The constant rise of global demand for protein poses a threat of meat shortage in the agricultural sector. To
address this, a few scientists use artificial meat as an alternative to traditional ones, which from the growing process to
its benefits proves it does no harm or even it does good to us.
Currently, one of the most advanced techniques to grow meat in the lab involves taking cells from an animal and
changing them to muscle cells. The cells are then cultured with nutrients and essential vitamins and can be developed
to any quantity and then shaped into hamburgers, steaks or mince, and so it is also called “cultured” meat. “Cultured
meat is not genetically engineered,” Dr. Mark Post of Maastricht University says. “It is meat grown from the same cells
that produce the meat in the cow, but this time outside the cow.” He believes that cultured meat shouldn’t be any better
or worse for you than old-school animal flesh.
This may sound like science fiction, but it is not such a strange idea and there are reasons to be excited about it.
The environmental impacts of cultured meat could be lower than those of meat produced in the conventional way,“ said
Hanna Tuomisto, a researcher at Oxford University. The process would require between 7% and 45% less energy than
the same volume of conventionally produced meat such as pork, beef or lamb, and could be engineered to use only 1%
of the land and 4% of the water associated with conventional meat. Tuomisto’s research also shows that cultured meat
could be part of the solution to feeding the world’s growing population, at the same time cutting emissions (排放) and
saving both energy and water.
Aside from the above benefits, cultured meat should also provide cheap nutrition. Animal protein is an
increasing part of diets, as millions of people in rapidly emerging economies are drawn out of poverty and become able
to afford more meat in their diets. The pressure this creates has been an important factor in rapidly rising grain prices,
deforestation in the Amazon basin, increasing water shortage and rising pressure to find new farmland. Growing meat
artificially could potentially take huge pressure off farmlands around the world.
Another benefit would be to help animal welfare and protect endangered species. If most of our meat was grown,
there would be no need for factory farms. Conditions for animals could be greatly improved. Elsewhere, it could also
stop illegal endangered species hunts by providing an alternative way to produce meat from these species.
Exactly how long it takes before the meat is sold in supermarkets depends on the investment in research and
development. One thing seems clear: Unless vegetarianism catches on in a very big way, the world’s demand for meat
will soon outpace our supply of cows, chickens, pigs and other edible animals. The health and environmental impacts
of cultured meat aren’t going to be hypothetical (假设的) for much longer.
21．What does the underlined word ”cultured" probably mean?
A．grown. B．sorted. C．connected. D．shaped.
22．Compared with traditional meat, the artificial meat ____________.
A．tastes much better B．contains more nutrients
学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司C．saves more natural resources D．changes people’s habit of eating meat
23．The author tries to persuade the readers to accept his argument mainly by.
A．comparing the results from different researches
B．showing the current situation of food consumption
C．presenting the problems caused by meat shortage
D．explaining the advantages of artificial meat

It’s school time again! You’re probably feeling excited and maybe a little sad that summer is over. Some kids feel
nervous or a little scared on the first day of school because of all the new things: new teachers, new friends, and even a
new school. Luckily, these “new” worries only stick around for a little while. Let’s find out more about going to a new
school.
Most teachers kick off the new school year by introducing themselves and talking about all the stuff they’ll be
doing that year. Some teachers give students a chance to tell something about themselves to the rest of the class, too.
When teachers do the talking on the first day, they often go over classroom rules and school rules so you’ll know
what’s allowed and what’s not. Please pay close attention.
You might already know a lot of people in your classes on the first day, but it’s a great day to make a new friend,
so try to say hello to kids you know and new ones that you don’t. Make the first move and you’ll be glad you did, and
so will your new friend!
Seeing friends you haven’t seen for some time can make the first day a good one. You can make the day feel
special by wearing clothes that you really like. Maybe you got a great T-shirt on one of your vacations, or a pair of
sneakers (运动鞋). It also can make you feel good to be prepared and have all the things you need, such as pencils,
folders, and whatever else you’ll need. But make sure that you pack them the night before in case you don’t have time
in the morning.
24．The underlined phrase “kick off” in the second paragraph probably means “________”.
A．start B．study C．find D．learn
25．The last paragraphs mainly tell us about ________.
A．what to know about a new school B．how to prepare for a new school
C．what to do on your first day of school D．how to spend your first day of school
26．According to the passage you usually do everything on the first day of school except ________.
A．introduce yourself B．learn about the school rules
C．make new friends D．go over your lessons
27．If you happen to see an old friend on the first day of school, from the passage we know that you will feel
________.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司A．nervous B．mad C．happy D．upset

