7.Too Good To Go,an app operating in the UK,allows users to order leftover food at a discount from restaurants,according lo the website.The goal is to help cut food waste.
Users simply log in,pick a restaurant,pay trough the app and then pick up their food at a set time-usually around closing or after peak meal times.Orders through the app cost between 2 British pounds (2.60)to3.80Britishpounds(about 5).Users aren't able to pick the food items,but they get an idea of the type of food that will be available,according to Business Green.
Users also have the option to give meals to people in need by donating 1 British pound or more through the app.More than l,l00 meals have been donated so far.
To ensure the entire experience is super eco-friendly.Too Good To Go provides recyclable takeout packaging to participating restaurants.
Restaurants using the app make extra money by selling food hat would otherwisehave been throw away.And Too Good To Go itself makes money by taking a fee from participating restaurants on each sale.
Founded in Denmark last year.Too Good To Go launched this year in the UK and is expanding to other countries.The app is available in Brighton.Birmingham,Manchester and Leeds,and will be in London later this month.
"Food waste just seems like one of the dumbest(愚蠢) problems we have in this world,"co-founder James Crummie told Business Green."The restaurant industry is waiting about 600,000 tonnes of food each year,and in the UK alone there are one million people on emergency food parcels from food banks.Why do we have these two massive social issues that are completely connected,yet there is not much going on to address them?"
Too Good To Go has already helped cut a significant amount of waste.So far,the app has saved 600 meals from landfills in the UK,reports Business Green.

18.By day,Clark Kent is a journalist who fights for truth and disadvantaged groups in Metropolis.But when the shy man removes his glasses,Clark Kent is gone.He becomes Superman.Not even his colleagues,including Lois Lane who often reports stories about Superman,realize that the flying superhero works with them.Personally,I've always found Superman's"disguise (偽裝)"extremely funny,but then again it's just something you accept as part of the Superman universe.However,obviously wearing glasses does indeed make it hard for people to recognize you,according to a recent study.
People of Metropolis are not the fools everyone thinks they are.Researchers from University of York's Department of Psychology showed participants faces of people.The pictures were presented in pairs in three groups:glasses-wearing faces,a pair with only one person wearing glasses,and finally a pair with no one wearing glasses.Each participant had to judge whether the faces shown in each pair were the same person or not.
In those cases where both of the faces wore glasses or where neither wore glasses,participants were right 80percent of the time.When one face wore glasses,and the other didn't,participants were much less able to identify when the same person was there,scoring about six percent lower.
These findings suggest that,generally,people find it difficult to match strangers'faces.When they wear glasses,the challenge is even greater.
Besides proving Clark Kent could have actually made it,the results could be useful to improve the security of passports and other ID cards.
"We hope that this research can be used by governments to help inform future policies on identification for security purposes,particularly in the UK where individuals who normally wear glasses are required to remove them for their identification cards,"the researchers wrote.

29.What did the author think of Superman's disguise?A
A.Unnecessary.
B.Logical.
C.Smart.
D.Unique.
30.What were the participants supposed to do with each pair of faces?B
A.Understand the importance of wearing glasses.
B.Tell whether they belong to the same person or not.
C.Explore the differences between the two faces.
D.Realize how wearing glasses can trick people.
31.How can the research finding be applied to the UK's security policies?D
A.Passports would include more pictures of a person.
B.Individuals have to take off their glasses in public.
C.All the passports and ID cards need to be updated.
D.People could probably wear glasses for their ID cards.
32.What would be the best title for the text?C
A.A study on wearing glasses.
B.Why does Superman wear glasses?
C.Superman's disguise is not that stupid.
D.Remove your glasses for security purposes.

