The MetroCard New York a thin plastic rechargeable card, is a good option if you are planning to take a tour of New York and are looking for a simple and inexpensive way to get around!
Which to choose
Depending on your preferences you can choose among the following types of cards:
The pay-per-use card: Pay-per-ride MetroCard
A metro journey costs $ 3 (single fare), but with a Pay-per-ride MetroCard you will only pay $2. 75. Your card will be charged for each journey you make.
Note that a card can be used by up to 4 people-i. e. if you only have one card in your group of 4 people, you can access the subway or bus by swiping(刷卡) it 4 times. However, if there are 5 of you, you will need a second card: the Pay-per-ride MetroCard can only be swiped 4 times in a row.
The unlimited use payment card: Unlimited Ride MetroCard
The 7-day-unlimited MetroCard is valid(有效的) for 7 straight days. It costs $33. If you use public transport often during your stay, it will quickly become profitable! That’s why it’s the most commonly used card for tourists.
The 30-day-unlimited MetroCard is valid for 30 days. It costs $127. You have unlimited swipes on the subway and buses for 30 days, and you can’t pause it once started.
The One-year MetroCard is valid for a whole year, so it is of no interest to tourists.
How to use
You have to swipe your MetroCard through the reader and then wait for the display to say “GO”. Unfortunately, this isn’t as easy as it sounds at times. As with many other Metro passes, it can be kind of tricky at first, but if you can’t get it working, you are not alone. Just watch other people and do what they do.
1. How many Pay-per-ride MetroCardsre needed at least for a group of 6 people
A. 1. B. 2. C. 4. D. 6.
2. Which type of card is the most popular among tourists
A. One-year MetroCard.
B. Pay-per-ride MetroCard.
C. 7-day-unlimited MetroCard.
D. 30-day-unlimited MetroCard.
3. What are new users advised to do with failed card swipes
A. Check the reader.
B. Copy successful passengers.
C. Wait for help.
D. Choose other Metro passes.
【答案】1. B 2. C 3. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文。如果你计划采取一个纽约之旅,并正在寻找一个简单而廉价的方式出行,纽约地铁卡,是一个很好的选择。文章主要介绍了纽约地铁卡的种类和如何使用。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据Which to choose 下面的第四段中“Note that a card can be used by up to 4 people(注意,一张卡最多可以被4个人使用)”可知,六个人最少使用两张卡,故选B。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Which to choose 下面的第六段中“The 7-day-unlimited MetroCard is valid(有效的) for 7 straight days...That’s why it’s the most commonly used card for tourists.(七天无限期地铁卡有效期是7天……这就是为什么它是游客最常用的卡。)”可知,7天无限制的地铁卡最受游客欢迎,故选C。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“As with many other Metro passes, it can be kind of tricky at first, but if you can’t get it working, you are not alone. Just watch other people and do what they do.(和许多其他地铁站一样,起初可能有点棘手,但如果你不能让它运转起来,你并不孤单。看着别人怎么做的。)”可知,如果刷卡失败,新用户应该模仿成功的乘客,看看他们是怎么做的。故选B。
B
For a period of time in the early 80s, I watched I Dream of Jeannie reruns every afternoon in the empty time between school and supper. But I always felt a little deflated when the closing theme came on, since it meant that I had to wait an entire day for the next episode.
Decades later, thanks to the modern technology, on-demand viewing and an endless supply of content now allow us to find exactly the entertainment we want, when we want it. My own kids happily binge-watch Fresh Off the Boat, just as I dreamed of doing with Jeannie.
Lately, I’ve been thinking about a disadvantage of our just-for-you world. My kids miss out on all the things that are not just for them. Looking back, some of my more memorable discoveries as a child came about only because I didn’t have access to entertainment that I would have preferred.
When we would visit our aunts, my sisters and brothers and I didn’t have tablets to keep ourselves occupied while the adults chatted. So we would read whatever we could find. I looked forward to Sunday afternoons at Aunt Rose’s so that I could catch up on aliens and Hollywood stars in Weekly World News. These things—none of which were aimed at my tastes—were all that was on offer. However, they brought me so much enjoyment.
