32、evisions,and 38 percent of computers.Electronics recycling is essential.Electronics are a rich source of raw materials.Internationally,only 1015 percent of the gold in ewaste is successfully recovered while the rest is lost.However,electronic waste contains precious metal evaluated to be between 40
33、and 50 times richer than ores (矿石) from the earth. Additionally,old electronic devices contain poisonous substances.Proper processing is essential to ensure that these materials are not released into the environment.How can consumers recycle their old electronic devices? The best choice is to donate

38、垃圾的回收利用很重要,下文解释说明了之所以重要的两个方面:电子垃圾含有贵金属,是一些原材料的丰富来源,此外电子垃圾含有有毒物质,处理不当会污染环境。由此可知,作者写这一段旨在说明电子垃圾的回收利用很重要。15We know from the last paragraph that consumers _.Aare more willing to donate their used equipmentBhelp Call2Recycle a lot in electronics recyclingChave a number of recycling opportunitiesDhope to
39、have more recycling programsC细节理解题。根据最后一段中的The best choice.Other recycling opportunities.Also,other programs.可知,消费者有很多回收电子垃圾的渠道。.阅读七选五(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Organizational skills are important to the success of any business.Some people are naturally organized,but
