AWith two documentaries-All That Breathes and The Elephant Whisperers-making it to the Oscars, there＇s renewed interest in India＇s diverse wildlife. However, most popular wildlife parks are usually expensive. Here are four less-known reserves that are not so costly but equally worth exploring.Coringa Wildlife ReserveCoringa is the second largest mangrove forest in the country. It is a birder＇s paradise and also home to otters, jackals, fishing cats and estuarine crocodiles. Endangered Olive Ridley sea turtles nest here during January-March every year.COST OF RIDE: 400-2, 500 per person by boatBEST TIME TO VISIT: November to FebruaryNational Chambal ReserveThe 5, 400 sq km reserve is the only one in India with three keystone species-Ganges river dolphin, ghariyal and red-crowned roof turtle-along with eight rare turtle species and about 300 species of migratory and resident birds.COST OF RIDE: 1, 800 per person by boatBEST TIME TO VISIT: November to MarchGulf of Mannar Marine National ParkThe park has 21 small islands and three distinct coastal ecosystems-coral reef, seagrass bed and mangroves-with over 4, 200 species of plants and animals. It is the last reserve of the unique “living fossil” Balanoglossus that links vertebrates （脊椎动物）and invertebrates.COST OF RIDE: 200-400 per person in a glass-bottomed boatBEST TIME TO VISIT: October to MarchManas National ParkThis reserve is a UNESCO Natural World Heritage Site. It is home to the threatened Indian Rhinoceros and other rare species like the Red Panda, Golden Langur and Pygmy Hog, and is also a Project Tiger Reserve and an elephant reserve with around 55 species of mammals, 450 species of birds and 50 species of reptiles.COST OF RIDE: 1, 150 per head on elephant, 4, 400 for a jeep with four people, 8, 200 per person to 10, 600 for six people in a boatBEST TIME TO VISIT: October to May1. What is probably the major concern of visitors choosing these less-known reservesA. Season.B. Security.C. Price.D. Transportation.2. Which attracts tourists who hope to see different turtle species mostA. Coringa Wildlife Reserve.B. National Chambal Reserve.C. Gulf of Mannar Marine National Park.D. Manas National Park.3. How much does it cost for 4 people to explore Manas National Park on elephantA. 4, 400.B. 4, 600.C. 8, 200.D. 10, 600.BWhen 76-year-old Antoinette-Marie Williams played 17-year-old Emmett Daniels in chess for the first time, she gave Daniels a run for his money. Paired through DOROT, a New York organization which was launched in 1976, they are a. perfect match. “I was a good opponent for him. I don't think he expected it. ” Williams told the CVS Health blog Fortune Well. Their weekly games have led Daniels and Williams to a cross-generational relationship that they both enjoy. Williams and Daniels＇relationship disproves the idea that people of different generations have little in common.Since its founding, DOROT has achieved a reputation of excellence and innovation in the fields of aging services. Volunteers of young ages offer critical resources to older adults, in services specific to the person's needs and interests, with the ultimate goal of lessening loneliness of the old.Loneliness has been recognized as a significant social issue for many years, but the classification of loneliness as an epidemic （流行病）has emerged only in recent years. In 2018, the UK government appointed a Minister for Loneliness, highlighting the increasing concern around the issue. This followed the publication of the 2017 report by the Jo Cox Loneliness Commission, which found that loneliness was a growing social epidemic and called for a national strategy to address the issue. Fortunately, there are ways to battle loneliness, including the intervention in the lives of isolated seniors by organizations like DOROT. It advocates building a support network by reaching out to family and friends, joining a community or social group, or volunteering to connect with like-minded people. The connection between Williams and Daniels shows that these inter-generational relationships play an important role in reducing loneliness and adding joy to the lives of all the participants, young and old.Another way to battle loneliness is to use technology to stay connected with loved ones which fosters meaning and purpose through online activities and conversations. Practicing self-care is also encouraged, as is being patient because strong relationships take time and effort to create.4. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 1 probably meanA. She had a running race with Daniels.B. Daniels felt disappointed.C. Daniels had a tough win.D. She gave Daniels money as a gift of greeting.5. What is the purpose of DOROTA. To make technological innovation.B. To enhance the living standards of the elderly.C. To offer job opportunities for people of all ages.D. To provide seniors with inter-generational connection.6. What does the author try to stress in paragraph 3A. The solution to loneliness.B. The root cause of loneliness.C. The classification of loneliness.D. The growing attention to loneliness.7. In which section of a newspaper does this passage probably come fromA. Society Watch.B. News Express.C. Page Turner.D. Science Study.CSeveral years ago, I was at a pre-season football practice at a high school where I was working with the team on. a concussion（脑震荡）research project. The players were lined up in two rows facing each other and with little more instruction from the coach than, “on the whistle, hit the man across from you”, great concern rushed through my mind.Professional sports get the lion's share of attention, but over three million children and teenagers in the United States play the same game. This directly places concussions as a significant public health concern for all.However, for decades, concussion has been considered a temporary injury with no long-term consequences. Many athletes will do just about anything to stay on the field and “play through the pain” as a sign of toughness. In 2005, with the release of the brain tissue pathology （病理学）report of Mike Webstera, a retired National Football League player, our thinking on concussion began to shift. Since then, public attention has focused on this link between brain injury and blows to the head. As our understanding of concussion progressed to understanding its significance as an injury, so too did the development of player equipment.In the early 1900s football was played without helmets （头盔）, but severe injuries, like skull fractures, led to the occasional use of leather helmets in the 1920s. The first face mask entered the game in the 1950s. Modern helmets use advanced shel1 materials, have moveable panels to absorb forces, and multi-layered padding that responds to different panies will continue to improve helmets as new materials become available, guided by the newest science.Sports are an important part of a society's culture and they give millions of children much-needed exercise. Yet, participation in any sport carries injury risk, and concussion will always be part of that. As those children become adults and make sport their hobby or 'even career, ensuring them play safely at all levels is essential.8. What made the author feel concernedA. The coach's inexperience.B. The physical conflicts among the players.C. Unawareness of the potential injuries.D. Unpredictable outcome of the project.9. What did athletes use to do when meeting with sports-related concussionA. They tended to ignore it.B. They felt scared about it.C. They quit playing immediately.D. They refused medical assistance.10. