result of a three-year project organized by The Lancet health journal.Tim Lang,a professor at Britain’s University of London.He said,“The food we eat and how we produce it decide the health of people and the planet.”Lang added,“The world’s population is expected to grow to 10 billion people by 2050.If we want to feed everyone,we all need to change what we eat and the way we eat by improving food production and reducing food waste.”So,what do you eat on the “planetary health”diet?The scientists who created the “planetary health”diet say it is largely plant-based but still has a little milk,fish and meat.The diet calls for cutting down red meat and sugar by 50 percent and increasing nuts,fruits,and vegetable.Walter Willet of Harvard University in the United States also talked about

2022-2023学年广东省广州中学高一上学期线上测试英语试题1. What’s delicious, healthy to eat and comes in various colors? Eggplant! And no, it has nothing to do with chickens! This strangely named vegetable is, however, as versatile as an egg. It can be steamed fried or baked. It can be eaten by itself or combined with meats and other vegetables. Eggplant was first grown in India during the 5th century B.C. Its popularity soon spread to China and then throughout Asia. Finally, during the Middle Ages the vegetable made its way to Europe. At that time, eggplant was not the shiny purple vegetable most people know today. Instead, it was like a white egg. Due to this egg---like appearance, eggplant got its name. In its early days, the vegetable was so bitter that people often called it a “mad apple”. This nickname sta rted because people believed its bitterness was bad for one’s health. People actually thought eggplant could cause insanity(精神错乱)and cancer.Fortunately, today people know that eggplant doesn’t cause insanity or cancer. In fact, eggplant is so healthy that it may prevent cancer. In addition, the brain and the heart benefit from this supper vegetable. Since it is high in fiber, eggplant can also improve digestion.Italy, Turkey, Egypt, China and Japan are the leading growers of eggplant in the world today. Depending on its location, eggplant may be purple, green, orange or yellow---white. And it can be as small as a tomato or as large as a cucumber. Dish diversities range from simple to complex, with all of them being delicious.Today, thousands of people are gathering in Loomis, Calif, for the 23rd annual Loomis Eggplant Festival. The main activity at the festival is eating delicious eggplant dishes. There is plenty more to do and see, though. Recipe contests, arts and crafts, performers, races and childre n’s activities all “egg---cite” festival---goers. Most people at the festival would agree---eggplant is an “egg---cellent” vegetable!1. What does the underlined word “versatile”in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A．simple in shape B．flexible in price C．diverse in size D．various incooking2. Which of the following statements about eggplants is TRUE?A．Eggplant was once misunderstood by the people for its bitterness.B．Eggplant was introduced into Europe during the 5 th century.C．Eggplant got its name for its nutrition which is as rich as an egg.D．Eggplant looks like what it used to be in color and shape.3. Eggplant is so healthy that it can ________.A．cure the cancer with certainty B．do good to digestionC．replace other vegetables D．help reduce insanity4. The diversities of eggplant reflect in many aspects EXCEPT________.A．colors B．sizes C．dishes D．nutrition5. The passage mainly tells us about ________.A．the 23 rd annual Loomis Eggplant Festival B．the general introduction of eggplantC．the origin of eggplant D．the benefit of eggplant2. All schoolchildren should have “happiness” lessons up to the age of 18 to fight growing levels of depression, according to a senior government adviser.“Pupils should study subjects such as how to manage feelings, attitudes to work and money, channeling negative emotions and even how to take a critical view of the media,” said Lord Richard Layard, a Labor peer and professor of economics at the London School of Economics.The proposal comes only days after the Government said that lessons in manners ---including respect for the elderly and how to say “please” and “thank you” --- should be taught in secondary schools to combat bad behaviors.Lord Layard, the director of the wellbeing program at the LSE’s Center for Economic Performance, said: “Learning hard things takes a large amount of practice. To play the violin well takes 10,000 hours of practice. How can we expect people to learn to be happy without large amounts of practice and repetition?”It is believed that at least two percent of British children under 12 now struggle with significant depression. Among teenagers, the figure rises to five percent. A UNICEF study involving 21 developed countries showed that British children were the least satisfied with their lives, while the World Health Organization predicts that childhood psychiatric(精神的)disorders will rise by 50 percent by 2020.In a speech at Cambridge University, Lord Layard said that the Government’s lessons in manners did not go far enough. “We need a devotion to producing a major specialism in this area, with a serious teacher training program,” he said.However, happiness lessons have been criticized by academics. Frank Furedi, a sociology professor at Kent University and author of Therapy Culture, said: “In pushing emotional literacy(素养), what some teachers are really doing is abandoning teaching. They are giving up and talking about emotions instead, so that children value all this activity more than maths, English or science. What is amazing abou t this is that time and time again, research says that it does not work.”1. What does Lord Layard think of the Government’s lessons in manners?A．They can hardly meet the special demands of education.B．They are quite enough to the special the present problem.C．They only focused on a major specialism.D．They wil probably end in failure.2.

