26、 I earned about the zero waste movement in 2010 after reading a book about it in the library. It was eye-opening and encouraged me to remove as much single-use package as possible.
But as I followed the advice,I met many challenges. It turns out that small town Ontario isn't nearly as progressive as San Francisco when it comes to allowing reusable containers in grocery stores.
That’s when I wished I still live in downtown Toronto which would give me access to many health food store that allowed reusable containers. It took a while, but finally I realized that my location give me one key advantage over city’s people. I now live at the center of food production, which means I can go directly to producers to get ingredients that are not only package-free but the freshest and most delicious.
“Zero waste should be thought as more of an ideal than an hard-and-fast rule. It’s so geographically independent on what is in your area, so I think it is about doing your best to make use of the resources you have.” said Celia Ristow, founder of a website. It is refreshing to see that fact accepted by others. It’s true that the best-known zero waste supporters are city’s people, who have access to many stores and restaurants that are willing to work with them.
However, wherever you are, it is impossible to find a places that meets all the ideals criteria. But that doesn’t mean we should stop trying. The food scene in my small town has changed greatly in the past six years and far more reusable choices have been available than before. We have a food co-op that allows for online ordering and home delivering, many locations for dropping off milk bottles, a growing summer farmer’s market and large pick-your own fruit farm.
I tell people and remind myself to remove what you can. Maybe the farmer’s market share are only seasonal, and you have to be perfect, in fact, as the saying goes, “Perfection is the enemy of progress.”
【1】What advantage does the author have over city's people?
A.An access to delicious food B.A chance to avoid wasting food
C.A direct access to farmer D.A chance to refusing food containers
【2】What does Celia Ristow say about zero waste?
A.It should be viewed as a rule. B.It requires you to start small.
C.It is more widely supported. D.It has geographic limitation.
【3】Which of the following is suggested in the text?
A.Making good use of what you have. B.Finding some more zero waste methods.
C.Trying to improve your surroundings. D.Buying supermarket produce once a week.
【4】What might be a suitable title for the text?
A.Zero Waste makes no place perfect B.Zero Waste depends on where you live
C.Zero Waste is a hard-and-fast rule D.Zero Waste calls on you to start small
27、 “My energy is increasing!” ——Adrienne Farr
Adrienne’s busy career made it hard for her to follow a healthy diet. But when her weight topped 200 and her knees and back were aching, she knew it was time for a change. In 21 days, THE DIGEST DIET helped Adrienne lose:

Today Wayne tells us he is feeling good from eating all the nutritious foods. He says he’s sleeping better and has more energy, which is going to come in handy when their baby is born. He’s glad that he can enjoy so many of the foods he loves, while still seeing a noticeable difference in the mirror.

28、 Over the last two decades (十年), the Earth has seen an increase in vegetation (植被) and China and India are leading the increase in greening on land. The result comes mostly from tree planting programs in China and intensive agriculture(集约农业) in both countries.
Researchers from Boston University found that global green area has increased by 5% since the early 2000s, an area equal to the size of Amazon rainforest. Among the increased area, China and India contribute to about 33%, especially China, with 25% itself. China’s great contribution came mostly from its programs to protect and expand forests, which is about 42%. These programs were developed in an effort to reduce the effect of desertification, air pollution and climate change.
Another 32% of the greening change in China, and 82% in India, resulted from intensive agriculture of food crops. The land area used to grow crops in China and India has not changed much since the early 2000s. Yet both countries have greatly increased the total green area and food production in order to feed large populations. The lead author Chi Chen of Boston University said,
“That is a surprising finding, since it is generally believed that land degradation(退化) in populous countries is usually more serious.”
Rama Nemani, a research scientist at NASA’s Ames Research Center, saw a positive message in the new findings. “Once people realize there is a problem, they tend to fix it,” However, the researchers rang bells as well. They pointed out that the gain did not necessarily fill up the loss of natural vegetation in tropical regions like Brazil and Indonesia.
【1】What’s the first paragraph mainly about?
A.The earth is becoming a green land.
B.China and India are forest countries.
C.China and India matter in greening the Earth.
D.China and India develop intensive agriculture well.
【2】Why is Amazon rainforest mentioned in Paragraph 2?
A.To show its importance to the planet.
B.To call on people to protect rainforests.
C.To clearly show the increased green area.
D.To be evidence of the lost natural vegetation.
【3】What benefits can China’s tree planting programs bring?
① Reducing air pollution.
② Increasing rich land for crops.
③ Helping with climate control.
④ Controlling the desertification.
A.①②③ B.①③④
C.①②④ D.②③④
【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.Brazil and Indonesia do not protect their forests.
B.The findings discouraged belief of a green world.
C.Humans are creative enough to solve all problems.
D.More efforts are needed to protect natural vegetation.
【5】Where does the text probably come from?
A.A newspaper. B.A travel brochure.
C.An interview. D.A geography textbook.
29、 The famous director of a big and expensive movie planned to film a beautiful sunset over the ocean so that the audiences could see his hero and heroine(女主角) in front of it at the end of the film as they said goodbye to each other forever. He sent his camera crew out one evening to film the sunset for him.
The next morning he said to the men, “Have you provided me with that sunset?” “No, sir,” the men answered.
The director was angry.
“Why not?” he asked.
“Well, sir,” one of the men answered, “we're on the east coast here, and the sun sets in the west. We can get you a sunrise over the sea, if necessary, but not a sunset.”
“But I want a sunset!” the director shouted. “Go to the airport, take the next flight to the west coast, and get one.”
But then a young secretary had an idea. “Why don't you photograph a sunrise,” she suggested, “and then play it backwards? Then it'll look like a sunset.”
“That's a very good idea!” the director said. Then he turned to the camera crew and said, “Tomorrow morning I want you to get me a beautiful sunrise over the sea.”
The camera crew went out early the next morning and filmed a bright sunrise over the beach in the middle of a beautiful bay. Then at nine o'clock they took it to the director. “Here it is, sir,” they said, and gave it to him. He was very pleased.
They all went into the studio. “All right,” the director explained, “now our hero and heroine are going to say goodbye. Run the film backwards so that we can see the 'sunset' behind them.”
