2.BAsk someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling. Recycling in the home is very important of course. However, being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need. We are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way possible, but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place.The total amount of packaging increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005. It now makes up a third of a typical household’s waste in the UK. In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard.Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment. The UK, for example, is running out of it for carrying this unnecessary waste. If such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect. Recycling helps, but the process itself uses energy. The solution is not to produce such items in the first place. Food waste is a serious problem, too. Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need. However, a few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue , encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags, for example.But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. We have learned to associate packaging with quality. We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality. This is especially true of food. But is also applies to a wide range of consumer products, which often have far more packaging than necessary.There are signs of hope. As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realise just how much unnecessary material are collecting. We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture, but we have a mountain to climb.61. What does the underlined phrase “over-consumption” refer to?A. Using too much packaging.B. Recycling too many wastes.C. Making more products than necessary.D. Having more material than is needed.

  • 第12题:

    问答题
    Practice 5  A: What is important when...?  Choosing offices to rent  ●Location  ●Cost  ●Facilities  B: What is important when...?  Choosing packaging for a new product  ●Design of packaging  ●Materials used  ●Cost of packaging

    正确答案: 【参考范例】
    If you choose A:
    When choosing offices to rent, location is essential. To a certain extent, it is a symbol of a company’s status. I prefer CBD area for it is easier to communicate and exchange information with other companies in the area.
    In addition, cost is another important aspect. If the cost is too high, it will add too much burden to the company. Therefore, the company may not be able to afford it, yet reasonable cost can be considered.
    Furthermore, we should consider the facilities in the offices to be rent. Good facilities will allow employees to have a good mood and therefore work more efficiently. Before renting any offices, make sure all the facilities are in good condition.
    If you choose B:
    When choosing packaging for a new product, it is important to think about the design of it. Since the new product is unknown to people, packaging will reveal some information about the product. The style, pictures on the package should be designed according to the common taste of the target customers.
    Moreover, materials used for packaging are also very important because the right material reveals the quality of the product. Apart from that. if the new product is positioned as gift, the package should be made smart enough.
    Cost is basic matter. We sell a new product for profitability. The cost of packaging constitutes part of the cost of the product. If a product is priced higher than the potential consumers’ purchasing-power, few people will buy it.

  • 第14题:

    It is said that the public and Congressional concern about deceptive packaging rumpus started because Senator Hart discovered that the boxes of cereals consumed by him, Mrs. Hart, and their children were becoming higher and narrower, with a decline of net weight from 12 to 10 1/2 ounces, without any reduction in price. There were still twelve biscuits, but they had been reduced in size. Later, the Senator rightly complained of a store-bought pie in a handsomely illustrated box that pictured, in a single slice, almost as many cherries as there were in the whole pie.The manufacturer who increases the unit price of his product by changing his package size to lower the quantity delivered can, without undue hardship, put his product into boxes, bags, and tins that will contain even 4-ounce, 8-ounce, one-pound, two-pound quantities of breakfast foods, cake mixes, et

    C. A study of drugstore and supermarket shelves will convince any observers that all possible sizes and shapes of boxes, jars, bottles, and tins are in use at the same time, and, as the package journals show, week by week, there is never any hesitation in introducing a new size and shape of box or bottle when it aids in product differentiation. The producers of packaged products argue strongly against changing sizes of packages to contain even weights and volumes, but no one in the trade comments unfavorably on the huge costs incurred by endless changes of package sizes, materials, shape, art work, and net weights that are used for improving a product's market position.When a packaging expert explained that he was able to multiply the price of hard sweets by 2.5, from $1 to $ 2.5 by changing to a fancy jar, or that he had made a 5-ounce bottle look as though it held 8 ounces, he was in effect telling the public that packaging can be a very expensive luxury. It evidently does come high, when an average filmily pays about $ 200 a year from bottles, cans, boxes, jars and other containers, most of which can't be used for anything but stuffing the garbage can.

    46 What started the public and Congressional concern about deceptive packaging rumpus? A Consumers' complaints about the changes in package size. B Expensive packaging for poor quality products. C A Senator's discovery of the tricks in packaging. D The rise in the unit price for many products.

    47. The word "undue" (Para. 2)means___________.
