Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2025·安徽期中)More than a third of food grown in the US goes uneaten,and that percentage has increased in the past five years.Much of that food ends up in landfills,where it breaks down,creating a gas that contributes to global warming.A company based in Denmark has spent the past eight years working to bring that percentage down by helping restaurants sell food cheaply.
Too Good To Go,an app starting in Denmark and with participating stores in 17 countries today,works with businesses to sell their end-of-day leftovers for 60%—80% off.By matching hungry,cost-conscious customers with surplus food,the app's creators say they reduce waste,one bag of saved food at a time.
MacAulay,the app's US country manager,says the cheaper price tag and the recovered business costs are great side effects,but the main point is really around reducing food waste.“When someone buys a ‘surprise bag’,the app adds that purchase (购买) to his/her lifetime climate impact record.It displays all the electricity and the carbon emissions (排放) prevented from going to waste.”
“We've saved over 250 million meals,” MacAulay says.“So if you think about the scale,it is having an impact.” According to the app's estimate,that translates to taking about 135,000 cars off the road for a year,because apart from the global warming gas released by the rotten food in landfills,the climate impact also includes the land and water used to grow that food and the gas used to power the trucks and factories that prepare and transport food.
“That's a huge amount,especially considering that in the US all food loss and waste accounts for about 6% of the total greenhouse gas emissions footprint,” says Alexandria Coari with the food waste nonprofit ReFED.“Marked-down alert apps like Too Good To Go are especially popular among businesses that produce baked goods,so there's no shortage of pastries and pizzas available.I think in the areas where they are trying to expand into retail grocery,even into manufacturing,there's still a little bit to be figured out there.”
1.How does the app function?
A.By collecting wasted food around.
B.By buying food directly from local suppliers.
C.By selling leftovers cheaply to buyers in need.
D.By matching factories with the remaining food.
2.What will the app record after a “surprise bag” is sold?
A.The updated information of “surprise bags”.
B.The buyer's effort to reduce climate impacts.
C.The carbon emissions caused by this purchase.
D.The amount of electricity used in this purchase.
3.What does the author mainly intend to show in paragraph 4?
A.The wide use of the app.
B.The effect brought by the app.
C.The harm caused by food waste.
D.The impact of cars on the climate.
4.What might the app focus on for its future development according to Coari?
A.Cooperation with more bakeries.
B.Setting up a food waste nonprofit.
C.Expanding business to other areas.
D.Giving out more “surprise bags”.

In today's world, it can feel like our entire lives take place in front of a screen.Whether we're texting friends or laughing at social media, our digital devices are always close.However, these devices can impact the well-being of our planet.Every device uses electricity.Much of that power comes from burning fossil fuels (化石燃料).As a result, each device leaves a trace of climate-warming gases, usually carbon dioxide, or CO2.
The CO2 emissions from any product or activity depend on how much energy goes into making, using or doing something.For example, flying a plane uses a lot more liquid fuel than driving a car.And riding a bike uses no gas or diesel (柴油)! The same idea applies to our devices, says Jessica McLean, who studies how people, technology and the environment interact.How we use a device affects how much energy it consumes, she says.Just like different types of transportation produce different amounts of pollution, so do different types of online activities.
Video streaming leads to more CO2 emissions than other forms of screen use, McLean points out.To stream something, your device must access data held at some big computer center.It could be half a world away from you.When we hit play, our devices request lots of those data to fly—faster than lightning—to our devices.The same process happens when we open our email.But video or big image files used in streaming are much larger and more energy-intensive (耗能的) than the simple text of an email.
Luckily, there are small steps we all can take to lower the climate impacts of our digital lives.Mike Hazas, a professor of human-computer interaction, says that one way to make greener use of our devices is to keep them as long as possible.We shouldn't trade in a device for a newer version (型号) so frequently, Hazas notes.Not even for a more efficient, greener model.“That is by far going to have much more impact,” he says.
5.How does the author start the text?
A.By giving an example.
B.By describing a scene.
C.By stating his experience.
D.By expressing his opinion.
6.What does Jessica McLean explain in paragraph 2?
A.Promoting green travel is vital.
B.Certain daily routines save energy.
C.Technology has a positive impact on society.
D.Our digital choices come with a climate cost.
7.What is the main idea of paragraph 3?
A.Carbon emissions have far-ranging effects.
B.Streaming videos requires substantial energy.
C.Bigger computer centers ensure easier data access.
D.Digital devices are transforming how we communicate.
8.What does Mike Hazas suggest?
A.Cut down your screen time.
B.Make your computer more efficient.
C.Replace your digital device less often.
D.Select a more eco-friendly phone model.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。电子设备产生的碳足迹不容小觑。我们要从小事做起,打造绿色数字生活。
5.解析 B 推理判断题。根据第一段前两句“In today's world, it can feel like our entire lives take place in front of a screen.Whether we're texting friends or laughing at social media, our digital devices are always close.(在当今世界,感觉我们的整个生活都是在屏幕前进行的。无论我们是在给朋友发短信还是被社交媒体逗笑,我们的数字设备总是近在咫尺。)”由此可知,本文是通过描写一种常见的生活情景来引入话题的,故选B。
6.解析 D 推理判断题。根据第二段中“How we use a device affects how much energy it consumes, she says.Just like different types of transportation produce different amounts of pollution, so do different types of online activities.(她说,我们使用设备的方式会影响它消耗的能量。就像不同类型的交通工具产生不同数量的污染一样,不同类型的网络活动也是如此。)”由此可推知,我们在数字生活里作出的选择会带来气候成本,故选D。
7.解析 B 主旨大意题。根据第三段首句“Video streaming leads to more CO2 emissions than other forms of screen use, McLean points out.(McLean指出,视频流比其他形式的屏幕使用导致更多的二氧化碳排放。)”和末句“But video or big image files used in streaming are much larger and more energy-intensive (耗能的) than the simple text of an email.(但是,流媒体中使用的视频或大图像文件比电子邮件中的简单文本要大得多,也更耗能。)”可知,本段主要讲述刷视频需要消耗大量的能源,故选B。
8.解析 C 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“We shouldn't trade in a device for a newer version (型号) so frequently, Hazas notes.(Hazas指出,我们不应该如此频繁地购买更新型号的设备。)”可知,Hazas提出的建议是降低更换数字设备的频率,故选C。
