21、A group of scientists trained dogs to detect(发现)a crop disease called citrus greening. The disease has affected orange, lemon and grapefruit trees in the American states of Florida, California and Texas. The dogs can detect the disease weeks to years before it appears on tree leaves and roots, the researchers report. Using dogs is also faster, less costly and more exact than having people collect hundreds of leaves for lab analysis.
Timothy Gottwald is a researcher in the study. He said, “This technology is thousands of years old — the dog's nose. We’ve just trained dogs to hunt new prey:the bacteria that cause a very damaging crop disease.”
Citrus greening is caused by a kind of bacteria that are spread by a tiny insect that feeds on the leaves and stems of citrus trees. Once a tree is infected(感染),there is' no cure. The disease has also hurt citrus crops in Central and South America and Asia. In one experiment involving grapefruit trees in Texas, trained dogs were correct 95 percent of the time in telling the difference between newly infected trees and healthy ones. “The earlier you detect the disease, the better chance you have at stopping healthy trees being infected by removing infected ones,” Gottwald said.
Professor Matteo Garbelotto says the new research shows that dogs can detect an infection well before present methods. He has been involved in similar research but had no part in the new study.
Laura Sims is a plant scientist. She praised the steps taken to find out if the dogs were detecting the bacteria itself or a plant's reaction to an infection. To do that, the researchers infected different kinds of unrelated plants with the bacteria in a laboratory. The dogs were still able to pick out the infected plants.
Gottwald said, "You've seen dogs working in airports, detecting drugs and explosives. Maybe soon you will see them working on more farms."
【1】What does the text say about citrus greening?
A.It mainly damages tree branches.
B.It' s impossible to detect at an early stage.
C.Dogs can better detect it than humans.
D.Humans have to analyze tree roots to detect it.
【2】How does a dog detect citrus greening?
A.By tasting.
B.By touching.
C.By observing.
D.By Sniffing.
【3】Early detection of citrus greening enables farmers to ______.
A.help infected trees to recover
B.keep it from spreading further
C.improve the quality of fruit.
D.better protect infected trees
【4】Which of the following statements reflects Gottwald's opinion?
A.Dogs will take the place of humans to conduct risky jobs.
B.Trained dogs make no mistakes in citrus greening detection.
C.Dogs use plants' reaction to an infection to help with their detection.
D.Using dogs for citrus greening detection will be more widespread.
22、Instead of getting the latest video game system or meeting a celebrity, a young boy who was diagnosed with a life-threatening illness last year has used his Make-A-Wish opportunity to help the homeless in his community.
Abraham and his mother, Miriam, have a passion for taking care of the homeless around their neighborhood in Jackson, Mississippi. The pair have a history of providing food to the needy every third Saturday, and they recently got added help from the Make-A-Wish foundation in Mississippi after he was diagnosed with a rare disease, aplastic anemia, in 2020.
The condition causes the body to stop producing enough new blood cells, leaving patients exhausted and easier to suffer infection and uncontrolled bleeding. Abraham later experienced a successful bone marrow transplant (骨髓移植) and found out he was qualified to have one of his dreams fulfilled by Make-A-Wish. It didn’t take long for Abraham to think of the perfect choice. He would continue the mission that was important to him and his mom. With the help of the foundation, Abraham fed about 80 people in Jackson in September.
When the homeless people got the plate, some of them would come back and sing to them and thank them. “And it just really feels good; it warms our hearts. And my parents always taught me that it’s a blessing to be a blessing,” Abraham said.
Not only that, but Make-A-Wish said they would help Abraham feed the homeless in Jackson every third Saturday until August 2022, ensuring that he could help even more people in need.
Abraham did receive a few gifts from Make-A-Wish, including a new laptop, a ring light, and a microphone to help him start a channel on a social media platform. He also plans to start a non-profit called “Abraham’s Table” to continue his mission.
【1】How often do Abraham and his mom offer food to those in need?
A.At least once a day.
B.At least once a week.
C.At least once a year.
D.At least once a month.
【2】What can we infer about Abraham from paragraph 3?
A.He is doing what he wants to.
B.He has been completely cured.
C.He decided to support his family.
D.He got a mission from an organization.
【3】What does Abraham mean to do?
A.Send more Make-A-Wish cards.
B.Start a public welfare program.
C.Join a non-profit organization.
D.Feed the homeless every Saturday.
【4】Which of the following can best describe Abraham?
A.Determined and patient.
B.Ambitious and creative.
C.Imaginative and practical.
D.Caring and considerate.
23、
Supermarket packaging often contains common English words that are oddly confusing. Here’s what you need to know to safeguard your health.
Imitation
A food that simulates another food but isn’t made of the same stuff is an imitation, right? Not quite. It should be labeled imitation only if it has a lower amount of protein or some other essential nutrient than the food it’s copying.
Free
Packages bearing the words fat-, sugar-, or sodium-free may still contain trace amounts of those substances. The FDA evaluates these terms according to a typical portion size known as an RACC (reference amounts customarily consumed per eating occasion). An RACC of eggnog, for example, is a half cup, and for croutons, it’s 7 g. To be labeled free of calories, a food should have fewer than 5 calories per RACC; to qualify as fat- or sugar free, less than 0.5 g per RACC; and to be labeled sodium-free, fewer than 5 mg per RACC.
Reduced/Less
Don’t be fooled: Just because a product claims to have reduced fat or to contain less sugar doesn’t mean it’s low in the stuff you should avoid in excess(过量). Such terms just mean the amount is lower than usual; the food might not meet the standard for low at all. These phrases indicate a relational claim compared with a reference food. The reduced substance (for example, total fat, sugar, etc.) should be at least 25 percent less per RACC than the amount in an appropriate reference food.
【1】According to the passage, the food should be labeled __________.
A.imitation when it has as much essential nutrient as the copied food
B.sugar free if the sugar is fewer than 5 mg per RACC
C.reduced fat if it is indeed low in the stuff you should avoid in excess
D.reduced sugar if it is 30 % less per RACC than the amount in the reference food
【2】The passage is intended to __________.
A.explain some words on packaging
B.remind us of tricky words on food labels
C.suggest ways to protect your health consciously
D.point out mistaken labels requiring to be improved
