(2022秋·上海·高一校考期中)China and India are Rebuilding the Green World
Over the last two decades, the Earth has seen an increase in foliage (植物) around the planet, measured in average leaf area per year on plants and trees. Data from NASA satellites (卫星) shows that China and India-two 1 economies with the world’s biggest populations-are 2 the increase in greening on and. The effect comes mostly from 3 tree-planting programs in China and intensive agriculture (精耕细作) in both countries.
Researchers from Boston University found that global green leaf area has increased by five percent since the early 2000s, an area 4 to the entire Amazon rainforest.(亚马逊热带雨林) The study was also published in the journal Nature Sustainability on February 11. It revealed that at least 25 percent of the global plant 5 this century came in China.
“China and India 6 one-third of the greening, but contain only nine percent of the planets land area covered in vegetation,” said lead author Chi Chen of Boston University. “That is a surprising finding, considering the general idea of land degradation (退化) in populous (人口多) countries from 7 .”
China’s 8 contribution to the global greening trend came in large part from programs to protect and expand forests, accounting for about 42 percent of the greening contribution. These programs were developed in an effort to 9 the effects of air pollution, soil erosion and climate change.
Another 32 percent of the greening change in China, and 82 percent in India, resulted from intensive 10 of food crops. The land area used to grow crops in China and India has not changed much since the early 2000s.

(2022秋·上海徐汇·高一上海市徐汇中学校考期中)People are looking for ways to reduce their carbon footprint. Purchasing property that is environmentally responsible is a good investment for those who are 11 their own health and the well-being of the earth. Based on this trend, eco-communities are being designed with a green 12 in mind. Dockside Green in Victoria, British Columbia is one of them.
If everything goes according to plan, Dockside Green will be a 13 community along the harbor front of British Columbia’s capital city. The community will be home to 2,500 people and will 14 residential, office, and retail space. Builders of Dockside Green have the environment in mind with every choice they make. They ensure proper ventilation (通风), and guarantee residents 100% fresh indoor air. Building materials, such as paints and wood, are 15 and non-poisonous. Eco-conscious builders use bamboo wherever possible because it grows fast and does not require 16 to grow.
Energy efficiency is one of the 17 concerns in eco-communities, such as Dockside Green. Not only do energy-efficient appliances and light fixtures (照明设备) reduce the environmental 18 of heating and hot water, but they also save residents and business owners money. Dockside Green claims that homeowners will use 55% less energy than average residents in Canada. Residents will have individual water metres (水表) 19 studies show that people use around 20% less energy when they are billed for exactly what they use. 20 , water is treated at Dockside Green and reused for flushing toilets.
Planners of eco-communities such as Dockside Green must take the 21 into consideration. Dockside Green plans on reusing 90% of its construction waste. They also plan to continue using local suppliers for all of their transport and maintenance needs. This is a great way to reduce 22 .
Dockside residents will be encouraged to take advantage of a mini transport system and buy into the community’s car share program. Finally, plans are underway for a high-tech heating system that will use 23 energy instead of fossil fuels.
Dockside residents will 24 excellent local services with high-quality healthcare, shopping and education at the heart of the community, along with excellent leisure facilities and plentiful green open spaces. Eco-communities will prefer the use of locally-sourced goods and services; they will be 25 places to live, promoting a sense of civic pride, responsibility and, as the name suggests, community.

ZOOOOOOOOM!!! A gust of air, the hum of spinning wheels, and a flash of color whizzing past. I’m sure that we have all stepped into the crosswalk, at one time or another, and experienced this sudden, heart-stopping 26 . I am, of course, referring to delivery drivers 27 through crossroads to deliver takeaway food.
Over the past few years, delivery drivers have been criticized, fined, and even 28 for breaking traffic laws across China. Delivery drivers often 29 red lights, disregard speed limits, and pay little attention to pedestrian crossings. But they also often pay the 30 price — each year, it seems like fatal injuries involving delivery drivers are increasing. 31 , since delivery drivers are usually poorly paid, how much blame do they really deserve for running against the clock
Well, it 32 to be a complicated issue. Recently an article titled “Delivery Drivers, Stuck in the System” was shared widely on social media. According to the article, 33 between delivery services Ele.me and Meituan has caused each app to take increasingly extreme measures to out-do(超过) the other. This has included the shortening of delivery time windows. It has been 34 , in part, through a combination of rewards for early delivery and severe punishments for late delivery. Over time, the platforms have only increased these 35 on drivers. As a result, drivers find themselves in a dilemma(左右两难的困境):break traffic laws or, in some cases, lose hundreds of yuan in earnings for late deliveries.
According to surveys and reactions online, 36 care much whether their deliveries are a few minutes late, while most believe that it is not worth risking someone’s life for. In response, Ele.me and Meituan have added a combination of features to 37 delivery times for slow elevators or bad weather conditions.
Although these new 38 cannot solve the underlying problems of intense competition or the inherent dangers of driving, they should, in some measure, start reducing some of the pressure on drivers. In the meantime, as 39 , we can help to make life for delivery riders safer and easier. 40 , be a considerate person and don’t leave them waiting for too long. If you see a food delivery guy rushing toward you on an escalator or into a door, consider standing back and letting him go first. After all, they are putting their lives on the line just to deliver our food.

