Australia Post is celebrating the 10th anniversary of BirdLife Australia’s Aussie Bird Count with three of our most commonly seen birds set to be flying across the globe on a commemorative stamp issue launch today.
Rainbow Lorikeet: Known for its kaleidoscopic colors, the Rainbow Lorikeet has been the number one most seen bird every year of the Aussi e Bird Count. These social and energetic birds are often spotted in urban areas, parks, and gardens, feeding on flowering native plants and spreading joy with their playful calls, though in cities to which they have been introduced such as Perth and Hobart their presence is not so welcome as they out-compete local parrot species.
Noisy Miner: As the name suggests the Noisy Miners are highly vocal birds with a complex range of calls. They are skilled communicators, using a variety of sounds to defend their home and communicate with their group. These fascinating honeyeaters are essential pollinators, but the number of these bold birds has increased so much that they have started to drive away many of our smaller bush birds.
Australian Magpie: The iconic Australian Magpie, with its distinctive black and white feathers, holds a special place in the hearts of many Australians. Known for their beautiful, melodious song, magpies are highly intelligent and form strong social bonds. They are also famous for their swooping (俯冲) behaviour during the nesting season, as their protective instincts kick in to safeguard their weak chicks in the nest.
The stamp issue includes various products, such as the Aussie Bird Count First Day Cover (Gummed Stamps), the Aussi e Bird Count First Day Cover (Minisheet), and a set of three Maxicards, which can be used as postcards and posted worldwide. Starting today, the stamps are available for purchase through Australia Post’s official website: https://.au//stamps.
1. What can we learn about the Aussie Bird Count
A. It takes charge of BirdLife Australia. B. It has existed for about ten years.
C. It has branches across the world. D. It mainly focuses on three species.
2. Which can be spotted easily in Australia
A. Rainbow Lorikeet. B. Noisy Miner.
C. Bush Magpie. D. Australian Magpie.
3. What is the main purpose of the text
A. To call on people to protect local birds.
B. To persuade people to count the number of local birds.
C. To encourage people to buy stamps about local birds.
D. To inform people of the situation of the endangered birds.

Vishwanath Mallabadi Davangere has a unique talent for turning abandoned items into amazing works of art. From metal and plastic to old devices and circuit boards, Vishwanath selects only the finest “good stuff” with potential for transformation.
Vishwanath’s father was a well-known sculptor and painter, but he had hopes of his son becoming a doctor. But Vishwanath had other ideas. He was fascinated with upcycling second-hand objects from a young age, and decided to pursue a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Applied Art. Even as a high-level administrator at Wipro, working in Talent Transformation, Vishwanath wouldn’t shake his passion for eco-art. In his free time and on the weekends, he devoted himself to experimenting with e-waste and creating one-of-a-kind masterpieces before retiring two years ago.
With India facing a growing e-waste crisis, producing 10.1 lakh tonnes in 2019-20 with only 22.7% recycled, Vishwanath’s passion for recycling is more important than ever. As he learned more about the harm e-waste was causing to the environment, he took his art to the next level creating paintings and sculptures that spread awareness about this urgent issue.
From computer keyboard keys to data cards and even wristwatch parts, Vishwanath has transformed over 500 pieces of e-waste into amazing pieces of art! He has created a six-foot-tall sculpture, eco-jewellery and even wearable art for a fashion show. One of his masterpieces—an awesome landscape—was inspired by Vincent van Gogh’s The Starry Night.
In just a few short minutes, he can turn pieces of e-waste into great pieces of jewellery. When it comes to sculptures, the process might take weeks or even months. But it’s all worth it because sustainable initiatives and upcycled art are fashionable these panies everywhere are looking to adopt a more sustainable culture, and Vishwanath’s art is the perfect addition to any eco-friendly office or home.

