一、阅读理解(共30分)
For Canaan Elementary’s second grade in Patchogue, N.Y., today is speech day, and right now it’s Chris Palaez’s turn. The 8-year-old is the joker of the class. With shining dark eyes, he seems like the kind of kid who would enjoy public speaking.
But he’s nervous. “I’m here to tell you today why you should … should…” Chris trips on the “-ld,” a pronunciation difficulty for many non-native English speakers. His teacher, Thomas Whaley, is next to him, whispering support. “…Vote for …me …” Except for some stumbles, Chris is doing amazingly well. When he brings his speech to a nice conclusion, Whaley invites the rest of the class to praise him.
A son of immigrants, Chris stared learning English a little over three years ago. Whaley recalls (回想起) how at the beginning of the year, when called upon to read, Chris would excuse himself to go to the bathroom.
Learning English as a second language can be a painful experience. What you need is a great teacher who lets you make mistakes. “It takes a lot for any student,” Whaley explains, “especially for a student who is learning English as their new language, to feel confident enough to say, ‘I don’t know, but I want to know.’”
Whaley got the idea of this second-grade presidential campaign project when he asked the children one day to raise their hands if they thought they could never be a president. The answer broke his heart. Whaley says the project is about more than just learning to read and speak in public. He wants these kids to learn to boast (夸耀) about themselves.
“Boasting about yourself, and your best qualities,” Whaley says, “is very difficult for a child who came into the classroom not feeling confident.”

There is more of a connection between food and culture than you may think. On an individual level, we grow up eating the food of our culture. It becomes a part of who we are. Many associate food from our childhood with warm feelings and good memories and it ties us to our families, holding a special and personal value for us. Food from our family often becomes the comfort food we seek as adults in times of frustration and stress.
On a large scale, traditional food is an important part of culture. It also operates as an expression of culture identity. Immigrants bring it wherever they go, and it is a symbol of pride for their culture and means of coping with homesickness.
Many immigrants open their own restaurants and serve traditional dishes. However, the food does not remain exactly the same. Some materials needed to make traditional dishes may not be readily available, so the taste and flavor can be different from what they would prepare in their home countries. Additionally, immigrants do not only sell dishes to people from the same countries as them, but to people from different countries. Therefore, they have to make small changes about the original dishes to cater to a wider range of customers. Those changes can create new flavors that still keep the cultural significance of the dishes.
We should embrace our heritage(传统)through our culture’s food but also become more informed about other cultures by trying their food. It is important to remember that each dish has a special place in the culture to which it belongs, and is special to those who prepare it. Food is a window into culture, and it should be treated as such.
8.What’s the function of food mentioned in the article
A.To help motivate homesickness. B.To show national identity.
C.To reflect a country’s history. D.To show a community’s superiority.
9.What does the underlined “it”in Paragraph2 refer to
A.The specific traditional food. B.The national culture.
C.A traditional expression of food. D.The old-fashioned taste.
10.Why do some immigrants have to change the original dishes in their restaurant
A.To attach cultural importance to their dishes.
B.To announce the beginning of their life on foreign soil.
C.To make the dishes popular among customers.
D.To present their own food culture in a new way.
11.What’s the author’s attitude towards different food cultures
A.Negative. B.Balanced.
C.Unfair. D.Unchangeable.
“Wow, this carrot is shaped like a spaceship!”
As a child, I’d always been drawn to strangely shaped vegetables in the produce aisle: horseshoe eggplants, flat bell peppers, three-legged carrots...but as time passed, TV ads and perfect supermarket displays taught me that tomatoes should always be perfectly round, carrots straight and apples bright red. I was taught that what looked nice must taste nice.
Today, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) acts much like Vogue and Cosmopolitan, setting unrealistic beauty expectations on how produce ought to look, down to the exact color, shape and size. But appearance is a poor indicator of flavor, nutritional value and even freshness. Food stylists in TV ads have conditioned us to see pretty as delicious and nutritious. However, Linda Hagen, a professor of consumer behavior from the University of Southem Califomia, denies the connection between beauty and nutrition, explaining that it is just another marketing strategy used by food companies to increase sales.
In the United States alone, an estimated six billion pounds of ugly produce is left unharvested, unsold and uneaten every year. That’s enough food to feed three million people for a whole year!
The discarding of imperfect produce is not just wasteful; it also contributes significantly to climate change. Rotting produce creates large amounts of methane, a greenhouse gas 28 times more effective than carbon dioxide. When supermarkets toss away an ill-shaped tomato, they are also tossing away all of the fertilizer, water and energy that went into growing, storing and transporting that tomato.
I’ve decided to take this issue into my own hands. Working with local farms, markets, meal centers and food banks, I have rescued over 4, 500 pounds of edible, nutritious, often organic, ugly produce in my city. However, helping can be a lot easier than driving from farm to farm every weekend.
12.How does the writer find the USDA
A.Inactive. B.Invaluable.
C.Inaccessible. D.Irresponsible.
13.What is Prof. Linda Hagen’s attitude towards the outside beauty of produce?
A.It reflects the inside value of produce.
B.It’s a reasonable marketing strategy.
C.It’s by no means connected with nutrition.
D.It indicates flavor, nutrition and freshness.
14.What will be talked about next
A.Some simple ways to rescue ugly produce.
B.Some other countries that waste produce.
C.Some stories of the writer visiting farms.
D.Some new discoveries by food professionals.
二、七选五(共10分)
Does Drinking Alcohol Make You Gain Weight
If you are trying to maintain a healthy weight, the first step is to look at what you’re eating regularly and assess whether it helps you meet your nutritional goals. ___15___ What you drink is a big factor as well, so there are a few things you may want to know about alcohol intake and body composition.
Alcohol’s high in calories.
In general, alcohol is high in calories. ___16___ When you look at mixers like juices, soda, cream, whipped cream or coconut milk, the calories in an alcoholic beverage can be really high.
___17___
Hormones(荷尔蒙)play a crucial role in the healthy functioning of all the body`s tissues and organs. Drinking alcohol can impair the functions of the brain parts that release hormones and the functions of the tissues targeted by those hormones, which can result in a range of health issues.
Alcohol makes it harder to get quality sleep.
___18___ However, consumption of alcohol—especially in excess—has been linked to poor sleep quality and duration. In fact, individuals who are dependent on alcohol commonly experience insomnia(失眠)symptoms.
It can make you feel hungry.
After a couple of drinks, you're more likely to grab whatever quick and easy snack without really thinking about it. ___19___ First of all, alcohol can cause blood sugar levels to dip. Also, it's found that alcohol affects an area of the brain that controls appetite and this can cause intense hunger after drinking.
There's also evidence that excessive alcohol consumption has been linked to an increased risk of cancer, heart disease, mental illness, and other problems.
A.It's not unusual for people to use alcohol as a sleep aid.
B.Protein and carbohydrates have 4 calories per gram but alcohol has 7.
C.Those hunger pangs are caused by a couple of different things.
D.But it`s not just about food.

