In response to this demand for transparency, cities like Shanghai have begun implementing food grading systems. This guide aims to provide insight into how these systems work, their benefits, and how consumers can use this information to make informed choices. The Food Grading System Explained: The food grading system is a public health initiative designed to classify food and beverage items based on their nutritional content. The system typically uses a letter grading scale, such as A, B, C, and D, where A represents the healthiest options and D indicates products high in sugars, saturated fats, trans fats, and non-sugar sweeteners. How It Works: Nutritional Analysis: Foods and beverages are analyzed for their content of key nutrients and non- nutrients that can affect health when consumed in excess. Grading Criteria: The grading criteria consider not only the presence of harmful components like sugars and unhealthy fats but also the nutritional value, such as the presence of fiber, protein, and essential vitamins and minerals. Labeling: Once graded, products are labeled with their respective grades. This labeling is usually done at the point of sale, allowing consumers to make healthier choices with ease. Benefits of the Food Grading System: Empowering Consumers: The system empowers consumers by providing them with clear, at-a- glance information about the health impact of their food choices. Healthier Choices: By understanding the grading, consumers are more likely to choose higher- grade items, leading to improved dietary habits and public health. Encouraging Manufacturers: Food and beverage manufacturers are incentivized to improve the nutritional profile of their products to achieve better grades, which can boost sales and market competitiveness. Using the Food Grading System: As a consumer, you can utilize the food grading system in the following ways: Read Labels Carefully: Before making a purchase, take a moment to read the grade on the product's label. Opt for items with higher grades (A or B) whenever possible. Make Comparisons: Compare the grades of different products within the same category to choose the healthier option. Educate Others: Share your knowledge about the food grading system with friends and family to spread awareness and promote healthier eating habits. Conclusion: The food grading system is a powerful tool in the fight against diet-related health issues. By understanding and utilizing this system, consumers can take control of their dietary choices and contribute to a healthier society. As more cities and countries adopt similar initiatives, the global shift towards healthier food options becomes more attainable. This text is designed to be informative yet approachable, providing readers with a clear understanding of food grading systems and their implications for consumer choices. 21.What is the primary purpose of the food grading system according to the text? A. To increase sales for food manufacturers. B. To provide clear nutritional information for consumers. C. To reduce the production of unhealthy food items. D. To regulate food prices in the market. 22. Which of the following is NOT part of the criteria used for grading food and beverages in the system described? A. The presence of non-sugar sweeteners. B. The nutritional value of the product. C. The use of artificial coloring. D. The content of sugars and unhealthy fats. 23. What is the main idea of the informational text? A. The food grading system is a global initiative. B. The food grading system educates consumers on making healthier choices. C. The food grading system only applies to beverages. D. The food grading system is designed to improve the taste of food.

Known for their smartphones and a plethora of gadgets, Xiaomi set its sights on the electric vehicle (EV) market, a realm dominated by the likes of Tesla and BYD. The year was 2021, and the stage was set for a new chapter in Xiaomi's legacy with the announcement of their first electric car, the SU7. The SU7 was not just any car; it was a symbol of innovation and a testament to Xiaomi's commitment to the future. With a starting price point significantly lower than that of Tesla's Model 3, the SU7 aimed to disrupt the market with its affordability and impressive range of at least 700 kilometres on a single charge. This was a bold claim, one that pitted the SU7 against the best in the industry. The design of the SU7 was a masterpiece of aerodynamics and aesthetics, boasting a drag coefficient of Cd0.195, which was the lowest globally at the time. Its sleek, futuristic silhouette and spacious interior, complete with a 3000mm wheelbase, made it a head-turner and a comfortable ride. The car's interior was a continuation of Xiaomi's ethos of human-centred design, with a luxurious yet warm ambiance, digital dashboard, and a large central control screen that seamlessly integrated with Xiaomi's smart ecosystem Under the hood, the SU7 