Where do you probably find the passage?A．In a textbook B．In an outdoor program brochure.C．In a sportswear advertisement D．In a gym notice.When my daughter was ten, she and my husband Joe, were united in their desire for a dog. As for me, I shared none of their canine just, because I have no time to take care of a dog. “But we’ll do it.” “Really? You’re going to walk the dog? Feed the dog? Bathe the dog?” “Yes, we promise.”They didn’t. From day two (everyone wanted to walk the cute puppy that first day), neither thought to walk the dog. While I was slow to accept that I would be the one to keep track of her shots, to schedule her vet appointments, to feed and clean her, Misty knew this one day one.Quickly, we developed something of a Vulcan mind meld (心灵融合). She’d look at me with those sad brown eyes, beam her need, and then wait, trusting I would understand, which, strangely. I almost always did. She kept me company, snoring on my home-office couch as I worked, cradling against my feet as I read, and splaying across my stomach as I watched televisionEven so, I’d balk (畏缩，犹豫) silently as she and I walked. Not fair.One day my husband’s doctor uttered an unthinkable word: leukemic (白血病). I spent eight to ten hours a day with Joe in the hospital, doing anything and everything I could to ease his discomfort. Every part of my life changed; no part of my old routine remained.Save one: Misty still needed walking. At the beginning, when friends offered to take her through her paces, I declined because I knew they had their own households to deal with. As the months went by, I began to realize that I actually wanted to walk Misty. The morning walk before I headed to the hospital was a quiet, peaceful time to gather my thoughts before the day’s medical drama unfolded. The evening walk was a time to shake off the day’s upsets and let the worry tracks in my head go to white noise.After Joe died, Misty slept on his pillow.I’m grateful to a point. After years of balking. I’ve come to enjoy my walls with Misty. As I watch her chase a squirrel, throwing her whole being into the here-and-now of an exercise that has never once ended in victory, she reminded me, too, that no matter how harsh the present or unpredictable the future, there’s almost always some measure of joy to be extracted from the moment.41. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined part in Paragraph 1?A．I was afraid of dog B．I didn’t want to share anything with them C．I didn’t care their desire.D．I didn’t agree to raise a dog.42. What can we learn from Paragraphs 3 and 4?A．The author didn’t want to walk the dog because she didn’t like her.B．The dog was naughty and annoying.C．Although loving the dog, she was reluctant to walk her.D．She would rather stay at home with Misty than walk her.43. The story came to its turning point when ____________.A．Joe died B．the writer began to walk the dogC．Joe fell ill D．the dog tried to please the writer44. Why did the writer continue to walk Misty while Joe was in hospital?A．Because the walk provided her with spiritual comfort.B．Because her friends didn’t offer any help.C．Because she could u nfold the day’s medical drama.D．Because she didn’t want Misty to be others’ companion45. What message does the author want to convey in the passage?A．One should learn to enjoy hard times.B．A disaster can change everything in life.C．Confronted with difficulty, we still have moments to enjoy.D．People will change their attitude toward you when you are in difficulty.One of the curious things about social networks is the way that some messages, pictures, or ideas can spread like wildfire while others that seem just as catchy or interesting barely register at allBefore you go deep into the puzzle, consider this: If you measure the height of your male friends, for example, the average is about 170 cm. You are 172 and your friends are all about the same height as you are. Indeed, the mathematical concept of “average” is a good way to capture the nature of this data set.But imagine that one of your friends was much taller than you. This person would dramatically skew the average, which would make your friends taller than you, on average. In this case, the “average” is a poor way to capture this data set.Exactly this situation occurs on social networks. On average, your coauthors will be cited more often than you, and the people you follow will post more frequently than you and so on.Now Lerman from University of Southern Caledonia has discovered a related paradox, which they call the majority illusion (多数错觉). They illustrate this illusion with an example. They take 14 nodes linked up to form a small network. They then color three of these nodes and count how many of the remaining nodes link to them in a single step.In situation (a), the uncolored nodes see more than half of their neighbors as colored. This is the majority illusion—the local impression that a specific feature is common when the global truth is entirely different. While in situation (b) the majority illusion doesn’t occur.So how popular is it in the real world? It’s found out that the majority illusion occurs in almost all network s cenarios. “The effect is largest in the political blogs network, where 60% of nodes will have majority active neigbbours, even when only 20% of the nodes are truly active,” says Lerman.It immediately explains many interesting phenomena. For a start, it shows how some content can spread globally while other similar content does not—the key is to start with a small number of well-connected early adopters fooling the rest of the network into thinking it is common. The affected nodes then find it natural to follow the trend. A real spread finally comes into being.But it is not yet a marketer’s charter. For that, marketers must first identify the popular nodes that can create the majority illusion for the merger audience. These influencers must then be persuaded to adopt the desired behavior or product, which is essential to the prospect of the marketing plan.46. The phrase “skew the average” in the 3rd paragraph most probably refers to the action of__________.A．hiding the real average to be unrecognizable to othersB．producing an average against the general feature of dataC．working out the common feature suggested by the averageD．ignoring the average because of the frequency by which it is reviewed47. What does the difference between situation(a) and situation(b) lie in?A．