As the simple act of shopping and preparing food for dinner becomes harder to fit in,a way to help meet consumer needs and change the way we shop and eat has grown:meal-delivery plans. Here's a quick review of some popular options: 1.HelloFresh HelloFresh provides high-quality ingredients and generous portions ()with recipes that are generally easy to prepare.The clear,step-by-step instructions get even the newest home chefs up to speed,and the recipe cards are well-made,so you can refer to your favorite recipes again and again.

Cost:$8.75 to $9.99 per serving,with up to 16 servings per week. 2.Freshly Get fresh,home-cooked food without the trouble of actually cooking.This subscription service delivers comfort foods to your doorstep,and the meals are prepared right before delivery.Never frozen and only requiring minimal reheating,they'ne nutritious and cost less than many standard takeout options. Cost:$7.99 to $11.50 per serving,with up to 12 servings per week. 3.Blue Apron Blue Apron is full of fresh ingredients,with traditional or vegetarian options.Like many of the plans,the food is delivered in one big box and the recipe card is separate from the meal ingredients.Ihe variety is good and the recipes are generally easy to prepare. Cost:$7.49 to $9.99 per serving,with up to 16 servings per week. 4.EveryPlate EveryPlate offers simpler meals for a lower cost.Users can choose between eight recipes each week,so there isn't a lot of flexibility for different dietary needs,but the recipes are full of flavor and give subscribers generous portions.If you're looking for an affordable way to get into meal kits,EveryPlate is a good option.

Those words made me see clearly that when I had fallen short in the past,it was seldom because I had tried and failed.It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all.On the other hand,whenever I had plunged into deep water,forced by courage or circumstance,I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again. Boldness means a decision to bite off more than you can eat.And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces.They are potential powers we possess:energy,skill,sound judgment,creative ideas-even physical strength greater than most of us realize. Admittedly,those mighty forces are spiritual ones.But they are more important than physical ones. A college classmate of mine,Tim,was an excellent football player,even though he weighed much less than the average player."In one game I suddenly found myself confronting a huge player,who had nothing but me between him and our goal line,"said Tim."I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet-and stopped him cold." Boldness-a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme-is not one that can be acquired overnight.But it can be taught to children and developed in adults.Confidence builds up.Surely,there will be setbacks and disappointments in life;boldness in itself is no guarantee of success.But the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing and succeeds. So,always try to live a little bit beyond your abilities-and you'll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreamed. 39.Why was the author sometimes unable to reach his goal in the past? A.He faced huge risks. B.He lacked mighty forces. C.Fear prevented him from trying. D.Failure blocked his way to success. 第4页共10页 40.What is the implied meaning of the underlined part in Paragraph 3? A.Swallow more than you can digest. B.Act slightly above your abilities. C.Develop more mysterious powers. D.Learn to make creative decisions. 41.What can be learned from Paragraph 57 A.Confidence grows more rapidly in adults. B.Trying without success is meaningless. C.Repeated failure creates a better life. D.Boldness can be gained little by little. 42.What is the author's purpose in writing this passage? A.To encourage people to be courageous. B.To advise people to build up physical power. C.To tell people the ways to guarantee success. D.To recommend people to develop more abilities. c During the final scenes of the movie,Lord of the Rings:Return of the King,we experience the full range of emotions.We hold our breath as the fire surrounds Frodo;we cheer when Gandalf saves him.So what's going on?There must be a special kind of movie magic that makes us care about what we know isn't real.As it happens,there is a special kind of magic,but it's not in the movie.It's in the minds of people who watch it.Dr.Norman Holland,professor of the University of Florida,believes this magic is particularly potent when we watch movies on the big screen. "The first thing that happens,"he argues,"is thar you give up control.The movie is in control."In normal life our brains are like tractor beams(牵引光束)，busy taking in any information that seems important or interesting.This is called the attentional system.But as the characters come alive on screen, we stop sensing our body.Psychologists call this kind of mental state "flow":when our attention is completely absorbed in one activity and there isn't any juice left in our attentional system to take in any more information.We are ettortessly swept along in the currents of the ride.This is why we love the movies:it's like going on a roller coaster for the brain. But there's another kind of magic at work here too:in a movie theater,as we give up control,our sense of reality changes.Deep down we know that what we're seeing is make-believe,but because we're not going to act upon it,because it doesn't have a direct physical bearing upon us,we don't test if it is real.It's like that part of our brain goes on a temporary vacation.Something else is happening in the brain to make this possible too.The mind has different abilities,and each one has a distinct place in the brain.Our knowledge that we're only watching a movie happens in the front part of our brain.But emotions come from the limbic system(边缘系统)，in the back of the brain.Bven though our front brain knows that a movie isn't real,the back brain never gets the message. Sadly,the intensity of the emotions that movies produce in us may be decreasing.At home,or on our smart phones,movies are wonderfully convenient.But watching in this way limits their magic because we're in control:we have the power to stop the film or fast forward bits we don't like."If you're 第6页共10页 not giving up control to the movie,"Holland says,"you're getting a thinned-out movie experience." More control might be more convenient,but it won't mean more magic.Surely,we deserve better than that,and Frodo does too. 43.What does the underlined word "potent"in Paragraph 1 most probably mean? A.Complicated. B.Temporary. C.Subjective. D.Bffective. 