Children obesity is alsoat an all-time high.Obesity means being very overweight. If you are obese, you have too much bodyfat.

The system works fairly well for beans and corn, but mangoes-the area’s other main crop-spoil (腐烂) more quickly. If the trader is late, they rot.However, a simple coating could change that. A company, SmartTech, has created a product that doubles the shelf life of fresh produce, enabling farmers to access far-off, larger markets. More time forfresh produce on grocers’ shelves also means less food waste-a $2.6 trillion problem, according to the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).James Rogers, CEO of SmartTech, wanted to solve the problem for food much in the same way that oxide barriers preventing rust (锈) have achieved for steel. Fortunately, researchers have found when plants made the jump from water to land, they developed cutin(蜡质), a barrier which is made of fatty acids that link together to form a seal around the plant, helping keep water in.The cutin was such a grand strategy that today you’ll still find it across the plant kingdom. SmartTech discovered through researches that an orange can last longer than a strawberry not so much because of the thickness of its skin, but because of the difference in the arrangement of those cutin molecules (分子)on thesurface. After extensive trials, Rogers and his team developed a natural and tasteless protective coating from plant material-stems, leaves and skins. The product extends the sweet spot between ripening and rot. And best of all, the treated produce doesn’t require refrigeration.“SmartTech has huge potential to turn poor farmers in Africa into commercial farmers,” says Rogers. “That means more money in pockets, and more food in stomachs.” But whether the company can cost-effectively reach small farmers in far-off areas still remains a challenge.12. The author mentions the small farmers in Kenya to ________.A. stress their need for preserving produceB. show their challenge in harvesting cropsC. express their wish to reach larger marketsD. evaluate their loss caused by slow transport13. What can we learn about SmartTech’s product?A. It is financially supported by FAO.B. It is intended to replace refrigeration.C. It is designed to thicken produce’s skin.D. It is based on plants’own defence system.14. What will James Rogers probably focus on next?A. How to expand farms.B. How to earn more money.C. How to produce more tasty food.D. How to profit farmers in remote area.15. The main purpose of the passage is to ________.A. promote a productB. present a technologyC. advertise SmartTechD. introduce James Rogers第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Carson calls himself, a matchmaker of the never-ending waste of American society, trying not to pair people with people, but things with people.For nearly ten years, his company, Repurposed Materials, has not been looking to recycle the waste he gets —breaking it down to make something new—but rather finding new homes for thrown-away goods in their original (原来的) forms.In the late 1990s, Carson was on break from business school in Vail, Colorado, when he discovered the vast world of waste. He began thinking about creating a secondhand store that would sell oldmaterials and keep them out of being wasted. Then, in 2010, his company, Repurposed Materials appeared.Carson, a husband and father of three adult children, is far from wasteful. Frugal is how he describes himself. The clothes he’s wearing all came from a charity shop; the truck he drove was a secondhand one.“Why break something down, why melt something down, if it still has value?” he asks. An old oil-field pipe might be melted down and turned into a car bumper, but it still takes an amount of power to finish the complete change. Why not leave it as a steel pipe? Why not turn it into a fence post on a farm? That way, the only cost is transport.American industrial facilities create and throw about 7. 6 billion tons of unwanted industrial materials every year. For the moment, Carson’s unique business finds new lives for millions of kilograms of waste every year.4. What does Repurposed Materials try to do?A．To collect the secondhand hardware. B．To find new homes for wasted goods.C．To make something new with waste. D．To change the waste’s original forms.5. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A．Carson’s le ssons at the business school. B．Carson’s dream to change the wasteworld.C．What led to Carson’s Repurposed Materials. D．Why Carson was interested in secondhand stuff.6. How does Carson describe his life?A．Colorful. B．Rich. C．Fantastic. D．Simple.7. What can we learn from Carson?A．No pains, no gains. B．Think outside the box.C．Well begun, half done. D．