【7】also

【解析】

本文介紹了垃圾跟蹤處理的事情，這有利于廢物管理公司節(jié)省時(shí)間和金錢，也提到我們應(yīng)該減少產(chǎn)生的垃圾數(shù)量。

【1】句意：那就是我們?nèi)拥羲�的原因�?/span>

依據(jù)前文提到“人們不喜歡垃圾”，結(jié)合本句“we throw it out”我們?nèi)拥衾�圾，可知這是人們?nèi)拥羲�的原因�?/span>That’s why…那是……的原因，故答案為why。

【2】句意：一些美國人對回收利用很感興趣，他們真的對他們的垃圾真正發(fā)生的事情感到好奇。

根據(jù)本句有實(shí)義動詞happened，可知這里要用一個(gè)副詞來修飾，前文提到對回收利用很感興趣，結(jié)合所給首字母，應(yīng)該用really“真的”。故答案為really。

【3】句意：他們變成偵探，跟著去查明記錄垃圾的變化。

根據(jù)前文他們對回收利用很感興趣，后文的"Follow that trash!"，可知一般是偵探用“follow sb” 結(jié)合所給首字母，應(yīng)該是偵探，主語是they，所以用名詞用復(fù)數(shù)形式。故答案為detectives。

【4】句意：他們從回收箱里拿出一些東西，并在上面放上電子標(biāo)簽。

依據(jù)前文的"Follow that trash!"，以及后面的“to a computer by tags”信息用電腦記錄，結(jié)合所給首字母，應(yīng)該用電子的。故答案為electronic。

【5】句意：信號將通過標(biāo)簽發(fā)送到計(jì)算機(jī)。

依據(jù)前文“在上面放上電子標(biāo)簽”，可知這些標(biāo)簽信號會發(fā)送至電腦，發(fā)送send, 這里用被動語態(tài)be sent. 故答案為sent。

【6】句意：一些垃圾被回收利用，但是大部分會進(jìn)廢物填埋地。

依據(jù)前文“They found … but some trash travelled hundreds of kilometres.”，以及本句前半句 “Some trash was recycled”與后文的“進(jìn)廢物填埋地”，構(gòu)成轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，結(jié)合所給首字母，故答案為but。

【7】句意：這些垃圾偵探說，減少我們產(chǎn)生的垃圾數(shù)量也是重要的。

根據(jù)前段說“垃圾跟蹤”對“廢物管理公司”很有幫助，“It will save them time and money.”，所以“減少我們產(chǎn)生的垃圾數(shù)量”與前面一樣“也”重要，結(jié)合所給首字母，故答案為also。