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about concerning the helmetA. Its gradual improvement.B. Its widespread influence.C. The discovery of its new materials.D. The difficulty of its mass production.11. What can be inferred from the last paragraphA. Exercise is vital for children.B. Sports safety can't be overemphasized.C. No participation in sports is without injuries.D. Concussion is the most common injury in sports.DPeople generally feel secure with certainty. To be certain is to have power and control. Certainty is often used as a metric（衡量标准）of value, shaping how people view themselves and others. For example, people tend to respect those who present themselves as certain while viewing those who express uncertainty as wishy-washy, and untrustworthy. Young people growing up in a culture that identifies strongly with certainty are told that to be certain is to be secure, right, and good. It is the idea, more than uncertainty itself, that causes great anxiety.But the reality is that certainty is transient; it is more a feeling than a fact. Too often people act as if certainties are drawn in permanent marker: Thick, clear, definitive, and rigid. But they are not. They are actually drawn with pencil-ready for revision, editing, and change.Springtide's recent report, The State of Religion and Young People: Navigating Uncertainty, allows us to hear how young people are questioning certainty and increasingly rejecting the rules that isolate them from themselves and one another. Milly, a 25-year-old quoted in the report, described her experience in a group discussion where uncertainty was welcomed rather than criticized:“Like, struggling to know what or what not to believe. . . . That's something we talked about in the group. It actually makes me feel a little bit better. It's like, oh, like we can have doubts. We can struggle with these feelings and they're still, we're still accepted, you know So that was actually kind of refreshing" （Springtide, 2021, p. 46）. Young people are not rejecting certainty, but they are not accepting prepackaged answers or one-dimensional solutions. They are reexamining pre-drawn labels, beliefs, and identities and daring to ask “Why ” Their courage to question is an invitation to all of us to reconsider and rediscover uncertainty. We can listen to and learn from young people, embracing（拥抱）this opportunity as a moment of critical self-reflection and growth. If we will accept uncertainties, we might discover the ways that multiple beliefs, practices, values, identities, and communities can coexist and develop together.12. What is the purpose of paragraph 1A. To explain a concept.B. To advocate a culture.C. To introduce a different opinion.D. To confirm an assumption.13. What does the underlined word "transient” probably mean in paragraph 2A. Changeable.B. Predictable.C. Popular.D. Objective.14. What was Milly's attitude towards the group discussionA. Intolerant.B. Doubtful.C. Unconcerned.D. Positive.15. Which of the following can be the best title of the passageA. Unmask the Culture of CertaintyB. Embrace the Gift of UncertaintyC. Certainty: Should It Be Rejected by the YoungD. Uncertainty: Should It Be Blamed for Anxiety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。

Our guide will also highlight some farming methods that are environmentally friendly. WORKSHOPS1.What can a visitor enjoy during the guided tour?A.Trying out new farming methods.B.Tasting some vegetables and fruits.C.Visiting the farm without registration.D.Sharing knowledge of plants with the locals.2.How much need a couple with one child pay for My Miniature Garden?A.$40.B.$55.C.$65.D.$80.3.What is the main purpose of the event?A.To instruct visitors to prepare gifts.B.To advocate the protection of the farm plants.C.To publicize the sale of organic produce.D.To encourage people to grow their own food.BKeeping a language alive can strengthen people's sense of identity and most importantly lead to the preservation of a whole culture.This is probably why a group of Cherokee music artists decided to create a music album(唱片)exclusively in the Cherokee language,a highly endangered Native American language.Currently,there are fewer than2,000fluent speakers of the language remaining in the world,and the,number is declining every year.The album,tilted DOAP av and pronounced'Ah'‘Nuh'‘Duh'‘Nah''Lees'‘Gi',means "Performers"in English.It is comprised of a range of contemporary styles,including Pop,Reggae, Country,Heavy.Metal,Hip Hop,and Folk.With a planned release date of Labor Day weekend,the record company is using the platform of the National Cherokee Holiday to give this album as much exposure as possible.Jeremy Charles,a key figure in getting this album off the ground,has said that the"music will shine a spotlight on Cherokee artists and speakers,and increase exposure to our culture and language worldwide".He aims for the album to be an inspiration to the next generation of Cherokee language learners.Featuring12Cherokee artists ranging from ages14to50,you can see how this album is going to do a lot for the promotion of Cherokee music and can inspire people of any age to make music that connects with their heritage(遗产).The youngest contributor on the album,Lillian Charles,is only in8th grade but hada major contribution to the Goth-pop song"Circus"—a song she wrote at the age of12.Itoriginally written in English,she worked with translators Bobbie Smith and Kathy Sierrato be able to fully express herself in Cherokee.Projects like the DOOAP oaV album bring a modern approach to revitalizing languageand culture and encourage a younger audience,to get involved and start learning theCherokee language.On average,a native language is lost forever every two weeks,andthese people want to make sure that the Cherokee language isn't one of them.4.What can we learn about the album from paragraph2?A.It has various musical styles.B.It is titled Performers in English.C.It sings high praise of Labor Day.D.It was exposed to the public by chance.5.What's Jeremy Charles's expectation of the album?A.It will make a huge profit for the record company.B.It can help the12artists rise to fame overnight.C.It will satisfy the fans'demand for pop music.D.It can fuel the youth's interest in Cherokee language.6.Which can best replace the underlined word"revitalizing"in the last paragraph?A.Translating.B.Reviewing.C.Restoring.D.Creating.7.What's the best title of the text?A.Alarming!The Cherokee Language is DyingB.Amazing!An8th Grader is Releasing an AlbumC.Bringing Music to Life with Modern TechnologyD.Preserving a Language Through the Power of MusicCWhat is the15-minute city?It's the urban planning concept that everything city residents need should be a short walk or bike ride away—about15minutes from home to work,shopping, entertainment,restaurants,schools,parks and health care.Supporters argue that15-minute cities are healthier for residents and the environment,creating united mini-communities,boosting local businesses,and encouraging people to get outside,walk,and cycle.Many cities across Europe offer similar ideas,but Paris has become its poster child.Mayor Anne Hidalgo has sought to fight climate change by decreasing choking traffic in the streets and fuel emissions.In2015,Paris was17th on the list of bike-friendly cities;by2019,it was8th.Car ownership,meanwhile,dropped from60percent of house holds in2001to35percent in2019.The 15-minute city figured largely in Hidalgo's successful2020re-election campaign.The idea has also gained support in the U.S.It clearly won't work everywhere:Not