winter.

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.
C
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
