People are paying careful attention to that advice, and millions of people choose to buy bottled water to drink. Unfortunately, many of these plastic water bottles are being thrown away. It can take centuries for these bottles to break down. For the last several years, three designers from Imperial College in London, England, have been working to address the problem of plastic bottles. The team’s goal is to “make packaging waste disappear”. To achieve that goal, these designers have developed a unique product called Ooho. Believe it or not, the Ooho is several small mouthfuls of water wrapped in a golf-ball-sized bubble (泡泡). You can make a hole in its skin and drink the water out of it. You can also throw the entire bubble in your mouth — no bottle needed! Ooho’s skin is made from seaweed (海草). It is nearly tasteless and easy for the body to take in. If people would rather not eat it, however, the skin can be thrown away. In less than a month, it will break down completely. The skin is very affordable to make. First, a ball of water is frozen in a special chemical solution (化学溶液). Next, it is put in a solution made of brown seaweed. Each bubble costs less than two cents to make. It is, therefore, a far cheaper replacement for plastic bottles. The three designers have been figuring out the flaws and searching for possible solutions. For example, the Ooho is great if someone just wants a single mouthful of water. But what if the person is especially thirsty and wants more? They are exploring the idea of making bigger bubbles and also searching for a way to connect several bubbles together. Another problem with the product has been how to transport it in packaging that is safe for the environment but still protects the bubbles from breaking. To find out if people are interested in Ooho, the designers have plans in place to hand out their bubbles next year at sporting events like marathons, as well as at entertainment sites. If Ooho becomes popular, people across the country may soon find themselves eating their water instead of drinking it! 1.The author writes the first paragraph to ________. A. answer a question B. express an opinion C. present a problem D. provide an example 2.What is Ooho? A. A protective skin. B. Bubbled water. C. A chemical solution. D. Plastic material. 3.What does the underlined word “flaws” in Paragraph 5 most probably mean? A. Functions. B. Wonders. C. Purposes. D. Weaknesses. 4.Which would be the best title for this passage? A. Water That You Can Eat B. Ways to Produce Plastic Bottles C. Waste That Pollutes Our Planet D. Bubbles to Improve Our Health Passage 8 （2024·北京·学业水平合格考）A houseplant is pretty to look at and brings fresh air to your home. Besides, looking after a plant will give you something more to do and care about. Let’s look at the four best houseplants you can grow. Australian Pine A perfect “living decoration” to add in your house, it is good to look at and has a comforting feel. It can also serve as the perfect Christmas tree. It grows around 10 feet tall indoors. Remember that it requires plenty of light and fresh air. Otherwise, it becomes weak and an easy target for mites (螨虫). Dracaena The green and yellow pattern on its leaves looks great. It can grow to be around 10 feet tall. Just make sure you keep the soil surface dry between your watering periods because it gets influenced by too much water. Also, having this plant around a dog can be dangerous. It can be poisonous to dogs if they eat it. Grape Ivy If you want something off the ceiling (天花板), this houseplant is the one for you. It’s a climbing plant, and it will make for a beautiful hanging basket decoration. The plant is full of life wherever it is hung. It needs to be kept wet in all its parts for good growth. Peperomia It is little in size, with long leaves. It adds energy to your living room and creates a comforting environment. As it’s not a very tall plant, you needn’t worry about how much space it will take up. The plant likes a dry surface of the soil. So what are you for? Choose the one that attracts you most, and give your home a wonderful addition. 1.Which of the following can serve as a Christmas tree? A. Australian pine. B. Dracaena. C. Grape ivy. D. Peperomia. 2.When keeping Dracaena as a houseplant, you should________. A. be careful with mites B. hang it from the celling C. keep dogs away from it D. leave the surface of the soil wet 3.What do you know about Peperomia? A. Its leaves are short. B. It is small in size. C. It likes much water. D. It is a climbing plant. 4.In which section of a website can you most likely find the passage? A. Politics. B. Business. C. Travel. D. Life.

