阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
November is often overlooked as December approaches, but it’s an ideal time to arrange an
escape from the dull skies of northern Europe. Here’s our pick of the best holiday destinations in
November.
A. A coursebook.
C. A guidebook.
B. A survey report.
D.A geographical paper.
Vatnajökull, Iceland
B
Iceland’s name becomes increasingly accurate in November, as sub-zero temperatures arrive
more frequently. This is the best time for tourists to enter into the heavenly world of ice caves — more
accurately, glacier caves — as these changing holes need to be safely frozen before they can be
explored.
Raised by a father who was in the military and a mom who had a corporate job, Jasmine
Crowe-Houston saw her parents face various challenges in their own careers that inspired her to start
her own business. After college, she quickly realized where her passion lied while working in the
service industry.
Lanzarote, Canary Islands
In 2013, she started a restaurant called Sunday Soul that fed people in her community
experiencing homelessness, and four years later, a video of it went viral online. Although
Crowe-Houston was cooking the food herself, social media commenters asked if she would consider
food donations. Crowe-Houston then began researching and started learning all about food waste. “I
really became angry around how much food goes to waste while so many people go hungry at the
same time,” she said.
Lanzarote provides an amazing break in November. The first week aside, there are few school
holidays this month — a bonus for peace-seekers. With gardens designed by the famous Lanzarote
architect César Manrique, Meliá Salinas is a big-name resort (度假胜地) with local style, set between
two beaches.
Jackson Hole, Wyoming
During the winter, Jackson Hole is a wonderland of snow skiing, snowmobiling and ice-skating.

In the meantime, she began to notice the growing popularity of food delivery apps like Instacart
and DoorDash. “I started thinking, ‘Who’s going to get food delivered to the people that don’t know

where their next meal is coming from?’” recalled Crowe-Houston.
The Airspace Cabin Vision 2035+ concept also lets passengers tap on smart interactive windows
that show travel time and let you explore your destination city. The French company also says
passengers will enjoy a greater choice of meals thanks to new pre-ordering concepts. They believe that,
by collecting your meal at the gate, food and packaging waste could be reduced by up to 15 percent.
The company explains their ethos is “to reduce emissions at heart”.
The question led her to dream up Goodr, a waste diversion ( 转 移 ) company which helps
businesses reduce food waste and meanwhile tackles food insecurity. Goodr works with technology
that makes it easy for businesses to request pickups when they have eatable food to donate or
non-eatable items they want to recycle. She took her mission a step further by writing a children’s
book, Everybody Eats. She urged parents to not only talk about the topic with their kids but to take
steps in their own home to reduce food waste.
“Right now, research shows the cabin can contribute between 10% and 20% to the aircraft’s
overall environmental impact during its lifecycle,” Airbus officials write.
“Putting a focus on reducing this, Airbus brought together ten airlines and eight technology
companies to feed into a vision that rethinks the way the cabin should look and feel, maintaining
superior passenger comfort.”
Although Goodr started out in Atlanta, it’s now operating in about 26 markets across the country
and has diverted about 5 million pounds of food from landfill and provided nearly 35 million meals to
people in need.

4. What inspired Crowe-Houston to start her own business?
A. The hardships her parents met at work.
B. The education she received in college.
C. The experience in the service industry.
D. The popularity of food delivery apps.
5. What do we know about the restaurant Sunday Soul?
A. It provided videos on cooking online.
B. It offered food to the homeless.
Airbus found that one of the biggest levers ( 手 段 ) in the cabin for reducing emissions is
lightweight solutions. To achieve this, efforts should be focused on creating lighter “bionic designs”
that will help reduce cabin weight by up to 40 percent.
“As the world shifts to a more circular (循环的) economy, we are rethinking the materials used
inside the cabin so they’re able to be recycled, reused and repaired during their lifecycle. This is also a
key part of the 2035+ vision,” Airbus officials explain.

“Cabin lining and components will be developed for current aircraft using new materials and a

A. The sugar content is breeders’ first priority.
B. Sweeter fruits are just a result of natural selection.
C. The sweetness of modern apples is equal to the average of older ones.
D. Molecular approaches are adopted to add the sweetness of modern fruit.
34. What do studies of wild apples in the last paragraph suggest?
A. Apples of old species tasted less sweet.
D
Is modern fruit cultivated (培育) to be sweeter than in the past? The short answer is yes, though
the longer answer is more complicated. Some of the most powerful evidence that fruit is sweeter than
before comes from zoos.
In 2018, it was reported that Melbourne Zoo in Australia had stopped giving fruit to most of its animals
because cultivated fruit was now so sweet that it was causing tooth decay (蛀牙) and weight gain. The
monkeys at the zoo were provided with a lower-sugar vegetable-based diet instead of bananas.
Among fruit cultivators, the word “quality” is now routinely used as an equal for “high in sugar”
(though firmness, color and size are also considerations). In 2010, in an article looking at ways to
enhance the sweetness of fruit using “molecular (分子的) approaches”, a group of plant scientists of
the Republic of Korea wrote that “in general, the sugar content” of many fruits is now higher than
before “owing to continuous selection and breeding”. Modern apple varieties, the scientists noted,
were on average sweeter than older ones.
B. The sugar content of wild apples varied greatly.
C. The sweetness of modern apples is of the same level.
D. Fruit is sweet because bitterness in it has disappeared.
35. What’s the best title for this passage?
A. Modern or Old: Which Is Better?
B. Modern Fruit: Sweetness Is Quality.
C. Fruit Is Sweeter: It’s Not a Misconception.
D. Melbourne Zoo; Animals Stop Eating Fruits.
Cultivation isn’t the only reason that modern fruit is sweeter; there’s also climate change. Research
from Japan found that since the 1970s, with rising temperatures, Fuji apples (which were already a sweet
variety) have become significantly sweeter and softer. The lead researcher, Toshihoko Sugiura, said that “if
you could taste an apple harvested 30 years ago, you would feel the difference”.

Mental health is extremely essential because it can affect almost every part of a person’s life.
36 Here are some of the most popular advice shared by psychologists to improve your mental
health.
It is sometimes claimed that the sweetness of modern fruit is not due to higher sugar content so
much as the fact that the bitterness and sourness of wild fruit have been steadily cultivated out of it.
There’s a grain — but only a grain — of truth in this. Studies of wild apples do indeed suggest that
some ancient varieties were just as high in sugar as a modern Pink Lady or Honeycrisp. The difference
is that there was much wider variation in sugar content across wild apples, whereas the modern
supermarket apple seldom drops below a certain level of sweetness.
