• 2．    According to a research，more than 130 billion pounds of uneaten food go to waste in Laura's county each year.That is about 30% of the yearly food supply （供應(yīng)）.It is a sad fact，especially when you consider how many families and homeless people are in hunger.
      When Laura saw her school dining hall throw away food that was not eaten at all every day，she came up with an idea.She started a project to help her school dining hall to give away uneaten food to homeless shelters （庇護(hù)所） in her community.In the past three years，the same protect has spread to other schools and some fast food restaurants throughout the city.The project is called Feed & Find，and has already fed thousands of people in her city.
      How does it work？Through an app，F(xiàn)eed & Find matches local homeless shelters with school dining halls and restaurants that have uneaten food to provide.When dining halls or restaurants have uneaten food left，they can use the app to share the information about the food.A truck driver working for the project is then sent to pick it up and take it to a shelter.
      Pretty cool，right？It's not surprising that people in other cities have got in touch with Laura，to hoping that she could help develop similar projects for their communities.
      Some people，however，have concerns about the safety of the uneaten food.They think such food may not be clean enough.Still，this project is a clever way to help solve the problem of food waste and it helps those in need.
  
  （1）The numbers in Paragraph1 tell us

  .
  A．some people are poor
  B．food waste is serious
  C．the population is large
  D．the research is interesting
  （2）Laura's project first got food from

  .
  A．her school dining hall
  B．her family
  C．a(chǎn) fast food restaurant

  .
  A．find a truck driver
  B．visit their communities
  C．give away food to them
  D．help develop projects like hers
  （4）The underlined word "concerns" in this passage means

  .
  A．ways
  B．secrets
  C．worries
  D．decisions

• 3．The newly-elected president of Brazil，Jair Bolsonaro says that his country should withdraw（退出）from the 2015 Paris Agreement，and that Brazil's rainforest protections are standing in the way of economic success.During the election campaign，he promised to ease protections for areas of the Brazilian Amazon set aside for native people and wildlife.Are Brazil's rainforests in danger？
     The Amazon，the world's largest rainforest，is called "the lungs of the planet." Each tree takes in and stores carbon dioxide from the air around it.Billions of trees pull up water through their roots and release water vapor into the air，forming tiny drops of water.The Amazon creates 30 to 50 percent of its own rainfall.Carlos Nobre，a climate scientist，says that it is almost impossible to say Just how important the rainforest is to the planet's living systems.
     Some of Bolsonaro's support comes from business and farming groups.One supporter，Luiz Carlos，noted that farmers "are not invaders，they are producers." He blamed the past government for supporting rainforest protections at the cost of farmers. "Brazil，" he said，"will be the biggest farming nation on Earth during Bolsonaro's years."
     Paulo Artaxo，a professor of environmental physics at the University of Sao Paulo，says that if Bolsonaro keeps his campaign promises，then "deforestation of the Amazon will probably increase quickly ----and the effects will be felt everywhere on the planet."
     Other scientists warn that if the Amazon and other tropical rainforests lose too many trees，this could affect rainfall in other areas.Without enough trees to support the rainfall，the longer and bigger dry season could turn more than half of the rainforest into a tropical grassland.
  
  （1）The first paragraph is intended to

  .
  A．draw people's attention to the disappearing rainforests
  B．a(chǎn)sk people to ease the protection of rainforests
  C．a(chǎn)ttract the public to the newly-elected president
  D．to complain about the new government's withdrawing
  （2）According to the passage，rainforests can

  .
  A．produce much farmland
  B．examine people's lungs
  C．change the earth's living system
  D．destroy farmers' crops
  （3）What can be inferred from the passage？

  
  A．The new president's supporters care less about farmers.
  B．Scientists are concerned about the protection of rainforests.
  C．The rainforests will stop the economic development in Brazil.
  D．The past government is to blame for the destruction of rainforests
  （4）The passage is probably taken from

  .
  A．a(chǎn) newspaper
  B．a(chǎn) magazine
  C．a(chǎn) guidebook
  D．a(chǎn) textbook

• 4．If there were an app on your phone that could improve your memory，would you try it？Who wouldn't want a better memory？After all，our memory can be easily damaged by diseases，injuries，mental health conditions and，most particularly for all of us，aging.
     Nowadays，there are a large number of APPs that provide memory training on our phones.Can they help you remember to take medicine，do better on a school exam，remember the name of the person whom you met yesterday？Some scientists question whether this is possible.Undoubtedly，many of the brain training companies today exaggerate the potential benefits of using their APPs.
     Scientists have provided evidence that brain training does not benefit everyone in the same way.It is suggested that little consideration has been given to who would benefit most from those brain training APPs.Will it only be those who have some form of memory impairment（缺陷），or can it also help those eager for self-improvement even though they are already functioning very well？
     To overcome these limitations，our team has started a new study aiming to find 30，000 volunteers to help us determine which form of training may be best for individuals.Our goal is to avoid a one-size-fits-all approach.Instead of focusing on the simple question of whether brain training works，we are looking to engage the whole population in a new challenge to test for whom brain training works，and under which conditions.
  
  （1）What can affect our memory in particular？

  
  A．Getting ill.
  B．Getting old.
  C．Being upset.
  D．Being injured.
  （2）Which word best describes the scientists' attitude to memory training APPs？

  
  A．Supportive.
  B．Doubtful.
  C．Neutral.
  D．Indifferent.
  （3）Why did the author's team conduct the research？

  
  A．To test whether brain training works.
  B．To develop a training that suits all the people.
  C．To compete with other memory training organizations.
  D．To find the best form of training for different people.
  （4）Where is the article probably taken from？

  
  A．A fashion magazine.
  B．A tour guide.
  C．A science website.
  D．A personal blog.

• 5．Why play sports？You might say "to get exercise" and you would be right.To have fun？That's true，too.But there's more. （1）

  According to the Women's Sports Foundation，girls who play sports get a lot more than just fit.
     Girls who play sports do better in school.You might think that athletics will take up all your study time. （2）

  Exercise improves learning，memory，and concentration，which can give active girls an advantage in the classroom.
     Girls who play sports learn teamwork and goal-setting skills. （3）

  When working with coaches，trainers ，and teammates to win games and achieve goals，you're learning how to be successful.Those skills will serve you well at work and in family life.
  Sports are good for a girl's health.In addition to being fit and keeping a healthy weight，girls who play sports are also less likely to smoke.And later in life，girls who exercise are less likely to get breast cancer or osteoporosis（骨質(zhì)疏松癥）.
     Playing sports improves self-confidence.（4）

  Why？It builds confidence when you know you can practice，improve，and achieve your goals.Sports are also a feel-good activity because they help girls get in shape，keep a healthy weight，and make new friends.
     （5）

  Playing sports can reduce stress and help you feel a little happier.How？The brain chemicals leased during exercise improve a person's mood.Friends are another mood-lifter.And being in a team creates tight bonds between friends.It's good to know your teammates will support you----both on and off the field!
  
  A.Exercise cuts the pressure.
  B.Sports teach valuable life skills.
  C.Regular exercise increases quality of life.
  D.In fact，there are at least five more reasons.
  E.Girls who play sports feel better about themselves.
  F.Playing sports offers children more than just physical benefits.
