Most glitter(小发光物品), which is made up of tiny pieces of plastic, is a huge danger to the environment. “Everyone talks about the mountain of plastic floating in the ocean. You can grab empty bottles from the water, but with tiny pieces, it’s impossible,” says Victor Alvarez, a chemical engineer who sells an eco-friendly alternative to glitter.
In the early 2,000s, Alvarez worked for Mercedes-Benz in Germany, where he became fond of any technology that protected the environment. A few years after leaving Mercedes-Benz, he founded Blue Sun International in Miami, which makes specialty ingredients for the skin and hair care industries.
Glitter is a popular ingredient in cosmetics, such as eye shadows and lipsticks. So Alvarez began researching an alternative that didn’t contain plastic to make his products safer for the environment. That’s when he came across Ronald Britton Ltd., a company which had developed a plastic-free, biodegradable product called Bioglitter. It is made from regenerative cellulose(纤维素) sourced from hardwoods, primarily eucalyptus(桉树). Alvarez worked with the company to become the first retailer to sell Bioglitter in America. In 2018, he formed Today Glitter in order to sell the biodegradable glitter directly to consumers through its website.
Today Glitter sells two kinds of biodegradable glitter Bioglitter Sparkle and Bioglitter Pure. Both are almost plastic-free and can biodegrade in a short time. Meanwhile, they are as shiny as regular glitter. All these products are third-party tested by T V, an international organization that provides testing and certification for compostable (可降解的) and biodegradable products.
Despite its benefits, the hardwoods needed to make biodegradable glitter cause it to cost about twice as much as conventional glitter. A small glass container that contains just 6 grams of Bioglitter costs $10, while the same amount of regular glitter could cost at least half that amount. Alvarez expects the price will come down over time. He also expects the company’s sales to cross $1 million next year. But more importantly, Alvarez says, his main goal is to effect a meaningful change.
4. While at Mercedes Benz, Alvarez .
A. developed a way to grab glitter in the sea B. became interested in the environment
C. attempted to live a plastic-free life D. created a kind of harmless glitter
5. What do we know about Bioglitter
A. It is a plastic-free ingredient for eye shadows.
B. It will soon be on sale in the American market.
C. It is very difficult to break down in the wild.
D. It was invented by Blue Sun International.
6. Why does the author mention T V in the text
A. To show Bioglitter Sparkle and Bioglitter Pure are popular.
B. To stress it provides a broad range of testing services.
C. To prove Today Glitter’s products are eco-friendly.
D. To explain many plastic products are low-quality.
7. What is the problem faced by Today Glitter at present
A. The complex process of making glitter. B. How to expand its overseas market.
C. How to attract potential investors. D. The high cost of raw materials.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. D

It’s a known fact that emissions from gas-powered vehicles are harming the atmosphere. In response to this Porsche, the German sports car brand, began a pilot program of producing e-fuels in Chile last year. Currently, e-fuels will be used only in sports cars at Porsche’s performance and experience centers.
E-fuels are made by passing electricity through water. The electricity separates the hydrogen and oxygen molecules. The hydrogen is then mixed with CO2 to produce liquid e-fuels. E-fuels can be produced using many renewable energy sources, such as solar energy and wind. They follow the chemical structure of gasoline, making it possible for gas-powered cars to run on e-fuels with little to no modification.
E-Fuels are preponderant (占优势的) over gas. E-fuels can help ease the change away from gas-powered cars, for those who may not be able to afford electric vehicles(EVs). They will also help to reduce waste by keeping gas-powered cars in service. Additionally, the use of e-fuels will not require new infrastructure to be built unlike EVs.
Existing gas stations and cars will be able to stay in use, which is already a big saving. However, opinions differ on whether e-fuels are truly eco-friendly. E-fuels are widely said to be nearly carbon neutral, although an independent study indicates that e-fuels release the same amount of CO2 as gasoline. Since e-fuels are still being developed and tested, their true impacts are still unknown.
E-fuels are very expensive to produce, partly due to energy loss during production. Unfortunately, only about 50% of the energy used in producing e-fuels is actually transformed into fuels. Additionally, only about 16% of the energy used in e-fuel production is actually used to power the car.
Even though the use of e-fuels will keep existing infrastructure, it will still take time and money to include it in everyday life. Currently the price of c-fuels is nearly double the cost of regular fuels. Though opinion is divided on e-fuels, with more testing and development, they have been considered as another way to help fight against the climate crisis by many researchers.
