Bornholm is a Danish island in the southern part of the Baltic Sea. At only 588 square kilometers,  the island is home to about 40, 000 people and welcomes around 600, 000 visitors each year. The island is known for its sunny weather,  round churches and rocky sea cliffs. But soon it hopes to make history for its lack of trash (垃圾).

Bornholm’s only waste incineration (焚烧) plant is on its last legs,  so instead of replacing it,  the island has come up with another plan. “In 2032 there’ll be no more waste on Bornholm, ” the island’s waste management company announced. “All unwanted items are resources that can be recycled to the benefit of the entire community. ”

The government doesn’t yet know all the specifics of how the plan will work,  but officials have laid out a basic outline. For example,  they fancy citizens sorting waste into easily recyclable items such as metal,  plastic,  glass,  paper and cardboard,  and then plan to add new items such as fishing nets,  insulation materials and more plastics to the recycling system. Organic waste,  as well as garden and park waste,  will be changed into energy,  and the nutrient-rich waste from energy recovery will be used as fertilizer in fields,  gardens and parks on the island.

Residents will be encouraged to make use of the sharing economy,  lending and borrowing goods and services. They’ll reuse everything from furniture to children’s clothing,  and businesses will repair a large number of items from bicycles to kitchen appliances. And elementary school students will be educated as “resource heroes” with practical,  hands-on lessons about waste,  resources,  the environment and nature.

“Yet,  in the waste area we were falling behind,  so it was important for us to move ahead, ” Anne Thomas,  the deputy mayor of Bornholm,  tells National Geographic.

【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国古代水利工程都江堰的历史及其所起的作用。

1. 【解析】Built。考查非谓语动词。分析句子__________(build) over 2,  200 years ago in what is . . . engineering. . . 可知, 本句是省略句, 其逻辑主语是主句的主语this amazing engineering ______, 动词build与它是被动关系。根据时间状语“over 2,  200 years ago”推断出, 动作已发生并表被动。故要用过去分词built。故填Built。 

2. 【解析】achievement。考查名词。amazing engineering修饰名词, 在句子中作主语, 故填achievement。

3. 【解析】the。考查冠词。句意: 在古代, 都江堰现在所处的地区曾遭受了来自闽江泛滥的洪水。空后面有定语从句修饰, 此处为特指, 用定冠词the。

4. 【解析】To help。考查非谓语动词。句意: 为了帮助洪灾的受害者, 地区州长李兵和他的儿子决定找到解决的办法。本句是表示目的。故用动词不定式。故填To help。

5. 【解析】Better。考查固定搭配。根据上下文可知, 设空句与上句是递进关系。Better still, 为固定搭配, 意为“更好的是”, 所以用good的比较级better。故填Better。

6. 【解析】it。考查代词。本空指的是前面 the extra water多余的水, 水是不可数名词, 要用it, 故填it。

7. 【解析】peacefully。考查副词辨析。修饰动词live, 要用副词, 故填 peacefully。

8. 【解析】where。考查定语从句的关系词。句中的 modern dams是先行词, 空格处在后面的定语从句中作地点状语, 要用where。故填where。

9. 【解析】enabling。考查非谓语动词。enable与前面的句子是主动关系, 用动词-ing形式作结果状语。故填enabling。

10. 【解析】in。考查固定搭配。句意: 都江堰也允许水自然流经闽江, 使生态系统和鱼类和谐相处。in harmony为固定搭配, 意为“和谐无间”, 故填in。

The House of the Future

What will the house of the future be like? I think great changes will be taking place in the future houses.

Firstly,  the building materials should be improved so that the temperature inside the house can be adjusted according to the weather. Secondly, there might be a garden on the roof which can allow people to keep the house cool and grow vegetables to eat. Thirdly,  all the appliances in the house will be controlled by the computer. For example, the housewife can cook a delicious meal as she works outside.

In a word, the house of the future should be an eco-friendly and a comfortable place to live in.
