13、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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。ADuring his schools “College Colours Day”, a fourth-grade boy in Florida, who dreams to become a student of the University of Tennessee, wanted to wear a shirt of the university, but he didnt have one. His teacher, Laura Snyder, suggested that he should we
14、ar an orange shirt to show his spirit.When the day finally arrived, the boy was so excited to show his shirt-an orange one with a piece of paper attached to it, on which was his homemade design of the UT logo.But by lunch time, the spirited fan was in tears. Some girls bullied (霸凌) him and made fun
15、of his design that he had pinned to his shirt. Back to Snyder s room, he put his head on desk and was crying, devastated.In hopes of raising the boys spirits, Snyder planned on buying him an official University of Tennessee T-shirt, and asked friends online if they had contacts with the university w
16、ho could “make it a little extra special for him.”The post immediately went viral and Snyder was contacted by the University of Tennessee informing her that they wanted to send the boy a care package of swag and apparel(服装) in support of him.The story, however, didnt end here. The University of Tenn
17、essee said it was turning his “U.T.” design into an official T-shirt and had pre-sold more than 50,000 shirts online. The university wont profit from the shirts: It is donating the money to a charity dedicated to (致力于) getting rid of bullying of all forms.“When I told him that his design was being m
18、ade into a real shirt and people wanted to wear it, his jaw dropped, said Snyder. “He had a big smile on his face, walked taller, and I could tell his confidence grew!”In recognition of the fourth-graders spirit, the university has also extended an offer of honorary admission for him to join the Cla
19、ss of 2032. In addition, he has been awarded a four-year scholarship if he decides to attend UT in 2028 and meets admission requirements.21. How did the boy react to his schools “College Colours Day”?A. He prepared for it with a creative design.B. He dreamed of winning a prize on the day.C. He was a
20、fraid of being laughed at on the day.DHe was shy of joining it without a university shirt.22. How did the boy probably feel after lunch on the “College Colour Day”?A. Excited and thankful.B. Confident and happy.C. Shocked and sad.D. Nervous and worried.23. What Snyder did for the boy shows that _.A.
21、 a strong will is vital to successB. a promise will change ones lifeC. the youth should be treated equallyD. caring love can make a big differenceBTo be clear, plastic bags are rightly thought of as a threat thats harmful to human health. According to the National Resources Defense Council, over a d
22、ecade ago, the average American family took home almost 1,500 plastic shopping bags a year, filling our cabinets, kitchen drawers, and landfills (垃圾填埋场). Today the numbers are slightly better: According to National Geographic, as of 2018, shoppers in the United States use almost one plastic bag per
23、resident per day.This is not a story on the evil of plastics, but on whether the reusable bag can justify its existence. Although more environmentally friendly than traditional single-use plastic bags, reusable bags, depending on what they are made of, are more energy-intensive (耗能) to recycle.Accor
24、ding to a report by the United Nations Environment Program, “depending on what they are made of, reusable bags might have to be deconstructed in a costly recycling process to separate the different materials. As a result, in many cases, reusable bags are not recycled. That means despite the best int
25、entions, millions of reusable bags designed to replace the need for traditional plastic shopping bags, will also end up in landfills.Another point to consider, not all reusable bags are equal in terms of their recyclability. There are a wide range of reusable bag options on the market, and reusable
26、bags tend to be made of more than one material to give the bag added reinforcement (耐用) and added street fashion. On a life cycle basis, stronger, heavier bags-no matter what material they are made of-will have a more severe environmental effect. Thats because heavier bags use more resources to prod
27、uce as well as distribute.Just like plastic bags did, reusable bags multiply rapidly. Used for promotional (促销的)purposes and marketing of all kinds, reusable bags growing popularity means bags that have been used very little (or not at all) can be found piled in streets, in garbage cans in city park
28、s, and basically everywhere. Therefore, consumers have come to see them as disposable, defeating their very purpose.In the end, the best practice for reusable bags is to have no half measures: Either use them all the time or dont use them at all. Using a reusable bag once or twice, and then throwing
29、 it away, doesnt do the environment any favors.24What can we learn from the passage?APlastic bags are refused by environmentalists.B. Shops in America have limited the use of plastic bags.C. The need of strong and fashionable reusable bags is more than the supply.D. Reusable bags demand more resourc
30、es to produce and recycle than expected.25. The words “very purpose in Paragraph 6 refer to the intention of _.A. being left in landfillsB. being used as much as possibleC. replacing plastic bagsD. promoting goods on the market26. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. How
