Yes, his drawing skills are that good!Arinzes interest in art, drawing in particular, was started at a young age, primarily by the fact that he was always surrounded by paper. His family ran a paper company, so he would often kill time by grabbing a piece of paper and trying his hand at drawing. But he only started exploring hyper-realism in 2012, and became a professional artist a year later. He has never taken any professional art classes, and says that the level of detail he is able to produce is only the result of years of practice, Looking at his fantastic artworks, it's safe to say that he has come a long way in very little time.“Ive got a motto I work with and thatsPractice, Patience, and Persistence,” Arinze said. “Constant practice makes me better at what I do but it will not have been possible without persistence and patience, as it takes over 200 hours to complete a drawing and I only have time to work during the night due to my busy schedule at work during the day.”Arinze says that he takes inspiration for his artworks from everything around him and takes reference photos himself using a camera, but focuses primarily on portraits. He acknowledges that he often ends up staring at peoples feces unconsciously, and adds that being a portrait artist has made him appreciate the varieties of human facial structures and details.24. What does the author think of Arinzes works?A. They are contradictory.B. They are controversial.C. They are quite true to life.D. They make the audience less confident.25. What can we know about Arinzes childhood from the text?A. He used to take art classes.B. He had easy access to paper.C. He was interested in paper folding.D. He was able to take amazing photos.26. Where are Arinzes ideas for his drawings from?A. His real life.B. Art books.C. Masters drawings.D. His wild imagination.27. According to the text, Arinze _.A. is still an amateur artistB. draws extremely quicklyC. is born to be detail-focusedD. has progressed quickly in drawingCThere is an “environmental silver lining” as a result of the coronavirus(冠状病毒) carbon emissions have been reduced by more than 4%, many wildlife markets around the world have been shuttered and air quality in some places has slightly improved, Dave Ford, founder of the environmental literacy organization SoulBuffalo, says.But thanks to an increase in pandemic-related, non-recyclable materials such as take-out plastic containers and masks, 30% more waste has entered our oceans, he notes. “Theres 129 billion facemasks being made every month enough that you could cover the entire country of Switzerland with facemasks at the end of this year if trends continue,” he says. “And a lot of these masks are ending up in the water.” The masks look like jellyfish in other words, food to turtles and other wildlife creatures, thus, attractive to those animals and then endangering them, he says.Very little of the plastic we use is actually recyclable. Sharon Lerner of The Intercept told Here & Now last year that “the vast majority of plastic that has ever been produced 79% has actually ended up in landfills or burned, but not refashioned into new products”. Even if the plastics we have can be reused, Ford says recycling programs across the globe are facing drastic budget cuts.“Were starting to see recycling programs shuttered, waste picking communities operating at 50% or actually shutting down. They are the last line of defense between plastic and the environment,” he says.Last year, Unilever planned to cut its use of non-recycled plastics in half by 2025. In an interview with Here & Now, Richard Slater, Unilevers chief research and development officer, drew on the industry argument that plastic packaging is lighter, which means less shipping and therefore fewer dangerous emissions that cause climate change.Yes, plastics are lightweight and can cut down on fuel spending. But on the other hand, plastic waste is being found in every facet of lifeeven in the deepest ocean.28. What does “environmental silver lining” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. An environmental organization.B. The closure of some wildlife markets.C. The decrease of carbon dioxide emissions.D. Benefits on environment from the coronavirus.29. Why are facemasks appealing to some sea creatures?A. They resemble the sea creatures food.B. They contain certain unique chemicals.C. Many sea creatures like to chase plastic by nature.D. There is a continuous shortage of food in the ocean.30. What can we learn about the plastic waste?A. Most of it is recycled into new products.B. The majority of it is buried or burned.C. 129 billion facemasks end up in the ocean.D. There is enough budget for plastic recycling.31. Which of the following might be the best title for the text?A. Plastic can cut down fuel spendingB. Recycling programs are shutting downC. The coronavirus has caused