Four of the best films to watch in this winter
The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes
It’s prequel time again. Based on the dystopian YA (Young Adult Fiction) by Suzanne Collins, the prequel is set 64 years before the previous Hunger Games films. Donald Sutherland’s character, Coriolanus Snow, is now a teenager played by Tom Blyth, and Rachel Zegler is the woman he has to train for the Capitol’s 10th annual death match.
Released internationally from 15 November.
The Marvels
Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel returns to save the planet from evil aliens, but her job is made considerably harder this time by a cosmic (宇宙的) fault that links her to two other super heroines. Every ne she uses her powers, she swaps places with cither Photon (Teyonah Parris) or Ms Marvel (lman llani). “The worlds we go to in this movie are worlds unlike others you’ve seen in the MCU. Brigh worlds that you haven’t seen before,” the Director Nia DaCosta told Total film.

Napoleon
Ridley Scott’s 28th film is a biography of Napoleon Bonaparte, with Joaquin Phoenix as the French general, and Vanessa Kirby as his wife Josephine. It’s reported to be three hours long, with six major battle of sequences — although it’s as much a character-driven drama as it is a war movie.
On general release from 22 November.
Wish
Walt Disney celebrates its 100th anniversary with a cartoon that includes the themes and animation styles of the studio’s first century. Directed by Chris Buck (co-director of Frozen) and Fawn Vecrasunthom, Wish is a musical fairy tale set in a magical land where King Magnifico (Chris Pinc) can carry out his citizens’ wishes. But a 17-ycar-old girl, Asha (Ariana DeBose), questions whether the king should keep that power all to himself. She wishes on a star and the star then falls from the sky to help her. Buck told Jackson Murphy at Animation Scoop that the film is “kind of our love letter to Disney, to Walt. ”

I was born in a poor community on the north side of Boston, US, raised by a single mother who didn’t finish 3rd grade, lived each day on food stamps and attended what the media called “the most dysfunctional (功能失调的) public school district”. Not many people expected much of me, so I had to expect.
On my 13th birthday, I bought a poster of Harvard to hang in my room. Being at Harvard became what I dreamt about. Even if my electricity was cut off, I still woke up at 5:30, because I knew that my poster of Harvard was still hanging only two feet away from me.
Reminding myself of my goal each day made it easy to say no to the same choices I saw my peers making, because those paths wouldn’t have had me closer to my goal. Being poor could not take away my power to decide what I choose to do with my day. The poster gave me the courage to send emails to about 50 Harvard students to ask for feedback on my application essays; it gave me the energy to study just one more hour on my SATs when my friends were asleep; and it gave me the determination to submit just one more scholarship application when 180 others had already turned me down.
Every day, I could feel myself getting closer and closer to my goal as my writing got better, my SAT score increased, and my scholarship checks started coming in. Finally, an email arrived from Harvard. The first word was “Congratulations!” A month later, Harvard flew me up to visit the campus where for the first time I stepped onto my dreaming land.
Who you are today is the result of the decisions you made yesterday, and who you will be tomorrow will be the result of the choices you make today. Who do you want to be tomorrow

As the latest crop of students pen their undergraduate application form and weigh up their options, it may be worth considering just now the point, purpose and value of a degree has changed and what Generation Z need to consider as they start the third stage of their educational journey.
Millennials were told that if you did well in school, got a decent degree, you would be set up for life. But that promise has been found wanting. As degrees became universal, they became devalued. Education was no longer a secure route of social mobility. Today, 28 percent of graduates in the UK are in non- graduate roles, a percentage which is double the average among OECD countries.
This is not to say that there is no point in getting a degree, but rather stress that a degree is not for everyone, that the switch from classroom to lecture hall is not an inevitable one and that other options are available.
Thankfully, there are signs that this is already happening, with Generation Z seeking to learn from their millennial predecessors (前辈), even if parents and teachers tend to be still set in the degree mindset. Employers have long seen the advantages of hiring school leavers who often prove themselves to be more committed and loyal employees than graduates. Many too are seeing the advantages of cancelling a degree requirement for certain roles.
