第I卷(选择题)一、阅读理解:本大题共16小题,共38分。
AA Midsummer Night's Dream may be one of Shakespeare's most performed play—but its latest version from the Royal Shakespeare Company will be unlike any seen before.Titled Dream,the 50-minute online production combines live performance with motion-capture (动作捕捉)technology,3 D graphics,and interactive gaming techniques that let audiences remotely guide the leading character Puck through a virtual forest.As live theater put some seriously high-tech fairy (小精灵)factors into practice,Dream promises to bring the rarest version of the play to our screens.In 2016,the theater's production of The Tempest used live motion-capture technology to create a 3 D digital image that was projected above the stage.The difference this time is that everything in the play—the performers and their surroundings—will be shown virtually.Seven actors will perform in a specially-built studio in Portsmouth,southern England,wearing motion-capture suits.They will be surrounded by a 360-degree camera set,made up of 47 cameras with every movement almost immediately presented digitally,which is presented to viewers online.With its much-reduced characters,Dream is not a complete production of A Midsummer Night's Dream;rather,it is a story inspired by it,focusing on Puck and the fairies.Up to 2,000 audience members for each performance can become part of the show and will be invited to guide Puck through the forest.Onscreen,the chosen audience will appear as a cloud of tiny fireflies (萤火虫).By using their mouse or finger on the screen of a smart device,they will be able to move their firefly across the screen,and Puck will be at their beck and call to go through the virtual space.For viewers watching at home,the virtual fairies moving through adigital forest will look more like a video game than the average Royal Shakespeare Company show.But the performances are delivered live and in real time.Every night's performance will be unique."Without the fireflies—the audiences—Puck wouldn't be going anywhere," said E.M.Williams who plays the role. "The audiences are very much the fuel and the energy of the show."1.What makes Dream different from The Tempest?______A. The number of actors and actresses.B. The surroundings around the performers.C. The 3 D digital image it chooses to show.D. The way it presents everything in the play.2.Which aspect of the play does Paragraph 3 focus on?______A. Its leading characters.B. The design of its content.C. Its production process.D. The inspiration for the play.3.What does the underlined part "be at their beck and call" in the last but one paragraph mean?______A. Be willing to guide them.B. Be likely to receive a call.C. Be difficult to control.D. Be ready to follow their order.4.What do E.M.Williams' words in the last paragraph show?______A. The cost of the show.B. The pleasure of the audiences.C. The importance of the audiences.D. The task of the leading character.BIt had always been assumed that the rarity of lightning in ocean storms was due to cleaner air over the vast seas,but keen observations have shown that even highly polluted air is associated with reduced lightning at sea when sea spray aerosols(气溶胶)are abundant.In their paper published in the journal Nature Communications,an international team of researchers describes their multi-year study of atmospheric conditions over the oceans bordering Africa and what it showed about salt in sea spray aerosols and its impact on lightning.The researchers obtained atmospheric data on Africa and the oceans around it for the period 2013 to 2017.The data included numbers of lightning flashes,rainfall,temperatures and cloud representations.They looked for differences in atmospheric conditions in storms that occurred over land versus those that occurred over the sea and found one main difference:the amount of salt in the air.Lightning is produced when upwardly moving air in clouds forms ice crystals(冰晶)—aerosol particles then begin to bump into one another,creating an electrical charge.Lightning happens when the electrical field in one part of the cloud becomes positively charged (usually at the top of the cloud)and another negatively charged (usually at the bottom of the cloud).And clouds form,of course,when vapor evaporates(蒸发)from the surface of the Earth and the water drops bond with aerosols.The researchers found that things are slightly different over the ocean.When water evaporates from the sea,it bears a load of salt.When the salt water bonds with aerosols to form water droplets,they tend to be bigger and heavier than those that form over land due to the salt—and that results in more of the water in the clouds falling as rain before it can rise up and form ice crystals.The result is far fewer lightning discharges.The researchers suggest their findings could be useful in improving the accuracy of both climate models and meteorological reports.It could also possibly lead some to attempt to seed storm clouds with salt to reduce their severity.5.What is the common belief of lightning over oceans?