Often, during his formative years, a 500-year-old ginkgo tree (银杏树) that did not sprout leaves for two to three years at a stretch used to be a daily sight for Yang Zhongkai on his way to and from high school. Since villagers widely regarded it as one that made their wishes come true, they used to kneel down in front of the “lucky” tree and burn offerings under it. This, Yang recalled, led to long-time heat exposure at its roots, stunting its growth.
“Millions of such old trees are in urgent need of protection given their importance as vital biological resources and symbols of ecological civilization,” said Yang, the initiator of a team — Zhiyue — dedicated to protecting ancient trees.
“But the recording and management of ancient and famous trees nationwide commonly rely on Excel spreadsheets, which are troubled by information silos (信息孤岛), lack of real-time updates and incomplete content,” he said.
However, things have changed of late.
Yang and his team now use the artificial intelligence technology developed by Tencent Cloud to identify and register trees accurately, based on individual traits and GPS tracking. They are part of the fourth Light Technology Public Welfare Creation Camp, a science and technology public welfare platform launched by Tencent Holdings. As one of the most influential technology public welfare platforms in China, it aims to encourage more people to solve social problems using scientific and technological knowledge and open up more than 300 AI functions of Tencent Cloud to participants. More than 3,600 teams and 18,000 developers have participated in this influential tech charity platform since its establishment in 2020.
“Digital technologies, represented by AI, large models, and virtual reality, will deeply impact charity through platforms like the camp. Such efforts will create greater value for social development and human progress,” said Guo Kaitian, senior vice-president of Tencent.
24．Why did Yang talk about the ginkgo tree in paragraph 1
A．To introduce the “lucky” tree in his village.
B．To stress the urgency of protecting the tree.
C．To criticize villagers for their wrong wishes.
D．To explain the reason why the tree was dying.
25．What made it difficult to record and manage ancient trees according to Yang
A．Lack of updates.
B．Inaccuracy of updates.
C．Shortage of participants.
D．Lack of real-time monitor.

【导语】本文是新闻报道。文章报道了杨忠凯和他的团队利用腾讯云开发的人工智能技术来准确识别和注册树木，这是科学技术在公益领域的应用。
24．推理判断题。根据第一段“Often, during his formative years, a 500-year-old ginkgo tree (银杏树) that did not sprout leaves for two to three years at a stretch used to be a daily sight for Yang Zhongkai on his way to and from high school. Since villagers widely regarded it as one that made their wishes come true, they used to kneel down in front of the “lucky” tree and burn offerings under it. This, Yang recalled, led to long-time heat exposure at its roots, stunting its growth.(在杨忠凯成长的过程中，一棵500岁的银杏树是他每天上下学路上的常见景象，而这棵树曾连续两到三年没有发芽。由于村民们普遍认为这棵树有求必应，他们常常跪在这棵“幸运树”前，在树下焚烧祭品。杨回忆道，这导致树根长时间受热，从而阻碍了它的生长)”以及第二段““Millions of such old trees are in urgent need of protection given their importance as vital biological resources and symbols of ecological civilization,” said Yang, the initiator of a team — Zhiyue — dedicated to protecting ancient trees.(“数以百万计的古树急需保护，因为它们是重要的生物资源和生态文明的象征，”杨说，他是一个致力于保护古树的团队“植
樾”的发起人)”可知，本段提到银杏树，是以银杏树为例子来强调保护树木的紧迫性。故选B项。
25．细节理解题。根据第三段““But the recording and management of ancient and famous trees nationwide commonly rely on Excel spreadsheets, which are troubled by information silos (信息孤岛), lack of real-time updates and incomplete content,” he said.(“但全国古树名木的记录和管理普遍依赖于Excel电子表格，存在信息孤岛、缺乏实时更新、内容不完整等问题，”他说)”可知，缺乏更新使得古树的记录和管理变得困难。故选A项。
26．细节理解题。根据第四段“They are part of the fourth Light Technology Public Welfare Creation Camp, a science and technology public welfare platform launched by Tencent Holdings. As one of the most influential technology public welfare platforms in China, it aims to encourage more people to solve social problems using scientific and technological knowledge and open up more than 300 AI functions of Tencent Cloud to participants.(他们是第四届光科技公益创造营的成员，这是腾讯控股推出的科技公益平台。作为中国最具影响力的科技公益平台之一，它旨在鼓励更多人用科技知识解决社会问题，并向参与者开放腾讯云的300多项AI功能)”可知，第四届光科技公益创造营的目标是激发社会问题的解决方案。故选C项。

Satellites are an important part of our ordinary lives. For example, the information for weather forecasts is sent by satellite. Some satellites have cameras which take photographs of Earth to show how clouds are moving. Satellites are also used to connect our phone calls.