In many countries, the two sources of heat used for cooking are natural gas or electric stoves. The World Health Organization(WHO) warns that millions of people are dying every year from indoor air pollution. The WHO finds that poor cooking, heating and lighting technologies are killing millions of people each year.Indoor air pollution results from the use of dangerous fuels and cook stoves in the home. WHO officials say nearly three billion people are unable to use clean fuels and technologies for cooking, heating and lighting. And they say more than seven million people die from exposure to indoor or outdoor air pollution each year. Of that number, the WHO says about 4.3 million people die from household air pollution given off by simple biomass(生物燃料）and coal stoves.These findings show that the home use of poisonous fuels is to blame for many of these deaths. These fuels include wood, coal, animal waste and so on. Carlos Dora is Coordinator in the WHO’ s Department of Public Health, Environmental and Social Determinants of Health. He says people should not use unprocessed coal and kerosene(煤油）fuel indoors. He says opening a window or door to let out the harmful air will not correct the situation. It will only pollute the outdoors. “New technologies and clean fuels can rid people of this problem.”The United Nations found that more than 95 percent of families in sub-Saharan Africa depend on solid fuels for cooking. It says huge populations in India, China and Latin American countries, such as Guatemala and Peru, are also at risk.Nigel Bruce is a professor of Public Health at the University of Liverpool. He says researchers are developing good stoves and other equipment to burn fuels in a more efficient way.“There are already many technologies for clean fuels available now. An effective and reasonably low-cost ethanol(酒精）stove that is made by Dometic (a Sweden-based company)is now being tested out. Another interesting development is electric induction stoves.” In India, you can buy an induction stove for about $8. And in Africa you can buy a solar lamp for less than $1.1. How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?A．By making classifications. B．By listing numbers.C．By following time order. D．By describing a process.2. According to Carlos Dora, what is the best solution to indoor air pollution?A．People should use an effective air cleaner.B．People should use new technologies and clean fuels.C．People should open a window or door to let out the harmful air.D．People should prevent themselves from being exposed to harmful air..3. What can we learn from the passage?A．Most of the deaths from indoor pollution are in developing countries.B．Burning solid fuels can help limit indoor air pollution .C．People can buy ethanol stoves made by Dometic in India.D．There are already two technologies for clean fuels available for use.4. Which would be the best title for the passage?A．The way we cook is changing.B．Cause of indoor air pollution.C．The development of electric stoves.D．Indoor air pollution kills millions each year.3. Is your doctor telling you the truth? Possibly not, according to a new survey in Health Affairs of nearly 1,900 doctors around the country.The researchers found that 55% of the doctors said that in the last year they had been more positive about a patient s prognosis (预判) than his medical history. And 10% said they had told their patient s something that wasn’t true. About a third of the doctors said they did not completely agree that they should disclose medical errors to their patients, and 40% said they didn’t feel the need to disclose financial ties to drug companies.Really? The study’s lead author, Dr. Lisa Iezzoni, a medicine professor at Harvard Medical School and director of the Mongan Institute for Health Policy at Massachusetts General Hospital, was surprised to learn how dishonest her colleagues were. “Some of the numbers were l arger than I expected they might be,” she says.Why the white lies? In some cases, Iezzoni says it was for self- protection. Nearly 20% of the doctors admitted that they didn’t disclose a medical error to their patients because they were afraid of being punished for improper treatment. In other cases, it may have been for the patient’s benefit. Some might spare an anxious patient from hearing about the slightly abnormal results of a lab test, for example, if it has no negative effect on the patient’s heal th.“After all doctors are human too,” says Iezzoni. “ They don’t want to upset their patients, they don’t want their patients to look unhappy or burst into tears. But they also need to be professionals; so they need to tell themselves that if there is a difficult truth they need to tell their patients, they need to work out a way of communicating that effectively.”That’s important for doctors to appreciate, because as well-intentioned as their lies may be, other studies consistently show that patients prefer the truth, and would rather hear unpleasant news thanremain ignorant about an awful medical condition. Being fully informed is a way that patients can prepare for whatever might occur. Therefore, it is necessary for doctors to learn to express themselves.1. About the new survey in Health Affairs, we can learn that .A．10% of the doctors admitted that they had lied to their patientsB．about half of the doctors were unwilling to disclose medical errorsC．40% of the doctors preferred to work in drug companiesD．about 30% of the doctors were positive on predicting the patients’ disease2. Some doctors surveyed tell the white lies because they .A．were trying to defend themselves B．wanted to prove they were professionals C．knew little about the patient s’ situations D．wanted the patients to spend more money 3. The author writes the text mainly to .A．report some medical errors B．talk about the needs of patientsC．persuade doctors to improve skills D．discuss the doctor-patient relationship4. 将下列几个部分(A、B、C、D和E)按题号排序，构成一个符合逻辑的完整语篇。