was powered by Xiaomi's HyperEngine, a motor that promised both efficiency and a thrilling acceleration. Coupled with Xiaomi's proprietary CTB (Cell to Body) technology, the car not only boasted an enhanced driving range but also a lower centre of gravity for improved stability The handling characteristics of the SU7 was nothing short of exceptional, thanks to its advanced chassis technology and full-stack in-house intelligent driving features. Whether navigating city streets or cruising on highways, the SU7 offered precise steering, stable suspension, and intelligent driving assistance that instilled confidence and ease The launch of the SU7 was met with an overwhelming response. Within minutes of opening pre-orders, the SU7 had already broken records with thousands of orders pouring in, a testament to the public's excitement and trust in Xiaomi's foray into the EV market. This was not just a car; it was a statement, a declaration of Xiaomi's ambition to become one of the world's top five car manufacturers within the next 15 to 20 years The story of the SU7 is one of courage and determination, led by Xiaomi's founder, Lei Jun. He personally drove the car, learned to race, and participated in winter and summer tests, ensuring that every aspect of the car met the high standards he set. His hands-on approach and belief in the team's passion for cars were instrumental in the SU7's success. In the annals of automotive history, the Xiaomi SU7 will be remembered as a trailblazer, a car that not only captured the imagination of the public but also redefined what it means to be a high- performance electric vehicle. It is a story of a company that dared to dream and, in doing so, created a legacy that will echo through the ages. 24. What is the main idea of the second paragraph? A. The price and range of the Xiaomi SU7. B. The design and interior features of the Xiaomi SU7. C. The performance and technology of the Xiaomi SU7. D. The public's response to the launch of the Xiaomi SU7. 25. What can be inferred about Xiaomi's strategy with the SU7 from the passage? A. Xiaomi aimed to compete with high-end luxury car brands. B. Xiaomi intended to enter the EV market with a high-priced flagship model. C. Xiaomi's goal was to offer an affordable yet high-performance EV to disrupt the market. D. Xiaomi's primary focus was on designing a car with the lowest possible price. 26. Based on the context, what does the term "CTB technology" most likely refer to? A. A type of high-performance engine. B. A technology that improves battery life. C. A chassis design for better stability. D. A technology that integrates the battery cells with the car's body structure. 27.

The story of Xiaomi's entry into the electric vehicle market with the SU7. D. The global impact of Xiaomi's HyperEngine technology. C Science should guide policy, but caution is needed when technologies like CRISPR have the potential to exclude rather than assist people to live their lives. CRISPR can be used to treat disease. Yet the far-reaching, more worrying promise of this technology— one about which scientists seem at once excited and cautious— lies in its ability to eliminate from the gene pool what medical science identifies as faulty or abnormal genes that cause difference in individual people. Certainly, goes the logic of CRISPR’s promise, the goal of ridding future generations of terrible diseases that cause suffering and death and exhaust resources, seems an unquestionable enterprise. This logic is consistent with wider societal views. The idea that ridding society of genetic differences that count as defect is an undeniable“good” continues to be pervasive. Editing out a gene-linked condition, supporters may argue, is different from editing out a person, and curing disease is a good thing. But our genetic conditions are not simply entities that can be clipped away from us and our genetic conditions form a fundamental part of who we are. Using genome manipulation tools and performing genetic selection is equal to a new form of eugenic thinking grounded in what the communications studies scholar James L. Chemey calls “common sense” ableism, a belief system that allows people to simultaneously deny any commitment to distasteful eugenic principles while also holding them up. Ultimately,“common sense” ableism embodies a similar goal of cleansing unacceptable human variations that the campaigns to eliminate the supposedly inferior have held in the past. People with“bad” genes shouldn’t be edited out of existence in some version of a utopian future. Evaluating the quality of life of another person is morally questionable in a society based on the concept that all people are of equal value regardless of their individual differences. Expanding diversity in all its forms, including disability, strengthens the human community ethically and biologically because it opens the public and private sphere to a variety of perspectives, experiences and ideas to live together with mutual flourishing. Genome editing is powerful in reshaping medical treatments, but it can also be harmful by editing out the kinds of people that medical science, and the society it has shaped, categorize as diseased or genetically contaminated— people who are understood as having bad genes. We should be reminded that bad genes don’t necessarily lead to bad lives, just as good genes don’t necessarily lead to good lives. If CRISPR is put to use to eliminate rather than to treat genetic difference, we as a society would essentially instrumentalize this moralistic and reductionist assumption.. 