If you are an environmentally conscious meat-eater,a touch of guilt at the dinner table is common.Meat production imposes significant environmental costs,including deforestation, greenhouse gas emissions,and air and water pollutionall pressing issues as the world struggles with climate change.This has fueled growing interest in plant-based meats,such as Impossible Burger and Beyond Meat,which imitate real meat's taste and texture()without animal ingredients and are specifically marketed to traditional meat-eaters as a lower-impact alterative. Research highlights meat's heavy environmental cost.Farm animals contributes about 15% of global greenhouse gas cmissions,with cattle alone ranking second globally in emissions if considered a country.The UN projects global meat demand will swell by 15%by 2031, worsening deforestation and emissions.Grazing animals like cattle are far more harmful than pigs and chickens:per pound of meat,beef's greenhouse gas emissions are over six times those of pork and nearly nine times those of chicken,due to methane()released when cattle digest grass. Plant-based meats aim to address this crisis.Studies conducted by Impossible and Beyond show their burgers drastically cut environmental harm. Plant-based burgers vs beef burgers Imposslble●Beyond Plant Based MEAT 11% Greenhouse gas 10% Data.not available Energy use 54% Land use ☐4% □% Water use 3% % 0102030405060 Footprint relative to beef burger Despite requiring deep processing,life cycle analyses confirm their environmental advantages-they use just 2-24%of the land and water needed for meat to provide equal protein. Hurdles remain:they cost 43%more than meat,struggle to imitate whole-muscle foods like steak, and rely on industrial agriculture.Yet for meat-lovers unwilling to switch to tofu or beans, plant-based meats offer a vital stopgap to reduce climate harm while satisfying their appetites. 21.What is special about plant-based meats like Impossible Burger and Beyond Meat? A.They both contain a large quantity of animal ingredients in their production. B.They are primarily marketed to people who follow a vegetarian diet. C.They reproduce the flavor of real meat while free of animal ingredients. D.They tend to be more expensive compared with traditional meat. 高二级英语试卷第3页火10页 22.What do we know about Beyond's burger from the passage? A.It emits 11%of a beef burger's greenhouse gas. B.It uses only 1%of the water needed for beef production. C.It costs 43%less than traditional meat. D.It can perfectly mimic whole-muscle foods like steak. 23.Where is this passage most likely taken from? A.A science magazine B.A cookery book C.A travel guide D.A health journal B During my years at Stanford,I was the only deaf undergraduate on campus,and American Sign Language (ASL)empowered me to participate in my classes and extracurricular activities, including my lifelong favorite:riding with the Stanford equestrian(team. When I started college,I felt unsure of how I'd navigate such a hearing-centric world.I stopped by the Stanford Red Barn during New Student Orientation,wondering how to try out for the team,which is how I discovered that the head coach,Vanessa Bartsch,'99,had taken ASL during her own student years.She didn't feel surprised at all when she met a future rider who was deaf.If anything,she seemed thrilled at the prospect of practicing her ASL again. Once I made the team,life in the barn is indeed what I did,whenever I wasn't reading in Green Library.I started teaching Bartsch and my teammates some horsey vocabulary in ASL, including the self-made signs for"trot"and"canter"that I'd devised with my mother through her years of interpreting for my riding lessons.At Stanford,I brought ASL interpreters out to the riding arena,all of them arranged through the university's Office of Accessible Education. Hitting the gym weekly with my teammates taught me the importance of cross-training, while routine chores at the barn brought home how our equine partners were far more than pieces of sporting equipment.I was constantly biking out to the Red Barn between classes,rushing into my discussion sections dirty and smelly.Being an equestrian athlete is unlike participating in other college sports,not least because of the bonds that can stir from this mutual love for smelling like horses.My Stanford teammates and I did not always understand each other perfectly-but my time on the team showed me that human language isn't always essential for experiencing a deep connection with another living being. Today,I am an author.Good writing often feels like riding a strong horse.You sense the rhythm of every step as sentences connect one after another,and words move forward with creative energy.Sometimes,shaping these flowing sentences reminds me of the Red Barn.The regular sound of horse footsteps there influenced my inner thoughts just as much as any literature class did. 24.What impressed the author when she went to the Stanford Red Barn? A.She was the only deaf student on the whole campus. B.The head coach had leamned American Sign Language before. C.She was immediately accepted as a member of the equestrian team. D.Many students on the team were willing to learn sign language. 