Encourage Exercises

It’s no secret that many students do not like to say in classrooms and study all day. 【1】 Quite a lot of them don’t like outdoor PE classes either.

“Our three PE classes every week are all run, run and run. It’s for our High School Entrance Examination (中考)，said Li Liangjing, 15, a junior 3 student from Xiamen.

【2】  . Two months ago, the Shanghai University of Sport made a survey from over 110,000 students and worked out teenagers’ physical index (指数). For junior high school students, their physical health score is 94.1, which is quite good. But this doesn’t mean they are active in sports, because their awareness (意识) and willingness (意愿) to do physical exercises only scores at 74.8. 【3】  , reported the Paper News.

Because of that, the Shanghai Education committee decided to put more importance on the general physical quotient (体商) of teenagers. This means that schools should pay attention to not only students’ health and sports test scores, but also their knowledge, skills and willingness to do exercises.

Thus, making PE classes more fun and growing students’ interests in sports seems necessary, according to the deputy director (副主任) of the Shanghai Education Committee, Wang Ping. 【4】 , such as throwing the handkerchief (手绢) and the eagle and the chickens. They also teach students different sports like tennis, swimming and martial art (武术).

“  【5】  , which can be good for all their lives,” said Wang. And experts (专家) from the Shanghai University of Sport are planning to introduce the idea to more provinces.

25、But ugly fruits should be loved, too. In recent years, a new crop of “ugly produce” companies have been around the U.S. These start-ups sell those ugly fruits that supermarkets refuse. And they send them right to your door.

The companies say they’re on a mission（使命）. They want to stop billions of pounds of imperfect produce（农产品）from going to waste. Think of it this way: Is a banged-up (be knocked and some places broken) banana any less tasty in a peanut butter sandwich? Why should it be thrown away?

Sounds like these companies have the right idea. They even offer deep low prices. That’s great news for customers. But not everyone is happy. Some people say these companies may be thinking only about themselves.

△

Imperfect produce isn’t always wasted.

Many small farmers had already been selling imperfect produce to customers and farmers markets. Then the ugly produce companies started growing up. These companies, such as Imperfect Produce, can offer more fruits and veggies from large farms around the country. They make it harder for smaller farms to compete. So the farmers are losing money.

Also, ugly fruits and veggies already have uses. Take the food service industry for example. There, produce is sliced, diced, blended, and more. No one cares if the fruit is pretty or ugly. On farms, fruits can be fed to animals. Rotted（腐烂的）fruit is added back into soil for nutrients. And, what’s more, ugly produce companies have been charged with taking food away from the needy.

Are these start-ups causing more bad than good?

Not So Bad, After All?

What do ugly produce companies say? They are guarding themselves.

In March 2019, Imperfect Produce told people that the company doesn’t take away from the needy. It gets resources from farms only after food banks take what they want, it said. Also, the company often gives food to food banks. Put that in your food basket!

It is true that produce goes to waste in America. The Department of Agriculture has said that food waste is a big problem. In fact, about 30 to 40 percent of the country’s food is wasted.

But Imperfect Produce says both farmers and ugly produce companies can help reduce food waste. It doesn’t have to be either-or.

No matter whose side you’re on, remember this: It’s what’s on the inside that counts.

【1】What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?

A．Ugly produce companies are doing more good than bad.

B．Not everyone supports ugly produce companies’ missions.

C．Ugly produce companies are loved because of lower prices.

D．Ugly produce companies make the most use of imperfect produce.

【2】What is the most suitable for the △ ?

A．The Ugly Truth?

B．Not So Good, Above All.

C．But So Bad, Really?

D．The Ugly Wasted.

【3】What fact does the passage provide?

A．It’s important for smaller farms to get more customers to make money.

B．Food waste is caused because supermarkets refuse ugly produce.

C．Ugly produce companies sell imperfect produce to prevent waste.

D．Customers are interested in stopping food waste and saving money.

【4】The writer probably wrote the article in order to ______.

A．tell ugly produce companies to give unwanted fruits and vegetables to the needy

B．show the reasons why there are more and more ugly produce companies

C．offer readers an introduction to ugly produce companies and their missions

D．make readers only buy food from companies that work with smaller farms

26、Our environment is being polluted faster. Man’s present efforts cannot prevent it .Time is bringing us more people, and more people will bring us more industry, more cars, larger cities and the growing use of man-made materials.

What can explain and solve this problem ?The fact is that pollution is caused by man ----by his desire(欲望) for a modern way of life. We make “industrialization(工业化)”our main aim. So we seem to be ready to give up everything: clear air, pure water, good food, our health and the future of our children. Large numbers of people are moving from the countryside into the cities, looking forward to the modern life. But as our world has developed so fast in the last twenty years, pollution has become a serious problem.

Isn’t it time for us to stop to ask ourselves where we are going-----and why? It makes one think of the story about the airline pilot who was heard over the loudspeaker, “I’ve some good news and some bad news. The good news is that we’re flying at 530 miles per hour. The bad news is that we’re lost and don’t know where we’re going.” The sad fact is that this becomes a true story when we talk about our modern society.(社会)

【1】According to the passage, what does man believe to be the most important?

