There was a time when a trip to the supermarket in the United States often ended with a seemingly simple question from the cashier: “Paper or plastic?” Well, which type of bag would you choose?
While all types of bags have some influence on the environment, it has long been supposed that paper bags are kinder. They are made from a renewable source, break down easily, burn without giving off thick smoke and can be recycled. However, the producing process behind paper bags uses more energy than that of plastic ones. How can this be true?
Studies show that paper bag production requires four times as much energy as plastic bag production. And the amount of water used to make them is twenty times higher. Besides, the influence on forests is very serious. It takes about fourteen million trees to produce ten billion paper bags, which happens to be the number of bags used in the United States yearly. In terms of recycling, the idea that paper bags are more environment-friendly than plastic ones can be quickly discarded. Research shows it requires about 98% less energy to recycle plastic than it does paper.
Even though paper bags might be more harmful than plastic ones, plastic still seems to be considered by governments as the more harmful of the two. In Ireland, for example, a tax has been introduced to discourage the use of plastic bags. People have to pay 22 cents for every plastic bag, and as a result, their use has dropped quickly.
There’s no doubt that it makes more sense to reuse these bags. However, we don’t seem to be doing that at present. That may be because they fall apart quickly. If so, cloth bags are a better choice, but still, their production also has a bad influence on the environment. So what to do? How should we answer the question of “Paper or plastic?” It seems that we first need to ask ourselves one more general question: “What can I do to help the environment?”
24. The questions in Paragraph 1 are used to .
A. express the author’s doubts B. tell readers how to save money
C. introduce points for discussion D. show the kindness of the cashier
25. Compared with plastic bags, paper bags .
A. need more water to produce B. require less energy to recycle
C. take more time to break down D. have less influence on forests
26. The underlined word “discarded” in Paragraph 3 probably means “ ”.
A. shared B. given up C. discussed D. put forward
27. Which question does the author probably hope the cashier will ask?
A. Paper or cloth? B. Paper or plastic?
C. A small bag or big one? D. A new bag or your own one?
C
First lady Michelle Obama turns 50 on Friday, Jan. 17, 2014.
Michelle Obama has spent the first half-century of her life breaking barriers and checking off a series of firsts. Now, as she reaches her milestone birthday Friday, the nation will be watching to see in what other areas she will leave her mark.
Five years after moving into the White House, and without a re-election campaign to worry about, she has more room to relax in her role and, political watchers say, possibly become more vocal (声音的) on political issues in the three years left in office.
So far, critics have complained about Michelle’s silence on issues where they expected to hear her voice: Last year, at the start of her husband's second term, she disappointed advocates for tighter gun-control measures after she failed to push harder on the issue in response to the massacre (残杀) at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. She also disappointed some feminists (女权主义者) who wanted her to defend their causes instead of falling back on her self-described role as the nation’s “mom-in-chief.” Nor did she handle racial issues during her second term, as some had expected.
“The most important thing to remember is, whether you are black, white or Hispanic, you’re the first lady and the president of all the people in the United States. That’s a huge melting pot, so to reinforce (强化)that she's African American over anything else would not be wise,” said Anita McBride, who directs programming and national conferences on the legacies (遗产) of America’s first ladies and their historical influence at American University.
Valerie Jarrett, a top White House adviser and a close friend of the Obamas, said the first lady doesn't want to “spread herself too thin.”
“She really wants to have a maximum impact and to do that in fewer areas,” Jarrett told the Associated Press. “That, she said, “is better than trying to take on every single possible cause.”
But Robert Watson, a Lynn University professor, said he expects Obama to “go a little harder at issues” over the next several years. “Second-term first ladies usually feel more at ease to speak more forcefully about issues close to their heart,” he said.
Myra Gutin, a Ryder University communications professor and frequent lecturer on first ladies, said she expects Obama to continue making both of them a priority in her remaining years in the White House, given their success. Michelle launched the “Let’s Move” campaign in 2010. It in particular has gained widespread support, ranging from the National Football League to the Sesame Street franchise (特许), which even gave permission to the produce industry to use its licensed characters for free on fruits and vegetables.
