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的使用截止日期，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
Costa Rica is about two-thirds the size of Scotland but still shelters five percent of the world’s biodiversity (生物多样性). Covered by rainforest and cloud forest, filled with 129 volcanoes and washed by both the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, it is a dream destination for visitors.

At a farm off Narrow Lane near Lexington, Kentucky, US, old-fashioned houses look over the little red barn(畜棚). The farm is mostly empty now. Jim Mahan and his family, who lived there for generations, have moved to a different plot of land in northern Fayette County. As land is sold, houses go up where there once were fields.
But during the summer, the barn is filled with city kids who have come to enjoy the farm. They’re members of the Fayette County Livestock(FCL)Club, which showcases (展示) various skills. The barn is where they look after the animals. “A lot of Lexington kids don’t know anything about farm life,” said Adria Meier, 17, who has looked after goats and sheep for three years. “There is so much to learn.”
The dozen or so children who take care of their goats and sheep at the little red barn must take a six-hour class before they get an animal. They pay for their own animals but get special club programs, such as one that provides vet (兽医) care.
Mahan lets the group use the barn for free, and the kids spend up to three hours a day there during the summer. But as his land gets sold, he doesn’t know whether the club can continue. What makes the FCL Club special is that most of the kids can walk out their doors and take care of their animals. Most are driven to the barn by their mothers, who usually hang around and chat as their kids feed and exercise the animals.
There are valuable lessons learned along the way. For instance, don’t cut wool off your goat when there is wind, and sheep are social animals and will cry loudly when separated. “Tending to animals helps teach us responsibility. Unlike learning to shoot an arrow, caring for an animal isn’t something you can simply abandon,” said Carly Playforth, 16, from Lexington
12. What is the requirement for kids before they get animals
A. Having various skills. B. Paying certain money.
C. Attending a class. D. Getting special club programs.
13. What do we know about the club
A. It offers services unconditionally. B. It allows mothers to push kids.
C. It lets mothers care for animals. D. It pays for the use of the barn.
14. Which word best describes Carly Playforth’s attitude to the experience
A. Cautious. B. Doubtful. C. Supportive. D. Negative.
15. What is the text mainly about
A. Kids’ life on a sold farm. B. Valuable lessons learned on the farm.
C. A special club intended for Lexington kids. D. A club activity of caring for farm animals.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲述了一群城里的孩子来到乡间农场体验不同的生活——照顾农场动物的故事。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The dozen or so children who take care of their goats and sheep at the little red barn must take a six-hour class before they get an animal.(在这个红色的小谷仓里照看山羊和绵羊的十几个孩子必须上6个小时的课程，然后才能得到动物)”可知，孩子们在养动物之前要上课。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Most are driven to the barn by their mothers, who usually hang around and chat as their kids feed and exercise the animals.(大多数孩子是被他们的妈妈赶到畜棚的，她们通常在孩子喂养和锻炼动物的时候闲逛和聊天)”可知，该俱乐部让母亲们可以督促孩子。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“There are valuable lessons learned along the way.(一路走来，我学到了很多宝贵的经验)”和“Tending to animals helps teach us responsibility. Unlike learning to shoot an arrow, caring for an animal isn’t something you can simply abandon(照顾动物可以教会我们有责任感。与学习射箭不同，照顾动物不是你可以轻易放弃的事情)”可知，卡莉普莱福斯觉得这种体验很好，因此对这种体验是支持的。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段的“But during the summer, the barn is filled with city kids who have come to enjoy the farm. They’re members of the Fayette County Livestock (FCL) Club, which showcases (展示) various skills. The barn is where they look after the animals.(但在夏天，谷仓里挤满了来享受农场生活的城市孩子。他们是费耶特县牲畜俱乐部(FCL)的成员，该俱乐部展示了各种技能。谷仓是他们照看动物的地方)”和最后一段的“There are valuable lessons learned along the way.(一路走来，很多宝贵的经验被学到)”可知，本文重点介绍的是FCL俱乐部借助一个农场举办的活动——让孩子们亲自照顾动物。在这一过程中，孩子们获益匪浅。故D项“照顾农场动物的俱乐部活动”概括最为全面。故选D。

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.

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

Costa Rica is about two-thirds the size of Scotland but still shelters five percent of the world’s biodiversity (生物多样性). Covered by rainforest and cloud forest, filled with 129 volcanoes and washed by both the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, it is a dream destination for visitors.
In the cloud forest, hundreds of orchid (兰花) species bloom, beautiful birds sing and butterflies flash their colorful wings, while on the Caribbean coast, four species of turtle choose the warm sands as their annual nesting sites.
If you love adventure, try hiking through the lava fields of Arenal Volcano, which is among the ten most active in the world and standing at 5,437 feet tall, or walk through the cloud forest on a series of zip lines in Monteverde. And you are happy with the choice when it comes to accommodation. Will you stay in a tree house or a hotel on the beach The options are endless.
Now it is easier to get to Costa Rica. In 2016, British Airways launched a direct flight from London Gatwick to San Jose, so you can now reach the nation in less than 11 hours. Once you arrive, touring the country is simple. There are domestic flights if you are short of time. Many hotels and tour operators put together good packages to visit local highlights, or if you prefer, you can even rent a car.
Costa Rica is a year-round destination, with the driest period between December and April. For the rest of the year, the scenery looks more green and amazing, with sunny mornings and showers in the afternoon.
A beautiful rainforest country in Central America, Costa Rica has coastlines on both the Caribbean and Pacific Ocean and some of the world’s best beaches. Costa Rica’s diversity of scenery and natural wonders provides visitors with adventure, relaxation, romance and exploration.

At a farm off Narrow Lane near Lexington, Kentucky, US, old-fashioned houses look over the little red barn(畜棚). The farm is mostly empty now. Jim Mahan and his family, who lived there for generations, have moved to a different plot of land in northern Fayette County. As land is sold, houses go up where there once were fields.
But during the summer, the barn is filled with city kids who have come to enjoy the farm. They’re members of the Fayette County Livestock(FCL)Club, which showcases (展示) various skills. The barn is where they look after the animals. “A lot of Lexington kids don’t know anything about farm life,” said Adria Meier, 17, who has looked after goats and sheep for three years. “There is so much to learn.”
The dozen or so children who take care of their goats and sheep at the little red barn must take a six-hour class before they get an animal. They pay for their own animals but get special club programs, such as one that provides vet (兽医) care.
Mahan lets the group use the barn for free, and the kids spend up to three hours a day there during the summer. But as his land gets sold, he doesn’t know whether the club can continue. What makes the FCL Club special is that most of the kids can walk out their doors and take care of their animals. Most are driven to the barn by their mothers, who usually hang around and chat as their kids feed and exercise the animals.
There are valuable lessons learned along the way. For instance, don’t cut wool off your goat when there is wind, and sheep are social animals and will cry loudly when separated. “Tending to animals helps teach us responsibility. Unlike learning to shoot an arrow, caring for an animal isn’t something you can simply abandon,” said Carly Playforth, 16, from Lexington
12. What is the requirement for kids before they get animals
A. Having various skills. B. Paying certain money.
C. Attending a class. D. Getting special club programs.
13. What do we know about the club
A. It offers services unconditionally. B. It allows mothers to push kids.
C. It lets mothers care for animals. D. It pays for the use of the barn.
14 Which word best describes Carly Playforth’s attitude to the experience
A. Cautious. B. Doubtful. C. Supportive. D. Negative.
15. What is the text mainly about
A. Kids’ life on a sold farm. B. Valuable lessons learned on the farm.
C. A special club intended for Lexington kids. D. A club activity of caring for farm animals.

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."
