2．Elito Circa is a Filipino artist who rose to fame for using his own blood to create canvas（油畫布）paintings，which has attracted both praise and criticism over the years.
Born in a poor family that couldn't afford to buy proper art supplies，Elito Circa experimented with a variety of unusual mediums as a child，including tomatoes，but it was when he accidentally scraped（刮破）his hand that he discovered the art medium that would mark his artistic career—his own blood.He quickly realized that the blood was not only harder to erase from the canvas，but it also made his artworks his own in a way that he had never imagined before.
Every time he scraped his body，young Elito used the blood as paint，but as he grew older he realized that his"paint"needed to be supplied stably，so he started visiting a clinic in Manila to have it drawn periodically.Nowadays，he stops by the clinic about once every three months.He then stores his blood in a freezer in his studio.
Although Elito has been criticized for his use of blood as paint in the past few years，the Filipino artist has always made it clear that he wants to change people's view of blood through his art."People are afraid of blood，because in their minds，blood means death，"Elito said in an interview."But I want to twist that belief.That's why I'm addressing its use because I want people to think that it's not death，but love and life."
It's unclear how much of his own blood Elito Circa has stored in his art studio，but it must be a lot，because he has announced a plan to create the largest ever"blood painting"on a 100-meter canvas next year，expecting to set a new world record.
（1）Why did Elito Circa become well-known？
A．Great details were reflected in his artworks.
B．He used a special art medium in his artworks.
C．He showed extraordinary skills in his artworks.
D．Unique thoughts were expressed in his artworks.
（2）What made Elito Circa paint with blood？
A．His family's economic conditions.
B．His great interest in experiments.
C．His strong desire to stand out.
D．His rich artistic imaginations.
（3）How did Elito achieve a stable supply of"paint"？
A．By keeping himself in shape.
B．By scraping his body periodically.
C．By having his blood drawn regularly.
D．By collecting blood from a local clinic.
（4）Which of the following proverbs can best describe Elito Circa's story？
A．Practice makes perfect.
B．He who laughs last laughs best.
C．God helps those who help themselves.
D．Go your own way regardless of what people say.組卷：9引用：4難度：0.5 -
3．Restaurants，farmers，and food businesses are turning to chemistry and physics to address the problem of food waste.Some companies are testing coverings to slow the ripening process in fruit and packets to keep food fresh.Others are developing digital sensors that can tell when meat is safe to eat.
Experts say growing awareness of the costs of food waste has led to more efforts to deal with the problem.ReFed is a group that studies food waste.It says new businesses raised ﹩300 billion in 2021，double the amount raised in 2020，to solve the problem.The group says that in 2019，around 35 percent of food available in the US—worth about ﹩418 billion—went unsold or uneaten.The US Environmental Protection Agency says that food waste is the largest kind of material placed in local waste areas.And the agency notes that rotting food gives off methane，a gas that is not good for the environment.
ReFed says 225，000 kilograms of food could be kept out of waste areas each year with special，high-tech coverings.Many companies are working on ways to help reduce food waste.Sweden-based Innoscentia is developing a sensor that can show if meat is safe to eat by measuring the build-up of microbes（微生物）inside its container.And Ryp Labs，based in the US and Belgium，is working on a sticker for fruits and vegetables that would give off gas to slow ripening.SavrPak has developed a plant-based packet that can fit inside a container and take in moisture（水分），helping the food inside stay crispy.
"The science is promising，but it's only part of the solution，"said Yvette Cabrera，who is the director of food waste for the Natural Resources Defense Council."Most food waste happens at home.Reducing food sizes，buying smaller quantities，or improving the accuracy of freshness date could have even greater effects than new technology.Overall as a society，we don't value food as it should be valued，"Cabrera said.
（1）According to paragraph 2，food waste in the US has caused.
A．great economic losses
B．seasonal food shortages
C．growing awareness of food safety
D．serious water pollution
（2）What's the function of the high-tech covering developed by SavrPak？
A．Maintaining the freshness of meat.
B．Keeping food from getting wet.
C．Freeing food from microbes.
D．Preventing fruits and vegetables from ripening.
（3）In Cabrera's opinion，what matters more in reducing food waste？
A．Developing new technology.
B．Promoting Empty Plate Campaign.
C．Shortening the process of producing food.
D．Changing people's consuming habit.
（4）What can be the best title for the text？
A．Dealing with Food Waste Calls for Combined Efforts.
B．Public Awareness Is the Key to Handling Food Waste.
C．Food Waste Remains a Hard-to-handle Problem Worldwide.
D．Companies Develop Technologies to Deal with Food Waste.組卷：7引用：5難度：0.5

9．Joe worked as a night watchman in a factory after he graduated from high school.It was a lonely job，but he was content.He stopped by the beach every day on his way home to watch the sunrise.
One day，he was walking on the beach when he noticed a bottle in the surf.Joe picked it up and saw a roll of paper inside it.His heart beat fast.He removed the lid and opened the letter."Hi!My name is Ritchie.I'm sending this message in the hope that somebody will find it and become my friend."
It saddened Joe to think of this boy waiting and hoping somebody would answer his message.He took his cell phone from his pocket and dialed the number written near the bottom of the page.
However，the number didn't exist anymore.Joe was determined to find Ritchie，so he went straight to the city library for help.A librarian took him to a section of the library that felt deserted.There，she pointed him to the shelves filled with old telephone books.She sat down with him，and they searched the telephone books for Ritchie's phone number together.Two hours later，the librarian let out an excited scream."I found him!"
"Thank you，"Joe said，quickly copying down the address.He immediately headed for the address from the phone book.He almost screamed when he saw that the house at the address had been transformed into a hair salon.Joe stared at the sign.He held the message from the bottle in one fist and the paper with the address in the otjye.air.He walked in and explained everything to the barber."Ritchie was born with disabilities.He has been using a wheelchair since he was a kid.Well，he's an old man now.If you still want to find him，I hear he's at the Serenity nursing home."Joe thanked the man and drove to the nursing home.
