AHistory Fair CompetitionUnderstanding history is vital to understanding ourselves as a people and as a nation. History is much more than the study of dusty old objects and events long past.

Now 22, the musician will be travelling to the United States with the Australian Chamber Orchestra for the first time.Mr. Murray comes from an Aboriginal (土著的) community and said his love of the didgeridoo had grown out of his culture. He was taught by his father Lazarus Murrayfrom a young age, but said he was also inspired by his grandfather Peter Apaak Jupurrula Miller. ''My father learnt from David Blanasi. Then he taught me what he learnt from David,'' he said.As the youngest member of a Tiwi Islander band called B2M (Bathurst to Melville) in the Northern Territory, Mr. Murray played the didgeridoo for the opening act of the Tina Arena Darwin concert in 2014. Now his didgeridoo skills have caught the attention of the Australian Chamber Orchestra, where he was invited to perform in the show The Reef Revisited, which will be touring the US next week.''It's exciting for me to be travelling over to America, '' he said. Mr. Murray said there were challenges for young Aboriginal artists to break into the industry but said it is all about having the right attitude.Richard Tognetti, artistic director of the Australian Chamber Orchestra, said the team was excited to have Mr. Murray join the 25 - person orchestra. ''He's bringing a really traditional approach. We respect the sound that he brings into the orchestra. We're used to the sound of a didgeridoo but playing it in LA, New York and Richmond Virginia will be interesting for the audience,'' he said.Another member of the orchestra, Aboriginal musician Steve Pigram, said he was proud of Mr. Murray's achievement at such a young age. ''He's coming through that thing of performing in a reggae (popular music in the West Indies) rock band, same as what I did. But he's got to this kind of level a little quicker. Well it's taken me 40 years, '' he said.24.How did Murray learn to play the didgeridoo?A.He taught himself.B.He learned from his grandfather.C.He drew inspiration from David.D.He followed his father' s instructions.25.What do we know about B2M?A.It's a popular local band.B.Its members are all very young.C.Its tour around the US will come soon.D.It's a band in the Australian Chamber Orchestra.26.What did Richard Tognetti think of Murray?A.He needed to get along with the orchestra members.B.He would play a valuable part in the orchestra.C.He would face lots of challenges in the US.D.He needed to learn traditional approaches.27.What do Steve Pigram and Murray have in common?A.They became famous at a young age.B.They have played in a rock band.C.They came from the same city.D.They are of the same age.CAccording to some researchers, you should not praise children for everything that they do. It does not help them build self-confidence.Most parents and teachers agree that praise can help increase children's self-confidence-the more, the better. However, according to some researchers, only proper praise is good for children. If adults praise everything children do, it makes children look for praise all the time, not trying to do their best. "Teachers should not say things like 'good job 'or 'nice work' whenever a child does anything. They should encourage them to continue to improve,” some researchers advise.Another idea is that children with high self-confidence are happier, and do better at school. About this, Marshall Duke, a researcher in children, says, "High self-confidence brought in by too much praise does not make children happier, get more, or become able to do more. Finding a child's advantages and developing them can help build confidence more than too much praise can." Praise also loses its effect if it is given equally to all students."It's important to tell children the truth about what they've done. Honest feedback（反馈）is far better than empty praise," Duke adds. "People have got into the habit of not telling children when they’re wrong. That makes it hard for them to deal with difficulties when they grow up. That's just how the world is." 28.According to some researchers, if parents praise their children too much, their children will .A.always look for praiseB.increase self-confidenceC.become strongD.do better in their studies29.In order to help children build self-confidence, some researchers advise parentsto .A.make them live more happilyB.let them do more difficult workC.help them do better in schoolD.encourage them to improve30.Which of the following is TRUE, according to the passage?A.Praise makes children become successful.B.Children don't know what they’re really good at.C.The same praise for all children has no meaning.D.Duke thinks praise is more important than finding children's strengths.31.What is the last paragraph about?A.It's important to have the habit of praising children.B.Children should know their mistakes as soon as possible.C.We should praise children honestly and tell them their mistakes.D.What children with high self-confidence are like.DUnderstand your directional future, and plan ahead, but most of all plan a life which is full of excitement and a life which you’ll enjoy living.As the manager of the World Youth Organization, I must say, “It is not quite easy to get this position.” My parents have always been top supporters for my educational progress rather than my true passion, which of course is the World Youth Organization. There have been many arguments when it comes to the controversial topics. Time after time I have to protect my belief and hope it will come true one day.Proving one wrong, especially your parents, is a tough ride. But when you love something, you constantly put up a fight. You stand for what you believe in, which is one of the most important aspects of life. Any parent or carer would require too much, “You must go to university”, “You will not get anywhere without that degree.” All of those sentences make the perfect sense, when you’re dreaming of becoming a nurse, doctor, teacher or scientist, or a career path which requires that important degree. But I believe what many parents see is that when one has the degree, he/she is automatically set on the right path of life.However, when the