It was a sunny Sunday noon. Vicky and Frank were cleaning the room. Suddenly, Frank found an old remote control.
"I wonder what it can control..." Frank pressed the button.
"No! Wait!" cried Vicky.
Too late. The world started to move quickly! The only thing they saw now was black and green... Opening their eyes, they found that they were on a deserted land! The place had no sign of people and there were nearly no trees.
"Where have we come?" Frank asked.
When Vicky turned her head, she saw a huge monster(怪物).
The monster ran after them. Soon both of them were so tired that they couldn't move any more. They looked closely at the monster. It was made of all kinds of rubbish.
"Please don't do anything to us!" cried Vicky.
“Ha... Ha... Ha...” laughed the monster. "I am the RUBBISH monster! And I was created by you—humans. You threw all your waste on the earth and polluted its beauty. And here I am, as the result of all your irresponsible(不负责任的)behaviour."
There was complete silence for a while.
"Yes!" said Frank. "We are ashamed of our behaviour. And now we realize our mistake."
"Please leave us and let us go. We will not pollute the earth any more," said Vicky.
"That is not enough! I'm going to eat you alive!" cried the monster.
"Press the button, Frank! Now!" shouted Vicky.
For one second, they came back to the world of present.
"Is it a remote control of the time machine?" asked Frank.
"I don't know. But it was not the future I want to travel to!" said Vicky.

Exercise 5 of Unit 8 of 8B Integration ( I )
答案：1.C 2.A 3.D 4.C
解析：
【分析】
首先通读全文，理解故事大意：Vicky和Frank通过一个旧遥控器意外来到被污染的未来世界，遇到由垃圾组成的怪物，怪物指责人类污染地球，两人意识到错误后返回现在。
对于第1题，需定位怪物的台词，分析其表达的情绪和内容，逐一排除错误选项；第2题结合上下文语境，根据人物的态度和对话猜测生词含义；第3题需总结故事核心内容，选择最贴合主题的标题；第4题根据人物在文中的言行和态度，推断他们后续的行为。
【解析】
1. 第1题：根据怪物的话语“I am the RUBBISH monster! And I was created by you—humans. You threw all your waste on the earth and polluted its beauty. And here I am, as the result of all your irresponsible behaviour.”以及“That is not enough! I'm going to eat you alive!”可知，怪物对人类污染地球的不负责任行为感到愤怒。A选项“未来世界充满希望”与文中荒芜的未来场景不符；B选项“怪物由Frank和Vicky创造”错误，怪物是人类整体的行为造成的；D选项“所有人类都对自己的行为负责”与怪物指责人类不负责任矛盾，因此C选项正确。
2. 第2题：根据前文怪物的指责，以及Frank说的“And now we realize our mistake.”可知，他们对自己的行为感到愧疚，“ashamed”意为“羞愧的、抱歉的”，与A选项“Sorry”意思相近，因此选A。
3. 第3题：文章围绕Vicky和Frank通过遥控器来到未来污染世界的经历展开，核心是一次未来世界的旅行。A选项“深海旅行”与内容无关；B选项“很棒的遥控器”不符合，这次经历并不美好；C选项“友好的垃圾怪物”错误，怪物并不友好，因此D选项“A Trip to the Future World”是最佳标题。
4. 第4题：根据文中Vicky说的“But it was not the future I want to travel to!”以及两人在未来意识到污染的危害，可推断他们之后会采取行动保护环境。A选项“打败怪物”不符合，他们已返回现在；B选项“再次去未来”与他们的态度相悖；D选项“修理遥控器”文中未提及，因此C选项正确。
