Question

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。

We all agree that we should recycle more — at home, in the office or when out and about. But for materials to be recycled, they first need to find their way to the right waste stream. 【1】 This is what the process of sorting allows us to do.

For effective recycling we need effective sorting. And this needs to happen first, in our own home and second, in sorting plants to which waste collected from our doorstep is taken. When you put a plastic bottle in the right recycling bin, you are helping sort recyclables. So the right material can be fed into the right recycling process. 【2】 They can be a loss of valuable resources from our economy.

【3】 For instance, in Brussels, Belgium, consumers put plastic packaging, cans and beverage cartons in blue bags designed for recyclable packaging; paper in yellow bags for recycling; and glass needs to be taken to specific collection bins. Somewhat differently, in Vienna (Austria), citizens can expect their paper, metal, glass and plastic to be separately collected in different weeks of the year. 【4】 In this way, they can sort their recyclables at home more effectively.

Once recyclable materials are collected from your doorstep, they are further sorted in specialized facilities which ensure the quality of the recycling process. 【5】 Traditionally, sorting has been done either manually with workers sorting what can be recycled and picking out the materials to be discarded or mechanically. Today, however, new technologies are being developed in order to speed up the process of sorting but to also yield better results. Exciting technologies using magnets or optical systems are being used to effectively sort materials so more of it can be recycled.

A.If sorting doesn't happen, recyclable materials can end up in landfills.

B.This is where different sorting techniques come into play.

C.In Europe, collection systems vary from country to country.

D.So citizens need to be aware of their local collection system.

E.Then they can be collected and taken to the right place for recycling.

F.The rest, though they could be recycled and reused, were landfilled or burned.

G.In recent years, Europe has seen a 25% growth in recycling secondary raw materials.

【5】B

【解析】

這是一篇說明文。文章講述了在環(huán)保方面垃圾回收分類的重要性以及如何具體分類。

【1】上文But for materials to be recycled, they first need to find their way to the right waste stream. (但，要讓材料得到回收利用，他們首先需要找到通向正確廢物流通的道路)與E. Then they can be collected and taken to the right place for recycling. (然后，它們才能被收集并運(yùn)送到正確的地方進(jìn)行回收利用)承接自然，前后文是明顯的順承關(guān)系，first和then是關(guān)鍵詞，故選E項(xiàng)。

【2】下文They can be a loss of valuable resources from our economy. (它們可能是我們經(jīng)濟(jì)中寶貴資源的損失)與A. If sorting doesn't happen, recyclable materials can end up in landfills. (如果不進(jìn)行分類，可回收材料最終會被填埋)承接自然，下文的they就是選項(xiàng)中的recyclable materials，故選A項(xiàng)。

【3】下文For instance, in Brussels, Belgium, consumers put plastic packaging, cans and beverage cartons in blue bags designed for recyclable packaging (例如，在比利時(shí)布魯塞爾，消費(fèi)者將塑料包裝、易拉罐和飲料紙盒裝入藍(lán)色的袋子里，這些袋子是為可循環(huán)使用的包裝設(shè)計(jì)的)與C. In Europe, collection systems vary from country to country. (在歐洲，收集系統(tǒng)因國家而異)承接自然，下文是對選項(xiàng)的舉例說明，Europe和Belgium是關(guān)鍵詞，故選C項(xiàng)。

【4】上文Somewhat differently, in Vienna (Austria), citizens can expect their paper, metal, glass and plastic to be separately collected in different weeks of the year. (有些不同的是，在維也納（奧地利）市民可以期望他們的紙、金屬、玻璃和塑料在一年中不同的星期被分別收集) 與D. So citizens need to be aware of their local collection system. (因此，市民要了解他們當(dāng)?shù)氐氖占�制�?/span>)承接自然，選項(xiàng)是對上文內(nèi)容的總結(jié)，citizens是關(guān)鍵詞，故選D項(xiàng)。

【5】上文Once recyclable materials are collected from your doorstep, they are further sorted in specialized facilities which ensure the quality of the recycling process.(一旦可回收的材料從你的家門口被收集起來，它們就會在專門的設(shè)施中被進(jìn)一步分類，以確�；厥者^程的質(zhì)量)與B. This is where different sorting techniques come into play.(這就是不同分類技術(shù)發(fā)揮作用的地方)承接自然，上文的specialized facilities就是選項(xiàng)中提到的different sorting techniques，故選B項(xiàng)。