25.What did the author do after joining the equestrian team? A.She gave up reading in the library to spend more time riding. 高=级英语试卷第4页共10页 B.She created new ASL signs for horse-related words with her mother. C.She taught her coach and teammates some horse-related signs in ASL. D.She helped the university set up the Office of Accessible Education. 26.What can we infer from the fourth paragraph? A.She spent most of her college time in the Red Barn rather than in the library. B.The author's teammates looked down on her because she was deaf and smelly. C.Equestrian sports helped the author build close bonds with her teammates. D.The author thought human language is unnecessary for mutual understanding. 27.Why does the author compare good writing to riding a powerful horse? A.Because the memory of riding inspires her to keep practicing writing skills. B.Because riding helped her feel the rhythm and energy that are also needed in writing. C.Because both writing and riding need great physical strength and much patience. D.Because she believes writing is as simple as riding a well-trained horse. Do you usually spot the touchscreen first when checking out a new car?For years,almost every new car sold has a high-tech screen that controls everything.Even safety features like automatic lane-keeping are sometimes screen-controlled.But is it really safe? If scrolling down the screen of a smartphone while driving is distracting and then doing likewise with your car's is probably risky too.Drivers know the location of physical controls and press buttons without taking their eyes off the road.A touchscreen offers no physical feedback, making the operation much harder.And because screens have to do so many things,it often takes a few steps through several sub-menus to find the right setting. In 2022,Vi Bildgare,a Swedish motoring magazine,measured how long it took drivers to do things like changing the temperature while driving at 110 kilometers per hour.It compared 11 cars with touchscreens to a single older model with real buttons.In the old cars,drivers were able to do all their tasks within about 10 seconds,while the worst-performing modern car took 45 seconds.Even in the best-performing modern cars,testers still took several seconds longer than in the old car. Another study,done in 2024 by researchers in Norway,used tracking cameras to compare how long drivers were distracted while performing different tasks on a touchscreen.Even the quickest job like changing the temperature meant three and a half seconds,on average,of not looking at the road. New rules from Euro NCAP,an organization that provides safety ratings for cars sold in Europe,will give no car a full five-star score unless certain crucial functions are controlled by real switches.Euro NCAP's safety guidelines have no legal force,but carmakers use its ratings as a selling point. Traditional carmakers have begun restoring some buttons to their new models.But innovation never stops.Even as touchscreens are falling out of favor,many manufacturers are turning their attention to voice controlthough that is a subject for another story. 28.What is the main problem of car touchscreens according to the text? A.They are too expensive to produce. B.They easily break down while driving. C.They distract drivers and reduce road safety. D.They cannot control important safety features. 高三级英语试卷第5页火10页 29.Why are physical buttons better than touchscreens for drivers? A.They present a more modem and fashionable design. B.They allow drivers to operate them without looking away. C.They take up less room inside the vehicle. D.They control more functions in a car than screens. 30.What can we learn about the test by Vi Bilagare? A.It was carried out by a European car company. B.Old cars with buttons finished tasks faster. C.All modem cars performed equally well. D.Drivers drove at a low speed during the test. 31.What influence will Euro NCAP's new rules bring? A.Cars lacking physical buttons for key functions may fail to get top safety ratings. B.Car manufacturers will be forced to abandon touchscreens completely. C.The new safety guidelines will soon be legally enforced across Europe. D.Vehicles with five-star safety scores will be sold at much higher prices. D Active fathering is rare in mammals(哺乳动物)，with only5%of the6,000 species having involved dads.Because of this,scientists know little about how fatherly care works in mammals. Recently,a new research suggests that modifying a single gene can make adoring dads attack their children,at least in African striped mice,among which males show a wide range of behaviors toward the pups(幼崽). In a study published Feb.18 in the joumal Nature,researchers placed male African striped mice in cages either alone with a group of pups or in group housing