Passage 1
(2022贵州遵义三模)
Few people knew about online food delivery apps ten years ago,but today,many would find it hard to live without them.In China alone,over 400 million people use such apps.For better or for worse,online food delivery services have changed the way we eat,and they are also having a huge impact on our society.
These services have no doubt brought us many benefits.They provide jobs for millions of people and help restaurants find more customers.Since the apps are very convenient,they also benefit consumers:we can now have meals delivered at any time of day,despite bad weather or busy schedules.This is especially important for people who work long hours,since they might not have time to cook.Not only do these apps save time,they also provide us with a wide variety of restaurants to choose from.They have proved to be useful for retired people as well:seniors who live far away from restaurants and supermarkets can now get hold of meals and groceries more easily.
However,we must not forget the drawbacks of online food delivery services.For one thing,they make it even easier to order unhealthy food,high in sugar,fat and salt.Food safety is another problem:it can be hard to establish where the food actually comes from,and whether the owner is legally permitted to run a restaurant.As couriers need to deliver the orders as quickly as possible,some pay little regard to traffic rules.In recent years,there have been a number of terrible traffic accidents because of this.Moreover,the industry is creating unbelievable amounts of packaging waste:over a million tons of online food delivery boxes are thrown away every year.Experts assume that this number will continue to grow in the future,and this will have a negative impact on the environment.

Passage 2

After a long day under the beating sun,an ice cream might be a tempting treat.But would you be able to enjoy it if you knew it was made from insect “milk” Gourmet Grubb,a food company,is hoping to use ice cream to introduce the public to the world of eating insects.Its ice cream uses EntoMilk,a dairy alternative made from insects known as the black solider fly,which is full of nutrients and friendly to farm and produce.“The ice cream flavors include chocolate,peanut butter and Christmas spices.We set out to change the way insects were seen,produced and used in the food industry,” said Leah Bessa,who co-founded Gourmet Grubb in 2017.“We were expecting a lot of push back.However,people said the first bite was not a taste of disgust but a pleasant surprise and they couldn’t wait to have one more.”
According to Bessa,EntoMilk has “a slightly taste of earth” and gives the ice cream “a rich,creamy taste”.The insect “milk” ice cream is made with natural ingredients,such as raw honey,cocoa,spices and organic peanut butter.But it’s not just about the taste—Bessa says the insect “milk” is also high in nutrients that are comparable to fish and meat like beef,chicken,and pork.EntoMilk is five times higher in protein than dairy.
“Insects need very little water,feed and space to grow,” Bessa explained.“They also produce little or no greenhouse gases compared to traditional livestock.” Insects can be farmed indoors in small,controlled environments and they can be raised in urban areas,reducing the time of transporting the milk to the city.It also means they are less at risk of being impacted by outer climate patterns,which would affect cattle and crops.There is also potential for insect farming to reduce waste.
The United Nations predicts that the world will need to double food production to feed the global population by 2050 and has long promoted insect farming as a sustainable alternative protein source to traditional livestock.Although over 1,900 insect species are estimated to be consumed by humans worldwide,insects are yet to reach the mainstream of Western cuisine.
5.What did customers think of the insect-made ice cream
A.Really unpleasant.
B.Easily acceptable.
C.Slightly sweet.
D.Extremely disgusting.
6.Which of the statements is true according to the passage
A.EntoMilk has an advantage over dairy in taste.
B.Gourmet Grubb’s ice cream is produced with man-made ingredients.
C.The insect “milk” ice cream will soon become a bestseller at Christmas.
D.EntoMilk is as good as conventional meat in nutrients.
7.What feature does insect farming possess
A.It is almost harmless to the environment.
B.It needs a large area of land to raise the insects.
C.It requires advanced technology to keep insects alive.
D.It saves huge amounts of labor to transport the milk.
8.What can be inferred from the passage
A.Insects have already been well welcomed by Western people.
B.Many countries will import insects to feed their population.
C.Gourmet Grubb has expanded its business under the guidance of the UN.
D.Insects may be a way to deal with the problem of food shortage.
Passage 3
(2022安徽合肥二模)
City parks have long been a place for urban residents to get a small amount of green.As cities increasingly feel the impacts of rising seas and temperatures,people are rethinking the roles of urban parks.
All of the dark-gray asphalt (沥青) in cities collect heat.Dallas is one of the country’s fastest-warming cities thanks in part to its extensive impervious (不透水的) surfaces,but with a new $312 million bond package,the city is hoping to change that.Using satellite data,the city is able to see what neighborhoods most need—the cooling effect of green spaces.
Cities are increasingly flooding and city planners think parks can help with this issue too.A report published in February by The Nature Conservancy looked at the best ways to deal with flooding in Houston,a city with many neighborhoods built on floodplains and regularly flooded by rising waters.Offering affected homeowners buyouts and transforming homes into green spaces would save more money than installing infrastructure (基础设施) like pipes,they found.
Brendan Shane,a climate program director,says parks can create opportunities for people to exercise and play,in addition to cooling neighborhoods and absorbing floodwater.“The stronger the bonds are from neighbor to neighbor,the better they are able to react to a shock,” he says.
“Not a single solution by itself will avoid the climate crisis.We see parks as an important part of it,but there isn’t a silver bullet,” says Diane Regas,CEO of The Trust for Public Land.“Parks are an example of what we in the environmental community need to do to reach solutions that address climate change and at the same time make people’s lives better.”
9.What does the city Dallas want to deal with
A.The lack of green spaces.
B.The way of collecting heat.
C.The effect of rising seas.
D.The bond between neighborhoods.
10.What can be inferred from the report by The Nature Conservancy
A.Cities in the world are frequently flooded.
B.City parks may help prevent city flooding.
C.Cities needn’t invest much money in infrastructure.
D.City parks affect people’s choice of a neighborhood.
11.What does Brendan Shane say about parks
A.They can enable people to get over a shock.
B.They can reduce air pollution effectively.
C.They can perform positive social functions.
D.They can help people to keep a cool head.
12.What does the underlined phrase “a sliver bullet” in paragraph 5 mean
A.A fast and effective solution.
B.A successful example.
C.An immediate and clear cause.
D.An impractical method.