Electronic searching now takes us directly to what we seek. We are less likely to come across things that have nothing to do with what we are looking for. But finding something by accident is powerful in its purposelessness. It’s nature throwing things up against a wall to see what sticks. It’s the force that drives evolution.
Getting exactly what you want all the time sounds great. But as anyone who is familiar with fantasy stories knows, there’s always a catch.
4. What does the underlined word “deflated” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Depressed. B. Thrilled.
C. Convinced. D. Ashamed.
5. What brought happiness to the author at Aunt Rose’s
A. Latest tablets. B. Brothers and sisters.
C. different reading materials. D. Pleasant conversations.
6. What is the author’s attitude to electronic searching
A. It contributes to the evolution.
B. It’s absolutely beneficial to adults.
C. It’s a blessing of this modern world.
D. It takes unexpected joy away from people.
7. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. What was on offer in the early 80s
B. What our kids miss out in a just-for-you world
C. How adults had fun with inaccessible entertainment
D. How anxious-to-please Internet changed the future of kids
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要通过讲述作者儿时的亲身经历说明了现代的电子搜索使得人们可以直接得到所搜索的东西,但是也让人们失去了很多意想不到的快乐。
【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段最后一句“But I always felt a little deflated when the closing theme came on, since it meant that I had to wait an entire day for the next episode.”(但当片尾主题响起时,我总是感到有点……,因为这意味着我必须等待一整天才能看到下一集。)可知,作者要等待一整天才能看到下一集,所以当片尾曲开始时,作者会感到沮丧,故推知deflated意为“沮丧的”,所以,划线单词与A项“Depressed”意义一致。故选A项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段第二三句“So we would read whatever we could find. I looked forward to Sunday afternoons at Aunt Rose’s so that I could catch up on aliens and Hollywood stars in Weekly World News.”(所以我们会读我们能找到的任何东西。我盼望着星期天下午去罗斯姨妈家,这样我就可以在《世界新闻周刊》上了解外星人和好莱坞明星的情况。)及最后一句“However, they brought me so much enjoyment.”(然而,它们给我带来了许多的乐趣。)可知,在罗斯阿姨家,不同的阅读材料给作者带来了快乐。故选C项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“These things—none of which were aimed at my tastes—were all that was on offer. However, they brought me so much enjoyment.”(这些东西——没有一样是针对我的口味的——都是当时现有的东西。然而,它们给我带来了许多的乐趣。)及第五段前两句“Electronic searching now takes us directly to what we seek. We are less likely to come across things that have nothing to do with what we are looking for.”(电子搜索现在把我们直接带到我们要找的东西。我们不太可能遇到与我们寻找的东西无关的东西。)可知,意料之外的东西可以给人们带来很多快乐,而电子搜索会直接提供人们所搜索的东西,人们不太可能遇见意料之外的东西,所以作者认为电子搜索带走了人们意想不到的快乐。故选D项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段前两句“Lately, I’ve been thinking about a disadvantage of our just-for-you world. My kids miss out on all the things that are not just for them. ”(最近,我一直在思考我们这个只属于你的世界的一个缺点。我的孩子们错过了所有他们意料之外的东西。)及第五段前两句“Electronic searching now takes us directly to what we seek. We are less likely to come across things that have nothing to do with what we are looking for.”(电子搜索现在把我们直接带到我们要找的东西。我们不太可能遇到与我们寻找的东西无关的东西。)并结合文章内容可知,本文主要介绍了电子搜索使得人们可以直接得到所搜索的东西,但是也让人们少了很多意想不到的快乐,所以B项“在一个只属于你的世界里,我们的孩子错过了什么”可以作为文章标题。故选B项。
C
Imagine if it were easy for everyone to get to the seashore, to smell the sea winds and to feel seawater on their skin. Wouldn’t it be great if people with walking difficulty could also get closer to the ocean to enjoy the thrill of a sunset, watching the sun’s rays light up the waves The good news is that things are moving in the right direction!
In a CDC study, around 14% of adults in the US report a mobility disability, defined as serious difficulty walking or climbing stairs. This can make vacation planning a challenge and put some destinations off-limits. But technology companies like Mobi-mat are making a day at the beach for people with limited mobility a reality.
