【題目】 For many, holiday celebrations mean large meals shared with family and friends, but such feasts can generate huge amounts of food waste, harming the environment and overusing natural resources—unless mindful merrymakers take steps to control the amount. 【1】

Be mindful of what you already have

Try keeping food in glass jars. Using this method, you can make all the food in your kitchen visible, easily remembered and consumed. 【2】. Nothing gets lost in the back of a shelf.

【3】

Stick to a planned holiday menu before heading to the grocery store. A clear idea of who will be gathered and exactly how much food to prepare will save a lot of tossing out later. Be mindful not just of how much to purchase, but the items themselves.

Use leftovers wisely

It may be impossible to get everyone into the clean plate club. 【4】 Freeze and repurpose leftovers by using them as basic ingredients for other recipes or send extras home with guests.

Keep track of the scraps（殘羹）

Along with turkey bones, use holiday scraps such as vegetables, meat and fish bones to make soup. For pet-safe dishes, allow your dog to clean plates before putting them in the dishwasher.

Consider composting（堆肥）

【5】 . These materials can be composted, which will keep them out of landfills, where they take up space and release methane, a potent greenhouse gas.

A.Shop smart

B.Plan a menu

C.That doesn't mean leftover food has to go waste

D.Some of your family or guests may not like the food

E.Following are some tips on reducing food waste during holidays

F.Organize your dry food on one row and use refrigerator drawers

G.Food scraps and yard waste make up more than 28 percent of waste

【答案】

【1】E

【2】F

【3】A

【4】C

【5】G

【解析】

本文是一篇說(shuō)明文，介紹了減少節(jié)日期間食物浪費(fèi)的幾點(diǎn)建議。

【1】空前說(shuō)對(duì)許多人來(lái)說(shuō)，節(jié)日慶祝意味著與家人和朋友共享大餐，但這樣的盛宴可能會(huì)造成大量的食物浪費(fèi)，下文又介紹了減少食物浪費(fèi)的建議，此處需要一個(gè)承上啟下的過(guò)渡句，既要對(duì)應(yīng)上文提到的食物浪費(fèi)話題，又要引出下文介紹的幾點(diǎn)建議，故E項(xiàng)（以下是一些減少節(jié)日期間食物浪費(fèi)的建議）符合語(yǔ)境。

【2】空前說(shuō)試著把食物放在玻璃罐里，使用這種方法，你可以使廚房里的所有食物都看得見(jiàn)，容易記住和食用，此處承接上文，講的還是關(guān)于如何擺放食物的話題，故F項(xiàng)（把你的干糧放在一排，還要使用冰箱的抽屜）符合語(yǔ)境。

【3】根據(jù)本段內(nèi)容，特別是根據(jù)第一句可知，在去雜貨店之前，堅(jiān)持按照計(jì)劃的假日菜單（買(mǎi)東西），因此本段主要講的是要聰明地購(gòu)物，故A項(xiàng)（聰明地購(gòu)物）符合語(yǔ)境。

【4】空后說(shuō)把剩菜冷凍起來(lái)以后用作其他菜的基本原料，或者把多余的食物送回家，因此此處是說(shuō)剩飯剩菜不一定非要浪費(fèi)掉，還可以再利用，故C項(xiàng)（這并不意味著吃剩的食物要被浪費(fèi)掉）符合語(yǔ)境。

【5】空后說(shuō)這些材料可以堆肥，這將使它們遠(yuǎn)離垃圾填埋場(chǎng)，因此此處應(yīng)該會(huì)提到垃圾，空后的These materials 指代的就是G項(xiàng)中的Food scraps and yard waste，故G項(xiàng)（食物殘?jiān)驮鹤永锏睦剂死偭康?/span>28%）符合語(yǔ)境。

過(guò)渡句的考查是七選五的常見(jiàn)考點(diǎn)，被選選項(xiàng)一定要起到承上啟下的過(guò)渡作用，例如本篇第1題，根據(jù)空前的“For many, holiday celebrations mean large meals shared with family and friends, but such feasts can generate huge amounts of food waste”可知，對(duì)許多人來(lái)說(shuō)，節(jié)日慶祝意味著與家人和朋友共享大餐，但這樣的盛宴可能會(huì)造成大量的食物浪費(fèi)，下文又介紹了減少節(jié)日期間食物浪費(fèi)的建議，此處需要一個(gè)承上啟下的過(guò)渡句，既要對(duì)應(yīng)上文提到的食物浪費(fèi)這一話題，又要引出下文介紹的幾點(diǎn)建議，故E項(xiàng)（以下是一些減少節(jié)日期間食物浪費(fèi)的建議）符合語(yǔ)境。

【題目】 Like clockwork, nearly every fourth February includes one extra day. February 29th, otherwise known as Leap Day, isn’t exactly a holiday. Instead, it’s there to keep your calendar consistent with the earth’s rotation (旋轉(zhuǎn)) around the sun.

