（2022·河南·模拟预测）Parents annoyed by their little ones’ picky food choices often sigh in anger, thinking, “They’ll grow out of it by college.” Maybe not, suggests a new study from Bowling Green State University in Ohio. Some young people continue their picky eating into early adulthood, often restricting their diets to 10 foods or even fewer. Such a deficient diet can mean they’re not getting the fibre and vegetables they need, which could be a health problem. They study also suggests picky eaters may also be experiencing other challenges such as social phobias (恐惧症), including around eating. The social phobia is the fear of being judged by others during everyday activities, often resulting in fear or embarrassment.
For the study, researchers surveyed 488 Midwestern college students. About 40% of the students were identified as picky eaters. And about 65% of those respondents said they ate fewer than 10 foods. “We asked participants to just tell us what challenges around picky eating might have had or any benefits they might see, and people answered differently in terms of what has an effect on them,” said co-author Lauren Dial, a doctoral student at Bowling Green State at the time of the study.
Many indicated they’d eat less or not at all outside the home. One 19-year-old man said he’d drink water half the time “due to my picky eating”, according to the study. Another 18-year-old said, “Sometimes there are some awkward comments when I am eating with my girlfriend and her family.” A 23-year-old woman said her parents would get frustrated at her refusal to try the foods she was served.
“Picky eating does have a lot to do with the presentation of foods (how they’re presented on a plate), and the texture (口感) of foods (is it a consistent texture),” Dial Said, “but there’s also fear of trying new foods and that might play into picky eating.” By learning more about picky eating in adults, the researchers said they may be able to determine how best to intervene (干预) before the problem becomes more severe for some people.
1．What can best replace the underlined word “deficient” in paragraph 1
A．Limited. B．Low-fat. C．Balanced. D．High-fibre.
2．What were the participants asked to do during the research
A．Record how often they eat out. B．Ignore what influences their eating.
C．Express how picky eating affects them. D．Count how many kinds of foods they prefer.
3．How does the author mainly develop paragraph 3
A．By presenting data. B．By providing examples.
C．By following time order. D．By making comparisons.
4．What can be inferred about picky eating the last paragraph
A．It has something to do with family traditions.
B．It can be easily cured by researchers.
C．It often comes along with serious mental illnesses.
D．It can have both physical and mental reasons.
（2022·河南省叶县高级中学模拟预测）Chang’e-5 returned to Earth on December 16, 2020, carrying around 2 kilograms of rocks and soils from the moon. The successful mission (任务) marks a big step forward for China’s space industry.
“These samples will be a treasure chest!” Brad Jolliff, director of the McDonnell Center for the Space Sciences at Washington University, wrote in an email, “My hat is off to our Chinese colleagues for accomplishing a very difficult task.”
The newly collected rocks come from a place close to the Mons Rumker that was believed to have been volcanic in ancient times. By comparison, the age of these samples are thought to be billions of years younger than those brought to Earth by Apollo astronauts in the 1970s. They will help scientists fill in a gap in knowledge about the history of the moon between roughly one billion and three billion years ago. They may also help scientists study the useful materials on the moon.
Chang’e-5 is the third phase of the Chinese lunar exploration project started in the early 2000s. Orbiters Chang’e-1 and 2 and the landing and roving missions Chang’e-3 and 4 marked the first two stages.
Chang’e-5 mission is much more challenging than previous missions. New challenges include the sampling and following stages. “We usually completed the rocket launching (发射) on the earth at a fixed point. We have a proven technique in this field. But we still have difficulties in the liftoff of a lunar lander. We have never tried this before,” said Yu Dengyun, deputy chief designer of China’s lunar exploration program.
The success of Chang’e-5 sample return mission has shown that China is able to carry out its plan to build a long-term crewed International Lunar Research Station (ILRS) in the lunar south pole region during 2036~2045. Success of Chang’e-5 will also see Chang’e-6 repurposed for a landing at the lunar south pole around 2023. Chang’e-6 is a sample return spacecraft engineered at the same time as Chang’e-5 to provide a backup in the event of failure.
