Question

【题目】 Did you know that almost 100% of the materials in your mobile phone can be recovered and recycled to generate energy or make new products, such as plastic products, electronics or even jewelry? Every mobile phone contains significant amounts of copper, aluminum, gold, plastic and other non-metals that can be recycled and reused.

The Singtel x SingPost E-waste Recycling Programme, launched on World Environment Day, 5 June 2017, is a cooperation between the two leading ICT and postal companies as part of their environmental sustainability efforts.

Called ReCYCLE, the programme provides the means for people to do their part for the environment by recycling their mobile and internet related electronic waste such as mobile phones and chargers, laptops and tablets, modems and routers, and other related accessories(配件).

These unwanted devices can be dropped off into the ReCYCLE bins at selected Singtel Shop and Singtel Exclusive Retailer outlets and Post Offices. You can also ask for a ReCYCLE envelope from any Singtel Shop and Singtel Exclusive Retailer outlets, and Post Offices, and mail your mobile device and accessories at no charge.

This programme reduces waste as it ensures that the valuable metals and components the devices contain get recovered. However, e-waste that is often thrown away, including all the precious metals that it contains, will be burnt and landfilled at Semakau Landfill.

Is the data in my e-waste safe when sent for recycling?

We assured that all storage media devices like SIM cards, memory cards, USB flash drives and hard drives are safe for recycling. Cimelia, our e-waste recycling partner is a reliable and NEA-licensed company, which are only interested in extracting(提取) the precious metals from the devices, NOT the data in them. The devices will go through a crushing process for secure destruction after the whole extraction process.

本文为说明文。主要说明ReCYCLE回收项目的内容，以及如何进行回收、回收有何意义。

【1】推理判断题。根据第三段“Called ReCYCLE, the programme provides the means for people to do their part for the environment by recycling their mobile and internet related electronic waste...and other related accessories(配件).”可知，ReCYCLE回收项目通过回收移动和互联网相关的电子废物，...为人们提供了为环境尽自己一份力的方式。以及第五段“This programme reduces waste as it ensures that the valuable metals and components the devices contain get recovered.” 这项计划减少了浪费，因为它确保回收设备中的贵重金属和部件。由此可知，这个回收项目目的是收集电子材料，为环保出一份力。分析选项可知D项（环保地收集材料）符合题意，故选D。

【2】推理判断题。根据第四段最后“You can also ask for a ReCYCLE envelope from any Singtel Shop and Singtel Exclusive Retailer outlets, and Post Offices, and mail your mobile device and accessories at no charge.”您还可以向任何Singtel商店、Singtel独家零售店和邮局索取回收信封，并免费邮寄您的移动设备和配件。可知，邮寄设备是免费。故选A。

【3】推理判断题。根据第五段“This programme reduces waste as it ensures that the valuable metals and components the devices contain get recovered. However, e-waste that is often thrown away, including all the precious metals that it contains, will be burnt and landfilled at Semakau Landfill.”可知，这项计划确保回收设备中的贵重金属和部件。这些经常被丢弃的电子垃圾，包括它所含的所有贵金属，将会被焚烧和填埋。尤其是第七段“which are only interested in extracting(提取) the precious metals from the devices, NOT the data in them.” 它只对从设备中提取贵金属感兴趣。由此可知，这个项目更加重视金属的回收利用。故选A。

【4】推理判断题。主要说明ReCYCLE回收项目的内容，以及如何进行回收、回收有何意义。且本文中涉及到许多科技产品及科技术语，所以应该出自科技周刊。故选B。

推理判断题是根据事实细节，推断合理信息。推理题要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上，作出一定判断和推论，从而得到文章的隐含意义和深层意义。推理题所涉及的内容可能是文中某一句话，也可是某几句话，但做题的指导思想都是以文字信息为依据，既不能做出在原文中找不到文字根据的推理，也不能根据表面文字信息做多步推理。也就是说，要做到判断有据, 推论有理, 忠实原文。切忌用自己的观点代替作者的本意，切忌片面思考，得出片面结论。如第3小题属于推理判断题。根据第五段“This programme reduces waste as it ensures that the valuable metals and components the devices contain get recovered. However, e-waste that is often thrown away, including all the precious metals that it contains, will be burnt and landfilled at Semakau Landfill.”可知，这项计划确保回收设备中的贵重金属和部件。这些经常被丢弃的电子垃圾，包括它所含的所有贵金属，将会被焚烧和填埋。尤其是第七段“which are only interested in extracting(提取) the precious metals from the devices, NOT the data in them.” 它只对从设备中提取贵金属感兴趣。由此可知，这个项目更加重视金属的回收利用。故选A。
