21、Every Sunday at 2 p.m., Marisela Godinez, the owner of El Mesón Tequilería, a Mexican restaurant in Austin, Texas, used to fill a 12-gallon bucket, plus another half-bucket, with leftover food from the restaurant’s all-you-can-eat brunch buffet. “We threw out a lot of food,” she said.

But a few months ago Ms. Godinez signed up to use an app called Too Good To Go. Now, 10 customers pick up “surprise bags” of her leftovers for $ 5. 99 each, and she sends far fewer leftovers to the landfill.

Around the country, apps that connect customers to businesses with leftover food have begun to spread. The concept is simple: Restaurants and grocery stores throw away huge amounts of food every day. Rather than trash it, apps like Too Good To Go and Flashfood help businesses sell it at a reduced price. They claim that the businesses and buyers are helping the environment because the food would otherwise become food waste, a big contributor to climate change.

Food production itself is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for between a quarter and a third of global emissions. Each step of the process-growing, harvesting, moving, processing, packaging, storing and preparing food-releases carbon dioxide,methane and other planet-warming gases. When the food is wasted, so are all those emissions. In addition, once unused food reaches landfills, it breaks down and releases more methane.

Too Good To Go has tried to gamify (游戏化) buying leftover food. In the United States, customers in 12 cities can browse restaurants and stores, then reserve “surprise bags” that typically cost about $4 to $ 6 and contain food that would have been originally priced at roughly three times that amount. The bags can be picked up at a certain time window.

According to interviews with several companies selling on Too Good To Go, at least a few items for sale there aren’t necessarily what buyers might think of as “food waste”. A beverage company owner said he used the app to sell discontinued products and he also wanted to try selling new flavors there in hopes of attracting new customers.

【1】How does Marisela Godinez deal with leftovers now?

A．By throwing them into buckets.

B．By sending them to the landfill.

C．By selling them on the special app.

D．By offering them to customers for free.

【2】What does Paragraph 4 really want to say?

A．The complex process of food production.

B．The best way to reduce gas emission.

C．The popularity of Too Good To Go.

D．The negative effect of food waste.

【3】What can we infer from the passage?

A．Different kinds of games can be played on the app.

B．The goal of the app is to help people find food easily.

C．Discontinued products are sold on Too Good To Go.

D．New food products might be bought on Too Good To Go.

【4】What’s the passage mainly about?

A．Too Good To Go helps cut a significant amount of food waste.

B．Too Good To Go inspires everyone to fight against gas emission.

C．Too Good To Go saves a number of people from being hungry.

D．Too Good To Go contributes to the increase of the business well.

22、The Ostrich Pillow was created by a European designer, who wanted to find a creative way to provide people with the health and productivity benefits commonly associated with power napping (小憩). Power napping is as important as normal sleep. Only when you’re done with a power nap, are you expected to actually work better.

When you wake up from a normal nap, it’s completely OK to glance around the room, confirm that John Hodgman riding a unicorn (独角兽) was just an amazing dream, and then roll over to fall back asleep.

But the Ostrich Pillow is specifically designed for those shorter periods of rest-the power naps-and the creators say that their invention allows you to sleep anytime, anywhere by creating a “little private space within a public one, to relax and rest.”

Perhaps this says a lot about people’s attitudes toward napping and the importance of taking a little nap during the busy workday. The advertisement for the Ostrich Pillow even claims that a 20-minute power nap can increase productivity by 37％.

Amazing! I can only dream of all the things I would get done at the office if I actually worked at 37％ productivity. And to think, all I need is a quick nap as soon as I get to my desk!

In general, the Ostrich Pillow seems like a great idea. It’s convenient. It’s comfortable. It has a place for your hands. But the big question is whether people will actually wear it in public.

Nevertheless, I’m still hoping to get my hands on one of these to give it a proper test drive. But, until then, if you need me, I’ll be sleeping buried on my desk!

【1】According to the passage, we can learn that ________.

A．the Ostrich Pillow can help people sleep longer

B．power napping can help people work better

C．people from a normal nap usually dream about a unicorn

D．John Hodgman invented the Ostrich Pillow

【2】What does the writer think about the advertisement?

A．He feels bored.

B．He doubts it.

C．He believes it.

D．He dislikes it.

【3】Which of the following best describes the Ostrich Pillow?

A．Comfortable and cheap.

B．Productive and relaxing.

C．Convenient and comfortable.

D．Special and attractive.

【4】What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A．The writer has got an Ostrich Pillow.

B．The writer is willing to have a drive test.

C．The writer will be sleeping on his desk without that.

D．The writer expects to own an Ostrich Pillow.

【5】What might be the author’s purpose of writing the text?

A．To introduce an invention for power napping.

B．To advertise a new invention — the Ostrich Pillow.

C．To inform people the importance of power napping.

D．To tell people a better way of keeping power napping.

23、   Deep in the middle of Sri Lanka, a massive column of rock reaches out from the green tropical forest. It is 660 feet tall and features frescoes (壁画), graffiti, and landscaped gardens.

The rock is known as Sigiriya and holds a special place in the island's cultural history.

It was established as the stronghold of a king over 1,500 years ago, and today the Sigiriya complex stands as one of the earliest preserved examples of ancient urban planning.

