第二部分 阅读(共两节,满分 50 分)
第一节 (共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
While some extreme diets may suggest otherwise,we all need a balance of protein,fat,carbohydrates,fiber,vitamins,and minerals in our diets to keep a healthy body.You don’t need to remove certain kinds of foods from your diet,but rather select the healthiest ones.
Protein
Protein gives us the energy to get up and go—and keep going—while also supporting mood and cognitive function(认知功能).Too much protein can be harmful to people with kidney disease,but the latest research suggests that many of us need more high-quality protein,especially as we age.That doesn’t mean you have to eat more animal products—a variety of plant-based sources of protein each day can ensure your body gets all the necessary protein it needs.
Fat
Not all fat is the same.While bad fat can destroy your diet and increase the possibility of certain diseases,good fat protects your brain and heart.In fact,healthy fat—such as omega-3s—is necessary to your physical and emotional health.Understanding how to include more healthy fat in your diet can help improve your mood and your well-beings.
Fiber
Eating foods high in dietary fiber(grain,fruit,vegetables,nuts,and beans) can help you stay regular and lower the possibility of heart disease,strokes,and diabetes.It can also improve your skin and even help you to lose weight. Depending on your age and gender,experts suggest you eat at least 21 to 38 grams of fiber each day.
Calcium(钙)
Your body uses calcium to build healthy bones and teeth,keep them strong,send messages through the nervous system,and control the heart’s rhythm.Not getting enough calcium in your diet can also lead to anxiety,depression,and sleep difficulties.Whatever your age or gender,it’s necessary to include calcium-rich foods in your diet.
21.What can we know about protein from the second paragraph
A.The animal products provide more protein.
B.We should have less protein when we get older.
C.Protein can improve a person’s mood.
D.We should have as much protein as possible.
22.Which is one benefit of foods in high fiber
A.They provide more energy.
B.They help improve the skin.
C.They help build healthy teeth.
D.They are good for eyesight.
23.What’s the effect of shortage of calcium
A.People may have trouble with sleep.
B.People may become older easily.
C.People may have the risk of kidney disease.
D.People may gain weight quickly in a short time.
B
We greet people we know and people we don’t know.Doctor Aka stopped and gave greetings to the men sitting along the way.Ayah and I came to a little store to buy bread and candies.It wouldn’t do to arrive at the joy empty-handed.
It’s the end of my 7-month stay in an Uzbek village teaching English and I was walking down the dirt roads with my host parents—Doctor Aka and Nurse Ayah.We drew close to a relative’s house,Shakhnoza Sister’s,whose children we love.“Let’s see the baby.We can’t just go by without seeing the little Kyrgyz(吉尔吉斯人),” laughed the Doctor.It’s his personal joke to call the lovely baby a Kyrgyz.
We then continued our joy.There are endless occasions to throw party in this village.Birthdays,weddings,buying a car,a holiday—all call for throwing a party.The occasion in this evening was the return of a relative and his wife from working in Russia.Ayah and I joined the women in their separate place.All the aunts were present.We enjoyed Russian chocolate,drank green tea,told stories,tasted Osh—a rice dish of Central Asia.
My departure(离开) in a few weeks was now a main topic: we were planning to have a good-bye party,to cry,to keep in touch by Skype,and for me to invite them to my wedding.The last blessing was given by the oldest person present.We headed out the gate amid “Bye,Cathy! Come again!” “Okay! Come to our house next time!” ...
Seven months ago I didn’t know these people or their language.I didn’t know that I would visit from place to place and find them just that joy.
24.What can we know about Doctor Aka

B.It’s hosted by Shakhnoza Sister.
C.It pushed the author to buy a car.
D.It only served green tea to the guests.

