In 2011，during
his freshman year at the University of Maryland,
Simon was struck
by how much food was thrown
away in the college cafeteria. “ I was shocked to
see
someone buy a full sandwich， eat half of
it， and throw the other half out，”
said Simon.
“It was not the values I grew up with. ”To him,
discarded food was
a “natural goldmine” he
could source to do good.
Four years later,
Simon cofounded Imperfect Produce, a subscription-
based
home-delivery service for
discounted “ugly” fruits and vegetables that are
perfectly good on the inside, but otherwise
rejected from the food supply chain for
their
looks.
“Up to 20% of the fruits and vegetables
grown on farms in America are thrown
away
because the produce doesn’t meet grocery stores’
standards,” said Simon.
“It’s often for
discoloration, scarring on the surface caused by
the fruit rubbing
against a tree limb or an
atypical shape，”he said. “Sometimes it’s the
size. ”Simon, 29，and Chesler，27，decided to
source this “ugly” produce directly
from farms
and deliver it to customers for about 30% less
than conventional grocery
store prices.
“The reason why we created Imperfect Produce
as a direct-to-consumer business
is because
grocery stores didn’t want to partner with
us，”said Simon. “So we
became our own store.
”The San Francisco-based service launched in
August 2015.
Today, Imperfect Produce has more
than 200,000 subscribers in 22 cities. The company
sources its produce from 250 growers
nationwide, and slightly more than half of it
is organic. To date， Simon said the service
has helped recover 40 million pounds
of food
from going to waste.
Simon declined to
disclose income but said this year’s sales are
expected to
double last year’s. The business
is not yet profitable, but he hopes to expand the
service to 40 cities by the end of 2019 and
eventually take the company public at
some
point.
does the underlined word “discarded”
in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Wasted. B.
Rejected. C. Disliked. D. Eaten.
are many
fruits and vegetables wasted?
A. They are not
tasty. B. They are not nutritious.
C. They are
poorly looking. D. They are not good inside.
made Simon create Imperfect Produce as a direct-
to-consumer business?
A. High price offered by
him.
B. The wish to set up his own business.
C. His desire to offer service to others.
D. Grocery stores’ unwillingness to
cooperate with him.
27 .What can be inferred
about Simon?
A. He wants to help the poor.
B. He thinks a lot about the wasted food.
C. He has expanded his service to 40 cities.
D. He expects to make profits from his
business.

North America’s birds are
disappearing from the skies at a rate that’s
shocking
even to ornithologists (鸟 类 学
家).Since the 1970s, the continent has lost 3
billion birds, nearly 30% of the total, and
even common birds such as sparrows and
blackbirds are in decline, U. S. and Canadian
researchers report this week online
in
Science. The findings raise fears that some
familiar species could go the way
of the
passenger pigeon, a species once so abundant that
its extinction in the early
1900s seemed
unthinkable.
The results, ever done to North
American birds， point to ecosystems in disorder
because of habitat loss and other factors,
researchers say. Yet ecologist Paul
Ehrlich at
Stanford University, California sees some hope in
this new bad news ：
“ It might encourage
needed action in view of the public interest in
our feathered
friends. ”
In past decades,
Ehrlich and others have recorded the decline of
particular bird
groups, including migratory
songbirds. All together, they studied 529 bird
species,about three-quarters of all species in
North America, accounting
for more than 90% of
the entire bird population. Rosenberg and his
colleagues report Grassland birds have
declined by 53% since 1970—a loss of 700
million adults in the 31 species studied.
Habitat loss may be to blame.
The familiar
birds that flock by the thousands in suburbs were
not exempt(例
外）.“There’s a decline of the
numbers of common birds,” Rosenberg says. His team
determined that 19 common species have each
lost more than 50 million birds since
1970.
Twelve groups, including sparrows, warblers,
finches, and blackbirds, were
particularly
hard hit. Even introduced species that have
increased in North America，
such as
starlings and house sparrows, are losing ground.
is happening to North America’s birds?
A. Most of them are dying out.
B. They are
disappearing quickly.
C. Some of them are
decreasing.
D. They are raising fears to
humans
does Paul Ehrlich mean?
