About 400 pounds of food is wasted per day from 5 pm to 8 pm in Douglass Dining Hall. “We scrape (刮掉) the food from the conveyor belt into the buckets by hand. Working for Dining Team Green, I don’t expect to basically become a garbage girl,” Roll said. “We do the work because we care much about it. We all have a responsibility to take care of the environment.”
To have more approachable composting(把……制成堆肥) machines on campus, Roll now has a new sustainable project investing in Lomi, an automated compost machine. “I learned about Lomi through an ad,” Roll said. “Funny enough, I just saw it and thought it perfect. It really interested me how the mechanism worked. ”
Lomi is a new technology that can break down food waste into natural compost. According to Roll, it breaks down waste in the way: grinding(碾碎) the food into plant fertilizer. Unlike most composting machines, Lomi can compost animal products, such as small bones. Another huge benefit is that it doesn’t have smell and can convert waste to compost in a shorter time.
Roll plans on using the compost in the Gilbert community garden so that Dining Team Green can give back to the community. “It’s very exciting to see our food waste that would otherwise have gone in the trash and pollute the environment go to our community,” she said.
Roll is excited to introduce a new form of composting to the residents. She hopes that this machine will inspire other composting machines in all residential buildings. “I want Lomi not only to be a way to reduce food waste on the floor, but an educational tool to make people compost in a real way and not just talk about it in a theoretical sense,” Roll said.

Definitions of adult learning vary, but it is usually defined as all forms of learning undertaken by adults after having left initial education and training, however far this process may have gone.
Education and training are important factors for achieving the strategy objectives of raising economic growth, competitiveness and social inclusion. However, with some exceptions, the process of implementing education and training remains weak. Most education and training systems are still largely focused on the education and training of young people and limited progress has been made in changing systems to mirror the need for learning throughout the lifespan.
An additional 4 million adults would need to participate in lifelong learning. Recent research confirms the importance of investing in adult learning. The research on adults indicates that those who engage in learning are healthier, with a consequent reduction in healthcare costs.
The big economic challenge in Europe is to raise its growth and employment performance while preserving social cohesion(凝聚力). The rapid progress in other regions of the world shows the importance of creative, advanced and quality education and training as key factors of economic competitiveness. General levels of competence must increase, both to meet the needs of the labour market and to allow citizens to function well in today's society.
Europe is facing big demographic(人口的) changes that will have a major impact on society and on the economy and consequently on education and training provision and needs. Over the next 30 years, the number of younger Europeans will fall by 15%. One in three Europeans will be over 60 years old, and about one in ten will be over 80.
Given the challenges identified above, raising the overall level of skills of the adult population by offering more and better learning opportunities throughout adult life is important for both efficiency and equity reasons. Not only does lifelong learning help make adults more efficient workers and more active citizens, it also contributes to their personal well-being.
8．Which can replace the underlined word “implementing” in paragraph 2
A. Carrying out. B. Taking in. C. Knowing about. D. Looking over.
9．What can we learn from the research
A. Adults have reduced healthcare costs.
B. Learning is good for adults’ health.
C. Few adults need to receive learning.
D. More research will focus on learning.
10．What problem does Europe face according to the text
A. Europeans are not healthy. B. Many old Europeans have died.
C. The European population is aging. D. Young Europeans are out of work.
11．What does the author want to express in the last paragraph
A. Lifelong learning is essential.
B. Raising adult population is significant.
C. We should help more efficient workers.
D. Work contributes to personal well-being.
An inability to stand on one leg for 10 seconds in later life is linked to nearly double the risk of death from any cause within the next decade, according to a new study. The simple balance test may be useful to be included in routine physical exams for people in middle and old age, the research, which was published in British Journal of Sports Medicine, suggested.
While aging leads to a decline in physical fitness, muscle strength and flexibility, balance tends to be reasonably well-preserved until a person’s 50s, when it starts to decline relatively rapidly, the research noted. Previous research has linked the inability to stand on one leg to a greater risk of falls and to cognitive decline.
The study involved 1,702 people aged 51 to 75 living in Brazil, who were asked to balance unsupported on one leg during an initial check. Researchers told the participants to place the front of the free foot behind the standing leg, keep their arms by their sides and eyes. Fixed straight ahead. Up to three attempts on either foot were permitted.
The study participants had an average age of 61 and two-thirds of them were men. Around 1 in 5 failed to balance on one leg for 10 seconds at the initial checkup. Researchers monitored the participants after the initial checkup for a period of seven years, during which 7% of the people died. The proportion (比例)of deaths among those who failed the test (17.5%) was significantly higher than deaths among those who were able to balance for 10 seconds(4.5%).
The research was observational and didn’t reveal cause and effect. The study didn’t look at any possible biological mechanisms that might explain the link between poor balance and longevity.
The study noted that, overall, those who failed the test were in poorer health, with greater proportion of suffering from obesity, heart disease and high blood pressure. Diabetes was also more common among those who failed to complete the test.
12．What did the participants take during the research
A. Vision examinations. B. Medical examinations.
C. Flexibility tests. D. Balance tests.
13．How did the researchers get the findings
A. By calculating the participant numbers.
B. By comparing the participants’ lifetime.
C. By identifying the participants’ diseases.
D. By monitoring the participants’ pressure.
14．What was the research’s shortcoming
A. It had few participants. B. It didn’t last very long.
C. It lacked in-depth study. D. It was the first research on balance.
15．What may be the best title for the text
A. Balance determines a person’s lifetime
B. The balance test should be promoted to people
C. The ability to stand on one leg can reflect health levels
D. Being able to stand for 10 seconds means being healthy
二、七选五