every city is as centralized and walk able as Paris. Some car-dominated cities like Los Angeles and Phoenix would be hard-pressed to provide everything people need within walking distance.In addition,some urban planners argue that the 15-minute city could increase the separation of neighborhoods by income.Neighborhoods equipped with all the conveniences required by the15-minute city also tend to have high housing costs and wealthier residents.Despite some resistance,the basic principles behind the15-minute city are influencing planning in cities around the world,including Melbourne,Barcelona,Buenos Aires,Singapore,and Shanghai.Urban designer and thinker Jay Pitter says cities where basic needs are within walking distance create more individual freedom than needing to drive every where."In a city where services are always close by,"he says,"mobility is a choice:You go where you want because you want to,not because you have to.My fight is not against the car.My fight is how we could improve the quality of life."8.Which best describes the15-minute city?A.Modern.B.ConvenientC.Entertaining.D.Smart9.What's the original intention for Paris to advocate the15-minute city?A.To address climate issues.B.To beautify the city.C.To promote the bike industry.D.To help Hidalgo get re-elected10.What's some urban planners'worry about the15-minute city?A.It slows the city's expansionB.It represents a setback for societyC.It may widen the gap between neighborhoods,D.It can cause the specialization of neighborhoods11.What's Jay Pitter's attitude to the concept of15-minute city?A.Doubtful.B.FavorableC.Critical.D.UninterestedDThousands of years have passed since humans discovered silk,but scientists are still finding new uses for this remarkable material.Now researchers say it could help tackle a growing environmental and health concern:Micro-plasticsMicro-plastics that are now found worldwide are increasingly recognized as a serious pollution threat,and have been found in the bloodstream of animals and people.Some of these micro plastics are intentionally added to a variety of products to generally protect some specific active components from being degraded by exposure to air.For example,vitamins are often delivered in the form of micro capsules packed into a pill or capsule,and herbicides(除草剂)are similarly enveloped.But the materials used today for such micro-encapsulation are plastics that stay in the environment for a long time.To date,there has been no practical,economical alternative available that would biodegrade naturally.Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and chemical company BASF developed a silk-based biodegradable alternative to these capsulesSilk is recognized as safe for food or medical use,as it degrades naturally in the body The silk protein used in the new alternative material is widely available and inexpensive and the silk fibers can simply be dissolved(溶解),lead researcher Benedetto Marelli says.Besides,the processing is so simple and tun-able that the resulting material can be adapted to work on existing manufacturing equipment.Replacing non-biodegradable micro-capsules with silk might not work in every case,but given the current and future challenges related to food insecurity,agricultural production,and a changing climate,the silk-based material is of great importance.Products using silk-based micro-capsules are expected to be commercially available in a few years.And the researchers will next try encapsulating active components that could require a different manufacturing approach,such as those that must remain in liquid or gas forms.12.What can be inferred from paragraph2?A.Removing plastic pollution is a piece of cake.B.Micro-plastics can degrade quickly and naturally.C.Micro-plastics have become a severe pollution threat.D.Developing an alternative for micro-plastics is urgent;13.What's the major concern of researchers choosing silk as an alternative?A.It is economical.B.It is biodegradable.C.It is widely available.D.It is skin-friendly.14.What's the last paragraph mainly about concerning the silk-based material?A.Its promising future.B.Its marketing method.C.Its existing limitations.D.Its making approach.15.In which part of a magazine can the passage probably be found?A.Climate.B.Agriculture.C.Technology Advances.D.Health Guidelines.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。

2020届山东省泰安市新高考模拟英语试题一、阅读选择1.（1）How much is Mathematical Induction now?A About $ 16.93.B About $ 64. 63.C About S 67. 70.D About $ 84.63.（2）What do we know about the book written by Larry Cuban?A It focuses on technological reform in education.B It aims to improve pre-school education.C It helps with students’ mathematical ability.D It is based on various academic studies.（3）Which book is the most culture-specific?A Mathematical Induction.B The Flight of a Butterfly or the Path of a Bullet?.C The Fight for America's Schools.D The White Chalk of Days.2. I moved to the United States as a teenager. The adjustment to a new place was difficult. But there was major stress in my life at that time: I was the only member of my family who spoke English, meaning I had to step up when we dealt with a shop assistant, a waiter and so on. However, there was another universal language I loved to learn as a child: art.Although I connected myself with drawing and painting while in school, I mostly dismissed art as a path to a career. Since my dad always said "Think about the future", I did not think he would support the study of art once I went to college. But, to my surprise, it was my parents who suggested just that and urged me to apply to technical and liberal arts schools.I was admitted into industrial design. It's basically to design products and services. I could be doing something more technical or something more related to problem-solving. It was no easy task to do the course including metalworking, woodworking and model making. In one class I just drew cubes for an entire month, which led me to a question: "Wow! Do I really want to do this? "But I finally survived the course.Now I am a design strategist for Marshall Moya Design, a famous architecture and interiordesign company. I have experience in exhibit design, product design and website design, apart from which I enjoy developing public art in my free time.Throughout my career, I've picked up different things along the way. The best way to learn in my opinion is through working, therefore, get as many projects as you can. Industrial design kind of makes you an all-round person.（1）What was the author's biggest problem when first moving to America?A The adaption to a new environment.B Difficulty in learning a newlanguage. C Fathers disapproval of her studying art. D The burden of being a communicator.（2）What made the author choose to study art?A Her deep love for art.B The suggestion of her family.C Her potential in design.D The need of a good job.（3）Why was the author's experience of drawing cubes mentioned?A To emphasize her effort at study.B To express the regret at her choice.C To prove the course was difficult.D To show the basic content of the course.