The number of the nodes in the networkB．The manner of the connection between the nodes.C．The decision of which nodes to be colored.D．The influence of the network on the nodes.48. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A．Majority illusion rarely bas impacts except in political blogs field.B．The majority illusion on social networks relies on it that people you follow post more than youC．The essence of successful opinion spread is to initiate the trend with well-connectedsharers.D．The spread scale of ideas on networks mainly depends on the quality of content.49. To guarantee the success of marketing promotion, it’s vital to __________.A．thoroughly understand the concept of majority illusionB．accurately figure out who is the powerful person to affect othersC．definitely decide who are the target audience for the promotionD．successfully convince the influencers to practice certain action50. What is most probably the title of the passage?A．The social network vision that tricks your mind.B．Who is stealing your network identity?C．Minority network opinion spread, curse or blessing?D．Have you been misled during the last political voting?Let’s take a moment to consider the words of one of America’s most remarkable philosophers, Henry David Thoreau.Thoreau spent the years 1845-1847 living on the outskirts of society in a small cabin in the woods by the side of Waldon Pond. He called this period of his life an experiment of intentional living and wrote this famous paragraph：I went to the woods because I wished to live intentionally, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach，and not，when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow（精华）of life.There is great wisdom in Thoreau’s purpose here, and I think it’s very useful to ask ourselves this question：What would our lives be like if we sucked all the marrow out of life?If Thoreau’s quote sounds familiar, it may be from watching the film Dead Poets Society, a movie with deep wisdom. The film is about young men at a boarding school as they prepare to do good in the world because they have the privilege to bring about change. Their English teacher, played by Robin Williams, tries to convince them that they should live life well now instead of believing that they will find happiness after they reach certain goals. Part of his argument is conveyed by quoting this famous passage from Thoreau.Sucking the marrow out of life sounds simple enough, but as a matter of fact, it may be the most difficult thing that we can ever do. But it actually is as simple as it. Sounds—though “simple” is not quite the same thing as “easy”. I can think of one barrier that often keeps us from living our best lives. What keeps us from getting the most out of life is our desire for approval and fame. In the process of always looking for fame and glory, there is the danger that we will stop living. In order to seek approval from others, we fail to find a sense of approval within our own spirit.When we become aware that we are missing so much out of life, we can decide that we want to make changes. Our best move is to start small. If we are having a meal, whether a great festival feast or a modest supper, it is always within our power to take it slowly and really feel, taste, and enjoy the food before us. Few of us can easily do like Henry David Thoreau and get away from it all in the wilderness. But we can make small changes every single day.51. What wisdom is conveyed in Thoreau’s words?A．Stay away from city life. B．Live one’s life to the fullest.C．Only nature can bring happiness. D．One can never be too old to learn.52. Why did the author mention the film Dead Poets Society?A．To recommend a good film. B．To praise the teacher’s wisdom.C．To further illustrate Thoreau’s wisdom.D．To state the film was adapted fromThoreau’s works.53. What’s the author’s attitude towards people’s seeking for approval?A．Critical. B．Supportive. C．Sympathetic. D．Unconcerned. 54. How can people change life for the better according to the author?A．Live in the wildness. B．Set higher goals.C．Make small changes daily. D．Read more classics.55. What could be the best title of the passage?A．Ask for More：Thoreau Exposes the Meaning of LifeB．Sunk in Thought：Thoreau Outshines Ancient PhilosophersC．Aim High：Thoreau’s Practical Advice Ensures Successful LifeD．To Live Intentionally：Thoreau’s Philosophy Remains Valuable阅读表达During the final term of my theater and performance degree at the University of Leeds, I found myself standing outside Berkeley Court care home with three classmates and an underdeveloped idea. We planned to hold some interactive workshops with the residents to try to inspire memory and social engagement.I remember being nervous, aware that we were working with people who were vulnerable, and that I had no idea what I was doing. Some residents were almost nonverbal, some were clearly not with ability. Some were happy to see us, and some were not.I had decided to play music at the end of the session. We went with the song My Way because the residents, all roughly 80 years old, were probably listening to the hit song in their late 20s.Once I pressed play, it was as if a spell had been cast. Nearly everyone in the room stood up and sang what seemed like every word. I was so profoundly moved. Many of them were communicating much better. It looked and felt like magic.Off I went to drama school, but I thought about that experience almost daily. So when we were given the opportunity to write a script for a theater festival, I created a love story about music and dementia (痴呆), spanning 50 years of a couple’s life.And now, 10 years later, the show I made is running again in London thanks to the Music for Dementia campaign.When my grandma was diagnosed with dementia toward the end of her life, I didn’t struggle to communicate with her in the way that other people in their might have done. I felt more able to tune into what she needed and better equipped to see her underneath the disease.I now know that music-based intervention reduce the need for medication in more than 60% of people living with dementia. I don’t know what My Way would be, but I certainly think we should all strive to find our song and do our best to stay connected to the people we share it with.56. Why did the author choose the song My Way to play? (No more than 15 words)___________________________________________________________________________ 57. What made the author profoundly moved?