Mona Lisa, the mysterious woman in Leonardo da Vinci’s 16th-century masterpiece, had just given birth to her
second son when she sat for the painting, a French art expert said on Tuesday. The discovery was made by a team of
Canadian scientists who used special infrared(红外线) and three-dimensional(三维的) technology to study the paint
layers on the work, which now sits in the Louvre Museum in Paris.
Bruno Mottin of the French Museums’ Center for Research and Restoration said that on very close examination of
the painting, it became clear that the Mona Lisa’s dress was covered in a thin transparent gauze veil.(透明面纱).
“This type of gauze dress was typical of the kind worn in early 16th century Italy by women who were pregnant or
who had just given birth. This is something that had never been seen up to now because the painting was always judged
to be dark and difficult to examine,” he told a news conference.
“We can now say that this painting by Leonardo da Vinci was painted in memory of the birth of the second son of
Mona Lisa, which helps us to date it more precisely to around 1503.” The young woman with the ambiguous half smile
has been identified as Lisa Gherardini, wife of Florentine merchant Francesco de Giocondo. She had five children.
“People always wrote that Mona Lisa had allowed her hair to hang freely over her shoulders. This greatly
surprised historians because letting your hair hang freely during the Renaissance was typical of young girls and women
of poor virtue(美德)” he said.
The team had hoped to discover more details about Leonardo’s painting techniques, which the artist used to create
a hazy(朦胧的)effect. But scientist John Taylor said the team had been disappointed by the lack of brush stroke(笔
触)detail on the painting.
28．According to the latest research, Mona Lisa was ________ .
A．a woman of poor virtue B．da Vinci’s second wife
C．a woman who had just been pregnant D．a woman who had just given birth to her
second son
29．We can infer from the test that ________.
A．the research has been carried out in France B．Mona Lisa was painted in 1503 at the latest
C．In da Vinci’s time women could only wear short hair D．the most difficulty is to identify the paint layers
30．What is probably the best title for the test?
A．Mona Lisa, the Mysterious Woman. B．Mona Lisa, a New Mother.
C．Great Discovery in Painting. D．Leonardo’s Painting Technique.

The arts, especially music, should be part of every school’s lessons at every grade level. Students would be much
smarter if they had some musical experience. They could improve their classroom skills, like paying attention and
学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司following directions. People develop all these skills when they learn music. Making music also lets children use their
imagination. It provides students with a chance to try out their own ideas.
Music not only makes children better students but also gives them something positive to do. In a music program,
children can be part of a band instead of joining a gang (团伙). Parents can enjoy listening to their children’s music
instead of seeing them glued to a computer or TV screen. In a school band, students get to be part of a team. They can
get along well with old friends and make new friends through music.
Music builds self-confidence, too. It gives children a sense of achievement and success. Making music is
something for them to be proud of, and it lets kids practise performing in front of the audience. Music gives children an
opportunity for self-expression, and that helps develop their self-confidence.
Once again, music is important because it can make children better students, give them something positive to do,
and build their character. That is why music lessons should be offered in every single grade in every school.
31．According to the passage, music could make students smarter by________.
A．improving their classroom skills and paying attention
B．improving their classroom skills and imagination
C．improving their attention and imagination
D．letting them make music and try out their own ideas
32．What does the underlined phrase “glued to” in the second paragraph mean?
A．Unwilling to turn on. B．Always looking at.
C．Unwilling to move. D．Always playing with.
33．The third paragraph mainly tells us that music could________.
A．make children express themselves B．bring children success
C．give children something to be proud of D．develop children’s self-confidence
34．What’s the best title of this passage?
A．Music Is a Must as a Course at School
B．Music Builds Children’s Self-confidence
C．Music Makes Students Much Smarter
D．Learning Music and Making Music Build Children’s Character