Computer connections of the World Wide Web and the Internet also use satellites. Many of our TV programs come to us by satellite. Airplane pilots sometimes also use a satellite to help them find their exact location.
We use satellites to send television pictures from one part of the world to another. They are usually 35,880 kilometers above the equator (赤道). Sometimes we can see a satellite in the sky and it seems to stay in the same place. This is because it is moving around the world at 11,000 kilometers an hour — exactly the same speed that the Earth rotates (转动). A satellite must move around the Earth with its antennae (天线) facing the Earth. Sometimes, it moves away from its orbit (轨道), so there are some rockets on it which are used to put the satellite
back in the right position. This usually happens about every five or six days.
Space is not empty! Every week, more and more satellites are sent into space to orbit Earth. A satellite usually works for about 10-12 years. Satellites which are broken are sometimes repaired by astronauts or sometimes brought back to Earth to be repaired. Often, very old or broken satellites are left in space to orbit Earth for a very long time. This is very serious because some satellites use nuclear power and they can crash into each other.
28．Which of the following is NOT done by satellite according to the passage
A．Sending information for weather forecasts.
B．Taking photographs of the Earth.
C．Sending TV pictures to the Earth.
D．Providing food for airplane pilots.
29．What’s the speed that the Earth rotates at
A．35,880 kilometers per hour.
B．335,880 kilometers per hour.
C．11,000 kilometers per hour.
D．110,000 kilometers per hour.
30．What does the underlined word “This” in the third paragraph refer to
A．A satellite moves around the Earth forever.
B．A rocket always keeps a satellite’s company.
C．A satellite seems to stay in the same place in the sky.
D．The satellite puts the rockets in the right position.
31．Which of the following statements about satellites is TRUE
A．A satellite usually works for about 10-12 years.
B．Every time a satellite gets broken, it is thrown away.
C．A broken satellite is never left in space.
D．Broken satellites always crash into each other.
【答案】28．D 29．C 30．C 31．A
【导语】本文为一篇说明文，介绍了卫星的工作原理和用途及使用时限。
28．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“For example, the information for weather forecasts is sent by satellite. Some
satellites have cameras which take photographs of Earth to show how clouds are moving.(例如，天气预报的信息是由卫星发送的。有些卫星装有照相机，可以拍摄地球的照片，以显示云是如何移动的)”及第二段“Many of our TV programs come to us by satellite.(我们的许多电视节目是通过卫星播送的)”及第三段“We use satellites to send television pictures from one part of the world to another.(我们用卫星把电视图片从世界的一个地方传送到另一个地方)”可知，文章提到了卫星可以用来发送天气预报信息、拍摄地球照片、发送电视图片到地球，没有提到为飞行员提供食物。故选D。
29．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“This is because it is moving around the world at 11,000 kilometers an hour — exactly the same speed that the Earth rotates(转动).(这是因为它以每小时11000公里的速度绕地球运行——与地球自转的速度完全相同)”可知，地球以每小时11000公里的速度自转。故选C。
30．词义猜测题。根据文章第三段划线词前文“Sometimes we can see a satellite in the sky and it seems to stay in the same place.(有时我们可以在天空中看到一颗卫星，它似乎停留在同一个地方)”可知，This指代前文提到的一颗卫星似乎停留在天空的同一个地方。故选C。
31．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“A satellite usually works for about 10-12 years.(一颗卫星通常工作10-12年)”可知，一颗卫星的工作时间大约在10-12年。故选A。
D
Part of the reason American shoppers are so attracted to wholesale shopping is their belief that it not only prevents waste but can save time and money, providing more value for the dollar. However, recent research suggests that the opposite may be true.