According to History, com, Roman emperor Julius Caesar is the “father” of Leap Year. Until he came along, people used a 355-day calendar, which was 10.25 days shorter than the solar year. Roman officials were supposed add an extra month every now and then to keep the seasons exactly where they should be. But that didn’t work out all that well. When special occasions started shifting into different seasons around 45 BCE, Caesar consulted with astronomers and decreed (下令) that the empire should use a 12-month, 365-day calendar, which he named after himself, Caesar’s Julian calendar included a Leap Day every four years.

Though Leap Day keeps your calendar in line with the earth’s rotation around the sun, it causes a different kind of problem for leapsters. When should these February 29th babies celebrate their birthdays during the other three-quarters of their lives? Some party on February 28th, while others prefer a two-day celebration that spans the last day of February and the first day of March.

Leap Day can be a nuisance in the legal system. In 2006, a court in Massachusetts was deciding whether criminal John Melo could be released a day early since his 10-year sentence included a Leap Day. In the case, the judge decided that since the man was sentenced to prison for years, not days. Leap Day didn’t make a bit of difference.

Though a few timekeepers have pushed for calendars that don’t include Leap Day, almost all astronomers and societies agree that Leap Day is the best method to keep the calendar on track.

【1】Why was Leap Day created?

A.To celebrate special occasions.B.To honor Emperor Julius Caesar.

C.To keep pace with the solar year.D.To keep track of all the seasons.

【2】What is the problem with the birthday celebration of February 29th babies?

A.It is sometimes delayed.B.It lasts at least two days.

C.It has to be held every other year.D.It may take place on different dates.

【3】What does the underlined word “nuisance” in Paragraph 4 mean?

A.Joke.B.Topic.

C.Trouble.D.Mistake.

【4】what is the attitude of most astronomers towards Leap Day?

A.Critical.B.Supportive.

C.Doubtful.D.Cautious.

【題目】閱讀下面內(nèi)容，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容寫(xiě)一篇60詞左右的內(nèi)容概要。

Among all the fast growing science and technology, the research of human genes, or biological engineering as people call it, is drawing more and more attention now. Sometimes it is a hot topic discussed by people.

The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure serious diseases that doctors at present can almost do nothing with, such as cancer and heart disease. Every year, millions of people are murdered by these two killers. And to date, doctors have not found an effective way to cure them. But if the gene technology is applied, not only these two diseases can be cured completely, bringing happiness and more living days to the patients, but also the great amount of money people spend on curing their diseases can be saved, therefore it benefits the economy as well. In addition, human life span (壽命) can be prolonged.

Gene technology can help people to give birth to more healthy and clever children. Some families have hereditary diseases. This means their children will for sure have the family disease, which is a great trouble for these families. In the past, doctors could do nothing about hereditary diseases. But gene technology can solve this problem perfectly. The scientist just need to find the wrong gene and correct it, and a healthy child will be born.

Some people are worrying that the gene research can be used to manufacture human beings in large quantities. In the past few years, scientists have succeeded in cloning a sheep, therefore these people predict that human babies would soon be cloned. But I believe cloned babies will not come out in large quantities, for most couples in the world can have babies in very normal way and they also believe measures will be taken to control gene technology.

How to Think Outside the Box with Creativity Exercises

Encouraging creative thinking inspires students to ask questions, try new things and apply ideas to practical situations. Use individual and group based activities to open the door to innovation and build individual confidence. Incorporate creativity activities into everyday subject matter like English, science and art. The result will be increased interest in learning and the opportunity for each student to believe in her power to be creative in a variety of situations. Three creativity exercises are suggested as follows.

Use a mind-mapping exercise to help students overcome mind blocks to creativity.

Joyce Wycoff, author of the book “Mindmapping,” explains that a mind map encourages creativity by stimulating the brain to think in different patterns. Put a concept in the center of a large piece of paper and have your students surround the paper, each holding a marker. Ask them to brainstorm ideas and write them as offshoots (分支) to the concept. Have them add images and draw connections between ideas. You can use this to help them create a project, study for tests or organize a research paper.

Play a game of charades to empower students to use their minds and bodies to help their team win the game.

Select words that apply to a new topic you wish to introduce to the class. For example, if you want to discuss the history of your state, pick words that illustrate historical events your class will study. Divide the class into teams and ask volunteers to act out the words. Have students guess what the words are, and write the words on the board after students guess them correctly so they can see a complete list at the end of the game. Go back and forth between teams until all words have been used. When the game is over, ask the class to guess what the words have in common.

Invigorate (鼓舞) your students and stimulate creative thinking by facilitating a sentence relay race.

The goal of the race is to see which team can compose a sentence on a given subject. Begin by taping large pieces of paper to the wall and line up student teams about 5 feet from the wall. Give the teams one marker and a subject for the sentence. Tell them the object of the race is to build a sentence, one word at a time. The first student in each team will begin the sentence with a word. He will then run the marker to the next teammate and continue the process until each student has added a word to the sentence. The sentence relay will encourage quick thinking and stimulate creativity. Use the race to introduce a social studies concept or to reinforce the plot of a story for English class.
