B。B Tim Mas parents came to the United States from Taiwan in the 1970s.They opened a restaurant.It was not a success.They found success in America,however,in computers and engineering.In part because of their own experiences,Mas parents hoped he would study to become an engineer or a doctor.They wanted financial security for their child.Growing up,Ma considered many professionswriter,fireman,even president.Ma did well in math and science classes in high school.And he ended up choosing to study electrical engineering in college.Several engineering jobs later,though,Ma had a change of heart.He wanted to leave the engineering world behind and enter the restaurant business.It was in his blood.After all,his parents had owned a Chinese restaurant in Arkansas.His parents could not understand why he would want to leave such a good job to open a restaurant.He wanted to study the fundamentals of cooking so that he could work as a chef in his own restaurant.Ma enrolled at the International Culinary Center in New York,where he received training in French cooking.“I have never cooked through my entire life up until this point.”Ma soon learned that he enjoyed cooking and he discovered it was similar to engineering.“Professional cooking is consistency,efficiency,cleanliness and its all about the process of things which you know my background in engineering was.”In 2009,Ma opened his first restaurant in Virginia.His long hours paid off.Ma opened his fourth restaurant last year in Washington，D.C.He mixes his training in French cooking with his Chinese heritage to create new dishes.“I think in this country you can create your own success,just by working hard.Not because youre smarter than anybody,just by working hard.And thats why a lot of people end up coming to America.”(A)24.Why did Tim Mas parents expect him to be an engineer or a doctor?A.Because he can have enough money to support himself.B.Because they wanted him to achieve their unfinished dream.C.Because he has a great interest in math and science.D.Because these two jobs both have high social statues.【解析】从文章第一段最后一句 They wanted financial security for their child.可以得知答案为 A。(B)25.What was Mas parents attitude towards his job changing?A.Supportive.B.Unfavourable.C.Neutral.D.Skeptical.【解析】从 His parents could not understand why he would want to leave such a good job to open a restaurant.可以得知，父母是不理解、不支持他放弃好工作而来开餐馆的。(A)26.What does Tim Ma think about cooking?A.It is something like engineering.B.Cooking is all about cleaning.C.You have to do the work consistently.D.Efficiency is important in cooking.【解析】从文章倒数第二段可以得知，he discovered it was similar to engineering.“Professional cooking is consistency,efficiency,cleanliness and its all about the process of things which you know my background in engineering was.”Tim Ma觉得学烹饪就像学工程一般，有很多相通之处，都需要连贯、高效、清洁。(B)27.Which of the following best describes Tim Ma?A.Humorous and athletic.B.Hardworking and determined.C.Fashionable and aggressive.D.Stubborn and devoted.【解析】纵观全文，以及最后一段的倒数第三句话 I think in this country you can create your own success,just by working hard.可知，主人公是勤勉又有决心的人。C Anyone caring about their health will be able to speak out a few of the major vitamins,and possibly take an educated guess at what they do.Vitamin C,found in oranges and other fruit and vegetables,is important for wound repair.And the muchtalkedabout“sunshine”vitamin D,produced by the skin in response to UV light,is essential for strong bones.But what about vitamin P?It might well have you scratching your head.And thats not surprising:the term was first coined in the 1930s to describe a small group of compounds that provide pigment(天然色素)to plants,and were believed to have health benefits.A century later,these compounds are now better known as flavonoids(类黄酮)Today,scientists have identified between 4，000 and 6，000 different kinds and we now know they are responsible for many of the flavors and smells of fruit and vegetables and also that they protect them from invaders such as pests and bacteria.They are equally important nutrients for the body,helping maintain bones and teeth,and for the production of the protein collagen(胶原),which provides structure to blood vessels,muscles and skin.They are also said to help the body deal with some of the key drivers of illness,including oxidation(氧化),a natural process by which the bodys cells age and can become damaged and defective.That means they could help to protect against chronic diseases including cancer and heart disease.【语篇导读】任何对他们的健康感兴趣的人都能一口气说出几种主要的维生素，并可能对它们的作用做出有根据的猜测。但是维生素 P 呢？这很可能会让你挠头。看看这篇文章来了解一下吧！(B)28.What do we know about vitamin P?A.We would scratch our head if we took it.B.It refers to the compounds also called flavonoids.C.It was made into a coin in the 1930s.D.People didnt think it beneficial in the past.【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段中的“these compounds are now better known as flavonoids(类黄酮)”可知 B 选项正确。“It might well have you scratching your head”意为“它很有可能会让你挠头(冥思苦想)”，故 A 选项错误；“the term was first coined in the 1930s”意为“这个术语是 20 世纪 30 年代被创造的”，故 C 选项错误。