第一部分：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）A“All animal products contain much more concentrated levels of pesticides residue (杀虫剂残留) than either vegetables or grains. Red meat, chicken and fish contain no beneficial carbonhydrates (碳水化合物), fiber...“Fish contain far more heavy metals and industrial pollutants than land animals...“There is a common misconception that vegetarian s have limited food choices. Just the opposite is true. Vegetarians commonly eat a wider variety of foods than most meat eaters.”―“Vegetarian FAQ”, North AmericanVegetarian Society “The more I got educated about cruel treatment, it really was a no-brainer to become a vegetarian. You know, no one would barbecue their family dog. You know, a pig or a chicken isn’t different. They are just as gentle as a dog or a cat...”—Public service announcement, Mike Ness“I’m not a vegetarian because I enjoy eating meat. Meat is nutritious food, and I believe there are ways to eat meat that are in keeping with my environmental and ethical (道德的) values. I don’t make the decision to eat meat lightly. Meat-eating has always been a messy business, shadowed by the shame of killing...“I have a sincere respect for veg etarians, for they have actually done the work of thinking through the consequences of their eating decisions, something most of the rest of us have not done. My own examination of those consequences has led meto the conclusion that eating a small amount of meat from certain kinds of farms is something I can feel good about.”―“Animal Welfare: FAQ & UsefulLinks”, Michael Pollan“The centerpiece of a truly healthy diet must be animal foods. That means a large part of meat, seafood, eggs or raw dairy at just about every meal. That is how one recovers from vegetarianism and builds lasting health and strength.”—“Recovering from Vegetarianism”,Ron Schmid1.Which of the following is mentioned in “Vegetarian FAQ”?A.Fish is better for human health than chicken.B.Vegetarians are much healthier than meat eaters.C.There are more kinds of plant foods than animal products.D.There is more pesticide in vegetables than in animal products.2.

Should people become vegetarians?BI was watching Family Feud a few years ago when they asked something like “What’s one thing you want your pilot to be?” And one of the answers was “A man.”Yes, I was upset, but that just inspired m e more. It’s rare enough to see women pilots —for the first two years of my flight training classes, I was the only female student —and even more unusual to see a pilot who’s a woman of color. Black women make up about 7 percent of the U.S. population, but less than 1 percent of pilots. And of course, most of them are a bit older than I am. I just graduated from high school in May.My mom is crazy about aviation (航空), so she always took me to air shows when I was younger. We’d watch the Thunderbirds or Blue Angles, and I’d get pilots’ autographs (亲笔签名). With her encouragement, I started taking lessons after I turned 12. Friends would ask me to hang out, and I’d say, “Sorry, I have a flight” —they’d look at me as if I had four h eads. But the air felt like where I was supposed to be.Flying is amazing for many reasons. You can see the beauty only from above and visit impressive places. But to me, one of the coolest things is being in charge of the plane and holding the controls. I plan to fly the big jets as an airline transport pilot, which means doing lots of ground training, banking 1,500 hours of flight time, and earning a bunch of certificates.On my first plane ride when I was 4, the flight attendants (乘务员) gave me a little pin with wings. We took a picture of me standing next to the captain. Who would have guessed that someday I’d be sitting in his seat?4. Why did the author feel upset after hearing the answer?A. It was too simple.B. It dealt with racial differences.C. It talked about pilots negatively.D. It was prejudiced against women.5. What does the author say about black women?A. They are uncommon sights in flight training classes.B. They make up 7 percent of the U.S. pilots.C. Most of them are high school graduates.D. Few of them are interested in aviation.6. What’s the author’s mom’s attitude to her becoming a pilot?A. Skeptical.B. Supportive.C. Unconcerned.D. Disapproving.7. What happened when the author was four years old?A. She sat in a cap tain’s seat.B. She had a hard plane ride.C. She was gifted a winged pin.D. She helped some flight attendants.CWhen you go to the doctor, you receive a diagnosis (诊断) and a treatment. However, with the continued use of technology in healthcare, the process of diagnosing and treating patients has been changing.Artificial Intelligence (AI) can help doctors analyze a patient’s symptoms and offer the best treatment. With new advancements in medical technology, it makes receiving medical care faster and more accurate. Technology companies provide the data analyzing tools that are necessary to