But many of us take this granted and throw away the extra food we dont eat. According to a report released by the United Nations, th
13、ere were 815 million undernourished people in the world in 2018, more than one in every 10 on Earth. Yet, 1.3 billion tons of food 1) _ (waste) annually around the world, which is about one-third of all food produced each year, according to the UNs Food and Agriculture Organization. To get 2)_ bette
14、r understanding of different countries food waste problems, the Economist intelligence Unit recently surveyed 34 nations according to their food system sustainability. According to the report, 3) _ was released this month, France topped the list of food sustainability, followed by Japan and Germany.
15、 The performance of these countries is largely related to their policies to deal with food waste. For example, France was the first country 4)_(pass) laws to ban food waste. In France, its illegal for supermarkets to throw away unsold food, and French restaurants 5)_ provide doggy bags for peoples l
16、eftovers. Germany is trying to deal with the problem by reforming expiration dates. “We found in our study that many people believed they should throw away products 6) _ _ _ the “best before date has expired,” Martin Kranert, chair of Stuttgart Universitys waste management department, told Deutsche
17、Welle. “This is not at all case, and such a persisting lack of knowledge is the first thing 7) _ has to change.” Some countries are still lagging behind when it comes to 8) _ (prevent) food waste, however. For example, the Untied Arab Emirates wastes the most food, with each of its citizens 9) _ (th
18、row) away about 1,000 kilograms every year on average. China has been working hard to reduce food waste. In early 2013, the countrys Clean Your Plate Campaign was Launched, urging people not to waste anything on their plate. “10) _ consumers are more conscious of the amount of food waste they genera
19、te and everyone plays a role in minimizing their personal food waste, then we can do better as a community,” said Joyce Chan from the Foodlink Foundation, a Hong Kong charity dedicated to reducing food waste. (B)The postponement of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics for a year has raised concerns over a 11)_(r
20、educe) marketing period for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, but analysts believe the impact will be limited.The Tokyo 2020 Olympics, 12)_sponsorship revenue has exceeded $3.1 billion, has been rescheduled to be held from July 23 to August 8 in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, 13)_(shorten) the O
21、lympic marketing period for the Beijing Winter Olympics - 14)_(hold) in February 2022 - by a year.Ren Hai, a professor at the Olympic Research Center of the Beijing Sports University, claimed on Tuesday, There will of course be an impact, but I think the impact will be limited, as the Summer Olympic
22、s and Winter Olympics are different in terms of sports and disciplines, Ren said. Historically, the two different Olympics 15)_(host) very close together. Ren was referring to the period from 1924 to 1992, 16)_ both the Winter and Summer Olympics were held in the same year.He Wenyi, executive direct
23、or of the China Institute for Sports Value, Peking University, said the reason 17)_ the limited impact on Winter Olympics marketing is that China has relatively few winter sports stars. China has won 224 gold medals in the Summer Olympics since 1980, compared with only 13 champions in the Winter Gam
24、es. The last Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, saw China 18)_(bag) only one gold medal, in short track speed skating.Summer Olympics sports are widely popular in China while winter sports are yet to enjoy the same kind of popularity, though the country has vowed to get 300 million people
25、to participate in winter sports by the year 2022. But the promotional events of Beijing 2022 are unlikely 19)_(affect), as the novel coronavirus epidemic is under control in China, He Wenyi said, adding the virus spread might lead to a change in 20)_ sports sponsorship is done worldwide.III. Vocabul

However, th
27、e influx has proved difficult for some host cities to fully _22_ visitors.In the city of Samara, where England will play Sweden on Saturday in a quarterfinal match, water pressure is decreasing due to a(n) _23_ in customers. In response, the city utility company has offered an unusual solution to mi
28、tigate(缓解) the low pressure. The proposal by the citys water system authorities was _24_ in a simple statement. “Save water, take showers in pairs,” the company said, accompanying its _25_ with a smiley face.The Moscow Times reported the water authorities have increased output in recent days to comp
29、ensate for the visitors, but the utility company is still trying to _26_ residents about the strains placed on the water service. Rather than trying to change the habits of visitors, the water service has asked locals to alter their daily _27_.“Thousands of the citys visitors, who also consume water
30、, are _28_ to the increase,” the utility company, Samarskiye Kommunalniye Systemy, wrote in a press release on Wednesday.The city has also experienced a heat wave that has increased the _29_ for water during the tournament. The Associated Press reported said that medical staff distributed water to f
31、ans traveling to last months game between Russia and Uruguay via public transit.Utility issues also arose when Russia hosted the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. The host nation seemed unable to provide the infrastructure needed to host athletes, fans, reporters and others who attended the tournament.
