节（共15小题；每小题2.5分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。AFoodStorage TipsBananasStore bananas at room temperature so they do not ripen too quickly.Once ripe,they can bestored in the fridge,but their skin will turnblack.Choose bananas at different stages ofripeness,so they do not all ripen at once.Freeze overripe bananas and use them for baking.BerriesBerries easily go bad when exposed to mould（霉）and bacteria.Wash them in a mixture ofvinegar（Bt）and water（1:8 parts）to kill any mould and bacteria.After drying berries,line acontainer with paper towel to absorb water.BreadStoring bread in the fridge

last in the freezer for more than three months.EggsStoring eggs in their original boxes is possible.If you do put eggs into your fridge,write the“useby”date on them.To check the freshness,place them in a tall glass of water.Eggs thatfloat to the top should not be eaten.MilkStore milk in the fridge as soon as you get home.Milk can be frozen for later use.Veganalternatives lastlonger than fresh

in Tall Glass of Water.D.Suggestions for Healthy Eating.22.Choosing bananas at different stages of ripeness is to.A.prevent them from turning blackB.check their freshnessC.avoid them ripen togetherD.absorb the water in them22.Which is best stored in airtight（密封的）packing?A.Bananas B.Bread.C.Onions D.MilkIts 6:15 a.m.on a school day,and Jocelyn Murzycki has two kids.She needs to get out the door in an hour.She*sheading out on her daily ploga run to hunt for trash.Within a few hours Murzycki says the street will look litteredagain.But she isnt discouraged;it just adds fuel to her logging（拾荒慢跑）fire.Murzycki,an administrative assistant for a financial planning company,has been doing this for a few years now,even before the logging trend hit the United States.46It really is super depressing if you go out every single day andjust pick up trash she says.But shes figured out how to make it fun by jogging with friends and upping the workout:Finding a tiny glass bottle adds one pushup;finding a straw means doing one squat（深蹲）.Swedish logging founder Erik Ahlstrom says he gave a name to the practice in 2016 after moving to Stockholm andfeeling overwhelmed by the amount of litter.So he began gathering friends to clean up neighborhood while out forruns.Now Mr Ahlstromis traveling the world,preaching（宣扬）the benefits of logging to receptive audiences.In theUS,Keep America Beautiful has helped launch an app that allows users to log the miles traveled and estimate caloriesburned,social media and running groups are mobilizing people.The word was added to the Collins EnglishDictionary,Ahlstrom hopes logging will inspire people to take action in the outdoors.And it seems to be doing justthat.The idea of slowing down a run to pick up someone elses trash,however isnt picking up speed among all runners.Marc Almanza,a frequent amateur marathoner,is known for collecting litter on his runs in Boston-but only if thereis a trash can in sight.And he definitely puts running before logging.If I were to ever plog,it would need to be a veryspecific kind of event or time and place for it,he says.24.What can we know about Ms.Murzycki from the first two paragraphs?A.Logging motivates her to running more.B.She started plog when the trend hit America.C.She doesnt want to pick up so much litter.D.She thinks running adds interest to gathering trash.25.Ahlstrom began to call his friends to clean the neighborhood because.A.he wanted to gain a reputationB.he felt astonished by so much garbageC.he attempted to advertise plogs benefitsD.he intended to spread a lifestyle of cycling26.The author mentions the examples in Paragraph 3 to tell us that.A.plogging is the best sportB.go outside is good for healthC.why Ahlstrom launched ploggingD.plog has got broad attention27.Which of the following can best describe the authors attitude to plogging?A.Supportive B.Conservative C.Objective D.SkepticalCMale songbirds usually learn their tunes from adult teachers.But when young birds lack proper role models,they hitall the wrong notesand have less success attracting mates.For five years,ecologist Ross Crates at the Australian National University has tracked the singing ability andbreeding success of critically endangered regent honeyeaters（吸蜜鸟）.While male birds once formed large winterflocks,now they are sparsely（稀疏地）distributed across the landscape,so many fly solo.That means fewerhoneyeater teachers are nearby during young birds first year.“Song learning in many birds is a process similar to humans learning languages-they learn by listening to otherindividuals,said Dr Crates.If you can*t listen to other individuals,you dont know what you should belearning.The researchers found that a significant part of male birds appear to be learning tunes entirely from otherspecies they encounter.About 12 percent of male regent honeyeaters end up producing mangled（被严重糟蹋的）versions of songs typically sung by other species,which cant attract femaleregent honeyeaters.So theseunconventional male singers were less successful in pursuing mates.The precise reason females remained aloof（冷淡）was not clear.It could be that female honeyeaters arent even recognizing these unconventional singers as potentialpartners,and so theyre not approaching them.For a population already on the brink of extinction,thats worrying.This research suggests that the loss of a songlanguage once the population reaches a very small size could accelerate their decline,“said Peter Marra,aconservation biologist at Georgetown University in the US who was not involved in the paper.We need to be aware of the importance of preserving song culture in birdsit*s possible to have a population thatsstill genetically viable（切实可行的）,but isnt