根据“were believed to have health benefits”可知 D 选项错误。(C)29.Which is NOT the function of vitamin P for humans according to the passage?A.Helping maintain bones and teeth.B.Assisting in producing protein collagen.C.Accelerating the circulation of the blood.D.Aiding the body to handle the main factors of illness.【解析】推理判断题。根据文章后两段的介绍可知，维生素 P 对人体的作用有三种：(1)helping maintain bones and teeth(有助于维持骨和牙齿)：(2)important for the production of the protein collagen(胶原)(有助于产生胶原蛋白)；(3)help the body deal with some of the key drivers of illness(帮助身体应对一些导致疾病的主要驱动因素)，因此 A、B、D 选项是对的，而 C 选项“Accelerating the circulation of the blood”说法不对，原文应该是“The protein collagen(胶原)provides structure to blood vessels,muscles and skin.”(D)30.Which of the following best explains“defective”underlined in the last paragraph?A.Harmful.B.Discouraged.C.Vague.D.Deficient.【解析】词义猜测题。根据最后一段“They are also said to help the body deal with some of the key drivers of illness,including oxidation(氧化),a natural process by which the bodys cells age and can become damaged and defective”我们知道氧化会使我们的细胞衰老，受损或变得有缺陷。(A)31.How does vitamin P help slow the aging process?A.By fighting against oxidation.B.By maintaining bones.C.By strengthening muscles.D.By protecting against chronic diseases.【解析】细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“They are also said to help the body deal with some of the key drivers of illness,including oxidation(氧化),a natural process by which the bodys cells age and can become damaged and defective”可知，维生素 P 可帮助抗氧化。氧化是人体细胞老化的自然过程，会导致细胞受损和有缺陷，与题干中的 slow the aging process 呼应。D Blue Planet IIs latest episode(情节)focuses on how plastic is having a destructive effect on the ocean and slowly poisoning our sea creatures.Researchers recently also found that sea creatures living in the deepest place on Earth,the Mariana Trench,have plastic in their stomachs.Indeed,oceans are drowning in plastic.Though it seems that the world couldnt possibly function without plastics,plastics are a remarkably recent invention.The first plastic bags were introduced in the 1950s,the same decade that plastic packaging began gaining popularity in the United States.This growth has happened so fast that science is still catching up with the change.Plastics pollution research,for instance,is still a very early science.We put all these plastics into the environment,but we still dont really know what the outcomes are going to be.What we do know,though,is disturbing.Ocean plastic is estimated to kill millions of marine animals every year.Nearly 700 species,including endangered ones,are known to have been affected by it.One in three leatherback turtles,which often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish,have been found with plastic in their bellies.Ninety percent of seabirds are now eating plastics on a regular basis.By 2050,that figure is expected to rise to 100 percent.And its not just wildlife that is threatened by the plastics in our seas.Humans are consuming plastics through the seafood we eat.I could understand why some people see ocean plastic as a disaster,worth mentioning in the same breath as climate change.But ocean plastic is not as complicated as climate change.There are no ocean trash deniers(否认者),at least so far.To do something about it,we dont have to remake our planet energy system.This is not a problem where we don t know what the solution is.We know how to pick up garbage.Anyone can do it.We know how to deal with it.We know how to recycle.We can all start by thinking twice before we use singleuse plastic products.Things that may seem ordinary,like using a reusable bottle or a reusable bagwhen taken collectively,these choices really do make a difference.【语篇导读】本文主要介绍了塑料给海洋以及海洋中的生物造成了灾难性的影响，同时，也对人类的身体造成了影响。但是，塑料是可以降解的废物，人类只要注意自己的行为，并对塑料做无害化处理，这一污染问题是可以解决的。(C)32.Why is plastics pollution research still a very early science?A.The plastics pollution research is too difficult.B.Plastics have produced less pollution than coal.C.Plastics have gained popularity too fast for science to catch up.D.The world couldnt possibly function without plastics.【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The first plastic bags were introduced in the 1950s Plastics pollution research,for instance,is still a very early science.”可知，第一批塑料袋出现于 20 世纪 50 年代，同一时期美国的塑料包装开始流行起来，这一发展是如此之快以至于科学仍在努力赶上这一变化，而对于塑料污染问题的研究仍然还是一门非常早期的科学。故 C 选项正确。(D)33.How did the author support his opinion in Paragraph 3?A.By citing quotes from leading experts.B.By making a comparison and contrast.C.By listing examples from his own experience.D.By presenting solid statistics.【解析】推理判断题。根据本段信息可知，环境中的塑料每年杀死上百万只海洋动物，近 700 个物种，包括濒危物种在内受到了影响；三分之一的棱皮龟误食塑料，90%的海鸟在吃塑料，而到 2050 年，这一数额会达到 100%。由此可知，作者通过列举具体的数据来说明塑料的危害。故 D 选项正确。(B)34.What does the author intend to tell us in the last paragraph?A.We reap what we sow.B.The shortest answer is doing.C.All things are difficult before they are easy.D.Actions speak louder than words.【解析】意图推理判断题。根据最后
