题目解答
答案
我们来一步一步分析这篇完形填空题,理解文章大意,并根据语法、逻辑和搭配选择合适的单词填入空白处。
文章大意:
本文讨论的是智能手机数量过多及其对环境的影响。指出目前手机的生产和废弃处理带来了环境问题,许多手机没有被回收,而手机中含有的金属资源宝贵但开采条件恶劣。如果不回收,就需要继续开采更多金属,同时废弃手机还会污染土壤和地下水。因此,我们应该认真思考如何回收旧手机。
我们逐空分析:
第1空:
It is estimated that there are now more smartphones __1__ people on the planet.
句意:据估计,现在地球上的智能手机数量比人口还多。
这里是比较结构:“more... __ than __” 表示“比……更多”。
所以应选 K. than
✅ 第1空:K. than
第2空:
The manufacture and disposal of phones are clearly environmental __2__ .
句意:手机的制造和处理显然是环境方面的____。
空格前是“environmental”(环境的),后面应接一个名词。
选项中可能的名词有:D. concerns(问题)、I. production(生产)、J. soil(土壤)、E. valuable(形容词,不合适)等。
“environmental concerns” 是固定搭配,意为“环境问题”。
✅ 第2空:D. concerns
第3空:
The US __3__ has more than a quarter of a billion phones ready to be recycled...
句意:美国______有超过两亿五千万部手机等待回收。
这里需要一个名词,表示“美国的某个整体概念”,比如“美国的库存”、“美国的总量”等。
选项中 I. production(生产)、J. soil(土壤)明显不合适。
再看:I. production 虽然是名词,但“the US production has phones...” 不通顺。
其实这里应该是“the US alone” —— “仅美国就有……”,表示强调。
“alone” 意为“单独地”,常用于“...alone has...”结构,表示“光是……就……”。
例如:China alone produces 50% of the world's steel.
所以这里应选 B. alone
句意:仅美国就有多达两亿五千万部手机等待回收。
✅ 第3空:B. alone
第4空:
...and an extra 11 million are __4__ to this figure every month.
句意:而且每个月还有额外的一千一百万部被添加到这个数字中。
“be ___ to” 是被动结构,表示“被加到……上”。
动词应为“added” —— “are added to”
✅ 第4空:H. added
第5空:
It is reported __5__ less than 20% of these phones end up actually being recycled.
句意:据报道,这些手机中不到20%最终被真正回收。
“It is reported that...” 是固定句型,表示“据报道……”
所以这里选 A. that
✅ 第5空:A. that
第6空:
The metals that are used in the __6__ of smartphones are precious resources.
句意:用于智能手机______中的金属是宝贵的资源。
空格前是“the”,后是“of smartphones”,中间应为一个名词。
“the production of smartphones” 是固定搭配,意为“智能手机的生产”。
所以选 I. production
✅ 第6空:I. production
第7空:
Some __7__ metals are often mined in extremely poor working conditions.
句意:一些______金属经常在极其恶劣的条件下被开采。
空格修饰“metals”,应为形容词。
选项中形容词有:E. valuable(宝贵的)、F. carefully(副词)、G. need(动词/名词)等。
“valuable metals” 是合理搭配,表示“有价值的金属”。
其他选项不合适。
✅ 第7空:E. valuable
第8空:
...more and more of these metals __8__ to be mined to keep up with the demand...
句意:如果不回收手机,就需要开采越来越多的这些金属以满足需求。
“need to be mined” 表示“需要被开采”。
这里缺少谓语动词,“metals need to be mined”
所以选 G. need
✅ 第8空:G. need
第9空:
...harmful elements leak into the __9__, polluting groundwater.
句意:有害元素渗入____,污染地下水。
“渗入土壤”是常见表达,应选 J. soil
“leak into the soil” 意为“渗入土壤”
✅ 第9空:J. soil
第10空:
we should think __10__ about how to recycle our old phones.
句意:我们应该______思考如何回收旧手机。
空格在“think”之后,修饰动词,应为副词。
选项中副词有:F. carefully(仔细地)
“think carefully about...” 是固定搭配,意为“认真思考……”
其他选项如 C. his(物主代词)明显不合适。
✅ 第10空:F. carefully
检查是否所有词只用一次:
使用过的选项:
- K. than ✅
- D. concerns ✅
- B. alone ✅
- H. added ✅
- A. that ✅
- I. production ✅
- E. valuable ✅
- G. need ✅
- J. soil ✅
- F. carefully ✅
共10个空,使用10个不同的词,未重复,剩余 C. his 和 L. which 未使用,符合“不可重复使用”的要求。
最终答案:
- K
- D
- B
- H
- A
- I
- E
- G
- J
- F
答案填写如下:
\boxed{1.K\ 2.D\ 3.B\ 4.H\ 5.A\ 6.I\ 7.E\ 8.G\ 9.J\ 10.F}