with other dads and their pups.They found males kept in groups were more likely to ignore the pups or to try to kill them. To determine the cause,the team exposed male mice to pups,and then monitored their brain activity.They found the attentive dads had greater activity in one brain region,called the medial preoptic area(MPOA).The team then measured gene activity in cells from the MPOA.From this, they discovered that a gene called Agouti was more active in males that attacked pups than in males that cared for the pups. To confirm that Agouti expression was responsible for the transition,the team first exposed mice to pups,followed by inputting a virus that amped up the expression of the Agouti gene in the MPOA.When the males were exposed again to pups,their behavior changed. "We found that those males,when Agouti was increased,became threatening toward pups," Rogers,a researcher at the Princeton Neuroscience Institute,noted,suggesting that this gene was acting as a sort of"switeh"that shifted between mean and caring behavior in mouse fathers. While the Agouti gene found within the MPOA may have a strong link to the change in fatherly care,Rogers cautioned that this switch wasn't the whole story.When the researchers moved males from group housing to single cages,Agouti levels dropped and caregiving increased, suggesting that the gene is influenced more by social context than by food availability. 32.What do male African striped mice tend to do when caged in group housing? A.Their brain activity declines. B.They seek chances to stay alone. C.They show mean behaviors to pups. D.Their fatherly behaviors multiply. 高二级英语试卷第6页火10页 33.What is Agouti responsible for? A.Killing viruses. B.Activating MPOA C.Controlling gene expression. D.Regulating fatherly manners. 34.What does the underlined"amped up"in paragraph 3 mean? A.Disturbed. B.Enhanced. C.Silenced. D.Caused. 35.What can be inferred from Roger's words in the last paragraph A.Agouti levels are unstable in mice. B.Males should give more care to kids. C.Mice should be raised in single cages. D.Social context accounts for fatherly care. 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，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。 From posters to newspaper articles to presidential speeches,inspirational quotes are everywhere.But many are incorrect.Perhaps some have been wrongly attributed()over time,but others are just fake There's an often-shared internet meme that says:"The problem with quotes found on the interet is that they are often not true-Abraham Lincoln."Of course,Lincoln didn't say this! 36 The history of untrue quotes is far older than the internet.For example,in 1919,American author Mark Twain who had died in 1910 was quoted as saying:"A lie will fly around the whole world while the truth is getting its boots on."37..But Garson O'Toole who investigates the origins of quotes on Quote Investigator believes Mark Twain never said such a thing.The quote is probably based on something the English-Irish writer Jonathan Swift wrote in 1710: "Falsehood flies,and the Truth comes limping after it."This changed over time,and somehow got attributed to Twain. 38.That's why you might see quotes attributed to people like Albert Einstein, Marilyn Monroe or Winston Churchill.They were even having quotes misattributed to them while alive. The internet has just made these quotes spread faster and farther.39.But others are used to mean harm,perhaps to give the impression that a hurtful idea has been supported by a respected person-making it feel more acceptable to agree with. So how can we spot these fake quotes?It's not always easy,say experts,because some have been attributed wrongly by thousands of websites and publications,including reputable ones. 40.And Quote Investigator isn't a bad place to start. A.It's a nice quote. B.Therefore,never coin your own quote. C.Some quotes are shared quite harmlessly. D.It was not Lincoln but Mark Twain who said that. E.Doing a bit of research is a good idea to ensure the accuracy. F.Misattributed quotes occur because famous names give authority to them. G.Good example as it is,misattributed quotes are not a digital-age invention. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 高二级英语试卷第7页共10页 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。 Like most people,I had to run phone marathons in my life.This one started when I got a bill with a 41 on it.I knew what getting on the phone to fix it would 42 but it had to be done.

She pulled out a parcel,ready to unwrap the perfect gift:a real 61-key keyboard for her 4-year-old daughter,Aubree.To her shock,when she opened the package,there was only the stand and bench-the keyboard was sold separately. Dread washed over her at the thought of breaking her promise and disappointing Aubree. She spent the whole day searching online and calling stores,only to be met with constant "out of stock"replies.In desperation,she typed a heartfelt plea (and posted it in a local Facebook group.
