27、The “Give It Up for Earth Day” encourages people to commit to giving up actions that are harmful to the environment, such as using poisonous cleaners.

Throughout the month of April, Canadians are being asked to “Give It Up for Earth Day！” Earth Day has been celebrated every year on April 22 since 1970. Earth Day Canada president Jed Goldberg says that as people become more environmentally aware, they want to find ways to reduce their environmental influence, not just celebrate one special event.

“Earth Day is a great launching_pad for thinking about environmental action   every day，” said Goldberg. “Choosing healthier options, even for the short term,   can lead to thinking about the influence of our decisions for a lifetime.”

That's the reason behind the “Give It Up for Earth Day” campaign.  It's designed to encourage healthy habits that benefit people and the planet. It challenges everyone to help create a healthier world by making changes in their daily routine.

“We wanted to plan an actiontargeted campaign that will give people a chance to act on their concern for the environment in a positive way，” said Goldberg.

The campaign has identified four daily actions that can add up to huge environmental savings. They include pledging (保证) to turn off the TV, give up the use of poisonous cleaners, reduce consumption of consumer products and cut out meat.

At the end of April, all of the pledges will be recorded and converted (转化) into the number of TV hours not watched, dollars not spent on unnecessary items, electricity saved, greenhouse gas emissions (排放) avoided by cutting out meat, and poisonous chemicals produced from homes and landfills.

“What we're trying to achieve this year for Earth Day is to give people a chance to do something that is meaningful and measurable，” said Goldberg.

【1】The aim of the campaign mentioned in the passage is to ________.

A. enable people to save more money for future use

B. help people develop environmentally friendly habits

C. prevent people from making changes in their daily routine

D. warn people against reducing consumption of consumer products

【2】The underlined word “launching pad” (in Paragraph 3) probably means “________”．

A. starting point   B. finishing line

C. exchanging stage   D. reforming stage

【3】We can conclude from the passage that ________.

B. short term decisions will by no means influence our lives

C. Earth Day Canada is actually an everyday environmental action

D. daily actions must be measured to benefit the environment

【4】Which disagrees with the spirit of “Give It Up for Earth Day”？

A. Switching off TV.

28、When “irregardless” was included in Merriam-Webster dictionary, it caused wide disagreements. “Irregardless” has been in widespread and near-constant use since 1795, when a newspaper called The Charleston City Gazelle of Charleston Ga first used it. “We do not make the English language, and we merely record it,” the dictionary’s staff wrote in “Words of the Week”.

The word’s definition, when we read it, would seem to be without regard. However, Merriam-Webster defines “irregardless” as “nonstandard” but meaning the same as “regardless”. According to Merriam-Webster, “Many people find ‘irregardless’ to be a ridiculous word, as the ir-prefix usually indicates negative meaning; however, in this case it appears to make the meaning of ‘regardless’ stronger.”

“It’s not a real word. I don’t care what the dictionary says.” responds author Michelle Ray, who teaches English in Silver Spring, Md. And she says she’s still planning to mark “irregardless” as incorrect on her students’ work.

An American newspaper the Baltimore Sun published the word in editor John McIntyre’s commentary on Saturday: “‘Irregardless is too a word; you just don’t understand dictionaries. People get upset about the dictionary because they think it is some sort of official document. But actually, it’s not. It’s just lexicographers identifying words that people use and trying to find out how they are spelled, how they are pronounced, what meanings they have and where they came from.”

“The dictionary’s recognition doesn’t enroll a word as correct in the English language,” McIntyre says. “It just says this is a word that a lot of people use in English. And here’s what we know about it.” So it’s a word, but its use is still discouraged in formal writing.

【1】What’s the function of the first paragraph?

A．To lead in the topic.

B．To criticize the use of “irregardless”.

C．To introduce a new word.

D．To make a definition of “irregardless”.

【2】What can we learn from the passage?

A．The dictionary’s staff rarely record the English language.

B．Michelle Ray thinks the use of “irregardless” formal but incorrect.

C．People are still not encouraged to use “irregardless” in formal writing.

D．“Irregardless” had been in widespread and near-constant use before 1975.

【3】What is the attitude of McIntyre to the appearance of “irregardless” in Merriam-Webster dictionary?

A．Conservative.

B．Favorable.

C．Indifferent.

D．Ambiguous.

【4】What can be the best title for the passage?

A．“Irregardless” Is Frequently Used in Formal Writing

B．“Irregardless” Shouldn’t Be Included in the Dictionary

C．Experts Can’t Agree on the Meaning of “Irregardless”

D．Regardless of What You Think, “Irregardless” Is a Word

29、As soon as it was said that a reporter for Progressive magazine had discovered how to make a hydrogen bomb, a group of firearm fans formed the National Hydrogen Bomb Association, and they are now trying to persuade the politicians to stop Americans from owning one.

“The Constitution,” said the association’s spokesman, “gives everyone the right to own arms. It doesn’t spell out what kind of arms. But since anyone can now make a hydrogen bomb, the public should be able to buy it to protect themselves.”

“Don’t you think it’s dangerous to have one in the house, particularly where there are children around?”

“The National Hydrogen Bomb Association hopes to educate people in the safe handling of this type of weapon. We are instructing owners to keep the bomb in a locked closet and the fuse separately in a drawer.”

“Some people consider the hydrogen bomb a very fatal weapon which could kill somebody.” The spokesman said, “Hydrogen bombs don't kill people—people kill people. The bomb is for self-protection and it also has a deterrent effect. If somebody knows you have a nuclear weapon in your house, they’re going to think twice about breaking in.”