Passage 10 （2025年1月·浙江·高考）When I was a child I was often told what not to eat. “You don’t want to get fat” was on constant repeat throughout my childhood. It really messed up my relationship with food — something that took me years to overcome. Because of this, I’m careful not to connect what my kids weigh with their worth as people. I encourage my daughter to make healthy snack choices and often dissuade (劝阻) her from a second dessert. But one day when I heard her saying “I think I’m too fat,” my heart sank. It made me wonder if giving her advice on snacks was having an unintentionally negative impact. According to Charlotte Markey, a professor of psychology, food is one of the rare subjects where, as parents, saying less is more. “There are so many things in parenting that are good to talk through, but I’m not convinced that food is one of them,” she says. “It just creates some worries and insecurities in kids that aren’t necessarily healthy.” Instead, she recommends applying a well-known concept among nutrition experts called the “Division of Responsibility,” where parents provide a variety of mostly healthy foods to their kids at fixed times, and the kids themselves decide what and how much they want to consume — even if that means occasionally eating more cookies than carrots. Allowing kids to eat what they want also exposes them to the natural consequences of their decisions. “When your child says, ‘My stomach hurts,’ you can say, ‘Well you had a lot of sugary foods and you might feel better if you made some other choices,’” says Markey. “Let them feel like they have some control over it.” I’ve been trying out these strategies and I’ve found that when I’m less restrictive, they do make better decisions. “Feeding is a long game,” says Markey. “The food you have available makes a huge difference. Even if they don’t eat it, they’ re seeing it. And then all of a sudden it clicks.” 1.What can be inferred about the author from the first paragraph? A. She is upset by her kids’ weight. B. She is critical of the way she was fed. C. She is interested in making food. D. She is particular about what she eats. 2.Which of the following would Markey disapprove of? A. Allowing kids to eat cookies occasionally. B. Offering various foods to kids at fixed times. C. Explaining to kids the risks of taking snacks. D. Talking with kids about school at mealtimes. 3.What should kids do according to the “Division of Responsibility”? A. Make diet decisions on their own. B. Share their food with other kids. C. Eat up what is provided for them. D. Help their parents do the dishes. 4.What does the author think of the strategies she has been following? A. Costly. B. Complex. C. Workable. D. Contradictory. Passage 11 （2025·广东·学业水平合格考）A yes-person is normally someone who says “yes” to everything; a request, a job, an opportunity, or an event. Some people think that saying “yes” to everything comes with risks. Things are good at first but might go wrong later. But, for me, saying “yes” has brought chances rather than worries. Here is a good example to show the power of saying “yes” and its effect on my life. My boss once asked me to give a speech to a large group of people. I had never done public speaking before, but I knew that I speech just fine. My boss was so pleased that he trusted me with more important tasks since then. Looking back on my work experiences I think about what would have happened if I had said “no” to some challenging tasks. Maybe I would never have made so much progress in my job. Saying “yes” has allowed me to move up at work, and I have grown from it. Saying “yes” to something that you might be uncomfortable with, like a task that is outside your comfort zone, can have positive results. Sometimes, you just need to give it a try. Actually if you want to get anywhere in life, you can’ t be lazy and closed off. It’s really that simple. 1.Why do some people think saying “yes” to everything is risky? A. They will lose chances. B. They are lazy with work. C. People may make more requests. D. Things might go wrong later. 2.The author succeeded in giving the speech because __________. A. he pressed himself for the task B. he admitted his stress C. he has interested in the topic D. he was trusted by his boss 3.What has saying “yes” brought to the author according to Paragraph 3? A. More regrets. B. Personal growth. C. Bigger worries. D. Lifelong friendship. 