     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_
overconsumption 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 it 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 we are collecting. We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture, but
we have a mountain to climb. 1. What does the underlined phrase "that overconsumption" 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. 2. The author uses figures in Paragraph 2 to show________. A. the tendency of cutting household waste
B. the increase of packaging recycling
C. the rapid growth of supermarkets
D. the fact of packaging overuse3. According to the text, recycling________. 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 land4. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?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. 5. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Fighting wastefulness is difficult.  
B. Needless material is mostly recycled.  
C. People like collecting recyclable wastes.
D. The author is proud of their consumer culture.

      Football is an extremely popular sport around most of the world. However, as the same with anything
that people feel over interested in, strong feelings sometimes get out of hand. English fans have been
known for quarreling endlessly and even fighting in the stands(看台). Several violent actions in a game
between Argentina and Chile in 1964 resulted in the death of 309 people. But up until now at least, there
has been only one football war.
     The war took place between EL Salvador and Honduras, two Central American countries. The year
was 1969, and for many years the Salvador economy had been in a frightening condition: too many
people with too little land and too few jobs created a situation of terrible poverty. As a result, many poor
Salvador had been secretly crossing into Honduras looking for work, and later they formed a.strong sense that they were mistreated there. So unfriendly feelings were already very strong at the beginning of a
World Cup match between the two countries.
      The first game of the three-game play-offs was held in Honduras, and the home team got a l:0 win in
the last minute of play.  Fighting broke out afterward in the streets, and the stadium was set on fire. The
second game was played in EL Salvador, and the El Salvador team won. More violence and fire
followed. By the time the third game was played in Mexico City, one actual war appeared certain by all
means. And that is exactly what happened. Immediately after El Salvador"s close victory, armies began
marching along the border of the two countries.  Then El Salvador attacked Honduras and bombed its
airport.  The war was over in less than a week, but ill feelings between the two countries .

阅读理解     Almost every family in America or England buys at least one copy of a newspaper every day. Some
people buy as many as two or three different papers.
     Why do people read newspapers?
     Newspapers supply us with news about events in our hometowns, in our country and in other parts
of the world. Today we can read about important things that took place in foreign countries on the same
day they happened, even in countries far away. But hundreds of years ago, news of things took months
or even years to travel from one country to another. In those times, news was often passed from one
person to another andnever entirely true. Newspapers today supply us with more than just what
happened in our country or in other countries.  If we want to know what the weather will be like, we
can read the weather reports. If we want to find out what films are being shown, or what plays or
concerts we can go to we can look in the newspapers.
     In many countries people put notices in newspapers if they are trying to get a job, hunting for a house
or rooms that they can rent, or even when looking for a person who is lost.                1. This article tells us           .A. most people read newspapers

     Visitors to Britain are sometimes surprised to learn the newspapers there have such a large circulation(发行量). The Daily Mirror and the Daily Express both sell about four million copies every day. British
families generally buy a newspaper every morning and two or three on Sundays.
      Besides the national papers, there is, however, another branch of the British press which sells almost
as many copies. Local newspapers have a weekly circulation of 13 million. Almost every town and
country area has one. Nearly all of them hold their own finance(财政) and many of them are very
profitable.
      These papers are written almost entirely for readers interested in local events-births, weddings,
deaths, council(议会) meetings and sports. Editors prefer to depend on people who know the district
well. A great deal of local. news is regularly supplied by clubs and churches in the neighborhood and it
does not get out of date as quickly as national news.
     The editors must never forget that the success of any newspaper depends on advertising. They are
usually anxious to keep the good will of local businessmen for this reason. But if the newspaper is well
written and the news items have been carefully chosen to draw local readers, the businessmen are
grateful for the chance to keep their products in the public eyes.         1. Local newspapers haveA. a circulation as large as that of national newspapers
B. a daily circulation of 13 million
