Growing up in Southern California, where earthquakes often happen, this 18-year-old girl has spent lots of time hiding under her school desk during earthquake drills. Although these ground tremors are slightly shaking, they are often unpredictable. Earthquake early warning systems do exist. One is the ShakeAlert system on the U. S. West Coast. Earthquake monitoring stations in the Shake Alert network detect ground shaking when a quake strikes. Those stations then alert people that the ground under them may soon start to shake. But it’s hard to predict how much the ground will shake at any given place. And people closest to an earthquake’s source are out of luck. They’ll feel the shaking before they can get an alert. Therefore, Vivien built an at-home earthquake sensor. Called the Qube, this device uses a motion sensor called a geophone (地震检波器) to feel tremors that may mark the beginning of a bigger quake. Then, it can warn users by sounding the alarm or sending text alerts. To build it, Vivien bought a machine and watched YouTube videos to learn how to use it. Then she went to work in a spare bathroom . During nine months of testing, Vivien’s Qube detected all earthquakes over magnitude 3 around Los Angeles. The motion data captured by her Qube also matched those from a nearby seismometer (地震仪) in the Southern California Seismic Network. Vivien is now building up a network of Qubes around Los Angeles. “I have eight devices in different homes,” she says. A widespread Qube network could serve as a role similar to that of Shake Alert seismic stations. When one Qube starts to shake, it could alert users across town to an oncoming quake. But unlike earthquake monitoring stations, Qubes are tiny and inexpensive. About the size of a Rubik’s cube, one Qube costs less than $100 to make. So, many more of them could be installed around a city. 41．What does the underlined word “tremors” mean in English? A．Small earthquakes. B．Big earthquakes. C．Huge seismometers. D．Mini geophones. 42．What can we learn about Vivien He when she was little? A．She used to like playing hide and seek in school. B．She was often at risk of experiencing an earthquake. C．She once got injured severely in an earthquake drill. D．She showed no interest in studying natural disasters. 43．Why does the author mention the ShakeAlert system? A．To prove the necessity of early earthquake monitoring stations. B．To compare ShakeAlert with Vivien’s Qube in terms of accuracy. C．To highlight the technological advancements in earthquake detection. D．To show the drawback of existing earthquake early warning systems. 44．What’s the main function of Vivien He’s device? A．Monitoring tremors and sending alarms. B．Collecting data about minor earthquakes. C．Predicting the center of an earthquake. D．Assessing the sizes of earthquakes. 45．What’s implied about the network of Qubes? A．It’s very challenging to build it. B．It has limitations in large cities. C．It can be easily applied at a low cost. D．It just requires eight devices in each place. 【答案】41．A 42．B 43．D 44．A 45．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了美国一名高中女生Vivien He自制的一种地震感应器，它可以感应到一些可能引起更大地震的小地震，从而发出警报来警示用户。 【详解】41．词义猜测题。根据划线词所在句“Although these ground tremors are slightly shaking, they are often unpredictable.(尽管这些地面tremors震动幅度不大，但它们往往难以预测。)”中的“are slightly shaking”可知，这些地震震动幅度比较小，所以应该是一些小地震，tremors表示“小地震”。故选A。 42．细节理解题。根据第一段“Growing up in Southern California, where earthquakes often happen, this 18-year-old girl has spent lots of time hiding under her school desk during earthquake drills.(这个 18 岁的女孩在南加州长大，那里经常会发生地震。因此，在地震演练时，她总是会躲到学校的课桌下面。)”可知，Vivien从小就经常经历过地震的危险。故选B。 43．推理判断题。根据第二段中“One is the Shake Alert system on the U. S. West Coast. (其中之一是美国西海岸的ShakeAlert系统。)”、“But it’s hard to predict how much the ground will shake at any given place. And people closest to an earthquake’s source are out of luck. They’ll feel the shaking before they can get an alert.(但很难预测在任何特定地点地震的震感会有多强烈。而距离地震震源最近的人们则会倒霉了，因为他们会在接收到警报之前就已经感受到震动了。)”以及第三段中“Therefore, Vivien built an at-home earthquake sensor. Called the Qube, this device uses a motion sensor called a geophone (地震检波器) to feel tremors that may mark the beginning of a bigger quake. (因此，维维安建造了一个家用地震传感器。