Mobi-mat has developed some exciting innovations like non-slip roll-out accessibility mats(垫子). These function like red carpets at movie premieres(首映), taking people with special needs right to the seashore. They are made of a fine nylon material that is designed for people who use wheelchairs or may otherwise need a firmer surface to cross the sand.
More cities are working to make enjoyment of the beach much more wide-ranging in other creative ways based on regional conditions. The town of Jupiter in Florida has opened up access to its beaches to people who have trouble going up and down stairs via three new wide wooden walkovers. The Miami Herald recently reported on the upcoming construction of a wheelchair-accessible beachfront observation platform, and upgraded park with adaptive playground and exercise equipment for people with disabilities in Miami Beach.
Inspired by creative innovation, forward-looking policymakers and companies, and the shared demands of disabled people who are calling for better access to beautiful beach locations, it seems that many more people of all abilities will be able to head to the beach.
8. What is the good news mentioned in paragraph 1
A. The seashore becomes the hottest destination.
B. The ocean environment changes for the better.
C. Beaches are more accessible to the disabled.
D. Approaching the sea benefits disabled people.
9. What can we learn about the mat from Mobi-mat
A. It offers a firm surface. B. It originates from movies.
C. It replaces wheelchairs. D. It functions beneath the sand.
10. What can be inferred about the measures in Jupiter and Miami
A. They’re well behind schedule.
B. They center on ocean protection.
C. They need to be more creative.
D. They’re tailored to local conditions.
11. What is the purpose of this text
A. To introduce a friendly move.
B. To recommend a treatment.
C. To advertise beautiful beaches.
D. To report findings of a study.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了Mobi-mat科技公司开发了一些令人兴奋的创新产品,使得一些行动不便的人们在海滩上度过一天成为现实。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Wouldn’t it be great if people with walking difficulty could also get closer to the ocean to enjoy the thrill of a sunset, watching the sun’s rays light up the waves The good news is that things are moving in the right direction!(如果步行困难的人们也可以走近大海,欣赏日落的刺激,看着太阳的光芒照亮海浪,那该多好啊?好消息是,事情正朝着正确的方向发展!)”可知,第一段提到的好消息是残疾人士会更容易到达海滩,故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Mobi-mat has developed some exciting innovations like non-slip roll-out accessibility mats(垫子). These function like red carpets at movie premieres(首映), taking people with special needs right to the seashore. They are made of a fine nylon material that is designed for people who use wheelchairs or may otherwise need a firmer surface to cross the sand.(Mobi-mat已经开发了一些令人兴奋的创新产品,如推出防滑无障碍垫。这些功能就像电影首映式上的红地毯,把有特殊需要的人带到海边。它们是由一种优良的尼龙材料制成的,这种材料是为那些使用轮椅或者需要更坚固的表面才能穿过沙子的人们设计的。)”可知,Mobi-mat提供了坚固的表面,故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“More cities are working to make enjoyment of the beach much more wide-ranging in other creative ways based on regional conditions. The town of Jupiter in Florida has opened up access to its beaches to people who have trouble going up and down stairs via three new wide wooden walkovers. Miami Herald recently reported on the upcoming construction of a wheelchair-accessible beachfront observation platform, and upgraded park with adaptive playground and exercise equipment for people with disabilities in Miami Beach.(越来越多的城市正在根据当地条件,以创造性的方式努力使海滩游玩更加广泛。佛罗里达州的朱庇特镇通过三个新的宽阔的木质步行机,向上下楼梯有困难的人们开放了进入其海滩的通道。《迈阿密先驱报》最近报道说,即将在迈阿密海滩建造一个可供轮椅使用的海滨观景平台,并为残疾人提供适应性游乐场和运动设备。)”可推知,在朱庇特和迈阿密采取的措施是根据当地条件而制定的,故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是第二段中“But technology companies like Mobi-mat are making a day at the beach for people with limited mobility a reality.(但是像Mobi-mat这样的科技公司正在让行动不便的人们在海滩上度过一天成为现实。)”可知,文章主要讲述了Mobi-mat科技公司开发了一些令人兴奋的创新产品,这使得一些行动不便的人们在海滩上度过一天成为现实。由此可推知,文章的主要目的是介绍一个友好的举动。故选A。
D
While there are many milk substitutes (替代品) on the market, most fall short of imitating dairy milk. And while vegetarians around the world have grown accustomed to these substitutes, millions of milk drinkers are unsatisfied with these options, which don’t often taste, look, and blend like dairy milk. That accuracy is exactly what Impossible Foods has set out to develop. “We want milk that a dairy milk consumer will choose,” said CEO Pat Brown at a virtual conference call.