UK safety advisers have dismissed concerns that highly processed food, also known as ultra-processed food (UPF), is automatically unhealthy because of the way it is made or its artificial ingredients. The current way that the UK and most other countries assess the nutrition al value of foods—which is generally by how much fat, salt, sugar and calories they contain—remains the best approach to achieving a health y diet, said a team of scientists. They also warned that people who cut out all ultra-processed foods could make their diets more unhealthy, for instance, if they avoid foods such as yogurts, low-fat spreads, wholemeal bread and food made of grains.
Concerns about processed foods have been growing, but it is unclear if there is something uniquely bad about them or if they just tend to be higher in things like fat and sugar. The issue has come into focus this year since Chris van Tulleken, a doctor and TV presenter, published a book called Ultra-Processed People: Why do we all eat stuff that isn’ t food... and why can’t we stop Chris van Tulleken has called for more countries to adopt dietary guidelines pioneered in Brazil, where people are advised to prioritise eating whole foods and homemade meals, and avoid eating factory-made foods.
On 27 September, researchers from nutrition organisations rejected the proposed system. “We absolutely need foods to be processed so that we can feed the world,” said May at the University of Leeds, UK, who is a member of the British Nutrition Foundation. May also said UPF includes products that are both healthy and unhealthy. “It’s important we don’t throw the baby out with the bath water here. There are many components that have a very important role to play in nutrition and in safety,” he said.
Benefits of food processing include the use of preservatives that make food last longest and artificial sweeteners that help people reduce their sugar intake, said May. Other examples of processed foods that can be beneficial include baby food, infant formula milk and breads with added vitamins and minerals, said the panel.
8. What can be known from paragraph 1
A. Low-fat spreads are ultra-processed food.
B. Wholemeal bread is unhealthy to us.
C. Ultra-processed food doesn’t contain sugar.
D. The nutritional value of food needs to be precisely recorded.
9. What does Chris van Tulleken suggest people do
A. They should avoid ultra-processed food. B. They should not have homemade food.
C. They should consume more Brazilian food. D. They should read more books on healthy food.
10. What does May imply by saying the underlined sentence in paragraph 3
A. Kids should raise their awareness of food safety.
B. Children are the biggest victims of ultra-processed food.
C. Ultra-processed food does cause more damage to children.
D. Ultra-processed food has both advantages and disadvantages.
11. What can be the best title for the text
A. How Ultra-processed Food Benefits People
B. Ultra-processed Food Isn’t Always Unhealthy
C. A Popular Book Brings Focus on Ultra-processed Food
D. What Health Risks Ultra-processed Food Brings to People
【答案】8. A 9. A 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了专家指出超加工食品并不总是不健康的，研究人员指出超加工食品既有优点也有缺点，人们应该理性看待。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“They also warned that people who cut out all ultra-processed foods could make their diets more unhealthy, for instance, if they avoid foods such as yogurts, low-fat spreads, wholemeal bread and food made of grains. (他们还警告说，不吃所有超加工食品的人可能会使他们的饮食更不健康，例如，如果他们不吃酸奶、低脂酱、全麦面包和谷物制成的食物。)”可知，低脂酱是超加工食品。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Chris van Tulleken has called for more countries to adopt dietary guidelines pioneered in Brazil, where people are advised to prioritise eating whole foods and homemade meals, and avoid eating factory-made foods. (克里斯·范·图勒肯呼吁更多国家采用巴西首创的饮食指南，建议人们优先食用天然食物和自制食物，避免食用工厂生产的食品。)”可知，克里斯·范·图勒肯建议人们应该避免超加工食品。故选A。
【10题详解】
句意猜测题。根据划线句上文““We absolutely need foods to be processed so that we can feed the world,” said May at the University of Leeds, UK, who is a member of the British Nutrition Foundation. May also said UPF includes products that are both healthy and unhealthy. (英国营养基金会成员、英国利兹大学的梅说：“我们绝对需要加工食品，这样我们才能养活世界。”梅还说，UPF包括健康和不健康的产品。)”以及后文“There are many components that have a very important role to play in nutrition and in safety (有许多成分在营养和安全方面发挥着非常重要的作用)”可知，超加工食品包括健康和不健康的产品，并且加工食品养活世界，有许多成分在营养和安全方面发挥着非常重要的作用，从而可知她想表达的是：超加工食品既有优点也有缺点。故划线句意思是“超加工食品既有优点也有缺点”。故选D。
【11题详解】

D
Called ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC), the idea is to use surface water warmed by the sun to heat a fluid such as ammonia or water, which then runs a heat engine to produce energy, just like a power plant driven by steam. Cold water from deeper layers of the ocean would then be piped up to cool the fluid and repeat the cycle. Theoretically, oceans could provide vast amounts of electricity like this. Researchers have estimated that there is enough ocean heat to supply 7,000 gigawatt s a year without affecting ocean circulation, enough to supply the world’s electricity demand— if we can access it.
