24、①According to a research, more than 130 billion pounds of uneaten food go to waste in Laura’s country each year. That is about 30% of the yearly food supply (供应). It is a sad fact, especially when you consider how many families and homeless people are in hunger.

②When Laura saw her school dining hall throw away food that was not eaten at all every day, she came up with an idea. She started a project to help her school dining hall to give away uneaten food to homeless shelters (庇护所) in her community. In the past three years, the same project has spread to other schools and some fast food restaurants throughout the city. The project is called Feed & Find, and has already fed thousands of people in her city. How does it work? Through an app, Feed & Find matches local homeless shelters with school dining halls and restaurants that have uneaten food to provide. When dining halls or restaurants have uneaten food left, they can use the app to share the information about the food. A truck driver working for the project is then sent to pick it up and take it to a shelter.

③Pretty cool, right? It’s not surprising that people in other cities have got in touch with Laura, hoping that she could help develop similar projects for their communities.

④Some people, however, have concerns about the safety of the uneaten food. They think such food may not be clean enough. Still, this project is a clever way to help solve the problem of food waste and it helps those in need.

A．food waste is serious

D．To introduce a dining guide app.

25、   You are walking down the street.  Suddenly it starts to rain and you don’t have an umbrella.  What do you do? Run or walk?

Most people would choose to run because it will get you out of the rain faster.  But if you run, you also run into more raindrops.  So what should you do?

Franco Bocci, a teacher at the University of Brescia in Italy, found that you should consider the wind direction and your body shape when you try to decide to move slowly or quickly in rain, according to the BBC.  

When there is no wind and the rain is landing directly on you, Bocci suggests that you should run as fast as possible.

But if the wind comes from behind and blows the rain onto your back, the best thing to do is walking at the same speed as the wind.  This way, both your front and back will stay mostly dry.

When the wind blows from the side, you'll have to think about one more thing—your body shape.  Thinner people are hit by fewer raindrops.  So a fatter person should run, while a thinner person should still try to match their speed to the wind.

“In general (大体来说)，the best thing is to run, as fast as you can—not always, but in general, Bocci told BBC News.  “If you’re really thin, it’s more probable that there will be an optimal speed.  Otherwise (否则），it is better to run fast. ”

Now you know what to do next time the rain catches you in the middle of the street.  But the best way to stay dry is still to carry an umbrella.

【1】According to Bocci, when it rains and there is no wind, what should you do?

A.Walk slowly. B.Run as fast as you can.

C.Wait until the rain stops. D.Walk at the same speed as the rain.

【2】Walking at the same speed when the wind comes from behind will   .

A.help you walk easily in the rain B.keep any rain falling on you

C.stop you from falling over D.keep your body mostly dry

【3】If the wind comes from the side, a thin person should consider________.

A.how fast he can run B.how long the rain will last

C.what the speed of the wind is D.what clothes he is wearing

【4】The underlined word “optimal” probably means________.

A.合适的 B.极限的 C.缓慢的 D.难以超越的

27、This morning, a boy of twelve saw a small fire at one end of a ship. Tom left home very early, against the wishes of his father, to see the ships at the port. It was a good thing that he did, because there was nobody else around, and the small fire grew dangerously big very soon.

Tom stood near the ship and shouted at the top of his voice. He woke up the port workers living nearby.

The ship was one of the six big ships in port at the time and they were all carrying oil（石油）and paper.

The fire burned hundblacks of boxes of paper, so it spread very quickly. The end of the ship was black with smoke, but thanks to Tom, the fire didn't reach the oil.

Tom was also lucky, because his father was pleased rather than angry with him.

阅读短文，判断正误，正确的选A，错误的选B：

【2】It was a small fire but it grew big very slowly.

【3】The ship was carrying paper and wood .

【4】As soon as the boy saw the fire, he shouted to wake up the workers nearby.

【5】In this story the underlined word "against" means“违背”in Chinese.

28、   Can memory be improved? Most people hope to have a memory 【1】 helps them succeed in study, work and life. Luckily, hundreds of studies in the past 50 years have already given us a clear answer.

A healthy lifestyle keeps your brain young and memory sharp. First of all, it is necessary to have a healthy diet. Eating more food rich in vitamin B and Vitamin E, such as vegetables and lean meat, helps you have a better memory. Doing exercise can keep your brain alive, too. Proper exercise 【2】 (provide) much needed oxygen for the brain. Running, riding a bike, swimming and even walking two or three times 【3】 week are helpful. Moreover, getting enough sleep is important. The【4】 (healthy) your lifestyle is, the better your memory will become, but do not expect a sudden change - it takes a long time to have a good effect.

Memory skills help you remember things better. Here are two 【5】 (wide) used skills. Chunking is a way of remembering a piece of information by 【6】 (cut) it into smaller ones. For example, to memorize a ten-digit telephone number 2127983630, you can divide the digits 【7】 three groups: first 212, then 798, and lastly 3630. Teaching is a simple way to train our brains to be more effective 【8】 you need to understand before teaching something. Teaching strengthens the understanding.

In fact, memory skills will hardly work if you don’t understand the information. What’s more, only a regular review can make the memory last long. That is why students 【9】(advise) to go over what they have learnt after one day and then after three days, and then use it as regularly as possible.

Human brains are like muscles that need nutrients and exercise to become stronger. If you make a few lifestyle 【10】 (change) and try some memory skills, you can certainly improve your memory.