31、 to Recycle Reusable BagsB. Disadvantages of Plastic BagsC. Reusable Bags? Think Twice!D. Plastic Bags, Less Popular?27. Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage?I: Introduction CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point (次要点) C: ConclusionA. B. C. D. CDid you know that you
32、 have been involved in the largest research study in the United States but you never agreed to join in it? Thats because since 1996 youand basically everyone you knowhave been eating genetically modified (GM, 转基因) foods.GM foods are made by forcing a piece of DNA from a totally different species int
33、o the DNA of a plant or animal. This method creates a whole new species of plant that would have never existed in nature. Most soybeans, corn and cotton are genetically modified. Products such as oil and sugar are created from these crops and added to processed foods. This explains why nearly 80 per
34、cent of processed and most fast foods contain genetically modified organisms (GMOs).The question is, are GMOs safe for us and the environment? Actually, the answers are not clear. There are no long-term studies showing that GMOs are safe for humans and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not
35、 do its own safety testing of GMOS. Instead, the biotech companies that are trying to make money do their own safety testing, which the FDA only reviews. However, there are animal studies with negative findings, including damage in some body parts and immune system changes. It is clear we need more
36、research in this area.The environment is another problem. What are the results when a genetically modified plant crossbreeds with other plants? Do we really want to change the face of plant life with unknown results for the benefit of a few large companies?The bottom line is that we have a product i
37、n our food supply with unknown health and environmental problems. At the very least, we should have these foods labeled (贴标签). However, try as we might, we cannot make that happen in the U.S. Even though 9 out of 10 people want them labeled, the biotech companies and food producers do not. If their
38、products are beneficial and safe, why not label them? Why not be proud of your products? Over 60 countries such as China label GMOs and some countries ban them. Why cant we have transparency in our food supply?Washingtons Initiative 522, a bill suggesting labeling products with GMOs, will help us ge
39、t the transparency we desire. But companies such as Monsanto, Dupont Pioneer will pay millions to create misleading and incorrect ads insisting that labeling will cost money, hurt farmers, and isnt necessary because GMOs are safe. The biggest fear of these companies is that once GMOs are labeled, we
40、 wont want to eat them anymore.I dont know about you, but I think if Washingtons Initiative 522 passes and genetically modified foods are labeled, it might change the face of American agriculture forever.28. What do we know about GM foods from Para.1 and 2?A. They are the source of most fast foods.B
41、. They are consumed by almost everyone in the world.C. They come from the longest research study in the USA.D. They are produced by changing the DNA of a plant or animal.29. What is the authors attitude towards the safety of GMOs?A. Doubtful.B. ObjectiveC. PositiveD. Uninterested30. In Para.5, the u
42、nderlined words “have transparency in” probably mean _.A. build upB. depend onC. cut offD. know about31. Why does the author write this passage?A. To call for more research on GM foods.B. To persuade companies to label GM foods.C. To gain support for Washingtons Initiative 522.D. To demand FDA to de
43、velop a food testing system.第二节(共5题;每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。What Is Emotional Eating?Emotional eating is when people use food as a way to deal with feelings instead of satisfying hunger. _32_ Have you ever finished a whole bag of chips out of boredom or downed cookie a
44、fter cookie while preparing for a big test? But when done a lotespecially without realizing itemotional eating can affect weight, health, and overall well-being.Not many of us make the connection between eating and our feelings._33_ One of the biggest myths about emotional eating is that its caused
45、by negative feelings. Yes, people often turn to food when theyre stressed out, lonely, sad, anxious, or bored. But emotional eating can be linked to positive feelings too, like the romance of sharing dessert on Valentines Day or the celebration of a holiday feast. Sometimes emotional eating is tied
46、to major life events, like a death or a divorce. _34_Emotional eating patterns can be learned: A child who is given candy after a big achievement may grow up using candy as a reward for a job well done. _35_ Its not easy to “unlearn” patterns of emotional eating. But it is possible. And it starts wi
47、th an awareness of whats going on.Were all emotional eaters to a degree. But for some people emotional eating can be a real problem, causing serious weight gain or other problems. The trouble with emotional eating is that once the pleasure of eating is gone, the feelings that cause it remain. And yo
48、u often may feel worse about eating the amount or type of food you like. _36_Next time you reach for a snack, wait and think about which type of hunger is driving it.A. Believe it or not, weve all been there.B. One study found that people who eat food like pizza become happy afterwards.C. Understanding what drives emotional eating can help people take steps to change it.D. Boys seem to prefer hot, homemade comfort meals,
