UNIT 2 课时跟踪检测（二） 语言运用综合练 Ⅰ.阅读理解 Zea Tongeman, a 14-year-old student, who is crazy about the Internet, applied technology to create an application that encourages people to recycle while having fun. Zea was really inspired when she attended “Little Miss Geek Day”， an event that aims at making technology more accessible and appealing to young women and inspiring them to consider technology careers. Soon after, she entered “Apps for Good”， a competition that encourages students to create positive change through technology. Teaming up with her friend, Jordan Stirbu, she laid the foundations for “Jazzy Recycling”． The “Jazzy Recycling” application is designed to encourage young people to recycle more, which wins the favor of the youth. It turns waste disposal into a game and helps you find places to recycle. Then you scan what you need to recycle, share it, and get rewards such as shopping vouchers (代金券) and games to be unlocked for what you have recycled. Tapping into the teen enthusiasm for sharing every little aspect of their daily life on social media recycling efforts can be shared too as a fun game among friends, which makes more people take part in recycling activities. Zea explains why she is addicted to the Internet and how technology has changed her ideas about the future, “I used to think technology was just fixing computers and using smartphones; I have become very tired from just using what is available. I have discovered another side to it and that I can make technology of my own.” In fact, Zea Tongeman has taken the idea of recycling seriously and hopes all her fellow beings would give it a serious thought. This teen girl from the United Kingdom has made use of computer programming to create her own app that would encourage people to go recycling for a better world. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一个14岁的英国少女Zea Tongeman创建了一个把回收和享受乐趣结合在一起的应用程序，鼓励人们为创造一个更美好的世界而回收资源。 1．What is “Little Miss Geek Day” intended to do?
