Now, there are apps that can help people learn about the food they eat to improve their health and their dining-out experience.HappyCow appVegetarians do not eat animal meat. Vegans do not eat any animal products. The HappyCow app is made for both groups. Users can search for vegetarian-vegan restaurants and stores around the world.A version of HappyCow for $ 5 is available for Android that has ads and requires an Internet connection.OpenTable appThe OpenTable app with a price of $ 10 helps people choose restaurants when they want to go out to eat. It is a service that shows users restaurants available based on where and when they want to dine.

Bol’s mother had been a teacher who had loved reading. He decided to build a wooden box and fill it with books. Bol placed the box of books on a post in his front yard with a sign that read “Free Books”. Soon his neighbours noticed this tiny model of a “schoolhouse”. They began taking the books and replacing them with books of their own. The tiny library allowed people the opportunity to “check out” books day or night.Bol’s friends and neighbours wanted li ttle libraries of their own. Bol built several and gave them away. One of his friends, Rick, believed that Bol’s little libraries could benefit more than just local friends and neighbours. With these ideas in mind, Bol and Rick came up with a plan to build over 2,500 Little Free Libraries around the world. They believed that books should be available to all people, no matter where they live or what their background is. To help achieve their goal, Bol and Rick created a website that provides information about the Little Free Libraries and how people can establish little libraries of their own.Thanks to Bol and Rick, the Little Free Libraries are encouraging people to read more. They didn’t just provide books. They also helped build friendships and a sense of belonging among community members. As more and more people visited Bol’s little library, they began talking with one another. They shared thoughts, ideas, and stories. They got to know one another. Everyone loved the little library. After all, as Bol says, “It’s a magic box with books. People tell us all the time that they’ve met more people in a week than they have in a lifetime.”Today there are more than 25,000 Little Free Libraries around the world, and they can be found on almost every continent.1. From whom did Todd Bol get the idea of Little Free Libraries?A．His mother. B．His teacher. C．His neighbours. D．His friends.2. Bol and Rick created a website mainly to ______.A．make more money B．establish online librariesC．replace paper books with e-books D．provide information and guidance3. What have the Little Free Libraries brought to the community?A．New buildings. B．More visitors.C．Friendly relationships. D．Green environment.4. What can we learn from the story?A．Well begun, half done. B．Don’t judge a book by its cover.C．A friend in need is a friend indeed. D．Little people can make a big difference.3. Dogs are our best friends. That’s especially true after a disaster, such as an earthquake. When buildings fall down, search and rescue dogs help find trapped people. Dogs’ amazing noses can pick up the smell of survivors. Now scientists have developed an electronic tool that does the same thing. It’s taking smell detection(探测) to a whole new level.The new invention is a sort of electronic nose, which can detect extremely low levels of many compounds(化合物) from people’s skin. This isn’t the first time engineers have developed such an object. Earlier models, however, have been bulky and expensive. They could not detect low levels of target compounds either. The new one is inexpensive and small enough to fit inside hand-held equipment.The electronic nose can detect extremely slight smell of more than one compound at the same time. "Being able to do this, in such a small object, is the significant discovery," says Sotiris E. Pratsinis, Professor of Process Engineering&Materials Science at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich. His team tested it in special spaces. They were like the small spaces where people might be trapped. Chemicals given off by the volunteers built up inside. The electronic equipment detected those compounds at unbelievably low levels.The results were good news for the research team. But they may be not for our four-legged friends, who could soon be out of a job. "Ideally, this technology could replace search and rescue dogs," Pratsinis says.Stephen Taylor, an electrical engineer, agrees that the new technology has some benefits over dogs. Still, he thinks it may be too soon to have our trusty friends retire. He suspects, "I foresee that such an object could add to the fine work done by the dogs." Taylor also pointed out some potential limitations of the new invention. "E-noses are useful, but can be very likely to be affected by unstable readings and interruption," he says.1. Why does the author talk about dogs at the beginning?A．