（共15小题，每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）AChinese New Year is a celebration marking the end of the winter season and the beginning of spring. This is why decorating rooms with plants, fruits and blooming flowers carries special significance. They represent the earth coming back to life and wishes for new beginnings. Here are some of the most popular things and their special meanings.Oranges TreesOrange trees are more than decorations; they are a symbol of good luck and wealth. They make great gifts and you see them many times decorated with red envelopes and messages of good blessings. The fruits are a lso some of the “lucky” foods, which are a must during the celebrations.BambooChinese love their “Lucky Bamboo” plants and you will see them often in their homes and offices. Certainly during the holiday period, this plant is a must. Bamboo plants and stems are used frequently in feng shui and are associated with health, abundance and a happy home. They are easy to care for and make great presents.Brunches of Plum Blossoms (梅花)The beautiful long branches covered with pink-colored buds(蓓蕾) make fantastic decorations. The plum trees are the first to flower even as snow is melting after a cold winter. They represent the promise of spring and a renewal of life.PeoniesPeonies stand for prosperity and peace and are considered as China’s national flower; they are often a subject of classical paintings. The peony is also known as the “king of flowers” and represents royalty, virtue and honor.NarcissiNarcissi flower right around Chinese New Year and are considered as a symbol of luck and wealth. Their sweet fragrance(芳香) is also highly respected in Chinese culture.1. If you are not good at growing plants, which will you probably choose?A. Bamboo.B. Plum blossoms.C. PeoniesD. Narcissi2. What is special about peony?A. Oil painters prefer painting it.B. It is usually used in feng shui.C. It bears fruits considered as lucky foods.D. It is called the “king of flowers”.3. In which section may this text appear?A. Entertainment.B. Health.C. Culture.D. Science.BTo say there are many new holiday romantic comedies made for television every year is the kind of understatement nearly like a joke. One of the reasons why they tend to be formulaic(公式化的) is that to tell a love story in roughly an hour and a half without cha llenging an audience’s settled expectations, there are only so many ways to go with the rhythm. Perhaps that’s why Netflix has better luck with Dash＆Lily, an eight-episode(八集) limited series that’s got the charm that a lot of holiday films lack.Our story begins when a lonely Lily leaves an interesting note in a book on the shelf at The Strand, hoping a stranger will start an adventure with her. Dash finds it and reads it, and he accepts its challenge. Thus begins a correspondence in which they each write down messages in the book and then leave it somewhere for the other, so that they never meet in person, but they get to send each other to their favorite places, sometimes to complete dares before the book can be found. Now, you do not want to think too carefully about this ——the idea that Lily’s hidden clue would be found by an age-appropriate straight boy who likes mysteries and looks like he was born to be her lover is the height of magic, so just stay relaxed and go with it.These eight episodes, each around 30 minutes, never drag; they fly by joyfully. The ending, as is often the case with love stories, is a little messy but worth cheering for. It’s as lovely and comfortable as you could want it, just about perfect for a weekend with a blanket over you.4. What made Dash＆Lily stand out among other films?A. Being formulaic to tell a romantic story.B. Presenting a new romantic television show.C. Attracting the audience with its typical charm.D. Satisfying the audience’s settled expectations.5. What does the underlined word “correspondence” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. Relationship between two facts.B. Communication connecting two persons.C. Reports of study sent off by post.D. Action of writing, receiving, and reading letters.6. Which of the following best describes Dash?A. Preferring reading.B. Behaving strangely.C. Acting romantically.D. Enjoying adventures.7. What is the purpose of this text?A. To introduce a charming movie.B. To recommend a holiday comedy.C. To praise the romantic director.D. To explain what makes a good film.CBuying clothes for a special event, hiding the price tickets and returning them to the store the next day has for years been the method of economical shoppers. Today people are doing it just for social media.A survey conducted by the credit card company Barclaycard revealed that nearly one in ten UK shoppers tends to buy clothing only to post photos on social media for likes. After the “outfit (装束) of the day” makes it online, they return it to the store. According to Barclaycard, the “try before you buy” policy of online retailers (零售商) --- where people pay for clothing they order online after they try it on at home --- could be contributing to this rising trend.But the rise of social media has meant that everyone, not just superstars, expects to build and maintain a personal brand. Since we’re documenting our lives and posting them online for public judgment, getting caught in the same outfits more than once should be avoided. And the cost of all those outfits of the day adds up, which makes returning a popular way.There are brands that tailor clothes specifically for social media shoppers, like Fashion Nova. “These are clothes made for social media: meant to be worn once, photographed and abandon ed,” Allison P. Davis wrote in her report about the brand.Another favorite of the social media age is Rent the Runway, which lets customers rent designer clothing for a fee.Some, however, are moving in the opposite direction. Groups promoting “work unifo rms” have increased greatly in recent years, aiming to free women from “the annoyance of clothing decisions”. The concept of the “capsule wardrobe”(胶囊衣柜), which calls for purchasing a small number of high-quality pieces instead of lots of trendy throwaway clothes, is also making a comeback.8. What does the survey by Barclaycard suggest?A. Some Britons send outfits back after shoots.B. Britons try on clothes before online purchases.C. Britons follow the fashion stars closely.D. Some Britons over-order and return clothes.9. What’s Fashion Nova’s special service?A. Renting chargeable designer clothes.B. Creating unique shopping experiences.C. Offering customers single-use clothes.D. Helping shoppers improve their clothing style.10. What’s the idea behind the “capsule wardrobe”?A. Better fewer, but better.B. Less addition, but more enjoyment.C. Less uniform, and more freedom.D. More choices, and less annoyance.11. What’s the purpose of the author to write the text?A. To compare different wearing trends.B. To criticize the “try before you buy” policy.C. To advocate buying high-quality clothes.D. To introduce Britain’s new wearing trend.DEveryone needs to be safe, loved and to have a sense of belonging. These are inborn and natural basic needs. In an effort to have these needs satisfied, many of us tend to please others. And it works for a while. We find that we experience less conflict with others, but the conflict within ourselves grows. Saying “no” produces feeling of guilt andsaying “yes” brings anger.My father was in the military, so we moved frequently. Being shy, I didn’t make friends. What’s more, I grew up in a household where grades, image and how others saw our family were very important. In our household a “C” was unacceptable, a “B” should have been an “A” and an “A” meant the lesson was too easy. I was too skinny, my sister was too fat and my brother’s lips and ears were too big for his tiny head.To stop pleasing others is easier said than done. It’s a long process, one in w hich I am consistently working to perfect. The turning point for me came shortly after I got married. The very first thing we did to end the cycle of pleasing others was develop our own identity as independent human beings and then as a couple. And then we developed a strong set of core(核心) values and a vision for our future. The third and one of the most valuable things we did during this process was develop our own personal influence on others and we valued deeply the opinions of the wiser and more successful people around us.Besides, we should understand that sometimes helping people actually hurts them. The struggle is necessary to success. The struggle strengthens character, making people determined. So sometimes allowing people to struggle is the best thing you can do for them.12. How are we likely to feel when pleasing others?A. AngryB. Satisfied.C. GuiltyD. Happy13. What can we infer from the author’s experience as a child?A. He grew up doing a lot of housework.B. It was hard for him to adapt to the moving life.C. He realized the value of opinions from others.D. His parents had great expectations of the children.14. What is the third paragraph mainly about?A. What steps the author took to go on pleasing others.B. Why the author further developed his values and character.C. How the author stepped out of the cycle of pleasing others.D. When the author turned to others for their valuable opinions.15. What does the author suggest doing?A. Helping others without delay.B. Thinking twice before offering help.C. Refusing to help others.D. Leaving someone in trouble alone.第二节七选五（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

