Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) I’m a huge fan of the Pacific Northwest and its bright green forests, rough coastline, and beaches decorated with wood, but visiting a top national park in summer often brings the opposite of what I come for — being alone — as huge crowds try hard to park and take photos. So, my last visit to Olympic National Park was in mid-September. I ended up bathing in the peace and quiet of forest among ancient trees and staying close enough to nearby communities to feel safe. I thought that taking the jump from my comfortable hotel room in the park into the great outdoors was unpleasant at first. However, once I began walking slowly and aimlessly along the Hoh River Trail there and slowing down to observe beautiful sunlight and tiny mushrooms that looked like colorful umbrellas, I felt my breath deepen and my nervous system begin to relax for the first time in a long time. What I want to say is that just because the world seems obviously set up for twosomes doesn’t mean you have to let such a standard keep you from living your dreams right now. Solo travel has made me stronger and braver than I ever thought possible. It has opened up my worldview by throwing me out of my comfort zone again and again. When it comes to living conditions, the national park not only offers 15 campgrounds across its huge area, it’s also home to five other choices for guests who would prefer not to sleep alone inside a tent — the small national park houses. Although I enjoy being alone, I have to admit that one of the coolest things about these small houses is that they are there to strengthen connection among strangers, and as such, there is usually a big fireplace next to excellent armchairs and sofas where guests can move around and make small talks at night. In one small house called Lake Quinault, I talked with grey-haired seniors about the best old-growth forest walks and asked hotel workers about the Roosevelt Dining Room (so named after Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the president during 1933-1945, came to visit), right next door. 46.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是夹叙夹议文。文章主要介绍作者独自在奥林匹克公园里面的森林旅行的经历和看法。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“I’m a huge fan of the Pacific Northwest and its bright green forests, rough coastline, and beaches decorated with wood, but visiting a top national park in summer often brings the opposite of what I come for — being alone — as huge crowds try hard to park and take photos. So, my last visit to Olympic National Park was in mid-September. (我是太平洋西北部的超级粉丝，那里有明亮的绿色森林、崎岖的海岸线和用木头装饰的海滩，但夏天去顶级国家公园往往会带来与我相反的结果——独自一人——因为大群人都在努力停车和拍照。所以，我最后一次参观奥林匹克国家公园是在9月中旬。)”可知，夏天去顶级国家公园会遇到大量的人群，所以这让作者避免在夏天去奥林匹克国家公园。故选B。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Solo travel has made me stronger and braver than I ever thought possible. It has opened up my worldview by throwing me out of my comfort zone again and again. (独自旅行使我变得比我想象的更坚强、更勇敢。它一次又一次地把我从舒适区抛出去，打开了我的世界观。)”可知，作者认为，独自旅行可以不断地开放她的世界观。故选A。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Although I enjoy being alone, I have to admit that one of the coolest things about these small houses is that they are there to strengthen connection among strangers, and as such, there is usually a big fireplace next to excellent armchairs and sofas where guests can move around and make small talks at night. (虽然我喜欢独处，但我不得不承认，这些小房子最酷的一点是，它们可以加强陌生人之间的联系，因此，在出色的扶手椅和沙发旁边通常有一个大壁炉，客人可以在晚上四处走动并进行闲聊。)”可知，房子里的大壁炉可以加强人与人之间的联系。故选C。 【49题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“I’m a huge fan of the Pacific Northwest and its bright green forests, rough coastline, and beaches decorated with wood, but visiting a top national park in summer often brings the opposite of what I come for — being alone — as huge crowds try hard to park and take photos. So, my last visit to Olympic National Park was in mid-September. I ended up bathing in the peace and quiet of forest among ancient trees and staying close enough to nearby communities to feel safe. (我是太平洋西北部的超级粉丝，那里有明亮的绿色森林、崎岖的海岸线和用木头装饰的海滩，但夏天去顶级国家公园往往会带来与我相反的结果——独自一人——因为大群人都在努力停车和拍照。所以，我最后一次参观奥林匹克国家公园是在9月中旬。我最终沐浴在古树丛中的宁静森林中，并与附近的社区保持足够的距离，感到安全。)”可知，这篇文章主要介绍作者独自在奥林匹克公园里面的森林旅行的经历和看法。