　　今天的句子：

　　Mini-gardens are being planted around street bins in Amsterdam in an experiment to test whether they will prevent people from carelessly littering near them. The problem of litter around public bins has come to the fore during the lockdown as people working from home have ordered more takeaways, increasing the amount of bulky waste. Residents were also found to be fearful of touching the bins due to the coronavirus, and there was a higher level of absenteeism among rubbish collectors, meaning street bins were often left full.

　　思考题：

　　In Amsterdam, the problem of littering ___.

　　A.is worsened by the building of gardens

　　B.is now being addressed by takeaways.

　　C.becomes more visible for the coronavirus

　　D.is caused by striking collection workers

　　句子解析：

　　第一句：

　　Mini-gardens are being planted around street bins in Amsterdam in an experiment to test whether they will dissuade people from carelessly littering near them.

　　参考译文：阿姆斯特丹街头的垃圾箱附近正种上迷你花园，以测试它们是否能让人们不在附近乱丢垃圾。

　　第二句：

　　The problem of litter around public bins has come to the fore during the lockdown as (状语从句)people (状从主语)working from home have ordered more takeaways, increasing the amount of bulky waste.

　　参考译文：在封锁期间，由于居家办工的人们订了更多外卖，增加了大件垃圾的数量，公共垃圾箱周围的垃圾问题日益突出。

　　第三句：

　　Residents were also found to be fearful of touching the bins due to the coronavirus, and there was a higher level of absenteeism among rubbish collectors, meaning street bins were often left full.

　　参考译文：人们还发现，冠状病毒让居民害怕触摸垃圾箱，垃圾收集者的缺勤率也上升，这意味着街头垃圾箱常常是满的。

　　词汇突破：

　　carelessly littering: 随意乱扔

　　come to the fore 变得突出;变得重要;(这真的是考研大纲词汇!)

　　ordered takeaways: 点外卖

　　bulky 大件的

　　bulky waste 大件垃圾

　　absenteeism 缺勤(旷工)(这个不是大纲词汇，但是你需要知道)

　　bins were often left full.(满的)

　　直接翻译就是：常常被留的是满的;

　　通顺的含义就是：满的

　　思考题解析：

　　In Amsterdam, the problem of littering ___.

　　在阿姆斯特丹，乱扔垃圾的问题_______.

　　A.is worsened by the building of gardens

　　因为花园的修建而更严重了。

　　第一句就说了是为了改善而不是加剧。

　　所以A选项不对。

　　B.is now being addressed by takeaways.

　　正在被外卖所解决

　　外卖是在加剧!

　　所以B不对!

　　C.becomes more visible for the coronavirus

　　因为冠状病毒疫情而变得更明显

　　对应的就是我们今天考察的词组：

　　come to the fore

　　变得更加明显

　　D.is aggravated by striking collection workers

　　因为收集工人的罢工而加剧

　　这里是偷换，工人缺席不一定是罢工。

　　而且C选项是一定对的，

　　D选项顶多算可能对，所以排除!