Located in the Central Province, the column of rock is somewhat central to the country. The rock is known as Sihagiri, meaning "Lion Rock", a nod to the giant animal carved from stone which greeted visitors at the entrance.

In 476 BC. King Dhatusena ruled over Sri Lanka. One of his illegal sons, Kashyapa, wanted the throne (王位). Kashyapa overthrew Dhatusena and drove his brother Moggallana to Southern India. Kashyapa crowned himself king in 477 BC.

King Kashyapa chose Sigiriya as his palace because its position was an advantage to the defensive stronghold, offering fantastic 360-degree views. Plans to build a city quickly unfolded and after several years, the Sigiriya complex had become a business center for the new King.

Sigiriya was both a palace and a fortress (堡垒); the overall complex featured five gates and measured just under 3 km by just over 1 km. The site plan consisted of a fort，an upper palace on the top of the rock,and lower palaces at ground level. The king also constructed gardens throughout，and for protection a river with walls surrounded the complex.

Frescoes decorate the western side of the rock, along with the mirror wall, a brick face covered in a highly-polished white plaster. When new, the wall was said to be able to produce Reflections.

Over time the Mirror Wall became a graffiti board, covered in verses written by visitors. Known as "Sigiri Graffiti", some of the messages date to the 8th century CE.

【1】It is implied in the passage that Sigiriya was built to ______________.

A.preserve the culture of Sri Lanka B.prove the ancient urban planning

C.keep the King from being attacked D.protect the green tropical forest

【2】According to the passage, some visitors would _________.

A.have a reflection before the Mirror Wall

B.leave comments on the Mirror Wall

C.draw beautiful paintings of girls on the wall

D.be lost in thought before the Mirror Wall

【3】What do we know about Sigiriya?

A.Its entrance is carved like a lion. B.Its gardens are at ground level.

C.Its western side is a mirror. D.Its palaces are on the top of the rock.

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

A.The giant lions in Sri Lanka. B.The pearl of the Indian Ocean.

C.The Lion Rock of Sri Lanka. D.The mirror wall in a rock.

24、White light is made up of a mixture of different colors. Light travels in waves, and different colors have different wavelengths. Things seem a particular color because of the light they reflect or scatter[散射]—a leaf appears green because it reflects green light. 

Scattering Light 

Shine a torch through an empty glass or bottle and look at the colour of the light in the bottle. Hold a piece of paper on the other side of the bottle and look at the colour of light that has passed through. Fill the glass or bottle with water and shine the torch through it. What colour is the light passing in the bottle or glass, and what colour is the light on the paper? Add a drop or two of milk and mix it thoroughly, and shine the torch through it again—what happens to the light in the glass or bottle, and the light on the paper？ 

Particles in suspension reflect light— this is called the “Tyndall Effect” （think of how car headlights reflect off fog, which is a suspension of water droplets in air）.

Light travels directly through water, with little reflection and scattering, and the colour does not change. Milk in water is a suspension of fat and protein particles[微粒] in water. The suspended particles should change the colour of the light in the bottle or glass to a bluish[带蓝色的] tinge[淡色], with the light on the paper having a reddish tinge. 

The blue part of the light （shorter wavelength） from the torch should be reflected and scattered by the particles in the suspension， more than the red, orange and yellow parts of the light （longer wavelength）. When this scattered light reaches people’s eyes, it makes the mixture seem blue, particularly at the edges. The particles allow more of the red, orange and yellow light through, so the light on the paper will have more of these colours in it. 

The light at the centre of the glass or bottle may also seem to have a reddish tinge—this is because it has passed through more particles than the light at the edges, so more of the blue light has been scattered away. 

Blue Skies 

Air molecules[微粒] also affect light. They absorb the light and then release （scatter） it in another direction. This is called the “Rayleigh Effect”. Air molecules absorb and release blue light more often than red, orange and yellow light. As this light is scattered, it reaches people’s eyes, making the sky seem blue. The red, orange and yellow light carries straight on without being scattered by the air molecules, so people do not see as much of it.

【1】From the text, why a leaf appears green?

A. Because a leaf reflects green light.

B. Because many of the leaves contain chlorophyll(叶绿体） is green.

C. Because the leaves absorb the green light.

【2】what happens to the light in the glass or bottle， and the light on the paper？

A. Light travels directly through water， with little reflection and scattering.

B. It would happen, "Tindall effect".

C. Water, milk, fat and protein particles in aqueous suspension.

D. Suspended particles can change the color of light in a bottle or glass blue color

【3】What can be inferred from the sixth paragraph？

A. Light red, orange and yellow part of the light is the long wave, the blue part is shorter

B. Especially at the edges, when the light reaches the people's body, it makes the mixture blue.

C. The light on the paper will have fewer of these colors in it.

D. The blue part of the light from the torch should be reflected and scattered by the particles in the suspension, more than the red light.

【4】What conclusions can be drawn from the full text.

A. White light is the most simple light

B. The light in the center of a glass or bottle is also a red hue because it has passed the light particles over the edge.

C. Air molecules are also affected by light, which is called "Rayleigh effect".

D. As the light is scattered, the light reaches the people's eyes, making the sky blue.

25、   My job was to make classroom observations and encourage a training program that would enable students to feel good about themselves and take charge of their lives. Donna was one of the volunteer teachers who participated in this ________.
