14.Ask someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling.Recycling in the home is very important of course.However,being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need.We are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way possible,but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place.
The total amount of packaging increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005.It now makes up a third of a typical household's waste in the UK.In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard.
Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment.The UK,for example,is running out of areas for burying this unnecessary waste.If such packaging is burnt,it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect.Recycling helps,but the process itself uses energy.The solution is not to produce such items in the first place.Food waste is a serious problem,too.Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need.However,a few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue,encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags,for example.
But this is not just about supermarkets.It is about all of us.We have learned to associate packaging with quality.We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality.This is especially true of food.But it also applies to a wide range of consumer products,which often have far more packaging than necessary.
There arc signs of hope.As more of us recycle,we are beginning to realise just how much unnecessary material we are collecting.We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture,but we have a mountain to climb.

51.What does the underlined phrase"that over-consumption"refer to?D
A.Using too much packaging.
B.Recycling too many wastes.
C.Making more products than necessary.
D.Having more material than is needed.
52.The author uses figures in Paragraph 2 to showD.
A.the tendency of cutting household waste
B.the increase of packaging recycling
C.the rapid growth of supermarkets
D.the fact of packaging overuse
53.According to the text,recyclingA.
A.helps control the greenhouse effect
B.means burning packaging for energy
C.is the solution to gas shortage
D.leads to a waste of land
54.What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?C
A.Unpackaged products are of bad quality.
B.Supermarkets care more about packaging.
C.It is improper to judge quality by packaging.
D.Other products are better packaged than food.
55.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A
A.Fighting wastefulness is difficult.
B.Needless material is mostly recycled.
C.People like collecting recyclable wastes.
D.The author is proud of their consumer culture.

分析 本文屬于說(shuō)明文閱讀,作者通過(guò)這篇文章主要向我們描述了人們對(duì)于過(guò)度包裝的危害的認(rèn)識(shí)及人們應(yīng)有的積極態(tài)度,讓大家認(rèn)識(shí)到形勢(shì)的嚴(yán)峻和要想改變狀況是艱巨的.

解答 51.D.詞義猜測(cè)題.根據(jù)文中的We are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way possible,but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place.可知?jiǎng)澗部分意義應(yīng)為"過(guò)度消費(fèi)".故D正確.
52.D.推理判斷題.根據(jù)作者在文中使用的數(shù)字The total amount of packaging increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005可知,作者使用數(shù)字的目的是為了讓讀者清楚地理解過(guò)度包裝的現(xiàn)實(shí)問(wèn)題.故D正確.
53.A.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)If such packaging is burnt,it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect.Recycling helps,but the process itself uses energy.可知回收幫助控制溫室效應(yīng).故A正確.
54.C.推理判斷題.第四段We have learned to associate packaging with quality.We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality講述了人們對(duì)于包裝不好的物品的固有認(rèn)識(shí),即:人們普遍認(rèn)為包裝不好的物品質(zhì)量肯定差.故C正確.
55.A.推理判斷題.文章講述了人們對(duì)于過(guò)度包裝的危害的認(rèn)識(shí)及人們應(yīng)有的積極態(tài)度,所以最后一段給我們帶來(lái)了希望,但是最后一句we have a mountain to climb.提示我們事情不會(huì)一蹴而就.故A正確.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 考察學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力,做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時(shí)一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進(jìn)行比較,再做出正確的選擇.在做推理判斷題不要以個(gè)人的主觀想象代替文章的事實(shí),要根據(jù)文章事實(shí)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.

9.Andy rode slowly on his way to school,day-dreaming about the fishing trip that his father had promised him.He was so busy dreaming about all the fish he would catch that he was unaware of everything else around him.
He rode along until a strange sound drew him to the present.He came to a stop and looked curiously up to the heavens.What he saw shocked and terrified him.A huge swarm of bees filled the sky like a black cloud and the buzzing mass seemed to be heading angrily towards him.
With no time to waste,Andy sped off in the opposite direction,riding furiously-but without knowing how to escape the swarm.With a rapidly beating heart and his legs pumping furiously,he sped down the rough road.As the bees came closer,his panic increased.Andy knew that he was sensitive to bee stings(蜇).The last sting had landed him in hospital-and that was only one bee sting!He had been forced to stay in bed for two whole days.Suddenly,his father's words came to him."When you are in a tight situation,don't panic.Use your brain and think your way out of it."
On a nearby hill,he could see smoke waving slowly skywards from the chimney of the Nelson family home."Bees don't like smoke,"he thought."They couldn't get into the house."Andy raced towards the Nelson house,but the bees were gaining ground.Andy knew he could not reach the house in time.He estimated that the bees would catch up with him soon.
Suddenly,out of the corner of his eyes,he spotted a small dam used by Mr.Nelson to irrigate his vegetable garden.Off his bike and into the cool water he lived,disappearing below the surface and away from the savage insects.After holding his breath for as long as he could,Andy came up for air and noticed the bees had gone.Dragging himself out of the dam,he struggled up the hilly slope and rang the doorbell.Mrs.Nelson took him inside and rang his mother.
"You'll really need that fishing break to help you recover,"laughed his mother with relief."Thank goodness you didn't panic!"But Andy did not hear her.He was dreaming once again of the fish he would catch tomorrow.

4.Why did Andy fail to notice the swarm of bees earlier?D
A.He was riding to school.
B.He was listening to a strange sound.
C.He was going fishing with his father.
D.He was lost in the thought of the fishing trip.

A.They crowded like a black cloud.
B.They shocked and terrified Andy.
C.They tried to attack Andy in a mass.
D.They made Andy stay in hospital for two days.
6.How did Andy avoid the bees in the end?C
A.He rode off in the opposite direction.
B.He asked Mr.Nelson for help.
C.He hid himself under the water.