8. What can we learn about e-fuels
A. They were tested in Germany at first. B. They are applicable to gas-powered cars.
C. They were produced relying on solar energy. D. They need to be mixed with CO2 in actual use.
9. What’s paragraph 3 mainly about
A. E-fuels are greater than gas. B. E-fuels are rich in gas.
C. E-fuels are dependent on gas. D. E-fuels are equal to gas.
10. What do the figures in paragraph 5 mainly indicate
A. EVs have enjoyed much popularity. B. The cost of e-fuels will go down gradually.
C. There are many difficulties in advertising e-fuels. D. The efficiency of e-fuels is lower in powering cars.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards e-fuels
A. Positive. B. Scared. C. Objective. D. Doubtful.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了什么是电子燃料以及电子燃料的优缺点。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“They follow the chemical structure of gasoline, making it possible for gas-powered cars to run on e-fuels with little to no modification.(它们遵循汽油的化学结构，使得以汽油为动力的汽车可以在几乎不需要修改的情况下使用电子燃料)”可知，电子燃料适用于汽油动力汽车。故选B。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“E-Fuels are preponderant (占优势的) over gas. E-fuels can help ease the change away from gas-powered cars, for those who may not be able to afford electric vehicles(EVs). They will also help to reduce waste by keeping gas-powered cars in service. Additionally, the use of e-fuels will not require new infrastructure to be built unlike EVs.(电子燃料比天然气占优势。对于那些买不起电动汽车的人来说，电子燃料可以帮助缓解从汽油动力汽车转向电动汽车的过程。它们还将通过保持汽油动力汽车的服务来帮助减少浪费。此外，与电动汽车不同，使用电子燃料不需要建造新的基础设施)”可知，第三段的主要内容是电子燃料比天然气更好。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“E-fuels are very expensive to produce, partly due to energy loss during production. Unfortunately, only about 50% of the energy used in producing e-fuels is actually transformed into fuels. Additionally, only about 16% of the energy used in e-fuel production is actually used to power the car.(电子燃料的生产非常昂贵，部分原因是生产过程中的能量损失。不幸的是，只有大约50%用于生产电子燃料的能源真正转化为燃料。此外，在电子燃料生产中使用的能源中，只有大约16%真正用于为汽车提供动力)”可推知，第5段中的数字主要说明了电子燃料为汽车提供动力的效率较低。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Even though the use of e-fuels will keep existing infrastructure, it will still take time and money to include it in everyday life. Currently the price of c-fuels is nearly double the cost of regular fuels. Though opinion is divided on e-fuels, with more testing and development, they have been considered as another way to help fight against the climate crisis by many researchers.(尽管使用电子燃料将保持现有的基础设施，但将其纳入日常生活仍需要时间和金钱。目前，碳燃料的价格几乎是普通燃料的两倍。尽管对电子燃料的看法存在分歧，但随着更多的测试和开发，它们已被许多研究人员视为帮助对抗气候危机的另一种方式)”可推知，作者提到了电子燃料的优点和缺点，即对电子燃料的态度是客观的。故选C。
D
Tonal languages use pitch (音调) to distinguish words that otherwise might sound the same. In Mandarin, for instance, m means horse whereas m means mother. Nontonal languages like Spanish sometimes include pitch changes to suggest emotion, for example, but not to change a word’s meaning.
As a Mandarin speaker and musician, Jingxuan Liu wondered about the crossover (融合) between language and music. While studying at Duke University, Liu helped analyze the musical abilities of nearly half a million people from 203 countries. Her colleagues had launched an online game in which participants completed several musical tasks, including identifying matching melodies at different pitches and finding beat tracks that fit songs’ rhythms.
On average, native speakers of the 19 represented tonal languages were better at the melody task compared with speakers of 29 nontonal languages. And the effect wasn’t small a tonal first language strengthened melodic understanding by about half the amount that music lessons did, which was also surveyed. But tonal languages speakers tended to be worse at the rhythm task.
Humans must be choosy about what they pay attention to. Pitch patterns are quite important in tonal languages, which might explain the balancing act in music. “You’ve got a finite resource of attention, and you’ve got to divide up that somehow,” says study coauthor Courtney Hilton, a scientist at the University of Auckland in New Zealand.
Prior research on language and music often compared just two tongues, usually English and Mandarin. But other cultural influences, such as Eastern and Western music styles, could have affected results. By examining a wide range of people, the new study included languages never estimated in this way and reached more generalizable conclusion.
“Our result here is showing that the language someone speaks which is an important part of culture — also shapes cognition,” Hilton says.
