毁灭之路
第1部分
“今天早上,我花了40分钟去市中心。A10公路上的很多地方在施
工!”
“真的吗?我花了一个多小时。M11公路上发生了一起事故。”
你每隔多久会听到这样的对话?有多少次我们陷于交通堵塞之中?又有多少次,当我们抵达工作地点或学校时感到心力交瘁、疲惫又愤怒?对很多人来说,答案是每天。但是和真正的社会损失相比,个人的愤怒和焦虑根本不值一提。以下是一些关于英国的数据:
•在过去的20年里,道路上的汽车数量增加了25%。现在有3 200万辆汽车。
•在过去十年中,平均每年有2 500人死于交通事故。
•交通是全球变暖和气候变化的主要原因之一,因为汽车发动机会产生各类温室气体。
•每年有近3万人死于空气污染。
•多种癌症与交通污染有关。
第2部分
我们知道汽车会带来危害,但总能找到借口:“公共汽车很糟糕”;“火车总是晚点”;“我没有时间走路”。我说的也包括我自己。坦率地说,我离不开我的车。当我向一位在绿色生活组织工作的朋友询问如何放弃汽车时,她给了五条建议:
•走路。2014年,超过55%的汽车行程不到8公里。可以轻易地用走路或骑行来代替短途的开车出行。利用脚力行走可以省钱,保持健康并帮助延长寿命。经常锻炼也能降低50%患心脏病的风险!
•使用公共交通工具。一辆公共汽车最多可以乘坐90人,而乘坐小轿车这些人至少需要18辆车。有时坐公共汽车可能需要更长的时间,但那又怎样?你可以放松一下、读一本书、和别人交谈——谁知道呢?
•出发之前先想想。你真的必须去镇上另一边的那个购物中心吗?拐角处的商店怎么样?在上车之前,想想你是否真的需要去那个地方。
•共享汽车。如果不得不用车,与其他人共用一辆车。这样更便宜,也更环保。
•采取行动!我们经常觉得面对交通带来的噪音、污染和危险,自己却无能为力。其实我们可以有所为。如果你所在的那条街交通繁忙,去和邻居们谈谈,给报社写信,去市政府,申请设置限速。做你方便做的任何事情,别光坐在那里抱怨!
这些都很简单,不是吗?五种简单方法就可以改善环境。好吧,很抱歉我要结束这篇文章了,因为下午4点我得去学校接女儿。然后我得开车去超市购物,之后还得带儿子去参加一个派对。交通将会非常糟,但我能怎么办呢?

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
The population of the capital Luxembourg City doubles every working day thanks to the flood of workers, and in the morning and evening rush hours, there often comes traffic block. It's a familiar difficult problem but here they've come up with a novel solution.
From next year public transport will be free for everyone. The number of people taking the public transport is far from what is expected and so this idea has been brought up, which of course results in some argument.
素能提升
This is what's being built,a new tram (电车) system that will link trains in park-and-ride programs designed to make free public transport smooth and attractive. This is a big attempt by the Luxembourg government into whether people can be made to change the way they behave, because free public transport is great for existing commuters (往返上班者). But the question is whether drivers can be persuaded to change their cars and traffic jams for commuting on public transport.
The designer firmly believes the system is so good and effective. Everyone will want to use it. Everyone can use it, young or old, rich or poor, and everyone can say to themselves it's better to leave the car at home. But others consider it questionable.
Taxi drivers don't seem worried about trams stealing their trade. Businessmen who come here are never going to take public transport. They'll take a taxi because they have meetings to get to.
So Luxembourg's plan is really a test, and it's one that plenty of bigger nations will be watching. As we know, the way we move around shapes our cities, our lives, our work and our environment. Luxembourg is a very small country but this could be a very big idea.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了卢森堡市为了改善交通拥堵的现状,将要为市民免费提供公共电车的一项计划。

