Armed conflict is one.It forces people from their homes,ruins economies and turns millions of people into refugees who become reliant on aid,and luck,for their daily needs. Extreme weather events-like droughts,flooding,hurricanes and cyclones-also drive world hunger by destroying homes and making farmland unusable. Finally,around 30 percent of the world's food is lost or wasted annually.Food loss occurs when food is damaged or spoiled while moving through the supply chain.Food waste happens when individuals,supermarkets or restaurants buy more food than they need and throw away the excess(超过)， World Hunger Day,which is today,isn't just about bad news.Founded in 2011 by The Hunger Project,World Hunger Day is also about celebrating solutions that will eliminate starvation In Africa,The Hunger Project has been working to encourage more sustainable and efficient farming methods.For example,by diversifying their crops,farmers will have healthier soil. Furthermore,since farmers need access to safe,clean water,The Hunger Project teaches people how to monitor,maintain and repair water systems such as water pumps.The UN World Food Programme aids farmers by helping them connect to local economies,improve production methods and reduce crop losses.And,for women who are pregnant or nursing and for children, they provide special foods like nutrient-rich peanut paste. So what can you do to help root out world hunger?Aside from striving to reduce your food waste,keep educating yourself and others about the issue.Look for opportunities to feed the hungry in your own communities.There are some fantastic organizations such as SALT Collectiv, who regularly organize and coordinate events to help orphans and feed the hungry.Each step, each choice,each voice can help make hunger a thing of the past. 43.The word stagger in the third paragraph most probably means A.shock B.improve C.restrict D.affect 44.The purpose of the passage is A.to objectively analyze the reasons of starvation B.to seriously warn people of the starvation C.to encourage people to fight against hunger D.to think highly of the effort to try to get rid of hunger 45.What can we infer from the passage?

Millions of people use dating apps,but who's to say that their online profiles are accurate?It's important to be cautious when building relationships online.47 Being aware of what you're doing on dating apps helps you stay safe.When you create a dating profile,you're usually asked to upload pictures.Use clear,recent photos so as not to confuse others about what you look like.Also,think twice about the pictures you share and what kind of information they're giving away.This practice applies to the words you write,too.Be careful not to reveal very private details about your personal life.48 You can do a lot on your end to protect yourself when setting up your dating profile.But what can you do once you start interacting with others?First,understand that online dating is not a substitute for real-life connections.It's a tool.Before you start chatting with someone,look closely at their profile.Lack of information can be a cause for concern.A profile with only one photo or photos of scenery is a possible red flag. 49 That person is a waste of time.But,let's say,you find someone you're interested in. If you choose to meet in person,do so at a busy,public place.Meet at a coffee shop,a restaurant or a mall.Then let a friend know your plans.Finally,trust your instincts.If you feel suspicious, you should end the date.50 Just remember to make safety a priority! IIL.Summary Writing 51.Directions:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more than 60 words.Use your own words as far as possible. When we talk,we typically expect others to listen.But when someone else is speaking.are we extending them the same courtesy? Listening well doesn't come naturally to most people.Because most of us live in a busy world,we concentrate on certain things and tune out the rest.This also means we often don't really 2024学年第一学期期末高三年级英语学科敦学质量监测试卷 第7页共8页 pay attention to what people are saying.One way to listen with more care and attention is to practice active listening. Active listening is focusing on what someone is communicating and reflecting your understanding in response.Active listening is not only hearing someone's words but also taking note of their nonverbal communication.Nonverbal communication can include body language,the tone of a speaker's voice and their talking speed.By practicing active listening,we can hold onto important information better and show care to others.This useful skill makes others want to discuss things with us. To get better at active listening.give the speaker your complete attention.Although this may seem obvious,it is easier said than done.Setting aside your devices and clearing your mind of your own thoughts are good first steps.By avoiding those,it's easier to give your complete attention to the speaker. Another way to practice active listening is to be aware of body language.Research shows that 55 percent of face-to-face communication is nonverbal,38 percent vocal and seven percent words.When someone is speaking,their body language is giving information,too.With that in mind,you can give appropriate responses like nodding,smiling or keeping eye contact. A key part of active listening is asking questions and clarifying your understanding.By repeating the speaker's message in your own words,you show understanding.And if there's a misunderstanding,the speaker can correct you.Asking relevant questions also helps you completely understand the other person.They will feel encouraged by your attention.
