21、Serving Up Hope

Food allergies have been on the rise. In the US, it is now estimated that over 10 percent of the adult population has an allergy to peanuts, shellfish, dairy or another type of food. In the UK, the past three decades have seen hospital admissions for food allergies rise fivefold. Thankfully, we are building up the armory needed to reverse this trend so that, one day, such potentially deadly reactions become a thing of the past.

The most common types of food allergies are triggered by antibodies that we make called immunoglobulin (免疫球蛋白) E or IgE. These antibodies were discovered in the mid-1960s and kick-started an era of allergy research that is still going strong today. The early findings have spawned thousands of studies that paint an intricate (复杂的) picture of how allergies work, suggesting ways in which we can prevent and treat them.

When someone has a food allergy, IgE is involved in triggering a response when the immune system comes into contact with that food. Essentially, the body sees that part of your meal as an enemy, releasing histamine (组织胺) and other inflammatory chemicals in an attempt to deal with it. This causes symptoms ranging from itchiness and sneezes to wheezing (喘气) and anaphylactic shock (过敏性休克). The result can be anything from a mild inconvenience to death.

The old saying "prevention is better than the cure" holds true for food allergies. My colleagues and I use the so-called six Ds as a guide to preventative measures during childhood: diet, dirt, dogs, dry skin, detergents (清洁剂) and vitamin D. Studies have found that people have a lower risk of developing an allergy when, as youngsters, they eat a diverse diet and do so often, have healthy vitamin D levels, live in a home with a dog, avoid dry skin and are exposed to dirt, allowing them to develop a good microbiome (微生物组). The use of harsh detergents has also been associated with an increase in IgE.

Clearly, for many people that have food allergies, such early life prevention is no longer an option. However, other approaches are taking shape.

Most of the interventions we currently use target the immune system in an effort to retrain its response to allergens. One technique, known as allergen immunotherapy (免疫疗法), involves slowly building up exposure to a problem food. By starting in very small doses, the body appears to be able to be retrained to no longer see it as a threat. However, immunotherapy needs regular exposure to allergens, which can cause side effects.

Allergy vaccines are another option. These work by reshaping the body's immune response to a particular food so it doesn't end in illness.

As we gain evidence and experience with each of these approaches, we are moving closer to being able to treat all food allergies.

【1】From the first two paragraphs, we can tell that __________.

A．one in ten people in UK is allergic to peanuts, shellfish, dairy or another type of food

B．immunoglobulin E only takes effect when we have food allergies

C．the research of allergies hasn't been conducted until recent years

D．more people in the UK now suffer from food allergies than it was 30 years ago

【2】The author mentioned six Ds to __________.

A．arouse readers' curiosity about the food allergies

B．assure readers of his unique method in the fight against food allergies

C．discuss the effectiveness of this potential method for curing food allergies

D．support the belief that the prevention of an allergy is more important than the cure

【3】We can learn from the passage that _________.

A．people are likely to get rid of food allergies through gradual adaptation to the specific problem food

B．some early prevention methods like the six Ds are no longer helpful in the curing of food allergies

C．immunotherapy brings more harm than good as it needs regular exposure to the specific problem food

D．since our body's immune response can be reshaped, a vaccine can be a very safe method for the curing of food allergies

【4】The author's attitude towards the future of the fight against the food allergies is _________.

A．objective

B．optimistic

C．skeptical

D．critical

22、Do you like chocolate? Maybe most people do. A box of it can be a great gift. Buy one for a friend and give it as a surprise. See how happy that person gets.

23、Since people first launched  rockets  into space in the 1950s, we have been leaving behind all sorts of  things. Some of them,  like the camera, were lost by astronauts while they did work outside their spacecraft. But much of the space junk is made up of little pieces of things that were once bigger objects, until they struck each other and broke apart.

Some things we send into space fall back toward Earth and burn up in the atmosphere. But larger pieces sometimes survive the extreme heat and hit the ground or the ocean at great speeds. So there is always concern that something may fall from the sky and do some harm.

But space junk falling on roofs is not the biggest worry. Scientists are concerned about the “Kessler” problem. Imagine what happens when an empty rocket strikes another while orbiting the earth.  Two  big things become many smaller things.  They  then hit other things. The pieces get smaller and smaller until they form a cloud of junk that blocks the path of future space vehicles.

Marco Castronuovo, an Italian Space Agency researcher, says launching a satellite into space that would get very close to some of the larger pieces of space junk. The satellite would connect a small rocket to the useless object. When the rocket explodes, it pushes the junk into a lower and slower orbit, nearer the Earth. After a time,  the junk burns up in the atmosphere. Mr.Castronuovo has proposed using a number of small satellites with robotic arms. One arm would catch the space junk, and another arm would connect the rocket. He imagines that each satellite could jump from one large piece of junk to another. He thinks this method could destroy about ten large objects each year.

Scientists have been concerned about space junk for many years. Right now, the costs of the clean­up have been too great. Mr.Castronuovo says his system could be put in place for a much more reasonable amount of money. So what can be done to clean up the space around our planet?

【1】We can learn from the text that much of the space junk ________.

A. was left by the astronauts on purpose

B. is mainly made up of broken spaceship

C. is usually made of small pieces of things

D. burns up before it reaches the atmosphere

【2】Now scientists are most worried that space junk will ________.

A. harm the future space vehicles

B. do some harm to the atmosphere

C. fall on people's house roofs

D. destroy the habitat of wildlife

【3】It implies in the last but one paragraph that ________.

A. clearing up the space will actually cost little

B. small rockets also do harm to the atmosphere

C. only robots can clear up the space completely

D. it is still difficult for us to clear up the space

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A. Space junk threatens earth's orbital environment.

B. Scientists use different methods to clear up space junk.

C. Spacecrafts will meet with a lot of space junk in the future.

D. Marco comes up with many methods to deal with space junk.

24、Shoppers are being warned by consumer advocates of a new wave of “shrinkflation (缩水式通胀)”— where companies shrink the net weight of a prepackaged product while still charging the same price, or sometimes more. 【1】

The Queensland Consumers’ Association (QCA) has sounded the alarm on the issue, saying it’s already received reports of consumers getting less value for money at the checkout.

【2】 This practice has been a common issue in Australia too,with eagle-eyed members of CHOICE’s Community forum sharing examples of shrinkage since 2016, calling out everything from pet food to breakfast cereal(谷类食物) .

Pet food label Purina One said it had been forced to shrink the sizes of its products to keep them affordable for shoppers. 【3】 In fact, we’ve discovered several examples in the supermarket cereal shelf. One is Kellogg’s Crunchy Nut, which sold for $6 for 670g in 2019, but now sells for $9 for 640g in 2022.

The QCA says the easiest way to know if companies are sizing down your favourite products is to check the weight and quantity displayed on the packaging. 【4】 You can also check the unit price. The unit price breaks down the cost of a product into standard units of measurement, showing how much an item costs per 100g. If a product has undergone changes in both price and quantity, unit pricing will tell you whether you’re still getting the same value for money as before. 【5】

A．However, it’s not just pet products.

B．Once a product gets smaller, it often stays that way.

C．The issue has already been making headlines in the US.

D．But in some cases, companies’ profits are also increasing sharply.

E．By these numbers, you can quickly spot if your supermarket products shrink.

F．If you’re not, it can help you find a different pack size that is worth the money.

G．Companies have admitted reducing the size of their goods due to increasing costs.
