4.Ask 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 1999and 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 areas 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 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?D
A.Using too much packaging.
B.Recycling too many wastes.
C.Making more products than necessary.
D.Having more material than is needed.
62.The author uses figures in Paragraph 2to showD.
A.the tendency of cutting household waste
B.the increase of packaging recycling
C.the rapid growth of super markets
D.the fact of packaging overuse
63.According to the text,recyclingA.
A.helps control the greenhouse effect
B.means burning packaging for energy
C.is the solution to gas shortage
D.leads to a waste of land
64.What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?C
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.
65.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A
A.Fighting wastefulness is difficult.
B.Needless material is mostly recycled.
C.People like collecting recyclable waste.
D.The author is proud of their consumer culture.

分析 本文屬于議論文閱讀,文章主要講述了人們對于過度包裝的危害的認(rèn)識以及人們對此應(yīng)有的積極態(tài)度,讓大家認(rèn)識到形勢的嚴(yán)峻和想要改變這種狀況的艱難.作者通過這篇文章呼吁我們回收廢舊物品,保護環(huán)境.

解答 61.D  詞義猜測題.根據(jù)第一段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.可知我們正在處理的結(jié)果是過度消費的環(huán)保的方式,因此劃線詞語為"過度消費",故選D.
62.D  推理判斷題.根據(jù)第二段The total amount of packaging increased by 12% between 1999and 2005.可知包裝的金額從1999年到2005年增加了12%,作者使用數(shù)字的目的是為了讓讀者清楚地理解過度包裝的現(xiàn)實問題.故選D.
63.A  細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第三段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.可知包裝被燒毀會放出溫室氣體,導(dǎo)致溫室效應(yīng),而回收有助于控制溫室效應(yīng),故選A.
64.C  推理判斷題.根據(jù)第四段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.可知第四段講述了人們對于包裝不好的物品的固有認(rèn)識,人們普遍認(rèn)為包裝不好的物品質(zhì)量肯定差,然而通過包裝來判產(chǎn)品斷質(zhì)量是不恰當(dāng)?shù),故選C.
65.A:推理判斷題.根據(jù)We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture,but we have a mountain to climb.可知最后一段告訴我們與消費文化的浪費斗爭是困難的,故選A.

點評 做閱讀理解時要快速的瀏覽全文,把握文章主旨大意,帶著問題回到原文,尋找細(xì)節(jié)或概括相應(yīng)的答案,最后要理清作者寫作思路.

12.
A.Drug overuse and its consequence
    B.The problem of drug overuse in America
   C.Benefits of medicine and its wise use
                  D.Female drug overuse with reference to that of males
          E Misuse of medicine among the young generation
            F.Improper use of medicine among senior citizens
76.B
    Nowadays.millions of people misuse and even overuse pain medications and other drugs.Research by the American National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA,1999)shows that around 2% of the population over age 12were using drugs non-medically.
77.C
   NIDA views medications as a powerful force for good in the contemporary world.They reduce and remove pain for millions of people suffering from illness and disease.They make it possible for doctors to perform complicated surgery to save lives.Many people afflicted by serious medical conditions are able to control their symptoms and become active,contributing citizens.NIDA points out that most individuals who take these drags use them in a responsible.
78.A
   Nevertheless.overuse of drugs such as opioids,central nervous system (CNS) depressants and stimulants does lead to harmful reliance in some people and is therefore becoming a serious public health concern.Although this abuse affects many people worldwide,particular trends of concern to the medical profession in the US appear among older adults,teenagers arid women.
79.F
   Though it may be a surprise to many,the misuse of medications may be the most common form of drug abuse among the elderly.Dr Kenneth Schrader of Duke University,North Carolina states that although the elderly represent about 13% of the US population,those aged 65and over account for the consumption of one third of all drugs.People in this age group use medications roughly three times more than the general population and have poorer compliance with instruction for use.In another study of elderly patients admitted to treatment programs,70% were women who had overused medicines.
80.D
   Unfortunately,this trend among women does not only affect those aged over
    In general,among women and men who are using either an anti-anxiety drug or a sedative,women are twice as likely to become addicted.In addition,statistics compiled for 12-17year olds show that teenage girls are more likely than teenage boys to begin overusing psychotherapeutic medication such as painkillers,tranquillisers,stimulants and sedatives.

