26、If you bought some candy months ago but never ate it, how can you tell whether it is still safe to eat? The easiest way is to check the “use-by date” printed on the wrapper. If that date has already passed, you’re likely to throw the candy away.

But is that really necessary?According to a new report from the US Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), tons of food is wasted each year, largely because people don't fully understand what expiration （截止日期）dates, or “use-by dates”, actually mean.

Food dating was introduced in the 1970s because consumers wanted more information about the things that they were eating. When they first showed up, use-by dates were only supposed to indicate freshness because producers wanted their products to be tasted in their best conditions.

But the truth is that these dates aren't related to the risk of food poisoning or food borne illness, according to Time News. However, most customers misinterpreted use-by dates and related them to the safety of the food, and they still largely do now. Eggs, for example, can still be eaten three to five weeks after purchase even though the use-by date is much earlier. When their use-by dates pass, strawberry flavored drinks may lose their red color and biscuits may lose their crunch (松脆), but they are not harmful.

“It's a confusing subject, the difference between food quality and food safety，” said Jena Roberts, vice president of National Food Lab, a US food testing company. “Even in the food industry I have colleagues who get confused.”

This is why scientists are calling for a standard explanation to be printed following the use-by dates. “We want this to be clearly communicated so consumers are not misunderstanding the data and contributing to a lot of waste,” said Dana Gunders, a staff scientist with the NRDC.

But this won't be a mistake that is easy to correct since people have believed it for so long . Another problem is that the quality levels of different foods change differently—some are still safe to eat long after their use-by date while others are not..

As a result, food industry officials are now thinking of changing the use-by date to a date indicating when food is most likely to go bad.

【1】The use-by date was first intended to ________.

A．show the safety of food

B．give a warning of food poisoning

C．tell the freshness of food.

D．indicate the relation between food and illness

【2】The underlined word “misinterpreted” in Paragraph 4 probably means ________.

A．made guesses about

B．formed a wrong idea about

C．made wrong use of

D．took no notice of

【3】Which of the following is TRUE?

A．Most customers understand what use-by dates mean.

B．“Use-by dates” have existed for more than 50 years.

C．Biscuits can't be eaten when not as crunchy as they are bought.

D．Even after their use-by dates pass, some foods are still safe to eat.

【4】Scientists are calling for a standard explanation to be printed together with the use-by dates because ________.

A．use-by dates are not helpful or reliable

B．most consumers often misunderstand use-by dates

C．more consumers get worried about food safety

D．the quality level of different foods changes differently

27、You may think that sailing is a difficult sport, but it is really not hard to learn it. You do not need to be strong. But you need to be quick. And you need to understand a few basic rules about the wind.

First, you must ask yourself, “Where is the wind coming from? Is it coming from ahead or behind or from the side?” You must think about this all the time on the boat. The wind direction tells you what to do with the sail.

Let’s start with the wind blowing from the behind. This means the wind and the boat are going in the same direction. Then you must always keep the sail outside the boat. It should be at a 90° angle (角度) to the boat. Then it will catch the wind best.

If the wind is blowing from the side, it is blowing across the boat. In this case, you must keep the sail half way outside the boat. It should be at a 45° angle to the boat. It needs to be out far enough to catch the wind, but it shouldn’t flap (摆动). It shouldn’t look like on a flagpole. If it is flapping, it is probably out too far, and the boat will slow down.

Sailing into the wind is not possible. If you try, the sail will flap and the boat will stop. You may want to go in that direction. It is possible, but you can’t go in a straight line. You must go first in one direction and then in another. This is called tacking. When you are tacking, you must always keep the sail inside the boat.

【1】What should you consider first while sailing?

A．Sailors’ strength.

B．Wave levels.

C．Wind directions.

D．Size of sails.

【2】What does the word “It” underlined in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A．The boat.

B．The wind.

C．The sail.

D．The angle.

【3】What do you have to do when sailing against the wind?

A．Move in a straight line.

B．Allow the sail to flap.

C．Lower the sail.

D．Tack the boat.

【4】Where can you probably find the text?

A．In a popular magazine.

B．In a tourist guidebook.

C．In a physics textbook.

D．In an official report.

28、From baking pumpkin pie to celebrating the moon, here’s how autumn is celebrated across the globe. 

The Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the biggest and most widely celebrated harvest festivals in the world. It is held on the 15th day of the eighth month in the Chinese lunar calendar. In many Asian countries including China, the festival is celebrated as a public holiday, with families gathering and giving thanks for the harvest and full moon.

Oktoberfest is another major autumn celebration that, while originating in Germany, has inspired local versions around the globe. The world’s largest folk festival begins in September and runs for about two weeks, featuring traditional Bavarian food, music, clothing, and most importantly, lots of beer!

Thanksgiving is also an important celebration for Americans that takes place in late November every year, with seasonal dishes like yams smothered and pumpkin pies always having a place at the Thanksgiving dinner table. Walks, hikes and trips to see the changing foliage are also hugely popular, with locations like Asheville and North Carolina, boasting of some of the most beautiful autumn scenery around.