______A. Lightning pollutes the remote sea.B. Polluted air leads to less lightning at sea.C. Cleaner air results in less lightning at sea.D. Cleaner air contributes to more lightning at sea.6.How does the author mainly develop paragraph 3?______A. By presenting facts.B. By listing similarities.C. By giving examples.D. By making comparisons.7.How do water droplets on land differ from those at sea?______A. They drop much faster.B. They contain more water.C. They are bigger and heavier.D. They are smaller and lighter.8.What can be the best title for the text?______A. Salt in Sea Spray Worsens Storms over the Sea.B. Salt in Sea Spray Keeps Lightning Strikes Away.C. Lightning Strikes Are More Common over Oceans.D. Sea Spray Is Found Evaporating Faster over Oceans.CAround seven out of every ten Americans who work in offices do their work in an open environment,defined as at desks without meaningful partitions (隔板),according to an International Facility Management Association survey.Thatis,if they even have a desk——workers may be assigned only a few feet of a communal(共用的)table.The open-plan office space trend,popularized by creative agencies and technology start-ups,went mainstream because of the belief that open-space environments support innovation.More nearness between employees,the thinking went,would create more interaction and teamwork,promote social interaction and urge productivity.But in fact,purely open-plan offices have been shown to have the opposite effects,creating so much distraction(分心)that employees stayed away from each other.A study funded by Harvard Business Sehaol,the results of which were published last year,tracked what happened when a British company moved its employees from traditional office space,with offices with walls,to an open office.Face-to-face interaction became less——employees spent 72 percent less time interacting with their colleagues.Instead of talking more with each other,the employees put on headphones and began communicating by text and email.As digital communication channels surged,productivity declined. Neuroscience also holds some clues as to why the tight quarters in communal work spaces——where workers are only given about half the space they were given a decade ago——are so hard to work in. "The human voice sets off the most powerful emotional response in our auditory(听觉的)experience.Voice above 55 decibels(分贝)—— roughly the sound of a loud phone call——causes measurable stress," according to a Wall Street Journal article,"The Neuroscience-Optimized Office"."Even more troublesome are overheard 'halfversations',in which the listener only knows about one side of a dialogue;our brains automatically imagine the other," wrote authors John Medina and Ryan Mullenix.But the solution,say experts including Newport,isn't to go back to putting everyone into offices with walls.9.What can we learn about the open office trend according to paragraph 1?______A. It allows 10 people at most to work together.B. It is believed to stimulate workers' creativity.C. It is only popular with new technology companies.D. It is aimed at promoting workers' social interaction.10.What does the underlined word"surged"in paragraph 2 probably mean?______A. Suspended timely.B. Became useless.C. Cost less.D. Increased quickly.11.What makes an open office hard to work in?______A. Hearing endless noisy phone calls.B. Showing real emotions publicly.C. Facing communication barriers at work.D. Hearing part of a dialogue between colleagues.12.What will probably be discussed in the following paragraph?______A. What are benefits of the open offices with walls.B. Why the open office makes workers distracted.C. How to deal with the disadvantages of the open office.D. How to draw workers' attention to their colleagues nearby.DDo you know the websites that let you name a star after your beloved one,your kid or your dog for a small fee?Yeah,those are all fake— you could pay me to "name" a star for ﹩50,and I'll take your money and show the name online.I'll even send you a fancy certificate!It seems that you've named a star,but it just doesn't count.Actually,the only organization that owns official naming rights is the International Astronomical Union,or the IAU.It was founded in 1919 and based in Paris,France.It is where astronomers and other professionals have reached the agreements and is the official record-keeping body for all discoveries in space.Recently they do open up an opportunity for the public to name a dozen of planets outside the solar system.These planets will be among the