World Food Day falls on October 16 in memory of the day when the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the UN was formed.The events of the day usually focus on reducing,or rather,removing hunger from the Earth.Farmers and government officials are often given tips on how to get rid of hunger with better effect.
World Food Day was created by FAO member countries in November 1979.It was during their 20th General Conference that the observance (庆祝) of World Food Day was decided.It was not observed until 1981 when the specific date was determined.Pal Romany,the then Hungary’s Minister of Agriculture and Food,played an important role in the founding of World Food Day during the 20th General Conference.People at the conference welcomed the idea.
World Food Day is not only celebrated by FAO and the United Nations,but several other organizations concerned with food security,hunger reduction,consumption of balanced diet and health also take part in the celebration.On the day,which is usually observed in more than 150 countries in the world,a number of activities like marathons,concerts,agricultural inventions,and cultural exhibitions and shows are usually organized.
Each year has its own theme to celebrate World Food Day.The themes are always related to food production,availability,and consumption.The themes are always set so that the public can come up with suggestions that are effective in dealing with hunger,poverty,and famine.In fact,most themes are agriculture related because agriculture is the chief source of food.
World Food Day hopes to help people solve issues concerning hunger and famine.It is meant to help farmers attain skills that would help achieve food security.It is also set aside to encourage the government to think of way to keep food security.

Many strawberry farmers prefer to remove natural habitat around their farms to keep wild birds,and any bacteria they carry,away from their fields and crops.However a new study published in 2022 shows that farms with surrounding natural habitat experience the most benefits from birds,including less crop damage and lower food-safety risks.
The study was conducted at 21 strawberry fields along California’s Central Coast.It found that birds were more likely to carry bacteria and eat berries without surrounding natural habitat.
For the study,scientists looked at the analysis of 1,000 fecal(排泄物的) samples from 55 bird species,combined with data from more than 300 bird surveys.They used the information to figure out what each bird was eating—be it pests,beneficial insects or crops—as well as which birds were carrying bacteria.The scientists then ranked wild birds to see which were more likely to bring most benefits or costs to farmlands.Barn swallows were ranked beneficial to farmland.
But the results were more than creating a list of “good” and “bad” birds.The study found that most bird species brought both costs and benefits to farms,depending on how the surrounding land was managed.The presence of natural habitat was the single most important factor differentiating a farm where wild birds brought more benefits than harm.Farms with surrounding natural habitat for birds saw less damage and fewer bacteria problems than others.
The study was part of a series of research conducted in Daniel Karp’s lab at University of California,Davis,all focusing on the impact and importance of maintaining natural habitat for wildlife surrounding farmland.A related study in 2020 also found that farms with natural habitat attracted more insect-eating birds and fewer strawberry-eating birds so that farmers experience less berry damage on farms with more habitat nearby.
4.What is the finding of the new study in 2022
A.Wild birds in farms decrease food-safety risks.
B.Natural habitat near farms reduces crop damage.
C.Birds in natural habitat carry more bacteria to farms.
D.Farms neighbouring natural habitat benefit most from birds.
5.Which of the following was a research step in the study
A.Analyzing 55 bird species.
B.Conducting 300 bird surveys.
C.Finding out what wild birds eat.
D.Ranking birds according to how they eat.
6.What determined the impact that birds brought to farms
A.Presence of neighbouring farmlands.
B.Management of the surrounding land.
C.Location of natural habitat for wildlife.
D.Species of wild birds that lived near farms.
7.Why is a related study in 2020 mentioned in the last paragraph
A.To draw a conclusion.
B.To make a comparison.
C.To support the research finding.
D.To give background information.

According to the United States Department of Agriculture,more than 12 million households 1 enough food for everyone in their family at some time during the year—including 2 .Hunger is surprisingly widespread in our country—one of the world’s wealthiest—yet the government estimates that we waste almost 100 billion pounds of food each year,more than one-quarter of our total supply.