5．Why is Brad Jolliff so excited about the lunar samples returned by Chang’e-5
A．They are collected for the first time. B．They are from a live volcano.
C．They will provide more valuable data. D．They are billions of years older.
6．What can be inferred from paragraph 5
A．China has overcome the difficulties in building ILRS.
B．Yu was worried about Chang’e-5 sample return mission.
C．China is ready for more challenging lunar explorations.
D．The 2036~2045 mission will be much more challenging.
7．Which spacecraft is very similar to Chang’e-5
A．Chang’e-2. B．Chang’e-3. C．Chang’e-4. D．Chang’e-6.
8．What is the best title for the text
A．China’s Great Win Over the United States

（2022·安徽·芜湖一中一模）Icehouse and ice ticket
As early as Pre-Qin Dynasty, people used natural ice to keep food fresh and make cold drinks. The Zhou royal court had a specialized department called “ice administration”. They collected natural ice blocks each December to store in the icehouse. During the Qing Dynasty, “ice tickets” were used and they were available only to officials and the rich.
Ice container
The most commonly used cooling tool is called “Jian”, which is a big container filled with ice. It was made of clay in early Chinese history, and was later made of copper (铜). The “Jian” can be seen as an ancient refrigerator, which can be used to make cold drinks.
Hiding food in the well
During the Qin and Han dynasties, for common people, the most common way to cool off is by using their wells. Some families put a pot in the well as a cold closet, or put food in a basket and lowered the basket into the well with a rope.
Herbal drinks
During the Qing Dynasty, taking Chinese herbal medicine was popular in Beijing. In hot summer, some people preferred to drink ice water, some boiled perilla leaves, and liquorice as summer soup to keep off the heat. Ancient people also loved to make lotus seed soup in summer for the benefit of strengthening the body.
9．What does “Jian” have the same function as
A．Container. B．Refrigerator. C．Clay. D．Copper.
10．Which of the following is unavailable to common people
A．Ice tickets. B．Ice container. C．Hiding food in the well. D．Herbal drinks.
11．What’s the common purpose of the above four ways
A．To strengthen the body. B．To keep food fresh.
C．To escape the summer heat. D．To make cold drinks.
（2022·安徽·合肥市第八中学模拟预测）We are a culture drowning in our possessions. We take in more and more ( holiday, birthdays, sales, needs ),but rarely find an opportunity to get rid of it. As a result, our homes fill up with so much stuff. And because we believe the best solution is to find organizational tools to manage all of it, we seek out bigger containers or more efficient organizational tips and tricks. But simply organizing our stuff must be repeated over and over.
At its heart, organizing is simply rearranging. And though we may find storage solutions today, we are quickly forced to find new ones as early as tomorrow. Additionally, organizing has some other major shortcomings that are rarely considered. For example, it doesn’t benefit anyone else. The possessions we rarely use sit on shelves in our basements or garages, even while some of our closest friends desperately need them.
On the other hand, the act of getting rid of stuff from our home accomplishes many purposes. It is not a temporary solution. It is an action of permanence — once an item has been removed, it is removed completely. Whether we re-sell our possessions, donate them to charity, or give them to a friend, they are immediately put to use by those who need them.
Removing possessions begins to turn back our desire for more as we find freedom and happiness in owning less. And removing ourselves from the all-consuming desire to own more creates opportunities for significant life changes to take place.
If you’re struggling with how to get rid of stuff, you can first challenge yourself to remove the unneeded things in your home, carry a trash bag from room-to-room, see how big of a donation pile you can make, and even eliminate debt by selling what you no longer need.
It doesn’t matter how you remove them, for it is far better to remove than to always organize.
12．What is the problem with simply organizing stuff
A．Few tools and tricks are available. B．It needs to be repeated very often.
C．People cannot save money by organizing. D．Desire to buy more disappears by organizing.
13．How can we remove unnecessary possessions
A．By reselling them to others. B．By keeping them in trash bags.
C．By storing them in the garage. D．By piling them on the shelves.