（4）How did the author feel when she mentioned her career?A Surprised.B Stressed.C Eager.D Proud.3.While many countries love their tea, UK citizens are particularly proud of being "tea people". The average UK citizen consumes nearly 2 kilograms of tea each year.Tea only made its way to England in large quantities in the first years of the 17th century. Tea from China and a few other Asian countries was being sold more widely in England at that time. Then tea was getting more and more popular among different social classes.There are many varieties of tea. Black tea mixtures are still the most common type drunk in the UK. Black tea is dark in colour, because the leaves have been allowed to oxidize (氧化) before drying. This is why we usually serve it with milk, although it is not uncommon to drink it black or with lemon. You may still find tea made with loose tea leaves, served up in a pot, and poured into the best china cups with saucers (茶托) for visitors.Tea is still a large part of daily life in the UK today, but it seems to be on the decrease. The amount of tea sold in the UK fell by more than 10% in the five years leading up to 2002, and has been dropping ever since. Tea sales fell by 6% in 2014 alone, and most restaurants report selling more than twice as many cups of coffee as they do tea. More than ￡1 billion was spent on coffee in high street stores in 2013, more than twice what was spent on tea bags.Still, what goes around comes around; it's sure to become fashionable again.（1）Which of the following is true according to the first three paragraphs?A Tea made its way to England in the early years of the 16th century.B The UK usually serves black tea with lemon.C Tea from China was being sold more widely in England now.D UK citizens take pride in being "tea people".（2）What can we infer from the fourth paragraph?A Tea sales fell by 6% in 2014 alone.B Since 2002, the sales of tea has been on the decrease.C In 2013, the money spent on tea was ￡3 billion.D Most restaurant like selling tea than coffee.（3）What does the underlined sentence mean in the last paragraph?A It can never succeed again.B The tea can become popular again.C Coffee is more popular than tea.D The tea is becoming less popular.（4）What is the author's purpose in writing the text?A To introduce tea in the UK.B To show the author's preference for tea.C To introduce the functions of tea.D To compare tea in China and UK.二、七选五4.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。

2024届山东省实验中学高三下学期高考模拟英语试题
2024届山东省实验中学高三下学期高考模拟英语试题一、阅读理解According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), hundreds of marine (海洋的) species across the world come under endangered and critically endangered categories. Some of the endangered and recognizable marine species are named here.Kemp’s Ridley Sea TurtleThe Kemp’s Ridley Sea Turtle, also known as the Atlantic Ridley Sea Turtle, is endangered as the rarest and smallest sea turtle.Distributed throughout the Gulf of Mexico and U.S. Atlantic seaboard, they gather off the coast in northeastern Mexico and come ashore in large groups to lay eggs every year. As marine reptiles (爬行动物), they are threatened by oil spills, lack of food and marine pollution.VaquitaAs a rare marine mammal, Vaquita is on the edge of extinction only a half-century after its first sighting.Extensive fishing in the Gulf of California has endangered this marine species, resulting in a gradual drop in population since the 1940s. According to reports, there are only a dozen of these marine mammals left in the world since the percentage of decline in their population was as much as 90% since 2011.WhaleFin Whale is the second-largest mammal on the planet after Blue Whale and it is also a victim of hunting. According to estimates, the global population of Fin Whale ranges from below 100,000 to around 119,000.Humpback Whale, another whale species, has also been listed as an endangered marine species. Before the introduction of the whaling moratorium (暂停) in 1966, the species was hunted for its fur, while the population dropped by 90%. Currently, around 2,500 Humpback Whales survive in the world.Hawaiian Monk SealA native of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, Hawaiian Monk Seal is one of the earless seals who live on warm beaches, unlike other seals.According to recent research, only 1,400 Hawaiian Monk Seals remain on the Islands. These seals are mainly threatened by predators like tiger sharks. Besides, other reasons like habitat loss and food limitation also contribute to their critical situation.1．Why do Kemp’s Ridley Sea Turtles land on the beach in large groups?A．To nest.B．To reproduce.C．To avoid attack.D．To hunt foods.2．What is the major threat to Hawaiian Monk Seal?A．Global warming.B．Lack of food.C．Natural enemies.D．Habitat pollution.3．Which of the following is the most critically endangered species?A．Vaquita.B．Fin Whale.C．Humpback Whale.D．Hawaiian Monk Seal.Deforestation——by clear-cutting or wildfires——has massive consequences both on climate and health. But leaving reforestation to Mother Nature can take decades, particularly as disastrous wildfires are increasing in frequency and intensity. And the time, cost and labour involved makes traditional methods of tree planting not as practical as they once were.Bryce Jones knows how hard it is to replant forests. For four months in 2013, he worked as a tree planter throughout Canada. “There’s no technology there,” he says. “The only way you can automate reforestation is through the air.” But it wasn’t until 2019 that he hit on the one that he thought had potential: use drones (无人机) to fire specially designed seed pods (荚) into the ground—at 10 times the normal rate and costing 20-percent less than traditional methods. He proposed the idea to his brother and Flash Forest was born. His first goal was to plant a billion trees by 2025.The team took out a loan, bought a drone and used 3D printers at Jones’s school to make casts of the pods. Now, only two and a half years later, the company has a group of drones with each able to carry several thousand pods per flight. Three operators work in a field, controlling five drones, whose flights take 15 to 20minutes. Flash Forest’s big draw is its seed pod, which contains everything seedlings (幼苗) need to promote survival. And its technology allows them to reach post-burn sites or remote areas that are difficult for traditional tree planting.There are challenges every day, Jones says, as they work to improve the engineering, hardware, software and seed-po d recipes. Then there are the challenges presented by the climate——this year, record temperatures,record wildfires and drought. “That was something that was totally out of our control,” he says.Unlike some traditional forms of reforestation, Flash Forest is focused on biodiversity. For Jones, the target of planting a billion trees by 2025 is just the beginning. “I have a dream that the company will plant on six continents——everywhere where our technology is needed,” he says.4．What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 1?A．The benefits of reforestation.B．The power of Mother Nature.C．The way of putting out wildfires.D．The urgency to seek a planting way.5．What are the features of Jones’ technology?A．Efficient and cost-saving.B．Innovative and back-breaking.C．Pricey and ground-breaking.D．Challenging and time-consuming.6．What contributes to the particular appeal of Flash Forest?A．Its drone operators.B．The frequent flights.C．Its seed pod.D．The low cost of seedlings.7．What can we infer about Flash Forest from the last paragraph?A．It changed its focus in the past.B．It will achieve its final target in 2025.C．It might be available worldwide one day.D．