Respect what you are eating

We all love food.But when you can't finish your meal,how do you feel?You might think that wasting a little bit of food isn't a big deal.

But when a whole school started to save food in their cafeteria(食堂),there was a big change.At Hengyang No.1 Middle School in Hunan Province,students are told to take no more food than they need. "There used to be 100 kg of food waste every day.But now,the amount(数量)of waste is down by 75 percent, "the cafeteria's manager told Hunan Evening Paper.

In China,people waste 35 million tons of food each year.That is enough to feed the whole country of South Korea for a year.

Food waste is a big problem around the world.According to the United Nations,there are 820 million people living in hunger(饥饿)today.But every year,the world waste 1.3 billion tons of food.That's one﹣third of all the food we have.

(1)Students in Hengyang No.1 Middle School are not allowed to waste food.    

(2)The food waste has dropped by three quarters in their school now.    

(3)Food waste is a big problem only in China.

阅读短文,根据短文内容,从下面各小题所给的四个备选项中,选出最佳选项.

What do you use to unlock your cellphone? A password? A fingerprint? Or simply a glance(一瞥)?

On September 12, 2017, Apple introduced its iPhone X, which has an eye﹣catching feature (特色)﹣Face ID.

With Face ID, Apple says, you can unlock your new iPhone by just looking atit. It is powered by a so﹣called TrueDepth camera system built into the front of the iPhone X.

When the camera system sees a person's face, it uses 30,000 unseen dots (点) to "'map"(勾画)the shape and outline of the face. A mathematical model of the face will then be created and stored (储存) in the phone.

The next time the person looks at the iPhone X, the same dots are mapped onto his or her face and compared to the stored model. If the two match, then the phone unlocks.

This happens in less than a second.

Apple says the system is smart. If you change your hairstyle, put on sunglasses or makeup, or use the phone in the dark, Face ID still works.

Although the technology sounds fancy, there are still concerns (担心). For example,will Face ID work for twins?

According to Apple, the chance of others to unlock your iPhone X using Face ID is one in a million. Face ID can tell the difference between twins, but the error rating (出错率) rises. So one would need to set a password then.

Apple also emphasizes (强调) that Face ID only unlocks when you stare atit. It is what Apple calls"attention aware (察觉)". So the phone won't unlock if you are just glancing at the phone for the time. It won't work either if someone puts the phone at your sleeping face or your photo.

(1)The new function (功能) of the iPhone X is that you can unlock it with   

A.

a sign

B.
C.

a password

D.
E.

a fingerprint

F.
G.

Face I

H.

(2)The camera system of Face ID works by   

A.

remembering users' faces by taking their pictures

B.

using a map to store face models of its users for later use

C.

matching the users' faces with unseen dots stored in the system

D.

creating a face model of the user and comparing it with the user's face later

(3)Face ID doesn't work when you   

A.

wear a mask

B.

put on sunglasses

C.

change your hairstyle

D.

use the iPhone X in the dark

(4)You would need to set a password to prevent   to unlock your iPhone X with Face ID.

A.

your parents

B.

your classmates

C.

your twin brother

D.

your best friend

(5)The main idea of the passage is that   

A.

the iPhone X can't recognize a person's face

B.

Face ID is a program to unlock the iPhone X

C.

people worry about the safety of using Face ID

D.

we can unlock the iPhone X in three different ways

In South Korea, many schools hire English teachers from abroad, but as you know, there are not so many English native teachers in South Korea. A team of engineers has created a robot that they hope will take the place of foreign teachers.

Robots will save schools money.The cost to build a robot and hire a Filipino teacher to work with it is around ﹩20,000 a year. That is about half the cost of supporting a foreign teacher in South Korea. What's more, robot teachers can make students have more fun learning English.

The robot teacher is called Engkey.She is about one meter tall and is white,egg﹣shaped.She takes a screen as her face. She can move around the classroom while speaking to students, reading books to them and dancing to music by moving her head and arms. So this robot is more than a video screen on wheels. But Engkey's voice is not her own. They are controlled by English teachers in the Philippines (菲律宾).There is a camera in each of the robot teachers. With the help of the camera, English teachers in the Philippines can see and hear the students.

Spark is a new type of drones (飞行器) made by a Chinese company (公司) in Shenzhen called DJI. It can help people take photos and videos. Spark might be the smallest drone ever made.

For example, if you wave (挥动) your hand from left to right, the drone will fly in the same direction. When you want it to land, you just put your hand out. The drone will come to you and land on your hand.

   ● Social Robot

Robots may not be good communicators. But Jibo, made by US company Jibo Inc, may be different. With a big, round head and round, fat body, Jibo looks like a cartoon character. As soon as you say, "Hey, Jibo." It will giggle(咯咯地笑), dance and turn to face you. When it talks to you, it moves its head and body naturally to communicate with you. Although it has no eyes or mouth, Jibo uses animated icons (生动的表情), such as a smile icon, to show emotions. Right now Jibo can only do some basic things, like taking photos or reading the news to you. But it may learn to do more in the future.

Most viruses can be found and killed by our immune system as soon as they enter our bodies.However,some viruses,for example,the coronavirus,are sneaky.They are difficult to recognize and find.These viruses can cause deadly diseases,like COVID﹣19.Human﹣to﹣human transmission can easily occur,and pandemic will therefore break out.Vaccination is by now a simple,safe and effective way to protect us from the diseases.

Vaccines are something that "looks" exactly the same as the viruses,mainly made from the viruses that are weakened or killed.They will not make us really ill.They only stimulate and activate our immune system to work,telling it something harmful is coming in.The immune system will know what the "viruses" look like,and send B cells(lymphocytes)or antibodies to find and kill them.Meanwhile,B cells will remember them for the next kill.A vaccine may also give us passive immunity by providing B cells taken from an animal or a human to play the same role.

Scientists have developed more than 180 vaccines to fight against COVID49.The technical approaches of these vaccines can be a little different,but their aims are the same.

Take the inactivated vaccine as an example.In an inactivated vaccine,the coronaviruses are already killed or made into the ones unable to produce more new viruses.When the immune system "sees" them,it will try to kill them.The question is:without enough these viruses• how can B cells remember them?That's why we need to take the vaccine more than one time.Though this vaccine is safe,it might not be as effective as it is expected to be.

The live﹣attenuated vaccine is different.In this vaccine,the viruses are weakened,but they are alive.They can produce enough new viruses to train the immune system to kill and remember them,so people only need to take the vaccine once.The live﹣attenuated vaccine is considered the most effective,but there is a worry:what might happen once these viruses wake up?

Therefore,although vaccination is by now one of the best ways to protect us from COVID﹣19,it can be better.

(1)The coronavirus can    .

A.

not be killed

B.

not be found

C.

cause deaths

D.

stop pandemic

(2)Which of the following can be the best topic sentence of Paragraph 2?    

A.

Vaccination can provide us with B cells.

B.

Vaccines are made from different viruses.

C.

Vaccination can prepare us against viruses.

D.

Vaccines won't make us ill as the viruses do.

(3)Compared to the inactivated vaccine,the live﹣attenuated vaccine    .

A.

needs taking more than once

B.

is equally safe

C.

contains viruses that are killed

D.

is more effective

(4)What can we learn from the passage?    

A.

Vaccination is good enough to treat COVID﹣19.

B.

The immune system can be more effective with vaccines.

C.

The viruses in inactivated vaccines can make new viruses.

D.

180 vaccines have been developed to fight against diseases.
