For many Chinese consumers, a satisfying breakfast is one that includes either hot porridge(粥) or steamed buns(馒头). Cold sandwiches, which are usually popular with Westerners, are probably one of the last options on their minds. But that is not to say that consumers, especially those in an international city like Shanghai, would avoid everything considered Western for breakfast. For instance, coffee, which has steadily grown in popularity in the country, is one drink that many cannot do without today.
To satisfy this growing demand for breakfast sets that combine elements from the East and the West, food companies have been rolling out a host of new offerings to attract the customer. One example is Shanghai Qiao Coffee, which was launched by local time-honored food company Qiaojiashan at the end of 2019. Apart from its traditional dim sum, the store also sells various types of coffee.
According to Shen Yan deputy manager of Shanghai Qiaojiashan Food Development Cold, the most popular breakfast set at the moment is the steamed vegetable bun paired with black coffee. “The calories that one gets from a meal featuring Chinese dim sum and coffee are less than those of a Western breakfast. Since a steamed bun has nearly 200 calories and a cup of black coffee barely has any calories, this combination can be considered healthy and delicious," said Shen.
Even the smaller shoppers in the food scene are jumping on the East-West breakfast trend. Western food establishments, too, have been rolling out Chinese breakfast options. "Consumers and even cultural heritage will also benefit from the increased competition. If not for the current trend which has revived interest in certain traditional dim sum, these foods could soon be lost to history," Shen said.
4. What can we learn about breakfast in Shanghai in paragraph 1
A People favour porridge and steamed buns. B. Coffee is a necessity for many people.
C. People avoid western food for breakfast. D. Cold sandwiches are a popular choice.
5. Why does the set of the steamed vegetable bun with black coffee sell well
A. It is newly launched. B. It is tasty and healthy.
C. It has Chinese characteristics. D. It contains more nutrients.
6. What can we learn from Shen's words in the last paragraph
A. Western food companies don't care about East-West breakfast.
B. Only big companies have the capacity to seize the market share.
C. The combination trend helps keep some traditional foods alive.
D. The competition for breakfast sets is of no benefit to consumers.
7. What does the author intend to tell us
A. Western breakfast is well received by Shanghai people.
B. Chinese consumers show more interest in western food.
C. Shanghai Qiao Coffee has won great success for its breakfast sets.
D. The Chinese-Western breakfast set is warmly welcomed in Shanghai.

Plastic continues to pollute the environment, and it poses a significant threat to all life forms on Earth. Despite knowing the effects of plastic pollution, we have not been able to ban the use of plastic products. Now, thanks to the invention of a 17-year-old girl. we finally have a much better alternative. This plastic-like material is made from shells, and it breaks down 1.5 million times faster than most of plastic products we use today.
She drew the carbohydrate from the shells and turned it into chitosan. She then mixed it with a kind of protein. Using the combination of these two organic materials, Arora created a plastic-like material that breaks down completely within just 33 days. Moreover, this plastic releases nitrogen when breaking down, which is why it can be used as plant fertilizer.
Arora was awarded the Innovator to Market Award. She also gained international recognition through the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair. Thousands of brilliant students from over 81 nations participated in the competition, and Arora came in fourth for her innovation. She also won a comprehensive scholarship to one of the best universities in the United States.
The 17-year-old, now a student of medicine, is seeking to stop the usage of conventional plastic. She has produced the final prototype of her product, and it is ready to be produced commercially. However, before that happens, she has to apply for the patent. She is also talking to supermarkets and urging them to use her plastic, which can be used for all kinds of packaging, and the cost of the product is also lower than most of other plastic products.
An inspiring young woman, Arora wants to make a difference in the world, and she wants to encourage other young people, especially young women, to follow their passion and make a positive difference however they can.