4.The underlined part in Paragraph 4 can be best replaced by ___________. A. pleasing B. important C. challenging D. dangerous 5.The author wrote the passage to __________. A. inspire people to live a simple life B. tell people about his work experience C. remind people of the risks of saying “yes” D. encourage people to say “yes” to challenges Passage 12 （2024·北京·学业水平合格考）In late June, two companies were given permits to sell chicken meat that has been grown in a lab. The companies say they will be serving the meat in restaurants this summer. Unlike normal chicken meat, lab-grown meat isn’t created by raising and killing chickens. Instead, it’s a meat product developed from animal cells that are grow n in a lab. The process is called “cell-based” or “cultured” meat. The process of creating lab-grown meat is completely different from the normal meat raising process. Scientists have known for a long time how to keep living cells alive and grow them in a lab. In this case, experts choose cells that can grow quickly and will have good flavour. The first cells come from live animals. Then the cells are grown inside large steel tanks, where they’re fed with everything they need to grow. In a few weeks, the cells grow into sheets of meat. The companies then form this meat into more familiar shapes that can be cooked and sold. The companies say that their meat is better for the environment than meat from animals. Raising animals for food uses huge amounts of land and water. It also creates a lot of pollution. Raising animals for food create s about 15% of the world’s greenhouse gases. That’s why cutting back on eating meat is one of the easiest ways to fight climate change. There are many companies these days that focus on making plant-based meat substitutes (替代物). But since lab-grown meat is made from animal cells, it is very hard to tell it apart from actual meat. It looks, smells, and tastes like chicken. Polls (民意调查) have shown that many people aren’t too interested in lab-grown meat. Lots of people believe that “it just sounds strange”. But Russel Phillips, a biologist, suggests people give it a try. He says that once people try the meat, they will be amazed. The common response must be, “Oh, it tastes like chicken.” But right now, the meat is far more expensive than meat from animals. Now that the companies have been approved, they have the huge challenge of figuring out how to make much more meat far more cheaply. It will probably be a long time before you’re able to buy lab-grown chicken in stores. 1.To produce lab-grown meat, the companies should________. A. study how to feed live animals. B. decide where to store meat products. C. add different flavours to sheets of meat. D. select cells suitable for producing meat. 2.As for producing lab-grown meat, Paragraph 4 is mainly about its________. A. future. B. advantage. C. techniques. D. process. 3.What is Russel Phillips’ attitude toward lab-grown meat? A. Doubtful. B. Worried. C. Supportive. D. Uninterested. 4.The lab-grown meat still has a problem with its________. A. quality. B. safety. C. price. D. taste.

People are paying careful attention to that advice, and millions of people choose to buy bottled water to drink. Unfortunately, many of these plastic water bottles are being thrown away. It can take centuries for these bottles to break down. For the last several years, three designers from Imperial College in London, England, have been working to address the problem of plastic bottles. The team’s goal is to “make packaging waste disappear”. To achieve that goal, these designers have developed a unique product called Ooho. Believe it or not, the Ooho is several small mouthfuls of water wrapped in a golf-ball-sized bubble (泡泡). You can make a hole in its skin and drink the water out of it. You can also throw the entire bubble in your mouth — no bottle needed! Ooho’s skin is made from seaweed (海草). It is nearly tasteless and easy for the body to take in. If people would rather not eat it, however, the skin can be thrown away. In less than a month, it will break down completely. The skin is very affordable to make. First, a ball of water is frozen in a special chemical solution (化学溶液). Next, it is put in a solution made of brown seaweed. Each bubble costs less than two cents to make. It is, therefore, a far cheaper replacement for plastic bottles. The three designers have been figuring out the flaws and searching for possible solutions. For example, the Ooho is great if someone just wants a single mouthful of water. But what if the person is especially thirsty and