21、How much food do you buy each week? Are you someone who stuffs your fridge and cupboards full of foods so that you’ll always have something to eat? Or maybe, you’ re more efficient with your shopping, only buying what you need and using up your leftovers so that you keep food waste to a minimum.
Throwing away unwanted food has become a big issue in the developed world. While some of us throw away unwanted items, people in other parts of world face food shortages and are starving. It’s a shocking fact that a third of the world’s food is wasted each year. The actual figure is 1.3 billion tons of food, which is enough to feed a billion hungry people.
You may think supermarkets are the main contributors to this mountain of food. After all, they do get rid of stuff that’s past its sell-by-date and they often refuse to sell vegetables and fruit that are the wrong shape or look damaged. They’ve also been criticized for encouraging customers to buy more than they need through promotions such as “buy one and get one free”.
But we ourselves are mainly responsible for creating food waste. In Europe an incredible 53% of food waste comes from households, which results in 88 million tonnes of food waste a year. The food waste is buried and left to rot. Unfortunately, this causes greenhouse gases which eventually lead to global warming and climate change.
In Denmark, a woman called Selina Juul has been working hard to solve this problem. She convinced some supermarkets to stop selling their items in bulk (批量) so that people bought only what they needed. She produced a leftovers cookbook and she's set up an education programme in schools. This has helped create a significant 25% reduction in food waste, which shows that something can be done.
Clearly, we need to think twice when we put something in our shopping trolley, and when we’re at home, we should make the most of the food we have—using recipes that use up our leftovers or even sharing our food with our friends and neighbors.
【1】What does the author intend to show in paragraph 2?
A．The world hunger.

B．They focus more on food's looks than qualities.

【3】What did Selina Juul do to help reduce the food waste?
A．She established an education programme in neighborhoods.
B．She persuaded supermarkets to change their ways of sale.
C．She convinced supermarkets to sell her leftovers cookbook.
D．She encouraged people to share food in communities.
【4】What’s the main purpose of the text?
A．To advocate healthy eating habits.

22、 Here are four homes for sale around the U. S. with links to past presidents, as well as their close families.
John F. Kennedy’s Weekend Retreat
A modest farm near Middle burg, Virginia, was built by John F. Kennedy and his wife in the early 1960s. The former first lady designed it herself. The four-bedroom property is currently back on the market for $5.95 million, decreased by $10.99 million when it was first put up for sale in 2013.
Jackie Kennedy’s Summer House
Another Kennedy-linked property for sale is the “Lasata” estate in the Hamptons, designed by architect Arthur C. Jackson and built in 1917. Set on more than seven acres of land near the ocean, it includes a ten-bedroom house that was restored in 2007, including a three-car garage building. It’s on the market for $38.995 million, a little bit higher than last year.
Chester A. Arthur’s Summer White House
Chester A. Arthur, who became the 21st president in 1881, spent some of his down time here. The three-story, six-bedroom Victorian mansion, which was built in 1796 and has been recently restored, is for sale with a $14.2 million price tag. Features include a library with fireplace, a formal dining and living room and a family room overlooking the garden and the swimming pool.
Barack Obama’s Summer Rental
This Martha’s Vineyard home which was built in the late twentieth century served as the summer White House to former President Obama. It is currently for sale for $19.125 million, down from $22.5 million in July 2015. Set on nine-and-a-half acres of land and with its own private road, this property no doubt acts as a perfect summer hideaway for those who didn’t want his every movement seen.

23、Learn to Cite Sources (引用资料)
During your university education, you’ll be exposed to ideas and scientific theories of scholars and scientists. Unavoidably, your own ideas will be shaped by the ideas you come across. The academic challenge you face is to make something original. 【1】 Your original work is the basis for your professor’s evaluation of your performance. Thus, academic honesty is fundamental in your university education. It demands that you cite the source materials you base your own work on. 【2】
Correctly citing your sources helps you distinguish your own ideas from those of other scholars. On the readers’ side, it permits a reader to determine the depth of your research. It also allows a reader to appreciate your original contribution to the research. 【3】
So you need to learn when to cite and how to provide an adequate or accurate reference list. If you fail to cite your sources, whether deliberately or carelessly, you will be found responsible for plagiarism (抄袭). 【4】 If you are not sure, ask your professor for guidance before submitting the paper or report. Keep in mind this general rule: when in doubt, cite!
【5】 For example, students from East Asia may think that copying directly from sources is the proper way to do research. Students in France, preparing for the final examination, may be encouraged to memorize whole passages and copy them into papers. Those cultural differences can lead to false assumptions about academic requirements in the country you study in.
A．International students may cheat in different ways.
B．These include other scholars’ ideas, figures, graphs and so on.
C．On the contrary, lack of citing will only raise your readers’ doubt.
D．Often, students want to use others’ opinions to support their own essays.
E．For international students, it is important to know local academic expectations.
F．Not knowing academic regulations is an unacceptable excuse for such behavior.
G．That means you should go beyond what you learn from your textbooks or in the library.
24、Digital economy and digital trade are breaking down physical barriers and becoming an important force driving global economic and trade recovery, said top officials from China and around the world on Sunday.
“Empowered by digital technologies, the booming growth of digital trade is rapidly turning into a new engine for global trade,” said Ding Zhongli, vice-chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, in a video speech at the opening ceremony of the first Global Digital Trade Expo in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province. “It is reshaping global economic and trade patterns,” Ding said.
The development of digital trade and digital economy will be key to China’s modernization drive, said Yi Lianhong, Party secretary of Zhejiang province.
“In our rapidly changing world, online commercial transactions have become an absolutely necessary part of our lives and nowhere is this fact more apparent than in China,” said Leo Varadkar, the Irish minister for enterprise, trade and employment.
“Preparing for tomorrow’s economy and society means seizing the opportunities presented by digital technologies,” Varadkar said. “Digital technologies will be particularly important for our decarbonization transition and supporting the achievement of our climate targets, as well as for businesses, as they move to working remotely or trading online for the first time.”
While the countless advances brought by digital technology to the world were applauded, challenges faced by the international community in the process, including the digital gap between rich and poor countries as well as a lack of international rules on digital trade, were highlighted.
Addressing these issues and bringing benefits “require joint efforts of all members including national governments, the private sector, international organizations and development agencies”, said Zhang Xiangchen, deputy director-general of the WTO. “China can make significant contributions in this regard,” Zhang said.