28. According to the passage, which of the following best describes the author's view on the use of CRISPR to eliminate genetic defects? A. The author fully supports the use of CRISPR for the betterment of human health. B. The author is concerned about the potential misuse of CRISPR to exclude individuals with genetic differences. C. The author believes that CRISPR should only be used for treating severe diseases with clear genetic causes. D. The author argues that CRISPR technology is inherently flawed and should not be used at all. 29. What can be inferred from the author's discussion about "common sense" ableism? A. The author believes that ableism is a rational approach to genetic diversity. B. The author suggests that "common sense" ableism is a subtle form of discrimination that is widely accepted. C. The author thinks that "common sense" ableism is a new concept introduced by James L. Chemey. D. The author argues that "common sense" ableism is a positive development in the field of genetics. 30. The author employs the term "utopian future" to describe a society that edits out "bad" genes. What is the rhetorical effect of this term? A. It evokes a sense of idealism and progress in genetic engineering. B. It highlights the potential dangers of overreaching in genetic modification. C. It suggests that such a future is impossible and therefore not worth discussing. D. It emphasizes the author's support for a future free of genetic diseases. 31. What is the main argument of the passage? A. CRISPR technology has the potential to cause more harm than good if not used cautiously. B. Genetic diversity should be preserved because it enriches society ethically and biologically. C. The societal view that genetic defects should be eliminated is morally and ethically flawed. D. The use of CRISPR to treat diseases is a clear and unquestionable good. D “Assume you are wrong.” The advice came from Brian Nosek, a psychology professor, who was offering a strategy for pursuing better science. To understand the context for Nosek’s advice, we need to take a step back to the nature of science itself. You see despite what many of us learned in elementary school, there is no single scientific method. Just as scientific theories become elaborated and change, so do scientific methods. But methodological reform hasn’t come without some fretting and friction. Nasty things have been said by and about methodological reformers. Few people like having the value of their life’s work called into question. On the other side, few people are good at voicing criticisms in kind and constructive ways. So, part of the challenge is figuring out how to bake critical self-reflection into the culture of science itself, so it unfolds as a welcome and integrated part of the process, and not an embarrassing sideshow. What Nosek recommended was a strategy for changing the way we offer and respond to critique. Assuming you are right might be a motivating force, sustaining the enormous effort that conducting scientific work requires. But it also makes it easy to interpret criticisms as personal attacks. Beginning, instead, from the assumption you are wrong, a criticism is easier to interpret as a constructive suggestion for how to be less wrong— a goal that your critic presumably shares. One worry about this approach is that it could be demoralizing for scientists. Striving to be less wrong might be a less effective motivation than the promise of being right. Another concern is that a strategy that works well within science could backfire when it comes to communicating science with the public. Without an appreciation for how science works, it’s easy to take uncertainty or disagreements as marks against science, when in fact they reflect some of the very features of science that make it our best approach to reaching reliable conclusions about the world. Science is reliable because it responds to evidence: as the quantity and quality of our evidence improves, our theories can and should change, too. Despite these worries, I like Nosek’s suggestion because it builds in cognitive humility along with a sense that we can do better. It also builds in a sense of community— we’re all in the same boat when it comes to falling short of getting things right. Unfortunately, this still leaves us with an untested hypothesis: that assuming one is wrong can change community norms for the better, and ultimately support better science and even, perhaps, better decisions in life. I don’t know if that’s true. In fact, I should probably assume that it’s wrong. But with the benefit of the scientific community and our best methodological tools, I hope we can get it less wrong, together. 