A. The bad
news will bring interest to the birds.
B. The
bad news might alarm people to take action.
C.
North America’s birds need our help.
D. North
America’s birds suffered great loss.
is the
last paragraph mainly about?
A. Some common
birds are also decreasing.
B. Some birds die
from losing their habitat.
C. The research
team found some unusual things.
D. The
research team studied birds in North America.
which section of a website may this text appear?
A. Environment. B. Health.
C.
Education. D. Science.
Yellow is usually
the color of happy, joyful emotions. But according
to a new
study, not all people associate the
sunshine shade with good atmosphere.
To find
out what factors might play a role, researchers
tested a new hypothesis (假
设）：What if people’s
physical surroundings affect their feelings about
certain
colors? For instance, if someone lived
in cold and rainy Finland, would they feel
differently about the color yellow from
someone who lived near the Sahara Desert?
The
researchers looked at color-emotion data from an
ongoing international survey
of 6,625 people
in 55 countries. The survey asks participants to
rate 12 colors on
how closely they are
associated with feelings including joy, pride,
fear and shame.
The team looked only at the
data for yellow, and analyzed how different
factors—including hours of sunshine， hours of
daylight， and amount of
rainfall—lined
up with the emotions people reported for the
color. The two best
predictors of how people
felt about yellow were the annual amount of
rainfall ，
and how far they lived from the
equator (赤道），the team reports this month in the
Journal of Environmental Psychology.
The
farther someone lived from the equator， the more
likely they were to
appreciate some bright
colors: In Egypt, the likelihood of yellow being
associated
with joy was just 5.7% , whereas in
rather cold Finland it was 87. 7%.In the United
States, with its moderate climate and
amber(黄褐色） waves of grain, people’s
yellow-joy
association levels were between 60% and 70% .The
team also checked whether
associations changed
with the season— whether ，for example， people in
a certain
country liked yellow more in the
winter than they did in the summer. The
researchers
found that opinions about color
remained fairly constant year-round—even when the
weather changed, the data on yellow-joy
associations were as good as gold.
did the
researchers survey to test the hypothesis?
A.
People in Finland.
B. Someone living near the
Sahara Desert.
C. Travelers in the United
States.
D. Many people from different
countries
may affect the emotions associated
with yellow most?
A. Hours of sunshine. C.
Amount of rainfall.
B. Hours of daylight. D.
Seasons in a year
34. are more likely to
appreciate bright colors?
A. People living in
warm areas.
B. People growing yellow grains.
C. People growing up in Egypt.
D. People
living far from the equator
is the text
mainly about?
A. Yellow is the color of
happiness and joy.
B. Researchers did a survey
on the color yellow.
C. A study shows the
connection between emotion and yellow can vary.
D. Different people have different
emotions to the color yellow.

You probably spend a lot of time preparing for
job interviews. But it’s not
just about being
ready with answers to the interviewer’s questions.
36 You should
come prepared with insightful
questions to learn more about the role and to make
sure the company is a good fit.
37
Dompanise are looking woo (争取)candidates in
this job market and want to put
their best
foot forward—but it’s important that you go into
the conversation
knowing what you are looking
for from an employer. Asking what a typical day
looks
like can give you a helpful sense of the
workplace balance and responsibilities.
Ask
about career growth and development
But be
careful with how you ask this question. You don’t
want to come off as
if you are expecting a
promotion before even starting the job. Asking
about employee
support and development
programs can also show how much an employer
invests (投
资)in employee development.
Ask
how to be successful
39，so be sure to ask
about it. To help get a sense of what employers
will be
looking for, try asking something
like： “What does success look like for someone
in this role?” or “How will my performance be
evaluated? ”
Ask autonomous questions
While most interviewers will finish the
meeting asking if you have any questions，
you
don’t have to wait for that moment. 40，ask a
question to get more details.
That not only
shows you are listening, but also
engaged and
want to learn more.
A. Ask what it’s like to
work there
B. The process is a two-way street
C. If you have some important questions
D. We all want to make a living by
working hard
the interviewer says something
interesting or vague
F. Knowing how your
performance is going to be measured is important
G. We all want to work at a place where we
have the opportunity to grow professionally
