Question

【题目】Have you ever been to Yellowstone National Park，a national park primarily in the US state of Wyoming（怀俄明州）？At Yellowstone National Park，①．When they are heated for more than a few minutes，they will break up．

In Atlanta，the USA，there is a popular restaurant which is very special．In the restaurant，waiters no longer throw uneaten food into litter cans．Instead，②．

In America，a new activity known as"zero waste"is becoming popular．It is carried out in schools，cafes，gyms，parks，restaurants and other places．"Zero waste"activity calls on people to produce less litter．It encourages people to reuse whatever they can．

Although the idea seems a little unrealistic （不现实的），it is necessary．According to a new report，American people produce the largest amount of the litter in the world．Each person produces almost 4.6pounds of litter every day．More than half of the litter which is put into landfills is harmful．Actually，this is bad for the environment．Besides this，more landfills（填埋场） are needed．

"Nobody wants to have a landfill lying near his house，"said Jon D．Johnson from the Environmental Protection Agency，which helps to carry out"zero waste"activity．"There are not enough landfills，so we can't put all our litter into them．We should try to recycle it as much as we can．"

【3】Calls on people to produce less litter and encourages people to reuse whatever they can．

【4】填埋场中有一半以上的垃圾是有害的

【5】Ways to recycle litter．

【解析】本文介绍了在美国盛行的“零垃圾”生活，这种倡议有利于改变环境，产生少的垃圾。

【1】（1）根据When they are heated for more than a few minutes，they will break up可推测，本句意思是：这儿盛食物的盘子是用一种特殊的材料制成的。故选A。（2）根据In the restaurant，waiters no longer throw uneaten food into litter cans可推测，本句意思为：相反，食物可用来制作混合肥料。故选C。

【2】Nobody wants to have a landfill lying near his house中lying有“位于”的意思。故答案为lying。

【3】根据"Zero waste"activity calls on people to produce less litter．It encourages people to reuse whatever they can可知答案。故答案为Calls on people to produce less litter and encourages people to reuse whatever they can。

【4】More than half of the litter多于一半的垃圾；put into填入，放入；harmful有害的。故答案为：填埋场中有一半以上的垃圾是有害的。

【5】这篇文章介绍了减少垃圾的方法。故答案为Ways to recycle litter。