first to be studied with the James Webb Space Telescope.However,they currently only have boring and complicated documents that were used to find them.That's why the IAU is looking for something more interesting. But before you start naming the planets,you should know the rules.First,nothing is rude or annoying.Second,the name should be less than 16 characters long and pronounceable in at least one language with no commercial or business names and nothing is named after a living individual or a pet.The competition,named "Stars Worlds",is open next Thursday,January 20th.It's the third such contest the IAU has held,and the purpose is to get the public more interested in science as well as the organization.The competition also helps to break centuries of European dominance when it comes to naming things in the night sky.So people around the world can share the joy of discovery and make their mark in history.13.How does the author introduce the topic of the passage?______A. By listing figures.B. By taking an example.C. By offering a solution.D. By showing differences.14.What can we know about the IAU from the passage?______A. It was founded by France.B. It studies the space telescope.C. It organizes trips to the space.D. It has the right to name the stars.15.What is the last paragraph mainly about?______A. Why the competition is held.B. How the competition develops.C. What to expect in the competition.D. How to take part in the competition.16.Where is this passage most likely taken from?______A. A novel.B. A textbook.C. A diary.D. A magazine.二、阅读七选五:本大题共5小题,共10分。

Except for the lava (熔岩) erupting behind her, she could be walking in the park. The woman turns to watch the molten rock flow for a moment then walks calmly toward the camera. The footage(镜头) is from Werner Herzog’s book to volcanoes and volcano hunters, Into the Inferno, and the woman pictured is perhaps one of the most important volcanologists of all time, Katia Krafft.Born in France, in 1942, Katia developed an interest in volcanoes at an early age. Later, she met Maurice Krafft. The pair bonded over their shared love of volcanoes before marrying in 1970. The Kraffts wrote about 20 books on volcanoes across the globe.Katia and her husband made great progress in educating the general public in volcanology. Their footage had more than scientific value. For instance, when Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines began to show signs of an eruption in 1991, the Kraffts were able to present Philippine President Cory Aquino with video footage of the effects of the 1985 eruption of Nevado del Ruiz in Colombia, asking him to call for an evacuation of those in the danger zone.In 1969, Katia was awarded the prize of the Vocation Foundation for her work on active volcanic sites.The couple lost their lives, along with more than 40 others during the eruption of Mount Unzen in Japan onJune 3.1991. when they were caught in a flow of rock, gas and ash moving at speeds of over 100 miles per hour, with temperatures of more than 800 degrees Fahrenheit. Katia was 49; Maurice, 45.Katia’s impact on volcanology has reached far beyond her death and has encouraged many young women to study our restless planet. “Katia Krafft is definitely the reason why I’m doing this job,” says Carla Tiraboschi, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Minster, Germany. Carla first saw Katia in a documentary when she was just six or seven years old and has been crazy about volcanoes ever since.4.What can we infer from the book Into the Inferno?A.Its author is Katia Krafft.B.It’s a biography of Katia Krafft.C.It calls on protecting the environment.D.It focuses on volcanoes and their explorers.5.What do we know about the couple?A.They prevented a natural disaster.B.They served as a warning in Japan.C.They helped spread volcano science.D.They covered Mount Pinatubo’s eruption.6.Which can replace the underlined word “evacuation” in paragraph 3?A.Substance.B.Departure.C.Occupation.D.Intervention.7.How did Katia influence Carla Tiraboschi?A.Katia’s death made her restless.B.Katia helped her with her research.C.Katia taught her to make a documentary.D.Katia’s deeds inspired her career choice.CIn ancient Maya civilization, cacao — which chocolate is made from — wasn’t just for the elites (精英). Traces of the sacred plant show up in antiques from all types of neighborhoods and in and around a former Maya city, researchers report in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The finding suggests that, contrary to previous thinking, cacao was consumed at every social level of Maya society.