14．What does the underlined word “eliminate” mean in Paragraph 5
A．get rid of B．get over C．add to D．take charge of
15．What is the purpose of the passage
A．To explain the advantages and disadvantages of organizing things.
B．To inform readers of the ways to get rid of unnecessary possessions.
C．To call for people to remove stuff instead of just organizing.
D．To appeal to people to make donations to people in need.
（2022·江西南昌·模拟预测）During COVID’s first wave, the streets of New York and other major cities became empty. The sound of cars decreased, but urban citizens heard something new: an abundance of birdsong. During walks outside, they breathed cleaner air. Lockdowns had meant fewer cars on the roads, and the effects were unmissable. Levels of nitrogen dioxide-a by-product of fossil fuels burned in cars and in electricity generation—were 30 percent lower along the road from Washington D．C．to Boston in March 2020 compared with previous years. Summer coming, people sat at outdoor extensions of restaurants built in parking zones and moved around on newly added bike lanes. These incidental adaptations to the pandemic allowed citizens to experience the benefits of moving away from the “car is king“ situation in a way that policies for climate-friendly equipment never could, explains Christian Brand, an environmental scientist with the Transport Studies Unit at the University of Oxford. Now, he says, “they know what’s possible.”
Some fought to keep it that way. Paris has been a leader of this conversion. The French capital already had plans to press down car use and encourage cycling before COVID appeared, but in late spring 2020 some 50 kilometers of pop-up bike lanes, called coronapistes, were added almost overnight. They are now a permanent part of Paris’s cycling network, with more in the works.
These measures, Brand says, came in no small part because of political will. Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo made climate change a focus of her reelection campaign. Besides providing subsidies(补贴)for purchasing and repairing bicycles, she emphasized the health benefits of reducing car emissions. In other cities, like New York, changes were more modest or temporary. Shutdowns may have presented the possibility of safer, healthier streets-but it was often a fleeting(飞逝的)vision.
16．What happened during COVID’s first wave
A．Most people were infected with the virus:
B．City environment became better.
C．People drove cars instead of walking outside.
D．People no longer went to restaurants.
17．What does the underlined word “conversion” in Paragraph 2 mean
A．Condition. B．Competition.
C．Change. D．Struggle.
18．What did Anne Hidalgo pay special attention to
A．Protecting citizens’ safety. B．Fighting the pandemic.
C．Measuring people’s political will. D．Dealing with climate issues.
19．What can be a suitable title for this text
A．The Pandemic Led to Greener Cities Unexpectedly
B．More and More Bicycles Ended ”Car Is King“ Time
C．Political Leaders Took Measures to Reduce Pollution
D．Covid-19 Brought Benefits to People’s Health
（2022·江西·临川一中模拟预测）The COVID-19 pandemic is causing worldwide concern for elementary and secondary school students’ mental condition. The following are some possible activities that can be carried out to help them and also create a safe and healthy school environment.
John’s and Mary’s thoughts
Students are presented with a picture which says that John and Mary have different thoughts after they have heard of the coronavirus (冠状病毒). Then students are invited to guess and write the characters’ thoughts on the picture. This activity uses a “projective” method, as students are not asked what their feelings are, but instead, they project their feelings onto the characters.
When I’m worried
After talking about what the characters may think, students can now turn their attention to themselves. They are asked to list their common worries, but most importantly, they are directed to think about some response measures and the helpful relationships they can rely on. This is a vital exercise, for it shifts students’ focus from their worries to the coping strategies.
Seeking a balance
Students are asked to provide three key recommendations to prevent infection. Teachers can pick out the positive behavior and correct any incorrect suggestions. It’s also important to strike a balance between the recommended healthy behavior and the concept that microorganisms are a natural part of the environment and that many of them play a key role in sustaining human life.
Videos to know and understand viruses
It is advisable to plan science lessons on microorganisms. Students can know more about the pandemic by studying microbial (微生物的) life, and thus they can understand what viruses are and how they spread. But be careful not to bring anxiety—avoid talking about scary messages.
20．Which activity helps students express their feelings indirectly
A．Seeking a balance. B．John’s and Mary’s thoughts.