32. According to Paragraph 1, what is the core message of Brian Nosek's advice? A. Scientists should always be confident in their methods. B. The scientific method is unchanging and universal. C. There is a need for a more self-reflective approach in the scientific community. D. Methodological reformers are often criticized unfairly. 33. In the context of the article, what does the term "methodological reformers" most likely refer to? A. People who are against scientific reforms. B. Scientists who advocate for changes in scientific methods. C. Individuals who are resistant to change in their scientific work. D. Critics who question the value of scientific methods. 34. What is a potential benefit of adopting the "assume you are wrong" strategy according to the author? A. It can reduce personal attacks in scientific debates. B. It may lead to a decrease in the motivation of scientists. C. It will make scientific conclusions more reliable. D. It can improve the public's understanding of science. 35.Considering the "assume you are wrong" strategy, which of the following applications in non- scientific fields is most likely to align with the principles discussed in the article? A. Encouraging business leaders to always trust their initial instincts in making decisions. B. Training politicians to be more defensive about their policies to avoid admitting faults. C. Promoting a culture in educational institutions where teachers and students actively seek feedback to improve learning outcomes. D. Advising journalists to stick to their narratives regardless of opposing views to maintain consistency. 第二节 (共 5小题;每小题 2.5分,满分 12.5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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Artificial-intelligence systems like Grammarly, an automated grammar-checker, are trained with data. For instance, translation software is fed sentences translated by humans, Grammarly's training data involve a large number of standard error-free sentences and human-corrected sentences. 36 The software then looks at a user's writing: if a line of words seems ungrammatical, it tries to spot how the generally supposed mistake is most closely similar to one from its training inputs. 37 Advances in language technology have been impressive in, for example, speech recognition, which involves another sort of statistical guess—whether or not a stretch of sound matches a certain line of words. 38 It can rate the tone of an email before you send it, after being trained on texts that have been assessed by humans, for example as “ admiring” or “confident”. But grammar is the real magic of language, joining words into structures, joining those structures into sentences, and doing so in a way that maps onto meaning. 39 Computers can analyze grammatical sentences fairly well, labeling things like nouns and verb phrases. But they struggle with sentences that are difficult to analyze, precisely because they are ungrammatical— in other words, written by the kind of person who needs Grammarly. 40 To correct such writing requires knowing what the writer intended. But computers don't work in meaning or intention, they work in formulae. Humans, by contrast, can usually understand even sentences that are not grammatically correct, because of the ability to guess the contents of other minds. Grammar-checking computers illustrate not how bad humans are with language, but just how good. A. Grammarly can seem to miss more errors than it marks. B. One Grammarly feature that works fairly well is feeing analysis. C. To correct such writing requires knowing what the writer intended. D. Grammarly has some obvious strengths in understanding meaning or intentions. E. Computers outpace humans at problems that can be solved with pure maths. F. Developers also add certain rules to the patterns Grammarly has taught itself. G. In this decisive structure—meaning connection, machines are no match for humans. 第三部分语言知识运用 第一节 (共 15小题； 每小题 1分，满分 15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C和 D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最 佳选项。 Heads or Tails? Careful: It’s not 50-50 The phrase “coin toss” is a classic synonym for randomness. But since the 18th century, mathematicians have _________ that even fair coins tend to land on one side slightly more often than the other. Proving this tiny bias, _________, would require hundreds of thousands of carefully recorded coin flips, making laboratory tests a logistical (后勤的，组织协调的) _________.