AOn January 13, 2016, France became the first country in the world to pass a law requiring supermarkets to donate (捐赠) food that is nearing its expiration date (截止日期) instead of throwing it away. The law requires supermarkets over 4,000 square feet to make an agreement with local food banks.The law also does not allow stores to crush (压碎) or pour water over food that is about to expire, or store it inside until it is picked up by garbage trucks. These actions are often taken by supermarkets to keep away the hungry from finding this kind of food in the rubbish.Also, factories producing products like milk for supermarkets, are now allowed to donate goods directly to the food banks. Though they have always been able to do that, the former law made it difficult for them to give away the food in a timely manner.The law also requires the charities receiving the donations to store the food in a safe and clean manner and, more importantly, give it out with dignity. This means that they should send it to people in need from a food bank where they can communicate with them, instead of just handing it out on the streets.France’s food banks are of course excited about the possibility of receiving extra food, like meat, vegetables, and fruit. Jacques Bailet, who heads a network of French food banks, says that of the 110,000 tons of goods received every year, only 36,000 tons come from supermarkets. Bailet guesses that just a 15% increase in supermarket donations would change to over 10 million additional meals to feed the hungry each year.Though this is a great first step, Arash Dermabarsh, the activist responsible for the movement that led to the law, points that it is not done. He now wants to extend (扩展) the law to other places like restaurants, bakeries, and school cafeterias.21. What law did France pass in January, 2016?A. People must not eat food that is nearing its expiration date.B. Supermarkets must donate food that is close to its expiration date.C. Supermarkets must throw away food that is close to its expiration date.D. Supermarkets must make an agreement with food banks to ensure food safety.22. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.A. France’s food banks are against the lawB. it is difficult to carry out the new lawC. poor people in France are looked down uponD. the hungry people will benefit from the new law23. Which of the following is NOT included in the new law?A. Allowing factories to donate goods directly to the food banks.B. Allowing more people to find help and food in local supermarkets.C. Requiring the charities to store the food in clean and safe places.D. Requiring the charities to give out the donated food with dignity.BThe Parthenon(帕特农神庙) in Athens is a building with a long and complex history. Built nearly 2,500 years ago as a temple celebrating the Greek goddess Athena, it was for thousands of years the church of the Virgin Mary of the Athenians, then a mosque(清真寺), and finally a ruin. The building was changed and the sculptures(雕塑) much damaged over the centuries. By 1800 only about half of sculptures remained.Between 1801 and 1805, Lord Elgin, the British ambassador(大使) to the Ottoman Empire(奥斯曼帝国), which controlled Athens, acting with the full knowledge and permission of the Ottoman authorities, removed about half of the remaining sculptures from the fallen ruins and from the building itself．Lord Elgin loved Greek history and transported the sculptures back to Britain. The arrival of the sculptures in London had a huge effect on the European public, greatly increasing interest in ancient Greek culture and influencing contemporary(同时代的) art. The British Museum got these sculptures from Lord Elgin in 1816 and since then these sculptures have all been on show to the public, free of charge.Since the early 1980s, however, the Greek government has asked for the return to Athens of all the Parthenon sculptures in the British Museum. They have also challenged the British Museum’s legal title(合法所有权) to the sculptures．The British Museum, however, insists that it exists to tell the story of cultural achievement throughout the world, from the dawn of human history over two million years ago until the present day. The museum considers itself an important resource for the world: the width and depth of its collection allows the world public to re-examine cultural identities and explore the complex network of world cultures.It also says that, the Parthenon sculptures are an important representation of ancient Athenian civilization(文明). Each year millions of visitors admire the sculptures and understand on how ancient Greece influenced— and was influenced by— the other civilizations that it met.24. What can we learn about Lord Elgin from the passage?A. He is greatly admired in Greece.B. He worked for the Ottoman Empire.C. He saved the Parthenon sculptures from being destroyed.D. He had a deep interest in Greek culture.25. The underlined “it” (in Paragraph 4) refers to “______”.A. the British MuseumB. the Greek governmentC. the ParthenonD. British Museum’s legal title26. What can we infer(推断) from the passage?A. The sculptures introduced ancient Greek culture to the west.B. Ancient Greek culture has greatly influenced world culture.C. The British Museum has made much money from the Parthenon sculptures.D. Only the British Museum has the best technology to keep these sculptures safe.27. The author’s main intention in writing this passage is to tell ______.A. the value of the Parthenon and its sculpturesB. what people can see in the British MuseumC. why the British Museum refuses to return the sculpturesD. the influence of Greece on British cultureCA hospital has been forced to ban Pokemon Go players from the site after a monster hub(妖怪枢纽站) was found in the A&E department. Royal Stoke University Hospital discovered that its casualty unit(急诊室) is on the same spot as a Pokemon Go ‘gym’ ─where players can train their newly caught Nintendo creatures.The University Hospitals of North Midlands Trust agreed last week that patients can play Pokemon Go on wards because walking around is healthy. But the Trust has been forced to post a warning on its website about public access to A&E. It said if Pokemon Go becomes a major annoyance it would ask Nintendo─which decides on the locations of the virtual gyms acc ording using GPS─to have it removed from the premises(道馆).Kevin Parker, associate chief nurse, said: “Members of the public who do not need to be at Royal Stoke should not attempt to enter A&E or any other part of the hospital building to play the game. The A&E department is incredibly busy this summer. We want the public to understand that anybody who visits the hospital solely to play the game will provide an unwanted distraction to the important work of the hospital. I’m also aware of various reports i n the media of unsafe areas that the game has been played in.”