Shredding their batteries yields “black mass”, a powder from which valuable metals such as lithium, cobalt and nickel can be recovered and reused. From next month the EU will make it harder to export this waste. The aim is to encourage more processing of black mass close to home (at the moment most is shipped to Asia). In August America, which has banned Chinese EVs but still imports lots of Chinese batteries, blocked all black-mass exports.知识点：【scrap】 /skræp/ v./n.英文释义：To scrap something means to get rid of it because it is no longer useful; as a noun, it is waste material, especially metal, that can be reused.本义：源自古诺斯语skrap（碎片、碎屑）——一堆碎料。本文特指：第一段用动词，a fast-growing number of EVs will soon be scrapped（报废）；第九段用名词/形容词，scrap copper and aluminium（废铜废铝）。同一个词，一处是动作，一处是物件；scrap a plan（废掉一个计划）是它的抽象引申。核心搭配：scrap metal（废金属）、scrap value（残值）、scrap a plan/car（废弃计划/车）、a scrap of paper（一小片纸）· A growing number of EVs will soon be scrapped. 越来越多的电动车很快就要报废。· The plant imports scrap copper and aluminium. 这家工厂进口废铜和废铝。【节目介绍】  《早安英文-每日外刊精读》，带你精读最新外刊，了解国际最热事件：分析语法结构，拆解长难句，最接地气的翻译，还有重点词汇讲解。  所有选题均来自于《经济学人》《纽约时报》《华尔街日报》《华盛顿邮报》《大西洋月刊》《科学杂志》《国家地理》等国际一线外刊。  【适合谁听】  1、关注时事热点新闻，想要学习最新最潮流英文表达的英文学习者  2、任何想通过地道英文提高听、说、读、写能力的英文学习者  3、想快速掌握表达，有出国学习和旅游计划的英语爱好者  4、参加各类英语考试的应试者（如大学英语四六级、托福雅思、考研等）  【你将获得】  1、超过1000篇外刊精读课程，拓展丰富语言表达和文化背景  2、逐词、逐句精确讲解，系统掌握英语词汇、听力、阅读和语法  3、每期内附学习笔记，包含全文注释、长难句解析、疑难语法点等，帮助扫除阅读障碍。
