A
Wedding cakes have their roots in ancient Rome, when marriage ceremonies ended with a wheat cake broken
over the bride’s head for luck. The British people brought this tradition one step further, throwing the bread at the
bride to show best wishes. In the medieval days, all the baked goods were piled high (the higher the better) and the
couple attempted to kiss over the pile. If the pile remained well without falling off, they were assured a lifetime of
happiness.
In the 1600s, a French chef was quite shocked by the uncouth piling custom and recommended a more elegant
piling system. However, this tasteful practice didn’t become popular until later. In some places, it was thought that
eating a pie ensured couples would have a happy life together.
In the 17th century “bride pie” became popular. Within it was a glass ring which was used in a similar way to
the bouquet (花束) today: whichever woman found it was meant to be next in line to get married.
The popularity of tiered wedding cakes came as a result of a baker’s student in late 18th-century London. A
man called William Rich fell in love with his boss’s daughter. He was impressed by the shape of St Bride’s church.
So when he asked the girl to marry him, he wanted to surprise her with a large, beautiful cake of that shape.
It was the wedding of Queen Victoria in 1840 that really set the fashion for weddings — the dresses and cakes
both became big and white. Sugar was then cheaper and it became much easier for working-class families to follow
the fashion. During the Second World War, there were limited wedding cake options for the average people.
Colorants (着色剂) made fruit cakes look colorful or cardboard cakes were rented and the real, smaller cake was
put inside.
1. In medieval times, how would a new couple pray for happiness?
A. By breaking a cake together.
B. By throwing the bread at each other’s head.
C. By offering the wedding guests some baked goods.
D. By kissing successfully without knocking over the baked food.
2. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “uncouth” in Paragraph 2?
A. Funny. B. Careful. C. Rude. D. Difficult.第 2 页 共 8 页
3. According to the last paragraph, people during World War Two ____________.
A. reduced some wedding celebrations
B. enjoyed having cheap wedding cakes
C. could mainly afford white wedding cakes
D. used some tricks to make wedding cakes look better

Yellowstone’s wolves are back, helping restore parts of the ecosystem that changed greatly a century ago. But
Yellowstone is still not 100% back to normal and it may never be.
The park completely changed after humans killed all the gray wolves in Yellowstone in the mid-1920s due to
predator control efforts. Elk (麋鹿) herds increased rapidly over the next 70 years, damaging large amounts of land
and trees such as willows and aspens. Fewer trees sent the songbird population into decline. Beavers ( 狸河 ) lost
their food source and the wood to build their dams. The lack of those dams caused streams to be damaged,
destroying the conditions which willows need to grow.
Today, nearly 25 years after wolves were reintroduced into the park, the top predators are helping parts of the
ecosystem bounce back. Yellowstone’s partial recovery has set off a heated debate.
“You put the predator back, which is great, but conditions have changed so much that putting the predator
back is not enough to bring the ecosystem to the former conditions,” said Tom Hobbs, an ecology professor.
“There’s not a quick fix for mistakes. Maintaining undamaged ecosystems may be simple, but after you’ve lost
some of the parts, repairing them is a big project,” Hobbs said.
Most ecologists agree that Yellowstone has recovered some. When Doug Smith, Yellowstone National Park’s
wolf biologist, first arrived in 1994, some willow and aspen trees only came up to his knees. “Now I can’t see
through it,” he said. “It’s like a forest.”
Despite all the disagreements, most ecologists say removing predators today would be a mistake. “The way
ecosystems put themselves back together after such a problem is still something that scientists are trying to
understand,” Bill Ripple said. “The lesson is — let us not make the same mistake as they did 70 years ago.”