Like the famous Impossible Burger which tastes, cooks, and bleeds like real meat, Impossible Milk will also most likely be soy-based, giving it a protein profile (外形) like dairy milk. While the product is still in development for at least another year, Brown said in the conference call that soy is a very good choice from a nutritional standpoint and a supply chain standpoint, and for those reasons he thinks there’s a great chance that it will be the base protein for their product.
Plant-based milk, meats, and other products have been rising over the past several years as environmental and health concerns have grown, especially among millennials (千禧一代). According to a study by YouGov, approximately 55 percent of millennials surveyed agree with the statement “I am open to substituting meat or dairy products with healthy substitutes”.
And the market is seeing this preference take shape. According to the Dairy Farmers of America, milk sales dropped by $1.1 billion between 2017 and 2018. While at the same time, the Plant-Based Food Association revealed that the sales of plant-based milk increased a lot, making up 15 percent of the total milk market.
As the trend towards choosing plant-based substitutes grows, so do the products, which can now be found in supermarkets throughout the world. With no plans of slowing down, plant-based food substitutes are a micro revolution that is changing the very culture of our food consumption from the bottom all the way to the top.
12. What is the goal of Impossible Foods
A. To satisfy the increasing demand for milk.
B. To attract more vegetarians to buy milk.
C. To make its milk more similar to dairy milk.
D. To develop more nutritional milk substitutes.
13. What is most of the young generation’s attitude to plant-based milk
A. Favorable. B. Unclear. C. Indifferent. D. Intolerant.
14. What do the figures in paragraph 4 imply
A. The poor sales of milk substitutes.
B. The success of Impossible Foods’s milk.
C. The booming market for plant-based milk.
D. The competition among plant-based products.
15 What do we know about plant-based substitutes
A. They will change vegetarians’ diets.
B They are only sold in supermarkets.
C. They are expensive for most consumers.
D. They have a strong effect on food culture.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章以植物性牛奶切入,介绍了植物性替代食物的优势、人们对它们的看法,以及前景。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“And while vegetarians around the world have grown accustomed to these substitutes, millions of milk drinkers are unsatisfied with these options, which don’t often taste, look, and blend like dairy milk. That accuracy is exactly what Impossible Foods has set out to develop. “We want milk that a dairy milk consumer will choose,” said CEO Pat Brown at a virtual conference call. (虽然世界各地的素食主义者已经习惯了这些替代品,但数以百万计的牛奶饮用者对这些选择不满意,因为它们通常尝起来、看起来和混合起来都不像牛奶。这种准确性正是Impossible Foods所要开发的。首席执行官Pat Brown在一次虚拟电话会议上说:‘我们希望牛奶消费者能选择我们的牛奶。’)”可知,Impossible Foods的目的是让牛奶替代品更像牛奶。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“According to a study by YouGov, approximately 55 percent of millennials surveyed agree with the statement “I am open to substituting meat or dairy products with healthy substitutes”. (根据YouGov的一项研究,约55%的千禧一代受访者同意‘我对用健康替代品替代肉类或奶制品持开放态度’的说法)”可知,千禧一代对植物性牛奶持支持态度。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的“According to the Dairy Farmers of America, milk sales dropped by $1.1 billion between 2017 and 2018. While at the same time, the Plant-Based Food Association revealed that the sales of plant-based milk increased a lot, making up 15 percent of the total milk market.(根据美国奶农协会的数据,2017年至2018年间,牛奶销售额下降了11亿美元。与此同时,植物性食品协会透露,植物性牛奶的销量增长了很多,占牛奶总市场的15%)”推知,各种数据表明了植物性牛奶市场的蓬勃发展。故选C。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的“With no plans of slowing down, plant-based food substitutes are a micro revolution that is changing the very culture of our food consumption from the bottom all the way to the top. (没有放缓的计划,植物性食物替代品是一场微观革命,它正在改变我们的食物消费文化,从底部一直到顶部)”可知,植物性替代品对饮食文化有巨大影响。故选D。

“Yeah, a BATTLE!” said William, pulling my arm. “You see that, John ”
I looked up from my desk to see Ms. Chow writing on the board, “Battle of the Books!” She smiled and then said, “Are you ready to go into the battle Get prepared for it next week!”