Victoria Ligon, an expert on consumer sciences, studied food purchasing habits of consumers and found that people tended to buy too much food and waste more of it than they realized. “The problem is that people are not shopping frequently enough,” Ligon said, “People are very price sensitive at the grocery store, but tend to fail to notice the cost of unused and wasted food at home.”
A common practice is to visit different stores for different items on a grocery list, “But people tend to overbuy at each of the places,” Ligon said. “People are not planning for the next day, but planning for the next week or two.”
“In theory, planning a week or more in advance sounds ideal. But given the reality of many people’s lives, this is challenging to do well,” Ligon said. “All of our food promotions are designed to get people to buy more. We believe it’s cheaper if we buy more now, but we rarely take into account how much we throw out in the end.”
Ligon noted shifts in the grocery industry that appear promising to help customers reduce food waste.
Examples include cost-effective delivery services such as Amazon Fresh and Google Express, which allow consumers to purchase food items when they want to consume them, also reducing their need to frequent so many different stores. However, the study resulted in another troubling finding: The majority of people involved in the study had no idea that they were buying too much and wasting so much.
“When you read advice about reducing waste, it usually centers on what people do after the food is purchased,” Ligon said. “But more importantly, shop on a more frequent basis, so that you are only buying what you are going to consume in the short term.”
32．What do people often ignore when buying food in large quantities
A．How good the food is. B．How much will be wasted.
C．How much the food costs. D．How often they should shop.
33．What is the author’s attitude towards meal planning for the next two weeks
A．It is worth trying. B．It is not practical.
C．It takes great effort. D．It is not good for health.
34．What is the advantage of Amazon Fresh and Google Express
A．Food prices are lowered. B．Food waste is prevented.
C．Food consumption is reduced. D．Food purchasing can be done at home.
35．What can be the best title for the passage
A．Shop More, Buy Less B．Shop Wisely, Eat Wisely
C．Consume More, Waste Less D．The More You Shop, the More You Waste
【答案】32．B 33．B 34．D 35．A
【导语】这是一篇说明文。研究发现人们往往会一次性购买过多的食品，浪费的食物比他们意识到的要多，为了减少食物浪费，人们应该提高购物频率，这样就会只买短期内要消费的东西。
32．细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“Victoria Ligon, an expert on consumer sciences, studied food purchasing habits of consumers and found that people tended to buy too much food and waste more of it than they realized.(消费者科学专家维多利亚·利根研究了消费者的食品购买习惯，发现人们往往会购买过多的食品，浪费的食物比他们意识到的要多。)”可知，人们在大量购买食物时经常忽略多少会被浪费。故选B。
33．推理判断题。根据第四段第一句““In theory, planning a week or more in advance sounds ideal. But given the reality of many people’s lives, this is challenging to do well,” Ligon said.(“从理论上讲，提前一周或更长时间计划听起来很理想。但考虑到许多人的现实生活，做好这一点是具有挑战性的。”利冈说。)”可知，作者认为
提前做未来两周的膳食计划并不实际。故选B。
34．细节理解题。根据第五段第二句“Examples include cost-effective delivery services such as Amazon Fresh and Google Express, which allow consumers to purchase food items when they want to consume them, also reducing their need to frequent so many different stores.(例如，亚马逊生鲜和谷歌快递等具有成本效益的配送服务允许消费者在他们想要消费的时候购买食品，也减少了他们频繁光顾许多不同商店的需要。)”和第一句“Ligon noted shifts in the grocery industry that appear promising to help customers reduce food waste.(利冈指出，食品杂货行业的转变似乎有望帮助消费者减少食物浪费。)”可知，亚马逊生鲜和谷歌快递的优势是食品购买可以在家里完成。故选D。
