【題目】Too Good To Go, an app operating in the UK, allows users to order leftover food at a discount from restaurants, according to the website. The goal is to help cut food waste.

Users simply log in, pick a restaurant, pay through the app and then pick up their food at a set time—usually around closing or after peak meal times. Orders through the app cost between 2 British pounds ($2.60) to 3.80 British pounds (about $5). Users aren’t able to pick the food items, but they get an idea of the type of food that will be available, according to Business Green.

Users also have the option to give meals to people in need by donating 1 British pound or more through the app. More than l, l00 meals have been donated so far.

To ensure the entire experience is super eco-friendly. Too Good To Go provides recyclable takeout packaging to participating restaurants.

Restaurants using the app make extra money by selling food what would otherwise have been throw away. And Too Good To Go itself makes money by taking a fee from participating restaurants on each sale.

Founded in Denmark last year. Too Good To Go launched this year in the UK and is expanding to other countries. The app is available in Brighton, Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds, and will be in London later this month.

“Food waste just seems like one of the dumbest(愚蠢) problems we have in this world,” co-founder James Crummie told Business Green. “The restaurant industry is wasting about 600,000 tonnes of food each year, and in the UK alone there are one million people on emergency food parcels from food banks. Why do we have these two massive social issues that are completely connected, yet there is not much going on to address them?”

Too Good To Go has already helped cut a significant amount of waste. So far, the app has saved 600 meals from landfills in the UK, reports Business Green.

B. food bank should provide more food to people in need

D. it’s stupid trying to solve food problems by using the app

【解析】文章主要介紹了一款可以低價(jià)買餐廳剩余食物的手機(jī)應(yīng)用程序，使用它可以讓餐廳借助這款應(yīng)用銷售剩余食物，賺取額外收入；同時(shí)也讓沒多少錢的人低價(jià)買到食物，從而減少了食物浪費(fèi)。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段最后一句The goal is to help cut food waste.可知，這個(gè)app的目的是要減少浪費(fèi)，故選B。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第六段The app is available in Brighton. Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds, and will be in London later this month. （目前，這款手機(jī)應(yīng)用在布萊頓、伯明翰、曼切斯特和利茲市等地均可使用。到本月底，倫敦業(yè)務(wù)即將開通）可知，B項(xiàng)不正確。根據(jù)第五段Restaurants using the app make extra money by selling food what would otherwise have been throw away.（餐廳借助這款應(yīng)用銷售剩余食物，賺取額外收入。）可知，C項(xiàng)不正確；根據(jù)第四段Too Good To Go provides recyclable takeout packaging to participating restaurants.（為了確保整個(gè)體驗(yàn)更為環(huán)保，Too Good To Go為合作餐廳提供了可回收的外賣包裝。）可知，D項(xiàng)不正確；根據(jù)文章最后一段So far, the app has saved 600 meals from landfills in the UK（到目前為止，該應(yīng)用已經(jīng)從垃圾填埋場省回600餐）可知，A項(xiàng)正確，故選A。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)推斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段James Crummie說的一段話，尤其是yet there is not much going on to address them可知，C項(xiàng)正確，故選C。

【4】主旨大意題。本文是一篇說明文，介紹一款app的功能，第一段就說明了其目的，全文都圍繞使用這款app能減少浪費(fèi)展開，A、B、C三項(xiàng)都是文章的部分內(nèi)容，不能概括全文。故選D。

【題目】Scientists investigated why Ebola virus is so deadly when it spreads from animals to humans and then from human-to-human contact. The research team looked at the Zaire Ebola virus in an animal system to understand how it gains strength. This virus is responsible for the current outbreak in West Africa. They found thatinitiallythe animal systems were notaffected by the virus, but succeeding transmission(傳送) into other animals caused the virus to “hot up” and become more severe.

The team analyzed the viruses at different stages and were able to identify several changes in its geneticmaterial that were associated with increased disease.

Professor Julian Hiscox, who led the study from the University’s Institute of Infection and Global Health, explains: “The work tells us that theevolutionary goal of Ebola virus is to become more fatal.”

“We were able to show through genetic analysis which parts of the virus are involved in this process. The information we have gathered will now allow us to monitor for such changes in an outbreak as well as develop future treatment strategies.”

Professor Roger Hewson, leading the study from Public Health England, Porton Down, said: “Ebola virus is such adestructiveinfection to the people affected by the disease and the economy of West Africa.”

“Our understanding of Ebola virus biology is way behind that of other viruses and ourcooperation shows how we can bring together our specialists’ skills to close this knowledge gap.”

Professor Miles Carroll, a co-author of the work, said: “This study has allowed the team to be at the forefront of developing methodologies to analyze patient samples recently taken by the European Mobile Laboratory from West Africa to understand disease evolution during the current outbreak.”

【1】What does the first paragraph mainly tell us?

A. How severe Ebola virus is.

B. How Ebola virus spreads.

C. How Ebola virus gradually becomes deadly.

D. What contributions scientists have made on Ebola virus.

【2】Which of the following statements is mentioned in the passage?

A. In the first stage, the virus hurts its victims much.

B. As the virus spreads, it’ll change and become more and more deadly.

【題目】Dr. Michael Prager, a leading Botox expert, said that a growing number of women are developing something called “computer face”. He also mentioned that professionals who worked long hours in front of a screen were ending up with saggy jowls（顎骨下垂）,“turkey neck” and deep-set wrinkles（皺紋） on their forehead and around their eyes.

The Botox expert said that, of all his clients, office workers were most likely to show premature （過早的）signs of aging. “ If you are one of the unfortunate people who frown（皺眉）while you are concentrating on the screen then, over time, you will inevitably（不可避免地） end up with frown lines.’’ Dr. Prager said. “What is perhaps more surprising is the number of women with saggy jowls because they are sitting in one position for so long. If you spend most of the time looking down then the neck muscles shorten and go saggy, eventually giving you a second neck.”

Dr. Prager, who has a practice near Harley Street in London, said he encourages his clients（客戶） to put a mirror next to their computer so they can see if they are frowning at the screen. “When people are stressed or thinking hard about something, then they will often put on a ‘grumpy（脾氣暴躁的）face’ without even knowing what they are doing. When my clients put a mirror next to their desk, they are often shocked by the angry, frowning face which stares back at them.”

He said, “The women I am seeing at the moment have only been using computers at work for the last decade or so. But women in their 20s have grown up with them and use them for every single task. I think the problem is going to become much, much worse. In another ten years, they could be looking quite awful.”

Dr. Prager said there were several simple steps which could avoid “computer face” such as regular screen breaks and stretching the neck muscles. And, of course, there was always Botox. He said that , after a couple of sessions of Botox, the habit of “grumpy face” could be broken.

【1】According to the passage, which of the following are signs of aging?

A. Saggy jowls and short necks

B. Turkey neck and frown lines

C. Deep-set wrinkles and angry faces

D. Second neck and stressed muscles

【2】Why does Dr. Prager suggest a mirror for his clients?

A. To be aware of their “computer face”

B. To see if they have got a second neck

C. To make sure their make-up is perfect

D. To find more signs of premature aging

【3】From the last 2 paragraphs, we can know that_____

A. “computer face” is avoidable

B. we should give up using computers

C. we should break the habit of “grumpy face”

D. the younger generation is worse at computers
