二、阅读理解
Where does the meat on our table come from? It usually comes from livestock like chickens and cows. But
did you know that meat can also be made in a lab? US company JUST has announced that lab-grown meat could be
on some restaurant menus in the United States and Asia by the end of 2018, The Independent reported.
“These meats include chicken nuggets (鸡块), sausage and foie gras (鹅肝酱),” Josh Tetrick, CEO of JUST,
told The Independent. Lab meat is sometimes referred to as “clean meat”. It is made using the stem cells (干细胞)
of living livestock. The cells need to be grown in a lab for a few weeks. For example, making a hamburger patty
(肉饼) takes about nine weeks, CNN reported. This is faster than raising a cow, which usually takes over 20 weeks.
The first clean meat was a beef burger that was produced in 2013, but it was said to taste quite dry. How does
clean meat taste now? Clean meat supporters told CNN that they think it tastes just like traditional meat.Clean meat has other advantages. It is healthier than traditional meat. Meat producers can control what type
of fat goes into the meat. They can produce clean meat that contains healthy fats, such as omega-3 fatty acids (脂肪
酸). This kind of fat is good for people’s hearts.
Clean meat can also help to solve global warming. According to The Washington Post, about 14.5 percent of
the planet’s greenhouse gas emissions (排放) come from raising livestock. That’s more than the emissions from
every car, train, ship and airplane in the world combined. It is predicted that switching to clean meat could lower
greenhouse gas emissions by 96 percent, The Independent reported.
19．Where may the meat we eat come from in future?
A．Companies. B．Greenhouses. C．Labs. D．Restaurants.
20．What can be used to make “clean meat”?
A．Stem cells. B．Fatty acids.
C．Hamburger patties. D．Chicken nuggets.
21．What is the advantage of clean meat?
A．It is fatty. B．It is healthy. C．It is free. D．It is smelly.
22．What do we know about clean meat from the last paragraph?
A．It comes from livestock. B．It can be switched off.
C．It results in global warming. D．It benefits environment.
We’ve all had the experience. We’re reading along and suddenly realize that although our eyes are scanning
the words on the page, nothing is actually registering. Minutes pass before we realize that we’ve lost the plot
entirely.
In classrooms, students tend to experience this drift ( 偏移) in attention while reading texts that are
challenging or highly technical — the sorts of passages middle schoolers and high schoolers might encounter in
science, math, or history.
In a 2024 study of “mindless reading,” researchers from the University of Wü rzburg tracked the reading
speed and attention of undergraduates studying a complex science text. At multiple points during the exercise,
prompts (提示) appeared asking students “Was your mind wandering when you read the last sentence?” Students
confirmed multiple instances of loss of attention.
Researchers found that variations in reading speed, lingering (逗留) on the same passage for long periods,
and skipping words were signals that students were struggling to remain focused or to understand the material, and
also predicted poorer performance on later tests.But these problems are not insolvable. The University of Wü rzburg researchers also concluded that when
students were trained to recognize when they lost track of sentence-level information or got stuck on passages —
and were taught strategies to “plan, monitor, and regulate their reading” — they were able to successfully re-route
their attention.
To convince students of the importance of effective reading strategies, it’s important to explain the long-term
benefits of sticking through complex texts. For example, learning how to make sense of a technical science text
may help if students decide to work in engineering. The skills they use to make sense of a history text may help in
future legal careers. Try to make it clear, literacy expert Timothy Shanahan says, that when we teach students how
to push through difficult texts, “what we’re really doing is showing them how to gain access to all of these different
fields in our society.”
23．Students tend to lose their focus while reading if ________.
A．the reading text is long B．they are in a classroom
C．the reading material is complex D．they are middle or high schoolers
24．Which of the following is a signal of “mindless reading”?
A．Reading too quickly. B．Poor performance on tests.
C．Changes in reading speed. D．Spending much time reading.
25．What should students do if they experience “mindless reading”?
A．Change the reading materials.
B．Get to know why they get stuck on passages.
C．Learn to notice when their attention wanders.
D．Pay more attention to sentence-level information.
26．What is Shanahan’s attitude to helping students push through difficult texts?
A．Favorable. B．Cautious. C．Doubtful. D．Unclear.
We know animals have emotions. They can feel fear. We also think they feel love, since they have strong
relationships with each other. So are animal emotions similar to our own? And do animals have a sense of humor?
Do animals feel empathy? Does an elephant have consciousness? Can a dog plan ahead? These are some of the
questions that deserve our full attention.
A parrot’s joke
Sally Blanchard’s parrot Bongo Marie didn’t get along with her other parrot, Paco. In fact, Bongo Marie
clearly didn’t like Paco at all! One day, Blanchard cooked a chicken for dinner. She started to cut the chicken with aknife. “Oh, no! Paco!” Bongo Marie said loudly and laughed. Blanchard laughed, too, and said, “That’s not Paco.”
“Oh.. no,” said Bongo Marie. This time, she sounded disappointed. Then the parrot laughed at her own joke.
