22、   Researchers in Singapore found that eating mushrooms over twice per week could help prevent memory and language problems later in life.

According to the study, published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, there is a unique antioxidant (抗氧化物质) present in mushrooms that helps protect certain brain functions.

Researchers observed 663 Chinese adults aged over 60 whose diets and lifestyles were tracked from 2011 to 2017. In the study, the participants were asked how often they ate six different types of mushrooms: oyster, shiitake, white button, dried, golden and tinned. The findings showed that eating more than two shares of mushrooms per week somehow lowered the chances of mild cognitive impairment (MCi) by 50% against those who ate fewer than one share.

MCI is a condition that can make people forgetful, affect their memory and cause problems with language, attention and finding the exact position of objects in space. Changes in behavior can be not very noticeable and not serious enough to be known as dementia (痴呆).

Participants who ate more mushrooms were found to perform better in thinking and processing exams and also exhibited a faster processing speed. The advantage was reportedly more apparent in those who ate more than two shares a week or more than 300 grams.

The scientists pointed out, however, that they have yet to put up a direct link between the fungi and brain function.

The researchers also acknowledged that since this study mainly relied on self-reported information on mushroom intake and other dietary factors (因素), further studies may be required.

Still, the lead study author Lei Feng is encouraged by their findings.

“This correlation is surprising and encouraging,” Lei said.

Mushrooms are one of the richest dietary sources of ergothioneine — a matter which humans can’t make on our own.

【1】What are the findings in paragraph 3 about?

A.Diets and lifestyles. B.The percent of MCI.

C.The types of mushrooms. D.The benefit of eating mushrooms.

【2】What can we know about MCI?

A.It can strengthen memory. B.It can result in language problems.

C.It can make people get lost. D.It can lessen the chance of forgetfulness.

【3】What is the result if students often eat more mushrooms?

A.They will take the exams much more easily

B.Their academic performance improves greatly

C.Their thinking ability is better than the majority

D.They will love communicating with others.

【4】Where does the text most probably appear?

A.Scientific fiction. B.An advertisement.

C.A science report. D.Adult literature.

23、   The line of cars waiting to receive boxes of fool from the Houston Food Bank can be up to a kilometer long. Based in the state of Texas, the organization is the country's largest food bank. It is offering huge amounts of food to workers who have lost their jobs and other people in need.

Food provided by the Houston Food blank now averages about 800,000 pounds each day. The organization reached the one-million-pound mark for the first time in the spring. But before the coronavirus crisis, the group's average daily distribution was 450,000 pounds. Then, workers in Houston and millions around the country suddenly lost work and were forced to depend on the free food. Many people in Houston and around the country do not make a livable wage.

Twenty-two million people across the country lost jobs when the coronavirus first hit. Nearly 11 million of those jobs have not yet been restored. Herman Henton, an unemployed construction worker, is among those receiving food. The family tried to get food stamps. But they were told they could only have $ 25 of federal food assistance each month.

Nationally, free food distribution has risen sharply and continues to stay high, noted Katie Fitzgerald, whose group increased the amount of food to two billion pounds from April through June. During the January-March period, it distributed 1.3 billion pounds.

The federal government has helped meet the demand through programs such as Farmers to Families. The program buys farm goods and gives these goods to food banks anti the distribution groups. These food banks get the rest of what they distribute from food markets or farmer donations or buy it with donated money. Though food banks will deliver more food as winter nears, Fitzgerald thought the nation's food banks have enough food to meet U. S. demand for now and there will be a solution to the potential food shortage in the future.

【1】What is the Houston Food Bank for?

A.Giving out food to the needy. B.Offering cars to transport food.

C.Finding jobs for the unemployed. D.Collecting food from farms or markets.

【2】Why is Herman Henton mentioned in Para.3?

A.To show the importance of having a job.

B.To add the background of the coronavirus crisis.

C.To tell readers the lives of the infected patients.

D.To prove the reason for increasing food distribution.

【3】How does Fitzgerald feel about the future of food banks' supply?

A.Pessimistic. B.Hopeful. C.Concerned. D.Doubtful.

【4】What's the main idea of the article?

A.People stiffer from food security. B.People depend on food banks to live.

C.Food banks increased their supply a lot. D.Food banks receive much help from farmers.

24、   According to a report by the United Nations，54 percent of the world’s population lives in urban areas and it predicts that by 2050，this figure will have increased to around 70 percent.But as more and more people migrate from the countryside to the city to get better opportunities，they can end up with nowhere to live.

This is true in places such as Rio de Janeiro，where migrants can’t rent or buy a home，and they end up building their own communities and houses on unoccupied land.These are called shanty towns—poor communities where the houses are built out of cheap materials—and often don’t have any electricity or water supply.

These are，of course，not the megacities(大城市)of the future we want to see. Some serious urban planning is needed to make our cities of the future good，safe and modern places to live in. This involves improving the infrastructure(基础设施)，the housing conditions and also the opportunities for education and employment.

Something urban planners are looking at now is the creation of “smart cities”. According to John Rossant，founder and chairman of the non-profit organization New Cities Foundation ，technology is the way forward.He thinks that it’s generally accepted that“cloud computing, ubiquitous internet，robust 5G networks,etc，will transform our cities.” He says technology is really “a game changer” in urbanisation. It would collect large amounts of data about how a city is performing and may improve how a city functions.

This may sound like a utopian(乌托邦似的)view. For now，some big cities around the world are trying out more low—tech schemes to try and make them desirable places to live and work in. Building shared—ownership housing and improving public transport are some ways. And encouraging cycling and building bike lanes can keep the population healthy and cut down on smog. What would make your city a better place to live in?

【1】What’s the text mainly about?

A.The city of the future. B.The increase of the population.

C.Urban construction. D.The function of smart cities.

【2】Why does the author mention Rio de Janeiro in Paragraph 2?

A.To show the growth of the world population.

B.To show the problems in urbanization.

C.To show poor living conditions of the city.

D.To show financial trouble of the city.

【3】What plays an important role in the creation of smart cities?

A.Technology. B.Urban planning.

C.The infrastructure of the city. D.Opportunities for education.

【4】What can we know from the last paragraph?

A.High-tech plans can be easily realized.

B.Public transport is well developed in cities.

C.Shared-ownership houses make no sense.

D.Ways of low-tech are available at present.