这种装置被称为Qube，它使用一种称为检波器的运动传感器来感知可能标志着更大地震开始的微小震动。)”对Vivien自制的地震感应器的介绍可知，作者提到ShakeAlert这个震动警报系统是为了展示现有的地震预报系统的缺点和不足之处。故选D。 44．细节理解题。根据第二段“Called the Qube, this device uses a motion sensor called a geophone(地震检波器) to feel tremors that may mark the beginning of a bigger quake. Then, it can warn users by sounding the alarm or sending text alerts.(这款名为‘Qube’的设备利用一种名为‘地震检波器’的运动传感器来感知可能预示更大地震发生的微小震动，随后，它会通过发出警报或发送短信通知等方式向用户发出警告。)”可知，Vivien He的设备的主要功能是监测小的地震，并向用户发出警报。故选A。 45．推理判断题。根据最后一段“But unlike earthquake monitoring stations, Qubes are tiny and inexpensive. About the size of a Rubik’s cube, one Qube costs less than $100 to make. So, many more of them could be installed around a city.(但与地震监测站不同的是，Qubes体积小巧且成本低廉，其大小约相当于一个魔方，制作一个Qubes的成本还不到100美元，因此，可以在城市周边安装更多的此类探测器。)”可知，Qubes可以很容易地以低成本应用。故选C。 C An interesting scientific finding that challenges common beliefs is that eating chocolate can actually be good for you. For a long time, people thought chocolate was just a sweet treat that could make them gain weight and harm their teeth. However, recent research has found that dark chocolate, in particular, can have several health benefits when eaten in small amounts. Dark chocolate is rich in antioxidants (抗氧化剂). These substances can protect your body from damage caused by harmful particles (微粒) called free radicals (自由基). Consuming foods high in antioxidants can help maintain a healthy heart and reduce the risk of certain diseases. Researchers have discovered that the specific types of antioxidants in dark chocolate can improve blood flow and lower blood pressure. So, how can this knowledge be used in our day-to-day lives? First, it’s important to choose dark chocolate that contains at least 70% cocoa. Higher cocoa content means more antioxidants the chocolate contains. Second, consuming it in limited amounts is important. Even though dark chocolate is good for your health, it also contains calories and fat. A small piece of dark chocolate a few times each week is all you need to enjoy its health benefits without extra calories. Another way to apply this knowledge is by eating dark chocolate when you have a desire for sweets. Instead of choosing sugary milk chocolate or candy, a piece of dark chocolate can satisfy your sweet tooth while being healthier. Teachers can use this example to teach students about nutrition and the value of looking at food as a whole. Just because something contains sugar doesn’t mean it’s bad in all cases. This discovery about dark chocolate can encourage students to learn more about the health benefits and downsides of other foods. The idea that all chocolate is unhealthy is challenged by the discovery that dark chocolate can be part of a health y diet. Choosing the right chocolate and eating it in moderation (适度) lets people enjoy its taste and health benefits. This shows how scientific discoveries can reshape our understanding of food and health. 46．What does recent research say about chocolate? A．It’s only for kids. B．It can be healthy. C．It’s made from milk. D．It’s good in big amounts. 47．What can antioxidants help prevent? A．Hunger. B．Feeling uninterested. C．Sleepiness: D．Damage from free radicals. 48．What is the main reason for eating dark chocolate in limited amounts? A．It also contains calories and fat. B．It can make you very energetic. C．It has high levels of caffeine. D．It’s too expensive. 49．Why might teachers discuss dark chocolate in nutrition lessons? A．To show not all sugary foods are harmful. B．To encourage the daily intake of chocolate. C．To frighten students about health risks. D．To argue against eating any sweets. 50．What does the passage suggest about our understanding of food and health? A．It is unchanging and inflexible. B．It is less important than taste. C．It can develop with new studies. D．It has been completely understood. 【答案】46．B 47．D 48．A 49．A 50．C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了研究发现黑巧克力有益健康，含抗氧化剂，适量食用为宜，可用于教学，说明科学发现能重塑对食物与健康的认知。 【详解】46．细节理解题。根据第一段中“However, recent research has found that dark chocolate, in particular, can have several health benefits when eaten in small amounts.(然而，最近的研究发现，特别是黑巧克力，少量食用会有一些健康益处)”可知，近期研究表明巧克力（尤其是黑巧克力）可能是健康的。故选B项。 47．