不久前，英国《卫报》评出了“人类最糟糕阅读答案
阅读文段，回答问题。
不久前，英国《卫报》评出了①“人类最糟糕的发明”，塑料袋不幸②“荣获”这一称号。塑料袋是从石油或煤炭中提取的化学产品，一旦生产出来就很难自然降解。处理这些白色垃圾很多时候都只能挖土填埋或高温焚烧。据科学家测试，塑料袋在地下200年也不会腐烂降解，大量的塑料废弃物填埋在地下，会破坏土壤透气性，使土壤板结，影响植物生长。如果家畜误食了混入食料或废留在野外的塑料，会因消化道梗阻而死亡；而焚烧所产生的有害烟尘和有毒气体，同样会造成对大气环境的污染。英国《卫报》称，我们的地球似乎已经变成了塑料星球，土地、河流、高山、海洋……塑料袋无处不在，直到有一天，我们都已离去，这些东西仍然占据着地球，因为它们是③“永生”的。
据国外新闻媒体报道，经常有许多海洋动物如海豚、海豹、海龟等由于误食了海洋中的漂浮的塑料废弃物，堵塞消化道而丧生。如今，这事在中国也发生了。西安市动物园近两年来5只鹿、1只美洲驼不明不白地死去，经专家解剖尸体后证实，“凶手”竟是司空见惯的塑料袋，这些动物误食了游人乱丢的塑料袋而命丧黄泉。无独有偶，北京麋鹿园自1995年以来已经发生了十几起麋鹿误食塑料袋而致死的事，科研人员在一头麋鹿的胃中竟然发现了4公斤之多的塑料垃圾！
塑料袋的发明虽然只有100多年，但是它对环境的危害已经显而易见了，它所堵塞的也不仅仅是动物的消化道了。___________________重庆市1998年8月就由于嘉陵江、长江上取水口，致使好几家自来水厂停产减产，害得重庆市民守着两条大江没水喝。
据悉，爱尔兰现在已经开始征集塑料袋税，每个塑料袋征收13美分的税。这个方法级为有效，爱尔兰塑料袋的使用率降低了百分之九十。在挪威，居民外出购物大都自带塑料袋，因为商店虽然提供塑料袋，但需付费。我国这几年有不少环保组织都搞了布袋赠市民的活动。倡导人们少用塑料袋。但是也没见多少人用环保布袋购物。关键在于塑料袋是白给的，用不用与人们的经济利益无关，看来，要抵制“白色垃圾”，除了宣传、号召之外，还需要采用经济手段。
塑料袋的问世确实给我们的生活带来了极大的方便，但是，我们都不能做往自家水井里吐痰的傻事。这种给人类带来如此大的麻烦的发明还是少点为好。王娅《糟糕的发明》《中国环境报》2003年1月6日有增删

英国文学选读一考试大题必备 重点题目分析(人物分析 诗歌分析 三大主义)
Hamlet is the first work of literature to look squarely at the stupidity, falsity and sham of everyday life, without laughing and without easy answers. In a world where things are not as they seem, Hamlet…s genuineness, thoughtfulness, and sincerity make him special. Hamlet is no saint. But unlike most of the other characters (and most people today), Hamlet chooses not to compromise with evil. Dying, Hamlet reaffirms the tragic dignity of a basically decent person in a bad world Hamlet is the first work of literature to show an ordinary person looking at the futility and wrongs in life, asking the toughest questions and coming up with honest semi-answers like most people do today. Unlike so much of popular culture today, "Hamlet" leaves us with the message that life is indeed worth living, even by imperfect people in an imperfect world. 犹豫scholars have debated for centuries about Hamlet's hesitation in killing his uncle. Some see it as a plot device to prolong the action, and others see it as the result of pressure exerted by the complex philosophical and ethical issues that surround cold-blooded murder, calculated revenge and thwarted desire. More recently, psychoanalytic critics have examined Hamlet's unconscious desires (Freud concludes that Hamlet has an "Oedipal desire for his mother and the subsequent guilt [is] preventing him from murdering the man [Claudius] who has done what he unconsciously wanted to do". Robinson Crusoe