Question

【題目】 People can reduce, reuse or recycle waste instead of throwing it away. Matt and Sam decided to do an experiment to see how much waste the three R's could save.

First, they collected the rubbish from six classrooms at their school and then divided the rubbish into three groups:

things that were reusable, such as a pencil or a marker

things that could be recycled, such as cans, glass, or paper

things that were truly waste

Then, Matt and Sam weighed each of the three groups. They discovered that 84% of the total rubbish thrown away that day could be recycled or reused. They decided to do something about it.

Matt and Sam presented the idea of starting a recycling programme to the school leaders. Then they worked with the Student Council. They prepared brochures for the students and their families about recycling. After thinking over the possibility of the programme, the school bought colored containers for each classroom. Besides, each room received a blue container for paper and a green container for glass and cans as well as a red container for real rubbish.

Within a short time, each classroom in the school was sorting recyclable materials from rubbish before it was thrown. To check the school’s progress, Matt and Sam weighed the rubbish one more time. They collected the rubbish from the red containers from the same six classrooms as before, sorted the rubbish into three groups again and weighed each group. This time, they found that the red containers were filled with 90% real waste. Only 10% of recyclable materials had been thrown into the red containers. Matt and Sam were pleased with their efforts.

【3】C

【4】D

【解析】

這是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了Matt and Sam通過一個實驗測量了通過3 R's（減少、重復(fù)使用、回收利用）能減少多少垃圾，然后在學(xué)校推廣垃圾分類，達到了減少垃圾、節(jié)約資源的目的。

【1】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第一段“Matt and Sam decided to do an experiment to see how much waste the three R's could save.”可知，Matt and Sam做實驗的目的是為了確認(rèn)通過3 R's可以節(jié)約多少垃圾。故選D項。

【2】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第四段“They prepared brochures for the students and their families about recycling.”可知，Matt and Sam為了實施回收利用項目，為學(xué)生及其家人準(zhǔn)備了關(guān)于回收利用的宣傳手冊。故選C項。

【3】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由最后一段“they found that the red containers were filled with 90% real waste. Only 10% of recyclable materials had been thrown into the red containers.”可知，在推廣回收利用項目之后，紅色垃圾桶中有90%是完全的垃圾廢物，10%是可以回收利用的。故選C項。

【4】

推理判斷題。綜合文章內(nèi)容可知，文章主要講述了Matt and Sam通過實驗驗證3 R's的作用，然后向?qū)W校提議進行垃圾分類，最終基本成功實現(xiàn)了垃圾的正確分類，提高了垃圾的回收利用率，對環(huán)境做出了積極貢獻，可推斷他們是有責(zé)任感的人。故選D項。

本篇閱讀中較難的是第4小題。記敘文中推斷人物性格特點需要結(jié)合事件本身，或者人物說話的語氣、做出的行為的意義等等出發(fā)。如果事件具有一定的社會意義和社會影響力，就可以從社會責(zé)任感的角度出發(fā)去概括。