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Dark chocolate is rich in antioxidants (抗氧化剂). These substances can protect your body from damage caused by harmful particles (微粒) called free radicals (自由基).(黑巧克力富含抗氧化剂。这些物质可以保护你的身体免受被称为自由基的有害微粒造成的损害)”可知，抗氧化剂有助于防止自由基带来的损害。故选D项。 48．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Even though dark chocolate is good for your health, it also contains calories and fat. A small piece of dark chocolate a few times each week is all you need to enjoy its health benefits without extra calories.(尽管黑巧克力对你的健康有好处，但它也含有卡路里和脂肪。每周几次吃一小块黑巧克力，就可以享受它的健康益处，而不需要额外的卡路里)”可知，限量食用黑巧克力是因为它含有卡路里和脂肪。故选A项。 49．推理判断题。根据第四段中“Teachers can use this example to teach students about nutrition and the value of looking at food as a whole. Just because something contains sugar doesn’t mean it’s bad in all cases.(教师可以用这个例子来教学生营养和从整体上看待食物的价值。仅仅因为某物含有糖并不意味着它在所有情况下都是坏的)”可推知，教师在营养课上讨论黑巧克力是为了说明并非所有含糖食物都有害。故选A项。 50．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“This shows how scientific discoveries can reshape our understanding of food and health.(这表明科学发现如何能够重塑我们对食物和健康的理解)” 可推知，文章表明我们对食物和健康的理解会随着新研究而发展。故选C项。 D An advance in electronic publishing could make the book you are reading-seem as out-of-date as a silent film. Publishers hope to exploit (利用) the growing success of ebooks by releasing versions with added soundtracks and musical accompaniment. The noise in the first multimedia books — released in Britain — include rain hitting a window in a Sherlock Holmes tale. Works by Oscar Wilde and Rudyard Kipling are also available. When the plot of a book reaches a climax (高潮), background music will create tension. In America, works by Shakespeare and Jane Austen have already been released with music and background noise so that, for example, readers can hear tea cups clinking in Mr Darcy’s-garden as they read Pride and Prejudice. Supporters argue that sound effects are the next logical development for, ebooks and will add excitement for younger readers. Critics, however, will argue that the noises will ruin the simple pleasure of having the imagination stimulated by reading., Caroline Michel, chief executive of the literary agency PFD*, said the new generation of computer-literate readers was used to multiple sensory input. She said: “Concentration now is such that people have split computer screens where they may be watching television and replying to an email at the same time. If that’s what the market wants then we should respond to the market.” Booktrack’s sound effects work by estimating the user’s reading speed. Each time you “turn” a page, the software reassesses where you have reached in the text and times the sounds to switch on accordingly. If the soundtrack becomes out of synch (同步), a click on any word will re-set it. Some authors fear a soundtrack could destroy the peace and quiet of libraries and ruin the pleasure of reading. David Nicholls, author of One Day, the bestseller now released as a film, said: “This sounds like the opposite of reading. It would be a distraction. I have enough trouble reading an ebook. Because I’m constantly disturbed by emails and so I’ve given up on it for the time being.” Stuart MacBride, the crime writer whose novel Shatter the Bones was an ebook bestseller, sells 18% of his books as electronic downloads. He said: “If I’m reading, I will do the noises in my head. I don’t need someone to tell me what crunching gravel (嘎吱响的石子) sounds like. That would annoy me.” *PFD: Peters Fraser + Dunlop is one of the longest-established literary and talent agencles in London representing writers, broadcasters, speakers and journalists, etc. 51．The ebook soundtrack is intended to ________. A．make readers focus on the story B．help readers with unknown vocabulary C．strengthen readers’ impression of characters D．add tension when the book reaches an exciting point 52．Caroline Michel thinks that computer-literate readers ________. A．ignore the multiple sensory input B．focus on enjoying the pleasure of reading C．are used to doing several things at the same time D．consider the soundtrack’s influence on reading speed 53．The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refers to ________. A．the soundtrack B．the speed of reading C．the software D．the required time 54．