Kurth Reis f San Francisc, Califrnia, has been thrugh many hard times in his life. In 2018, Reis had a serius mtrcycle accident and spent time in a hspital. The accident affected him deeply, bdy and spirit. He had several medical peratins. Reis said he felt like he was
“rebrn” each time he wke after an peratin. Fllwing 88 days in the hspital, Reis was
released and felt ready t change his ways.
Lately, he says he just wants t cheer peple up by making bubbles. Yu can watch him perfrm his bubble art fr hurs at a time arund the city’s streets and in its parks. Smetimes he puts ut a glass cntainer called a tip jar. Peple wh watch his shw can drp mney int it if they want t.
If the weather is gd fr bubbles, Reis makes a special mixture that can make bubbles the
size f a small car. Humidity, r the amunt f water in the air, is gd fr bubbles. S, he des nt perfrm n very dry days. T make his large bubble, he puts a small rpe hanging frm tw lng sticks int the bubble mixture. As he remves it, he pens his arms wide and the bubbles begin t frm. Once enugh air is inside the bubble, he mves his arms back tgether t set the bubble free. Sme peple feel it lks like a bubble “ballet”.
While Reis may seem like a bubble-making expert, he nly gt started in April 2020. Reis
can supprt himself with dnatins frm the audiences. But mney is nt what stirs him t
make bubbles. He feels his art is useful in mre imprtant ways. Nt lng ag, a wman tld Reis after a perfrmance that his bubbles had lifted her spirit when her dad died.
Reis can see smiles rise frm under the face cvers wrn by thse watching him perfrm.
Children cheer and clap their hands. Reis said such reactins make him feel like an essential wrker whse jb is t spread jy.
“I’m just trying t put a smile n smebdy’s face by ding sme bubbles,” said Reis.

When preparing fruit and vegetables, many peple will peel (削皮) them. But ften, it’s nt
necessary.
Fruit and vegetables are rich surces f nutritin like vitamins. Nt cnsuming enugh f these nutrient-rich fds is linked t an increased risk f diseases. Eating 400g f fruit and
vegetables a day, as the WHO recmmends, is difficult t achieve fr many peple. S culd
cnsuming fruit and vegetable peels help with this issue by adding imprtant nutrients t peple’s diets?
They can certainly cntribute. Fr example, nutritinally imprtant amunts f vitamins and
minerals are fund in the peels f seven rt vegetables: beetrt, field mustard, wild carrt, sweet ptat, radish, ginger and white ptat. And the US Department f Agriculture shws that unpeeled apples cntain 15% mre vitamin C, 267% mre vitamin K, 20% mre calcium(钙) and 85% mre fibre than peeled apples.
Anther reasn is the effect n the envirnment. Accrding t the UN’s Fd and Agriculture Organizatin, uneaten fd, including peels, generates 8%-10% f the wrld’s greenhuse gas emissins(排放). New Zealand alne reprts an annual wastage f 13,658 tnnes f vegetable peels and 986 tnnes f fruit peels.
Given the nutrient cntent f peels and its cntributin t fd waste, why d peple peel fruit and vegetables at all? Sme must be peeled as the uter parts dn’t taste nice, are hard t clean r cause harm. Als, peeling may be a necessary part f the recipe, fr example, when making mashed ptat. But many peels, such as carrt and kiwifruit, are suitable t be eaten, yet peple habitually peel them anyway. Sme peple peel fruit and vegetables because they are cncerned abut pesticides (杀虫剂) n the surface.
If yu want t find ut mre abut fruit and vegetable peels and what t d with it, there is
lts f advice nline including help n hw t deal with peels. With a little investigatin and creativity, yu can help t reduce waste and increase yur fruit and vegetables intake.
Where is the text mst prbably taken frm?
A. A cking guidebk. B. A life magazine.
C. A pster abut envirnment. D. An ad abut a health website.
Hw can eating fruit and vegetable peels benefit peple’s health?
A. Nt eating the peels will lead t higher risks f sme diseases.
Sme significant vitamins and minerals are nly fund in peels.
Eating peels can increase peple’s intake f imprtant nutrients.
Peels have mre nutrients than fruit and vegetables’ inner parts.
What is the authr’s purpse in mentining New Zealand?
A. T highlight the serius fd prblem in the cuntry.
.T draw ur attentin t greenhuse gas emissins.B.
T call n New Zealanders nt t thrw away peels.
T shw peels’ negative impact n the envirnment.
Why d s many peple peel carrts?
Because sme recipes tell them t d s.
Because the uter parts are hard t clean.
Because there exists t much pesticides.
Because they’re used t peeling vegetables.

