21、 As our global population continues to rise, some assessments suggest it could reach nearly 10 billion people by 2050. To feed that many people, we will need to produce quantities of food.
With only 30 seasons of planting and harvest left before the population could hit that 10 billion figure, it’s clear that agriculture has to change, if we are to have any hope of feeding the planet.
Over the past six months I’ve travelled all over Europe speaking to pioneering scientists and engineers, global-thought leaders, and of course, knowledgeable farmers, for the BBC World News and BBC Future series, Follow the Food in order to examine issues around food supply and even find some potential solutions for our future.
One of the most shocking facts I learned is the amount of good and eatable food that gets wasted. According to the United Nations, “A third of all food produced ends up rotting (腐烂) in the dustbins of consumers and markets, or damaging due to poor transportation and harvesting practices.”
Spending time with farmers, producers, and consumers, I quickly saw how our current ways of growing, processing and selling food just aren’t sustainable (可持续的).
The only way we can feed 10 billion people by 2050 is if the farming and food industries become much more sustainable. And that requires changes to the whole model of growing, processing, transporting, storing and selling. It means a lot of businesses and governments need to take action. But so too do we all. Whether that’s going to the market and choosing the most “ugly” vegetables for dinner, encouraging supermarkets to change their labelling to show us the carbon footprint of our food, or using new tech to avoid waste, there’s so much we can do to value our food and its producers.
【1】How does the writer feel about the production of enough food by 2050?
A.Optimistic. B.Impossible.
C.Challenging. D.Confident.
【2】What is the purpose of the writer’s journey in Europe?
A.To experience various careers in Europe.
B.To have a knowledge of farmers.
C.To become the best host in BBC programs.
D.To make further studies of present situation.
【3】What can be inferred from the statement of the United Nations?
A.Plenty of food waste is avoidable.
B.Food production is far from enough.
C.Advanced agriculture is urgently needed.
D.Foods are too fragile to be well stored.
【4】What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A.The procedure for food production is complex.
B.Joint efforts are needed to feed 10 billion people.
C.There are great opportunities for food business.
D.Governments should take full responsibility.
22、According to a 2018 report, people aged between 16 and 24 make up 15 per cent of the population but only 10 per cent of museum-goers. Similarly, people of colour aged over 35 go half as much as you would expect from their population size.
We have reached the point of recognizing a disconnect between art and audiences but haven’t yet determined how to bridge the gap. Two answers to tackling this challenge lie in telling a greater diversity of art histories and communicating these stories in more modern and accessible ways.
If you have ever tried to power through reading a museums complex wall text, you know art discussions can be full of special terms. In 2018, I started a podcast called Art Matters for the charity Art UK with the aim of discussing art from a pop-culture angle with topics that would engage younger and more diverse audiences. It offers an accessible pathway to art history with conversations on topics such as film, psychology and even Beyoncé, with few special terms. The series has been a useful way of connecting art to current events. Art history is about storytelling; art content shines when there is an effort to bring audiences along for the discussion.
More traditional institutions are paying attention. This summer, the Getty Museum in Los Angeles issued a social-media challenge for people to recreate paintings using items they had at home. Users displayed incredible creativity ---- toilet rolls featured frequently ---- and the museum was flooded with submissions. This reaction proves that there is a hidden desire for audiences to engage with art topics if the format is appealing.
Many people are intimidated (威胁) by art and feel that there’s a base level of understanding required to join the conversation. The Getty initiative embraced the visuality of art and served as a reminder that there are many pathways to engaging with it.
Another interesting byproduct of the Getty challenge was the attention given to a diversity of artworks. British opera singer Peter Brathwaite, for example, made scores of stunning recreations highlighting centuries of black portraiture, including a collaboration with London’s National Portrait Gallery. His efforts counter the perception that there are not many historical portraits of black figures. It is imperative (势在必行的) that we do a better job of showcasing the many complex and diverse stories that are represented in art. In doing so, we preserve more histories and welcome wider diversity of people.
Social media have offered a platform for people who have not traditionally had a seat at the table. Anyone can recognize a gap in the field and address it. Accounts have amassed tens of thousands of followers by dedicating their feeds to female artists, artists of of colour and more. Their followings are proof positive that there is a hunger to hear these art histories, and these themes work brilliantly for museum programming.
But there is only so much that can be done without Britain’s museums and galleries changing meaningfully from within. We need to see a better balance of these stories represented in permanent collections. We also need a much wider diversity of people and interests represented on boards and executive teams.
Ensuring that art ---- and writing and talking about art ---- resonates throughout the population depends on the rising generation of storytellers, inside institutions and out, getting the funding and support they need to paint a brighter picture for the sector.
【1】Which of the following is NOT an example of the answers to tackling the challenge?
A．Engaging audiences in discussions in the podcast Art Matters
B．Holding pop-culture discussions with the charity Art UK
C．Encouraging people to recreate paintings with household items
D．Portraying historical black figures through art recreations
【2】The podcast Art Matters bears the following features EXCEPT ________.
A．connecting art history to popular topics
B．having only a few special terms
C．being accessible to the poor and needy
D．engaging more diverse audiences
【3】We can conclude from the passage that common audiences ________.