故选B。 (B) （B） Thank you for your interest in becoming a homeowner with Habitat. Habitat is committed to providing qualified households with the opportunity for affordable homeownership. We follow an equal policy of homebuyer selection and are accountable to mortgage (按揭贷款) lending laws. We manage the homeowner selection and approval process at the local level. Qualified homebuyers must be: In need of safe, affordable housing Applicants may be dealing with substandard housing that is poorly built, damaged, or inaccessible due to disabilities. Low-income or moderate-income Household income must not go over 60% of the area average income defined annually by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Able and willing to pay an affordable mortgage Habitat ensures that the monthly mortgage payments do not go beyond 30% of the homebuyer’s monthly income.  Willing to partner with Habitat Once selected, homebuyers must partner with Habitat throughout the process. This partnership includes performing “sweat equity”, such as conducting construction work on their home or another family’s home, clearing build sites to make way for new construction, writing thank-you cards to local donors and so on. The following is an overview of the homeownership process： Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Step 6 Step 1: ... Step 2: ... Step 3: ... Step 4: ... Step 5: Homebuyers complete the paperwork for a mortgage, which ends with their signature. Step 6: Once all of the forms are signed and all of the construction is complete, it’s time to move in and celebrate! 50. The main purpose of Habitat is to ______. A. apply for bank loans for those in need of home B. build houses with the help of future homeowners C. offer houses to families with low or moderate income D. enable affordable homeownership for specific families 51. What can be learned from the passage? A. Low-wage workers may have little chance of being selected by Habitat. B. Homebuyers can partner with Habitat by performing construction work. C.

A. ②④③① B. ②①④③ C. ①④③② D. ①②④③ 【答案】50. D 51. B 52. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Habitat为符合条件的家庭提供经济适用房所有权机会的相关内容。 【50题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Habitat is committed to providing qualified households with the opportunity for affordable homeownership. (Habitat致力于为符合条件的家庭提供负担得起的房屋所有权的机会。)”可知，其目的为符合条件的家庭提供经济适用房所有权的机会，故选D。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据Willing to partner with Habitat中的“Once selected, homebuyers must partner with Habitat throughout the process. This partnership includes performing “sweat equity”, such as conducting construction work on their home or another family’s home, clearing build sites to make way for new construction, writing thank-you cards to local donors and so on. (一旦被选中，购房者必须在整个过程中和Habitat合作。这种伙伴关系包括执行“血汗权益”，例如在他们的家或另一个家庭的家里进行建筑工作，清理建筑工地为新建筑让路，给当地捐助者写感谢卡等等。)”可知，购房者可以通过进行建筑工作与Habitat合作，故选B。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据图片可知首先应该是有信息发布会，让潜在购房者了解项目，所以②“有信息会议，潜在的房主可以了解他们的房屋所有权计划，提出问题并建立联系。”应为第一步；根据图片可知如果家庭觉得合适，就在开放申请期申请，所以④“如果一个家庭觉得Habitat的房屋所有权计划适合他们，他们可以在公开申请期间在当地申请。”应为第二步；根据图片可知接着Habitat工作人员会家访，所以③“Habitat的工作人员进行家访，以更多地了解潜在的未来房主与Habitat合作的愿望。”应是第三步；根据图片可知最后工作人员和志愿者审核申请并提交给董事会，所以①“当地Habitat的工作人员和志愿者仔细审查每个家庭的申请材料，并向当地董事会提交他们的建议。”应是第四步，故选A。 (C) Those who had the pleasure of watching Benny Goodman at work saw a rather ordinary-looking man in rimless glasses and a conservative business suit; but they also saw a human being who could play the clarinet(单簧管) like no one before or since. This made Benny Goodman a unique individual. Other Americans who have stood out from the flock include Joe DiMaggio, Beverly Sill, Ernest Hemingway and Jonas Salk. They, like Benny Goodman, were recognized and honored for no other reason than excellence. It is doing something better than other people that makes us unique. Yet a surprising number of people still see individuality as a surface thing. They wear garish clothes, dye their hair strange colors and decorate their skin with tattoos to make some kind of social statement. But an ordinary guy who has dyed his hair purple or orange is nothing more than the same person with a funny-looking head. The whole purpose of