The idea was first put forward in 1881, but went largely unexplored until the 1970s oil. crisis drove a search for new sources of energy. In the years since, demonstration projects have been built, but progress has been “disappointing”, says AI Binger at SIDS DOCK, an organisation that promotes clean energy development in small island countries. In recent years, a fresh urgency to transition away from fossil fuels has brought a suggestion of an OTEC return. “It’s the most promising it’s been in many decades,” says Andrea Copping at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Washington state.
Tropical (热带的) islands are good candidates for OTEC because of their high energy costs— diesel (柴油) generators are common there—and the presence of deep cold water not far from shore, says James Van Zwieten at Florida Atlantic University. Islands also have less space for other types of renewables. A barrier for past projects was the cost of fixing kilometres of large pipes to reach deep water. Global OTEC aims to avoid that by extending a shorter pipe from a platform floating in deep water 10 kilometres offshore, then transmitting electricity back via a cable (电缆), and making use of advances made in offshore wind technology.
“OTEC will be part of providing a reasonable energy transition so these places aren’t depending on diesel imports from the richest petrol states in the world,” says Dan Grech, Global OTEC’s CEO.
12. What can we learn about OTEC technology from paragraph 1
A. It mainly uses offshore wind to generate electricity.
B. It has been widely applied to the oceans all over the world.
C. It can clean the water in the deeper layers of the ocean.
D. It depends strongly on the temperature difference in the ocean.
13 What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A. The advantages of OTEC. B. The development of OTEC.
C. Successful projects of OTEC. D. Different opinions on OTEC.
14. What difficulty did the past projects have with OTEC on islands
A. Lacking technology for generating electricity.
B. Being far away from the shore.
C. Enormous investment in the pipe equipment.
D. Great demand for the space.
15. What is Dan Grech’s attitude towards OTEC
A. Opposed. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Uncaring.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了海洋热能转换的想法的原理、发展过程、意义、前景等。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第一段中“Called ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC), the idea is to use surface water warmed by the sun to heat a fluid such as ammonia or water, which then runs a heat engine to produce energy, just like a power plant driven by steam. Cold water from deeper layers of the ocean would then be piped up to cool the fluid and repeat the cycle. Theoretically, oceans could provide vast amounts of electricity like this. (这个被称为海洋热能转换（OTEC）的想法是利用被太阳加热的地表水加热氨或水等流体，然后运行热机产生能量，就像由蒸汽驱动的发电厂一样。然后，来自海洋较深层的冷水将被输送上来冷却液体，并重复这个循环。理论上，海洋可以像这样提供大量的电力。)”可知，OTEC技术很大程度上取决于海洋中的温差。故选D。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。由文章第二段中“The idea was first put forward in 1881, but went largely unexplored until the 1970s oil. crisis drove a search for new sources of energy.