C．When I’m worried. D．Videos to know and understand viruses.
21．Why is the second activity important to reduce students’ worries
A．It puts students at ease.
B．It enables students to share experiences.
C．It directs students’ attention to the solutions.
D．It helps students to establish good relationships.
22．What can students learn from the last two paragraphs
A．The concept of science. B．Suggestions to prevent infection.
C．Knowledge about microorganisms. D．Positive behavior to stay healthy.
（2022·黑龙江·哈师大附中模拟预测）A NASA spacecraft that will deliberately crash into an asteroid (小行星) is preparing to launch this week. The DART mission, or the Double Asteroid Redirection Test, will lift off at 10:20 p. m. PT on November 23, 2021 aboard a Space X Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. Live coverage of the event will air on NASA TV and the agency’s site. But the true test for this asteroid deflection (偏转) technology will come in September 2022, when the spacecraft reaches its destination, to see how it affects the motion of a near-Earth asteroid in space.
The mission target is Dimorphos, a small moon orbiting the near-Earth asteroid Didymos. This will be the agency’s first full-scale demonstration of this type of technology on behalf of planetary defense. It also will be the first time that humans have changed the motion of a solar system body in a measurable way, according to the European Space Agency.
It’s the perfect time for the DART mission to occur. Didymos and Dimorphos will be relatively close to Earth—within 11 million kilometers—in September 2022. The spacecraft will come speeding in at about 24,140 kilometers per hour, targeting Dimorphos, said Nancy Chabot, DART coordination leader at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland.
The mission’s aim is to deliberately crash into Dimorphos to change the asteroid’s motion in space, according to NASA．This collision will be recorded by CubeSat, a companion cube satellite provided by the Italian Space Agency. It’s the Italian Space Agency’s first deep space mission.
The briefcase-size CubeSat will travel on DART and then be moved from it before impact (撞击) so it can record what happens. Three minutes after the impact, the CubeSat will fly by Dimorphos to capture images and video. The video of the impact will be streamed back to Earth, which should be “pretty exciting,” said Elena Adams, DART mission systems engineer at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory.
23．Which of the following is true according to the text
A．The Italian Space Agency has launched deep space missions before.
B．The spacecraft will reach its destination in September 2022.

（2022·黑龙江·哈九中三模）After winning the bid to host the 2022 Winter Olympics, China has been striving to hold a high-tech Winter Games. Now, as the games are approaching, the viewers can learn how innovative technologies are being used, especially in the construction of venues.
For example, how the National Aquatics Center, also known as the “Water Cube”, was turned into the “Ice Cube”. The main change is to turn the four-lane swimming pool into a curling rink (冰场). According to Xinhua, the “transformation” will be completed by using a quick-disassembly (快速拆除的) system. Simply put, the water will be drained (抽干) from the pool and then a convertible (可移动的) frame will be built and put inside. The frame is made up of 2,600 H-shape steel columns and has a height of three meters and a length of two meters, China News Service reported.
Another major technology applied can be seen at the National Speed Skating Oval (NSSO) , known as the “Ice Ribbon”. Traditionally, freon, which harms the ozone layer, was used in the ice-making process. But NSSO adopts an environmentally friendly technology, which uses carbon dioxide to make ice.
For another new venue, the National Sliding Center, the design team was confronted with a tricky problem. The center features a 1.9m sliding track. The center is located on the southern slope of Xiaohaituo Mountain in Yanqing. The sunlight in the southern slope is stronger than that in the northern slope. What’s more the Yanqing competition zone has complex terrain (地形) and strong wind,” Li Bo, a professor at Beijing Jiaotong University, told CGTN. “Wind resistance is the key to the construction of buildings,” Li added.
So they studied the wind filed date in the zone, analyzed the sun’s height in different seasons, and used computer models to simulate (模拟) and determine the awning (遮阳篷) coverage on the track. Finally, the team developed a system combining the terrain and awning to reduce the impact of solar radiation.
27．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “striving” in paragraph 1______
A．fighting bravely B．criticizing severely C．working hard D．thinking highly
28．What can learn about the frame used to transform the “Water Cube” into the “Ice Cube”.
