According to Corby Martin,a clinical psychologist at Pennington Biomedical Research Center. Smartlntake allows users to take photos of their plates before and after eating These images are then sent to servers where researchers analyze the food for its calorie and nutrient()content. Martin believes this photo comparison method can be adapted to measure how much food is left uneaten and ends up as waste. "We fully expect that Smartlntake can measure food waste,but it needs to be improved to capture(捕捉）waste wherever it occurs,”says Martin.The goal is to measure not just leftovers but also waste produced during meal preparation and whether leftovers are ever consumed.This is important because,according to Brian Roe,a behavioral economist at Ohio State University. Americans waste about a quarter of the food they buy annually(about 40 million tons,which also means 1.5 million tons of food was thrown away every day),costing each family between $1,365 and $2,275. Foodlmage aims to provide researchers with exact data on when and how food waste occurs. For instance,if a household buys food in large amounts because it's on sale,Foodlmage could help determine if this leads to increased waste,advice against such buying will be possibly given. Effors to reduce food waste are gaining attention globally.The US Deparment of Agriculture and the Environmental Proteetion Agency have set a goal to halve America's food waste by 2030. The Foodlmage project is currently at the research stage,which the researchers hope to complete by the end of the year.Martin and Roe think it will take 9 to 12 months to develop the 英语试题第4页（共8页） iaulpwmdtetoamefnfigisalkal.“rseeanonhiatudiesthairealywimtoamthawhcdihfia approches affeet hoshold behavithen wehelp prirtie ofeill deliver the bi impact."says Roe."But you need god houschold-level data to accomplish that." 28.What do the figures in paragruph 3 indicate? A.The seriousness of food waste in the US B.The high living costs of American families C.How difficult it is for people to reduce food waste. D.How useful SmartIntake is in measuring food waste 29.What is the main function of the Foodlmage app? A.Raising people's awareness of healthy eating. B.Teaching people how to cook with less food waste. C.Offering researchers detailed information on food waste. D.Helping researchers to determine the food quality correctly. 30.What ean we learn from the last paragraph? A.The Foodlmage project is well received by the public. B.Information from the household is important to the project. C.The research stage of the project will take another 9 months D.Lack of money is the main problem for the project's development. 31.What would be a suitable title for the text? A.Global Efforts to Reduce Food Waste B.The Role of Hi-Tech in Managing Food Waste C.Foodlmage:A New Approach to Food Waste D.SmartIntake:A Good Measure of Food Consumption Literature students once read three books a week but today they struggle to make it through one in three weeks.Sir Jonathan Bate,a professor of English literature at the University of Oxford.has wamed. Bate put the drop in the number of books read by students down to shorter attention spans( 续时间)，which he linked to the use of smartphones..“The current山y fashionable answer is that it's to do with the attrition of attention span due to smartphones,six-minute YouTube videos and so on,"he said."It all begins in schools.You only have to look at the thinning of the GCSE and the tendeney to recommend shorter works. Bate suggested that,in contrast to students from privately educated backgrounds,those from state schools in Britain usually haven't been introduced to a wide variety of lengthy books and haven't formed the habit of reading them either.He said it was because those students come from disadvantaged schools where the teachers main task is crowd control,and so the demands in terms of reading long books are just not there Fortunately,state-funded charter schools in the US offer classical education,with more flexibility in curriculum().Bate's son,a recent graduate from a charter high school called Great Hearts,studied works like The lliad and Crime and Punishment.The school even provided bagels for studying Hegel(a famous writer)."I couldn't understand Hegel when I was a graduate student.I'm amazed that 17-year-old American kids are reading Hegel.So there is some hope, Bate said that the long-term impact of not habitually reading long texts was troubling for the future of literary culture. "If you haven't got readers,what are writers going to do?The intensive,thoughtful,quiet reading of great books is good for mental health:it's very good for developing skills for concentration and critical thinking-and if that falls away,that is problematic for society and for individuals. 32.What does the underlined word "attrition"in paragraph 2 mean? A.Expansion. B.Decrease. C.Destruction. D.Progress. 英语试题第5页（共8页） 33.What can we know about the students from state schools in Britain? A.They have limited access to long books. B.They prioritize erowd control over reading. C.They are likely to read more classical books. D.They enjoy advantage over those from private schools 34.What is Bate's attitude towards the future of literature in the US? A.Doubtful. B.Unclear. C.Unearing D.Optimistic. 35.What does the text mainly talk about? A.There is a tendency that students read fewer books B.It is necessary for students to read classie books. C.No exposure to books is bad for students'mental health. D.Reading short works can improve students'concentration 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）】 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项 涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Most people spend a lot of their lives on their feet,just getting from here to there.Though it may seem less than self-evident,it tums out that not wearing shoes when walking or running could be beneficial for foot-strength,balance,and the awareness of body motion.36.However,the ability to use one's feet properly can have an effect on the whole body.And that's where walking barefoot comes in. According to a 2021 study published in Nature,people who walked barefoot for six months increased their foot strength by over 57 percent.37.Some other benefits of walking barefoot include increasing body awareness,a better gait()which can help with the mechanics of your knees and core,and less pain in your lower back due to stronger leg muscles. "Our feet are actually really strong and can deal with the demands we place on them.38," Rina Harris,a foot expert,said."And the majority of modem shoes don't allow their wearers to use all the benefits their feet provide.The cushioned insoles(级冲鞋垫)make it hard to get sensory input through the feet.and the ends of most shoes squish()the toes together,making it difficult to engage all the feet museles. However,it's important not to just go diving feet first into barefoot walking.You must have the appropriate amount of foot strength first before taking on barefoot walking or running as a lifestyle.Also,it's important to begin walking barefoot inside for fifteen to twenty minutes, increasing the time as you get stronger.39.It's also a good idea to practice some simple balance exercises as well.Once you have gained the necessary strength and experience,you can try your hand at something more intensive,like barefoot running.40. A.However,we don't use them as nature intended B.It also helped them with their balance and reduced falls C.Whether in the sand or on grass,a mindful walk works wonders D.So next time you get up on your feet,consider leaving your shoes behind E.Foot strength isn't something people tend to spend much time thinking about F.Shoes strongly limit the movement of specific areas of the feet,especially the toes G.Once you move outside,practice on safe surfaces such as grass or a sandy beach 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分）】 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A,B,C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最 佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Robert Irwin was bom on I December,2003 in Queensland to his adoring parents. 41 his father,Steve Irwin,the famous "Crocodile Hunter",died in an accident in 2006.Although 英语试题第6页（共8页）】 Robert was only three years old when it happened,the memories he does have of his father 42 a great deal to him.