35．主旨大意题。根据第二段“Victoria Ligon, an expert on consumer sciences, studied food purchasing habits of consumers and found that people tended to buy too much food and waste more of it than they realized. “The problem is that people are not shopping frequently enough,” Ligon said, “People are very price sensitive at the grocery store, but tend to fail to notice the cost of unused and wasted food at home.”(消费者科学专家维多利亚·利根研究了消费者的食品购买习惯，发现人们往往会购买过多的食品，浪费的食物比他们意识到的要多。“问题在于人们购物的频率不够高，”利冈说，“人们在杂货店对价格非常敏感，但往往不会注意到家里未使用和浪费食物的成本。”)”和最后一段““When you read advice about reducing waste, it usually centers on what people do after the food is purchased,” Ligon said. “But more importantly, shop on a more frequent basis, so that you are only buying what you are going to consume in the short term.”(利根说：“当你读到关于减少浪费的建议时，它通常集中在人们购买食物后的行为上。但更重要的是，更频繁地购物，这样你就只买你短期内要消费的东西。”)”可知，文章主要是讲为了减少食物浪费，人们应该提高购物频率。所以，A项“Shop More, Buy Less”作为本文的题目，与文章主题相符合。故选A。

阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Art is all around us. It can be found everywhere, including fancy galleries, people’s living rooms, and on the sides of buildings. So, why is art important
It promotes expression and creativity. As humans, we’re naturally drawn to art as a form of expression and communication. 36 It’s a way for them to express themselves before they’re able to speak. In fact, participation in the arts may even assist kids with language, motor skills, and visual learning development.
37 . When someone applies for a job, there are certain skills they need to have like data analysis or bookkeeping. However, many employers also understand the very important need for the skills which are hard to
measure and often difficult to define. Some examples include a person’s ability to adapt to change, think creatively, or collaborate with team members.
It provides historical context. 38 . This is why people dedicate their lives to studying cave art, Shakespearean plays, and so much more. When we take the time to dive into art created in the past, we can learn about other generations and eras. We can study art to find out what those before us were facing and how they overcame it. 39 .

第二节(共10小题；每小题1.5分 ，满分15分）
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Organizing a big event is a very difficult and stressful task. One of the 56 (common) challenges that an organizer would face are issues about security and crowd control. If things are not 57 (good) organized, security issues like a major stampede can happen anytime.
The 58 (define) of stampedes is a situation in which a group of people or large animals suddenly start running in the same direction, especially because they are scared or excited. The situation causes an uproar which may 59 (threat) people’s lives or cause property damages, and in extreme cases it can lead up to lots of deaths.
The incidents 60 people have been caught in deadly stampedes are on the rise. Over the last 18
months alone, we 61 (witness) seven tragic incidents with at least 407 people losing their lives. On Saturday, more than 150 people, mainly young women and men 62 their teens and 20s, were killed when a 100,000-strong crowd were crushed on a narrow street during Halloween festivities in Itaewon, in South Korea’s capital, Seoul.
There is evidence 63 people’s security awareness plays a vital part in avoiding such tragedies. 64 (have) the knowledge and awareness of how to spot and effectively handle dangerous situations will enable people to make the right decisions for themselves. No matter where you are, you should take a moment 65 (make) a mental note of all the exits in a venue as soon as you arrive. Move in the same direction of the crowd. Keep your hands up by your chest, like a boxer. If you fall, get up quickly. If you can’t get up, get someone to pull you up or cover your head with your arms. Curl up into the fetal position (do not lay on your stomach or back, as this dangerously exposes your lungs).
