For one week in May, more than 100,000 people in the UK carefully counted their plastic waste at home in a national investigation into plastic use and recycling. It was called the Big Plastic Count, run by organizations Greenpeace and Everyday Plastic.
So how did they get on, and what did they discover about their dependency on a material that has become a part of our everyday lives
Jules, 41, and her family threw away 124 pieces of plastic during their week of counting. The packaging in party bags and sticker packs for her daughter’s sixth birthday was the most upsetting, she says. She had thought her household was quite low plastic and so was “shocked” by how much they used. “It’s the hidden stuff that isn’t recyclable—like pizza wrappers—that gets you,” Jules explains.
“Every single sheet for the stickers in the party bags came individually wrapped in its own unrecyclable bag, and then they were packed together in a bigger bag,” she says.
Her children are passionate about protecting the environment but Jules says she finds it very hard as a consumer to make the right choices.
“We can only do so much. It’s in the manufacturer’s hands. The whole thing is such a juggle (杂耍).” Taylor, a 25-year-old scheduler, says of the 70 pieces of plastic he counted, it was the cucumber packaging that upset him the most. He has family who live abroad where he says it’s easy to buy fruits and vegetables without any plastic. He’d also like to see more local produce in shops direct from farmers, which would reduce the need for excessive packaging used to transport goods long distances.
“I get progressively more upset with the fact that supermarkets sell so much plastic,” he says. Even if he could find plastic-free alternatives, he says the cost is exorbitant. “The price of everything is going up, but things that are better for the environment are much more expensive,” he says.
4.What was Jules’ reaction to the plastic packaging in her house
A.Nervous B.Annoyed C.Desperate. D.Tolerant.
5.What does the underlined word “exorbitant” in the last paragraph mean
A.Flexible B.Reasonable. C.Low D.Sky-high.
6.What can we infer from the examples in the text
A.Consumers can’t control the plastic packaging.
B.Almost every family has many plastic products.
C.Taylor’s parents don’t like cucumber packaging.
D.Jules’ children like to collect plastic waste.
7.In which section of a newspaper can we read this text
A.Health. B.Business. C.Environment. D.Entertainment.

But to our surprise, the meeting went remarkably well - and all because one of them simply showed a calm maturity(成熟). He kept saying things like, “I absolutely see your point, Jeff,” and “You’re right about that. Could we consider… ” (最近,我参加了一个商务会议,两位经理针锋相对,提出了截然不同的观点。但令我们惊讶的是,会议进行得非常顺利——而这一切都是因为其中一人表现出了冷静成熟的态度。他一直在说,“我完全明白你的意思,杰夫,”和“你说得对。我们可以考虑……吗 ”)”可知,其中一人以绝对冷静的态度面对争议,所以F项“He met his colleague’s argument with absolute calm.(他以绝对冷静的态度面对同事的争论)”符合文意。故选F项。
2.空处位于段末,应是对前文的总结,根据前文“It can be so easy to compare ourselves to other people over our paychecks, the contents of our closets, relationship statuses etc. But when you realize that all that matters is you, you can’t help but just do you.(我们很容易拿自己的薪水、衣柜里的东西、关系状况等与他人比较。但当你意识到最重要的是你自己时,你就会情不自禁地做你自己)”推知,当我们意识到自己是最重要的后生活会有什么样的改变。D项“And when that happens, life gets awesome.(当这种情况发生时,生活就变得精彩了)”符合文意。故选D项。

4.空处是本段的小标题,是对本段的高度概括,根据下文“I don’t think there is anything more grown-up than taking 100 percent responsibility for your life. No excuses or exceptions - parental, governmental or otherwise. When you own your circumstances and your “stuff” you’re empowered.(我认为没有什么比对自己的生活承担百分之百的责任更成熟的了。没有借口或例外——父母的,政府的或其他的。当你拥有你的环境和你的“东西”时,你就被赋予了力量)”可知,本段说的是自己去承担责任,不要责怪他人,所以B项“Don’t blame others.(不要指责他人)”符合文意。故选B项。
5.分析设空,空处位于段首,是本段的中心句,根据后文“We can quantify our calm by our ability to “shake it off”.

When you can shake all that off and just focus on the present moment, you kind of have it figured out.(我们可以通过“摆脱冷静”的能力来量化我们的冷静。你真的可以选择让自己从任何事情中解脱出来:一句粗鲁的话,一个你不喜欢的人的不尊重,一个消极攻击的同事……无论什么。当你能摆脱所有这些,专注于当下,你就找到了答案)”可知,本段是在讲述,当能摆脱一些让自己不快的事时,就说明你成熟了,所以G项“Maturity begins when drama and dissatisfaction end.(当戏剧性事件和不满结束时,成熟就开始了)”符合文意。故选G项。

1.考查介词。句意:都江堰最初由秦国在公元前256年左右建造,作为灌溉和防洪系统,是古代工程技术的杰出典范,至今仍在使用。根据句意可知,此处表达“作为灌溉和防洪系统”之意,应填介词as意为“作为”符合题意。故填as。
2.考查动词时态和语态。句意:战国时期,岷江沿岸的居民深受洪水之苦。分析句子结构可知,本句是who引导的定语从句,主句中缺少谓语,所以trouble作主句的谓语动词,根据空后的by表“被”之意可知,此处应该用被动语态,根据时间状语During the Warring States Period,可知应该用一般过去时,主语是people,为集体名词,此处表复数。故填were troubled。
3.考查副词。句意:灌溉工程师李冰深入调查了这个问题。分析句子结构可知,空处修饰空前的动词investigated,应该用副词修饰,thorough的副词形式是thoroughly。故填thoroughly。
4.考查冠词。句意:然后他们在玉雷山上开了一条通道,让水流过。分析句子结构可知,channel意为“渠道”,为可数名词,句中用的单数,前应该用不定代词修饰,channel为辅音音素开头,应该用a。故填a。
5.考查动词时态。句意:系统建成后,再也没有发生洪水。分析句子结构可知,本句是after引导的是时间状语从句,主句缺少谓语动词,所以occur做主句谓语,描述的是过去发生的事,用一般过去时。故填occurred。
6.考查名词。句意:更重要的是,它使四川成为中国最多产的农业地区之一,因为从岷江引水可以用于灌溉。分析句子结构可知,空前是形容词agricultural,所以空处应填名词,region意为“区域”为可数名词,根据空前的one of可知,此处应该用复数形式。故填regions。
7.考查定语从句关系词。句意:如果你去都江堰,你会看到一个看起来像鱼嘴的不寻常的建筑。分析句子结构可知,空处引导定语从句,先行词是construction,在从句中作主语,应该用which或者that引导。故填which或者that。
8.考查名词。句意:这个著名的景点,鱼嘴,连同另外两个重要的部分,即飞沙岩和宝坪口,经过科学的设计,以控制全年的水流。分析句子结构可知,空前是形容词famous,所以空处应填名词,attract的名词形式是attraction,结合Yuzui可知用单数即可。故填attraction。
9.考查非谓语动词。句意:这个著名的景点,鱼嘴,连同另外两个重要的部分,即飞沙岩和宝坪口,经过科学的设计,以控制全年的水流。分析句子结构可知,此处考查固定搭配:be designed to意为“目的是”。故填to control。
10.考查非谓语动词。句意:都江堰被联合国教科文组织认定为世界遗产,2000多年来,都江堰一直在灌溉农田,同时预防洪水。分析句子结构可知,本句已有谓语动词has irrigated,所以recognize应用非谓语形式,它的逻辑主语是Dujiangyan,两者间是被动关系,应该用过去分词作状语,位于句首,首字母应大写。故填Recognized。
