26、 Recently, Whitewater Middle School students in the US looked at 200 pounds (90.7 kg) of food. Their classmates threw it away after a meal in the cafeteria. They found the remains of pizzas. They saw untouched green salads and pieces of bread bitten only once. It was,they said, both disgusting and educational.
"You don't realize how much food waste you're making till you see it," said student Cody Gist.
To deal with this problem, Whitewater added environmental science as a school-wide program this year. Teachers are guiding their students through research on the ways food is linked to environment, poverty, and people's health.
The school changed to compostable (可用作堆肥的)paper trays (托盘)as well. Working with Every Tray Counts, a US nonprofit group, the school hopes for a change from disposable trays to compostable paper trays.
This isn't just an exercise at school. Whitewater is joining a network of schools, businesses and neighborhoods. They try to make composting as mainstream as recycling.
"The larger issue is protection of landfill (垃圾填埋场)space," said Laurette Hall, an environmental management official. The area has enough space to last for maybe 25 more years, she said. That isn't as much as it sounds in such a rapidly growing area.
Principal Beth Thompson said students advise each other on new ways to deal with trash.
"Students understand why it matters so not one student refused to do extra work when throwing away their waste," Thompson said.
Whitewater teachers make sure students know how their own eating habits are part of bigger problems. In environmental literature class, students read books such as Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All-American Meal.
Mollie Lyman works with several language arts classrooms. Their classes discuss such issues as how poor neighborhoods often have less access (使用权)to healthy food.
Lyman says she wants students to ask some basic questions: "What do we eat? What do we waste?”
【1】Why did Whitewater Middle School students look at the food?
A.To prepare students for the environmental science course.
B.To find out the calories of different kinds of food.
C.To see how food was connected with other problems.
D.To check what foods were most popular among students.
【2】What measures did Whitewater Middle School take?
① Introducing a new course about the environment.
② Using compostable paper trays in the cafeteria.
③ Setting up a group called Every Tray Counts.
④ Joining others to make composting common.
A.①②④ B.①②③ C.①③④ D.②③④
【3】What did Laurette Hall worry about?
A.People don't want to protect landfill space.
B.Students don't know how to recycle trash.
C.There won't be enough landfill space in the future.
D.Students don't understand the waste problem.
【4】What is the purpose of the article?
A.To tell readers how important it is to save food.
B.To share how a US school is making an effort for the environment.
C.To encourage schools to have environmental protection classes.
D.To call on students to care about poor people.
27、Throughout the history of the arts, the nature of creativity has remained constant to artists. No matter what objects they select, artists are to bring forth new forces and forms that cause change---to find poetry where no one has ever seen or experienced it before.
Landscape (风景) is another unchanging element of art. It can be found from ancient times through the17th-century Dutch painters to the 19th-century romanticists and impressionists. In the 1970s Alfred Leslie, one of the new American realists, continued this practice. Leslie sought out the same place where ThomasCole, a romanticist, had produced paintings of the same scene a century and a half before. Unlike Cole who insists on a feeling of loneliness and the idea of finding peace in nature, Leslie paints what he actually sees. In his paintings, there is no particular change in emotion, and he includes ordinary things like the highway in the background. He also takes advantage of the latest developments of color photography to help both the eye and the memory when he improves his painting back in his workroom.
Besides, all art begs the age-old question: What is real? Each generation of artists has shown their understanding of reality in one form or another. The impressionists saw reality in brief emotional effects, the realists in everyday subjects and in forest scenes, and the Cro-Magnon cave people in their naturalistic drawings of the animals in the ancient forests. To sum up, understanding reality is a necessary struggle for artists of all periods.
Over thousands of years the function of the arts has remained relatively constant. Past or present, Eastern or Western, the arts are a basic part of our immediate experience. Many and different are the faces of art, and together they express the basic need and hope of human beings.

【3】What is the author’s opinion of artistic reality?
A.It will not be found in future works of art.

D.It is lacking in modern works of art.
【4】Which of the following is the main topic of the passage?
A.History of the arts.
B.Use of modern technology in the arts.
C.New developments in the arts.
D.Basic questions of the arts.
28、Living in an urban area with green spaces has a long-lasting positive influence on people's mental well-being, a study has suggested. UK researchers found moving to a green space had a lasting positive effect, unlike pay rises or promotions, which only provided a short-term boost.
Co-author Mathew White, from the European Centre for Environment and Human Health at the University of Exeter, UK, explained that the study showed people living in greener urban areas were displaying fewer signs of depression or anxiety. "There could be a number of reasons," he said, "for example, people do many things to make themselves happier: they try hard for promotion or pay rises, or they get married. But the trouble with all those things is that within six months to a year, people are back to their original baseline levels of well-being. So, these things don't make us happy in the long term. We found that for some lottery (彩票) winners who had won more than $500,000 the positive effect was definitely there, but after six months to a year, they were back to the baseline."
Dr. White said his team wanted to see whether living in greener urban areas had a lasting positive effect on people's sense of well-being or whether the effect also disappeared after a period of time. To do this, the team used data from the British Household Panel Survey by the University of Essex.
Explaining what the data revealed, he said: "What you see is that even after three years, mental health is still better, which is unlike many of the other things that we think will make us happy." He observed that people living in green spaces were less stressed, and less stressed people made more sensible decisions and communicated better.
With a growing body of evidence establishing a link between urban green spaces and a positive influence on human well-being. Dr. White said, “There's growing interest among public policy officials, but the trouble is who funds it. What we really need at a policy level is to decide where the money will come from to help support good quality local green spaces.”
【1】According to one study, what do green spaces do to people?
A.Help them build a positive attitude towards life.
B.Lessen their concerns about material well-being.
C.Improve their work efficiency.
D.Add to their lasting happiness.
【2】What does Dr. White try to find out about living in a greener urban area?
A.How long its positive effect lasts.
B.How strong its effect is.
C.How it affects different people.
D.How it benefits physically.
【3】What did Dr. White research reveal about people living in a green environment?
A.Their memories were greatly strengthened.
B.Their stress was more obvious than real.
C.Their communication with others improved.
D.Their decisions required less consideration.
【4】According to Dr. White, what should the government do to build more green spaces in cities?
A.Improve urban planning.
B.Find financial support.
C.Raise public awareness of the issue.
D.Involve local residents in the effort.
29、While most of us are familiar with the fun and excitement of taking a vacation with family or friends, far fewer people have set out on a holiday by themselves. There are plenty of benefits to plan a solo(单独的) travel as your next getaway. 【1】 We've got a whole list of reasons why you should consider travelling alone.
• You' re in charge of the itinerary(行程)
Did you ever have the unfortunate experience of being dragged to a crowded tourist trap with your family or miss out on a one-of-a-kind destination because none of your friends were interested? That all goes out the window when you're in complete control of the itinerary. 【2】 Travelling solo provides the perfect opportunity to visit the sequestered(隐蔽的) sites you've had marked on a map for years.
• Plenty of chances to meet new people
When visiting a new place alone, you really have no choice but to communicate with new people. 【3】 Locals not only have insider information that you won't find in a guidebook, but speaking with someone native to the country is a great way to learn about their culture.
• Expand your comfort zone
【4】 Between practicing your real-world conversation skills in a foreign language and trying unfamiliar food, travelling alone forces you to face a variety of new situations. When you only have yourself to rely on, you have a real opportunity to learn what you're capable of.
• A chance to stop and reflect
Whether you plan on getting close to nature or just spending an afternoon daydreaming at a sidewalk cafe, travelling alone offers a unique chance to pause and see things from a new view. Add in the experience of a new culture and the chance to interact with people of different backgrounds. 【5】
