21、When sorting through the apples at the grocery store, you see an ugly, strange-looking apple. Whether it’s a strange color, has spots, or is a strange shape, you wonder how it made it onto the shelves. Who would buy and eat this? Most people would not buy ugly produce. That is why it is rare to see ugly-shaped fruit or off-colored vegetables. So what happens to this produce?

Data have shown that 20%—40% of fruits and vegetables are rejected even before they reach grocery stores. And even more are rejected on site, because grocery stores and companies have incredibly high standards for what their produce should look like. That includes color, shape, size, weight, and length. And the food that doesn’t meet these standards is thrown away. There are incredibly strict laws about food donation that actually makes it illegal to donate food that doesn’t meet standards that are similar to those of the grocery store as well as laws that restrict this food from being used as animal feed.

Besides, 10% of rich countries greenhouse gas emissions come from food that was grown and never eaten. Food waste not only contributes to climate change, but also food insecurity and extreme poverty. As stated above, in the greatest food wasting countries, there are laws that confine produce from being donated to people in need.

By reducing food waste, a third of the world’s entire food supply could be saved. That’s enough to feed 3 billion people. Also, by reducing food waste, farmers all over the world could sell more of their produce and inspire their rural, agricultural economies. There are many ways to get involved in ending food waste! You can participate in advocacy events hosted nearby like with Feedback Global, who hosts an event called “Feeding the 5000” where they seek to feed 5000 people with food that would have otherwise been wasted. Encourage your local grocer to sell ugly produce. Food is food!

【1】Why is ugly-shaped fruit rarely seen at the grocery store?

A．It is not tasty or nutritious.

B．Farmers would not plant it.

C．Most people are not fond of it.

D．Few people choose to purchase it.

【2】What happens to ugly-shaped fruit or off-colored vegetables?

A．They are consumed.

B．They are donated.

【3】What does the underlined word “confine” in paragraph 3 probably mean?

A．Refuse.

B．Restrict.

C．Contact.

D．Protect.

【4】What would be a suitable title for the text?

A．Ugly fruit could lead to a prettier world

B．Food waste makes 3 billion people in poverty

23、   Plastic is used to make a large number of products we use every day， such as drink and food containers，trash bags and grocery bags，cups and children's toys，and bottles for everything from mouthwash and shampoo to glass cleaner and dishwashing liquid. And that's not even counting all the plastic that goes into furniture， appliances， computers， and automobiles.

As the use of plastic has increased over the years，it's become a large part of America's solid waste﹣growing from less than 1 percent in 1960 to more than 13 percent in 2017. As an example of how and why plastic waste is increasing， the International Bottled Water Association reports that the US consumed 9. 67 billion gallons of bottled water in 2017， compared to 9.1 billion gallons the year before. The United States is the world's leading consumer of bottled water. A good first step in reducing plastic waste is switching to a reusable water bottle.

Recycling plastic reduces the amount of energy and resources （资源） needed to create plastic. Research shows that a bottle of water requires about 2，000 times as much energy to produce as the same amount of tap water. Recycling plastic products also keeps them out of landfills（垃圾填埋）and allows the plastic to be reused in making new products. Recycling 1 ton of plastic saves 7. 4 cubic yards of landfill space. And let's face it，a lot of plastic ends up directly in the environment，breaking down into tiny pieces ， polluting our soil and water.

Today，80 percent of Americans have easy access to a plastic recycling program. A universal numbering system for plastic types makes it even easier. According to the American Plastics Council， more than 1，800 US businesses handle plastic waste. In addition， over 200，000 grocery stores now serve as recycling collection sites for plastic waste.

【1】What message does the first paragraph mainly intend to convey？

A.Plastic products are quite common.

B.Plastic is widely used in our daily life.

C.What functions plastic has.

D.Why humans make use of plastic.

【2】According to paragraph 2， .

A.plastic waste is on the rise in America

B.Americans prefer bottled water to tap water

C.plastic waste is the leading type of waste in America

D.using reusable water bottles doesn't help reduce plastic waste

【3】What benefit does recycling plastic mainly bring？

A.It helps cut down on pollution.

B.It helps to make soil more rich.

C.It makes plastic easily broken down.

D.It produces new energy and resources.

【4】What do the figures listed in the last paragraph suggest？

A.Americans suffer a lot from plastic waste.

B.Americans are good at recycling plastic.

C.Recycling plastic is convenient in the US.

D.Recycling plastic brings great profits in the US.