What is David Nicholls’ attitude towards the soundtrack? A．Favorable. B．Doubtful. C．Disapproving. D．Objective. 55．The text is most probably taken from ________. A．a science textbook B．a newspaper report C．a book review D．a personal diary 【答案】51．D 52．C 53．A 54．C 55．B 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了电子出版商计划推出带有音效的电子书，引发了支持和反对的不同观点。 【详解】51．细节理解题。根据第二段中“When the plot of a book reaches a climax (高潮), background music will create tension.(当书的情节达到高潮时，背景音乐会制造紧张气氛)”可知，电子书音效是为了在情节高潮时增加紧张感。故选D。 52．细节理解题。根据第四段中“Concentration now is such that people have split computer screens where they may be watching television and replying to an email at the same time.(现在的注意力是这样的，人们把电脑屏幕分开，可以一边看电视一边回复电子邮件)”可知，Caroline Michel认为熟悉电脑的读者习惯同时做多件事。故选C。 53．词句猜测题。根据第五段中“Booktrack’s sound effects work by estimating the user’s reading speed. Each time you “turn” a page, the software reassesses where you have reached in the text and times the sounds to switch on accordingly. If the soundtrack becomes out of synch (同步), a click on any word will re-set it.(Booktrack的音效是通过估计用户的阅读速度来工作的。每次你“翻”一页，软件都会重新评估你在文本中读到的位置，并相应地调整声音的开启时间。如果配乐不同步，点击任何一个单词都会重新设置它)”可知，it指代前文提到的“soundtrack(配乐)”。故选A。 54．推理判断题。根据第六段中“This sounds like the opposite of reading. It would be a distraction. It would be a distraction. I have enough trouble reading an ebook. Because I’m constantly disturbed by emails and so I’ve given up on it for the time being.(这听起来像是阅读的反面。这会分散注意力。我读电子书已经够麻烦的了。因为我经常被电子邮件打扰，所以我暂时放弃了。)”可知，David Nicholls对配乐持反对态度。故选C。 55．推理判断题。根据第一段“An advance in electronic publishing could make the book you are reading-seem as out-of-date as a silent film. Publishers hope to exploit (利用) the growing success of ebooks by releasing versions with added soundtracks and musical accompaniment.(电子出版技术的进步可能会让你正在阅读的书看起来像无声电影一样过时。出版商希望通过发行带有附加配乐和音乐伴奏的版本来利用电子书日益取得的成功)”和全文内容可知，文章讨论了电子书音效的推出及其引发的争议，符合新闻报道的特点，可能来自报纸报道。故选B。 第二部分:写作(共两节，满分35分) 第一节：阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容完成下列各题。 Mother Teresa has influenced many people in the world. Pankaj Shah is one of them. He helped many people in Nairobi, Kenya, to get enough food during the coronavirus pandemic (新冠大流行). Pankaj Shah met Mother Teresa after her pickup truck hit his car when he was just a young, wild businessman finding his way in life 30 years ago. The two became friends, and then he volunteered with her for three months. Mother Teresa has passed away, but her mission to help the poor lives on in Pankaj and countless others. When the coronavirus pandemic hit Africa, Pankaj stopped his business at his company and turned his attention to those around him. “I think about what she would do,” he explained. “That’s the inspiration for the rest of my life.” So Pankaj brought his friends together and transformed a school into a center for handing out supplies. Then he began asking the nation’s wealthiest people and private businesses for donations. With schools and businesses closed and no work for the young people who support their families, many Kenyans have stayed inside without enough food. Kenya’s large Asian community also stepped up to help, bringing in loads of vegetables and other produce before the outbreak began. Under Pankaj’s leadership, volunteers formed Team Pankaj and began putting hampers (餐篮) together that are designed to feed families in need for up to five weeks. “One old woman told us she hadn’t eaten for days,” Pankaj said. “People were getting hungry and angry.” After just three weeks, they were able to send out more than 24,000 food hampers! Mother Teresa once said, “If you can’t feed a hundred people, then feed just one.” Her lifelong mission was to serve the poor through acts of kindness and generosity. Pankaj and his army of volunteers have taken her philanthropy a step further. 56．When did Pankaj Shah meet Mother Teresa? (no more than 10 words) 57．Why did Pankaj Shah stop his business when the coronavirus pandemic hit Africa? (no more than 10 words) 58．How did Team Pankaj help families in need of food? (no more than 10 words) 59．What does the underlined word “philanthropy” in the last paragraph mean? (1 word) 60．What do you think of Pankaj Shah? Please explain.(no more than 20 words) 【答案】56．30 years ago. 57．