2.In New York,students at 18schools participate in a program called We Future Cycle.Started by Anna Giordano in 2014,it teaches kids to recycle,compost (制成堆肥),and reduce  food waste.
Lunch areas at the participating schools are equipped with three clearly marked bins-compost,recycle and share.While the first two are common in schools,the third is rare,where kids can put their unwanted drinks,fruits,and even untouched sandwiches.Items in the  container are available for any student that wants them.Whatever remains at the end of the day is donated to the food bank.Giordano says the three bins have helped reduce the nun of trash bags from an average of 22to just 2!
To ensure kids adopt similar habits at home,the non-profit has created extensive   curriculum to educate families  about the importance of sorting waste into the proper streams of recycling,composting,trash and food to donate-They also urge parents to have  conversations with their kids about food choices.
But,as  we're all aware,kids aren't   only ones that Waste food-adults are  epually bad,if not worse!To prevent that,Josh Treuhaft  founded Salvage Supperclub in 2014.The occasionally organized dinners promise people  a tasty multi-course meal for a mere 550USD   perperson.It is also a plan to savewaste because the delicious food is made from vegetables   that are past their prime and,therefore,headed for the trash bin.
The other catch?Customers have to eat their  meals inside a dumpster(大型垃圾装卸车)!The place,of course,is totally clean.It is just a symbolic gesture.In addition to helping people rethink their actions,Treuhaft also helps them to do good by donating part of the profits to non-profits devoted to fighting against food waste.
32.What is mainly talked about in the text?C
A.The importance of saving food.
B.Ways to form the habit of saving food.
C.Positive moves to reduce food waste.

A.students are more generous
B.the program enjoys a success in schools
C.food is wasted seriously in all schools

B.It donates its profits to schools.
C.It educates parents as well as children.
D.It occasionally provides people with free dinner.

12.FUZHOU,South China,Dec.18 (Fujian Daily)-Students of Fujian Province who date (约会) in middle school have slowly increased recently.It's said that they have obviously worse study skills,are four times more likely to drop out of school and report twice as much alcohol and tobacco use than their single classmates,according to a new research from the University of Fuzhou."Romantic relationships are a symbol of adolescence(青春期),but very few studies have examined how adolescents are different in the development of these relationships."said Lin Ming,the study author and professor in the College of Public Health.
Professor Lin followed a group of 624students over a four-year period from 9th to 12th grade.Each year,the group of students completed a survey showing whether they had dated and reported the frequency(频率) of different behaviors,including the use of alcohol and tobacco.Their teachers completed questionnaires (调查表) about the students'performance in study.He found some students never or hardly ever reported dating from middle to high school,and these students had the best study skills according to their teachers.Other students dated infrequently in middle school but increased the frequency of dating in high school.
"Teachers regarded the students who reported the lowest frequency of dating as having the best study skills and the students with the highest dating as having the worst study skills,"according to the report.Study skills refer to behaviors that lead to success in study such as doing work for extra credit(学分),being well organized,finishing homework,working hard.
"Dating a classmate may have the emotional complications(复杂)"Lin said,"When the couple break up,they have to continue to see each other in class and perhaps witness the former-partner dating someone else.It is reasonable to think this could be linked to depression(消沉) and divert (转移) attention from studying."
"Dating should not be considered a ceremony of growth in middle school."Lin concluded finally.

13.The Chinese television reality show called"Wonderful Friends",where entertainers hug whale sharks,kiss lions,feed pandas and dress up baby chimpanzees,has come under fire from wildlife protectors who want it to be stopped,saying such activities are cruel and are dangerous for both the humans and animals.
The show is the latest hit from Hunan TV,which has attracted more than 196,000followers.In each show,popular stars are given zoo-keeping tasks that allow them to interact with wild animals in order to bring humans and animals closer together.
Animal welfare advocates say that is exactly what should be avoided.Dave Neale of Animals Asia (an advocacy group) said,"It is hugely misleading to the public about the needs and welfare of captive animals (圈养动物) and putting the animals'welfare and health at risk."
"What they don't realize is that wild animals need space,"said Xie Yan,a zoologist and China director of the Wildlife Conservation Society."Putting clothes on chimpanzees is not as adorable as you may think from the animals'point of view.I guess their idea was to get their viewers to love and protect the animals,"Ms.Xie added,"but we do not agree with this approach for entertainment."
Using famous people to focus public attention on wildlife is a common practice in conservation campaigns.The Chinese basketball legend Yao Ming went to Africa and highlighted the problem of elephant and rhinoceros poaching (偷猎) in the documentary"The End of the Wild"."But differently,he,as a human observer,kept his distance and was there to see the hard truth of poaching,and that is different from a show created to attract viewers."Ms Xie said.
Critics also argue that the show violates (违反) Chinese wildlife protection laws.

