Grammar and VocabularySection ADirections: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and gr
15、ammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. Ask someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling. Recycling
16、 in the home is very important of course. However, (21)_(force) 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 (22)_ we did not need to bring so much material home in
17、 the first place. The total amount of packaging increased (23)_ 12% between 1999 and 2005. A large number of companies believe that they can attract customers attention and stimulate their purchasing desire by over-packaging their goods, thus (24)_(gain) more profits. Too much packaging is doing dam
18、age to the environment. If such packaging (25)_(burn), it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect. Recycling helps, (26)_ 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 superma
19、rkets encourage customers to buy more than they need. However, a few of them are coming round to the idea (27)_ 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
20、 with quality. We have learned to think that (28)_ without packaging is of poor quality. This is especially true of food. But it also applies to a wide range of consumer products, (29)_ often have far more packaging than necessary. There are signs of hope. As more of us recycle, we are beginning to
21、realize just how much unnecessary materials are collecting. However, despite the ongoing campaigns (30)_(promote) consumers green awareness, we still have a long way to go.Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that th
22、ere is one word more than you need.A. equalB. demandingC. benefitsD. employE. reachF. increaseG. accessH. conveyI .conditionsJ. superiorK. approached There is distinction between reading for information and reading for understanding. Thus we can _31_ the word “reading” in two distinct senses.The fir
23、st sense is the one in which we read newspapers, magazines, or anything else. We can get _32_ to the content of those materials easily. Such materials may increase our store of information, but they cannot improve our understanding. And clearly we dont have any difficulty in gaining the new informat
24、ion, for our understanding was _33_ to them before we started. Otherwise, we would have felt the shock of puzzlement. The second sense is the one in which we read something that at first we do not completely understand. Here the thing to be read is at the first sight better or higher than the reader
25、. The writer is communicating something that can _34_ the readers understanding. Such communication between unequals must be possible. Otherwise one person could never learn from another. Here “learning” means understanding more, not remembering more information. What are the _35_ in this kind of re
26、ading? First, there is inequality in understanding. The writer must be “_36_” to the reader in understanding. Besides, his book must _37_ something he possesses and his potential readers lack. Second, the reader must be able to overcome this inequality in some degree. And he should always try to _38
27、_ the same level of understanding with the writer. If the equality is _39_, success of communication is achieved. Besides gaining information and understanding, theres another goal of reading - entertainment. It is the least _40_ and requires the least amount of effort. Everyone who knows how to rea
28、d can read for entertainment if he wants to. In fact, any book that can be read for understanding or information can probably be read for entertainment as well. III.

Besides, fashion magazines have almost _42_ the practice of putting models on the cover because they dont sell nearly as well as famous faces. _43_, celebrities have realized their unbelievably powerful market potential, moving from advertising for others pro
