Douglas was a student in one of my adult-education classes. He told us how tragedy had struck at his home, not once, but twice. The first time he had lost his five-year-old daughter. He and his wife thought they couldn’t bear that first loss; but, as he said, “Ten months later, God gave us another little girl and she died in five days.” This double bereavement was almost too much to bear. “I couldn’t take it,” this father told us. “I couldn’t sleep, eat, rest or relax. My nerves were entirely shaken and my confidence gone.” At last he went to the doctors: one recommended sleeping pills and another recommended a trip, but neither helped. He said, “My body felt as if it was surrounded in a vice (大钳子), and the jaws of the vice were being drawn tighter and tighter. The tension of grief (悲伤) — if you have ever been paralyzed (使瘫痪) by sorrow, you know what the meant. ” “But thank God, I had one child left — a four-year-old son. He gave me the solution to the problem. One afternoon as I sat around feeling sorry for myself, he asked, ‘Daddy, will you build a boat for me?’ I was in no mood to build a boat; in fact, I was in no mood to do anything. But my son is a persistent fellow! I had to give in. Building that toy boat took me about three hours. By the time it was finished, I realized that those three hours spent building that boat were first hours of mental relaxation and peace that I had had in months! I realized that it is difficult to worry while you are busy doing something that requires planning and thinking. In my case, building the boat had knocked worry out of the ring. So I determined to keep busy.” “The following night, I made a list of jobs that ought to be done. Scores of items needed to be repaired. Amazingly, I had made a list of 242 items that needed attention. During the last two years I have completed most of them. I am so busy now that I have no time for worry.” No time for worry! That is exactly what Winston Churchill said when he was working eighteen hours a day at the height of the war. When he was asked if he worried about his huge responsibilities, he said, “I am too busy. I have no time for worry.” 4. The underlined word “bereavement” in the second paragraph refers to _________. A. having lost a loved one B. having lost a valuable article C. having lost a profit-making business D. having lost a well-paid job 5. Marion felt his body as if it was caught in a vice because _________. A. he couldn’t earn enough money to support his family B. he was suffering from sleeplessness disease C. he couldn’t get out of mental pressure D. he felt tired of adult-education classes 6. Marion made a list of over 200 items that needed to be repaired because _________. A. he hadn’t been able to spare time to mend them B. he wanted to kill his free time by repairing them C. the items had actually been broken and needed attention D. repairing the items helped crowd worry out of his mind 7. At the end of the passage, the author wrote about Winston Churchill in order to ________. A. prove that he followed Churchill’s example B. support his student’s solution to his problem C. show that he was successful in his career D. make it clear how his conclusion was reached 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Marion J. Douglas在连续失去两个女儿后陷入巨大的悲痛和焦虑中，最终通过忙碌于各种事务来摆脱忧虑的故事。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“He told us how tragedy had struck at his home, not once, but twice. The first time he had lost his five-year-old daughter. He and his wife thought they couldn’t bear that first loss; but, as he said, “Ten months later, God gave us another little girl and she died in five days.” (他告诉我们悲剧是如何降临到他家的，不是一次，而是两次。第一次，他失去了五岁的女儿。他和妻子以为他们无法承受第一次的失去；但是，正如他所说，“十个月后，上帝又给了我们一个小女孩，她在五天内就死了。”)”可知，他连续失去了两个心爱的女儿，这种“bereavement”显然是指失去亲人。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“I couldn’t sleep, eat, rest or relax. My nerves were entirely shaken and my confidence gone. (我无法入睡、进食、休息或放松。我的神经完全崩溃了，信心也消失了。)”以及“The tension of grief (悲伤) — if you have ever been paralyzed (使瘫痪) by sorrow, you know what that meant. (悲伤的紧张感——如果你曾经被悲伤所麻痹，你就知道那意味着什么。)”可知，Marion感到身体好像被大钳子夹住，是因为他无法摆脱精神上的压力。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In my case, building the boat had knocked worry out of the ring. So I determined to keep busy. (就我而言，造船已经把忧虑赶出了圈子。所以我决定保持忙碌。)”以及第四段“The following night, I made a list of jobs that ought to be done. Scores of items needed to be repaired. Amazingly, I had made a list of 242 items that needed attention. During the last two years I have completed most of them. I am so busy now that I have no time for worry. (第二天晚上，我列出了一份应该做的工作清单。有几十件物品需要修理。令人惊讶的是，我列出了一份需要关注的242件物品的清单。在过去的两年里，我已经完成了其中的大部分。我现在太忙了，没有时间担心。)”可知，Marion列出需要修理的物品清单，是因为修理这些物品可以帮助他把忧虑挤出脑海。