About 50 percent of food in the US is wasted. Wasted food produces gas that will cause global warming, and brings other problems like energy emergency. To reduce food waste, people in the food packaging industry are working to develop products for longer shelf life.
Jonathan Deutsch, a professor of food science, says, “All food packaging is designed to explain the contents, protect the quality, and make sure the safety of the product.” When packaging keeps food safe and fresh for a longer time, less waste happens.
Making food last longer is not easy because different foods need different packaging. Fats, for example, change when meeting air and light. That’s why fatty foods, like potato chips, are always kept in packages which light can’t get through. And cookies are afraid of getting wet. Keeping those snacks in a fully closed package will help them stay fresh and tasty longer.
Packaging can extend shelf life by keeping out gases in the air, like oxygen. Oxygen causes problems for many different foods. So many food packages are designed to solve the air problem. Vacuum-sealed(真空封闭的) packaging takes off any oxygen between the food and packaging, which can increase shelf life from a few days to a few weeks. Modified atmosphere packaging(气调包装) is another solution. Unlike vacuum-sealed packaging which takes off as much air as possible, this packaging replaces the air with a right mixture of gases. Red meat needs some oxygen to keep its colour, but too much oxygen can make it go bad. This kind of packaging can extend shelf life while keeping the product’s colour.
While packaging can help reduce food waste, people also need to consider the environmental influence of the packaging itself. Scientists are working to develop more proper materials. And more people get to know the importance of reducing food waste. “Unlike many of the challenges we face right now on our planet,” said Shukla from Food & Wine magazine, “Food waste is something that every single person can do something about.”
26．In Paragraph 3, the writer mentioned potato chips and cookies to ________.
A．explain food must be kept without light B．explain packaging depends on the food type
C．show wasted food is bad for the environment. D．show food goes bad quickly when getting wet
27．What can we learn from the passage?
A．Packages are designed to keep oxygen inside.
B．Vacuum-sealed packaging is used to package red meat.
C．The materials of packages are friendly to the environment.
D．Modified atmosphere packaging mixes air properly in packages.
28．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A．How to Package Food B．Creative Packaging Designs
C．Food Waste: Causes and Solutions D．Packaging: A Way to Fight Food Waste


Sweden is Northern Europe’s largest country. Known for its natural beauty, Sweden is also home to Stockholm, the capital city made up of 14 islands. Here are several interesting facts about this Land of the Midnight Sun.
People in Sweden can enjoy only a few hours of light in winter. Or if people live above the Arctic Circle, none at all. To keep safe in the dark, Swedes have different ways of seeing and being seen. Many places are lighted with high-powered spotlights, and kids wear reflectors sewn onto their clothes. Drivers keep their eyes open because they know children will be outside in the dark.
Being close to the Arctic Circle also means months of ice. Ice is especially good for sparking, which is both a form of transportation and a fun choice for walking. “Spark” means “kick” in Swedish, which is what a person does-kicks the spark along the ice while holding onto the back of the little seat and standing on one blade.
When it comes to waste management, Sweden is ahead of its time. Swedes recycle nearly 50% of what they throw away. What about the other half? This is what makes Sweden different from the rest of the world: the waste goes to a power station where it is burned and changed into energy. In 2016, Sweden even began bringing waste from other countries. In this way, Sweden gets 100 million dollars every year.

In Paris, one freezing winter evening, I was having dinner with my friend, Mr. Dupin, the famous detective. We had just finished our meal, when there was a loud knocking at the door. Dupin opened it. There stood Mr. Germain, the chief of the Paris Police.
We welcomed him warmly, for he was an old acquaintance (熟人) whom we hadn’t seen for a great time.
“I need your assistance,” said Germain. “I met a case(案件) that has been giving me a great deal of trouble. It is very simple but very strange.” 
“Also, please keep this secret. If anyone found out that I told you this. I would certainly lose my job.”
“Well, then,” said the Chief, “I have learned that a very important letter has been stolen from the king. We are sure who stole it and that the letter is in his house.”
“But who would dare do such a thing” I cried.    
“The thief,” said Germain softly, “He’s a man who dares do many dangerous things. He is one of the most powerful and important ministers in the government. He is Minister Danton.”  
“Have you searched his house?”
“A lot of times. While Minister Danton was out, a lot of well-trained police officers carefully searched the entire house, room by room. In fact, we examined everything in the house but found nothing.”…    
A month later, Dupin asked Germain and me to his house. There he took out a letter and handed it to the Chief. We were both very surprised.
Dupin explained, “I know Minister Danton very well. He could not hide the letter in any of the usual hiding places. I realized that he might have left the letter out in the open, right under everyone’s nose, where no one would search for it.”
“Then I visited him with my dark glasses on to help me observe(观察) better. While we were chatting, a dirty, torn letter in the letter holder suddenly caught my eyes—unusual for the Minister, who is careful and neat.”
“I was sure it was the letter.”  
“Then I purposely left my gloves behind so I could come back again.”    
“The next morning, I hired a man to fire a gun on the street, while the Minister went to see what happened, I stole the letter by replacing it with a similar one.” On it Dupin wrote these words:
Your plan was good, but mine was better.    
As you can see, I took the letter.
—Based on a story by Edgar Allan Poe
33．The underlined word “assistance” in the third paragraph probably means ________.
A．hobby B．help C．habit D．holiday
34．Who is the best at solving difficult cases according to the passage?
A．The writer. B．Mr. Germain. C．Mr. Dupin. D．Minister Danton.
35．Dupin did all the following things to help get the letter back EXCEPT ________.
A．wearing his dark glasses when visiting Danton’s house
B．leaving his gloves purposely behind in Danton’s house
C．hiring a man to fire a gun on the street the next morning
D．writing some words on the letter he put into the letter holder
36．From the passage we can infer that ________.

