　　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 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．

　　The total amount of packaging has increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005．It now makes up a third of a typical household’s 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．Recycling 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 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 collect．We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture, but we have a mountain to climb．．What does the underlined phrase “that over-consumption” refer to?

　　A．Using too much packaging． B．Recycling too many wastes．

　　C．Making more products than necessary．

　　D．Having more material than is needed．

　　．The author uses figures in Paragraph 2 to show ___________．

　　A．the tendency of cutting household waste

　　B．the increase of packaging recycling

　　C．the rapid growth of supermarkets

　　D．the fact of packaging overuse

　　．According to the text, recycling ___________．

　　A．helps control the greenhouse effect

　　B．means burning packaging for energy

　　C．is the solution to gas shortage

　　D．leads to a waste of land

　　．What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?

　　A．Unpackaged products are of bad quality． B．Supermarkets care more about packaging．

　　C．It is improper to judge quality by packaging． D．Other products are better packaged than food．

　　．What can we learn from the last paragraph?

　　A．Fighting wastefulness is difficult． B．Needless material is mostly recycled．

　　C．People like collecting recyclable wastes． D．The author is proud of their consumer culture．

　　Tens of thousands of theatre tickets will be given away to young people next year as part of a government campaign to inspire a lifelong love for theatre.

　　The plan to offer free seats to people aged between 18 to 26—funded with £2.5 million of taxpayers’ money—was announced yesterday by Andy Burnham, the Culture Secretary. It received a cautious welcome from some in the arts world, who expressed concern that the tickets may not reach the most underprivileged.

　　The plan comes as West End theatres are enjoying record audiences, thanks largely to musicals teaming up with television talent shows. Attendances reached. 13.6 million in 2007, up 10 percent on 2006, itself a record year. Total sales were up 18 percent on 2006 to almost £470 million.

　　One theatre source criticized the Government’s priorities（优先考虑的事） in funding free tickets when pensioners were struggling to buy food and fuel, saying: “I don’t know why the Government’s wasting money on this. The Yong Vic, as The Times reported today, offers excellent performances at cheap prices.”

　　There was praise for the Government’s plan from Dominic Cooke of the Royal Court Theatre, who said: “I support any move to get young people into theatre, and especially one that aims to do it all over England, not just in London.”

　　Ninety-five publicly funded theatres could apply for funding under the two-year plan. In return, they will offer free tickets on at least one day each week to 18 to 26-year-olds, first-come, first-served. It is likely to be on Mondays, traditionally a quiet night for the theatre.

　　Mr. Burnham said: “A young person attending the theatre can find it an exciting experience, and be inspired to explore a new world. But sometimes people miss out on it because they fear it’s ‘not for them’. It’s time to change this perception.”

　　Jeremy Hunt, the Shadow Culture Secretary, said: “The real issue is not getting enthusiastic children into the theatre, but improving arts education so that more young people want to go in the first place. For too many children theatres are a no-go area.”

　　46. Critics of the plan argued that ______.

　　A. the theatres would be overcrowded

　　B. it would be a waste of money

　　C. pensioners wouldn’t get free tickets

　　D. the government wouldn’t be able to afford it

　　47. According to the supporters, the plan should ______.

　　A. benefit the television industry

　　B. focus on producing better plays

　　C. help increase the sales of tickets

　　D. involve all the young people in England

　　48. Which of the following is TRUE about the plan?

　　A. Ninety-five theatres have received funding.

　　B. Everyone will get at least one free ticket.

　　C. It may not benefit all the young people.

　　D. Free tickets are offered once every day.

　　49. We can infer from the passage that in England ______.

　　A. many plays are not for young people

　　B. many young people don’t like theatre

　　C. people know little about the plan

　　D. children used to receive good arts education

　　50. According to the passage, the issue to offer free tickets to young people seems ______.

　　A. controversial

　　B. inspiring

　　C. exciting

　　D. unreasonable

　　Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.

　　Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.

　　An apprenticeship is a form of on-the-job training that combines workplace experience and classroom learning. It can last anywhere from one to six years, but four years is typical for most. An apprentice spends the majority of the time in a workplace environment learning the practical skills of a career from a journeyman-- someone who has done the job for many years. The rest of the apprentice's time is spent in a classroom environment learning the theoretical skills the career requires. Being an apprentice is a full-time undertaking.

　　One of the advantages of apprenticeship is that it does not cost apprentices anything. The companies that hire them pay for school. What's more, it offers apprentices an "earn while you learn" opportunity. They usually start out at half the pay of a journeyman, and the pay increases gradually as they move further along in the job and studies. Near the end of the apprenticeship, their wages are usually 90 percent of what a journeyman would receive. Apprenticeship also pays off for employers. It can offer employers a pool of well-trained workers to draw from.

　　Despite the advantages, apprentices are usually required to work during the day and attend classes at night, which leaves little time for anything else. Sometimes, they might be laid off(下岗) if business for the employers is slow.

　　Once they have completed the apprenticeship and become journeymen, they receive a nationally recognized and portable certification and their pay also increases again. Some journeymen continue employment with the companies they apprenticed with; others go onto different companies or become self-employed contractors.