“Now we know that the ceremonies with cacao were likely played out by everyone,” says AnabelFord, an archaeologist at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Cacao was sacred to the ancient Maya, consumed in ceremonies and used as a currency. The cacao tree itself was linked to Hun Hunahpu, a Mayan god. Previous research found cacao in burials (墓地), suggesting that its use was restricted to those at the top.To explore the extent to which cacao was used in broader Maya society, Ford and colleagues examined 54 antiques dating from A.D.600 to 900. The antiques come from jars, mixing bowls, serving plates and vases thought to be drinking vessels. All the pieces were found in residential and ceremonial civic areas of varying size and status from city centers, foothills, upland areas and the valley around the former Maya city of El Pilar, on the present-day border of Guatemala and Belize.To identify cacao, the researchers searched for theophylline, a compound found in trace amounts in the plant. The team found the compound on more than half of the samples, on all types of antiques and distributed throughout social contexts.Future research will move beyond who consumed cacao and explore the role of farmers in managing the critical resource. “A better question is to understand who grew it,” Ford says, because those people probably had greater access to the valuable commodity.8.What do traces of cacao found in Mayan antiques indicate?A.Cacao was once unique to Maya society.B.Cacao was only available to wealthy Mayan people.C.Cacao was accessible to Mayan ordinary people.D.Cacao left more traces in the Mayan city center.9.What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?A.There is no need to do further research on cacao.B.Mayan people liked eating chocolate very much.C.Mayan festivals were the same as those of the modern times.D.There were some limitations in previous research about cacao.10.Why did Ford and his colleagues examine 54 antiques?A.To make copies of Mayan antiques.B.To learn about the Mayan eating habits.C.To find out cacao’s relationship with the religion.D.To know about Mayan social groups of cacao use.11.Which of the following will be the focus of the research about cacao?A.The varieties of cacao.B.Ways cacao was spread out.C.Cacao tree growers.D.The cacao’s value.DElectric vehicles (EVs) now are not practical for long-distance travel due to the need for repeated or lengthystops at charging stations. But what if they could — like planes being refueled in the air from another aircraft — get a charge-on-the-go?The idea sounds impossible, but there are already technologies in use that would help charge specialized vehicles. With rural electric charging stations almost non-existent, Swarup Bhunia and engineers at the University of Florida, Gainesville, are suggesting that “car-to-car charging” and “mobile charging stations” could likely solve this problem faster than the sudden increase of charging points or battery advancements.Along with mobile charging stations idea, Bhunia believes that if more and more people buy electric cars, it would be super-efficient if all cars on road could share charge with one another. What Bhunia and his team are describing is a cloud system that examines all of the EV drivers on the road, where they are going, and how much charge each vehicle has. The cloud then determines, for example, that EV-A has an 89% battery charge, but requires only 4% to reach its destination, while EV-B has a 22% battery charge, yet requires 31% to reach its destination. If the two EVs are going in the same direction, the system would instruct them to carry out the charge transfer. The system would then link the provider with the receiver, and a credit system would ensure that everyone is paying for the charge they use.Inside the given traffic network, every vehicled charge could be examined against each vehicle’s demand, and “mobile charging stations,’’ which would be large automated trucks with onboard charging equipment to fill in the demand gaps.“We imagine a safe and firm telescopic arm (伸缩臂) carrying the charging cable,’’ said Bhunia, describing how to get one charge into another car while running down the freeway, much like to aircraft during mid-air refueling. After two EVs lock speed and are in range for charge sharing, they will extend their charging arms. 12.To realize long-distance travel for EVs faster, Bhunia agrees with .A.stops at charging stations B.mobile charging stations.C.increase of charging points D.battery advancements13.According to the text, the cloud system can .A.determine where EVs are going and how EVs will be chargedB.figure out how much charge a car need to reach its destinationC.work out the problems drivers meet when a charge transfer occursD.guarantee that all the drivers are paying for the charge they get14.What are mobile charging stations?A.Power plants for the charge transfer.B.Charging equipment to fill in the charge gaps.C.Vehicles providing charge for other cars.D.Trucks getting charges from other vehicles.15.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.Can we charge EVs with car-to-car mobile charging?B.Can charging points be a possible way to charge EVs?C.How does a cloud system make charging EVs easier?D.How do we charge EVs with mobile charging stations?第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