Regardless, it is unlikely that Generation Z will be done with education at 18 or 21; they will need to be constantly up-skilling throughout their career to stay employable. It has been estimated that this generation, due to the pressures of technology, the wish for personal fulfillment and desire for diversity, will work for 17 different employers over the course of their working life and have five different careers. Education, and not just knowledge gained on campus, will be a core part of Generation Z’s career trajectory (轨道).
Older generations often talk about their degree in the present and personal tense: “I am a geographer” or “I am a classist”. Their sons or daughters would never say such a thing; it’s as if they already know that their degree won’t define them in the same way.
28. The percentage of UK graduates in non-graduate roles reflect __________.
A. the deceasing value of a degree B. Millennial’s opinions about work
C. the desired route of social mobility D. public dissatisfaction with education
29. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 4 mean
A. The employers’ preference for high school leavers.
B. A change in parents’ attitudes towards college education.
C. A wider variety of choices besides pursuing a degree.
D. More emphasis put on lecture hall rather than classroom.
30. What can be concluded about generation Z from the last two paragraphs
A. They will have a limited choice of jobs.
B. Education will no longer be a core part in their life.
C. They will focus more on personal accomplishment.
D. Lifelong learning will determine what they are.
D
The Impossible Burger is entirely free of meat. But it looks smells, feels and-most importantly-tastes so much like real hamburger beef. In fact, plant-based burger alternatives have set off a strong resistance from the beef industry. The Center for Consumer Freedom, a nonprofit that advocates on behalf of the fast food and meat industries has launched an "informational" campaign targeting plant-based meats. The campaign has included TV and online ads, as well as print ads in newspapers. The ads seem to imply that not only is an artificial burger too processed, but that it might be even less healthy than the average beef burger.
While it's true that a plant-based meat alternative is processed and it's true that eating one is not as healthy as a pile of raw vegetables, it's best to take the ads with a generous pinch of salt.
For instance, the additives and preservatives in plant-based meat highlighted in one ad sure sound scary. Who wants something called titanium dioxide(二氧化钛)in their meal But the truth is that additives such as those listed in the ads are regularly used in all sorts of packaged foods. And if methylcellulose, a food thickener, sounds unpleasant, it's really nothing compared with salmonella(沙门菌)poisoning you can get from regular meat.
Also, the ad campaign misses the bigger point. Choosing an Impossible or Beyond burger isn't just about healthy eating Burgers, whether they are made from processed pea protein or processed meat, will never be as healthy as organic raw vegetables.
What's appealing is the prospect or enjoying a juicy burger without the bitter aftertaste of guilt.
Let's face it, there are huge environmental costs to eating cows. Cattle raising is contributing to climate. change, and not just because methane(甲烷)from cows and cattle is responsible for about 14.5% of greenhouse gas. More broadly, our global food production system releases more than a third of the world's greenhouse gases. Yet we can't seem to control our meat appetite even knowing that large areas of the Amazon forest have been ruined, and continue to be cut down to make room for more cattle to feed the growing demand for beef. Humans also know full well that many animals live short, cruel lives in awful conditions for the purpose of becoming foods for humans to enjoy at dinner.
A plant-based meat that satisfies meat desires and delivers protein but with a smaller climate footprint is a potential environmental game changer and the reason Impossible Foods was one of those receiving the UN, Global Climate Action Award in 2019. No wonder the meat industry is on guard.
31. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 most probably mean
A. These ads deserve little consideration.
B. We should spread the message of these ads.
C. These ads tell people a lot about plant-based burgers.
D. We'd better be cautious when reading these ads
32. What do we know about additives and preservatives in plant-based burgers
A. Their use is within the normal range.
B They are likely to cause poisoning.
C. They are used to ensure burgers taste good
D. Some have not been used in hamburgers.
33. What is the author's attitude/towards plant-based burgers
A. Doubtful B. Supportive C. Disapproving. D. Neutral
34. Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage
I: Introduction P: Point Sp: Sub-point(次要点) C: Conclusion
A. B.
C. D.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Adaptations are currently popular in the movie industry. ____35____ But what about book adaptations of films Book adaptations of films aren’t that common, but it’s a medium that certainly takes skills to master.