It’s a late night in the Metr area f Phenix, Arizna. Under the streetlights, a car can be seen slwly appraching and parking. A green and blue ‘W’ glws (发光) frm the windscreen, giving ff just enugh light t see inside—shwing a cmpletely empty driver seat. When the persn waiting fr it pens the dr t climb inside, a vice greets him. “Gd evening, this car is yurs,” it says. This is a Waym One rbtaxi, rdered just 10 minutes ag using an app.
The prmise f driverless technlgy has lng been inviting. It has the ptential t imprve
ur experience f cmmuting (通勤) and lng jurneys and take peple ut f high-risk wrking
envirnments. It’s key t helping us build the cities f the future, lwering carbn emissins.
And it culd make traveling safer. “We want safer rads and less accidents. Autmatin (自动化) culd prvide that, ” says Camilla Fwler, head f autmated transprt fr the UK’s Transprt Research Labratry (TRL).
But in rder fr driverless technlgy t becme mainstream, much still needs t change. “Driverless vehicles shuld be a very calm way f getting frm A t B. But nt every
human driver arund it will be driving in that way,” says David Hynd, frm TRL. “It’s gt t be
able t deal with human drivers speeding, fr instance, r breaking the rules f the rad.”
And that’s nt the nly challenge. There’s regulatin, rethinking the highway cde, public perceptin, imprving the infrastructure (基础设施) f ur streets, twns, cities, and the big
questin f ultimate respnsibility fr rad accidents. “The whle insurance industry is lking
int hw they’re ging t deal with that change frm a persn being respnsible and in charge t the vehicle ding that,” says Richard Jinks, vice president f cmmercial at Oxfrdshire-based
driverless vehicle sftware cmpany Oxbtica, which has been testing its technlgy in cars and
delivery vehicles at several lcatins acrss the UK and Eurpe.
The ultimate visin (终极愿景) experts are wrking twards is f cmpletely driverless
vehicles, nt nly fr persnal use but als fr industry and wider transprt netwrks, that can be used anywhere and everywhere arund the wrld.常德市一中2023年下学期高二年级入学考试英语试卷 第 3 页 共 5 页{#{QQABAYSQggAABIAARhCUQGiCkOQkAECCAgOBAAIsAABSAFABAA=}#}
But with all these challenges in place, what exactly des the next 10 years have in stre fr autnmus vehicles?

A. It drives very slwly. B. It is autmatic and drives itself.
C. It can sense its driver’s feelings. D. There is enugh light t see inside.
What des paragraph 2 mainly tell us abut driverless vehicles?
A. Their main dangers. B. Their special design.
C. Their wide ppularity. D. Their ptential advantages.
With what might Hynd and Jinks bth agree abut driverless technlgy?
It isn’t ready fr wide applicatin.
It will make driving a safe experience.
It is develping as smthly as planned.
It will increase prfits in the insurance industry.
Hw des the authr feel abut the future f driverless vehicles?

Fd plays an imprtant rle in ur lives. We can learn a lt abut a particular culture by explring fd. In fact, it may be difficult t fully define a culture withut a nd t their cuisine. Here’s why fd is the best way t understand a culture.
36 It desn’t matter where yu’re frm — yu have t eat. And yur scietal
culture mst likely evlves(进化) frm the universal need t eat. Fd preservatin (保存)
techniques are unique t climates and lifestyle. Ever wnder why the prcess t preserve meat is
s different arund the wrld? 37 In Mrcc, Khlea is a dish cmpsed f dried beef
and then packed in animal fat. When preserved crrectly, it’s still gd fr tw years when
stred at rm temperature. That makes a lt f sense in Mrcc, where the cuntry histrically has desert landscape, and extremely warm, dry temperatures.
38 Sme peple have cuisines that are entirely based n meat, and thers are
almst entirely plant based. These cuisines tk shape in the lng curse f histry. Fr example, India’s cuisine is extremely varied frm regin t regin, with meat and wheat dishes in the nrth, vegetarian diets in the suth.
Smetimes, a certain ingredient f ne dish can reveal cultural secrets. 39 And
perhaps ne f the mst interesting results frm the mix f tw cuisines is Chicken Tikka Masala. It seems t be an Indian Mughali dish, but was actually invented by the British!
Fd turism — it’s a whle new way t travel. Fd turists wn’t just fcus n having a
glass f beer at Oktberfest (德国十月啤酒节). 40 They may even learn hw t make
their wn fresh beer. And they have the chance t learn lcal skills that can send insight(洞悉)
int a whle ther aspect f a particular regin’s culture.
Meat is mre difficult t preserve than plants.
Lcal cuisines shw histrical eating patterns.
It has smething t d with lcal resurces, needs and climates.
Fd is the mst imprtant necessity f the peple.
Sme cuisines change accrdingly during different times f the year.
Black pepper riginates in Asia but becmes a key part f Eurpean cuisine.
Mrever, they will be interested in learning the German beer making prcess.

The park bench was deserted as I sat dwn t read beneath a willw tree. It must be as sick,

As I sat n the bench, things that happened recently began t flash thrugh. Days seemed mnths t me recently. N czy hme t stay. N happy memries abut my life. N cnsiderate family members t talk t. Even the bk I was reading was n fun. Nt cntent with life, I had a gd reasn t frwn, fr the wrld was intended t drag me dwn.
And if that were nt enugh t ruin my day, a yung by ut f breath apprached me, all tired frm play. He std right in frnt f me with his head tilted (倾斜) dwn and said with great excitement,“Lk what I fund!" In his hand was a flwer. What a pitiful sight, its petals (花瓣) were all wrn- nt enugh rain, r t little light. He must have picked the flwer frm smewhere shady and sunless, just like where I was staying these days. I culdn't help being
self-pitying. Wanting him t take his dead flwer away and g ff t play, I faked a smile and
then lked away.“Why culdn't everyne just leave me be!”I thught t myself, upset and
glmy.
But instead f leaving, he sat next t me and placed the flwer t his nse and declared ludly with certainty，“It sure smells pretty and it must be beautiful, t. That's why I picked it;
here, it is fr yu." The “weed” befre me was dying r dead, nt vibrant with clrs, range,
yellw r red-anyne having eyes can see that clearly! But I knew I must take it, r he might
never leave. S I reached fr the flwer, and replied, “Just what I need.”Strangely, instead f
placing the flwer in my hand, he held it in mid-air withut any reasn r plan.