G.It messes with your hormones.
三、完形填空(共30分)
TikTok, a social media app dedicated to short-form videos, has emerged as a major firer of food trends — from mushroom coffee and pancake cereal to cloud bread and feta pasta. But another trend, the #whatieatinaday trend, is dominating TikTok, which is nearing 9 billion ____20____.
Even though #whatieatinaday posts may be ____21____ to serve as healthy inspiration for others, there’s a growing feeling that these video diaries of daily eats will likely do more harm than good — especially among young girls or people with a history of disordered eating.
The ____22____ message these posts send is that if you eat like them, then you can eventually look like them. Yet what someone else eats in a day doesn’t mean it’s right for you, since these “____23____” videos are not a completely accurate representation of what someone typically eats.
Often the overly stylized (程式化) meals do not ____24____ a nutritionally adequate diet. The posts are ____25____ the illusion (幻想) of an ideal day of eating, along with an ideal body size.
Younger audiences, especially girls and young women, internalize the message that they must eat like these creators to achieve and maintain not only health, but also social ____26____. The biggest harm with this trend is that it normalizes disordered or ____27____ eating behaviors. This could prevent someone struggling with an eating disorder from ____28____ support or treatment.
Even if the #whatieatinaday posts are displaying a ______29______ day of eating, the subtext message of “eat like me, and you will look like me” is harmful because people will not necessarily achieve the same body size as the ______30______ even if they copied their day of eating bite for bite.
______31______, what might be a healthy, adequate day of satisfying meals for one person may be inadequate and unsatisfying to another. Even worse, someone looking at these posts may conclude that they need to be eating half as much to ______32______.
People making these videos are overwhelmingly thin, young, able-bodied and white. There is a complete lack of body ______33______. And this encourages harmful comparisons to unrealistic body standards that are ______34______ to the vast majority of people. Therefore, those of us from marginalized communities are once again unable to see positive representations of our varying bodies, foods and cultural representation in these harmful posts.”

A Mammoth ProjectA US company called Colossal has raised 11 million dollars to bring mammoths (猛犸象) back from extinction. Mammoths died out about 3,700 years ago but their bodies are sometimes ____35____ in ice. This allows scientists to ____36____ their DNA, which could hold the key to bringing mammoths back to life.
A team of scientists at Colossal plan to use information from mammoth ____37____ to edit the DNA of Asian elephants — their closest living relatives. The team will focus on DNA that is linked to bushy hair and other ____38____ for cold weather. These were what helped mammoths survive on the Arctic steppe — ancient chilly grasslands. By adding this DNA to egg cells from Asian elephants, they hope to create an elephant-mammoth mix, which could develop into a baby either inside a living Indian elephant or in a(n) ____39____ organ.
Colossal hopes that the first set of calves could be born this way in six years. “We want something that is ____40____ equivalent to the mammoth, that will enjoy its time at - 40°C and do all the things that elephants and mammoths do, in particular knocking down trees,” said Church, the founder of Colossal. It’s hoped that the destructive habits of the hybrids (杂交种) could help restore areas of Arctic steppe that have been ____41____ by trees since mammoths became extinct. That can help keep the world cooler.
Arctic grasslands ____42____ more heat from the Sun than forests and can absorb more of the gases released by human activity. However, not everyone agrees with the ____43____. Professor Adrian says the extinction of mammoths had little to do with the _____44_____ of steppe grasslands.