44.Why does the author mention a roller coaster? A.To illustrate the excitement that a movie can provide. B.To explain the filmmaking techniques used by directors. C.To demonstrate the working state of the attentional system.- D.To describe psychological methods involved in seeing a movie. 45.What can we leam from this passage? A.Distinct parts of our brain are interactive. B.The limbic system can help us sense the reality. C.Going to theatres creates better viewing experience. D.Movies on phones can take us to the state of flow easily. 46.Which of the following would be the oest title for the passage? A.Your Brain on Movies B.Emotions out of Control C.The Rise of Movie Theatres D.Different Choices of Moviegoers D The last decade saw the rise of the field of "plant neurobiology".That debatable field is based on the idea that plants-which do not possess brains-handle information in ways similar to complicated animal nervous systems.This thinking implies that plants could feel happiness or sorrow or pain,make intentional decisions and even possess consciousness.But the chances of that are "effectively zero," Lincoln Taiz and colleagues write in an opinion piece in Trends in Plant Science."There's nothing in the plant remotely comparable to the complexity of the animal brain,"says Taiz,from the University of California,Santa Cruz. Some plants are capable of complicated behavior.Wounded leaves can send waming signals to other parts of the plant,and harmful chemicals can warn animals that eat them.Some plants may even have a version of short-term memory:Tiny sensing hairs can count the number of touches that come from a clumsy insect.But plants perform these with equipment that's very different from the nervous systems of animals,no brain required,Taiz argues. He and colleagues point out methodological faults in some of the studies that claim plants have brain-like command centers,animal-like nerve cells and changing patterns of electricity that are similar to activity found in animal brains.But beyond the debate over how these studies are conducted,Taiz's team argues that plant consciousness doesn't even make sense from an evolutionary point of view. 第6页共10页 Complicated animal brains advanced in part to help a living being catch a meal and avoid becoming one,Taiz says.But plants are rooted to the ground and rely on sunlight for energy,an inactive lifestyle that doesn't require quick thinking or outsmarting a predator-or the energetically expensive nervous systems that enable those behaviors. "What use would consciousness be to a plant?e Taiz asks.The energy required to power awareness would be too costly,and the benefit from such awareness too small.If a plant worried and suffered when faced with a threat,it would be wasting so much energy that it wouldn't have any left to do anything about that threat,Taiz says. Imagine a forest fire."It's unbearable to even consider the idea that plants would be conscious beings aware of the fact that they're being burned to ashes,watching the young trees die in front of them,"Taiz says.The frightening scene illustrates "what it would actually cost a plant to have consciousness.” Furthermore,plants have plenty to do without having to be conscious,too.With sunlight,carbon dioxide and water,plants create the compounds (that sustain much of the rest of life on Barth, Taiz points out,"Isn't that enough?" 47.According to Paragraph 1,a plant neurobiologist would most probably agree that A.plants are capable of independent thinking B.plants are as biologically complex as animals C.plants developed nervous systems for survival D.plants feel emotions in the same way as animals 48.What does the underlined "one"in Paragraph 4 refer to? A.A predator.B.A meal.C.An inactive plant D.A living being. 49.Which statement does Linchol Taiz believe? A.Plants possess brain-like command centers. B.The lifestyle of plants requires nervous systems. C.It is unnecessary for plants to have consciousness. D.Nervous systems enable plants to fight their predators. 50.Lincoln Taiz introduces a forest fire to A.suggest new ways to study the behaviors of plants B.discuss the possibility of plants escaping a disaster C.illustrate how plants make decisions in face of dangers D.prove consciousness would do plants more harm than good 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。 Music festivals are,for many people,the purest and most enjoyable way to experience live music. 51 But you can always spot an experienced festival goer;they're the clean,relaxed,non-sunburned ones with the hammock ()the Nalgene water bottle,and the highlighted schedule.Take their 第7页共10页 example,and you'll have more fun than you've ever had. 52Most music festivals that charge money have graduated pricing,where tickets are sold at"Barly Bird"prices,advance prices and gate prices.You can save yourself a fat chunk of change if you get the early bird tickets.Also,at festivals that sell camping,get your camping tickets early.If they sell out,you'll be stuck staying off-site.Take care of other reservations early,too:plane tickets,car rental reservations,ctc. 53 Music festivals generally publish a schedule well before the event.Print one out off the festival's website and highlight your"must-see"bands.But remember:be careful not to be too rigidl Spontaneous (jam sessions,great bands you've never heard of,festival stages running late and so on can interrupt your plans.This is not a bad thingl It just helps to have a game plan going in.