“Is it a reading contest ” I was so excited that I forgot to raise my hand first.
“Good question, John!” said Ms. Chow. “It is not a race and you are not going to beat each other. We are not going to see who can read the fastest or the most books, but you are going to form a team of three and then set a reading goal for your team. If your team meet your goal by the end of this month, you will get a prize!”
Even though the prize was something silly, that still sounded pretty good to me. I turned towards William immediately, saying,“Shall we be teammates ”
“Yes, for sure!” he said. William and I liked a lot of the same books, so we could set a goal together.
The be1l rang before Ms. Chow could explain any more rules. William and I were about to begin our discussion when Lily passed my desk and said “Teammates ” to William and me. Lily was a girl from Spain and she could read super-fast in both English and Spanish! If we set a goal like reading books by authors from different countries, she could help the team for sure.
“Yeah,of course!” William and I nodded. I had my team! The three of us settled down and started a discussion immediately, trying to figure out what we needed to do to get the prize. Just then, I saw my best friend Tom running towards my desk. I could clearly see the expectation shining in his eyes.

【答案】 “John, let’s be teammates!” Tom said to me excitedly. Hearing what Tom said, I bowed my head in embarrassment, not daring to meet his eyes because I didn’t know how to refuse him politely. He was my best friend and I didn’t want to ruin our friendship. William and Lily also fell into silence and had no idea how to deal with it. Suddenly, Lily said happily, “we can turn to Ms. Chow for help. If we really want to be a team, maybe she will grant our request. ”
Hearing what Lily said, we agreed with her suggestion. So we approached Ms. Chow who was getting ready to leave the classroom. After hearing what we said, she finally agreed, but with one condition that we must set a higher reading goal for our team since we had four. We agreed happily. Finally, the problem was solved perfectly and nobody was heart-broken. I was firmly sure that we would complete our reading goal and win the prize.

第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)

A
The MetroCard New York, a thin plastic rechargeable card, is a good option if you are planning to take a tour of New York and are looking for a simple and inexpensive way to get around!
Which to choose
Depending on your preferences, you can choose among the following types of cards:
The pay-per-use card: Pay-per-ride MetroCard
A metro journey costs $ 3 (single fare), but with a Pay-per-ride MetroCard you will only pay $2. 75. Your card will be charged for each journey you make.
Note that a card can be used by up to 4 people-i. e. if you only have one card in your group of 4 people, you can access the subway or bus by swiping(刷卡) it 4 times. However, if there are 5 of you, you will need a second card: the Pay-per-ride MetroCard can only be swiped 4 times in a row.
The unlimited use payment card: Unlimited Ride MetroCard
The 7-day-unlimited MetroCard is valid(有效的) for 7 straight days. It costs $33. If you use public transport often during your stay, it will quickly become profitable! That’s why it’s the most commonly used card for tourists.
The 30-day-unlimited MetroCard is valid for 30 days. It costs $127. You have unlimited swipes on the subway and buses for 30 days, and you can’t pause it once started.
The One-year MetroCard is valid for a whole year, so it is of no interest to tourists.
How to use
You have to swipe your MetroCard through the reader and then wait for the display to say “GO”. Unfortunately, this isn’t as easy as it sounds at times. As with many other Metro passes, it can be kind of tricky at first, but if you can’t get it working, you are not alone. Just watch other people and do what they do.
