上海市红桥区2016届高考英语完形填空和阅理暑假选练（3）
阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

Ask some one what they have done to help the environment rece ntly and they will almost
certainly mention recycling. Recycling in the home is very important of course. However,
being forced to recycle ofte n means we already have more material tha n we n eed. We
are deali ng 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 packagi ng in creased by 12% betwee n 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 packagi ng is doing serious damage to the environment. The UK, for example,
is running out of areas for bury ing this unn ecessary waste. If such packag ing is bur nt,
it gives off gree nhouse gases which go on to cause the gree nhouse effect. Recycli ng
helps, but the process itself uses en ergy. The soluti on 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, en couragi ng customers to reuse their plastic bags, for example.
But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. We have lear ned to
associate packagi ng with quality. We have lear ned to think that someth ing un packaged
is of poor quality. This is especially true of food. But it also applies to a wide
range of con sumer products, which ofte n have far more packagi ng tha n n ecessary.
There are sig ns of hope. As more of us recycle, we a re begi nning to realise just how
much unn ecessary material we are collect ing. We n eed to face the wastefu In ess of our consumer culture, but we have a mountain to climb.
2. The author uses figures in Paragraph 2 to show

A. Un packaged products are of bad quality.
B. Supermarkets care more about packagi ng.
C. It is improper to judge quality by packagi ng.
D. Other products are better packaged tha n food.
5. What can we lear n from the last paragraph?

B. Needless material is mostly recycled.
C. People like collecti ng recyclable wastes.
