   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 household's 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 can't always connect quality with packaging. D、Supermarkets should care more about packaging.
(4)、What does the passage mainly talk about?

A、Supermarkets should recycle first B、Packaging causes serious problems. C、Needless things are mostly recycled. D、Recycling should be done in the first place.

 阅读下列材料, 从下面每题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。

It's not easy to learn maths well. Students need to remember many formulas(公式) and do lots of maths exercises. Now, more and more students in the United Kingdom learn maths the way Chinese students do.

In 2017, a whole set of Shanghai's primary school maths textbooks, Real Shanghai Maths, went on the UK's book market. There are 36 books, including a Teacher Guide, Textbook and Pupil Pract ice Book for each grade(1-6), according to Xinhua.

The books are translated(被翻译) word- for- word from the Chinese versions(版本). The only change is the price. The Chinese yuan becomes the British pound.

This is not the first time the UK has learnt from China's months instruction(教学). Since 2014, the UK has invited many junior high school and primary school maths teachers in Shanghai to take part in the teaching in its schools. In 2015, the publishing house Collins Learning introduced the practice book One Lesson, One Exercise to Britain. There are 11 books for 11grades, from primary school to high school.

This is because the UK doesn't want its students to fall behind. In the 2012 Programme for International Student Assessment(国际学生评估项目), Shanghai students were No.1 in maths. British students, however, were No.26.

" This will help young people be prepared for further study," said Nick Gibb, minister of Britain's schools.

Taking notes(笔记) is an important part of learning. Students listen to the teacher. They write down the important things. Or they use a computer. These days, many students take a computer to class to type(打字) their notes. 

Some people think that using a computer is better. People type faster than they write. That means they can write more. If you can type fast, you can type every word the teacher says. 

Computers are becoming very common in classrooms. Almost every student in university has a computer small enough to take to class in order to type notes. Fewer students write things down. So there is a trend in schools now to spend less time on teaching kids how to write. Schools are moving away from teaching younger students how to write by hand. Many people see no need for writing by hand. 

However, studies advise that it is good to write things down. When people can't write every word, they have to think about it more. They have to pick out what is important. And the act of writing seems to help them to remember. Studies show that people who write down their notes remember the information better. A new study, done by Princeton University and University of California, found that students who took notes by hand learned more than those who used a computer. In the study, 65 university students listened to the teacher and took notes with pens or computers. Then they did tests about how well they remembered and understood the lesson. Results show that pen users do better than those who take notes with their computers.
