But for penguins, they cannot get a taste of this happiness. That’sbecause penguins can’t actually taste the delicious flavors (味道) of their favoritefood–fish!Scientists from the University of Michigan examined the genome (基因组) offive species of penguins. They found that not one can taste umami (鲜味), the flavor of meat or fish, the BBCreported.Many animals have five basic tastes: sweet, sour (酸), salty, bitter (苦) and umami. But according to genetic(遗传的) data, penguins are believed to have only sour and salty tastes.These findings are surprising and puzzling. And scientists don’t have a good explanation (解释) for them.But they have a few ideas.First, one of the umami genes doesn’t work in cold temperatures. “It’s about zero degrees when they eatcold fish,” Zhang Jianzhi, the lead scientist, told the Daily Mail, so even if the penguins had a functional (功能的) gene, it might not work when they needed it.Plus, penguins’ tongues are very special which may have something to do with their lack of taste. Instead ofbeing covered with taste buds (味蕾) which help to taste food, penguins’ tongues are extremely spiky (钉子似的). This is better for them to hold slippery (滑的) fish than tasting them. One study even showed that sometypes of penguins don’t even have taste buds.However, penguins seem to be managing just fine.“Their behavior of swallowing food whole, and their tongue structure and function, suggest that penguinsneed no taste perception (感知能力),” said Zhang.children love, and delicious dishes like sour and spicy shredded potatoes (酸辣土豆丝). And now they are becoming more important in the Chinese diet.A program to add potatoes to China’s list of food staples (主食), joining rice, wheat and corn, will improve the Chinese menu and meet growing food demands, the Ministry of Agriculture said at a meeting on Jan 6.Potato starch (淀粉) will first be mixed into bread, steamed buns andnoodles to suit Chinese tastes. Then it will be made into potato cakes, cookies and zongzi. By 2020, the land used for growing potatoes will have increased from the current 5 million hectares (公顷) to 10 million, and 50 percent of the potatoes produced in China will be eaten here as a staple.The move comes at a time when China faces challenges in food security and nutrition (营养). China is home to 21 percent of the world’s population, more than 100 million of whom do not have proper nutrition, according to China Daily.As an environmentally friendly crop, potatoes are a food that can make the grain (谷物) supply (供应) safer while harming the environment less. Potatoes need less water to grow, can grow better in dry weather, and grow well on barren (贫瘠的) land. Also, potato flour can be stored for over 15 years, compared with 1 year for rice and 3 years for wheat, said Beijing News.But the real value of potatoes comes from nutrition. Called “the second bread”, potatoes contain most of the vitamins people need.“Potatoes are low in fat and calories, but have high-quality protein (蛋白质). These are what people are looking for in a healthy diet,” Liu Shaowei, professor at East China University of Science and Technology, told the Shanghai Morning Post.However, Chinese people have not yet accepted potatoes as a staple food. According to an online survey done by Foshan Daily in January, more than 90 percent of respondents (受调查者) didn’t treat potatoes as a staple. That’s because traditional Chinese cooking uses boiling and steaming a lot when it comes to grain, while potatoes are cooked differently. But potatoes are popular in cultures worldwide.One typical potato dish in Ireland is the boxty pancake. It contains mashed (捣碎的) and grated (搓碎的) potatoes, making it part pancake, part hash brown (煎土豆饼). People in the UK like jacket potatoes, which are baked potatoes with vegetables and cheese on top. In the US, French fries and hash browns are often found in American fast food chains (连锁店) and cafeterias. 1._____________ 2._______________ 3.______________ 4.______________ 5._____________6._____________7._______________8.______________9.______________ 10._____________四、短文填空（本题共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）Give happiness to feel it backOnce a group of 50 people was attending a seminar (研讨会). Halfway through his talk, the speaker s 1 and decided to create a group activity. He wentaround the hall and gave each person a balloon (气球).

It was chaos (混乱).At the end of the five m 6 no one could find their own balloon.Now each person was asked to randomly (随便地) collect a balloon and give it to the person whose name was written on it.Within two minutes everyone had their o 7 balloon. When everyone quieted down, the speaker began to t 8 , saying that this is exactly what was happening in our lives.