12. Why did Liu’s colleagues launch the online game
A. To attract more students to do the research.
B. To learn about different people’s musical abilities.
C. To confirm the role of music in people’s language learning.
D. To find the difference between tonal languages and nontonal ones.
13. What were native speakers of tonal languages better at than those of nontonal languages
A. Finding beat tracks. B. Suggesting emotion.
C. Distinguishing word meanings. D. Figuring out matching melodies.
14. What does the underlined word “finite” in paragraph 4 mean
A Valued. B. Limited. C. Special. D. Potential.
15. Which of the following words can best describe Liu’s study
A. Ground-breaking. B. Brain-washing. C. Inefficient. D. Unreliable.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲了一项新的研究发现，声调语言的人比非声调语言的人在音乐旋律任务上表现得更好，在节奏任务中表现更差。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“As a Mandarin speaker and musician, Jingxuan Liu wondered about the crossover (融合) between language and music. While studying at Duke University, Liu helped analyze the musical abilities of nearly half a million people from 203 countries. Her colleagues had launched an online game in which participants completed several musical tasks, including identifying matching melodies at different pitches and finding beat tracks that fit songs’ rhythms.(作为一名讲普通话的音乐家，刘静轩对语言和音乐之间的交叉感到好奇。在杜克大学学习期间，刘帮助分析了来自203个国家的近50万人的音乐能力。她的同事们推出了一个在线游戏，参与者要完成几个音乐任务，包括识别不同音高的匹配旋律，找到适合歌曲节奏的节拍)”可知，刘的同事们为推出这款网络游戏是为了了解不同的人的音乐能力。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“On average, native speakers of the 19 represented tonal languages were better at the melody task compared with speakers of 29 nontonal languages. And the effect wasn’t small a tonal first language strengthened melodic understanding by about half the amount that music lessons did, which was also surveyed.(平均而言，19种声调语言的母语人士比29种非声调语言的母语人士在旋律任务上表现得更好。而且效果并不小，一门有音调的第一语言对旋律理解的增强效果大约是音乐课的一半，这也是调查的结果)”可知，母语为声调语言的人比母语为非声调语言的人更擅长找出匹配的旋律。故选D项。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。划线词句前文“Humans must be choosy about what they pay attention to. Pitch patterns are quite important in tonal languages, which might explain the balancing act in music.(人类必须对自己关注的东西有所选择。音高模式在声调语言中非常重要，这也许可以解释音乐中的平衡行为)”说明，人类必须对他们所关注的东西有选择性，从而推知划线词句“You’ve got a finite resource of attention, and you’ve got to divide up that somehow(你的注意力资源是finite，你必须以某种方式分配它)”其中划线词应为“有限的”的意思，与B项Limited“有限的”同义。故选B项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Prior research on language and music often compared just two tongues, usually English and Mandarin. But other cultural influences, such as Eastern and Western music styles, could have affected results. By examining a wide range of people, the new study included languages never estimated in this way and reached more generalizable conclusion.(之前关于语言和音乐的研究通常只比较两种语言，通常是英语和普通话。但其他文化影响，如东西方音乐风格，可能会影响结果。通过对大范围人群的调查，这项新研究包括了从未以这种方式估计过的语言，并得出了更普遍的结论)”可推知，刘的研究是开创性的。故选A项。

第二节(满分 25 分)
47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was my very first trip to Africa. We were driving along a track that skirted the southern bank of the Chobe River, when my friend suddenly noticed something up ahead — a large shape jammed in-between a couple of big trees, right beside the road. We edged the car closer and, to our surprise, found ourselves looking at a young calf snuggled (偎依) up against a sizeable elephant (most probably its mother).
Our dilemma now was this: Was it OK to just drive slowly past the pair of elephants on that narrow track Or would that cause the mother to become upset and charge, in which case we should either wait for them to move on or turn the car around A bit unnerved by the close encounter, we chose to head back the way we’d come.
In the following days, I had a number of conversations with national park staff and fellow travelers about what to do when you suddenly come across an elephant while driving in the African wilds.
Sometimes people told me it would be OK to slowly drive past the mother and calf, because the wild animals of Chobe have become pretty used to humans in cars. Elephants seldom pose a threat to us. So there’s no need to adopt an attitude of permanent near-panic calm decisiveness is your true ally (助手) in such situations.
But then sometimes I was told to switch off the car and wait until the elephant had departed the scene. The idea was that the rumble (隆隆声) of an automotive engine could be interpreted by the animal as a kind of challenge. Keeping silent would reassure the elephant that you weren’t going to cause any trouble, and eventually it would go on its merry way. OK, that also sounded reasonable enough.