At this very moment around the world, athletes are stepping almost naked into freezing cold rooms. Why on Earth are they doing this Because it’s supposed to help them feel better.
The treatment is called whole-body cryotherapy. Basketball star LeBron James, soccer great Cristiano Ronaldo, and boxing champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. have all tried it. The therapy works like this. You take off everything but your underwear. Then you put on warm socks and gloves and step into a small room that looks sort of like a shower, except your head sticking 16% out the top. Once you’re locked in, air cooled to below -200°F(-129°C) fills the room. That’s way colder than Antarctica. You stay in for two to three minutes.
Advocates believe the extremely cold air helps muscles recover faster and reduces other body pain. After his first cryotherapy sessions, Phil Mackenzie, a professional rugby player, felt noticeably better. He told Scientific American, ‘I felt refreshed right away. My sleep was better’. Soon, he was using it four times a week. Those who promote cryotherapy make all sorts of wild claims about its benefits. Supposedly, that extremely cold air can increase focus, improve skin tone, make you happier, burn calories, slow aging, and much more.
Is there any evidence to back up these incredible claims Nope. Several small scientific studies have looked at whether the therapy can improve muscle recovery after exercise with encouraging results. But there just isn’t enough evidence to show that the therapy works. The benefits some people experience may just be the placebo effect. That’s when a patient’s expectation that a treatment will work leads to an improvement.
The US Food & Drug Administration has actually issued a warning about whole-body cryotherapy. It cautions that the liquid nitrogen used to cool the room may make it difficult to breathe. Frost bite is another potential risk, which is why participants wear gloves and socks.
What do you think Is it a chance for a better athletic performance worth the risk
12. What can we learn about the therapy according to the first two paragraphs
A. The whole-body cryotherapy can help athletes recover.
B. The therapy has won popularity with only great athletes.
C. People need to wear gloves and socks after cold air fills the room.
D. People need to stay in a freezing small room with almost nothing on.
13. Why does the author mention Phil Mackenzie in Paragraph 3
A. To explain a rule. B. To support an idea.
C. To present a fact. D. To make a prediction.
14. Why do people feel better after receiving the therapy
A. Many celebrities have received the therapy.
B. Extremely cold air is beneficial to people’s health.
C. The therapy may have psychological benefit to them.
D. Scientific studies have proved the effect of the therapy.
15. Which of the following best describes the authorities’ attitude to the therapy
A. Favorable. B. Cautious. C. Tolerant. D. Indifferent.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. B
【解析】

Be Smart Online Learners
Network learning has increasingly become an important means for people to acquire knowledge and solve problems. But being smart online learners has its advantages and disadvantages.
First of all, as smart online learners, we can make full use of the most extensive educational resources to broaden the horizons. Besides, we can take the initiative in our study by ourselves without time and space limit.
Of course, these disadvantages are as follows. Faced with all kinds of information on the Internet, we can’t tell the difference between the true and the false, which may be harmful to our study and life. On the other hand, online learning itself has some imperfections, making it difficult for us not to be affected.
In conclusion, we should have a good understanding of its advantages and disadvantages and find a proper way to make our study more efficient.

47. 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。
It was a Saturday in June, 1988. Out of a 16-year-old's early summer boredom, I had set up a tent in our rural yard and intended to sleep in it, but I stayed in the house to finish watching the Lakers' play-off game. It was almost midnight and Dad had been asleep upstairs for hours when someone knocked at the front door. It never occurred to me not to answer it.
To my surprise, it was a girl about my age with a bloody cut on her forehead. “Hi. I'm Maria. What's wrong with you ” I asked her with concern. Awkward and embarrassed, she replied: “I'm Jane. I...”she hesitated and then asked me carefully, “May I stay here for the night I'll be off tomorrow morning.” Seeing her uneasiness, I comforted her, “Take it easy, Jane. Stay with me tonight.” I invited her into the house.
Looking around, Jane appeared to have calmed down. “Let me treat your injury first,” I said and she agreed.
I cleansed and bandaged (包扎) her injured forehead and then gave her some bread and bacon to eat. “Want to sleep in my tent ” I asked her and she nodded. Having left her in the bathroom, I went to look for another sleeping bag. When I returned, Jane was seated on the sofa, her face clouded by sadness.
Walking across the dark yard, I accompanied Jane into the tent. We lay down side by side. Seized by curiosity and concern, I constantly turned over, wondering what had happened to her and how she came here. Jane seemed to have sensed that and started to speak.
Jane's father died of cancer years before. Her mother did odd cleaning jobs to raise her. Money was tight but her mother tried to do what she could to satisfy Jane. Several weeks before, Jane accidentally saw fancy white dress in the store window, which she fell in love with at first sight. She excitedly told her mother about that, who promised to buy it as her birthday gift. From then on, Jane was looking forward to it.
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。
Jane's 16th birthday came but her mother didn't get home until the evening.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Having told her story, Jane said she regretted being inconsiderate to her mom.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Jane’s 16th birthday came but her mother didn’t get home until the evening. Thirsty for the dress, Jane got extremely disappointed when seeing her mother back empty-handed. She stormed out before her mother could stop her. Jane walked angrily and aimlessly only to find herself in an unknown place hours later. Worse still, she fell down in the dark, hurting her forehead. Painful and hungry, she came to realize she shouldn’t have been so willful, but there was nobody around she could turn to for help. So she had to move on until she saw the light from our house.
Having told her story, Jane said she regretted being inconsiderate to her mom. I kept comforting her until we fell asleep. When Dad awoke us and was told the whole story the next morning, he said to Jane seriously, “It’s dangerous to run away from home. Your mom must be anxious about your safety. I’ll drive you home immediately.” After an hour’s ride, we reached Jane’s home, in front of which stood a worried woman. Jane rushed over and hugged her tightly, saying tearfully, “Sorry, Mom.” Witnessing this, Dad and I breathed a sigh of relief.

