【解析】

本文主要讲述了上海人们开始进行垃圾分类的情况。人们不分年龄和经验，都要求按照规定进行垃圾分类。人们不再谈论股票、放假和约会，都会注意垃圾分类。

1.句意：每个人都在努力学习如何分类垃圾。

Anybody任何人；Everybody每个人；Somebody某人。根据前半句，可知全部的家人都在面对同样的测试，所以每个人都要学习垃圾分类，用Everybody符合题意。故选B。

2.句意：无论他们年龄多大，经验多丰富，没有人有任何优势，有清洁女工看着那些似乎接近垃圾桶的人。

weakness弱点；problem问题；advantage优势。根据题干中“No matter how old they are, how experienced they are”可推出此处是说无论年龄多大、经验多丰富，在垃圾分类方面没有人有任何优势，都要学习如何进行垃圾分类，用advantage符合题意。故选C。

3.句意：当清洁女工问他们“你是什么垃圾？”时，有一些人叹息说做一个人真难。

difficult困难的；proud骄傲的；relaxing令人放松的。根据题干中“when the cleaning ladies ask them ‘What garbage are you?’”讲清洁女工询问“你是什么垃圾？”及下文人们专注于垃圾分类的问题，可推出此处是叹息做人真难，用difficult符合题意。故选A。

4.句意：他们非常注意垃圾分类。

on在……上；to对于；at在。根据题干中“pay full attention ____ sorting garbage”可知此处用固定搭配pay attention to doing sth.表示“注意/重视做某事”，用to符合语境。故选B。

5.句意：除了吃饭和睡觉，他们把休息时间花在寻找像“什么样的垃圾是……？”这样的问题的答案上。

recalling回顾；discovering发现；searching搜索。根据空后“for answers to the questions ____ ‘What kind of garbage is ...?’”可知此处应是说寻找问题的答案，用search for表示“寻找；搜索”。故选C。

6.句意：除了吃饭和睡觉，他们把休息时间花在寻找像“什么样的垃圾是……？”这样的问题的答案上。

like像；for为了；with和……一起。根据题干中“answers to the questions ____ ‘What kind of garbage is ...?’”可知空后问题只是一个例子，用like来列举。故选A。

7.句意：对于父母来说，回答“我从哪里来？”这个老问题总是一个很大的挑战。

request请求；challenge挑战；influence影响。根据下文“But now people in Shanghai have an easy and also modern answer”讲现在有个容易且现代的答案，“But”表示转折，由此可推出这个问题总是很难回答，是个大挑战，用challenge符合题意。故选B。

8.句意：我从垃圾桶里捡了你。

packed包装；picked捡起；processed处理。根据下文“Then, was I in the dry or wet garbage can?”可知此处是说之前孩子是在垃圾桶里，由此推出是说在垃圾桶里捡的，用picked符合题意。故选B。

9.句意：当我不需要帮你做作业的时候，你就是可回收的垃圾；但当我辅导你时，你是有害垃圾！

help with在某方面帮助；compete with与……竞争；work with与……共事。根据空后“your homework”可知此处说的是大人帮助孩子做作业，用help with符合题意。故选A。

10.句意：当我不需要帮你做作业的时候，你就是可回收的垃圾；但当我辅导你时，你是有害垃圾！

uncomfortable不舒服的；harmful有害的；ugly丑陋的。根据题干中“but when I’m tutoring you”中but表示句意出现转折，此处是说需要家长辅导作业时，应是有害垃圾，用harmful符合题意。故选B。