is a grand hero in westerners? eyes. He survived in the deserted island and lived a meaningful life. He almost has everything needed for becoming a successful man, such as his excellent creativity, great working capacity, courage, and persistence in overcoming obstacles. But he has shortcomings, too. Sometimes he was irresolute; he was not confident; he was fetishistic, although his belief had done him much good. He serves somehow as a lighthouse for the ambitious people. It?s also instructive for average people. Robinson was the representative of the bourgeois of the 18th C. It was the time when bourgeois grew stronger and stronger. The author Defoe paid a tribute to bourgeois by creating such a rational, powerful, clever, and successful man. 【Themes of Robinson Crusoe】 1. The ambivalence of mastery In short, while Crusoe seems praiseworthy in mastering his fate by overcoming his obstacles, and controlling his environment, the praiseworthiness of his mastery over his fellow human Friday is more doubtful. Defoe explores the link between the two in his depiction of the colonial mind. 2. The necessity of Repentance Crusoe?s experiences constitute not simply an adventure story in which thrilling things happen, but also a moral tale illustrating the right and wrong ways to live one?s life. Crusoe?s story instruct s others in God?s wisdom, and one vital part of this wisdom is the importance of repenting one?s sins. 3. The Importance of Self-Awareness Crusoe?s arrival on the island does not make him revert to a brute existence and he remains conscious of himself at all times. His island existence actually deepens his self-awareness as he withdraws from the external society and turns inward. The idea that the individual must keep a careful reckoning of the state of his own soul is a key point in the Presbyterian doctrine that the aothor took seriously all his life. ·Jane Eyre Charlotte Bronte The protagonist and title character, orphaned as a baby. She is a plain-featured, small and reserved but talented, sympathetic, hard-working, honest and passionate girl. Skilled at studying, drawing, and teaching, she works as a governess at Thornfield Hall and falls in love with her wealthy employer, Edward Rochester. But her strong sense of conscience does not permit her to become his mistress, and she does not return to him until his insane wife is dead and she herself has come into an inheritance. 【Themes of Jane Eyre】 1. Gender relations A particularly important theme in the novel is patriarchalism and Jane…s efforts to assert her own identity within male-dominated society. Among the three of the main male characters,
