29、ities as they look at alternative ways of dealing with the global garbage crisis. That problem is peculiar to fast-moving, wealthy societies, which increasingly demand more packaged goods. In New York State alone, residents have doubled their demand for packaged goods in the past thirty years. And t

30、he situation is not expected to ease, not least because of social trends. As more women transfer their production and management skills to commercial enterprises, demand for convenience products in the home continues to grow, says a report published by the Washington-based World Watch Institute. The

31、 only solution for a nation which now spends more on wrapping food than it pays farmers to produce it, is recycling on a grand scale for commercial as well as conservation reasons. The Institute wants multi-layered dustbins to be distributed to households, and people to be obliged to separate their

32、waste into four categories: organic, glass and metals; paper; plastics and miscellaneous. It also believes it can only be a matter of time before such bins have to be made compulsory.Cynthia Pollock, the author of the report, entitled “Mining Urban Wastes: The Potential for Recycling“, points out th

33、at “consumers and policy makers are just beginning to realize that there is not real away for throwaway“. Pollock believes that recycling is the only alternative. “Although household wastes are usually thrown out with little regard for their remaining value, a list of the worlds discards would revea

34、l a wealth of materials.“ And it is not just food; “Simply recovering the print run of the Sunday edition of the New York Times would leave 75,000 trees standing and reduce the energy used per ton of paper by up to three-quarters.“（分数：6.00）(1).The main reason for the garbage crisis is_. A. the doubl

35、ing of demand for goods B. the growing number of city residents C. the fact that goods move fast in industrial world D. the greatly increased use of packaged goods（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).The only solution to the rubbish problem is_. A. paying the farmers more to produce food B. large-scale recovering o

36、f packaging materials C. developing new ways of wrapping goods D. taking account of commercial and conservation issues（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).The reason why the World Watch Institute wants multi-layered dustbins to be made compulsory is_. A. to make people keep organic and inorganic waste separate B. t

37、hat they can be distributed to households C. to facilitate the recycling of rubbish D. that time may be saved in collecting rubbish（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(4).Which of the following statements Cynthia Pollock probably will agree with? A. It is wrong to throw thing away. B. We should put things away careful

38、ly rather than throw them away. C. Waste that is thrown away has not really been disposed of. D. Household wastes have little remaining value.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(5).Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? A. A lot of trees are cut down for the print run of The New York

39、Times. B. The public is now well aware of the rubbish crisis. C. The industrial society now spends more on wrapping food than it pays farmers to produce it. D. The distribution of multi-layered dustbins has yet to be made compulsory.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(6).Which of the following words is closest in mea

40、ning to “miscellaneous“ in paragraph 4? A. wood B. porcelain C. liquid D. farraginous（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.In the United States it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of call shows that t

41、he matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it is a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance. In social life,

42、time plays a very important part. In the United States, guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But this is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to

43、make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meanings of time differ in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly

44、in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S. no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour, it would be too impolite. When equals meet, a person who is five minutes late is expected to make a

45、short apology. If he is less than five minutes late, he will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence. To Americans, forty minutes of waiting is the beginning of the “insult period“. No matter what is said in apology, there is little that can remove the damage

46、 done by an hours wait. Yet in some other countries, a forty minutes waiting period was not unusual. Instead of being the very end of the allowable waiting scale, it was just the beginning. Americans look ahead and are concerned almost entirely with the future. The American idea of the future is lim

47、ited, however. It is the foreseeable future and not the future of the South Asian, which may involve centuries. Someone has said of the South Asian idea of time: “Time is like a museum with endless halls and rooms. You, the viewer, are walking through the museum in the dark, holding a light to each scene as you pa