To help others during the pandemic. 58．By distributing food hampers to families. 59．Charity. 60．He is selfless and inspiring, continuing Mother Teresa’s mission to help the poor. 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了潘卡吉受特蕾莎修女影响，在新冠疫情期间，暂停生意，联合他人将学校改为物资分发中心，募集捐赠，为肯尼亚人提供食物篮，践行其慈善精神。 【详解】56．考查细节理解。根据第二段“Pankaj Shah met Mother Teresa after her pickup truck hit his car when he was just a young, wild businessman finding his way in life 30 years ago.(30年前，当帕克贾·沙赫还是一位初涉商界、行为放纵的年轻人时，他的汽车被特蕾莎修女的皮卡车撞了。那次遭遇后，他与特蕾莎修女相识了)”可知，潘卡杰·沙赫是在30年前与特蕾莎修女见面。故答案为30 years ago. 57．考查细节理解。根据第三段“When the coronavirus pandemic hit Africa, Pankaj stopped his business at his company and turned his attention to those around him. “I think about what she would do,” he explained.(当新冠疫情席卷非洲时，帕克贾停止了自己在公司的业务工作，将注意力转向了身边的人。“我会思考她会怎么做，”他解释道)”可知，帕克贾·沙赫在新冠疫情席卷非洲时会停止自己的生意是为了在疫情期间帮助他人。故答案为To help others during the pandemic. 58．考查细节理解。根据第四段“Under Pankaj’s leadership, volunteers formed Team Pankaj and began putting hampers (餐篮) together that are designed to feed families in need for up to five weeks.(在潘卡杰的领导下，志愿者们组成了“潘卡杰团队”，并开始制作食品篮，这些食品篮旨在为贫困家庭提供长达五周的食品供应)”可知，潘卡杰团队通过向家庭分发食品礼包帮助那些需要食物的家庭。故答案为By distributing food hampers to families. 59．考查词句猜测。根据划线词上文“Her lifelong mission was to serve the poor through acts of kindness and generosity.(她一生的使命是通过善举和慷慨行为来服务穷人)”可知，她一生的使命是通过善举和慷慨行为来服务穷人，即从事慈善行为。故划线词意思是“慈善”。故答案为Charity. 60．考查开放题。根据“你觉得潘卡杰·沙阿怎么样？请解释一下”可知，他无私且令人鼓舞，继续着特蕾莎修女帮助穷人的事业。故答案为He is selfless and inspiring, continuing Mother Teresa’s mission to help the poor. 第二节：书面表达（满分25分） 61．假如你是李华，听说你的好友魏方所在的班，在天津一中校长杯足球联赛中荣获冠军。请你根据以下内容，给他写一封祝贺信。内容包括： ①表达你的愉悦心情； ②向他表示祝贺； ③请他介绍成功的经验。 注意： ①词数100左右； ②开头和结尾已为你写好，但不计入总词数； ③可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 参考词汇：校长杯足球联赛 the Principal Cup Football League Dear Wei Fang, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Wei Fang, Hearing that your class won the championship in the Principal Cup Football League, I am writing to express my heartfelt congratulations to you.

Growing up in Southern California, where earthquakes often happen, this 18-year-old girl has spent lots of time hiding under her school desk during earthquake drills. Although these ground tremors are slightly shaking, they are often unpredictable. Earthquake early warning systems do exist. One is the ShakeAlert system on the U. S. West Coast. Earthquake monitoring stations in the Shake Alert network detect ground shaking when a quake strikes. Those stations then alert people that the ground under them may soon start to shake. But it’s hard to predict how much the ground will shake at any given place. And people closest to an earthquake’s source are out of luck. They’ll feel the shaking before they can get an alert. Therefore, Vivien built an at-home earthquake sensor. Called the Qube, this device uses a motion sensor called a geophone (地震检波器) to feel tremors that may mark the beginning of a bigger quake. Then, it can warn users by sounding the alarm or sending text alerts. To build it, Vivien bought a machine and watched YouTube videos to learn how to use it. Then she went to work in a spare bathroom . During nine months of testing, Vivien’s Qube detected all earthquakes over magnitude 3 around Los Angeles. The motion data captured by her Qube also matched those from a nearby seismometer (地震仪) in the Southern California Seismic Network. Vivien is now building up a network of Qubes around Los Angeles. “I have eight devices in different homes,” she says. A widespread Qube network could serve as a role similar to that of Shake Alert seismic stations. When one Qube starts to shake, it could alert users across town to an oncoming quake. But unlike earthquake monitoring stations, Qubes are tiny and inexpensive. About the size of a Rubik’s cube, one Qube costs less than $100 to make. So, many more of them could be installed around a city. 41．What does the underlined word “tremors” mean in English? A．Small earthquakes. B．Big earthquakes. C．Huge seismometers. D．Mini geophones. 42．What can we learn about Vivien He when she was little? A．She used to like playing hide and seek in school. B．She was often at risk of experiencing an earthquake. C．She once got injured severely in an earthquake drill. D．