A small town in southwest Britain is banning(禁止) plastic bags in an attempt to help the environment and cut waste—a step that environmentalists believe is a

first for Europe.

Shopkeepers in Modbury population 1,500 agreed to stop handing out disposable plastic bags to customers on Saturday. They said paper sacks and cloth carrier bags would be offered instead.

Last month, San Francisco became the first U．S. city to ban plastic grocery bags. Internationally, laws to discourage the use of plastic bags have been passed in parts of South Africa and Ireland, where governments either tax shoppers who use them or fine panies that hand them out. Bangladesh already bans them, and so do at least 30 remote Alaskan villages.

Modbury, about 225 miles southwest of London, has also declared a bag amnesty(宽限期), allowing local people to hand in plastic bags that have piled up at home. They will be sent for recycling.

The Modbury ban was the idea of Rebecca Hosking, who saw the effect of bags on marine life while working in the Pacific as a wildlife camerawoman. She said response(反应) in the town so far had been “really positive”．

“Modbury is quite an old－fashioned town and a lot of people have wicker baskets to go out shopping anyway，” Hosking told Sky News Television.

The Worldwatch Institute, an environmental research agency, states that 100 billion plastic gas are thrown away each year in the United States alone. More than 500 billion are used yearly around the world.

63．What was Rebecca Hosking?

A. A lawyer. B. An environmentalist. C. A sailor. D. A photographer.

64．The underlined word “disposable” in the passage probably means ______. A. acceptable B. valuable

C. throw－away D. long－lasting 65．It can be inferred from the passage that ______.

A. most of the people in Modbury continue to use plastic bags B. fewer and fewer plastic bags will be used in the world

C. San Francisco is the first city to ban plastic bags in the world D. most countries in the world have passed laws to ban plastic bags 66．Which of the following would be the best title of the passage? A. Environmental Protection

Time spent in a bookshop can be most enjoyable, whether you are a book－lover or merely go there to buy a book as a present. You may even have entered the shop just to find shelter from a sudden shower. Whatever the reason is, you can soon bee

totally unaware of your surroundings.

The desire to pick up a book with an attractive dust_jacket is irresistible, although this method of selection ought not to be followed, as you might end up with a rather dull book.

You soon bee interested in some book or other, and usually it is only much later that you realize you have spent far too much time there and must dash off to keep some forgotten appointment—without buying a book, of course.

This opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is, I think, the main attraction of a bookshop. There are not many places where it is possible to do this. A music shop is very much like a bookshop. You can wander round such places to your heart’s content. If it is a good shop, no assistant will approach you with the inevitable greeting: “Can I help you, sir？” You needn’t buy anything you don’t want. In a bookshop an assistant should remain in the background until you have finished browsing. Then, and only then, are his services necessary. Of course, you may want to find out where a particular section is, but when he has led you there, the assistant should retire discreetly(谨慎地) and look as if he is not interested in selling a single book.

You have to be careful not to be attracted by the variety of books in a bookshop. It is very easy to enter the shop looking for a book on, say ancient coins and to e out carrying a copy of the latest best－selling novel and perhaps a book about brass－rubbing—something which had only slightly interested you up till then. This volume on the subject, however, happened to be so well illustrated and the part of the text you read proved so interesting that you just had to buy it. This sort of thing can be very dangerous. Apart from running up a huge account, you can waste a great deal of time wandering from section to section.

67．The underlined phrase “dust jacket” means ______. A. a kind of clothes B. a paper cover of a book C. a dusty book D. a title of a book

68．You may spend too much time in a bookshop because ______. A. the dust jackets are very attractive B. you start reading one of the books C. it is raining outside

D. you have to make sure you won’t buy a dull book as a present 69．In a good bookshop ______.

A. all the books there are interesting B. the assistant greets you in a warm way C. your heart is satisfied

D. you feel that you are in a music shop

70．The best title of this passage may be ______. A. The Attraction of Bookshops B. How to Spend Your Time

C. Bookshops and Their Assistants D. How to Select Books [答案]

无论你是爱书的人或是仅仅想买一本书作为礼物，在书店里度过的时光都可能是令人非常愉快的。