We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly, my mother will push the conversation into World War 3. She’ll talk about my not very bright future because I don't plan to be a doctor, and much to her disappointment(失望), I don't want to do any job related to science, either. In fact when I was pushed to say that I planned to major(主修) in English and communication, she nearly had a heart attack.“Why can’t you be like my co-worker’s(同事) son?” she bemoans all the time. Her co-worker’s son received a four-year scholarship and is now making 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer. I don’t know what to answer except that I just can’t be like Mr. Perfect as I’ve called the unnamed co-worker’s son. I can't be like him. I am the type of the person who loves to help out in the community, write until the sun goes down, and most of all, wants to achieve a career because I love it, not because of honor(荣誉) or money.I understand why my mother is worried about my future major. I’ve seen my mother struggle(挣扎) to raise me on her little money and work long hours. She leaves the house around 6:30 am. And usually comes home around 5 pm. or even 6 pm. However, I want her to know that if I become a doctor, it doesn't mean I’ll be successful. I’d rather follow my dreams and create my own future.36. Which of the following topics do the writer and his mother often talk about?A. the writer’s studiesB. wars around the worldC. dinner plansD. the writer’s further job37.

The underlined word “bemoans”, in Paragraph 2 most probably means“_______”.A. 称赞B. 大喊C. 安慰D. 抱怨39. Which of the following statements is probably TRUE about the writer?A. He wants to be like his mother’s co-worker’s son.B. He wants to find a job in his community in the future.C. He wants to do something he really likes in the future.D. He doesn’t think his mother’s co-worker’s son is perfect.40. We can know from the last paragraph that______.A. the writer's mother works very hard for the familyB. the writer doesn’t know what his future will be likeC. the writer doesn’t think being a doctor is a good jobD. the writer sometimes thinks his mother’s advice is very goodCEverybody knows that Earth spins from west to east. That is to say, it appears to be spinning counterclockwise(逆时针) when viewed from above the North Pole.But what if Earth started spinning the other way?Scientists from Germany have made a computer simulation(模拟) in which Earth spins in the opposite direction –clockwise when viewed from above the North Pole. This showed them some interesting things about the weather and topography (地形地貌) on Earth, Live Science reported.As Earth spins in a counterclockwise direction, it shapes ocean currents(洋流). The direction of the spin, together with wind, produces different weather around the globe(全球).But a backwards(逆向的) spin changes the ocean currents and winds. Therefore, the climate(气候) is different. Western areas of continents(大陆) on Earth cool down as the eastern parts warm up. Winters become even colder in northwestern Europe, while eastern Russia becomes warmer than before. Rain no longer falls on the planet’s wettest places.Another result of a backward spin is that Earth becomes greener. Scientists found that global desert(沙漠) coverage(范围) shrank(缩小) from 42 million square kilometers to 31 million square kilometers. This may have something to do with the changing climate.Therefore, you can see lush(郁郁葱葱的), green landscapes from Central Africa to the Middle East, which are mostly covered by deserts now. More surprisingly, the Sahara Desert becomes an oasis(绿洲).___________. They just appear in some places that they never appeared in before. Deserts would cover North America, where countries like the United States and Canada lie. Sanddunes(沙丘) would replace the Amazon rainforest in South America.A backward spin would keep the major characteristics of Earth’s topography, such as the size, shapes and positions of continents and oceans. But it would also change the interactions between circulating(环流) air, ocean and topography, lead scientist Florian Ziemen told Live Science.41. What condition did the German scientists use for the simulation?A. Earth spins from east to west.B. Earth spins from west to east.C. The North Pole is turned upside down.D. Earth moves around the South Pole.42. Why would the climate be different if Earth spins backwards?A. Because there won’t be any more large oceans.B. Because the ocean currents and winds will be changed.C. Because it will change the amount of sunlight that Earth can receive.D. Because Earth will become greener without deserts.43. What will a backwards spin bring to the Earth?A. Winters will become colder.B. No rain will fall in summer.C. Eastern Russia will become warmer.D. The Sahara Desert will become smaller.44. The story tells us that _____.A. Earth used to spin in the opposite directionB. a backwards spin would cause interesting changes on EarthC. global desert coverage has been shrinking(缩小)D. a backwards spin would change Earth’s t opography completely45. Which of the following sentences can be put at the beginning of the eighth paragraph?A. Sadly, deserts would cover North America.B. Luckily, deserts would disappear.C. Anyway, deserts would replace the Amazon rainforest.D. However, deserts don’t disappear.第二部分非选择题（共60分）四、阅读表达(10分)阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容回答问题。

