【解析】

本篇文章难度适中，主要讲述循环利用的重要性，并要以科学的方法进行循环利用。包括日常生活中哪些材料可以循环利用、循环利用的标示以及循环利用的过程。

1.细节理解题。根据Recycling is when you take old things and turn them into new things“回收就是把旧的东西变成新的东西”可知，是一个让旧的东西有用的方法，故选C。

2.细节理解题。根据Only certain materials can be recycled. These include things made out of paper, metal, glass and plastic可知，文中提到了纸、金属、玻璃和塑料，并未提到橡胶，故选A。

3.细节理解题。根据Soda cans are good example. They are made out of metal. Magazines and newspaper are made out of paper. So are cereal boxes. Some bottles of juice are made out of glass可知，汽水罐就是一个很好的例子。它们是由金属制成的。杂志和报纸是用纸做的。麦片盒也是如此。有些果汁瓶是由玻璃制成的，所以汽水罐、杂志、麦片盒都可以放到循环利用的垃圾箱里，有些果汁瓶也可以，而不是所有的果汁瓶，故选D。

4.细节理解题。根据It has 3 arrows that go in a triangular( 三角形) circle. This shows that cycle(循环) continues. Items are thrown away but continue their lives as something else可知，它有三个箭头。这表明这种循环还在继续。物品会被扔掉，但它们会作为其他东西继续存在，所以三个箭头表示东西可以被回收，可以被再一次使用，故选C。