A. Industry  B. Health  C. Clean air   D. The future of the children

【2】The story about the airline pilot tells us that______________.

A. man knows where the society is going

B. people do not welcome the fast development of modern society.

C. man can do little about the problem of pollution.

D. the writer is worried about the future of the our society

【3】What does the writer really want to say in this passage?

A. Pollution has become a serious problem

B. Lower the speed of development to stop pollution.

C. It’s time for us to take action to reduce pollution

D. As industry is growing fast, pollution is the natural result.

27、阅读下面四篇材料，然后从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

With rising food prices， growing population and environmental problems， many people are worrying about how we will feed ourselves in the future. Don’t worry. Scientists are trying to find some answers.

Some scientists believe insects will become a staple of our diet. Insects provide as many nutrients as ordinary meat and a great source of protein(蛋白质) ， they also cost less to raise than cows and use less water. About 1，400 species are suitable as food for humans. Many people have already eaten insects as a part of their diet. Locusts are popular in Africa， wasps are a dish in Japan， and crickets are eaten in Thailand. The Dutch government is preparing for insect farms and has invested one million euros into research.

In the future， land and fresh water will be in short supply. It is possible that people need to find a reliable food source in the ocean. Scientists have already found one at the bottom of the food chain---seaweed. It has long been a staple in Asia， and countries including Japan have huge seaweed farms. Such farms can easily work in other countries and be very successful. The great thing about seaweed is that it grows at an amazing rate. It’s the fastest growing plant on earth.

Scientists are also working in the lab to solve the problem of food shortage. A few years ago， European scientists successfully produced lab meat， also known as cultured meat. They grew muscle tissue using stem cells(干细胞)taken from cows. The experiment was funded by NASA to see if lab meat was a food astronauts could eat in space.

In 20 years’ time ， lab meat is likely to become a popular dish of our diet. According to research， growing meat in a lab rather than slaughtering(屠宰) animals can greatly reduce greenhouse gases， along with energy and water use. People can also reduce fat from the meat and add nutrients.

【1】According to the passage， which of the following is NOT a potential problem humans face in the future?

A. Rising food prices.  

B. Growing population.

C. Fewer skillful farmers.

D. Less fresh water available

【2】How many kinds of future food are introduced in the passage?

A. Two   B. Three C. Four D. Five

【3】Which of the following are the features of insects?

①They are great sources of protein.

②They are at the bottom of the food chain.

③People can spend less money in raising insects.

④They provide as many nutrients as ordinary meat.

A. ①②③ B. ②③④   C. ①②④   D. ①③④

【4】Why did NASA fund the experiment of creating lab meat?

A. Because they wanted to make extra money.

B. Because astronauts didn’t like the taste of beef and pork.

C. Because they wanted to solve the problem of food shortage.

D. Because they wanted to see if lab meat was a suitable food for astronauts.

28、Robot scientists are not just trying to make robots look like people. For example, there are already robots w【1】in factories. These robots look more like h【2】 arms. They do s【3】 jobs over and over again. People would not like to do such jobs and would get b【4】. But robots will never get bored. In the future, there will be more robots e【5】, and humans will have l【6】work to do. New robots will have many different s【7】. Some will look like humans, and others might look like snakes. After an earthquake, a snake robot could help look for people under b【8】. That may not seem possible now, but computers, space rockets and even electric toothbrushes seemed

i 【9】 a hundred years ago. We never know what will h【10】 in the future.

29、A few days ago, I bought some ink for my printer at my favorite $1 Supermarket, which sold everything from fresh produce to birthday cards at one dollar. Then I found a better _______ at a computer store. So I went back to the supermarket to _______ it for some other products. With nobody telling me exactly what to do, I put the ink into a plastic bag, tied it up, placed the bag into a push-cart and started shopping.

I was midway through when a clerk suddenly stopped me. "You are not allowed to carry a bag around in this store. Open it and show me the thing!" she yelled coldly.

_______, I opened the bag and showed the ink to her. "I'm returning it. "I said.

"You should have left the bag with the clerk upon entry. Let me see your receipt!" she asked. I did as told, looking around, embarrassed as if everyone was laughing at me. "Perhaps in the future you'll learn how to follow the store rules." she added.

By the time I finished shopping, I was angry. How dare she treat me as a _______? I went looking for her and asked for her _______. She mumbled (嘀咕) something. I asked her again, and this time I heard "Ursula."

"Ursula, what?" I asked. She yelled at me, "Ursula!" and stormed away.

"This woman is about to become fired, "I _______ when I got home. I rang their headquarters (总部). I described my unpleasant experience to the person in charge. She was understanding, "Our employees (雇员) are taught to be _______. Give me your phone number and I will ring you back. "

She did two days later. "I'm sorry," she said, "but there's no Ursula at that supermarket. Can you describe her so that I can find out who she is? I assure you, we do not stand rude behavior, nor do we stand_______to our customers. "