wants more? They are exploring the idea of making bigger bubbles and also searching for a way to connect several bubbles together. Another problem with the product has been how to transport it in packaging that is safe for the environment but still protects the bubbles from breaking. To find out if people are interested in Ooho, the designers have plans in place to hand out their bubbles next year at sporting events like marathons, as well as at entertainment sites. If Ooho becomes popular, people across the country may soon find themselves eating their water instead of drinking it! 1.The author writes the first paragraph to ________. A. answer a question B. express an opinion C. present a problem D. provide an example 2.What is Ooho? A. A protective skin. B. Bubbled water. C. A chemical solution. D. Plastic material. 3.What does the underlined word “flaws” in Paragraph 5 most probably mean? A. Functions. B. Wonders. C. Purposes. D. Weaknesses. 4.Which would be the best title for this passage? A. Water That You Can Eat B. Ways to Produce Plastic Bottles C. Waste That Pollutes Our Planet D. Bubbles to Improve Our Health 【答案】1. C　2. B　3. D　4. A 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲的是来自英国伦敦帝国理工学院的三位设计师开发了一种名为Ooho的独特产品，旨在解决塑料水瓶的浪费问题。 (1)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第一段“Unfortunately, many of these plastic water bottles are being thrown away. It can take centuries for these bottles to break down.(不幸的是，许多塑料水瓶都被扔掉了。这些瓶子可能需要几个世纪才能分解)”可推知，作者写第一段是为了呈现一个问题，即塑料要很长时间才能分解。故选C。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段“Believe it or not, the Ooho is several small mouthfuls of water wrapped in a golf-ball-sized bubble (泡泡).(信不信由你，Ooho就是几口水包裹在一个高尔夫球大小的泡泡里)”可知，Ooho是泡泡里的水。故选B。 (3)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段“For example, the Ooho is great if someone just wants a single mouthful of water. But what if the person is especially thirsty and wants more? They are exploring the idea of making bigger bubbles and also searching for a way to connect several bubbles together. Another problem with the product has been how to transport it in packaging that is safe for the environment but still protects the bubbles from breaking.(例如，如果有人只想要一口水，Ooho就很棒。但如果这个人特别渴，想要更多呢？他们正在探索制造更大气泡的想法，同时也在寻找一种将几个气泡连接在一起的方法。该产品的另一个问题是如何用对环境安全的包装运输，同时仍能保护气泡不破裂)”可知，这三个设计师一直都在找出这个产品的缺点，并寻找解决办法。由此可知，划线词flaws的意思是“缺点”，和weaknesses意思相近。故选D。 (4)题解析： 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第三段“Believe it or not, the Ooho is several small mouthfuls of water wrapped in a golf- ball- sized bubble (泡泡). You can make a hole in its skin and drink the water out of it. You can also throw the entire bubble in your mouth — no bottle needed!(信不信由你，Ooho就是几口水包裹在一个高尔夫球大小的泡泡里。你可以在它的皮肤上打一个洞，然后喝里面的水。你也可以把整个泡泡扔进嘴里——不需要瓶子！)”可知，本文主要讲的是来自英国伦敦帝国理工学院的三位设计师开发了一种名为Ooho的独特产品，旨在解决塑料水瓶的浪费问题。由此可知，最好的题目是A选项“Water That You Can Eat(你可以吃的水)”。故选A。 Passage 8 （2024·北京·学业水平合格考）A houseplant is pretty to look at and brings fresh air to your home. Besides, looking after a plant will give you something more to do and care about. Let’s look at the four best houseplants you can grow. Australian Pine A perfect “living decoration” to add in your house, it is good to look at and has a comforting feel. It can also serve as the perfect Christmas tree. It grows around 10 feet tall indoors. Remember that it requires plenty of light and fresh air. Otherwise, it becomes weak and an easy target for mites (螨虫). Dracaena The green and yellow pattern on its leaves looks great. It can grow to be around 10 feet tall. Just make sure you keep the soil surface dry between your watering periods because it gets influenced by too much water. Also, having this plant around a dog can be dangerous. It can be poisonous to dogs if they eat it. Grape Ivy If you want something off the ceiling (天花板), this houseplant is the one for you. It’s a climbing plant, and it will make for a beautiful hanging basket decoration. The plant is full of life wherever it is hung. It needs to be kept wet in all its parts for good growth. Peperomia It is little in size, with long leaves. It adds energy to your living room and creates a comforting environment. As it’s not a very tall plant, you needn’t worry about how much space it will take up. The plant likes a dry surface of the soil. So what are you for? Choose the one that attracts you most, and give your home a wonderful addition. 1.Which of the following can serve as a Christmas tree? A. Australian pine. B. Dracaena. C. Grape ivy. D.

