【題目】(2011寧夏銀川二中月考)
A small town in southwest Britain is banning plastic bags in an attempt to help the environment and cut waste—a step that environmentalists believe is a first for Europe.
Shopkeepers in Modbury, population 1, 5000, agreed to stop handing out disposable plastic bags to customers on Saturday. They said paper sacks and cloth carrier bags would be offered instead.
Last month, San Francisco became the first U. S. city to ban plastic grocery bags. Internationally, laws to discourage the use of plastic bags have been passed in parts of South Africa and Ireland, where governments tax shoppers who use them or fine companies that hand them out. Bangladesh already bans them, and so do at least 30 remote Alaskan villages.
Modbury, about 225 miles southwest of London, has also declared a bag amnesty (寬限期), allowing local people to hand in plastic bags that have piled up at home. They will be sent for a recycling.
The Modbury ban was the idea of Rebecca Hosking, who saw the effect of bags on wildlife while working in the Pacific as a wildlife camerawoman. She said response in the town so far had been "really positive".
"Modbury is quite an old-fashioned town and a lot of people have wicker (柳條)baskets to go out shopping anyway," Hosking told Sky News Television.
The Worldwatch Institute, an environmental research agency, states that 100 billion plastic bags are thrown away each year in the United States alone. More than 500 billion are used yearly around the world.
【1】 What was Rebecca Hosking?
A. A lawyer. B. An environmentalist.
C. A sailor. D. A photographer.
【2】 The underlined word "disposable" in Paragraph 2 probably means ______.
A. acceptable B. valuable
C. throw-away D. long-lasting
【3】 It can be inferred from the passage that ______ .
A. most of the people in Modbury continue to use plastic bags
B. fewer and fewer plastic bags will be used in the world
C. San Francisco is the first city to ban plastic bags in the world
D. most countries in the world have passed laws to ban plastic bags
【4】 Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?
A. Environment
B. Cutting Waste
C. Effect of Plastic Bags
D. A British Town Banning Plastic Bags

【題目】There is nothing in the US quite like Black Friday. Before midnight on Thursday, in malls across the US, people start queuing up outside the locked entrances of stores, making longer and longer lines, holding coupons (優(yōu)惠券), sipping coffee and hot chocolate, rubbing their hands and stamping (跺腳) their feet for warmth, excitedly chatting, and waiting for the clerks to open the door when the time arrives.
Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, which fell on Nov 28,2014, “has become in recent decades a special American holiday”, said the International Business Times. Indeed, up to 147 million Black Friday shoppers were expected to put up with the dark of night and the elbows(手肘)of other shoppers so that they could bring home some bargains, according to the US National Retail Federation.
But why does the shopping festival have such a name?
The name was first used in Philadelphia in the 1970s. The streets and sidewalks of the city became so packed with traffic and crowds on the day after Thanksgiving Day that the local police did not look forward to it. Because of this, they called the day “Black Friday”, said The Huffington Post. However, others believe that Black Friday takes its name from the fact that because of the increase in sales on the day, shops are able for the first time in the year to move out of the “red” – that is, debt – and into the “black”, or profit. Businesses, of course, try to take advantage of this day. A decade ago, retailers (零售商) opened at 5 or 6 am. Now, many of the big stores open at midnight.
People really seem to like the whole experience of queuing up before midnight, “for it isn’t just about the bargains”, noted CNN. “For many shoppers, it’s just fun to be part of a large crowd. Those who go to the malls at midnight are driven by the same thing that makes a million people get together in Times Square each New Year’s Eve.”
【1】Which of the following statements about Black Friday is TRUE?
A.It is a special day in the US on which government hands out coupons to customers.
B.It is a shopping festival in the US that falls on the second Friday after Thanksgiving.
C.It has been a traditional American holiday since the founding of the nation.
D.It is an opportunity for Americans to get things they want at a much lower price.
【2】According to The Huffington Post, the name of “Black Friday” may be first used ______.
A.at the beginning of the 20th century in the US
B.by American people who expected to bring home bargains after Thanksgiving Day
C.by the police to show their displeasure toward heavy traffic caused by shopping crowds
D.to describe the bad weather on the day
【3】According to the article, people who queue up for Black Friday ______.
A.usually help each other to find good bargains
B.have great fun as part of the waiting crowd
C.have a lot of complaints about the service of the retail clerks
D.have to wait until 5 to 6 am to start shopping
【4】What is the article mainly about?
A.The shopping habits of Americans.
B.An introduction to the origin and influences of Black Friday.
C.Tips on how to get good bargains on Black Friday.
D.People’s mixed feelings toward Black Friday.