100多年前的某个10月24日,奥地利人阅读附答案
阅读下面的文章，完成小题。（18分） 100多年前的某个10月24日，奥地利人马克斯.舒施尼发明了塑料袋，这种包装物既轻便又结实，在当时无异于一场科技革命。从此以后，人们外出购物时顿感一身轻松，不需要携带任何东西，因为商店、菜场都备有免费的塑料袋。可舒施尼做梦也没有想到，到塑料袋百岁“诞辰”纪念日时，它竟然被评为20世纪人类“最糟糕的发明”。 塑料袋“糟糕”，是因为它大多是用不可降解和再生的材料生产的，处理这些白色垃圾很多时候都只能挖土填埋或高温焚烧。据科学家测试，塑料袋埋在地里需要200年以上才能腐烂，并且严重污染土壤；而焚烧所产生的有害烟尘和有毒气体，同样会造成对大气环境的污染。 联合国教科文组织有个形象的比喻，说如果把人们每年使用的塑料袋覆盖在地球表面，足以使地球穿上好几件“白色外衣”。一时间，“远离塑料袋”“拒用塑料袋”“禁用塑料袋”的呼声一浪高过一浪。事实上，要在短时间内完全禁止使用塑料袋是不现实的。积极的态度是依靠科技进步，即采用回收利用和降解相结合的办法去解决。工业包装膜、商品包装袋（膜）用后较干净，应作为主要回收利用对象，分类收集再生利用，这在国内外都已有许多成功经验。而对于那些量大、分散、脏乱、难于收集或再生利用经济效益甚微的一次性塑料包装袋，则应该使用可降解塑料生产。 然而环保意识不是一夜之间就能树立的，一方面，塑料袋像臭豆腐一样闻起来“臭”，吃起来“香”，因为它的确有它的便利之处；另一方面，许多消费者认为，塑料袋是免费赠送的，不花钱的东西不用白不用。针对这种情况，1989年7月起，美国近半数的州实施了《塑料袋禁用法》，禁止所有不能分解和还原处理的食品塑料包装袋上市。印度马哈拉施特拉邦禁用厚度不到20微米的塑料袋，并控制生产这种塑料袋的原料。意大利则实行《塑料袋课税法》。 这些法律的推行，起到了很好的效果。以爱尔兰为例，自从征收塑料袋税之后，全国塑料袋的使用量降低了90%。与此同时，各国都加强了对可降解塑料包装材料的研制，并加大了开发塑料回收利用技术的力度。舒施尼那项“最糟糕的发明”将以一种全新的形式继续为人类造福。 小题1:塑料袋被评为20世纪人类“最糟糕的发明”，文中指出的原因有哪些？请至少列出三条理由。（3分） 小题2:第三段划线句子使用的说明方法是什么？有何作用？（3分） 小题3:对文章内容的概括和理解，不准确的一项是（）（3分） A．用挖土填埋或高温焚烧处理白色污染，都不是万全之策，仍然不能从根本上改变污染环境的问题。 B．塑料袋像臭豆腐一样闻起来“臭”，吃起来“香”。“臭”，是因为它是免费赠送的；“香”因为它的确有它的便利之处。 C．有些国家利用法律来治理塑料污染，取得了一定成效。 D．奥地利人马克斯.舒施尼发明了塑料袋，在当时无异于一场科技革命；但一百多年后被评为“最糟糕的发明”，是因为人们意识到了它对环境的不利影响。 小题4:文中提到了哪些解决“白色污染”的办法？你赞成哪一种？简述理由。（3分）小题5:根据你的知识和经验，大胆想象，请再为治理“白色污染”提一条合理化建议。（3分） 小题6:请你为消除“白色污染”拟一条公益广告。（3分） 参考答案： 小题1:（1）它的分子结构非常稳定，即使埋在土里数百年它也不会分化、降解。（2）塑料燃烧后残存在大气里的氯化物及重金属离子会严重危害人类健康和生态环境。（3）大量

《人类最糟糕的发明》阅读答案
《人类最糟糕的发明》阅读答案 《人类最糟糕的发明》阅读答案 人类最糟糕的发明 英国《卫报》在2002年评出“人类最糟糕的发明”，塑料袋不幸“荣获”这一称号——因为我们现在居住的地球似乎已经变成了“塑料星球”，土地、河流、高山、海洋……塑料经无所不在。直到有一天，我们都已离去，这些家伙仍然占据着地球，因为它们是“永生”的。 该报称，蟑螂曾被誉为顽强生命力的象征，但是自从塑料袋出现后，它甚至超越了蟑绑，将成为人类文明的最后一个见证——相信它会带着人类历史进入下一个冰河期。塑料“诞生”于20世纪30年代，从70年代起，塑料袋垄断了欧美超市购物袋的市场。现在仅英国每年就要使用80亿个塑料袋。每次人们使用崭新的塑料袋装东西时，应该想想——也许有一天海龟会把它当作美味的水母一口吞下去，然后悲惨地死于窒息。 塑料食品袋对生态环境造成的污染极其严重。它的分子结构非常稳定。自然界的光、热、细菌和酶难以将其化解，即使埋在土里数百年它也不会分化、降解；焚烧塑料也不是解决办法，塑料燃烧后残存在大气里的氯化物及重金属离子会严重地危害人类健康和生态环境、所以大量弃置塑料袋的堆积，已经造成农田和河流的严重污染，破坏了我们所处的生态环境。 与其他国家相比，南非的“白色污染”更为严重。大风吹过，树木上经常挂满了塑料袋，居民还以为是下雪了。为了减少环境污染，自2001年3月起，爱尔兰政府开始征收塑料袋税，每个塑料袋9便士。而英国采取另一措施，使用可降解的材料制造塑料袋。目前，其他国家正在效仿该方案，为“最糟糕的发明”做补救工作。但不知什么时候，人类才能告别“塑料时代”。 12．本文的说明对象是什么？
答： 13．第2自然段画线句子主要说明了什么？ 答： 14．第4自然段加点词“该方案”具体指什么？ 答； 15．人类对处理废弃塑料袋感到头疼的主要原因是什么？请简要说明。参考答案： 12．塑料袋 13.塑料袋在短时间内被大量应用。 14.使用可降解的材料制造塑料袋。 15.埋在土里难以分化、降解，燃烧产生有害气体。