This is due to the efficient vaccination (接种疫苗) program and strict pandemic (疫情) control measures, said Cheng Chaogong, head of a research center.According to the industrial report, as consumer confidence continues to improve, more than half of tourists want to have a family trip during the summer holiday. Also, 37.2 percent have chosen to travel with other family members. The survey result is a positive sign for the tourism market, since family travel was the main summer tourism model of previous years, the report said.Rising airfares and hotel bookings also proved people’s growing enthusiasm for traveling during the summer holiday. By the end of June, hotel bookings for the summer holiday had increased by 30 percent compared with the same period of 2020.Among the most popular destinations were Chengdu in Sichuan province, Kunming in Yunnan province, Harbin in Heilongjiang province, Shanghai and Beijing, according to the website.In addition, red tourism, which refers to the visits to historical sites with a modern revolutionary legacy (革命遗产), remained a popular choice for travelers as this year marks the 100th anniversary of the Communist Party of China.8．What does the underlined word “revival” in paragraph 1 probably mean?A．Loss.B．Challenge.C．Recovery.D．Chance. 9．Why is the tourism market expected to rise this summer?A．People are eager to get out and relax.B．The pandemic has been under control.C．People are tired of staying at home.D．The tourist industry offers various chances.10．What is the function of the figures mentioned in the text?A．To show the tourism is going to pick up.B．To prove people are fond of traveling.C．To state the pandemic has an impact on tourism.D．To predict the pandemic will come to an end soon.11．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Pandemic: not a threat anymoreB．Red tourism: a rising industryC．Changes in consumption view take placeD．Summer holiday gives tourism an upturnA recent announcement in China limits teenagers to playing video games for up to one hour a day on weekends and holidays. To make sure the restriction (规定) is followed, video platforms will need real-name recognition and facial recognition.As is reported, these measures have been welcomed by Chinese parents. The restrictions are aimed at the gaming companies, which have profited greatly at the cost of young people’s health and growth.A report compared video games to “spiritual opium” (精神鸦片) for China’s youth. They are influencing teenagers’ behavior in daily life, especially those who have not developed the proper time management skills. The way of restrictions may not be perfect, but it can send the right message to teenagers, as well as gaming companies who are using technology to drag users deeper and deeper into using their products.The gamming companies should consider developing more learning games or serious games, instead of games that serve no particular purpose other than making money. There is much we can learn from the gaming world. Learning can be a game in a way to guide students toward success if we design education programs to lead students through levels, from easy to challenging. Students should be provided opportunities to fail in a safe environment and gain valuable experience for growth. And when they have mastered a skill, they can celebrate it to feel a deep sense of satisfaction.Working in an education organization, I have noticed teachers who successfully use gaming in their courses. And I have also seen gamming companies working hard to producevaluable educational gaming tools or platforms. These tools help schools and teachers encourage students to achieve various learning goals.Education in many parts of the world is filled with ills, including the lack of purpose and efficiency. Perhaps gaming can teach us something.12．What does the underlined word “They” in paragraph 3 refer to?A．Video platforms.B．Gaming companies.C．Gaming restrictions.D．Video games. 13．What is the author’s attitude towards China’s gaming restrictions?A．Doubtful.B．Critical.C．Supportive.D．Unconcerned. 14．What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?A．Video games can be turned into teaching tools.B．All games harmful to teenagers should be forbidden.C．Teenagers should learn from online games.D．New technology is needed to help develop serious games.15．What is the author’s aim in writing the text?A．To call on teenagers to give up playing online games.B．To put forward a new way of making good use of video games.C．To inform people of the newly announced gaming restrictions.D．To draw the public attention to the bad effects of video games.二、七选五The bee population is dropping sharply. In some areas, losses of honeybees are reportedhuman and animal food chains.Few of us are research scientists and able to spare some lab time to help bees, but there are some things we can all do to assist bees.Plant things that bees like. Bees are all about pollen (花粉). If you want to support many different varieties of bees, plant some things which will feed them. The good news here is that bee-friendly plants are easy to grow. 17 Try cherry trees, orange trees and other flowering trees.18 Unlike honeybees, which live in man-made bee boxes, natural bees make use of many kinds of shelter; dead trees, branches and underground nest tunnels. You can helpwood-nesting bees by setting out a few inexpensive bee blocks.Avoid using garden pesticides (杀虫剂). Pesticides are bad for bees. 19 You’ll find plenty of tips at OrganicGardenPests. com.Support your local beekeepers. Beekeeping as a hobby has reduced in recent years. Lack of funding and changes in bee populations have made raising bees less attractive, but we still rely heavily on honeybees to pollinate our crops and gardens. 20 There are health benefits to eating local honey, and keeping small beekeepers in business is good for everyone.A．Provide bee shelter.B．Ensure a good supply of pollen.C．Flowering trees are attractive to bees.D．Bees prefer flowers that are blue, purple or yellow.E．Seek out your local beekeepers and buy their honey.F．Search for organic and natural means of pest control.G．The situation means a lot more than high honey prices.三、完形填空“Can I see my baby?” the happy new mother asked.