To catch the readers’ attention.B．To introduce the topic about e-noses.C．To show what search and rescue dogs do.D．To add background information for discussion.2. Which of the following best explains "bulky" underlined in paragraph 2?A．Complex B．FragileC．Handy D．Large3. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A．What e-noses’ working principle is.B．How e-noses are made.C．What differences between dogs and e-noses are.D．How powerful e-noses are.4. What does Stephen Taylor mean?A．Dogs and e-noses could work together.B．Search and rescue dogs will retire soon.C．E-noses are more reliable than noses of dogs.D．Dogs are better at finding out trapped people.4. An astronaut crew of private citizens has been launched to the International SpaceStation(ISS).The launch happened in Florida’s Kennedy Space Center. The flight is the first to be organized and operated by a private company involving a completely commercial astronaut crew.The four-member team will travel to the ISS inside a spacecraft built by American company SpaceX. The crew members are from the private company Axiom Space based in Houston, Texas. The group is led by retired NASA astronaut Michael Lopez-Alegria. The mission is called Ax-1. Lopez-Alegria will be joined by the mission pilot, Larry Conner, a businessman and private pilot from Ohio. The other members of the crew are Israeli fighter pilot Eytan Stibbe and Mark Pathy, a Canadian businessman. Stibbe and Pathy will serve as mission specialists.NASA says it will cooperate with Axiom mission officials to plan joint activities involving the Axiom team and regular ISS crew members. Currently, there are three American astronauts aboard the ISS, along with a German astronaut and three Russian astronauts.The launch is being praised as a turning point in the latest expansion of commercial space activities. Such activities have become known in the industry as the low-Earth orbit(轨道) economy, or the “LEO economy”.T he latest mission’s crew might seem similar to private space tourists who recently took space rides that did not reach orbit. The trips aim to fly private citizens to the edge of space and permit them to experience weightlessness and observe Earth.But Axiom executives(经理、主管领导) say their mission is very different. “We are not space tourists,” Lopez-Alegria says. The Ax-1 team will be carrying equipment and supplies for 26 science and technology experiments. They include research in areas including brain and heart health, cancer and aging.Axiom’s co-founder and executive chairman, Kam Ghaffarian, says he saw the launch as “the beginning of many beginnings for commercializing low-Earth orbit”. He adds: “We’re like in the early days of the Internet, and we hav en’t even imagined all the possibilities, all the capabilities, that we’re going to be providing in space.”1. Who have been launched from Florida’s Kennedy Space Center to the ISS?A．The four-member private astronaut crew.B．The four crew members from SpaceX.C．The four professional astronauts.D．The four private space tourists.2. Who is the pilot of the mission Ax-1?A．Mark Pathy. B．Larry Conner.C．Eytan Stibbe. D．Michael Lopez-Alegria.3. Why does Lopez-Alegria say they were not space tourists?A．They will help with the astronauts’ work in the ISS.B．They will experience weightlessness.C．They will do scientific researches in the ISS.D．They will just fly to the edge of space.4. What does Kam think of the LEO economy?A．It is the beginning of space tourism.B．It is just an imagination.C．It is faced with more uncertainties.D．It is a promising business.5. There has been a very serious decline in the numbers of shallow-water fish as a result of overfishing. People still want to eat fish, so the fishing industry must look at other sources, especially the deep waters of the Atlantic. 1Conservation measures will have to be put in place if these deep-sea fish are to survive. Research on five such species shows that numbers have declined by between 87 percent and 98 percent. 2 Many species could well disappear completely if the present trend continues. These are species that have been swimming in our oceans for hundreds of millions of years.The problem is emphasized by the fact that the decline in numbers happened in less than twenty years. Deep-sea fish take a long time to reproduce and normally live for many years. 3 The average size of such fish also declined, with one species showing a 57 percent decline in average size. This is of particular concern, as large fish tend to produce more offspring than small ones.4 The deep-sea species have been caught as if they were the fast-breeding (快速繁殖) fish like sardine and herring. It is like killing elephants as if they reproduced at the same rate as rabbits.The damage done by overfishing goes beyond the sea environment. Millions of people make a living in the fishing industry. 5 Measures must be taken to not only conserve ecosystems, but also sustain livelihoods and ensure food security.6.
