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 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 I 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. 1．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. 2．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. 3．What does the underlined word “foul” probably mean in the last paragraph? A．Clean. B．Heat. C．Pollute. D．Consume. 4．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. 六、阅读理解七选五 If you’re a hiker or outdoor person, you know how important it can be to bring a snack with you on a long outdoor adventure. 5 But when you’re done with your apple, you can just throw the core away, right? While your banana skin or apple core will degrade when exposed to nature, it is not necessarily safe for the environment for you to do so. Here’s why. 6 If you’ve ever had a compost heap (堆肥堆), you know that when you throw something in the compost, it takes some time to biodegrade and turn into rich, dark soil. Compost heaps are often the most ideal places for this organic matter to break down. 7 Next, leaving food waste could harm wildlife. If you leave an apple core near your favorite outdoor adventure spot, a deer may come along and decide to finish eating it for you. 8 However, feeding wildlife increases habituation. If an animal becomes habituated to finding apple cores along roadsides, for example, it increases the likelihood that it will be hurt or killed by passing traffic. Ultimately, the best practice when experiencing nature is to pack out everything that you pack in, even biodegradable food waste. Humans have systems in place for dealing with the quantity of organic food waste we produce. 9 A．The deer may be happy with the find. B．Do remember to bring your favorite snack. C．First, food waste might not degrade quickly. D．Finally, this might attract a group of wild deer. E．The ground near your favorite local hiking path is not. F．Nature, on the other hand, may have a harder time dealing with our waste. G．A banana, apple, or some other snack can make all the difference to how far you can go. 七、完形填空 As a child, I didn’t know about the benefits of fresh food. 10 , I considered 11 fish and fruit, bottled soft drinks and preserved snacks to be the most appetizing (开胃的) .

Luckily, the rain made the soil 18 , and before we knew it, we had finished digging the bed. Next came my favorite part: shopping for 19 and plants. By June, our plants, especially the tomatoes, were growing 20 , which was beyond our expectation. We had never tasted such fresh tomatoes; they were so sweet that you could almost taste the 21 in them. To give our friends gifts, we packed jars of our little organic tomatoes. We also 22 Italian pasta with our tomatoes and sliced ham. It reassured (使放心) us to know that we were eating health y and fresh produce. As long as we had the 23 to start and maintain the garden, we reaped a rewarding harvest in return. Thanks to the success of my vegetable garden, I can say that if the 24 of life is to be happy, I’m one little step closer. 10．A．Likewise B．Therefore C．Otherwise D．Instead 11．A．prevented B．protected C．canned D．prepared 12．A．special B．nutritious C．particular D．traditional 13．A．satisfied B．absent C．late D．willing 14．A．After B．Since C．As D．Before 15．A．refused B．decided C．afforded D．led 16．A．now that B．even though C．so that D．as long as 17．A．through B．across C．beyond D．over 18．A．harder B．deeper C．softer D．heavier 19．A．flowers B．fruits C．seeds D．trees 20．A．at risk B．with care C．in excitement D．like crazy 21．A．sunshine B．cloud C．wind D．tear 22．A．supplied B．offered C．provided D．cooked 23．A．fact B．doubt C．force D．willpower 24．A．way B．goal C．quality D．standard 八、语法填空 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。 What is a “cat coffee shop”?

