Too Good To Go
Around the country, apps that connect customers to businesses with leftover food have begun to spread. The
___31___ is simple: Restaurants and grocery stores throw away huge amounts of food every day. Rather than
___32___ it, apps like Too Good To Go and Flashfood help businesses sell it at a reduced price. They claim that the
businesses and buyers are helping the environment because the food would otherwise become food waste, a big
contributor to climate change.
In the United States, customers in 12 cities can look through restaurants and stores on Too Good To Go, then
reserve “surprise bags” that typically cost about $4 to $6 and contain food that would have been ___33___ at
roughly three times that amount.
Several food waste experts expressed ___34___ that these types of apps could help limit the amount of wasted
food. And even though charitable organizations often redirect unwanted food from restaurants and grocery stores to
food banks and community kitchens, there’s space for all of these kinds of solutions to ___35___.

there in hopes of attracting new customers.Mr. Crummie, the Too Good To Go director, said the app ___39___ this type of behavior. “If somebody is

2023届上海市长宁区高三下学期二模
After five long years, it appears California’s drought is finally becoming less severe. ___41___ a recent string
of storms, more than a third of the state has now welcomed healthy precipitation (降水量), and California’s
snowpack—a(n) ___42___ source of water as the year progresses—has reached nearly twice its seasonal average in
some parts of the Sierra Nevada. That’s a dramatic improvement over last summer, when literally every inch of the
state ___43___ drought conditions. It’s also welcome news for Californians, who have faced a series of water
___44___ since Governor Jerry Brown declared a state of emergency in early 2014. Farmers have been forced to
spend heavily to maintain production.
The state’s water struggles, ___45___, are far from over. For one, nobody knows for sure how long these rains
will last. Although recent precipitation has been ___46___—in some places more than 80 inches—the accuracy of
storm forecasting remains ___47___ beyond a week. Californians know this all too well: last year, experts
projected a “Godzilla” El Niño that would bring record levels of precipitation. It never ___48___. “Will six weeks
from now be wet?” asks Jeanine Jones, California’s interstate water-resources manager. “The skill in that kind of
forecasting is just not there.”
___49___, a storm slowdown is a very real possibility—and it could leave California without enough water to
make it through the dry summer. ____50____, when that happens, the state has turned to groundwater stored in
natural rock formations deep beneath the earth’s surface. But those ____51____ remain used up after years of
drought; restoring them could take years in some places, says Jones.
The quick inrush of water has also created a(n) ____52____ balancing act for water managers. Keeping
surface reservoirs (水库) filled to the edge protects against the possibility of a sudden dry spell, but it also
____53____ the risk of flooding if and when future storms hit. To that end, water managers opened the Sacramento
Weir floodgates earlier this month to pour reservoir water into nearby fields after ____54____ showed local water
levels would likely continue to rise. That’s a calculation that will be made across the state in the coming months.
For now, though, Jones is focused on planning and ensuring the state’s water supply whatever may happen.“We’re halfway through our wettest season, and conditions have been encouraging,” she says. “I would say we’re
____55____ optimistic.”

A notable highlight of the show was the real confidence of the
singing. Sam Hall was a joy to watch, with perfect comic timing, as was
Emma Williams, thoroughly believable and convincing in her role. These
two young talents stole the show, in my opinion. The only disadvantage
is appointments were the dancing, which showed a lack of originality, and
the opening scene, which fell a little flat. Despite the occasional technical
flaws, this was a highly enjoyable and greatly impressive production,
which the company should be proud of.
I was really looking forward to Jonathan Baker’s latest, which is set
in an imagined, but realistic, London of the scar future. But I found this
new effort was act down by the slightly one-dimensional characterization,
and the writing is below standard for the most part : some of the early
scents between Martha and her husband are slightly boring. The superb
characterization and ambition that baker demonstrated in his previous
novels seem to be missing here. Baker’ commitment to describing the
lives of ordinary people is admirable, but the whole thing is lacking in
energy.
This is episode number three in the nearly twenty-year-old series,
delivering a very attractive and interesting story and loads of comedy.
There is some strong writing and voice acting, but the new episode
chooses to go for a linear (线性的) narrative, with some puzzle included
along the way, which is less involving than the theme of exploration and
conversation which previous episode have depended on. Besides, the
puzzle are not particularly engaging, and many of them have been seen
before in other adventure games. The visuals are extremely impressive, of
course, as we have come to expect, this time featuring venues in
Catalonia. But overall, a slight disappointment.
60. The underlined phrase “ stole the show ” most probably means______.
A. disappointed the producer B. ruined the whole performance
C. attracted the most attention D. exhibited excessive confidence
61. Which of the following statements about Jonathan Baker is TRUE ?
A. He excels in one-dimensional characterization.B. His novels center around ordinary people’s lives.
C. His novels show consistent super characterization and ambition.
D. He is passionate about presenting realistic images of future London.
62. The puzzle in episode number three______.
A. are integrated in the narrative B. arc appealing to the audience
C. deal with the theme of exploration D. are absent in other adventure games

