They are found throughout the city, so people enjoy standing up at street stalls and restaurant-fronts by Shanghais business set.Pho-Hanoi, Vietnam Pho is noodle soup. Ingredients in the soup are simple: noodles, meat (chicken or beef), and garnishes (g

18、the edge of a cliff and out into the air. He was held up by a narrow band of fabric, three centimetres wide. The slackline (扁带) went over a deep channel on the top of Stawamus Chief Mountain in Squamish, Canada. The plan was to walk across without safety equipment. The ground was 290 metres below Se
19、abrooks feet. A fall meant death. The walking distance of 64 metres would mark a world record in free solo slacklining.“Youre standing on nothing,” Seabrooke said at the time. “Everything inside your body is telling you this is wrong.” Several steps into the crossing, Seabrooke looked down. He lower
20、ed his body to steady himself and reached with his hands to hold the slackline. He suddenly turned over but hung on. He righted himself, let out a few screams, and stood again. He had walked the same slackline-with assistance-many times before. Finally, he crossed in four minutes and made it. Slackl
21、ining became known in the early 1980s, around the rock climbing scene at Yosemite National Park in California. Scott Balcom, in 1985, was the first to walk on a 17-metre highline on Lost Arrow Spire, the valley bottom some 880 metres below. Charles “Chongo” Tucker, who has been living in Yosemite fo
22、r a long time, was there in slacklinings earliest days. Later, in 1994, he was one of the next people to walk the Lost Arrow Spire highline. “As scared as I was, it was as cool as anything Ive ever done in my life,” said Tucker.Seabrooke grew up in Peterborough, Canada, in love with the outdoors. He
23、 saw a documentary in 2012 that was about Andy Lewis, a slackliner and free solo pioneer who performed at the Super Bowl. Seabrooke was attracted and devoted himself to the sport. Three years later, he walked his record free solo highline on the Stawamus Chief.The attention Seabrooke won led to work
24、, everything from commercials to paid appearances at slackline festivals from Poland to China. “When you step out into the air, theres something so clean about it,” said Seabrooke. “Height makes it real.”24.

27、 leftovers to good use. The city is among a handful of U.S.cities aiming for “zero waste”.For Austin, there are plenty to go around: it annually wastes more than 190 million pounds of food,worth at least $200 million.Those numbers are big,but theyre not out of line with national trends-some 40 perce
28、nt of food in the nation goes to waste.Put in plain terms,that is enough to fill a 90,000-seat stadium each day.For many,the answer lies in donation. Austin City Limits,one of the citys influential festivals, gives all unwanted food to the Central Texas Food Bank. And there are volunteer-driven nonp
29、rofits that pick up donated food and deliver it to hungry people.But the best practice, Austin believes,is to use less,and the city is calling on businesses and households to buy the right amount of food. Full Fridge, a new meal-delivery service, solves this problem. “Full Fridge came about because,
30、 basically, we were seeing a lot of people not knowing how to prepare food,” says co-founder Mokshika Sharma. They would buy groceries, but not know what to do with them, and end up throwing away a lot.Her business hopes to end that problem by offering ready-made meals for only five dollars each. Fu
31、ll Fridge also minimizes waste by stopping sales two days before delivery, so the chef and shopper can plan precisely.Another satisfactory solution is to compost(将.制成堆肥）it. Austins restaurants and grocery stores typically contract with composting companies to deal with much of their food waste, and
32、then sell it as fertilizer. Meanwhile,Compost Pedallers, a company created by Dustin Fedako, is working on bicycle-powered compost collection. “We play the dot-connecter,”says Fedako,“getting the material from those of us who are making it to the people in the community who use it as a resource to g
33、row more food,and to grow better quality food.”28.What do the figures in Paragraph 2 indicate?A.The urgent need for donated food.B.The rapid growth in food donation.C.The ambitious goal of“zero waste”.D.The serious problem of food waste.29.Paragraph 3 mainly talks about Austin s efforts to_.A.feed t

