Too Good to Go is a smartphone app which allows restaurants to sell food that would otherwise be thrown away at discount prices from as little as￡2 and a maximum of ￡3。

80, ever if the meals are sold from the very finest restaurants in the country. Originally created in Denmark and launched in Brighton and Leeds in June， the service has recently been introduced in the United Kingdom by a couple of young entrepreneurs （企业家）。

Millions of tons of food are thrown in the trash every year, with restaurants accounting for a large part， so eco-entrepreneurs Chris Wilson and Jamie Crummie came up with the good idea to stop food waste。

Using Too Good to Go not only helps restaurants save expense, but gives people in need the chance to order fancy dishes at low prices.
Too Good to Go is very convenient for users。

Restaurants make food available on the Too Good To Go app and website。

People can look through the available dishes on the smartphones, pay for them using credit card and pick them up at a set time， an hour before closing time.
Although Too Good to Go does take a fee from restaurants for each sale, its creators say the end goal is to use it for restaurants to solve their waste management problem，rather than making a profit。

Wilson claims, "The idea is that restaurants stop producing the extra food so they don't need to throw it away in the trash， and we really want to put ourselves out of business by stopping food waste。

”
Birmingham has become the latest city where restaurants can reduce food waste to the lowest limit by working with the Too Good To Go social enterprise app.
24. Where was Too Good to Go originally launched？
A。

In Denmark. B。

In Brighton。

C. In Birmingham。

D. In the US. 25. What’s the app intended to do？
A。

Make a profit by selling food on the website.
B。

Allow restaurants to sell foods at low prices.
C。

Help restaurants to deal with leftover food.
D. Call on restaurants to save food and money。

26. How did the creators of the app make profits?
A。

By selling copies of the app。

B。

By taking a fee from buyers.
C。

By getting donations from entrepreneurs.
D。

By charging restaurants for each sale。

27. What can we infer from the text?
A. People can pay less money for a rich meal。

B。

The app is mainly designed to help the poor。

C. Dishes can be sold to make a lot of profits.
D。

People can get their ordered food at home。

C
Jumping off random cliffs（悬崖) into the sea is not clever。

However， as a sport，coasteering uses local experts to help groups travel around the coast so they can then jump safely and have a lot of fun in the process。

But coasteering is also so much more than cliff jumping.
A usual day’s coasteering will involve swimming, climbing, scramb ling（攀岩）and cliff jumping。

All trips begin with a safety brief and equipment check。

You will
be equipped with a helmet, wetsuit and life vest. You will need to wear some old sneakers you don’t mind getting wet.
From here it could be a short swim to the first jump site. Following an instructor, you swim through rock pools， around rough rocks and right up to the next jump spot。

that’s guaranteed to last the rest of the day。

Coasteering is certainly more than cliff jumping。

If ever a sport could claim to be confidence building, this is it. And it’s also a perfect activity for groups of friends or for adventurous families who want to explore the coast。

Many companies offer daily trips, so even if you are on your own or a couple you can join in with a large group。

Companies use trained guides with much knowledge of local tides and weather conditions。

These people lead the show and are qualified lifesavers as well。

Coasteering is already popular around the UK. At least now you won’t have to ask “What is coasteering?” if someone you know gives it a go.

A。

A daily sightseeing trip B. A non—expert guided diving C。

A cliff and water based sport D。

You felt scared and regretful B。

You became totally tired
C. You discovered your potential D。

You gained complete relief
31.What is the author’s purpose of writing the text?
A。

To organize coasteering B. To introduce coasteering
C。

To advertise spots for coasteering D。

To train coasteering—lovers
D
Twenty years ago, the following news item probably wouldn’t have made much sense to most Americans。

These words come from Arabic， a language with which few Americans are familiar。

Yet by 1990 these words were routinely used in both broadcast and print news。

How did these words find their way into English?
Like all existing languages, English is continually changing. The adoption of foreign words into English vocabulary, called borrowing, is anything but a new phenomenon. In fact, it's been going on from the time the language first began to take shape around A。

D. 450。

English has been borrowing words from the conquered（被征服者), trading partners， immigrants, and a variety of other sources。

So when the events in the Middle East commanded the world’s attention during the latter part of the twentieth century。

English simply borrowed the words it needed to describe what was happening in that area。

The more often such words were used, the less “foreign" they sounded. Eventually, these borrowed words came to be used
routinely in speech and writing.
Borrowed vocabulary from foreign language is not the only source of new words in English. As fresh ideas evolve and innovative technology are developed, new English words are created to describe them。

These words may be words borrowed(WB) from other languages， existing words taking on new meanings(EWNM）, acronyms, blends， compounds, or newly coined words, as the following examples and the chart show.
In the next four lessons，you’ll be introduced to some of the history and mechanisms （体系) that have shaped and continued to influence the language we use. Whether the words we speak are borrowed or created，they show a vital feature of English -—-adaptability. English is alive。

32. What does the word “commanded” in the fourth paragraph probably mean?
A. drew
B. instructed C。

controlled D. ordered
33。

The word “brunch” may belong to an example of __________。

A. WB
B. Blends
C. Acronyms D。

Compound
34. Where does this text probably come from？
A。

A cultural section of a newspaper
B。

A language book review
C。

A language lesson book
D. A language course advertisement
35. Which of the following can best cover the main idea of the passage？
A。

The language in the media is changing
B。

English has been borrowing words
C. English is a living language
D. A new phenomenon appears in English

Dear Jim,
I’m writing to tell you more about the new form of sharing bike mobike mentioned in your latest letter.
It’s very convenient to use if you have a mobile phone。

What you do is to find a nearest mobike through the APP, scan the QR code on the bike, and enjoy your trip。

Compared to other forms of sharing bike， the greatest advantage of mobike is that you can easily find one and never worry about where to park it。

It is becoming a new trend as a means of transportation， which relieves the traffic pressure and does good to the environment as well。

Hope to ride a mobike with you in China.
Yours，
Li Hua。
