四、 阅读(共两节，满分20分)
第一节　阅读理解(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
Ask 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 it 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.
46. 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 needed.
47. The author uses figures in Paragraph 2 to show ________.
A. the tendency of cutting household waste B. the increase of packaging recycling
C. the rapid growth of supermarkets D. the fact of packaging overuse
48. According to the text，recycling ________.
A. helps control the greenhouse effect B. means burning packaging for energy
C. is the solution to gas shortage D. leads to a waste of land
49. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4
A. Unpackaged products are of bad quality.
B. Supermarkets care more about packaging.
C. It is improper to judge quality by packaging.
D. Other products are better packaged than food.
50. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. Fighting wastefulness is difficult.
B. Needless material is mostly recycled.
C. People like collecting recyclable waste.
D. The author is proud of their consumer culture.
第二节　信息匹配(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
首先，请阅读下面有关购车的五条建议：
5 steps to getting the best price in buying a new car.
Ideally，a dealership should help you find the right vehicle at a fair price. But some dealers place more emphasis on their profit margins than on satisfying their customers.
Read the following situations and match the advice with them.
51. Many dealerships prey on the unprepared. Going into a showroom “cold”—without having gathered key facts and preliminary(初步的) pricing figures—gives the salesperson too much control over the buying process.
52. The dealer invoice price is commonly available on Web sites and in pricing guides. But the invoice price isn't necessarily what the dealer paid. There are often behind the scenes bonuses(幕后红利)，such as dealer incentives and holdbacks，which give the dealer more profit margin.
53. Salespeople like to mix financing，leasing，and trade in negotiations together，often asking you to negotiate around a monthly payment figure. This tactic(策略) gives the dealer more latitude to offer you a favorable figure in one area while inflating figures in another.
54. The salesperson may try to sign you up for a higher rate than you could get elsewhere.
55. Dealers often try to sell you extras such as rust proofing，fabric protection，and paint protectant，or push etching your Vehicle Identification Number on windows to deter thieves.
请结合以上情形，与下面的建议进行匹配。
When buying a car，keep your interests front and center，and avoid common pitfalls(缺陷) that can cost you extra money by following these tips：
A. Don't assume that the sticker price(标价) is the purchase price(买价)．
To get the lowest price，go in with a starting price that's based not on the sticker price but on how much the dealer paid for the vehicle.
A reasonable price to start negotiations is either 4 to 8 percent over what the dealer paid or the CR Wholesale Price，depending on the demand for the model.
B. Do your homework.
Thoroughly research your choices. Read a variety of reviews. Check the reliability，safety，fuel economy，and pricing of any model you're considering. And don't wait until the day you plan to buy to test driving the vehicles. If you have a trade in，know its approximate worth. That will depend on the vehicle's age，condition，mileage，and equipment，as well as where you trade it in.
C. Negotiate one thing at one time.
Make clear that you want the lowest possible mark up over your starting price. Add that you intend to visit other dealerships selling the same vehicle and will buy from the dealer with the best price.
Only after you've settled on the price should you discuss financing，leasing，or a trade in，as necessary. Negotiate each item individually. Remember，you're in charge and can leave at any time. Heading for the door can sometimes jump start a slow moving negotiation or bring a lower offer.
D. Don't pay for extras you don't need.
Don't accept those unnecessary services and fees. If the items are on the bill of sale，put a line through them. Vehicle bodies are already coated to protect against rust. And CR reliability surveys show that rust is not a major problem with modern cars. You can treat upholstery and apply paint protectant yourself with good off the shelf products. You can also do your own VIN etching with a kit that costs about MYM 25.
E. Other costs.
In addition to the vehicle price，you need to consider other costs，including: Sales tax；Registration fees；Insurance premiums.
Taxes and Registration fees can increase your out of pocket cost by as much as 10 percent or more，and driving a car that's worth more than your current one will cost more to insure. Be sure to check with your insurance agent or get insurance quotes online so you understand what you're getting into.
F. Arrange financing in advance.
Compare interest rates at several banks，credit unions，and loan organizations before checking the dealer's rates. If pre approved for a loan，you can keep financial arrangements out of the negotiations. Automakers may offer attractive financing terms，but make sure you qualify for them.
