Passage 4
How much food do you buy each week? Do you finish everything that you buy? If not, what will you do with the leftover (吃剩的) food? Save it for another time or throw it into the bin (垃圾箱)?
Throwing away unwanted food has become a big problem. Most food waste happens at supermarkets. After all food has a pull date (保质期). If it is past that date, supermarkets will throw away lots of food, especially those vegetables and fruit that are the wrong shape or have gone bad. Or they may give discounts (折扣), such as “buy one get one free” , in order to encourage customers to buy more than they need.
In Denmark, a woman called Selina Juul has been working hard to solve this problem. She moved from Russia many years ago and was surprised to see the abundance of food available (供应的丰富食物) in the supermarkets. And she found that people were buying more than they needed and throwing too much away.
She advised some supermarkets to stop selling their food in bulk (批量) so that people bought only what they needed. She made a leftover cookbook and set up an education program in schools, which has helped cut food waste by 25%.
Clearly, we need to think twice when we put something in our shopping bags. When we are at home we should make full use of the food we have.
If there is excess (过量的) food, we can share it with our friends and neighbors.
13. Why do supermarkets throw away lots of food?
A. Because it is the wrong shape. B. Because there is too much food.
C. Because it is past the pull date. D. Because it is much too cheap.
14. Supermarkets may encourage customers to buy more than they need ________.
A. by giving away some food B. by providing more food
C. by throwing away some food D. by giving discounts
15. What advice did Selina Juul give to supermarkets?
A. To stop selling their food in bulk. B. To sell their food at a low price.
C. To give some food to customers for free. D. To stop selling too much food.
16. What’s the article mainly about?
A. A leftover cookbook B. How to save food and cut waste
C. The abundance of food available D. How to buy food in supermarkets
【答案】13 C 14. D 15. A 16. B
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了食物浪费的问题,并介绍了Selina Juul女士为解决这个问题所做的努力。
【13题详解】

Passage 2
Yang Kexin comes from Guizhou Province. She really loves meteorites (陨石) .
Yang became interested in meteorites when she was young. Once, she saw a photo of a meteorite. Her friend found the meteorite in Xinjiang. Yang got inspired (受到了启发) and in 2012 she left her job in Beijing and started to work in Hami, Xinjiang. There she spent most of her free time looking for meteorites. However, it was not easy. Luckily, Yang found a small meteorite on one trip. She jumped up and down and shouted, “I found a meteorite! ” And the finding made her decide to look for more meteorites.
Yang spent five years in Hami and found more than 600 meteorites. These meteorites were valuable. Someone wanted to buy them at a high price, but Yang said no. She never thought of making money with them.

Because I didn’t have enough money, I borrowed (借) some” she said. So it came as a surprise when she decided to open the museum to people for free.

Passage 3
①Are you shy? If you are you are not alone. In fact, about 50 percent of people are shy. Almost 80 percent of people feel shy at some points in their lives. Now, scientists have some interesting ideas about why people are shy.
②Scientists say 15 to 20 percent of babies behave shyly. These babies are a little quieter than other babies. Interestingly, these shy babies usually have shy parents. Scientists believe some shyness is genetic (遗传的) .
③Family size may be another factor. Scientists at Harvard University found. 66 percent of shy children had older brothers and sisters. These children were often bullied (伤害) by their brothers and sisters. As a result, they became shy. However, children with no brothers or sisters can be shy, too. Growing up alone, they often play by themselves It’s hard for them to develop social skills as children from big families.
④You may also be shy because of your birthplace. In Japan, most people are shy. But in Israel (以色列) , only one third of people are shy. In Japan, when people fail, they blame (责怪) themselves. In Israel, people often blame other things, such as family, friends, or bad luck.
⑤For shy people, it can be difficult to make friends, speak in class, and even get a good job. But scientists say you can overcome (战胜) your shyness. They suggest trying new things and talking with others more.

Passage 4
How much food do you buy each week? Do you finish everything that you buy? If not, what will you do with the leftover (吃剩的) food? Save it for another time or throw it into the bin (垃圾箱)?
Throwing away unwanted food has become a big problem. Most food waste happens at supermarkets. After all food has a pull date (保质期). If it is past that date, supermarkets will throw away lots of food, especially those vegetables and fruit that are the wrong shape or have gone bad. Or they may give discounts (折扣), such as “buy one get one free” , in order to encourage customers to buy more than they need.
In Denmark, a woman called Selina Juul has been working hard to solve this problem. She moved from Russia many years ago and was surprised to see the abundance of food available (供应的丰富食物) in the supermarkets. And she found that people were buying more than they needed and throwing too much away.
She advised some supermarkets to stop selling their food in bulk (批量) so that people bought only what they needed. She made a leftover cookbook and set up an education program in schools, which has helped cut food waste by 25%.
Clearly, we need to think twice when we put something in our shopping bags. When we are at home we should make full use of the food we have.
If there is excess (过量的) food, we can share it with our friends and neighbors.
13. Why do supermarkets throw away lots of food?
A. Because it is the wrong shape. B. Because there is too much food.
C. Because it is past the pull date. D. Because it is much too cheap.
