25、eager to be given one of the best ones. When giving them out, the teacher took into account which pupils had been most responsible during the previous year.

Recy

38、cling 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

39、 in the first place. The total amount of packaging has increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005. It now makes up a third of a typical households 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 en

47、proud of their consumer culture. 答案： 【小题 1】 C 【小题 2】 C 【小题 3】 B 【小题 4】 D 【小题 5】 B 试题分析：文章大意：文章讲述了人们对于过度包装的危害的认识及人们应有的积极态度，让大家认识到形势的严峻和要想改变状况是艰巨的。 【小题 1】词义猜测题。根据文中的 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