【答案】
56．commonest 57．well 58．definition 59．threaten 60．where 61．have witnessed 62．in 63．that 64．Having 65．to make
【导语】本文为说明文，主要讲述了如何预防踩踏事件。
56．考查形容词最高级。句意：组织者面临的最常见挑战之一是安全和人群控制问题。形容词common意为“常见的”，“one of+the+形容词最高级+可数名词的复数”是固定搭配，表示“最……的其中之一”。故填commonest。
57．考查副词。句意：如果事情没有很好地组织，像重大踩踏事件这样的安全问题随时可能发生。分析句子结构可知，本空填good的副词形式well，意为“很好地”，作状语，修饰动词organized。故填well。
58．考查名词。句意：踩踏的定义是一群人或大型动物突然开始朝同一方向奔跑，特别是因为他们害怕或兴奋。结合定冠词the和系动词is可知，此处用名词的单数形式definition“定义”，做主语。故填definition。
59．考查动词。句意：这种情况引起了轩然大波，可能会威胁到人们的生命或造成财产损失，在极端情况下，可能会导致许多人死亡。结合句意和情态动词may可知，may后用动词原形threaten“威胁”，是定语从句中谓语动词。故填threaten。
60．考查定语从句。句意：人们在致命踩踏事件中受伤的事件呈上升趋势。分析句子结构可知，空出引导定语从句，先行词为incidents“事件”，在从句中作地点状语，故填关系副词where，引导定语从句。故填where。
61．考查动词时态。句意：仅在过去18个月里，我们就目睹了7起悲剧事件，至少407人丧生。动词
witness，意为“目睹”。时间状语为Over the last 18 months alone“仅在过去18个月里”，故用现在完成时，且主语为we，故谓语动词用“have+动词过去分词”。故填have witnessed。
62．考查介词。句意：周六，韩国首都首尔梨泰院万圣节庆祝活动期间，10万人挤在一条狭窄的街道上，造成150多人死亡，其中主要是十几岁和二十多岁的年轻男女。in one’s teens表示“在某人十几岁的时候”，固定结构。故填in。
63．考查同位语从句。句意：有证据表明，人们的安全意识对避免此类悲剧起着至关重要的作用。evidence意为“证据”。此处引导evidence的同位语从句，且从句中不缺成分和含义，故填that，引导同位语从句。故填that。
64．考查非谓语动词。句意：具备如何发现和有效处理危险情况的知识和意识将使人们能够自己做出正确的决定。分析句子结构可知，“_____(have) the knowledge and awareness of how to spot and effectively handle dangerous situations”为句子主语，故本空填动名词Having，意为“有”，作主语，且首字母大写。故填Having。
65．考查非谓语动词。句意：无论你身在何处，一到会场，你都应该花点时间记下所有的出口。分析句子结构可知，should take为主句谓语，故本空为非谓语，故填to make，作目的状语，make a mental note of sth.意为“记下某物”。故填to make。

The Students’ Union
【答案】
Dear fellow students,
As President of the Students Union, I am writing to all students to call for a collective effort towards developing healthy lifestyles. It is widely known that healthy habits are key to benefiting not only our physical condition but also our mind.
Unfortunately, students often ignore the importance of leading healthy lifestyles. The most frequently neglected ones are often a balanced diet, enough sleep, and regular exercise. We need to make sure that we do not let our study damage our health. Instead, we should take regular break, avoid late-night study and increase our physical activities.
As the old saying goes, “Health is wealth”. Let’s band together, my fellow students, and make a promise to lead healthy lives.

She couldn’t help crying sadly when she thought of the scolding (责骂) from her mother. Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt hungry and wished for something to eat, but it was impossible for her, since she had nothing with her. She stood beside a stand for a while, watching the seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she sighed and had to leave.
