6.Even in the fanciest pizza restaurant,you will never feel weird if you ask for a box to take your leftovers (剩饭)home.In Italy,that will soon apply everywhere,with a new law that encourages restaurants to give people doggy bags,although in Italy it's called a"family bag."
The new law is designed to reduce food waste and open doors to companies wishing to donate wasted food.Family bags were made to avoid embarrassment at asking for leftovers,turning it from begging into good behavior.
In the U.S.,taking uneaten food home is normal.In the U.K.it is fairly common.To the south,though,this practice is rare.In Spain and Italy,people might take the bones from their meat and give them to their dogs,but culturally,it's not the done thing.Also,there aren't often many leftovers,as dishes are sized according to how much people will actually eat and are rarely too big to finish unless you over-order.
In France,the laws are tougher.Last year,the French began to forbid supermarkets to throw away food.They must either give it away to charity,or make it available to be used as animal feed and compost(堆肥),If they fail to follow the law,they will be fined.
Perhaps Italy's new law is right.Food waste is now attracting international attention,but the only way to really stop it lies in weather individuals are willing to change their ways.If it becomes socially unacceptable to waste food,or to serve a huge portion in restaurants,then we have a chance.

28.What does the underlined word"weird"in paragraph 1 probably mean?B
A.Difficult.
B.Strange   
 C.Relaxed.
D.Disappointed.
29.Why do the Spanish seldom take leftovers home from restaurants?C
A.They don't bother to do it.
B.It is their custom to eat food up.
C.It is not acceptable in their culture.
D.They usually order small portions.
30.According to the author,how can we reduce food waste?D
A.By introducing stricter laws.
B.By donating food to the needy.
C.By restaurants only serving small portions.
D.By everyone taking action and saying no to it.
31.What's the text mainly about?B
A.Way of reducing food waste.
B.Italy's plans to use family bags.
C.How doggy bags come into being.
D.The increasingly serious food waste.

分析 意大利出台 一项新的法律在政策,鼓励顾客将食物打包,从而引发了对食物浪费的讨论.

解答 BCD B
28.B 猜测词意题.根据In Italy,that will soon apply everywhere,with a new law that encourages restaurants to give people doggy bags,可知,在意大利,新的法律鼓励餐馆给顾客提供袋子,所以在披萨店如果你要袋子打包不是一件很奇怪的事情.
29.C 细节题.根据but culturally,it's not the done thing从文化上来说,这不是他们 应该做的事情,故选C.
30.D 细节题.通过最后一段Food waste is now attracting international attention,but the only way to really stop it lies in weather individuals are willing to change their ways食物的浪费现在吸引了国际的关注,唯一的方法在于个人是否 愿意改变方式,故选D.
31.B 主旨大意题.根据第一段内容可知,In Italy,that will soon apply everywhere,with a new law that encourages restaurants…意大利出台 一项新的法律政策,即鼓励餐馆给顾客提供打包袋,这一做法引发了大家对于食物浪费这一现象的关注,故选B.

点评 本文是人生感悟类阅读理解.这类题材是高考常考的内容,它注重考查考生整体理解文章大意的能力,在做题时要结合题干以及上下文做出正确的选择.

17.House-Sitting
House-sitting is the practice whereby a landlord (or"homeowner"),leaving their house for a period of time,entrusts (委托) it to one or more"house-sitters".It means that if owners of the house are going away,they want someone to come into their house and look after the house and maybe pets while they are away.
In Australia,many people travel.After people retire,they might buy a van(房车)and travel all over the country.(36)A
So if someone wants to travel or go away for some reason,they might want someone in their house to care for it and keep the gardens tidy.House-sitters might have to care for pets.Also,quite a few people have swimming pools in their back yards and they need cleaning.(37)BI feel it is a great way of seeing the country,because you go and stay in a new city,get to meet new people,and have time to go sightseeing in a new area.
(38)DThere are websites where you find the advertisements by people who want to travel,and by replying to the advertisement,you can make arrangements to go and look after their houses.
There are some requirements to be a house-sitter.You must be a trusted person,so that the house owner knows you will not steal anything.You must be able to go when the house owner wants you to go,so you need lots of free time.(39)F You need to be good with pets,able to care for cats and dogs,or other pets they may have.
Some house-sitting jobs are just for a few days or a couple of weeks while the house owner has a short holiday.Sometimes it is for much longer.We have had a house-sitting job for six months,while the home owner travelled to Europe.
(40)CThen you can travel to many different countries and stay there.One of the important things to get is references from the home owners for whom you have done house-sitting.A reference is a written letter to say that you are trustworthy and have looked after their house well.You can show these letters to prospective house owners and they know you will do a good job.

A.Thousands of people do this all the time.
B.I have done house-sitting many times.
C.It is also possible to do house-sitting in other countries.
D.Generally you have many opportunities to get a house-sitting job.
E.You must take a little care over what your description says about you.
F.You must have a good car,so you can travel to different parts of the country.
G.This is an international house-sitting service for all city and country areas.