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.” (该公司强调，他们的产品Remilk不是牛奶替代品，而是真正的乳制品。它采用一种名为微生物发酵的特殊工艺制成，是在实验室而非奶牛体内生产的。最终产品非常健康。Remilk的首席执行官阿维夫·沃尔夫说：“我们以一种非常简单的方式获取编码牛奶蛋白的基因。”“该基因作为其所编码蛋白质生产的说明书。因此，我们将该基因插入我们开发的一种微生物中，它指示我们的微生物以一种非常有效的方式生产特定的蛋白质。”)”可知，本段主要介绍了Remilk的生产过程，包括其采用的微生物发酵技术以及如何通过基因技术生产特定的蛋白质。因此，第二段主要关于Remilk的生产。故选A。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段中““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.” (沃尔夫说：“Remilk的成立使命是停止使用动物来生产我们的食物，因为作为乳制品爱好者，我们意识到放弃牛奶不是一种选择。”“但今天的牛奶价格不合理。乳制品行业对我们的星球、我们的健康和我们的动物都具有破坏性，而且根本不可持续。”)”可知，沃尔夫表示，Remilk的成立使命是停止使用动物来生产食物，因为乳制品行业对地球、健康和动物都具有破坏性，且不可持续。由此可推知，Remilk的目标是生产无动物食品。故选C。 3．词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“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. (据世界自然基金会称，奶牛向大气中排放了大量的温室气体，导致全球变暖和气候变化，同时还会foul它们周围的空气)”可知，根据世界自然基金会的说法，奶牛向大气中排放了大量的温室气体，导致全球变暖和气候变化，并污染了周围的空气。故划线词意思是“污染”。A. Clean.清洁；B. Heat.加热；C. Pollute.污染；D. Consume.消耗。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“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 I 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. (奶牛养殖的环境代价太高了。根据世界自然基金会的说法，奶牛向大气中排放了大量的温室气体，导致全球变暖和气候变化，并污染了周围的空气。奶牛养殖消耗了大量的水，而这些农场的粪便和肥料流入当地水道。根据该公司的说法，Remilk的生产只使用了生产牛奶所需资源的5%，产生的废物也只有生产牛奶的1%。他们通过100%无残忍的方式实现了这一点，这与奶牛场不同)”可推知，传统的奶牛养殖业对环境造成了巨大的破坏，包括排放温室气体、消耗大量水资源以及污染水道等，因此可以推断出传统的奶牛养殖业一点也不环保。故选B。 六、阅读理解七选五 If you’re a hiker or outdoor person, you know how important it can be to bring a snack with you on a long outdoor adventure. 5 But when you’re done with your apple, you can just throw the core away, right? While your banana skin or apple core will degrade when exposed to nature, it is not necessarily safe for the environment for you to do so. Here’s why. 6 If you’ve ever had a compost heap (堆肥堆), you know that when you throw something in the compost, it takes some time to biodegrade and turn into rich, dark soil. Compost heaps are often the most ideal places for this organic matter to break down. 7 Next, leaving food waste could harm wildlife. If you leave an apple core near your favorite outdoor adventure spot, a deer may come along and decide to finish eating it for you. 8 However, feeding wildlife increases habituation. If an animal becomes habituated to finding apple cores along roadsides, for example, it increases the likelihood that it will be hurt or killed by passing traffic. Ultimately, the best practice when experiencing nature is to pack out everything that you pack in, even biodegradable food waste. Humans have systems in place for dealing with the quantity of organic food waste we produce. 9 A．The deer may be happy with the find. B．Do remember to bring your favorite snack. C．First, food waste might not degrade quickly. D．Finally, this might attract a group of wild deer. E．The ground near your favorite local hiking path is not. F．Nature, on the other hand, may have a harder time dealing with our waste. G．A banana, apple, or some other snack can make all the difference to how far you can go. 【答案】5．G 6．C 7．E 8．A 9．F 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要解释了为什么不能将果核、果皮等残渣扔在自然环境中。 5．根据空前“If you’re a hiker or outdoor person, you know how important it can be to bring a snack with you on a long outdoor adventure.(如果你是一个徒步旅行者或户外爱好者，你知道在漫长的户外探险中带零食有多重要)”和空后“But when you're done with your apple, you can just throw the core away, right?(但当你吃完苹果后，你可以直接扔掉果核，对吧？)”可知，空前提到了在漫长的户外探险中带零食的重要性，空后提出吃完苹果会将直接扔掉果核，故G项“一个香蕉、苹果或其他零食可以决定你能走多远”符合，承接前文，强调户外活动带零食的重要性，且引出后文关于仍苹果核的话题。故选G项。 6．根据空后“If you’ve ever had a compost heap (堆肥堆) , you know that when you throw something in the compost, it takes some time to biodegrade and turn into rich, dark soil.(如果你曾经有过堆肥堆，你知道当你把东西扔进堆肥时，它需要一些时间来生物降解并变成肥沃的土壤)”可知，空后提到将垃圾扔进堆肥，需要花费一些时间来生物降解，故C项“首先，食物残渣可能不会快速降解”作为本段的主旨句，说明食物降解需要时间。故选C项。 7．根据空前“Compost heaps are often the most ideal places for this organic matter to break down.(堆肥堆通常是这种有机物质分解的最理想场所)”可知，空前提到堆肥堆是有机物质分解的最理想的场所，故E项“你最喜欢的徒步路径附近的地面不是”与堆肥形成对比，说明自然环境不适合降解。故选E项。 8．根据空前“If you leave an apple core near your favorite outdoor adventure spot, a deer may come along and decide to finish eating it for you.(如果你在你喜欢的户外探险地点附近留下一个苹果核，一只鹿可能会过来决定帮你吃掉它)”可知，空前提到鹿可能会吃掉你留下的食物残渣，故A项“鹿可能会对这个发现感到高兴”承接前文，并与后文“However, feeding wildlife increases habituation.(然而，喂养野生动物会增加它们的习惯化)”构成转折关系。故选A项。 9．根据空前“Humans have systems in place for dealing with the quantity of organic food waste we produce.(人类有系统处理我们产生的大量有机食物残渣)”可知，前文提到人类有处理食物残渣的系统，故F项“另一方面，自然可能更难处理我们的垃圾”与人类系统形成对比，人类有处理食物残渣的系统，但自然很难处理我们的垃圾。故选F项。 七、完形填空 As a child, I didn’t know about the benefits of fresh food. 10 , I considered 11 fish and fruit, bottled soft drinks and preserved snacks to be the most appetizing (开胃的) .