Many of the guests flew planes. “I must have expressed some yearning (渴望),” she says, because someone told her, “You should join the flying club!” The next day, Narayanswami, who was 57 at the time, arranged to meet a coach.I said, “Am I too old?” He said, “We‟ve got students in their 80s.”Narayanswami grew up in Southhall, west London, and at grammar school suffered terrible racist bullying (种族歧视). The library provided shelter (庇护) for her. But as she reached her late teens, she felt family stress for an arranged marriage. “I‟m really against it,” she says. “But I want to be an astronaut! My mother made a promise, …If you get an education, we will not look for a husband for you.‟ ” ① Narayanswami studied biology at Leicester University, then did a PhD (博士) at St. Andrew.After that, she did postdoctoral(博士后) research at the University of California. “Ididn‟t feel I would be able to get away unless I did that.” she says. ② In 2020, aged 64, Narayanswami finished 423 flight hours she needed to get her pilot‟s licence. Then she sent applica tions to NASA‟s astronaut companies, but was always refused politely.Even now, at 67, she says, “I haven‟t been able to find out how to deal with it. It doesn‟t go away.”③Flying has helped her out. It offers a different view. “I can see eagles, bears and mountain lions. I love the beauty of the clouds. They are like hills, but huger than our hills.” she says. New possibilities have appeared—Narayanswami chairs(担任主席) the board of the Ceneral Aviation Awards in the US. She is comfortable with this new job, but she still finds flying relaxing. She says, “In flight, I‟m part of a huge network of people who are communicating by radio. There is no sense of skin colour. We are all tied together by our voices.” ④36．How did the coach‟s words sound to Narayansw ami in Paragraph 1?A．Worrying. B．Interesting.C．Encouraging. D．Boring.37．What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 3 refer to(指)?A．Accepting a marriage.B．Receiving an education.C．Keeping a distance.D．Making a promise.38．How old was Narayansw ami when she got her pilot‟s licence?A．57 years old. B．64 years old.C．67 years old. D．82 years old.39．The sentence “The racist bullying she received as a child has formed a very long shadow(阴影),” should be put in ________.A．①B．②C．③D．④40．What does flying bring to Narayanswami?A．A different view of life.B．A good way of travelling.C．A rich knowledge of wild life.D．An excellent ability of study.When you eat something, your stomach breaks down its large molecules(分子) into smaller ones. Many people like to eat pineapples(菠萝). So when you eat pineapples, they can “eat” you by breaking down the molecules in your body. Pineapples have certain enzymes (酶) that can break down proteins (蛋白质). Many smaller molecules like the pearls(珍珠) come together to form the long pearl necklace of a protein. You can cut a necklace with scissors. In the same way, the enzymes in pineapples “cut up” proteins.All living things have proteins. They are an important part of the cells (细胞) in your body. If an enzyme can break down a protein, it can break down cells as well. So will the cells of your tongue (舌头) when you eat pineapple. This is why your mouth will hurt if you eat too much pineapple.But luckily, the cells in your tongue cure itself fast. And after you have swallowed the pineapple, the special enzymes will be broken down by your stomach. It won‟t “eat” you any more.Why does pineapple have these enzymes? Some scientists believe that they are created by the pineapple to prevent animals from eating its fruits before they are ripe (成熟的). Once the fruit is ripe, its enzymes won‟t hurt an animal‟s tongue and the fruit will be okay to eat.Another reason is that the enzymes help the seed (种子) to grow up. They play an important role in sending messages to the cells of the plant. These messages tell the cells when to start and stop growing. Without these enzymes, the seed may not be able to properly develop.41．In Paragraph 1, the enzymes in pineapples are compared to (被比作) ________. A．scissors B．necklacesC．proteins D．pearls42．The underlined word “swallowed” in Paragraph 3 can be put in Sentence ________. A．The meat went bad so he it out after he tasted it.B．This kind of pill should be whole, with some warm water.C．The blackboard should be by the students on duty before class.D．The stars from behind the clouds, shining directly into my house.43．According to the passage, what can be put in the blank “ ” to complete the following mind map?A．When pineapple “beats” stomachB．What the important body part isC．Why pineapples have the enzymesD．When people eat an pineapple44．What can we infer (推论) from the passage?A．Proteins are the most important role in body.B．Some fruits have certain self-protection skills.C．Pineapples are not healthy fruits.D．Enzymes are harmful to pineapples.45．What is the best title for the passage?A．Do You Eat Pineapples? B．How Pineapples Grow up?C．Why Pineapples Are Delicious? D．Can Pineapples “Eat” You?四、阅读填表ChineseDancerinLondonMa Jiaolong, a Chinese dancer, started to learn classical Chinese dance at 12. “I was deeply attracted by the dancers who play ancient heroes through the movements of classical Chinese dance when I was very young,” said Ma. Later, Ma studied at the Beijing Dance Academy. Since he graduated, he has taught classical Chinese dance at Goldsmiths, University of London for four years.In his free time, he often goes to parks or some other tourist attractions. There, he wears black clothes and jumps high into the air. Before he lands, he strikes(摆出) a pose. Sometimes, he carries a red fan. With long white sleeves, he spreads his arms like wings. He is performing(表演) classical Chinese dance. It mixes martial arts(武术) movements with those of traditional Chinese opera.Since 2020, he has ma de short videos of himself dancing in London.