The Italianmedia with a view of the Chinese capital from space.That view 18 Cristoforetti to dive into the Chinese classics as the ISS flew over parts of China. She quoted 4th-century poet Wang Xizhi’s Preface to Poems Composed at the Orchid Pavilion:“Looking up, I see the immensity of the cosmos; bowing my head, I look at the multitude of the world. The gaze flies, the heart expands, the joy of the senses can reach its peak, and indeed, this is true happiness.” The text was 19 by photos of China taken from the space station.Her 20 spacecraft splashed down off the coast of Florida. After a medical check, she was flown to a military base in Germany, where CGTN Europe asked why she 21that particular poem and if she was aware of the 22 it had gained.“I have a good friend, an Italian who has lived in China for 30 years—a sinologist, very 23 about Chinese literature.” she smiled, “he suggested that to me, and it sounded like a good 24 .

I often think that is how we tend toview our beauty—through fogged up mirrors. We are seeing ourselves but the picture isn’t exactly clear! The mirrors have been fogged up through different life experiences and memories as we have grown up, and now blend together to form our own definition of our beauty.The first mirror is formed as a young child and is often based on what was said about us from our parents and those around us. I remember being told that I was a cute child, so that when I got a little older and was around six or seven and another child tried to tell me I was ugly- everything within me rose up against the statement because my self-belief in what my parents had said stood strong.The second mirror is the mirror of adolescence, those formative years when we are pushed into the big wild world and out of the protection of home. As a teenager I went to a boarding school, and I was one of the only two black people in the entire school. Children being naturally curious, I felt like I was asked a million and one different questions about both my hair and skin tone--and I don’t think there has ever been a time when I have been more acutely aware of my appearance, which in turn opened up the door for me to question how I looked and to thankfully embrace my differences.The final mirror comes from socially constructed ideas of beauty. We are often faced with numerous images in the media, popular culture, society, peers and social media, which can create a false ideal of beauty in our eyes. We tend to compare ourselves to those ideals and use it as some sort of margin (差值) of measurement.However, real beauty comes from within. It is acceptance of yourself, perceived flaws and all. You are a masterpiece, a unique blend of genes and life experiences. It’s essential to appreciate yourself like any other work of art or natural wonder, without judgement. Maybe it’s time to create a fourth mirror, a new mirror that is wiped clean and is minus the fog of comparisons, accusations, judgments and expectations.41．What do the fogged-up mirrors represent according to the first paragraph?A．The difficulties of seeing oneself in the mirror.B．The various sources of beauty standards.C．The unclear perceptions of one’s beauty.D．The life experiences and memories.42．How did the author react when someone called her ugly?A．She felt embarrassed.B．She completely denied it.C．She sought comfort from her parents.D．She questioned what her parents had said.43．What can we learn about social constructed ideas of beauty?A．They push teens out of home protection.B．They arouse acute awareness of one’s appearance.C．They may mislead people’s idea of beauty.D．They are the exact measurement of beauty.44．What does the author suggest as a possible fourth mirror?A．A mirror not affected by external factors.B．A mirror going against society’s expectations.C．A mirror reflecting one’s childhood experiences.D．A mirror showing the beauty ideals from social media.45．The passage is mainly written to tell us that we should________.A．bring happiness to those around usB．keep our resolve despite obstaclesC．change ourselves to achieve an idealD．embrace our real inner beautyWhat is your calling? What is your purpose in life? What did you come to this world to do? Every day we read about how we should find our purpose and pursue it throughout our lives in order to find meaning and contentment. There are even scientific studies that show people who view their work as a calling rather than just a career or a job have a higher life and work satisfaction. So, what exactly is this calling?I’ve personally struggled with this concept for many years. I knew that happiness not only came from a present state of joy, but also from the pursuit of an objective that gave me something to pursue. That is, until I found myself feeling empty despite my achievement of those goals.And as I reflected on these feelings of emptiness and boredom that had arisen despite my successes, I realized something. Meaning and satisfaction come from a personal devotion to what we do and the intrinsic (固有的) fulfillment we get from it. It has nothing to do with financial gain, social advancement or