a. manageb. discover c. adjustd. adopt don january 13, 2016, france became the first country in the world to pass a law requiring supermarkets to donate what is approaching its expiration date (有效期) instead of throwing it away. the regulation that applies to supermarkets over 4,000 square feet requires stores to sign donation contracts with local food banksthe law also makes it illegal for stores to pour bleach (漂白剂) or water over nearly expired food, or store it inside locked warehouses until it is picked up by garbage trucks. these extreme measures are often undertaken by supermarkets to prevent the hungry from searching for food through the trash bins. supermarkets that do not obey the new law face the risk of large amounts of fines. the law also requires the charities receiving the donations to store the food in a hygienic manner and, more importantly, give it out with dignity. jacques bailet, who heads a network of french food banks called the banques alimentaires, says that of the 110,000 tons of goods received annually, only 36,000 tons comes from supermarkets. bailet estimates that just a 15% increase in supermarket donations would translate to over 10 million additional meals to feed the hungry each year.though this is a great first step, arash dermabarsh, the activist responsible for the grassroots movement that led to the ban, is not done. he now wants to extend the law to other sectors like restaurants, bakeries, and school cafeterias and also try to convince other countries in the european union to pass similar regulations. these steps are necessary because of the over 9 million tons of food wasted in france, an astonishing 67% is thrown by consumers, with supermarkets and restaurants making up the rest.sadly enough, the statistics are similar in industrialized countries as well. that is why we all need to do our share to cut back the over l.3 billion tons of perfectly good food that ends up in our landfills annually! this will not just help feed the less fortunate, but also aid in our fight against global warming. an added bonus? it will save the world billions of dollars!32. whats the purpose of the authors writing the text？ a. to remind supermarkets to be cautious before throwing food wasteb. to doubt whether the law concerning supermarket food waste is practicalc. to state france becomes the first in the world to ban supermarket food wasted. to show france takes the lead in caring for the poor.33. what will probably happen to a supermarket if it doesnt obey the new law？a. it will be forced to close down.b. its boss will be taken to the court.c. its boss will be sentenced to prison.d. it will get fined seriously. 34. by mentioning what jacque bailet says, the author wants to show .a. supermarket donation could make a great difference to the hungryb. only 15% increase in supermarket donation is no usec. supermarkets have been active in donating foodd. he is in charge of frances food banks35. what can be inferred from the last paragraph？a. every year 1.3 billion tons of food is thrown away as wasteb. food recycled in the whole world is worth up to billions of dollarsc. the donation of nearly expired food has an indirect influence on the environmentd. france government doesnt have enough confidence in other countries 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。the benefits of keeping a journal if you want to grow, one important thing you should do is keeping a journal. it may seem simple, but it can make a big difference in your life. i have been keeping journals for years. writing all the lessons i learn and all the ideas i get has become a habit for me.