It has replaced traditional forms of reforestation.Ariel Procaccia has thought a lot about how to cut a cake over the last 15 years. As the father of three children, he knows how hard it is to divide a birthday cake to everyone’s satisfaction. But it’s also because Procaccia’s work focuses on exploring the mathematical rules for dividing stuff up fairly. One way to do that is to think abstractly about dessert.For decades, researchers have been asking the seemingly simple question of how to cut a cake fairly. The answer reaches far beyond birthday parties. A mathematical problem at its heart, cake cutting connects strict reasoning to real-world issues of fairness, and so attracts not only mathematicians, but also social scientists, economists and more. “It’s a very elegant model in which you can distill what fairness really is, and reason about it,” Procaccia says.The simplest approach is called the “divider-chooser” method, where one person cuts the cake into two equal pieces in his view, and the other person picks first. Each receives a piece that they feel is as valuable as the other’s. But when personal preferences are taken into account, even the easiest rule becomes complicated. Suppose Alice and Bob are to divide a cake, and Alice knows Bob prefers chocolate, she may knowingly divide the cake unequally so the smaller piece contains more chocolate. Then Bob will choose according to his preference, and Alice will get the larger piece. Both of them are satisfied with what they get, but the meaning of fairness changes in this situation.The cake is a symbol for any divisible good. When cake-cutting principles are employed to settle disagreements, they are potentially helping the world find solutions. Procaccia has used fair division algorithms (算法) to model food distribution. Social scientist Haris Aziz is exploring situations ranging from how to divide up daily tasks to how to best schedule doctors’ shifts in hospitals.Even after decades of investigation, cake cutting isn’t like a simple jigsaw puzzle (拼图) with a well-definedsolution. Instead, over time, it has evolved into a kind of mathematical sandbox, a constructive playground that brings together abstract proofs and easy applications. The more researchers explore it, the more there is to explore. 8．What does the underlined word “distill” in paragraph 2 mean?A．Get the essence of.B．Find the opposite of.C．Keep the focus on.D．Reduce the impact on.9．What can we learn about fairness from the example given in paragraph 3?A．Its standard is stable.B．It prevents unequal division.C．Its concept is complex.D．It dominates personal preferences.10．What is paragraph 4 mainly about concerning cake cutting?A．The application of its rules.B．The details of its process.C．The problems it produces.D．The harmony it symbolizes.11．What is the best title for the text?A．Who benefits most from fairness?B．How has fairness changed over time?C．What method works best in cake-cutting?D．Why are researchers so interested in cake-cutting?Amblyopia is the most common cause of vision loss in children. In all cases of amblyopia, there’s a stronger eye and a weaker eye, and it’s winner-take-all in the cortex (大脑皮层). The cortex learns to ignore the signal from the weaker eye. By ignoring the weaker eye, the brain doesn’t fuse (融合) images from both eyes. As a result, people with amblyopia can have trouble seeing in 3D．In an attempt to solve this problem, doctors start treating patients with amblyopia at a young age, while their brain pathways are still developing. The children, usually under 7 years old, are often told to wear an eye patch over their strong eye to force the brain to rely on the weaker. But whenever the eye patch is removed, the competition can start over. For lasting improvement, new treatments need to teach the brain to stop suppressing (抑制) key visual cues coming from the weaker eye, says neuroscientist Dennis Levi of the University of California.Now, several research teams are taking a new way that aims to get the brain to make better use of the information coming from both eyes, Several companies are working on treatments based on this new angle. One is called Luminopia.Luminopia’s therapy involves having children watch videos through a virtual reality headset. As the childrenwatch, the headset blocks out certain parts of the display for each eye, so the patients actually have to combine input from the two images to get the full video.The company conducted a trial showing that children with amblyopia begin to see better on eye chart assessments after three months of one-hour sessions done six days a week, But they have yet to measure improvements in long-term effectiveness. It is believed that if people with amblyopia don’t learn to fuse signals from both eyes from a young age, they never will. So some scientists think attempting to treat adults, whose brains have suppressed signals from their weak eye for decades, is a lost cause.12．Why does a person with amblyopia have trouble seeing in 3D?A．His brain is unable to receive images.B．His cortex overlooks signals from the weaker eye.C．His stronger eye can’t send signals to the brain.D．His weaker eye fails to receive signals.13．Which of the following best describes the effect of an eye patch?A．Ineffective.B．Temporary.C．Wonderful.D．Comprehensive.14．What is the working principle of Luminopia’s therapy?A．Activating the weak eye to get the full video.B．Forcing the brain to rely on the weaker eye.C．Improving the situations with eye chart assessments.D．Blocking out the images received from the stronger eye.15．What can we learn about Luminopia’s therapy from the last paragraph?A．It has an instant effect.B．Adults are is main targets.C．More trials need to be conducted.D．It has long-term effectiveness.Ask anyone how they’re feeling these days and chances are that they’ll reply with some version of “exhausted”. We’re tired of operating amid uncertainty. We’re tired of balancing childcare with work. 16 They direct our focus to the most readily available information to help us make decisions quickly without properly considering all the variables.The result is that we are wired to move toward things that make us feel good and away from things that make us feel uncomfortable. 17 They default (默认) to what feels “normal”. Those networks are so deep in ourthinking that when we’re traveling a new and challenging path, our wheels default back to the worn-in grooves (凹槽). So, how do we do hard things when our brains are constantly telling us to avoid effort?18 A 2016 study found that when people are upset, they’re less likely to try to do hard things. When they’re feeling upbeat, however, they’re more likely to take on the hard-but-essential tasks that ultimately make life better. One way we can get ourselves in the right mindset is to do what’s called “reappraisal”, in which we create a shift in our brains of how we perceive a task.Moreover, we must give our brains the right amount of autonomy. When we have a choice, our brains often want to programme something easy. 19 Put it into a work context: Do I want to experiment with a new project management tool that might make things easier for my team next week, or do I want to stick with the same sheet that a former employee established that none of us feel great about anyway?20 But by understanding what’s going on in your brain, you can work toward accomplishing hard things and manage your fears better.A．Tackle them when we’re in a good mood.B．Doing things like hard work can seem abnormal.C．Our brains label effort as bad because it’s hard work.D．We should be creative and open-minded when doing tasks.E．This is called mindset fault, the tendency to do right things.F．When we feel like this, our brains want to save mental energy.G．But we can reduce the response by challenging ourselves to be innovative.二、完形填空I’d been exploring the 40-hectare woods around our cottage my whole life and I knew the way well.

