　　On Excessive Packaging

　　Nowadays the phenomena of excessive packaging of goods are prevailing in our society: clothes swathed in tissue paper, placed in cardboard box and finally wrapped in well-designed plastic bags, imported bottles of grape wine packed in wooden boxes, fruits put in hand-woven baskets, to name but a few.

　　There are several causes of excessive packaging. The first reason is that a large number of companies believe that they can attract customers’ attention and stimulate their purchasing desire by over-packaging their goods, thus gaining more profits. On the other hand, quite a number of consumers mistakenly hold that the more delicate the package is, the better the quality will be, thus encouraging excessive packaging.

　　In my point of view, excessive packaging has disastrous consequences, including the loss of precious resources, excessive consumption of water and energy, and unnecessary extraction of scarce land for landfill.

　　To solve the problem, it’s necessary to take the following measures. First, laws and regulations must be made to restrict excessive packaging of companies. In addition, we need to raise consumer’s awareness that excessive packaging doesn’t equal to high quality and advocate packaging recycling.

　　【解析】

　　本次作文的話題是“過(guò)度包裝”，話題不斷新，考生應(yīng)該都比較熟悉。寫好本篇作文的關(guān)鍵在于緊跟題目所列提綱：現(xiàn)象——原因——看法和建議，確定相應(yīng)的寫作結(jié)構(gòu)。重點(diǎn)分析產(chǎn)生此現(xiàn)象的原因有哪些，把最重要的兩三點(diǎn)羅列下來(lái)。最后，根據(jù)分析出的原因提供相應(yīng)的建議。

　　范文首段開門見山，首先一句話總結(jié)如今社會(huì)上過(guò)度包裝現(xiàn)象盛行，而后舉出一些實(shí)例補(bǔ)充說(shuō)明。

　　第二段重點(diǎn)從公司和消費(fèi)者兩方面論述產(chǎn)生過(guò)度包裝的原因。公司方面是為了吸引顧客，刺激消費(fèi)，贏取更多的利潤(rùn);消費(fèi)者方面是認(rèn)為包裝越精美，質(zhì)量越好這種錯(cuò)誤的消費(fèi)意識(shí)。

　　接下來(lái)作者表明自己的看法，認(rèn)為過(guò)度包裝會(huì)導(dǎo)致很多問(wèn)題：稀缺資源的流失;水，能源的過(guò)度消耗以及產(chǎn)生不必要的垃圾場(chǎng)等。

　　最后一段作者針對(duì)原因提出了一些解決方案。第一方面，建立法律規(guī)章制度來(lái)約束企業(yè)的過(guò)度包裝行為。第二方面，必須讓消費(fèi)者認(rèn)識(shí)到過(guò)度包裝不等同于高質(zhì)量，并提倡包裝物的回收利用。

　　本文條理清晰，論述充分，語(yǔ)言使用規(guī)范得當(dāng)，如：to name but a few，the first reason is that…，on the other hand，in my point of view，to solve the problem，first，in addition等。

　　【答案】C) Listening to some loud music.

　　Part III Listening Comprehension

　　Section A

　　Conversation 1

　　W：Good evening, and welcome to this week’s business world. The program for and about business people. Tonight we have Mr. Steven Kayne, who has just taken over and established bicycle shop. Tell us, Mr. Kayne, what made you want to run your own store?

　　M: Well, I always loved racing bikes and fixing them. When I was working full-time as a salesman for a big company, I seldom had time to enjoy my hobby. I knew then that as soon as I had enough money to get my own business going, I’ll do it. I had my heart set on it and I didn’t let anything stand in my way. When I went down to the bank and got a business loan, I knew I’d love being my own boss. Now my time is my own. I open the store when I want and leave when I want。

　　W:You mean you don’t keep regular hours?

　　M: Well, the sign on my store says the hours are ten to six, but if business is slower than usual, I can just lock up and take off early。

　　W: Had you hired any employees to work with you yet?

　　M: Yeah, a couple of friends of mine who love biking as much as I do. They help me out a few days a week. It’s great because we play cards or just sit around and talk when there are no customers.

　　W: Thank you, Mr. Kayne. We wish you success in your new business。

　　Q19.what is the woman doing?

　　Q20.What did Mr. Kayne do before he took over the bicycle shop?

　　Q21.Why did the man take over a bicycle shop?

　　Conversation 2

　　W: Well, the main activities in the region were historically steel and paper processing, I think。

　　M: Yes, but I’m not quite sure about the status of those industries now. Could you tell us something about that?

　　W: Yes, of course. In fact, they are less significant, but steel-related manufacturing still accounts for 44% of industrial activity. So it’s still very important. In fact, 80% of Spain’s machine tools are from the Basque country. As for paper processing, there’s still a little. But it’s no longer what it once was in the region. So, is that clear?

　　M: Yes, thanks。

　　W: Now, to get back to what I was saying, there’s a lot of unemployment as well as geographical problems in the region。

　　M: Sorry, Victoria. What do you mean by geographical problems?

　　W: Well, what I mean is the area is very hilly, mountainous in parts. So there used to be transport problems, now though there are new train links and better roads, but it may be that some smaller towns inland remain not very well connected, is that OK? Does that make sense? When we talk about specific location suggestions for the factory, we’ll see this in more detail, so we’ll come back to this question, OK?

　　M: OK, right。

　　W: So I was about to say something about the work force in the region and the level of training and education. In general, it’s very good and improving。

　　Question 23-25 are based on the conversation you have just heard。

　　23. What does the woman say about the steel-related manufacturing in the region?

　　24. What problems hinder the region’s development?

　　25. What will the speakers discuss later?

　　答案：

　　23. B

　　24. C

　　25. C