Yoga dog
Jean Donaldson enjoys yoga, and so does her dog Buffy. While Donaldson does yoga, Buffy carefully places
her toys on Donaldson’s body. If a toy falls, Buffy runs to put it back. Does this behavior have any real purpose?
“She thinks it’s funny!” says Donaldson.
Animal laughter
Can dogs laugh? Recent research shows that dogs can tell each other when they want to play. They make a
special sound — a kind of laugh. Psychologist Patricia Simonet recorded the sound. Then she played it back to
dogs and studied their behavior. “All the dogs seemed to like the laugh,” says Simonet. So do animals have a sense
of humor? If laughter is a clue, then perhaps the answer is “Yes”.
Life is very vivid to animals. In many cases they know who they are. They know who their friends are and
who their rivals are. It is incredible that there is still a debate over whether animals are conscious and even a debate
over whether human beings can know animals are conscious.
27．How does the author introduce the topic?
A．By raising some questions
B．By describing a scene
C．By making a comparison
D．By analyzing a phenomenon
28．What is the purpose of “A parrot’s joke”?
A．To explain how parrots can talk.
B．To show how parrots can feel love.
C．To tell an interesting experience.
D．To suggest that parrots can make jokes.
29．What does Buffy do when Jean Donaldson does yoga?
A．She tries to jump over Donaldson.
B．She copies Donaldson’s movements.
C．She puts her toys on Donaldson’s body.
D．She makes fun of Donaldson.
30．What is the main idea of “Animal laughter”?
A．Dogs can make a sound like a laugh and may have a sense of humor.B．Dogs talk to each other and seem to be funnier than most animals.
C．Dogs know how to please their masters with their laughter.
D．Dogs cannot communicate as well as other animals.
Most painters discover a style of painting that is fit for them and stick to that, especially if people admire their
pictures. But Picasso, the great Spanish painter, was like a man who had not yet found his own particular style of
painting. He kept on struggling to find the perfect expression till his death in 1973.
Some of Picasso's paintings are rich, soft colored and beautiful. Others are ugly and cruel and strange. But
such paintings allow us to imagine things for ourselves. They force us to say to ourselves, “What does he see that
makes him paint like that?” And we begin to look under the surface of the things we see.
Picasso painted thousands of pictures in different styles. Sometimes he painted the natural look of things.
Sometimes he seemed to break them apart and throw the pieces in our faces. He showed us what the mind knows as
well as what the eyes see. At the age of 90,he remained as curious about the world as he had been when he was
young. That is why people have called him “the youngest painter in the world.”
31．The ugly cruel and strange paintings by Picasso _______.
A．make us try to notice something hidden in the things
B．allow us to ask questions about them
C．force us to question anything we see
D．cause us to think what Picasso saw was different from what we see
32．The underlined sentence “Sometimes he seemed to break them apart and throw the pieces in our faces” means
_____.
A．sometimes he tore his pictures into pieces
B．he broke something he was painting and threw them away
C．sometimes he showed some broken pictures to others
D．things in some of his pictures seem to be in disorder
33．Why have people called Picasso “the youngest painter in the world?”
A．Because he observed things with the eye and the mind.
B．Because he looked young when he was old.
C．Because he never stopped painting he was old.
D．Because he never gave up looking for something new.Practical Ways to Show Respect for a Friend
●Show respect for their life choices and decisions
Accept that people aren’t always going to be just like you. They will make different life choices, have different
views on politics and religion, and act differently in many ways. This doesn’t mean they can’t be your friend. 34
●Give them the benefit of the doubt
35 If you’re in doubt about something, ask your friend. Be respectful and give them the benefit of
the doubt when you don’t do. This alone will help you stay in their good graces(好感).
●Give friends your full attention
One of the best ways to show respect for someone is to listen to them fully. Allow them to pause, convey
nonverbal communication clues, collect their thoughts, and get it all out. Too often friends listen with half an ear or
jump in the minute their friend pauses with an even worse story. 36 When your friend is talking, pay
attention.
● 37
Treat your friends respectfully when you argue with them. Make your friendship a safe place by not
embarrassing your friend or expressing your private disagreements in front of other people. Be publicly supportive
and kind to your friends so they know you value your friendship with them.
●Show up, be there, and do what you say you’re going to do
38 So just show your friend the best kind of respect by being on time, keeping promises, and being
the one friend they can always count on. That’s the way to truly show respect.
A．Consider your friendship a precious gift.
B．This type of behavior is very disrespectful.
C．Tell your friends what you think about them directly.
D．In fact, you can almost do nothing but accept the differences.
E．Treating your friends with suspicion(猜疑) can be a dangerous thing.
F．It means that you’ll need to take a step back, reserve judgment, and show respect.
G．No one likes an unreliable friend who says they’ll be there and then doesn’t show.
三、完形填空
When I was a kid, I really wanted to be a 39 . But I was 40 because in art class, my
paintings were never the most beautiful.
One time, a project was to create a portrait (肖像画). After we were done, we 41 our portraits. I
remember looking at other portraits and thinking, “Why do others’ portraits look so 42 and mine looks soamateur (业余的)?”