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“No time for worry! That is exactly what Winston Churchill said when he was working eighteen hours a day at the height of the war. When he was asked if he worried about his huge responsibilities, he said, “I am too busy. I have no time for worry.” (没有时间担心！这正是温斯顿·丘吉尔在战争最激烈的时候每天工作18个小时时所说的话。当被问及是否担心自己肩负的巨大责任时，他说：“我太忙了。我没有时间担心。”)”可知，作者在文章结尾提到温斯顿·丘吉尔的话，是为了支持他的学生Marion通过忙碌来解决问题的做法。故选B项。 C Plastic mobile phones cases and sweet wrappers, some more than 50 years old, have recently been pulled from the sea off the coast of East Yorkshire. The finds lead to growing concern among scientists about the long-term impact of plastic waste on our seas, with research suggesting it takes over 400 years for a drinks bottle to breakdown in the sea. Notpla, a London-based startup company, is currently designing a seaweed-based replacement for single-use plastic packaging. Founded in 2014, the company has been sparing no efforts to further develop its product line. The firm initially looked to seaweed as the solution to the world’s white pollution, because it is plentiful, grows quickly, doesn’t compete with land crops and doesn’t use chemicals, but absorbs carbon from the air. Design director Karlijn Sibbel says, “It can grow into the sea, where it actually has many positive benefits so it can create new ecosystems for other organisms to grow in.” Sibbel says they look to nature as inspiration “for the ideal packaging” like the skin on a fruit. “A peel (果皮) will eventually be used as nutrients by nature, disappear and become part of the cycle.” “The exciting thing is that this is a film that can replace most of the flexible packaging you see around,” Sibbel says. The potential contents could include coffee grounds or toilet paper. For food items, such as noodles, they have even experimented with adding flavors to the packaging, so that dissolving the bag could add seasoning to the food. “You can cook with it. And you can really start to rethink what we can do with these materials,” she explained. The approach feels especially relevant as the world is coming to terms with the effects of decades of uncontrolled plastic production. Co-CEO Paslier says, “We’re excited to see our power in the foodservice industry and looking forward to moving into the fashion markets very soon. 8. What problem is mainly referred to in Paragraph 1? A. Energy crisis. B. Food waste. C. Ecological disaster. D. White pollution. 9. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. How seaweed grows in the sea. B. How seaweed absorbs carbon from the air. C. Why seaweed can create more new ecosystems. D. Why seaweed was chosen as a plastic alternative. 10. What is the ideal packaging according to Sibbel? A. It can be digested by nature. B. It’s as thin as a peel. C. It can transform into chemicals. D. It bears a flavor enhancer. 11. Which word can best describe the prospects of Notpla? A. Doubtful. B. Uncertain. C. Promising. D. Darkening. 【答案】8. D 9. D 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了塑料污染日益严重的情况下，一家名叫Notpla的公司采用海藻作为塑料包装的替代品，这种方法不仅切实可行，而且对环境有益，应用领域很广泛。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The finds lead to growing concern among scientists about the long-term impact of plastic waste on our seas, with research suggesting it takes over 400 years for a drinks bottle to breakdown in the sea.（这一发现让科学家们越来越担心塑料垃圾对海洋的长期影响，研究表明，一个饮料瓶在海洋中分解需要400多年的时间。）”可知，第一段主要介绍了塑料垃圾难以分解，会对海洋造成负面影响，即白色污染的问题。故选D项。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“The firm initially looked to seaweed as the solution to the world’s white pollution, because it is plentiful, grows quickly, doesn’t compete with land crops and doesn’t use chemicals, but absorbs carbon from the air. Design director Karlijn Sibbel says, “It can grow into the sea, where it actually has many positive benefits so it can create new ecosystems for other organisms to grow in.”（该公司一开始就将海藻视为解决全球白色污染的办法，因为海藻资源丰富，生长迅速，不与陆地作物竞争，不使用化学品，但能从空气中吸收碳。设计总监Karlijn Sibbel说：“它可以生长在海里，它实际上有很多积极的好处，可以为其他生物创造新的生态系统。”）”可知，该段落主要解释了利用海藻来解决白色污染的原因，不仅方案可行，而且还可以带来很多的好处。D项“为什么选择海藻作为塑料替代品”符合段落大意。故选D项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Sibbel says they look to nature as inspiration “for the ideal packaging” like the skin on a fruit. “A peel (果皮) will eventually be used as nutrients by nature, disappear and become part of the cycle.”（Sibbel说，他们从自然中寻找“理想包装”的灵感，比如水果的表皮。“果皮最终会被自然用作营养物质，消失并成为循环的一部分。”）”可知，在Sibbel看来，理想的包装应该像果皮一样，最终被自然消化，进入循环的状态。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The approach feels especially relevant as the world is coming to terms with the effects of decades of uncontrolled plastic production. Co-CEO Paslier says, “We’re excited to see our power in the foodservice industry and looking forward to moving into the fashion markets very soon.