Five years later the first British card appeared, and now you can buy cards in more than a hundred countries. People usually start collecting cards because they are small and light and you do not need much space for them. It is also a cheap hobby for beginners, although for some people it becomes a serious business. In Paris, for example, there is a market where you can only buy telephone cards, and some cards cost up to 4,000.The first Japanese card has a value of about 28,000. Most people only see cards with prices like these in their collectors magazine.（1）When were the first Italian telephone cards produced?（2）When were the first Italian telephone cards produced?（3）How many countries can produce telephone cards now?（4）How many countries can produce telephone cards now?（5）Where can we find a market to buy telephone cards?（6）Where can we find a market to buy telephone cards?（7）What is the price of the first Japanese telephone card?（8）What is the price of the first Japanese telephone card?（9）In which magazine do most people see cards with prices?（10）In which magazine do most people see cards with prices?23. （8分） Ask someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost mention recycling, which is the process (过程) of treating used things, such as paper or steel so that they can be used again. Recycling in the home is very important of course. However, being forced to recycle often means we already have more things than we need. We are now dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the possible greenest way, but it would be far better if we did not bring so many things home in the first place.Here is an example. In the UK, the total of packaging increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005. It now makes up a third of a households waste. In many supermarkets, foods are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard.Too much packaging causes serious environmental problems. The UK is running out of different kinds of ways for dealing with this unnecessary waste. If such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect (效果). Recycling helps, but the process itself uses energy. The best way of avoiding this problem is to stop producing such unnecessary things in the first place. Food waste is another serious problem, too. Too many supermarkets encourage customers (消费者) to buy more than they need. They seldom encourage customers to reuse their plastic bags, for example. However, a few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue.But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. We have learned to connect packaging with quality (质量). We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality. Is it true for all the products? In fact, more and more companies realized the importance of protecting the environment. They try to package what really should be packaged, including products in good quality.As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realize how many unnecessary things are being collected. We need to face the waste of our daily life. Although many people have taken action to recycle, we have a high mountain to climb.（1）What does the underlined word “over-consumption” mean?A . Making the environment green.B . Recycling as much as possible.C . Making more products than necessary.D . Having more things than being needed.（2）What is the main purpose of the second paragraph?A . To show the facts of over-used packaging.B . To talk about the possible greenest ways.C . To teach people how to do recycling at home.D . To express worries about environmental problems.（3）What can be inferred from the fourth paragraph?A . Unpackaged products are of bad quality.B . Other products are better packaged than food.C . We cant always connect quality with packaging.D . Supermarkets should care more about packaging.（4）What does the passage mainly talk about?A . Supermarkets should recycle firstB . Packaging causes serious problems.C . Needless things are mostly recycled.D . Recycling should be done in the first place.24. （12分）阅读短文,从每题所给四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项。CSteel, concrete(混凝土) and glass are the usual materials in any skyscraper. But more high buildings are now using wood.In the last four years, Australia, Norway, England and Canada have all built wooden skyscrapers. The latest one is in Sweden, a new, 19-storey wooden hotel called Sida vid Sida (Side by Side).Why are wooden skyscrapers being chosen ahead of concrete ones? Lets find out.Is it strong enough?Wood has been used in many Chinese buildings for thousands of years, but is it strong enough for skyscrapers?Theres a lot of new materials made out of wood that are able to build big buildings, material expert Dr Michael Ramage told CNN when he was interviewed.Architects (建筑师)have done thousands of experiment to make sure it is.

The examples include the rooftops of Beijings Forbidden City and some 700-year-old houses in England.Ramage also said on the internet that bamboo could be cut in special ways to make it even stronger than normal wood.Wont it catch fire?Wooden buildings sound dangerous when it comes to fire. But experts say they may be safer than concrete ones if there is a fire.Wood doesnt burn in the way the public imagines, Ramage said.