A．It is as long as three meters. B．It is in the shape of letter A．
C．It can be taken apart easily. D．It can turn water into ice automatically.
29．What is the benefit of the technology used to build the National Sliding Center
A．It can cut carbon emissions significantly.
B．It can absorb harmful chemicals freon releases.
C．It helps athletes quickly familiarize themselves with the complex terrain.
D．It can reduce the impact of strong wind and solar radiation.
30．What is the text mainly about
A．A comparison of some Beijing Winter Olympic venues.
B．Technologies used to build the Beijing Winter Olympic venues.
C．China’s mission of holding the Beijing Winter Olympics.
D．The difficulties of venue transformation for the Beijing Winter Olympics.
（2022·陕西·模拟预测）A new test for COVID-19 is coming to store shelves throughout the U.S. This is the first test for the disease that you can do at home. It does not need a prescription, or doctor’s approval, to use.
Currently, the U.S. is testing nearly 2 million people daily, and most health experts agree the country needs to be testing many more people than that. Most tests still require a nasal swab (鼻拭子) performed by a health professional, followed by processing at a laboratory. That typically means you have to wait days for the test results.
For months, health experts have stressed the need for fast, widespread home testing, which allows people to screen themselves and avoid contact with others if they have an infection. With this new home test, people can “swab their nose, run the test and find out their results in as little as 20 minutes,” said FDA commissioner Stephen Hahn.
The test kit includes a small tool to help you to take nasal swab, or sample from inside your nose. Once you swab your nostril (鼻孔) you place the swab onto a small cartridge. This cartridge analyzes the sample and sends the results to an app on your smartphone. The app displays the results and then helps you interpret them. Users can also connect with a health professional through the app.
Ellume’s test works differently than other tests. Most tests look for the genetic material of the virus. This is the material that hakes up its genes, which influence how the virus looks and acts. However, Ellume’s test looks for proteins that the virus sheds (散发). These viral proteins are large molecules that can trigger a response from your immune system, which is the collection of cells and their responses that help the body fight off infections.
Like other COVID-19 tests that look for proteins, Ellume’s test still has a shall chance of errors. FDA officials say that people who get a negative result but still have coronavirus symptoms should follow up with a doctor.
Although the price of the test could prevent some people from using it, Dr. Michael Mina, a professor at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, called the new test “a great addition” to existing options.
31．What is the problem with current testing in the U.S.
A．It is not efficient enough. B．It leads to poor management.
C．It based on nasal swabs. D．It results in outbreak of virus.
32．What is the right procedure for home testing
a. analyze the sample
b. send the result to an app
c. take a nasal swab
d. place the swab on a cartridge
e. interpret the result
A．cadbe. B．cdabe. C．dcbae. D．dcabe.

D．Home test for COVID-19.
（2022·陕西·略阳县天津高级中学二模）Chinese people spent more time on leisure activities in 2021 compared with the period before the novel coronavirus hit, according to a recent report by the China Tourism Academy. The academy said that urban residents’ leisure time was closely related to their work. They spent more time on leisure activities on weekends in 2021, about 4. 4hours a day, compared with an average of 3.82 hours a day on workdays. It said that urban residents’ leisure time increased both at weekends and during holidays in 2021 when compared with 2019. Daily weekend leisure time increased by 0.91 of an hour and that during holidays by 0.64 of an hour. The time that people in rural areas spent enjoying leisure activities rose nearly 39 percent compared with 2019, increasing to 4.36 hours a day from 3.14 hours before the COVID-19 pandemic struck.
Shopping at physical stores remained the most popular leisure activity for both urban residents and people in the countryside, followed by activities like facial treatments, hairdressing and manicures(修指甲). “Shopping is my favorite way to give vent to my negative emotions and pressure, also for leisure,” said Li Lingli, a 28-year-old financial analyst in Beijing. She said she had quite a heavy workload on workdays and also on weekends, meaning she didn't have much time to enjoy other leisure activities, especially outdoor ones like camping or hiking.
