Question

    The new garbage sorting regulation(规定) has taken effect in Shanghai July 1. Many citizens are still confused about the four different types of garbage. Thankfully, the government has released(发布) an official guideline to make the new rules clear.

The guideline, published by Shanghai provides a rather clear definition（定义） on the four kinds of waste: recyclable waste, hazardous (有害的）waste，household food waste and residual (剩余的）waste.

Specific as the new guideline is, residents still have a hard time sorting trash correctly and are finding it challenging to memorize them all. "We should do this from a pig’s angle, "commented one netizen, "Those that can be eaten by pigs are household food waste. Those even pigs don't want to eat are residual waste. If a pig consumes something and dies of it,then something must be hazardous waste. Those that can be sold to gain some money used to purchase pigs are recyclable waste."

Garbage sorting is not only beneficial to the environment and a way of handling global warming, but is also good for business and industry.It saves energy. That's because it's cheaper to recover raw materials(原材料) from recycled waste than go through the former producing processes(过程).

One resident in Switzerland once said, "If you get used to it,it becomes normal. Now I don’t think much about it. It's become an instinct. " At present, those who do not sort their trash properly will be fined RMB200, but we hope one day the environmental protection will also become our instinct soon.

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了上海的垃圾分类指南及相关规定出台后人们的反应。

1.推理判断题。根据文章第三段中“Those that can be sold to gain some money used to purchase pigs are recyclable waste.”可知，那些可以出售以获得一些用于购买猪的钱的是可回收垃圾，因此旧书应属于可回收垃圾，故选C。

2.词句猜测题。根据文章最后一段中“One resident in Switzerland once said, "If you get used to it, it becomes normal. Now I don’t think much about it. ”可知，瑞士的一位居民曾说：“如果你习惯了垃圾分类，它就会成为很正常的一件事情。现在我都不怎么去想了。”这说明垃圾分类已经成为人们生活中的一部分，人们就会觉得这是很自然的，即它已经是人们的生活习惯之一了，所以habit“习惯”最能解释换线词“instinct”。故选B。

3.细节理解题。根据文章第四段中“It saves energy. That's because it's cheaper to recover raw materials(原材料) from recycled waste than go through the former producing processes(过程).”可知，垃圾分类对工商业都有好处在于它可以节约能源，这是因为从回收的废物中回收原材料比以前的生产过程要便宜，所以为什么垃圾分类对商业和工业有益是因为它可以通过简化过程来降低成本。故选C。

4.主旨大意题。根据文章第一句话“The new garbage sorting regulation(规定) has taken effect in Shanghai July 1.”可知，新的垃圾分类条例已于七月一日在上海生效，因此本文主要介绍了上海的垃圾分类政策的出台，因此A项（上海垃圾分类条例开始实施）可以作为文章标题，故选A。
