B
If you bought some candy months ago but never ate it, how can you tell whether it is still safe to eat? The easiest way is to check the “use-by date” printed on the wrapper. If that date has already passed, you’re likely to throw the candy away.
But is that really necessary? According to a new report from the US Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), tons of food is wasted each year, largely because people don’t fully understand what expiration (截止日期) dates, or “use-by dates”, actually mean.
Food dating was introduced in the 1970s because consumers wanted more information about the things that they were eating. When they first showed up, use-by dates were only supposed to indicate freshness because producers wanted their products to be tasted in their best conditions.
But the truth is that these dates aren’t related to the risk of food poisoning or food borne illness, according to Time News. However, most customers misinterpreted use-by dates and related them to the safety of the food, and they still largely do now. Eggs, for example, can still be eaten three to five weeks after purchase even though the use-by date is much earlier. When their use-by dates pass, strawberry flavored drinks may lose their red color and biscuits may lose their crunch (松脆), but they are not harmful.
“It’s a confusing subject, the difference between food quality and food safety,” said Jena Roberts, vice president of National Food Lab, a US food testing company. “Even in the food industry I have colleagues who get confused.”
This is why scientists are calling for a standard explanation to be printed following the use-by dates. “We want this to be clearly communicated so consumers are not misunderstanding the data and contributing to a lot of waste,” said Dana Gunders, a staff scientist with the NRDC.
But this won’t be a mistake that is easy to correct since people have believed it for so long. Another problem is that the quality levels of different foods change differently—some are still safe to eat long after their use-by date while others are not.
As a result, food industry officials are now thinking of changing the use-by date to a date indicating when food is most likely to go bad.
4. The use-by date was first intended to ________.
A. show the safety of food B. give a warning of food poisoning
C. tell the freshness of food. D. indicate the relation between food and illness
5. The underlined word “misinterpreted" in Paragraph 4 probably means ________.
A. made guesses about B. formed a wrong idea about
C. made wrong use of D. took no notice of
6. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. Most customers understand what use-by dates mean.
B. “Use-by dates” have existed for more than 60 years.
C. Biscuits can’t be eaten when not as crunchy as they are bought.
D. Even after their use-by dates pass, some foods are still safe to eat.
7. Scientists are calling for a standard explanation to be printed together with the use-by dates because ________.
A. use-by dates are not helpful or reliable B. most consumers often misunderstand use-by dates
C. more consumers get worried about food safety D. the quality level of different foods changes differently