It really messed up my relationship with food — something that took me years to overcome. Because of this, I’m careful not to connect what my kids weigh with their worth as people. I encourage my daughter to make healthy snack choices and often dissuade (劝阻) her from a second dessert. But one day when I heard her saying “I think I’m too fat,” my heart sank. It made me wonder if giving her advice on snacks was having an unintentionally negative impact. According to Charlotte Markey, a professor of psychology, food is one of the rare subjects where, as parents, saying less is more. “There are so many things in parenting that are good to talk through, but I’m not convinced that food is one of them,” she says. “It just creates some worries and insecurities in kids that aren’t necessarily healthy.” Instead, she recommends applying a well-known concept among nutrition experts called the “Division of Responsibility,” where parents provide a variety of mostly healthy foods to their kids at fixed times, and the kids themselves decide what and how much they want to consume — even if that means occasionally eating more cookies than carrots. Allowing kids to eat what they want also exposes them to the natural consequences of their decisions. “When your child says, ‘My stomach hurts,’ you can say, ‘Well you had a lot of sugary foods and you might feel better if you made some other choices,’” says Markey. “Let them feel like they have some control over it.” I’ve been trying out these strategies and I’ve found that when I’m less restrictive, they do make better decisions. “Feeding is a long game,” says Markey. “The food you have available makes a huge difference. Even if they don’t eat it, they’ re seeing it. And then all of a sudden it clicks.” 1.What can be inferred about the author from the first paragraph? A. She is upset by her kids’ weight. B. She is critical of the way she was fed. C. She is interested in making food. D. She is particular about what she eats. 2.Which of the following would Markey disapprove of? A. Allowing kids to eat cookies occasionally. B. Offering various foods to kids at fixed times. C. Explaining to kids the risks of taking snacks. D. Talking with kids about school at mealtimes. 3.What should kids do according to the “Division of Responsibility”? A. Make diet decisions on their own. B. Share their food with other kids. C. Eat up what is provided for them. D. Help their parents do the dishes. 4.What does the author think of the strategies she has been following? A. Costly. B. Complex. C. Workable. D. Contradictory. 【答案】1. B　2. C　3. A　4. C 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者自己因童年时被灌输饮食观念而影响了与食物的关系，心理学家建议家长在饮食上少干预，作者尝试策略后发现孩子能做更好的饮食决策。 (1)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第一段中“When I was a child I was often told what not to eat. ‘You don’t want to get fat’ was on constant repeat throughout my childhood. It really messed up my relationship with food — something that took me years to overcome. (当我还是个孩子的时候，我经常被告知什么不能吃。“你不想变胖”这句话在我整个童年时期不断重复。这真的搞砸了我与食物的关系 —— 这是我花了多年时间才克服的问题)”可知，作者童年时被灌输的饮食观念对其产生了负面影响，由此可推断出，作者对自己童年时被喂养的方式持批判态度。故选B项。 (2)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第二段“According to Charlotte Markey, a professor of psychology, food is one of the rare subjects where, as parents, saying less is more. ‘There are so many things in parenting that are good to talk through, but I’m not convinced that food is one of them,’ she says. ‘It just creates some worries and insecurities in kids that aren’t necessarily healthy.’ (根据心理学教授夏洛特·马基的说法，食物是为数不多的家长说得少反而更好的话题之一。“在育儿方面，有很多事情值得深入讨论，但我不认为食物是其中之一，”她说。“这只会给孩子们带来一些不必要的担忧和不安全感，这并不健康。”)”可知，马基不赞成家长和孩子过多谈论食物相关的话题，而向孩子解释吃零食的风险属于谈论食物的话题，所以马基不会赞成。故选C项。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段“Instead, she recommends applying a well known concept among nutrition experts called the ‘Division of Responsibility,’ where parents provide a variety of mostly healthy foods to their kids at fixed times, and the kids themselves decide what and how much they want to consume — even if that means occasionally eating more cookies than carrots. (相反，她建议应用营养专家中一个著名的概念，即‘责任划分’，在这个概念中，家长在固定的时间为孩子提供各种主要是健康的食物，而孩子自己决定想吃什么和吃多少 —— 即使这意味着偶尔吃的饼干比胡萝卜多)”可知，根据“责任划分”，孩子应该自己做饮食决策。故选A项。