19.Food sometimes gets poisoned with harmful things.A person who eats such food can get an illness called food poisoning.Food poisoning is usually not serious,but some types are deadly,The symptoms of food poisoning usually begin within hours of eating the poisoned food.Fever is one of the most common symptoms.
     Certain microorganisms (微生物) cause most types of food poisoning.Bacteria and other microorganisms can poison eggs,meat,vegetables,and many other foods.After entering the body,these tiny living things release (釋放) poisons that make people sick.
      Some chemicals can also cause food poisoning.They are often added to food while it is being grown,processed,or prepaid.For example,many farmers spray chemicals on crops to kill weeds and insects.Some people may have a bad reaction to those chemicals when they eat the crops.
      Some plants and animals contain natural poisons that are harmful to people.These includecertain kinds of seafood,grains,nuts,seeds,beans,and mushrooms.
      When people handle food properly,the risk of food poisoning is very small Microorganisms multiply rapidly in dirty places and in warm temperatures.This means that people should never touch food with ditty hands or put food on unwashed surfaces.Food should be kept in a refrigerator to stop microorganisms from gnawing.Meat needs to be cooked thoroughly to kill any dangerous microorganisms.People should also wash food covered with chemicals before eating it.Finally,people should not eat raid mushrooms or other foods that grow in the wild.Some of these foods may contain natural materials that are poisonous to humans.In addition,some types of fish can be poisonous.

9.As I enter my 40s,I've noticed many of my parents'generation think social networking is something they are simply incapable of understanding.They fear that,should they try,they will somehow get it wrong; they will say the wrong thing,do the wrong thing or behave in a way that causes embarrassment.But here's the first secret of social media:Everyone feels this way.
I recently met a young actor who was complaining that her work demands that she join Microblog,but she always feels like she doesn't have anything smart to say.It's the same resistance I hear from the older generation,who,however,have somehow convinced themselves that age is the barrier,rather than the differences of individual taste.
Here's the second secret of social media:everybody uses it for more or less the same reasons.Older generations often sign up to stay in touch with children and relatives.We talk about this kind of contact like it's some old-fashioned activity,but it is exactly why younger people use social media.The truth is most people use social media to gently keep an eye on one another,to see how those they care about are doing without needing to ring them up on the phone every night.
And this is the last secret of social media:everyone gets to use it their own way.Newcomers-younger and older-who worry about"getting it right"are assuming that there's a right way to get it.But actually there isn't.Personally,I talk a lot on Microblog.And some people post nothing and they use social media everyday as readers.Social media companies would rather see people pumping their networks full of pictures and posts,but there's no rule against being a fly on the wall.It's also a fine way to engage.
We're quick to forget that the web wasn't invented by 13-year-olds; it was created by today's seniors.I'd never try forcing those with no interest on social networks to use Microblog.But don't let the talk of age divides put you off.There's nothing to stop the older generation from re-taking the network their own generation created.

47.What's the author's purpose of writing this passageD?
A.To share with us his personal experience using social media.
B.To tell us a few secrets of social media that he discovered.
C.To explain why the old generation don't use social media.
D.To relieve the old generation from fearing using social media.
48.The expression"a fly on the wall"in the 4th paragraph refers toB.
A.people who promote reading online books
B.people who only observe others'posts
C.people who cause trouble to others
D.people who post many pictures
49.According to the author,which is a reason for old people's fear using social mediaA?
A.They believe that they may fall into embarrassing situations.
B.They prefer to stay in touch with relatives in real life.
C.They have no interest in social networking.
D.They have no idea what to post online.
50.Which of the following may best describe the structure of this passageB?
