31、hese groups probably wont physically give your old phones to people in need. Instead, theyll often sell your phone to recyclers and keep the money which goes towards daily management.

BThe idea of exploring the past through the human history of a single crop has been around for a while. What is striking about James Walvins new book is that, while
38、focusing only on sugar, it does not restrict itself to the past. Rather, the book takes the story of perhaps the most popular crop of all time and brings it disturbingly into the present day.Walvin begins his research where most of us begin our relationship with the stuff: the sweet shops of childho
39、od memory. If sugar is a guilty pleasure then it is one with which almost every one of us is drunk on a daily basis. The unstoppable march of sugar raises the question: why? After all, sugar cane(甘 蔗 )is difficult to grow and the processes of refinement and clarification required to produce eatable
40、sugar are time-consuming and expensive. Yet, as Walvin explains, sugar has one enormous temptation: it satisfies our seemingly born desire for sweet tastes, but the satisfaction that sugar provides comes at a terrible cost, both to those who produce it and those who consume it. Sugar changed world h
41、istory more profoundly than any other crop. It fuelled the Atlantic slave trade and the African wars. Were familiar with the story of how millions of enslaved Africans were transported to the Caribbean, the US and Brazil, but the growing global demand for sugar also led to the migrations of other gr
42、oups. The profitability of sugar production also inspired American producers to ship thousands of poor Indians from their homeland to the Caribbean, South America and Fiji as well as Japanese peasants to plantations in Hawaii. The story of sugar, then, is not just one of changing diets and expanding
43、 waistlines, but also one of mass migrationsboth forced and voluntary, both familiar and unfamiliar.Sugars story in the 20th and 21st centuries can only be told with reference to the development of American agricultural businesses and the giant food corporations, most notably the Coca-Cola Company.
44、The modern anti-sugar movement is demanding better labelling and the reduction of sugar in foods and drinks targeted at children.The sugar industry stands today where the tobacco corporations stood in the 1960s, accused of knowingly contributing to a global health crisis and obesity. This is just th
45、e latest moral crisis faced by the food giants of the sweet stuff.58. What can we learn from Paragraph 1? A. Walvins book focuses only on sugar in the past.B. History of sugar is investigated for its destructive effects. C. Walvins book coversstories from the past to the present day.D. A single crop
46、 can reflect the whole course of human history.59. By mentioning migrations of differentgroups, the author aims to _. A. illustrate the difficulty of sugar cane plantationB. criticize the greed of American sugar producersC. confirm the huge impact of sugar on human historyD. explain the reasons for
47、slave trade and African wars60. What attitude does the author hold towards sugar according to the passage?A. Critical. B. Ambiguous. C. Casual. D. Favorable.CThe most eye-catching part of the governments recent air-quality strategy is to ban sales of new petrol and diesel cars by 2040. The reason be
48、hind the governments strategy is poor air quality, which is thought to be linked to about 40,000 premature deaths a year. Client Earth, the campaign group leading the call for reform, has described the ban as “not enough”. It emphasises that clean air zones and sustainable transport infrastructures
49、both work, and can be implemented more quickly. Even so, some argue that the target is too soon. The motor industry, however, does not argue that the cars wont be ready in time. This is unsurprising, given that Tesla already has an all-electric model, most manufacturers have at least one hybrid (混 动 汽车 )on sale.The voices of disagreement offer three main arguments: electric vehicles dont reduce greenhouse gas emissions