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了大部分消费者不完全理解食物使用截止日期，进而造成了大量的食物浪费，所以科学家们呼吁对截止日期进行明确的解释。食品行业官员也正在考虑将保质期改为表明食品最容易变质的日期。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“When they first showed up, use-by dates were only supposed to indicate freshness because producers wanted their products to be tasted in their best conditions.(当它们第一次出现时，使用截止日期只是用来表明新鲜程度，因为生产商希望他们的产品在最佳状态下品尝)”可知，使用截止日期最开始是要告诉人们产品的新鲜程度。故选C。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段“But the truth is that these dates aren’t related to the risk of food poisoning or food borne illness, according to Time News. However, most customers misinterpreted use-by dates and related them to the safety of the food, and they still largely do now.(但据《时代新闻》报道，事实是这些日期与食物中毒或食源性疾病的风险无关。然而，大多数消费者misinterpreted使用截止日期，并将其与食品的安全联系在一起，现在他们大部分仍然如此)”可知，事实上使用截止日期与食品安全无关，但大部分人把他们联系在一起，说明人们对使用截止日期的理解是错误的。A. made guesses about猜测；B. formed a wrong idea about对……有错误的看法；C. made wrong use of错误地使用；D. took no notice of不理睬。故选B。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Eggs, for example, can still be eaten three to five weeks after purchase even though the use-by date is much earlier. When their use-by dates pass, strawberry flavored drinks may lose their red color and biscuits may lose their crunch (松脆), but they are not harmful.(例如，鸡蛋在购买三到五周后仍然可以食用，尽管使用日期要早得多。过期后，草莓味饮料可能会失去红色，饼干可能会失去松脆，但它们是无害的)”可知，饼干不那么松脆后，仍然可以吃，鸡蛋在过了使用日期后，也可以使用。即即使在食用日期结束后，一些食物仍然可以安全食用。故选D。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段““It’s a confusing subject, the difference between food quality and food safety,” said Jena Roberts, vice president of National Food Lab, a US food testing company. “Even in the food industry I have colleagues who get confused.”(美国食品检测公司国家食品实验室副总裁Jena Roberts表示：“食品质量和食品安全之间的区别是一个令人困惑的话题，即使在食品行业，我也有同事感到困惑。”)”及第六段“This is why scientists are calling for a standard explanation to be printed following the use-by dates.(这就是为什么科学家们呼吁在使用日期后面印上一个标准的解释)”可知，很多人对使用截止日期存在困惑，所以科学家呼吁对截止日期进行明确的解释，是因为大多数人经常误解使用截止日期。故选B。
C
Most of us set a goal with energy and motivation. If it is achieved, we will feel we are on cloud nine. But in most cases, we can’t reach our goals easily. Why do we often fail to hit the target? The answer lies in the disconnection between our brains’ evaluation of rewards and the “get it done” realities that influence our behavior.
Our brains are reward-driven organs charged by neurotransmitters (神经递质) that fuel our drives and desires, and it’s easy for us to get carried away in this chemical tsunami. So, when we set up a goal, our focus is on the reward. We picture getting the reward, and how we’ll feel when we make it, which pushes us into action. But once we begin, we come face to face with what’s really required to reach the goal and our focus shifts from reward to effort.
In other words, a focus on rewards fuels the pursuit, but a focus on effort takes over when the work starts. For example, getting up early to exercise for a new healthy lifestyle might seem like a good choice, but once your alarm goes off on a cold January morning, the rewards aren’t enough to get you up and out of bed. When we face the reality of our choices, we realize the effort is too much and give up.
In fairness, though, we don’t always have the best sense of how much effort something will require, especially if it’s a goal we haven’t pursued before. Getting better at setting goals has much to do with figuring this out and not letting ourselves forget the lesson.
Next time, begin our goal pursuits with as much realistic acknowledgment of the effort required as possible. Then, once we begin, refocus back to the reward and continue the efforts.