↳ František Bartoš, currently a Ph.D. candidate studying the research methods of psychology at the University of Amsterdam, became interested in this _________ four years ago. He couldn’t _________ enough volunteers to investigate it at first. But after he began his Ph.D. studies, he tried again, recruiting 47 volunteers from six countries. Multiple weekends of coin flipping later, including one 12-hour marathon _________, the team performed 350,757 tosses, breaking the previous record of 40,000. With one side initially upward, the flipped coin landed with the same side facing _________ as before the toss 50.8 percent of the time. The large number of throws allows _________ to conclude that the nearly 1 percent bias isn’t a fluke (侥幸). “We can be quite sure there is a bias in coin flips after this data set,” Bartoš says. The leading theory explaining the _________ advantage comes from a 2007 physics study by Stanford University statisticians, whose calculations predicted a same-side bias of 51 percent. From the moment a coin is launched into the air, its entire track — including whether it lands on heads or tails — can be calculated by the laws of __________. The researchers determined that airborne coins don’t turn around their symmetrical axis (对称轴); __________, they tend to move off-center, which causes them to spend a little more time high in the air with their initial “up” side on top. For day-to-day decisions, coin tosses are as good as random because a 1 percent bias isn’t __________ with just a few coin flips, says statistician Ameli, who wasn’t involved in the new research. Still, the study’s conclusions should eliminate any lasting doubt regarding the coin flip’s slight bias. “This is great experiment-based evidence __________ the bias,” she says. It isn’t difficult to prevent this bias from influencing your coin-toss matches; simply __________ the coin’s starting position before flipping it should do the trick. But if your friends are __________ the tiny bias, you may as well benefit from your slight advantage. After all, 51 percent odds beat a casino’s house advantage. “If you asked me to bet on a coin,” Bartoš says, “why wouldn’t I give myself a 1 percent bias?” 41.A．confirmed B．denied C．Recorded D．suspected 42.A．therefore B．however C．for example D．vice versa 43.A．nightmare B．context C．Intervention D．delay 44.A．coinage B．Discipline C．Challenge D．phrase 45.A．cooperate with B．round up C．shrug aside D．count on 46.A．analysis B．race C．interview D．session 47.A．upward B．evenly C．Downward D．uniformly 48.A．Volunteers B．gamblers C．Psychologists D．statisticians 49.A．Accidental B．dominant C．subtle D．prejudiced 50.A．Mechanics B．relativity C．geometry D．chemistry 51.A．moreover B．instead C．Likewise D．initially 54.A．Insignificant B．Accessible C．inclusive D．perceptible 53.A．reversing B．integrating with C．backing up D．rejecting 54.A．Concealing B．shifting C．Perceiving D．anchoring 55.A．favourable to B．opposed to C．unaware of D．suspicious of 第二节 (共 10小题；每小题 1.5分，满分 15分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入 1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct.

The fairest woman in the world was Helen. 56 was the fame of her beauty that there was not a single young prince in all of Greece that didn’t wish to marry her. When her suitors assembled in her home to make a formal proposal for her hand there were so many from such powerful families that her reputed father King Tyndareus, was afraid to select one from amongst them, fearing that the others would unite against him. He therefore demanded first a solemn path from all 57 they would stand up for the cause of Helen’s husband, whoever he might be, if any wrong was done to him through his marriage. Then Tyndareus chose Menelaus, the brother of Agamemnon, and made him King of Sparta as well. So matters stood when Paris gave the golden apple to Aphrodite. The Goddess of Love and Beauty knew very well where the most beautiful woman on earth was 58 (find). She led the young shepherd straight to Sparta, where Menelaus and Helen received him graciously as their guest. The ties between guest and host were strong. But Paris broke that sacred bond. Menelaus, trusting completely to it, left Paris in his home and went off to Crete. Menelaus returned to find Helen gone, and he called upon all of Greece to help recover her. The chieftains responded 59 they were obliged to do. They eagerly arrived for the great expedition, 60 (cross) the sea and lay mighty Troy in ashes. Two of the first rank, however, were missing: Odysseus. King of the Island of Ithaca, and Achilles, the son of Peleus and the sea nymph Thetis. Odysseus, who was one of 61 (shrewd) men in Greece, did not want to leave his house and family to embark on a romantic adventure overseas for the sake of a faithless woman. He pretended, therefore, that he had gone mad, and when a messenger from the Greek Army had arrived, the King was plowing a field and sowing it with salt 62 seed. But the messenger seized Odysseus’ little son and put him