32、 Journalists who visited the city to report on the games _30_ discolored and brown water coming out of faucets.(B)A. impose B. moral C.tolerated D.anger AB.ingredient AC.contain AD.loosing BC.attitudes BD.publish CD.disadvantaged ABC.excusesA wise man once said that the only thing necessary for the
33、victory of evil is for good men to do nothing. So, as a police officer, I have some urgent things to say to good people. Day after day my men and I struggle to _31_ an epidemic of crimes. Something has gone terribly wrong with our once-proud American way of life. It has happened in the area of value
34、s. A significant _32_ is disappearing, and I think I know what it is: accountability. Accountability isnt hard to define. It means that every person is responsible for his or her actions and liable for their consequences. Of the many values that hold civilization together - honesty, kindness, and so
35、 on - accountability may be the most important of all. Without it, there can be no respect, no trust, no law - and, ultimately, no society. My job as a police officer is to _33_ accountability on people who refuse, or have never learned, to oblige themselves to do so. But as every policeman knows, e
36、xternal controls on peoples behavior are far less effective than internal restraints such as guilt, shame and embarrassment. Fortunately there are still communities - smaller towns, usually - where schools maintain discipline and where parents hold up standards that declare: “In this family certain
37、things are not _34_ - they simply are not done!” Yet more and more, especially in our larger cities and suburbs, these inner restraints are _35_. Your typical robber has none. He considers your property his property; he takes what he wants, including your life if you _36_ him. The main cause of this
38、 breakdown is a radical shift in _37_. Thirty years ago, if a crime was committed, society was considered the victim. Now, in a shocking reversal, its the criminal who is considered victimized: by his underprivileged upbringing, by the school that didnt teach him to read, by the church that failed t
39、o reach him with _38_ guidance, by the parents who didnt provide a stable home. I dont believe it. Many others in equally _39_ circumstances choose not to engage in criminal activities. If we free the criminal, even partly, from accountability, we become a society of endless _40_ where no one accept
40、s responsibility for anything. We in America desperately need more people who believe that the person who commits a crime is the one responsible for it.IV. Cloze test (30)(A)The continuous presentation of frightening stories about global warming in the popular media makes us unnecessarily frightened
41、. Even worse, it _41_ our kids.Al Gore famously _42_ how a sea-level rise of 20 feet would almost completely flood Florida, New York, Holland, and Shanghai, even though the United Nations says that such a thing will not even happen, _43_ that sea levels will rise 20 times less than that. When _44_ w
42、ith these exaggerations, some of us say that they are for a good cause, and surely there is no harm done if the result is that we focus even more on handling climate change.This _45_ is astonishingly wrong. Such exaggerations do plenty of harm. Worrying excessively about global warming means that we
43、 worry less about other things, where we could do so much more good. We focus, _46_, on global warmings impact on malaria (疟疾)-which will put slightly more people at _47_in 100 years - instead of dealing with the half a billion people _48_ from malaria today with prevention and treatment policies th
44、at are much cheaper and dramatically more effective than carbon reduction would be. Exaggeration also wears out the publics _49_ to cope with global warming. If the planet is certain to be destroyed owing to global warming, people wonder, why do anything? A record 54% of American voters now believe
45、the news media make global warming appear worse than it really is. A _50_ of people now believe incorrectly that global warming is not even caused by humans.But the _51_ cost of exaggeration, I believe, is the unnecessary alarm that it causes particularly among children. An article in The Washington
46、 Post cited nine-year-old Alyssa, who cries about the possibility of mass animal _52_ from global warming.The newspaper also reported that parents are _53_ effective outlets for their eight-year-olds concern with dying polar bears. They might be better off educating them and letting them know that,
