We all know that recycling rubbish is very important. But sometimes it is not so convenient (方便的) when we can’t find a recycling bin anywhere.

Now a team of middle school students from North Dakota, US has solved that problem by designing(設計）the Recycling Bin app (應用程序).

This app encourages people to recycle. It provides users with a map of local recycling centres, and it allows them to save locations as favourites. Besides, this app also reminds users to recycle.

The group of nine sixth-graders is from STEM Centre Middle School. They came up with the idea as part of a school project for the Verizon Innovative App Challenge. Their school provided professional app training. It held a contest and gave Samsung tablets (三星平板電腦) as prizes.

The contest aims to develop interest in science, technology, engineering and Maths. In this contest, students present an app design that could solve a problem in their school or community. The nine students came up with the idea for the Recycling Bin when they saw a need for more recycling.

“We thought that this would really help a lot of people,” Jaden Hilkemann, 12, told Time For Kids.

They kept their design simple so that anyone could use it. Now the free Recycling Bin app has been put into use in the Google Play app store for Android phones or tablets.

“I was so excited when it showed up at the app store,” Seralyn Blake, 12, said. “A lot of people downloaded the app. It was pretty cool.”

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】rubbish

【2】designed

【3】reminds

【4】simple

【5】interested

【解析】

文章大意：文章主要介紹的是美國的一個中學生團隊設計出了一種幫助資源回收利用的應用程序。

【1】句意：幫助回收垃圾的應用程序。

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段“We all know …… anywhere”“我們都知道回收垃圾是非常重要的。但有時，當我們在任何地方都找不到回收站時，就不那么方便了”和第二段第一、二行“US has solved that problem by designing(設計）the Recycling Bin app (應用程序)”“美國通過設計回收箱應用程序解決了這個問題”可知，應該是回收垃圾的應用程序，rubbish意為“垃圾”，故填rubbish。

【2】句意：它是由一隊中學生設計的。

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段第一、二行“US has solved that problem by designing(設計）the Recycling Bin app (應用程序)”“美國通過設計回收箱應用程序解決了這個問題”可知，應該是被設計，由所給空前面的is可知，應該填的是動詞的過去分詞，構(gòu)成被動語態(tài)，design意為“設計”過去分詞是designed，故填designed。

【3】句意：它鼓勵并提醒人們循環(huán)利用。

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段第一行“This app encourages people to recycle”“這個應用程序鼓勵人們循環(huán)利用”和第三段第二行“this app also reminds users to recycle”“這個應用程序也提醒使用者循環(huán)利用”可知，應該填的是提醒，it是第三人稱單數(shù)，所以remind“提醒”用第三人稱單數(shù)形式reminds，故填reminds。

【4】句意：它很簡單，所以任何人都可以使用。

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段第一行“They kept their design simple so that anyone could use it”“他們使設計簡單，以便任何人都能使用”可知，應該填的是簡單的，simple意為“簡單的”，故填simple。

【5】句意：為了讓學生對科學、技術(shù)、工程和數(shù)學產(chǎn)生興趣。

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第五段第一行“The contest aims to develop interest in science, technology, engineering and Maths”“這次競賽旨在培養(yǎng)人們對科學、技術(shù)、工程和數(shù)學的興趣”可知，應該是對……感興趣，become interested in意為“對……感興趣”，故填interested。