The report said it will be difficult to increase people’s leisure time in the future due to the large amount of time they spend working and looking after children.
A recent survey by the academy shows that 50 percent of urban residents worked over eight hours a day and 15 percent worked over 10 hours a day. “Heavy workload is truly a big problem,” Li said. “For me, as long as I don’t message or email back my clients, it’s my leisure time. I sometimes go to museums or exhibitions over holidays. It’s also a good form of leisure to appreciate beautiful art pieces.”
Dai Bin, chairman of the academy, said at an online conference that with more rural residents spending time on leisure activities thanks to the nation's rural vitalization(振兴)policy, the tourism market and travel companies will embrace new growth in the future.
35．How many hours did people in rural areas spend a day on leisure activities in 2021
A．3.14. B．3.82. C．4. 36. D．4.4.
36．What can be known about the report by the China Tourism Academy
A．Touring around was the most popular leisure activity.
B．A quarter of urban residents worked more than ten hours a day.
C．People will find it hard to have more and more leisure time in the future.
D．Urban residents' leisure time didn't have much to do with their work.

（2022·陕西宝鸡·二模）Although the weather is very hot now, the carnival of ice and snow is getting closer. The preparation work for Beijing Winter Olympic Games, which are expected to begin on Feb 4, 2022, has entered its final stage. In January, 2021, the ice-making work on the Ice Ribbon, a landmark venue for the Beijing Winter Olympics, was completed.
In the Winter Olympics, where races can be won or lost by a small-time gap, tiny imperfections in the ice can make a big difference. “It’s not just a hunk of ice like you’d normally think of, like ice cubes sitting in your freezer,” told Kenneth Golden, a US mathematician who studies the structures of ice. “It’s a much more fascinating and complex substance than people would normally think.”
The first step for building any ice rink is to purify the water to remove dissolved solids like salts and minerals. Such impurities don’t fit in the regular hexagonal (六边形的) structure of ice that forms as water freezes. The purer the water is, the more consistent the ice surface.
In addition to the need for excellence in the raw materials of ice-making, technology is also very important. As one of the most advanced technologies for winter sports venues, a carbon dioxide (CO2) cooling technology has been applied on a large scale for the Beijing Winter Olympic Games. CO2 is not new when it comes to ice-making. However, it has been gradually replaced by the man-made refrigerant (制冷剂) like Freon.
With increasing attention toward climate change, the old refrigerant has come into use again. As an element of the atmosphere, CO2 doesn’t damage the ozone layer. Although CO2 is a greenhouse gas, its greenhouse effect is much lower than that of other man-made refrigerants. The Winter Olympics venues adopted CO2 instead of Freon as a refrigerant in ice-making, which will reduce carbon dioxide emissions greatly.
“We believe these technological innovations will bring Beijing 2022 to spectators all over the world in a more impressive way,” told Gao Bo from the Media Operations Department of the Organizing Committee of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games.
39．What is the result of impurities in water for ice-making
A．The water isn’t able to freeze completely.
B．The quality of the ice will be affected.
C．The ice surface will be more consistent.
D．It’s likely for athletes to fall on the ice.
40．Why has CO2 cooling technology been applied for the Winter Olympic Games
A．It’s the most advanced technologies for ice-making.
B．CO2 is more efficient than other refrigerants.
C．CO2 is more environmentally-friendly than Freon.
D．CO2 has already existed in the atmosphere.
41．What is Gao’s attitude to CO2 being applied to ice-making
A．Unclear. B．Opposed. C．Doubtful. D．Favourable.
42．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A．The Beijing Winter Olympic Games Is Coming.
B．Beneath Olympic Ice.
C．The Use of Refrigerants in Olympic Games.

（2022·青海·模拟预测）An experimental cleanup device called RemoveDebris has successfully cast a net around adummy (仿造的) satellite, simulating (模拟) a technique that could one day collect spaceborne garbage.
The test, which was carried out this week, is widely believed to be the first successful demonstration of space cleanup technology, experts told CNN. And it signals an early step toward dealing with what is already a key problem: rubbish in space.