(2022秋·上海·高一上海市晋元高级中学校考期中)For people who just can’t seem to pass up the candy in a supermarket checkout line, perhaps grocery shopping online could help reduce these impulse purchases, a new study suggests.
The findings are preliminary (初步的), and more research is needed to confirm the results, but the study suggests that online grocery shopping could help people 41 a healthy diet, said lead study author Jaime Coffino, a public health researcher at the University at Albany, State University of New York.
Previous research shows that people who are more impulsive (冲动的) may be 42 than less impulsive people, Coffino told Live Science. In a grocery store, that impulsiveness could lead to a shopping cart filled with 43 food.
The new study looked at 60 college students who filled out questionnaires that 44 their levels of impulsiveness as well as how they respond to the presence of food. The students were then told they had $48.50 for grocery shopping, and were asked to fill an online shopping cart with “nutritious, 45 and tasty” foods.
When Coffino 46 the nutritional value of all the food in each person’s online shopping cart, she found that there was no link between the foods a person chose and how impulsive the person was.
“It didn’t 47 how impulsive a person was,” Coffino said. “The nutritional 48 didn’t vary.”
Online grocery shopping could one day serve as a type of dietary intervention (饮食干预), Coffino said. Often, when people buy groceries online, they need to search for each item they want, as 49 to strolling through a store and saying, for example, “Oh, those chips look good.” Online, more planning and thought is needed. 50 , online grocery shopping makes people more aware of how much money they’re spending. It could keep them from adding impulsive 51 to their carts, Coffino said.
She noted that the study has 52 — for example, no control group was used — and much more research is needed. Future studies could compare online grocery shopping to in-store grocery shopping, she said.

(2022秋·上海·高一复旦附中校考期中)Experts often tell students to put their efforts on a narrow field to get a job after school. But recent research into Nobel Prize winners suggests that wider interests are 53 .
One of the winners of the 2022 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was Danish scientist Morten Meldal. When describing his career, Meldal said he 54 as an engineer but changed to chemistry because, he “wanted to understand the world”. Meldal’s experience and the way he sees things may come as a(n) 55 to students. They might believe they have to 56 their work and school lives in one field to be successful. But a study from professors at Michigan State University 57 that belief. They said that many Nobel Prize winners can be described as “polymaths,” those who have many 58 interests in both their work and personal lives.
The professors looked at past Nobel Prize winners and their students. They decided that when 59 of winners go on to win Nobel Prizes, some of what they learned from their teachers is how to live a life with many interests. They are, in a way, learning how to be 60 .
Having many interests 61 scientists to look for innovative ways to address problems. In fact, one important part of science is not discovering answers, but 62 problems that need to be settled. For example, Alexis Carrel won his Nobel Prize in medicine in 1912 by 63 techniques he learned from the clothing business. He realized that people who used thread to make and fix clothing had a skill that could be used in 64 to put new organs into people’s bodies. One winner in medicine — Christiane Nusslein-Volhard — once told young scientists to avoid following the “ 65 ” and move out of their study areas to be independent and original.
66 , the Michigan State professors found that most professionals are not like the prize-winners. The prize-winners are special in that they 67 look for the chances to learn new things, even outside of their jobs.

