Campaigners have been promoting the idea of purchasing local food recently, with the argument that it can
reduce “food miles,” referring to the distance food travels from the producer to the shop owner. The greater the
food miles, the higher the carbon emissions. Therefore, buying local food results in a lower carbon footprint and is
considered more environmentally friendly.
Nonetheless, the actual situation is more complex than it appears. Importantly, imported food often possesses a
lower carbon footprint compared to locally grown alternatives. Consider apples, for instance. Local apples in
Britain, bought during winter or spring, have usually been stored in refrigeration for months, consuming substantial
energy. In contrast, importing apples from New Zealand during their natural season, in spring, is more energy-
efficient. Similarly, producing tomatoes in heated greenhouses in the UK has a greater environmental impact than
importing them from Spain, where the climate favors their growth.
Additionally, the mode of transportation plays a significant role. Food transported by air tends to generate
higher emissions. However, only a limited selection of items are flown to consumer countries, usually high-value
第4页/共12页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司and perishable goods that cannot be locally produced. Even in these cases, the carbon footprint of these foods may
not surpass that of locally grown alternatives. For example, beans flown in from Kenya are cultivated in sunny
fields using natural fertilizers, in contrast to Britain’s reliance on oil-based fertilizers and machinery.
It is crucial to acknowledge that a product’s journey extends beyond the supermarket. Driving long distances
to shop for food can offset any environmental benefits gained from buying locally grown produce. Moreover,
opting for local over imported food can negatively impact people in developing countries who rely on selling their
produce overseas for their livelihoods.
Some supermarkets have recently attempted to raise awareness about food miles by labeling products to
indicate air transportation. However, this message oversimplifies a food’s carbon footprint, which is influenced by
various factors. Even if we exclusively purchase locally grown, in-season food, ethical concerns remain, potentially
limiting dietary choices and affecting us all.
24. Why might choosing imported apples in the UK during spring be a favorable option?
A. It supports local farmers.
B. It minimizes energy consumption.
C. It offers cost-efficiency and convenience.
D. It significantly reduces carbon emissions.
25. According to the author, what should readers consider avoiding?
A. Purchasing tomatoes imported from Spain.
B. Providing assistance to farmers in impoverished nations.
C. Buying beans transported by air from Kenya.
D. Undertaking long journeys to buy locally sourced food.
26. What is the author’s perspective on labeling food products?
A. It facilitates ethical shopping decisions.
B. It fails to provide a comprehensive and accurate portrayal.
C. It elevates awareness of environmental concerns.
D. It offers precise product information.
27. What is the primary objective of this text?
A. To resolve a particular issue.
B. To make a forward-looking projection.
C. To challenge a prevalent belief.
.
D To interpret an observed phenomenon.

Plant-based leathers have the potential to revolutionize the fashion industry. Now, MycoWorks, a California
第5页/共12页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司based biotech company, has created a new eco-friendly, vegetal leather derived from mushrooms. The leather turns
mycelium (菌丝体)—threads from the root structure of mushrooms—into a material that imitates the look and feel
of an animal-based leather.
“It’s the first time that a company has been able to produce a vegetal product which is matching or even
exceeding the quality and durability of a natural one. It’s a super achievement,” Patrick Thomas, former Hermés
CEO and a member of MycoWorks board of directors, said in a statement.
MycoWorks creates this special material by using engineered mycelium cells. As the cells grow into 3D
structures, they become densely intertwined (交织的), eventually forming a tough material, called Fine Mycelium,
which has the strength, durability and performance of the traditional leather. The result differs from other vegetal
leathers made with mushrooms. Most mushroom leathers are made from compressed solid foam that mycelium
forms naturally, but without engineering, they lack the same look and feel as an animal-based leather.
Fine Mycelium can grow in trays (托盘). These trays can be designed to fit a designer’s exact specifications,
avoiding any waste. After Fine Mycelium is harvested, it is tanned (鞣色) and finished to look and feel like an
animal leather.
Last year, luxury fashion brand Hermés debuted their Victoria bag, which featured MycoWork’s Fine
Mycelium material. Other companies, including Adidas with their Mylo-made Stan Smith shoes and Lululemon
with their mushroom-based yoga products, have also jumped on the eco-friendly trend.
The use of plant-based leathers comes during a time when scientists and innovators are trying to come up with
solutions for the climate crisis and animal agriculture. Environmentally, manufacturing animal-based leathers
creates havoc because of deforestation and methane emissions connected to the animals raised for leathers.
However, some experts criticize the new mushroom-based leather because it is currently only available as a
rare item. For the material to be a truly sustainable option and make a major impact, it would need to be more
accessible. They question whether the company can provide designers with enough material to create their
products.
28. What is special about MycoWorks’ new leather?
.
A It is the first to be made from mycelium.
B. It is an eco-friendly and vegetal produce.
C. It is the first-ever mushroom-based leather.
D. It is comparable with the animal-based leather.
29. What can we learn from the text?
A. MycoWorks has been partly financed by Hermés.
B. MycoWorks’ new leather has made a high fashion debut.
第6页/共12页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司C. Trays are needed when designers deal with Fine Mycelium.
.
D 3D technology is used when MycoWorks creates its new leather.
30. What does the underlined part “havoc” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?
A. Chaos. B. Harmony.
C. Evolution. D. Fortune.
31. Which of the following do some experts concern most?
A. The price of the new leather. B. The supply of the new leather.
C. The quality of the new leather. D. The durability of the new leather.
D
Psychologists specializing in the field of decision-making have discovered that employing a decision
worksheet is among the most effective approaches for tackling significant choices. Researchers in the optimization
branch of psychology analyze real-world decisions made by individuals and contrast them with theoretically ideal
decisions to gauge their similarity. Advocates of the worksheet technique contend that it leads to optimal outcomes,
representing the best choices. While decision worksheets come in various formats, they share fundamental
characteristics. They begin with a clear and concise problem definition, followed by the explanation of all possible
solutions. Subsequently, the relevant factors impacted by each choice are listed, and their relative importance is
determined. Each factor is assigned a numerical value reflecting its significance, and these values are summed to
calculate a decision’s score. The alternative with the highest score emerges as the superior choice.
Given that many significant problems encompass multiple facets, individuals encounter several choices, each
bearing unique advantages and drawbacks. The advantage of employing a pencil and paper decision-making
method lies in its capacity to accommodate more variables than the human mind can typically handle and retain. On
average, individuals can juggle about seven ideas simultaneously. Decision worksheets prove exceptionally
beneficial when decisions involve numerous intricate variables and relationships. A practical illustration pertinent
to numerous college students revolves around the post-graduation question: “What will I do after graduation?” A
graduate might contemplate seeking specialized training in a job, pursuing further education, or embarking on a
year of international travel.
The decision worksheet begins with a brief problem statement, which helps narrow the scope. It is crucial to
differentiate between long-term and immediate objectives since the decision-making process often diverges for
each. While focusing on long-term goals, a graduating student might reformulate the previous question as follows:
“What post-graduation path will lead to a successful career?”
32. What is the first step in the decision-making process using a worksheet?
A. Defining the problem concisely.
第7页/共12页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司B. Thinking of all potential solutions.
C. Listing the consequences of each solution.
D. Determining the relative importance of considerations.
33. According to decision-worksheet theory, an optimal decision is defined as one that ____________.
A. has the most points assigned to it
B. utilizes the most decision worksheets
C. involves the fewest variables for consideration
D. reaches the widest consensus among people
34. What is the author’s attitude toward employing a pencil and paper decision-making procedure?
A. Ambiguous. B. Sceptical. C. Supportive. D. Dismissive.
35. What is the primary focus of the passage?
A. Research on human decision-making processes.
B. The utility of decision worksheets in complex choices.
C. A comparison between actual and ideal decisions.
D. Distinctions between long-term and short-term decision making.