A week later, my friend and I were driving by a river, watching elephants meet on the water for a drink, and were driving back to our lodge (度假小屋) when we found our route blocked by a young male elephant. As surprised as we were, the elephant planted his feet in the dirt and seemingly prepared to fight against our car.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
The track was narrow and bordered by thick bush, so we couldn’t go around him.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The elephant walked right up to the car.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
The track was narrow and bordered by thick bush, so we couldn’t go around him. Reversing back the way we’d come didn’t appeal either, as we’d probably run into other elephants making their way back up the riverbank. So, taking a deep breath, my friend turned off the engine and we both went as still as possible. The following 15 minutes or so rank as some of the most nervous and thrilling minutes I’d experienced so far in Africa. We sat in our car, unmoving and silent.
The elephant walked right up to the car. It began waving his trunk over the hood, as if trying to make sense of us by sniffing. Then, as we watched, he raised one big foot in the air in front of us and began moving it forward and backward, giving me a momentary vision of being stamped into a metallic pancake. Eventually, the elephant lost interest in us, wandering off to chew some nearby branches, when we started the car and slowly rolled away.

Most glitter(小发光物品), which is made up of tiny pieces of plastic, is a huge danger to the environment. “Everyone talks about the mountain of plastic floating in the ocean. You can grab empty bottles from the water, but with tiny pieces, it’s impossible,” says Victor Alvarez, a chemical engineer who sells an eco-friendly alternative to glitter.
In the early 2,000s, Alvarez worked for Mercedes-Benz in Germany, where he became fond of any technology that protected the environment. A few years after leaving Mercedes-Benz, he founded Blue Sun International in Miami, which makes specialty ingredients for the skin and hair care industries.
Glitter is a popular ingredient in cosmetics, such as eye shadows and lipsticks. So Alvarez began researching an alternative that didn’t contain plastic to make his products safer for the environment. That’s when he came across Ronald Britton Ltd., a company which had developed a plastic-free, biodegradable product called Bioglitter. It is made from regenerative cellulose(纤维素) sourced from hardwoods, primarily eucalyptus(桉树). Alvarez worked with the company to become the first retailer to sell Bioglitter in America. In 2018, he formed Today Glitter in order to sell the biodegradable glitter directly to consumers through its website.
Today Glitter sells two kinds of biodegradable glitter Bioglitter Sparkle and Bioglitter Pure. Both are almost plastic-free and can biodegrade in a short time. Meanwhile, they are as shiny as regular glitter. All these products are third-party tested by T V, an international organization that provides testing and certification for compostable (可降解的) and biodegradable products.
Despite its benefits, the hardwoods needed to make biodegradable glitter cause it to cost about twice as much as conventional glitter. A small glass container that contains just 6 grams of Bioglitter costs $10, while the same amount of regular glitter could cost at least half that amount. Alvarez expects the price will come down over time. He also expects the company’s sales to cross $1 million next year. But more importantly, Alvarez says, his main goal is to effect a meaningful change.

It’s a known fact that emissions from gas-powered vehicles are harming the atmosphere. In response to this, Porsche, the German sports car brand, began a pilot program of producing e-fuels in Chile last year. Currently, e-fuels will be used only in sports cars at Porsche’s performance and experience centers.
E-fuels are made by passing electricity through water. The electricity separates the hydrogen and oxygen molecules. The hydrogen is then mixed with CO2 to produce liquid e-fuels. E-fuels can be produced using many renewable energy sources, such as solar energy and wind. They follow the chemical structure of gasoline, making it possible for gas-powered cars to run on e-fuels with little to no modification.
E-Fuels are preponderant (占优势的) over gas. E-fuels can help ease the change away from gas-powered cars, for those who may not be able to afford electric vehicles(EVs). They will also help to reduce waste by keeping gas-powered cars in service. Additionally, the use of e-fuels will not require new infrastructure to be built unlike EVs.
Existing gas stations and cars will be able to stay in use, which is already a big saving. However, opinions differ on whether e-fuels are truly eco-friendly. E-fuels are widely said to be nearly carbon neutral, although an independent study indicates that e-fuels release the same amount of CO2 as gasoline. Since e-fuels are still being developed and tested, their true impacts are still unknown.
E-fuels are very expensive to produce, partly due to energy loss during production. Unfortunately, only about 50% of the energy used in producing e-fuels is actually transformed into fuels. Additionally, only about 16% of the energy used in e-fuel production is actually used to power the car.
Even though the use of e-fuels will keep existing infrastructure, it will still take time and money to include it in everyday life. Currently the price of c-fuels is nearly double the cost of regular fuels. Though opinion is divided on e-fuels, with more testing and development, they have been considered as another way to help fight against the climate crisis by many researchers.
