21、Globally, around 14 percent of food produced is lost between harvest and retail (零售). Farmers throw away a significant share of their crop due to factors beyond their control, such as produce not meeting supermarket standards for shape or size, unexpected weather patterns changing harvest times and yield as well as a shortage of pickers. These factors and others leave farmers with extra crops on their hands.
Gleaning — collecting leftover crops from farmers’ fields after they haven’t been harvested or commercial use — may contribute to tackling the problem. In Britain, a growing network of volunteer gleaning groups are being welcomed into farmers’ fields to collect tonnes of free produce. The produce would then be given to local food banks, which would otherwise be left to rot after the commercial harvest.
The charity Feedback told The Times that its number of gleaning groups across England had risen from five in 2017 to twenty last year. Feedback’s overall aim is for closer links between farmers and the communities they feed.
Holly Whitelaw, 52, from St Just in Penwith, set up the Cornwall Gleaning Network last year after watching a BBC series that highlighted food poverty in Cornwall. She contacted Feedback which gave her a £2, 000 grant (拨款) to get insurance, knives, and cut-proof gloves. She set up a Facebook page, found willing volunteers and then managed to get a £10, 000 grant from Feeding Britain, a national network of anti-hunger partnerships, to establish seven coordinators across the county and pay for more knives and gloves. They also raised funds to buy a pick-up truck. As a thank you to the farmers, they have begun planting trees to reduce wind speed across their land, preventing damage to crops and minimizing soil erosion.
Gleaning offers an opportunity for environmental win by reducing food waste on the farm. Also, it has a social benefit, as the collected fresh food can be donated to charity organizations and food banks to support those in need.
【1】According to the passage, which of the following has little impact on crop waste?
A．Produce in poor quality.
B．Lack of labor on the farm.
C．Increasing supermarket orders.
D．Changeable weather conditions.
【2】What might help Whitelaw generate the idea of gleaning?
A．A grand from the charity Feedback.
B．Feedback’s overall aim for closer links.
C．Communities and volunteers’ joint effort.
D．A TV series revealing regional food poverty.
【3】What can we learn about the practice of gleaning from the passage?
A．It proves rewarding.
B．It needs to be more creative.
C．It is physically challenging.
D．It takes ages to see the result.
【4】What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A．To set a new standard for farming.
B．To explain the reasons for overproduction.
C．To gather the information about produce in Britain.
D．To introduce a solution to the problem of food waste.
22、Using the power of the ocean’s tidal streams can provide a reliable means of helping to meet the country’s future energy demand, according to a new research in the UK. However, it will require government funding to accelerate innovation and drive down its cost so that future projects can provide cheap electricity.
And such opportunities are not presently available given the government’s funding schemes. So far, access to government funding has helped install 18 MW of tidal stream capacity. This relatively modest funding support to date has put the tidal stream sector on a steep cost reduction trajectory. However, cost reduction has slowed since access to funding has been removed. Continuing such support is essential to enable it to become cost-competitive with biomass and nuclear.
The study also explored the potential environmental effects of such future developments and found no evidence to suggest that the next phase of tidal stream development will cause significant harmful environmental impact. The study was released just a day before the COP26 conference.
Dr. Danny Coles, the study’s lead author, said: “Our study shows there is considerable evidence that the UK’s tidal stream energy resource can provide 11％of our current annual electricity demand. Achieving this would require around 11.5 GW of tidal stream turbine capacity to be installed, and we currently stand at just 18 MW. It took the UK offshore wind industry approximately 20 years to reach 11.5 GW of installed capacity. If tidal stream power is going to contribute to the net-zero transition, time is of the essence.”
The UK Government has already committed to a Net Zero greenhouse gas emissions target by 2050.However, electricity demand is expected to more than double by 2050 and while wind and solar will be the main contributors to meet this demand, a diverse generation technology mix is needed to keep the lights on. Tidal stream power is technically practicable and an important element of future net zero energy generation.
【1】What is the primary concern in developing tidal stream power?
A．Safety in producing.
B．Offshore wind capacity.
C．Challenges in engineering.
D．Government’s financial support.
【2】What can we learn about the UK’s tidal stream power from Dr. Coles?
A．The UK has set up enough turbines.
B．It plays a major role in reaching zero release.
C．More efforts are needed to realize its full potential.
D．It provides 11％of the UK’s present electricity demand.