ATechnology never stops moving. These inventions will be here sooner than you think, so it’s best to get your wallet ready for them.5G networks will bring the Internet everywhereThe most exciting thing about 5G is that it will be a full-on broadband internet service meaning that instead of,having one service for your mobile devices and one for home internet, you’ll be able to get home 5G and take it with you, as well. That also means less reliance(依赖)on wi-fi.Smart needles will detect cancer in momentsRight now, most cancers aren’t detected until something goes wrong, which is what the smart needle hopes to change. Cancerous tissue and healthy tissue reflect light differently, according to Medical Xpress. The way the smart needle works is by shining light through the tissue in question and then quickly calculating if the tissue is sick or healthy. It takes seconds, and without painful operations.People will be able to feel things in virtual realityVirtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) attracted a lot of attention in the last decade, but things will only get more interesting from here, starting with the ability to touch and feel the things we see through all the various kinds of computer-generated pictures.Plant-based meat is going to grow in new ways2019 was the year of plant-based meats, with Beyond Meat introducing burgers that tasted just about the same as actual beef, but made entirely out of plants. The company is planning to improve the flavor of its meat as time goes on. In the near future, mankind is looking at the possibility of completely animal-free meats of all kinds.1. How does the smart needle work?A. By sending out light.B. By calculating time.C. By performing operations.D. By changing cancerous tissue.2. What are the burgers produced by Beyond Meat made of?A.

Skyline Dear Skyline,As we grow up, our interests change a lot. As a teenager, it may just be that your mom and you don’t share the same interests right now. It’s normal for the relationship between teenagers and their parents to become distant for a short while.If you don’t think your mom understands you or your interests, why not try to get involved in some of hers? If she has a hobby, try to join in with it. For example, if she’s a good cook, ask her to teach you some recipes. If she likes running, go for a run with her.Likewise(同样地), try to get her involved in the things that you do often. Invite her to go to the movies or to coffee together, or ask her to help you study some time.Another great way to get to know your mom better is to ask her about her childhood. My mother has lots of great tales about being a teenager in the 1960s, and hearing her share them and laughing at her funny memories always brings us closer together. Ask your mom about her life as a teenager too I bet she’d love to share her stories There could be many reasons that your mom might seem too busy to do things with you. She could just be tiredfrom a long day of work, or she may have a problem of her own that’s affecting how she acts toward others.Whatever happens, don’t worry. She loves you and always will. And hopefully one day soon, you will both understand each other perfectly.4. What is Skyline’s problem?A. She doesn’t live close to her mom.B. She doesn’t share things with her mom.C. Her mom is too busy to spend time with her.D. Her mom doesn’t understand her.5. What does Dale think of Skyline’s problem?A. Typical.B. Unusual.C. Strange.D. Tough.6. Why does Dale advise Skyline to ask her mom about her childhood?A. To encourage her mom to talk to her.B. To give her mom time to think of the past.C. To help her know more about her mom.D. To get her a chance to laugh at her mom.7. What can we infer from Paragraph 5 of Dale’s letter to Skyline?A. Skyline’s mom has a problem of her own.B. Skyline’s mom probably isn’t a good mother..C Skyline is badly treated by her mom at home.D. Skyline probably doesn’t understand her mom.CFor decades, China had wanted a Nobel Prize in science. Tu Youyou, a researcher who helped to develop a malaria(疟疾)medicine, finally won the country that honor.In fact, Tu is not the only scientist in China who is catching the world’s attention. In 2016, the Nature journal published a list of the top 10 science stars in China. Gao Caixia and Cui Weicheng are two of them.Gao Caixia has been devoted to genetic engineering for her whole career. She is