项。
Disposing of unwanted items in our lives often means simply throwing them into the garbage or recycling bin
—or, if they’re still useful, giving them away. It’s different with old credit cards, which should be destroyed so
nobody can use them fraudulently. ______36______Here’s how to get rid of an old card.
First, contact the issuer.
If closing the account is your goal, you’ll have to call the number on the back of your card and ask to do so. If
your card is a rewards card, remember to first redeem points or cash back. Change any automatic payments to a
different card, and be sure to pay the final card bill.
Cut up plastic cards.
Sharp scissors and smart trimming will do the job here. “We recommend that consumers cut through the EMV
chip, then further cut the card a few times along the short side, and dispose of the sections in more than one trash
bag,” says Sarah Grano, a spokeswoman for the American Bankers Association. _______37_______
Send back metal cards.
______38______Contact your issuer. Typically, you can mail it back for disposal. For example, when
American Express sends a replacement card, it also sends an addressed return envelope to mail back an old metal
第8页/共12页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司card for destruction, says Heather Norton, spokeswoman for American Express. Check back on your account. Don’t
obsess about identity theft of an old credit card. You generally won’t be responsible for fraudulent charges anyway.
________39________ It’s a good idea to check your account statement to make sure there’s been no fraud.
Closing an account can hurt you.
Closing a credit card account can lower your credit rating. That’s because credit scores consider your “credit
utilization ratio,” or how much of your available credit you’re using. And when you close an account, you have less
available credit. ______40______Closing an old card decreases the average age of your accounts.
A. Nevertheless, it might be worthwhile to close the account anyway.
B. Alternatively, you can feed cards into a specialized machine.
C. Credit scores also factor in the length of time you've had the card open.
D. Disposing of a metal card on your own is more challenging and potentially unsafe.
E. You can skip this step if you're just replacing an expired or compromised card.
F. Be cautious with debit cards and other plastic forms where fraud could result in financial losses.
G. However, correctly disposing of a payment card can be confusing, especially with newer metal credit cards.

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Years ago, not long after graduating from school and starting my career in Denver, I set off on an exciting solo
trip to reunite with an old friend. As I packed my car, little did I know that this adventure would unveil the
remarkable bonds that can form between strangers, all sparked by the simple exchange of “thank you.”
My journey commenced with a thrilling flight to Albuquerque, a vibrant city in New Mexico. My ultimate
destination was Oklahoma City, where I looked forward to visiting a dear friend. The trip was relatively smooth,
treating me to beautiful sights along the way. While waiting in line to pay for gas, I struck up a friendly chat with
an older couple who were also refueling their vehicle.
Continuing my journey with joy in my heart, dark, ominous smoke suddenly billowed from my car’s rear.
Panic gripped me as I hastily pulled over to the side of the road, unsure of our next steps. In an incredible twist of
fate, the same friendly couple from the gas station pulled up behind my car. With warm smiles and open hearts,
they generously offered to drive me to my friend’s place in Oklahoma City. During the ride, we engaged in lively
conversations, sharing stories and laughter as the miles passed by. Upon reaching our destination, the husband even
handed me his business card as a gesture of goodwill and kindness.
Appreciative of their unwavering help, I later expressed my gratitude through a heartfelt thank-you note. In
response, they sent me a cherished Christmas gift along with a touching note as well. As the years passed, life threw
another curveball my way. On a fateful day, I drove to a nearby town for an important meeting.
Unfortunately, in my haste, I accidentally left my car’s lights on all day long. As dusk approached, I returned