any other type of external reward or motivation. It isabout doing something that we love. It is about focusing our efforts and spending our time on passions that light the spark inside of us and allow us to share with the world the unique gifts we possess.I had never before stopped to think about what I found intrinsically rewarding or fulfilling. Financial gain and external recognition were pretty much the only drivers I knew. More so, I thought this calling meant having one passion we were born with to pursue relentlessly (不懈地).So, I spent some years trying to find this long-lost purpose of mine. I discovered during that time passions I had no idea I even had. Yet, I wasn’t sure how to make them into my life purpose. I searched for an answer but couldn’t find it. It wasn’t until I came to understand the truths about our purpose in life that I was able to find my place in this world.Our purpose can consist of various things that make us feel alive. As we grow and evolve throughout the different stages in our lives, we may discover new passions and desires that change our sense of purpose and calling.We all have a longing for lives that give meaning to our existence. The difference lies in how we go about accomplishing this. We must each find our own “shine” and then shine on. 46．According to the passage, the calling refers to________.A．one’s view about careersB．a task one has to carry outC．a life-long career one choosesD．a strong desire or sense of duty to do a job47．Which of the following belongs to the author’s previous drivers for finding fulfillment?A．Financial gain and external recognition.B．Pursuing passions relentlessly.C．Discovering new passions.D．Finding purpose in life.48．What is the real purpose in life according to the author?A．Trying to do everything that you can.B．Trying to achieve your ambitious goals.C．Doing meaningful things with your passion.D．Doing something that can be successful easily.49．According to the 5th paragraph, we know that________.A．the author spent some years making changesB．the author used to think he had no passion at allC．the author didn’t know how to search for the life purposeD．the author has known his passions since he started to work50．What conclusion can be drawn from the passage?A．It’s wise to give up discovering our one true passion.B．It’s useless to pursue financial gain and external recognition.C．It’s necessary to find our own calling and pursue it with vigor.D．It’s important to share our passion with the world without stopping.As people travelling by air become increasingly aware of their carbon footprint, flying has become not only one of the most polluting industries, but also one with the most potential to turn things around.After Solar Impulse 2 completed the world’s first flight by a solar-powered aircraft in 2016, airlines and aircraft producers looked to become the first to provide a commercial plane. Bertrand Piccard, one of the pilots responsible for Solar Impulse 2’s journey said, “Al1 the clean technologies we’ve already had can be used everywhere. We have to use them, not only for the environment, but also because they are profitable and able to create jobs.”The following year saw many projects in the aviation (航空) field as the airline industry acknowledged the future of low-carbon transportation methods. In 2017, Zunum Aero, a small aviation company which focused on delivering a range of hybrid-electric (混合电动的) planes received financial aid from JetBlue and Boeing, whilst EasyJet teamed up with Wright Electric to develop battery-powered aircraft and NASA also announced its plans to develop its own electric aircraft.Orkney Islands, lying about 20 miles north of the Scottish mainland, are rich in renewable resources, especially the wind energy. Loganair, a Scottish airline, is cooperating with aviation companies to make Orkney the world’s first fully electric airline routes. However, this is never easy. Due to the limited size and weight of a battery that an airplane can carry, airplane producers are faced with a bottleneck—the continued power supply for electric airplanes. They believe the abundant wind energy in Orkney could be the key to solving it.The benefits of electric air travel transcend its low-carbon emissions. Aviation expertsbelieve these aircraft’s power source will also mean they will be less noisy, smaller, require less maintenance costs, and need a shorter runway to take off and land—this could lead to more airports in small cities and more rural areas being connected to the world at large. 51．What did Bertrand want to convey in his words?A．The future of aircraft pilots.B．The success of Solar Impulse 2.C．The convenience of commercial planes.D．The significance of using renewable energy.52．How did EasyJet carry out the low-carbon transportation methods?A．By asking for financial support from banks.B．By working together with another company.C．By purchasing patents from other countries.D．By improving the technology on its own.53．What will airplane producers probably do to make Orkney’s electric airline routes a reality?A．Use natural resources to charge airplanes.B．