题目内容
1.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 22 cents 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?"

A.Paper or cloth?

分析 本文将纸袋与塑料袋进行一系列的对比,发现纸袋并不环保.而众所周知,塑料袋对环境的危害很大.所以作者最后建议我们使用自己携带的布质的袋子,循环利用.
解答 32-35.CABD
32.C 考查推理判断.本文中第一段的问题是为了引出讨论的焦点:纸袋的使用真的比塑料袋要环保吗?故选C.
33.A 考查细节理解.根据"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"可知,制造纸袋消耗的水更多.故选A.
34.B 考查词意猜测.通过前面纸袋与塑料袋的对比发现,纸袋并不环保,所以纸袋比塑料袋更环保的想法很快就会被废弃了.所以该词的意思是"废弃".故选B.
35.D 考查推理判断.根据"cloth bags are a better choice"可知,作者建议我们自带一个布质的袋子.所以作者更希望收银员询问是否要用自带的袋子.故选D.