(2022秋·上海·高一华师大二附中校考期中)Researchers continue to show the power behind our sense of smell. Recent studies have found, among other things, that the smell of foods like pizza can cause uncontrollable anger in 68 on roads.
The review explains that smell is unique in its effect on the 69 . According to Conrad King, the researcher who carried out the review, “more than any other senses, the sense of smell goes through the logical part of the brain and acts on the systems concerned with 70 . This is why the smell of baking bread can 71 the best intentions of one going on a diet.”
Smell, which reveals the unbelievable 72 of food tastes, has always been the least understood of our senses. Our noses are able to detect up to 10,000 73 smells. Our ability to smell and taste this extremely large range of smells is controlled by something like 1, 000 genes, which make up an amazing 3% of the human genome (基因组). Researchers Richard Axel and Linda Buck were together awarded a Nobel Prize in 2004 for their ground-breaking research on the 74 of this extraordinary sense. These two scientists were the first to describe the family of 1,000 olfactory (嗅觉的) genes and to explain how our olfactory system works.
According to one study in the research review, smelling fresh pizza or even the packaging of fast foods can be enough to make drivers feel 75 with other road users. They are then more likely to speed and experience uncontrollable anger on roads. The most reasonable explanation is that these can all make drivers feel hungry, and therefore 76 to satisfy their appetites.
77 , the smells of peppermint and cinnamon were shown to improve concentration levels as well as reduce drivers’ impatience. 78 , the smells of lemon and coffee appeared to promote clear thinking and mental focus.
However, the way that genes 79 smell differs from person to person. A study by researchers in Israel has identified at least 50 olfactory genes which are 80 in some people and not in others. They believe this may 81 why some of us love some smells and tastes while others hate them. The Israel researchers say their study shows that nearly every human being shows a 82 pattern of active and inactive smell-detecting receptors.

One of the six promises proposed by an environmental campaign launched last month, The Jump, is to “holiday 90 ”, taking short-distance flights once every three years and long-distance flights very rarely. Fortunately, the UK’s 15 national parks, 86 areas of outstanding natural beauty and countless other landscapes mean that there is no 91 of special places for domestic nature tourists to visit.

(2022秋·上海·高一上海市建平中学校考期中)The old 1986 truck was a gift from his grandfather. It worked, but it was large and inconvenient. So it was not an ideal vehicle for Ian Cheney’s 98 inner-city neighborhood in New York. Many New Yorkers would look at the truck and think of a rubbish dump. Ian Cheney looked at his grandfather’s truck and thought of a (n) 99 .
As in other large cities, there are not many places to grow food in New York. Yet Cheney wanted a vegetable garden. Many urban farmers in New York have found 100 ways to grow vegetables. There are rooftop gardens high above the city. There are community gardens in old parking lots. There is even a (n) 101 garden in the Hudson River. Cheney, however, didn’t 102 any of these. So the old truck was a (n) 103 solution. The back of the truck provided him with the 104 he needed. “Since I don’t have a rooftop to grow any food,” Cheney explains. “It seemed like the logical thing to do.”
So Cheney 105 to work. First, he drilled holes in the truck bed for drainage—allowing water to pass through the bed. Then he laid down a recycled plastic mat. The soil came next. He made sure that everything was organic. Cheney 106 organic because he wanted to grow vegetables without chemicals. Then he planted lettuce, herbs, spinach, and tomatoes. Finally, he watered and waited.
When the food was ready to pick, Cheney drove the truck from one urban neighborhood to another. He 107 some of the vegetables. He sold the rest to friends and neighbors. Everywhere he parked, passersby stopped and talked about the beautiful vegetable garden in the back of the truck.
Cheney is 108 about food. He strongly believes that people are better off eating more local food, because it reduces economic and environmental 109 . There is also the question of nutrition. Less nutritional benefits of vegetables 110 over time. So eating food within a few days of harvesting is healthier for you.
Cheney knows that his truck cannot solve the problem of the lack of fresh food in all neighborhoods. Yet, like rooftop gardens, it could be part of the solution. Cheney continues to plant his truck and drive it around New York neighborhoods. He hopes that fresh and healthy food can be 111 in more places, including inner-city areas. As Cheney says, “If we can grow food in the back of a 1986 Dodge pickup, we can 112 find better ways to grow more fresh produce.”