known for using CRISPR-Cas9, the revolutionary gene-editing technique that is sweeping through biology labs around the world – in crops.At first, Gao was unwilling to take up gene editing using CRISPR-Cas9 because her lab at the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology in Beijing had already created mutations(变异)in 82 genes using an older type of technology. But after thinking carefully about it, she decided to give it a try.After a year of hard work, her lab finally succeeded. Gao worked on genetic engineering in wheat, a crop that is famous for being difficult to work with. Now she is considered one of the best in the world at engineering wheat.Cui Weicheng is the developer of China’s record-setting Jiaolong submersibl(e 潜水器). He is now a professor at Westlake University. In 2012, Cui rode inside China’s Jiaolong submersible and reached a depth of more than 7,000 meters in the Pacific.Thanks to Jiaolong and the 57-year-old developer, China is now one of only a few nations that can explore the deep sea. Jiaolong can travel deeper than any other manned research submersible currently in use, which shows China’s increasing ambition and leadership in deep-sea research.8. Why is Tu Youyou mentioned at the beginning of the passage?A. To show one of China’s long-held dreams.B. To stress the importance of the Nobel Prize.C. To praise Tu Youyou for her contributions.D. To introduce more top Chinese scientists.9. Why did Gao Caixia work on wheat?A. Because she failed in her attempt to study other crops..B Because she was expert at wheat engineering.C. Because wheat is hard to be genetically engineered.D. Because wheat is the most widely planted crop in China.10. What is Cui Weicheng’s biggest contribution to China?A. He teaches about sea at a university.B. He developed Jiaolong submersible.C. He is devoted to genetic engineering.D. He reached the bottom of the ocean.11. What is the best title for the passage?A. China’s Science StarsB. China’s Nobel Prize DreamC. Gao Caixia-China’s Crop EngineerD. Cui Weicheng-China’s Deep DiverDPeople do better when more is expected of them. In education circles, this is called the Pygmalion Effect.The Pygmalion effect got its name from the story of Pygmalion, a mythica(虚构的)Greek sculptor.Pygmalion carved a statue of a woman and then fell in love with it. He appealed to Aphrodite, the goddess of love, who brought the statue to life and helped the couple get married. Just as Pygmalion’s fixation on the statue brought it to life, our focus on a student can do the same in schools. Research by Robert Rosenthal and Lenore Jacobson examined the influence of teachers’ expectations on students’ performance. They began by testing the IQ of elementary school students. Teachers were told that the IQ test showed around one-fifth of their students to be unusually intelligent. But unknown to the teachers, the “gifted” students were chosen at random. Actually they had no big statistical advantage over the other kids. As the study period ended, all students had their IQs retested. Both groups showed an improvement. Yet those who were described as intelligent experienced much greater gains in their IQ points. Rosenthal and Jacobson owed this result to the Pygmalion effect. Teachers paid more attention to “gifted” students, offering more support and encouragement than they would otherwise.In general, teachers have the power to influence how the students behave by holding high expectations. If a teacher thinks a student is brilliant, they will treat them as such. The student then gets more opportunities to develop their ability, and their performance improves. This works both ways. When a student expects a teacher to be excellent or successful, they tend to be attentive and supportive. In the process, they improve their performance, too. Students who act interested in lectures create interesting lecturers.12. Where did the Pygmalion effect get its name from?A. A statue of a lady.B. The goddess of love.C. A character in a literary work.D. The story made up by Pygmalion.13. The underlined expression “fixation on” in Paragraph 2 most probably meansA. worship ofB. affection forC. marriage toD. sympathy for14. What is the purpose of Rosenthal and Jacobson’s research?A. To improve the kids’ IQ.B. To pick out gifted students.C. To expand teachers’ influence.D. To examine the Pygmalion effect.15. What can students do to make a teacher excellent?A. Support the teacher by treating them as excellent.B. Attend interesting lectures given by the teacher.C. Work hard to get prepared for opportunities.D. Show great interest in lectures on acting.