Despite this, I still really enjoyed painting because it’s a forgiving art. If I don’t like what I’ve put on paper, I
can 43 it. I can free some creative juices and use what has inspired me to free myself in a way I may not
have 44 .
Throughout school, teachers taught us about Picasso, van Gogh and da Vinci. They were 45
painting white people or green farms with cows, whatever was in front of them and around them. 46
that’s not what I saw around me, I never saw myself or my art in their work.
Then I learned about the Black artists during the Harlem Renaissance and Jean-Michel Basquiat, and I felt
more seen. They inspired me to paint abstract(抽象的) pictures. I take a piece of 47 and use it as the
central point of my picture.
I paint when I’m moved, and I’m often moved by what’s natural—emotions, nature and other forms of art,
48 creative writing. I’m also very moved by pain. I had a 49 with an activist in St. Louis named
Spook, and I explained to her this feeling and she told me: “Pain is 50 . You have to learn how to direct
that towards something productive.” So sometimes I 51 that pain into art, into a painting.
Even if the picture doesn’t turn out aesthetically (在审美方面) pleasing, it’s still beautiful that I am able to
52 something. My paintings may not be a masterpiece, but they’re mine. I 53 them anyway.

Like most children, I took my parents for granted. It wasn't until I became an adult that I realized their desire
to make a difference in the lives of others. Mama and Daddy performed their angel magic with neither fanfare (炫
耀) nor a desire for recognition. Because their kindness to others was something I accepted as a matter of course, I
might never have evaluated this aspect of their personalities were it not for an event that my mother mentioned in
passing.
Arizona in July ushered in the monsoon (季风) season, which was in full swing and just that morning had hit
the Southern Arizona desert with severe thunder, lightining, rain, and high winds. Mama and Daddy chose to spend
the day wandering the dry, air-conditioned mall, having a bite to eat, and taking in a movie. It seemed a nice way to
spend a Saturday afternoon while leaving the storm outdoors.
They chose a casual restaurant for lunch and were reading the menu when their waitress, a young woman in
her mid-twenties, approached the table to introduce herself and take their order. Mama and Daddy noted that her
hair was damp, as were her clothes. She was friendly but seemed to be quite tired.
Drawing her into conversation, they learned she was a single mother and a college student working two jobs.
That particular day had been unkind to her. Her car broke down, forcing her to walk to work in the rain and wind.
She was concerned about how being without a vehicle would affect her ability to care for her daughter and go to
college. Her frustration was obvious, and the day's events had certainly left her in a certain amount of despair. Yet,
her comments centered on ideas for solving her problems rather than complaining about them. Her attitude aroused
my parents' interest.
When Mama and Daddy finished with lunch, they said goodbye to their waitress and wished her well. Her
plight (困境) and attempt at a positive attitude touched them, and they wondered what they might do to help

W: World Tai Chi and Qigong Day is an event held on the last Saturday of April each year. Its aim is to
promote practices of Tai Chi and Qigong. In particular, followers of Tai Chi and Qigong hope to educate the world
about the health benefits of the two exercises. The event which started in 1999, joins people in over 65 countries.
Celebrations include Tai Chi displays and free classes in most participating cities around the world.
Tai Chi is not used for self-defence, but is instead practiced for health reasons. Doctors say it has benefits for
those who have heart and blood pressure problems. Tai Chi is famous around the world and its followers do their
morning slow practices in parks. Traditionalists say that Tai Chi is a mixture of self-defence and health and that
these represent the two opposing forces of yin and yang. A form of Tai Chi with just 42 movements, called wushu,
was a sport in the 11th Asian Games in 1990. There are attempts to make it an Olympic event.

64．Last Friday, our class organized an activity whose theme was “Technology makes life better”.
In the morning, we set off for a technology company. An engineer there welcomed us and gave a lecture on 3D
printing, introducing its history, development and application in various fields. Then he showed us how the 3D
printer works. We were amazed at the magic of technology and couldn’t wait to give it a try. Our group first
designed a 3D model of a bike and then operated the printer as instructed. Watching the bike gradually taking
shape, we felt excited.
This is really an educative and eye-opening activity in which I was impressed with the convenience and
benefits brought by technology.
65．One possible version:
They had time before the movie started to do some shopping; so they walked into a bookstore. While
browsing, they came across a slim volume that discussed the presence of angels on Earth, and they immediatelyknew what they wanted to do. After purchasing the book, they withdrew money from the bank, stuffed the bills into
the book, and put the book into a bag, which they delivered to the restaurant cashier. They requested that it be given
to the waitress at first opportunity. They said there was no need to take their names. The cashier immediately went
up to the waitress and told her that someone had given her a bag.
The waitress opened the bag and found some bills in a book. She was very surprised at first, with a puzzled
expression on her face, then moved to tears. She glanced around for her benefactors, looked at the cashier who
could only shrug, and clutched the book to her as if it were pure gold. Her unknown angels, pleased with their
spread of magic, disappeared. Mama and Daddy watched from a distance, smiling at each other. Their act of
kindness made the young lady understand that despite the challenges and cruelties she may encounter, the world is
blessed with human beings who care about others.
