A new factory that turns used wine bottles into green sand could revolutionize the recycling industry and help to filter（過濾）the nation's drinking water.
For the last 100 years special high grade white sand quarried（開采）at Leighton Buzzard in Bedfordshire has been used to filter tap water to remove bacteria and impurities—but this may no longer be necessary.
The green sand has already been successfully tested by water companies and is being used in 50 swimming pools in Scotland to keep the water clean.
Backed by one million pounds from the European Union and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs(Defar),a company based in Scotland is building a factory to turn beverage bottles back into the sand from which they were made.
The idea is not only to avoid using up increasingly scarce sand in Scotland and avoid any further quarrying but also to solve a crisis in the recycles only 750 000 tones of it.
Howard Dryden, the scientist and managing director of the company has spent six years working on what he calls Active Filtration Meadia, or AFM, the recycled glass. He says he needs bottles that have already contained drinkable liquids to be sure that drinking water would not be polluted.
"The fact is that tests show that AFM does the job better than glass, it is easier to clean and reuse and has all sorts of properties that make it ideal for other applications, "he claimed. He also thinks the market will be able to take 250 000 tones of green sand a year. The plan is to build five or six factories in cites in UK where the bottles come from to cut down on transport.
The factory will be completed this month and is expected to go into full production on January 14 next year. Once it is providing a "regular" product, the government's drinking water inspectorate will be asked to perform tests and approve it for general use by water companies.
【小題1】It may no longer be necessary to use high-grade white sand to keep water clean because_____.

A．there is no need to keep water clean
B．A new factory has been set up
C．The green sand has been used to keep the water clean
D．White sand is being use up
【小題2】According to the passage ,the new idea can do the following except_____.
A．a(chǎn)voiding using up increasingly scarce sand
B．a(chǎn)voiding further quarrying of white sand
C．solving the crisis in the recycling industry
D．cutting down the cost on transport
【小題3】Tests show that ______ in keeping the water clean.
A．AFM is more efficient than white sand
B．AFM is more efficient than glass
C．glass is more efficient than AFM
D．white sand is more efficient than green sand
【小題4】The underlined word "Backed" in the third paragraph can best be replaced by"_____".
A．AllowedB．Opposed
C．SupportedD．Forbidden
【小題5】What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Revolution in the Recycling for the Industry.
B．Modern Technology an New Markets.
C．Revolution in Environmental Protection.
D．Unlocking the Benefits of Green Sand.

Taking the dog to the beach on a hot summer's day is a great way to relax. But not all beaches are dog friendly. So if you're looking to take your dog to the coast this summer, here's a few of the country's most dog-friendly beaches.

Sunshine Beach
Where: Noosa, Queensland
Only a 10-minute drive from Noosa, Sunshine Beach also welcomes dogs with open paws. Once known as Golden Beach, its long white beaches make it a paradise for anyone who loves fishing, boating, surfing or just relaxing on the beach with family and friends.
Restrictions (限定): Dogs can freely explore the shoreline from Noosa National Park to the path leading from Seaview Terrace.
Tallow Beach
Where: Byron Bay, New South Wales
With white sand that stretches (延伸) for miles, and clean, clear waters washing its shores, Byron certainly doesn't want for beautiful beaches — and Tallow Beach is no exception. This seven-kilometer-long beach stretches all the way to Broken Head Reserve.
Restrictions: The beach's dog-friendly area starts near Jarman Street and stretches north to the outside of Arakwal National Park.
Muirs Beach
Where: Coles Bay, Tasmania
One of the few beaches that falls outside of Freycinet National Park, Muirs, is a great family beach that welcomes dogs, too. Compared to famous sheltered beaches of Freycinet, it is more open to the waves from the Tasman Sea, making it ideal for windsurfing. The beach itself is very long, so there is plenty of space to let your dog run free.
Restrictions: Dog owners must respect the environment and use the poop bags provided at the entrance to the beach to get rid of any dog waste.Fines apply (運(yùn)用).
Yorkeys Knob Beach
Where: Queensland
Located just 15 minutes from Cairns, Yorkeys Knob Beach is a great spot to relax with your dog. Named after a local fisherman called "Yorkey" who lived on the rocky hill (“knob”), this wonderful little beach is one of the best-kept secrets in Tropical North Queensland. It is ideal for swimming and snorkelling in the summer season.
Restrictions: The southern end of the beach is the "dog off-chain" end where your dog is allowed to run free; dogs must be on a chain in all other areas of the beach.
【小題1】What can we learn from the underlined sentence?
A．Tallow Beach is not popular in Byron Bay.
B．Beautiful beaches are not important in Byron Bay.
C．Tallow Beach is the most beautiful beach in Byron Bay.
D．Tallow Beach is one of the beautiful beaches in Byron Bay.
【小題2】On Muirs Beach, if people do not get rid of dog waste,         .
A．it’s just fine to let it be
B．they have to clean the beach
C．they’ll get punished by paying money
D．they have to provide poop bags at the entrance to the beach
【小題3】Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．All beaches welcome people together with their dogs.
B．Tallow Beach was named after a local fisherman.
C．Yorkeys Knob Beach is a good place for windsurfing.
D．Dogs can run free only on some of the beaches mentioned above.