5．答案：D
解析：主旨大意题。根据第三段“According to Roll, it breaks down waste in the way: grinding(碾碎)the food into plant fertilizer. Unlike most composting machines, Omi can compost animal products, such as small bones. Another huge benefit is that it doesn’t have smell and can convert waste to compost in a shorter time.”(根据Roll的说法，它通过这样的方式来分解废物:将食物研磨成植物肥料。与大多数堆肥机不同，Omi可以堆肥动物产品，如小骨头；另一个巨大的好处是它没有气味，可以在更短的时间内将废物转化为堆肥。)可知，第三段主要讲述了Lomi的优点。故选D。
6．答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段“I want Lomi not only to be a way to reduce food waste on the floor, but an educational tool to make people compost in a real way and not just talk about it in a theoretical sense,”(我希望Lomi不仅是一种减少食物浪费的方式，而且是一种教育工具，让人们真正地堆肥，而不仅仅是在理论上谈论它。)可知，Roll可能是希望Lomi能够教育人们积极地、用实际行动去堆肥，让更多的人参与到堆肥计划中。故选A。

13．答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段“Researchers monitored the participants after the initial checkup for a period of seven years, during which 7% of the people died. The proportion（比例） of deaths among those who failed the test (17. 5%) was significantly higher than deaths among those who were able to balance for 10 seconds(4. 5%).”（研究人员在最初的体检后对参与者进行了七年的监测，在此期间，7%的人死亡，未通过测试者(17.5%)的死亡率明显高于那些能够保持10秒平衡的人(4.5%)。）可知， 研究者们通过对比参与者们的寿命来得出了研究结论。故选B。

About 400 pounds of food is wasted per day from 5 pm to 8 pm in Douglass Dining Hall. “We scrape (刮掉) the food from the conveyor belt into the buckets by hand. Working for Dining Team Green, I don’t expect to basically become a garbage girl,” Roll said. “We do the work because we care much about it. We all have a responsibility to take care of the environment.”
To have more approachable composting(把……制成堆肥) machines on campus, Roll now has a new sustainable project investing in Lomi, an automated compost machine. “I learned about Lomi through an ad,” Roll said. “Funny enough, I just saw it and thought it perfect. It really interested me how the mechanism worked. ”
Lomi is a new technology that can break down food waste into natural compost. According to Roll, it breaks down waste in the way: grinding(碾碎) the food into plant fertilizer. Unlike most composting machines, Lomi can compost animal products, such as small bones. Another huge benefit is that it doesn’t have smell and can convert waste to compost in a shorter time.
Roll plans on using the compost in the Gilbert community garden so that Dining Team Green can give back to the community. “It’s very exciting to see our food waste that would otherwise have gone in the trash and pollute the environment go to our community,” she said.
Roll is excited to introduce a new form of composting to the residents. She hopes that this machine will inspire other composting machines in all residential buildings. “I want Lomi not only to be a way to reduce food waste on the floor, but an educational tool to make people compost in a real way and not just talk about it in a theoretical sense,” Roll said.
4．Which of the following can best describe Lomi
A.Elegant. B.Widespread.
C.Low-powered. D.Environmentally friendly.