Build more coal-fired power stations.C．Develop shorter airline routes.D．Increase the size of battery.54．What does the underlined word “transcend” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A．Go beyond.B．Rely on.C．Differ from.D．Refer to. 55．What’s the benefit of electric planes besides its green footprint?A．Making plane tickets cheaper.B．Making the flying time shorter.C．Making the world more connected.D．Making the plane maintenance easier.四、阅读表达You saw the video, right? The 45-second recording of a kid dancing in the rain? There was something inspiring about it. In a moment when our social media channels have been flooded with unsettling news, here was a kid whose love for dance couldn’t be stopped by therain. Or by the concrete (混凝土) ground he was dancing on. Or the fact that he was barefoot (赤脚的).Since it was uploaded to Instagram in June, the video of Nigerian ballet dancer Anthony Mmesoma Madu gathered thousands of views, likes, and comments. People seem to be absolutely stunned by the boy’s dedication (献身), elegance (优雅), and talent.Madu is one of a dozen students between the ages of 5 and 12 at Leap Academy of Dance in Badagry. Daniel Ajala Owoseni, Anthony’s teacher, founded this school in Lagos in 2017. Unfortunately, even after 5 years, the school still doesn’t have a dedicated space for its students. Because of that, most of the time, they practice in Owoseni’s tiny home as well as public spaces in the community.“We are trying to change the traditional thought around ballet dance. Boys can actually do ballet,” the teacher told the BBC．“Male ballet dancing is here to stay and it is not only supposed to be for females.”“Where I live, there are no male ballet dancers like me,” young Anthony told a BBC reporter. When he is dancing, he said, “the feeling that comes over me is as if I am dreaming.”The video eventually caught the attention of Cynthia Harvey, the current artistic director of the ABT Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis School of Dance, one of America’s most famous ballet schools. Fortunately, she succeeded in tracking Anthony down. Moreover, she had arranged for full scholarships (奖学金) so Anthony could attend the ABT virtual Young Dancer Summer Workshop, a three-week intensive program.“A child who shows this much dedication, you just have to help,” she said. “You are not only changing your world there in Africa but you’re changing the hearts and minds of so many people.”56．Why did Anthony’s video become so popular? (no more than 10 words)57．What does the underlined word in Paragraph 2 mean? (no more than 2 words) 58．What’s Paragraph 3 mainly about? (no more than 5 words)59．What made Anthony qualify for the unusual scholarship? Give two of the facts. (no more than 10 words)60．Do you consider Anthony as your role model? Please explain. (no more than 25 words)五、开放性作文61．假如你是你校野生动物保护协会会长李华，恰逢协会成立10周年，请你写一篇博文介绍这十年协会做出的成就，并在博文中广泛征集全校师生的建议，如何更好保护野生动物。

Chinese female translator Zhang Jing became an online hit in China for remaining unflustered(从容不迫的), graceful, and accurate.One video of the first session of the diplomatic talks shows how Yang Jiechi starts his response to the American side at 8.30 minutes, going on until the 24.36-minute mark. Next to him, interpreter Zhang Jing is fiercely taking notes. When Yang finishes speaking, he glances to foreign minister Wang Yi on his right to let him speak, after which Zhang says, “Shall I first translate?” While the U.S. side was awaiting the translation, Yang then says: “Ok, you translate,” adding in English: “It’s a test for the interpreter,” after which the American side says “We’re gonna give the translator a raise!” Zhang then goes ahead and calmly translates Yang’s entire 15-minute speech.To give a speedy translation of such a lengthy off-the-record speech is seen as a sign of Zhang’s utmost professionalism as an interpreter, which many on Weibo praise. “She’s my idol,” multiple people write.On Sunday, the hashtag “China-U.S. Talks Female Interpreter Zhang Jing” had reached 200 million views, but it is not the first time for Zhang, who was previously called “the most beautiful interpreter” of the National Congress in 2013.Being an interpreter is generally regarded an exciting and attractive job by many netizens, as the career involves much traveling and international contacts. But the ability to master another language than Chinese is also often admired.“Translators are usually the ‘heroes behind the scenes’, “one commenter writes, pointing out how rare it is for an interpreter to hit the limelight (聚光灯) like this.“There are still people saying it’s not important to learn English,” another Weibo user writes: “But if that were true, how could we educate brilliant interpreters like her? How else could we quarrel with Americans at the conference table?!”Many who write about Zhang on Weibo say that she is an example or a role model to them: “I hope that my spoken English one day would be as excellent as hers. This motivates me to try even harder.”41．We can infer that during the first session of the talk, ________.A．Zhang Jing seemed fierce because of Yang Jiechi’s long talkB．