Four Useful Ways to Stop Comparing Yourself to Others
Don’t compare your life to everyone else’s highlight reel (高光时刻). Are you ready for my most shocking observation yet ____16____. It’s usually not the complete picture of someone’s life—it’s just the highlight reel. We’re spending all this money and emotional energy just to keep up with a life we think everyone else is living and we’re missing out on what’s happening right in front of us. And that is ruining not only our mental health, but our financial security as well.
____17____ You can be modest and still recognize your strengths, talents and accomplishments. You don’t have to beat yourself up to be modest. In fact, that’s a pretty unhealthy approach, and it’s one of the biggest dangers of comparison living. The more we compare ourselves to others, the worse we feel about ourselves. That’s a dangerous trap we’ve got to avoid. Try writing down three things you really like about yourself—things you can identify as strengths. Don’t just write “good people skills” like what you’d put on a boring resume. ____18____!
Have boundaries around how much time you spend on social media. Don’t follow any accounts that tend to make you feel bad about yourself. Set a timer and allow yourself to scroll (滚屏) for 30 minutes. ____19____. Don’t feel forced to reply to every comment and message nobody got time for that.
Learn to compete with yourself instead of others. Instead of focusing on where you are compared to others, focus on your own goals. Where are you compared to where you were at this time last year In the past year, you’ve learned, stretched, improved, accomplished and created. ____20____! If you’ve kept journals, go back through them. If you haven’t, there’s no better time to start journaling than today.
A. Make them personal
B Focus on your strengths
C. Love your imperfections
D. Social media doesn’t always reflect reality
E. When time is up, step away from social media
F. It has been suggested to restrict it to only one hour a day
G. Think about how much of that you’ve done in your lifetime
【答案】16. D 17. B 18. A 19. E 20. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了停止与他人比较的四个有用方法
【16题详解】
根据空格后的句子“It’s usually not the complete picture of someone’s life—it’s just the highlight reel.(它通常不是一个人生活的全貌——它只是最精彩的片段)”可知，it指的是空格处句子提到的内容，所以，D项“Social media doesn’t always reflect reality(社交媒体并不总是反映真实情况)”填入空格处，符合语境，下一句中的it指的是社交媒体反映的情况。故选D项。
【17题详解】
空格处的句子是该段的主题句。根据下文的句子“You can be modest and still recognize your strengths, talents and accomplishments.(你可以很谦虚，但仍然认识到自己的长处、才能和成就)”和“Try writing down three things you really like about yourself—things you can identify as strengths.(试着写下你真正喜欢自己的三件事——你可以确定为优势的事情)”可知，该段的建议是让你“关注自己的强项”，所以，B项“Focus on your strengths(聚焦自己的强项)”填入空格处，符合语境。故选B项。
【18题详解】
由空格前的句子“Don’t just write “good people skills” like what you’d put on a boring resume(不要只写“良好的人际交往能力”，就像你在一份无聊的简历上写的那样)”，可知，列举自己的强项的时候，要写出自己个性化的内容。所以A项“Make them personal(让他们个性化)”填入空格处，符合语境。故选A项。
【19题详解】

【36题详解】
考查非谓动词。句意：为了推动气候合作，有着悠久历史和独特文化的中国正在采取绿色措施。分析句子结构可知，空处需要动词不定式作目的状语。该结构位于句首，首字母大写。故填To boost。
【37题详解】
考查形容词。句意：杭州市采用了一种实用的生态方法。空处需要形容词作定语修饰后面的名词。practice为名词，其形容词形式为practical“实用的”。故填practical。
【38题详解】
考查时态以及主谓一致。句意：亚运会的重点是“绿色、智慧、节俭、文明”的比赛，反映出在重大赛事中采取更环保、更可持续的做法的趋势。分析句子结构可知，本句话为主系表结构。句子描述一般事实，所以用一般现在时态。主语为“The emphasis of the Asian Games”，谓语动词用单数。故填is。
【39题详解】
考查连词。句意：传统的烟花表演很有趣，但会污染空气。空处需要连词连接“are fun”和“pollute the air”。根据语境可知，传统的烟花表演很有趣，但会污染空气，所以前后为转折关系，用转折连词but。故填but。
【40题详解】