第二节根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Most drinks stating that they are fruit flavored contain no fruit at all, while most of the rest contain only a small quantity of fruit, according to a study carried by the British Food Commission."Shoppers need to check the labels before buying drinks, though sometimes the actual content can be nonexistent," said Food Commission spokesperson Ian Tokelove. "Food production is highly competitive. 36 It will increase profits, and consumers won't always realize they are being tricked."Flavorings are focused on the flavors of natural food products such as fruits, meats and vegetables, or creating flavor for food products that do not have the desired flavors. Researchers analyzed the contents of 28 strawberryflavored products sold in stores. 37 Of the 11 products that did contain strawberries, five of them contained less than one percent real fruit. In addition, each juice box contained nearly eight teaspoons of sugar._ 38 _ Let's take jam as an example. Some strawberryflavored jam was labeled as containing no artificial color1 1 s, flavors, or sweeteners, but it contained ly no strawberries at all._ 39 _ Consumers have the rights to know clearly about what they have bought. Under current UK law, food packages do not have to distinguish between natural and artificial flavoring. "Describing a product as strawberry flavor and covering the surface of the packet with pictures of strawberries ismisleading. ____40___ Unfortunately, it is also legal and widespread," Tokelove said. "It's time to take measures to protect the consumers' rights."A. They found that about 60 percent of them didn't contain any fruit at all.B. Even products advertised as more natural often contained no fruit.C. The products which contain real fruit are popular with people.D. Actually the product contains just a tiny percentage of strawberry or even no fruit at all.E. It is important and necessary to demand a small amount of flavoring in the products.F. If companies can cut their costs by using flavoring, they are likely to do so.G. The Food Commission suggested all flavors used in a product should be listed on the packaging.参考答案:36.F37.A38.B39.G40.D38. B 根据“Let's take jam as an example. Some strawberry - flavored jam was labeled as containing no arti ficial color1 s, flavors, or sweeteners, but it contained ly no strawberries at all.”可知,以口香糖为例,一些标有不含任何人工颜料、添加剂和糖精的草莓味口香糖竟不含草莓成分。

AMaybe ten-year-old Elizabeth put it best when she said to her father. “But, Dad, you can’t be healthy if you’re dead.”Dad, in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run, had forgotten to wear his safety belt —a mistake 75% of the US people make every day. The big question is why.There have been many myths(虚构故事)about safety belts ever since their first appearance in cars some forty years ago. The following are three of the most common myths.Myth Number One: It’s best to be “thrown clear” of a serious accident. Truth: Sorry, but any accident serious enough to “throw you clear” is also going to be seriou s enough to give you a very bad landing. And chances are that you’ll have traveled through a windshield (挡风玻璃) or door to do it. Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times greater if people are “thrown clear.”Myth Number Two: Safety belts “trap” people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.Truth: Sorry again, but studies show that people knocked unconscious (昏迷) due to not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situations, not to be trapped in them.Myth Number Three: Safety belts aren’t needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour.Truth: when two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other, an unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force equal to diving headfirst into the ground from a height of 10 meters.21.The reason why Father got home in a hurry was that he ________.A. wasn’t feeling very wellB. wanted to take some exerciseC. hated to drive in the darD. didn't want to be caught by the police22.According to the text, to be “thrown clear” of a serious accident is very dangerous because you________.A. may be knocked down by other carsB. may get caught in the car doorC. may get seriously hurt being thrown out of the carD. may find it impossible to get away from the seat23.Some people prefer to drive without wearing a safety belt because they believe ________ .A. cars catch fire easilyB. they will be caught when help comesC. they will be unable to think clearly in an accidentD. the belt prevents them from escaping in an accident24.What is the advice given in the text?A. Never drive faster than 30 miles an hour.B. Try your best to save yourself in a car accident.C. Drive slowly while you're not wearing a safety belt.D. Never forget to wear the safety belt while driving.BWelcome to the Kids' Science Challenge!Do you like science projects and winning some awesome gifts? This is the challenge for you.

