試題分析：本文講述在當(dāng)今社會(huì)，回收再利用是非常重要和必要的，它能保護(hù)環(huán)境，使環(huán)境繼續(xù)適合我們居住。

【1】E 根據(jù)上句when people have many material possessions, they are bound to throw some of them away.（當(dāng)人們有很多東西時(shí)，他們一定會(huì)扔掉一些。）可知，這會(huì)產(chǎn)生垃圾，毀掉環(huán)境。故選E。

【2】A 根據(jù)上句：你應(yīng)該把紙、金屬、玻璃和塑料分別放在不同的容器里。再根據(jù)空格下句：他們能變成有價(jià)值的肥料。故A項(xiàng)Fallen leaves can also be recycled.（落葉也能再利用。）符合語(yǔ)境，故選A。