more ocean plasticD. Solutions to ocean plastic pollution are being exploredDPolice recently caught the suspected Golden State Killer using a tool they could only have dreamed of decades ago, when a shocking series of murders shook California: a database filled with peoples genetic data(基因数据).Police used an open-source database called GEDmatch to find relatives who matched genetic material taken from an old crime scene, then worked backward to identify and catch 72-year-old former police officer Joseph James DeAngelo.GEDmatchs 950,000 users voluntarily upload and share their genetic information, making it accessible to others who share their own data including law enforcement(执法). More than a dozen other similar platforms also exist. “If your relatives have contributed and you are part of even a family tree that appears online in one of these shared resources, you can be indirectly tracked through the combination of their DNA and the publicly available family history,” says Dr. Robert Green, a medical geneticist at Harvard Medical School.Data sent to commercial companies like 23andMe, which has over 5 million customers, is much tougher for outsiders to access, but the case has still highlighted the issue of genetic privacy.Although many genetic-testing companies have been asked to cooperate with legal investigations(调查), and clearly warn customers of this possibility, not all requests are honored. “23andMe has never given customer information to law-enforcement officials,” a company representative told TIME.The risks of keeping such sensitive data private are high. The potential for abuse exists; for example, insurance companies could theoretically use genetic data to refuse coverage(保险项目), Green says. But the systems in place to prevent misuse appear to be working. One is the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act, a 2008 law that protects consumers from employment and insurance discrimination related to genetics. As long as thats the case, Green says, the good of genetic tests outweighs the bad.Sharon Zehe, a lawyer for the department of laboratory medicine and pathology at the Mayo Clinic, takes a more cautious approach. “Family tree services can be fun, but make sure you are using a reputable organization that has strong privacy policies in place,” she says. “Genetic data is biologically as important as a fingerprint.”32. Who is the Golden State Killer?A. Robert Green.B. Joseph James De Angelo.C. The author.D. Sharon Zehe.33. What drives the users to upload their genetic data?A. The Polices force.B. Their relatives advice.C. The bosss order.D. Their own willingness.34. Who might misuse customers genetic data?A. The police.B. GEDmatch.C. Insurance companies.D. 23andMe.35. What is the main idea of the text?A. Genetic data is equal to a fingerprint.B. A 72-year-old killer was put into prison.C. Murders causes concern for genetic privacy.D. Genetic information is shared on the Internet.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。How to Grow Organic Tomatoes in a ContainerAnyone who has seen tomatoes growing in a garden knows that they tend to be huge plants. 36 So the first thing to do when considering growing tomatoes in a pot is to find a suitable variety.After you find the perfect plant, it is time to plant it. In general, plastic or fiberglass pots are best for growing tomatoes. They dont dry out quickly. While tomatoes love heat, they dont like being dry. 37 Besides, tomatoes need to grow in a reasonably large pot. A pot must be 8 inches deep. Thats the absolute minimum. A 12- or 16-inch pot is even better. 38 Dont use soil dug directly from the garden. It is too heavy for container gardens. Compost(混合的) based soil, whether purchased or mixed from your special recipe, is nice. When planting the tomato, put some soil in the bottom of the pot and set the plant in. After you have the plant set at the proper level, fill in around it with soil. The soil should go up to about an inch below the rim(边缘) of the pot to allow room for watering. 39 The best way to tell when to water is to stick your finger into the soil if the first two inches are dry, its time to water.The trickiest thing about growing tomatoes in a pot is that they are heavy feeders. Every time you water, you wash nutrients out of the soil. So fertilize(施肥) regularly. Once a month is good. But every other week, applying the fertilizer at half-strength is better. 40 A. Thats why clay pots are popular.B. Instead, use whatever soil you can get.C. And dry soil can reduce fruit production.D. This provides constant nutrients for the tomato plants.E. They require peoples much work to stay manageable.F. Tomatoes dont like being dry, so water them regularly.G. Any good quality organic potting soil works for tomatoes.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Many of us have characteristics coming from our families.