“But those who want to ban the bomb for American citizens claim that if you have one locked in the closet, with the fuse in a drawer, you would never be able to get it together in time to stop an intruder.”

“Another argument against allowing people to own a bomb is that at the moment it is very expensive to build one. So what your association is backing is a program which would allow the middle and upper classes to acquire a bomb while poor people will be left defenseless with just handguns.”

【1】Some people oppose the ownership of H-bombs by individuals on the grounds that ________.

A．the size of the bomb makes it difficult to keep in a drawer

B．most people don't know how to handle the weapon

C．people's lives will be threatened by the weapon

D．they may fall into the hands of criminals

【2】By saying that the bomb also has a deterrent effect the spokesman means that it ________.

A．will frighten away any possible intruders

B．can show the special status of its owners

C．will threaten the safety of the owners as well

D．can kill those entering others' houses by force

【3】According to the passage, opponents of the private ownership of H-bombs are very much worried that ________.

A．the influence of the association is too powerful for the less privileged to overcome

B．poorly-educated Americans will find it difficult to make use of the weapon

C．the wide use of the weapon will push up living expenses tremendously

D．the cost of the weapon will put citizens on an unequal basis

【4】From the tone of the passage we know that the author is ________.

A．doubtful about the necessity of keeping H-bombs at home for safety

B．unhappy with those who vote against the ownership of H-bombs

C．not serious about the private ownership of H-bombs

D．concerned about the spread of nuclear weapons

30、   This is Warsaw, where lunch is usually a slab of meat with a side order of sausage. But at Krowarzywa — which means “cow alive” and _______ the word warzywa, meaning vegetables — no animals were harmed in the making of food. The bestselling “vegan pastrami” is made of seitan, a wheat-based meat _______.

Warsaw has almost 50 vegan restaurants. That does not mean it has all that many vegans. Kassia, a 20-something professional in the queue, says she has no ethical _______ to eating meat. She comes to Krowarzywa because she likes the food. Kornel Kisala, the head chef, thinks that most of Krowarzywa’s clients eat meat, but it does not worry him. “Animals don’t _______ whether you eat a vegan burger because it is fashionable or because it is tasty.” According to the survey, 60% of people _______ say they plan to cut back on meat this year. Eating vegetarian and vegan meals now and then is one of the ways some choose to do so.

Two years ago Eric Schmidt, a Silicon Valley figure, called plant-based meat substitutes the world’s most important future technology, he foresaw them improving people’s health, reducing environmental degradation and making food more _______ for the poor. The founder of the first vegan society said in 1944 that “In time people will view with disgust the idea that men once fed on the products of animals’ bodies.” Ever since the number of people _______ his hope has been increasing. Perhaps their time is coming at last.

If so, it is a _______ coming. Meat consumption worldwide has been _______ consistently by almost 3% a year since 1960, mostly because people get richer. In the early 1970s the average Chinese person, __________, ate 14 kg (31lb) of meat a year. Now they eat 55 kg a year.

In America, Nielsen found in 2017 that 3% of the population called themselves vegans and 6% vegetarians(people who avoid meat, but eat eggs and/or dairy products). But more detailed research by Faunalytics puts the numbers at just 0.5% for vegans and 3. 4% for vegetarians. Fully a quarter of 25-to 34-year-olds in America claim to be either vegan or vegetarian, __________ studies by Faunalyties find the median age of American vegans to be 42. It seems that a fair amount of ambitious self-discipline, terminological inexactitude (术语的不准确) or simple hypocrisy (伪善) is at play.

Overall, though, it seems __________ to say that the number of people sometimes or regularly choosing to eat vegan food is growing much faster than the growth in people deeply __________ to a meat-free life. Patrice Bula, a vice president at Nestle, says that a __________ proportion of the people buying his company’s vegan meals are true vegetarians or vegans. People in this larger group are often called “flexible vegetarians”, who __________ back and forth between omnivorous (杂食的) and vegetable diets. The true vegan trend lies in casual, part time veganism.

31、

When it comes to food coloring, why should we have to prove just exactly how and why the substance causes a negative effect on the people who consume it before we can 【1】 it ? If this were a necessary or meaningful food ingredient (材料) in any way, sure, that would be a reasonable standard. But food coloring has no nutritional value. Why are we 【2】 it?

Most likely because it helps companies sell products. Pretty food pays off because aesthetics (美学) in food does 【3】. We have relied on 【4】 cues (暗示) for thousands of years to help us determine what is edible, nutritious, and safe to eat. Man has adapted to appreciating natural colors, including a varity of green, red, pink, orange, yellow, and purple produce. Colors 【5】 that food is ripe (成熟的) or that it contains healthy compounds. Because of that 【6】 background, color is money for food manufacturers. Children are especially attracted to a variety of bright, vibrant colors and succumb to (屈从于) targeted marketing.

Food aesthetics can also affect how we look at taste. In one study, when subjects were given sugar water in different 【7】 of red, they reported that the deep red drinks tasted sweeter than the light red ones. We’ve been programmed to expected certain things from certain colors. Another study showed people had a harder time 【8】 drink flavors when the drinks did not have the expected colors. We expected what nature has taught us, and even though our food system has changed dramatically in the past several decades, our expectations have yet to 【9】 up. Food companies can instead use this knowledge to 【10】 us and make their processed products appear more delicious.