She showed no interest in studying natural disasters. 43．Why does the author mention the ShakeAlert system? A．To prove the necessity of early earthquake monitoring stations. B．To compare ShakeAlert with Vivien’s Qube in terms of accuracy. C．To highlight the technological advancements in earthquake detection. D．To show the drawback of existing earthquake early warning systems. 44．What’s the main function of Vivien He’s device? A．Monitoring tremors and sending alarms. B．Collecting data about minor earthquakes. C．Predicting the center of an earthquake. D．Assessing the sizes of earthquakes. 45．What’s implied about the network of Qubes? A．It’s very challenging to build it. B．It has limitations in large cities. C．It can be easily applied at a low cost. D．It just requires eight devices in each place. C An interesting scientific finding that challenges common beliefs is that eating chocolate can actually be good for you. For a long time, people thought chocolate was just a sweet treat that could make them gain weight and harm their teeth. However, recent research has found that dark chocolate, in particular, can have several health benefits when eaten in small amounts. Dark chocolate is rich in antioxidants (抗氧化剂). These substances can protect your body from damage caused by harmful particles (微粒) called free radicals (自由基). Consuming foods high in antioxidants can help maintain a healthy heart and reduce the risk of certain diseases. Researchers have discovered that the specific types of antioxidants in dark chocolate can improve blood flow and lower blood pressure. So, how can this knowledge be used in our day-to-day lives? First, it’s important to choose dark chocolate that contains at least 70% cocoa. Higher cocoa content means more antioxidants the chocolate contains. Second, consuming it in limited amounts is important. Even though dark chocolate is good for your health, it also contains calories and fat. A small piece of dark chocolate a few times each week is all you need to enjoy its health benefits without extra calories. Another way to apply this knowledge is by eating dark chocolate when you have a desire for sweets. Instead of choosing sugary milk chocolate or candy, a piece of dark chocolate can satisfy your sweet tooth while being healthier. Teachers can use this example to teach students about nutrition and the value of looking at food as a whole. Just because something contains sugar doesn’t mean it’s bad in all cases. This discovery about dark chocolate can encourage students to learn more about the health benefits and downsides of other foods. The idea that all chocolate is unhealthy is challenged by the discovery that dark chocolate can be part of a health y diet. Choosing the right chocolate and eating it in moderation (适度) lets people enjoy its taste and health benefits. This shows how scientific discoveries can reshape our understanding of food and health. 46．What does recent research say about chocolate? A．It’s only for kids. B．It can be healthy. C．It’s made from milk. D．It’s good in big amounts. 47．What can antioxidants help prevent? A．Hunger. B．Feeling uninterested. C．Sleepiness: D．Damage from free radicals. 48．What is the main reason for eating dark chocolate in limited amounts? A．It also contains calories and fat. B．It can make you very energetic. C．It has high levels of caffeine. D．It’s too expensive. 49．Why might teachers discuss dark chocolate in nutrition lessons? A．To show not all sugary foods are harmful. B．To encourage the daily intake of chocolate. C．To frighten students about health risks. D．To argue against eating any sweets. 50．What does the passage suggest about our understanding of food and health? A．It is unchanging and inflexible. B．It is less important than taste. C．It can develop with new studies. D．