“There’s no such thing as a traditional first lady, not anymore in this technology-filled world. Is Mrs. Obama cutting edge? Is she an activist? No. As first ladies go, I think she’s been politically careful because she does not want there to be a major flare-up that would require her husband to use his political capital to clean up,” she said. “But she’s not exactly just sitting in the White House pouring tea and having receptions, either.”
28.Critics were disappointed with Michelle because _______.
A.she didn’t put gun-control measures into effect
B.she failed some feminists to stand out to be a career womanC.she didn’t solve some racial problems
D.she failed to voice her opinion on some issuesAccording to the professors or advisers, which of the following statements is NOT true?
A.It’s not wise to reinforce Michelle is African American over anything else.B.It’s better for Michelle to have a maximum impact than to take on every possible cause.
C.It's expected for Michelle to go a little harder at issues.D.It’s a tradition for first ladies to stay out of political issues.
What does the underlined phrase “spread herself too thin” in Paragraph 6 mean?
A.Try to do a lot of work at the same time.
B.Get very tired.
C.Try to improve physical fitness.D.Move herself away from others.
In Paragraph 9, the campaign “Let’s Move” might be aiming to help people _______..
a. gain widespread support
b. become more physically active
c. have access to healthier foods
d. raise awareness about gun control
A.a, c B.a, bC.b, cD.c, d
D
The amount of fish caught worldwide is much larger than has been reported. And that could mean serious problems for the environment and nations that depend on fisheries.
A new estimate places the world fish catch at 109 million tons. That is 32 million tons higher than countries have been reporting yearly.
The same report notes that the world’s fish catch has been declining since the late 1990s.
Countries report their industrial catches to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization. But they do not report other kinds of fishing. These include the catches of small commercial fisheries, which are called artisanal fisheries, and fishing for recreation and individual food.
Daniel Pauly at the University of British Columbia in Canada led the study. He noted that a huge amount of some catches is thrown away.
"For example, shrimp trawlers (小虾拖捞船) retain only the shrimp and the fish that they catch – often eight to 10 times as much as the shrimp – gets thrown away."
Pauly told VOA that better estimates of the actual global catch will help ensure there will be enough fish in the future.
"...But our figures suggest that since 1996 a rapid decrease is happening. And if you project this forward you end up in a few decades having much less catch, literally no catch. So that is potentially dangerous."
Researchers also found ways of the world’s fisheries are changing. They found that fishing fleets of larger nations are catching fish in the waters of developing countries more and more.
Pauly said he was surprised by the amount of fishing done by foreign fleets in competition with local fishers.
"In West Africa, the figure that was most astonishing is the enormous role of foreign fishing – of European and Asian vessels fishing legally or illegally – and competing against local fishers. On the other hand for the U.S., Australia and some developing countries, such as the Bahamas, what was apparent is the enormous contribution of recreational fisheries, which also never get reported to the FAO."
Researchers say inaccurate data also harms the development and supervision of effective policy and management measures.
32.What is the weight of fish catch that every country has reported every year?
A. 77 million tons. B. 109 million tons. C. 32 million tons. D. 141 million tons.
33.One of the reasons that lead to the inaccurate reports about the actual global catch is that ________.
A. countries fail to report the industrial catches
B. countries fail to report the small commercial fisheries
C. countries fail to report foreign fishing
D. the amount of the global catch is too huge to estimate accurately
34.The writer takes the shrimp trawlers for example, because he wants to _______.
A. show how much fish is thrown away
B. tell us another reason that leads to the inaccurate report of the global fish catch
C. tell us how important better estimates of the actual global catch are
D. show how rapidly the global fish catch is declining
35. From the 10th to 12th paragraphs, we can judge that old ways of the world’s fisheries might be to fish _________.
A. in the local waters B. in the waters of developing countries
C. in the waters of developed countries D. both in the local waters and foreign ones
