24、A zero-waste life is a lifestyle that hardly creates any rubbish. So, a zero-waste store is about providing a kind of everyday and pleasant-looking zero-waste products to help people start on a zero-waste life journey.

“Zero waste” or “danshari” was first suggested by a French woman called Bea Johnson. Her idea is: live a life and try not to create any rubbish; use different kinds of ways to save the environment such as stopping the use of one-off objects; giving unwanted things to others or giving them away to organizations like the Red Cross.

Yu Yuan, 27, is deeply interested in this idea. She and her boyfriend have lived in Beijing for many years. And earlier she used to buy things without thinking about them carefully until she saw a video about “zero waste”, in which a family of four placed the rubbish they produced every year in a jar (罐). After watching the video, Yu wanted to experience this zero-waste lifestyle with her boyfriend.

A zero-waste life follows the 6R rule—Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Recycle and Rot. Over August—October when Yu followed the rule of zero waste 6R, she and her boyfriend Joe Harvey both produced only two cans of rubbish.

Now, the couple have opened a small shop in Beijing, where they use wood products to take the place of plastic ones and cloth bags printed with environmentally friendly logos. Most products sold in the store can be reused. The store also has second-hand books and CDs/DVDs with ideas to make the best of the used things.

“Those who once experienced the non-waste lifestyle have slowly changed their ideas,” says Ya, “The zero-waste lifestyle is not for ascetics (苦行僧). It is just around us at our finger-tips.” Yu expects some of her friends to join her on the road to zero waste.

【1】Bea Johnson suggests that people should ________.

A．work hard for the Red Cross

B．share objects with others

C．help their friends live comfortably

D．try to produce no rubbish in life

【2】We can see from the passage that Yu Yuan ________.

A．likes listening to CDs very much

B．is influenced by the 6R rule

C．often buys things she doesn’t need

D．offers plastic bags in her store

【3】What Yu Yuan says in the last paragraph probably means that ________.

A．the zero-waste lifestyle is not difficult to live

B．she feels it hard to continue her lifestyle

C．her friends have followed her lifestyle

D．lots of people doubt the zero-waste lifestyle

【4】Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A．Joining the couple

B．Recycling waste

C．Saving the environment

D．Opening up a second-hand store

25、American nutrition expert Professor Barry Popkin says that the number of overweight people in the world is now bigger than the number of people who don’t have enough to eat. A billion people worldwide now weigh too much and the number of obese people is now more than 300 million. “Obese” means at least 15 kilos heavier than you should be. However, there are also 800 million people in the world who don’t have enough to eat.

Professor Popkin says that the number of hungry people is falling slowly but the number of overweight people is rising fast. The main reasons for this are:

● People are doing less hard physical work

● More people worldwide now eat too much fatty food

● Too many people are driving cars instead of walking

● People spend too much time in front of a television

The United States has the highest rate of obesity in the developed world and Japan has the lowest. Professor Benjamin Senauer is absolutely certain of the reasons for this.

“Japanese people are fit. They use public transport and walk,” he said. “The average American drives to work and drives to supermarket. When he gets home, he sits on a couch in front of the TV and eats junk food.”

In Britain and many other European countries, there are three times as many obese people as there were 20 years ago. About two thirds of British adults are overweight or obese. “The effects of this are clear,” said London doctor Elena Power. “We have more illnesses related to weight and fewer fit people.

China used to be one of the slimmest nations in the world. However, Professor Wu Yangfeng from the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences in Beijing recently estimated （估计）that 20 percent of the world’s overweight people live in China. The Chinese government is especially worried about the increase in obesity among schoolchildren.

“We have a serious problem,” said Professor Wu. “It requires an improvement from everyone, or it will get worse.

【1】 How many people weigh too much in the world now?

A. A billion.   B. 20 billion.

C. 300 million.   D. 800 million.

【2】 Professor Popkin probably agrees that_______.

A. walking to work helps people keep fit.

B. watching TV makes people put on weight

C. eating food without fat helps people keep fit

D. working in offices makes people put on weight

【3】 Which of the following is Not True according to the passage ?

A. Being overweight can cause more illnesses.

B. About two thirds of British people are overweight.

C. More and more schoolchildren are overweight in China.

D. Most Japanese people are healthier than those in other countries.

【4】 What does the writer try to tell us in the passage?

A. The importance of losing weight.

B. How people keep fit all over the world.

C. How many countries have health problem.

D. The number of overweight people is growing.

26、Think back to a time in your life when you tried something new.

When I was a teenager I volunteered to pass out water at a local race. I was so excited to see all the different runners who passed by and quickly took a cup of water. Some ran past, some walked past and a few wheeled past.

I saw so many types of people doing it. I thought maybe I could do it too! The next year I decided to run for the race, but I had little running practice. I just wanted to finish. On the day of the race, it was terribly hot. After running for about 5 miles, I was thinking, “I must be crazy. Why did I do this? What was I thinking?” And at one moment, I said to myself, “I am never doing this again!”

That first 10 km race was quite an experience. I jogged, I walked, I jogged and walked. At times, I didn’t know if I could finish.

Near the end, a 70­-year­-old man ran past me, very fast, and I felt a little embarrassed (尴尬的) that I was more than 50 years younger than he and I couldn’t even keep up with him. But then I realized something. He was running his race and I was running mine. How often in life do we compare(比较) ourselves to others when we really shouldn’t? I decided that I would not give up on running races，and that one day I would be one of those 70­year­olds who were still running.

As I crossed the finishing line, I was proud of myself. I didn’t regret (后悔) having such an experience.

【1】What did the writer do at a local race as a volunteer?

【2】Why did the writer join the race?

A. He  was crazy about running.

B. He just wanted to experience.

D. He wanted very much to win a prize.

【3】How did the writer’s feeling change after running about 5 miles?

①He regretted.

②He encouraged himself.

③He felt a little embarrassed.

A. ①—②—③ B. ②—①—③ C. ①—③—② D. ②—③—①

【4】Why did the writer feel embarrassed?

A. Because the old man ran faster than him.

B. Because he ran most slowly.

C. Because he was over 50 years younger.

D. Because he ran faster than the old man.

【5】What is the best title of the passage?

A. To be No.1.     B. Let’s compare.

C. A volunteering job. D. Running your own race.

27、A kind of little cars may take the place of today’s big ones many years later. If everyone drives such cars in the future, there will be less pollution in the air. There will also be more space for parking in cities, and the streets will be less crowded.

Last Wednesday, Steve Coulby, a D.J. for Nottingham Hospitals Radio in England, read out a request from a patient fighting COVID-19.