(2022秋·上海·高一上海市进才中学校考期中)Processed foods like chips, soda and frozen pizzas are full of salt, sugar and fat. Now scientists are trying to understand if there is something else about such foods that may be bad for humans. Scientists have already linked low-cost, 113 foods to rising obesity rates around the world. Three recent studies offer more 114 into how our increasingly industrialized food supply may be affecting our health.
What does processed food mean
The researchers created a system that 115 foods into four groups. The system says highly processed foods are made 116 of industrialized materials and additives. Sodas, packaged cookies, instant noodles and chicken nuggets are some examples of highly processed foods. But also included are products that can 117 healthy, such as morning cereals, energy bars and some kinds of yogurt.
What’s wrong with processed foods
Researchers at the National Institutes of Health conducted a four-week study involving 20 people. They found that people eat about 500 more calories a day when 118 mostly processed foods. That is compared with when the 119 subjects were given less processed foods. The researchers permitted the 20 participants to eat as much or as little as they wanted. They were taken to a medical center so their health and behavior could be 120 .
In another study, researchers in France found people who ate more processed foods were more likely to have heart disease. 121 , a similar study in Spain linked eating more processed foods to a higher risk of death in general.
What is it about processed foods
When given less processed foods, people in the study 122 more of a hormone that controls hunger, and less of a hormone that causes hunger. The reason for the 123 is not clear. The scientists also found that people ate processed foods more quickly.
Kevin Hall is one of the researchers who led the study. He told the AP that processed foods are usually softer and easier to chew and swallow. Hall noted the source of nutrients might 124 . For example, fiber from whole fruits and vegetables may be better for making people feel 125 than fiber added to packaged foods such as energy bars and yogurt.
What should you eat
Avoiding processed foods can be hard, 126 for people with limited time and money. Processed foods can also take many forms. In addition, companies continually 127 products to make them seem healthier. The newest studies may provide more reasons to avoid processed foods. But, they also call attention to the difficulty of coming up with ways to do that.

(2022秋·上海·高一上海市光明中学校考期中)A screen door (纱门) allows for an open view while at the same time affording a degree of privacy. 128 , communication between parents and their child away at college should have openness in expressing viewpoints but, at the same time, it should demonstrate a respect for privacy. Staying in touch with each other is important because without 129 , there is no connection and worry can take over. All involved should try to be 130 in listening to, understanding and dealing with special concerns or needs that arise whether they be from the student, parents or friends.
For the happy student adjusting well at school, calls to home can be infrequent. This is not necessarily a cause for parents to worry. While parents are naturally 131 about what their child is up to, the majority of students are busy getting 132 to their new home, making new friends and 133 to new schedules and activities. The fact is that without any ill intention on purpose, they can spend little time thinking about home and they may not appreciate the degree of their parents’ 134 curiosity.
For the student who is not adjusting well at school, calls to home will probably be made more 135 . This circumstance can bring a 136 period for both parent and child. For the parents at home, it can be terribly 137 to sense their child is unhappy. It is difficult to judge how we should react to this challenge: as 138 , we want to bring our children home to the safety of our nest; in our parent-teacher role, we want to 139 the ties and allow our child the opportunity to make it on his/her own.
For the student away at school, unhappiness can be lonely and frightening and in some cases, it can lead to depression and illness. There is a sense of 140 for some homesick students who fear that Mom and Dad will 141 their inability to cope with the new environment. This is especially true when the homesick one sees classmates adjusting somewhat effortlessly.

(2022秋·上海·高一华东师范大学第一附属中学校考期中)Why College Is Not Home
The college years are supposed to be a time for important growth in autonomy (自主性) and the development of adult identity. However, now they are becoming a(n) 143 period of adolescence, during which many of today’s students are not shouldered with adult responsibilities.
For previous generations, college was decisive 144 from parental control; guidance and support needed came from people of the same age and from within. In the past two decades, 145 , continued connection with a dependence on family, thanks to cell phones, email and social media, have 146 significantly. Some parents go so far as to help with coursework. Instead of promoting the idea of college as a(n) 147 from the shelter of the family to autonomy and adult responsibility, 148 have given in to the idea that they should provide the same environment as that of the home.
To prepare for increased autonomy and responsibility, college needs to be a time of exploration and 149 . This process involves “trying on” new ways of thinking about oneself both 150 and personally. While we should provide “safe spaces” within colleges, we must also make it 151 to express opinions and challenge majority views. Intellectual growth and flexibility are fostered on debate and questioning.
Learning to deal with the 152 world is equally important. Because college community (群里) differs from the family, many students will struggle to find a sense of 153 . If students rely on administrators to regulate their social behavior and thinking pattern, they are not facing the challenge of finding a(n) 154 within a larger and complex community.
Moreover, the tendency for universities to monitor and shape student behavior 155 another characteristic of young adults: the response to being controlled by elders. If acceptable social behavior is too strictly defined (规定) and controlled, the insensitive or aggressive behavior that administrators are seeking to minimize may actually be encouraged.
It is not surprising that young people are likely to 156 , particularly when there are reasons to do so. Our generation once joined hands and stood firm at times of national emergency. What is lacking today is the conflict between adolescent’s desire for autonomy and their understanding of an unsafe world.
Every college discussion about community values, social climate and behavior should include recognition of the developmental importance of student autonomy and self-regulation, of the necessary 157 between safety and self-discovery.
