Fortunately, there is.(这样的两难境地提出了一个问题：有没有一种更负责任的处理垃圾的方式？幸运的是，有。)”及下文“O
30、ne example of this is whats often called the three Rs: reduce, reuse, recycle.(其中一个例子就是我们常说的三个R：减少，再利用，回收。)”可知，此处指垃圾处理方式。D. Living a zerowaste lifestyle is the way to go(过一种零浪费的生活方式才是正确之道)能够承接上下文。故选D。2根据上文“This linear (直线型的) model of production offered no help in the fight against global waste.(这种线性
31、的生产模式对对抗全球垃圾没有任何帮助。)”在介绍一种生产模式；根据下文“Once a products value is exhausted, the materials are recycled and returned to manufacturers.(一旦产品的价值耗尽，这些材料就会被回收并返还给制造商。)在介绍另一种模式，此处需要从一个模式到另一个模式的过渡。E. Alternatively, a circular economy was introduced(此外，还引入了循环经济)”符合语境。故选E。3此处需要一个段落的小标题，干扰项是A，但是，从分析其他三个段落小标题都是讲如何
32、处理垃圾来看，B. 4in1 Recycling Program(四合一回收计划)也是在介绍具体如何处理垃圾，适合做本段小标题。故选B。4根据上文“In 1997, Taiwan established its signature 4in1 Recycling Program, consisting of communities, government cleaning teams, recycling companies and the Recycling Fund.(1997年，台湾建立了其标志性的四合一回收计划，由社区、政府清洁团队、回收公司和回收基金组成。)及下文介绍可知，接下来开始从

38、k is the constant emphasis on the “false self”， which makes 10._it_harder to see the “true self”文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。短文介绍了在社交媒体上向陌生人寻求赞扬这一新趋势在中国年轻人中流行起来背后的原因及存在的风险。1考查名词。句意：生活压力可能很大，所以我们需要被温暖的话语包围，甚至是一些盲目的自信。作be surrounded by的宾语用名词。故填confidence。2考查时态语态。句意：最近，一种新的趋势向陌生人寻求赞扬在中国年轻人的社交媒体上流行起来；许多聊天小组已经建立，以表示对成员
39、的善意和支持。根据“has gone popular”可知此处用现在完成时，chat groups与form之间是被动关系，应该用现在完成时的被动语态，主语是chat groups，谓语动词用复数形式。故填have been formed。3考查冠词。句意：这些“需要赞扬”的聊天群是中国文化的反映，在中国，公开寻求和给予赞扬是不常见的，这导致许多人甚至向家人隐藏自己的真实情感。reflection是发音以辅音音素开头的可数名词，此处用不定冠词a表泛指。故填a。4考查副词。修饰seeking and giving praise用副词。故填openly。5考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构并结合句意可知
40、，lead与前面的句子在逻辑上是主动关系，所以此处用现在分词作结果状语，表示一种自然而然的结果。故填leading。6考查非限制性定语从句。句意：他们能感受到归属感，获得鼓励，这对他们的心理健康是有益的。此处为非限制性定语从句，关系词指代整个主句内容并在从句中作主语。故填which。7考查形容词。句意：只要人们的赞扬听起来不虚伪，我们很可能会欢迎。作sound的表语用形容词，根据空前的“doesnt”和空后的“we are likely to welcome it”可知此处表示“虚伪的”。故填insincere。8考查连词。句意：我们大多数人喜欢赞扬，因为赞扬可以振奋精神，温暖心灵，减少恐惧和自我怀疑。分析句子结构可知此处缺少连词，根据句意可知前后是因果关系，此处表示原因。故填because。9考查形容词。句意：然而，在这样的群体中，任何给予或接受赞扬的人都应该谨慎。分析句子结构可知此处缺少形容词作表语。故填cautious。10考查形式宾语。句意：最大的风险是不断强调“假自我”，这使得人们更难看到“真自我”。分析句子结构可知，此处用it作形式宾语，真正的宾语是后面的不定式。故填it。