truth is bitter, it doesn’t always go smoothly. If I am not full of passion, will I lead a happy life? Possibly. Will I be true to myself ? No. However, if you are enthusiastic about the subject you study, you are willing to do everything to make it a reality.A person can take many paths in life, and you just need to find the best one for yourself. I strongly agree with considering something to fall back on just in case plan A doesn’t go well. Stick with your passion as plan A, unless staying in college can ensure you are going to be okay in the future.Follow your passion, be prepared to work hard, be devoted and above all, don’t let anyone limit your dreams.32.What attitude do the writer’s parents hold towards his choice?A.Supportive.B.Negative.C.Positive.D.Interested.33.Which of the following can cause a fight between you and your parents in the writer’s view?A.You go to university.B.You listen to your parents.C.You hold on to your belief.D.You study hard for the degree.34.What is the most important thing in exciting life, according to the last paragraph?A.Love.B.Hard work.C.Devotion.D.Independence.35.What is the best title for the passage?A.Always Stick with Your Passion as Plan AB.A Generation Gap Between Children and ParentsC.The Importance of Gaining a DegreeD.Attempt to Make a Dream a Reality 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。

（新课标卷）2020年准高三英语暑假预热训练卷08第一部分听力（共两节，满分30分）（略）第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

AThe 1972 Hawaii episodes opened the fourth season of The Brady Bunch, and they have become a beloved part of pop culture. Here are the top places where the Hawaii episodes of The Brady Bunch were filmed.Sheraton WaikikiLocation: 2255 Kalakaua Avenue, Honolulu, Hawaii 96815The entrance to the Sheraton Waikiki has not changed all that much. All of its original charm remains. You can even book an ocean-view room like the Brady family would have enjoyed. Be sure to also check out the breathtaking infinity pool. Halona Blowhole LookoutLocation: 8483 Highway 72, Honolulu, Hawaii 96825During their tour of Hawaii, the Bradys looked in the wonder at the still-active Halona Blowhole. It's one of Hawaii's many natural wonders. The rock formation and blowhole shoots ocean water spray high into the air when the waves roll in.Although there are no active volcanoes on Oahu now, their effects on the island linger. The best time to come here is when winds are strong and the tide is high. View Rabbit Island from Makapu'u Beach ParkLocation:41-095 Kalanianaole Highway, Makapu'u Point, Hawaii 96795The Brady girls enjoyed the view of Rabbit Island. Although it's referred to by its nickname in the episodes, the real name of Rabbit Island is Manana Island. It got its nickname because many rabbits used to inhabit the area. It's now an uninhabited islet on the eastern end of Oahu.Hula dancing on the Ocean Lawn of the Royal HawaiianLocation: 2259 Kalakaua Avenue, Honolulu, Hawaii 96815It's believed that the Brady ladies enjoyed their hula lesson on the Ocean Lawn of the Royal Hawaiian, a luxury collection resort. The ocean Lawn is a great place for a selfie because you can see the ocean, Diamond Head and other beautiful sights in the background.The Royal Hawaiian does offer hula lessons to guests, but they aren't held on the Ocean Lawn. If you and your family decide to try hula dancing, try not to get your hula skirts mixed up like Alice and Cindy did!21.Where should you go to enjoy the ocean waves?A.Sheraton Waikiki.B.Halona Blowhole Lookout.C.Rabbit Island.D.Ocean Lawn.22.What is special about the Rabbit Island?A.It has active volcanoes.B.It has incredible sunrise.C.It got the name because of rabbits.D.It has remained the same ever since.23.What can you do on the Ocean Lawn?A.To take charming pictures for yourself.B.To learn hula lessons from the locals.C.To climb seaside rocks and go fishing.D.To exchange skirts with others for fun.BIt is the year 3000. I come to a place where I can’t see any water, plants or animals but black clouds in the sky and sand everywhere. It’s very dry so I drink some water that I carry with me. A nat ive sees what I do and asks “What is it?”I pour some water and tell him it’s called water. “Oh, I’m so lucky that I can see water!” the man shouts in an excited voice. “You have never seen water? But how can you live without water?” I ask.“Harry, get up,it is 7 o’clock, or you will be late!” a voice comes to my ears. “Oh! What a strange dream I dreamed just now!”In class, I always think of that dream. And I also think of the fresh air, cleanwater, blue sky, green plants and animals in our world nowadays. How beautiful our life is!But in order to make more money, people have built more and more factories. These factories send out waste smoke and water with chemicals which are harmful to the environment. The pollution is becoming worse and worse, and as a result, some animals and plants die out. With the development of agriculture, farmers spray aerosol (喷雾) and fertilizer, which also pollute the water and air. In the street the cars and buses are sending out heavy smoke which pollutes the air badly. Even tourism is harmful to the environment. When some tourists travel somewhere, they throw the plastic bags and rubbish onto the ground.These behaviors are polluting the environment and the environment will become the greatest problem of the world. We should n’t pollute the environment any more. Otherwise more and more animals and plants will disappear. And maybe my dream will come true in the future.24.In the place I come to, I can’t see .A.plantsB.manC.cloudsD.sand.25.From the passage we can infer Harry is the name of .A.a dogB.one of the author’s friendsC.the author’s sisterD.the author26.The author the environment of the future.A.is satisfied withB.is worried aboutC.is angry aboutD.has an optimistic attitudes towards27.From the passage, we can conclude _______ is the cause of the polluted environment.A.cars and busesB.fertilizerC.tourismD.manCOne-year-old Tallulah turned purple and stopped moving after the sweet became stuck in her throat. Her mum Leigh-Anne said the drama began during a visit to hergrandma’s house when her grandparents gave her older kids some sweets.“Then at about 4:45 pm, Tallulah started to choke—we all went into a panic.”