The most well-known version of a film being adapted to books is via the novelization. Movie novelizations went through a boom period before the internet era. Fans wanted to know more about the fictional worlds and experience the story again in a new way. ____36____ Thus, the novelization was a great solution.
Meanwhile, the screen to page process has also opened up the possibility of sequels (续篇). Perhaps there simply wasn’t financial investment to create a follow-up to a film. Maybe a sequel idea simply felt more appropriate for a novel. ____37____ In recent years, for example, the film Heat, released in 1995 has received its own novel. ET: The Book of the Green Planet continued the extra-terrestrial’s journey after the completion of the film’s narrative.
But what are the benefits of reading a novel instead of waiting for the big screen version Well, a novel can take its reader deeper into the mind of the characters that the film had to represent in a more visual way. ____38____ Although a film might characterize a fantastic scene or a specific costume choice, it doesn’t always tell why those things are important. Novelizations and sequels can take that extra step and shine a light on some of those movie-making choices.
Book adaptations of films obviously won’t ever replace cinema, and there’s no need to choose one or the other. _____39_____
A. Besides, descriptions can be more detailed too.
B. For a time, they were everything for cinema lovers.
C. We’re all familiar with film adaptations of books.
D. Films being adapted to books has been talked repeatedly.
E. Regardless, some terrific films have been expanded upon thanks to this medium.
F. But they couldn’t simply google it, or immediately purchase the production on tape.
G. Actually, these two mediums are considerably interdependent and complementary.

第一节（共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分）
阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
You are watching your favorite TV show when a commercial break starts. First you see an ad for candy. Then there is one for fast food. Your stomach growls. Suddenly, all you can think about is how much you need a snack.
If that sounds familiar, you are not alone. Researchers from McMaster University in Canada studied the effects of junk food ad. The researchers examined the effects of advertising junk food on more than 6000 kids through TV commercials and other types of media. They found that kids made unhealthy food and drink choices as quickly as 30 minutes after seeing the ads.
Food and drink ads are everywhere from TV to the panies want to make sure you know about their products. They spend nearly 1. 8 billion a year on food ads aimed at kids according to a report.
The Nielsen Company tracked the number of food ads that kids saw in 2015. It found that kids watched nearly 12 food ads on TV each day. Most of these ads weren’t for healthy foods. In fact, on average. kids saw only one ad per week for fruits and vegetables. Instead, most of the ads were for fast food, candy and sugary drinks.
Jennifer Harris, a professor at the University of Connecticut, says this is a big part of the problem. “Unhealthy foods are not things we should be encouraging kids to cat more often”. Harris says. “But unfortunately those are the products being advertised to them the most”.
Health experts say it’s OK to treat yourself to a cookie once in a while. But what can you do to keep from having an unhealthy snack every time you see an ad for junk food Harris says it’s important to learn to spot the techniques companies use in their ads, tell their kids what is going on and help kids think about whether these products are good for them.
40. What did researchers from MaMaster University find
_____________________________________________________________________
41 What conclusion can you draw from the findings of Nielsen Company
_____________________________________________________________________
42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
To avoid negative impacts of advertisements for unhealthy food, parents should keep their kids from watching these kinds of advertisements.
_____________________________________________________________________
43. Please briefly describe what you can do to reduce the negative impact of advertising on your life. (In about 40 words)

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了如今无尽的选择在人们的生活中产生了焦虑，人们购买了许多不需要的商品。
【18题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：购买像咖啡壶这样基本的东西并不简单。分析句子结构可知，be作本句谓语，根据前文的gives可知，用一般现在时，主语是Buying something，动名词作主语，为第三人称单数。故填is。
【19题详解】
考查介词。句意：方便地接触到各种各样的日常用品会让很多人产生一种无力感，最终导致购物者放弃，或者只是买了一件并不真正想要的不合适的商品。此处是固定搭配：access to意为“接近”。故填to。
【20题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：在过去的两年里，中国消费者协会进行了多次调查，结果表明，几乎每个家庭购买的许多电子产品都不是真正需要的。分析句子结构可知，空处引导定语从句，先行词是studies，在从句中作定语修饰findings，用whose引导。故填whose。

It’s prequel time again. Based on the dystopian YA (Young Adult Fiction) by Suzanne Collins, the prequel is set 64 years before the previous Hunger Games films. Donald Sutherland’s character, Coriolanus Snow, is now a teenager played by Tom Blyth, and Rachel Zegler is the woman he has to train for the Capitol’s 10th annual death match.