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I’ve been trying out these strategies and I’ve found that when I’m less restrictive, they do make better decisions. (我一直在尝试这些策略，我发现当我不那么严格限制时，他们确实会做出更好的决策)”可知，孩子们确实会做出更好的决策，所以作者会认为自己所遵循的策略是可行的。故选C项。 Passage 11 （2025·广东·学业水平合格考）A yes-person is normally someone who says “yes” to everything; a request, a job, an opportunity, or an event. Some people think that saying “yes” to everything comes with risks. Things are good at first but might go wrong later. But, for me, saying “yes” has brought chances rather than worries. Here is a good example to show the power of saying “yes” and its effect on my life. My boss once asked me to give a speech to a large group of people. I had never done public speaking before, but I knew that I speech just fine. My boss was so pleased that he trusted me with more important tasks since then. Looking back on my work experiences I think about what would have happened if I had said “no” to some challenging tasks. Maybe I would never have made so much progress in my job. Saying “yes” has allowed me to move up at work, and I have grown from it. Saying “yes” to something that you might be uncomfortable with, like a task that is outside your comfort zone, can have positive results. Sometimes, you just need to give it a try. Actually if you want to get anywhere in life, you can’ t be lazy and closed off. It’s really that simple. 1.Why do some people think saying “yes” to everything is risky? A. They will lose chances. B. They are lazy with work. C. People may make more requests. D. Things might go wrong later. 2.The author succeeded in giving the speech because __________. A. he pressed himself for the task B. he admitted his stress C. he has interested in the topic D. he was trusted by his boss 3.What has saying “yes” brought to the author according to Paragraph 3? A. More regrets. B. Personal growth. C. Bigger worries. D. Lifelong friendship. 4.The underlined part in Paragraph 4 can be best replaced by ___________. A. pleasing B. important C. challenging D. dangerous 5.The author wrote the passage to __________. A. inspire people to live a simple life B. tell people about his work experience C. remind people of the risks of saying “yes” D. encourage people to say “yes” to challenges 【答案】1. D　2. A　3. B　4. C　5. D 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，主要讲述了作者从说“yes”的处事方法中受益匪浅。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Some people think that saying “yes” to everything comes with risks. Things are good at first but might go wrong later.(有些人认为对一切说“是”都有风险。事情一开始很好，但以后可能会出问题。)”可知，这些人认为这么做的话，事情一开始或许还好，但是以后可能变坏。故选D项。 (2)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“I had never done public speaking before, but I knew that I speech just fine. My boss was so pleased that he trusted me with more important tasks since then.(我以前从未做过公开演讲，但我知道我的演讲还可以。我的老板非常高兴，从那以后，他把更重要的任务托付给了我。)”和第三段中的“Looking back on my work experiences I think about what would have happened if I had said “no” to some challenging tasks.(回顾我的工作经历，我想到了会发生什么，如果我对一些具有挑战性的任务说“不”的话。)”可推知，作者之前从未公开演讲过，但他接受了这个有挑战性的任务，并且成功完成任务。故选A项。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Saying “yes” has allowed me to move up at work, and I have grown from it.(说“是”让我在工作中取得了进步，我也从中成长起来。)”可知，说“是”让作者在工作中取得进步，也获得了个人成长。故选B项。 (4)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据画线短语前的“Saying “yes” to something that you might be uncomfortable with(对一些你可能感到不舒服的事情说“是”)”可推测出，“a task that is outside your comfort zone”(一项超出你舒适区的任务)在这里指的是有挑战性的（challenging）任务。故选C项。 (5)题解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Sometimes, you just need to give it a try. Actually if you want to get anywhere in life, you can’ t be lazy and closed off. It’s really that simple.(有时候，你只需要试一试。事实上，如果你想在生活中有所成就，你就不能懒惰和封闭。就这么简单。)”可知，作者写这篇文章主要是想用自己的经历鼓励人们敢于对挑战说“yes”。故选D项。 