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

Amid the coronavirus outbreak, the U. S. Department of Homeland Security recommends having at least a two - week supply of water and food.

Potatoes

Shelf life：2 to 5 weeks if stored in a cool, dry, dark place

Yukon Gold, red, and fingerling potatoeswill last from two to three weeks. Larger white potatoes can last for three to five weeks. Sweet potatoes have about the same shelf life. Don't store them next to onions, however. The two might go together well in cooking, but raw, each gives off gases and moisture that might cause the other to spoil faster.

Tea

※Shelf life：6 to 12 months past \"sell - by\" date

Dried tea leaves, whether loose (in a sealed container) or in teabags (in an unopened box) can easily last a year or more if they' re not subjected to damp or humidity. However, the tea does tend to lose flavor over time.

Peanuts

● Shelf life：1 to 2 months

Peanuts in their shell, especially when kept cool and dry, are perfectly happy in the cupboard for as long as two months.

Canned fruits and vegetables

● Shelf life：1 to 2 years past \"sell - by” date

Canning is an extremely efficient means of preserving food. Generally speaking, if canned foods aren't subjected to extreme heat, their contents should stay good for two years or more. Be aware, however, of dented cans or those with swollen tops, which may indicate the presence of bacteria inside. 1. Which can go bad faster if stored with onions? A. Potatoes. B. Tea.

C. Peanuts. D. Canned fruits and vegetables. 2. What is special about tea?

A. The flavor of tea can always remain the same. B. Tea leaves are better to be preserved in an open jar. C. Tea leaves should be kept away from the state of being wet. D. The maximum length of time that tea can be stored is 6 months. 3. What may shorten the \"sell - by” date of canned foods ? A. Shapes of cans. B. Categories of foods.

C. Decline of the temperature. D. Exposure to high temperature.

B

You've probably heard it suggested that you need to move more throughout the day, and as a general rule of thumb, that \"more\" is often defined as around 10,000 steps. With many Americans tracking their stepsvia new fitness-tracking wearables, or even just by carrying their phone, more and more people use the 10,000-step rule as their marker for healthy living. Dr. Dreg Hager, professor of computer science at Johns Hopkins, decided to take a closer look at that 10,000-step rule, and he found that usingitas a standard may be doing more harm than good for many.

“It turns out that in 1960 in Japan they figured out that the average Japanese man, when he walked 10,000 steps a day burned something like 3,000 calories and that is what they thought the average person should consume so they picked 10,000 steps as a number” Hager said.

According to Hager, asking everyone to shoot for 10,000 steps each day could be harmful to the elderly or those with medical conditions, making it unwise for them to jump into that level of exercise, even if it's walking. The bottom line is that 10,000 steps may be too many for some and too few for others. He also noted that those with shorter legs have an easier time hitting the 10,000-step goal because they have to take more steps than people with longer legs to cover the distance. It seems that 10,000 steps may be suitable for the latter.

A more recent study focused on older women and how many steps can help maintain good health and promote longevity (长寿).The study included nearly 17,000 women with an average age of 72. Researchers found that women who took 4,400 steps per day were about 40% less likely to die during a follow-up period of just over four years: Interestingly, women in the study who walked more than 7,500 steps each day got no extra boost in longevity.

4. What does the underlined word \"it' in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. The phone recording. B. The 10,000-step rule. C. The healthy living. D. The fitness-tracking method.

5. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. How many steps a Japanese walks. B. How we calculate the number of steps. C. If burning 3,000 calories daily is scientific. D. Where 10,000 steps a day came from.

6. Who will probably benefit from 10,000 steps each day according toHager? A. Senior citizens. B. Young short-legged people. C. Healthy long-legged people D. Weak individuals.

7. How many steps may the researchers suggest senior citizens take each day? A. 4,400 steps. B. 10,000 steps. C. 2,700 steps. D. 7,500 steps.

C

In the northern part ofAustin there once lived an honest family by the name of Smothers. The family had John Smothers, his wife and their five-year-old daughter.