Released internationally from 15 November.
The Marvels
Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel returns to save the planet from evil aliens, but her job is made considerably harder this time by a cosmic (宇宙的) fault that links her to two other super heroines. Every ne she uses her powers, she swaps places with cither Photon (Teyonah Parris) or Ms Marvel (lman llani). “The worlds we go to in this movie are worlds unlike others you’ve seen in the MCU.

Napoleon
Ridley Scott’s 28th film is a biography of Napoleon Bonaparte, with Joaquin Phoenix as the French general, and Vanessa Kirby as his wife Josephine. It’s reported to be three hours long, with six major battle of sequences — although it’s as much a character-driven drama as it is a war movie.
On general release from 22 November.
Wish
Walt Disney celebrates its 100th anniversary with a cartoon that includes the themes and animation styles of the studio’s first century. Directed by Chris Buck (co-director of Frozen) and Fawn Vecrasunthom, Wish is a musical fairy tale set in a magical land where King Magnifico (Chris Pinc) can carry out his citizens’ wishes. But a 17-ycar-old girl, Asha (Ariana DeBose), questions whether the king should keep that power all to himself. She wishes on a star and the star then falls from the sky to help her.

I was born in a poor community on the north side of Boston, US, raised by a single mother who didn’t finish 3rd grade, lived each day on food stamps and attended what the media called “the most dysfunctional (功能失调的) public school district”. Not many people expected much of me, so I had to expect.
On my 13th birthday, I bought a poster of Harvard to hang in my room. Being at Harvard became what I dreamt about. Even if my electricity was cut off, I still woke up at 5:30, because I knew that my poster of Harvard was still hanging only two feet away from me.
Reminding myself of my goal each day made it easy to say no to the same choices I saw my peers making, because those paths wouldn’t have had me closer to my goal. Being poor could not take away my power to decide what I choose to do with my day. The poster gave me the courage to send emails to about 50 Harvard students to ask for feedback on my application essays; it gave me the energy to study just one more hour on my SATs when my friends were asleep; and it gave me the determination to submit just one more scholarship application when 180 others had already turned me down.
Every day, I could feel myself getting closer and closer to my goal as my writing got better, my SAT score increased, and my scholarship checks started coming in. Finally, an email arrived from Harvard. The first word was “Congratulations!” A month later, Harvard flew me up to visit the campus where for the first time I stepped onto my dreaming land.
Who you are today is the result of the decisions you made yesterday, and who you will be tomorrow will be the result of the choices you make today. Who do you want to be tomorrow

(这张海报给了我勇气，让我给大约50名哈佛学生发邮件，征求他们对我申请论文的反馈意见；它给了我精力，让我在朋友们睡着的时候，在SAT考试中多学习一个小时；它给了我决心，在其他180人已经拒绝我的申请时，再提交一份奖学金申请。)”可知，作者为了实现梦想努力刻苦，意志坚决，故选C。

As the latest crop of students pen their undergraduate application form and weigh up their options, it may be worth considering just now the point, purpose and value of a degree has changed and what Generation Z need to consider as they start the third stage of their educational journey.
Millennials were told that if you did well in school, got a decent degree, you would be set up for life. But that promise has been found wanting. As degrees became universal, they became devalued. Education was no longer a secure route of social mobility. Today, 28 percent of graduates in the UK are in non- graduate roles, a percentage which is double the average among OECD countries.