It all began with a simple game she programmed in her Los Angeles public school's Grade 2class. Today ,at18,the Grade 12 student's initial curiosity has evolved into a deep-seated desire to use technology to decode(解码)real-world problems.In 2021, she co-developed Megaphone, one of her first apps, to tackle unanswered post- class questions and poor communication about events and announcements. Her problem-solving ability kept building from there.When she took online CPR classes at the start of the pandemic, she figured it couldn't be just her who was struggling with the steps. So she created an app called CPR Buddy―a winner in the 2022 Apple Swift Challenge―which guides users through CPR using vibrations(震动) to regulate breath. After winning theaward, Angelina presented her work to Apple CEO Tim Cook, a highlight in her young career, but one she didn't lose her cool over. “There's no point putting people on a pedestal (神坛),”she says.The next year, Angelina built an app called Lilac, designed to assist nonEnglish-speaking single parents with resources for housing, job opportunities and translation support. She was inspired by her own experiences as a child of a single mother who immigrated to the US.When Angelina decided to pursue pilot training at the age of 16, she was struck by how difficult it was to find financial support, which encouraged her to create yet another app, Pilot Fast Track, which helps those longing to be pilots find scholarships for flight training.Looking to the future, besides applying to colleges with great labs, Angelina is exploring the field of aerospace cybersecurity and mechatronics―combining computer science, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering.“There's not enough optimism in the world," she says. “I have also been in situations in my life where I've lost a lot of hope. But in the end, it is a mindset, and there are ways in any situation you're in to make it somewhat better."4.What is Angelina's pursuit?A. To design games for kids.B. To stimulate teen's curiosity.C. To address problems through technology.D. To find innovative approaches to digital challenges.5.What can we learn about Angelina from Paragraph 3?A. She couldn't breathe regularly.B. She was inspired by celebrities.C. She replaced CPR with an app.D. She was humble about her success.6.What was the primary goal of developing Pilot Fast Track?A. To direct pilots' career paths.B. To help to-be pilots find funds.C. To pair future pilots with airlines.D. To evaluate pilot training schools.7. What might be the best title?A. Breaking the codeB. Bearing growing painsC. Facing life as it isD. Following role modelsCSome people today might be early risers because of DNA they take after Neanderthals tens of thousands of years ago, suggests new research.When early humans migrated from Africa to Eurasia roughly 70,000 years ago, some of them mated with Neanderthals, who had already adapted to the colder, darker climates of the north. The ripple(涟漪) effects of that intermating still exist today: Modern humans of non- African ancestry(血统)have between 1 and 4 percent Neanderthal DNA. Some of that DNA relates to sleep more specifically, the internal body clock known as the circadian rhythm.For the new study, researchers compared DNA from today's humans and DNA from Neanderthal fossils(化石).In both groups, they found some of the same genetic variants involved with the circadian rhythm. And they found that modern humans who carry these variants also reported being early risers.For Neanderthals, being “morning people” might not have been the real benefit of carrying these genes. Instead, scientists suggest, Neanderthals’ DNA gave them faster, more flexible internal body clocks, which allowed them to adjust more easily to annual changes in daylight. This connection makes sense in the context of human history. When early humans moved north out of Africa, they would have experienced variable daylight hours--shorter days in the winter and longer days in the summer-for the first time. The Neanderthals' circadian rhythm genes likely helped early humans' offspring(后代)adapt to this new environment.Notably ,the findings do not prove that Neanderthal genes are responsible for the sleep habits of all early risers. Lots of different factors beyond genetics can contribute , including social and environmental influences. The study also only included DNA from a database called the U.K. Biobank-so the findings may not necessarily apply to all modern humans. Next, the research team hopes to study other genetic databases to see if the same link holds true for people of other ancestries. If the findings do apply more broadly , they may one day be useful for improving sleep in the modern world, where circadian rhythms are disturbed by night shifts and glowing smartphones.8.What does the new research focus on?A. DNA's dramatic changes.B. Genes’ influence on early risers.C. Neanderthals’ sleeping patterns.D. Ancestors’ environmental adaptability.9.What is paragraph 2 intended to show concerning the new research?A. Historical context.B. Additional proof.C. Sample analysis.D. Studying process.10. What is the real benefit of carrying Neanderthal's DNA for modern humans?A .Getting up earlier. B. Having healthier daily routines.C. Being more flexible in their work.D. Possessing a better circadian rhythm.11. What can be inferred about the findings from the last paragraph?A. They get proof from other studies.B. They are confirmed by early risers.C. They suggest potential applications.D. They reveal factors in sleeping disorders.DI had to say something after reading The Anxious Generation. It is going to sell well , because Jonathan Haidt is telling a scary story about children's development many parents are led to believe. However, the book's repeated suggestion that digital technologies are rewiring our children's brains and causing the epidemic (流行病)of mental illness is unsupported by science. Worse , the rude proposal that social media is to blame might distract (分心)us from effectively responding to the real causes of the current mental-health crisis in young people.Researchers have searched for the effects suggested by Haidt. Our efforts have produced a mix of no, small and mixed associations. Most data are correlative. When associations over time are found, they suggest not that social-media use predicts or causes depression, but that young people who already have mental-health problems use such platforms more often or in different ways from their healthy peers.We are not alone here. Several analyses and systematic reviews centralize on the same message. An analysis done in 72 countries shows no consistent or measurable associations between well-being and social media globally. Moreover, studies from some authorities finds no evidence of intense changes associated with digital-technology use.As a psychologist studying children's and adolescents’ mental health, I appreciate parents’frustration(沮丧)and desire for simple answers. As a parent of adolescents, I would also like to identify a simple source for the pain this generation is reporting. There are, however, no simple answers. The beginning and development of mental disorders are driven by a complex set of genetic and environmental factors.More young people are talking openly about their mental-health struggles than ever before. But insufficient services are available to address their needs. In the United States, there is, on average, one school psychologist for every 1,119 students. We have a generation in crisis and in desperate need of the best of what science and evidence-based solutions can offer. Unfortunately, our time is being spent telling stories that are unsupported by research and that do little to support young people who need, and deserve, more.12.What is presented in The Anxious Generation?A. Scary stories affect children's brains.B. Parents are responsible for children's health.C. Teen's mental illness results from screen time.D. The epidemic of mental illness is unavoidable.13.What does “the same message ”underlined in paragraph 3 refer to?A. Many countries do research in mental health.B. Well-being and social media are closely related.C. The young are trapped in the mental-health crisis,D. Social media don't necessarily cause mental illness.14. What is implied in the last paragraph?A. Effective actions need to be taken.B. Positive stories should be shared.C. Financial support needs to be provided.D. Broader research should be done.15.What is the author's purpose in writing the text?A. To suggest ways to help those in need.B. To encourage parents to brave the crisis.C. To recommend a newly-published book.D. To give a voice to children's mental issues.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。