individuality is excellence. Those who invent, who improvise(即兴发挥), who know more about a subject than other people do, and who take something that doesn’t work and make it work––these people are the very soul of capitalism. Charles Kettering didn’t like the idea of cranking a car to make it start, so he invented the electric starter. Henry Ford figured out the assembly-line technique and made it possible to mass-produce automobiles, and Elisha Otis, inventor of the elevator, indirectly created the city sky-line. These people understood that individualism means working at the top of one’s capacity. The ones with the purple hair and the funky jewelry are just along for the ride, trying to be “different” and not knowing how to go about it. The student who earns straight A’s on his report card has grasped the idea and has found the real meaning of individuality. So has the youngster who has designed his own spaceship, who gives piano recitals, who paints pictures of the world around him. Benny Goodman understood it too. This is why he was at his best, blowing his clarinet, in a blue suit and black shoes. 53. The author mentions the appearance of Benny Goodman to _________. A. show what a talented musician should look like B. introduce an important figure in the musical world C. contrast with his talent in music performance D. indicate that he can’t stand out from the flock 54. The author would most probably agree that _________. A. an individualist tends to seek difference both in character and appearance B. the essence of individualism lies in pursuing excellence to the full C. being different in appearance is the very first step to being individual D. those who strive to win the recognition of others are real individualists 55. According to the passage, which individual’s actions may not truly embody the essence of individualism? A. A scientist who conducts research solely advancing knowledge for the greater good rather than for personal recognition. B. A social media influencer who conforms to popular opinions to maintain a large following. C. An artist who creates unique works but fail to gain fame and recognition from others. D. An entrepreneur who prioritizes ethical considerations over profit in his business practices. 56. For the main thread, the article is organized by way of __________. A. specific to general B. cause and effect C. examples and conclusion D. comparison and contrast 【答案】53. C 54. B 55. B 56. D 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了什么是个人主义，个人主义有什么特点。 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Those who had the pleasure of watching Benny Goodman at work saw a rather ordinary-looking man in rimless glasses and a conservative business suit; but they also saw a human being who could play the clarinet(单簧管) like no one before or since. This made Benny Goodman a unique individual. (那些有幸观看本尼·古德曼工作的人看到的是一个相当普通的人，戴着无框眼镜，穿着保守的西装;但他们也看到了一个能演奏单簧管的人，在这之前和之后都没有人能做到。这使本尼·古德曼成为一个独特的个体。)”可知，作者提到本尼·古德曼的外表与他在音乐表演方面的天赋形成对比。故选C。 【54题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“The whole purpose of individuality is excellence. Those who invent, who improvise(即兴发挥), who know more about a subject than other people do, and who take something that doesn’t work and make it work—these people are the very soul of capitalism. (个性的全部目的就是追求卓越。那些发明创造，即兴发挥，比别人更了解一个主题，并采取无效的东西，并使其发挥作用的人-这些人是资本主义的灵魂。)”可知，作者可能同意个人主义的本质在于追求卓越。故选B。 【55题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段“Charles Kettering didn’t like the idea of cranking a car to make it start, so he invented the electric starter. Henry Ford figured out the assembly-line technique and made it possible to mass-produce automobiles, and Elisha Otis, inventor of the elevator, indirectly created the city sky-line. These people understood that individualism means working at the top of one’s capacity. (查尔斯·凯特林不喜欢用曲棍发动汽车，所以他发明了电动启动器。亨利·福特发明了装配线技术，使大规模生产汽车成为可能，而电梯的发明者伊莱沙·奥蒂斯间接地创造了城市的天际线。这些人明白，个人主义意味着尽自己最大的努力工作。)”可知，一个符合大众观点保持大量追随者的社交媒体影响者不能真正体现个人主义的本质。故选B。 【56题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Those who had the pleasure of watching Benny Goodman at work saw a rather ordinary-looking man in rimless glasses and a conservative business suit; but they also saw a human being who could play the clarinet(单簧管) like no one before or since. This made Benny Goodman a unique individual. (那些有幸观看本尼·古德曼工作的人看到的是一个相当普通的人，戴着无框眼镜，穿着保守的西装;但他们也看到了一个能演奏单簧管的人，在这之前和之后都没有人能做到。