Washing Fruit Befre Eating desn’t Remve Pesticides (杀虫剂)
D yu wash fruit befre putting it int yur muth? If yur answer is yes, the fllwing news may well be 21 (disappint) t yu. Using specific imaging technlgy t see 22 pesticides affected apples, scientists fund distributin f pesticides in the apple skin and flesh layers, cnfirming that the pesticides pass thrugh the skin layer int the flesh layer, accrding t a reprt published recently in America.
“Thus, the risk f pesticide intake frm fruits cannt be avided by simple washing ther than peeling, which means taking the skin ff fruits.” The study’s authrs said they were nt lking t scare 23 abut the presence f pesticides in their fd, but they want t prvide guidance n hw t avid them. This study, 24 (situate) within the expansive research area f fd safety, attempts t prvide cnsumers with health guidance,” said Dngdng Ye, prfessr at Anhui Agricultural University and study authr.
25 bringing up unnecessary anxiety, the research assumes that peeling can effectively wipe ut nearly all pesticide left. This cntrasts with the practice f washing, which 26 (recmmend) frequently. As the reprt says, “traditinal fruit-cleaning peratins cannt whlly remve pesticides,” but “cnsidering that the flesh layer lst during peeling was a great deal 27 (large) than 0.03mm, we believe that the peeling peratin can effectively avid the dangers f pesticides in the fruit’s skin 28 the prbability f taking in pesticides can be reduced.”
Accrding t the mst recent reprt frm the U.S. Department f Agriculture, “befre allwing a pesticide 29 (use) n a fd prduct, the Envirnmental Prtectin Agency sets limits n hw much f the pesticide may be used n fd during grwing, prcessing, and strage, and hw much can remain n the fd 30 reaches the cnsumer.”

III.Reading Cmprehensin (共45分。 41-45每题1分；56-70每题2分)
Sectin A（完形填空）
Directins: Fr each blank in the fllwing passage there are fur wrds r phrases marked A. B.C and D. Fill in each blank with the wrd r phrase that best fits the cntext.
One summer midnight several years ag, standing utside a wden cabin in Michigan River, I lked up. The sky was filled with thusands f stars, the sight f which was almst enugh t make me, a nn-believer, ffer a wrd f 41 up int the star-filled sky. But t whm? Perhaps t Jhan Eklf, authr f The Darkness Manifest.
As a bat scientist, Eklf’s wrk n bats requires a specific kind f darkness—the 42 kind, unplluted by light. But this categry f darkness is 43 . In the 1980s, Eklf tells readers, tw-thirds f the churches in Sweden’s suthwest hused bat clnies. Nt any lnger. “Tday, frty years later, research I’ve dne with my clleagues shws that this number has been reduced by a third, 44 light pllutin and ther factrs. Because the churches are all 45 like carnivals(嘉年华) in the night,” he writes. “We are surrunding urselves with light.”
Excess light is incredibly 46 t the cmplex ec-systems ncturnal (夜间活动的) animals inhabit. It 47 away the bats that Eklf studies. It frightens light-sensitive mths, leaving them easily 48 t predatin(捕食) r flying endlessly int lights that will never return their lve. Baby turtles crawl away frm the shreline tward the lights f distant castal cities and reef fish eggs g unhatched. Birds d nt migrate 49 and even they frget t sing. Mdern advancements such as LED lights culd significantly reduce sme f the wrst impacts, but they have nt. At least, nt yet.
It is wrth mentining that middle-aged writer like Eklf can 50 fr a darker wrld — fr darkened campuses and unlit parking lts. But darkness is nt safe fr everyne. We need t address the scial issues that make lighted places s 51 in the first place.
The bttm line: We can change if we want t. Sme f the slutins t light pllutin— mtin-detecting lights, shielded lights that d nt 52 light upward, artificial light with wavelengths that is similar t natural light—are already within ur grasp, if we just 53 them. “We culd just turn it all ff, but I guess we dn’t want t,” said Eklf in a recent interview. “ 54 , it’s vital we find a middle way.”
Right nw it is hard t knw what that middle way might lk like. In 50 years, every city culd be equipped with an array f prgrammed and 55 lw-impact LED lights. Or we might have cmpletely frgtten what darkness is—the sky filled with little mns.

(A)
As Dr. Pedr Jse grws lder, he keeps setting his gals higher. He believes peple in every walk f life need t cnstantly stretch fr new challenges. His daily juggling act is extremely demanding. He’s a dctr, prfessr, and vlunteer medical directr f Saint Jhn Clinic fr undcumented immigrants. He still pushes n cntinuing t publicize his agenda in the media and serving n numerus bards and fundatins.
In 2002, Jse was named chairman f the bard f the Hispanic Heritage Awards Fundatin. The awards recgnize Hispanics wh make imprtant cntributins t life in America.
Jse believes the stries f Hispanic accmplishments can inspire all Americans. He adds, mst imprtant, the schlarships are ffered by the fundatin. Only tw-thirds f Hispanics graduate frm high schl. T help thers, yu must be able t help yurself, and that begins with educatin.
Jse has received n shrtage f hnrs f his wn, including the prestigius MacArthur Fellwship and the Presidential Service Award. In 1994, Time magazine named him ne f the natin’s 50 tp leaders under the age f 40. And Hispanic magazine named him Hispanic f the Year in 2002.

