There are 20 refrigerators (冰箱) around the Washington, D.C. area packed with meals and they are free. They’re part of a program to help people facing food shortages while also supporting restaurants struggling during the pandemic.
Since Feed the Fridge was started just over a year ago, more than 30,000 free meals have been provided for seniors, students, and families. Participating restaurants have been paid about $200,000 for the meals, which has helped them stay open and continue to pay employees.
Program founder Mark Bucher, co-owner of Medium Rare steakhouse, says he came up with the idea not long after the pandemic hit. “As a restaurant owner, I saw many restaurants were in danger of closing. But I also thought about what my late father would face in this situation if he were still alive, and the elderly were in great danger,” he said. “Scared to leave their apartments or homes, low on funds, unable to use food delivery (递送) apps on their phones, seniors were unwilling to ask their family or friends for help. They didn’t want to trouble others.”
They started with a tweet offering to send food from restaurants to any seniors who needed it. Then they offered to send flowers to mothers and grandmothers who were alone on Mother's Day. When the new school year started in August, students would learn at home. Bucher says they also decided to help those children who relied on free school meals.
The goal is to deliver more than 500,000 free meals prepared by local restaurants by the end of this year. Bucher calls the program a win-win-win for the economy, the restaurant industry, and people who otherwise would not have a healthy and fresh meal to eat. There are no questions or limits for the meals. People can just walk up and take what they need.
4. What are the refrigerators used for
A. Reminding people to save food.
B. Storing restaurants, food materials.
C. Providing free food for people in need.
D. Bringing some tastier food to customers.

B. He wanted to offer healthier food to sick people.
C. He tried to save his restaurant from closing down.
D. He realized the bad situations of restaurants and old people.
6. What is the main idea of Paragraph 4

C. The difficulties the program was facing.
D. The increasing popularity of the program.
7. What does Bucher think of the program

Colombia’s Chiribiquete National Park, which is the largest protected tropical forest in the world, was just named a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its outstanding universal value for nature and people. It was built in 1989 and has been expanded twice and now covers 4.4 million hectares in the Northern Amazon. This is a great win for environmentalists.
Chiribiquete National Park has a high rate of species variety. It is home to almost 3,000 animal and plant species, many of which are endangered outside of this amazing protected area. The park is also home to a huge amount of species that are distinctive to this region. Some of them have been decided to be many years old. According to UNESCO, “The park, which is located in the middle of two Pleistocene refuges (Napo and Imeri) and functions as a corridor (走廊) between three biogeographic provinces (Orinoquia, Guyana, and Amazonia), hosts many special species.”
The National Heritage designation (称号) marks the great success of decades of joint conservation (保护) efforts by the Colombian government, the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), and other environmental organizations. “This is an important moment for the protection of key ecosystems in Colombia,” said Mary Lou Higgins, Director of WWF Colombia. “The recognition of this unique place as a World Heritage Site is a significant step toward protecting forests for future generations. It is a milestone for the Amazon and for forest conservation globally.”
Colombian president Juan Manuel Santos said that he welcomed the UNESCO designation and considered it as great news for Colombia. He promised to increase the conservation funds by an additional $525 million to better protect the country’s environment. However, it is still a long way to go in protecting the park for generations to come.
8. What do we know about Chiribiquete National Park
A. Its natural beauty has been damaged a lot.
B. Its value has got international recognition.
C. Its species have a big influence on tourism.
D. Its large size attracts environmentalists’ attention.
9. What does the underlined word “distinctive” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Harmful. B. Common.
C. Friendly. D. Unique.
10. What can we infer from Mary Lou Higgins, words
A. The park’s environmental problems have been settled.
B. The ecosystems in Colombia arc in a dangerous situation.
C. The designation of the park is meaningful to forest protection.
D. The future generations should consider the balance of species.
11. What would Juan Manuel Santos like to do for the protection work
A. He would help to offer financial support.
B. He would stop people from cutting down big trees.
C. He would try to change the living habits of some species.
D. He would build more wildlife centers in other countries.