考查名词。句意：亚运会旨在展示对可持续发展的承诺，同时用数字视觉效果和声音演示取代这一活动，为所有客人提供引人入胜和难忘的体验。根据空前的a可知，空处需要可数名词的单数形式。commit为动词，其名词形式为commitment“承诺”。故填commitment。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意：亚运会旨在展示对可持续发展的承诺，同时用数字视觉效果和声音演示取代这一活动，为所有客人提供引人入胜和难忘的体验。provide sth. for sb.“为某人提供某物”。故填for。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：亚运会的环保许可项目包括用回收瓶子制成的背包和用稻壳制成的飞盘。分析句子结构可知，空处需要非谓语动词作后置定语。该动词和修饰的名词之间为被动关系，所以用过去分词作定语。故填made。
【43题详解】
考查形容词性物主代词。句意：由于所有亚运会场馆和设施都采用了绿色能源，本届亚运会的绿色元素展示了中国最近的绿色转型，以及实现双碳目标的责任和承诺。空处需要形容词性物主代词作定语，修饰后面的名词。故填its。
【44题详解】
考查时态语态。句意：碳积分被用于促进低碳习惯，包括后期回收、绿色通勤和无塑料购买。分析句子结构可知，空处为句子的谓语动词。本句话描述过去的事实，用一般过去时态。该动词和主语之间为被动关系，所以该句话为一般过去时态的被动语态。主语为复数。故填were used。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意：中国继续实施气候变化政策，发展更好的碳市场，参与全球气候治理。空后的market为可数名词“市场”，所以空处需要不定冠词表示泛指。空后为辅音音素开始的单词，所以用不定冠词a。故填a。

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。
At one table by the window, a lady just finished up her lunch. It wasn’t anything fancy, just a sandwich and some salad, with a cup of tea to wash them all down. She seemed to be in her own little world, staring out the window every now and then, like she was waiting for something. After a bit, she got up, paid for her meal at the counter, and left.
Her table was still a mess, with bits of her meal left behind. It wasn’t a big deal—this happens all the time. But today, something different was going to happen. A young boy, who looked like he’d had a pretty rough time, had been watching her and the table from around the corner.
This kid was in bad shape. His clothes were too big and looked like they’d seen better days. His hair was all over the place, and there was dirt on his face. He had that look of someone who hadn’t had a good meal for way too long. When the lady left, he saw his chance. He quickly sat down and started scarfing down (狼吞虎咽) the leftovers like they were the best meal he’d ever had.
But then, the waiter walked over. He was an older guy who’d probably seen everything. He didn’t say anything at first, just watching the kid for a second. The boy got scared and stopped eating, and tears started to well up in his eyes. He thought the waiter would kick him out for sure. Instead, the waiter took away the half-eaten plate, and the boy’s heart sank. The boy got up to leave.
注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
But before he could get far, the waiter came back.

Then all people in the canteen started clapping.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
But before he could get far, the waiter came back. He had a full, fresh meal in hand—warm and smelling amazing. He signaled the little boy to sit down and landed the meal with great care on to the table. The kid couldn’t believe it and couldn’t find words to express himself. He just stared for a second until the tears started falling. This time, they were happy tears. In the meantime, the whole canteen went quiet when the people in the canteen saw what was happening.
Then all people in the canteen started clapping. Everyone was smiling and looking at the kid enjoying his surprise meal. As the boy ate, other consumers started walking up to the waiter and giving him some money. They were tipping him, but it wasn’t just a few coins; they were super generous. The boy, with a full stomach and a happy heart, looked like he couldn’t thank the waiter enough. They didn’t talk much, but it didn’t matter. They were just two people sharing a quiet moment together, and it felt like they understood each other perfectly.

