26、   Recently, Whitewater Middle School students in the US looked at 200 pounds (90.7kg) 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 (一次性的) trays to compostable paper trays.

This isn’t just an exercise at school. Whitewater is joining a network of schools, business and neighborhoods. They try to make composting as mainstream as recycling.

“The larger issue is protection of landfill 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 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 see how food was connected with other problems.

B.To find out the calories of different kinds of food.

C.To check what foods were most popular among students.

D.To prepare students for the environmental science course.

【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.①②③ B.②③④ C.①②④ D.①③④

【3】What did Laurette Hall worry about?

A.People don’t want to protect landfill space.

B.There won’t be enough landfill space in the future.

C.Students don’t know how to recycle trash.

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 call on students to care about poor people.

C.To encourage schools to have environmental protection classes.

D.To share how a US school is making an effort for the environment.

28、   No video games are allowed after 10 pm. It is not allowed to play games for more than 90 minutes on non-holidays. No more than 400 yuan per month is allowed to buy virtual weapons and costumes.

The Chinese government has issued new regulations aimed at controlling teenager’s addiction to video games. Some officials believe that this problem is the reason why more and more young people are suffering from myopia (近视) and poor learning. The rules forbid users under the age of 18 from playing between 10 pm and 8 am. The rules demand that they shouldn’t play more than 90 minutes on non-holidays and more than 3 hours on weekends and other holidays.

Officials have taken stronger measures to monitor large technology companies and promote them to help spread the advocated cultural values. The official media regarded some games as “poisons” and banned some violent games. In addition, minors (未成年人) must use real names and ID numbers when they log into the game. These regulations also limit the a-mount of money that teenagers can use to purchase virtual items such as weapons, clothing, and pets through the app.

Analysts said that these regulations have been largely predicted by the industry and are unlikely to affect its earnings. However, young gamers may also find ways to bypass (绕开) the rules, such as using the parent’s phone number and ID number. “There will always be something imperfect,” said Daniel Ahmad, senior analyst at Niko Partners. However, he added that thanks to the regulations, China is now one of the most regulated video game markets in the world.

Yang Bingben is the owner of an industrial technology company. He noticed that his son often plays games that don’t require networking and is difficult to control. “We have something new to replace the games,” he said, “our thinking should be to build more stadiums, such as football stadiums and basketball courts.”

【1】The new regulations will help Chinese teenagers with their ________.

A.intelligence B.personalities

C.study and eyesight D.constitutions and morals

【2】What did Daniel Ahmad think of the regulations?

A.They are adjustable. B.They are effective.

C.They are creative. D.They are worthless.

【3】What can be inferred from Yang Bingben’s words?

A.Teenagers are spending more time in the stadiums.

B.Football and basketball will be popular with teenagers.

C.Getting rid of the addiction to video games is impossible.

D.Doing sports helps prevent teenagers playing video games.

【4】In which section of a newspaper can you read the text?

A.Literature. B.Education.

C.Fashion. D.Sport.

29、   Eating chips, chocolates and cakes may damage a child’s intelligence, according to researchers at Bristol University. Their study suggests a link between diet high in processed(加工的) food and a slightly lower IQ. Writing in the journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, they suggest poor nutrition may affect brain development.

The eating habits of 3,966 children taking part in the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children were recorded at the ages of three, four, seven and eight and a half. The researchers said three types of diet appeared: processed diet which was high in fat, sugar and fast food, traditional diet of meat, potatoes and vegetables, and healthy diet of salads, fruit and fish. The children all took IQ tests when they were eight and a half.

The researchers found a link between IQ and diet, even after taking into consideration other factors such as the mother’s level of education and social class. Diet high in processed food at the age of three was linked to a slightly lower IQ at the age of eight and a half, suggesting early eating habits have a long-term influence. Dr Pauline Emmett, who carried out the study at Bristol University, said, “Brain development is much faster in early life, and it’s when it does most of its growing.”

Although the relationship between diet and IQ was very strong, the influence was quite small. Processed food was linked with IQs only a few points lower. Experts in the field said the results had shown common sense was right. Fiona Ford, spokesperson for the British Dietetic Association, said, “It’s well worth looking at the long-term influence of diet, for everyone’s familiar with the short term. The research agrees with the type of advice we already know, but that’s not always enough. Sometimes a society has to help a person change; we need to educate more young parents about healthy eating.”

【1】All the following can lead to a slightly lower IQ except ___________.

A.birthday cakes B.KFC food

C.chocolates D.fruit salad

【2】The longest period of the research on eating habits might reach ____________.

A.five years and a half B.two years and a half

C.four years and a half D.one year and a half

【3】Which of the following agrees with Fiona Ford’s opinion?

A.The British Dietetic Association has a duty to encourage young parents to adopt healthy diet.

B.The research has shown the short-term influence of diet.

C.The British Dietetic Association has predicted the results of the research.