Here are the best ski resorts of comfort and joy during the holidays and the rest of the ski season.Kitzbühel, AustriaThe most prized downhill on the ski racing calendar, Kitzbühel also attracts a host of festive fans with its fairy lights, and performances of jazz bands. By day, you can enjoy 230 kilometers of runs over the Kitzbühel Alps, and fill up on hearty Tyrolean classic foods.Val Gardena, ItalyThis attractive valley is a New Year present waiting to be unwrapped. The three towns that make up Val Gardena—busy Ortisei, peaceful Santa Cristina and the higher Selva—traditionally go big on the festive season, combining their Italian, Austrian and Ladin heritage(遗产). The 175-kilometer skiing takes place below the towering Sassolungo mountain.Alpbach, AustriaAlpbach is often considered Austria’s prettiest village.

Equipped with a microbiology PhD and his faith, he travelled back to Africa. There, he found a continent ecologically rich, diverse and capable of producing food. He believes drought wasn’t the only reason for widespread hunger, and that sustainability had been left out.Nzamujo began designing a “zero waste” agriculture system that would not only increase food security, but also help the environment and create jobs. In 1985, he started his sustainable farm “Songhai” in the West African country of Benin.Nzamajo lives on the farm and constantly updates his techniques. He credits his degrees in science and engineering for Songhai’s success. But he also thanks his spiritual and cultural roots, and his father — a driving force in his life who encouraged him to pursue his studies to the highest degree and to use Songhai to share his knowledge.Songhai has several “eco-literacy” development programs. They range from 18-month training courses for farmer-enterprisers, to shorter stays to learn techniques like weeding. People come from all over the world to study Nzamujo’s methods.After seeing success on his first zero waste farm, he expanded throughout Benin and western Africa. Today, the Songhai model is applied across the continent, including Nigena. Uganda, Sierra Leone and Liberia, Nzamujo says they've trained more than 7.000farmer-enterprisers and more than 30, 000 people in total since it began.Nzamujo believes zero waste agriculture is now steadily tackling the issues he set out to defeat, hunger, unemployment and environmental declines. And he wants to see it go further. 4．Which factor related to famine was unnoticed in Nzamujo’s eyes?A．Poor soil.B．Water shortage.C．Lack of resources.D．Unsustainability.5．What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3?A．Introduce a solution.B．Give examples to the readers.C．Add some background information.D．Summarize the previous paragraphs. 6．How does Songhai help to ease the problem of famine?A．By offering land.B．By trading seeds.C．By educating farmers.D．By selling technology.7．Which of the following best describes Nzamujo?A．Critical and careful.B．Learned and responsible. C．Optimistic and generous.D．Considerate and ambitious.Known as a “living fossil”, the Chinese sturgeon(中华鲟)is a very precious species. It is believed to have lived alongside the dinosaurs more than 140 million years ago. Although dinosaurs are long since gone, the Chinese sturgeon still exists. However, the species has been listed as ‘‘Critically Endangered’’ on the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Red List of Threatened Species．On May 14,Shanghai legislators(立法机构)passed a new law protecting the Chinese sturgeon, emphasizing “regional cooperation”, according to China Daily. “This is the first local legislation in the country to protect one endangered fish,” said Ding Wei, director of the legislative affairs committee of the Shanghai Municipal People’s Congress.Taken effect on June 6, the regulation urges cooperation in law enforcement(实施), scientific research and rescue of the species between Shanghai and other provinces and regions in the Yangtze River basin, according to People’s Daily．The need for collaborative efforts is due to the living habitat of the Chinese sturgeon. As an anadromous(溯河产卵的)species, it mainly lives in the Yangtze River and depends on the Vangtze estuary(河口)for migration.The protection of the Chinese sturgeon is urgent. China began the artificial breeding and release of the fish in 1984. However, very few of the fanned fish have survived in the wild, the number of which is less than 1000, according to a report by the Shanghai Observer.Whether this species can be preserved depends on the natural population. “If the natural population is not well protected, the Chinese sturgeon is in danger of extinction.” Li Furong, vice chairperson of the Agricultural and Rural Affairs Committee of Shanghai Municipal People’s Congress, said in the report.Since Jan 1 of this year, a 10-year fishing ban on key areas of the Yangtze River basin has been issued, covering 332 nature reserves, which includes Shanghai’s Chinese sturgeon nature reserve．8．What is the new law passed on May 14 in Shanghai about?A．Forbidding fishing in the area.B．Protecting the Chinese sturgeon.C．Increasing the reproduction of the Chinese sturgeon.D．