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 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 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.

【解析】

这篇短文主语讲述了垃圾分类是一个世界性的大问题。如果你不分类你的垃圾，它会被送到垃圾填埋场一起掩埋，这样会对我们周围的环境造成危害。

【1】细节理解题。根据文中第二段“Shanghai has worked with Alipay to create a“green account(账户)” …they can exchange the points for milk, phone cards and other products.”可知，在支付宝的帮助下创建“绿色账户”服务。故选D。

【2】推理判断题。根据“Wet waste is also known as household waste.”及“They are things you don’t want but that pigs can eat,” 湿垃圾又称为生活垃圾。它们是你不想要的，但是猪可以吃。结合图片，电池，水和药不符合，A选项图片为生活垃圾，符合题意。故选A。

【3】词义猜测题。根据“If you don’t sort your garbage, all of it will go to a landfill and be buried together.如果你不把垃圾分类，所有的垃圾都会送去a landfill并被填埋” 以及“These landfills can take up large areas of ground that could have been used for planting trees or crops.”这些landfills可以占用大量原本可以使用种树和庄稼的地方。可猜测出垃圾是送去“填埋场”，这些地方会占用大量原本可以使用种树和庄稼的地方。故选C。

【4】细节理解题。根据文中倒数第二段“China is improving its waste-sorting efforts. There is still a long way to go.”可知，至于垃圾分类，我们还有很长的路要走。也就是“我们中国人还有很多工作要做”。故选B。

【5】段落大意题。通读整个最后一段可知，主要讲述了为什么我们要把垃圾分类，不分类会带来什么害处。“Why we should sort our garbage properly.”符合段意。故选B。