A
Australia Post is celebrating the 10th anniversary of BirdLife Australia’s Aussie Bird Count with three of our most commonly seen birds set to be flying across the globe on a commemorative stamp issue launch today.
Rainbow Lorikeet: Known for its kaleidoscopic colors, the Rainbow Lorikeet has been the number one most seen bird every year of the Aussi e Bird Count. These social and energetic birds are often spotted in urban areas, parks, and gardens, feeding on flowering native plants and spreading joy with their playful calls, though in cities to which they have been introduced such as Perth and Hobart their presence is not so welcome as they out-compete local parrot species.
Noisy Miner: As the name suggests, the Noisy Miners are highly vocal birds with a complex range of calls. They are skilled communicators, using a variety of sounds to defend their home and communicate with their group. These fascinating honeyeaters are essential pollinators, but the number of these bold birds has increased so much that they have started to drive away many of our smaller bush birds.
Australian Magpie: The iconic Australian Magpie, with its distinctive black and white feathers, holds a special place in the hearts of many Australians. Known for their beautiful, melodious song, magpies are highly intelligent and form strong social bonds. They are also famous for their swooping (俯冲) behaviour during the nesting season, as their protective instincts kick in to safeguard their weak chicks in the nest.
The stamp issue includes various products, such as the Aussie Bird Count First Day Cover (Gummed Stamps), the Aussi e Bird Count First Day Cover (Minisheet), and a set of three Maxicards, which can be used as postcards and posted worldwide. Starting today, the stamps are available for purchase through Australia Post’s official website: https://.au//stamps.
1. What can we learn about the Aussie Bird Count
A. It takes charge of BirdLife Australia. B. It has existed for about ten years.
C. It has branches across the world. D. It mainly focuses on three species.
2. Which can be spotted easily in Australia
A. Rainbow Lorikeet. B. Noisy Miner.
C. Bush Magpie. D. Australian Magpie.
3. What is the main purpose of the text
A. To call on people to protect local birds.
B. To persuade people to count the number of local birds.
C. To encourage people to buy stamps about local birds.

Vishwanath Mallabadi Davangere has a unique talent for turning abandoned items into amazing works of art. From metal and plastic to old devices and circuit boards, Vishwanath selects only the finest “good stuff” with potential for transformation.
Vishwanath’s father was a well-known sculptor and painter, but he had hopes of his son becoming a doctor. But Vishwanath had other ideas. He was fascinated with upcycling second-hand objects from a young age, and decided to pursue a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Applied Art. Even as a high-level administrator at Wipro, working in Talent Transformation, Vishwanath wouldn’t shake his passion for eco-art. In his free time and on the weekends, he devoted himself to experimenting with e-waste and creating one-of-a-kind masterpieces before retiring two years ago.
With India facing a growing e-waste crisis, producing 10.1 lakh tonnes in 2019-20 with only 22.7% recycled, Vishwanath’s passion for recycling is more important than ever. As he learned more about the harm e-waste was causing to the environment, he took his art to the next level creating paintings and sculptures that spread awareness about this urgent issue.
From computer keyboard keys to data cards and even wristwatch parts, Vishwanath has transformed over 500 pieces of e-waste into amazing pieces of art! He has created a six-foot-tall sculpture, eco-jewellery and even wearable art for a fashion show. One of his masterpieces—an awesome landscape—was inspired by Vincent van Gogh’s The Starry Night.
In just a few short minutes, he can turn pieces of e-waste into great pieces of jewellery. When it comes to sculptures, the process might take weeks or even months. But it’s all worth it because sustainable initiatives and upcycled art are fashionable these panies everywhere are looking to adopt a more sustainable culture, and Vishwanath’s art is the perfect addition to any eco-friendly office or home.

