Shell even buy and wrap a present for your actual mother. Nina and her husband moved to Bushwick, Brooklyn, from Connecticut
20、two years ago, after 30 years of raising their own two sons. And she realized early on that young adults back home were different; in many ways. The young men in Connecticut have other goals-its all about jobs, houses, permanent relationships, she said. They go into almost a young middle age. But he
21、re, its a more dramatically artistic lifestyle.

As I started to live in the neighborhood, do yoga and frequent coffee shops, Ive noticed that a

27、a little child, who hates sitting in a car seat, then the FreedomRide is the answer to your problem. Would you want to be stuck in an unchangeable position every time youre in the car? No. You wouldnt. When an adult sits in a car for any length of time, we stretch, we change the position, and we mov
28、e our legs again and again. We do this without thinking. But kids in a traditional car seat cant do this. They are stuck in one position, and they cant move. We move because the circulation of blood needs to be recovered in our legs as we sit in the same position for long. In a traditional car seat,
29、 children cant move to reduce the pain, so it puts them in anger. The FreedomRide lets them have a little freedom, and still be safe. The 5-point harness(背 带)gives them additional safety over a traditional child car seat. I am the webmaster for , and when JoeySafe asked us to redo their website, I w
30、as attracted by this system. That is because I have two small children, both girls aged 3 and 4 and - 6 - we obviously use car seats. I lived in Southern California, and every couple of months, my wife, the girls and I, go to see Grandma who lives in Nevada. Its a 5-hour drive, so the FreedomRide wo
31、rks well. With the FreedomRide, we dont need child car seats any more and there is more room in the car. Our trips are so much better now. The FreedomRide really does make it easier to go on trips. The only thing you need when you use the JoeySafe instead of your old child car seat is a pillow. Besi
32、des, my kids want to take a pillow anyway! As a dad, I feel safe driving with the kids in the FreedomRide. I am a very safety-oriented person. 28. From the text we can infer the FreedomRide is a . A. car seat B. car for children C. safety belt D. game on 29. The Freedom Ride is likely to be designed
33、 for . A. aa person hating sitting in the car for long B. an adult often driving a traditional car C. a child requiring some freedom in the car D. a driver needing comfortable seats 30. The purpose of the last two paragraphs may be to . A. support the topic of the child car safety B. describe the ad
34、vantages of the FreedomRide C. introduce the detail of the, authors work and web D. explain how the FreedomRide was put onto the market 31.

35、ation about D. the advantages of the product D Food blogs, celebrities, and nutritionists all advocate the benefits of eating organic(有机 的)fruits and vegetables. But a new study published in Science Advances paints a more complex picture. While perhaps organic produce is slightly healthier to eat an
36、d, in some ways, more sustainable to grow, there are also downsides. Organic fruits and vegetables typically cost more than conventional ones. To get a certificate as organic, farmers must meet specific criteria, including growing produce without the use of genetic engineering and chemical inputs. W
37、ithout these methods, the growing process typically requires more labor, time, and money, a cost that is passed down to consumers. - 7 - Its true that in many ways, organic farming is more sustainable than conventional farming. But when it comes to environmental concerns such as greenhouse gas outpu
38、t and water loss, the comparison gets complex. Organic farms produce less greenhouse gas output per acre. However, because they are banned from using genetic engineering, pesticides(杀虫剂), and other methods that increase efficiency, organic farms also produce an estimated 19% to 25% less yield than c
39、onventional farms. While there isnt a whole lot research on the topic, the few studies that do exist suggest green gas output and water loss might actually be higher on organic farms, on a per unit basis, says study author Verena Seurfert. In addition, while organic produce is likely more nutritious
40、 than conventional fruits and vegetables, theres not a lot of evidence to support the claim that these often slight differences influence consumer health. The same is true for pesticide remainder(残留). In developed countries, where pesticide use is tightly regulated, theres no scientific consensus on
41、 how these often slight differences influence human health. Still, Seurfert stresses that if you can afford to eat organic, you should do so. Organic farms provide safer working environments for workers, plus they support great biodiversity. The real takeaway from her study is not that organic is ba
42、d but that the practice needs more studies to increase yield without lowering sustainability. But if you cant afford to buy organic produce, dont stress too much, particularly from a nutritional perspective. 32. What does the underlined word downsides in Paragraph 1 most probably mean? A. Dangers. B
43、. Drawbacks. C. Benefits. D. Differences. 33. Which key factor makes it hard to compare organic farming and conventional farming when it comes to environmental concerns? A. The yield. B. The price. C. The water loss. D. The labor. 34. Which of the following will the study author most probably agree
44、with? A. Farmers working environment should be improved. B. Organic produce should be made more efficiently. C. It isnt wise for consumers to buy organic produce. D. Pesticide remainder does great harm to peoples health. 35. In Seurferts opinion, why should we support organic produce? - 8 - A. Its o
45、f greater benefit to health. B. Its more nutritious. C. It helps keep the variety of plants. D. Its safer for consumers. 第二节(共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 E Do People Need Small Talk to Be Happy?

46、rtant part of happiness, but just how much conversation we require is under examination. In one study, researchers found that small talk made up only 10% of the conversation related to happiness. 36 Scientists believe that small talk can promote bonding. Late last year, Princeton researchers reporte