Look before you leap.Sound has a great influence on our physical and mental state; a good song can brighten up our mood immediately and a crying child can make you annoyed in seconds. So, there has to be a sound, a perfect frequency (频率) to get rid of our anxiety, right?Well, scientists have been examining different frequencies that may have positive effects on our health. Among these frequencies, 528 Hz has got wide attention during the last ten years because of its therapeutic functions. In various scientific studies, 528 Hz is known as the Miracle Frequency, or sometimes as Love Frequency. It has a calming effect on our nervous system and helps create a sense of relaxation that can beat anxiety.Research has shown that when we put ourselves to 528 Hz frequency, it lowers heart rate and reduces stress while letting off serotonin in our body, which is in charge of optimism, happiness, and satisfaction.Dr. Masaru Emoto, a Japanese water researcher, did one of the most influential studies on the subject. He found that when water was exposed to 528 Hz music, it formed beautiful, regular crystals (晶体). Otherwise, it formed irregular crystals.Dr. Emo to wrote, “528 Hz sound, or the Love Frequency is said to relax the mind and body deeply and repair DNA, helping humans become healthy. It is a true symbol of the spread of love.” Therefore, if we tune ourselves to 528 Hz frequency, we can make the most of its therapeutic benefits and overcome anxiety.8. What does the underlined word “therapeutic” mean in Paragraph 2?A．Tiring. B．Exciting. C．Annoying. D．Relaxing.9. What can the 528 Hz do?A．Slow heart rate. B．Create bad moods.C．Increase inner stress. D．Lower blood pressure.10. What can we learn about Dr. Emoto’s water study?A．528Hz spread love to the researchers. B．528Hz helped water form regularcrystals.C．528Hz bothered researchers’ peaceful mind. D．528Hz repaired the irregular form of water.11. What’s the writer’s attitude towards the application of 528 Hz?A．Negative. B．Uninterested. C．Unclear. D．Optimistic.Weeds and pests are “garden heroes” according to the Royal Horticultural Society.The RHS is now encouraging gardeners to welcome weeds instead of considering them enemies. The rebranding(重塑形象)comes just in time for this year’s Chelsea Flower Show, held by the RHS. In the show 4 out of 12 of the gardens will include “weed heroes” as an important part, according to Sheila Das, the RHS Wisley garden manager.“If you’ve got a weed”, says Das, “it’s telling you what’s going on underground. Your weed is your adviser. It’s your friend. So don’t treat weeds as troubles, something growing where they shouldn’t. They are actually plants in the right place”.Nettles(荨麻草)let a gardener know that the soil is rich in nitrogen, and fat hen, a weed often considered “troublesome”, is a sign that an area is low in nutrients.Until last year, the RHS pub lished a yearly “pest” list, including snails and slugs. But this year, to be more “biodiversity(生物多样性)positive”, they’ve published a list of the most beneficial wildlife into our garden, and both snails and slugs are making a comeback.Sheila Das noted our gardens would be a duller place without those unpopular ones. Apart from food for hedgehogs, frogs and birds, slugs and snails are excellent for recycling dead plant and animal waste, helping to keep soil healthy.These are just the first steps towards the RHS’s goal towards better biodiversity. Sheila Das said, “The RHS has realized the role of gardens in supporting biodiversity and it will no longer call any garden wildlife as ‘pests’. Instead, there will be greater consideration of the role that weeds, slugs, and snails play in a balanced garden eco-system together with more popular wildlife such as birds, hedgehogs and frogs. ”12. Why does the rebranding come in time for the show?A．The weeds’ gardens will win.B．The weed heroes will be known.C．It will be popular worldwide. D．It will be an excellent competition.13. What is Paragraph 3 used for?A．Giving examples. B．Introducing a topic.C．Describing a scene. D．Making comparison14. What are gardens like according to Sheila Das?A．They support a habitat for rich biodiversity.B．They play a great part in wildlife protection.C．They contain only popular weeds and insects.D．They keep a balance between weeds and pests.15. What is the best title of the text?A．Pests are good advisers. B．Weeds make a comeback.C．Weeds and pests are our friends. D．Heroes will win the flower show.Some students learn more quickly and easily than others. By studying efficiently (高效) every day they can score even higher than the others who spend more time. 16Make a study plan and stay organizedA well-organised study plan helps you to be clear with what you need and when you need. Create a study timetable and stick to it to achieve your goal. 17 It can also help put your mind at ease. Prepare your own study notesTaking notes is one of the most widespread study skills. Preparing the notes helps to summarise the key information in your own words, so that you can easily remember the ideas. 18 So try to keep your notes short, to the point, well-organized and easily readable.19Find a couple of study partners who you work well with and are encouraged to achieve good grades. Group studying helps you to understand the information more deeply. It not only helps you to learn, but also makes studying more enjoyable.Recall your learning20 This is the time when you can realize what topics are in your mind and what others have swept off the mind. Thus, at the end of the rest period, the information you were reading will be much clearer than it was to begin with.Miss Patty is a force of nature.