24.Which one of the following statements is TRUE?D
A.Many people like the show because of its dangerous activities.
B.Xie Yan is against persuading the public to love and protect animals.
C.The reality show makes no difference to wildlife at all.
D.Some think the show is against wildlife protection laws of China.
25.According to Ms Xie,"Wonderful Friends"is basically different from"The End of the Wild",becauseD.
A.they both invite different popular stars to show up
B.they shoot different numbers and kinds of species
C.their filming locations are different
D.their purposes and ways to approach animals are different
26.What's the author's attitude towards"Wonderful Friends"?D
A.Worried.         B.Disappointed.
C.Uninterested.    D.Not mentioned.
27.The passage would most likely be foundB.
A.on a notice board  
B.in a newspaper
C.in a fashion magazine  
D.in an ad of wildlife protection.

It was difficult to write those letters,especially without hope of a reply.One day he received a letter from the prison ministry.It was a short note from the officer who monitored and checked the prison mail.
  The letter said,"Please write on the best paper you can afford.Your letters are passed from cell to cell until they literally fall to pieces!"

17.Want to Live Longer?Turn off Your TV!
Seating yourself in front of the TV probably is relaxing,but spending too much time in front of the  tube may take years off your life.
That's what Australian researchers found when they collected TV viewing information from more than 11,000people older than 25years.The study found that people who watched an average six hours of TV a day lived an average 4.8years less than those who didn't watch any television.Also,every hour of TV that participants watched after age 25was associated with a 22minute reduction in their life expectancy.
It's no mystery that sitting in front of the tube isn't exactly a healthy pursuit.The more TV you watch,the less physically active you are.And the less exercise you get,the more likely you are to develop diseases such as diabetes or heart problems.
Lennert Veerman at the University of Queensland is the lead author of the study.He acknowledges that it may not just be the longtime sitting nature of watching TV that lowers life expectancy,but also the poor diet that onscreen junk-food advertising can promote.But Veerman says that the association between watching too much TV and lower life expectancy persists,even after adjusting for diet.
Veerman says that it might make sense for doctors to start asking their patients about how much time they spend in front of the TV.This may be a better way to treat patients than just asking them to get more exercise or have a healthy diet.
Veerman points out that people who are concerned can simply turn off the TV and get off the couch."Exercise is good,"he says,"but even light physical activity also improves health."
58.The underlined word"tube"in the 1st paragraph refers to theB.
A.pipe  
B.television
C.couch  
D.table
59.Watching too much TV may shorten our life becauseA.
A.the lack of physical activity can lead to developing diseases
B.while watching TV we usually have a poor diet
C.too much TV leads to less sleep
D.watching TV makes us tired
60.According to Lennert Veerman,D.
A.the more TV we watch,the shorter life we'll live
B.the more exercise we take,the healthier we'll be
C.say No to TV absolutely
D.watching less TV and taking some exercise may help us live a longer life.

12.Fujitsu,a Japanese technology company,has created a system capable of simultaneously(同时地)charging multiple portable electronic devices such as mobile phones,digital cameras and laptop computers without the need for cable connections.
Electric cars users may also eventually be able to charge their vehicles wirelessly using the same technology,said the company,which developed a sample system at Osaka Prefecture University.Claiming to be the world s first of its kind,the technology works on the basis of the transmission of electricity using magnetic fields between the charger and the electronic device.
The system enables wireless charging at distances of up to several meters.With the final aim of installing public"charging spots"on the streets in order to enable easy charging around the clock,scientists at Fujitsu Labs are planning to commercially sell products incorporating the new wireless charging system as early as 2012 but have not yet decided how much they would cost.
‘This technology paves the way to integrating compact wireless charging functions into mobile phones and enabling multiple portable devices to be charged simultaneously without any restrictions on their position relating to the charger,"the company said in a statement.
Mobile phone users in Japan can currently charge their batteries using the disposable portable plug-in battery 一 operated device,available at most train stations and convenience stores.However,phone companies warn long time use of it can damage the phones.
The company added,"We are also looking at applying the results of this work to fields other than portable electronics,including power transmission between circuit boards (电路板)or computer chips,and providing mobile charging systems for electric cars."
72.This passage is most probably taken fromC.
A.an instructive brochure
B.readers feedback
C.a news report
D.a brief introduction
73.Which of the following can best describe the striking feature of this system?C
A.It enables wireless charging at distances of up to several miles
B.It enables you to charge your device very easily beside the clock
C.It is wireless and makes multiple charging at the same time
D.It can be bought at any formal supermarkets in the city
74.The underlined word"it"in paragraph 5 refers toA.
A.the device B.the system C.the phone D.the battery
75.The best title for the text would beC.
A.Fujitsu,a famous Japanese company
B.power transmission between circuit boards
C.new wireless charging system developed
D.mobile phones damaged by charging.
