Question

【题目】 If you are in Shanghai and want to throw away a cup of milk tea, be careful. You need to follow these steps: first, pour out any milk tea left into a wet waste bin; second, put the paper wrapper (包装材料) into a recyclable waste bin; third, throw the single-use cup and straw (吸管) into a dry waste bin.

Sounds complex ? You’ll have to get used to it. From July 1 on, people in Shanghai are required to separate their garbage according to strict rules. Many other cities in China are planning to create similar garbage -separating rules.

Why should we separate our garbage? The answer lies in the increasing of waste we are producing. Chinese cities produce over 200 million tons of waste each year, according to Chinese Economic. Most of this waste is buried (填埋), which may pollute water and soil! In addition, we are running out of space.

In fact, more than half of our waste can be recycled. Recyclable garbage can be made into new materials, while wet garbage can be used to make gas, heat and fertilizer (肥料). So in order to recycle better, we need to separate our garbage.

Can’t garbage-processing companies do the separating job for us? They can. But that requires a lot of work and costs lots of money. Things will become much easier if each of us can separate our own garbage. Besides, the hard task of separating might encourage people to produce less waste. Do you still want to buy that milk tea?

【1】词义猜测题。根据文中If you are in Shanghai and want to throw away a cup of milk tea, be careful. You need to follow these steps …into a dry waste bin.可知，这里说的是如果想丢掉一杯奶茶的步骤有很多步，所以这里的complex指的是“复杂的”，故选A。

【2】细节理解题。根据文中From July 1 on, people in Shanghai are required to separate their garbage according to strict rules. Many other cities in China are planning to create similar garbage -separating rules. 从7月1日起，上海市民必须严格按照规定将垃圾分类。中国其他许多城市也计划制定类似的垃圾分类规则。可知必须要按照严格的垃圾分类规则进行分类，故选B。

【3】细节理解题。根据文中Recyclable garbage can be made into new materials可回收垃圾可制成新材料。可知可回收的垃圾可以制成新的材料，故选C。

【4】细节理解题。根据文中the hard task of separating might encourage people to produce less waste. 分离的艰巨任务可能会鼓励人们减少浪费。可知可能会鼓励人们减少浪费，所以A选项错误；根据文中Chinese cities produce over 200 million tons of waste each year, according to Chinese Economic. 中国经济数据显示，中国城市每年产生超过2亿吨垃圾。可知B选项是正确的；根据文中Can’t garbage-processing companies do the separating job for us? They can. But that requires a lot of work and costs lots of money. 垃圾处理公司不能为我们做分离工作吗？他们可以。但这需要大量的工作和大量的金钱。可知垃圾处理公司可以进行垃圾分类，所以C选项是错误的；故选B。

【5】最佳标题题。根据整个文章的理解及文章的开头If you are in Shanghai and want to throw away a cup of milk tea, be careful.