Definitions of adult learning vary, but it is usually defined as all forms of learning undertaken by adults after having left initial education and training, however far this process may have gone.
Education and training are important factors for achieving the strategy objectives of raising economic growth, competitiveness and social inclusion. However, with some exceptions, the process of implementing education and training remains weak. Most education and training systems are still largely focused on the education and training of young people and limited progress has been made in changing systems to mirror the need for learning throughout the lifespan.
An additional 4 million adults would need to participate in lifelong learning. Recent research confirms the importance of investing in adult learning. The research on adults indicates that those who engage in learning are healthier, with a consequent reduction in healthcare costs.
The big economic challenge in Europe is to raise its growth and employment performance while preserving social cohesion(凝聚力). The rapid progress in other regions of the world shows the importance of creative, advanced and quality education and training as key factors of economic competitiveness. General levels of competence must increase, both to meet the needs of the labour market and to allow citizens to function well in today's society.
Europe is facing big demographic(人口的) changes that will have a major impact on society and on the economy and consequently on education and training provision and needs. Over the next 30 years, the number of younger Europeans will fall by 15%. One in three Europeans will be over 60 years old, and about one in ten will be over 80.
Given the challenges identified above, raising the overall level of skills of the adult population by offering more and better learning opportunities throughout adult life is important for both efficiency and equity reasons. Not only does lifelong learning help make adults more efficient workers and more active citizens, it also contributes to their personal well-being.
8．Which can replace the underlined word “implementing” in paragraph 2
A. Carrying out. B. Taking in. C. Knowing about. D. Looking over.
9．What can we learn from the research
A. Adults have reduced healthcare costs.
B. Learning is good for adults’ health.
C. Few adults need to receive learning.
D. More research will focus on learning.
10．What problem does Europe face according to the text
A. Europeans are not healthy. B. Many old Europeans have died.
C. The European population is aging. D. Young Europeans are out of work.
11．What does the author want to express in the last paragraph
A. Lifelong learning is essential.
B. Raising adult population is significant.
C. We should help more efficient workers.
D. Work contributes to personal well-being.
An inability to stand on one leg for 10 seconds in later life is linked to nearly double the risk of death from any cause within the next decade, according to a new study. The simple balance test may be useful to be included in routine physical exams for people in middle and old age, the research, which was published in British Journal of Sports Medicine, suggested.
While aging leads to a decline in physical fitness, muscle strength and flexibility, balance tends to be reasonably well-preserved until a person’s 50s, when it starts to decline relatively rapidly, the research noted. Previous research has linked the inability to stand on one leg to a greater risk of falls and to cognitive decline.
The study involved 1,702 people aged 51 to 75 living in Brazil, who were asked to balance unsupported on one leg during an initial check. Researchers told the participants to place the front of the free foot behind the standing leg, keep their arms by their sides and eyes. Fixed straight ahead. Up to three attempts on either foot were permitted.
The study participants had an average age of 61 and two-thirds of them were men. Around 1 in 5 failed to balance on one leg for 10 seconds at the initial checkup. Researchers monitored the participants after the initial checkup for a period of seven years, during which 7% of the people died. The proportion (比例)of deaths among those who failed the test (17.5%) was significantly higher than deaths among those who were able to balance for 10 seconds(4.5%).
The research was observational and didn’t reveal cause and effect. The study didn’t look at any possible biological mechanisms that might explain the link between poor balance and longevity.
The study noted that, overall, those who failed the test were in poorer health, with greater proportion of suffering from obesity, heart disease and high blood pressure. Diabetes was also more common among those who failed to complete the test.
12．What did the participants take during the research
A. Vision examinations. B. Medical examinations.
C. Flexibility tests. D. Balance tests.
13．How did the researchers get the findings
A. By calculating the participant numbers.
B. By comparing the participants’ lifetime.
C. By identifying the participants’ diseases.
D. By monitoring the participants’ pressure.
14．What was the research’s shortcoming
A. It had few participants. B. It didn’t last very long.
C. It lacked in-depth study. D. It was the first research on balance.
15．What may be the best title for the text
A. Balance determines a person’s lifetime
B. The balance test should be promoted to people
C. The ability to stand on one leg can reflect health levels
D. Being able to stand for 10 seconds means being healthy

4．答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段“Lomi is a new technology that can break down food waste into natural compost. ”(Lomi是一种可以将食物垃圾分解成天然堆肥的新技术。)可知，Lomi将食物垃圾分解成天然堆肥，避免了食物垃圾对环境的污染，有着环保作用。故选D。
5．答案：D
解析：主旨大意题。根据第三段“According to Roll, it breaks down waste in the way: grinding(碾碎)the food into plant fertilizer. Unlike most composting machines, Omi can compost animal products, such as small bones. Another huge benefit is that it doesn’t have smell and can convert waste to compost in a shorter time.”(根据Roll的说法，它通过这样的方式来分解废物:将食物研磨成植物肥料。与大多数堆肥机不同，Omi可以堆肥动物产品，如小骨头；另一个巨大的好处是它没有气味，可以在更短的时间内将废物转化为堆肥。)可知，第三段主要讲述了Lomi的优点。故选D。
6．答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段“I want Lomi not only to be a way to reduce food waste on the floor, but an educational tool to make people compost in a real way and not just talk about it in a theoretical sense,”(我希望Lomi不仅是一种减少食物浪费的方式，而且是一种教育工具，让人们真正地堆肥，而不仅仅是在理论上谈论它。)可知，Roll可能是希望Lomi能够教育人们积极地、用实际行动去堆肥，让更多的人参与到堆肥计划中。故选A。

