Question

【題目】

Trash collection is problem for Curitiba. First, the city has only one landfill. Second, its garbage trucks do not fit on some of the streets in the city's low- income（低收入）neighborhoods. Curitiba knew the solution lay in getting everyone involved（參加）.

In 1989, the city started a recycling program called Garbage That Is Not Garbage. The city set up a central recycling center for sorting（把…分類）recyclable materials, food-based and waste. Colorful cartoon characters were symbols of different kinds of recyclable materials, which could help children get to know the importance of recycling. Collection bins were the same colors as the cartoons, reinforcing（加強(qiáng)） the message. People made money by picking up the trash at these bins and taking it to the center for processing. Today, Curitiba claims to have the highest recycling rate of any city in the world.

Cmbio Verde, the Green Exchange program, and Compra do Lixo, the Buying of Garbage program, are successful recycling programs in Curitiba. They get low-income- residents（居民）to join in the city's recycling program by having them transport trash from neighborhoods that are hard for garbage trucks to reach.

Depending on what they deliver, people exchange their trash for cash, food and services. Their way of life is improved, and the city is better able to manage its trash. These programs are one way Curitiba has gotten creative as a green city. It shows how involving everyone can make green living possible.

【解析】

本文主要分析了造成庫(kù)里提巴這個(gè)城市垃圾收集問題的原因，及政府采取的有效措施。

【1】

根據(jù)上文Trash collection is problem for Curitiba First, the city has only one landfill. Second, its garbage trucks do not fit on some of the streets in the city's low- income（低收入）neighborhoods. Curitiba knew the solution lay in getting everyone involved垃圾收集是庫(kù)里蒂巴的問題，首先，城市只有一個(gè)填埋場(chǎng)。第二，它的垃圾卡車不適合在城市的低收入社區(qū)的一些街道上。庫(kù)里蒂巴知道解決辦法是讓所有人都參與進(jìn)來�？芍�第一段主要講造成庫(kù)里蒂巴垃圾收集問題的兩個(gè)原因，故答案為Reasons/The reasons/ Two reasons。

【2】

根據(jù)上文Second, its garbage trucks do not fit on some of the streets in the city's low- income（低收入）neighborhoods. 它的垃圾卡車不適合在城市的低收入社區(qū)的一些街道上�？芍�垃圾卡車不能到達(dá)這個(gè)城市的每個(gè)角落，故答案為Garbage trucks。

【3】

根據(jù)上文The city set up a central recycling center for sorting recyclable materials, food-based and waste. 該市設(shè)立了一個(gè)中央回收中心，用于把可回收材料、食品和廢物分類。本句主語(yǔ)為單數(shù)名詞The city，由謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞set up，可知此處為“set”的一般過去式，所以其被動(dòng)應(yīng)改為一般過去時(shí)的被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)：A central recycling center was set up by the city.根據(jù)句意，故答案為was set up。

【4】

根據(jù)上文They get low-income- residents（居民）to join in the city's recycling program by having them transport trash from neighborhoods that are hard for garbage trucks to reach.他們讓低收入居民加入城市的回收計(jì)劃，讓他們到垃圾車難以到達(dá)的社區(qū)運(yùn)送垃圾。故答案為transport trash。

【5】

根據(jù)上文It shows how involving everyone can make green living possible.它展示了如何讓每個(gè)人都能讓綠色生活成為可能�？芍�每個(gè)人都為綠色生活成為可能而發(fā)揮著作用。動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)make a difference/ can play a role“發(fā)揮著作用”，原句為一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)。主語(yǔ)Everyone為單數(shù)，故動(dòng)詞用三單形式，故答案為makes a difference/ can play a role。
