21、Popping food into the microwave for a couple of minutes may seem utterly harmless, but Europe's stock of these quick-cooking ovens emit as much carbon as nearly 7 million cars, a new study has found. And the problem is growing. With costs falling and kitchen appliances becoming "status" items, owners are throwing away microwaves after an average of eight years. This is pushing sales of new microwaves which are expected to reach 135 million annually in the EU by the end of the decade.
A study by the University of Manchester calculated the emissions of CO2—the main greenhouse gas responsible for climate change—at every stage of microwaves, from manufacture to waste disposal. "It is electricity consumption by microwaves that has the biggest impact on the environment," say the authors. The authors also calculate that the emissions from using 19 microwaves over a year are the same as those from using a car. According to the same study, efforts to reduce consumption should focus on improving consumer awareness and behavior. For example, consumers could use appliances in a more efficient way by adjusting the time of cooking to the type of food.
However, David Reay, professor of carbon management, argues that, although microwaves use a great deal of energy, their emissions are minor compared to those from cars. In the UK alone, there are around 30 million cars. These cars emit more than all the microwaves in the EU. Backing this up, recent data show that passenger cars in the UK emitted 69 million tons of CO2in 2015. This is 10 times the amount this new microwave oven study estimates-for annual emissions for all the microwave ovens in the EU. Further, the energy used by microwaves is lower than any other form of cooking. Among common kitchen appliances used for cooking, microwaves are the most energy efficient, followed by a stove and finally a standard oven. Thus, rising microwave sales could be seen as a positive thing.
【1】What is the finding of the new study?
A．Quick-cooking microwave ovens have become more popular.
B．CO2 emissions constitute a major threat to the environment.
C．The frequent use of microwaves may do harm to our health.
D．The use of microwaves emits more CO2 than people think.
【2】Why are the sales of microwaves expected to rise?
A．They are becoming more affordable.
B．They are getting much easier to operate.
C．They take less time to cook than other appliances.
D．They have a shorter life cycle than other appliances.
【3】What recommendation does the study by the University of Manchester make?
A．Improving microwave users' habits.
B．Cooking food of different varieties.
C．Eating less to cut energy consumption.
D．Using microwave ovens less frequently.
【4】What does Professor David Reay try to argue?
A．People should be persuaded into using passenger cars less often.
B．The UK produces less CO2 than many other countries in the EU.
C．More data are needed to show whether microwaves are harmful.
D．There are far more emissions from cars than from microwaves.
【5】What does Professor David Reay think of the use of microwaves?
A．It'll become less popular in the coming decades.
B．It plays a useful role in environmental protection.
C．It makes everyday cooking much more convenient.
D．It consumes more power than conventional cooking.
22、What would the world be if there were no hunger? It’s a question that the late (已故的) ecologist Donella Meadows would ask her students at Dartmouth College back in the 1970s. She set out to create a global movement. The result — an approach known as systems thinking — is now seen as essential in meeting big global challenges.
Systems thinking is crucial to achieving targets such as zero hunger and better nutrition. According to systems thinking, changing the food system — or any other network — requires three things to happen. First, researchers need to identify all the players in that system; second, they must work out how they relate to each other; and third, they need to understand and quantify the impact of those relationships on each other and on those outside the system.
Take nutrition for example. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization tracked 150 biochemicals in food and various databases, which revealed the relationships between calories, sugar, fat, vitamins and the occurrence of common diseases. But using machine learning and artificial intelligence, network scientists propose that human diets consist of at least 26,000 biochemicals and that the vast majority are not known. This shows that we have some way to travel before achieving the first objective of systems thinking — which, in this example, is to identify more constituent parts of the nutrition system.
A systems approach to creating change is also built on the assumption that everyone in the system has equal power and status. But the food system is not an equal one. There have been calls for a World Food and Nutrition Organization, so that legally binding policies can be applied to all its members. Another way to address power imbalances is for more universities to do what Meadows did and teach students how to think using a systems approach.
A team of researchers has done just that, through the Interdisciplinary Food Systems Teaching and Learning program. Students from disciplines including agriculture, ecology and economics learn together by drawing on their collective expertise in addressing real-world problems, such as how to reduce food waste. Since its launch in 2015, the program has trained more than 1,500 students from 45 university departments.
More researchers, policymakers and representatives from the food industry must learn to look beyond their direct lines of responsibility and embrace a systems approach, as the editors of Nature Food advocate in their launch editorial. Meadows knew that visions alone don’t produce results, but concluded that “we’ll never produce results that we can’t envision”.
【1】The passage is mainly about ________.
A．how to conduct research efficiently
B．how to build a world food organization
C．an approach to solving real-world problem
D．an approach to applying scientific findings
【2】According to paragraph 3, the study conducted by network scientists revealed that ________.
A．artificial intelligence is more useful than traditional methods
B．achieving systems thinking requires identifying more components
C．we are unable to gain thorough understanding of our nutritious system
D．some biochemicals are related with the occurrence of common diseases
【3】According to the passage, what do we know about the Interdisciplinary (各个学科之间) Food Systems Teaching and Learning program?
A．It is the only way of solving imbalance in our food system.
B．It aims to urge the governments to carry out its food policies.
C．It seeks to solve theoretical issues about food and nutrition
D．It has cultivated many interdisciplinary talents since its launch.
【4】What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?
A．No results can be achieved if nobody is willing to take responsibility.
B．Vision is the first necessary step towards solving global challenges.
C．Vision is not as important as understanding the nature of problems.
D．Systems thinking is unrealistic, so concrete action should be taken.
23、When Byron Thanarayen and his wife Melissa returned to their home recently, their 13-year-old dog named Chucky was completely wet. The couple assumed the dog had splashed around in his water bowl and made a mess in the house. When no evidence could be found inside, they turned to their security footage (录像).
What they saw made the blood freeze in their veins. Chucky was walking near their backyard swimming pool when he stumbled (绊倒) and fell in. Since the dog is so tiny, he was unable to get a purchase on the slick sides of the pool. Instead, he paddled around, searching in vain for a way out. After a few desperate moments, the couple's other dog appeared on the scene. Jessie is a 7-year-old dog who became noticeably upset when she saw her friend struggling to keep his head above the water. She began circling the pool's edge, following Chucky as if she was encouraging him not to give up.
For 34 minutes, Jessie worked to rescue her friend. She repeatedly tried to grab hold of the smaller dog with her mouth, but Chucky kept slipping out of her grasp. Finally, after several failed attempts, Jessie succeeded in grasping Chucky's neck and dragging him out of the pool.
When Byron and Melissa realized Jessie was a hero, they were unspeakably grateful for their sweet girl! “We still struggle to watch that video today, just thinking of what could have happened if Jessie was not there,” Byron said. “I'm really proud of her, considering she is the youngest.” The family now plans to install a pool cover to keep their pets safe. Thankfully, they have a wonderful life-dog on duty just in case anything ever goes wrong!
【1】What was the couple's first thought finding their messy house?
A．Someone had broken in.
