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。

If you have ever lost touch with old school friends, you may find yourself wanting to make contact again. Some
teens find that certain school friends are worth keeping contact with and want to keep the friendship going strong.
Hang out at the same places
One way you can get together with old friends from your school is to go to the same places that they go to. If
you still go to school together, you probably know where everyone goes on the weekends. If you are able to go there
too, you may find that your relationships with your old school friends start up again.
Sports teams
If you are athletic and your former friends are too, joining school sports teams is a great way to catch up with
old friends. This doesn’t mean that you should join a sport which you do not like just so you can see your old friends.
However, if you like sports, wish to join a team and your former friends are on that team, and then playing the team

sports is a great way to get to know them again.

A famous company’s leader believes there’s only one way to know if you truly understand a subject: Can you
explain it to a child? But the man with lifelong love of math recently found it didn’t always go well when he tried
explaining mathematical concepts(概念)to his then-school-aged children.
He thinks that learning with kids to see what’s puzzling to them and what’s easy for them are the final test of
whether you know a topic—whether you can explain it.
Teachers often ask students to give a statement on a subject to show that they understand it. Studies show that
people are more likely to remember and understand concepts they’ve learned after explaining them to someone else
or even to themselves.That means you can testyour own knowledge in a subject simply by trying to teach it to a friend
,
to see both how much information you’ve kept and how well you actually understand its concepts. If they successfully
第4页/共 13页
learn from you, it’s a good sign that you’re on the right track.
The leader, who studied math and computer science at university, noted that while hewas personally good at
math as a high school student, he had trouble passing that enthusiasm(热情)to his three kids.
He loves doing math, but in the past his younger daughter would always say that he made it so complicated
(复杂的) and he didn’t need to explain this to her. Because she just wanted to know the answer.
Today, his three children are all in their 20s.While they may not have enjoyed the math lessons, he says that one
of his favorite things is teaching calculus(微积分)to the kids.There are a few very difficult concepts in calculus.He
must explain why calculus is so important and why calculus has those funny symbols. It’s crazy and it’s probably the
thing he enjoys the most.
4. What happened to the leader recently?
A. He explained Chinese well.
B. He developed his lifelong love of math.
C. He met a challenge in playing with his kids.
D. He had trouble explaining mathematical concepts to his kids.
5. What does the author encourage people to do in paragraph 3?

C. Getting the final answer. D. Keeping enthusiasm high.
7. What does the leader think of his teaching calculus to his children?
A. It brings him happiness. B. It helps his kids grow.
C. It gives him a lesson. D. It improves his maths.

One overlooked benefit of lab-grown food is that it may help the UK deal with the crisis in housing
affordability. As farming is replaced by precision fermentation (发酵) , the significant amount of land currently
used for livestock farming(including parts of the green belt) will be freed up for development in places that people
actually want to live.
However, we’d take a different lesson from the promise of lab-grown meat. Free-market environmentalism
第5页/共 13页
and harnessing the power of innovative technologies — supported by market-based measures like a border-adjusted
carbon tax — can successfully tackle the problem of man-made climate change without fundamentally uprooting
the way we run society. Saving the planet doesn’t have to cost us the earth.
It is important to acknowledge that certain types of livestock farming may have issues with sustainability and
climate change. But it is not true of all farming systems; and the issues that do exist are being dealt with using the
latest research into genetics and biotechnology-for example, recent research has shown that certain types of
seaweed can reduce methane emissions from cattle to close to zero.
Farmer data also shows that increased sales of milks have not seen a corresponding reduction in dairy sales.
The global food system, consumer choices and climate change are incredibly complex issues, and anyone who
proposes simple solutions is almost certainly not in possession of all the relevant facts and data. Livestock are an
important part of humanity’s future food needs.
8. Why does lab-grown food help Britain to solve the housing affordability crisis?
A. As farming is replaced by precision fermentation the level of agricultural development is improved.
,
B. The significant amount of green belts are used for development in places that people actually want to live.
C. Lab-grown food is more environmentally friendly and beneficial to human health.
D. A large amount of land used for livestock farming will be freed up for residence.
9. What lessons have learned from the promise of lab-grown meat?
A. Free-market environmentalism can change the way society operates.
B. Adjusting carbon tax can successfully solve the problem of climate change.
C. Adopting the power of innovative technologies is useful for saving the earth.
D. Saving the earth requires changing the way society operates.
10. Which of the following best explains “harnessing” underlined in paragraph 2?
A. obtain B. exploit C. inherit D. develop
11. It can be inferred from this passage that .
A. global food issue is so complex that there are no complete research data.
B. sustainability and climate change are common problems in agricultural systems.
C. some kinds of seaweed can make the amount of methane emitted by cattle ineffective.
D. the sales of substitute dairy products increased, and the sales of dairy products decreased accordingly.

