单项选择题
1、阅读下文，回答题
Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.
Food waste has been a chronic problem for restaurants and grocery stores--with millions of tons lost along the way as crops are hauled hundreds of miles，stored for weeks in refrigerators and prepared on busy restaurant assembly lines. But the historically high price of products is making it an even bigger dragon the bottom line.
Restaurants，colleges，hospitals and other institutions are compensating for the rising costs of waste in novel ways. Some are tracking their trash with software systems，making food in smaller packages or trying to compost（将……制成堆肥）and cut down on trash-hauling costs.
“We have all come to work with this big elephant in the middle of the kitchen，and the elephant is this It’s okay to waste’ belief system，”said Andrew Shackman, president of Lean Path，a company that helps restaurants cut back food waste.
The interest level in cutting food waste “has just skyrocketed in the last six to nine months.” he said.
Roughly 30 percent of food in the United States goes to waste，costing some$48 billion annually，according to a Stockholm International Water Institute study. A University of Arizona study estimated that 40 to 50 percent of food in the United States is wasted. Wholesale food costs have risen more than 8percent this year, the biggest jump in decades，according the National Restaurant Association.
Freshman students at Virginia Tech were surprised this year when they entered two of the campus’s biggest dining halls to find there were no trays.
“You have to go back and get your dishware and your drink，but it’s not that different，”said Caitlin Mewborn, a freshman “It’s not a big trouble. You take less food. and you don’t eat more than you should.”
Getting rid of trays has cut food waste by 38 percent at the dining halls，said Denny Cochrane，manager of Virginia Tech’s sustainability program. Before the program began，students often grabbed whatever looked good at the buffet（自助餐），only to find at the table that their eyes were bigger than their stomachs，he said.

简答题
5、中国戏曲是中国戏剧和音乐剧的结合。其起源可追溯到3世纪。中国戏曲有很多地方剧分支。京剧是其中有名的一个。京剧出现于18世纪末，并于19世纪中期得到充分发展和认可。京剧在清朝宫廷（the Qing Dynasty court）特别受欢迎，并已被视为中国的文化珍品之一。中国戏曲会用到面具。面具的每种颜色代表不同的含义，用来表现人物角色，说明他们的情感状态和大致性格。
6、 剪纸(paper cutting)是中国为流行的传统民间艺术形式之一。中国剪纸有一千五百多年的历史，在明朝和清朝时期(the Ming and OingDynasties)特别流行。人们常用剪纸美化居家环境。特别是在春节和婚庆期间，剪纸被用来装饰门窗和房间，以增加喜庆的气氛。剪纸常用的颜色是红色，象征健康和兴旺。中国剪纸在世界各地很受欢迎，经常被用作馈赠外国友人的礼物。
7、去年冬季以来，中国不少城市雾霾天气频频出现。特别是作为首都的北京，严重的雾霾天气更是引起了人们的关注。雾霾天气严重地影响了人们的出行和身体健康。在北京城市道路上，很多车辆因为能见度过低，只能在路上堵着。人们行走在路上都要戴着口罩。很多媒体报道称口罩已经卖脱销。大气污染现象已经成为困扰北京的难题，人们急需要解决这些问题，从而为该地区的人们带来更好的生活保障。
8、每年农历的正月十五日，春节刚过，迎来的就是中国的传统节日——元宵节(Lantern Festi vaI)。按中国民间的传统，在这天皓月高悬的夜晚，人们要点起彩灯万盏，以示庆贺。民间过元宵节还有吃元宵的习俗。元宵由糯米制成，或实心，或带馅。元宵也被称作汤圆(G| utinous Rice Ba||s，or Gatheri ng Rice Ba||s)，象征全家人团团圆圆，和睦幸福，人们也以此怀念离别的亲人，寄托了对未来生活的美好愿望。
9、 谈起我国的吉祥艺术。不得不提鼻烟壶(Snuff bottIe)。尽管它的历史不长，却浓缩了历史悠久的中国传统文化；尽管鼻烟是舶来品，但鼻烟壶经过中国能工巧匠的精心打造，很快便成为一个独立的、崭新的工艺术美术品种；尽管它很袖珍，但集多种工艺之大成，被广大收藏爱好者视为珍贵文玩。鼻烟壶所蕴含的吉祥文化，不仅在装饰中表现得淋漓尽致，而且还表现在材质、造型等方面。
