A．Her consistent ambition．B．Her husband’s help．C．A sense of fun．D．A full social life．26．What does Theresa have in common with Thatcher?A．They received the degree in geography.B．They didn’t become politicians upon graduation．C．They spent their childhood in the countryside．D．They got to know their husbands in university．27．What do we know about Theresa May?A．She was a successful Home Secretary．B．She was popular with her classmates．C．She was serious when she was young．D．She majored in politics in university．CIt may sound strange，but scientists are celebrating the survival and spread of tens of thousands of mosquitoes they released in Northeastern Australia．The whole thing makes more sense when you know that these mosquitoes are not just any ordinary bloodsuckers．They are infected with a type of bacteria that prevents the spread mosquito—borne viruses．The bacterium，called Wolbachia，is present naturally in nearly two-thirds of all insect species，although it’s not usually found in Aedes aegypti(埃及伊蚊)，the mosquitos responsible for spreading viruses like Zika，dengue，and yellow fever.But when researchers introduced Wolbachia into mosquitoes in the lab a decade ago，the bacteria destroyed the mosquitoes，making them unable to spread their viruses into humans，which gives public health experts hope that by releasing big group of Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes into problem areas，they will spread Wolbachia to the local populations—making them unable to spread viral diseases to people．But a big question was ，will the Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes remain where they are 1et loose or will they move enough to mix with the wild ones ?So researchers in Australia ran a test．In 2013，they released some 35，000 Wolbachia—carrying Aedes aegypti at one site，131，000 at a second site，and 286，000 at a third site，all in the city ofCaims．And they tracked the insects’distribution．Seems the infected mosquitoes spread outward from the two larger introduction areas at a slow but steady rate of about 100 to 200 meters per year．The mosquitoes in the smaller group remained where they were．The results indicate that Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes could be effective against viral diseases，if they’re applied over larger areas．In the public health community，that finding may cause real excitement．28．What is a big challenge for the researchers?A．They can’t raise enough Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes in the lab．B．They can’t stop the Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes from being killed．C．They can’t track the Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes once they are released．D．They can’t control the orbit of the Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes in problem areas．29．What does the underlined word“them”in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．Humans．B．Areas．C．Mosquitoes．D．Viruses．30．What can we infer from the text?A．Wolbachia is certain to prevent viral diseases．B．Most mosquitoes spread the virus of Zika．C．Great efforts have been made on the research．D．Mosquitoes with Wolbachia will not suck blood．31．What does the text mainly talk about?A．An introduction to the harm of mosquitoes．B．An experiment on ways to kill mosquitoes．C．An argument about whether to apply Wolbachia．D．A new method of defeating mosquito-borne viruses．DThe cook lays the piece of beef down the grill and gives it a press with a spatula(锅铲)．And there comes unmistakable sizzle(咝咝声)and smell．She turns over the beef and gives it another press，lets it sit，presses it，and pulls it off the grill and onto a small round bun．And now，here it is，a delicious hamburger．However，this is no diner，and this is no ordinary cook．She’s not wearing an apron，but a lab coat and safety glasses to protect her eyes，standing in a lab．Over the last six years the company called Impossible Trends has done something not quite impossible，but extremely beyond imagination：experimenting on a plant-based burger that smells，tastes，looks，and even feels like real beef．Biting into an Impossible Burger is to bite into a future in which human has to feed an exploding population but without further endangering the earth by raising more farm animals．Some scientists say this is definitely good news．For farm animals，cows in particular，consume unbelievable amounts of food and water(up to 40，000 liters a year per cow)and take upvast stretches of land．What makes a burger a burger? The smell，for one，and taste and texture(质感)，all working together to create something that feels“animal”．Now，developing a“beef”burger without any previous experience or knowledge requires a variety of different elements that mix together and have an effect on each other，transforming as the plant-based beef cooks．Trying a plant-based burger that’s indistinguishable from the real thing，you can even recreate as many of other flavors as possible．And most importantly you can do it all without using a cow!32．What is the good news according to the scientists?A．Human can eat more hamburgers in the future．B．People can tell the plant-based burgers from the real ones．C．Plant-based hamburgers are easier to make than the beef ones．D．Human can eat hamburgers without killing cows．33．What can be inferred from the text?A．More natural materials and land will be saved．B．There will be no cows on the farm in the future．C．More farm animals will be killed in the lab-kitchen．D．The plant-based burgers will be people’s best choice in the future．34．What does the author think of the Impossible Burger?A．Frightening．B．Promising．C．Ridiculous．D．Poisonous．35．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．An Unusual CookB．The Impossible TrendsC．The Impossible BurgerD．An Unusual Kitchen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。