解析：词义猜测题。根据画线部分下文的进一步解释“Most education and training systems are still largely focused on the education and training of young people and limited progress has been made in changing systems to mirror the need for learning throughout the lifespan.(大多数教育和培训制度仍然主要侧重于年轻人的教育和培训，在改变制度以反映整个生命周期的学习需求方面进展有限。)”可知，大多数教育系统都在关注年轻人，而关于终身教育的系统却没取得什么进步，即，实施教育和培训的进程仍然薄弱。由此可推知，“implementing”意为“执行，实施”含义， 相当于“carrying out”。故选A项。
9．答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段内容“The research on adults indicates that those who engage in learning are healthier, with a consequent reduction in healthcare costs.(对成年人的研究表明，积极学习的人更健康，因此医疗成本也会降低。)”可知, 那些参与学习的成年人更加健康。故选B项。

12．答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段“The study involved 1,702 people aged 51 to 75 living in Brazil, who were asked to balance unsupported on one leg during an initial check.”（这项研究涉及了1702名生活在巴西的51岁至75岁的人，他们被要求在最初的检查中单腿保持平衡。）可知，参与者们在这项研究中做了平衡能力的测试。故选D。
13．答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段“Researchers monitored the participants after the initial checkup for a period of seven years, during which 7% of the people died. The proportion（比例） of deaths among those who failed the test (17. 5%) was significantly higher than deaths among those who were able to balance for 10 seconds(4. 5%).”（研究人员在最初的体检后对参与者进行了七年的监测，在此期间，7%的人死亡，未通过测试者(17.5%)的死亡率明显高于那些能够保持10秒平衡的人(4.5%)。）可知， 研究者们通过对比参与者们的寿命来得出了研究结论。故选B。

32．答案：①which②was listed③its④originally⑤as⑥length⑦to offer⑧greedy⑨or⑩wonders
解析：①考查定语从句。句意：作为中国古代文明的象征，长城是世界上最古老、最壮丽的人造景观之一，有着悠久的历史。分析句子结构和意思可知，1 has a long history是非限制性定语从句，先行词是the Great Wall，指物，在从句中作主语，用which引导。故填which。
②考查谓语动词。句意：鉴于其卓越的建筑成就和显著的历史影响，长城于1987年被列为联合国教科文组织世界文化遗产，是中国第一个被列为世界文化遗产的长城。分析句子结构和意思可知，句中有时间状语in1987，此处应该用一般过去时，the Great Wall和动词list构成了逻辑上的动宾关系，所以本空要用一般过去时的被动语态，be动词用was。故填was listed。
③考查代词。句意：见第2题详解。分析句子结构和意思可知，这里需要用形容词性物主代词，修饰后面的名词kind，the first of its kind in China意为“中国的第一个此类项目”。故填its。
④考查副词。句意：长城始建于2000多年前的西周时期，是一座功能强大的军事防御工事。分析句子结构和意思可知，本空要用副词originally来修饰谓语动词was built。故填originally。
⑤考查动词短语。句意：见第4题详解。分析句子结构和意思可知，这里考查动词短语serve as，意为“用作，充当”。故填as。
⑥考查名词。句意：因为它的长度是21196.18公里，因此，它被广泛命名为“万里长城”。分析句子结构和意思可知，本空应该填long的名词形式，作主语。故填length。
⑦考查非谓语动词。句意：长城是一个历史悠久的地方，有很多东西可以提供给你。分析句子结构和意思可知，have sth. to do是常见用法，意为“为某事要被做”，这里动词不定式用主动形式表达变动的意思。故填to offer。
⑧考查形容词。句意：对于那些对它着迷并渴望了解它的人来说，你会发现关于它、历史发展、背景故事以及它的事实和数字的大量信息。分析句子结构和意思可知，本空需要填形容词greedy，和前面的are构成系表结构。故填greedy。
⑨考查连词。句意：无论你是热爱历史的旅行者还是自然景观的爱好者，你都不会厌倦世界七大奇迹之一的长城。分析句子结构和意思可知，whether…or…是常见结构，意为“不管……还是……”。故填or。
⑩考查名词的数。句意：见第9题详解。分析句子结构和意思可知，one of the+复数名词是常见用法，意为“……之一”。故填wonders。