8. What can we learn about e-fuels
A. They were tested in Germany at first. B. They are applicable to gas-powered cars.
C. They were produced relying on solar energy. D. They need to be mixed with CO2 in actual use.
9. What’s paragraph 3 mainly about
A. E-fuels are greater than gas. B. E-fuels are rich in gas.
C. E-fuels are dependent on gas. D. E-fuels are equal to gas.
10. What do the figures in paragraph 5 mainly indicate
A. EVs have enjoyed much popularity. B. The cost of e-fuels will go down gradually.
C. There are many difficulties in advertising e-fuels. D. The efficiency of e-fuels is lower in powering cars.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards e-fuels
A. Positive. B. Scared. C. Objective. D. Doubtful.
D
Tonal languages use pitch (音调) to distinguish words that otherwise might sound the same. In Mandarin, for instance, m means horse whereas m means mother. Nontonal languages like Spanish sometimes include pitch changes to suggest emotion, for example, but not to change a word’s meaning.
As a Mandarin speaker and musician Jingxuan Liu wondered about the crossover (融合) between language and music. While studying at Duke University, Liu helped analyze the musical abilities of nearly half a million people from 203 countries. Her colleagues had launched an online game in which participants completed several musical tasks, including identifying matching melodies at different pitches and finding beat tracks that fit songs’ rhythms.
On average, native speakers of the 19 represented tonal languages were better at the melody task compared with speakers of 29 nontonal languages. And the effect wasn’t small a tonal first language strengthened melodic understanding by about half the amount that music lessons did, which was also surveyed. But tonal languages speakers tended to be worse at the rhythm task.
Humans must be choosy about what they pay attention to. Pitch patterns are quite important in tonal languages, which might explain the balancing act in music. “You’ve got a finite resource of attention, and you’ve got to divide up that somehow,” says study coauthor Courtney Hilton, a scientist at the University of Auckland in New Zealand.
Prior research on language and music often compared just two tongues, usually English and Mandarin. But other cultural influences, such as Eastern and Western music styles, could have affected results. By examining a wide range of people, the new study included languages never estimated in this way and reached more generalizable conclusion.
“Our result here is showing that the language someone speaks which is an important part of culture — also shapes cognition,” Hilton says.
12. Why did Liu’s colleagues launch the online game
A. To attract more students to do the research.
B. To learn about different people’s musical abilities.
C. To confirm the role of music in people’s language learning.
D. To find the difference between tonal languages and nontonal ones.
13. What were native speakers of tonal languages better at than those of nontonal languages
A. Finding beat tracks. B. Suggesting emotion.
C. Distinguishing word meanings. D. Figuring out matching melodies.
14. What does the underlined word “finite” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Valued. B. Limited. C. Special. D. Potential.
15. Which of the following words can best describe Liu’s study
A. Ground-breaking. B. Brain-washing. C. Inefficient. D. Unreliable.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was my very first trip to Africa. We were driving along a track that skirted the southern bank of the Chobe River, when my friend suddenly noticed something up ahead — a large shape jammed in-between a couple of big trees, right beside the road. We edged the car closer and, to our surprise, found ourselves looking at a young calf snuggled (偎依) up against a sizeable elephant (most probably its mother).
Our dilemma now was this: Was it OK to just drive slowly past the pair of elephants on that narrow track Or would that cause the mother to become upset and charge, in which case we should either wait for them to move on or turn the car around A bit unnerved by the close encounter, we chose to head back the way we’d come.
In the following days, I had a number of conversations with national park staff and fellow travelers about what to do when you suddenly come across an elephant while driving in the African wilds.
Sometimes people told me it would be OK to slowly drive past the mother and calf, because the wild animals of Chobe have become pretty used to humans in cars. Elephants seldom pose a threat to us. So there’s no need to adopt an attitude of permanent near-panic calm decisiveness is your true ally (助手) in such situations.
But then sometimes I was told to switch off the car and wait until the elephant had departed the scene. The idea was that the rumble (隆隆声) of an automotive engine could be interpreted by the animal as a kind of challenge. Keeping silent would reassure the elephant that you weren’t going to cause any trouble, and eventually it would go on its merry way. OK, that also sounded reasonable enough.
A week later, my friend and I were driving by a river, watching elephants meet on the water for a drink, and were driving back to our lodge (度假小屋) when we found our route blocked by a young male elephant. As surprised as we were, the elephant planted his feet in the dirt and seemingly prepared to fight against our car.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
The track was narrow and bordered by thick bush, so we couldn’t go around him.

The elephant walked right up to the car.