Zhang Jing wrote down fierce words in response to the US sideC．it was beyond Zhang Jing’s ability to follow Yang JiechiD．Zhang Jing concentrated on translating in an intense atmosphere.42．What does the underlined “it” in the fourth paragraph refer to?A．Zhang Jing was called “the most beautiful interpreter”.B．Zhang Jing became an online hit several years ago.C．Zhang Jing interpreted for the China-U.S. diplomatic talk.D．Zhang Jing gave a speedy translation of a long speech.43．Why did the American side say “We’re gonna give the translator a raise!“A．Because the American side wanted to employ Zhang Jing due to her talent.B．Because the American side thought Zhang Jing got a low salary.C．Because the American side considered Zhang Jing’s job quite tough.D．Because it was impossible for Zhang Jing to assume the task except by a pay rise. 44．Zhang Jing is taken as a good example of________.A．quarrelling with the American sidesB．enjoying an exciting and attractive jobC．showing the significance of learning English wellD．stressing the importance of educating brilliant interpreters45．Where does the passage least possibly taken from?A．Science report.B．The Internet.C．Wechat official account.D．Newspaper.As people are becoming more socially conscious about where their food comes from and how it impacts the planet, they are choosing animal-free plant-based options. Cow-free meat has been around for quite some time and the popularity of brands like Beyond Meat and cultivated meat from Aleph Farms and others are soaring. While there are a large number of plant-based milk substitutes, none of them have the same taste of cow’s milk. Now, an Israeli food-tech startup Remilk created real dairy products without harming a single cow or the planet.The company stresses that their product Remilk is not a milk substitute but rather is the real deal. Made from a special process called microbial fermentation (微生物发酵), milk is manufactured in a lab instead of in a cow. And the end product is very healthy. “In a very simple way, we take the gene that encodes for the milk protein,” said Aviv Wolff, CEO ofRemilk.”The gene functions as an instruction book for the production of the protein it encodes. And so, we insert the gene into a microbe that we’ve developed and it instructs our microbe to produce the specific protein in a very efficient way.”The company says that the lab-produced milk tastes identical to the real thing and they hope to eventually replace cows by creating every dairy product sold. They expect to roll out plant-based cheese and yogurt in addition to milk. “Remilk was founded with the mission to stop using animals to produce our food because, as dairy lovers, we realize that giving up on milk is not an option,” Wolff said. “But today’s milk comes with an unreasonable price tag. The dairy industry is destructive to our planet, our health, and our animals, and is simply not sustainable anymore.”The environmental price tag of dairy farming is way too high. According to the World Wildlife Fund, dairy cows add a huge amount of greenhouse gasses to the atmosphere and contribute to global warming and climate change as well as foul the air around them. Dairy operations consume large amounts of water and run-off of manure (粪肥) and fertilizers from these farms get into local waterways. The production of Remilk uses only 5 percent of the resources and produces only 1 percent of the waste of producing cow’s milk according to the company. And they accomplish this by being 100 percent cruelty-free unlike dairy farms. 46．What distinguishes Remilk from other milk substitutes?A．It enjoys broad popularity.B．It has the highest output.C．It comes in various flavours.D．It tastes the same as cow’s milk.47．What is paragraph 2 mainly about?A．The production of Remilk.B．The nutritional value of Remilk.C．The role of gene in making protein.D．The process of microbial fermentation.48．What can we know from Wolff’s words in paragraph 3?A．Remilk was set up for animal protection.B．Dairy industries should be shut down.C．Remilk aims to produce animal-free food.D．Prices of cow’s milk are soaring these days.49．What does the underlined word “foul” probably mean in the last paragraph?A．Clean.B．Heat.C．Pollute.D．Consume.50．What can we infer from the passage?A．Drawing on gene technology, Remilk has developed a variety of dairy products.B．Conventional dairy industry is anything but eco-friendly.C．The new technology adopted by Remilk transforms the gene of cows.D．