For many Chinese consumers, a satisfying breakfast is one that includes either hot porridge(粥) or steamed buns(馒头). Cold sandwiches, which are usually popular with Westerners, are probably one of the last options on their minds. But that is not to say that consumers, especially those in an international city like Shanghai, would avoid everything considered Western for breakfast. For instance, coffee, which has steadily grown in popularity in the country, is one drink that many cannot do without today.
To satisfy this growing demand for breakfast sets that combine elements from the East and the West, food companies have been rolling out a host of new offerings to attract the customer. One example is Shanghai Qiao Coffee, which was launched by local time-honored food company Qiaojiashan at the end of 2019. Apart from its traditional dim sum, the store also sells various types of coffee.
According to Shen Yan, deputy manager of Shanghai Qiaojiashan Food Development Cold, the most popular breakfast set at the moment is the steamed vegetable bun paired with black coffee. “The calories that one gets from a meal featuring Chinese dim sum and coffee are less than those of a Western breakfast. Since a steamed bun has nearly 200 calories and a cup of black coffee barely has any calories, this combination can be considered healthy and delicious," said Shen.
Even the smaller shoppers in the food scene are jumping on the East-West breakfast trend. Western food establishments, too, have been rolling out Chinese breakfast options. "Consumers and even cultural heritage will also benefit from the increased competition. If not for the current trend which has revived interest in certain traditional dim sum, these foods could soon be lost to history," Shen said.
4. What can we learn about breakfast in Shanghai in paragraph 1
A. People favour porridge and steamed buns. B. Coffee is a necessity for many people.
C. People avoid western food for breakfast. D. Cold sandwiches are a popular choice.
5. Why does the set of the steamed vegetable bun with black coffee sell well
A. It is newly launched. B. It is tasty and healthy.
C. It has Chinese characteristics. D. It contains more nutrients.
6. What can we learn from Shen's words in the last paragraph
A. Western food companies don't care about East-West breakfast.
B. Only big companies have the capacity to seize the market share.
C. The combination trend helps keep some traditional foods alive.
D. The competition for breakfast sets is of no benefit to consumers.
7. What does the author intend to tell us
A. Western breakfast is well received by Shanghai people.
B. Chinese consumers show more interest in western food.
C. Shanghai Qiao Coffee has won great success for its breakfast sets.
D. The Chinese-Western breakfast set is warmly welcomed in Shanghai.