directly in the way of the plow. Instantly the father turned the plow aside, thus 63 (prove) that he had all his wits about him. However reluctant, he had to join the Army. Achilles was kept back by his mother. She sent him to the court of Lycomedes and made him wear women’s clothing, hiding him among the maidens. Odysseus was dispatched by the chieftains to bring him out. Disguised as a peddler he went to the court 64 Achilles was said to be, with gay ornaments in his pack such as women love, and also some fine weapons. While the girls flocked around the trinkets, Achilles fingered each of the swords and daggers. Odysseus knew him then, and he had no trouble at all in making him disregard what his mother had said and 65 (go) to the Greek camp with him.↳ So the great fleet made ready. 第四部分写作(共两节，满分 40分) 第一节 (满分 15分) 66．你校英文报征文，请结合以下四幅 图片中的任意一幅或几幅，按要求用英 语写一篇 100词左右的作文。 要求：1.题目自拟； 2.简述图片中的现象； 3.发表自己的看法。 ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________ 第二节 (满分 25分) 67.阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 I was twenty then, teaching a class of thirty students in Toronto including Mike, a 10-year-old street kid. Having lost his father and mother, he lived with a mentally-disturbed grandmother.↳ He was always hungry, so each day I’d take him for breakfast before class. Each noon after I shared my lunch with him, I taught him new skills—using a microscope, constructing a camera etc. One day Mike told me of his dream. Most kids in the class wanted to be doctors, teachers or some such thing, but not Mike! His desire was to be a gangster (强盗)! And he was serious about it. I believed all children had a gift for what he wanted to be. If he wanted to be a gangster, I’d do all I could to help him become the very best “gangster”. I had a plan. Every Saturday after we had breakfast, I took him to the Law Library of the city. I explained to him a good gangster had to know something about criminal law, and reading up on law was the only way to learn. His young mind was interested, and he dove in. That was how we spent each Saturday morning that year. I’d drop him off at the law library. Three hours later, I’d return, pick him up for lunch and after a review of his morning’s work, take him home. The following year I taught in another school far away, which prevented me continuing to participate physically with him on Saturday mornings. But I provided him with public transportation tickets so he could keep up his regular study at the library. Later I got married and moved to London. Sadly, and to my great regret, I lost contact with Mike. Years passed. I often thought of him, wondering what had become of him. Then, one day, I was back in Toronto on business, looking up the number of a former colleague in the telephone directory, and there, Mike’s name as part of a title of “JUDGES and LAWYERS” danced off the page into my eyes. 注意： 1.续写词数应为 150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I wondered, “Could it be him?” ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ When we were able to get together, he told me his road to the law. ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ 听力参考答案及原稿： 本卷听力负责人：Eli Stewart Wendecking 题号 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 答案 C C A B C C A A B C 题号 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 答案 A B C A B D B B A B 1．C 【原文】W: With Scott and Tina both up for the same job, I feel nervous when they’re in the same room. M: I just try to act normally, like tell them a joke or something. That usually breaks the ice. 2．C 【原文】M: The music and flowers are lovely. W: Yes, I hope the coffee is good too. 3．A 【原文】W: I need to borrow some books for the class. I hope the library will be open this Saturday. M: Here are the library opening hours. It is open from 8 am to 6 pm on weekdays, and it closes two hours earlier on weekends. 4．B 【原文】W:We are trying to start a club. M:How is it going? W:We were hoping for at least fifteen people, but only two signed up. 5．C 【原文】M: I think online shopping will replace going out to shops. Online stores can offer much lower prices than the high-street stores. W: I doubt it. I think we’ll always want to touch some things physically and see them before we buy them. 6．C 7．A 【原文】M: Emily got into trouble at school yesterday. W: No! You’re joking? Whatever for? M: Well, apparently she was accused of breaking a window. W: No! I don’t believe it. What did she say? M: She denied it, of course, and I think the headmaster believed her story. W: Well, of course he did. How could anyone suspect Emily of lying? She always disciplines herself and never causes any trouble. 8．A 9．