21、 Have you ever sat down in a restaurant and felt instantly drawn to a particular dish on the menu? The reason might be something as simple as that you love the dish's main ingredient, but it's often more than that.
Scientists are finding that the way food is presented can make a big difference. In one study, for example, party guests were given a glass of a drink called mango lassi. Half the guests were told the lassi was healthy. The rest were told it was unhealthy. Those who had the “healthy” drink considered it 55% less enjoyable than those who drank the “unhealthy” one, though the drinks were exactly the same.
People's choices around what to eat are influenced by lots of small factors unconsciously. But we can make those choices more conscious by arming ourselves with information.
Agriculture accounts for about 25% of all greenhouse gas emissions (排放) warming the planet. But not all foods have equal influences. Globally, the production of animal-based foods accounts for about two-thirds of agricultural emissions, while plant-based foods generally have lower environmental influences.
Increasing the share of plant-based foods in our diets is therefore a key step in reducing agriculture's pressure on climate. That doesn't mean giving up meat, though. We can eat less animal-based food and more plants.
By examining how food decisions are made, scientists have learned that simple pushes can change people's behavior in big ways. Restaurants, hotels, universities, and even cities have begun applying the latest behavioral science to help consumers cut their carbon footprint by choosing more sustainable (可持续的) foods. Burger King began a trial of the plant-based Impossible Burger. At Seattle Pacific University, campus food service provider Sodexo doubled the size of its plant-rich food station.
【1】Accordign to scientists, people tend to choose some food or drink mainly because _______.
A.it’s good for their health B.it’s good for the environment
C.they are attracted by its color D.they like its ingredient and how it’s presented
【2】What can we infer about animal-based foods?
A.They are harmful to the environment.
B.They are the main reason for climate change.
C.They provide more nutrients than plant-based foods.
D.They are less consumed compared to plant-based foods.
【3】What does the author suggest people do?
A.Pay attention to how food is cooked.
B.Choose healthy foods to live a longer life.
C.Consider climate change when deciding what to eat.
D.Give up meat to reduce pressure on the environment.
【4】What does the last paragraph focus on?
A.Burger King's new plant-based burgers.
B.Scientists' new findings on people's food decisions.
C.How consumers' food decisions are influenced by small factors.
D.The society's efforts to help people make eco-friendly food decisions.
22、How to Reduce Paper Waste
● Write on both sides of the paper.
It may seem as if simply writing on both sides of a piece of paper is not helpful, but in fact, it can help a lot.【1】 If you don’t want to write on both sides of the paper right away, that’s alright. Consider keeping a box of the paper that you’ve only used one side of, so you can easily have the paper for when you need it.
● Use old newspaper to wrap gifts.
【2】 You could either find colourful ad pages to use or you could also use the funny pages. You can also use the newspaper to make a fun gift topper if you’d like. If you don’t find any good pictures, simple notebook pages that you decorate can also make gifts look nice.
● Recycle old paper.
If there is a recycling centre near you, you might want to give away all of your old papers and notebooks for recycling. 【3】 If there’s one further away, consider storing some papers and giving them to the recycling centre every month.
● Take notes on your computer or smartphone when possible.
Taking paper notes can use up a lot of paper, which may be harmful to the environment. Instead, use a computer or your smartphone. 【4】 You can also add images to your notes and categorize them if you’d like to use other programmes.
● Send e-mails instead of traditional mail.
Traditional, posted mails require a lot of paper. There are also some other disadvantages to traditional mail. E-mails have a few advantages, including being delivered much quicker than traditional mail, the ability to be sent to one person or a larger group, and being able to send them at any time.【5】
A．Taking care of the Earth is everyone’s job.
B．You could use note app or word processor to do this.
C．Using old newspapers is a great, eco-friendly way to wrap gifts.
D．You could also text or call someone as opposed to sending traditional mail.
E．The back of a piece of paper can be used for things like drafts or other notes.
F．It takes a lot less energy to recycle paper than to make some from raw material.
G．Traditional mail is perhaps one of the most exciting ways to hear from someone.
23、 The potential of a simple gesture to capture the public’s imagination in a time of crisis was illustrated when 99-year-old British army veteran Captain Tom Moore decided to raise some money for workers and patients’ health.
Inspired by the excellent treatment he had received in hospital for skin cancer, he promised to complete 100 laps of his garden, using his walking frame for support, before his 100th birthday later that month. His aim was to raise a modest £1, 000. But news of Captain Tom’s efforts soon reached the ears of a nation through newspapers and TV features. He even teamed up with the singer Michael Ball to record a charity version of “You’ll Never Walk Alone”. Several weeks later, Captain Tom completed his 100 laps ahead of schedule, having raised more than £17 million. “I never dreamt I would be involved in an occasion like this,” he announced. But the Captain Tom’s passion showed no sign of dying down. By the time he reached his 100th birthday on 30th April, he had raised nearly £33 million. He was honoured with a fly-past by Britain’s air force, and the public sent more than 1, 50, 000 birthday cards. His response? “To all those people who are finding it difficult at the moment… the sun will shine on you again, and the clouds will go away.” he said.
