③根据小标题下的内容After darkness there is always light—you are reminded of this every morning, but still you often forget, and instead choose to believe that the night will last forever. It won't. Nothing lasts forever.(黑暗之后总会有光明——你每天早上都会想起这一点,但你仍然经常忘记,反而选择相信黑夜将永远持续下去。它不会。世上没有永恒的事。)可知, A项Everything in life is temporary.(生活中的一切都是暂时的。)适合作本段小标题。故选A。

四、答案:①that ②categories ③be fined ④worried ⑤a ⑥or ⑦to ⑧began ⑨to identify ⑩becoming
解析:①考查同位语从句。根据结构可知,law后面是同位语从句,用来解释“law”的具体内容,而从句中不缺少成分,所以填that。
②考查名词单复数。根据空前的“four”可以判断,用名词复数形式,所以填categories。
③考查被动语态。句意:那些不进行垃圾分类的人可能会被罚款200元。根据句意,判断此处是表示被动含义,用其被动形式,所以填be fined。
④考查词性转换。在“make+宾语+宾语补足语”结构中,应该用形容词作补语,说明宾语的状况,所以填worried。
⑤考查冠词。句意:现在,由于一些年轻程序员的努力,发现每一块生活垃圾的正确分类已经变得像拍照或用智能手机打电话那么简单。根据句意可知,此处表示“很多,大量”,应该用a number of,所以填a。
⑥考查连词。句意:现在,由于一些年轻程序员的努力,发现每一块生活垃圾的正确分类已经变得像拍照或用智能手机打电话那么简单。根据句意判断,在句中“拍照”(taking a photo)和“用智能手机打电话”(calling someone using your smartphone)两个动作之间是选择关系,所以填or。
⑦考查介词。句意:他们将语音和图像识别技术应用到应用程序和其他智能手机服务中,以指导上海居民遵守垃圾分类规定。 apply...to...“把……应用于……”,该短语是固定短语,所以填to。
⑧考查动词时态。根据时间状语“last month”判断,应该用一般过去时,谓语动词应该用过去式,所以填began。
⑨考查非谓语动词。句意:上个月开始在应用商店、即时通信工具微信和移动支付服务支付宝(Alipay)上出现的大多数应用和服务,允许用户输入垃圾名称以确定垃圾属于哪个类别。根据句意判断,空格处内容应该是表示“输入垃圾名字(type in the name of waste)”的目的,故用不定式,所以填to identify。
⑩考查非谓语动词。从结构判断,此处是“with+宾语+宾语补足语”结构,其中宾语the Chinese和动词become之间是主动关系,故用动词-ing形式,所以填becoming。