They are made from a renewable source, break down easily, burn without giving off thick smoke and can be recycled. However, the producing process behind paper bags uses more energy than that of plastic ones. How can this be true?Studies show that paper bag production requires four times as much energy as plastic bag production. And the amount of water used to make them is twenty times higher. Besides, the influence on forests is very serious. It takes about fourteen milliontrees to produce ten billion paper bags, which happens to be the number of bags used in the United States yearly. In terms of recycling, the idea that paper bags are more environment-friendly than plastic ones can be quickly discarded. Research shows it requires about 98% less energy to recycle plastic than it does paper.Even though paper bags might be more harmful than plastic ones, plastic still seems to be considered by governments as the more harmful of the two. In Ireland, for example, a tax has been introduced to discourage the use of plastic bags. People have to pay 22 cents for every plastic bag, and as a result, their use has dropped quickly.There’s no doubt that it makes more sense to reuse these bags. However, we don’t seem to be doing that at present. That may be because they fall apart quickly. If so, cloth bags are a better choice, but still, their production also has a bad influence on the environment. So what to do? How should we answer the question of “Paper or plastic?” It seems that we first need to ask ourselves one more general question: “What can I do to help the environment?”28.The questions in Paragraph 1 are used to ________.A. express the author’s doubtsB. tell readers how to save moneyC. introduce points for discussionD. show the kindness of the cashierpared with plastic bags, paper bags ________.A. need more water to produceB. require less energy to recycleC. take more time to break downD. have less influence on forests30.The underlined word “discarded” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”.A. sharedB. given upC. discussedD. put forward31.Which question does the author probably hope the cashier will ask?A. Paper or cloth?B. Paper or plastic?C. A small bag or big one?D. A new bag or your own one?DIf you want to convince the boss you deserve a pay rise or promotion, the solution could be simple—eat the same food as they do. Psychologists have discovered managers are much more likely to instantly trust us if we choose the same dishes as them. During experiments, discussions over wages and work conditions were much more successful if both sides chose to snack on the same treats. And shoppers were much more likely to buy a product advertised on TV by someone eating a similar food to them at the time.The reason is thought to be so-called similarity attraction theory —where people tend to like others who have similar tastes or habits to themselves. But this is believed to be one of the first studies highlighting the role of food in this relationship. Researchers at Chicago University in the US conducted a series of experiments to examine food's role in earning trust.In a test, participants were told to watch TV — where someone pretending to be a member of the public praised a certain product. The volunteers were given Kit Kat(巧克力) bars to nibble(轻咬), while the TV people ate either a Kit Kat or grapes as they talked.The results showed viewers were much more likely to express an interest in buying the product if the TV showed the other person eating a Kit Kat too.The researchers added, ―Although similar ity in food consumption is not a sign of whether two people will get along, we find consumers treat this as such. They feel more trusting of those who consume as they do. It means people can immediately begin to feel friendship and develop a bond, leading to smoother transactions from the start.Harley Street psychologist Dr Lucy Atcheson said it was already known that wearingsimilar clothes could instantly create trust. But this was the first report that food had the same effect. She said, This is really interesting. It makes sense as people feel they have common ground and can trust the other person. That means negotiations are more likely to be successful.32.According to the passage, customers are likely to buy a product from a dealer who ________.A.has the same taste as themB.advertises his products on TVC.reduces the price of his productsD.pays attention to the quality of his products33.The experiments conducted by researchers at Chicago University show that ________.A.food plays an important role in earning people's trustB.bosses like employees that have the same taste as themC.people who have similar tastes to their boss's earn moreD.people have less interest in buying products advertised on TV34.What can be inferred from the passage?A.People who eat similar food are more likely to trust each other.B.People will get along with each other if they like to eat similar things.C.The effect of wearing similar clothes hasn't been proved by researchers.D.People are more likely to make friends with those wearing the same clothes as them.35.Which of the following sayings can be an example of the similarity attraction theory?A.Honesty is the best policy.B.All good things come to an end.C.Birds of a feather flock together.D.Where there is a will, there is a way.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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
