By giving you a new card.BCombining two families into one through a marriage is a time full of love, compromise, and sometimes humor. The first time I brought my soon-to-be
16、 husband, Jack, to meet my big family was one of those situations.Jack grew up in a family that not only knew the names of lots of strange vegetables, but knew how to cook them. When they say theyre having salad for dinner, they mean that salad is made of vegetables. My family was more of a meat-and
17、-potatoes group. Though we had vegetables with every meal, strange vegetables or other food materials that require lots of preparation appear in our kitchen rarely.Jack didnt know this. All unaware, I led my trusting future husband to that minefield known as the “meet-the-family dinner”. My mother a
18、sked him if he wanted some salad, our traditional Jell-O salad. “Yes, please,” he replied. He took the pan and looked down. Uncertainty slid across his face, leaving a trace of doubt behind. He considered the tray in his hands. His future mother-in-law definitely said “salad”. He took the “salad”. S
19、he didnt switch pans on him as she handed it to him, so this must be it. Leaves did not seem to be involved.His brow wrinkled in confusion. Because he was such a wonderful man, and this was the official meet-the-family dinner, he took a spoonful and tried a bite. Everyone at the table was watching h
20、im chew. “Its good. But this is not salad,” he said.And this is why my husband tells people to this day that he married into a family who calls “dessert” a “salad”24. What does the author think about Jack meeting her family for the first time?A. Terrible.B. Amusing.C. Touching.D. Challenging.25. Wha

They seldom cook the meal with a complex process.26. Why was Jack confused about the salad provided by his future
22、mother-in-law?A. There were too many vegetables in it.B. It was different from what he had expected.C. The salad was too little for him.D. He had to help himself to the salad.27. What can be the best title for the text?A. A Salad Is Not a SaladB. A Family Get-TogetherC. What Is a Happy MarriageD. A
23、Family Calling Dessert a SaladCWasting things is a nightmare (噩梦) for the environment, especially food waste, which does double harm to the environment. A plenty of resources go into the food and the food system also produces lots of greenhouse gases and pollution.In our homes, restaurants, and food
24、 shops, 17 percent of all our food is thrown awaythats about a sixth of all of the food we have. If you add on the food lost in production, about a third of all food produced never reaches a mouth. At the same time, nearly 700 million people were affected by hunger in 2019, while 3 billion still str
25、uggle to afford healthy food. It is mostly households that are to blame: 11 percent of the food ends up in the trash of our homes, compared to a mere 5 and 2 percent from stores and restaurants.The reasons why food goes to waste are probably familiar to you: dinner party leftovers that never get eat
26、en, food going bad before you cook it, or simply confusion over sell-by and use-by dates that leads to totally fine food ending up in the garbage.The UN aims to cut food waste in half at the consumer and sale levels by late 2022. Luckily, theres actually a lot we can do as individuals and government
27、s can make policies to help people and the environment a lot. For individuals, something important is being more thoughtful and prepared when going to the grocery store. Make a list of meals you want to cook, and then only buy fresh produce that you will 100 percent be eating in the next few days. I
28、n social aspect, improving education on how to preserve food and understand tricky labels (标签), encouraging food recycling and pushing companies to sell smaller quantities of healthy, fresh food for one or two people could all play a helpful role in bringing down the massive pile of eatable waste.28
29、. Which of the following contributes most to food waste?A. Food shops.B. Restaurants.C. Households.D. Food production.29. What is partly responsible for food waste?A. People eat less than before.B. The food price is low.C. Food spoils easily during the summer.D. People are confused about the shelf l
30、ife of food.30. What is the authors advice on how to deal with food waste?A. Grocery stores should supply limited food.B. People should raise their awareness of food conservation.C. Everyone should consume as little food as possible.D. Governments should distribute food resources fairly.31. In which
31、 section of a newspaper may this text appear?A. Health.B. Fashion.C. Environment.D. Science.DFor many years, students had improved by answering questions and did best on the exam. But in the late 2010s, many students were doing more poorly on the exam than on the homework leading up to it. They woul
32、d even ace the very first homework assignment, the one that quizzed them on material they had not yet learned. In 2008, only around 3 out of 20 students performed better on their homework than on the exam. But that share grew over time. By 2019, more than half of the students had performed this way.
33、What had changed over those years? One big thing was the rise of smartphones. They existed in 2008, but were not common. Now almost everyone carries one. So it would be easier today to quickly go online and find the answer to just about any homework question. But students cant use phones during an e
34、xam. And that might explain why they arent doing as well on the tests.The students who did better on their exams didnt always report that they had come up with their own homework answers. And those who did better on their homework didnt always say that they had copied. Coming up with answers on your
35、 own should lead to better learning for students at any age. If you find and then copy the right answer, youre taking the easy way out. But that is wasting a valuable practice opportunity. It may take a few more minutes to think of an answer on your own, and then check to see if its right. But thats
36、 the way youll learn more.Now that information is easily available to everyone all the time, it probably doesnt make sense for teachers to expect students to take quizzes and exams without it. From now on, we shouldnt ever give a closed-book exam. Instead, teachers should come up with homework and e
37、xam questions that Google cant easily answer. These might be questions that ask you to explain a passage you just read in your own words. Writing assignments and class projects are other great ways to encourage students to remember and apply their knowledge.32. What does the underlined word “ace” in
38、 paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Do well in.B. Put effort into.C. Pay attention to.D. Get involved in.33. From paragraph 2, we can know that _.A. addiction to mobile games decreases students study gradesB. online tutoring influences the regular classroom learningC. the modern technology reduces student
39、s motivation for learningD. searching online for answers stops students independent thinking34. What does the author suggest to teachers in the last paragraph?A. Blocking students access to information.B. Giving students more quizzes and exams.C. Creating original questions for students.D. Minimizin
40、g the class teaching and activities.35. What is the text mainly about?A. Creative examinations are necessary.B. The ways students do their homework.C. The application of Internet in teaching.D. Students do better on homework than on exams.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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑

95、on the homework leading up to it. They would even ace the very first homework assignment, the one that quizzed them on material they had not yet learned.

128、 important in our lives.Firstly, learning handwriting seems a waste of time for us high school students. It can take up some time we could have spent learning subjects every day. Secondly, practicing handwriting is a demanding job and it is hard to learn. Thirdly, the characters are so complicated and fancy that practically not all people can do it accurately. Most importantly, due to technology, we hardly use handwriting. So theres no reason to teach students a skill that they wont use and will most likely forget.