“It seemed like it went on for ages. Not one of us knew what to do.”“I rang an ambulance while my grandma and granddad tried to get the sweet to come up.”“Tallulah was panicking at first but then she started to go purple—she almost had no oxygen left in her.”With her daughter limp (无力的) and time running out, Leigh—Anne knew she couldn’t afford to wait for the ambulance to arrive.“The only thing I could think was to go out into the street.” She said.“I rushed out and screamed for someone to help while my grandma rushed out crying with Tallulah.”At exactly the moment, Caitlin, who is studying public services at Redcar College, was passing by Queen Street. She said, “I was waiting to go to work when I heard someone screaming for help, so I ran straight over.”The 17-year-old girl added, “Something just clicked and I went into auto mode. The little girl was completely limp, so I checked her airways and tilted (使倾斜) her over and started hitting her back. I turned her round and tapped on her chest, then after what felt like forever she coughed up the sweet and spat it out.As soon as she started crying I felt a huge relief. I was just so pleased I was able to help.”Caitlin was taught her lifesaving skills when she joined the Army Cadets four years ago.28.When did Tallulah get choked?A.While eating sweets.B.While enjoying a drama.C.While having a meal.D.While taking some medicine.29.Why did the family go out into the street?A.To buy some needed tools.B.To search for timely help.C.To get a breath of fresh air.D.To wait for the ambulance to arrive.30.Which of the following can best describe Caitlin?A.Brave and selfless.B.Kind and energetic.C.Determined and generous.D.Quick-thinking and helpful.31.What may be the best title for the text?A.First aid skill sounds important.B.Screaming for help makes sense.C.Eating sweets endangers baby girl.D.Heroic teenager saves baby girl’s life.DAlgorithms (算法) affect nearly every part of a person's experience on the Internet. Search engines are most people' s entry to the Internet.If a person wants to find information about something, they usually start with a search bar.As soon as they start typing or choosing links,the algorithm starts gathering data about every choice users make and uses that data to try to find the websites or information that most directly relate to what the user is looking for.The problem with algorithm is that they can limit the kinds of information people see,says MacMillan,a reading researcher with Project Information Literacy (能力). He argues this can be harmful to people's critical thinking and lead them to believe that only one point of view is correct.Companies also pay to post advertisements for products that could relate to users' search data. For example,if you search for places to take a vacation,you will likely start to see ads for travel companies, flights or hotels.Renee Hobbs, director of the Media Education Lab at the University of Rhode Island, however, argues that algorithms are not all bad. She says search engine algorithms can help you find what might be the most useful information faster. But she says it is in the interests of Internet companies to keep users on the Internet for as long as possible so they see more ads.The current generation of young people grow up using the Internet and they are prone(易于遭受) to distrustful information.That is why schools must train students how to use the Internet more wisely in their Studies.It is the duty of education to keep students informed about the world around them. Yet it is not the duty of education alone. And lawmakers should consider increasing data protection rules. Individuals can also use a wide variety of websites to avoid algorithmic controls.32.How do algorithms affect users' Internet experience?A.They lead to slower Internet connection.B.They block ads for users automatically.C.They always help users get reliable links.D.They determine the content users receive.33.What is Hobbs' attitude to algorithms?A.Doubtful.B.Supportive.C.Objective.D.Indifferent.34.What can be concluded from the last paragraph?A.Young people fall victim to the Internet.B.Data protection rules are already enough.cation is fully responsible for algorithmic controls.D.Joint efforts are needed to handle algorithmic controls.35.Which column of a magazine is the text most likely from?A.Science.B.Entertainment.C.Advertisement.D.Fashion.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。

When it comes, people from around the world, including 5,000 in the small town today, watch this tongue-twisting(发音饶舌的) small town for a sign from one groundhog that supposedly predicts when that years' spring will arrive.If it's a cloudy day outside when the groundhog pops from its cave, then spring will arrive early that year. However, if it is sunny outside, the groundhog will supposedly be scared by its own shadow, hiding underground for six more weeks of cold weather.Of course, Punxsutawney Phil's prediction is no more able to guarantee theextended forecast than your local weatherman. ABC News reports that an analysis by the National Climate Data Center found that Phil's predictions are more often wrong than right.Philis is also found to have made some unpleasant predictions. Ever since 1887, he has predicted 99 extended winters and just 16 early springs .Nine of the years' predictions were unavailable, according to ABC.The holiday began as a German tradition in 18th century and became even more of a cultural phenomenon after the 1993 film Groundhog Day starring Bill Murray.Punxsutawney Phil has become a celebrity in his own right. Each year, the fatter animal with long teeth is watched by millions as he emerges from a cave in the town he is named after. Phil has become so beloved by the town that he actually lives in the local library with his “wife" Phyllis.Taking inspiration from the hard state of Bill Murray’s character in the classic film, Yahoo contributor Owen Rust says Groundhog Day is a good time to reflect on one’s rou tines.24.The underlined word “pops” means “”.A.escapesB.appearsC.increasesD.hides25.The reason why Phil's predictions aren't pleasing is that_____________.A.some of the predictions were unavailableB.Phil wants to do that for funC.Phil likes to make unpleasant predictionsD.he