happily feasting during Spring Festival Zu Xinming a Senior 2 student in Shaanxi province was frowning Every time my relatives leave after dinner almost half of the dishes are unfinished he said and we throw away a lot of food Nowadays in China food waste is a widespread problem Each year Chinese people throw away the equivalent 相等的量 of about 50 million tons of grain an amount which could feed 200 million people according to Xinhua News Agency One reason is that people are unaware of the issue Some of my friends don t care at all when they can t finish the food on their plates said Zu and they even throw it away if they don t like the taste Gong Tao an official from the Communist Youth League of China Committee of Central South University in Hunan province is worried about the decreasing awareness of food waste on his campus in recent years Students don t know how much hard work others go through in order to provide their food Gao told China Education Daily One deeper factor is the Chinese cultural value of face In a Chinese banquet 宴会 setting the host feels great shame when guests plates are empty Serving lots of food is the Chinese way of showing respect to guests and displaying generosity Yu Changjiang a sociologist at Peking University told Xinhua 6 Huge public spending on government banquets is also worsening the situation Government banquets at the taxpayer s expense 纳税人承担费用 have become a major source of waste commented People s Daily The good news is that people are already beginning to take action On Jan 16 10 restaurants with 749 outlets 店 in Beijing joined an eating up campaign promoted by Xu Xiake deputy director of China Land and Resources News These restaurants have begun serving half sized meals and small dishes So how can you help reduce food waste Discuss with your family regularly about your food preferences and how much you want to eat Eat all of the food on your plate and in your bowl And each week help your parents clean the fridge so that all of the food gets eaten before it goes to waste 56 According to the passage which of the following is true A The eating up campaign was first promoted by 10 restaurants B Eat less so there will be less food wasted in the country C Students all understand well the hard work in producing food D In Chinese culture people show their welcome by serving lots of food 57 The underlined word frown is most probably to show A satisfaction B Anger C dissatisfaction D surprise 58 The passage is meant to tell the readers A everybody should do his bit to help reduce waste B everybody must join in the eating up campaign C Chinese way of showing generosity is a waste of food D some restaurants have begun to serve half sized meals 59 How many reasons are mentioned in the passage for the food waste problem in China A 5 B 2 C 3 D 4 60 Where is the passage most probably taken from A Textbook B Newspaper C Magazine D Guidebook B IMAGINE that your parents have bought you the most advanced robot He looks like a real person He talks to you and plays with you He can even think for himself and figure out what you need It may feel as if you have a considerate new brother who keeps you company all the time But come to think of it can you really trust him Ever since the first robot was created decades ago scientists have kept thinking about the task of making robots more like humans However as they have gotten closer to that goal doubts have grown According to the BBC Japanese robot designer Masahiro Mori argues that the more lifelike robots become the more humans feel a connection to them But once they become too similar to humans people begin to feel uncomfortable This theory is what led to the creation of a brand new robot in Switzerland earlier this month Roboy as the new machine is called has various human like abilities such as hand shaking and bicycle riding but instead of a skin like 7 covering Roboy is wrapped in shiny white armor 盔甲 that clearly shows its robot status As long as people can clearly see that the robot is a machine even if they project their feelings into it then they feel comfortable Rolf Pfeifer the creator of Roboy from the University of Zurich Switzerland told the BBC But the problem that people have with robots is not just with the way they look It also has to do with the roles that they play in our lives A survey last year of European Union countries showed that 88 percent of those interviewed agreed that robots are necessary as they can do jobs that are too hard or dangerous for people such as space exploration and war fighting But when it comes to taking care of children 60 percent said that robots should not be allowed to participate because as robots become more advanced and complicated parents may tend to hand over too much responsibility to them No matter what robots will soon enter our homes Pfeifer said What is not yet clear is whether they will act more like servants who work for us or companions who live with us 61 What is the purpose of the text A To introduce the newly invented robot Roboy B To discuss problems related to designing robots C To explore the roles robots will play in our future lives D To argue what kinds of robots appeal to people more 62 Why did Pfeifer make Roboy look like a robot A To better protect it B To make it look cool and modern C To make it clearly different from a human D To keep its price down 63 According to the paragraph before the last one most of the people interviewed A welcome robots into their homes B believe robots are useful for certain dangerous tasks C think families with children shouldn t use robots for housework D are afraid that children will become less responsible if robots take care of them 64 Which best describes the author s tone in the article A Objective B Critical C Admiring D Anxious 65 Which of the following statements is true according to the passage A The brand new robot in Switzerland can do everything human beings can B Scientists have long been dreaming of creating human like robots C Robots in the future will serve as human beings good friends D People won t be comfortable with robots like a machine in the house C The revolution was over by the time Tom Ford started working in the fashion world The expensive fashion design houses such as Channel Yves Saint Laurent 8 and Christian Dior which earned money by designing and making very expensive custom clothes had lost many of their wealthy customers To stay in business they started selling more reasonably priced ready to wear clothing along with a wide range of accessories 配件 that is related products such as shoes bags watches All of these products needed to blend 融合 with the clothing and with each other so that they made up a brand that everyone would recognize and wanted to buy Though they did not use that name each company needed a master designer Born in Texas and growing up in Santa Fe New Mexico Ford had a diverse background in the arts Soon after completing high school he moved to New York where he studied art history trained as an actor and worked as a model Following that Ford completed a program in indoor design but later decided that he was more interested in designing clothes than in decorating house He was hired by the firm Cathy Hardwick in 1986 where he began to work as a fashion designer His talent stood out from the rest and soon he moved to Perry Ellis where he became design director Then in 1990 he made an important move by taking a position with the New York branch of Gucci the famous design house based in Milan Italy During his first years at Gucci the company was going through a very difficult period Its products were once considered highly desirable and were worn by famous women such as Grace Kelly Audrey Hepburn and Jacqueline Kennedy However by the early 1990s they had lost their reputation for quality Other producers had started making cheap widely available imitations of the brand and the sales of Gucci s own products had dropped Things were so bad at one point that Ford was almost fired However some people at the company believed in his talent and in 1994 they hired him to work in Milan as the creative director for the entire company In this position Ford had artistic control over all of the company s products as well as its advertising and the design of its stores Under Ford s direction Gucci s reputation for cutting edge style soon returned and the company began to recover The style shows starting in 1994 were wildly successful People loved the low cut velvet pants unbuttoned silk shirts and shiny boots in metallic colors By 1999 Gucci which had almost gone out of business was worth over 4 billion When Gucci bought Yves Saint Laurent Ford became creative director for that fashion house while continuing to design for Gucci When asked how he would be able to keep the two styles apart Ford said it wasn t a problem and offered a comparison Yves Saint Laurent was like Catherine Deneuve he said while Gucci was more like Sophia Loren Both are sexy and beautiful women but with very different styles Ford left Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent in 2004 to form his own company called simply Tom Ford Not long after he was working together with cosmetics producer Estee Lauder to bring out new beauty products and then developed and sold a perfume 香水 under his own name His plans for the future Ford says that someday he d definitely like to make a film He puts it his way 9 That is the main design project You don t just get to design what people wear but you design the whole world and whether characters get to live or die There is what fashion lacks 66 Why did the author most likely write this passage A To describe the career of Tom Ford B To show why Tom Ford is the world s greatest fashion designer C To explain why Tom Ford was constantly changing jobs D To show the fierce competition Tom had in the fashion world 67 Why did the famous design houses need a master designer A To make clothes for their wealthy customers B To start a revolution in the fashion world C To blend a range of accessories with ready to wear clothing D To save a company from its difficult times 68 The passage doesn t mention that Ford received any training in A acting B modeling C photography D design
