24、   Everyone has his own birthday. People in different countries celebrate their birthdays in different ways. Now here are four people from different countries. They will tell us how they celebrate their birthdays in their countries.

Sandy comes from Madrid(马德里) . She says happily, “My 21st birthday is on Saturday, and I’m going to go out with some friends. To wish me a happy birthday, they are going to pull on my ear 21 times, once for each year. It’s an old custom. Some people pull on the ear just once, but my friends are very traditional.”

Mr. and Mrs. Sato are from Tokyo. Mr. Sato is going to be 60 tomorrow. In Japan, the sixtieth birthday is called Kanreki(花甲)——it’s the beginning of a new life. The color red is for a new life, so we always give something red for a sixtieth birthday.

26、   Who wants to eat food that is thrown away as waste? Believe it or not, that’s exactly what world leaders did at a lunch held by the United Nations in 2015.

During the meal, the world leaders enjoyed dishes like salads and burgers made with thrown-away vegetables and fruits. Chef Dan Barber, who helped create the meal, hoped that the experience would make the leaders pay more attention to the issue of food waste.

It is a huge problem. One out of nine people on Earth does not get enough food. Yet every year over one third of the food produced worldwide goes to waste!

Why is so much food wasted? Firstly, food is often thrown away before it reaches customers because too much of it is produced, or because it is not kept properly in farms. Secondly, shops and supermarkets usually throw away unsold food. Finally, customers often buy more food than they need, so a lot of uneaten food is wasted.

How can you waste less food? When eating out, you may ask for less food and take home what is left. Visit fast food restaurants less often, since they are usually more wasteful. Encourage your favorite restaurants to give unsold food to food banks.

You can also waste less food at home. Use smaller rice bowls so that you serve less rice. Encourage family members to use unfinished rice to make rice puddings. Tell family members to make a shopping list and buy only what is on the list when shopping for food.

Food waste is a growing problem and we, either farmers or food sellers or customers, must take this problem more seriously and do what we can to help.

【1】What did world leaders do at a lunch held by the United Nations in 2015?

A．They threw away food as waste during the meal.

B．They made dishes with waste vegetables and fruits

C．They ate food made with waste vegetables and fruits.

D．They helped Chef Dap Barber create the special meal.

【2】The underlined word “issue” in Paragraph2 is closest in meaning to ________.

A．result

B．problem

C．cause

D．beginning

【3】Which way of wasting less food is mentioned in the passage?

A．Buying unsold food from supermarkets.

B．Keeping food properly in a fridge.

C．Using smaller rice bowls when eating out.

D．Asking for less food in restaurants.

27、Have you ever heard someone use the phrase “once in a blue moon”? People use this expression to describe something that they do not do very often. For example, someone might say that he tries to avoid（避免） eating sweets because they are unhealthy, but will eat chocolate” once in a blue moon”. Or someone who does not usually like to go to the beach might say “I visit the shore once in a blue moon.”While many people use this phrase, not everyone knows the meaning behind it.

The first thing to know is that the moon itself is never really blue. This is just an expression. In fact, the phrase” blue moon” has to do with the shape of the moon, not the color.

As the moon travels around the earth, it appears to change shape. We associate(联系) certain names with certain shapes of the moon. For example, when we can see a small part of the moon it is called a crescent moon. A crescent is a shape that looks like the tip（尖端） of a fingernail （手指甲）when we cannot see the moon at all,  it is called a new moon. When we can see the whole moon, it is called a full moon. Usually, there is only one full moon every month. Sometimes, however there will be two full moons in one month. When this happens, the second full moon is called a blue moon”.

Over the next 20 years, there will only be 15 blue moons. As you can see, a blue moon is a very rare (稀有的)event. This fact has led people to use the expression” once in a blue moon” to describe other very rare events in their lives.

【1】Which of the following would be a good example of using the phrase” once in a blue moon”?

A．Simon often tells jokes. Simon tells jokes once in a blue moon.

B．Tom hardly remembers to do exercise. Tom does exercise once in a blue moon.

C．Mary likes to go shopping every weekend. Mary goes shopping once in a blue moon.

D．Cindy hates to do housework, but she does housework every day. Cindy does housework once in a blue moon.

【2】When does a blue moon happen in nature?  ________________

A．When the moon has a blue moon.

B．When we cannot see the moon at all.

C．When there are two full moons in one month.

D．When we can only see a small part of the color.

【3】 How often will a blue moon happen over the next twenty years?__________

A．Once a year.

B．Less than once a year.

C．More than once a year.

D．At least twice a year.

【4】What does the underlined part “This fact” in the last paragraph refer to?___________

A．A blue moon is a very rare event.

B．The moon appears to change shape.

C．The moon itself is never really blue.

D．A blue moon has to do with the shape of the moon.

28、请根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词。

A 22-year-old British student has invented(发明) a mobile fridge, “Isobar”, which could save millions of lives in the world.

Will Broadway’s “Isobar” has been designed to k【1】 vaccines(疫苗) at the ideal temperature while they are being sent in developing countries. And Will doesn’t plan to make money from his creation. His p【2】 is to get vaccines to people who need them, which is why he won’t be trying to get a patent(专利). Will’s Isobar has w【3】 him the James Dyson Award that challenges young people to design something that solves a problem.

Present m【4】 of transporting vaccines can lead to the vaccines freezing(冻住) before reaching their places in developing countries, b【5】 the Isobar keeps a temperature of 2 to 8 degrees for 30 days.

Will’s invention is expected to save the lives of 1.5 million people a【6】 the world. After finishing college education, he is making an effort to take the Isobar into production. “I will be hands-on, all the way through it, and make sure that it w【7】, ” he says.

The product has been designed to transport vaccines, but already Will sees the possibility for other m【8】 uses in the developing world and beyond. “Blood donations, organ transplants(器官移植)—if they get trapped in t【9】, you still use cold-bags that really aren’t good enough for a long time, ” he says.

There is also a possible, non-medical use for the Isobar. “It would be a great thing to take on a five-day trip w【10】 you have no power,” he says. But he insists vaccine transportation is the primary function (功能) of his invention.
