we are traveling by train. out the windows, we think in the passing scene of cars on nearby highways, of children waving at a crossing, of cattle feeding on a distant hillside, of smoke pouring from a power plant, or row upon row of corn and wheat, of flat lands and valleys, of mountains and rolling hills, of city skylines and village halls.but uppermost in our minds is the final destination. on a certain day at a certain hour, we will pull into the station. bands will be playing and flags waving. once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our lives will fit together like a completed jigsaw（拼图玩具） puzzle. how restlessly we pace the aisles(通道), condemning the minutes for loitering -waiting, waiting, waiting for the station.“when we reach the station, that will be it!” we cry. “when im 38.” “when i buy a new 450sl mercdes benz!” “when i put the last kid through college.” “when i have paid off the loan!” “when i get a promotion.” “when i reach the age of retirement, i shall live happily ever after! ”sooner or later, we must realize there is no station, no one place to arrive at once and for all. the true joy of life is the trip. the station is only a dream. it constantly outdistances us.“relish(appreciate) the moment” is a good motto, actually it isnt the burdens of today that drive man mad. it is the regret over yesterday and the fear of tomorrow. regret and fear are twin thieves who rob us of today.so stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles. instead, climb more mountains, eat more ice cream, swim more rivers, watch more sunsets, laugh more and cry less. life must be lived as we go along. then the station will come soon enough.25why does the author describe the mental picture? ato lead us into a perfect world.bto let people enjoy the scenery.cto introduce an actual trip of his.dto compare it to our lifes journey.26how do people feel when theyre on their trip?apuzzled.bhappy.crelaxed.dimpatient. 27what does the

fear.cregret and fear stop us from enjoying our present life. dwere frequently challenged by the two : regret and fear.28why does the author write the passage?ato teach us a good lesson.bto tell us the right attitude to life.cto advice us to forget our worries.dto stop us wandering along the aisles.参考答案25-28 ddcb 细节理解-语意转换法

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 overconsumption 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 increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005.it now makes up a third of a typical households 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 carrying 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，a 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 it also applies 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 material are collecting. we need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture，but we have a mountain to climb.根据短文，写一篇30词左右的摘要_.根据所读短文，选出最佳答案1what does the underlined phrase “overconsumption” refer to?ausing too much packaging.brecycling too many wastes.cmaking more products than necessary.dhaving more material than is needed.2the author uses figures in paragraph 2 to show _.athe tendency of cutting household wastebthe increase of packaging recycling cthe rapid growth of super marketsdthe fact of packaging overuse3according to the text，recycling _.ahelps control the greenhouse effectbmeans burning packaging for energycis the solution to gas shortagedleads to a waste of land4what can be inferred from paragraph 4?aunpackaged products are of bad quality.bsupermarkets care more about packaging.cit is improper to judge quality by packaging.dother products are better packaged than food.5what can we learn from the last paragraph?afighting wastefulness is difficult.bneedless material is mostly recycled.cpeople like collecting recyclable waste.dthe author is proud of their consumer culture.参考答案recycling is one way to help environment，but whats most important is that we dont overconsume or pay too much attention to packaging when we are shopping.(27 words)1解析：从前句的being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need知道我们是在 “过度消费”或“过量消费”。答案：d、2解析：increased by 12%