Plastic continues to pollute the environment, and it poses a significant threat to all life forms on Earth. Despite knowing the effects of plastic pollution, we have not been able to ban the use of plastic products. Now, thanks to the invention of a 17-year-old girl. we finally have a much better alternative. This plastic-like material is made from shells, and it breaks down 1.5 million times faster than most of plastic products we use today.
She drew the carbohydrate from the shells and turned it into chitosan. She then mixed it with a kind of protein. Using the combination of these two organic materials, Arora created a plastic-like material that breaks down completely within just 33 days. Moreover, this plastic releases nitrogen when breaking down, which is why it can be used as plant fertilizer.
Arora was awarded the Innovator to Market Award. She also gained international recognition through the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair. Thousands of brilliant students from over 81 nations participated in the competition, and Arora came in fourth for her innovation. She also won a comprehensive scholarship to one of the best universities in the United States.
The 17-year-old, now a student of medicine, is seeking to stop the usage of conventional plastic. She has produced the final prototype of her product, and it is ready to be produced commercially. However, before that happens, she has to apply for the patent. She is also talking to supermarkets and urging them to use her plastic, which can be used for all kinds of packaging, and the cost of the product is also lower than most of other plastic products.
An inspiring young woman, Arora wants to make a difference in the world, and she wants to encourage other young people, especially young women, to follow their passion and make a positive difference however they can.
8. Why can this kind of plastic be used as plant fertilizer
A. It contains carbohydrate from the shells.
B. It is the combination of two organic materials.

At this very moment around the world, athletes are stepping almost naked into freezing cold rooms. Why on Earth are they doing this Because it’s supposed to help them feel better.
The treatment is called whole-body cryotherapy. Basketball star LeBron James, soccer great Cristiano Ronaldo, and boxing champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. have all tried it. The therapy works like this. You take off everything but your underwear. Then you put on warm socks and gloves and step into a small room that looks sort of like a shower, except your head sticking 16% out the top. Once you’re locked in, air cooled to below -200°F(-129°C) fills the room. That’s way colder than Antarctica. You stay in for two to three minutes.
Advocates believe the extremely cold air helps muscles recover faster and reduces other body pain. After his first cryotherapy sessions, Phil Mackenzie, a professional rugby player, felt noticeably better. He told Scientific American, ‘I felt refreshed right away. My sleep was better’. Soon, he was using it four times a week. Those who promote cryotherapy make all sorts of wild claims about its benefits. Supposedly, that extremely cold air can increase focus, improve skin tone, make you happier, burn calories, slow aging, and much more.
Is there any evidence to back up these incredible claims Nope. Several small scientific studies have looked at whether the therapy can improve muscle recovery after exercise, with encouraging results. But there just isn’t enough evidence to show that the therapy works. The benefits some people experience may just be the placebo effect. That’s when a patient’s expectation that a treatment will work leads to an improvement.

47. 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。
It was a Saturday in June, 1988. Out of a 16-year-old's early summer boredom, I had set up a tent in our rural yard and intended to sleep in it, but I stayed in the house to finish watching the Lakers' play-off game. It was almost midnight and Dad had been asleep upstairs for hours when someone knocked at the front door. It never occurred to me not to answer it.
To my surprise, it was a girl about my age with a bloody cut on her forehead. “Hi. I'm Maria. What's wrong with you ” I asked her with concern. Awkward and embarrassed, she replied: “I'm Jane. I...”she hesitated and then asked me carefully, “May I stay here for the night I'll be off tomorrow morning.” Seeing her uneasiness, I comforted her, “Take it easy, Jane. Stay with me tonight.” I invited her into the house.
Looking around, Jane appeared to have calmed down. “Let me treat your injury first,” I said and she agreed.
I cleansed and bandaged (包扎) her injured forehead and then gave her some bread and bacon to eat. “Want to sleep in my tent ” I asked her and she nodded. Having left her in the bathroom, I went to look for another sleeping bag. When I returned, Jane was seated on the sofa, her face clouded by sadness.
Walking across the dark yard, I accompanied Jane into the tent. We lay down side by side. Seized by curiosity and concern, I constantly turned over, wondering what had happened to her and how she came here. Jane seemed to have sensed that and started to speak.
Jane's father died of cancer years before. Her mother did odd cleaning jobs to raise her. Money was tight but her mother tried to do what she could to satisfy Jane. Several weeks before, Jane accidentally saw fancy white dress in the store window, which she fell in love with at first sight. She excitedly told her mother about that, who promised to buy it as her birthday gift. From then on, Jane was looking forward to it.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；

Jane's 16th birthday came but her mother didn't get home until the evening.