Listing the Chinese sturgeon as an endangered species.9．What do we know about the Chinese sturgeon?A．It mainly lives in the waters of Shanghai.B．Artificial breeding technology costs too much.C．Farmed fish multiplies quickly.D．Saving the species depends on protecting their natural population.10．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “collaborative” in paragraph 4? A．immediate B．joint C．urgent D．further 11．What’s the best title of the passage?A．The Chinese Sturgeon: Living FossilB．Artificial Breeding: Future of the Chinese SturgeonC．A New Law for a FishD．Call for Conservation of the Chinese SturgeonAn individual from an unknown hominid (原始人类) species walked across a field of wet, volcanic ash in what is now East Africa around 3.66 million years ago, leaving behind a handful of footprints.Those five ancient footprints, largely ignored since they were partly unearthed at Tanzania’s Laetoli site in 1976, show features of upright walking by a hominid, a new study finds. Researchers had previously considered them hard to classify, possibly produced by a young bear that took a few steps while standing. But the latest analysis refutes that suggestion.McNutt, DeSilva, who started the new investigation as a Dartmouth College graduate student, and their colleagues fully dug out and cleaned the five Laetoli footprints in June 2019. Then they measured, photographed and 3-D scanned the ancient tracks. McNutt’s group focused on two footprints that were particularly well-preserved. Foot shapes, sizes, and walking characteristics of the Laetoli individual differed in various ways from those of other hominid individuals at the same site. The prints also didn’t match those from modem black bears and modem chimps (黑猩猩) walking upright.The Laetoli individual possessed a wider, more chimplike foot than humans, the researchers say. Its big toe stuck out slightly from the second toe (脚趾), but not to the degreeobserved in chimps. On one step, the Laetoli individual’s left leg crossed in front of the right leg, leaving a left footprint directly in front of the previous track. People may cross-step in this way when trying to regain balance. And bears and chimps assume a relatively wide standing due to knee and other bone arrangements that prevent them from walking like the Laetoli individual and probably from cross-stepping, the scientists say.Given that only two of the ancient footprints are complete enough to analyze thoroughly, the possibility that a chimp other than a hominid made the Laetoli footprints can’t be ruled out, says William Harcourt Smith, a scientist at Lehman College. But evidence ofcross-stepping is enough to prove that it was a hominid track maker, he says.12．What does the underlined word “refutes” in Paragraph 2 mean?A．Objects to.B．Supports.C．Puts forward.D．Criticizes. 13．Why do researchers think the footprints were unlike those of bears or chimps?A．They are less chimplike.B．They have toes sticking out.C．They show relatively wide standing.D．They possess features of cross-stepping. 14．What does William think of the new research finding?A．It’s convincing.B．It’s challenging.C．It’s confusing.D．It’s conflicting.15．What is the purpose of the text?A．To describe a major event.B．To share a new discovery.C．To introduce an unknown species.D．To settle a huge disagreement.二、七选五Now I live in Paris. Actually, I don’t mind the food or the people, but I do care about the land that is extraordinarily lack of characteristics of hiking. I enjoy being outdoors and hiking, but Paris’s natural resources don’t hold much potential for my bent. So when my dad asked ifoptimistic.We started our main hike up Flattop Mountain. As we hiked it was much more challenging than I expected.____17____. The path is winding and we saw mountains towering over the green valleys and cliffs that seemed endless. What amazed me most was that thick clouds enveloped the mountainsides.____18____.I stared up at the top to see how much farther we had to go and I began to worry that I wouldn’t finish it. ____19____. It made me doubtful about my persistence (坚持). But when we looked back at the path that faded in the distance, I was filled with fulfillment with seeing how much we had done.As I was hiking, I started to reflect on how hiking was similar to other aspects of my life.____20____. It reminded me of my struggles in my classes and the difficulties I had to overcome. I spotted that the process of learning isn’t always the most fun, but the fulfillment after seeing how much I had finished just increases the thirst for knowledge, causing me to long for more learning. Looking down at the mountain I was content but never fully satisfied. Having considered a lot, I was determined to pursue the summit (山顶).A．Hiking could make me fly.B．Hiking gave time for my mind to wander.C．I thought I would finish the journey with ease.D．But I was shocked at the beauty surrounding me.E．I was satisfied with the landscape along the way.F．It was unlike anything I had ever witnessed before.G．A recent ankle injury had left me unsure of my physical capabilities.三、完形填空Savanna Lorpu Karmue, 11, is a student, author, activist, and possibly one of our next great cardiologists (心脏病学家).