1. How many Pay-per-ride MetroCardsre needed at least for a group of 6 people
A. 1. B. 2. C. 4. D. 6.
2. Which type of card is the most popular among tourists
A. One-year MetroCard.
B. Pay-per-ride MetroCard.
C. 7-day-unlimited MetroCard.
D. 30-day-unlimited MetroCard.
3. What are new users advised to do with failed card swipes
A. Check the reader.
B. Copy successful passengers.
C. Wait for help.
D. Choose other Metro passes.
B
For a period of time in the early 80s, I watched I Dream of Jeannie reruns every afternoon in the empty time between school and supper. But I always felt a little deflated when the closing theme came on, since it meant that I had to wait an entire day for the next episode.
Decades later, thanks to the modern technology, on-demand viewing and an endless supply of content now allow us to find exactly the entertainment we want, when we want it. My own kids happily binge-watch Fresh Off the Boat, just as I dreamed of doing with Jeannie.
Lately, I’ve been thinking about a disadvantage of our just-for-you world. My kids miss out on all the things that are not just for them. Looking back, some of my more memorable discoveries as a child came about only because I didn’t have access to entertainment that I would have preferred.
When we would visit our aunts, my sisters and brothers and I didn’t have tablets to keep ourselves occupied while the adults chatted. So we would read whatever we could find. I looked forward to Sunday afternoons at Aunt Rose’s so that I could catch up on aliens and Hollywood stars in Weekly World News. These things—none of which were aimed at my tastes—were all that was on offer. However, they brought me so much enjoyment.
Electronic searching now takes us directly to what we seek. We are less likely to come across things that have nothing to do with what we are looking for. But finding something by accident is powerful in its purposelessness. It’s nature throwing things up against a wall to see what sticks. It’s the force that drives evolution.
Getting exactly what you want all the time sounds great. But as anyone who is familiar with fantasy stories knows, there’s always a catch.
4. What does the underlined word “deflated” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Depressed. B. Thrilled.
C. Convinced. D. Ashamed.
5. What brought happiness to the author at Aunt Rose’s
A. Latest tablets. B. Brothers and sisters.
C. different reading materials. D. Pleasant conversations.
6. What is the author’s attitude to electronic searching
A. It contributes to the evolution.
B. It’s absolutely beneficial to adults.
C. It’s a blessing of this modern world.
D. It takes unexpected joy away from people.
7. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. What was on offer in the early 80s
B. What our kids miss out in a just-for-you world
C. How adults had fun with inaccessible entertainment
D. How anxious-to-please Internet changed the future of kids
C
Imagine if it were easy for everyone to get to the seashore, to smell the sea winds and to feel seawater on their skin. Wouldn’t it be great if people with walking difficulty could also get closer to the ocean to enjoy the thrill of a sunset, watching the sun’s rays light up the waves The good news is that things are moving in the right direction!
In a CDC study, around 14% of adults in the US report a mobility disability, defined as serious difficulty walking or climbing stairs. This can make vacation planning a challenge and put some destinations off-limits. But technology companies like Mobi-mat are making a day at the beach for people with limited mobility a reality.
Mobi-mat has developed some exciting innovations like non-slip roll-out accessibility mats(垫子). These function like red carpets at movie premieres(首映), taking people with special needs right to the seashore. They are made of a fine nylon material that is designed for people who use wheelchairs or may otherwise need a firmer surface to cross the sand.
More cities are working to make enjoyment of the beach much more wide-ranging in other creative ways based on regional conditions. The town of Jupiter in Florida has opened up access to its beaches to people who have trouble going up and down stairs via three new wide wooden walkovers. The Miami Herald recently reported on the upcoming construction of a wheelchair-accessible beachfront observation platform, and upgraded park with adaptive playground and exercise equipment for people with disabilities in Miami Beach.
Inspired by creative innovation, forward-looking policymakers and companies, and the shared demands of disabled people who are calling for better access to beautiful beach locations, it seems that many more people of all abilities will be able to head to the beach.
8. What is the good news mentioned in paragraph 1
A. The seashore becomes the hottest destination.
B. The ocean environment changes for the better.
C. Beaches are more accessible to the disabled.
D. Approaching the sea benefits disabled people.
9. What can we learn about the mat from Mobi-mat
A. It offers a firm surface. B. It originates from movies.
C. It replaces wheelchairs. D. It functions beneath the sand.
10. What can be inferred about the measures in Jupiter and Miami
A. They’re well behind schedule.
B. They center on ocean protection.
C They need to be more creative.
