【答案】

【4】companies

【5】recycling

【6】is

【7】easier

【8】them

【9】The/Those

【10】into

【解析】

试题分析：对于废弃电脑人们不知道如何处理，为此一些公司采取了相应措施来应对这个问题。有些国家也出台了关于废旧电脑处理办法的相关法律。废旧电脑也可以通过慈善机构捐赠给有所需求的地方。

【1】what 考查宾语从句。句意：绝大多数人表示不知道如何处理这些东西。know后面接what引导的宾语从句，故填what。

【2】 are thrown 考查被动语态。这里Many more指代的是陈旧却能够使用的电脑，作主语，与throw为动宾关系，且文中用的是现在时，因此这里用一般现在时的被动语态。故填are thrown。

【3】to bring 考查非谓语动词。句意：一些公司正在考虑一些方案，目的是为了降低旧电脑的数量。由语境可知，空中作的是目的状语，故填to bring。

【4】companies 考查名词。Dell, Hewlett Packard都是公司的名字，后面用and other表示与之并列的名词，即“和其它的公司”。故填companies。

【5】recycling 考查非谓语动词。pay for后面接动名词作宾语，and前后动名词形式应保持一致，故填recycling。

【6】is 考查主谓一致及时态。主语the idea是单数形式，谓语动词也应用单数，且全文用的现在时，故填is。

【7】easier 考查形容词比较级。句意：那个主意将会鼓励他们使得电脑更轻易修理和升级。这里暗含比较的意味，空中应用形容词比较级形式作宾语补足语。故填easier。

【8】them 考查代词。空中指代的是上句中的good computers，为了避免重复，用代词them表示。故填them。

【9】The/Those 考查冠词/代词。这里既可以用冠词The特指上文说的那些旧的电脑，又可以用代词Those指代上文提到的旧的电脑。故填The/Those。

【10】 into 考查介词。Turn sth into sth 意思是把某物转换为某物。句意为把某些人无用之物转换为其他人的有用的东西。故填 into