One night after supper the little girl was ill with a serious stomachache, and John Smothers hurried downtown to get some medicine. He never came back. The mother was very sad over her husband's disappearance, and it was nearly three months before she married again, and moved to San Antonio. The little girl recovered and in time grew up to womanhood. After a few years had rolled around, the little girl also married in time, and she also had a little girl of five years. She still lived in the same house where theydweltwhen her father had left and never returned.

By an unbelievable coincidence her little girl was taken with the same stomachache on the same night of the disappearance of John Smothers, who would now have been her grandfather if he had been alive. “I will go downtown and get some medicine for her,” said John Smith(for it was he whom she had married). “No, no, dear John,” cried his wife. “You, too, might disappear forever, and then forget to come back.” So John Smith did not go, and together they sat by the bedside of little Pansy. After a little while Pansy seemed to grow worse, and John Smith again wanted to go for medicine, but his wife would not let him.

Just then, the door suddenly opened and an old man with long white hair entered the room. “Hello, here is grandpa,” said Pansy. She had recognized him before any of the others. The old man drew a bottle of medicine from his pocket and gave Pansy a spoonful. She got well immediately. “I was a little late,” said John Smothers, “as I waited for a street car.”

8. What happened after John Smothers disappeared?

A. His daughter took some medicine. B. His wife left for San Antonio. C. Pansy immediately had a stomachache. D. John Smith went for medicine. 9. What does the underlined word “dwelt” in paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. Lived. B. Left. C. Returned. D. Married. 10. What is the relationship between John Smothersand Pansy? A. Husband and wife. B. Father and daughter. C. Grandfather and granddaughter. D. Father and son. 11. How could Pansy's mother feel when she saw John Smothers?

A. Worried. B. Sad. C. Uninterested. D. Surprised.

After finishing his dinner, Lin Xu opened a WeChat mini-programcalled \"Clear Plate\" on his phone and took a picture of the empty plates. He was then awarded 157 credit points after the image was uploaded and recognized by artificial intelligence. The credit points can be used to buy gifts, such as books, cellphones and red wine, or to purchase charity meals donated to children in poor rural areas.

The \"Clear Plate\" mini-program has become popular among young Chinese. Similar campaigns like an \"empty plate challenge\" are alsoon the horizonin many Chinese universities.

\"Technological innovation is a good way to reduce food waste,\" said Liu Jichen. Founder of the start-up that developed the app. The idea popped up at a dinner in 2017, when Liu found that the restaurant owner would give diners who polished off their food a card and offer small gifts after a certain number of cards had been collected. \"Everyone who values food is bound to enjoy a sense of gain at a lower cost,\" Liu mentioned this case, noting that such an idea could potentially be realized online.

He formeda team to work on the project. Yet it was quite a challenge for the AI system to assess whether the uploaded photos showed empty plates. To make the AI system smarter，Liu and his team, assisted by more than 1, 000 others, spent half a year collecting over100,000 samples from canteens and restaurants across the country and analyzed the data. Dozens of enterprises, institutions and restaurants have contacted the start-up to cooperate on the project. Through the digitalized, visualized mini- program, people can clearly see the good results of saving food, which will effectively reduce food waste. \"We hope our efforts can start a new trend among the younger generation, encouraging them to develop the habit of thrift(节约),\" Liu said. 12. What does the underlined phrase \"on the horizon\" in paragraph 2 mean?

A. Likely to decrease. B. Likely to succeed. C. Likely to change. D. Likely to appear. 13. What caused Liu Jichen to develop the \"Clear Plate\" app?

A. Food waste afterdinner. B. The idea of the restaurant owner. C. Small gifts sent by his friends. D. Charity meals donated to children. 14. What was difficult for the project Liu's team worked on? A. Making the AI system smarter. B. Assessing the uploaded photos.

C. Collecting samples from canteens and restaurants. D. Encouraging people to develop the habit of thrift. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. AI programs becoming popular.

B. AI programs appearing in many Chinese universities. C. AI programs encouraging diners toclear their plates. D. AI programs collecting pictures of clearing diners' plates. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
