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
40、vironment. The UK, for example, is running out of it 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 p
41、lace. Food waste is a serious problem, too. Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need.

42、s 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 is also applied to a wide range of consumer products, which often have far more packaging than necessary. There are s
43、igns of hope. As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realize just how much unnecessary materials are collected.

B Supermarkets care more
46、about packaging. C Other products are better packaged than food. D It is improper to judge quality by packaging. 【小题 5】 What can we learn from the last paragraph A Needless material is mostly recycled. B Fighting wastefulness is difficult. C People like collecting recyclable wastes. D The author is
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