“As a natin, what makes us great is ur individuality. But what makes us truly pwerful is when we wrk tgether,” says Jse. “If peple put their minds t it, this kind f suffering can be slved.”

(C)
Mre than three billin peple rely n the cean t make a living, mst f whm are in develping cuntries. As the glbal ppulatin increases, the demand fr seafd is expected t rise, t.
Althugh cean ecsystems are stretched t the limit by climate change, verfishing and mre, studies nevertheless suggest that seafd can be expanded sustainably t meet future fd demands. Success will depend n small-scale fisheries. These fisheries can be remarkably efficient. Almst everything that hand-t-muth fisheries catch is cnsumed. By cntrast, arund 20% f the fish caught by industrial ships is estimated t be wasted, mainly because f unwanted by-catch.
Small fishers rarely have the right resurces t expand their peratins, r even t survive. If they d scale up, they might lse sme f their current advantages r engage in the same harmful practices as d large cmmercial fisheries. Managed with care, hwever, small fisheries culd prvide win-wins fr livelihds and the envirnment.
Mst natins already have management plicies fr marine ecsystems that prvide fr small-scale fisheries. But small-scale fishers’ rights t access are ften prly defined, ineffectively enfrced r unfairly distributed (分配). Gvernment subsidies (补贴) als require refrm. One estimate fund that large-scale fishers receive abut 3.5 times mre subsidies than small-scale fishers d. Instead, subsidies and ther funds shuld be directed twards small-scale fishers t let them expand their access t markets, while keeping them frm adpting the negative practices f large-scale peratins.
The ttal glbal lss and waste frm fisheries is estimated at between 30% and 35% annually primarily due t a lack f technlgy, gd manufacturing practices, and infrastructure such as decent rads and cld strage. Public and private investment in cld-strage facilities and prcessing equipment culd help. One prmising strategy is t pair internatinal r natinal funding with direct cntracts fr feeding prgrammes linked t schls, hspitals and similar facilities. Such arrangements wuld prvide small fisheries with large, cnsistent markets and strage infrastructure that bsts lcal cnsumptin and des nt incentivize (刺激) verfishing.
Mrever, simple incentive prgrammes culd be cnducted by funders, managers and lcal gvernments trying t prmte sustainable fisheries. Fr example, lcal markets culd display a rating system fr individual fishers r small fisheries. This culd include varius elements f sustainability ther than envirnmental nes — such as prviding infrmatin n the type f fishing equipment, lcatin f the catch and freshness. Prmting the rating as a scial respnsibility cncept wuld infrm cnsumers f the need t supprt sustainable fisheries.
Anyway, nly jint prblem-slving effrts can deliver seafd prtein, sustainably, t a wrld that increasingly needs it.
63．The passage mainly tells us that ________.
A．small fisheries can help the wrld if managed with care
B．the glbal demand fr seafd is increasing dramatically
C．small-scale fisheries need t be cmmercialised urgently
D．peple in develping cuntries are mre reliable n fishing
64．Small-scale fisheries are mre efficient because ________.
A．what they catch is hardly wastedB．their by-catch accunts fr a larger share
C．they catch fish by industrial meansD．their peratin is limited within a small area
65．What can be inferred abut small fisheries’ current situatin?
A．They gain n supprt frm gvernments.B．They are expanding t meet lcal demands.
C．They have little access t gd resurces.D．They impact marine ecsystems negatively.
66．T prmte sustainable fisheries, which f the fllwing is ne f the authr’s suggestins?
A．T initiate a rating system fr small fishers t evaluate the lcal markets.
B．T prvide technlgy fr small fisheries t bst their fishing efficiency.
C．T inspire a sense f scial respnsibility in large-scale fishers and cnsumers.
D．T facilitate direct cperatin between small fisheries and feeding prgrammes.