analyze the efficiency (效率) of the healthcare system, which makes the care more efficient and improves the quality of care. Technology is also being used to help patients achieve their health goals as well as help patients when doctors are not present. Patients can rely on apps, trackers, and programs to remind them to have themselves checked, track their symptoms or call for help.In the United States, the creation of AI technology has done better than that of other countries. However, compared to some countries like Canada, the United States has failed in using AI in its healthcare system. The reality is that AI is not used in medical care because of the high costs and the insurance barriers. It is the private healthcare system that puts all the costs on consumers of healthcare.Undoubtedly, using more technology in healthcare can be better for the system. It can improve efficiency, limit errors, and cut down waiting time. But the high cost of creating this technology can make it difficult to provide service in every hospital and healthcare clinic in the United States. It also changes the practice of medicine, making it less personal and more about the technology. D octors wouldn’t have to rely on their own knowledge and skill but could turn to robots and computers for help or use better equipment to help them perform a procedure.As the medical field continues to change, so will the technology that is used in the medical field, making receiving medical care a highly computerized process that could improve the health of the population.8. What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. Recent studies in health technology.B. The future of personalized health care.C. New advancements in medical technology.D. The advantages of using AI in medical care.9. How can AI help patients?A. By feeding medicine to them.B. By recording their symptoms.C. By analyzing the efficiency of health care.D. By providing them with the best treatment.10. Why do Americans use less AI in medical care?A. They want to keep their treatment secret.B. Their health insurance is very expensive.C. Their AI technology is not advanced enough.D. They don’t think the new technology is secure.11. What is the author’s attitude towards the technology in medical care?A. Doubtful.B. Hopeful.C. Cautious.D. Uninterested.DAlong with my co-founder, I run Harry’s, a m e n’s grooming (美容) company. And my wife Lacey is a senior writer and editor at The Hollywood Reporter. Our careers are important to us. So we always agreed that when it came time to build our family, we wanted to co-parent. In theory, it sounded like a lot of fun.So far it has been. But as I’ve learned since the birth of my not theoretical daughter, Chloe, i t’s also really hard.To be clear, becoming a parent is much, much harder for my wife. But Lacey does have one thing that I’ve struggled to find: a space to talk about balancing work with parenthood. Due in part to the physical, mental, and emotional tolls (损伤)of pregnancy and childbirth, moms often find community in those shared experiences. In addition, there are blogs, books, and resources for mothers returning to work; for better or for worse, the demands of raising a baby are often assumed by women. But there are plenty of working dads out there, too. In fact, I feel if I’m struggling with this whole ‘working d ad’ thing, then other g uys must be struggling, too. If I’m craving a space to share experiences and normalize true co-parenthood, I have to believe I’m not the only one.Dealing with the problem at a macro (大的) level is hard. But I do have the power to make real change within Harry’s. My co-founder and I want to make sure that everyone on our team feels 100% supported, as employees and as parents. To that end, w e’re excited to offer a new, progressive policy: 16 weeks of paid parental leave, taken any time within the first year, to every person on our team.Some people might decide to take the full 4 months and others won’t. That’s OK. The goal is not to dictate right or wrong, but to offer our team real flexibility and control. Because all parents deserve the resources and tools to make the best decisions for their families; to be great coworkers, and also great parents.12. What is bothering the author?A. His wife is fully occupied.B. His daughter is troublesome.C. He is failing to balance work and life.D. He can find nowhere to seek child-raising advice.13. Which of the following would the author agree with?A. I t’s easier for a woman to be a parent.B. Kids benefit a lot from co-parenting.C. Women suffer a lot from parenthood.D. It’s women’s duty to take care of kids.14. What does the underlined word “craving” i n Paragraph 4 mean?A. Using.B. Desiring.C. Creating.D. Saving.15. What’s the aim of the new policy?A. To promote equality.B. To free working dads.C. To nurse great coworkers.D. To encourage true co-parenthood.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。
