Mr. Gu is a teacher frm Xi’an. He asked his students t hand in their hmewrk thrugh a QR cde(二维码). “We spent an hur r tw in class learning hw t generate (产生) the cdes, and in the end everything gets easier” said Ga. “When students finish the hmewrk, they keep it n WeChat. Then, each student makes his wn QR cde and gives it t me. S I can check their wrk everywhere using my cmputer r telephne.”
The QR cdes can be sent t Mr. Gu by email, QQ and WeChat. When Gu scans(扫描)his students’ QR cdes, their hmewrk appears n his phne. He finds that their hmewrk becmes mre creative, with many pictures, music and even vides.
Gu’s students like the new way and think it is interesting. “We are living in the infrmatin age. Many students like t wrk with cmputers, which makes learning mre fun,” said Tingting, a student f Gu’s.
“The paper is nt easy t keep, but the cde is easy t keep and share,” Gu said. “It is wrth trying t use new technlgy in educatin. Educatin itself is a kind f creatin. I dn’t want my students t fall behind the times.”

It is late autumn—millins f gardeners acrss the nrthern hemisphere, pulled n their thickest sweaters, spent hurs clearing large piles f leaves and packed them int plastic bags at the end f driveways.
In the US alne, nearly 10 millin tnnes f garden waste g t landfill every year. That is a large amunt f effrt, nt just frm an envirnmental viewpint but frm that f ur aching backs, t. S where des this advice cme frm? Well, it largely cmes frm the belief that thick fallen leaves can make plants under them unable t breathe, especially shrter grass. They shut dwn imprtant phtsynthesis (光合作用) and get in the way f the grwth f the shrter grass. Hwever, this received wisdm has recently been questined by researchers at Wiscnsin University.
The key finding f their new research was that althugh clearing fallen leaves is ne f the mst cmmn gardening practices, it makes very little sense. In natural ecsystems, fallen leaves help return nutrients necessary fr healthy plant grwth t the sil, which greatly imprves sil cnditin. Remving leaves year after year breaks this eclgical (生态的) balance. Letting sme leaves stick arund t cver yur garden is a great way t help yur grass and the lcal ecsystem.
They further explained that if up t 50percent f yur grass lawn (草坪) is cvered by fallen leaves, yu might as well g back indrs and put yur feet up. The advantages f this light leaf cverage far utweigh the disadvantages—the leaves will quickly break dwn and help next year’s lawn grw far better than if yu had cleared them. Only at ver 50 percent cverage d the Wiscnsin researchers recmmend clearing.
S why nt cnsider leaving the leaves? Save time, carbn and effrt, and in exchange get a healthier lawn frm this garden waste—that seems like a pretty gd deal. And hw many plastic bags culd be saved by simply nt binning fallen leaves every year? In the US alne, abut 700 millin.
28．What des the authr describe in paragraph 1?
A．An amazing autumn game.B．A cmmn sight in gardens.
C．A ht attractin in the nrth.D．An extreme weather event.
29．What is the received wisdm?
A．Fallen leaves need nt be clearedB．Fallen leaves prtect shrter grass.
C．Fallen leaves blck phtsynthesis. D．Fallen leaves are hard t break dwn.
30．The new research finds clearing fallen leaves makes little sense, because ________.
A．it ruins city imageB．it breaks gardening rules
C．it affects lcal ecnmyD．it causes eclgical damage
31．What’s the authr’s attitude t Wiscnsin University’s study?
A．Dubtful.B．Psitive.C．Unclear.D．Wrried.

“In Denmark, peple cnsume ptates prepared in many different ways. In ur study, we culd distinguish between the different preparatin methds. When we separated biled ptates frm mashed ptates(土豆泥), fries r crisps, biled ptates were n lnger assciated with a higher risk f diabetes: They had a zer effect,” said Pkharel.
“In ur study, peple wh ate the mst ptates als cnsumed mre butter, red meat and sft drinks-fds knwn t increase yur risk f Type 2 diabetes,” said Pkharel. “We shuld separate ptates frm ther vegetables in regard t messaging abut disease preventin but replacing refined grains such as white rice and pasta(意大利面食)with ptates can imprve yur diet quality because f fibre and ther nutrients fund in ptates.”
32．What des the underlined wrd “detrimental” in paragraph 1 mean?
A．Magical.B．Prtective.C．Fantastic.D．Negative.
33．What may cntribute t the bad reputatin f ptates accrding t ECU’s research?
A．The effects they have caused.B．The ways they are cnsumed.
C．The places where they are planted.D．The results previus studies have shwn.
34．Which f the fllwing have little effect n Type 2 diabetes?