(2023•江苏省南京市高二上期中)
Glass bottles have long conveyed (传递) a high-quality image for the wine they carry, but their carbon footprint is sizable. Fossil fuels are used to produce and recycle them. And when it comes to transport, they are also heavy and waste space.
But Packamama, an Australian packaging start-up, has launched a range of flat wine-bottles, the first for the country, promoting them as an environment ally-friendly alternative to traditional glass. The bottles are made from 100% recycled PET plastic. The slim, flat profile (外形) is 83% lighter, and allows twice as many bottles to fit into a standard case. “Australia is home to the two most significant successful wine packaging innovations of the last century. Bag-in-box and screw cap (螺旋瓶盖), both from the mid-1960s,” says Santiago Navarro, Packamama's co-founder.
Three months after the first bottles hit the shelves, the data suggests flat-bottled wines are becoming popular with drinkers. Packamama's first production order was for 65,000 units, a figure that has risen to 90,000. The demand was so strong that they were sold out after the first production. Questions remain, however, about the flat-profile bottle's suit ability for high-quality wines. The wine maker Nicole Esdaile, of Centare Vineyard in Victoria's Yarra Valley, applauds the move but says it is not a workable option for her business, given its focus on classic, collectible wines typically exported to China. “Critically, they are not suitable for storing wine, with the recommended shelf life being no more than two years. The bottles are perfect for quick ‘drink-now’ style”.
The wine maker Tom Wallace wants to see how flat-bottled wines perform over the years ahead. “The priority for us is the quality of the wine going in, so the packaging has to reflect that and allow those wines to mature
(酿成) in the best way possible. We will wait and see how the trials and research go before we jump on board.”
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了澳大利亚一家包装初创企业Packamama推出了一系列扁平的酒瓶,这是该国首个扁平的酒瓶,宣传它们是传统玻璃的环保替代品。
5.What advantage do the flat wine-bottles have over glass bottles?
A.They can be recycled.
B.They offer zero carbon footprint.
C.They save space in transport.
D.They indicate good wine quality.
细节理解题。根据第二段的“The slim, flat profile (外形) is 83 % lighter, and allows twice as many bottles to fit into a standard case.”可知,扁平的酒瓶相比玻璃瓶的优点在于它们节省运输空间。故选C。
√
6.Why does Santiago Navarro mention the two innovations of the last century?
A.To express his pride in his country.
B.To explain his interest in innovations.
C.To show his confidence in his products.
D.To display his knowledge in packaging.
推理判断题。根据第二段的第一句和最后两句可知,Santiago Navarro提到上世纪的两项创新是为了显示他对产品的信心。故选C。
√
7.What is the weakness of the flat wine-bottles?
A.They have a short shelf life.
B.They are hard to produce in mass.
C.They fail to meet Chinese standards.
D.They are prohibited from being exported.

The Slow Food Movement started in Rome, Italy in 1986. When a new McDonalds was opening near a beautiful historic place, some people stood outside the restaurant and shouted, “We do not want fast food; we want slow food!”
This event wasn't the only thing that started the Slow Food Movement. 1 But the food didn't taste the same as he remembered. He learned that the peppers were shipped from abroad because the prices were low. This deeply concerned Carlo. Carlo wanted people to care about where their foods came from and how their foods made their culture special. So he started a group to encourage this idea. It soon became the Slow Food Movement. 2
First, what is good food? Good food is fresh. The vegetables are eaten close to the place where they are grown. The fish hasn't been sitting for days before it is eaten. Good food is seasonable. 3 Good food satisfies the senses. It should look good, smell good and taste good. And finally, good food is cultural food. Each country has special foods that make it different.
Second, food should be clean. Today, there are great concerns about the way people grow and produce food. Farmers use chemicals to kill insects and feed plants. But the chemicals can also harm the natural environment around farms. 4 Clean food means food that does not harm our bodies or the environment.
And third, food should be fair. 5 All people should be able to purchase healthy food. The people who grow and make food should be paid fairly for their work. They should work in safe, healthy conditions.