（随着世界逐渐认识到几十年来不受控制的塑料生产的影响，这种方法显得尤为重要。联合首席执行官Paslier说：“我们很高兴看到我们在餐饮服务行业的实力，并期待着很快进入时尚市场。）”可知，Notpla公司的这种方法符合目前的世界发展趋势，除了应用于餐饮业，也有望应用于时装产业，因此公司的前景很好。故选C项。 D Imagine a bowl of pink rice that not only fills your stomach but also gives you the taste of meat. This isn’t a scene from a science fiction movie; it’s the latest creation from South Korean scientists — “meaty rice,” a mixture of cow muscle and fat cells integrated into rice grains. The research team at Seoul’s Yonsei University, led by Professor Park So-hyeon, used a technique called cell-cultured protein, which involves growing animal cells in the lab without harming any animals. They then infused (注入) these cells into rice grains, using a special process that preserves the grain’s structure and properties. Meaty rice is a pink-hued grain that is packed with beef muscle and fat cells, offering a meaty taste and texture. According to their study, each gram of this new rice contains 0.4 grams of protein, which is much higher than the 0.08 grams in ordinary rice. It also has more iron, zinc, and vitamin B12, which are essential for our health. It offers a unique flavor, enhanced nutrition, and reduced environmental impact. A study shows that compared to producing beef, making meaty rice could use 99% less land, 96% less water, and give off 92% fewer greenhouse gases. This makes meaty rice not just a new food, but a possible solution for a greener future. However, the scientists clearly state that meaty rice is still in the early stages of development. Many issues must be addressed before it can be widely accepted. For instance, how will it affect the health and safety of consumers? How will it affect the livelihoods (生计) of farmers and the economy of food production? Be that as it may, the researchers are optimistic that meaty rice will be a game-changer for the future of food, and they are planning to conduct more tests to improve its quality. They believe that meaty rice could be the next frontier of food innovation and also help relieve hunger and malnutrition by providing cheaper and more accessible sources of protein and micro-nutrients. 12. How is “meaty rice” produced according to the text? A. By cooking rice with beef flavor. B. By mixing rice with meat from cows. C. By infusing plant-based proteins into meat. D. By injecting animal cells into rice grains in a lab. 13. What can we learn about “meaty rice” from the text? A. It is pollution-free in production. B. Its flavor is identical to real beef. C. It has more protein and certain nutrients. D. It contains five times the calories of regular rice. 14. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The disadvantages of meaty rice. B. The future prospect of meaty rice. C. The negative effects of meaty rice. D. The potential challenges of meaty rice. 15. What is the researchers’ attitude toward the future of meaty rice? A. Hopeful but unrealistic. B. Convinced and favorable. C. Doubtful and cautious. D. Unconcerned but supportive. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍韩国科学家研发的“肉质大米”，涵盖其制作方法、营养与环保优势、现存问题及研究人员的乐观展望。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The research team at Seoul’s Yonsei University, led by Professor Park So-hyeon, used a technique called cell-cultured protein, which involves growing animal cells in the lab without harming any animals. They then infused these cells into rice grains, using a special process that preserves the grain’s structure and properties.(由朴素贤教授领导的首尔延世大学研究团队采用了一种名为细胞培养蛋白的技术，该技术在实验室中培养动物细胞，且不会伤害任何动物。随后，他们通过一种特殊工艺将这些细胞注入米粒中，同时保留米粒的结构和特性。)”可知，“肉质大米”是通过在实验室中将培养出的动物细胞注入米粒生产出来的。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“According to their study, each gram of this new rice contains 0.4 grams of protein, which is much higher than the 0.08 grams in ordinary rice. It also has more iron, zinc, and vitamin B12, which are essential for our health.(根据他们的研究，这种新型大米每克含有0.4克蛋白质，远高于普通大米的0.08克。它还含有更多对人体健康至关重要的铁、锌和维生素B12。)”可知，肉质大米比普通大米含有更多的蛋白质以及铁、锌、维生素B12等特定营养物质。故选C项。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段中的“However, the scientists clearly state that meaty rice is still in the early stages of development. Many issues must be addressed before it can be widely accepted. For instance, how will it affect the health and safety of consumers? How will it affect the livelihoods of farmers and the economy of food production?(然而，科学家们明确表示，肉质大米仍处于研发初期。在被广泛接受之前，许多问题必须得到解决。例如，它将如何影响消费者的健康和安全？它将如何影响农民的生计和粮食生产经济？)”可知，本段主要阐述肉质大米在推广前需要解决的问题，即其面临的潜在挑战。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Be that as it may, the researchers are optimistic that meaty rice will be a game-changer for the future of food, and they are planning to conduct more tests to improve its quality. They believe that meaty rice could be the next frontier of food innovation and also help relieve hunger and malnutrition by providing cheaper and more accessible sources of protein and micro-nutrients. (尽管如此，研究人员仍乐观地认为，肉质大米将改变未来食品行业，他们计划开展更多测试以提升其品质。他们相信，肉质大米可能成为食品创新的下一个前沿领域，并通过提供更便宜、更容易获取的蛋白质和微量营养素，帮助缓解饥饿和营养不良问题。)”可知，研究人员对肉质大米的未来深信不疑且持支持态度。故选B项。 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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Have you ever dealt with a simple misunderstanding that could have been avoided with more communication?

