The following paragraphs are given in a wrong order. For Questions 41-45, you are required to reorganize these paragraphs into a coherent article by choosing from the list A-G. Some of the paragraphs have been placed for you. (10 points)
A. A machine has been developed that pulps paper and then processes it into packaging, e.g. egg-boxes and cartons. This could be easily adapted for local authorities use. It would mean that people would have to separate their refuse into paper and non-paper, with a different dustbin for each. Paper is, in fact, probably the material that can be most easily recycled; and now, with massive increases in paper prices, the time has come at which collection by local authorities could be profitable.
B. Recycling of this kind is already happening with milk bottles, which are returned to the dairies, washed out, and refilled. But both glass and paper are being threatened by the growing use of plastic. More and more dairies are experimenting with plastic bottles, and it has been estimated that if all the milk bottles necessary were made of plastic, then British dairies would be producing the equivalent of enough plastic tubing to encircle the earth every five or six days!
C. The package itself is of no interest to the shopper, who usually throws it away immediately. Useless wrapping accounts for much of the refuse put out by the average London household each week. So why is it done? Some of it, like the cellophane on meat, is necessary, but most of the rest is simply competitive selling. This is absurd. Packaging is using up scarce energy and resources and messing up the environment.
D. The trouble with plastic is that it does not rot. Some environmentalists argue that the only solution to the problem of ever growing mounds of plastic containers is to do away with plastic altogether in the shops, a suggestion unacceptable to many manufacturers who say there is no alternative to their handy plastic packs.
E. Little research, however, is being carried out on the costs of alternative types of packaging. Just how possible is it, for instance, for local authorities to salvage paper, pulp it and recycle it as egg-boxes? Would it be cheaper to plant another forest? Paper is the material most used for packaging—20 million paper bags are apparently used in Great Britain each day—but very little is salvaged.
F. It is evident that more research is needed into the recovery and re-use of various materials and into the cost of collecting and recycling containers as opposed to producing new ones. Unnecessary packaging, intended to be used just once, and making things look better so that more people will buy them, is clearly becoming increasingly absurd. But it is not so much a question of doing away with packaging as using it sensibly. What is needed now is a more sophisticated approach to using scarce resources for what is, after all, a relatively unimportant function.
G. To get a chocolate out of a box requires a considerable amount of unpacking: the box has to be taken out of the paper bag in which it arrived; the cellophane wrapper has to be torn off, the lid opened and the paper removed; the chocolate itself then has to be unwrapped from its own piece of paper. But this insane amount of wrapping is not confined to luxuries. It is now becoming increasingly difficult to buy anything that is not done up in cellophane, polythene or paper.
Notes:
cellophane (包装用的)玻璃纸 do up 打包,装饰 polythene 聚乙烯
refuse n.废料,废物 mess up 弄脏,弄乱 salvage 回收利用
pulp 使…成为浆状 carton 纸板盒 encircle 环绕
mound 小丘,小堆 do away with 处理掉 as opposed to 与…对照
not so much...as 与其…倒不如…"
Order: G is the first paragraph and F is the last one.
选项
答案
A
解析
选项E中提到,"纸是包装用得最多的材料—在英国每天使用2000万个纸袋—可是回收利用的纸袋微乎其微"。A写道:"一种机器已经被研制出来用于把纸变成纸浆,然后加工成包装材料,例如:鸡蛋盒和纸板箱"。上下文逻辑联系密切。接着,A中写道:"这一点很适合于地方管辖区内的使用"。然后说明具体做法。解本题的关键是紧紧抓住贯穿前后的关键信息词:paper。