It’ll be some time before the public get accustomed to the milk substitutes.When plates are set on the table, phones, rather than forks, are at the ready. At this point in our social media entanglement (纠缠)，the fact that the camera eats first is pretty much a given. Sure, some chefs, including Michelin rated star chefs, express their displeasure at this, but efforts to make the table a screen-free domain have mostly fallen flat.New research from Aston University has found that people are indeed influenced by the food photos that their friends post on social media. For example, for every serving of fruits and vegetables that a person thinks their friends are eating, they’ll eat one-fifth of a serving more. This number makes more sense within the context of the recommended “five a day”, meaning someone who’s being influenced would make a point of eating six portions of fruits or vegetables. Similarly, for every three portions of junk food that a person sees friends consuming on social media, they’ll eat an extra one.The researchers have suggested that social media can be very beneficial when it comes to people’s choices of food and their diets. Study supervisors Dr. Jason Thomas said, “The implication is that we can use social media as a tool to encourage each other’s eating choice within friendship groups, and use this knowledge as a tool for public health interventions.”Actually, the daily food situation is somewhat different from everything else posted on social media. People also desire to copy what they see but they need good social media literacy skills in order to grasp what’s realistic and what’s absurd. It is necessary to avoid the fake perfection of social media.It gets boring trying to figure out what to eat three times a day, week after week, so no wonder people want to take the path of least resistance and eat what their friends are eating. Unfortunately, most of what gets posted is the more time-consuming recipes or the attractively styled restaurant meals. By all means, keep your antennae (触角) out for newideas, but gather them from food magazines, cookbooks, store flyers, reliable cooking websites, and recommended recipes from friends and family.51．What phenomenon is talked about in Par.1?A．The influence of social media on people’s diet.B．People’s taking photos of food before eating.C．Chefs’ efforts to make the table screen-free.D．The pursuit of dining in fancy restaurant.52．What’s the consequence of people’s seeing their friends’ online post?A．They’ll copy what their friends do.B．They’ll take junk food more seriously.C．They’ll consume more than their friends.D．They’ll care more about their friends’ eating habits.53．What’s Dr. Jason Thomas’s attitude towards social media?A．Positive.B．Doubtful.C．Concerned.D．Unclear.54．What might people referring to others’ diets be advised to do?A．Form their own diet styles.B．Find the similarities among others’ diets.C．Avoid aiming for perfection in daily meals.D．Enhance their critical thinking and skepticism.55．What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph?A．Point out the unreality of social media.B．Call on people to enrich their knowledge in cooking.C．Introduce the general classification of food posted online.D．Encourage people to broaden their sources of food inspiration.四、阅读表达阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

Chinese female translator Zhang Jing became an online hit in China for remaining unflustered(从容不迫的), graceful, and accurate.One video of the first session of the diplomatic talks shows how Yang Jiechi starts his response to the American side at 8.30 minutes, going on until the 24.36-minute mark. Next to him, interpreter Zhang Jing is fiercely taking notes. When Yang finishes speaking, he glances to foreign minister Wang Yi on his right to let him speak, after which Zhang says, “Shall I first translate?” While the U.S. side was awaiting the translation, Yang then says: “Ok, you translate,” adding in English: “It’s a test for the interpreter,” after which the American side says “We’re gonna give the translator a raise!” Zhang then goes ahead and calmly translates Yang’s entire 15-minute speech.To give a speedy translation of such a lengthy off-the-record speech is seen as a sign of Zhang’s utmost professionalism as an interpreter, which many on Weibo praise. “She’s my idol,” multiple people write.On Sunday, the hashtag “China-U.S. Talks Female Interpreter Zhang Jing” had reached 200 million views, but it is not the first time for Zhang, who was previously called “the most beautiful interpreter” of the National Congress in 2013.Being an interpreter is generally regarded an exciting and attractive job by many netizens, as the career involves much traveling and international contacts. But the ability to master another language than Chinese is also often admired.“Translators are usually the ‘heroes behind the scenes’, “one commenter writes, pointing out how rare it is for an interpreter to hit the limelight (聚光灯) like this.“There are still people saying it’s not important to learn English,” another Weibo user writes: “But if that were true, how could we educate brilliant interpreters like her? How else could we quarrel with Americans at the conference table?!”Many who write about Zhang on Weibo say that she is an example or a role model to them: “I hope that my spoken English one day would be as excellent as hers. This motivates me to try even harder.”41. We can infer that during the first session of the talk, ________.A．Zhang Jing seemed fierce because of Yang Jiechi’s long talkB．Zhang Jing wrote down fierce words in response to the US sideC．it was beyond Zhang Jing’s ability to follow Yang JiechiD．Zhang Jing concentrated on translating in an intense atmosphere.42.