8. What does the underlined phrase “on cloud nine” mean in paragraph 1?
A. Scared. B. Overjoyed. C. Restless. D. Confused
9. What may account for one’s unachieved goal?
A. Aiming high, working less. B. Speaking more, doing less.
C. More efforts, less speed. D. More pains, more gains.
10. What do people often fail to recognize in setting goals?
A. Pains. B. Effort. C. Plan. D. Reward.
11. What’s the author’s advice to us?
A. Refocus back to the goal. B. Achieve your goal step by step.
C. Accept failure and learn from the past. D. Set practical goals and work consistently.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了很多时候，人们不能完成所设定的目标，因为设定目标时通常不清楚要付出多少努力而把目标设定的过高。建议人们以后在设定目标时，要先弄清楚所需要付出的努力，然后，一旦开始了，就要不断努力去实现目标。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“Most of us set a goal with energy and motivation. If it is achieved, we will feel we are on cloud nine.(我们大多数人都受精力和动力影响来设定目标。如果这个目标实现了，我们会感到on cloud nine。)”可知，on cloud nine指的是目标实现时，人们的感受，应该是高兴的。A. Scared恐惧的；B. Overjoyed狂喜的；C. Restless坐立不安的；D. Confused困惑的。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“So, when we set up a goal, our focus is on the reward. We picture getting the reward, and how we’ll feel when we make it, which pushes us into action. But once we begin, we come face to face with what’s really required to reach the goal and our focus shifts from reward to effort.( 所以，当我们设定目标时，我们关注的是奖励。我们想象得到奖励的情景，以及当我们得到奖励时的感受，这促使我们采取行动。但一旦我们开始了，我们就会面对实现目标真正需要的东西，我们的注意力就会从奖励转移到努力。)”以及第三段“When we face the reality of our choices, we realize the effort is too much and give up.(当我们面对选择的现实时，我们意识到需要付出的努力太多了，于是放弃了。)”可知，我们在设定目标时，想象的是实现目标时的奖励，所以往往会把目标设定的过高，然而在实现目标的过程中，我们则开始关注需要付出的努力，需要的努力太多，人们就会容易放弃。所以可以推断出导致一个人不能实现目标的原因是目标高，努力少。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“In fairness, though, we don’t always have the best sense of how much effort something will require, especially if it’s a goal we haven’t pursued before.(不过，公平地说，我们并不总是最清楚某件事需要付出多少努力，尤其是当它是一个我们以前没有追求过的目标时。)”可知，当人们设定目标时，通常没有意识到需要付出多少努力。A. Pains痛苦；B. Effort努力；C. Plan计划；D. Reward奖励。故选B。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Next time, begin our goal pursuits with as much realistic acknowledgment of the effort required as possible. Then, once we begin, refocus back to the reward and continue the efforts.(下次，在开始追求目标时，尽可能现实地确认所需要的努力。然后，一旦我们开始了，重新把注意力集中在奖励上，继续努力。)”可知，作者建议我们要确认好所设定的目标需要多少的努力，根据自身情况设定合理的、切实可行的目标，然后不断努力。所以D选项“制定切实可行的目标，坚持不懈地工作。”符合题意。故选D。
D
After growing up in the foster (寄养) care system, Shanté Elliott is working to help others transition(过渡，转变) out of it. Elliott is no stranger to the foster care system. She was forced to change schools and adapt to different homes over and over again before finally being adopted at the age of 13. Elliott became the first member of her family to graduate college, double majoring in literature and communication and earning a master’s in education policy. Today she is pursuing her doctoral degree.
Elliott knows the challenges facing teenagers within the foster care system. “Often, teenagers are not viewed as children but as adults,” she recently told Reader’s Digest. “Think about it—most families looking to adopt want to adopt an infant or a young child, so they can experience developmental milestones with the child.”
There are ways to help foster children without becoming a foster parent, but finding permanency is still what most foster youth need most. And for those who age out of the system without finding those forever homes, there are additional challenges to face. According to Youth.gov, these kids are at greater risk of homelessness, health problems, dropping out of school and legal issues, all of which can make succeeding in adulthood more difficult.
Elliott wants to see that stigma end. “We need to change the national dialogue around this in a way that highlights the needs of older children. All foster-involved children want consistent homes. Potential families need to realize this.”
It’s a reality Elliott is passionate about helping others realize. “The need for protection, love, opportunity, and safety has no age limit. If more teenagers were adopted, youth would have more successful long-term outcomes after foster care.” That’s something these older foster kids who found their forever homes can prove.
12. How was Elliott’s early adoptive life?
A. Difficult. B. Busy. C. Strange. D. Successful.
13. Why do foster families prefer infants or young children to teenagers?
A. Because teenagers are too old to be fostered.
B. Because infants lack personal experience and education.
C. Because parents can become part of the children’s growth process.
D. Because they want to foster children without becoming foster parents.
14. What is paragraph 3 mainly talking about?
A. Homeless children will drop out of school.
B. People don’t want to become foster parents.
C. There are some ways to help foster children.
D. Children without forever homes may suffer in the future.
15. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?
