We had always lived in a small city, in the house my dad bought from my grandparents. But he wanted fresh air, healthy food and lots of room for his children to play. Hed worked multiple jobs at a time and saved for many years.and could finally afford a place in the countryside. Now a minor concern: the house had no running water or electricity. But there were 150 acres to run around in, walk through the woods in, swim a stream in, and otherwise yell, sing and laugh in every day!That first year my dad put in electricity, because my mom simply announced, “I wont have kerosene lamps with children running around!” Indoor plumbing had to wait another year(an outhouse came with the property). Different friends, who my dad knew from work, asked if hed take their large dogs who couldnt run free in the city. So we all now played with a big orange-brown boxer and a sporty German Shorthaired Pointer, who we simply named Billy and Molly. Absolutely all our clothes were hand-me-downs, bananas and oranges were “exotic” fruit that wed see at holidays, and there was ONE birthday party a year! Wed take turns once every 10 years a child would have his/her own party!We thought we were rich. My mother was always singing, yelling hugging, or praying. And she told us we were blessed with plenty! To this day, each of my brothers and sisters remember those years as an abundance of chores, laughter, arguing, making peace, and playing together! Every challenge was a game aimed to outwit, and any failure was chance to learn. Money was so scarce, but joy was everywhere.24. Why did the authors family move to a farm?A.

A bunch of businessmen are not only optimistic but are working to make this happen sooner than you may think.The environmental effects caused by meat consumption(食用)waste, animal treatment, health problems and even the greenhouse gas effects that are potentially caused by methane gas produced by cows have given rise to a number of startups(新兴公司) looking to develop meats in different ways.For example, San Francisco-based Memphis Meats is developing cell-based meats in its labs without requiring any animals. Israels Future Meat Technologies is doing the same by producing fat and muscle cells that are being tested by chefs in Jerusalem. All of these companies use special processes to harvest cells from animals and grow them in a lab.But dont worry if youre not a meat lover. Startups such as Jet Eat, which is also based in Israel, are working on food products grown in labs that are plant-based and replicate(复制) meats using natural elements while still keeping flavor, consistency and the “overall sensory experience”, according to a report on NoCamels. Jet Eat, which was founded in early 2018, aims to 3D-print their lab-grown products by 2020.As you can imagine, there are plenty of barriers facing the industry. Educating the public is a big one. Another controversial issue is the labeling of the products. Recently both the USDA and the Food and Drug Administration(FDA) announced that they will begin jointly controlling the new “cell-based meat” category.Many of us have concerns about the challenges facing future generations as our global population increases and the earths natural resources decreases. The good news is that there are plenty of businessmen around the worldlike those producing lab-grown meatswho are working to solve some of these problems and make a little money in the process. Nothing wrong with that.28. Why do some companies begin to develop new kinds of meats?A. To analyse the causes of air pollution.B. To stress the importance of protecting wild animals.C.

How to let people accept the meat.B. How to give the meat an elegant name.C. How to produce the meat in large amounts. D. How to reduce the cost of making the meat.31. Whats the authors attitude towards lab-grown meats?A. Supportive.B. Opposing.C. Ambiguous.D. Cautious.DGenealogy, or researching your family tree, is a hobby that can rapidly develop into an obsession. Before you start looking for your own ancestors, read this advice from genealogist Maria McLeod.The first question to ask yourself is why you want to research your family tree. Genealogy is not about discovering that you are the lost prince or princess of an unknown kingdom. Its about finding more about yourself. For most people the important question is “Why am I like I am?” You might not look like other members of your immediate family and you want to know where your green eyes or curly hair come from. You may be curious about why you have such a quick temper. You may even be suffering from a medical condition and want to know if something in your genetic makeup has caused it.Another common motivation for researching your family tree is that you plan to visit the place that your ancestors came from and you secretly hope that you will find some long lost cousins with whom you can share your memories. There can be few more exciting things than meeting a distant cousin who is living on the other side of the globe and finding that she looks just like your younger sister. But you should also bear in mind that they may not necessarily want to have anything to do with you. Sometimes there are skeletons in the cupboard that you and your branch of the family are unaware of, but which are still fresh in the minds of your more distant relatives.Once you are clear about your motivations, you need to take a moment to think about just how many ancestors you might have and how far back you intend to go. You have, no doubt, thought about your parents parents and your parents parents parents. But go back ten generations and the picture becomes much more complicated. You can work it out for yourself. You may be descended(遗传) from no fewer than 1,024 people through ten generations. This can mean that you spend hours going through official records, either in person at the records office or on the Internet. Are you prepared for such a huge task?32. What might be Maria Mcleods first piece of advice be?A. Be prepared to accept your bad temper.B. Dont expect to find lovely relatives.C. Be prepared to find out your hidden health problems.D. Dont expect to find out you are a member of a royal family.33. Why are some relatives unwilling to meet you?A. You may bring back bad memories.B. They find it disturbing to entertain you.C. They suspect you of having wrong motives.D. You could remind them of their lost loved ones.34. What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?A. Who your great grandparents are.B. When you can finish your huge task.C. Why researching a family tree is complex.D. How many people you are descended from.35. What is the best title for the text?A. Uncovering family secrets: do you dare?B. The science of genealogy: new developmentsC. Expert opinions on researching your family pastD. A step-by-step guide to researching your family tree第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Sometimes meeting friends can be confusing, especially when you suddenly find yourself in a new city or for whatever reason totally without friends. 36 If youre stumped for where and how to meet new people, this list of suggestions is sure to inspire you. 37 Perhaps the best way to meet new friends is when youre getting outside your comfort zone and doing something new.

First of all, youll be meeting new people you probably would never have
