3.You might easily gain access to fresh fruit and vegetables,but this isn't the case in some parts of America.The U.S.has many areas that are considered as food deserts,which are defined as parts of the country short of fresh fruit,vegetables and other healthy food,usually found in poor areas.
Food deserts are urban areas where the nearest grocery store is more than 1 mile away,and rural areas where the nearest grocery store is more than 10 miles away.According to the USDA,19 million Americans-or 6.2% of the population-live in places that can be considered as food deserts.
The issue isn't necessarily about the difference in cost between healthy and unhealthy foods in these areas but it's about a lack of access to healthy choices at all.And,with the lack of healthy food choices,these areas typically have a large supply of unhealthy foods sold at fast-food companies and convenience stores.
Eating unhealthy foods can lead to overweight,which puts people at risk for all kinds of major health issues,including high blood pressure,heart disease,and some cancers.
But some people,especially those who cannot afford a car,are stuck with eating what' s readily available.In the case of food deserts,it' s usually the type of food that can lead to overweight.Studies have shown that this is likely to be a problem in low-income areas.When money is not enough,people tend to buy foods that last longer and remove food waste,which is a waste of their limited income.
Lack of access is only one part of the problem,however.The bigger issue was likely the lack of education and nutritional knowledge in these communities,which prevents people with lower incomes from understanding the benefits of healthy eating.
While overweight is a significant issue in these communities,the cost of unhealthy eating isn't just physical.A study found that 71 billion dollars in healthcare costs due to chronic(慢性的)diseases could be saved through healthier eating.
(1)What can we infer from the first two paragraphs?
A.6.2% of the Americans live in poor areas.
B.Some parts of the USA lack fresh vegetables.
C.Some people in America don't need fresh fruit.
D.People in the food deserts buy fresh vegetables easily.
(2)Why can fast-food companies sell large amounts of unhealthy food in the food deserts?
A.These areas are rich in unhealthy food materials.
B.The fast food sold in the food deserts are of lower cost.
C.Healthy food choices are unavailable in these areas.
D.People in these areas prefer unhealthy food to healthy food.
(3)We can learn from Paragraph 5 that the low-income people
A.a(chǎn)re less likely to have overweight problems.
B.a(chǎn)re not delighted to prepare food for themselves.
C.have to buy food that can be preserved longer.
D.a(chǎn)re used to eating food donated by food companies.
(4)What stops people from understanding healthy eating benefits in the food deserts?
A.Their high healthcare cost due to the chronic diseases.
B.Their long established eating habits.
C.The government's lack of financial support.
D.Their lack of education and knowledge in nutrition.組卷:4引用:1難度:0.5 -
4.The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released a report stating that the world is quickly running out of time to keep global warming below 1.5 degrees Celsius.To get there,the world would have to cut current emissions by 45 percent by 2030.That sounds absurdly unlikely.
But before we give in to hopelessness,we should remember that the technology to deal with climate change is going along at high speed.The largest source of U.S.carbon emissions is transportation,and a Green New Deal for motor vehicles would be quite straightforward.The reason is simple:with some government subsidies(補貼),electric cars and buses are now cost-competitive with fossil-fuel vehicles.Electric buses have made the greatest speed into the market,because they are a logical choice for electrification.By the end of 2018,electric vehicles were replacing about 280,000 barrels of oil demand per day-about 84 percent of which was mainly consumed by buses.
The electric car market is also reaching maturity,with appealing designs,longer range,and a quickly-expanding rapid charging network in many countries.It's worth emphasizing that most of the infrastructure(基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施)necessary to recharge electric vehicles already exists.People often tend to think that we need to replace every gas station,but actually all homes and businesses already have an electrical connection which can be easily improved for fast charging.All that is needed to go fully electric is enough battery capacity and fast charging stations to deal with long trips.
Now America would have to repair its electricity production,freight rail,shipping,and so on to fully decarbonizes(脫碳)the transportation sector,which will be considerably more difficult than simply rooting out fossil fuel vehicles from the market.
But greening America's vehicle would be straightforward,relatively cheap,and a huge step forward on climate.The politics of climate change are so fearful that being hopeless can seem logical,but the first step to achieving a tough goal is the confident belief that it can be done.And this particular step wouldn't even be that tough.
(1)How's the goal of keeping global warming below 1.5 Celsius according to Paragraph 1?
A.Reasonable.
B.Safe.
C.Realistic.
D.Impossible.
(2)Compared with fossil-fuel vehicles,electric vehicles now
A.a(chǎn)re cost-competitive with government subsidies.
B.run at a greater speed on the road.
C.deal with longer trips.
D.look more appealing.
(3)What should we do to promote electric cars now?
A.Replace as many as gas stations.
B.Build more infrastructures for recharging.
C.Make businesses have electrical connections.
D.Solve the problem of long trips.
(4)According to the passage,what is the author's attitude to electric vehicles?
A.Negative.
B.Supportive.
C.Uncertain.
D.Indifferent.組卷:6引用:1難度:0.5