4. What happened after Yellowstone’s wolves were killed?
A. The elk population declined.
B. Willow trees became even fewer.
C. Beavers caused damage to streams.
D. Humans continued to kill other predators.
5. What might Tom Hobbs agree with?
A. Wolves are unable to restore ecosystems.
B. Protecting the ecosystem is easier than fixing it.第 3 页 共 8 页
C. Yellowstone’s ecosystem is too fragile to repair.
D. People need to find a quick fix for their mistakes.
6. What does the author intend to tell us in the last paragraph?
A. Most ecologists agree to remove the predator.
B. Scientists have understood how ecosystems work.
C. There is still much to rethink about the ecosystem.
D. The ecosystem can go back to normal sooner or later.
C
Food waste is a global problem, but in the developed world, where our farming and manufacturing (制造的)
practices are efficient, the food waste still commonly occurs. In UK homes, 77% of waste is either unnecessary
(food that has been perfectly good) or possibly unnecessary (food that some people eat, but others don’t, such as
potato skins and meat fat). This means an annual cost of more than £740.
It seems too easy to say that consumers should be responsible for reducing these serious levels of waste. The
relative low cost of food almost forces a consumer society to buy more food than it can eat. But the providers also
drive this through brand advertising and clever pricing strategies. So both of them have a part to play. For the
consumers, wasting less food equals saving more money and causing less environmental pollution. For the
providers, the drive is less clear: selling less food equals less profit.
So how can providers help consumers reduce food waste, but still remain profitable? The price of food seems
a pretty obvious place to start. Consumers currently spend around 11% of their income on food and drink. Five
decades ago, the figure was three times higher, so naturally people wasted less. But increasing the price of food so
that consumers value it more is likely to be very unpopular and impractical.
There is therefore a way for food providers to help consumers meet their families’ needs by selling meals, not
food. Planning meals and then ordering them off the Internet for home delivery might build better relationships
between providers and consumers. Even if consumers pay more for food which is delivered when wanted and
actually gets eaten, it would be easy to get and could well end up being cheaper overall.
Whichever approaches help successfully reduce food waste, one thing is certain: there needs to be a
cooperative and beneficial approach for both providers and consumers. Only with this market-level change can we
expect the amount of food we throw away to decrease.
7. What can we infer from the first paragraph?
A. Most food waste in the UK is avoidable.
B. Food waste in the UK affects the food price.
C. Improved technology helps greatly reduce food waste.
D. Food waste leads to serious pollution in developed countries.第 4 页 共 8 页
8. What does Paragraph 2 imply?
A. People’s shopping habits can be hard to change.
B. The cost of dealing with food waste continues to rise.
C. Providers may fail to benefit from food waste in the short term.
D. It’s the responsibility of consumers and providers to reduce food waste.
9. What does the author think of meal delivery service?
A. Advanced. B. Beneficial. C. Impractical. D. Inconvenient.
10. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. How to reduce food waste.
B. The problems with food production.
C. How to develop good consumption habits.
D. The relationship between consumers and food providers.

When one of your friends is upset, it is sensible to offer help by being there for them, finding the right things
to say, and avoiding common mistakes. Here are some ways that will help comfort your friend.
Comfort your friend according to how upset they seem to be. If they seem to be very troubled, it may take
more effort on your part to help them. If something is bothering them, but they aren’t too upset, be there for them
without overreacting. 11
Find out what’s wrong. 12 This will help you know what to say and what not to say. If you try to talk
to your friend without knowing the situation first, you could end up getting into trouble. If your friend is too upset
to talk, don’t push them for an explanation. Just stay with them until they calm down.
Give your friend a hug. A kind touch will do wonders for your friend, even if you don’t know what they’re
upset about. If your friend doesn’t like hugs, don’t force one. 13 This will also help soothe their emotions.
14 If your friend needs to get their sadness or anger out, let them do so. Pay attention and don’t
interrupt. During pauses, you might add something like, “I’m listening.”
Keep the conversation focused on your friend. Do not talk about yourself and your own problems, 15 .
Derailing (偏离) the conversation with a story about yourself won’t solve your friend’s problems. It will just make
them feel like you aren’t listening to them.
A. because they are not interested
B. Instead, simply pat them on the shoulder.
C. Encourage them to express themselves fully.
D. It’s fine to offer advice if your friend asks for it.第 5 页 共 8 页
E. even if you’ve faced similar issues as your friend
F. Before saying anything, try to figure out what the problem is.
G. In a word, offer your comfort mainly based on how they feel.