C．Danton and the writer are new friends
D．Germain and Danton are dangerous enemies

【导语】本文介绍了两种中国传统工艺——剪纸和陶艺。
41．句意：中国的每个不同地区都有自己独特的传统艺术形式。tradition“传统”，名词；修饰名词art用形容词traditional“传统的”。故填traditional。
42．句意：最普通的东西，从纸到粘土到竹子，都变成了美丽的物品。主语“The most common things”和谓语动词turn“变成”是被动关系，结合语境可知，此处应用一般现在时的被动语态“be done”；主语为复数，be动词用are。故填are turned。
43．句意：剪纸已有1500多年的历史。根据“for more than 1, 500 years”可知此句用现在完成时“have/has done”；主语“paper cutting”为不可数名词，助动词用has。故填has been。
44．句意：剪纸听起来很简单，但做起来却很难。根据“Paper cutting sounds very easy…it can be difficult to do.”可知，空格前后句意出现转折，应用连词but“但是”。故填but。
45．句意：春节期间，它们被贴在窗户、门和墙上，象征着对好运和新年快乐的祝愿。symbol“象征”，可数名词；主语“they”为复数，此处也应用复数形式。故填symbols。
46．句意：春节期间，它们被贴在窗户、门和墙上，象征着对好运和新年快乐的祝愿。“year”为单数名词，且以辅音音素开头，其前应用不定冠词a修饰。故填a。
47．句意：这些陶土块是用一种非常特殊的粘土手工精心塑造的，然后风干。careful“仔细的”，形容词；修饰动词shaped用副词carefully“认真地，仔细地”。故填carefully。
48．句意：最后，添加木材或纸张等材料来制作不同的东西。make“制作”，动词；根据“materials such as wood or paper are added…different things.”可知，添加木材或纸张是为了制作不同的东西，此处应用动词不定式to make作目的状语。故填to make。
49．句意：完成所有工作需要几个星期。句式“It takes+时间+to do sth.”表示“花费多长时间做某事”。故填It。
50．句意：这些小小的泥塑艺术展现了所有中国人对生活和美丽的热爱。根据“the love that all Chinese people have…life and beauty.”可知，此处表示对生活和美丽的热爱，应用介词for“对”。故填for。
51．strict with herself that she takes lead all the time
【详解】根据题干，短语be strict with sb表示“对某人严格”，她自己：herself；短语so adj that+句子表示“如此……，以至于……”，从句主语：she；处于领先地位：take lead；一直：all the time，句子时态是一般现在时，主语是第三人称单数，谓语动词需要三单式。故填strict with herself that she takes lead all the time。
52． are often thought highly of never shows off
【详解】根据题干，经常：often；高度评价：think highly of，此处是achievements作主语，应用被动语态be+done，时态是一般现在时，主语是复数，be用are；炫耀：show off；从不：never，结合时态与主语，谓语动词需要三单式。故填are often thought highly of；never shows off。
53．whether the question is worth discussing with them/if the question is worth discussing with them
【详解】分析中英文句子可知，动词wonder后接whether/if“是否”引导的宾语从句，时态为一般现在时；the question“这个问题”；be worth doing sth“值得做某事”，主语“question”为第三人称单数，be动词用is；discuss with sb“和某人讨论”；them“他们”，宾格作with的宾语。故填whether/if the question is worth discussing with them。
54．books can we borrow from the library at a time
【详解】how many后加名词复数，“书”books；主语“我们”we；情态动词“能”can，该句是疑问句， can置于主语前；动词短语“从这个图书馆借” borrow from the library，且can后动词用原形；时间状语“一次”at a time。故填books can we borrow from the library at a time。
55． How wise of you to plant trees to prevent the wind and sand
【详解】根据句意可知此句是感叹句，多么明智：How wise；It is +adj.+of sb.+to do sth.“做某事对于某人来说是怎么样的”，这里的形容词是主观的；种树：plant trees；挡风停沙：prevent the wind and sand。故填How wise；of you to plant trees to prevent the wind and sand。
56．try your best to improve yourself instead of losing heart
【详解】try one’s best to do sth“尽全力做某事”，improve oneself“提升自我”；instead of doing sth“而不是做某事”；lose heart“灰心丧气”，should后接动词原形，根据主语You可知，用your代替one’s，反身代词用yourself，故填try your best to improve yourself instead of losing heart。
57．例文：
Some Advice on Developing Labor Education in Our School
It’s reported that Labor Education will be included in the education of middle schools and primary schools in China.
I think it’s important. We can learn some life skills and form good habits. Both will help us a lot in the future.
As for how to run the course in our school, I have some ideas. The school can offer classes to teach us how to do the cleaning and grow plants. What’s more, the school can set up some clubs, such as the cooking club and the paper-cutting club. The school can also hold competitions to see who is the best in making cakes. Such activities make our school life more colorful and meaningful.
I am looking forward to taking the course in the new term. I believe I will do well in it.
