解析 词义猜测题。由第二段画线词后的“becausethey’recollectedaltogetherinarush,onceafortnightfromoutsidepeople’shouses”可知,因为它们是两周一次从人们房子外面匆忙地全部收集起来的。由此可知,到达回收厂时是混合在一起的。jumble应该表达的是“混合在一起”。选项A正确。3.Whatmaythenewrecyclingsystembringabout?A.Theincreaseintheefficiencyofwasterecycling.B.Theconveniencetothecitizensinwastedropping.C.Theavoidanceofrubbishrelatedenvironmentalproblems.D.Thedecreaseofprofitforwasteplants.答案 A解析 推理判断题。由第二段第三句和第五句可知,新的回收系统使垃圾回收率得到提高,选项A正确。4.Whereisthistextmostlikelyfrom?A.Parents.B.Instyle.C.Fortune.D.TheNewYorkTimes.答案 D解析 文章出处题。整篇文章都是在讲述新的垃圾回收系统出色的原因和优势,是关于环保类的话题。结合选项可知,选项TheNewYorkTimes《纽约时报》属于报纸类,话题可以涵盖环保。故选项D正确。BCaliforniahaslosthalfitsbigtreessincethe1930s,accordingtoastudytobepublishedTuesday,andclimatechangeseemstobeamajorfactor(因素).Thenumberoftreeslargerthantwofeetacrosshasdeclinedby50percentonmorethan46,000squaremilesofCaliforniaforests,thenewstudyfinds.Noareawassparedorunaffected,fromthefoggynortherncoasttotheSierraNevadaMountainstotheSanGabrielsaboveLosAngeles.IntheSierrahighcountry,thenumberofbigtreeshasfallenbymorethan55percent;inpartsofsouthernCaliforniathedeclinewasnearly75percent.Manyfactorscontributedtothedecline,saidPatrickMcIntyre,anecologistwhowastheleadauthorofthestudy.Woodcutterstargetedbigtrees.Housingdevelopmentpushedintothewoods.AggressivewildfirecontrolhasleftCaliforniaforestscrowdedwithsmalltreesthatcompetewithbigtreesforresources.ButincomparingastudyofCaliforniaforestsdoneinthe1920sand1930swithanotheronebetween2001and2010,McIntyreandhiscolleaguesdocumentedawidespreaddeathofbigtrees
