2019高考英语（浙江）阅读理解系列（3）（解析）(A)BEIJINGA chemical that ripens fruits and vegetables does no harm to human health, experts said following recent reports about a ripener used in several provinces. “There is no problem with using ethephon to ripen fruits. This plant growth regulator is completely the same as hormones produced by plants themselves when they get ripe, ” Luo Yunbo, dean of the College of Food Science and Nutritional Engineering under China Agricultural University and an expert of plant physiology, told China Daily on Monday. “The chemical is safe enough that there is even no need for detection, for it has been used worldwide for decades. ” Luo said. The national standard for the amount of residue of the chemical is two milligrams in every kilogram of fruit, and experts said the actual dosage is far below that level, as overuse benefits neither farmers nor their fruit. “Overdose may make fruit ripen too rapidly and even rot, and will scorch the skin of fruit, which will harm sales for vendors, ”Luo said. China learned the use of the hormone from the United States and Japan, which is a pioneer in research and use of plant growth accelerators and regulators. Ethephon, an organic compound, is an agricultural plant growth stimulant that is sprayed on 70 or 80 percent ripe fruit after they have been picked. It gives off ethylene to facilitate ripening. Some fruit, such as bananas, will rot instead of ripen without such a ripener, according to experts. “The traditional way to ripen bananas is to put them together with mature apples, which can release ethephon to help bananas ripen, or ripen them by fuming with joss sticks. But these two ways may give bananas uneven color when they turn yellow, and the fruit will never have achieved mass production, ” Luo said. People interviewed by China Daily said it is easy to stir panic about additives or growth accelerators, as food safety is a major concern. 21. What does the passage mainly tell us? A.

(B)I had once helped a friend of mine run a watermelon stall. I noticed something interesting. Almost every buyer would lift the melon up to their ear, smartly tap it， apparently trying to listen to something. I wondered what they expected to hear. Finally I could no longer hold back my curiosity and made bold to ask a customeran elderly gentlemanabout this. Hearing my question，he roared with laughter. Then he replied in a self-mocking(自嘲)tone，“Young lady, I have been doing this for more than fifty years. All I know is that everybody would stare at you as if you were a fool if you just pick up the melon and leave! ” Not long after that，my watermelon stall friend unexpectedly sent me an invitation for her wedding, which really surprised me. I asked her, “How come you are seized by a sudden desire to get married? I dont remember ever hearing you mention that youve got a boyfriend.” She answered while counting money, “Everyone has to get married anyway, so it is better to get married sooner than later. ” I could think of no word to refute(反驳)her. It seems that everybody is living for everybody else and has forgotten the need of their own heart. It may be safe and save a lot of worries by following others suit in doing things. The use of We or Us will give one a steady and sure sense of pride. But using the pronoun “I” would often give one a guilty conscience. I find all these things somewhat funny. We have got used to taking cue from(模仿)others and follow their suit. In turn，we also take it for granted that we should judge the right and wrong of others by our own standard. As a matter of fact，this massive practice is still wrong though we all follow others suit like this，but we feel at ease and, justified simply because this is the way of Us，and so we can have an easy conscience because this has been practiced by so many people. 26.
