There’s a world paper shortage. There’s a national bottle【1】, and we’re running out of raw materials like timber and tin—or so the papers say. Well, I’ve just emptied my shopping basket after my【2】shopping trip and it was full of things made from these【3】materials. Half of what I’d bought I threw away at once; all those unnecessary paper bags, plastic bags, fresh【4】paper and old newspapers they put the food in nowadays.
Modern packaging makes shopping cleaner and more convenient, but at what【5】? Every time you throw away a paper bag you’re throwing away part of a tree—and trees don’t grow【6】! At this rate there soon won’t be any trees left, and then what shall we do?
Perhaps we’ll learn to do what my mother did. She used to keep a store of paper bags in a kitchen【7】and use them again and again for her shopping. Most goods were sold【8】in those days. And the shopkeeper weighed out the amount you wanted.
Of course, liquid goods have always been【9】in bottles or cans, but why can’t we use them more than once? If we【10】all our bottles we would save on the raw materials and energy needed to make new ones. It’s time we started to think seriously about the growing shortage of raw materials in the world today.
A. drawer B. seldom C. weekly D. reused
E. cost F. verify G. overnight H. wrapping
I. enclosed J. loose K. sold L. shortage
M. scarce N. partial O. ban [br] 【9】
选项
答案
K
解析
由前面的have been可知此处应为动词的过去分词形式。对比上文可知,本句提到的是液体商品的包装方法和销售模式与上文提到的其他商品不同,因此该词应表“包装”或“销售”之义,词库中只有sold最合适。
