Ask someone what they have done to help the environment re cently and they will almost certainly mention recycling. Recycli ng in the home is very important of course. However, being fo rced to recycle often means we already have more material th an 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 th e first place.The total amount of packaging increased by 12% between 19 99 and 2005. It now makes up a third of a typical household’s waste in the . In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard.Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environ ment. The , for example, is running out of areas for burying thi s unnecessary waste. If such packaging is burnt, it gives off gr eenhouse 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 th em are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue, en couraging customers to reuse their plastic bags, for example. But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. W e have learned to associate packaging with quality. We have l earned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality. This is especially true of food. But it also applies to a wide ran ge of consumer products, which often have far more packagin g than necessary.There are signs of hope. As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realise just how much unnecessary material w e are collecting. We need to face the wastefulness of our con sumer culture, but we have a mountain to climb.1. What does the underlined phrase “that over-consumption” refer to?A. Using too much packaging.B. Recycling too many wastes.C. Making more products than necessary.D. Having more material than is needed.2. The author uses figures in Paragraph 2 to show .A. the tendency of cutting household wasteB. the increase of packaging recyclingC. the rapid growth of supermarketsD. the fact of packaging o veruse3. According to the text, recycling .A. helps control the greenhouse effectB. means burning packaging for energyC. is the solution to gas shortageD. leads to a waste of land4. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?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.5. What can we learn from the last paragraph?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.【参考答案】1-5 DDACA【2013界广东省汕头市质量监测试题】The speaker, a teacher from a community college, addressed a sympathetic audience. Heads nodded in agreement when h e said, "High school English teachers are not doing their jobs. " He described the inadequacies of his students, all high scho ol graduates who can use language only at a grade 9 level. I was unable to determine from his answers to my questions ho w this grade 9 level had been established.My topic is not standards nor its decline（降低）. What the speaker was really saying is that eh is no long er young; he has been teaching for sixteen years, and is able to think and speak like a mature adult.My point is that the frequent complaint of one generation abou t the one immediately following it is inevitable. It is also huma n nature to look for the reasons for our dissatisfaction. Before English became a school subject in the late nineteenth centur y, it was difficult to find the target of the blame for language d eficiencies（缺陷）. But since then, English teachers have been under const ant attack.The complainers think they have hit upon an original idea. Astheir own command of the language improves, they notice tha t young people do not have this same ability. Unaware that th eir own ability has developed through the years, they assume the new generation of young people must be hopeless in this respect. To the eyes and ears of sensitive adults the languag e of the young always seems inadequate.Since this concern about the decline and fall of the English la nguage is not perceived as a generational phenomenon but r ather as something new and peculiar to today's young people, it naturally follows that today's English teachers cannot be do ing their jobs. Otherwise, young people would not have a poor command of English.41. The speaker the author mentioned in the passage believed that ________.A. the language of the younger generation is usually inferior t o that t of the older generationB. the students had a poor command of English because they didn't work hard enoughC. he was an excellent language teacher because he had bee n teaching English for sixteen yearsD. English teachers should be held responsible for the studen ts' poor command of English【答案】D【解析】细节理解题。

Now scientists believe that global warmingaffects hibernating animals, causing them to wake upearlier. While this may seem a little concern, it isin fact a significant environmental problem. Theshortened hibernation period could actually lead tosignificant declines in the population of severalspecies.Some of the first concrete evidence of the phenomenon came from Colorado, where researchers at the Rocky Mountain Biological lab have been observing marmot(旱獭)hibernation behavior since the 1970s. In the early days of their studies, ma rmots generally hibernated several weeks into the month of May. Nowadays, however, temperatures in the area have risen by 2. 5 degrees Fahrenheit, and the marmots wake up about a month earlier.At least the marmots are still hibernating. Several other animals have not been hibernating at all recently. Brown bears in the Spanish Cantabrian Mountains did not hibernate last year. In parts of the United States, chipmunks(花鼠)also skipped the hib ernation period. The bears seem to have survived without losing many individuals. The chipmunks, however, were not so lucky. Many of the animals died of starvation during the winter.The problem with animals waking up early, or skipping hibernation altogether, lies with the creatures’ metabolism(新陈代谢). When the animals hibernate, their metabolism drops significantly. The animals’heart rate slows, and they require very little energy to live. When the animals awake from their winter slumber, their metabolism returns to normal.But while their metabolism may be as active as it was before hibernation, food sources aren’t as available as they were before. A marmot may wake up when temperatures get warmer, thinking it’s spring, but plants will not have got the amountof sun they need to signal their spring period of growth. So until the plants grow, the marmots have no reliable food source.Many scientists believe the problem will continue to get worse. In addition to changes in hibernation patterns, some believe that other animals will also begin to change their migr ation patterns or begin to give birth earlier. For many biologists, that’s a scary prospect. Terry Root, an animal expert at Stanford University, said, “I do think what we will be facing is the extinction of many species. ”【文章大意】全球变暖带来的连锁反应是多方面的, 其中之一就是导致一些冬眠动物的冬眠期缩短, 这会给这些动物带来巨大的影响。

Engineering students are supposed to be examples of practicality and rationality (理性）,but when it comes to my college education I am an idealist and a fool. In high school I wanted to be an electrical engineer and，of course，any reasonable student with my aims would have chosen a college with a large engineering department，many famous professors and lots of good labs and research equipment。

But that's not what I did.I chose to study engineering in a small liberal—arts (文科）university that doesn't even offer a major in electrical engineering. Obviously, this was not a practical choice；I came here for more noble reasons。

I wanted a broad education that would provide me with flexibility and a value system to guide me in my job. I wanted to open my eyes and expand my vision by communicating with people who weren't studying science or engineering. My parents，teachers and other adults praised me for such a wise choice. They told me I was wise and grown—up beyond my 18 years，and I believed them.I headed off to the college and sure I was going to have an advantage over those students who went to big engineering "factories" where they didn’t care if you had values or were flexible。

I received a call today asking if I would be willing to bring food toa family in need. The mother was having a major operation and would be lying down for several weeks. Of course, I resp onded with an immediate“Yes!”. As I planned the meal in my head, I reflected on how many times over the years I had bee n asked to prepare food. I have done so countless times with a very open heart.But the truly amazing thing is that I have received double over the course of my life. When my mother passed away, our hou se was filled with fresh dinners for weeks. A woman from the church of our community stepped by each evening with some food. The gift of food was hersmall way of trying to ease our pain.Later in my life, when I was on bed rest during my pregnancy with twins, women of the church againstepped in to help. They arranged babysitting for my two-year-old daughter, and brought lovely dinners to our house. Even when I was put in the hospital, my husband wo uld bring cooked meals to my hospital room. How we relied o n these dinners to feed my tired husband and young daughter !Food is all about comfort. It feeds our bodies, but it can also f eed our souls. When you hear people talking about their favo urite holidays, it usually includes their feelings connected with sharing food. I know that I will have many more opportunities i n my lifetime to prepare food for others. It is truly a gift I want t o prepare and deliver to someone in need.【文章大意】作者的母亲过世的时候, 社区教堂中的女人给她带过食物; 作者怀孕的时候, 社区教堂中的女人也同样给她带过食物, 并帮她照顾她两岁的女儿。