UK safety advisers have dismissed concerns that highly processed food, also known as ultra-processed food (UPF), is automatically unhealthy because of the way it is made or its artificial ingredients. The current way that the UK and most other countries assess the nutrition al value of foods—which is generally by how much fat, salt, sugar and calories they contain—remains the best approach to achieving a health y diet, said a team of scientists. They also warned that people who cut out all ultra-processed foods could make their diets more unhealthy, for instance, if they avoid foods such as yogurts, low-fat spreads, wholemeal bread and food made of grains.
Concerns about processed foods have been growing but it is unclear if there is something uniquely bad about them or if they just tend to be higher in things like fat and sugar. The issue has come into focus this year since Chris van Tulleken, a doctor and TV presenter, published a book called Ultra-Processed People: Why do we all eat stuff that isn’ t food... and why can’t we stop Chris van Tulleken has called for more countries to adopt dietary guidelines pioneered in Brazil, where people are advised to prioritise eating whole foods and homemade meals, and avoid eating factory-made foods.
On 27 September, researchers from nutrition organisations rejected the proposed system. “We absolutely need foods to be processed so that we can feed the world,” said May at the University of Leeds, UK, who is a member of the British Nutrition Foundation. May also said UPF includes products that are both healthy and unhealthy. “It’s important we don’t throw the baby out with the bath water here. There are many components that have a very important role to play in nutrition and in safety,” he said.
Benefits of food processing include the use of preservatives that make food last longest and artificial sweeteners that help people reduce their sugar intake, said May. Other examples of processed foods that can be beneficial include baby food, infant formula milk and breads with added vitamins and minerals, said the panel.
8. What can be known from paragraph 1
A. Low-fat spreads are ultra-processed food.
B. Wholemeal bread is unhealthy to us.
C. Ultra-processed food doesn’t contain sugar.
D. The nutritional value of food needs to be precisely recorded.
9. What does Chris van Tulleken suggest people do
A. They should avoid ultra-processed food. B. They should not have homemade food.
C. They should consume more Brazilian food. D. They should read more books on healthy food.
10. What does May imply by saying the underlined sentence in paragraph 3
A. Kids should raise their awareness of food safety.
B. Children are the biggest victims of ultra-processed food.
C. Ultra-processed food does cause more damage to children.
D. Ultra-processed food has both advantages and disadvantages.
11. What can be the best title for the text
A. How Ultra-processed Food Benefits People
B. Ultra-processed Food Isn’t Always Unhealthy
C. A Popular Book Brings Focus on Ultra-processed Food
D. What Health Risks Ultra-processed Food Brings to People
D
Called ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC), the idea is to use surface water warmed by the sun to heat a fluid such as ammonia or water, which then runs a heat engine to produce energy, just like a power plant driven by steam. Cold water from deeper layers of the ocean would then be piped up to cool the fluid and repeat the cycle. Theoretically, oceans could provide vast amounts of electricity like this. Researchers have estimated that there is enough ocean heat to supply 7,000 gigawatt s a year without affecting ocean circulation, enough to supply the world’s electricity demand— if we can access it.
The idea was first put forward in 1881, but went largely unexplored until the 1970s oil. crisis drove a search for new sources of energy. In the years since, demonstration projects have been built, but progress has been “disappointing”, says AI Binger at SIDS DOCK, an organisation that promotes clean energy development in small island countries. In recent years, a fresh urgency to transition away from fossil fuels has brought a suggestion of an OTEC return. “It’s the most promising it’s been in many decades,” says Andrea Copping at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Washington state.
Tropical (热带的) islands are good candidates for OTEC because of their high energy costs— diesel (柴油) generators are common there—and the presence of deep cold water not far from shore, says James Van Zwieten at Florida Atlantic University. Islands also have less space for other types of renewables. A barrier for past projects was the cost of fixing kilometres of large pipes to reach deep water. Global OTEC aims to avoid that by extending a shorter pipe from a platform floating in deep water 10 kilometres offshore, then transmitting electricity back via a cable (电缆), and making use of advances made in offshore wind technology.
