　　2012年6月大学英语四级考试已结束，中华考试网第一时间收集整理试题及参考答案，以下提供的参考答案仅供考生参考：　　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.

　　本次作文的话题是“过度包装”，话题不断新，考生应该都比较熟悉。写好本篇作文的关键在于紧跟题目所列提纲：现象——原因——看法和建议，确定相应的写作结构。重点分析产生此现象的原因有哪些，把最重要的两三点罗列下来。最后，根据分析出的原因提供相应的建议。
　　范文首段开门见山，首先一句话总结如今社会上过度包装现象盛行，而后举出一些实例补充说明。
　　第二段重点从公司和消费者两方面论述产生过度包装的原因。公司方面是为了吸引顾客，刺激消费，赢取更多的利润；消费者方面是认为包装越精美，质量越好这种错误的消费意识。
　　接下来作者表明自己的看法，认为过度包装会导致很多问题：稀缺资源的流失；水，能源的过度消耗以及产生不必要的垃圾场等。
　　最后一段作者针对原因提出了一些解决方案。第一方面，建立法律规章制度来约束企业的过度包装行为。第二方面，必须让消费者认识到过度包装不等同于高质量，并提倡包装物的回收利用。

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?
　　Q22.What do we learn about the people working in the shop?
　　答案：
　　19. D
　　20. A
　　21. B
　　22. A
　　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