has predicted more late springs26.How does Punxsutawney Phil become a celebrity?A.By an accident.B.From people's life improving.C.By his own attractive forceD.From much money raised by the town.27.Which does this passage mainly talk about?A.The National Climate Data CenterB.A German traditionC.A tongue-twisting small townD.Groundhog Day weather forecastingCFor some years，my mother worked for a charity as President and Secretary.Selling raffle tickets(兑奖券) was her main means of bringing in the charity’s muchneeded funds.We girls would accompany her，selling tickets with great success.My fathermade and donated beautiful wooden toys，jewellery boxes and other lovely items as prizes.Now my sister was always coming up with “good ideas”，most of which didn’t work out to plan.But that didn’t deter her.She had many just waiting to be tested.When she was eight and I was just five，we had a wonderful idea for a business adventure.We decided we would sell raffle tickets for charity，and that charity was us!So one afternoon，we told our mother we were going to play in the park with our cousins as we did most days after school.But instead，we walked around the streets armed with a raffle book，a pen and a large cloth bag to carry the money.We’d accompanied our mother many times when she sold tickets，so people were familiar with us when we appeared at their doors.Despite the blank looks they received when asking about the prizes on offer，they were very generous.Although there were no actual prizes，our mother’s previous track record enabled us to sell nearly the whole book of raffle tickets.Like a little pair of lottery(彩票) winners，we walked home and proudly showed off our takings.But our enjoyment of this sudden wealth was shortlived，and our plans for spending it quickly failed.Our angry mother took us back to every ticket buyer，making us apologize and give the money back.Thankfully，our sweet neighbors didn’t make a big deal of our “clever” misbehavior and thus my mother’s fundraising career could continue safely.We were taught a good lesson by our mother that day.Also I remember my sister’s entrepreneurial(企业家的) spirit dried up a bit after that.28.What did the author’s father do?A.He got prizes ready.B.He sold handmade items.C.He was in charge of a charity.D.He helped design raffle tickets.29.What does the underlined word “deter” in Paragraph 2 mean?A.Embarrass.B.Shock.C.Discourage.D.Mislead.30.What can be learned about the author and her sister while selling raffle tickets?A.They ran into their mother.B.They met some generous strangers.C.They got lost while walking around the streets.D.They took advantage of people’s trust in their mother.31.What lesson did the author and her sister learn?A.Honesty is the best policy.B.What’s done can’t be undone.C.Misfortune never comes alone.D.Good advice is beyond all price.DChina is one of the first countries to breed a medical culture. In comparison with Western methods, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) adopts a vastly different approach. For thousands of years, Chinese people have accumulated rich experience in fighting all sorts of diseases, therefore forming a unique medical theory under the guidance of ancient Chinese philosophies.The core behind TCM is that the human body's life is the consequence of the balance between Yin and Yang. Yang functions to safeguard us against outer harm, and Yin is the inner base to store and provide energy. When the balance between the two aspects is disturbed, people fall ill.One of the traditional techniques of TCM, acupuncture (针刺疗法) means insertion of needles into superficial structures of the body - usually at acupoints (穴位) - to restore the Yin-Yang balance. It is often accompanied by moxibustion (艾灸疗法), which involves burning mugwort on or near the skin at an acupoint.The first known text that clearly talks about something like acupuncture and moxibustion as it is practiced today is The Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon. It is the earliest and most important written work of TCM and is considered the fundamental and most representative medical text in China.Acupuncture and moxibustion have aroused the interest of international medical science circles. And TCM is gradually gaining worldwide recognition. The WHO issued a document in 2002 that appealed to more than 180 countries to adopt TCM as an alternative in their medical policies. In 2010, acupuncture and moxibustion of traditional Chinese medicine were added to the Representative List of the IntangibleCultural Heritage of Humanity by the UNESCO. Presently, TCM has been back in the news for its effectiveness in improving the cure rate of the COVID-19 since its outbreak in January 2020.32.What is the key feature of TCM?A.It helps to restore body’s self-balance.B.It’s based on ancient Chinese philosophies.C.It adopts different medical approaches.D.It’s gained experience through rich practice.33.What can we learn about The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon from the text?A.It greatly boosts the development of TCM.B.It’s a foundation of world medical research.C.It stresses the importance of using acupoints.D.It distinguishes acupuncture from moxibustion.34.Why does the writer write this text?A.To introduce TCM to the world.B.To review the development of TCM.C.To tell TCM and Western medicine apart.D.To comment on TCM in fighting COVID-19.35.What might be talked about in the paragraph following the text?A.Why TCM gets recognition from WHO.B.Why TCM is gaining popularity.C.How TCM helps in the current situation.D.How other countries adopt TCM.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。