这使本尼·古德曼成为一个独特的个体。)”和第三段“It is doing something better than other people that makes us unique. Yet a surprising number of people still see individuality as a surface thing. They wear garish clothes, dye their hair strange colors and decorate their skin with tattoos to make some kind of social statement. But an ordinary guy who has dyed his hair purple or orange is nothing more than the same person with a funny-looking head. (比别人做得更好让我们与众不同。然而，令人惊讶的是，仍有相当多的人认为个性只是表面现象。他们穿着花哨的衣服，把头发染成奇怪的颜色，用纹身装饰自己的皮肤，以表达某种社会声明。但是一个把头发染成紫色或橙色的普通人只不过是一个长着滑稽脑袋的人。)”可知，本文主要采用比较和对比的方式进行组织。故选D。 Section C (8’) Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. First it was pets, then fish. Now it’s chickens and pigs. The list of animals allowed to feed on insects is growing. A new EU law authorizes the use of insect protein in chicken and pig feed. ____57____ This is a significant milestone for an industry keen to worm its way into the animal-feed business. Since a ban on processed animal protein was imposed in 2001 in the wake of the “mad cow” disease, soybean and fish meal have become the basis of animal feed in Europe. But their production needs lots of space and can harm the environment. ____58____ Insects are just the ticket. They are raised in vertical farms that require little land or water. They can be fed on agricultural by-products or food waste such as rotting fruit and vegetables. They’re also a natural fit. Most wild fish, birds and pigs eat insects. The one thing going against them is price. Insect protein is two to three times more expensive than fish meal, and many times pricier than soybean. ____59____ Rabobank, a Dutch lender, predicts that global insect production will reach 500,000 tonnes a year by 2030, up from just 10,000 tonnes currently. Prices are expected to drop as well. ____60____ They may boost growth rates and immune systems as well as filling stomachs. They also provide a more sustainable alternative. This year the European Food Safety Agency has ruled that three species of insects — yellow mealworm, locusts and house crickets — are safe for humans to eat. Oddly, people seem less keen on the idea than chickens and pigs. A. However, scaling up production may help reduce the price. B. Some producers worry whether insects can be bred at a commercial scale. C. Therefore feed manufacturers are actively seeking sustainable alternatives. D. Meanwhile, research suggests insects may be more than mere feed. E. It came into force earlier this month. F. Despite marketing efforts, consumer acceptance of insect-based food is still low. 【答案】57. E 58. C 59. A 60. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了欧盟一项允许在鸡和猪饲料中使用昆虫蛋白的新法律，分析了用昆虫作饲料的优势、面临的价格问题及发展前景。 【57题详解】 上文“A new EU law authorizes the use of insect protein in chicken and pig feed.(一项新的欧盟法律批准在鸡和猪饲料中使用昆虫蛋白)”提到了新法律。E选项“It came into force earlier this month.(该法律本月早些时候生效)”中的“It”指代上文的“a new EU law”，进一步说明法律的生效时间，与上下文衔接自然。故选E项。 【58题详解】 上文“Since a ban on processed animal protein was imposed in 2001 in the wake of the ‘mad cow’ disease, soybean and fish meal have become the basis of animal feed in Europe. But their production needs lots of space and can harm the environment.(自2001年“疯牛病”爆发后实施加工动物蛋白禁令以来，大豆和鱼粉已成为欧洲动物饲料的基础。但它们的生产需要大量空间，而且会对环境造成危害)”指出了现有饲料的弊端。C选项“Therefore feed manufacturers are actively seeking sustainable alternatives.(因此，饲料制造商正在积极寻找可持续的替代品)”与上文构成因果关系，因为现有饲料有问题，所以要寻找替代品，逻辑合理。故选C项。 【59题详解】 上文“The one thing going against them is price. Insect protein is two to three times more expensive than fish meal, and many times pricier than soybean.(对它们不利的一点是价格。昆虫蛋白的价格是鱼粉的两到三倍，比大豆贵很多倍)”说明了昆虫蛋白价格高的问题。A选项“However, scaling up production may help reduce the price.(然而，扩大生产规模可能有助于降低价格)”与上文构成转折关系，提出了解决价格问题的办法，且与下文提到的产量增加和价格下降相呼应。故选A项。 【60题详解】 下文“They may boost growth rates and immune systems as well as filling stomachs. They also provide a more sustainable alternative.(它们不仅可以填饱肚子，还可能提高生长速度和增强免疫系统。它们还提供了一种更可持续的选择)”说明了昆虫除了作为饲料，还有其他好处。D选项“Meanwhile, research suggests insects may be more than mere feed.(与此同时，研究表明昆虫可能不仅仅是饲料)”引出下文对昆虫其他作用的介绍，起到了承上启下的作用。故选D项。 IV.