This is not to say that there is no point in getting a degree, but rather stress that a degree is not for everyone, that the switch from classroom to lecture hall is not an inevitable one and that other options are available.
Thankfully, there are signs that this is already happening, with Generation Z seeking to learn from their millennial predecessors (前辈), even if parents and teachers tend to be still set in the degree mindset. Employers have long seen the advantages of hiring school leavers who often prove themselves to be more committed and loyal employees than graduates. Many too are seeing the advantages of cancelling a degree requirement for certain roles.
Regardless it is unlikely that Generation Z will be done with education at 18 or 21; they will need to be constantly up-skilling throughout their career to stay employable. It has been estimated that this generation, due to the pressures of technology, the wish for personal fulfillment and desire for diversity, will work for 17 different employers over the course of their working life and have five different careers. Education, and not just knowledge gained on campus, will be a core part of Generation Z’s career trajectory (轨道).
Older generations often talk about their degree in the present and personal tense: “I am a geographer” or “I am a classist”. Their sons or daughters would never say such a thing; it’s as if they already know that their degree won’t define them in the same way.
28. The percentage of UK graduates in non-graduate roles reflect __________.
A. the deceasing value of a degree B. Millennial’s opinions about work
C. the desired route of social mobility D. public dissatisfaction with education
29. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 4 mean
A. The employers’ preference for high school leavers.
B. A change in parents’ attitudes towards college education.
C. A wider variety of choices besides pursuing a degree.
D. More emphasis put on lecture hall rather than classroom.
30. What can be concluded about generation Z from the last two paragraphs
A. They will have a limited choice of jobs.
B. Education will no longer be a core part in their life.
C. They will focus more on personal accomplishment.
D. Lifelong learning will determine what they are.
【答案】28. A 29. C 30. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了Z一代认为学位并不适合每个人，从教室到演讲厅的转换并不是必然的，还有其他的选择。他们将需要在整个职业生涯中不断提高技能，以保持受雇的资格。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“But that promise has been found wanting. As degrees became universal, they became devalued. Education was no longer a secure route of social mobility. Today, 28 percent of graduates in the UK are in non- graduate roles, a percentage which is double the average among OECD countries.(但人们发现这一承诺并不理想。随着学位变得普遍，它们就贬值了。教育不再是社会流动的安全途径。如今，英国有28%的大学毕业生从事非大学毕业生的工作，这一比例是经合组织(OECD)国家平均水平的两倍)”和文章第三段“This is not to say that there is no point in getting a degree, but rather stress that a degree is not for everyone, that the switch from classroom to lecture hall is not an inevitable one and that other options are available.(这并不是说获得学位没有意义，而是强调学位并不适合每个人，从教室到演讲厅的转换并不是必然的，还有其他的选择)”可知，英国毕业生担任非毕业生职位的比例，反映出学位价值的缩水。故选A。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第三段“This is not to say that there is no point in getting a degree, but rather stress that a degree is not for everyone, that the switch from classroom to lecture hall is not an inevitable one and that other options are available.(这并不是说获得学位没有意义，而是强调学位并不适合每个人，从教室到演讲厅的转换并不是必然的，还有其他的选择)”并结合划线词所在句句意“Thankfully, there are signs that this is already happening, with Generation Z seeking to learn from their millennial predecessors (前辈), even if parents and teachers tend to be still set in the degree mindset.(值得庆幸的是，有迹象表明这种情况已经发生了，Z一代正寻求向千禧一代的前辈学习，尽管家长和老师仍倾向于固守学位观念。)”可知，划线词this指代上文中提到的“除了攻读学位，还有更多的选择”。故选C。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“Regardless, it is unlikely that Generation Z will be done with education at 18 or 21; they will need to be constantly up-skilling throughout their career to stay employable.(无论如何，Z一代不太可能在18岁或21岁时就结束教育；他们需要在整个职业生涯中不断提高技能，以保持就业能力)”、“Education, and not just knowledge gained on campus, will be a core part of Generation Z’s career trajectory (轨道).(教育，而不仅仅是在校园里获得的知识，将成为Z一代职业轨迹的核心部分)”和最后一段中“it’s as if they already know that their degree won’t define them in the same way(就好像他们已经知道，他们的学位不会以同样的方式定义他们)”可推知，终生学习将决定Z一代的未来是什么样。故选D。
D
The Impossible Burger is entirely free of meat. But it looks, smells, feels and-most importantly-tastes so much like real hamburger beef. In fact, plant-based burger alternatives have set off a strong resistance from the beef industry. The Center for Consumer Freedom, a nonprofit that advocates on behalf of the fast food and meat industries has launched an "informational" campaign targeting plant-based meats. The campaign has included TV and online ads, as well as print ads in newspapers. The ads seem to imply that not only is an artificial burger too processed, but that it might be even less healthy than the average beef burger.
