21、 There are around 600,000 vegans (素食者) in the UK. That' s just over 1% of the population — an amount expected to increase to 25% by 2025. And if there's one type of food that Brits love, it is fast food. People in the UK love it so much that there was a 34% increase in the number of fast food outlets from 2010 to 2018. It's no surprise, then, that vegan fast food is also on the rise.
Vegan fast food has become big business. At Just Eat, an online food delivery company, vegan orders more than doubled in 2018. Greggs, a chain of high-street bakeries, named its vegan sausage roll the 'fastest - selling product in six years". And big franchises such as McDonald's and KFC have announced meat-free chicken nuggets (鸡块) to come in the future.
What's. driving this popularity? Katrina Fox, founder of Vegan Business Media, believes it's the result of the breaking down of stereotypes (成见). 'Vegan food is no longer seen as a bit of lettuce and lentils — you can eat pretty much anything".
It's also claimed that there are health benefits. John Marulanda, owner of Mooshies is a vegan burger bar in London — wants to implement “a change to a healthy version of fast food. Something, he claims, that comes as a result of the inherent nutritional value of the ingredients they use.
But, is vegan fast food actually healthy? Azmina Govindji of the British Dietetic Association says 'not to assume" that is the case, 'It' s fine if those products have got vitamin B12, iodine or calcium added to them. but they can still be fried, it can still have lots of creamy, fatty sauces and lots of salt.
Given the current growth in orders, the trend for vegan fast food isn't likely to disappear any time soon, Health — wise, it may not be any more nourishing than regular fast food, but for many， the lack of animal suffering involved in the process is a big plus.

22、 A single ticket bought in Massachusetts won $758.7 million in Wednesday’s Powerball draw.
The lucky ticket holder correctly matched the numbers 6,7,16,23 and 26 with the Powerball 4 to win the second biggest lottery prize in US history, and the largest won by a single ticket. Whoever won must have been having a lucky day as the odds of matching all six numbers are one in 292.2 million.
The winner has to pay around 40% taxes on the nearly jackpot, but will still likely walk away with around $300 million, which they will be more than happy with. That’s if they choose the “annuity option(保障养老金选项)” which sees their wins being split up into 30 payments over 29 years. If they go for one lump sum (one time payment), they’re looking at a win of $480.5 million.
The jackpot came nearly two months after the last Powerball win in June 14, when it stood at $40 million. Powerball officials told ABC an estimated 170 million would be sold between Saturday and Wednesday night’s draw. The biggest ever Powerball jackpot win was in January 2016 when three winning tickets split $1.6 billion.
The Massachusetts State Lottery managed to add even more drama after giving the wrong store and location of where the winning ticket was bought, leading to even more mysteries about who has that golden ticket.
After initially claiming the ticket was sold at a shop in Watertown, just outside Boston, they later correctly confirmed that it had in fact been bought at a Pride Station & Store in Chicopee, North of Springfield. A spokesperson for Pride Station said they had been told at around 8 am, with Michael Sweeney, the lottery’s executive director confirming they will receive around $50,000 for selling the winning ticket.
As for the actual winner, their identity remains a mystery and according to the Star Tribune, by midmorning they still hadn’t come forward to claim the prize.
If you bought a ticket in Massachusetts, it might be time to check your ticket.
【1】The underlined word “odds” in Paragraph 2 may be closest to ______ in meaning.
A.chances B.differences C.ratios D.scales
【2】If the winner chooses the “annuity option”, how much will he pay for taxes?
A.$300 million. B.$480.5 million. C.$458.7 million. D.$780.5 million.
【3】Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A.The winner claimed the prize at a Pride Station &Store in Chicopee on Wednesday.
B.The State Lottery declared the wrong spot deliberately where the winning ticket was bought.
C.The winner bought the winning ticket with $50,000 two months ago in Watertown.
D.The lottery prize of the winning ticket is second only to that in 2016 in US history.
23、Late-night eating has long been connected to a higher risk for obesity or overweight, which can pose all kinds of risks to your heart.