【3】What is the author’s attitude towards developing tidal stream power?
A．Conservative.
B．Positive.
C．Objective.
D．Skeptical.
【4】Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A．UK benefits from tidal energy
B．UK fails to meet its electricity demand
C．UK’s tidal energy can aid drive for net-zero
D．UK’s tidal energy dominates sources of electricity
23、Death is natural, but do you have any idea of the process of dying? Modern scientists divide the process of dying into two phases --- clinical or temporary death and biological death．Clinical death occurs when the vital organs, such as the heart or lungs, have ceased to function, but have not suffered permanent damage．The organism can still be revived(复活)．Biological death occurs when changes in the organism lead to the “breaking up” of vital cells and tissues．Death is then unchangeable and final.
Scientists have been seeking a way to prolong the period of clinical death so that the organism can remain alive before biological death occurs．The best method developed so far involves cooling of the organism, combined with narcotic sleep．By slowing down the body’s metabolism(新陈代谢), cooling delays the processes leading to biological death.
To illustrate how this works, scientists performed an experiment on a six-year-old female monkey called KetA． The scientist put Keta to sleep with a narcotic． Then they surrounded her body with ice-bags and began checking her body temperature．When it had dropped to 28 degrees the scientists began draining blood from an artery．The monkey’s blood pressure decreased and an hour later both the heart and breathing stopped: clinical death set in．For twenty minutes Keta remained in this state．Her temperature dropped to 22 degrees．At this point the scientists pumped blood into an artery in the direction of the heart and started artificial breathing．After two minutes Keta’s heart became active once more．After fifteen minutes, spontaneous(自发的)breathing began, and after four hours Keta opened her eyes and lifted her head． After six hours, when the scientists tried to give her a penicillin injection, Keta seized the syringe and ran with it around the room．Her behavior differed little from that of a healthy animal.
【1】For a person who suffers from the clinical death, _________.
A． his most important organs are damaged.
B． he still has the possibility of getting back to life.
C． he cannot avoid final death.
D． he is still very much alive
【2】Scientists try to make the time of clinical death longer in order to __________.
A． slow down the body’s metabolism.
B． bring vital cells and tissues back to active life.
C． cool the organism.
D． delay the coming of biological death.
【3】How did the scientists put Keta into clinical death?
A． By putting her to sleep, lowering her temperature and draining her blood.
B． By surrounding her body with ice-bags and draining her blood.
C． By lowing her blood pressure and stopping her heart from beating.
D． By draining her blood, lowering her blood pressure and stopping her breathing.
【4】All of the following indicate that the monkey has almost restored to her original physical state except the fact that__________.
A． her heart beat again.
B． she regained her normal breath.
C． she rejected a penicillin injection.
D． she acted as lively as a healthy monkey.
24、“Your mother’s breast cancer has returned, and it’s metastasized (扩散),” said my mother’s doctor. I held the phone, tears in my eyes.
Even as a health-care professional, I had never really been able to do anything for my mother. She’d always been the caretaker, especially when I was in my teens battling my own incurable illness. She’d arranged and accompanied me on trips to the Cleveland Clinic. During those long train rides, she’d always reach into her bag and produce a gift-a Seventeen magazine-to lift my spirits.
Shortly after her diagnosis, I stopped by Mother’s house. She’d wanted to live at home to look after herself while she could, so my sister and I took turns to check in on her.
As her health worsened, Mother eventually decided to stay with me in my house on the weekends and let me care for her. After I helped her into the house, she would stretch out on the sola, my dog Spanky sleeping at her feet. I’d make us cups of Red Zinger tea. She’d look at me and say, "My purse, honey. Inside would be one of her surprises, like a bag of treats for Spanky or a new pen for me.
At the end of her life, Mother was no longer conscious. Her wish was to be in my house. The night before, I moved all the furniture to prepare for the delivery of her medical equipment. The next morning, two guys lifted the sofa to move it, making room for the hospital bed. “What do we do with these, ma’am?” one asked. I looked over. He held up two beautifully-wrapped (包裹) gifts. How had they gotten there? I’d moved that sofa the night before and seen nothing! My hands shook as I unwrapped a toy for Spanky and a box of Red Zinger tea.
At that moment, it was as if my mother spoke directly to my heart, “Our little traditions will get you through this, Roberta, even if I can’t take part anymore.”
