26、Environmental issues can often seem overwhelming. We’ve all seen the news headlines about plastic pollution poisoning our oceans and scary climate change statistics. But instead of feeling overwhelmed, I am choosing to be mindful. The easiest place was to start with my home. 【1】.

Replace your disposables(一次性物品)with reusable things

The first thing you can do is replace all your plastic drinking bottles with a reusable drink bottle. 【2】. Plastic is a major pollutant of our oceans, that’s because plastic takes hundreds of years to break down and our ocean life mistake it for food!

【3】

Food waste is a major issue! Food sits in our landfills and gives off poisonous greenhouse emissions. It’s time to deal with food waste instead of sending them to landfill. This might be as simple as sharing a compost(混合肥料)bin with your neighbors or even using your local community compost. Do a search to see what is around you. Local neighborhoods also have workshops on setting up a compost in your own home.

Shop the outer aisles (通道) of the supermarket

Shopping the outer aisles of the supermarket means that you are buying package-free food. Not only-is this better for the planet, it’s also a healthier option for you and your family. 【4】. Mother Nature has already created her own packaging! No plastic required!Consume less

【5】. See if you can go one week or one month without buying any clothing, beauty items or accessories. Realizing that we have enough and not craving more has been the biggest lesson I’ve learned. This is something you can teach your family as well.

A．Reuse and recycle

B．Put yourself in a no-spending state

C．Set up a processing system that works for you

D．The outer aisles are full of fruits and vegetables

E．I finally felt in control of these seemingly “out of control” issues

F．This is a fun activity that shows we value our precious resources

G．Plastic grocery bags can be replaced with reusable cloth grocery bags

28、Eating too much fat contributes to the risk of stroke (中风) and other heart diseases. However, it’s the type of fat, not the amount, that appears to be more important when it comes to stroke. Eating plant-based fats lowers stroke risk, according to a study presentation given at the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions 2021.

The study, which hasn’t yet been proved by other researchers, found people who ate the most vegetable-based fats were 12% less likely to experience a stroke compared to those who ate the least. On the other hand, people who ate the highest levels of animal-based saturated (饱和) fat were 16% more likely to experience a stroke than those who ate the least fat of that kind. The findings show the type of fat and different food sources of fat are more important than the total amount of fat in preventing certain diseases including stroke.

“You need fat to survive. Fats help your body absorb vitamins from foods, build cells, give you energy and keep you warm. But it’s the unsaturated fats that come from vegetables, nuts and fatty fish that can lower your cholesterol (胆固醇) level and help keep you healthy. Saturated fats are generally not as healthy They mainly come from red and processed meats.

“A proper reduction in red and processed meat consumption within a healthy eating pattern can reduce total death by 13%, heart disease death by 14%, cancer death by 11% and type 2 diabetes risk by 24%,” said Dr. Frank Hu, one of the authors of the stroke study.

Interestingly, dairy fat was not associated with a higher risk of stroke, the study found. There has been an ongoing debate among researchers as to the role of dairy. The diet guidelines for Americans call for three servings of low-and no-fat dairy each day.

【1】What can we learn from the passage?

A．The more fat you take in, the easier you’ll have a stroke.

B．Eating animal-based fats lowers the risk of stroke.

C．The study has been recognized by most researchers.

D．Different food sources of fat have an effect on stroke prevention.

【2】How does Paragraph 2 mainly develop?

A．By making comparisons.

B．By analyzing causes and effects.

C．By providing examples.

D．By following the order of time.

【3】What is the main idea of the passage?

A．The type of fat matters when it comes to stroke.

B．People should eat less red meat to keep healthy.

C．Fat plays an important role in people’s life.

D．Americans need three servings of dairy per day.

【4】Which section of a newspaper does the text probably come from?

A．Environment

B．Technology

C．Health

D．Travel

29、Planning a visit to the UK? Here we help with ways to cut your costs.

AVOID BIG EVENTS Big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room. A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival (19 Oct.) cost ￡169.15 at Booking.com. A week later, the same room cost ￡118.15.

If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid—or you're looking for a big event to pass your time—check out sites such as Whatsonwhen.com, which allow you to search for events in the UK by city, date and category.

STAY AWAY FROM THE STATION If traveling to your destination by train, you may want to find a good base close to the station, but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday.

Don't be too choosy about the part of town you stay in. Booking two months in advance, the cheapest room at Travelodge's Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September was ￡95.95. A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was ￡75.75. And at Farringdon, a double room cost just ￡62.95.

LOOK AFTER YOURSELF Really central hotels in cities such as London, Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune, especially at weekends and during big events. As an alternative consider checking into a self－catering flat with its own kitchen. Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city centre buildings. A great example is the historic O'Neill Flat on Edinburgh's Royal Mile, available for ￡420 for five days in late September, with room for four adults.

GET ON A BIKE London's “Boris bikes” have attracted the most attention, but other cities also have similar programmes that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace, saving you on public transport or car parking costs.

Among the smaller cities with their own programmes are Newcastle (casual members pay around ￡1.50 for two hours) and Cardiff (free for up to 30 minutes, or ￡5 per day)．

31、Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Today, the events 【1】 in realistic-looking or-sounding video and audio recordings need never have happened. They can instead be 【2】 automatically, by powerful computers and machine-learning software. The catch-all term for these computational productions is “deepfakes”.

The term first appeared on Reddit, a messaging board, as the username for an account which was producing 【3】 videos. An entire community 【4】 up around the creation of these videos, writing software tools that let anyone automatically 【5】 one person’s face onto the body of another. Reddit shut the community down, but the technology was out there. Soon it was being applied to political 【6】 and actors.

Tools for editing media 【7】 have existed for decades—think Photoshop. The power and peril of deepfakes is that they make fakery cheaper than ever before. Before deepfakes, a powerful computer and a good chunk of a university degree were needed to produce a realistic fake video of someone. Now some photos and an Internet connection are all that is required.

The consequences of cheap, widespread fakery are likely to be 【8】, albeit slow to unfold. Plenty worry about the possible impact that believable, fake footage of politicians might have on civil society—from a further loss of trust in media to the 【9】 for electoral distortions. These technologies could also be deployed against softer targets: it might be used, for instance, to bully classmates by creating imagery of them in embarrassing situations. In a world that was already saturated with 【10】 imagery, deepfakes make it plausible to push that even further.

32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

I remember the hot summer when we discovered ice cream sandwiches at the corner store. They were ten cents a piece, a lot of money back then. I don’t remember how we came to buy one and taste it, but we were mad after that. Of course, none of us had any money. Whether we rode our bikes, or played ball, or sat and played cards, we talked and dreamed about those soft, creamy sandwiches.

My dad worked nights, coming home to join us for breakfast, and then sleeping till late afternoon. When he came home one morning, I heard the jingle (叮当声) of change in his pants and something ugly slowly came into my mind. All day long I kept coming into the house and listening at his door. When I heard his seeping sounds, I Cracked the door And there hanging at the foot of the bed were those pants. I sipped in and took a handful of change. It was enough for my friends and me to eat like greedy pigs. And I became a hero to my band of friends.

That went on every day for about two weeks. I had gotten good at slipping in and sipping out, and then ran to my friends and we headed to the store.

One day there was no change in dad’s pocket so I felt hesitated a moment, then took out two whole dollars. I had been okay. with taking the change, but those dollars made my face hot. Even before we began enjoying sandwiches, my stomach felt sick. The importance and joy I had felt buying for my friends was gone. If dad knew what I had done, he’d kill me.