Research into language learning and motivation has changed direction over the past two decades, shifting from
what are now considered overly-simplistic models of motivation, such as “integrativeness” (where students are
motivated to learn an L2 because they wish to join a community that speaks this language) and “instrumentalism”
(where motivation comes from a desire for financial or some other sort of return). Motivation to learn has now been
linked to a second-language identity, which is not conceptualised as static, but dynamic, shifting and open to
change. Some research studies have focused on investment in ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages)
settings in English-speaking countries: how students invest in the target language in order to get certain returns, not
only financial but also related to status, an idea which Bonny Norton Peirce notes as having been borrowed from
the sociologist Pierre Bourdieu. There is also growing research in the area of “future selves” and language learning,
such as that by Zoltán Dörnyei and Ema Ushioda and by Jill Hadfield.
Studies into second language identity have revealed the investment committed to building up an identity in
English in the lives of economic migrants (移民) and those choosing to settle long-term in English-speaking
countries. David Block conducted research into economic migrants living in London, revealing how they invest
through study opportunities, seeking out locals to speak to, or using English in work. Each of his case studies
reveals different features and patterns in these subjects’ lives.
Yet it is also true that second-language identity formation is alive in EFL (English as a Foreign Language)
contexts, if I may draw a distinction from the ESOL further-education context (in the UK and the US). In an age of
globalisation and internationalisation, the role of English has come into much sharper focus, and such a changed
global reality poses new questions about motivation to learn. Dörnyei argues that we are now dealing with “global
English”, and that its acquisition is related to building up “a global identity”. I put the case that international
English language examinations, such as those offered by Cambridge English, are a powerful symbol of cultural
capital, offering returns full of imagery and entry to imagined communities. Imagined communities, it has beenargued, are imagined personal networks of the future, whether social, professional or even international. Investment
and the motivation to learn can spring from the desire to belong to these imagined communities. How this imagery
and investment relates to their own students should be something that teachers become familiar with.
63. The word “static” (in paragraph 1) is the closest in meaning to ______.
A. unchanging B. movable C. identified D. focused
64. Which of the following is the new motivation for learning English according to the passage?
A. To plan for a brighter future abroad.
B. To contribute to increasing globalization.
C. To establish a second-language identity.
D. To expect substantial investment returns.
65. It can be concluded from the passage that ______.
A. teachers may have no idea about their students’ needs
B. the motivation to learn English changes with the times
C. imagined communities are most likely to be exclusive
D. English competence testing is a gateway into new contexts
66. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A. An investment in language studies
B. A question of second-language identity
C. An access to ESOL and EFL
D. A debate about motivation to learn

As a botanists who studies our cultural relationship with plants, I am forever fascinated with what draws
people to gardening.
Admittedly, connecting with the natural world might seem like an obvious motivation, and undoubtedly it is a
key part of the attraction.___67___ If they were, we’d abandon any attempts at design, planting or care and watch
how walls of weeds slowly gave way to the mass of bushes. But that wouldn’t be gardening, of course, because for
all their diversity, the one thing that all gardens have in common is how unnatural they are.___68___ Dazzling
plants, watch features and glorious blooms is all interconnected well beyond what would naturally occur. Whetherit is green lawns created in the driest deserts or a tropical paradise on a stormy North Atlantic island, they are all
about shaping the natural world to fit our idea of what it “ should” be.
As I work on my tiny terrariums (玻璃花园) on dark February nights, something magical happens to my
brain. ___69___ In a world that has become increasingly uncertain, people are often fuelled by the same
psychological desire: the instinctive need to have a bit of control amid chaos.
As our world becomes more and more unpredictable and often frightening, gardening seems to be able to
appeal to and reach out to a whole new generation, often against all odds.
Of course, gardening in’ t the only thing people turn to. The rise of culture conflicts and fix at ion on body
image have also been widely documented as being driven by a psychological need to feel a degree of certainty,
control and safety. However, I can’t help but think of these alternatives: ___70___
A. In reality gardens are anything but natural.
B. What are the things they have been attracted to?
C. They are idealized landscape with all the mud, pests and dead plants edited out.
D. How much better a place the planet would be if gardening was our outlet for this need!
E. Much like agriculture, gardening is a universal human desire coded into our cultural DNA.
F. The calmness created by owning a tiny green space under my control has a powerful effect on my mind.
Ⅳ. Summary Writing

Is Binge-watching the New Addiction?
Have you ever loved a TV show? I mean really loved it? Like, you can’t wait to get to work to talk about it?
What about the cliffhanger? That’s the unsolved situation at the end of the episode which makes you want to watchthe next one. But, when will the next one be?
Binge-watching is when a person watches more than one episode of a show quickly. With developments in the
speed and connectivity of the internet, increases in technology and the rise of on-demand entertainment companies,
people can now have their favourite shows streamed directly to their television at their convenience.
However, this amazing gift may in fact be harmful. Recent research from British media watchdog Ofcom (英
国通信管理局) finds that out of the more than half of British adults who watch more than one episode of a show
back-to-back, almost a third have admitted missing sleep or becoming tired as a result; and one quarter have
neglected their housework. Next we’ll be missing work!
Bingeing has other connections — binge eating, binge drinking and binge smoking, all of which are often
associated with compulsive behaviour, a lack of control and a possible route to addiction. If people find binge-
watching hard to resist, coupled with the fact that it has shown to lead to failure of attention in many, are we
witnessing the birth of a new type of addiction?
The numerous information and entertainment that television and online media can bring us is, many would
say, a good thing. However, like any behaviour done to extremes, it can become dangerous. And when the activity
begins to enter other areas, causing us to stop functioning — then it becomes a problem. So, what’s the answer?
Moderation! Neither a tiny amount, nor too much. After all, as the old proverb says, a little of what you fancy does
you good.
