blanks,use one word that best fits each blank.Does the word“imperfect”always convey negative feeling?Have you ever walked to the localgrocery stores produce(农产品)section,only(21)_(see)a basket full of“imperfect produce”?Theres(22)_ wrong with a tomato that isnt perfectly rounded or peaches in different sizes;they still carry the same benefits and flavors as the versions were used to seeing in grocery stores.Farmers usually throw away these imperfect items,as many grocery chains wont accept them for fear(23)_ they are unsellable.However,a growing group of grocery chains are fighting to makethese deserted fruits and vegetables part of consumers buying habits.One such business is Imperfect Produce,a start-up that delivers fresh ugly produce to consumers,with(24)_ service,you can get up to 20 pounds of fruit and veggies for around$20 a week.This is about a 30 percent discount compared to(25)_ is currently sold in stores.So far,thecompany(26)_(accept)as partnership by several big chain wholesale giants,such as WholeFoods Company,to sell the misshapen produce.While this movement might be a new trend here in the US,its already gained serious popularityin Europe.In 2014,the European Union announced the Year Against Food Waste,with a Frenchgrocery chain(27)_(launch)a very successful campaign called Inglorious Fruits andVegetables.In Portugal,a similar company to Imperfect Produce called Fruta Feia has also taken off.Buying these unfortunate-looking foods should be appealing to consumers not only(28)_ the affordability,but also for the support it gives to farmers and the direct impact it has ondecreasing food waste and the environmental pollution.It is believed that when the discarded(丢弃的)fruits and vegetables decompose(分解)they release methane,a greenhouse gas that,when(29)_(release)into the atmosphere,is about 86 times as powerful as carbon dioxide over a 20-yearperiod.The growing amount of food waste is a major global problem.Each year,some 1.3 billion

there are four words or phrases marked A,B,Cand D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.In this world of rapid changes,everything seems to be possible.There will eventually come aday when the New York Times stops41stories on paper.Exactly when that day will be is a matterof debate.“Sometime in the future,”the papers publisher said back in 2010.Nostalgia(怀旧)as people are for ink on paper,there are plenty of reasons to42print.Thebasic facilities required to make a43newspaperprinting presses,delivery trucks isnt justexpensive.Readers are keeping away from print anyway.And though print advertisement sales still44their online and mobile counterparts,income from print is still declining.Cost may be high and circulation lower but rushing to45its print edition would be a mistake,says BuzzFeed CEO Jonah Petretti.Petretti says the Times shouldnt waste time getting out of the print business,but only if they goabout doing it the right way.“Figuring out a way to speed up that46would make sense for them,”he said,but if you discontinue it,youre going to have your most faithful customers really upset withyou.”Sometimes thats well worth47anyway.Petretti gives the example of Netflix48itsDVD-mailing service to focus on streaming(流媒体).“It was once seen as a(n)49,”he said.The move turned out to be foresighted.“If I were in charge at the Times,Iwouldnt pick a year to50print,”Petretti said,“I would raise prices and make it into more of alegacy product,which has some advantage over a modern product,making it appealing for customersto keep it around.”As a matter of fact,the most loyal customers would still get the product they51.The ideagoes,and theyd feel like that they were helping maintain the quality of something they believe in.“Soif youre52print,you could feel like that you were helping,”Peretti said.“Then increase it at ahigher rate each year and essentially try to generate additional53.”In other words,if youre goingto print product,make it for the people who are already obsessed with it,which may be what theTimes is doing already.Getting the print edition seven days a week costs nearly$500 a year morethan twice as much as a digital-only54.“Its a really hard thing to do and its a tremendous luxury that BuzzFeed doesnt have a legacybusiness,”Petretti remarked.“But were going to have questions like that.Were doing

BDirections:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions orunfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the onethat fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read.(A)Raccoons are arguably the most successful urban carnivore(食肉动物)inNorth America.They maintain large populations in most U.S.cities and arecertainly just as common in Chicago,though actual population estimates areunknown.Almost anyone who has spent time outdoors at night has likely seen one,and they are quite difficult to confuse with anything else their fat bodies,andmask-like facial markings,make them quite distinctive,and even perhaps charming.A typical urban raccoon is able to eat virtually anything.Their diet includes earthworms,carrion,plant matter,cat food,and all kind of discarded human food waste.Raccoons are probably the mostadvanced wildlife which can dive our dustbins.Their paws(爪子)are quite dexterous and enablethem to access closed garbage dustbins.Raccoons are also capable climbers and can be found on thetop of fences and in trees.While they are typically solitary,they are willing to tolerate crowds ofother raccoons if high quality food resources are present.They give birth once and sometimes twicea year in late spring and make use of a wide variety of den(巢穴)sites,including hollow trees,chimneys,etc.Because they make dens in a variety of human structures,raccoons can be a source ofhuman-wildlife conflict,through direct confrontation with humans,property damage caused by theiractivities,and,perhaps most critically,through the transmission of disease.Leptospirosis,caninedistemper,raccoon roundworm,and rabies are the most important zoonotic(人畜共患的)diseasescarried by raccoons.Rabies in particular has had a massive effect on raccoon populations and caused apublic health attention,to the point where use of vaccine have been attempted in some cities.In most cases where raccoons are reported by the public,no management action is necessary.Large packs of raccoons,such as those often sighted along the lakeshore path,likely suggest a largeartificial food source,such as people deliberately feeding raccoons on unchecked garbage.These largegatherings present a high disease risk and people should be strongly discouraged from feedingraccoons or leaving food outside for them.In cases where there is evidence of disease,individualraccoons will need to be trapped and killed.56.What do we know about raccoons from the first paragraph?A.They are unknown in Chicago.B.They are easily recognized.C.They tend to attack people at night.D.They are declining in population.57.The word“dexterous”(in paragraph two)probably means“_”.A.skillfulB.mysteriousC.invisibleD.abnormal58.From the sentence“While they are typically”(in paragraph two),we know that raccoons preferto _.A.share foodB.be in crowdC.live separatelyD.hide high quality food59.What do we know from the last paragraph?A.People are encouraged to feed raccoons.B.Raccoons are killed as food source for people.C.Immediate measures are adopted when raccoons are found.D.Extreme actions may be taken to deal with racoons carrying disease.(B)ALCS NEWS Autumn 2021Mavis Cheek(born 1948)is an English novelist,author of 15 novels.Mavis Cheek in conversation about