24、   From talking robots and video phones to rovers on Mars, technology has become so advanced that the previously impossible seems to occur on a daily basis. And yet – we still have no cure for the common cold.

Why can’t we stop the common cold? According to Peter Barlow, a scientist at Edinburgh

Napier University in the UK, the main challenge lies in the many different types of cold viruses that are produced by the rhinoviruses (鼻病毒). There are at least 160 types. They mutate (突变) so easily that they quickly become resistant to drugs, or learn to hide from our immune systems. In other words, a single cure isn’t likely to work on every type of cold.

However, researchers from Stanford University and the University of California, San Francisco, have found a possible answer. They discovered a protein that the viruses need. Without it, they can’t spread inside your body.

To identify the gene which produces the specific protein needed by the viruses, researchers used a gene-editing technique to test all genes in the human genome (基因组) one by one for thousands of cells. These modified (改变的) cells were then exposed to a range of enteroviruses(肠病毒), including the rhinoviruses which cause the common cold. All the viruses were unable to replicate (复制) inside cells without a gene that produces a specific protein, called methyltransferase SETD3.

Then, they tested genetically modified mice, which were completely unable to produce the protein. The mice were able to live healthy, normal lives without the protein. “Lacking that gene protected the mice completely from viral infection.” associate professor Jan Carette, from Stanford, told the BBC. “These mice would always die, but they survived and we saw a very strong reduction in viral replication and very strong protection.”

Carette said the plan is to find a drug which can temporarily suppress (抑制) the protein, instead of producing genetically modified humans. “We have identified a fantastic target that all enteroviruses and rhinoviruses require and depend on. Take that away and the virus really has no chance.” said Carette. “This is a really good first step – the second step is to have a chemical that mimics (模拟) this genetic deletion.” he added.

【1】What does Peter Barlow think is the main problem for prevention of the common cold?

A.The slow mutation of some genes.

B.The fast speed at which rhinoviruses spread.

C.The wide variety of cold viruses created by rhinoviruses.

D.The harm rhinoviruses do to the immune system.

【2】What can we learn about the protein needed by the viruses?

A.It allows the viruses to mutate easily.

B.It helps the viruses replicate inside our bodies.

C.It helps the viruses become resistant to drugs.

D.It accelerates the speed at which the viruses spread.

【3】What did the researchers discover in their gene-editing study?

A.The modified cells seemed to protect the mice against viral infections.

B.Genetically modified mice died because they lacked the protein.

C.More methyltransferase SETD3 was produced after the cells were modified.

D.The gene-editing technique was more effective against enteroviruses than rhinoviruses.

【4】What do the researchers most probably do next, according to Carette?

A.Conduct experiments on genetically modified humans.

B.Apply this gene-editing technique to control other viruses.

C.Identify a drug that can help reduce the protein.

D.Find a chemical that can cure all enteroviruses and rhinoviruses.

26、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。

The dark sky, filled with angry, swirling clouds, reflected Greg Ridley's mood as he sat on the stoop（门廊）of his building. His father's voice came to him again, first reading the headmaster's letter, then lecturing endlessly about his poor efforts in maths.

“I had to leave school when I was thirteen. That's a year younger than you are now. If I'd had half the chances you have, I' ...A.nid you want to play basketball? That must be some kind of a joke. Now you just get into your room and hit those books.

It was beginning to cool. Soon large drops of rain splashed onto his jeans. Down the block there was an abandoned house. Without much thought, Greg made a dash across the street and entered a room. Suddenly he heard a man's voice behind him.“What are you doing here?"

“Who are you?" Greg hardly recognized his own voice.

“I'm Lemon Brown," came the answer.

He was an old man. It didn't seem that he was dangerous. “You aren't looking for my treasure, are you?” he asked.

“No. It is raining out." Greg answered, smiling. “You have a treasure?"

"Every man has a treasure." Lemon Brown said, “You want to see mine?"

“If you want to show it to me," Greg shrugged.

The old man carefully untied the strings, and revealed some yellowed newspaper clippings （剪报）.

Then he started telling the story of his life. He was a famous blues singer in the past. His wife died young, and his only son went abroad to work.

“I gave him these newspaper clippings that told him who I was, and where he came from. One time I came home, there was a letter saying that he got killed in an accident. It broke my heart. They sent back these clippings. That was my treasure, and when I gave it to him, he treated it just like that, a treasure."

Lemon Brown put his rags in place and looked out of the window.

注意：

1. 续写词数应为150左右；

2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

“You get on out of here and get yourself home," said Lemon Brown.