A little boy loved to come and play with it every day. He climbed to the tree top, ate the apples... He loved the tree and the tree loved him.Time went by... the little boy had grown up and he no longerplayed around the tree every day. One day, the boy came back to the tree. “Come and play with me,” the tre e asked the boy. “I am no longer a kid; I don’t play around trees anymore.” The boy replied, “I want toys. I need money to buy them.” “Sorry, but I don’t have money. B ut you can pick all my apples and sell them. So, you will have money.” The boy was so excited. He picked all the apples on the tree and left happily. The boy never came back after he picked the apples. The tree was sad.One day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited. “Come and play with me,” the tree said. “I don’t have time to play. I have to work for my family. We need a house for shelter. Can you help me?” “Sorry, but I don’t have a house. But you can cut off my branches to build your house.” So t he boy cut all the branches off the tree and left happily. The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy never came back since then. The tree was again lonely and sad.Finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years. “Sorry, my boy. But I don’t have anything for you anymore... the only thing left is my dying roots,” the tree said with tears.“I don’t need much now, just a place to rest. I am tired after all these years.”The boy replied.“Good! Old tree root is the best place to rest. Come, Come to sit down with me and rest.” The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tea rs...24.Why did the tree feel sad?A.Because her apples were eaten.B.Because the boy had grown up.C.Because she lost all her branches.D.Because the boy never came back to see her.25.Which one is the most important for the tree?A.The boy can play with him.B.The boy is happy.C.The boy comes back to see him.D.A and C.26.What does the tree stand for in our real life?A.Our friends.B.Our parentsC.Our teachers.D.Strangers.27.Who does the passage write for?A.Children.B.Parents.C.Builders.D.Everyone.CCandy comes in many flavors. Some taste like fruit. Some taste like flowers. Some are chewy, like taffy (太妃糖) and gum. Hard candies are, well. hard! So, they last a long time.But, in spoken English, there are some types of candy that you cannot eat. For example, you can’t eat eye candy. Eye candy is a person-man or woman-who is very good-looking. So, looking at this person is a treat for the eye, just like candy is a treat for the taste buds.Do you hear of candy coat? Of course it is not a coat made of candy. But you can say I don’t candy coat the truth. What does candy-coating something mean? Well, some pills are covered with a coat of thin, sweet candy. The coating makes swallowing the pill easier, and it may hide a bad taste. So, candy coating a difficult truth or situation means you don’t directlydiscuss its bad parts.After talking about candy you may want to eat some candies. However, some peopledislike things that are very sweet, especially adults. But even if you do not like candy, you can still be called a kid in a candy store. This expression means a person is very happy to do something or to simply be somewhere. Imagine a child going from one candy display to the next, not knowing which candy to choose!Talking about children brings us to another expression: as easy as taking candy from a baby. Think about a small, helpless baby holding a piece of candy. Taking it would be very easy—mean, but easy. So, use this expression when you are talking about something that may be simple to do, but probably not right.28.What kind of girl can be described as “eye candy”?A.BeautifulB.OptimisticC.HardworkingD.Warmhearted29.What does the underlined word “swallowing” mean in English?A.Making.B.Taking.C.Selling.D.Testing.30.Which of the following expressions means you are doing something with wrong intention?A.Hard candies.B.Candy coat.C.A kid in a candy store.D.As easy as taking candy from a baby.31.What is the best title of the passage?A.Candy. Enjoy It or Avoid ItB.Various Candies in EnglishC.The Best Candy in the WorldD.Candies’ Different FlavorsDFor many, scientific innovations tend to be welcome advancements that improve our lives. For some, however, new technologies bring risk of uselessness, in turn leading to great resistance.With the climate crisis unfolding before our eyes, the race is on to find alternatives that will help humanity leave a smaller footprint on our planet. Because of animal agriculture's leading role as a greenhouse gas emitter, the search for more sustainable protein sources could be one such alternative.As food tech companies use science to unlock the potential of plant proteins,they're producing increasingly better plant-based meats and milks that look and taste like the real thing, but with a much lower carbon footprint. Some in the meat industry are supporting the new and investing in these alt-protein companies.For some lawmakers, however, these innovative products don't deserve support; they deserve restriction. Missouri State, for example, recently passed a bill making it a crime punishable by imprisonment for companies to call their products ''meat'' if they don’t come from an animal.So why the mania (狂热) over meat and milk all of a sudden? Was there a consumer who brought home some pies labeled''plant-based meat'' only to realize he was tricked? Did confused milk-drinkers file complaints with the Department of Agriculture when they found out their soymilk didn't contain actual milk?There really are some consumers who are truly confused. Surveys show, however, that number is remarkably small. If anything, consumers are choosing these plant-based products specifically because they think they're better for them than the original products. And they have good reason to believe that plant-based milks and meats usually have less fat and more fiber than comparable animal-based foods.So, consumers aren't confusing ''veggie bacon'' for real bacon; and if they don't think chicken nuggets have the same nutritional value as ''chicken-free nuggets'', then why do some meat and milk groups want a monopoly (垄断) over the M-words? Could it have to do with the fact that the increasing popularity of these foods, which are more sustainable and better for you, is threatening the profits of their constituents?And with the future of our civilization hanging in the balance as climate change becomes more severe, it's time for policy makers to stop trying to prevent innovation, and instead to celebrate all the ways science can save us, including with sustainable proteins that can and do produce new kinds of meat.32.What can be learned about the M-word applied to plant-based substitutes?A.They are environmentally friendly.B.They are innovative and widely accepted.C.They have been restricted across America.D.They have been produced in large quantities.33.From the passage we can learn that consumers ______.A.have sufficient faith in new science and technologyB.prefer the original products to the plant-based productsC.buy the plant-based products for their great benefit to healthD.often get confused by the composition of the new kind of meat34.According to the author, some people resist the new kind of food probably because _____.A.it contains no real meatB.it brings risks to societyC.it plays a trick on customersD.it poses a threat to their profits35.What's the author's attitude towards the plant-based products?A.Supportive.B.Cautious.C.Ambiguous.D.Disapproving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。

