17.
Almost every Chinese person can recite the two lines of the famous poem, "Every grain on th e plate comes from hard work（谁知盘中餐，粒粒皆辛
苦）．"But sadly, many of us don't actually get the real meaning of these lines: Don't waste fo od．
A CCTV program, News One Plus One, reported that the food Chinese people throw away e very year is enough to feed 200million people for a year．
Do we have too much food? Of course not．According to the UN World Food Program, ther e were 925million hungry people around the world in 2010, especially in developing countri es．Six million children die of hunger every year．
Chinese people are well known for being hospitable（好客
的） and generous．Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all the food on the table．
Luckily, a number of people have realized the importance of saving food．Last November, Li Hong, a waitress in a restaurant in Nanjing, got fired because she took someleftover food h ome for her son．Many people stood by her side and criticized the waste of food．
What should we do in our daily lives to waste less food? Here are some tips:
（1）
Do not order too much in a restaurant．Only order as much as you want to eat．If you canno t eat all the food you ordered，take the rest of it home．2．Don't be too picky（挑剔
的） about food．Some food may not taste great，
but your body needs it．3．Keep an eye on what food you have at home．Don't buy too muc h，
especially for vegetables and fruit．46．How many people were hungry in the world in 201 0according to the UN World Food Program？________
A 200million．
B Six million．
C 925million．
D 625million．

18. How should one invest a sum of money in these clays of inflation （通货膨
胀）? Left in a bank it will hardly keep its value, however high the interest rate．Only a brav
e man, or a very rich one, dares to buy and sell on the Stock Market．Today it seems that one o
f the best ways to protect your savings, and even increase your wealth is to buy beautiful ob jects from the past．Here I am goin
g to offer some advice on collecting antique clocks, whic
h I personally consider are among the most interesting of antiques．
I sometimes wonder what a being from another planet might report back about our way of life．"The planet Earth is ruled by a mysterious creature that sits or stands in a room and ma kes a strange ticking sound．It has a face with twelve black marks and two hands．Men can do nothing without its permission, and it fastens its young round people's wrists so that ever ywhere men go they are still under its control．This creature is the real master of Earth and men are its slaves（奴隶）．"
Whether or not we are slaves of time today depends on our culture and personality, but it i
s believed that many years ago kings kept special slaves to tell the time．Certain men were v ery clever at measuring
（量） the time of clay according to the beating of their own hearts．They were made to sta nd in a fixed place and every hour or so would shout tire time．So it seems that the first cloc ks were human beings．
However, men quickly found more convenient and reliable（可靠
的） ways of telling the time．They learned to use the shadows cast by the sun．They mark ed the hours on candles, used sand in hour-glasses, and invented water-
clocks．Indeed, any serious student of antique should spend as much time as possible visitin g palaces, stately homes and museums to see some of the finest examples of clocks from the past．
Antique clocks could be very expensive, but one of the joys of collecting clocks is that it is s till possible to find quite cheap ones for your own home．After all, if you are going to be rule
d by time, why not invest in air antiqu
e clock and perhaps make a future profit（收益）?
（1）According to the passage，collecting antique clocks________．
A can hardly keep the value of your savings．
B will cost much of your savings．
C may increase your wealth．
D needs your bravery．
（2）By quoting （引用） the remark of a being from another planet，
the author intends to________．
A suggest human beings are controlled by a clock．
B describe why clocks can rule the p lanet Earth．
C tell readers what clocks look like．
D compare chocks to human bein gs．
（3）Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way to measure the time？________
A Counting the beating of one's own heart．
B Making use of candles，
sand and water． C Observing shadows cast by the sun． D Keeping slaves busy day and night．
（4）The underlined phrase stately homes in paragraph（段落）4means________．
A state-
owned houses． B houses in very good condition． C grand houses open to the publ ic． D houses where statesmen meet regularly．
（5）The purpose of the passage is________．
A to introduce the culture of antique clocks．
B to offer some advice on collecting antiqu e clocks．
C to compare different ways to make a future profit．
D to explain conven ient and reliable ways of telling time．
19. It was a cold day，
but the students from Prosser Middle School in Chicago were sorting through the waste whe
n they found that their school produces 1，500pounds every day．
fFood tray
Prosser is just one school that throws out nearly 4，
000 meal trays every day．Counting all of Chicago's public schools，
the number comes to nearly a quarter of a million a day．That's more than 1million a week a nd about 5million a month．
"None of the trays are being recycled，
"said a teacher．"Everyone agrees that it's very bad．"
Luckily，
concerns about the environment and health have made some US cities take action．Dozens o f schools have begun programs to reduce the use of food trays in school．
These schools have also banned （禁止）some fast food，including McDonald's．Instead，they offer students recyclable trays．They encourage students to sort out lunchroom waste，then wash and recycle milk cartons and trays．So far，
the program has helped schools to save a total of 820，000trays each week．
Jay Stream Middle School in Illinois teaches its students how to collect trays．The school has cut its lunchroom waste by two thirds now that students recycle their used trays instead of b reaking them．
Prosser Middle School also sees the benefits of the program．Students have organized about 20clubs and volunteer activities to cut down on cafeteria garbage．They now recycle 80per cent of the school waste．"I joined the club，"said Erika Santana，a 16-year-
old junior in Prosser，"because I want to make Earth a better place．"
56．Did Prosser Middle School create much garbage every day before the program？________ 57．How many meal trays do public schools in Chicago throw out a day？________ 58．What does Jay Stream Middle School teach its students to do？________
59．Who joined the club？________
60．What's the passage about？________．
请根据短文内容，填写表格，每空不超过3个单词．
20. Many people would like to watch sport matches．First，
you need to know about audience manners．
Most sporting arenas（竞技场）
have rules for audience written on the back of the tickets．Read your ticket carefully before you arrive．Try to reach your seat half an hour before the start of the event and don't leave when a game is in progress．When you have，
remember to take away your soft drink bottles and other rubbish．
During exciting games，
try to control yourself．Don't criticize the performance of players and coaches．Be careful with your words，since some may cause anger among other people in the audience．Clapping is a special form of body language you can use to communicate with players，
but you should do it properly．When players first appear，
clap your hands together to welcome them，
but don't go on for too long．After an excellent performance，
clap warmly．If someone fails，your clapping will help encourage them．
Clapping is not welcome，however，
while players need to keep their attention．Various sports have various rules for the audienc e．
Enjoying artistic gymnastics silence．But lots of cheering can really help basketball and foot ball players．When you watch snooker and table tennis matches，
flash photography is not allowed．Mobile phones are not allowed in shooting centers．
To be a good audience，you should take time to learn the game-
particular rules and related culture of each event．
Title：Good Audience Manners
B：That's great news．（66）________？
A：On April，18th．
B：Have you watched it？
A：（67）________．
B：How do you like it？
A：（68）________，because it introduces some Chinese culture and tasty food to us．
B：Really!It is a pity that I didn't watch it!
A：（69）________？
B：
That's a good idea．I will go to your home to watch it together next Saturday．I can't wait fo r it!See you!