AMany small American towns are known for their beautiful scenery,but very few have something special to offer. The following are known for their unique styles.Scottshoro,AlabamaThis attractive town is known as“The Lost Luggage Capital of the World”thanks to the unclaimed luggage center,where lost items such as snow skis,instruments and engagement rings are for sale. In addition to the store,which has become one of Alabama's top tourist and shopping attractions,the city's parks and heritage centers are popular places to visit.Hope,KansasHope is a city in southern Dickinson County,Kansas,with a population of 317.It's the home of Klipsch Museum of Audio History,President William Jefferson Clinton's birthplace and several antique shops. Hope's motto,which is also the name of the town's song,is“There will always be‘Hope’in Kansas”.Branson,MissouriAlthough its population is just over 10,000,Branson hosts over 9 million visitors each year. When the best-selling novel,The Shepherd of the Hills,written by Harold Bell Wright,was released in 1907,readers rushed to the Ozark hills to experience its famous views. Now tourists also get to visit the World's Largest Toy Museum,the world's largest Titanic Museum Attraction and the record-breaking theme park,Silver Dollar City. Leavenworth,WashingtonLeavenworth is a European-inspired destination, offering a collection of outdoor activities all year long. It welcomes almost 2million tourists each year and is home to the Nutcracker（胡桃夹子）Museum，which has more than 7，000 nutcrackers from around the world. Many of its visitors travel to the village in December during its annual holiday festival to see it light up with more than one million Christmas lights.1.Why is Scottsboro called“The Lost Luggage Capital of the World”？A.It sells unclaimed lost items.B.It has fancy heritage centers.C.It features amusing city parks.D.It offers top shopping attractions.2.What can visitors do in Branson，Missouri？A.Take part in festivals.B.Shop at antique shops.C.Visit theme museums.D. Watch light shows.3.Which of the following might be the most attractive to outdoor fans？A.Hope,Kansas.B.Branson,Missouri.C.Scottsboro,Alabama.D.Leavenworth,Washington.BAs the world has changed,so has education. Since 2018,Nelly Cheboi and her non-profit TechLit Africa have been bringing computer technology into schools in Kenya, helping students join the digital world, and unlock their potential. With its own software programs,curriculum（课程）and teacher training programs，this non-profit hopes to change Africa.In 2012,Cheboi received a scholarship to College in Illinois that changed her life. She grew up in poverty in rural Kenya, watching her mother struggle to support her family alone. Cheboi had no experience with computers before moving to the US to study. She hand wrote papers and then struggled to type them out on a laptop computer. Somehow she fell in love with computer science and began a career in the field.But she did not lose sight of her origins.“As an undergraduate,I invested all of my income from various campus jobs into my community back in Kenya,”she said on the TechLit Africa website.But soon she wanted to do more for it and that is how TechLit Africa began.Cheboi recalled how her background helped her understand how important technological knowledge could be for children living in poverty. She built a school with the idea of bringing computer science as part of kids' curriculum growing up. But she found that it was going to be really hard to impact as many people as possible,because it was so hard to fund raise. Then in order to reach more students,she introduced computer training to existing schools. Cheboi physically dragged over 40 recycled computers that had been donated to them by various tech companies to Kenya in suitcases.Now,since the non-profit has grown,it works with various companies that help them clean the donated computers of data and send them to Africa. TechLit Africa runs its own curriculum with its own software programs in 10 Kenyan schools,and the hope is to increase to 100 throughout Africa by next year. The students love learning about computers,and in turn are gaining skills that will help them make use of their talents into a way out of poverty.4. What has Cheboi been doing since 2018?A. Boosting her science careerB.Promoting digital education.C.Starting a scholarship program.D. Updating the computer courses.5. What inspired Cheboi to set up TechLit Africa？A. Her love for computer scienceB. Her desire to help her hometown.C. Her dream of supporting her family.D. Her childhood experience in the US.6.What do we know about Cheboi from Paragraph 3？A.She hopes to help more kids.B. She plans to build new schools.C. She seeks to develop new courses.D.She calls for donations of computers.7.Which of the following can best describe Cheboi？A.Sensitive.B.Devoted.C. Considerate.D. Cooperative.CA Purdue University invention could save millions of taxpayer dollars and significantly reduce traffic delays. The new invention,a sensor that allows concrete to“talk”,decreases construction time and how often concrete pavement（路面）needs repairs while also improving the road's sustainability and cutting its carbon footprint.Fixed directly into a concrete pour the sensor sends engineers more precise and consistent data about the concrete's strength and need for repairs than is possible with currently used tools and methods.“Traffic jams caused by repairs have wasted 4 billion hours and 3 billion gallons of gas, on a yearly basis. This is mainly due to insufficient knowledge and understanding of concrete's strength levels,”said Luna Lu,who has been leading development of the sensor since 2017.“For instance,we don't know when concrete will reach the right strength needed to accommodate traffic loads just after construction. The concrete may be put into use too early,leading to frequent repairing,”she added.With the technology Lu and her team invented,engineers can directly monitor the fresh concrete and accurately measure many of its properties at once. The sensor notifies engineers via a smartphone app exactly when the pavement is strong enough to handle heavy traffic. The stronger the pavement is before being used by vehicles, the less often it will need to be repaired. By decreasing road repairs and construction timelines, this technology could reduce carbon dioxide that vehicles would have given off while waiting in traffic to get around a construction site.Methods that the industry has used for more than a century call for testing large samples of concrete at a lab or onsite facility.Even though these tests' are well understood by the industry, differences between lab and outdoor conditions can lead to inaccurate estimates of the concrete's strength due to the different concrete compositions and temperatures of the surrounding area.8. What can be learned about the new invention？A.It decreases accidents.B.It is costly to produce.C.It reduces road repairs.D. It is difficult to operate.9. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about？A. Waste caused by road repairs.B. Characteristics of the concrete.C. Situations of road constructions.D. Necessity of inventing the sensor.10.What does the underlined word"notifies"inParagraph'3mean?A.signals.B.Awakes.C.Monitor.D.Examines.11.What is the problem with the previous tests？A. Samples must be tested on the spot.B. The results turn out to be unreliable.C.Fewer properties have been measured.D. Concrete is tested in certain temperature.DA study from the University of Montreal and the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, published in Frontiers in Medicine,found that regular virtual visits to museums could help seniors stay mentally active and come with a host of additional health benefits. That's because these digital connections can make retirees feel less lonely and isolated（孤立的）.Social isolation has been associated with the risks for heart disease and the decline of recognition abilities in seniors and the pandemic（疫情）increased the risks due to the need for seniors to stay home and isolate,according to a press release from the university.The researchers investigated the potential benefits of weekly virtual visits for a three-month period. The participants were people aged 65 and older who lived in Montreal. Half of the participants took part in online visits and a discussion afterwards,while the control group did not participate in any.cultural events at all. The group who participated in the virtual visits showed improvements in their quality of life.