12.I've learned that you have to take the initiative if you want to get anywhere.If you just let other people decide what is going to happen for you,then all your goals and dreams may never be achieved.
Everyone always says that studying abroad in college can change your life.I made the decision to experience it for myself during my junior year.I chose to study in the Dominican Republic.As it got closer to the deadline,an advisor told me I had received a scholarship from an alumni (校友) family foundation (基金).
During my first semester in the country I fell in love.I was becoming bilingual (雙語的) but also learning so much about a new culture.I had begun working with a local grassroots (草根) organization,taking part in a project supporting an underdeveloped community just outside the city.My main role was to become aware of the issues facing populations such as these and support community education.I was in no way ready to leave this new life.I felt as if I needed more time to get what I wanted.
As the next semester began,I realized again that I needed to take a chance.I got involved with a local boarding school for girls living in poverty.I first approached the head of the school to volunteer to teach music classes,asking for money from my college church.I could have never predicted the results of this small action.Another volunteer and I were able to put together a benefit (義演) to show off what the students had learned.We invited community members,friends and other students from local universities to support the girls.We also sold art that the students themselves had created to increase the funding (資助) of the arts program.I felt good when I left,knowing that I had laid the foundation for a good cause and bettered the lives of young girls.
There will always be people that think they know what is best for you,but you ultimately know what you want in life.My time in the Dominican Republic changed my life by giving me the realization of how fortunate I am and the fact that there is always a chance to give back.You have to go after anything and everything you desire or there may be a missed opportunity.My trip to Santo Domingo taught me to take advantage of new possibilities.
By Melissa Chapman,

19.Tired of all the pushing in supermarkets?Fed up with waiting in endless lines to pay for what you have bought?Angry at wasting time in traffic jams only to find no parking spaces when you eventually arrive at the store?If this is you,then online shopping is the answer to your dreams of trouble-free shopping.Or is it?
Online shopping brings its own challenges.Here are a few things to bear in mind when browsing various websites.The claim made by online sites is that shoppingonline is a safe and secure way to make purchases.The evidence challenges this.In any case,you only have to be the victim of fraud (詐騙) once to experience all the problems that come with this form of stealing.Use only sites that have a trusted history and an excellent reputation.
Another problem is the appearance of items in reality is often quite different from what you see on your computer screen.This might not be a problem if you are buying washing up powder but could be a major disappointment when that beautiful blue dress you ordered turns up in green.Also,product descriptions are sometimes simply untrue.Perhaps the wisest plan is to purchase items where design and color are not essential to customer satisfaction.
Some even argue that online shopping indirectly contributes to global warming.Yes,your car can stay parked but how are online goods delivered?Often by some large vans pouring out carbon monoxide and adding to our already desperate traffic problems.You are also by now becoming increasingly irritated (使煩惱) by the fact that the delivery is late and you have wasted the leave from work you have taken to receive it!
Without question,online shopping is here to stay and it has its benefits.However,perhaps it is not as wonderful as some of its supporters claim it to be.

59.The author lists several questions in Para.1 toD.
A.support online shopping              B.collect answers from readers
C.show his dislike of going shopping       D.introduce the topic of the passage
60.The author agrees with the fact thatD.
A.customers are never satisfied with online products
B.online shopping is a safe way to make purchases
C.online shopping has nothing to do with global warming
D.delivery delay often makes online shoppers unhappy
61.What is the author's attitude towards online shopping?C
A.Very popular.B.A wise choice.C.Not trouble free.D.A waste of time.

16.The British are supposed to be famous for laughing at themselves,but even their sense of humor has a limit,as the British retailer Gerald Ratner found out to his cost.
When Ratner took over his father's chain of 140jewelry shops in 1984,he introduced a very clear company policy.He decided that his shops should sell down market products at the lowest possible prices.It was a great success.The Brithish public loved his cheap gold earrings and his tasteless silver decorations.By 1991,Ratner's company had 2,400 shops and it was worth over 680million pounds.But in April of that year,Gerald Ratner made a big mistake.At a bit meeting of top British business people,he suited up and explained the secret of his success-People say"How can we sell our goods for such a low price?".He say"Because they are absolute rubbish."His audience burst out laughing.But the British newspapers and the British public were not so amused.People felt  insulted and stayed away from Ratner's shops.
Sales fell and six months after his speech,Ratner's share price had fallen by 42%.The following year,things got worse and Gerald Ratner was forced to resign.By the end of 1992,he lost his company,his career and his house.Even worse,25,000of his employees had lost their jobs.It had been a very expensive joke.

28.What are the British noted for according to the passage?C
A.Their jewelry shops.
B.Their love for jewelry.
C.Their jokes about themselves.
D.Their harmless humor.
29.How did Ratner achieve success in his business?B
A.He cut down his labor cost.
B.He adopted an effective business model.
C.He employed a lot of new staff.
D.He developed great relations with business VIPs.
30.Which of the following can best replace the underlined word"insulted"?A
A.Offended.
B.Amazed.
C.Abused.
D.Attracted.
31.What does the story of Gerald Ratner suggest?D
A.Action speaks louder than words.
B.What goes around comes around.
C.A friend in need is a friend indeed.
D.A man may dig his grave with his teeth.