In July 1915, severely tortured by his poor health, James Murray, one of the early editors of the Oxford English
第6页/共 13页
Dictionary (OED), defined one final word. After his 36 years’ dedication to the dictionary, his hard labour had taken
a toll, knowing he would not see the project complete.
The poetic quality of Murray’s final days is one of the many memorable tales in The Dictionary People.
Beginning in 1857, the OED was a huge crowdsourcing project - “the Wikipedia of the 19th century” - comprising
3, 000 people. The idea was to create a “descriptive” dictionary that tracked words’ use and meaning over time,
unlike its “prescriptive”18th-century predecessor by Samuel Johnson, which told readers how to say and use words.
Volunteers read widely, mailing in examples of how “rare, old-fashioned, new, strange” words were used. What is
surprising about this fairly random method is that it worked.
The origin story of Sarah Ogilvie’s book is almost as improbable as that of the dictionary itself. Ms Ogilvie, a
former scholar who served as an editor for the OED, went into the documents of Oxford University Press and came
across an old notebook. It had belonged to Murray and contained the names and details of the dictionary volunteers,
most of whom had previously been unknown. The Dictionary People is her work of detective scholarship, bringing
the lives behind the names to readers.
Ms Ogilvie’s book is full of intriguing stories. The presentation of the book is unconventional, too, taking its
structure from the work it describes. There are 26 alphabetical chapters, each celebrating a group of contributors
( memorably, “K” is for “kleptomaniac” people who desire to steal). This is a clever arrangement, though it sometimes
means that broader issues emerge only in pieces.
Essentially, this is a story about ordinary people. It is concrete proof of those who, to cite dictionary-helper
George Eliot, “lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs”.
12. What does the underlined expression “taken a toll” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Paid off.
B. Proved in vain.
C. Worn out the passion.
D. Had a harmful effect.
13. What can we learn about the Oxford English Dictionary?
A. It serves as an example of dictionary editing.
B. It provides precise directions for word usage.
C. It is a cooperative work of many volunteers.
D. It was edited with the help of Samuel Johnson.
14. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
第7页/共 13页
A. The story behind Sarah Ogilvie’s book.
B. The detective methods of Sarah Ogilvie.
C. Legends of the early OED editors.
D. Murray’s role in editing the OED.
15. Where is the text most probably taken from?
A. A review of a book.
B. A biography of an editor.
C. An essay on dictionary editing.
D. An introduction to a dictionary.

When it comes to going green, intention can be easier than action. Case in point: you decide to buy a T-shirt
made from 100% organic cotton, because everyone knows that organic is better for Earth. And in some ways it is;
in conventional cotton-farming, pesticides strip the soil of life. But that green label doesn’t tell the whole story. Or
the possibility that the T-shirt may have been dyed using harsh industrial chemicals, which can pollute local
groundwater. If you knew all that, would you still consider the T-shirt green? ____16____.
It’s a question that most of us are ill equipped to answer, even as the debate over what is and isn’t green
becomes all-important in a hot and crowded world. ____17____. We evolved to respond to threats that were clear
and present. That’s why, when we eat spoiled food, we get disgusted and when we see a bright light, we shut our
eyes. ____18____. Scanning the supermarket aisles, we lack the data to understand the full impact of what we
choose —and probably couldn’t make sense of the information even if we had it.
But what if we could seamlessly calculate the full lifetime effect of our actions on the earth and on our bodies?
____19____ That’s what psychologist Daniel Goleman describes in his forthcoming book, Ecological Intelligence.
Using a young science called industrial ecology, businesses and green activists alike are beginning to compile the
environmental and biological impact of our every decision—and delivering that information to consumers in a user-
friendly way. That’s thinking ecologically—understanding the global environmental consequences of our local
choices. “We can know the causes of what we’re doing, and we can know the impact of what we’re doing,” says
Goleman, who wrote the 1995 best seller Emotional Intelligence.
____20____ It’s also about our ability to accept that we live in an infinitely connected world with finite
resources. Golem an highlights the Tibetan community of Sher, where for millenniums, villagers have survived
第8页/共 13页
harsh conditions by carefully conserving every resource available to them. The Tibetans think ecologically because
they have no other choice. Neither do we. “We once had the luxury to ignore our impacts,” says Goleman. “Not
anymore.”
A. Would you still buy it?
B. What if we could think ecologically?
C. It’s going to have a radical impact on the way we do business.
D. Ecological intelligence is ultimately about more than what we buy.
E. Not just carbon footprints but social and biological footprints as well?
F. But nothing in evolution has prepared us to understand the accumulative impact industrial chemicals may have
on us.
G. That’s because our ability to make complex products with complex supply chains has outpaced our ability to
comprehend the consequences.

With Christmas approaching, I often reflect upon one particular evening in the early 1960s. Back then, we
decided to go carolling (唱圣诞颂歌) to spread the Christmas spirit which might ____21____ someone else’s life.
So we needed to take ____22____ new members, for whom the only ____23____ was warmth of spirit.
Soon we discovered that carolling brought various ____24____. Sometimes we were greeted with open doors
and open hearts, while other times, folks remained in the safety and cosiness of their homes, watching ____25____
through their windows.
One stop on our journey particularly ____26____ our memory. That night, after a couple of songs, one door
swung open. A gentleman, gray haired, tenderly ____27____we go upstairs to sing for his bedridden wife. He
added ____28____, “She loves music and used to be an opera singer.”
We stepped briskly upward into the couple’s ____29____ apartment. Books, records, and antique furniture
whispered stories to us. I reminded myself not to stare ____30____ showing disrespect to them.
Sitting beside his wife, the gentleman gave us a ____31____. Then our voices rose and lingered around their
small home. Had our voices been given extra ____32____ and beauty for this occasion? Perhaps they had.
A smile flickered on the woman’s ____33____, yet beautiful face. She snuggled her head against her
husband’s shoulder and both of them heartily enjoyed our performance. Witnessing such a heartwarming scene, we
felt it was a holy night, for we were in the ____34____ of love that was gentle and mild.