47、_54_ to common belief, the global polar bear population has doubled over the past half- century, to about 22,000. _55_ the possible disappearing of summer Arctic ice, polar bears will not become extinct.41. A. exhausts B. depresses C. terrifies D. exploits42. A. dismissed B. demonstrated C. deposite

Except(B) Residents of urban areas often make use of public transportation on their way to school or the office. But when their final _56_ isnt near a bus stop or subway station, those folks have
51、a problem. Transportation experts often _57_ to this as the “last mile” problem finding a way to close the gap between public transportation stops and ones destination.With the last mile problem in mind, the makers of the URB-E _58_ a compact electric vehicle that weighs around 13 kilograms. Unlike
52、bikes, which often dont fit on crowded buses or trains, the URB-E collapses into a form _59_ to carry-on luggage. And since the URB-E can be carried _60_ anywhere, its not as vulnerable to thieves as bikes are.Depending on usage, the URB-E can travel for 32 kilometers on a single _61_, reaching a to
53、p speed of 24 kilometers per hour. Although there are other vehicles attempting to _62_ the last mile issue, the URB-E _63_ for its ease of use, portability and affordable price. For the price of a nice laptop, you could have an URB-E to drive to the office.The URB-E is made from aircraft-grade alum
54、inum and comes in two basic models: the URB-E Commuter and the URB-E GP. The main _64_ between the two is that the Commuter model has two rear wheels while the GP has only one. That means the Commuter offers greater stability, as _65_ to the GPs ability to make sharper turns like a bicycle.Both mode
55、ls come with accessories _66_ LED front and rear lights and a shock-absorbing seat. They also _67_ a smartphone holder and USB charging port right on the steering column. In fact, smartphones play a big role in the URB-E app to do things like monitor battery charge or control the lights. _68_ access
56、ories include a cup holder and a folding luggage shelf.At this years international Consumer Electronic Show (CES) in Las Vegas, tech website The Verge awarded the URB-E with its “Best Personal Transportation” award. Singing the URB-Es _69_, Verge editor Ben Popper said, “The URB-E felt like the kind
57、 of vehicle an enlightened citizen of 2030 would own.” So why wait that long, when the URB-E is _70_ for order now?56. A. purpose B. destination C. transportation D. vehicle57.

60、ableV. Reading Comprehension (30)(A)After bouncing my rental car across several miles of red-dirt roads I walked for nearly another mile down the beach to a deserted valley. It was comforting to think that at the very least I was finally out of cell-phone range.However, even on Kauai, Hawaiis Garden
61、 Island, complete escape wasnt all that easy to achieve. Noisy helicopters full of tourists flew overhead like so many dragonflies. Every 20 minutes or so the comforting sounds of wind and water were broken by the noise of a speeding tour boat racing to complete another lap around the island. Worst
62、of all, not more than five minutes by car from the resort where I was staying, the Atomic Clock Internet Caf signaled with promises of instant email. I felt uncomfortable every time I drove by the Atomic Clock Caf. I am a technology reporter for an online magazinemy life is driven and dominated by e
63、mail. Im drowned in it, usually 400 or 500 messages a day. The main reason for my visit to Kauai was to unplug, disconnect, log off, and get away from it all. No cell phone, no electronic organiser, no laptop. And definitely, no email. Yes, my plan was to lie on the beach and not check my email. My
64、friends and family were outraged as they could not understand how I could bear to live without email. But they didnt understand. In my job, I am online, permanently. Cyberspace is more familiar to me than my backyard. While I am awake, my email is always on. I dont like to be without it for too long
65、. A few hours away from it, and I start to tremble. I am, however, no stranger to beaches and their relaxing qualities and so I knew, even when arriving well after dark at the comfortable cottage in the town of Waimea, that the island of Kauai gave me a good chance of beating my addiction to electro
66、nic devices.Maybe it was full moon lighting the black-sand beach not 10 metres from my door. Or the mango trees casting shadows across the veranda (阳台). Or the driftwood piled in loose heaps for as far as I could see along the shore. Without question, the long, slow sound of the waves rolling in cal
67、med my restless soul, and I found I could, in fact, log off.71. Why did the writer come to Kauai? A. To get away from the modern technology. B. To work for the Atomic Clock Internet Caf. C.