In honour of his achievement, Captain Tom was promoted to the rank of Honorary Colonel, and awarded a knighthood(骑士) on the recommendation of the Prime Minister. The money he raised was used to provide comfort and care for National Health Service workers. “I’ve never been someone who does nothing,” he laughs, adding that he enjoyed the challenge. He believes the secret for his success—and his long life—is simple: “It’s all about having the right mindset. You’ve got to be optimistic and to think that things will get better.”
【1】What can we learn about Tom Moore’s intention?
A．He originally only had a small goal.
B．He never planned to cooperate with others.
C．He was inspired by a miserable experience .
D．He intended to take advantage of his birthday party.
【2】How did Tom Moore deal with the collected money?
A．It was used to help senior citizens.
B．It was decided by National Health Service.
C．It was rewarded to those making contributions.
D．It was used to help National Health Service workers.

C．Brighten others at any time.
D．More kindness Jess coldness.
24、 Eliud Kipchoge’s extraordinary sub-two-hour marathon in Vienna on Saturday is one of the greatest sporting achievements—recording a time that has never been achieved before, again. It is a time on the fringes (边缘) of what scientists believe is humanly possible.
“It is a great feeling to make history in sport after Sir Roger Bannister in 1954. I am the happiest man in the world to be the first human to run under two hours and I can tell people that no human is limited,” Kipchoge said afterwards.
Is he right? Where are the limits of human ability? And how close are we to reaching them?
Raph Brandon, head of science for England cricket, distinguishes between achievements which are constrained (限制) by human anatomy (解剖学), and those which require human determination or skill.
“When Bolt ran 9.58 in Berlin 10 years ago, if you analyse the split times it’s very hard to imagine where the improvement comes from,” said Brandon, “The Usain Bolt 100m or the two-hour marathon, they’re in that category.”
Multi-day, ultra-endurance events, such as Thomas’s cross-Channel swim, are different, Brandon said.
“They need determination, psychology and bloody-mindedness to go that little bit further. Those people will continue to do unique things because you’re not really taking the body to its anatomical limit. It’s more a question of how much you’re prepared to consume and exhaust yourself.”
And there’s a third category, those sporting endeavours (努力) that rely on hand-eye coordination: the goal tallies of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, and the batting of Virat Kohli Steve Smith or Don Bradman, who trained by hitting a golf ball with a stump against a wall to become the best batsman ever to play Test cricket.
Equipment has been a factor for many sports. NFL receivers wear gloves that enable them to make improbable one-handed catches. The GB cycling team swept the board at the Olympics because of their amazing new clothing tech.
The line between what is fair and unfair is blurry. Kipchoge’s sub-two-hour run will not be officially recognized. He ran behind a car which beamed a green laser on to the ground in front of him. Teams of pacemakers, 41 in total, ran in a v-formation to protect him from headwinds (逆风). He wore specially designed shoes and the time and date of the event were picked only after detailed weather forecasting.
Jo Davies, a sport psychologist, says recent studies have shown athletes can push themselves harder because of their perception of exhaustion.
Other research published this year which looked at athletes who had won multiple gold medals found that they were different in several important ways. They had often had a shocking and upsetting life experience and had suffered significant setbacks in their performance during their careers, as well as personality traits of determination, perseverance and perfectionism.
So whether or not those limits have been reached, there will be no shortage of people prepared to try to go beyond them.
【1】Why is Eliud Kipchoge’s sub-two-hour marathon considered extraordinary?
A.It was made in Vienna on a weekend.
B.It pushed the limits of human ability.
C.It proved that there was no boundary of his achievements.
D.It was greater than the record kept by Sir Roger Bannister.
【2】The Usain Bolt 100m and the two-hour marathon belong to the same category in that ________.
A.they need great determination or skills B.they can be achieved via equipment
C.they rely on hand-eye coordination D.they are reaching anatomical limit
【3】Kipchoge’s sub-two-hour marathon will not be officially recognized because ________.
A.he was followed by pacemakers B.he was caught in headwinds
C.he got much special help D.he didn’t run on the picked day
【4】It can be inferred from the last three paragraphs that ________.
A.Jo Davies believes that athletes make progress in the same way
B.anatomical limit prevents athletes from having sad life experience
C.an athlete who has suffered setbacks will win gold medals
D.whether an athlete can succeed or not may depend on himself