The seller noticed the young girl and asked “Hey, do you want to have the noodles ”
“Oh, yes ... but I don’t have money on me ...” she replied.
“That’s nothing. I’ll treat you today,” said the man, “come in.”
The seller brought her a bowl of tasty noodles. As she was eating, Jenny cried silently.
“What is it ” asked the man kindly.
“I was just touched by your kindness!” said Jenny as she wiped her tears, “Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother, drove me out of the house. She is so merciless compared to a stranger!”
Hearing the words, the seller smiled “I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you number the times she cooked for you Have you expressed your gratitude to her ”
Jenny sat there, speechless, she remembered mother’s familiar face. “Why did I not think of that I appreciated a bowl of noodles from a stranger, but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me.”

Jenny couldn’t help throwing herself into her mother’s arms.” Mum, I’m so sorry and thank you for all you have done for me. She expressed her sincere apology and great gratitude. Hearing this, her mother smiled patting her back gently.

Often, during his formative years, a 500-year-old ginkgo tree (银杏树) that did not sprout leaves for two to three years at a stretch used to be a daily sight for Yang Zhongkai on his way to and from high school. Since villagers widely regarded it as one that made their wishes come true, they used to kneel down in front of the “lucky” tree and burn offerings under it. This, Yang recalled, led to long-time heat exposure at its roots, stunting its growth.
“Millions of such old trees are in urgent need of protection given their importance as vital biological resources and symbols of ecological civilization,” said Yang, the initiator of a team — Zhiyue — dedicated to protecting ancient trees.
“But the recording and management of ancient and famous trees nationwide commonly rely on Excel spreadsheets, which are troubled by information silos (信息孤岛), lack of real-time updates and incomplete content,” he said.
However, things have changed of late.
Yang and his team now use the artificial intelligence technology developed by Tencent Cloud to identify and register trees accurately, based on individual traits and GPS tracking. They are part of the fourth Light Technology Public Welfare Creation Camp, a science and technology public welfare platform launched by Tencent Holdings. As one of the most influential technology public welfare platforms in China, it aims to encourage more people to solve social problems using scientific and technological knowledge and open up more than 300 AI functions of Tencent Cloud to participants. More than 3,600 teams and 18,000 developers have participated in this influential tech charity platform since its establishment in 2020.
“Digital technologies, represented by AI, large models, and virtual reality, will deeply impact charity through platforms like the camp. Such efforts will create greater value for social development and human progress,” said Guo Kaitian, senior vice-president of Tencent.

Satellites are an important part of our ordinary lives. For example, the information for weather forecasts is sent by satellite. Some satellites have cameras which take photographs of Earth to show how clouds are moving. Satellites are also used to connect our phone calls.
Computer connections of the World Wide Web and the Internet also use satellites. Many of our TV programs come to us by satellite. Airplane pilots sometimes also use a satellite to help them find their exact location.
We use satellites to send television pictures from one part of the world to another. They are usually 35,880 kilometers above the equator (赤道). Sometimes we can see a satellite in the sky and it seems to stay in the same place. This is because it is moving around the world at 11,000 kilometers an hour — exactly the same speed that the Earth rotates (转动). A satellite must move around the Earth with its antennae (天线) facing the Earth. Sometimes, it moves away from its orbit (轨道), so there are some rockets on it which are used to put the satellite back in the right position. This usually happens about every five or six days.
Space is not empty! Every week, more and more satellites are sent into space to orbit Earth. A satellite usually works for about 10-12 years. Satellites which are broken are sometimes repaired by astronauts or sometimes brought back to Earth to be repaired. Often, very old or broken satellites are left in space to orbit Earth for a very long time. This is very serious because some satellites use nuclear power and they can crash into each other.
28．Which of the following is NOT done by satellite according to the passage
A．Sending information for weather forecasts.
B．Taking photographs of the Earth.
