21、The story of the most sustainable pair of jeans is also the story of a family whose members have dedicated their lives to denim innovation. It is the great-great-grandson of the family business founder who has brought Candiani and whole fashion industry to new heights by creating the first fully biodegradable stretch denim.
Alberto Candiani, the current owner of Candiani, created the first fully biodegradable jeans using a plant-based yarn obtained from natural rubber. Once the innovative denim came to life, a brand new pair of jeans was put to the test by being buried in forest land for six months. At the end of that period, Candiani’s team discovered the fibers had almost fully broken down. The new technology is called Coreva. “These garments are extremely durable, but at the end of their life, you could send them back to us and we recycle them, or you could fertilize your vegetables with them,” Alberto Candiani said.
Jeans generate an environmental impact that has become a real global challenge. According to the United Nations Environment Programme, it takes around 2000 gallons of water to make a typical pair of jeans. And during production, around 71 pounds of carbon dioxide are released. What’s more, most jeans are manufactured with stretch denim made with plastic, which can take hundreds of years to degrade.
But by creating a circular model in which fabrics are biodegradable at the end of their lifecycle, tons of garments can be prevented from ending up in landfills. Candiani has not only achieved this by going plastic-free, but the manufacturer has also reduced water use by 75 percent and the use of chemicals by 65 percent. Although Candiani creates a product that is about double the price of traditional denim due to the higher labor and more manufacturing costs involved, business is booming. Not only has the company tripled its production, but its motto of “the greenest mill in the blue world” is credible.
【1】What is highlighted about Candiani in paragraph 1?
A．It is dedicated to clothing innovation.
B．It has the most sustainable pair of jeans.
C．It enters a new phase by creating greener fabrics.
D．Its founder’s taken the fashion industry to a new level.
【2】What do we know about the innovative denim?
A．It can be reused to nourish plants.
B．It is made of recycled materials.
C．It uses Coreva to make it extremely durable.
D．It can last for six months under the forest land.
【3】What’s the function of paragraph 3 in the passage?
A．To explain the possible reasons for global warming.
B．To show the bad effects of jeans on the environment.
C．To raise people’s awareness of environmental protection.
D．To emphasize the value of the new denim by contrast.
【4】Which of the following can best describe Candiani’s innovation?
A．Doing a hard but thankless job.
B．Killing two birds with one stone.
C．Putting the cart before the horse.
D．Solving the problem one and for all.
22、
Bacteria are the one of the main food poisoners. So, to get food on the table safely, you need to know and follow the rules for food care.
KEEP FOOD HOT
High food temperatures (165°F to 212°F) reached in boiling, baking, frying, and roasting kill most food poisoning bacteria. If you want to delay serving cooked food, though, you have to keep it at a holding temperature - roughly 140°F to 165°F. Steam tables and chafing dishes are designed to maintain holding temperatures. But they don’t always keep food hot enough. So it’s not wise to leave hot food out more than 2 hours.
When cooked food is left out unheated, the possibility of bacterial growth is greater, since the food quickly drops to room temperature where food poisoners multiply.
To serve hot foods safely - particularly meat and poultry, which are highly affected by food poisoning - follow these rules:
• Cook thoroughly - Cook meat and poultry to the “doneness” temperatures given in the above chart. To make sure that meat and poultry are cooked all the way through, use a meat thermometer (温度计). Insert the tip into the thickest part of the meat, avoiding fat or bone.
• Don’t interrupt cooking - Cook meat and poultry completely at one time. Partial cooking may encourage bacterial growth before cooking is complete.
• Cooking frozen food - Allow frozen food more time to cook - generally 1.5 times the period required for food that has been thawed (解冻).
【1】At what temperature do bacteria grow the fastest?
A．40ºC~ 60ºC.
B．60ºF~125ºF.
C．40ºC~ 140ºC.
D．125ºF~140ºF.
【2】To keep food safe, it is suggested that ______.
A．hot food should not be left out over two hours.
B．frozen food should be thawed with a microwave oven.
C．raw ham should be cooked to the “doneness” temperature at 71ºF.
D．steam tables and chafing dishes should be used to keep food hot enough.
【3】What can be learned according to the guideline?
A．The only way to ensure food safety is to keep it hot enough.
B．High food temperatures above 74ºC destroy most poisoning bacteria.
C．Compared with goose, ground beef should be cooked to higher temperatures.
D．Insert the tip of a thermometer into the thickest part of the fat to control the temperature.
23、 Constantly regret spending too much time on your phone but just cannot stop? You are not alone. Here are five tips from Prof. Mark Griffiths， psychologist and behavioral addiction expert at Nottingham Trent University to help you live well with your phone.