Recently, he had entered a new school, so he had no friends yet. One Monday morning, he was nearly late for school. The night before, his family attended his cousin’s wedding and reached home late, which was why he couldn’t get up on time as usual. At school, Asad could not pay attention to anything and wanted the bell to ring so that he could buy something to eat. After a few hours, when the bell rang, Asad quickly opened his schoolbag to find his money, but just then he remembered that he had left for school in a hurry in the morning and forgotten to take money. He looked under his books, hoping to find some money but there was nothing. Not knowing what to do, he walked out of the classroom and sat on a bench in front of the canteen. He saw a few of his classmates there, among whom was Fahad. He was one of the richest kids in his class, but he was a very arrogant boy who thought everyone else was a loser. But as Asad was new, he didn’t know much about Fahad. When he went towards Fahad and asked if he could borrow some money for his lunch, Fahad laughed and said, “I didn’t know you were a loser, maybe a beggar?” Fahad laughed out so loud that other kids also heard it and made fun of the situation. Asad didn’t answer Fahad, and slowly walked back towards an empty bench. When he reached the bench, he noticed something lying near it. It was a wallet. He picked it up and recognized it was Fahad’s, as he remembered Fahad showing it to his friends and telling them that his uncle had bought it for him from the UK. There was quite a lot of money inside for a kid. 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。 Paragraph 1: At first, Asad wanted to keep it a secret and punish Fahad. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Then Fahad said, “Why are you giving it back?” ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Paragraph 1: At first, Asad wanted to keep it a secret and punish Fahad. At least he could afford the lunch now. However, another voice popped up, urging him to give it back to Fahad, which made him feel torn. “I should never keep the wallet at the cost of my honesty, and Fahad would be extremely worried when he found he lost the wallet!” Asad convinced himself. Once he made up his mind, he accelerated his pace and caught Fahad up. “Fahad, it’s your wallet and I found it on the bench.” Taking over the wallet, Fahad stared into Asad’s eyes, surprised and puzzled. Paragraph 2: Then Fahad said, “Why are you giving it back?” He even looked into his wallet, obviously doubtful about Asad’s act. Asad explained calmly and patiently, “I had originally wanted to keep it secret as a punishment for your arrogance, but being honest matters more to me.” Hearing what Asad had said, Fahad felt his face burning with shame. He hugged Asad, thanking Asad for saving him from the trouble and apologizing to the classmates around for calling them losers. “You are my friend now. Would you like to join me for lunch?” Fahad turned to Asad. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了Asad是一个诚实的男孩。一天，他没有吃早饭，打算下课后去买些吃的，却发现没带钱。他向Fahad借钱，却被对方嘲笑是乞丐，于是他默默走开了。突然，他在长凳处发现了一个钱包，正是Fahad的。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“起初，Asad想保密并惩罚Fahad。”可知，第一段可描写Asad的心理活动及是否将钱包还给Fahad。 ②由第二段首句内容“Fahad说：“你为什么还给我？””可知，第二段可描写Asad的解释及Fahad的感悟。 2.续写线索：Asad的心理活动——打算归还钱包——Fahad感到惊讶——Asad的解释——Fahad的感悟——两人成为朋友 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①加快：accelerate/speed up ②拥抱：hug/embrace ③给……取名：call/name 情绪类 ①担心的：worried/ainxious ②惊讶的：surprised/amazed 【点睛】[高分句型1]However, another voice popped up, urging him to give it back to Fahad, which made him feel torn. （由which引导的非限制性定语从句） [高分句型2]Hearing what Asad had said, Fahad felt his face burning with shame.（由what引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 天立集团高2024级高二下五月联测试题英语学科 (试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟) 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力 (共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节 (共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