“OTEC will be part of providing a reasonable energy transition so these places aren’t depending on diesel imports from the richest petrol states in the world,” says Dan Grech, Global OTEC’s CEO.
12. What can we learn about OTEC technology from paragraph 1
A. It mainly uses offshore wind to generate electricity.
B. It has been widely applied to the oceans all over the world.
C. It can clean the water in the deeper layers of the ocean.
D. It depends strongly on the temperature difference in the ocean.
13. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A. The advantages of OTEC. B. The development of OTEC.
C. Successful projects of OTEC. D. Different opinions on OTEC.
14. What difficulty did the past projects have with OTEC on islands
A. Lacking technology for generating electricity.
B. Being far away from the shore.
C. Enormous investment in the pipe equipment.
D. Great demand for the space.
15. What is Dan Grech’s attitude towards OTEC
A. Opposed. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Uncaring.

Four Useful Ways to Stop Comparing Yourself to Others
Don’t compare your life to everyone else’s highlight reel (高光时刻). Are you ready for my most shocking observation yet ____16____. It’s usually not the complete picture of someone’s life—it’s just the highlight reel. We’re spending all this money and emotional energy just to keep up with a life we think everyone else is living and we’re missing out on what’s happening right in front of us. And that is ruining not only our mental health, but our financial security as well.
____17____ You can be modest and still recognize your strengths, talents and accomplishments. You don’t have to beat yourself up to be modest. In fact, that’s a pretty unhealthy approach, and it’s one of the biggest dangers of comparison living. The more we compare ourselves to others, the worse we feel about ourselves. That’s a dangerous trap we’ve got to avoid. Try writing down three things you really like about yourself—things you can identify as strengths. Don’t just write “good people skills” like what you’d put on a boring resume. ____18____!
Have boundaries around how much time you spend on social media. Don’t follow any accounts that tend to make you feel bad about yourself. Set a timer and allow yourself to scroll (滚屏) for 30 minutes. ____19____. Don’t feel forced to reply to every comment and message nobody got time for that.
Learn to compete with yourself instead of others. Instead of focusing on where you are compared to others, focus on your own goals. Where are you compared to where you were at this time last year In the past year, you’ve learned, stretched, improved, accomplished and created. ____20____! If you’ve kept journals, go back through them. If you haven’t, there’s no better time to start journaling than today.
A. Make them personal
B. Focus on your strengths
C. Love your imperfections
D. Social media doesn’t always reflect reality
E. When time is up, step away from social media
F. It has been suggested to restrict it to only one hour a day
G. Think about how much of that you’ve done in your lifetime

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。
At one table by the window, a lady just finished up her lunch. It wasn’t anything fancy, just a sandwich and some salad, with a cup of tea to wash them all down. She seemed to be in her own little world, staring out the window every now and then, like she was waiting for something. After a bit, she got up, paid for her meal at the counter, and left.
Her table was still a mess, with bits of her meal left behind. It wasn’t a big deal—this happens all the time. But today, something different was going to happen. A young boy, who looked like he’d had a pretty rough time, had been watching her and the table from around the corner.
This kid was in bad shape. His clothes were too big and looked like they’d seen better days. His hair was all over the place, and there was dirt on his face. He had that look of someone who hadn’t had a good meal for way too long. When the lady left, he saw his chance. He quickly sat down and started scarfing down (狼吞虎咽) the leftovers like they were the best meal he’d ever had.
But then, the waiter walked over. He was an older guy who’d probably seen everything. He didn’t say anything at first, just watching the kid for a second. The boy got scared and stopped eating, and tears started to well up in his eyes. He thought the waiter would kick him out for sure. Instead, the waiter took away the half-eaten plate, and the boy’s heart sank. The boy got up to leave.
注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
But before he could get far, the waiter came back.
