《2026年水木金卷高考模拟试卷精编英语》

B
A charity called Hubbub suggests that we take our own plastic containers along when we buy takeaway food. To encourage us, we can get a discount on the food we buy. I agree with every aspect of this, other than that I personally wouldn't want a discount. I would be only too happy to show off my absolutely world-class Tupperware collection on a daily basis. (Tupperware is a brand known for its line of plastic containers with airtight seals which are designed to keep food fresh for a longer time. ) I will be very pleased to pass on my discount to the customer behind me in the queue. They will want the money to buy themselves some better containers, for once they've seen mine, their whole bodies will throb(颤动) with envy.
I go back a long way with plastics. My mum is from Croatia, born and raised in a city where plastic products are cherished. The notion of single-use plastics doesn't really exist there. Just as the Croatian writer Slavenka Drakulié points out in one of her books, nobody has any choice but to be environmentally sound: everything has to be recycled or more accurately, reused.
And my mum didn't leave that habit at home when she came to Britain to meet my dad, have children and set up home in the West Midlands. To this day, my mum's plastic collection is incomparable. Week after week, the recycling man walks up her drive, peers into the bin, shakes his head and walks away sadly—empty again. Inside, the kitchen shelves are full of plastic bottles and containers.
Her habit has been passed down to me. Every time when I try to throw away plastic pots, my hand shakes as they hover over the recycling bin. Disposal seems disloyal to my mum, the planet and everything in between.
Now I have transferred all my love to Tupperware. I counted 24 empty examples in various sizes this morning, along with 24 matching lids. Furthermore, at each washing I remove the plastic seals from the lids and clean them separately. If, mysteriously and upsettingly, I can't find a lid for a tub, or a tub for a lid, the offending piece is put in my widows-and-orphans box. Sometimes a missing tub or lid turns up, and there is an emotional reunion with no small ceremony. These things are important to me.