Summer music festivals are coming, which means that thousands of fans are camping nearby, ready to party. Big trouble arises, however, when it comes to the time for them to leave. Campers leave tents, sleeping bags, clothes and food behind after they’ve done partying. They just leave all their stuff for someone else to clean up.
After the Isle of Wight Festival in the U.K. saw a shocking 10,000 tents left behind in 2011, some environmentally-minded people decided to take action. Then an activity called Love Your Tent was started. It wanted to make “getting up and leaving tents behind completely socially unacceptable”. In 2012, the activity took over a single campground at the festival and made sure that every person who wanted to camp there signed an agreement that included promising to take their camping facilities home. This time, out of 1,500 campers, only 18 tents were abandoned (遗弃).
Unfortunately, when Love Your Tent did a survey of students last year, they found that 60 percent of the students admitted to leaving tents behind in the past, even though 86 percent recognized that waste has a bad influence on the environment. Thirty-six percent were unsure if their behavior would ever change, and 35 percent said their behavior
would never change. The camping facilities are so cheap — in terms of quality and price — that nobody sees the sense in packing up a dirty tent and taking it home for reuse.
While there’s no easy solution to this trash (垃圾) disaster, it’s dear that music festival organizers need to take responsibility for what their event creates. They should demand that campers clean up their trash and provide tent-recycling facilities for those people who insist (坚持) on leaving their tents behind. Everyone could at least sign an agreement when buying tickets, which would increase awareness of the problem. People can also refuse to attend festivals with bad reputations for waste management and support those with good policies. Camping, which is supposed to be a celebration of nature and music, should never become a trash festival.
12. What is the purpose of the activity Love Your Tent
A. To find the lost tents for the owners.
B. To sell high-quality tents to campers.
C. To stop festival-goers from abandoning their tents.
D. To gather the abandoned tents after music festivals.
13. What does the survey in Paragraph 3 show
A. People have difficulty forming good new habits.
B. The public’s environmental awareness has improved.
C. Increasing the prices of tents can solve the single-use tent problem.
D. Packing up tents after festivals continues to be a challenging choice.
14. What does the author suggest doing to reduce waste in music festivals
A. Ranking the camping sites fairly.
B. Strengthening the punishment for camping.
C. Increasing the number of volunteers for music festivals.
D. Improving waste management with proper rules.
15. Which can be the best title for the text
A. Why music festivals are environmental disasters
B. Why people are unwilling to attend music festivals
C. Why festival-goers choose to quit their bad behavior
D. Why camping is becoming a trend in music festivals

The potato is native to South America. Thousands of years ago, local people discovered them. Then they began to try planting these wild potatoes. 16 And they developed many different kinds of potatoes. As a result, the potato quickly became an important part of people’s diet.
When explorers first set foot in South America, they were introduced to potatoes. And samples (样品) of the crop traveled to Europe with them. 17 The reason was that they thought potatoes were strange and harmful. However, they finally changed their views and made potatoes a popular addition to their diet.
18 For example, many people like flying (油炸) them. Fried foods, such as French fries and potato pancakes, are now popular in many parts of the world. Potatoes can also be boiled in the water, baked, etc. The white flesh can be dressed with a number of condiments (调味品) or eaten plain, depending on personal preference.
When buying potatoes in the store, shoppers should be aware that different types are more suitable for different foods than others. For example, waxy potatoes will keep their shape when cooked. 19
If you want to plant potatoes yourself, you should know that potatoes are somewhat difficult to grow. They can easily become damaged if not cared for properly. 20 You can watch certain videos online or read certain articles to know when to grow potatoes, how to make the soil suitable for their growth or how to water them. Once harvested, potatoes can be stored in a cool dark place for an extended period of time.
A. At last, they succeeded.
B. They found them not tasty.
C. This makes them a good choice for flying.
D. You can grow other foods besides potatoes.
E. Nowadays, potatoes are enjoyed in lots of ways.
F. But European farmers were at first doubtful about this food.
G. So before your planting, you5d better learn how to grow them.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
One Friday, just as we sat down for lunch at our desks, our teacher, Mrs. Hill, said that she needed to be out of the classroom for a few minutes. She asked the class to eat in silence while she was gone. And she said that those who didn’t eat their meals in silence would have to answer to her when she returned. It was well-known that Mrs. Hill was strict. So we had to be on our best behavior.
But that Friday, Mrs. Hill hadn’t been gone for ten seconds before some students in the classroom started to talk. From one comer of the room I heard Josh ask Nick, “Can I trade my candies for your toy ” At the other end of the room I heard Samantha tell Kayla, “Let’s sit together on the bus for the museum field trip tomorrow.” And so it went all around me, until about half of the students communicated with each other.
After a while, I, too, forgot about Mrs. HillJ’s instructions. I turned back and asked my friend Liza, “Can I borrow your storybook and keep it for a day ” As soon as the words were out of my mouth, Mrs. Hill walked into the classroom. The whole class returned to silence immediately. And we were full of fear.
Mrs. Hill slowly looked around the classroom and said, “If you were talking while I was gone, then please stand up.” The guilt (内疚) suddenly weighed heavily on me. “I shouldn’t have talked while she was not in the classroom. And now I should be honest and admit my mistake bravely. This is what my parents have always told me,” I thought. Then, I summoned up (鼓起) my courage to stand up, worried about the punishment that waited for me. Then I looked around.
Paragraph 1:
To my surprise, no one followed me.

