Question

【題目】Have you ever heard of e-waste(electric waste,電子垃圾), which can be produced every day? How do you deal with your computers, MP4 players and mobile phones when they’re broken or you want a new one?

Most people just throw them away. With the development of electric industry, e-waste pollution has become a serious problem. According to the United Nations, in 2014, people around the world produced 41.8 million tons of e-waste and only recycled 6.5 million tons. The US was the biggest waster, producing 7.1 million tons. China came second, with 6 million tons.

It’s important to pay attention to e-waste. It can either be valuable or harmful（有害的）, depending on how we deal with it. E-waste is a valuable urban mine（城市礦藏）. The value of the metals, like gold and silver in the waste around the world, is amazing. And the metals can be reused. But if people throw them away, the toxic chemicals（有毒化學物質(zhì)） can get into the earth or air,effectingthe environment and people’s health.

Apple, for example, now recycle people’s used products in China when they are buying new ones. The company will test and repair the used ones and sell them at lower prices. To help reduce（減少）e-waste, we can also take computers and phones to see if companies offer recycling programs.

【解析】短文大意：這篇短文給我們介紹了電子垃圾，隨著科技的發(fā)展，電子產(chǎn)品更新?lián)Q代的速度越來越快，這樣我們舊的東西不要了，有些人就把他們?nèi)拥袅耍�產(chǎn)生了很多電子垃圾。電子垃圾對環(huán)境和人們的健康是有危害的，因此我們應想辦法正確的處理電子垃圾，減少污染。

【1】C

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的句子“How do you deal with your computers, MP4 players and mobile phones when they’re broken or you want a new one?”可知，電腦，MP4和手機都會產(chǎn)生電子垃圾，所以答案為C（塑料袋子），它不會產(chǎn)生電子垃圾。

【2】A

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)題干可知，答案應定位在第二段中的句子“According to the United Nations, in 2014, people around the world produced 41.8 million tons of e-waste and only recycled 6.5 million tons The US was the biggest waster, producing 7.1 million tons”可知，美國的電子垃圾是最多的，故選A。

【3】B

詞義猜測題。根據(jù)關(guān)鍵詞定位到the toxic chemicals（有毒化學物質(zhì)） can get into the earth or air, effecting the environment and people’s health，意思是：有毒物質(zhì)進入到了土壤和空氣中，影響環(huán)境和人們的健康。根據(jù)因果關(guān)系可推知，這對環(huán)境和人們的健康肯定是有影響的。affect影響，故答案為B。

【4】B

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)題干可知，答案應在第四段，根據(jù)The company will test and repair the used ones and sell them at lower prices.可知A選項 不正確；C選項在短文中沒有提到。根據(jù)文意可知，如果我們想要減少電子垃圾，購買持續(xù)時間更長的電子產(chǎn)品是一個好辦法。故應選B。

【5】C

主旨大意題。根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容可知，電子產(chǎn)品會產(chǎn)生大量的電子垃圾，而電子垃圾對環(huán)境和人們的健康是有危害的，因此我們應想辦法正確的處理電子垃圾，減少污染。與選項答案一致的是C選項。