AIn the past, most people would just throw away their worn-out appliances (家用电器)，but due to the many environmental issues that this has caused over the years, it is highly suggested to consider recycling or other ways.Donate Your Appliances to an OrganizationThe first thing that most people think about when they hear about donating is giving old things to a charity or an organization. However, you should ensure that your appliances still work. Not only do you put repair costs on the charity, but you are also using the organization as a way to get rid of your junk.Find a New OwnerThere are many people that could greatly benefit from y our used appliances, including new couples, students, poverty-stricken families, and many others. Similar to donating to a charity, it is important to ensure that your appliances are in good working order, and if they are not, you can put up an ad definitely stating that you are giving away the broken appliances for free.Contact a Recycling CompanyBefore you do recycle your old items, there are several things that you should be aware of. First of all, you need to know about how refrigerator freezers, and air conditioners are recycled, as often these must be covered. According to your city, you may be required to take off the doors of your appliances to protect children or animals from getting trapped inside and getting hurt.Donate Your Appliances as Scrap (废品) MetalIf your old appliances are completely broken, it might be best to just give them away as scrap metal. Fortunately, there are many different organizations andcompanies that need as much metal as they can get. Additionally, you won't have to do any of the scrapping or tearing apart by your-selves, as professionals take care and effort in removing harmful elements.21.What's the similarity between the first two ways?A.The appliances are given away for free.B.The appliances should be better in good condition.C.The appliances will be sent to organizations.D.The harmful parts of appliances must be got rid of.22.If we want to recycle our old appliances, what should we consider?A.What kind of appliances can be recycled.B.Who can really benefit much from them.C.Whether they will cause some danger or harm.D.Which is the most suitable recycling company.23.What can you do if you want to donate your completely broken appliances?A.Tear them apart on your own.B.Give them to companies that need metal.C.Remove the harmful elements of them yourself.D.Make sure companies that want the metal pay the delivery fee.BA job is more than just a job, especially to the older generation. “It’s not the money that matters, but the sense of self-w orth,” 56-year-old Cheng Wonlan said. So, every day Ms. Cheng carries a bag of parcels, letters and documents of all shapes and sizes and does her rounds in North Point. She’s a courier (快递人员).Five years ago, Ms. Cheng was a nurse at a private clinic. She had worked there for almost 30 years but was made jobless when the doctor migrated ( 移居 ). It was extremely difficult for her to find another job as a nurse. “People do not trust my ability when they learn how old I am,” she said. After two years of sear ching, the mother of two eventually found another nursing job. But then after two years, she quit. Why?“My colleagues were young and they didn’t understand me because of my age.They often asked me, ‘You are so old, what are you working for?’ I was very u nhappy.” She said. So while the rest of her family left for work, she was left to lonely boredom at home. Then, one of Ms. Cheng’s neighbours told her about Employee’s Retraining Board (ERB) offering retraining courses for older people on specific occupations, such as convenience store assistants, junior clerks and so on.“I was interested in courier work. I didn’t think my age was a barrier becauseI was fit and healthy,” she said. Upon graduation from the ERB, Ms. Cheng was offereda job by the Speeding Shuttle Courier Service Company Limited. But then Ms. Cheng was caught between honour and employment. It took Ms. Cheng 24 hours to make up her mind and eventually she took heart and went off to work as a courier.Ms. Cheng’s employer is delighted with her.“Ms. Cheng has been working with us for two months and has shown a good responsible attitude to work.” Anthony Chong, who runs the company, said. Mr. Chong said he hired older people because they were able and reliable. “Age is not an important factor but attitude is. Many old people are more capable than youngsters. They will not run from difficulties but young ones will,” he said. “It is not easy to recruit (招募) young people since they shy away from hardship and challenges.”24.Why was it difficult for Ms. Cheng to find another nursing job?A.Nursing clinics were hard to find.B.She found it difficult to trust others.C.People thought she was too old to work.D.People didn’t think she had enough work experience.25.Ms. Cheng left her second nursing job because .A.it was too difficultB.she was too old to do the jobC.she was bored with changeless jobsD.the other staff made her feel uncomfortable26.Employee’s Retraining Board is aimed at .A.finding jobs for older peopleB.teaching new skills to older peopleC.training older people to be healthierD.providing older people with chances to earn money27.According to Anthony Chong, young people .A.are able and reliableB.are less experienced than the older onesC.are fitter and stronger than the older onesD.are more likely to give up than the older onesCThe summer is so hot and sticky, why would we want to sweat even more by exercising? Or is it just I who think