The only catch?The food is past its official expiry (date or has damaged 高二·英语第3页（共10页） CS扫描全能王 】亿人■在用的扫随Ap时 packaging that would've caused it to be thrown away at a regular store.WeFood has formed working arrangements with major supermarket chains,butchers and fruit importers across Denmark to collect leftover food for sale at the surplus supermarket.The volunteer based initiative hopes to attract both low-income individuals and environmentally conscious shoppers,and has been receiving incredible international praise since it opened its doors on Feb.21st. As a nation,Denmark has already been doing a good job cleaning up its food waste act.The country bins 25 per cent less food than it did five years ago,and has put pressure on many of its supermarkets to sell food near its expiration date at lower prices. On a wider European level,Denmark's neighbor,France,has recently banned supermarkets from throwing away unsold food,forcing stores to donate unwanted food to charities and food banks. While this is all amazing news,the global fight to end food wastage is far from over,with food waste increasing by 50 per cent in the US since 1990.However,we need projects like WeFood to offer the much needed inspiration on the matter,and to urge other nations to take a look at their own food waste situations. 8.What is the main purpose of WeFood supermarket?

D.To replace traditional charity food banks. 9.What does "catch"in paragraph 2 probably mean? A.Refusal. B.Disadvantage. C.Importance.

Between Jan.8 and Feb.11,researchers on board the Schmidt Ocean Institute's (SOI)research ship Falkor explored the seafloor off the coast of Chile.The team mapped 20,400 square miles (52,800 km2)of seafloor,uncovering four seamounts. The largest,named Solito "alone"in Spanish),rises 11,581 feet(3,530 m)above the seafloor,making it more than four times taller than the world's tallest building,the Burj Khalifa,which stands at 2,717 feet (828 m)tall.Using an underwater robot, scientists examined 10 seamounts,which revealed more than 100 species that the scientists suspect are new to science,including corals,sponges,sea urchins,mollusks and crustaceans. "This is far beyond our expectations,"said lead scientist Javier Sellanes."You always expect to find new species in these remote and poorly explored areas,but the amount we found,especially for some groups like sponges,is mind-blowing." The researchers took samples of the creatures and will now begin studying each one to determine whether it is a newfound species."Full species identification can take many years,"SOI's executive director Jyotika Virmani said,and the "incredible number of samples"could make this process even longer.The researchers also noted that a majority of the species make their homes in sensitive underwater habitats like coral and sponge communities.Human activities like mining and fishing threaten these areas. While new species within the Juan Fernandez and Nazca-Desventuradas marine parks are legally protected from these threats,the seamounts along the Nazca and Salas y Gomez Ridges are currently unprotected. This research trip is the latest of several SOI expeditions that have mapped seamounts in the southeast Pacific in recent years.The institute previously mapped four other huge seamounts during an expedition off the coast of Chile and Peru.Such "biological hotspots"are critical to understanding marine biodiversity,said SOI director Jyotika Virmani,as they "advance our knowledge of life on Earth". 12.Why is the Burj Khalifa mentioned in paragraph 2? A.To criticize human construction projects. B.To explain why the expedition took place in Chile. C.To emphasize how tall a newly discovered seamount is. D..To compare modern architecture with underwater structures.. 高二·英语第5页（共10页） CS扫描全能王 】亿人脑在用的扫随Ap时 l3.howdoesJjaviaersadlanesfedoaboutletiecoweris2 A.Worried. B.Surprised. C.Regretful.

D.There are too many tourists visiting. 15.What is the last paragraph mainly about? A.The challenges of identifying new species. B.The continuation of SOI's research and its value.

Though minimalism might sound restrictive at first,it actually creates space for what truly matters.18 In reality,it's about removing what doesn't add value to your life,making room for what does.The goal isn't deprivation()but intentionality- you may begin by evaluating your belongings with three questions:Do I use it?Do I love it?Do I need it?If an item fails all three,let it go. 19 You may apply the same principle to relationships.Surround yourself only with people who inspire and uplift you.Keep a gratitude journal to clarify priorities. 20 While some responsibilities can't be avoided,prioritize your own well-being where possible.Minimalism isn't about sacrifice()-it's about creating freedom to gain time,clarity,and joy.Start small,stay intentional,and watch your life transform. A.It saves time and reduces stress. B.Some people even adopt it as their life goal. C.Minimalism extends beyond physical clutter. D.Learn to say no to nonessential tasks that waste energy. 高二·英语第6页（共10页） CS扫描全能王 】亿人脑在用的扫随App E.Here's everything you need to know about living a minimalist lifestyle.

My teacher Mr.Johnson put me with three classmates who weren't all that excited about getting any work done,and the experience was extremely stressful.Since my story isn't all positive,I'll change the girls'names to Cookie and Cupcake,and I'll call the boy Volcano. Our assignment was to pick one of the 50 states and make a brochure about it.The troubles began immediately during our first meeting.While I wanted to focus on the assignment,my teammates were distracted.Cupcake suggested Hawaii because of its "super-cute swimsuits",which led to an off-topic conversation about shopping. Volcano,instead of contributing ideas,made personal comments about my hair.It quickly became clear that no one was eager to discuss the project. At our next group meeting,no one seemed very eager to talk about our brochure,so I went ahead and shared the interesting facts I'd learned about Hawaiian food and culture.When I was done,no one said anything,so I pulled out my notebook. "Cupcake,you had offered to search for pictures of Hawaiian sea life.Were you able to find some?”“I didn't have time,”she answered,“but here's a photo..”Cupcake presented a photo of herself at a Hawaiian hotel pool instead of the promised sea life pictures.Both Cookie and Volcano claimed they were "too busy"to complete their assigned parts about history and geography.