D. They’re tailored to local conditions.
11. What is the purpose of this text
A. To introduce a friendly move.
B. To recommend a treatment.
C. To advertise beautiful beaches.
D. To report findings of a study.
D
While there are many milk substitutes (替代品) on the market, most fall short of imitating dairy milk. And while vegetarians around the world have grown accustomed to these substitutes, millions of milk drinkers are unsatisfied with these options, which don’t often taste, look, and blend like dairy milk. That accuracy is exactly what Impossible Foods has set out to develop. “We want milk that a dairy milk consumer will choose,” said CEO Pat Brown at a virtual conference call.
Like the famous Impossible Burger which tastes, cooks, and bleeds like real meat, Impossible Milk will also most likely be soy-based, giving it a protein profile (外形) like dairy milk. While the product is still in development for at least another year, Brown said in the conference call that soy is a very good choice from a nutritional standpoint and a supply chain standpoint, and for those reasons he thinks there’s a great chance that it will be the base protein for their product.
Plant-based milk, meats, and other products have been rising over the past several years as environmental and health concerns have grown, especially among millennials (千禧一代). According to a study by YouGov, approximately 55 percent of millennials surveyed agree with the statement “I am open to substituting meat or dairy products with healthy substitutes”.
And the market is seeing this preference take shape. According to the Dairy Farmers of America, milk sales dropped by $1.1 billion between 2017 and 2018. While at the same time, the Plant-Based Food Association revealed that the sales of plant-based milk increased a lot, making up 15 percent of the total milk market.
As the trend towards choosing plant-based substitutes grows, so do the products, which can now be found in supermarkets throughout the world. With no plans of slowing down, plant-based food substitutes are a micro revolution that is changing the very culture of our food consumption from the bottom all the way to the top.
12. What is the goal of Impossible Foods
A. To satisfy the increasing demand for milk.
B. To attract more vegetarians to buy milk.
C. To make its milk more similar to dairy milk.
D. To develop more nutritional milk substitutes.
13. What is most of the young generation’s attitude to plant-based milk
A. Favorable. B. Unclear. C. Indifferent. D. Intolerant.
14. What do the figures in paragraph 4 imply
A. The poor sales of milk substitutes.
B. The success of Impossible Foods’s milk.
C. The booming market for plant-based milk.
D. The competition among plant-based products.
15. What do we know about plant-based substitutes
A. They will change vegetarians’ diets.
B. They are only sold in supermarkets.

“Yeah, a BATTLE!” said William, pulling my arm. “You see that, John ”
I looked up from my desk to see Ms. Chow writing on the board, “Battle of the Books!” She smiled and then said, “Are you ready to go into the battle Get prepared for it next week!”
“Is it a reading contest ” I was so excited that I forgot to raise my hand first.
“Good question, John!” said Ms. Chow. “It is not a race and you are not going to beat each other. We are not going to see who can read the fastest or the most books, but you are going to form a team of three and then set a reading goal for your team. If your team meet your goal by the end of this month, you will get a prize!”
Even though the prize was something silly, that still sounded pretty good to me. I turned towards William immediately, saying,“Shall we be teammates ”
“Yes, for sure!” he said. William and I liked a lot of the same books, so we could set a goal together.
The be1l rang before Ms. Chow could explain any more rules. William and I were about to begin our discussion when Lily passed my desk and said “Teammates ” to William and me. Lily was a girl from Spain and she could read super-fast in both English and Spanish! If we set a goal like reading books by authors from different countries, she could help the team for sure.
“Yeah,of course!” William and I nodded. I had my team! The three of us settled down and started a discussion immediately, trying to figure out what we needed to do to get the prize. Just then, I saw my best friend Tom running towards my desk. I could clearly see the expectation shining in his eyes.
注意:
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右;

“John, let’s be teammates!” Tom said to me excitedly.

Hearing what Lily said, we agreed with her suggestion.