It has been completely understood. D An advance in electronic publishing could make the book you are reading-seem as out-of-date as a silent film. Publishers hope to exploit (利用) the growing success of ebooks by releasing versions with added soundtracks and musical accompaniment. The noise in the first multimedia books — released in Britain — include rain hitting a window in a Sherlock Holmes tale. Works by Oscar Wilde and Rudyard Kipling are also available. When the plot of a book reaches a climax (高潮), background music will create tension. In America, works by Shakespeare and Jane Austen have already been released with music and background noise so that, for example, readers can hear tea cups clinking in Mr Darcy’s-garden as they read Pride and Prejudice. Supporters argue that sound effects are the next logical development for, ebooks and will add excitement for younger readers. Critics, however, will argue that the noises will ruin the simple pleasure of having the imagination stimulated by reading., Caroline Michel, chief executive of the literary agency PFD*, said the new generation of computer-literate readers was used to multiple sensory input. She said: “Concentration now is such that people have split computer screens where they may be watching television and replying to an email at the same time. If that’s what the market wants then we should respond to the market.” Booktrack’s sound effects work by estimating the user’s reading speed. Each time you “turn” a page, the software reassesses where you have reached in the text and times the sounds to switch on accordingly. If the soundtrack becomes out of synch (同步), a click on any word will re-set it. Some authors fear a soundtrack could destroy the peace and quiet of libraries and ruin the pleasure of reading. David Nicholls, author of One Day, the bestseller now released as a film, said: “This sounds like the opposite of reading. It would be a distraction. I have enough trouble reading an ebook. Because I’m constantly disturbed by emails and so I’ve given up on it for the time being.” Stuart MacBride, the crime writer whose novel Shatter the Bones was an ebook bestseller, sells 18% of his books as electronic downloads. He said: “If I’m reading, I will do the noises in my head. I don’t need someone to tell me what crunching gravel (嘎吱响的石子) sounds like. That would annoy me.” *PFD: Peters Fraser + Dunlop is one of the longest-established literary and talent agencles in London representing writers, broadcasters, speakers and journalists, etc. 51．The ebook soundtrack is intended to ________. A．make readers focus on the story B．help readers with unknown vocabulary C．strengthen readers’ impression of characters D．add tension when the book reaches an exciting point 52．Caroline Michel thinks that computer-literate readers ________.

Pankaj Shah is one of them. He helped many people in Nairobi, Kenya, to get enough food during the coronavirus pandemic (新冠大流行). Pankaj Shah met Mother Teresa after her pickup truck hit his car when he was just a young, wild businessman finding his way in life 30 years ago. The two became friends, and then he volunteered with her for three months. Mother Teresa has passed away, but her mission to help the poor lives on in Pankaj and countless others. When the coronavirus pandemic hit Africa, Pankaj stopped his business at his company and turned his attention to those around him. “I think about what she would do,” he explained. “That’s the inspiration for the rest of my life.” So Pankaj brought his friends together and transformed a school into a center for handing out supplies. Then he began asking the nation’s wealthiest people and private businesses for donations. With schools and businesses closed and no work for the young people who support their families, many Kenyans have stayed inside without enough food. Kenya’s large Asian community also stepped up to help, bringing in loads of vegetables and other produce before the outbreak began. Under Pankaj’s leadership, volunteers formed Team Pankaj and began putting hampers (餐篮) together that are designed to feed families in need for up to five weeks. “One old woman told us she hadn’t eaten for days,” Pankaj said. “People were getting hungry and angry.” After just three weeks, they were able to send out more than 24,000 food hampers! Mother Teresa once said, “If you can’t feed a hundred people, then feed just one.” Her lifelong mission was to serve the poor through acts of kindness and generosity. Pankaj and his army of volunteers have taken her philanthropy a step further. 56．When did Pankaj Shah meet Mother Teresa?