1.Autonomous (自动的) cars,self-driving cars,robotic cars,or driverless cars-whatever you call them-are coming to a showroom(陈列室) near you.
It might take a couple of years,but few people at the Geneva Motor Show would disagree that one day science fantasy (幻想) will become reality.
However,while Google,BMW,Ford and IBM have been working on the technology (技术),less attention has been given to what it means for passengers.The Swiss company,Rinspeed,has tried to show the future with its concept car (概念车),Xchange.
"I wanted to put the passenger at the centre of what is possible,not the autonomous driving technology,"says Rinspeed's founder Frank Rinderknecht."Travelling in a driverless car will no longer require me to stare at the road,but will let me spend my time in a more meaningful way.You can work,sleep,read,or do whatever activities you might do on a train or a plane.
"But driverless cars will not mean the death of driving",Mr Rinderknecht says.There will be times when a driver will want to drive."Most driving is boring because you are just driving miles and miles.If I go on the motorway from London to Birmingham,it's not very joyful.However,if I go over a mountain road,I want to drive myself and I don't want the machine to do it."
The safety matter will be a big challenge for companies of autonomous cars.
Mr Rinderknecht is already thinking beyond this concept car."There will come a time when we will be travelling in a container,with no airbags or seatbelts because the chances of an accident will be so small."But the real challenge may not be technological,but emotional.Convincing people to travel in a driverless car will be difficult.
"We know that nine out of ten plane crashes are due to pilot's error.But if you go to Heathrow Airport and you are required to make a choice between planes with two pilots or with no pilot,I know which one you will trust.It may require a generation before people accept it,but it will happen",he says.
32.When developing its Xchange concept car,Rinspeed has focused onC.
A.ensuring the cars'safety      
B.advancing car-making skills
C.improving passengers'riding experience
D.developing autonomous driving technology
33.According to Mr Rinderknecht,what will be the real challenge for driverless cars?B
A.Ensuring their complete safety.
B.Persuading people to accept them.
C.Making them affordable to the public.
D.Setting out relative laws and rules.
34.According to Mr Rinderknecht,in the futureA.
A.driverless cars will be safer   
 B.driverless cars will help save more gas
C.driverless cars will be environmentally friendly
D.driving driverless cars will become interesting
35.What's Mr Rinderknecht's attitude towards the future of driverless cars?D
A.Doubtful.
B.Worried.
C.Uncertain.
D.Confident.

11.Since 1984,Philadelphia has been cleaning up its act.One by one,graffiticovered walls are being changed into outdoor art.So far,more than 1,800murals (壁画) have been painted.Philadelphia now has more murals than any other American city.
The walls that were once ugly with graffiti (涂鸦) are now covered with beautiful pictures of historical heroes and modern art,thanks to the Mural Arts Program (MAP).Its work makes schools and public places attractive,and its citizens very proud.The program began as part of Philadelphia's AntiGraffiti Network.Jane Golden is the MAP's artistic director."When people ask me what our program is about,"she says,"I answer them with one word:hope".Each year,the MAP offers youth art programs and workshops.Some onetime graffiti writers even help paint MAP murals.
The MAP's work,says Golden,is all about developing a sense of community (社区).When a neighborhood requests a mural,the MAP works with the people there to develop a message.Some messages have been"Safe Streets","Love and Care",and"Peace Walk".
The MAP receives up to 50requests for murals each week.Last year,the workers painted 140murals.
"The making of a mural enters people's collective memory as an extraordinary,pleasant moment in neighborhood history."says Golden,who began as a muralist in Los Angeles.

C.By seeking advice from the city government.

9.How many times have parents had to argue with their young son or daughter about getting their face out of their phone and focusing on the world around them?It's completely normal for parents of growing children to be concerned about their child's safety,but is their addiction to social media really harming them?
Social media was created to connect people with others online and has recently been added to smartphones,making it far more accessible than it originally was.This new way to easily be able to use social media has encouraged children and teens to begin to use sites such as Facebook,Twitter,and Insta gram frequently.Maturing teens and children are usually very timid(胆怯)when it comes to socializing with their families,which they sometimes view as"annoying".So,what do these kids use as a solution or an"escape"?The answer is simple.social media.
However,when they use social media for a large amount of time,parents tend to show concern for their child and blame social media for demanding their attention.
The word,"social",was entered into the term,social media,for a reason.Parents of growing teens don't seem to understand that.When they see their child using Twitter or Instagram they think that they are using it to get away from real world responsibilities.The truth,however,is that they are using it to connect with their close friends,make new friends,and receive information about what is currently happening in the modern world.
Children and teens are wrongly accused for using social media only for entertainment purposes and for huge amounts of time.Sure everyone who uses social media enjoys contacting their friends and viewing entertaining things,but how come children receive all of the blame for abusing it?Parents should really think about how social media can help children and teens learn and grow in the real world rather than it just being another distraction(分心事).
Social media as a whole has both positive and negative aspects,but after all of the feedback from pre-teens,teens,and parents is put together,it shows that media is actually helping the newer generations in their lives.
28.What causes the parents to be worried about their children?B
A.Using smartphones.     
B.Using too much social media.
C.Playing games online.      
D.Failing to socialize with families.
29.When social media is added to smartphones,it makesB.
A.smartphones operate faster          
B.it more convenient to use
C.children crazy about smartphones        
D.adults feel frequently disturbed
30.According to the fourth paragraph,children use social media toC.
A.kill time                           
B.entertain themselves
C.keep themselves informed            
D.connect with their parents
31.What's the writer's attitude towards children using social media?A
A.Supportive.   
B.Doubtful.   
C.Indifferent. 
D.Disapproving.
