26、 Apples are packed with amazing health benefits: weight loss, heart protection, lowering your risk of illnesses, and many more. Not only are they good for you, but they taste delicious too! The only problem is that the pieces we pack for lunch are always an unpleasant brown by the time we dig them out of the fridge. That’s because polyphenol oxidase (PPO) in the fruit experiences a chemical change with oxygen (氧气) in the air.
Luckily, there is an apple you can pick up at the store that won’t turn brown for a while―the Opal apple. Opal apples are naturally low in PPO, which means they’ll stay fresh and white long after you cut them. It has been tested that after sitting out unpacked for more than six hours, the apple had hardly any browning.
You may be wondering if genetic modification (转基因) plays a role in avoiding the fruit’s browning. In fact, you may even ask if Opal apples are safe to eat because they can do something most apples can’t. But according to the Opal website, they’re the first apples to be checked by the Non-GMO Project, the gold standard for certification (证明). “We understand that some people are concerned about genetically modified organism (GMO) products and felt it was important to make it clear that the natural nonbrowning characteristic is just that―natural,” said Keith Mathews, CEO of First Fruits Marketing.
The Opal apple is actually a cross between a Golden Delicious and a Topaz apple, and it has a sweet flavor. Plus, it still has all the health benefits every other apple has. Although FirstFruits Marketing does not show nutrition (营养) facts for the Opal apples, their nutrition value should be similar, if not the same, to every other apple. If you don’t like eating brown apples, you can consider going to the supermarket for some Opal apples.
【1】How is the Opal apple different from other apples?
A.It has less PPO.
B.It helps lose weight.
C.It has the attractive smell.
D.It has few spots on its skin.
【2】Why is the Non-GMO Project mentioned?
A.To show the popularity of Opal apples.
B.To show Opal apples meet the safety standard.
C.To show Opal apples have a special characteristic.
D.To show the concern for GMO foods.
【3】What is the author’s attitude to the Opal apple?
A.Doubtful. B.Uncaring. C.Positive. D.Careful.
【4】What is the best title of the text?
A.Opal Apples―with More Nutrition?
B.Opal Apples―on the Way to Be Popular?
C.Opal Apples―A New GMO Food?
D.Opal Apples Never Brown―But Are They Safe to Eat?

28、 China’s economic growth has long impressed the world with its high speed. Now the country’s accelerating green transformation (转型) is expected to offer inspiring lessons in balancing the economy and the natural environment.
Ant Forest, a program on the platform of Alipay, last week won the 2019 UN Champions of the Earth award for turning the green good deeds of half a billion people into real trees planted in some of China’s most dry regions. It was not the first time that China won the UN’s highest environmental honor due to a positive influence on the environment. Last year, a green rural program in Zhejiang Province won this award for its work to repair polluted waterways and damaged lands. In 2017, Saihanba Forest Farm, a program in northern China, was awarded the same honor. The awards came due to China’s solid progress in ensuring the harmony between man and nature.
However, China’s past economic growth has not come without negative consequences for the environment and climate. In the late 1970s, with the rapid development of China’s economy, environmental problems also increased.
To strike a balance between economic boom and environmental burden, China put environmental protection as a basic national policy and the sustainable development strategy was put into practice in the 1990s. Now the country holds a belief: “Lucid (透明的) waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets.”
Increased environmental awareness and investments have produced results. Air quality in China continued to improve with more cities reporting a drop in major pollutant indicators. Surface water quality kept improving in general. In terms of soil pollution control, the country reduced solid waste imports by 46.5 percent last year.
Strong environmental protection has motivated related fields. The country becomes the first in the world to set up a national green finance system. It also helps push green finance to be included on the G20 agenda. In 2020, the total revenue of China’s environmental protection industry is expected to surpass 2 trillion.
Recognizing that protecting the environment is the best way to realize economic growth, China will continue to stick to giving preference to green development.
【1】What’s the author’s purpose in writing Paragraph 2?
A.To make a detailed list of the economic progress in China.
B.To sing high praise for the efforts the Chinese government made.
C.To show increasing importance of environment over economy.
D.To prove China’s achievements in balancing the economy and the environment.
【2】Which of the following is NOT true?
A.China’s past economic progress has been smooth and healthy.
B.China has won many UN’s highest environmental honors.
C.China has made the protection of the environment a national policy.
D.Increased environmental awareness and investments have brought positive effects.
【3】Which of the following does NOT support the idea of the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4?
A.More cities report a drop in major air pollutant indicators.
B.Preference ought to be given to developing the economy.
C.China’s environmental protection industry is expected to make profits.
D.China reduced solid waste imports sharply last year.
