题目内容
10.There was a time when a trip to the supermarket in the United States often ended with a seemingly simple question from the cashier:"Paper or plastic?"Well,which type of bag would you choose?While all types of bags have some influence on the environment,it has long been supposed that paper bags are kinder.They are made from a renewable source,break down easily,burn without giving off thick smoke and can be recycled.However,the producing process behind paper bags uses more energy than that of plastic ones.How can this be true?
Studies show that paper bag production requires four times as much energy as plastic bag production.And the amount of water used to make them is twenty times higher.Besides,the influence on forests is very serious.It takes about fourteen million trees to produce ten billion paper bags,which happens to be the number of bags used in the United States yearly.In terms of recycling,the idea that paper bags are more environment-friendly than plastic ones can be quickly discarded.Research shows it requires about 98% less energy to recycle plastic than it does paper.
Even though paper bags might be more harmful than plastic ones,plastic still seems to be considered by governments as the more harmful of the two.In Ireland,for example,a tax has been introduced to discourage the use of plastic bags.People have to pay 22cents for every plastic bag,and as a result,their use has dropped quickly.
There's no doubt that it makes more sense to reuse these bags.However,we don't seem to be doing that at present.That may be because they fall apart quickly.If so,cloth bags are a better choice,but still,their production also has a bad influence on the environment.So what to do?How should we answer the question of"Paper or plastic?"It seems that we first need to ask ourselves one more general question:"What can I do to help the environment?"
24.The questions in Paragraph 1are used toC.
A.express the author's doubts

D.show the kindness of the cashier
25.Compared with plastic bags,paper bagsA.

C.take more time to break down
D.have less influence on forests
26.The underlined word"discarded"in Paragraph 3probably means"B".
A.shared B.given up
C.discussed D.put forward
27.Which question does the author probably hope the cashier will ask?D
A.Paper or cloth?
B.Paper or plastic?
C.A small bag or big one?
D.A new bag or your own one?
分析 本文为环保类阅读,介绍了购物时纸袋的使用,提出问题:纸袋真的如人们想象的一样,是环境友好型吗?最后呼吁大家循环使用购物袋,保护环境.
解答 24---27 CABD
24.答案C.写作意图题.根据第二段第一句话"While all types of bags have some influence on the environment,it has long been supposed that paper bags are kinder"可知,作者提出问题是为了引出下文的讨论,纸袋真的更好吗?故选C.
25.答案A.细节理解题.根据第三段"And the amount of water used to make them is twenty times higher"可知,制作纸袋用的水是制作塑料的20倍.故先A.
26.答案B.词义猜测题.根据第三段"Research shows it requires about 98% less energy to recycle plastic than it does paper"可知,回收塑料比回收纸袋要更节约能量,故"the idea that paper bags are more environment-friendly than plastic ones"是错误的,应该放弃,选B.share分享,discuss讨论,put forward提出.
27.答案D.推理判断题.根据最后一段"There's no doubt that it makes more sense to reuse these bags"可知,作者建议人们循环使用袋子,故选D.
点评 健康环保类文章可分为三部分:第一部分一般是文章的首段,主要用来提出文章的主题,即文章想要阐述、说明的主要内容;第二部分是文章的主体,可由若干个段落组成,对文章的主题进行展开说明;第三部分是结尾段,对文章的主题进行归纳总结.这类文章多用一般现在时,而且一般多使用客观性词语表述.有时为了强调客观性,也常使用被动语态.
从近几年的考试题来看,科普环保类的文章越来越与人们的实际生活相接近.由于此类文章缺乏故事情节,很多同学对此类文章感到费解.但一般的科普类文章都是就事论事,需要逻辑推理和想象的时候较少,因此此类阅读题也没有同学们想象中的那么难,只要多加训练,就能较好地答题.
