Meanwhile, millions of poor Americans go hungry, without access to healthy and affordable meals.Evan Lutz, CEO and founder of Hungry Harvest, was inspired to act after seeing extremepoverty in areas of Baltimore, Maryland. He wants to reduce the so-called food desert in that area. His work is to make sure no food goes to waste and no person is ever hungry in America. And hecombines that goal with a love for business.Hungry Harvest is a business which collects and sells ugly produce. These are fruits andvegetables that most food companies will throw away. More than six billion pounds are wasted each year due to ugly surface. Everything doesnt grow the same way on a farm. But all that is too big or too small gets thrown out. That is why everything in a grocery store looks similar, shiny and perfect. Hungry Harvest will box those imperfect ones and deliver them to customers once a week.For Evan Lutz, giving back to others came from his upbringing.When I was growing up my parents taught me the values of giving back, and giving is a lotmore powerful than receiving. We sell produce with a purpose and that doesnt just mean we reduce food from going to waste. We hire people that were formerly in prison and were formerly injured or sick living in homeless shelters. They really wanted to get back on their feet for a second chance in life.In January 2016, Lutz appeared on the American business competition television show Shark Tank and got even more than he expected: $100,000. Lutz is using the money to realize his great mission that can really revolutionize the food industry in America.25. The underlined part food desert in the second paragraph means .A. food that grows in the desert B. the poor areas in BaltimoreC. a lack of fresh and healthy food D. the desert where food can grow26. The food delivered by Hungry Harvest is .A. popular with local fruit farmers B. easy to be found in grocery storesC. fresh but hard to keep for food companies D. healthy and available to hungry people27. Which of the following words can be used to describe Evan Lutz?A. Strong-willed and smart. B. Kind-hearted and creative.C. Warm-hearted and strict. D. Open-minded and humorous.28. What can be a suitable title for this passage?A. Giving Unused Produce a Purpose B. Making Profits from Shiny ProduceC. Creating Jobs for the Less Fortunate D. Helping the People in Hungry WorldCWhen others get off the train to finally go home, Leonie Muller stays behind. Thats because she is already home: The train is her apartment, and she says she likes it that way. The German college student gave up her apartment in spring. It all started with a quarrel I had with my landlord, Muller told The Washington Post via e-mail. I immediately decided I didnt want to live there anymore and then I realized: Actually, l didnt want to live anywhere anymore.Instead, she bought a subscription(会员费)that allows her to board every train in the country for free. Now, Muller washes her hair in the train bathroom and writes her college papers while traveling at a speed of up to 190 mph. She says that she enjoys the freedom since she gave up her apartment. I really feel at home on trains. Its like being on vacation all the time, Muller said.I want to inspire people to question their habits and the things they consider to be normal,Muller told The Post. There are always more opportunities than one thinks there are. The nextadventure is waiting just around the corner一provided that you want to find it.Muller frequently travels late at night, although she tries to sleep at the apartments of relatives or friends. Often, she is accommodated by her boyfriend, her mother or grandmother. Normally, we would have to have a long-distance relationship, but living on a train enables me to see him all the time, Muller told German TV station SWR regarding her boyfriend. Most of my friends really like the idea, although some consider it to be quite adventurous. Others, however, have reacted more negatively. They feel offended by the fact that I question the ordinary way of life and living.The only problem? Possessing a headset that reduces most surrounding noises is important, she said.29. What do we know about the direct reason for Mullers choice to live on trains?A. She planned to act against tradition.B. She had an argument with her landlord.C. She wanted to visit more people on the way.D. She had to finish her graduate paper on the topic.30. According to Muller, which is one of the advantages of living on trains?A.

There are opportunities everywhere in life.B. The next adventure is coming soonC. People need to make changes in their life.D. People need to follow in her footsteps to live on trains.32. What does the underlined word it in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. The ordinary way of life and living. B. The thought of living on a train.C. German TV station SWR. D. A long-distance relationship.DAccording to a team of researchers, an animals ability to perceive(感知)time is linked to their pace of life.Our results lend support to the importance of time perception in animals where the ability toperceive time in a very short time may be the difference between life and death for fast movingcreatures. commented lead author Kevin Healy from Trinity College Dublin.The study was done with a variety of animals using a phenomenon based on the maximum speed of flashes of light an individual can see before the light source is seen as constant. Dogs, for example, have eyes with a refresh rate higher than humans.One example of this phenomenon at work, the authors say, is the housefly and its ability to avoid being hit. The research showed flies observe motion in a shorter time than our own eyes can achieve, which allows them to avoid being hit.Professor Graeme Ruxton of the University of St Andrews in Scotland, who worked jointly(共同地) on the research project, said in a statement, Having eyes that send updates to the brain at much higher frequencies than our eyes do is of no value if the brain cannot process that information equally quickly. Thus, this work highlights the impressive abilities of even the smallest animal brains. Flies might not be deep thinkers, but they can make good decisions very quickly.In comparison the tiger beetle(虎甲虫)runs faster than its eyes can keep up, basically becoming blind, which requires it to stop periodically to re-evaluate its preys(猎物)position.Our results suggest that time perception offers an as yet unstudied dimension along whichanimals can specialize and there is considerable range to study this system in more detail.33. What is the research mentioned in the passage mainly about?A. Pace of life of animals. B. Time perception of animals.C. Lifetime of small animals. D. Impressive abilities of animals.34. Why can houseflies avoid being hit?A. They can think very deeply before they act.B. They can fly much faster than their eyes can keep up.C. They can process the information as quickly as they receive it.D. They can send information to brain more quickly than to their eyes.35. What will a tiger beetle have to do to catch a moving prey?A. Try to run as fast as it can. B. Prevent itself from becoming blind.C. Slow down to gain its time perception. D. Stop occasionally to spot the prey again.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Choosing the Right Path to Be a Better PersonLife is a constant exercise in self-improvement.