We also 22 Italian pasta with our tomatoes and sliced ham. It reassured (使放心) us to know that we were eating health y and fresh produce. As long as we had the 23 to start and maintain the garden, we reaped a rewarding harvest in return. Thanks to the success of my vegetable garden, I can say that if the 24 of life is to be happy, I’m one little step closer. 10．A．Likewise B．Therefore C．Otherwise D．Instead 11．A．prevented B．protected C．canned D．prepared 12．A．special B．nutritious C．particular D．traditional 13．A．satisfied B．absent C．late D．willing 14．A．After B．Since C．As D．Before 15．A．refused B．decided C．afforded D．led 16．A．now that B．even though C．so that D．as long as 17．A．through B．across C．beyond D．over 18．A．harder B．deeper C．softer D．heavier 19．A．flowers B．fruits C．seeds D．trees 20．A．at risk B．with care C．in excitement D．like crazy 21．A．sunshine B．cloud C．wind D．tear 22．A．supplied B．offered C．provided D．cooked 23．A．fact B．doubt C．force D．willpower 24．A．way B．goal C．quality D．standard 【答案】 10．D 11．C 12．B 13．D 14．A 15．B 16．C 17．A 18．C 19．C 20．D 21．A 22．D 23．D 24．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲了作者认识到新鲜蔬菜和水果对身体有益后，自己和家人开垦了一个菜园种菜，在收获果实的同时，也收获了劳动的快乐。 10．考查副词词义辨析。句意：相反，我认为罐头鱼和罐装水果、瓶装软饮料以及腌制的小吃是最开胃的。A.

She aims to bring some joy back into the lives of her students, who range in age from 5 to 12．”可知，克兰西开通热线电话是为了给学生减压，使他们面对困难时能够振奋自己的精神状态。故选D项。 22．C　细节理解题。根据倒数第三段的“If you need to hear kids laughing with delight, press 4．”可知，通过该热线，来电者可以聆听孩子们的笑声。故选C项。 23．A　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“When the project first started, Clancy hoped the hotline would receive 100 calls an hour. But within two days the hotline was getting over 500 calls an hour. ”可知，该热线越来越受人欢迎。故选A项。 十二、阅读理解七选五　 Important Things to Know When Dining Out　 Cultural dining etiquette(礼节) might surprise you with some of its important rules. __24_. Knowing some tips will help ensure that you have an enjoyable meal with friends or family—no matter where you are in the world.

People in Thailand generally use their forks only to push food onto their spoons. Making Requests __27_.

People in France expect you to eat with a utensil in each hand. ”及下文“instead preferring to use their hands”可知，此处在讲述不同国家就餐时习惯使用哪只手的问题。由此可知，C项“Mexicans consider it inappropriate to eat with utensils ”符合语境，与下文形成转折关系。故选C。 27．G　根据本段小标题“Making Requests”可知，本段主要讲述的是用餐时提请求的问题。根据下文“In Portugal，this would be a serious mistake，because it shows the chef that you don’t like their seasoning skills. Similarly，in Italy，never ask for extra cheese to add to your food. ”可推知，在一些国家，用餐时提出要求是很无礼的。由此可知，G项“It may seem like simple request to ask for salt and pepper at a meal (吃饭时要盐和胡椒看似很简单)”符合此处语境，其中request是关键词，说明在用餐时提出一些我们看来很平常的要求在某些国家是无礼的。故选G。 28．B　根据下文“…the more comfortable you’ll begin to feel with its foreign cultural practices. ”可推知，此处指在一个国家待得越久，就会越习惯当地习俗。且此处是“the＋比较级，the＋比较级”结构，B项“The more time you spend in any given country (你在某个国家待的时间越长)”符合文意，引出下文。故选B。 十三、语法填空　 As I tried describing Thanksgiving Day to my in－laws(姻亲) in China, I could already see their eyes cloud over with 29．________(confuse) and sense the questions forming in their minds.