Passage 12 （2024·北京·学业水平合格考）In late June, two companies were given permits to sell chicken meat that has been grown in a lab. The companies say they will be serving the meat in restaurants this summer. Unlike normal chicken meat, lab-grown meat isn’t created by raising and killing chickens. Instead, it’s a meat product developed from animal cells that are grow n in a lab. The process is called “cell-based” or “cultured” meat. The process of creating lab-grown meat is completely different from the normal meat raising process. Scientists have known for a long time how to keep living cells alive and grow them in a lab. In this case, experts choose cells that can grow quickly and will have good flavour. The first cells come from live animals. Then the cells are grown inside large steel tanks, where they’re fed with everything they need to grow. In a few weeks, the cells grow into sheets of meat. The companies then form this meat into more familiar shapes that can be cooked and sold. The companies say that their meat is better for the environment than meat from animals. Raising animals for food uses huge amounts of land and water. It also creates a lot of pollution. Raising animals for food create s about 15% of the world’s greenhouse gases. That’s why cutting back on eating meat is one of the easiest ways to fight climate change. There are many companies these days that focus on making plant-based meat substitutes (替代物). But since lab-grown meat is made from animal cells, it is very hard to tell it apart from actual meat. It looks, smells, and tastes like chicken. Polls (民意调查) have shown that many people aren’t too interested in lab-grown meat. Lots of people believe that “it just sounds strange”. But Russel Phillips, a biologist, suggests people give it a try. He says that once people try the meat, they will be amazed. The common response must be, “Oh, it tastes like chicken.” But right now, the meat is far more expensive than meat from animals. Now that the companies have been approved, they have the huge challenge of figuring out how to make much more meat far more cheaply. It will probably be a long time before you’re able to buy lab-grown chicken in stores. 1.To produce lab-grown meat, the companies should________. A. study how to feed live animals. B. decide where to store meat products. C. add different flavours to sheets of meat. D. select cells suitable for producing meat. 2.As for producing lab-grown meat, Paragraph 4 is mainly about its________. A. future. B. advantage. C. techniques. D. process. 3.What is Russel Phillips’ attitude toward lab-grown meat? A. Doubtful. B. Worried. C. Supportive. D. Uninterested. 4.The lab-grown meat still has a problem with its________. A. quality. B. safety. C. price. D. taste. 【答案】1. D　2. B　3. C　4. C 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇新闻报道。6月下旬，两家公司获准销售实验室培育的鸡肉。这些公司表示，今年夏天他们将在餐厅供应这种肉。文章介绍了这种人造肉的一些优点和人们对此的看法。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段“Scientists have known for a long time how to keep living cells alive and grow them in a lab. In this case, experts choose cells that can grow quickly and will have good flavour.(科学家们很早就知道如何让活细胞存活并在实验室中培养它们。在这种情况下，专家们会选择生长速度快、味道好的细胞)”可知，为了生产实验室培育的肉，这些公司应该选择适合生产肉的细胞。故选D。 (2)题解析： 主旨大意题。根据第四段“The companies say that their meat is better for the environment than meat from animals. Raising animals for food uses huge amounts of land and water. It also creates a lot of pollution. Raising animals for food create s about 15% of the world’s greenhouse gases. That’s why cutting back on eating meat is one of the easiest ways to fight climate change.(这些公司表示，他们的肉比动物肉更环保。饲养动物作为食物需要消耗大量的土地和水。它也造成了很多污染。饲养动物作为食物产生了世界上15%的温室气体。这就是为什么减少吃肉是对抗气候变化最简单的方法之一)”可知，第4段主要是关于生产实验室培养的肉的优势。故选B。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“But Russel Phillips, a biologist, suggests people give it a try. He says that once people try the meat, they will be amazed. The common response must be, “Oh, it tastes like chicken.”(但生物学家罗素·菲利普斯建议人们试一试。他说，一旦人们尝过这种肉，他们会大吃一惊。通常的反应肯定是，“哦，它尝起来像鸡肉。”)”可知，罗素·菲利普斯对实验室培育的肉持支持态度。故选C。 (4)题解析： 细节理解题。根据最后一段“But right now, the meat is far more expensive than meat from animals. Now that the companies have been approved, they have the huge challenge of figuring out how to make much more meat far more cheaply.(但现在，这些肉比动物肉贵得多。既然这些公司已经获得批准，他们面临的巨大挑战是如何以更低的成本生产更多的肉)”可知，这种实验室培育的肉仍然存在价格问题。故选C。 Passage 13 （2024年1月·学业水平合格考）Tom Sawyer Play Is an Adventure A 35-minute hand-clapping, foot-stomping musical version of a Mark Twain favorite returns with this Tall Stacks festival. “Tom Sawyer: A River Adventure” has all the good stuff, including the fence painting, the graveyard, the island and the cave.