Dear Liu Fang,
Today the weather was wonderful, so I went out to the local park with some friends to fly kites. It seemed that half the city joined in us, so we had trouble find a good place to stand. But I felt so relaxing when we were done.
Over lunch, I was told that kites were invented by a man naming Mozi, who was something of a philosopher and worked hardly to bring peace between warring countries. He also created many clever inventions from wood. I think it is so wonderful that Mozi could invent something would bring relaxation and happiness to such many people. I never thought to yourself that something like kites needed a inventor.
Anyway, I have to do my homeworks. Talk to you later!
Love,
Peter

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述喝酒会使体重增加并且影响身体健康。

16.根据上文“In general, alcohol is high in calories.(一般来说,酒精的热量很高)”可知,下文是继续解释酒精的热量高到什么程度,故B选项“蛋白质和碳水化合物每克含有4卡路里,但酒精含有7卡路里”符合题意。故选B。
17.根据本段内容“Hormones(荷尔蒙) play a crucial role in the healthy functioning of all the body`s tissues and organs.

18.根据下文“However, consumption of alcohol—especially in excess—has been linked to poor sleep quality and duration. In fact, individuals who are dependent on alcohol commonly experience insomnia(失眠) symptoms.(然而,饮酒,尤其是过量饮酒与睡眠质量和持续时间差有关。事实上,依赖酒精的人通常会经历失眠症)” 可知,空格处与下文构成转折关系,即讲述酒精可以帮助睡眠。故A选项“人们用酒精作为助眠剂并不罕见”符合语境。故选A。

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要叙述了一次放风筝的经历以及风筝的来源等。
【详解】1. 考查动词和动词短语搭配。句意:似乎半个城市的人都加入了我们,所以我们很难找到一个好地方站。join是指加入某个组织或者其他的团体或者协会,强调“个人加入到集体中”。join in是指参与某个活动,等于take part in。根据语境可知,这里是指加入到放风筝的行列,应用join。故删掉in。
2. 考查非谓语动词。句意:似乎半个城市的人都加入了我们,所以我们很难找到一个好地方站。have trouble (in) doing sth.为固定短语。故将find改为finding。
3. 考查形容词。句意:但当我们结束时,我感觉很放松。解析句子可知,主语为I,修饰人常用-ed形容词,即relaxed,表示“感到放松的”。而relaxing表示“令人放松的”,常修饰物,不符合本句语境。故将relaxing改为relaxed。
4. 考查非谓语动词。句意:吃午饭时,有人告诉我,风筝是由一个叫墨子的人发明的,墨子有点像哲学家,他为战国之间的和平而努力。解析句子,name在句中为非谓语动词,作后置定语,修饰the man,且为被动关系,应用过去分词,作定语。故将naming改为named。
5. 考查副词。句意:吃午饭时,有人告诉我,风筝是由一个叫墨子的人发明的。墨子有点像哲学家,他为战国之间的和平而努力。hardly表示“几乎不”,hard表示“努力地”,根据语境,这里是指墨子为和平而十分努力,应用hard修饰动词work,符合句意。故将hardly改为hard。
6. 考查定语从句。句意:墨子发明了一种东西,可以给许多人带来放松和快乐,我认为这是非常美妙的。解析句子可知,此处是限制性定语从句,先行词为不定代词something,指物,在从句中作主语,只能用关系代词that引导。故在would前加that。
7. 考查so和such的区别。句意:墨子发明了一种东西,可以给许多人带来放松和快乐,我认为这是非常美妙的。修饰形容词many,只能用副词so,such一般修饰名词。故将such改为so。
8. 考查反身代词。句意:我从没想过像风筝这样的东西需要一个发明家。解析句子可知,主语时I,第一人称,且根据句意,介词to后面的宾语也应用myself而不是yourself。故将yourself改为myself。
9. 考查不定冠词。句意:我从没想过像风筝这样的东西需要一个发明家。不定冠词修饰的名词inventor为元音音素开头,应用an。故将a改为an。
10. 考查不可数名词。句意:不管怎样,我得做我的家庭作业了。homework表示“家庭作业”时,是不可数名词,没有复数形式。故将homeworks改为homework。
56.Recently, we conducted a survey on short-sightedness among the fifty students in our class. According to the survey, twenty students have good eyesight, while thirty students are short-sighted. We found that eighteen students became short-sighted due to watching TV or sitting in front of a computer for a long time. Nine students said their poor posture led to their short-sightedness. Three other students had other reasons for their poor eyesight. Thus, the main reason for short-sightedness is that some students don’t use their eyes properly.
Our eyes are very important to us. We should protect them all the time. We should not watch TV or surf the Internet for hours without breaks. We should also read in a correct way. Furthermore, doing eye exercises is good for our eyes.
