Question

【题目】 When your pen is broken, the battery in your toy runs out, or you have some leftover food, what do you do with these things? You will probably throw them all into one bin. But actually, all of these pieces of trash need to be sorted(分类) separately. In recent years, some Chinese cities have been working hard on it.

Shanghai has worked with Alipay to create a“ green account(绿色账户)”service for people. Account holders get points by correctly sorting their garbage. Through the Alipay app, they can exchange the points for milk, phone cards and other products. The city is asking all of its people to sort their garbage into four groups: wet, recyclable, harmful and dry.

Wet waste is also known as household waste. “They are things you don’t want but that pigs can eat,” Guangzhou Daily explained. Paper, metal, glass and other things that can be reused are recyclable waste. Harmful waste includes things like medicine, batteries and fluorescent bulbs(荧光灯泡).Finally, any waste that’s not wet, recyclable or harmful will go in the “dry waste” bin.

Many other Chinese cities are also using this method to sort their garbage. For example, Shenzhen has been sorting its garbage into the same four groups since 2012. Students there also receive waste-sorting guidebooks that they must study.

China is improving its waste-sorting efforts. There is still a long way to go. But it’s never too late to learn how to sort your trash properly and protect the environment.

If you don’t sort your garbage, all of it will go to a landfill(垃圾填埋场) and be buried together. These landfills can take up large areas of ground that could have been used for planting trees or crops. The electronic waste you throw away, such as batteries, can pollute the soil and groundwater. Other pieces of garbage, like the metal part of a pen, can be used to make other things if they are properly recycled.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】B

【2】B

【3】D

【4】A

【5】C

【解析】

本文主要讲述了垃圾分类是一个世界性问题。如果不分类垃圾，它就会被送到垃圾填埋场一起掩埋，这会对周围的环境造成危害，

【1】细节理解题。根据第一段中“But actually, all of these pieces of trash need to be sorted(分类) separately.”可知，所有垃圾都应该被分类。故选B。

【2】细节理解题。根据第二段中“The city is asking all of its people to sort their garbage into four groups: wet, recyclable, harmful and dry.”可知，伤害要求把垃圾分为：湿垃圾、可回收垃圾、有害垃圾和干垃圾。共四类垃圾。故选B。

【3】细节理解题。根据第二段中“Shanghai has worked with Alipay to create a“ green account(绿色账户)”service for people. Account holders get points by correctly sorting their garbage. Through the Alipay app, they can exchange the points for milk, phone cards and other products.”可知，上海通过建立绿色账户，帐户持有人通过正确分类他们的垃圾获得积分。通过支付宝应用，他们可以用积分兑换牛奶、电话卡和其他产品这个方式鼓励人们进行垃圾分类。故选D。

【4】推理判断题。A：金属；B：电池；C：灯泡；D：药。细节理解题。根据第三段中“Harmful waste includes things like medicine, batteries and fluorescent bulbs(荧光灯泡).”可知，有害废物包括药物、电池和荧光灯泡。故选A。

【5】推理判断题。A：垃圾填埋场是处理垃圾的好方法。根据最后一段中“If you don’t sort your garbage, all of it will go to a landfill(垃圾填埋场) and be buried together. These landfills can take up large areas of ground that could have been used for planting trees or crops.”可知，垃圾填埋场会占用大面积本来可以用来种植树木或农作物的土地，所以不是处理垃圾的好方法，该项表述错误；B：现在教人们如何正确分类垃圾已经太晚了。根据倒数第二段中“But it’s never too late to learn how to sort your trash properly and protect the environment.”可知，学习如何正确分类垃圾和保护环境永远不会太迟，该项表述错误；C：深圳从2012年开始实施垃圾分类系统。根据第四段中“Shenzhen has been sorting its garbage into the same four groups since 2012.”可知，深圳从2012年开始实施垃圾分类，该项表述正确；D：深圳人不需要分类垃圾。根据常识及文章内容可知，垃圾分类还有很长的路要走，没有哪个城市是特殊的，都需要一起行动起来，该项表述错误。故选C。
