A.Store it in refrigerators.B.Throw it away. Though this is a great first step, Arash Dermabarsh, the activist responsible for the grassroots movement that led to the ban, is not done. He now wants to extend the law to other places like restaurants and also try to convince other countries in the European Union to pass similar regulations. These steps are necessary because of the over 9 million tons of food wasted in France。 France39。 Though that may appear cruel, the stores claim they do it to avoid potential food poisoning that could occur if the product is on its way past its expiry. Those who do not obey the new law face the risk of heavy fines. On January 13, 2016, France became the first country in the world to pass a law requiring supermarkets to donate food that is approaching its expiration date (保質(zhì)期) instead of throwing it away. The regulation that applies to supermarkets over 4,000 square feet requires stores to sign official donation agreements with local food banks.7．閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。故選C。一個(gè)世紀(jì)以前，美國(guó)古生物學(xué)家Alfred Romer提出的一個(gè)想法，即潮汐可能導(dǎo)致魚類發(fā)展出四肢，這再次成為一個(gè)熱門話題。但仍有不少?zèng)]有根據(jù)的猜測(cè)。(4)考查主旨大意。(3)考查詞義猜測(cè)。這是因?yàn)榈厍蜻@顆行星以前比現(xiàn)在離月球近了10%。(2)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“Recently, an idea that occurred to the US paleontologist (古生物學(xué)家) Alfred Romer a century ago became a hot topic once again.”和第四段中的“Homer thought that tidal (潮汐的) pools might have led to fish gaining limbs.”可知，是Alfred Romer最先提出了魚類可能因?yàn)槌毕l(fā)展出四肢的理論。A new discovery that questions a previous theory.【答案】（1）A（2）B（3）D（4）C 【解析】【分析】本文為一篇說明文，一些新的證據(jù)驗(yàn)證了先前人們的猜測(cè)理論：即海洋中的動(dòng)物是因?yàn)槌毕淖饔脤?dǎo)致魚類發(fā)展出四肢，遷徙到陸地的。Some new evidence to support a previous theory.B.trapped（4）What is the focus of the article?

A.Hannah Byrne.Charles Darwin.Alfred Romer.s paleontologist Jennifer Clark, speaking to Nature magazine, seemed unconvinced. “It39。s University of Bangor. As he told Science, “After a few days in these pools, you bee food or you run out of food... the fish that had large limbs had an advantage because they could flip (翻轉(zhuǎn)) themselves back in the water.” According to the magazine Science, in 2014, Steven Balbus, a scientist at the University of Oxford in the UK, calculated that 400 million years ago, when the move from land to sea was achieved, tides were stronger than they are today. This is because the planet was 10 percent closer to the moon than it is now. Hannah Byrne is an oceanographer (海洋學(xué)家) at Uppsala University in Sweden. She announced at the 2018 Ocean Sciences Meeting in Oregon, US, that by using puter software, her team had managed to link Homer39。 Homer thought that tidal (潮汐的) pools might have led to fish gaining limbs. Sea animals would have been forced into these pools by strong tides. Then, they would have been made either to adapt to their new environment close to land or die. The fittest among them grew to acplish the transition (過渡) from sea to land. One subject that they guess about is why some 400 million years ago, animals in the sea developed limbs (肢) that allowed them to move onto and live on land.6．閱讀理解故選C。 （4）考查主旨大意。由此可知，這個(gè)測(cè)試的證實(shí)了在室內(nèi)植物間工作可以改善精神功能。根據(jù)第四段中的“Participants working in the room with the plants improved their performance from the first Reading Span Test to the second while those working in the room lacking in greenery did not. Consequently, the benefits of working among plants is indeed evident.”可知，在有植物的房間里工作的參與者從第一次閱讀廣度測(cè)試到第二次閱讀廣度測(cè)試的成績(jī)都有所提高，而在沒有綠色植物的房間里工作的參與者則沒有。故選A。根據(jù)第二段中的“Struggling directive attention(the kind of attention that takes effort can be refreshed through exposure to naturalistic environments.”可知，掙扎的注意力(需要努力的注意力)可以通過置身于自然環(huán)境中來恢復(fù)。故選B。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。s attention. one39。s attention. one39。s authors rounded up a bunch of participants, put some of them in a mom with no plants and put others in a room with our plants placed around a desk, and put them all to the same series of tests. First was a Rearing Span Teat which involves reading a series of sentences aloud and remembering the Last word in each sentence. This task requires that you fluently switch between attention demanding tasks: from rending and memorizing at one moment to writing and recalling at the next. Next came a proofreading task fallowed by another Reading Span Test.s head. But can a head be refreshed simply by being surrounded by houseplants?
