Recycling Around the World

Recycling is one of the best environmental success stories of the late 20th century.But we could do more.People must not see recycling as fashionable,but essential.
The Japanese are very good at recycling because they live in a crowded country. They do not have much space.They do not want to share their limited space with rubbish.But even so,Tokyo area alone is estimated to have three million tons of leftover rubbish at present.
In 1996, the United States recycled and composted（制成肥料）57 million tons of waste (27%of the nation's solid waste).This is 57 million tons of waste which did not go into landfills and incinerators（焚化炉）.In doing this,7,000 rubbish collection programs and recycling centers helped the authorities.
In Rockford,a city in Illinois,U.S.,its officials choose one house each week and check its garbage（废物）.If the garbage does not contain an newspapers or aluminum（铝）cans,then the resident of the house gets a prize of at least$1,000.
In Japan,certain cities give children weekly supplies of tissue paper and toilet paper in exchange for a weekly collection of newspapers.
In one year Britain recycles:
——1 out of every 3 newspapers.
——1 out of every 4 glass bottles and jars（罐子）.
——1 out of every 4 items of clothing.
——1 out of every 3 aluminum drink cans.
In 1999,Hong Kong transported 1.3 million tons of waste to mainland China for recycling. Around 535,000 tons of waste was recycled in Hong Kong itself.
Over half the things we throw away could be recycled.That means we could recycle 10 times as much as we do now.
However,recycling needs a lot of organization and special equipment. Also,there is not much use for some recycled material.
选项 How much waste did the U. S.recycle in 1 996?
A:1.3 million tons.       
B:27 million tons.
C:53 million tons.       
D:57 million tons.
答案D
解析句子意思是“下面关于日本的哪一个描述是错误的”。答案是A项：他们回收了所有的垃圾。这个从常识上就是不可能的，而且文中提及：But even so, Tokyo area a-lone is estimated to have three million tons of leftover rubbish at present.
句子意思是“在1996年，美国回收了多少垃圾”。答案是5 700万吨。文中提及：In 1996, the United States recycled and composted（制成肥料）57 million tons of waste.
句子意思是“人们在哪里可以因为对垃圾回收做贡献而获得大奖”。答案是罗克福德。文中提及：In Rockford, a city in Illinois, US, its officials choose one house each week and check its garbage.If the garbage does not contain an newspapers or aluminum cans,then the resident of the house gets a prize of at least$1,000.
句子意思是“在日本，由孩子收集的报纸会……”文中提及：In Japan, certain cities give children weekly supplies of tissue paper and toilet paper in exchange for a weekly collection of newspapers.
句子意思是“关于英国的哪个描述是错误的”。这个比较容易，可以从文中的关于英国的列表中获得。In one year Britain recycles:——1 out of every 3 newspapers.——1 out of every 4 glass bottles and jars（罐子）.——1 out of every 4 items of clothing.——1 out of every 3 aluminum drink cans.注意，选项D中少了一个drink，故错误。