There are also several cultural and religious events that occur throughout October and November. Dia de Los Muertos, on the 1st and 2nd November, is a Mexican celebration that honours the lives of those who have passed away with food, drinks and activities that those loved ones enjoyed when they were alive. Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights, is another spiritual celebration of the victory of light over darkness, and good over evil, which falls on 14th November. Lighting candles all around the house and hoping for health and wealth are the chief rituals of the festival.

【1】Which festival features food and trips?

A．The Mid-Autumn Festival.

B．Oktoberfest.

C．Thanksgiving.

D．Dia de Los Muertos

【2】What will people do on Oktoberfest festival?

A．They will enjoy full moon.

C．They will eat pumpkin pies.

29、Do you think horseback riding is easy? Well, you are wrong. Horseback riding is one of the most challenging sports in the world today.

As you know, a horse has the instinct to run away when afraid. When he becomes puzzled, he becomes afraid. When your silent communication is confusing, he does not ask you to repeat what you have said. Instead, he runs forward, he jumps to the side, he kicks out, or he freezes in place. Most of the time, however, you won’t know your communication is confusing until it is too late. When he runs forward, you will fall back. When he jumps to side, you will fall the other way. When he kicks out or freezes in place, you will fly over his head.

If you want to be good at horseback riding, you must practice. Being ridden does not come naturally to horses. They have to be trained. For example, to ask them to go forward, you usually tap them with your heels. But, if you get on untrained horses, they won’t know that a tap means go. Instead, they will most likely run around like a wild animal out of fear.

Contrary to popular belief, horseback riding does take skill. If you believe horseback riding doesn’t take skill, you most likely have only ridden at a farm that provides a well-trained horse. To me, that is not actual riding. And although it may seem easy to you, you were not the person to teach that horse that a saddle is not frightening. You were not the person to fall off that same horse at the beginning of his training. When horses are first taught to be ridden, all they do is run, kick out, and rear, which is the act of standing on their back legs only.

【1】What does the underlined word “confusing” in paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. embarrassing   B. puzzling

C. exciting   D. interesting

【2】In paragraph 3, the author uses the example to ________.

A. show horses for horseback riding need training

B. prove it is hard to master horseback riding skills

C. prove communication is important in horseback riding

D. show some horses can’t be trained

【3】According to the last paragraph, most people believe that ________.

A. training a horse is easy

B. horseback riding is interesting

C. riding a well-trained horse isn’t actual riding

D. horseback riding doesn’t take skill

【4】The text is most probably taken from ________.

A. a newspaper report   B. a biology textbook

C. a sports magazine   D. a research paper

30、The sound of the music floated through the ruins of the school corridor. Its _________ melody filled the empty classrooms.

Like millions across the city, I woke up to the sound of the _________ last night. I remembered waking up, my body trembling with _________.

On the street, many _________ in panic without warm clothes overnight, some still wearing just their pajamas.

The next morning, I looked out of the window and saw the _________ of my school. Although my family had already packed necessary belongings for evacuation (撤离), I decided to help clean the classrooms where I had studied for the last 10 years before leaving. I wasn’t _________ to come to the school at first, as I worried that there could be more dangers. But thinking of the fact that the place where I had my most vivid childhood memories was a bomb crater, my fear turned into __________.

It was the war that left millions of children without __________ to education, security and a happy childhood. What was supposed to be a place of __________ and hope became a shaky and __________ shell. Only the piano was left behind, which I had planned to play at my graduation ceremony. But the war __________ any hope of celebration.

Finishing the song, I silently stood up and slowly walked away. “How I wish my school could be __________ soon. I really want peace to come. I will work on my knowledge harder. This is my frontline fight.” Whispering these words to myself, I waved goodbye to my school.

31、

Attitudes toward new technologies often fall along generational lines. That is, generally, younger people tend to 【1】 older people on the front end of a technological shift.

It is not always the case, though. When you look at attitudes toward driverless cars, there doesn't seem to be a clear 【2】 divide. The public overall is split on whether they'd like to use a driverless car. In a study last year, of all people surveyed, 48 percent said they wanted to ride in one, while 50 percent did not.

The fact that attitudes toward self-driving cars appear to be so 【3】 across generations suggests how transformative the shift to driverless cars could be. Not everyone wants a driverless car now-and no one can get one vet-but among those who are open to them, every age group is 【4】 engaged.

Actually, this isn't surprising. Whereas older generations are sometimes reluctant to adopt new technologies, driverless cars 【5】 real value to these age groups, especially to those with 【6】 mobility or difficulty driving on their own.

This is especially interesting when you consider that younger people are generally more interested in travel-related 【7】 than older ones.

When it comes to driverless cars, differences in attitude are more 【8】 based on factors not related to age. College graduates, for example, are particularly interested in driverless cars compared with those who have less education：59 percent of college graduates said they would like to use a driverless car compared with 38 percent of those with a high-school diploma or less.

Where a person lives 【9】 too. More people who lived in cities and suburbs said they wanted to try driverless cars than those who lived in rural areas.

While there's reason to believe that interest in self-driving cars is going up across the board, a person's age will have little to do with how self-driving cars can become 【10】. Once driverless cars are actually available for sale, the early adopters will be the people who can afford to buy them.