D.Diet affects people’s intelligence greatly.

【4】What does the passage mainly talk about?

A.Healthy food makes children grow rapidly.

B.Processed food reduces children’s intelligence.

C.Eating habits change children’s intelligence.

D.Proper diet makes children wise and healthy.

A huge milestone has just been reached in the field of artificial intelligence: AlphaGo, a program developed by Google’s DeepMind unit, has defeated legendary Go player Lee Se-dol in the first of five historic matches being held in Seoul, South Korea. Lee 【1】 after about three and a half hours, with 28 minutes and 28 seconds remaining on his clock. The series is the first time a professional 9-dan Go player has taken on a computer, and Lee is 【2】 for a $1 million prize.

“I was very surprised,”said Lee after the match.“I didn’t expect to lose. But I didn’t think AlphaGo would play the game in such a perfect manner.”DeepMind founder Demis Hassabis expressed“huge 【3】 for Lee Se-dol and his amazing skills.”calling the game“hugely exciting”and“very tense.”Team lead David Silver said it was an“amazing game of Go that really pushed AlphaGo to its 【4】.”

Go is an ancient Chinese board game that has long been considered one of the great 【5】faced by AI. While computer programs ow best the world’s leading human players of games like checkers and chess, the high level of intuition and 【6】required by Go has made it tough for computers to crack. DeepMind’s AlphaGo program is the most 【7】effort yet, using a complex system of deep neural networks and machine learning; it beat European champion Fan Hui last year, but Lee Se-dol is another 【8】 rival entirely.

“I don’t regret accepting this challenge,”said Lee.“I am in shock, I admit that, but what’s done is done. I enjoyed this game and look forward to the next. I think I failed on the opening layout so if I do a better job on the opening aspect I think I will be able to increase my 【9】 of winning.”Lee was surprised both by how strong AlphaGo’s opening was, and by some 【10】moves.

35、阅读短文，根据短文内容及首字母提示，在空白处填入一个适当的单词。

Wearing face masks during the COVID-19 pandemic p【1】 the spread of the deadly virus. But it is also i【2】. For one, we can no longer unlock our phones using facial recognition since a good part of our face is c【3】.

F【4】, tech companies are working to solve the problem. Apple, for example, offered a new way to unlock your iPhone and iPad with its l【5】 software update, iOS13.5, w【6】 was released on May 20.

Even though the update still won’t recognize your masked face, it makes the whole process f【7】. While the old system wouldn’t allow access t【8】 the passcode screen before three failed face scan attempts, iOS13.5 will send you straight to the passcode screen when you swipe up.

It might only s【9】 you a few seconds, but those few seconds “benefit public health by eliminating the temptation for people to r【10】 their masks in order to unlock their device”.

36、阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Everyone has their own unique fingerprint; 【1】 makes fingerprints an ideal way to unlock smartphones. However, this may be 【2】 (safe) than we think.

Scientists at New York University and Michigan State University in the US have developed a set of fake fingerprints. They say that the prints 【3】 unlock any fingerprint-enabled smartphone up to 65 percent of the time.

The artificial fingerprints 【4】 (create) by using many common features found in human prints. They work 【5】 taking advantage of the way smartphone scanners check a fingerprint.

The fingerprint scanners   【6】 (use) in smartphones are so small that they only read parts of fingerprints. So they have to take many scans of your finger or thumb (拇指) 【7】 they work properly.

39、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

When we are in the face of hardships, different attitudes toward life lead to different lives.

Austin lost his arms in an accident that claimed the life of his father — who was the main source of support for the family. Since then, he has had to depend on the arms of his younger brother. For the sake of taking care of him, his younger brother became his shadow, never leaving him alone for years. Except for writing with his toes, he was completely unable to do anything in his life.

One late night, he suffered from diarrhea (腹泻)and had to wake up his younger brother. His younger brother accompanied him into the toilet and then went back to the dorm to wait. But being so tired, his younger brother fell asleep, leaving him in the toilet for two hours till the teacher on duty discovered him. Although the two brothers grew up together, they had their own share of problems, which made them often quarrel with each other. Then one day, his younger brother became so angry that he wanted to separate from Austin, living his own life, as many normal people did. So Austin was heartbroken, and he was at a loss what to do in the future of his life.  

It was really a coincidence that a similar misfortune befell a girl, Ella, too. One night her mother, who suffered from chronic mental illness, left home. So her father went out to look for her mother, leaving her alone at home. She tried to prepare meals for her parents, accidentally starting a fire in the kitchen, which took her arms away.

Though her elder sister, who was studying in another city, showed her strong willingness to take care of her, she was determined to be completely self-reliant. At school, she always studied hard. Most important of all, she learned to be independent. Once she wrote the following in her composition: "I am lucky. Though I lost my arms, I still have legs. I am lucky. Though my wings are broken, my heart can still fly."