A. Few teenagers want to find forever foster homes.
B. It’s easy for teenagers to find forever foster homes.
C. Teenagers are supposed to be offered permanent homes.
D. Only teenagers need protection, love, opportunity and safety.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了在寄养系统中长大的Shanté Elliott正在努力帮助其他寄养中的青少年度过难关。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“She was forced to change schools and adapt to different homes over and over again before finally being adopted at the age of 13. (她被迫转学，一次又一次地适应不同的家庭，最终在13岁时被收养)”可知，Elliott早期的收养生活很困难。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Think about it—most families looking to adopt want to adopt an infant or a young child, so they can experience developmental milestones with the child. (想想看，大多数想收养孩子的家庭都想收养一个婴儿或幼小的孩子，这样他们就可以和孩子一起经历发展的里程碑)”可知，因为父母可以成为孩子成长过程的一部分，所以寄养家庭更喜欢婴儿或幼童而不是青少年。故选C项。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段中“And for those who age out of the system without finding those forever homes, there are additional challenges to face. According to Youth.gov, these kids are at greater risk of homelessness, health problems, dropping out of school and legal issues, all of which can make succeeding in adulthood more difficult. (对于那些因年龄而脱离社会体系而没有找到永久家庭的人来说，他们还面临着额外的挑战。据Youth.gov网站报道，这些孩子面临更大的无家可归、健康问题、辍学和法律问题的风险，所有这些都会使成年后的成功变得更加困难)”可知，本段主要讲的是那些没有永久家庭的孩子将来可能会受苦。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“All foster-involved children want consistent homes. (所有寄养的孩子都希望有稳定的家庭)”可以推知，青少年应该被提供永久的家。故选C项。

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
I wasn’t the most popular kid in my freshman year. I wasn’t into fashion, preferred reading to sports, had difficulty talking to boys. Therefore, the first year of high school hadn’t been kind to me.I had no close friends. I mostly kept to myself with my head buried in a book.
Ashley was very different from me. She was outspoken and fashionable. She was quite popular. These were qualities I knew nothing about. We had always been in the same classes throughout school, but had never talked much.
During summer school, we were both taking classes. The teacher paired us up on an assignment. We met at the library to work on the project and really got well. Of course, Ashley did most of the talking. When classes ended we continued to hang out.
I looked up to Ashley; she was all of the things I thought I wanted to be. I began listening to the music she listened to, wearing the clothes she wore. I quit reading and started watching the TV programs Ashley watched. I even tailored my sophomore (大二) year schedule to her interests. I decided to take art class even though I had really wanted to take theatre.
When we started school again, Ashley introduced me to her group of friends, the“cool girls.” She was the leader of their group. Finally I ft in. I followed them around, laughing when they told jokes, agreeing when they had opinions. I didn’t say much. I wouldn’t want them to think that I was being rude by disagreeing. This continued for several months.
One day, I overheard Ashley and her friends were talking about me.
“She’s such a loser,“ one girl said to the group.“Ashley, she just follows you around trying to be you. She copies you;she doesn’t have a personality of her own.”
Then Ashley replied,“I know, I wish she would leave us alone. We were in summer school together and now she thinks we’re best friends or something."
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
I stood rooted to the spot, feeling mortified (受辱的) and heartbroken.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Hearing my mom ‘s advice, l decided I was going to stop crying and discover who I was.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I stood rooted to the spot, feeling mortified and heartbroken. My hands were shaking, my face felt hot, and my eyes began to wet with uncontrollable tears. How had this happened? I thought we were friends. I didn’t know Ashley thought of me in that way. I couldn’t stay there and listen any more. I ran home and told my mother what had happened. She just held me while I sobbed for hours. After I calmed down, she patted my head and said gently, “Just be yourself and people will like you for who you are”
Hearing my mom’s advice, l decided I was going to stop crying and discover who I was. Ashley and I didn’t speak any more after that. Over the next month, I went through a lot of changes. I rediscovered reading, and developed my own opinions. I never again just followed the crowd. I dropped art class and joined theatre. I began making new friends who liked me for who I was. The friends I made in theatre are still my great friends to this day. When I look back, I consider it a gift. What they said about me was true. If I hadn’t been given the chance to realize it, I might have been too concerned with “fitting in” to experience some of the best times of my life.