With Mrs. Hill’s encouragement, another student stood up.

第二节
Paragraph 1:
To my surprise, no one followed me. I lowered my head, alone and filled with fear. After looking around for a while, Mrs. Hill walked towards me. Strangely, she asked in a soft voice, “Why did you dare to stand up ” I said I wanted to be honest and that I realized what I had done was wrong. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Hill was quite amazed by my answer and praised me for that. Then she returned to the front of the classroom and explained why we should be honest.
Paragraph 2:
With Mrs. Hill’s encouragement, another student stood up. Then more students followed until about half of the students stood up. Seeing it, Mrs. Hill praised us for our courage. Then, she asked us to sit down. We continued eating our meals. After we finished, Mrs. Hill reminded us to remember that everyone should be responsible for his behavior. We all agreed with her. And I was happy that in a way I set a good example to my classmates.

The potato is native to South America. Thousands of years ago, local people discovered them. Then they began to try planting these wild potatoes. 16 And they developed many different kinds of potatoes. As a result, the potato quickly became an important part of people’s diet.
When explorers first set foot in South America, they were introduced to potatoes. And samples (样品) of the crop traveled to Europe with them. 17 The reason was that they thought potatoes were strange and harmful. However, they finally changed their views and made potatoes a popular addition to their diet.
18 For example, many people like flying (油炸) them. Fried foods, such as French fries and potato pancakes, are now popular in many parts of the world. Potatoes can also be boiled in the water, baked, etc. The white flesh can be dressed with a number of condiments (调味品) or eaten plain, depending on personal preference.

They can easily become damaged if not cared for properly. 20 You can watch certain videos online or read certain articles to know when to grow potatoes, how to make the soil suitable for their growth or how to water them.

One Friday, just as we sat down for lunch at our desks, our teacher, Mrs. Hill, said that she needed to be out of the classroom for a few minutes. She asked the class to eat in silence while she was gone. And she said that those who didn’t eat their meals in silence would have to answer to her when she returned. It was well-known that Mrs. Hill was strict. So we had to be on our best behavior.
But that Friday, Mrs. Hill hadn’t been gone for ten seconds before some students in the classroom started to talk. From one comer of the room I heard Josh ask Nick, “Can I trade my candies for your toy ” At the other end of the room I heard Samantha tell Kayla, “Let’s sit together on the bus for the museum field trip tomorrow.” And so it went all around me, until about half of the students communicated with each other.
After a while, I, too, forgot about Mrs. HillJ’s instructions. I turned back and asked my friend Liza, “Can I borrow your storybook and keep it for a day ” As soon as the words were out of my mouth, Mrs. Hill walked into the classroom. The whole class returned to silence immediately. And we were full of fear.
Mrs. Hill slowly looked around the classroom and said, “If you were talking while I was gone, then please stand up.” The guilt (内疚) suddenly weighed heavily on me. “I shouldn’t have talked while she was not in the classroom. And now I should be honest and admit my mistake bravely. This is what my parents have always told me,” I thought. Then, I summoned up (鼓起) my courage to stand up, worried about the punishment that waited for me. Then I looked around.
Paragraph 1:
To my surprise, no one followed me.

Paragraph 2:
With Mrs. Hill’s encouragement, another student stood up.

第二节
Paragraph 1:
To my surprise, no one followed me. I lowered my head, alone and filled with fear. After looking around for a while, Mrs. Hill walked towards me. Strangely, she asked in a soft voice, “Why did you dare to stand up ” I said I wanted to be honest and that I realized what I had done was wrong. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Hill was quite amazed by my answer and praised me for that. Then she returned to the front of the classroom and explained why we should be honest.
Paragraph 2:
With Mrs. Hill’s encouragement, another student stood up. Then more students followed until about half of the students stood up. Seeing it, Mrs. Hill praised us for our courage. Then, she asked us to sit down. We continued eating our meals. After we finished, Mrs. Hill reminded us to remember that everyone should be responsible for his behavior. We all agreed with her. And I was happy that in a way I set a good example to my classmates.