like that? Sweat and clothes sticking to our bodies as we move make exercise seem rather uncomfortable. What can be done to fix it?Researchers at MIT have come up with a solution. They’ve developed a workout suit with flaps that open as the wearer begins sweating. As the person cools off, the flaps shrink until they assume their original position.Sounds cool, sounds practical. These flaps are lined with live, microbial ( 微生物的)cells. These cells can detect when the body is heating up too much, and in response, expand. It’s just as if they were working w ithin any other organism, recognizing patterns of heating and cooling, then responding appropriately to maintain body temperature. It seems kind of strange to have living cells (that aren’t your own) on you, right? Not to fear, these cells have been believ ed safe. Plus, there’s a material in the suit that helps the flaps/cells hover ever so slightly above the exerciser's skin. The flaps start opening as soon as people start feeling warm and sweaty, and the bit of space between the suit and the skin helps develop that feeling of cool and refreshing air as they move. For more information about flaps, click here.According to , researchers have also been working to apply this technology to running shoes as well. Moisture-responsive workout clothing has the potential to revolutionize sport fashion industry. People can stay drier, coolerand fresher at the end of the workout, which sounds better than leaving the gym with a trail of sweat and a red face. It’s possible that the comfort of these suits c an make people enjoy exercising more and exercise with more intensity.28.What’s the purpose of the first paragraph?A.To introduce the topic.B.To show his dislike of summer.C.To give an example.D.To tell of his dream.29.What can’t be learned from the passage?A.When a person doesn’t sweat, the flaps will come to its original position.B.The flaps themselves can float slightly around the exerciser’s skin.C.When a person sweats, the flaps will expand.D.The flaps are essential to cooling exercisers down.30.What’s mainly talked about in the last paragraph?A.The influence of the technology.B.The efficiency of the technology.C.Different reviews on the technology.D.Author’s attitude to the technology.31.Where does the essay come from?A.MagazineB.NewspaperC.BrochureD.WebsiteDThe 5-year-old mountain lion, P-45, has managed to cross busy roads safely, has avoided rat poison and has successfully claimed his territory (领地) under all challenges that have hindered other members of the mountain lion population in the Santa Monica Mountain. His deadly mistake, however, was doing what mountain lions naturally do so well: killing and eating.Over the weekend, P-45 apparently broke into two farms, killing 10 alpacas(羊驼) at one property and a goat and an alpaca at the other. P-45 was identified as the criminal by a tracking device he wears.It’s illegal to hunt mountain lions in California thanks to 1990’s Proposition 117, but the rule included an exception for residents whose livestock is killed by a lion. And on Nov. 28, the owner of the 10 dead alpacas requested and received a special “depredation permit” (掠夺许可)to hire a hunter to kill P-45. The 10-daypermit allows the hunter to cover a 10-mile range around the farm in search of the lion. Hunters often attract the lion with a deer.The farmer owner is within her legal rights to have the lion killed. But killing P-45 is not the answer, especially when he is one of the few adult male mountain lions in an isolated population that is at risk of extinction.Of course, people should be allowed to protect themselves and their children if a mountain lion attacks. But the law that allows the issuance of the depredation permit essentially gives the livestock owner the right to decide whether the lion should live or die. There is no evaluation by wildlife official as to whether the lion poses a further threat to humans or animals.Los Angeles residents are lucky to live near wild, open spaces large enough to sustain mountain lions. Surely there is a better way to manage the conflicts that arise when humans and their domestic animals move into areas that have long served as habitat for wildlife.32.What does the underlined word “hindered” refer to in the first paragraph?A.blocked.B.killed.C.protected.D.surrounded.33..What can we infer from the third paragraph?A.Lions feed only on deer.B.P-45 will be killed on Nov. 28.C.P-45 will be found10 miles around the farm in 10 days.D.Lions in California can not be hunted at will.34.What will probably be the result if P-45 is killed?A.Residents can live with lions peacefully.B.The mountain lion’s situation will probably be worsened.C.The conflict between man and lions can be solved.D.Lions will not be a further threat to humans or animals.35.What’s the author’s attitude towards the “depredation permit”?A.Objective.B.Supportive.C.Opposed.D.Uninterested.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。

That hard, unpleasant sound may be making it harder to shake off the sleepy feeling in the morning known as grogginess. So, is there a better way to wake up?A recent study says yes. The answer is music.The study, carried out by researchers in Australia, involved 50 people. The researchers found that people who wake up to musical alarms reported feeling more awake and alert. Stuart McFarlane, a lead writer of the study stated, "We are very surprised by these findings as one might expect a harsh beeping sound to be more successful," at waking up a person.Sleep inertia is another term for grogginess. It means a person has a heavy feeling when waking up, and has trouble getting moving again after sleeping.McFarlane said people need to better understand sleep inertia's harmful effects on human performance later in the day.Not everyone will experience the full effect. But for those who do, "care should be taken" when performing duties that require a top performance within this period, he said. This includes "dangerous tasks like driving or riding our bikes" shortly after waking up. The same is true for people who work in dangerous situations shortly after they wake, including firefighters and pilots.So, what makes musical alarms better for waking up? The researchers think the music may be more successful in reducing sleep inertia because it has several tones, compared to the single tone of a "beeping" alarm. McFarlane said that the changes over time between the music tones may help increase a person's attention when waking from sleep.And is there a kind of music that is best to wake up to? There may be, McFarlane said. "We could suggest alarm sounds that are tune full and easy to hum or sing along with. The current sounds I have been using include 'Close to me' by the Cure and 'Borderline' by Madonna."No matter how you wake up, experts say, the amount of sleep you get also matters — a lot.24.Which of the following might be the best title for the text?A.What is grogginess?B.Why are musical alarms better?C.Which music is the best?D.How can we overcome grogginess?25.