Step it down gradually
The urge to check your phone can become reflexive and habitual. For some， going a few minutes without checking their phone is difficult. If this sounds like you， try to go 15 minutes without doing it. Once you realize this is possible， increase the length of time you avoid checking to 30 minutes， an hour， and then a few hours， or a day.
Monitor usage
Download an app that will tell you how much time you're spending online. This could make you aware of a problem—the first step to a solution.
Buy an alarm clock
Don’t use your phone as an alarm， or you might be tempted(诱惑) to check texts and emails last thing at night and as soon as you wake up. Instead， ban phones from the bedroom. Designate bedtimes and mealtimes as smartphone-free zones. Consider buying a clock， so you're no longer tempted by emails and texts when you check the time.
Spring clean your contacts
How many online friends do you actually speak to? Reduce alerts and distractions by removing contacts on social networking sites， deleting unused apps， and unsubscribing from groups that offer little benefit. Consider deleting any games that are taking up a lot of your time.
Learn to wait
Be mindful of the benefits of not regularly checking your phone. People who react to messages as they arrive tend to write longer responses than those who wait and deal with them all as a block. Waiting will gain you time to spend on other activities.
【1】According to the passage， which of the following can help ban phones from the bed ?
A.Monitoring usage. B.Using a clock.
C.Cleaning contacts. D.Learning to wait.
【2】It can be learnt from the passage that_________.
A.games take up more time than other apps
B.reacting to messages in time is important
C.people are often tempted to use cell phones
D.people shouldn’t check emails by cell phones
【3】The purpose of the article is to_________.
A.introduce ways to manage phone usages
B.emphasize the harm of using cellphones
C.persuade readers to get rid of cellphones
D.explain multiple functions of cellphones
24、From Now on, Stop Wasting Food
Who hasn’t felt the shame of a refrigerator clean? You paid money for your leftovers, and now you have to throw them away.
Take heart. You’re far from the only person to waste food and money. And unlike more ambitious money fixes, reducing food waste is relatively simple and sure to pay off. In fact, a person could save about $370 annually on average by wasting less food. 【1】 . Most food we throw away ends up in landfills, which release harmful gas. Less waste, less gas.
So make this the year you don’t have to come eye-to-eye with another rotting food. Here’s how to waste less food:
【2】
“Get a reality check on what’s going to waste in your fridge,” says Cassie, program manager at Stop Waste Organization. Evaluate and remove all items that are spoiled. 【3】 , rather than feel bad about it. “Ask yourself, ‘Why am I throwing this food away?’ ” she says.
Did you buy an ingredient you never used? 【4】 . Did you forget about leftovers or produce that’s gone bad? Stop Waste Organization recommends designating part of the fridge to food that’s quick to spoil. Label that section with an “Eat This First” sign.
Store foods to last
【5】 . Google “how to store produce” and you’ll learn that some foods should be refrigerated (kiwis, cucumbers), while others shouldn’t (bananas, avocados). And some fruits, like apples, release a gas that ripens other produce faster.
A．Try to learn from the waste
B．Start with a fridge cleanout
C．Purchase less and save more money
D．Reducing food waste also helps the planet
E．More planning before shopping could help
F．You bought the right groceries and now make sure they stay fresh

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was a fantastic and cheery early summer day. The sun was shining brilliantly, with clouds dancing in the blue sky. The birds were singing merrily and the colourful flowers were in full bloom. There was a warm gentle breeze. Bright green leaves swung in the wind, occasionally falling to the ground, cast off from the trees they trusted.
It was a lovely morning to be outdoors, to enjoy oneself in the splendid beauty of nature. There’s nothing quite as curative as being out in nature. Little Bear hated being locked at home. He wanted to go out to relieve his boredom. While his mother was busy with the daily domestic tasks, Little Bear slipped out through the backdoor. He was so eager for independence that he ignored his parents’ words and raced off into the woods near his home on his own.
As he jogged along the winding path from his home, Little Bear felt like an adventurer. Soon, the stone path ended and he found himself in the forest. He had never been so far from home all by himself. As Little Bear explored the plants of different colors in the abundant green forest, the fear of being alone in the great outdoors began to wear off. He immediately began to regret his careless decision to escape from his parents.
By afternoon, the sun was burning hot. Little Bear was weak from hunger and thirst. He felt tired and hungry. He longed for his mother’s cooking. He longed for his nice cosy bed. He longed to go home. Little Bear scanned the surroundings. Everything looked unfamiliar to him. He was lost! There was not a soul in sight from whom he could ask for directions. Little Bear sat on a rock, alone and depressed. Looking down, all he could see were his little paw prints imprinted in the mud.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
An idea suddenly came into Little Bear’s mind.