Millions of pieces of junk are turning around in orbit, the result of 50 years of space travel and few regulations to keep space clean. At orbital speeds, even a small bit of paint crashing with a satellite can cause serious damage.
Various companies have plans to send thousands of new satellites into low-Earth orbit, already the most crowded area.
The RemoveDebris experiment is run by a company and researchers led by the UK’s Surrey Space Centre and includes Airbus, Airbus-owned Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd. and France’s Ariane Group.
Guglielmo Aglietti, the director of Surrey Space Centre, said that an operational version of the RemoveDebris technology would cast out a net that remains fastened to the main satellite so the debris can be dragged out of orbit. It could target large pieces of junk, including dead satellites up to 10meters long.
The RemoveDebris satellite will conduct a few more experiments in the coming months, including testing navigation systems that could help guide the satellite to a specific piece of debris. Jonathan McDowell, an astrophysicist at the Harvard Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics, said the success of this week’s experiment was exciting, but he cautioned against “over-publicizing” it. There are still big barriers to clear before operational cleanup tasks will be underway, he said, and the biggest challenge is figuring out how to fund such projects.
Aglietti, the Surrey professor who helped lead the RemoveDebris project, said “the challenge will be to convince the relevant authorities to sponsor these tasks”. Aglietti said he hopes RemoveDebris will conduct a few cleanup tasks per year, targeting the largest pieces of rubbish in the most crowded orbits. Aglietti is hopeful.
43．What attracts people to invent RemoveDebris
A．Exploring space. B．Testing an orbit.
C．Cleaning satellites. D．Removing waste in space.
44．How does the RemoveDebris work
A．It throws a net to take junk from orbit. B．It fastens junk to the main satellite.
C．It targets large pieces of junk carefully. D．It drags junk up to 10 meters long.
45．What do we know about RemoveDebris
A．It is successful in cleanup tasks.
B．It still needs to be broadcasted widely.
C．It should get some financial help from authorities.
D．It helps researchers to find a specific junk.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。一项关于大学生的研究表明，那些自认为挑食的人往往伴随着社交恐惧症。
1．词义猜测题。根据第一段的“Some young people continue their picky eating into early adulthood, often restricting their diets to 10 foods or even fewer. (一些年轻人在成年早期仍然挑食，经常把他们的饮食限制到10种食物，甚至更少)”可知，这是有限的饮食。由此推知，划线词deficient与limited(有限的)意思接近。故选A项。
2．细节理解题。根据第二段的“We asked participants to just tell us what challenges around picky eating they might have had or any benefits they might see, and people answered differently in terms of what has an effect on them(我们请参与者告诉我们他们关于挑食遇到的难题以及他们看到的益处，在能够影响到他们的因素上，他们的回答不尽相同)”可知，参与者需要表达挑食是如何影响他们的。故选C项。
3．推理判断题。根据第三段“One 19-year-old man said he’d drink water half the time “due to my picky eating”, according to the study. Another 18-year-old said, “Sometimes there are some awkward comments when I am eating with my girlfriend and her family.” A 23-year-old woman said her parents would get frustrated at her refusal to try the foods she was served. (根据这项研究，一名19岁的男子说，他有一半的时间是喝水的，“因为我挑食”。另一位18岁的网友说：“当我和女朋友及其家人一起吃饭时，有时会听到一些尴尬的评论。”一名23岁的女子说，如果她拒绝尝试他们提供给她的食物，她的父母会感到沮丧)”可知，作者主要是通过提供例子展开第三段的。故选B项。
4．推理判断题。根据最后一段的““Picky eating does have a lot to do with the presentation of foods (how they’re presented on a plate), and the texture (口感) of foods (is it a consistent texture),” Dial Said, “but there’s also fear of trying new foods and that might play into picky eating.”(“挑食确实与食物的摆放（它们在盘子里的摆放方式）和食物的质地（它的质地是否一致）有很大关系，戴尔说，“但人们也害怕尝试新食物，这可能会导致挑食。”)”可推断，挑食既有物理上的原因又有心理上的原因。故选D项。
