Sweden produces around 4.4 million tons of household waste a year, but only about 1% of it ends up in landfills (垃圾填埋场). When it comes to recycling, Sweden is ahead of the game. How has Sweden done it?
1 Schools encourage them to take part in activities that make recycling a part of daily life. People are advised to return bottles to supermarkets. In the southern 1 city of Helsingborg, beautiful music is played in public waste bins.2 There is even a national day for recycling.
The country also has a system named panta for recycling. It encourages people to recycle their cans and plastic bottles in exchange for money.3 People put their objects into a machine.The machine can show how much the object is worth.People can collect a voucher(代金券)for that amount, or they can give away the monev to those in need.4
Everyone takes part in recycling. Swedes sort their waste at home. The government has made recycling easy by placing recycling stations no more than 300 meters from homes,schools, and offices. Plastic, paper,metal,and glass objects have separate containers(容器).Each container is in a different color, and its holes are in different shapes.5 So the smell of waste can't come into neighborhoods at all. Below some recycling stations are underground pipelines(管道)that transport waste to collection centers. So the workers needn't to pick up the waste and take it to collection centers.
A. The process is very simple.B. Recycling is what they do every day.C. This makes recycling more enjoyable.D. All the containers are covered so well.E. Besides, all containers are placed together.F. Children are taught to recycle from a very young age.G. Last year.it helped recycle 1.8 billion bottles and cans.1._________ 2._________ 3._________ 4._________ 5._________
答案详析1.F根据下一句可知,学校鼓励他们参加那些能让回收成为日常生活一部分的活动。由此可推知,空处应该提到了“他们”所指代的对象,结合关键词Schools可知,F项“孩子们从很小的时候就被教育要回收利用”可引出下文,符合语境。下一句中的them指代Children。2.C根据上一句“In the southern city of Helsingborg,beautiful music is played in public waste bins.”可知,在南部城市赫尔辛堡,公共b垃圾桶里播放着优美的音乐。结合备选项可知.C项“这使得回收利用更加令人愉快”指出了音乐的作用,可承接上文,符合语境。3.A上文提到瑞典有专门鼓励人们用金属罐和塑料瓶换钱的系统,下文则详细介绍了如何用废品换钱的过程。故 A项“这个过程很简单”可承上启下,符合语境。4. G 通读第三段可知,本段主要介绍了一个鼓励人们用废品换钱的系统。空处位于段尾,故推测此处应对这一系统进行总结评价。G项“去年,它帮忙回收了18亿个瓶子和金属罐”可承接上文,符合语境。G项中的it指代的是第三段介绍的panta系统。5.D 上文对回收废品的容器进行了说明,下一句提到因此垃圾的气味完全不会进入社区。故推测空处应为产生这一效果的原因,故D项“所有容器都被密封得很好”可承上启下,符合语境。长难句分析原句:(最后一段倒数第二句)Below some recycling stations are underground pipelines that transport waste to collection centers.译文:一些回收站下面是地下管道,这些管道将垃圾运送到收集中心。分析:这是一个复合句。that引导定语从句,修饰先行词 underground pipelines。因表示地点的介词短语Below some recycling stations置于句首,且主语较长又无宾语,故本句用完全倒装。