BBYY,as the adult female was known,made a wild dash of more than 388 kilometers in 49 days—the longest distance ever recorded among hares,rabbits or any other relatives—researchers report online December 22 in Ecology.
“To think that such a small animal living under such extreme conditions averaged about eight kilometers per day across seven weeks is truly amazing,” says Joel Berger,a scientist at Colorado State University in Fort Collins.
Arctic hares,also known as North-Pole hares—which weigh more or less the same as house cats,about four kilograms—are desirable targets for foxes and wolves on the tundra(苔原).Given the hares’ important role in the Arctic food chain,scientist Dominique Berteaux wanted to know how the animals move across the dry landscape where very few plants can grow.
In 2019,Berteaux and colleagues fixed satellite tracking rings on 25 hares caught near the northern tip of Ellesmere Island in Nunavut,Canada.As the hares quickly ran away,the researchers had no idea the creatures were beginning a mind-blowing journey across the tundra,Berteaux says.That’s because hares and their relatives typically spend their lives within a familiar area where food is plentiful and easy to find.
The Arctic hares behaved quite differently,with most traveling anywhere between 113 and 310 kilometers.None came close to BBYY,who died of unknown causes about a month after reaching her final destination.
For a hare to complete such a dangerous journey,it must balance the need to find food without becoming food,says Dennis Murray,a scientist.That makes BBYY’s adventure even more impressive,he says.
Berteaux and colleagues hope data from BBYY and the other hares can help shape conservation strategies for the desert system near the North Pole.But even at this early stage,it’s exciting to find “something unknown in an animal that we thought we knew quite well,” Berteaux says.
28.Why did Berteaux and colleagues do research on Arctic hares
A.Because of their amazing ability to travel a long distance.
B.Because of their weighing more or less the same as house cats.
C.Because of their important role in the Arctic food chain.
D.Because of their extreme living conditions.
29.What does the underlined word “mind-blowing” in the fourth paragraph mean
A.Amazing. B.Disappointing. C.Demanding. D.Upsetting.
30.What do we know about BBYY
A.BBYY was an adult male with the longest distance record among hares.
B.BBYY died of tiredness from traveling the longest distance.
C.BBYY,like other Arctic hares,typically lived within a familiar area.
D.BBYY managed to balance the need to find food without becoming food.
31.What can we infer from the text
A.The findings of Berteaux and colleagues are good for nothing.
B.The findings of Berteaux and colleagues just confirm what people believe about hares.
C.Berteaux and colleagues have discovered an unknown species—Arctic hares.
D.Berteaux and colleagues will go on with their research on Arctic hares.
D
In recent years,there has been great progress in the study of genetics.With this progress,doors have been opened up to technologies that never existed before.While many people are excited about these new technologies,these same technologies frighten others.Nowhere is this truer than with genetically modified(GM)(转基因的) food.
There are two ways in which a plant or an animal can be genetically modified.First,new material can be inserted into its DNA to give the plant or animal qualities which it would never have in nature.Second,material can be taken from the DNA of a plant or an animal in order to remove qualities which are not desired.
One aim of GM research is to produce food which will make us healthier.So far,this technology has been used to produce plants which are better able to defend themselves against pests and disease.Supporters of GM food argue that GM plants are healthier and have larger harvests.While there has been research in GM animals such as pigs,no GM meat is being sold at present.
Many questions have been raised about GM food.No one really knows whether it is safe for animals or humans to eat.Scientists admit that more tests should be done on GM food.Research has been limited to increasing production profits,rather than making sure that GM food is safe.GM food could therefore be dangerous to eat.
There is also a question as to whether GM plants are safe for the environment.Since GM crops are planted outside,they are part of the food chain—insects and other animals eat them or use their products,and these insects and animals will be eaten by other animals.No one knows what effects the GM material might have on the food chain.
Since no one really knows whether GM food is safe,many countries have hesitated to give permission for the production of GM food,as they would rather be cautious with this new technology.
32.How does the author introduce the topic in paragraph 1
A.By giving examples. B.By giving definition.
C.By listing numbers. D.By making a comparison.
33.What is the purpose of GM research
A.To make healthier food. B.To produce enough meat.
C.To produce stronger plants. D.To make people disease-free.
34.What attitude do the governments hold to GM food in the last paragraph
A.Negative. B.Supportive. C.Cautious. D.Indifferent.
35.Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A.GM Food: Hope or Danger B.GM Research: Safe or Not
C.GM Food: Stop or Continue D.GM Research: Right or Wrong

It was time for the annual Potato-Salad Contest in Russet Park.After trying for the third time,Alexis shook her head sadly.There was no way she would win the Golden Potato again because Grandpa wasn’t here this year.
Memories of how Grandpa taught her to make potato rose in her mind.She sighed and missed Grandpa so much.
Alexis cut the potatoes and mixed the boiled potatoes,some sauces and a little salt and peppers in a bowl.But it didn’t taste right.Alexis tried a bite of the salad mixture,wondering what was missing.Seeing her frown,Mom suggested,“What about something spicy Your Grandpa loved spicy things.”
“You’re right! Maybe he put a jalapeno pepper in it,” Alexis said,cutting up a bright green jalapeno and adding it to the bowl.
It was closer,but it still didn’t taste right.Alexis was dropping her head,disappointed.“Should we look in a cookbook?”
“Grandpa was never one to follow a recipe,” Dad entered the kitchen and said.
It was true.People loved Grandpa’s potato salad because it was one of a kind.Alexis remembered posing with Grandpa for a photo while they were making the salad.
Photo! That gave her an idea.Alexis hurried to the bookcase and found an old photo album.She immediately flipped it open,expecting to find clues in the photos there.Lots of photos showed Grandpa and Grandma cooking together.Dad laughed,“He and Grandma loved to tease each other but he always called her Honey.”
“Do you think he put honey in the potato salad?” Mum asked.
“It is worth a try,” said Alexis.She stirred some honey into the bowl.
But it still wasn’t quite right.Alexis’ heart sank,on the verge of giving up.Dad kept flipping the album.At the end of the album was the picture of Grandpa and Alexis making the salad together.
注意:续写词数应为 150个左右。
It looked like Grandpa was crying in the photo.
With hesitation,the family tasted the potato salad with onions in it.

52.C [根据下文“to feature the colorful canvases”可推知,用于展示多彩的画布的应是一个在线画廊。故选C。]

语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。许多科学家认为,我们对糖的热爱实际上可能是一种瘾。文章主要介绍了糖是如何影响人的大脑以及人体健康的。
56.addiction [考查名词。空处作表语,表示“瘾”应用名词addiction,根据an可知应用单数。故填addiction。]
57.that/which [考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,此处为定语从句修饰先行词parts of our brain,先行词在从句中作主语,指物,故应用关系代词that或which引导。故填that/which。]

64.But [考查连词。上文提到糖可以储存能量,后文则说如今大多数人摄入的糖已经过剩了,前后为转折关系,应用连词but,句首单词首字母要大写。故填But。]
65.saved [考查动词的时态。根据once可知,从句应用一般过去时。故填saved。]

Dear Schoolmates,
I’m Li Hua,chairman of the Student Council. With the intention of raising students’ awareness of having a healthy lifestyle,our campus is launching a campaign with the theme of “Eat organic food and live a healthy life”.
As we can see,there exists a common phenomenon that students on our campus tend to eat chemical food instead of organic food due to its low price and availability.However,there is no denying that the long-term use of chemical food where chemical remains exist has a poor effect on both our health and the environment.Therefore,it is of vital importance to switch to organic food,which may alleviate the damage to our health as well as the surroundings,contributing to a healthy lifestyle.
Hence,for the sake of your own health and a more harmonious world,I am standing here,appealing for your active participation in this campaign.Only through our joint efforts can we make a difference to the world.
Yours,
Li Hua