On Thursday,National Geographic will show the first-ever Mars show home,giving earthlings(地球人) an idea of what their life could look like on the red planet.In the not-so-distant year of 2037,the igloo-shaped structure could be the home of your future.
It shows a house built using recycled spacecraft parts and Martian soil,called regolith,which has been microwaved into bricks.Some parts of the home are recognizable — a kitchen,a bedroom — but there are fundamental differences that are important to human survival.
As the Martian atmosphere is around one hundredth as thick as the Earth’s,people will need permanent(永久的) shelter from the sun;society will move largely indoors.Most buildings will be connected by underground passages and the houses won’t have windows.The homes will have simulated solar lighting or natural light that has been bent several times.Walls will need to be 10 to 12 feet thick,to protect people from dangerous rays(光线) that can pass through six feet of steel.The homes will also have a double air-locked entrance to keep the home under proper pressure.
“We don’t think of our houses as things that keep us alive,but on Mars your house will be a survival centre,” says Stephen Petranek,author of How We’ll Live on Mars.This is not just the stuff of sci-fi.“10 to 20 years from now,there will certainly be people on Mars,” Petranek says.
“We’ve had the technology for 30 years to land people on Mars,but we haven’t had the will,” Petranek says.But two main factors have “completely swung public attitudes”.
The private companies’ participation has forced government agencies to speed up their game,and influential films such as Gravity and The Martian have caught people’s attention.
4.What do the underlined words “put them on hold” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A.Put them off.
B.Give them away.
C.Carry them through.
D.Take them seriously.
5.What can we infer about the show home from the text
A.It has no windows or doors due to security concern.
B.Its design presents the idea of environmental protection.
C.It has thick walls keeping the home under propel pressure.
D.Its underground passages connect all the buildings together.
6.According to Petranek,what has sped up the process of sending people to Mars
A.The development of related technology.
B.The competition from private companies.
C.The great influence of the Mars show home.
D.The popularity of influential books on Mars.
7.What is the best title for the text
A.Living on Mars:Possible or Not
B.Sending People to Mars:Yes or No
C.First-Ever Show Home:How Is It Made
D.Future Home on Mars:What Will It Be Like
Ⅵ.七选五
For years,Jessica and Eric have lived down the street from their favorite sandwich shop.Despite its being so close to home,they preferred to dine in,and always tipped generously when they did.But,during the pandemic in 2020,the cafe temporarily closed,then reopened—for takeout orders only.So their new routine became to order online,go pick up their food,and eat it at home. 1
That is,until the day they drove up and a waitress ran out to meet them.“I was wondering if I’m doing something wrong,because you never leave a tip,” she said.Eric attempted to explain:“Because we aren’t being waited on,we didn’t think tipping was necessary.” 2 “She stormed off,” Jessica says.
The pandemic has been particularly hard on people working for tips.Some haven’t been able to do their jobs at all,while others don’t interact with customers the same way. 3 Meanwhile,many customers felt the need to tip more because of the new risks and hardships that essential service workers suddenly faced.
“ 4 We were tipping based on emotion,and that may not have had anything to do with the service.And that service also became harder to assess,” says Toni Dupree,a professional etiquette(礼仪) coach.Some old standards no longer seem fair,and several newer ones will apply long after the pandemic is over.
Next time,in Dupree’s view,you’re unsure whether a tip is in order,follow this simple rule: 5 The novelist George Eliot asked,“What do we live for if not to make the world less difficult for each other ” Dupree adds:“Tipping well is one way to make things easier for someone else.”
A.When in doubt,tip.
B.That made it worse.
C.It is service itself that counts.
D.Tipping never crossed their minds.
E.To enjoy good services,tipping is a must.
F.Just as many services have changed,so should tipping.
G.Tips dried up in either case,causing a lot of people to suffer.

2.C 细节理解题。根据“Spray Painting”部分中的“All you need to do is provide plain white T-shirts and some cans of coloured spray paint.”可知,如果参加Spray Painting,需要准备纯白T恤和一些油漆。故选C项。

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。在未来,人类将有可能去火星居住,那里的房子有与地球上完全不同的构造和风格。文章主要描述了未来火星上的房子的样子。

5.B 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“It shows a house built using recycled spacecraft parts and Martian soil,called regolith,which has been microwaved into bricks.”可知,房屋的设计显示了环境保护的理念。故选B项。