He told us how tragedy had struck at his home, not once, but twice. The first time he had lost his five-year-old daughter. He and his wife thought they couldn’t bear that first loss; but, as he said, “Ten months later, God gave us another little girl and she died in five days.” This double bereavement was almost too much to bear. “I couldn’t take it,” this father told us. “I couldn’t sleep, eat, rest or relax. My nerves were entirely shaken and my confidence gone.” At last he went to the doctors: one recommended sleeping pills and another recommended a trip, but neither helped. He said, “My body felt as if it was surrounded in a vice (大钳子), and the jaws of the vice were being drawn tighter and tighter. The tension of grief (悲伤) — if you have ever been paralyzed (使瘫痪) by sorrow, you know what the meant. ” “But thank God, I had one child left — a four-year-old son. He gave me the solution to the problem. One afternoon as I sat around feeling sorry for myself, he asked, ‘Daddy, will you build a boat for me?’ I was in no mood to build a boat; in fact, I was in no mood to do anything. But my son is a persistent fellow! I had to give in. Building that toy boat took me about three hours. By the time it was finished, I realized that those three hours spent building that boat were first hours of mental relaxation and peace that I had had in months! I realized that it is difficult to worry while you are busy doing something that requires planning and thinking. In my case, building the boat had knocked worry out of the ring. So I determined to keep busy.” “The following night, I made a list of jobs that ought to be done. Scores of items needed to be repaired. Amazingly, I had made a list of 242 items that needed attention. During the last two years I have completed most of them. I am so busy now that I have no time for worry.” No time for worry! That is exactly what Winston Churchill said when he was working eighteen hours a day at the height of the war. When he was asked if he worried about his huge responsibilities, he said, “I am too busy. I have no time for worry.” 4. The underlined word “bereavement” in the second paragraph refers to _________. A. having lost a loved one B. having lost a valuable article C. having lost a profit-making business D. having lost a well-paid job 5. Marion felt his body as if it was caught in a vice because _________. A. he couldn’t earn enough money to support his family B. he was suffering from sleeplessness disease C. he couldn’t get out of mental pressure D. he felt tired of adult-education classes 6. Marion made a list of over 200 items that needed to be repaired because _________. A. he hadn’t been able to spare time to mend them B. he wanted to kill his free time by repairing them C. the items had actually been broken and needed attention D. repairing the items helped crowd worry out of his mind 7. At the end of the passage, the author wrote about Winston Churchill in order to ________. A. prove that he followed Churchill’s example B. support his student’s solution to his problem C. show that he was successful in his career D. make it clear how his conclusion was reached C Plastic mobile phones cases and sweet wrappers, some more than 50 years old, have recently been pulled from the sea off the coast of East Yorkshire. The finds lead to growing concern among scientists about the long-term impact of plastic waste on our seas, with research suggesting it takes over 400 years for a drinks bottle to breakdown in the sea. Notpla, a London-based startup company, is currently designing a seaweed-based replacement for single-use plastic packaging. Founded in 2014, the company has been sparing no efforts to further develop its product line. The firm initially looked to seaweed as the solution to the world’s white pollution, because it is plentiful, grows quickly, doesn’t compete with land crops and doesn’t use chemicals, but absorbs carbon from the air. Design director Karlijn Sibbel says, “It can grow into the sea, where it actually has many positive benefits so it can create new ecosystems for other organisms to grow in.” Sibbel says they look to nature as inspiration “for the ideal packaging” like the skin on a fruit. “A peel (果皮) will eventually be used as nutrients by nature, disappear and become part of the cycle.” “The exciting thing is that this is a film that can replace most of the flexible packaging you see around,” Sibbel says. The potential contents could include coffee grounds or toilet paper. For food items, such as noodles, they have even experimented with adding flavors to the packaging, so that dissolving the bag could add seasoning to the food. “You can cook with it. And you can really start to rethink what we can do with these materials,” she explained. The approach feels especially relevant as the world is coming to terms with the effects of decades of uncontrolled plastic production. Co-CEO Paslier says, “We’re excited to see our power in the foodservice industry and looking forward to moving into the fashion markets very soon. 8.

