Question

    Before you throw that old cell phone in the trash，or hide it away in a drawer，think again. There are actually many ways to dispose(处理)of a mobile phone that you are no longer using. First，you should be aware that in many places，throwing away cell phones is actually illegal because the batteries—especially in very old phones—can contain poisonous metals. 1.

You certainly don’t need to pay to recycle an old cell phone. 2. This had led to many charities making a small amount of money by collecting old phones. There are large organizations that will take unwanted phones. However，you might also want to think locally.

3. And they do make a little bit on each donation. If you can’t find a large cell phone recycling program in your area，you might consider starting a small local one，perhaps for a local public schoo1. 4. As people move to bigger and better phones，or smaller and better phones，there are plenty of old cell phones just waiting for a place to land，and smart schools have provided that place.

You might also want to hang onto any accessories(配件)that you have. 5. Continuing to use accessories in good shape makes smart economic sense.

A.In fact，most companies that recycle them get paid to do so.

B.There are better places to get rid of them than your trash can.

C.Many schools and local charities now have recycling programs.

D.Local charities have contributed a lot in repairing unwanted phones.

E.Things like chargers or covers can often be used with your new phone.

F.The saying that one man’s trash is another man’s treasure certainly applies.

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。讲述了对废旧手机的循环利用，例如废旧手机应该安置在哪里、旧手机的配件可以继续使用。

1.

前文提到把废旧手机丢进垃圾堆或抽屉都是不对的，下面几段都在说应该把废旧手机放到哪里，B项“比起你的垃圾箱有更好的地方去除它们”切题，故选B。

2.

根据前一句提到的pay和后一句提到的许多慈善机构通过收集旧手机赚一些钱可知，A项“事实上，一些循环利用它们的公司会被付钱去做这些”切题，故选A。

3.

and表示并列关系，所以“And they do make a little bit on each donation”中的主语they在and前面的句子有提及。根据“对每次捐献都有一些作用”可知，they指的是后文中的recycling program，所以C项中有recycling program，切题，故选C。

4.

前文提到了“you might consider starting a small local one，perhaps for a local public schoo1”你可能考虑创建一个小的当地的机构，可能是一所当地的公共学校，可知空格处是要谈论当地学校的，且后文“As people move to bigger and better phones，or smaller and better phones，there are plenty of old cell phones just waiting for a place to land，and smart schools have provided that place”中提到，随着人们更愿意使用更大更好或是更小更好的手机，有大量旧手机等着有地方安置，而聪明的学校已经提供了这个地方，表明一些学校已经在循环利用手机方面获得优势和先机，G项“先检查一下，因为一些学校在循环利用手机方面已经占有优势”切题，故选G。

5.

前文提到“hang onto any accessories(配件)that you have”坚持想用你的一些配件，后文提到继续用完好的配件更有经济意义，所以着重点讲原有手机配件的使用，E项“像电池、手机壳之类的东西往往会用在你的新手机上”切题，故选E。
