A. delivered B.according to C.choose D.surprising E.because


There are many online food shopping sites. This is very 【1】. Things like CDs, books, and DVDs sell well online. But it is quite different to sell food online because people like to see food with their own eyes. It is very important for people to buy fresh fruit and vegetables. Customers like to choose their food 【2】 its colour. They also want to touch and smell it. But some people like to go to the same shop to buy food, because they think the food there has a very good quality. So if the food is always good, they may also feel comfortable buying it online.
Boxes of fruits and vegetables have been 【3】 to homes around Britain for a few years now. Dried or canned (罐装的) foods are almost always the same, but things like apples are not. People may want to 【4】 their own apples so they can take the ones that aren't bruised (碰伤) or the ones that look nice.
22. 选词填空 详细信息


A.such as B.usually C.for example D.need to E.easier
Buying dried and canned food online is 【1】. A person can buy this kind of food on the Internet and then buy fruits and vegetables at a store or a market.
Now people can also buy food through supermarket websites. There people can find most of the things that supermarkets 【2】 sell. Other food websites sell different types of food. Some sell food from one part of the world such as Asia. Others sell food that is hard to find in supermarkets. There are also websites that sell sweet foods 【3】 cakes and candies.
The food is usually delivered by the next day or even on the same day. People still 【4】 be careful, though. They must check to see if the food is fresh when they get it. It is a good idea for people to find out how far away the food is being delivered from. It is also a problem if the company does not use refrigeration (冷藏) when they deliver food that should be kept cold. If traveling long distances in the summer to deliver the goods, this is important.

HELLO,school.Goodbye,smartphones. This new school year, kids in France have to l【1】their mobile phones behind during school hours.
Several months ago. The French government has adopted a nationwide ban on mobile phones for students aged from 3 to 15. The ban applies to phones, tablets and smart watches. Schools are f【2】 to decide if they will carry out the bank for students over 15.There are also some exceptions to the bands, such as for disabled children.
The new law bans phone used by children in school playgrounds, in corridors, or a【3】on school grounds. Students have already been banned from using phones in class in 2010.
French President Emmanuel Macron (埃马纽埃尔·马克龙)backed the law because he thought it would help students f【4】 more on lessons. the ban would also let kids take part in more physical activities and possibly even talk to classmates more often. One study by the London School of Economics found that after mobile phones were banned, students' performance in exams greatly i【5】. At the same time, limiting phone use could also be a low-cost policy to reduce inequality in school.But many school officials argued that the rules would be d【6】to follow. It would Leave t【7】 with another tough task. They were not sure whether students had brought their phones to school or not.
Still, people around the world will be watching the new rule to see if it helps parents and educators keep kids from being addicted to(沉溺于)phones.

When a leafy plant is under attack, it doesn’t sit quietly. Back in 1983,two scientists,Jack Schultz and Ian Baldwin,reported that young maple trees getting bitten by insects send out a particular smell that neighboring plants can get. These chemicals come from the injured parts of the plant and seem to be an alarm.What the plants pump through the air is a mixture of chemicals which are called VOCs for short.
Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out VOCs when being attacked .It’s a plant’s way of crying out.But is anyone listening?Exactly.Because we can watch the neighbours react.
Some plants release smelly chemicals to keep insects away.But others do double duty .They pump out perfumes designed to attract different insects who are natural enemies to the attackers.Once they arrive,the tables are turned .The attacker who was lunching now becomes lunch.
In study after study,it appears that these chemical conversations help the neighbors .The damage is usually more serious on the first plant,but the neighbors ,relatively speaking ,stay safer because they heard the alarm and knew what to do.
Does this mean that plants talk to each other? Scientists don’t know. Maybe the first plant just made a cry of pain or was sending a message to its own branches, and so, in effect, was talking to itself. Perhaps the neighbors just happened to “overhear” the cry. So information was exchanged, but it wasn’t a true communication.
Charles Darwin, over 150 years ago, imagined a world far busier, noisier and more intimate(亲密的) than the world we can see and hear. Our senses are weak. The world is .
【1】Does a leafy plant sit quietly when it is under attack?
【2】What does a plant do when it is under attack?
【3】How can scientists know that there is someone listening to the crying?
【4】What does the author mean by “the tables are turned” in paragraphs 3?
【5】From the scientists' studies, can plants protect themselves against insects or really talk to each other?
【6】What can be filled in the blank at end of the passage?
