Say no to waste.” “Do not waste a grain of food.” In the canteens of schools and companies across China, banners (横幅) like these have been put up everywhere. They are part of a nationwide event to cut down on food waste in China.Food waste has become a big problem these days. According to the United Nations, 1.3 billion tons of food is wasted every year— that’s about a third of the world’ s total food. In China alone, the restaurants wasted 17 to 18 million tons of food a year from 2013 to 2015. That could feed 30 to 50 million people for a whole year, according to Chinese Academy of Sciences.To promote (推广) the event, restaurants and catering organizations in more than 18 provinces in China have all made guidelines to control food waste. In Shanxi Province, for example, restaurants have been asked to serve a smaller amount to avoid waste. The Wuhan Catering Organization suggested that restaurants use the “N-1 mode”. For example, a group of 10 dinners should only order enough for nine people at first. More food is only brought to the table if required. If people can’t finish their meals, they are also encouraged to take the leftovers home.A related online event has been held on Sina Weibo. Users share photos or videos of empty plates after finishing their meals. Lots of stars have joined in and asked their fans to develop the habit of saving food. On WeChat, a mini-program called “Clear Plate” encourages people to exchange pictures of their empty plates for credit points. People can use the credit to buy things or donate food to children in poor areas.26. What can we learn from paragraph 2?A. Food waste has caused a lot of problems these days.B. There are 30 million tons of food waste in China for a whole year.C. About 4 billion tons of food is needed for the whole world for a year.D. Chinese restaurants wasted 17 to 18 million tons of food from 2013 to 2015.27. To support the event, people can do the following EXCEPT________.A. bringing home the leftoversB. ordering a smaller amount of foodC. sharing photos or videos while having their mealsD. exchanging pictures of empty plates for credit points28. How does the author develop paragraph 3?A. By listing numbers.B. By giving examples.C. By explaining reasons.D. By comparing facts.BLast night one of my Chinese friends took me to a concert of Chinese folk music. The piece which was played on the erhu especially moved me. The music was strangely beautiful, but under the beauty I sensed a strong sadness and pain. The piece had a simple name, Erquan Yingyue (Moon Reflected on Second Spring), but it was one of the most moving pieces of music that I’ve ever heard. The erhu sounded so sad that I almost cried along with it as I listened. Later I looked up the history of Erquan Yingyue, and I began to understand the sadness in the music.The music was written by Abing, a folk musician who was born in the city of Wuxi in 1893. His mother died when he was very young. Abing’s father taught him to play many musical instruments, such as the drums, dizi and erhu, and in the year of 1910, Abing was known for his musical ability. However, after his father died, Abing’s life grew worse. He was very poor. Not only that, he developed a serious illness and became blind. For several years, he had no home. He lived on the streets and played music to make money. Even after Abing got married and had a home again, he continued to sing and play on the streets. He performed in this way for many years.Abing’s amazing musical skills made him very popular during his lifetime. By the end of his life, he could play over 600 pieces of music. Many of these were written by Abing himself. It is a pity that only six pieces of music in total were recorded for the future world to hear, but his popularity continues to this day. Today, Abing’s Erquan Yingyue is a piece which all the great erhu masters play and praise. It has become one of China’s national treasures. Its sad beauty not only paints a picture of Abing’s own life but also makes people recall their deepest wounds(伤口) from their own sad or painful experiences.29. When was Abing known for his musical ability?A. When he was very young.B. When he was 17 years old.C. After he became blind.D. After he got married.30. Which is NOT the reason why Abing’s music sounds sad?A His father died and he was very poor.B. He lost his eyesight because of his illness.C. Only 6 pieces of his music were recorded.D. He lost his mother when he was very young.31. We can probably play the music Erquan Yingyue ________.A. in wedding partiesB. during the Spring FestivalC. on the Qingming FestivalD. on Christmas32. What’s the correct order of the following events?a.Abing got married and had a home.b.Abing got a serious illness and became blind.c.Abing’s mother died when he was a child.d.Abing learned to play many musical instruments from his father.e.Abing wrote many pieces of music and he could play over 600 pieces.A. a b d c eB. c d b a eC. c d b e aD. a b c a eCIdioms can be a problem for language learners. They often seem to make no sense at all. For example, imagine your English friend Sam tells you his math exam was “a piece of cake”. Do you imagine him at school, sitting in front of a sweet dessert with nothing but a pen to eat it with? In fact, he’s saying that the exam was really easy. It’s important to learn useful English idioms, and knowing how they came into being helps us to remember them. Here are stories of three English idioms.If you ask a friend to hang out, you might hear, “Sorry, I can’t tonight. I’m feeling a little under the weather.” It may sound like rain is coming, but really, it means that your friend feels sick. This expression came from sailors, who often got seasick when bad weather shook the ship from side to side. The sailors went down to the bottom part of the ship, away from the storm and where the ship’s rocking was gentler.If you have a difficult roommate, you might say, “My roommate has loud parties every night, but last night was the last straw. They played music till 5 a.m.! I’m moving out.” “The last straw” is a final problem that makes someone take action. This expression is a short form of the phrase “the straw that broke the camel’s back”. The idea is that even though a single piece of straw is very light, many pieces added together will be too heavy for the camel to carry.Have you ever asked someone if they know something and they reply, “That rings a bell.”? They are not hearing music! They mean that what you’re saying sounds familiar, and they think they’ve heard it before. This idiom comes from the fact that bells are used to remind people of many things. Traditionally, bells would ring for an important event, like a wedding. School bells tell you that class is starting, and even the alarm chime on your phone reminds you that it’s time to get up.33. Why does the author use the example “a piece of cake” in the first paragraph?A. To tell us he has an English friend Sam.B. To tell us how to have a piece of cake at school.C. To say that the maths exam was really easy for Sam.D. To tell us the importance of learning useful English idioms.34. If your friend talks about a film you have seen before, you can say “_______”.A. It’s a piece of cake.B. I’m under the weather.C. This is the last straw.D. That rings a bell.35. What is the structure of the passage?A. B. C. D. 36. In which magazine can you probably read this passage?A. In National Geography.B. In Science.C. In English Learning.D. In Business.D HOME | MOVIES | THEATRES |ORDERSGoing Home (IMDB: 8.1)When Marco returns to his home village in South America after two years away, he hopes to find his girlfriend waiting for him.
