Question

【題目】 Recently, the most heated topic of “which is the right bin for my garbage” has swept China.

Shanghai is among China’ s first cities to introduce garbage classification (垃圾分類) and also the country’s most serious in its performing. Since July 1,2019, Shanghai residents have been required by law to sort garbage into four different categories, or they could face fines. Individuals, including tourists, can be fined 200 yuan for failing to sort their waste properly, while companies and institutions can be fined up to 50,000 yuan.

The government has set up online apps to handle sorting questions, and announced guidelines to address the “one-size-fits-all” method. The country is about to invest over 21 billion yuan in the construction of garbage processing facilities to meet demands. Now it’s introducing artificial intelligence into its waste management system, by setting up little cameras in many sets of bins.

However, not every face can be recognized by the smart dustbin until you register for the system. Once registration is complete, users will scan a QR code on the bin, which then opens it up to allow for garbage disposal (處理). Now, each household gets one special QR code for throwing out waste. Here, the intelligent bins don’t just calculate garbage weight, they also help residents gain rewards by collecting points through the special app.

China is stepping into the age of compulsory garbage sorting with its cities revising laws on garbage classification. For Shanghai, sixty percent of the city is expected to carry out garbage sorting by the end of 2019, and 90 percent by 2020. Garbage sorting is, without doubt, a costly but worthwhile endeavor. It is good for the environment and important for the country’s sustainable development (可持續(xù)發(fā)展), and may finally turn out to be a promising industry as well.

① Gain rewards.

② Open up the bin

③ Register for the system.

④ Scan a QR code on the bin.

A.③④②①B.④②③①

A.The intelligent bins can only show garbage weight.

B.Residents have to sort garbage into four different categories in Shanghai.

C.If companies forget to sort their waste, they can be fined 200 yuan.

D.Tourists can avoid being fined for failing to sort their waste correctly.

【4】Why does our country push ahead with compulsory garbage sorting?

A.To build a garbage sorting system.

B.To increase the use of artificial intelligence.

C.To promote sustainable development of environment.

【2】A

【3】B

【4】C

【解析】

這是一篇說明文。最近，最熱門的話題“哪個垃圾桶最適合我的垃圾”席卷了中國。在上海，居民必須把垃圾分成四類。我國要推行強制垃圾分類是為了促進環(huán)境的可持續(xù)發(fā)展。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段However, not every face can be recognized by the smart dustbin until you register for the system. Once registration is complete, users will scan a QR code on the bin, which then opens it up to allow for garbage disposal (處理). Now, each household gets one special QR code for throwing out waste. Here, the intelligent bins don’t just calculate garbage weight, they also help residents gain rewards by collecting points through the special app.“然而，并不是每一張臉都能被智能垃圾桶識別，直到你注冊了這個系統(tǒng)。注冊完成后，用戶將掃描垃圾桶上的二維碼，然后打開垃圾桶進行垃圾處理�，F(xiàn)在，每個家庭都有一個特殊的二維碼來扔垃圾。在這里，智能垃圾桶不僅可以計算垃圾的重量，還可以通過這款特殊的應用，幫助居民通過積分獲得獎勵。”由此可知，使用智能垃圾分類系統(tǒng)的正確順序是A項 ③④②①。故選A。

【2】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)最后一段中For Shanghai, sixty percent of the city is expected to carry out garbage sorting by the end of 2019, and 90 percent by 2020.在上海，預計到2019年底，60%的城市將進行垃圾分類，到2020年，這一比例將達到90%。和It is good for the environment and important for the country’s sustainable development (可持續(xù)發(fā)展), and may finally turn out to be a promising industry as well.“它對環(huán)境有好處，對國家的可持續(xù)發(fā)展也很重要，最終可能會成為一個有前途的行業(yè)。”由此推知，Garbage sorting is, without doubt, a costly but worthwhile endeavor.（毫無疑問，垃圾分類是一項成本高昂但值得努力的工作。）中的劃線詞的意思是“努力”。故選A。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中Since July 1,2019, Shanghai residents have been required by law to sort garbage into four different categories, or they could face fines.“自2019年7月1日起，上海居民被法律要求將垃圾分為四類，否則將面臨罰款。”由此可知，在上海，居民必須把垃圾分成四類。故選B。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中It is good for the environment and important for the country’s sustainable development (可持續(xù)發(fā)展), and may finally turn out to be a promising industry as well.“它對環(huán)境有好處，對國家的可持續(xù)發(fā)展也很重要，最終可能會成為一個有前途的行業(yè)。”由此判斷出，我國要推行強制垃圾分類是為了促進環(huán)境的可持續(xù)發(fā)展。故選C。