Is Human Brain T Full?
The brain is a seemingly endless library, whse shelves huse ur mst precius memries as well as ur lifetime’s knwledge. But is there a pint where it reaches capacity? The answer is n, because brains are mre cmplicated than that. Instead f just crwding in, ld infrmatin is smetimes pushed ut f the brain fr new memries t frm. Previus behaviral studies have shwn that learning new infrmatin can lead t frgetting. 67
In daily life, frgetting actually has clear advantages. Imagine, fr instance, that yu lst yur bank card. The new card yu receive will cme with a new persnal identificatin number (PIN). Each time yu remember the new PIN, yu gradually frget the ld ne. 68 And mst f us may smetimes feel the frustratin f having ld memries interfere with new, relevant memries. Cnsider trying t remember where yu parked yur car in the same car park yu were at a week earlier. This type f memry (where yu are trying t remember new, but similar infrmatin) is particularly vulnerable t interference.
69 When we search infrmatin, bth relevant and irrelevant infrmatin will appear. The majrity f previus research has fcused n hw we learn and remember new infrmatin. But current studies are beginning t place greater emphasis n the cnditins under which we frget, as its imprtance begins t be mre appreciated.
A very small number f peple are able t remember almst every detail f their life. 70 In a sense, frgetting is hw ur brains categrize memries, s the mst relevant memries are ready t be taken ut. Nrmal frgetting may even be a safety mechanism t ensure ur brain desn’t becme t full.
A．While it may sund like an advantage t many, peple with this rare cnditin ften find their unusual ability stressful.
B．But in a new study researchers demnstrated fr the first time hw this effect ccurs in the brain.
C．In the future, with the deepening f brain science research, human beings will eventually unlck the secrets f the brain.
D．This prcess imprves access t relevant infrmatin, withut ld memries interfering.
E．When we btain new infrmatin, the brain autmatically attempts t make it int existing infrmatin by frming assciatins.
F．The utside wrld is a judgment f the brain, but humans just dn’t realize it.
IV.Summary Writing（写作概要）
Directins: Read the fllwing passage. Summarize the main idea and the main pint( s)f the passage in n mre than 60 wrds. Use yur wn wrds as far as pssible.
Hw t Be a Better Bss
Wrkplaces have changed dramatically ver the past few years. Teams have becme mre islated wing t remte wrk. Technlgy has brught great benefits but als cnstant interruptins, frm endless Zm calls t message flws n Slack. With each shift, the jb f the manager has becme harder. Many reprt feeling burnt-ut, verladed and cnfused.
Yet in real life everyne suffers when management is bad and benefits when it is gd Research based n a lng-running survey f management techniques has fund that well-managed firms tend t be mre prductive, exprt mre and spend mre n research and develpment.
S the prize fr better management is big. But hw t btain it? Read enugh management bks and yu might cnclude that managers need t change their persnality thrughly, becming either Machiavelli’s prince r a Marvel superher. Hwever, study successful managers, and mre practical lessns can be drawn.
One is t be clear abut a firm’s prcesses. Managers shuld make clear the purpse f a team, what a meeting shuld achieve and wh will take a decisin. Meeting agendas at GSK, a British drugs firm, clearly say whether an item is fr awareness, t gather participants’ input r intended t make a decisin. Such clarity means that everyne knws what they are ding, and why.
Management isn’t all abut piling up tasks, meetings r prcesses. A secnd lessn is that managers can add value by deleting. Sparing wrkers frm pintless meetings, emails and prjects frees them t cncentrate n the wrk that fattens the bttm line. At the start f the year, Shpify, an e-cmmerce firm, deleted 12,000 repeated meetings frm its emplyees’ calendars. The useful nes were eventually added back. But the firm says that meetings are dwn by 14% since the mass deletin while prductivity has gne up by a similar amunt.

15 TH OCT 2023 CULTURE
Gazelle Twin, a cmpser, prducer, and musician, pens up abut being a cnceptual artist and establishing a unique identity ahead f the release f her new album (专辑), Black Dg.
Q: Wuld yu describe yur music as cnceptual?
A: Cnceptual is a gd term. I dn’t make music just fr the sake f making music. My recrds are inspired by themes. I spend a cnsiderable amunt f time befre writing the music, learning abut subjects related t the theme. Then I wrk n the structure f the album. Ideas can change. Fr example, Black Dg was riginally abut ghsts (幽灵), but I ended up with an album abut my childhd experiences, thrugh t adulthd and parenthd, and the anxiety and fear that has been with me during that time.
Q: Thrughut the album, there is a sense f an bserver. Is that persn yurself, r anther presence?
A: Bth. There is the vice f depressin and anxiety, and als this ther persn yu knw is always there. I thught f having this minus presence (不祥之兆) arund yu. There is als that sense f being ut in the wrld, as a wman, aware f my vulnerability (脆弱). Fr example, just ging fr a walk is never simple. We have t build prtective instincts arund urselves.
Q: When yu started ut, did yu have any idea f the kind f artist yu wanted t be?
A: I knew I didn’t want t fit a fixed style r be restricted by being female. I wanted t be flexible. I like t think in scale and f mre than I can achieve as ne persn. I like artists with unique identities.
Q: What wuld be yur advice t anyne with ambitins t becme a musician?
A: Fllw yur instincts. Put yurself ut there withut pressure t be “finished”. Absrb things, experiment, and allw yurself t fllw a jurney where yu dn’t knw where yu will end up. Being successful cmmercially takes a team and time. Yu have t lve it and be in it fr the lng jurney.
Q: Fast frward ten years, where d yu want t be?
A: I wuld lve t carry n fllwing my instincts and making albums. I wuld like mre f a cllectin f TV and film scres because I enjy writing scres and cperative wrk.