C．Sending TV pictures to the Earth.
D．Providing food for airplane pilots.
29．What’s the speed that the Earth rotates at
A．35,880 kilometers per hour.
B．335,880 kilometers per hour.
C．11,000 kilometers per hour.
D．110,000 kilometers per hour.
30．What does the underlined word “This” in the third paragraph refer to
A．A satellite moves around the Earth forever.
B．A rocket always keeps a satellite’s company.
C．A satellite seems to stay in the same place in the sky.
D．The satellite puts the rockets in the right position.
31．Which of the following statements about satellites is TRUE
A．A satellite usually works for about 10-12 years.
B．Every time a satellite gets broken, it is thrown away.
C．A broken satellite is never left in space.
D．Broken satellites always crash into each other.

Part of the reason American shoppers are so attracted to wholesale shopping is their belief that it not only prevents waste but can save time and money, providing more value for the dollar. However, recent research suggests that the opposite may be true.
Victoria Ligon, an expert on consumer sciences, studied food purchasing habits of consumers and found that people tended to buy too much food and waste more of it than they realized. “The problem is that people are not shopping frequently enough,” Ligon said, “People are very price sensitive at the grocery store, but tend to fail to notice the cost of unused and wasted food at home.”
A common practice is to visit different stores for different items on a grocery list, “But people tend to overbuy at each of the places,” Ligon said. “People are not planning for the next day, but planning for the next week or two.”
“In theory, planning a week or more in advance sounds ideal. But given the reality of many people’s lives, this is challenging to do well,” Ligon said. “All of our food promotions are designed to get people to buy more. We believe it’s cheaper if we buy more now, but we rarely take into account how much we throw out in the end.”
Ligon noted shifts in the grocery industry that appear promising to help customers reduce food waste. Examples include cost-effective delivery services such as Amazon Fresh and Google Express, which allow
consumers to purchase food items when they want to consume them, also reducing their need to frequent so many different stores. However, the study resulted in another troubling finding: The majority of people involved in the study had no idea that they were buying too much and wasting so much.
“When you read advice about reducing waste, it usually centers on what people do after the food is purchased,” Ligon said. “But more importantly, shop on a more frequent basis, so that you are only buying what you are going to consume in the short term.”
32．What do people often ignore when buying food in large quantities
A．How good the food is. B．How much will be wasted.
C．How much the food costs. D．How often they should shop.
33．What is the author’s attitude towards meal planning for the next two weeks
A．It is worth trying. B．It is not practical.
C．It takes great effort. D．It is not good for health.
34．What is the advantage of Amazon Fresh and Google Express
A．Food prices are lowered. B．Food waste is prevented.
C．Food consumption is reduced. D．Food purchasing can be done at home.
35．What can be the best title for the passage
A．Shop More, Buy Less B．Shop Wisely, Eat Wisely
C．Consume More, Waste Less D．The More You Shop, the More You Waste

Jenny was the only child in her home. She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn’t help crying sadly when she thought of the scolding (责骂) from her mother. Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt hungry and wished for something to eat, but it was impossible for her, since she had nothing with her. She stood beside a stand for a while, watching the seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she sighed and had to leave.
The seller noticed the young girl and asked “Hey, do you want to have the noodles ”
“Oh, yes ... but I don’t have money on me ...” she replied.
“That’s nothing. I’ll treat you today,” said the man, “come in.”
The seller brought her a bowl of tasty noodles. As she was eating, Jenny cried silently.
“What is it ” asked the man kindly.
“I was just touched by your kindness!” said Jenny as she wiped her tears, “Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother, drove me out of the house. She is so merciless compared to a stranger!”
Hearing the words, the seller smiled “I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you number the times she cooked for you Have you expressed your gratitude to her ”
Jenny sat there, speechless, she remembered mother’s familiar face. “Why did I not think of that I appreciated a bowl of noodles from a stranger, but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me.”
