Question

【題目】

People can reduce, reuse, or recycle waste instead of throwing it away. Matt and Sam decided to do an experiment. They wanted to see exactly how much waste the three R's could save.

First, they collected the rubbish from six classrooms at their school. They divided the rubbish into three groups:

●things that were reusable, such as a pencil or a marker that had been thrown away

●things that could be recycled, such as cans, glass, or paper

●things that were truly waste Then, Matt and Sam weighed each of the three groups. They learned that 84% of the total rubbish thrown away that day could be recycled or reused. They decided to do something about it.

Matt and Sam presented the idea of starting a recycling programme to the school leaders. Then they worked with the Student Council. They prepared brochures (手冊) to send home to tell the students and their families about recycling. They stated in the brochure that recycling helps to keep our planet healthy. The school bought colored containers (容器) for each classroom. Each room received a blue container for paper and a green container for glass and cans. They also received a red container for real rubbish.

Within a short time, each classroom in the school was sorting recyclable materials from rubbish before it was thrown. Matt and Sam decided to weigh the rubbish one more time. They wanted to check the school's progress. They collected the rubbish from the red containers from the same six classrooms as before. They sorted the rubbish into three groups again and weighed each group. This time, they were pleased to find that the red containers were filled with 90%waste that should be thrown away. Only 10% of recyclable materials had been thrown into the red containers. Matt and Sam were pleased with their school's effort at reducing waste on our planet.

【3】A

【解析】

這是一篇關(guān)于廢物利用的說明文，主要講述了人們可以減少、再利用或回收廢物，為了搞清楚這三種方式到底能節(jié)省多少，馬特和薩姆做一個將垃圾分類的實(shí)驗，最終得出結(jié)論：每天至少84%的垃圾可以回收或再利用，以及回收有助于環(huán)保。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“Matt and Sam decided to do an experiment. They wanted to see exactly how much waste the three R's could save.”可知，他們做這個實(shí)驗是為了搞清楚三個R可以節(jié)省多少廢物，故選C。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“They prepared brochures (手冊) to send home to tell the students and their families about recycling.”可知，他們準(zhǔn)備宣傳冊并寄回家告訴學(xué)生們和他們的家人關(guān)于回收的知識，故選D。

【3】推理判斷題。馬特和薩姆做的實(shí)驗是為了搞清楚三個R可以節(jié)省多少廢物，以及回收有助于環(huán)保。從這里可以看出他們是有責(zé)任心的人，故選A。