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.Sleep inertia is another cause for grogginess.B.How long a person sleeps is of great importance.C.The 'beeping' alarm is not effective mainly because of its noisy tone.D.It is dangerous for everyone to drive or ride bicycles shortly after waking up.26.The paragraph following this passage is likely to focus on .A.examples of good musical alarmsB.more findings of the application of musicC.explanations about why music is more helpfulD.suggestions on how to sleep well and feel fresh each morning27.In which section of a magazine may you find the passage?A.Health.B.Fiction.C.Technology.D.EntertainmentCWhen I was 8 years old, I decided to run away from home after a quarrel with my mother. With my suitcase packed and some sandwiches in a bag, I started for the front door.My mom asked where I was going. “I’m leaving home,” I said.“What’s that you’re carrying?” she asked.“Some clothes and food,” I replied.“If you want to run away, that’s all right,” she said. “But you came into this home without anything and you can leave the same way.”I threw my suitcase and sandwiches on the floor and started for the door again.“Wait a minute,” Mom said. “You didn’t have any clothes on when you arrived, and I want them back.”This infuriated me. I tore my clothes off — shoes, socks, underwear and all —and shouted, “Can I go now?”“Yes,” my mom answered, “but once you close that door, don’t expect to come back.”I was so angry that I shut the door forcefully and stepped out of my home. Then I noticed down the street two neighbor girls walking toward our house. I was so shy that I saw the big spruce (云杉) tree in our yard and jumped under the low-hanging branches (树枝). A pile of dried-up brown needles (针状物) were beneath the tree, and you can’t imagine the pain those sharp needles caused to my body.After I was sure the girls had passed by, I ran to the front door and knocked at it loudly.“It’s Billy! Let me in!”The voice behind the door answered, “Billy doesn’t live here anymore. He ran away from home.”Looking behind me to see if anyone else was coming down the street, I said, “Mom! I’m sorry. I’m still your son. Let me in!”The door opened and Mom’s smiling face appeared. “Did you change your mind about running away?” she asked.“What’s for supper?” I smiled back.28.When the author was leaving home, his mother ordered him to _____.A.stay at homeB.take some sandwichesC.leave everything behindD.check his suitcase carefully29.The underlined word “infuriated” probably means “_____”.A.surprisedB.warnedC.encouragedD.angered30.Why did the author jump under the low-hanging branches?A.To avoid being seen.B.To find some needles.C.To play a joke on the two girls.D.To attract the two girls’ attention.31.The last sentence “What’s for supper?” mainly shows that the author _____.A.changed his plan to leave homeB.felt very hungry at that timeC.wished to eat something before leavingD.wanted to know what his mother prepared for supperDShould we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city? In order to answer this question, we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area. Not all historical buildings are attractive. However, there may be other reasons—for example, economic reasons—why they should be preserved. So, let us assume that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people. What should we do then if a new building is needed?In my view, new architectural (建筑上的)styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style. Indeed, there are many examples in my own hometown of tours where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings. Aslong as the building in question is pleasing and does not influence its surroundings too much, it often improves the attractiveness of the area.It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt (破坏) the area they are in, but the same can be said of some old buildings too. Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas. I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative (保守的) and do not like change.Although we have to respect people's feelings as fellow users of the buildings, I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward. If we always reproduced what was there before, we would all still be living in caves. Thus, I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different, even though that might be the more risky choice.32.What does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph?A.Some of them are not attractive.B.Most of them are too expensive to preserve.C.They are more pleasing than modern buildings.D.They have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area.33.Which of the following is TRUE according to the author?A.We should reproduce the same old buildings.B.Buildings should not dominate their surroundings.C.Some old buildings have spoilt the area they are in.D.No one understands why people speak against new buildings.34.By "move things for ward" in the last paragraph, the author probably means "________".A.put things in a different placeB.choose new architectural styleC.rebuild old buildings in a new styleD.respect people's feelings for historical buildings35.What is the main purpose of the passage?A.To explain why people dislike change.B.To warn that we could end up living in caves.C.To admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings.D.To argue that modern buildings can be built in historic areas.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。
