His strange habit makes sense when you consider that hes an environmental scientist who studies how to reduce litter, including things that fall off garbage trucks as they drive down the road. What is even more interesting is that one of Steins jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping bag.Americans use more than 100 billion thin film plastic bags every year. So many end up in tree branches or along highways that a growing number of cities do not allow them at checkouts (收银台). The bags are prohibited in some 90 cities in California, including Los Angeles. Eyeing these headwinds,_plasticbag makers are hiring scientists like Stein to make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume.Among the bag makers arguments: many cities with bans still allow shoppers to purchase paper bags, which are easily recycled but require more energy to produce and transport. And while plastic bags may be ugly to look at, they represent a small percentage of all garbage on the ground today.The industry has also taken aim at the product that has appeared as its replacement: reusable shopping bags. The stronger a reusable bag is, the longer its life and the more plasticbag use it cancels out. However, longerlasting reusable bags often require more energy to make. One study found that a cotton bag must be used at least 131 times to be better for the planet than plastic.Environmentalists dont dispute (质疑) these points. They hope paper bags will be banned someday too and want shoppers to use the same reusable bags for years.篇章导读：本文是一篇议论文。关于塑料袋的使用一直备受争议，怎样做才能减少环境污染？1What has Steven Stein been hired to do?AHelp increase grocery sales.BRecycle the waste material.CStop things falling off trucks.DArgue for the use of plastic bags.答案：D细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句并结合第二段最后一句中的“plasticbag makers are hiring scientists like Stein to make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume”可知，塑料袋制造商雇佣Stein这样的科学家来为塑料购物袋的使用进行辩护。故选D。2What does the word “headwinds” in Paragraph 2 refer to?ABans on plastic bags.BEffects of city development.CHeadaches caused by garbage.DPlastic bags hung in trees.答案：A词义猜测题。画线词所在句上一句提到，包括洛杉矶在内的加利福尼亚州的大概90个城市，禁止使用了塑料袋。再结合画线词后的“to make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume”可推断出，此处headwinds指的是“bans on plastic bags”，即对塑料袋的禁令。故选A。3What is a disadvantage of reusable bags according to plasticbag makers?AThey are quite expensive.BReplacing them can be difficult.CThey are less strong than plastic bags.DProducing them requires more energy.答案：D细节理解题。根据倒数第二段倒数第二句可知，环保袋的一个缺点是生产它们需要更多能源。故选D。4What is the best title for the text?APlastic, Paper or NeitherBIndustry, Pollution and EnvironmentCRecycle or Throw AwayDGarbage Collection and Waste Control答案：A标题判断题。通读全文可知，文章第一、二段介绍了塑料袋的禁用及原因；第三、四段介绍了环保袋的使用及其缺点；再结合最后一段第二句可知，环境学家甚至希望某天也可以禁用纸袋。因此A项(到底是选择塑料袋，纸袋还是两者都不使用)准确地概括了文章的主题，适合作标题。故选A。概要写作阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。An average adult breathes more than 3,000 gallons of air every day. Children breathe even more. Air pollution is more harmful to the children than to the adults. Air pollution can cause breathing problems, disorders (紊乱) in the nervous system and an increased risk of cancer later in life. The American Lung Association explains why children are so affected by air pollution. Children are usually more active than adults. As a result, they breathe more rapidly and take more pollution deep into their lungs. Children also often breathe through their mouths, not through their noses. The mouth cant filter (过滤) out pollutants as well as the nose. Finally, children usually spend an average of 50 percent more time outdoors than adults, especially in summer. Air pollution is the worst in summer. In the past 30 years, programs to reduce air pollution in cities have made great progress. Most of the programs have centered on getting factories to reduce the pollution that they put into the air. New programs aim at reducing air pollution in childrens daily lives. A good example of this is a new kind of “No Smoking” law. Its goal is to reduce secondhand smokecigarette smoke in the air that others breathe in.Experts say that secondhand smoke is just as dangerous outside as inside. Over 70 cities in the United States now prohibit (禁止) smoking in public places. Several cities rule that smokers have to pay 100 to 250 dollars for their smoking in any ou