I think this rule is helpful for students. Last year, I took part in a small project about rubbish sorting in my community, which brought me a lot of new experience. I talked with my neighbours and collected useful information. I believe that this task can improve our practical skills that we cannot learn only from textbooks. First, it teaches us how to find problems and work out plans. Besides, when we do research in groups, we learn to communicate with others. Though it takes some free time, it helps us grow into people who can think independently. In short, this rule is a good try for high school education. 【解析】 【导语】题目要求考生表达对上海高中生课题研究毕业要求的看法并结合实例说明理由。 【详解】1.词汇积累 规则：rule→ regulation 完成：finish→ complete 提高：improve→ enhance 收集：collect→ gather 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：I talked with my neighbours and collected useful information. 拓展句：I talked with my neighbours who offered me help and collected useful information. 【点睛】【高分句型1】Last year, I took part in a small project about rubbish sorting in my community, which brought me a lot of new experience.（运用了which引导的非限制性定语从句） 【高分句型2】I believe that this task can improve our practical skills that we cannot learn only from textbooks.（运用了第一个that引导的宾语从句、第二个that引导的限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026-2027学年高二上学期期中考试 英 语 I.

A. local B. distant C. sacred D. private Section B (22’) Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) I’m a huge fan of the Pacific Northwest and its bright green forests, rough coastline, and beaches decorated with wood, but visiting a top national park in summer often brings the opposite of what I come for — being alone — as huge crowds try hard to park and take photos. So, my last visit to Olympic National Park was in mid-September. I ended up bathing in the peace and quiet of forest among ancient trees and staying close enough to nearby communities to feel safe. I thought that taking the jump from my comfortable hotel room in the park into the great outdoors was unpleasant at first. However, once I began walking slowly and aimlessly along the Hoh River Trail there and slowing down to observe beautiful sunlight and tiny mushrooms that looked like colorful umbrellas, I felt my breath deepen and my nervous system begin to relax for the first time in a long time. What I want to say is that just because the world seems obviously set up for twosomes doesn’t mean you have to let such a standard keep you from living your dreams right now. Solo travel has made me stronger and braver than I ever thought possible. It has opened up my worldview by throwing me out of my comfort zone again and again. When it comes to living conditions, the national park not only offers 15 campgrounds across its huge area, it’s also home to five other choices for guests who would prefer not to sleep alone inside a tent — the small national park houses. Although I enjoy being alone, I have to admit that one of the coolest things about these small houses is that they are there to strengthen connection among strangers, and as such, there is usually a big fireplace next to excellent armchairs and sofas where guests can move around and make small talks at night. In one small house called Lake Quinault, I talked with grey-haired seniors about the best old-growth forest walks and asked hotel workers about the Roosevelt Dining Room (so named after Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the president during 1933-1945, came to visit), right next door. 46. What made the author avoid visiting Olympic National Park in summer? A. The wish to stay close to communities. B. The likelihood to meet crowds of people. C. The quiet environment in an ancient forest. D. The rough coastlines and the woody beaches. 47. According to paragraph 2, the author thinks that traveling alone can ______. A. keep opening up her worldview B. slow her down in living her dreams C. stop her leaving her comfortable zone D. give her a chance to stay in hotel rooms 48. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Seniors in Lake Quinault are the best forest walkers there. B. The park offers five completely different places to stay in. C. Big fireplaces in houses are meant to strengthen connection. D. The author stayed in a house next door to a famous president. 49. The passage is mainly about ______. A. the author’s love for the Pacific Northwest B. the author’s solo trip to Olympic National Park C. the greatest tourist attractions in Olympic National Park D. the brief comparison between group travel and solo ones (B) （B） Thank you for your interest in becoming a homeowner with Habitat. Habitat is committed to providing qualified households with the opportunity for affordable homeownership. We follow an equal policy of homebuyer selection and are accountable to mortgage (按揭贷款) lending laws. We manage the homeowner selection and approval process at the local level. Qualified homebuyers must be: In need of safe, affordable housing Applicants may be dealing with substandard housing that is poorly built, damaged, or inaccessible due to disabilities.

Able and willing to pay an affordable mortgage Habitat ensures that the monthly mortgage payments do not go beyond 30% of the homebuyer’s monthly income.  Willing to partner with Habitat Once selected, homebuyers must partner with Habitat throughout the process. This partnership includes performing “sweat equity”, such as conducting construction work on their home or another family’s home, clearing build sites to make way for new construction, writing thank-you cards to local donors and so on. The following is an overview of the homeownership process： Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Step 6 Step 1: ... Step 2: ... Step 3: ... Step 4: ... Step 5: Homebuyers complete the paperwork for a mortgage, which ends with their signature.

