BAsk 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 it for carrying 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 is also applies to a wide range of consumer products, which often have far more packaging than necessary.There are signs of hope. As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realise just how much unnecessary material are collecting. We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture, but we have a mountain to climb.61. What does the underlined phrase “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.

For years people have been saying that the railways are dead. We all keep hearing that trains are slow, that they lose money, that they’re dying. But this is far from the true. In these days of expensive oil, the railways have become highly competitive with motorcars and planes. If you want to carry people or goods from place to place, they’re cheaper than planes. And they have much in common with planes. A plane goes in a straight line and so does a railway. What is more, a railway takes you from the heart of a city center. It doesn’t hold you up as a car does, in endless traffic jams. And a single train can carry goods which no plane or motorcar could ever do.Far from being dead, the railways are very much alive. Modern railway lines give you a smooth, untroubled journey. Where else can you eat well, sleep in comfort, feel safe and enjoy the scene while you are traveling at speed at the same time? And we are only at the beginning. For we have just entered the age of super-fast trains, trains traveling at 150 miles an hour and more. Soon we will be wondering why we spent so much on motorways we can’t use because we have not enough money to buy the oil and planes we can’t fly in for the same reason.1. Some people think the railways are dead for many reasons EXCEPT that ____.A. planes and motorcars have taken the place of trainsB. oil is expensive todayC. trains are slowD. railways lose money2. The writers idea seems to be that ______.A. we can do without railwaysB. trains have much in common with motorcars and planesC. motorcars and planes are not as good as trainsD. trains are as good as motorcars and planes3. According to the writer, which of the following is NOT the advantage of railways?A. It is cheaper to travel by train than by plane.B. Super-fast trains travel even faster than planes.C. The railway station is usually at the center of a city.D. A train carries more goods than a motorcar or plane does.4. The writer thinks that the railways, far from being dead, are very much alive because ___________.A. we can have a smooth and untroubled journeyB. we’ll not have enough money to fly everywhereC. we can now travel in super-fast trainsD. all of the above5. The best title for this passage may be ________.A. The Best Choice: Train, Motorcar or PlaneB. The Dying RailwaysC. Super-fast Trains in the FutureD. Not the End, But the Beginning

共用题干Natural Gas1 Natural gas is produced from reservoirs deep beneath the earth's surface. It is a fossil fuel（矿物燃 料）,meaning that it is derived from organic material buried in the earth millions of years ago.The main corn- ponent of natural gas is methane（甲烷）.2 The popularity and use of clean natural gas have increased dramatically over the past 50 years as pipeline infrastructure（基础设施）has been installed to deliver it conveniently and economically to millions of residential,commercial and industrial customers worldwide.Today,natural gas service is available in all 50 states in the U.S.,and is the leading energy choice for fueling American homes and industries.More than 65 million American homes use natural gas.In fact,natural gas is the most economical source for home energyneeds,costing one-third as much as electricity. In addition to heating homes,much of the gas used in the United States is used as a raw material to manufacture a wide variety of products,from paint,to fibers for clothing,to plastics for healthcare,computing and furnishings.Natural gas is also used in a significant number of newelectricity-generating power plants.3 Natural gas is one of the safest and cleanest fuels available. It emits（发出）less pollution than other fossil fuels sources. When natural gas is burned,it produces mostly carbon dioxide（二氧化碳）and water va- por一the same substances emitted when humans breathe.Compared with some other fossil fuels,natural gas emits the least amount of carbon dioxide into the air when combusted（燃烧）一making natural gas the clea-- nest burning fossil fuel of all.4 The United States consumes about one-third of the world's natural gas output,making it the largest gas-consuming region in the world.The U.S.Department of Energy Information Administration forecasts thatnatural gas demand will grow by more than 50 percent by 2025.5 There are huge reserves of natural gas beneath the earth's surface.The largest reserves of natural gas can be found in Russia , West and North Africa and the Middle East.
