本文介绍了回收再利用时分类很重要，且各国收集废品的方法可能不同，因此居民需要了解当地的收集方法，这样有利于高效地保护环境，同时有利于节约资源。1．解析：根据空后的consequently可知，空后讲“结果”，则空处应是讲“原因”；故G项“但是对于要回收利用的材料来说，首先它们需要找到恰当的垃圾箱”符合语境，与空后一句“因此它们才能被收集并被带到恰当的地方进行回收利用”逻辑关系紧密。故选G项。答案：G2．解析：上段讲了回收再利用和垃圾分类，本段讲的是有效的垃圾分类，故此空应填一个过渡句。A项中的effectivesorting与空后的theeffectivesorting相呼应，故选A项。答案：A3．解析：本段通过列举比利时的首都布鲁塞尔和奥地利的首都维也纳这两个城市不同的收集废品的方法以表明各国收集废品的方法可能不同，故E项“(废品)收集方法在国与国之间可能非常不同”可概括本段。故选E项。答案：E4．解析：空处为段落尾句，起总结该段内容的作用，该段讲的是(废品)收集方法在国与国之间可能非常不同，因此，居民需要了解当地的收集方法。答案：D5．解析：空前讲将可回收材料在专用的设备中进行分类，空后是说垃圾分类分人工分类和机器分类两种，故C项“这就是不同的分类技术开始起作用的地方”可以衔接前后句。故选C项。答案：CⅢ.语法填空BeijingDaxingInternationalAirport(BDIA)was1.____________(formal)openedonSept.25，2019.Locatedaround46kmsouthofTian'anmenSquare，itwasdesignedbyfamedarchitectualfirmsADPIngeniérieandZahaHadidArchitects.BDIAwaslisted2.____________thefirstofthe“sevenwondersofthemodernworldnearcompletion”bytheGuardianin2015.Thenewairportcomplex，consistingofamainterminal，asupportingservicebuildingandaparkinglot，3.____________(cover)anareaofabout1.4millionsquaremeters.Thestarfishdesignisextremelyspaceefficient，with4.____________journeyofjust600metersfromthesecuritycheckpointtothefurthestgate.5.____________couldbethemostexpectedinnovationatBDIAisitsartificialintelligence.Theairport6.____________(set)upmorethan400selfservicecheckinmachinesalready，whichcan7.____________(short)passengers'waitingtimetoabout10minutes.Travelerscanbescannedoncameras8.____________(use)facialrecognition.Counterscanbefullyautomatedtocapture(拍摄)facephotosandrelay9.____________(they)duringeachpartofthejourneythroughtheairport，includingthesecuritycheckpointandthedeparturegate.TheDaxingairport—saidtobetheworld'slargestterminalinasinglebuilding—isexpected10.____________(receive)alargeamountof170millionpassengersby2025.ItwillbecomeanewtransporthubforthegreaterBeijingTianjinHebeiregion.[语篇解读]
