【題目】Every year,billions of kilograms of fresh produce are wasted in the United States.Meanwhile,millions of poor Americans go hungry,without access to healthy and affordable meals.Evan Lutz,CEO and founder of Hungry Harvest,was inspired to act after seeing extreme poverty in areas of Baltimore,Maryland.He wants to reduce the so—called food waste in that area.His work is to make sure no food goes to waste and no person is ever hungry in America.And he combines that goal with a love for business.

Hungry Harvest is a business which collects and sells fruits and vegetables that most food companies will throw away.Everything doesn't grow the same way on a farm.But all that is too big or too small gets thrown out.That is why everything in a grocery store looks similar.Hungry Harvest will box those imperfect ones and deliver them to customers once a week.

For every purchase,Hungry Harvest delivers healthy food to people in need.Hungry Harvest has recovered 300,000 pounds of produce to date and provided 100,000 pounds to those in need.

Lutz established Hungry Harvest in 2014.Its success depends on team work.Every week on Monday or Tuesday they will decide what will go into the next week's box by calling up packing houses and wholesalers to see what they will normally throw away that week.They then place the order.The last step ls to send goods to customers.

In January 2016,Lutz appeared on the American business competition television show "Shark Tank" and got even more than he expected: $100,000.Lutz is using the money to expand.Actually,more than six billion pounds is wasted each year due to "ugly" surface.Hungry Harvest is on the way to saving more food from going to waste and feeding hungry families.

【答案】

【1】A

【2】C

【3】D

【4】D

【解析】文章介紹美國每年有大量的食物被浪費(fèi)，Evan Lutz創(chuàng)辦Hungry Harvest收集食物給饑餓的人。

【1】根據(jù)His work is to make sure no food goes to waste and no person is ever hungry in America. 可知Hungry Harvest被建立的原因就是為了減少貧窮和食物浪費(fèi)。

【2】根據(jù)Hungry Harvest has recovered 300,000 pounds of produce to date and provided 100,000 pounds to those in need. 可猜出"recover"的意思是從廢品中重新使用原料。

【3】通過閱讀文章可知Evan Lutz是很成功的，主要源于以下三個方面，他把他的目標(biāo)和愛融于商業(yè)；他依賴于團(tuán)隊(duì)合作；他心地善良，并且具有創(chuàng)造力，

【4】通過閱讀全文可知，全文中并沒有提到果農(nóng)，所以可知果農(nóng)并沒有從Evan Lutz的貿(mào)易中獲益。

The key to losing weight is to understand what really motivates you. Have you ever been about losing a few pounds? 【1】 And to help you keep your weight under control, you need some coping strategies.

Ask questions. When you’re researching different dieting products and plans or even talking to a doctor about diets, ask as many questions as you can. 【2】 Ask questions like: Do I have to purchase special meals or supplements? Does the program include a part to help me maintain my weight loss?

Get real. 【3】 Don’t burden yourself with unrealistic expectations. Remember, large amounts of weight loss are not realistic and are most likely not safe or healthy. Talk with your health care professional to determine a healthy weight goal.

【4】 To maintain your weight, you must balance your intake of calories with the energy you burn. Just 30 minutes of fast walking in most days can take about 10 pounds off your weight each year.

Weigh yourself weekly. It’s important to track your weight on any diet or weight loss plan, but don’t get on the scale every day. Weighing daily won’t show you the big picture. 【5】

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的七個選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。

The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where we’ve never been before.

But just as in face to face communication, there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when on line. 【1】 Imagine how you’d feel if you were in the other person’s shoes. For anything you’re about to send: ask yourself, “Would I say this to the person’s face?” If the answer is no, rewrite and reread. 【2】

If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct(本能) is to fire back in the same manner. But try not to do so. 【3】 If it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.

【4】 Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake, whether it’s a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, be kind about it. If it’s a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything. Having good manners yourself doesn’t give you license to correct everyone else. 【5】 At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended（冒犯）. It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age, sex and marital(婚姻的) status. Unless you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, don’t ask such questions.

A. If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake, point it out politely.

B. It’s natural that there are some people who speak rudely or make mistakes online.

C. Repeat the process till you feel sure that you’d feel comfortable saying the words to the person’s face.

D. Everyone was new to the network once.

E. The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated.

F. When you send short messages to a person online, you must say something beautiful to hear.

G. You should either ignore the person, or use your chat software to block their messages.
