B Is modern fruit cultivated (to be sweeter than in the past?The short answer is yes,though the longer answer is more complicated.Some of the most powerful evidence that fruit is sweeter than before comes from zoos. In 2018,it was reported that Melboume Zoo in Australia had stopped giving fruit to most of its animals because cultivated fruit was now so sweet that it was causing tooth decay (and weight gain.The monkeys at the zoo were provided with a lower-sugar vegetable-based diet instead of bananas. Among fruit cultivators,the word "quality"is now routinely used as an equal for "high in sugar"(though firmness,color and size are also considerations).In 2010,in an article looking at ways to enhance the sweetness of fruit using“nolecuiar(分子的)approaches',a group of plant scientists of the Republic of Korea wrote that“in general,the sugar content'of many fruits is now higher than before "owing to continuous selection and breeding. Modern apple varieties,the scientists noted,were on average sweeter than older ones Cultivation isn't the only reason that modern fruit is sweeter;there's also climate change.Research from Japan found that since the 1970s,with rising temperatures,Fuji apples (which were already a sweet variety)have become significantly sweeter and softer.The lead researcher,Toshihoko Sugiura,said that"if you could taste an apple harvested 30 years ago,you would feel the difference". It is sometimes claimed that the sweetness of modern fruit is not due to higher sugar content so much as the fact that the bitterness and sourness of wild fruit have been steadily cultivated out of it.There's a grain -but only a grain-of truth in this.Studies of wild apples do indeed suggest that some ancient varieties were just as high in sugar as a modern Pink Lady or Honeycrisp.The difference is that there was much wider variation in sugar content across wild apples,whereas the modern supermarket apple seldom drops below a certain level of sweetness. 4.Why did Melbourne Zoo stop giving fruit to most of its animals? 第4页/共12页 A.The animals preferred a vegetable-based diet. B.Modern fruit did great harm to animals'teeth. C.The sugar content of modern fruit is lower than before. D.The flavor of modern fruit was not good for the animals. 5.What can we learn from paragraph 3? A.The sugar content is breeders'first priority. B.Sweeter fruits are just a result of natural selection. C.The sweetness of modern apples is equal to the average of older ones. D.Molecular approaches are adopted to add the sweetness of modern fruit. 6.What do studies of wild apples in the last paragraph suggest? A.Apples of old species tasted less sweet. B.The sugar content of wild apples varied greatly. C.The sweetness of modern apples is of the same level D.Fruit is sweet because bitterness in it has disappeared. 7.What's the best title for this passage? A.Modern or Old:Which Is Better? B.Modern Fruit:Sweetness Is Quality C.Fruit Is Sweeter:It's Not a Misconception D.Melbourne Zoo:Animals Stop Eating Fruits C When you're bored,you might start playing with a ball or other objects.Such behavior is common in people. Other animals like it too-that's why a dog fetches a stick,or a cat bats at toys.Play is an enjoyable way to pass the time.A new study finds that it's not just mammals that like to play.Bumblebees (do it too,making them the first insects known to play. In the study,Hiruni Samadi Galpayage Dona,an insect expert,did an experiment using 200 untrained bumblebees to see if they might play.Of those,45 would be marked with a number when they emerged as adults. A pathway was set up from the bumblebees'nest to a feeding area.One side contained small wooden balls that rolled.The other side had the same number of balls,but they were stuck to the floor.Half balls on each side were colored balls.The rest were left unpainted. For three hours a day over 18 days,Galpayage Dona found bumblebees weren't so interested in the side where the balls didn't move,but they explored the side areas and interacted with the balls.Once they managed to roll a ball,they strongly preferred that side.They returned,climbing on the balls and rolling them around.She also found 第5页/共12页 bumblebees preferred certain colors of balls. "There's something about the mobility that is more interesting for the bumblebees than just colored objects," Galpayage Dona says.In another experiment,she sometimes left the balls out overnight."When I came in the next day,I would always find some bumblebees rolling the balls."As with mammals,the bumblebees who played the most were the younger ones.Their play tapered off as they got older. The scientists say it's not clear why the bumblebees roll the balls or whether they enjoy it.But the experiment raises important questions about how the insects'minds work and whether they have feelings. 8.How does the author introduce the topic? A.By describing the fun of play. B.By analyzing reasons for boredom. C.By introducing similar phenomena. D.By presenting animals'cute images. 9.What did the researcher do in the experiment? A.She trained bumblebees to play balls B.She put small balls along the pathway C.She set up a pathway in bumblebees'nest. D.She rewarded the bumblebees with rolled balls. 10.What does the underlined part"tapered off probably mean in paragraph 5? A.Mattered. B.Helped C.Decreased. D.Emerged. 