“Royal Stoke University Hospital is a safe area where gamers can enjoy Pokemon Go.” Michelle Harris, the Trust’s manager, said the game could stillbe played by those already in hospital. “We r ecognise that the Pokemon Go game encourages walking and exercise, which is something that the Trust is equally keen to promote,” she said.There are a number of “walking routes” established throughout the Trust that can be used to combine walking and play ing the game. “Walking just 30 minutes, five times a week, can help reduce the risk of preventable illnesses such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.”There have been several warnings about the game since its UK release. Last week a group of teenagers in Wiltshire were left stranded almost 100ft underground after they got carried away searching for Pokemon Go characters. The four boys, aged 16 and 17, ended up getting lost and had to wait to get a phone signal before they could call for help. Eventually, they contacted Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue team, who took them to safety. Damien Bence, of the fire and rescue team, said: “Pokemon Go is obviously leading people into dangerous situations.”28. It seems that Pokemon Go is a game______.A. designed to help patients in hospital recover soonerB. helping cure such diseases as obesity, diabetes and heart diseaseC. encouraging players to walk and exercise instead of staying indoorsD. warning teenagers of the places easy to get lost or attacked29. The A&E department is incredibly busy because________.A. more patients’ arrival increases the workload of the A&E departmentB. doctors’ playing the game makes the A&E department less efficientC. players’ injury increases the workload of the A&E departmentD. players’ arrival disturbs the work of the A&E department30. The underlined word in the last paragraph probably means_______.A. hurtB. disturbedC. trappedD. threatened31. The passage is mainly about________.A. the negative effects of Pokemon Go since its UK releaseB. the applications of Pokemon Go in hospitals since its UK releaseC. the popularity of Pokemon Go since its UK releaseD. the establishment of Pokemon Go virtual gyms since its UK releaseDPhrases like “good sharing!” and “great job on the slide!” echo across American playgrounds. Coaches pass out ribbons to every participant. Scholar publishes a series called “I’m Special!” assuring readers that the ability to play with friends and sing songs makes them special indeed. We’ve been told that high self-esteem is the key to children’s happiness and success, and we’ve been praising and protecting them ever since. But has the self-esteem movement gone too far? Many experts argue that instead of raising healthy high achievers,maybe we’re raising a generation of narcissists(自我陶醉者). “Our old concepts of self-esteem(自尊) are old-fashioned, and parents need to send the concept to the trash heap of all things outdated and useless,” says Aaron Cooper, co-author of I Just Want My Kids to be Happy.While experts used to blame low self-esteem for everything from bad grades to criminal behavior, research has shown that inflated(膨胀的)self-esteem is more often the criminal. An article called “Rethinking Self-Esteem” by Roy made a stir when he supposed that criminals and drug abusers actually had higherself-esteem than the general population. Martin and Ervin found that the modern habit of constant praise was turning kids skeptical and unmotivated. And esteemed child development expert T. Barry recently wrote in The New York Times that the phrase “self-esteem” had lost its meaning. Parents j ust want their children to have a positive self-image. And while it’s easy to make fun of the extremes of the self-esteem movement, it’s difficult to walk the fine line between acquiring self-respect and self-centeredness. Anyway, make it clear that while you have expectations for their behavior, you love and accept them unconditionally. True self-esteem isn’t about a steady stream of applause; it develops when children know their limits and responsibilities are given enough opportunities to challenge thems elves, and feel secure that they’re loved even when they fail.32. What’s the purpose of using phrases like “good sharing!” and “great job on the slider”?A. To attract readers’ attention.B. To introduce the topic.C. To give the author’s opinion.D. To tell readers the key to happiness and success.33. According to the text, which of the following statements is true?A. Children with high esteem are likely to be high achievers.B. In children’s development high self-esteem plays a positive role.C. High self-esteem makes kids motivated nowadays.D. High self-esteem does harm to kids in a way.34. The proper way to develop children’s true self-esteem is to .A. give them constant praise unconditionally.B. let them shoulder all their responsibilities.C. offer them support even though they fail.D. have high expectations for their behavior.35. What’s the author’s attitude towards high self-esteem?A. Subjective.B.Positive.C.Objective.D. Negative.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