While it's true that a plant-based meat alternative is processed and it's true that eating one is not as healthy as a pile of raw vegetables, it's best to take the ads with a generous pinch of salt.
For instance, the additives and preservatives in plant-based meat highlighted in one ad sure sound scary. Who wants something called titanium dioxide(二氧化钛)in their meal But the truth is that additives such as those listed in the ads are regularly used in all sorts of packaged foods. And if methylcellulose, a food thickener, sounds unpleasant, it's really nothing compared with salmonella(沙门菌)poisoning you can get from regular meat.
Also, the ad campaign misses the bigger point. Choosing an Impossible or Beyond burger isn't just about healthy eating Burgers, whether they are made from processed pea protein or processed meat, will never be as healthy as organic raw vegetables.
What's appealing is the prospect or enjoying a juicy burger without the bitter aftertaste of guilt.
Let's face it, there are huge environmental costs to eating cows. Cattle raising is contributing to climate. change, and not just because methane(甲烷)from cows and cattle is responsible for about 14.5% of greenhouse gas. More broadly, our global food production system releases more than a third of the world's greenhouse gases. Yet we can't seem to control our meat appetite even knowing that large areas of the Amazon forest have been ruined, and continue to be cut down to make room for more cattle to feed the growing demand for beef. Humans also know full well that many animals live short, cruel lives in awful conditions for the purpose of becoming foods for humans to enjoy at dinner.
A plant-based meat that satisfies meat desires and delivers protein but with a smaller climate footprint is a potential environmental game changer and the reason Impossible Foods was one of those receiving the UN, Global Climate Action Award in 2019. No wonder the meat industry is on guard.
31. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 most probably mean
A. These ads deserve little consideration.
B. We should spread the message of these ads.
C. These ads tell people a lot about plant-based burgers.
D We'd better be cautious when reading these ads
32. What do we know about additives and preservatives in plant-based burgers
A. Their use is within the normal range.
B. They are likely to cause poisoning.
C. They are used to ensure burgers taste good
D. Some have not been used in hamburgers.
33. What is the author's attitude/towards plant-based burgers
A. Doubtful B. Supportive C. Disapproving. D. Neutral
34. Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage
I: Introduction P: Point Sp: Sub-point(次要点) C: Conclusion
A. B.
C. D.
【答案】31. D 32. A 33. B 34. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。针对植物性汉堡的出现，牛肉行业强烈抵制并列举了植物性汉堡诸多问题；但作者认为植物性汉堡既能满足肉类需求，又能提供蛋白质，且气候足迹（对气候的影响）更小，是一种潜在的环境改变者。
【31题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中“For instance, the additives and preservatives in plant-based meat highlighted in one ad sure sound scary.”（例如，在一则广告中强调的植物性肉类中的添加剂和防腐剂听起来的确令人害怕。）和“But the truth is that additives such as those listed in the ads are regularly used in all sorts of packaged foods.”（但事实是，广告中列出的添加剂经常被用于各种包装食品中。）可知，广告中列出的添加剂其在他各种包装的食品中也有，因此可以推测划线词句“it's best to take the ads with a generous pinch of salt.”意为“这些广告并不完全可信，当看这些广告时，最好谨慎些”。故选D项。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“But the truth is that additives such as those listed in the ads are regularly used in all sorts of packaged foods. And if methylcellulose, a food thickener, sounds unpleasant, it's really nothing compared with salmonella(沙门菌)poisoning you can get from regular meat.”（但事实是，广告中列出的添加剂经常被用于各种包装食品中。如果甲基纤维素，一种食物增稠剂，听起来令人不舒服，那它和你从普通肉类中得到的沙门氏菌中毒相比真的是微不足道的。）可知，植物性汉堡中的添加剂和防腐剂的使用在正常范围内。故选A项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“A plant-based meat that satisfies meat desires and delivers protein but with a smaller climate footprint is a potential environmental game changer and the reason Impossible Foods was one of those receiving the UN, Global Climate Action Award in 2019.”（一种以植物为基础的肉类，既能满足人们对肉类的需求，又能提供蛋白质，但气候足迹较小（影响气候较少），这是一种潜在的环境游戏改变者，也是“不可能食品（人造肉食品）”在2019年获得联合国全球气候行动奖的原因之一。）可知，作者对植物汉堡是支持的。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。第一段第一句“The Impossible Burger is entirely free of meat. But it looks, smells, feels and-most importantly-tastes so much like real hamburger beef.”（素食汉堡是完全没有肉的。但是它的外观、气味、感觉和味道——最重要的是——都非常像真正的汉堡牛肉。）引出文章的主题，介绍“植物性汉堡”；接下来“In fact, plant-based burger alternatives have set off a strong resistance from the beef industry…The ads seem to imply that not only is an artificial burger too processed, but that it might be even less healthy than the average beef burger.”（事实上，以植物为基础的汉堡替代品已经引起了牛肉行业的强烈抵制……这些广告似乎暗示，人造汉堡不仅加工过度，而且可能比普通牛肉汉堡更不健康。）提出有人反对植物性汉堡的观点；第二段中“it's best to take the ads with a generous pinch of salt.”提出对那些反对意见的广告要谨慎看待（即支持植物性汉堡）；第三段和第六段是支持的次要点；第四和五段讲它有缺点，即不支持的次要点；最后一段是作者的总结和看法，因此文章中思想的发展结构应该是D项。故选D项。
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Adaptations are currently popular in the movie industry. ____35____ But what about book adaptations of films Book adaptations of films aren’t that common, but it’s a medium that certainly takes skills to master.
The most well-known version of a film being adapted to books is via the novelization. Movie novelizations went through a boom period before the internet era. Fans wanted to know more about the fictional worlds and experience the story again in a new way. ____36____ Thus, the novelization was a great solution.
Meanwhile, the screen to page process has also opened up the possibility of sequels (续篇). Perhaps there simply wasn’t financial investment to create a follow-up to a film. Maybe a sequel idea simply felt more appropriate for a novel. ____37____ In recent years, for example, the film Heat, released in 1995 has received its own novel. ET: The Book of the Green Planet continued the extra-terrestrial’s journey after the completion of the film’s narrative.
But what are the benefits of reading a novel instead of waiting for the big screen version Well, a novel can take its reader deeper into the mind of the characters that the film had to represent in a more visual way. ____38____ Although a film might characterize a fantastic scene or a specific costume choice, it doesn’t always tell why those things are important. Novelizations and sequels can take that extra step and shine a light on some of those movie-making choices.
Book adaptations of films obviously won’t ever replace cinema, and there’s no need to choose one or the other. _____39_____
A. Besides, descriptions can be more detailed too.
B. For a time, they were everything for cinema lovers.
C. We’re all familiar with film adaptations of books.
D. Films being adapted to books has been talked repeatedly.
E. Regardless, some terrific films have been expanded upon thanks to this medium.
F. But they couldn’t simply google it, or immediately purchase the production on tape.
G. Actually, these two mediums are considerably interdependent and complementary.
【答案】35. C 36. F 37. E 38. A 39. G

阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
You are watching your favorite TV show when a commercial break starts. First you see an ad for candy. Then there is one for fast food. Your stomach growls. Suddenly, all you can think about is how much you need a snack.