B 【原文】M: Have you watched the Paris Olympics lately? W: Yes! I watched a tennis match and a badminton competition yesterday. Those sports test both physical and mental endurance. M: I like tennis, too. But I didn’t watch the match as there was a time conflict between it and the basketball match. They were broadcast at the same time. You know, I’m a keen basketball fan. There will be the men’s basketball final tomorrow morning. I wouldn’t miss it for the world. W: I see. The women’s table tennis final will take place this evening. You might be interested in it. M: I’ll be celebrating my grandpa’s birthday then. I’d better catch the men’s table tennis final tomorrow night. 10．C 11．A 12．B 【原文】M: What do you think of yesterday’s singing competition? W: To be honest, I’m quite disappointed. M: Really? W: Actually, I enjoyed most of the songs, but I just couldn’t accept the result. M: You mean the judges? W: Well, most listeners including me didn’t understand why the judges didn’t like Mary. It was such a shock when they announced the winner was Amber. M: Ah, no wonder Mary’s sister Linda was so upset. W: Exactly, Mary had the most beautiful voice, didn’t she? M: Well, Mary and Amber were indeed quite close. I guess it was hard for the judges. W: I wish I could agree with you. But I still think Mary was the best. 13．C 14．A 15．B 16．D 【原文】Brent: Hello, Alison. Alison: Hi, Brent. You look great! Are you on a diet? Brent: No, but I am getting more exercise. And I did quit smoking recently. Alison: Quit smoking? I thought you said smoking helped relieve your stress. Brent: It did at first. But after I became more aware of the harmful effects of smoking, my perspective changed. Alison: It must have been something pretty serious. Brent: It was. I’ve been smoking for years, but last month I started coughing really badly. Alison: That’s scary. It’s true that smoking can cause lung cancer, heart disease and other diseases. Brent: I had read about that stuff and didn’t think it applied to me until I got that cough. Then I realized I should take it seriously. Alison: And now that you’ve quit, the people around you won’t be affected by secondhand smoke. Brent: I know! Recently, I’ve been on my friend’s case to quit smoking now that she’s pregnant. Alison: That’s very dangerous. The baby could get asthma which will affect its entire life. Brent: I read a report by the World Health Organization (WHO) that said a top cause of death for children under the age of five is air pollution. Much of that is from secondhand smoke. Alison: Oh, what else? Brent: The report also said that secondhand smoke and air pollution result in about 570,000 child deaths around the world each year. The true harm of tobacco smoke is that it is a silent killer. Have you ever heard of thirdhand smoke? Alison: You mean the poisonous chemicals from tobacco smoke that are left on things like clothes and furniture? Brent: Exactly. So there’s really no avoiding the poisons left behind by smoking. Alison: Even using a fan or air conditioner can’t get rid of the remains. The poison remains on surfaces for at least six months and is especially dangerous for babies and young children. Brent: I used to think smoking was just a matter of personal choice. But obviously there are more things to consider. Alison: I can imagine quitting smoking wasn’t easy. But you made the right choice. Good for you. 17. Why hadn’t Brent intended to give up smoking? 18. What is the main reason of death for children under the age of five according to a report ? 19. Why did Brent say tobacco smoke is a silent killer? 20. What does third-hand smoke mean according to the conversation? 17．B 18．B 19．A 20．B 【原文】 W: Isidora Djukic is a biology and chemistry student at John Carroll University. She never thought that one day she would be in a classroom where an English professor asked her to play a board game to learn about climate change. Djukic is taking a biology class called Climate Change: Global Impacts. At the same time, she is taking an English class called Environmental Literature. Her university requires students to take two connected classes that examine the same subject in different ways. Debra Rosenthal is the English professor. At first, Djukic said she was uncertain about Rosenthal’s board game idea. “I was just thinking the idea could be interesting. But how fun is this idea actually going to be? Can we really learn about climate change just by playing a board game? What specifically can we get from such a game?” Rosenthal bought six copies of a game called “Solutions”. The goal is to pick cards and then add them to the game board in a way that helps reduce global temperatures. Students do not compete against each other. They work together and try to come up with a solution so that the planet is not destroyed. The game is different from some other board games such as “Monopoly”, where the goal is to win. Students read materials and then discuss their ideas. In most classes, Rosenthal said, students laughed, disagreed and had to call for votes as a way to decide how to move forward in the game. Djukic said it was a way to have fun while also learning about such a serious subject. 答案第1页，共2页 答案第1页，共2页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