A．lack the ability to understand and talk about art history
B．prefer to view artworks and hear art stories on social media
C．long to engage with art topics and diverse art history stories
D．hope more people of colour are represented on museum boards
【4】Which of the following best serves as the title for this passage?
A．Art for Change
B．Don’t Fear Art
C．Art on Social Media
D．Art for All
23、How do you celebrate New Year’s Day? If I had to take a guess, you probably celebrate New Year’s Day surrounded by family and friends, enjoying drinks of your choice (probably wine and champagne) and watching the ball drop. If you’re particularly lucky, perhaps you share a kiss with that special someone when the clock hits 00:00am. Have you ever imagined how New Year’s Day would look in another country? Listed below are five of the top ten “Unique New Year Traditions from Around the World.”
1. Breaking Dishes on Neighbor’s Door——Denmark
A strange and weird Danish New Year tradition, depending on how you look at it, is throwing dishes at neighbor’s door. Strangely, this makes them happy instead of annoying them. The family with the tallest tower of broken plates, glasses, cups and other crockery is considered to be the luckiest person because it symbolizes their large amount of loyal friends.
2. Talking to Spirits——Mexico
Talking to spirits is a part of Mexican belief. Mexicans strongly believe that they can communicate with the souls of their dead loved ones. New Year’s Eve is considered the best time to communicate with dead spirits to convey a message or ask for guidance. And this is not done at home on an individual basis but is a legal Mexican practice. Taos Inn, in New Mexico for example, offers 15 minutes session of spiritualism and meditation(默念) for $15. Not a bad price for some helpful guidance!
3. Wearing Polka Dots ——Philippines
Imagine streets full of people wearing polka dots and dining room tables full of round shaped food and fruits on one single day of the year. This all actually happens in the Philippines on New Year’s Eve every year. Philippines believe that this will bring them prosperity by associating the round dots to coins and wealth.
4. Burning Scarecrow(稻草人) Dummy——Ecuador
Ecuador has a unique custom of crafting scarecrows and then burning them at midnight. They adorn them and fill the scarecrows with newspapers and pieces of wood. As midnight approaches, everyone gathers outside their home and each family burns their own scarecrow. The tradition says that this destroys all the bad things that took place in the past 12 months. The scarecrow also scares away bad luck, which in turn, fills their new year with luck and happiness.
5. Mistletoe(槲寄生) Leaves Are Placed Under Pillow to Find Husband——Ireland
The single women of Ireland wait desperately for New Year’s Eve because it is the night that can bring them the love of their lives. They place mistletoe leaves under their pillow hoping to catch their future husband. It is also believed in the Irish culture that this act will help them get rid of bad luck.
The world is a large and very different place. Yes, people of all nations may celebrate New Year’s much differently around the world, with different traditions, but there are a lot of general themes to be seen. We all want to start a new, fresh year with renewed enthusiasm and hope no matter what happened during the past year. We all want to be happier, find love, renew friendships increase our wealth and also hope for a little extra luck in the coming New Year.
【1】When New Year’s Day is coming, people always celebrate it in many ways EXCEPT __________.
A. sharing the time with their lovers
B. getting together with their families
C. enjoying drinks with their friends
D. setting the ball drop
【2】What can you learn when you are paying a visiting to Mexico during New Year’s Day?
A. You’d better talk to your ancestors just at home secretly, or you’ll break the law.
B. It’s New Year’s Day that Mexicans consider the best time to talk to spirits.
C. It’s commonly believed that the dead have spirits and souls living around.
D. You can ask for help free when you want to talk to the dead
【3】The single women of Ireland always ________ hoping to catch their future husband on New Year’s Eve.
A. wear polka dots

24、Don’t get it wrong; there’s nothing wrong with therapy (治疗), except that it costs an arm and a leg. Considering that there are factors causing anxiety everywhere, the following tips come in quite handy. 【1】 But they can make living with disorders less burdensome. These tips would help you improve your mental health, until you can get therapy.
【2】 Locking yourself alone in will only let negative emotions worse. According to research, the sun can actually make you release dopamine, the happiness hormone. Plus, the change in scenery is good for your mind. You can enjoy the sun even if you’ re stuck inside. Just let it in by opening the blinds and airing out your space. Don’t forget to wear sunscreen.
Exercise at your own pace. Some people say gyming helps them feel better about their bodies, trains their minds and gives them something rewarding to do with their time. 【3】 You can choose yoga, fencing, kendo, skating, jujutsu, skipping, and dancing. The list is endless.
Try for restful sleep. Many mental health disorders ruin your sleep pattern, which could be why you’re tired all day. Good sleep isn’t just about how long you’ve stayed asleep. 【4】 For example, irregular sleep may leave you tired in the morning. You can get better sleep results by avoiding caffeine three hours before bedtime, creating a peaceful bedtime routine, and training your rhythm by sleeping and waking at the same time every day.
Take meditation (冥想)sessions. 【5】 Taking some time out to meditate can sort out the noise and calm you down and help you become aware of your present mental state.
A．The quality of the sleep counts.
B．One hour a day is suitable for the elderly.
C．Take a walk in the sun, or at least enjoy the sun.
D．None of these could cure a serious mental health condition.
E．But you don’t have to start weightlifting if you don’t feel like it.
F．Take it seriously how to improve your mental health without therapy.
G．Meditation can make you aware of the conflicting emotions within.
