Question

【題目】 A new rubbish sorting system (垃圾分類系統(tǒng)) has been put into use in Fangchengyuan Community in Beijing. Local people not only sort their rubbish, but also put QR codes (二維碼) on it.

"When the rubbish is collected and the codes are seen, I will get reward points to exchange for small gifts and even some money," one of the local people told reporters. "It's really creative and encouraging."

This smart system has been carried out in 350 communities in Beijing. The capital of China has joined a list of cities in the country that take action to support rubbish sorting. For example, Shenzhen and Shanghai have made laws to punish people and organizations for not sorting rubbish correctly.

China produces quite a lot of rubbish every year. Much of the rubbish is buried in soil or burned without being sorted. Landfills (填埋場) take up a lot of land and have a risk of polluting the soil and water nearby. And burning rubbish can produce harmful gases. Through rubbish sorting, we can reduce the use of landfills and air pollution.

What's more, rubbish sorting saves resources, which could bring economic benefits (經(jīng)濟利益). For example, a ton of waste paper can be reused to make about 850 kg of paper, saving 17 trees and 50 percent of water. Because of their benefits, some countries have developed successful sorting systems.

Japan has a strict and detailed system. When people throw away a water bottle, the cap, the wrapper (包裝紙) and the bottle itself have to go into three different bins. Every year, families receive special rubbish sorting timetables and directions from their local governments. They are advised to follow the timetables and directions when they throw away rubbish.

In Australia, every family is provided with three rubbish bins -the red lid (蓋子) bin for "general waste" like food and plastic bags, the yellow lid bin for "recycling" like steel and glass, and the green lid bin for "green waste" such as grass and leaves. On the streets, the bins are printed with pictures of the things that are allowed inside. It makes recycling quite easy.

【1】Which of the following is NOT the consequence (后果) of burying rubbish?

A.Polluting soil.B.Polluting water.

C.Taking up a lot of land.D.Saving resources.

【2】Which paragraph discuss the economic benefits of rubbish sorting?

A.Paragraph 3.B.Paragraph 4.

C.Paragraph 5.D.Paragraph 6.

【3】In Australia, which bin should you put food left after dinner in?

A.The red lid bin.B.The yellow lid bin.

C.The green lid bin.D.The black lid bin.

【4】Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?

A.In Australia, the green lid bin is used for all kinds of recyclable (可回收的) waste.

B.In Japan, all kinds of things for recycling are printed on rubbish bins.

C.Japanese people cannot throw a bottle into a bin unless they move away the wrapper first.

D.Australian people have to obey local timetables and directions to throw away rubbish strictly.

【4】C

【解析】

本文介紹了中國，日本和澳大利亞采取的垃圾分類的政策。

【1】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“Much of the rubbish is buried in soil or burned without being sorted. Landfills (填埋場) take up a lot of land and have a risk of polluting the soil and water nearby.”可知，填埋垃圾會占用很多土地，會有污染附近的土壤和水的危險，故選D。

【2】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)“What's more, rubbish sorting saves resources, which could bring economic benefits (經(jīng)濟利益).”可知，第5段討論了垃圾分類的經(jīng)濟效益。故選C。

【3】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)“In Australia, every family is provided with three rubbish bins -the red lid (蓋子) bin for "general waste" like food and plastic bags,”在澳大利亞，你應(yīng)該把晚飯后剩下的食物放在紅色蓋子的垃圾箱里，故選A。

【4】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)“In Australia, …and the green lid bin for "green waste" such as grass and leaves.”可知，在澳大利亞，綠色蓋子的垃圾箱被用于像草和樹葉這樣的“綠色廢物”，不是所有的廢物，因此A項不正確。根據(jù)“Japan has a strict and detailed system. When people throw away a water bottle, the cap, the wrapper (包裝紙) and the bottle itself have to go into three different bins.”可知，日本有嚴(yán)格而詳細的制度。當(dāng)人們?nèi)拥粢粋�水瓶時，瓶蓋、包裝和瓶子本身必須放進三個不同的箱子里。因此B項不正確。根據(jù)“When people throw away a water bottle, the cap, the wrapper (包裝紙) and the bottle itself have to go into three different bins.”可知，如果日本人在扔掉一個水瓶時，不把包裝紙拿掉，不能把瓶子扔進垃圾箱里，因此C項正確。根據(jù)“Japan has a strict and detailed system. … They are advised to follow the timetables and directions when they throw away rubbish.”可知，日本人必須遵守當(dāng)?shù)氐臅r間表和指示，嚴(yán)格地扔垃圾，不是澳大利亞人，因此D項不正確。故選C。