“Our study showed that art-based activities may be an effective intervention,”lead author Dr. Olivier Beauchet,a professor at the University of Montreal,said in the press release.“On a global scale,this participatory art-based activity could become a model that could be offered in museums and arts institutions worldwide to promote active and healthy aging.”The initiative reflects approaches recommended by the World Health Organization to manage certain diseases,according to Beauchet. For instance,the WHO launched the Aging and Health Program in 2015 that included using community-based organizations to promote culture as a key component of improving health. Traditionally, these sorts of preventive health activities have taken place in schools, community centers,and workplaces.“While these are suitable locations that reach a great number of people,there are additional organizations and sectors that could become partners in public health research and practice development,”Beauchet said.“Museums are among such potential partners. They are aware of the needs of their communities and are consequently expanding the types of activities they offer.”12.How do seniors benefit from regular virtual visits to museums？A.They get survival skills.B.They raise interest in art.C.They improve quality of life.D.They connect more with family.13. What can be inferred from Beauchet's words in Paragraph 3？A.Participants come from the whole world.B.The museum needs better cultural events.C. Face-to-face discussion is a useful intervention.D. Seniors should attend more art-based activities.14. What is the purpose of the last paragraph？A.To advocate.B.To entertain.C.To advertise.D.To warn.15. Which may be a suitable title for the text？A.The Aged Form a Community to Reduce LonelinessB.Virtual Art-based Activities Bring People TogetherC.Online Museum Trips Improve Seniors' Well beingD.Retired Individuals Pay More Visits to Museums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能填人空白处的最佳选项。

More people have decided to travel to Kuala Lumpur to witness the incredible development of Western Malaysia.However, having a passion for experiencing multicultural and peaceful lifestyles, I chose another route – Sabah, the second largest state in Malaysia. I took a trip there in August. With a knowledgeable guide and warm-hearted locals, it turned out to be an unforgettable experience.Although Sabah is not that rich or prosperous like Western Malaysia, I prefer the easy and simple life there. Its social ethos (精神气质) is more harmonious than any other scenic spot.During my five-day stay, I think the Mangrove Forest was the most impressive destination. Have you ever imagined what it might be like to boat through a pleasant breeze while drops of light blur (模糊) your vision? My mind drifted away with the warmth of the sunlight. I lost myself in the peaceful and relaxing surroundings, and fell into a splendid dream world.However, as a former British colony, it still holds some customs that are difficult for me to get used to. For me, the various dialects and unique expressions among the locals were the biggest issues to deal with. Regardless of this, it taught me a lot. My time at Sabah was very memorable. 24.

To learn different foreign languages.25.Which word can best describe the journey to Sabah?A. Astonishing.B. Regretful.C. Exhausting.D. Fascinating.26.What was the biggest problem the author had during his trip?A. Old customs.B. Local language.C. Confusing routes.D. Multicultural lifestyles.27.What’s the purpose of the text?A.To promote tourism of Sabah.B.To introduce a scenic spot—Sabah.C.To describe the development of Sabah.D.To share the touring experience in Sabah.CSince 1970, North America has lost more than 2.9 billion birds, according to a study recently published in the journal Science. In less than half a century, the bird population has declined by some 29 percent, or more than 1 in 4 birds. For the first time, researchers have discovered that rare species aren’t the only birds suffering population loss. In fact, common birds — including beloved backyard friends like sparrows and blackbirds — are taking the biggest hit.The new study used nearly 50 years of data collected largely by bird watchers and citizen scientists. “A total of 419 native migratory species experienced a net loss of 2.5 billion individuals,” the study says. More than 90 percent of the total loss can be found among just 12 bird families. Some of these widespread birds can thrive almost anywhere. The large-scale loss of these hardy birds reveals they’re struggling to survive throughout the world.Birds are considered indicator species because they’re crucial to ecosystems, and their populations anticipate the environment’s health. Birds are “amazingly efficient” at spreading seeds. Birds also keep insect populations in check. Even the smallest bird helps control the spread of plants or insects.The new study, however, identifies the losses without knowing all the causes. Scientists do identify habitat loss as the biggest challenge. Climate change, disrupted migration patterns andpesticide use are also major factors. Industrial agriculture may present a bigger challenge. The species disappearing most rapidly —sparrows, blackbirds and larks —are associated with agriculture. In recent decades, agriculture has grown to produce more food, but cleared landscapes have become unlivable for birds.“We need to change the way we grow food. Birds are signaling that we are doing it wrong,” as the study says. The study offers the example of the 1990s effort to switch to no-till farming, which reduced greenhouse gases and soil erosion（侵蚀）. “Farmers are innovators. And they’ve done it before. This is a great opportunity to have a huge impact on birds.”28. What’s the study mainly about?A. The climate issues.B. The disappearing birds.C. The agricultural problems.D. The environmental protection.29. How is the second paragraph mainly developed?A. By listing figures.B. By giving examples.C. By analyzing reasons.D. By making comparisons.30. What’s the main reason behind the birds’ habitat loss?A. Climate change.B. Greenhouse gases.C. Industrial agriculture.D. Disrupted migration patterns.31. What does the study suggest as a solution?A. Producing more food.B. Clearing more landscapes.C. Developing no-till farming.D. Reducing the use of pesticide.DKids who like noodles are in luck in Italy. School lunch almost always begins with a “primo” of pasta — think penne (意大利面食) with tomatoes and cheese. That’s typically followed by a protein-packed main dish, such as roasted chicken, accompanied by a veggie side. Finally, there’s dessert, usually fruit. But what if kids would rather eat a homemade sandwich?That question became the basis of the “Sandwich Case.” This is a legal fight started by a group of parents who had gotten fed up with the price and quality of school meals. Italy’s top court settled the matter: Families do not have the right to send food to school. The main problem the judges have with lunchboxes is that they can create divisions.Each nation has its own take on how to handle the meaty issue of feeding students. In Australia, for example, many schools don’t have a cafeteria. And, o f course, packing a school lunch to take to school is as American as apple pie. However, more American kids would be better off with school lunch for their parents think cafeteria meals are healthier than what an average parent packs.Students in low-income families qualify for free or reduced-price meals. So there can be a stigma around who's participating, meaning kids without a lunchbox can feel singled out for being poor. One way to avoid that problem is providing meals to everyone for free. In Sweden, where students chow down on a hot main dish and their pick of vegetables from a salad bar, no one needs lunch money.The country with a system most similar to Italy’s is its neighbor, France, where kids are expected to eat their school’s multi-course mea ls, with almost no exceptions. “It’s for a healthy diet, but also for cultural aspects and pleasure,” says Florent Vieux, general director of the French research group MS Nutrition. “When my doesn’t want carrots for the starter, he doesn’t eat. At the begi nning it’s difficult,” he says. “Then day after day, he eats more carrots because he knows he has no other choice.”32.Why did Italy’s top court reject the parents’ appeal?A.