【1】 A recent study found that when meals are delayed by four hours — say eating at 10:30 PM rather than 6:30 PM and keeping all other lifestyle factors the same, people burn fewer calories, have stronger appetite, and experience changes in fat tissue that promote weight gain, according to the study’s author.
The study was rather small, featuring only 16 overweight or obese people. 【2】 In the weeks before, they maintained a regular sleep schedule and stuck to identical diets and meal times at home. Each participant reported on their hunger and appetite, and provided data needed. Besides feeling hungrier, burning fewer calories, and showing changes in fat tissue, late eating also impacted the hunger-regulating hermones (荷尔蒙) ghrelin and leptin. Ghrelin is the hormone that tells you when to eat, while leptin tells you when you’ve had enough. 【3】
The solution may be relatively simple. Keeping your eating schedule in line with your body’s natural clock makes sense. 【4】 It can minimize weight gain and reduce the risk for high blood pressure and other heart disease risk factors. Besides, try eating a big breakfast, slightly smaller lunch, and small dinner with healthy snacks throughout the day. 【5】 So pay attention to portion (食物的一份) sizes and what you’re eating.
A．Of course, not everyone’s natural body clock is the same.
B．Researchers may have learned why meal timing could impact fat gain.
C．A survey has revealed that a growing number of people are overweight.
D．They each stuck to a strict early or late meal schedule for one day in a lab.
E．Remember, what you eat and how much is likely more important than when.
F．Eating more early in the day and less as it progresses may be the best strategy.
G．The study found that leptin dropped by 16 percent when people delayed their meals.
24、Thirty-two people watched Kitty Genovese being killed right beneath their windows. She was their neighbor. Yet none of the 32 helped her. Not one even called the police. Was this in gunman cruelty? Was it lack of feeling about one’s fellow man?
Not so, say scientists John Barley and Bib Fatane. These men went beyond the headlines to seek the reasons why people didn’t act. They found that a person has to go through two steps before he can help. First he has to notice that is an emergency.
Suppose you see a middle-aged man fall to the side-walk. Is he having a heart attack? Is he in a coma from diabetes(糖尿病)? Or is he about to sleep off a drunk?
Is the smoke coming into the room from a leak in the air conditioning? Is it steam pipes? Or is it really smoke from a fire? It’s not always easy to tell if you are faced with a real emergency.
Second, and more important, the person faced with an emergency must feel personally responsible. He must feel that he must help, or the person won’t get the help he needs.
The researchers found that a lot depends on how many people are around. They had college students in to be tested. Some came alone. Some came with one or two others. And some came in large groups. The receptionist started them off on the tests. Then she went into the next room. A curtain divided the testing room and the room into which she went. Soon the students heard a scream, the noise of file cabinets falling and a cry for help. All of this had been pre-recorded on a tape-recorder.
Eight out of ten of the students taking the test alone acted to help. Of the students in pairs, only two out of ten helped. Of the students in groups, none helped.
In other words, in a group, Americans often fail to act. They feel that others will act. They, themselves, needn’t. They do not feel any direct responsibility.
Are people bothered by situations where people are in trouble? Yes. Scientists found that the people were emotional, they sweated, they had trembling hands. They felt the other person’s trouble. But they did not act. They were in a group. Their actions were shaped by the actions of those they were with.
【1】 The purpose of this passage is ____________.
A. to explain why people fail to act in emergencies
B. to explain when people will act in emergencies
C. to explain what people will do in emergencies
D. to explain how people feel in emergencies
【2】The researchers have conducted an experiment to prove that people will act in emergencies when ____________.
A. they are in pairs B. they are in groups
C. they are alone D. they are with their friends
【3】 The main reason why people fail to act when they stay together is that ____________.
A. they are afraid of emergencies
B. they are unwilling to get themselves involved
C. others will act if they themselves hesitate
D. they do not have any direct responsibility for those who need help
【4】The author suggests that ____________.
A. we shouldn’t blame a person if he fails to act in emergencies
B. a person must feel guilty if he fails to help
C. people should be responsible for themselves in emergencies
D. when you are in trouble, people will help you anyway