2.B 根据下文“She stormed off”可知,在他们解释之后情况更糟糕了。B项“That made it worse.”与上下文一致,符合文意。
3.G 根据上文可知,上文提到两种情况:一种是“完全不能进行工作”,另一种是“不能以往常的方式与顾客交流”。所以选项在总结说明这两种情况都得不到小费。G项“Tips dried up in either case,causing a lot of people to suffer.”中的“in either case(无论哪种情况)”与之相呼应。
4.F 根据下文可知,这里讲的是给小费的方式。F项“Just as many services have changed,so should tipping.”引出了下文,与文意一致。
5.A 首先注意到这里填的是一个simple rule,字数应很少,以祈使句为佳。根据下文“Tipping well is one way to make things easier for someone else.”可知,本段号召人们给小费。A项“When in doubt,tip.”形式和意思都符合要求。

France
You don’t talk of France without saying the Eiffel Tower.At night,it gives the most unbelievable view of France.In order to avoid the long lines to the tower,book your trip earlier.For Catholics or historians,the Notre Dame and the places around it will surely attract you.
South Africa
One of the main cities to visit in South Africa is Johannesburg.It is known as the City of Gold,which is the heart of shopping,entertainment and adventure.An average of 250 miles from the city is the Kruger Park —the most fun game place in Africa.

I’ve been a volunteer in the Macmillan@Glasgow Libraries programme for just over a year.I got involved because I was looking for something to volunteer for after I retired from work.I thought being a Macmillan Cancer Information and Support volunteer might be a good way to do that by using some of the skills I learned at work.
At one time,I felt I made a real difference when a lady came in to use the service.She was very upset,but she was not the person with cancer.It was her partner.She had lots of things on her mind.We,together with a counselor,had a chat about her to help deal with all the emotions she felt.We knew we could arrange something,so we discussed with her what could be done for her family.She was relieved that we could get something arranged for her and liked the fact that we managed to get the ball rolling during her visit.
The good thing about having the services in the library is that the environment is non-clinical and therefore more relaxing than the hospital or doctor’s surgery.The team in the library are not medically trained.That means we do not use big words or medical terms very often.
It’s great that the people who volunteer all work well together,helping each other to get a resolution for people who come in.It’s good to have to team at the other end of the phone whenever we get something unusual.It is a pleasure to be able to help as a volunteer.
4.What can we infer about the author
A.He is a retired doctor.
B.He is volunteering in a hospital.
C.He is a counselor in cancer.
D.He has fought against cancer before.
5.Why did the lady feel upset
A.Because she was affected by cancer.
B.Because her husband suffered from cancer.
C.Because she didn’t know how to treat cancer.
D.Because she had a poor relation with her husband.
6.What do we know about the volunteers
A.They do well in teamwork.
B.They receive medical training.
C.They all used to be helped.
D.They often meet unusual things.
7.Why does the author write this text
A.To call on readers to do voluntary work.
B.To show us how to help those in trouble.
C.To share his experiences as a volunteer.
D.To teach us how to take care of cancer patients.
Ⅳ.七选五
Common Public Speaking Problems
The use of “I feel”“I think” and “maybe”
In the question-and-answer session of the speaking competition,many contestants began their answers with uncertain expressions like “I feel”“I guess”“I hear”“maybe” and “perhaps”.
These words show that the person is only speaking from his or her point of view. 1
Work on keeping your answers brief and to the point. 2 Instead of the empty-sounding “I guess”,using facts,together with a clear conclusion based on those facts,is far more likely to be popular with an audience.
Using only one speaking style
Don’t stick to the same tone. 3
For example,when they spoke about their dreams,some sounded romantic.Others used humour.Very few used several different styles together.Try mixing more than one style,rather than just sticking with the same one.
Irresponsible answers
Public speaking is different from personal conversations.You’re responsible for your words. 4 So you should think twice before you talk.Don’t be like the student who,when asked about his opinion on book piracy,started by saying he supported it.
Talking around the topic rather than directly answering it
You should focus on one point and give a clear solution.The key is to work out what question is being asked.Is it asking you to discuss a certain topic or to present your own point of view
Use one or two arguments together and give a strong conclusion. 5
A.It can be boring.Try to mix it up.
B.Even though you want to answer quickly,you don’t want to sound foolish.
C.Also work on delivering them with calmness and confidence.
D.Deliberate gestures and affected expressions of feelings are improper in a successful speech.
E.Remember that judges are not judging you on whether they agree but on your ability to say what you think clearly.
F.This lacks the support of facts and seems not to be reliable for the judges and audience.
G.Confidence is extremely important in public speaking as it lets a speaker sound more convincing.
