Answer 1

【答案】

【1】The US.

【2】关注电子垃圾引起注意是很重要的

【3】 be taken

【4】used ones/devices

【5】We can rent rather than buy the electronics. (答案不唯一)

【解析】

文章讲述我们生活在一个生产和使用电子产品的社会，产生了大量的电子垃圾。主要介绍如何减少电子垃圾。

【1】根据第二段“The US was the biggest waster,…”可知，美国产生的电子垃圾最多。故答案为The US.

【2】此句it是形式主语，真正主语为动词不定式to pay attention to e-waste，表示关注电子垃圾；important是形容词，意为“重要的”。故答案为关注电子垃圾引起注意是很重要的。

【3】原句是含有情态动词can的主动语态。改为同义句时，主语computers and phones是动词take的承受者，应是被动语态，故此句是含有情态动词can的被动语态，结构为can be done；take过去分词taken。故答案为(1). be (2). taken。

【4】根据前文“…now offers people a discount(折扣) in China if they hand in their used devices when buying new ones. The company will test and repair the used ones”可知，在购买新设备时交出旧设备，公司将对旧的进行测试和修理，由此判断以较低的价格出售旧设备。故画线单词them指代“旧设备”。故答案为used ones/devices。

【5】此答案不唯一。例如：我们可以租而不是买这些电子产品。故答案为We can rent rather than buy the electronics.