35、s.31.What does Fedako mean by saying “We play the dot-connecter”?A.They find it rather easy to collect food waste.B.They hope people will buy better quality food.C.They link food waste producers to fertilizer users.D.They are trying to connect with composting companies.DEver walked to the shops only
36、 to find, once there, youve completely forgotten what you went for? Or struggled to remember the name of an old friend? For years weve accepted that a forgetful brain is as much a part of aging as wrinkles and gray hair. But now a new book suggests that weve got it all wrong.According to The Secret
37、Life of the Grown-up Brain, by science writer Barbara Strauch, when it comes to the important things, our brains actually get better with age. In fact, she argues that some studies have found that our brain hits its peak between our 40s and 60s much later than previously thought.Furthermore, rather
38、than losing many brain cells as we age, we keep them, and even produce new ones well into middle age. For years its been assumed that brain, much like the body, declines with age. But the longest, largest study into what happens to people as they age suggests otherwise.This continuing research has f
39、ollowed 6,000 people since 1956, testing them every seven years. It has found that on average, participants performed better on cognitive (认知的) tests in their 40s and 50s than they had done in their 20s. Specifically, older people did better on tests of vocabulary, verbal memory (how many words you
40、can remember) and problem solving. Where they performed less well was number ability and perceptual speed how fast you can push a button when ordered. However, with more complex tasks such as problem-solving and language, we are at our best at middle age and beyond. In short, researchers are now com
41、ing up with scientific proof that we do get wiser with age.Neuroscientists are also finding that we are happier with aging. A recent US study found older people were much better at controlling and balancing their emotions. It is thought that when were younger we need to focus more on the negative as
42、pects of life in order to learn about the possible dangers in the world, but as we get older weve learned our lessons and are aware that we have less time left in life. Therefore, it becomes more important for us to be happy.32. Barbara Strauch probably agrees that _.A. the young are better at handl
43、ing important thingsB. aging leads to the decline of the function of the brainC. peoples brains work best between their 40s and 60s D. wrinkles and gray hair are the only symbols of aging33. The continuing research has found older people perform better on _.A. perceptual speedB. number abilityC. voc
44、abulary testsD. body balance34. People are happier with aging because _.A. they learn to value the time left.B. they know how to share feelings.C. they cannot focus on negative aspects.D. they do not realize the possible dangers.35. What is the main idea of the passage?A. People get happier with age
45、.B. People get wiser with age.C. People get more forgetful with age.D. People get more self-aware with age.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。Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia (百科全书), is the largest encyclopedia ever. An encyclopedia is a collection of informative article
46、s about various things. Encyclopedias used to be printed as books. 36 “Wiki”is an internet term that means“a website that can be edited by the public. ”It comes from“wikiwiki”，a Hawaiian word for“quick”. Two Americans, Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger, created Wikipedia in 2001. 37 It has about 6 millio
47、n articles in 300 languages and is visited by billions of people each day,who want to find information on just about anything-science, math, languages, art, cultureand company histories. There are articles on sports stars, too, and even long-forgotten soap operas from the 1970s. 38 Except for a smal
48、l number of pages, anyone can edit articles, anonymously (匿名地）or with a user account, and registered users can create their own articles. Editing is unpaid, although Wikipedia does employ a small staff. Wikipedia is freely available to anyone with an internet connection. Its founders hoped that the
49、model would make use of humanitys collective knowledge. 39 Many Wikipedia pages contain errors, although the organization has a content review system that works to fix this problem. Several studies have concluded that Wikipedia is as accurate as most print encyclopedias. Indeed, a 2005 report in the
50、 journal Nature found it to be only slightly less reliable than Encyclopedia Britannica.Today Wikipedia faces many challenges. It does not rely on advertising. 40 Perhaps more importantly, the number of its volunteer editors is shrinking. Despite these difficulties, Jimmy Wales says he will still st

Wikipedia employs an open editing model.C. It allows users to get information within seconds. D. It is now the fifth-most visited website