"Since studying an instrument requires years of practice and learning，it may create connections in the brain that could make up for cognitive drop as we get older.""Music-making is connected to a number of health benefits for older adults，"said Suzanne Hanser，chair of themusic treatment department at the Berklee College of Music in Boston."Research shows that making music can lower blood pressure，slow heart rate，reduce stress，and ease anxiety.There is also increasing evidence that making music enhances the immunological（免疫）response，which enables us to fight diseases，" Hanser said.Hanser said that anyone，without considering age or ability，can make music and benefit from it. "People are not only living longer these days；they want to remain healthy and active for as long as possible，"said Antoinette Follett，editor-in-chief of "Making Music"magazine. "Plus，there is an increasing focus in the medical community on the need to keep the brain as healthy as the body.This focus is as much about making the empty nest and retirement years fun and worthwhile as it is about preventing debilitating dementias（衰弱性痴呆） such as Alzheimer's disease.Music making is able to do both."8.Among 4 health y adults below，who might perform better in the cognitive tests？______A.

Health.DA drought is a period of time when an area or region experiences below-normal rainfall.The lack of enough rainfall，either rain or snow，can cause reduced soil wetness or groundwater，diminished stream flow（减少的水流），crop loss，and a general water shortage.Droughts are the second-most costly weather events after hurricanes.The early effects of a drought may be difficult to identify right away，so it may take weeks or months to determinethat a drought has started.The end of a drought is hard to identify for the same reason.A drought may last for weeks，months，or even years.Sometimes，drought conditions can exist for ten years or more in a region.The longer a drought lasts，the greater the harmful effects it has on people.Droughts affect people in several ways.Clean drinking water is significant for all life，and sources of water may narrow during a drought.Without the presence of water，people must bring in enough water from elsewhere to survive.Water is also needed for crops to grow.When not enough rain falls to naturally water crops，they must be watered by irrigation（灌溉）.Irrigation is possible only when there is enough water in nearby rivers，lakes，or streams，or from groundwater.During a drought，these water sources are diminished and may even dry up，preventing crops from being irrigated and causing them to die off.One person studying these problems is Alexandra Cousteau，a National Geographic Emerging Explorer whose latest plan is Blue Legacy.She started Blue Legacy to raise awareness that we live on a water planet and must take care of it.Cousteau，the granddaughter of the well-known ocean explorer Jacques Cousteau，believes that water will be a key issue in this century.She predicts that water problems such as drought，storms，floods，and degraded water quality will create "water refugees"，people moving in search of water.Cousteau stresses that we must do all we can to protect Earth's valuable freshwater resources.12.What is the function of the first paragraph？______A. To introduce what a drought is.B. To compare droughts with hurricanes.C. To explain why a drought occurs.D. To raise awareness of some disasters.13.Among all disasters，what is special about droughts？______A. They cause the greatest harms.B. They are hard to spot in no time.C. They usually end for no reason.D. They influence people's living.14.What does the third paragraph mainly tell us？______A. Crops cannot grow without water.B. Irrigation is impossible during a drought.C. There are many ways to prevent droughts.D. Droughts influence living and agriculture.15.Why is "water refugees"mentioned in the last paragraph？______A. To popularize Blue Legacy.B. To tell we live on a water planet.C. To persuade people to look for water.D. To stress the importance of water resource.二、阅读七选五：本大题共5小题，共12.5分。
