According to him, Recycling programs offer mainly shortterm benefits to a few related groups while diverting money from real social and environmental problems. It doubles energy consumption and pollution while costing taxpayers more money than dealing with old garbage. Recycling may be the most wasteful activity in modern America. Environmental groups were quick to respond to Tierney by issuing reports detailing the benefits of recycling and showing how municipal (市政的) recycling programs reduce pollution and the use of resources while decreasing the amount of garbage and the need for landfill space — all for less, not more, than the cost of regular garbage collection and disposal(處置). But in 2002, New York City, an early municipal recycling pioneer, found that its muchpraised recycling program was losing money, so it eliminated glass and plastic recycling. According to the Mayor, the benefits of recycling plastic and glass were outweighed by the price—recycling cost twice as much as disposal. Meanwhile, low demand for the materials meant that much of it was ending up in landfills anyway. NYC closed its last landfill and brought in a more efficient system, with more famous service providers than it had used previously. The lessons learned by New York are applicable everywhere. Some early recycling programs waste resources and lead to new trash. But the situation has improved as cities have gained experience. If managed correctly, recycling programs should cost cities and taxpayers less than garbage disposal for any given amount of material. Even though the benefits of recycling over disposal are various, individuals should keep in mind that it better serves the environment to reduce and reuse materials before recycling even bees an option.（1）John Tierney thought that recycling ___________. a waste of money to a lack of employers beneficial to the environment bee popular in the future（2）What39。s the meaning of the underlined word eliminated in Paragraph 3? ....（3）What does the last paragraph imply? should make recycling an option. recycling programs are in a bad situation. should develop the awareness of resource saving. should be considered first in recycling work.（4）What can be the best title for this passage? harm of recycling recycling really beneficial? recycling work in New York City environmental protection making progress?【答案】 （1）A（2）D（3）C（4）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇議論文，自從1996年作家John Tierney說“回收是垃圾”時，關(guān)于垃圾回收的好處的討論就沒有停止過。有人認(rèn)為回收是現(xiàn)代美國最浪費(fèi)的活動，而一些環(huán)境小組還詳細(xì)列出了回收的好處，但是一些早期的回收項目也漸漸暴露出了問題。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“Recycling may be the most wasteful activity in modern America.”回收可能是現(xiàn)代美國最浪費(fèi)的一項活動，可知，他認(rèn)為回收是浪費(fèi)錢的。故選A。 （2）考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)第三段中的“According to the Mayor, the benefits of recycling plastic and glass were outweighed by the price—recycling cost twice as much as disposal.”根據(jù)市長所言，回收塑料和玻璃在價格方面超標(biāo)了回收的費(fèi)用是處理費(fèi)用的兩倍，可推知，紐約取消了回收塑料和玻璃。所以根據(jù)上下文的語境可以判斷出，劃線詞的意思為“取消”。故選D。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“Even though the benefits of recycling over disposal are various, individuals should keep in mind that it better serves the environment to reduce and reuse materials before recycling even bees an option.”盡管回收比處理的好處有很多，大家應(yīng)該記住，在回收成為一個選擇之前，減少垃圾和反復(fù)利用物品對環(huán)境是更有利的。，可推知，作者是想提醒大家要有資源節(jié)約的意識。故選C。 （4）考查主旨大意。根據(jù)第一段中的“Debates over the benefits of recycling started in 1996 when a writer called John Tierney said ‘recycling is garbage’.”自從1996年作家John