Working Together to Save the Sea Turtles
Florida has some of the best beaches in the world. Thousands of people visit the state to enjoy the sand. But these
学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司beaches are also home to five species of sea turtles. A major problem is facing these interesting creatures. 35 So how do
Floridians protect these special animals?
Some volunteers and researchers in Florida take direct action to help the turtles. They look closely at the sand to
find the fin (鳍) marks the mother sea turtles left there. 36 When they’ve figured out where the eggs were laid,
they mark the area off so that no one disturbs the eggs. They also collect information about the nests and tracks to help
people study sea turtles.
These are not the only Floridians taking action to help protect these creatures. Florida’s government has passed
laws to save the turtles. One of these laws is “Florida’s Marine Turtle Protection Act”. This law prohibits anyone from
disturbing or destroying marine turtles, nests, or eggs. 37
Another way Floridians work together to save these creatures is through organizations like the Sea Turtle
Conservancy. The Sea Turtle Conservancy helps people take steps that will help reduce the threats that put sea turtles in
danger. For instance, bright lights on buildings near the beach can negatively impact sea turtles. Baby sea turtles usually
hatch on the sandy beach and head to the ocean. When there are bright lights coming from the other side of the shore
far from the ocean, the baby turtles get confused. 38 To help save these turtles, The Sea Turtle Conservancy
works with property owners to make lighting in their buildings sea turtle-friendly. They also encourage Florida
residents to turn off their lights at night if they live close to a beach.
39 Sometimes, turtles mistake plastic bags for jellyfish. They eat this trash and die. Florida residents can
volunteer for beach clean-ups and make sure to pick up their own litter. They can also vote for state leaders who want
to protect the sea turtles’ habitats. Every individual in the community has the power to make a difference!
A．Many of them do not make it to the ocean and die.
B．Some of these turtle species are in danger of going extinct.
C．This helps them to locate where the sea turtles laid their eggs.
D．It also helps make sure that sea turtles’ natural habitats are protected.
E．Female sea turtles come from the ocean and onto these beaches at night.
F．They use their fins to move back across the beach and return to the ocean.
G．Every Floridian can do their part to protect sea turtles and their environment.

阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
In 1987, I was 18 and working as a nurse in a small town about 270 km away from Sydney, Australia.
I was looking forward to having five days off from duty. Unfortunately, the only one train a day back to my home
in Sydney had already left. So I thought I’d hitch a ride (搭便车).
I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me. Finally, a man walked over and
introduced himself as Gordon. He said that although he couldn’t give me a lift, I should come back to his house for
lunch. He noticed me standing for hours in the extreme heat and thought I must be hungry. I was doubtful as a young
学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司girl but he he assured me I was safe, and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards. When we arrived at his
house, he made us sandwiches. After lunch, he helped me find a lift home.
Twenty-five years later, in 2003, while I was driving to a nearby town one day, I saw an elderly man standing in
the scorching heat, trying to hitch a ride. I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the favour I’d been
given decades earlier. I pulled over and picked him up. I made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some
water.
After a few moments of small talk, the man said to me,“You haven’t changed a bit, even your red hair is still the
same.”
I couldn’t remember where I’d met him. He then told me he was the man who had given me lunch and helped me
find a lift all those years ago. It was Gordon.
40．What did Gordon do to help the author?
41．Please paraphrase the underlined sentence in your own words.
42．Please decide which part is false in the following statement,then underline it and explain why.
The author pulled over to pick up the elderly man in 2003 because he recognized the elder was the very person
who ever helped him.
43．Will you offer any help to a stranger who seems in trouble? Why or why not? (about 40 words)
