Question

What do people do with their old, out of date but still useful computers? Most people don’t know how to deal with them. Many old computers are put away. Many more are simply thrown away as rubbish.
Finally, some companies are thinking of ways to bring down the number of old computers. Sony has agreed to help recycle old Sony products（產品）. Dell, Hewlett Packard and other companies now also take back some old computers of their own brands.
In some countries, laws have been passed, too. Computer companies have to pay for collecting and recycling their used products. And 70% of computer waste must be recycled. The idea behind the laws is that computer companies themselves should pay for the cost. That will encourage them to make computers which are easier and cheaper to repair and upgrade（升級）.
Yet many people are throwing away good computers, while others cannot afford them at all. Hundreds of organizations are working on this problem. They collect and repair old computers. Some also teach others how to repair computers. These repaired computers then go to schools, charities（慈善團體) or people who need them. Giving a used computer to one of these organizations can turn one person’s rubbish into someone else’s useful things and cut down waste, too.

試題分析：這篇短文主要講述的是我們該如何處理舊電腦。有些國家通過法律，讓電腦公司出錢回收舊的產品，還有些組織把舊電腦修理之后，再送給需要他們的人。
小題1:細節理解題。根據短文的第一段What do people do with their old, out of date but still useful computers? Most people don’t know how to deal with them. Many old computers are put away. Many more are simply thrown away as rubbish.可知，對于舊的、過時了的電腦，大多數人都不知道該如何處理，這樣的電腦被擱置起來，或像垃圾一樣被扔掉。A選項的賣掉和B選項的送給別人，在文中都沒有提到。故選C。
小題2:細節理解題。根據文章第二段的內容可知，在這一段中一共提到了三家電腦公司，他們是Sony、 Dell和 Hewlett Packard。故應選C。
小題3:細節理解題。根據短文第三段的內容Computer companies have to pay for collecting and recycling their used products. And 70% of computer waste must be recycled可知，在一些國家里，根據法律，電腦公司必須付錢來收集和回收他們用過的產品。故A選項與原文的意思一致。
小題4:細節理解題。根據短文最后一段They collect and repair old computers. These repaired computers then go to schools, charities（慈善團體) or people who need them可知，有些組織中的人們收集舊電腦并修理，然后把它們送給學校、慈善機構或需要他們的人。故選B。
小題5:主旨大意題。這篇短文主要講述的是如何來處理舊電腦的事，有些國家通過法律讓電腦公司付錢回收用過的產品。還有些組織中的人們把舊電腦修理了之后，再送給需要他們的人。所以整篇短文都是圍繞回收利用舊電腦展開的。故C選項回收電腦是最符合文意的。故選C。