Cow-free meat has been around for quite some time and the popularity of brands like Beyond Meat and cultivated meat from Aleph Farms and others are soaring. While there are a large number of plant-based milk substitutes, none of them have the same taste of cow’s milk. Now, an Israeli food-tech startup Remilk created real dairy products without harming a single cow or the planet.The company stresses that their product Remilk is not a milk substitute but rather is the real deal. Made from a special process called microbial fermentation (微生物发酵), milk is manufactured in a lab instead of in a cow. And the end product is very healthy. “In a very simple way, we take the gene that encodes for the milk protein,” said Aviv Wolff, CEO of Remilk.”The gene functions as an instruction book for the production of the protein it encodes. And so, we insert the gene into a microbe that we’ve developed and it instructs our microbe to produce the specific protein in a very efficient way.”The company says that the lab-produced milk tastes identical to the real thing and they hope to eventually replace cows by creating every dairy product sold. They expect to roll out plant-based cheese and yogurt in additio n to milk. “Remilk was founded with the mission to stop using animals to produce our food because, as dairy lovers, we realize that giving up on milk is not an option,” Wolff said. “But today’s milk comes with an unreasonable price tag. The dairy industry is destructive to our planet, our health, and our animals, and is simply not sustainable anymore.”The environmental price tag of dairy farming is way too high. According to the World Wildlife Fund, dairy cows add a huge amount of greenhouse gasses to the atmosphere and contribute to global warming and climate change as well as foul the air around them. Dairy operations consume large amounts of water and run-off of manure (粪肥) and fertilizers from these farms get into local waterways. The production of Remilk uses only 5 percent of the resources and produces only 1 percent of the waste of producing cow’s milk according to the company. And they accomplish this by being 100 percent cruelty-free unlike dairy farms.46. What distinguishes Remilk from other milk substitutes?A．It enjoys broad popularity.B．It has the highest output.C．It comes in various flavours.D．It tastes the same as cow’s milk.47. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?A．The production of Remilk.B．The nutritional value of Remilk.C．The role of gene in making protein.D．The process of microbial fermentation.48. What can we know from Wolff’s words in paragraph 3?A．Remilk was set up for animal protection.B．Dairy industries should be shut down.C．Remilk aims to produce animal-free food.D．Prices of cow’s milk are soaring these days.49. What does the underlined word “foul” probably mean in the last paragraph?A．Clean. B．Heat.C．Pollute. D．Consume.50. What can we infer from the passage?A．Drawing on gene technology, Remilk has developed a variety of dairy products.B．Conventional dairy industry is anything but eco-friendly.C．The new technology adopted by Remilk transforms the gene of cows.D．It’ll be some time before the public get accustomed to the milk substitutes.When plates are set on the table, phones, rather than forks, are at the ready. At this point in our social media entanglement (纠缠)，the fact that the camera eats first is pretty much a given. Sure, some chefs, including Michelin rated star chefs, express their displeasure at this, but efforts to make the table a screen-free domain have mostly fallen flat.New research from Aston University has found that people are indeed influenced by the food photos that their friends post on social media. For example, for every serving of fruits and vegetables that a person thinks their friends are eating, they’ll eat one-fifth of a serving more. This number makes more sense within the context of the recommended “five a day”, meaning someone who’s being influenced would make a point of eating six portions of fruits or vegetables. Similarly, for every three portions of junk food that a person sees friends consuming on social media, they’ll eat an extra one.The researchers have suggested that social media can be very beneficial when it comes to people’s choices of food and their diets. Study supervisors Dr. Jason Thomas said, “The implication is that we can use social media as a tool to encourage each other’s eating choice within friendship groups, and use this knowledge as a too l for public health interventions.”Actually, the daily food situation is somewhat different from everything else posted on social media. People also desire to copy what they see but they need good social media literacy skills in order to grasp what’s realistic and what’s absurd. It is necessary to avoid the fake perfection of social media. It gets boring trying to figure out what to eat three times a day, week after week, so no wonder people want to take the path of least resistance and eat what their friends are eating. Unfortunately, most of what gets posted is the more time-consuming recipes or the attractively styled restaurant meals. By all means, keep your antennae (触角) out for new ideas, but gather them from food magazines, cookbooks, store flyers, reliable cooking websites, and recommended recipes from friends and family.51.
