第三节：阅读短文，根据其内容，补全下面表格。

(每空不超过3词) (每小题1分，满分5分) People have been using the wind’s energy for a long, long time. More than 5000 years ago, ancient Egyptians(埃及人) made boats powered by the wind. In 200 B.C, people used windmills(风车) in China.
Today, we collect the wind’s energy with the wind turbines(涡轮). A turbine is similar to a windmill. It is a very tall tower with two or three blades(叶片) at the top. The blades turn a generator(发电机) located inside the tower, which creates power.
Group of wind turbines are known as wind farms. They can be found in narrow mountain passes, and even in the ocean, where there are stronger winds. In places like the Midwest and along coasts, winds can provide cheap power. Another great advantage of wind power is that it is a clean form of energy. Wind turbines do not burn oil or coal and do not pollute the air.
But wind is not always the best kind of energy. Wind speed changes from time to time, depending on the time of day, weather and location. Wind turbines can be also dangerous for bats and birds. These animals cannot always tell how fast the blades are moving and crash into them.

If you are in shanghai and want to throw away a cup of milk tea, be careful. You need to①________ these steps: first, pull out any leftover into a wet waste bin; second, put the paper box into a recyclable waste bin; third, throw the single-use cup and straw(吸管) into a dry waste bin. Sound complex(复杂的)? You’ll have to get used to it. From July 2019, people in Shanghai were asked to throw their rubbish according to strict rules. Many other cities in China are planning to create similar rubbish-sorting(垃圾分类) rules.
Why should we sort our rubbish? The answer lies in the increasing number of waste we are producing. Chinese cities produce over 200 million tons of waste each year, according to China economic Net. Most of this waste is buried(填埋) in landfills, which may pollute water and soil. Moreover, we are running out of space for new landfills.
In fact, more than half of our waste can be recycled(循环). Recyclable rubbish can be made into new materials, while wet rubbish can be used to make gas, heat and some other things. But in order to recycle efficiently, we need to sort our rubbish.
Can’t rubbish-processing companies do the sorting job for us? They can. But that needs a lot of work and costs lots of money. Things will become much ②________ if each of us can sort our own rubbish. Besides, the work of sorting might encourage people to produce less waste. Do you still want to buy that milk tea?