11.What can be the best title for the text? A.Bumblebees Prefer Shape to Color B.Balls Are Bumblebees'Favorite Toys C.Playing with Objects Is Animals'Second Nature D.Bumblebees Are the First Insects Known to Play D The UN this week launched a report urging companies to stop issuing false net-zero targets that amount to greenwashing. Greenwashing is a term used to describe situations where companies mislead consumers by claiming to be eco-friendly or sustainable as a marketing plan rather than as a core principle of their business model.Often,these industries spend more money making themselves appear sustainable than they do taking actual sustainable measures into their company. Cities,financial institutions,and scores of companies have announced plans to reduce their emissions to zero, 第6页/共12页 which,in principle,should help the fight against climate change. "The problem is that the criteria for these net-zero commitments have varying levels of precision and loopholes(漏洞)，”said UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres during the launch of the report. Many net-zero plans contain far-away or unclear targets and often call for the use of unproved technologies like carbon capture and tree planting,which effectively allow companies to continue polluting the atmosphere. Studies show that most of these net-zero plans will do little to stop temperatures from rising.For example,many oil majors have announced plans to reduce emissions from their operations to zero by 2050 that do not take into account the carbon emitted by the fossil fuels they sell,which would allow them to increase production.Far from decreasing,fossil fuel production is going strong. To close these net-zero loopholes,the UN this week released a report that includes 10 recommendations to ensure that companies,cities,regions,and other non-state actors issue credible and accountable net zero commitments."Their plans cannot rely on cheap carbon credits instead of immediately cutting their own emissions," Guterres said. Financial institutions need to cut down emissions from all their investments and businesses need to bring down the carbon footprint of their supply chain,the report said.The report's lead author,Catherine McKenna, urged companies to release new net-zero targets within a year.The updated targets must contain concrete actionable details 12.What does"greenwashing"refer to? A.A green technology. B.A misleading statement. C.A business model. D.A spending target. 13.Why does the author mention the oil majors? A.To prove oil majors are really responsible. B To set some good examples for other companies. C.To show some net-zero commitments make no sense D.To indicate the benefit of net zero plans to climate change. 14.How does Guterres feel about the issued net-zero plans? A.Dissatisfied B.Guilty C.Shocked D.Confused. 15.What is advised to do to fix net-zero loopholes? A.Plant more trees. B.Share more supply chains. 第7页/共12页 C.Depend on cheap carbon credits D.Make concrete actionable targets. 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。 Supporting Others We're always being told that the secret to happiness lies in helping others.Indeed,it's natural to want to support those we care about,especially if we are in a position to do so.16 When we offer support,it may not always be wanted.17 In this case,offering support in the manner of "..if I were you,I would..."can feel like a scolding rather than support.If our support feels conditional,it can feel burdensome. 18 When someone is trying to manage illness or a house move,just saying"What would help you today?can be amazingly supportive.Or,suggest what you can do for them:picking up some shopping,taking the dog for a walk.Even if it's not needed,just knowing you've been thought of can be supportive in itself. Try to be mindful of offering support that is disabling,rather than enabling.My son,when aged five,wanted to make a cup of tea.I could see how inspiring it was for him to be able to do this.So I filled the kettle and took him through the safety measures.It felt like a huge risk but it worked.His pleasure was immeasurable.The same principle applies when we offer support that increases someone else's capacity.19 Sometimes the only support that's needed is to listen without judgement.20 This reassures them that someone cares enough to listen while they ground themselves.When times are tough,remember to keep things stable.Waiting until the storm has passed is all it takes Support often works best when it's a two-way process It is good to know how to accept help from others as well as offer support to them. A.Here are the pros and cons of supporting others. B.Just be there,while someone lets out their feelings. C.Ask what support is needed and provide a practical one D.This can often be a bigger gift than just doing it for them. E.But we can do more by thinking about the support we offer F.Because being judgmental can only make someone annoyed. G.Sometimes people are trying to manage life in their own way. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第8页/共12页 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Baby Miloszek was born with a heart defect.His disease is too 21 to be treated in Poland,but doctors at Stanford University Medical Center are able to take his case. 22,they require 80 percent of the payment in advance,a sum the family simply could not 23.That's when Maria Andrejczyk 24 in to help Just a week after 25 her first Olympic medal ever and returning from Japan,Maria posted a(n) 26 on a social media platform announcing that she would be auctioning (off her silver medal to raise money for Miloszek's surgery.