If that sounds familiar, you are not alone. Researchers from McMaster University in Canada studied the effects of junk food ad. The researchers examined the effects of advertising junk food on more than 6000 kids through TV commercials and other types of media. They found that kids made unhealthy food and drink choices as quickly as 30 minutes after seeing the ads.
Food and drink ads are everywhere from TV to the panies want to make sure you know about their products. They spend nearly 1. 8 billion a year on food ads aimed at kids according to a report.
The Nielsen Company tracked the number of food ads that kids saw in 2015. It found that kids watched nearly 12 food ads on TV each day. Most of these ads weren’t for healthy foods. In fact, on average. kids saw only one ad per week for fruits and vegetables. Instead, most of the ads were for fast food, candy and sugary drinks.
Jennifer Harris, a professor at the University of Connecticut, says this is a big part of the problem. “Unhealthy foods are not things we should be encouraging kids to cat more often”. Harris says. “But unfortunately those are the products being advertised to them the most”.
Health experts say it’s OK to treat yourself to a cookie once in a while. But what can you do to keep from having an unhealthy snack every time you see an ad for junk food Harris says it’s important to learn to spot the techniques companies use in their ads, tell their kids what is going on and help kids think about whether these products are good for them.

【41题详解】
考查细节理解。由第四段“The Nielsen Company tracked the number of food ads that kids saw in 2015. It found that kids watched nearly 12 food ads on TV each day. Most of these ads weren’t for healthy foods. In fact, on average. kids saw only one ad per week for fruits and vegetables. Instead, most of the ads were for fast food, candy and sugary drinks. (尼尔森公司追踪了2015年孩子们看到的食品广告数量。调查发现，孩子们每天在电视上看近12个食品广告。这些广告大多不是针对健康食品的。事实上，平均而言。孩子们每周只看一个水果和蔬菜的广告。相反，大多数广告都是针对快餐、糖果和含糖饮料的)”可知，通过尼尔森公司的调查发现孩子们每天在电视上看近12个食品广告，这些广告中的大多数都不是健康食品，由此推断，很难避免在电视上看到垃圾食品广告。故答案为：It’s hard to avoid seeing junk food ads on TV.
【42题详解】
考查细节理解。题干中“To avoid negative impacts of advertisements for unhealthy food, parents should keep their kids from watching these kinds of advertisements. (为了避免不健康食品广告的负面影响，父母应该让孩子不要看这些广告)”可知，本句表述的是为了避免不健康食物广告带来的影响，父母应该阻止孩子们看这类广告。由最后一段中“Harris says it’s important to learn to spot the techniques companies use in their ads, tell their kids what is going on and help kids think about whether these products are good for them. (哈里斯说，重要的是要学会发现公司在广告中使用的技术，告诉孩子发生了什么，并帮助孩子思考这些产品是否对他们有益)”可知，题干中的“keep their kids from watching these kinds of advertisements (不要让他们的孩子看这种广告)”与原文信息不符，文章表述的是为了避免不健康食物广告带来负面影响，家长们要学会发现公司在广告中使用的技术，告诉他们的孩子正在发生什么，并帮助孩子思考这些产品是否对他们有益。故答案为：To avoid negative impacts of advertisements for unhealthy food, parents should keep their kids from watching these kinds of advertisements. Because according to the passage, to avoid negative impacts for unhealthy food, parents should learn to spot the techniques companies use in their ads, tell their kids what is going on and help kids think about whether these products are good for them.
【43题详解】
考查开放答题。根据题干“Please briefly describe what you can do to reduce the negative impact of advertising on your life. (请简要描述你能做些什么来减少广告对你生活的负面影响)”可知，这是一道开放性试题，结合个人实际以及生活实际，言之有理即可。例如：以批判的心态三思而后行使我较少受到广告的影响。当看到广告时，我总是在想我是否真的需要这个产品。在购买东西之前，我会对产品很了解，而不是盲目购买。故答案为：Thinking twice with a critical mind makes me less affected by advertisements. When seeing an advertisement, I always think about whether I really need this product. Before purchasing something, I will know a product well rather than blindly buy it.