Reservation fees can help preserve the site.(C) When Liam McGee departed as president of Bank of America in August, his
79、explanation was surprisingly straight up. Rather than cloaking his exit in the usual vague excuse, he came right out and said he was leaving “to pursue my goal of running a company.” Broadcasting his ambition was “very much my decision,” McGee says. Within two weeks, he was talking for the first tim
80、e with the board of Hartford Financial Services Group, which named him CEO and chairman on September 29. McGee says leaving without a position lined up gave him time to reflect on what kinds of company he wanted to run. It also sent a clear message to the outside world about his aspirations. And McG
81、ee isnt alone. In recent weeks the No. 2 executives at Avon and American Express quit with the explanation that they were looking for a CEO post. As boards scrutinize succession plans in response to shareholder pressure, executives who dont get the nod also may wish to move on. A turbulent business
82、environment also has senior managers cautious of letting vague pronouncements cloud their reputations. As the first signs of recovery begin to take hold, deputy chiefs may be more willing to make the jump without a net. In the third quarter, CEO turnover was down 23% from a year ago as nervous board
83、s stuck with the leaders they had, according to Liberum Research. As the economy picks up, opportunities will abound for aspiring leaders. The decision to quit a senior position to look for a better one is unconventional. For years executives and headhunters have adhered to the rule that the most at
84、tractive CEO candidates are the ones who must be poached. Says Korn Ferry, senior partner Dennis Carey: “I cant think of a single search Ive done where a board has not instructed me to look at sitting CEOs first.” Those who jumped without a job havent always landed in top positions quickly. Ellen Ma
85、rram quit as chief of Tropicana when the business became part of PepsiCo (PEP) a decade ago, saying she wanted to be a CEO. It was a year before she became head of a tiny internet-based commodities exchange. Robert Willemstad left Citigroup in 2005 with ambitions to be a CEO. He finally took that po
86、st at a major financial institution three years later. Many recruiters say the old disgrace is fading for top performers. The financial crisis has made it more acceptable to be between jobs or to leave a bad one. “The traditional rule was its safer to stay where you are, but thats been fundamentally
87、 inverted,” says one headhunter. “The people whove been hurt the worst are those whove stayed too long.”78. When McGee announced his departure, his manner can best be described as being _. A. arrogant. B. frank. C. self-centered. D. impulsive. 79. According to Paragraph 2, senior executives quitting
88、 may be encouraged by _. A. their expectation of better financial status B. their need to reflect on their private lifeC. their strained relations with the boards D. their pursuit of new career goals 80. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _. A. top performers used to cling to their post
89、s B. loyalty of top performers is getting out-dated C. top performers care more about reputations D. its safer to stick to the traditional rules 81. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. CEOs; Where to Go? B. CEOs: All the Way Up?C. Top Managers Jump without a Net D. The Only Way
90、Out for Top Performers(D)A. In this case, the curious Data Scientist is expected to explore the data, come up with the right questions, and provide interesting findings!B. Business intelligence Developers are data experts that interact more closely with internal stakeholders to understand the report
91、ing needs. C. With the emergence of big data, new roles began popping up in corporations and research centers - namely, Data Scientists and Data Engineers. D. This is why it is essential to know computer science fundamentals and programming, including experience with languages and database (big/smal
92、l) technologies. E. And they also help people from across the company understand specific questions with ad-hocreports and charts. F. They are software engineers who design, build, integrate data from various resources, and manage big data. Have you ever heard of Big Data or are you familiar with Da
93、ta Scientists and Data Engineers? They are probably new job titles, but the core job roles have been around for a while. Traditionally, anyone who analyzed data would be called a “data analyst” and anyone who created backend platforms to support data analysis would be a “Business intelligence (BI) D
94、eveloper”. _82_ Heres an overview of the roles of the Data Analyst, BI Developer, Data Scientist and Data Engineer. Data Analysts are experienced data professionals in their organization who can question and process data, provide reports, summarize and visualize data. They have a strong understandin
95、g of how to influence existing tools and methods to solve a problem. _83_. However, they are not expected to deal with analyzing big data, nor are they typically expected to have the mathematical or research background to develop new algorithms for specific problems. Skills: Data Analysts need to ha
96、ve a baseline understanding of some core skills: statistics, data munging, data visualization, exploratory data analysis, Tools: Microsoft Excel, SPSS, SPSS Modeler, SAS, SAS Miner, SQL, Microsoft Access, Tableau, SSAS. _84_. And then they collect requirements, design, and build BI and reporting sol
97、utions for the company. They have to design, develop and support new and existing data warehouses, ETL packages, dashboards and analytical reports. Additionally, they work with databases, both relational and multidimensional, and should have great SQL development skills to integrate data from differ
98、ent resources. They use all of these skills to meet the enterprise-wide self-service needs. BI Developers are typically not expected to perform data analyses. Data Engineers are the data professionals who prepare the “big data” infrastructure to be analyzed by Data Scientists. _85_. Then, they write
99、 complex queries on that, make sure it is easily accessible, works smoothly, and their goal is optimizing（优化）the performance of their companys big data ecosystem. They might also run some ETL (Extract, Transform and Load) on top of big datasets and create big data warehouses that can be used for rep