One week.BMany of us love July because it's the month when nature's berries and stone fruits are in abundance. These colourful and sweet jewels from British Columbia's fields are little powerhouses of nutritional protection.Of the common berries, strawberries are highest in vitamin C, although, because of their seeds, raspberries contain a little more protein (蛋白质), iron and zinc (not that fruits have much protein). Blueberries are particularly high inantioxidants (抗氧化物质). The yellow and orange stone fruits such as peaches are high in the carotenoids we turn into vitamin A and which are antioxidants, As for cherries (樱花). they are so delicious who cares? However ,they are rich in vitamin C.When combined with berries or slices of other fruits. frozen bananas make an excellent base for thick, cooling fruit shakes and low fat “ice cream”. For this purpose, select ripe bananas for freezing as they are much sweeter. Remove the skin and place them in plastic bags or containers and freeze If you like, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on the bananas will prevent them turning brown. Frozen bananas will last several weeks, depending on their ripeness and the temperature of the freezer.If you have a juicer, you can simply feed in frozen bananas and some berries or sliced fruit. Out comes a“soft-serve”creamy dessert, to be eaten right away. This makes a fun activity for a children's party; they love feeding the fruit and frozen bananas into the top of the machine and watching the ice cream come out below.( ) 24. What does the author seem to like about cherries?A. They contain protein.B. They are high in vitamin A.C. They have a pleasant taste.D. They are rich in antioxidants.( ) 25. Why is fresh lemon juice used in freezing bananas？A. To make them smell better.B. To keep their colour.C. To speed up their ripeningD. To improve their nutrition.( ) 26. What is “a juicer”in the last paragraph?A. A dessert.B. A drink.C. A container.D. A machine.( ) 27. From which is the text probably taken?A. A biology textbook.B. A health magazine.C. A research paper.D. A travel brochure.CTeens and younger children are reading a lot less for fun, according to a Common Sense Media report published Monday.While the decline over the past decade is steep for teen readers, some data in the report shows that reading remains a big part of many children's lives, and indicates how parents might help encourage more reading.According to the report's key findings, “the proportion(比例) who say they‘hardly ever’read for fun has gone from 8 percent of 13-year-olds and 9 percent of 17-year-olds in 1984 to 22 percent and 27 percent respectively today.”The report data shows that pleasure reading levels for younger children. ages 2-8, remain largely the same. But the amount of time spent in reading each session has declined, from closer to an hour or more to closer to a half hour per session.When it comes to technology and reading, the report does little to counsel (建议) parents looking for data about the effect of e-readers and tablets on reading. It does point out that many parents still limit electronic reading, mainly due to concerns about increased screen time.The most hopeful data shared in the report shows clear evidence of parents serving as examples and important guides for their kids when it comes to reading, Data shows that kids and teens who do read frequently, compared to infrequent readers, have more books in the home, more books purchased for them, parents who read more often, and parents who set aside time for them to read.As the end of school approaches, and school vacation reading lists loom (逼近) ahead ,parents might take this chance to step in and make their own summer reading list and plan a family trip to the library or bookstore.( ) 28. What is the Common Sense Media report probably about?A. Children’s reading habits.B. Quality of children's books.C. Children’s after-class activities.D. parent-child relationships.( ) 29. Where can you find the data that best supports“children are reading a lot less for fun”?A. In paragraph 2.B. In paragraph 3.C. In paragraph 4D. In paragraph 5.( ) 30. Why do many parents limit electronic reading?A. E-books are of poor quality.B. It could be a waste of time.C. It may harm children’s health.D. E-readers are expensive.( ) 31. How should parents encourage their children to read more?A. Act as role models for themB. Ask them to write book reportsC. Set up reading groups for themD. Talk with their reading class teachersDWe've all been there: in a lift, in line at the bank or on an airplane, surrounded by people who are, like us, deeply focused on their smart-phones or, worse, struggling with the uncomfortable silence.What's the problem? It's possible that we all have compromised conversational intelligence. It's more likely that none of us start a conversation because it’s awkward and challenging, or we think it's annoying and unnecessary. But the next time you find yourself among strangers, consider that small talk is worth the trouble .Experts say it's an invaluable social practice that results in big benefits.Dismissing small talk as unimportant is easy, but we can't forget that deep relationships wouldn't even exist if it weren't for casual conversation. Small talk is the grease (润滑剂) for social communication, says Bernardo Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast ."Almost every great love story and each big business deal begins with small talk, "he explains. "The key to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others, not just communicate with them.”In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, associate professor of psychology at UBC, invited people on their way into a coffee shop. One group was asked to seek out an interaction(互动) with its waiter, the other, to speak only when necessary. The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported significantly higher positive feelings and a better coffee shop experience. "it's not that talking to the waiter is better than talking to your husband.”says Dunn ."But interactions with peripheral (边缘的) members of our social network matter for our well-being also.”Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel a significantly greater sense of belonging, a bond with others. Carducci believes developing such a sense of belonging starts with small talk. "Small talk is the basis of good manners, ”he says.( ) 32. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?A.