This isn’t a scene from a science fiction movie; it’s the latest creation from South Korean scientists — “meaty rice,” a mixture of cow muscle and fat cells integrated into rice grains. The research team at Seoul’s Yonsei University, led by Professor Park So-hyeon, used a technique called cell-cultured protein, which involves growing animal cells in the lab without harming any animals. They then infused (注入) these cells into rice grains, using a special process that preserves the grain’s structure and properties. Meaty rice is a pink-hued grain that is packed with beef muscle and fat cells, offering a meaty taste and texture. According to their study, each gram of this new rice contains 0.4 grams of protein, which is much higher than the 0.08 grams in ordinary rice. It also has more iron, zinc, and vitamin B12, which are essential for our health. It offers a unique flavor, enhanced nutrition, and reduced environmental impact. A study shows that compared to producing beef, making meaty rice could use 99% less land, 96% less water, and give off 92% fewer greenhouse gases. This makes meaty rice not just a new food, but a possible solution for a greener future. However, the scientists clearly state that meaty rice is still in the early stages of development. Many issues must be addressed before it can be widely accepted. For instance, how will it affect the health and safety of consumers? How will it affect the livelihoods (生计) of farmers and the economy of food production? Be that as it may, the researchers are optimistic that meaty rice will be a game-changer for the future of food, and they are planning to conduct more tests to improve its quality. They believe that meaty rice could be the next frontier of food innovation and also help relieve hunger and malnutrition by providing cheaper and more accessible sources of protein and micro-nutrients. 12. How is “meaty rice” produced according to the text? A. By cooking rice with beef flavor. B. By mixing rice with meat from cows. C. By infusing plant-based proteins into meat. D. By injecting animal cells into rice grains in a lab. 13. What can we learn about “meaty rice” from the text? A. It is pollution-free in production. B. Its flavor is identical to real beef. C. It has more protein and certain nutrients. D. It contains five times the calories of regular rice. 14. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The disadvantages of meaty rice. B. The future prospect of meaty rice. C. The negative effects of meaty rice. D. The potential challenges of meaty rice. 15. What is the researchers’ attitude toward the future of meaty rice? A. Hopeful but unrealistic. B. Convinced and favorable. C. Doubtful and cautious. D. Unconcerned but supportive. 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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Have you ever dealt with a simple misunderstanding that could have been avoided with more communication?

Recently, he had entered a new school, so he had no friends yet. One Monday morning, he was nearly late for school. The night before, his family attended his cousin’s wedding and reached home late, which was why he couldn’t get up on time as usual. At school, Asad could not pay attention to anything and wanted the bell to ring so that he could buy something to eat. After a few hours, when the bell rang, Asad quickly opened his schoolbag to find his money, but just then he remembered that he had left for school in a hurry in the morning and forgotten to take money. He looked under his books, hoping to find some money but there was nothing. Not knowing what to do, he walked out of the classroom and sat on a bench in front of the canteen. He saw a few of his classmates there, among whom was Fahad. He was one of the richest kids in his class, but he was a very arrogant boy who thought everyone else was a loser. But as Asad was new, he didn’t know much about Fahad. When he went towards Fahad and asked if he could borrow some money for his lunch, Fahad laughed and said, “I didn’t know you were a loser, maybe a beggar?” Fahad laughed out so loud that other kids also heard it and made fun of the situation. Asad didn’t answer Fahad, and slowly walked back towards an empty bench. When he reached the bench, he noticed something lying near it. It was a wallet. He picked it up and recognized it was Fahad’s, as he remembered Fahad showing it to his friends and telling them that his uncle had bought it for him from the UK. There was quite a lot of money inside for a kid. 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。 Paragraph 1: At first, Asad wanted to keep it a secret and punish Fahad. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Then Fahad said, “Why are you giving it back?” ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
