Some of you might not be able to answer the questions.

If you don’t sort your rubbish .all of it will be buried(埋) together .It can take up large areas of ground that could have been used for planting trees. Shanghai is the first city to put rubbish-sorting into practice in China .Shanghai government has asked all the people who live there to sort rubbish into four groups: wet, recyclable, harmful and dry.

“Wet” rubbish is also known as “household” rubbish. It is what people produce every day after they eat or drink. “It is the thing you don’t want but pigs can eat”, Guangzhou Daily explained. Paper, metal, glass and other things that can be recused are recyclable rubbish. Harmful rubbish includes things like medicine, batteries and so on. Finally, any rubbish that is not wet, recyclable or harmful will go in the dry rubbish bin.

Many other Chinese cities, including Changsha, plan to use this method to sort their rubbish.

【解析】

本文主要讲了如何对垃圾进行分类的知识，并倡议人们尽自己的一份力量来保护环境，鼓励其他人进行垃圾分类。

1.细节理解题。根据上文Not knowing how to sort rubbish can make it harder to save energy and protect the environment. If you… planting trees. 不知道如何分类垃圾会使节能和保护环境变得更加困难。如果你不垃圾分类，所有的垃圾都会一起掩埋。它会占用大面积本可以植树的地方。可知垃圾不分类，将难以保护环境，故选B。

2.词句猜测题。根据上文“Wet” rubbish is also known as “household” rubbish . It is what people produce every day after they eat or drink. It is the thing you don’t want but pigs can eat”“湿”垃圾也被称为“家庭”垃圾。 这是人们每天吃或喝后生产的东西。这是你不想要的东西，但猪可以吃”，可知it指代上句的household” rubbish .故选B。

3.细节理解题。根据上文Paper, metal, glass and other things that can be recused are recyclable rubbish. 纸、金属、玻璃和其他可以回收的东西是可回收的垃圾。由此可知玻璃碗和旧报纸是可回收的垃圾，而面包片不是可回收的垃圾，故选C。

4.推理判断题。A.上海所有的人都知道如何分类垃圾。根据上文Shanghai government has asked all the people who live there to sort rubbish into four groups: wet, recyclable, harmful and dry. 上海政府要求所有住在那里的人把垃圾分类成四组：湿的、可回收的、有害的和干燥的。但不一定上海所有的人都知道如何分类垃圾。所以此项是否错误。B.多年前，长沙要求人们分类垃圾。根据上文Many other Chinese cities, including Changsha, plan to use this method to sort their rubbish. 包括长沙在内的许多中国城市都计划用这种方法来分类他们的垃圾。可知长沙几年前还没有要求人们垃圾分类，所以此项是否错误。C. Useless medicine is a kind of harmful rubbish.无用的药是一种有害的垃圾。根据上文Harmful rubbish includes things like medicine, batteries and so on. 有害垃圾包括药品、电池等。可知此项说法正确，故选C。

5.主旨大意题。A.垃圾是有帮助的。B.如何处理垃圾。C.不同的垃圾箱。通读全文可知，本文主要讲了如何对垃圾进行分类处理，故选B。
