Question

14．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 as possible as we can，but it would be far better if we did not bring so much material home 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 household 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 burying this unnecessary waste．If such packaging is burnt，it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect．Recycl ing 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，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 is also applied 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 realize just how much unnecessary materials are collected．We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture，but we have a mountain to climb．
32．What does the underlined phrase"that overconsumption"refer to？A

Answer 1

分析 文章講述了人們對(duì)于過(guò)度包裝的危害的認(rèn)識(shí)及人們應(yīng)有的積極態(tài)度．

解答 32．A 詞義猜測(cè)題．根據(jù)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 bring so much material home in the first place．可知?jiǎng)澗�部分意義應(yīng)為"過(guò)度消費(fèi)"，所以A項(xiàng)意義正確．
33．D 寫(xiě)作意圖題．根據(jù)作者在文中使用的數(shù)字可知，作者使用數(shù)字的目的是為了讓讀者清楚地理解過(guò)度包裝的現(xiàn)實(shí)問(wèn)題，所以D項(xiàng)正確．
34．A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)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．如果這種包裝被燒毀，它會(huì)釋放溫室氣體，從而導(dǎo)致溫室效應(yīng)．回收利用有幫助，但過(guò)程本身消耗能源．可知A項(xiàng)正確．
35．C 推理判斷題．根據(jù)句子We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality可知人們對(duì)于包裝不好的物品的固有認(rèn)識(shí)，即：人們普遍認(rèn)為包裝不好的物品質(zhì)量肯定差，所以C項(xiàng)應(yīng)為正確答案．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本篇閱讀理解，主要測(cè)試考生在閱讀基礎(chǔ)上的邏輯推理能力，要求考生根據(jù)文章所述事件的邏輯關(guān)系，對(duì)未說(shuō)明的趨勢(shì)或結(jié)局作出合理的推斷；或根據(jù)作者所闡述的觀點(diǎn)理論，對(duì)文章未涉及的現(xiàn)象、事例給以解釋．考生首先要仔細(xì)閱讀短文，完整了解信息，準(zhǔn)確把握作者觀點(diǎn)．
