Question

【題目】 The coffee shop Starbucks will give people a discount if they bring their own cups. It wants to cut down on the number of paper cups that are put in the rubbish bins. It is part of a two-month experiment in cafes in England. Starbucks wants to reduce waste and recycle more, The president of Starbucks in the UK said, "We are very happy to increase recycling rates(比率)，and reusable cups are a key part of our waste reduction plan." Bosses will decide later if they will continue the discounts. People who bring their own cups will not get a discount on the cafe's cheaper filter coffee.

The problem of paper cups has been in the news a lot. Around seven million cups are thrown away every day. Reporters say that some cafes lie about how many paper cups they recycle. The reporters say the cafes do not recycle as many cups as they say. Customers wrongly believe that a coffee shop is environmentally friendly. Less than one in 400 paper cups at coffee shops are recycled. A coffee drinker said she would bring her own cup. She said, "I am so sad that cafes recycle so little. I thought they were more responsible."

【解析】

本文介紹了星巴克咖啡給自帶杯子的顧客打折，通過這種方式，減少紙杯的浪費，促進(jìn)環(huán)保。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“The coffee shop Starbucks will give people a discount if they bring their own cups.”可知，如果人們自帶杯子，星巴克咖啡店會給他們打折。故選C。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“It is part of a two-month experiment in cafes in England.”可知，給自帶杯顧客打折是英國咖啡館兩個月實驗的一部分，所以此次實驗會持續(xù)兩個月。故選B。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“Around seven million cups are thrown away every day.”可知，每天大約有七百萬杯子被扔掉，所以此處是“人們在咖啡館浪費的是紙杯子”。故選C。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“She said, "I am so sad that cafes recycle so little. I thought they were more responsible."”可知，咖啡館回收再利用杯子的情況太少了，咖啡館應(yīng)該有更多的責(zé)任，所以此處是“當(dāng)人們知道咖啡館浪費了許多杯子以后，感到很悲傷”。故選D。

【5】主旨大意題。根據(jù)“It wants to cut down on the number of paper cups that are put in the rubbish bins.”和“We are very happy to increase recycling rates(比率)，and reusable cups are a key part of our waste reduction plan.”可知，星巴克咖啡想通過循環(huán)再使用杯子以降低被浪費的杯子數(shù)量，進(jìn)而減少廢棄物，改善環(huán)境，所以這篇文章主要是與環(huán)境有關(guān)。故選D。
