In 1996,John Tierney suggested in The New York Times article that“recycling is garbage”.He wrote,“The money spent on recycling programs should have been spent on real social and environmental problems.Recycling programs not only increase energy use and pollution,but also cost more money than the disposal(处理) of plain old garbage.Recycling may be the most wasteful activity in modern America.”
Environmental groups were quick to express their disagreement.They wrote reports on how recycling programs in cities can reduce pollution and cost less than regular garbage pickup and disposal.Michael Shapiro,an official of the US Environmental Protection Agency(EPA),said that “recycling can be good value for money,although there’s still room for improvements”.
But in 2002,New York City,a pioneer of recycling,found that its recycling program was losing money,so it stopped glass and plastic recycling.Other major cities watched closely to see how New York was dealing with its remaining program(the city never stopped paper recycling).But then it closed its last landfill(垃圾填埋地),and private companies out of New York raised prices due to the increased workload of carrying away and disposing New York’s garbage.As a result,glass and plastic recycling became profitable for the city again,and New York brought the program back.According to Cecil Adams of The Chicago Reader,the lessons learned by New York are relevant everywhere.He believes that,if managed correctly,recycling programs should cost cities less than garbage disposal.
Even though the benefits of recycling over disposal are many,keep in mind that it better serves the environment to “reduce and reuse” before recycling is even considered as a choice.
【语篇导读】有人发文认为回收再利用垃圾是一种非常浪费的行为,而有人却提出了不同的观点。
1.Why did John Tierney think “recycling is garbage”?
A.Because he didn’t like the environmental groups.
B.Because he didn’t think recycling was a new idea.
C.Because he found few people would like to recycle.
D.Because he considered recycling a wasteful activity.
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段的“Recycling programs not only increase energy use and pollution,but also cost more money...be the most wasteful activity”可知,John Tierney认为回收再利用垃圾比直接处理垃圾更浪费。
2.Which argument was put forward by the environmental groups?
A.Recycling programs save money.
B.Recycling technologies are mature.
C.Recycling programs cause pollution.
D.Recycling technologies are valueless.
答案:A
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段的第二句“They wrote reports on how recycling programs in cities can reduce pollution and cost less than regular garbage pickup and disposal”可知,环保组织认为回收再利用垃圾的成本更低。
3.Why did other cities watch closely to see how New York was doing?
A.Because New York was doing extremely well.
B.Because they felt worried about the waste of money.
C.Because they didn’t want to have a recycling program.
D.Because New York was running a new recycling program.
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。根据第三段的“But in 2002,New York City,a pioneer of recycling,found that its recycling program was losing money,so it stopped glass and plastic recycling.Other major cities watched closely to see how New York was dealing with its remaining program”可推知,因为纽约2002年在垃圾回收再利用上有亏损,所以其他城市也担心会出现同样的情况,所以就密切关注纽约的动态。
4.Which of the following would the author most probably recommend?
A.Always bring your own shopping bag when you go shopping.
B.Always put your shopping bag into the dustbin after use.
C.Never go shopping where shopping bags are offered for free.
D.Never use a shopping bag which is not recycled.
答案:A
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“keep in mind that it better serves the environment to ‘reduce and reuse’ before recycling is even considered as a choice”可知,作者所推荐的就是“减少使用和重复使用”,因此选A项。

(2015吉林长春第二次质监)
A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut.As the barber began to work,they started chatting.They talked 1. so many things and various subjects.When they 2.(final)touched on the subject of God,the barber said:“I don’t believe that God exists.”
“Why do you say that?”asked the customer.
“Well,you just have to go out in 3. street to prove that.Tell me,if God existed,would there be so many sick people?Would there be abandoned children?If God existed,there 4. be neither suffering nor pain.I can’t imagine 5.(love)a God who would allow all of these things to happen.”
The customer thought for a moment,but didn’t respond because he didn’t want to start an 6.(argue).After everything 7.(do)and just after he left the barber’s,he saw a man in the street with long dirty hair.The customer entered the barber’s again and said:“Knowing what?8. do not exist.”
“How can you say that?”asked the surprised barber.“I am here,and I am a barber.And I just 9.(work)on you!”
“No!” the customer said.“Barbers don’t exist because 10. they did,there would be no people with long dirty hair,like that man outside.”
答案与解析:
【语篇导读】本文是一个小故事,讲述的是一位男士到理发店去理发,和理发师聊起了上帝是否存在的话题。
1.about 解析:考查介词。talk about sth.“讨论某事”。
2.finally 解析:考查副词。修饰动词touched应用final的副词形式。
3.the 解析:考查冠词。in the street“在街上”。
4.would/should/could/might 解析:考查情态动词。本句是if引导的虚拟语气,与现在的事实相反,从句用一般过去时,主句应用would/could/might/should+动词原形。
5.loving 解析:考查非谓语动词。imagine doing sth.“想象做某事”。
6.argument 解析:考查名词。根据前面的不定冠词an可知,这里需要用名词形式。
7.was done 解析:考查动词的时态和语态。and连接并列成分,所以句中的两个after都引导时间状语从句;由后面的left可知,空格处应用一般过去时;又因do和everything是动宾关系,故应用被动语态。
8.Barbers 解析:考查语境理解。根据下文理发师说的话可知,这里是在说“理发师是不存在的”。
9.worked 解析:考查动词的时态。“我”刚刚给你理了头。根据just可知此处是描述过去发生的事,故应用一般过去时。
10.if 解析:考查连词。根据句中的“...they did,there would be...”等可知,because后面是与现在事实相反的虚拟语气,所填词引导虚拟条件句,所以填if。本句句意:如果理发师存在的话,就不会出现头发又长又脏的人了。