A. ②④③① B. ②①④③ C. ①④③② D. ①②④③ (C) Those who had the pleasure of watching Benny Goodman at work saw a rather ordinary-looking man in rimless glasses and a conservative business suit; but they also saw a human being who could play the clarinet(单簧管) like no one before or since. This made Benny Goodman a unique individual. Other Americans who have stood out from the flock include Joe DiMaggio, Beverly Sill, Ernest Hemingway and Jonas Salk. They, like Benny Goodman, were recognized and honored for no other reason than excellence. It is doing something better than other people that makes us unique. Yet a surprising number of people still see individuality as a surface thing. They wear garish clothes, dye their hair strange colors and decorate their skin with tattoos to make some kind of social statement. But an ordinary guy who has dyed his hair purple or orange is nothing more than the same person with a funny-looking head. The whole purpose of individuality is excellence. Those who invent, who improvise(即兴发挥), who know more about a subject than other people do, and who take something that doesn’t work and make it work––these people are the very soul of capitalism. Charles Kettering didn’t like the idea of cranking a car to make it start, so he invented the electric starter. Henry Ford figured out the assembly-line technique and made it possible to mass-produce automobiles, and Elisha Otis, inventor of the elevator, indirectly created the city sky-line. These people understood that individualism means working at the top of one’s capacity. The ones with the purple hair and the funky jewelry are just along for the ride, trying to be “different” and not knowing how to go about it. The student who earns straight A’s on his report card has grasped the idea and has found the real meaning of individuality. So has the youngster who has designed his own spaceship, who gives piano recitals, who paints pictures of the world around him. Benny Goodman understood it too. This is why he was at his best, blowing his clarinet, in a blue suit and black shoes. 53. The author mentions the appearance of Benny Goodman to _________. A. show what a talented musician should look like B. introduce an important figure in the musical world C. contrast with his talent in music performance D. indicate that he can’t stand out from the flock 54. The author would most probably agree that _________. A. an individualist tends to seek difference both in character and appearance B. the essence of individualism lies in pursuing excellence to the full C. being different in appearance is the very first step to being individual D. those who strive to win the recognition of others are real individualists 55. According to the passage, which individual’s actions may not truly embody the essence of individualism? A. A scientist who conducts research solely advancing knowledge for the greater good rather than for personal recognition. B. A social media influencer who conforms to popular opinions to maintain a large following. C. An artist who creates unique works but fail to gain fame and recognition from others. D. An entrepreneur who prioritizes ethical considerations over profit in his business practices. 56. For the main thread, the article is organized by way of __________. A. specific to general B. cause and effect C. examples and conclusion D. comparison and contrast Section C (8’) Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. First it was pets, then fish. Now it’s chickens and pigs. The list of animals allowed to feed on insects is growing. A new EU law authorizes the use of insect protein in chicken and pig feed. ____57____ This is a significant milestone for an industry keen to worm its way into the animal-feed business. Since a ban on processed animal protein was imposed in 2001 in the wake of the “mad cow” disease, soybean and fish meal have become the basis of animal feed in Europe. But their production needs lots of space and can harm the environment. ____58____ Insects are just the ticket. They are raised in vertical farms that require little land or water. They can be fed on agricultural by-products or food waste such as rotting fruit and vegetables. They’re also a natural fit. Most wild fish, birds and pigs eat insects. The one thing going against them is price. Insect protein is two to three times more expensive than fish meal, and many times pricier than soybean. ____59____ Rabobank, a Dutch lender, predicts that global insect production will reach 500,000 tonnes a year by 2030, up from just 10,000 tonnes currently. Prices are expected to drop as well. ____60____ They may boost growth rates and immune systems as well as filling stomachs. They also provide a more sustainable alternative. This year the European Food Safety Agency has ruled that three species of insects — yellow mealworm, locusts and house crickets — are safe for humans to eat. Oddly, people seem less keen on the idea than chickens and pigs. A. However, scaling up production may help reduce the price. B. Some producers worry whether insects can be bred at a commercial scale. C. Therefore feed manufacturers are actively seeking sustainable alternatives. D. Meanwhile, research suggests insects may be more than mere feed. E. It came into force earlier this month. F. Despite marketing efforts, consumer acceptance of insect-based food is still low. IV.