viable in terms of passing on cultural knowledge,said Carl Safina,anecologist at Stony Brook University in the US who was not involved in the research.Some elements of what thesebirds need to do to survive isn*t instinctive,it has to be learned,9,he said.Dr.Crates team has begun putting theirfindings into action.28.The paragraph 2 mainly explains.A.what honeyeaters songB.how honeyeaters learn their tunesC.why young birds lack proper teachersD.why songs are essential to honeyeaters29.What can we know from the paragraph 3-4?A.Honeyeaters can communicate by using language.B.Female birds may be unable to identify males songs.C.The small population of honeyeaters accelerates their declining.D.Its worrying that young honeyeaters leran tunes from wrong teachers.30.What is most likely to be talked about in the following paragraph?A.Scientists approaches to preserving honeyeaters5 songs.B.The reasons why honeyeaters9 population decreases.C.Other birds in the face of the same problem.0.Appeals to us to protect honeyeaters.31.Which is the suitable title for the article?A.Getting Close to Honeyeaters.B.Protecting Endangered Birds.C.Doing Research into Honeyeaters9 Song Language.D.Teaching Honeyeaters to Sing the Right Song.DThe dominance（支 酉 己）of working and communicating digitally is one reason for the recent appetite for craftingit isthe perfect antidote（解药）to the online world.And of all the crafts,perhaps pottery（陶艺）does thjs most successfully.The messiness of working with wet clay and the need to follow a process to achieve results force people to put theirphones and iPads aside.Whafs more,although multi-tasking has long been seen in a positive light,now is a timewhen many of us want to slow down,and focus on a single,absorbing activity.“Clay acts almost as an antidote to the overwhelm of the digital world,says Jennifer Waverek,owner of BklynClay.It interrupts your compulsive email-checking.Your mind has a single focus,so the practice can feel meditative（冥想的）or therapeutic（疗愈的）.There is no way to speed up the process,theres noclay-microwave-ceramics（制 陶）take as much time to make today as they did 2,000 years ago.”However,there is a major irony（讽刺）to the crafting trend.Social media is fueling it.It has hooked a youngergenerations interest in pottery in particular.Young amateur potters showcase their work on social media,and theinterest in it can be measured by the huge number of likes on their Instagram pages.Social media has played acrucial role in bringing craftsmanship to a new audience,says Pablo Canivell,a ceramicist based in Spain.In these challenging times,its perhaps no surprise that pottery is boomingafter all,its not only a way to slowdown and be calm,but also offers a way to be mindful,through the patience required.t4Mindfulness is about beingpresent in the moment,and the same goes with ceramics,says Duncan Hooson,a ceramic artist at Central SaintMartins.ctYou have to focus on the now because of the interaction you have with the material which is so immediate.Young people have engaged long enough with digital technology.They want to know now how to make things,which they find immensely satisfying.32.What does the underlined this in paragraph 1 refer to?A.Longing for crafting.B.Working with wet clay.C.Relieving people of digital world.D.Being dominated by digital world.33.The paragraph mainly discusses.A.how pottery treat peopleB.how long ceramics take nowC.why pottery is booming worldwideD.what we can obtain from ceramics34.Which is NOT true according to the paragraph 3-4?A.Social media is vital to the popularity of pottery.B.Crafting trend attracts the young to make ceramics.C.Pottery needs people to concentrate on the present.D.Young people feel content with making ceramics.35.What is the tone of the article?A.Narrative B.Entertaining C.Introductory D.Unclear第 二 节（共10小题；每小题2.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。You can improve learning and potentially remember more by handwriting your class notes.Although computertechnology is often necessary today,using a pen or pencil activates（激活）more areas of your brain than a keyboarddoes.36.“As digital devices have taken over society,keyboard activity is now often recommended as a substitute for earlyhandwriting,the study notes.37.Some schools in Norway have become completely digital,notes Audrey Van der Meer,the new studysleader.However,she believes that“young children should learn to write by hand successfully,and,at the same timelearn to manage a keyboard?*38.This is because writing and printing involve complex movements that activate more areas of the brain.Theincreased brain activity enables our brain to remember more,she explains.Think about it.39.In contrast,when we write,our brain needs to think about and collect memories of the shape ofeach letter.We also need to use our eyes to watch what shapes were writing.And we need to control our hands to pressa pen or pencil to shape the different letters.All of this uses and connectsmore areas of the brain.Along the way,these processes appear to“open the brain up fbr learning”,says Van der Meer.So learning throughonly on digital devices could be harmful,she worries.40.Rather than typing blindly,the visual notetaker has to thinkabout what is important to write down.A.These are findings of a new studyB.The same movement is required to type each letter on a keyboardC.The idea is that typing may be easier fo young childrenD.She also points out that taking notes by hand stimulates visual notetaking*E.That increased brain activity makes us remember moreF.Using a pen involves more of the brain than using a keyboard,her new findings showG.To prevent the bad effect,she recommends to take notes by hand.第三部分语言运用（共两节，满
