Something less well-known, though, is that fake news has also become a topic of scientific investigation.In a paper published in March in the journal Science, David Lazer, Matthew Baum and 14 co-authors consider what we do and don’t know about the science of fake news.They define fake news as “made-up information that imitates news in form but not in process or intention”.The paper makes a persuasive case that the investigation of fake news is timely and important. One conservative (保守的) estimate is that in the month before the 2016 election, the average American was exposed to somewhere between one and three articles from a known publisher of fake news. Another alarming result is that when it comes to political topics, tweets containing false information spread more rapidly and broadly on Twitter than those containing reliable information.Researchers mentioned in the paper that in the face of fake news and its spreading by social and other forms of media, “A new system of safeguards is needed.” But what kinds of safeguards can individual news consumers put into place? The simplistic answer is “be more reflective”. Don’ t believe everything you read, but consider the possibility that it’s false. We need to foster standards of discussion in which it’s OK to challenge what others say without the conversation immediately turning into abuse. The most effective lab meetings are like that: If someone disagrees with the presenter, they say so in a polite way. And by doing so, they might be saving the presenter from embarrassment in a more public forum. A community that encourages individuals to point out when statements are false or unclear benefits everybody by helping detect the truth.In the long run, the truth will win out. Our preferred society encourages the truth to win out before great damage is done.8．What can we infer from the third paragraph?A．The investigation proved fake news is persuasive.B．The spread of fake news has become an alarming issue.C．The use of social media might help fake news to spread.D．Fake news on political topics received more attention.9．What safeguard is suggested to individuals according to the passage?A．Reflecting on what you read.B．Neglecting the false information.C．Challenging what others say.D．Helping others detect the truth. 10．What is the author’s attitude to the future of news?A．Skeptical.B．Unclear.C．Indifferent.D．Optimistic. 11．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A．Do Not Believe in Everything B．The Truth Will Finally Win OutC．The Truth About Fake News D．The Spreading of Fake NewsAs students return to school this fall, many of them- perhaps especially those from historically disadvantaged student groups- will be starting the academic year with achievement levels lower than where they were at the beginning of summer break.

They found success in America, however, in computers and engineering. In part because of their own experiences, Ma's parents hoped he would study to become an engineer or a doctor. They wanted financial security for their child.Growing up, Ma considered many professions — writer, fireman, even president. Ma did well in math and science classes in high school. And he ended up choosing to study electrical engineering in college. Several engineering jobs later, though, Ma had a change of heart. He wanted to leave the engineering world behind and enter the restaurant business. It was in his blood. After all, his parents had owned a Chinese restaurant in Arkansas. His parents could not understand why he would want to leave such a good job to open a restaurant.He wanted to study the fundamentals of cooking so that he could work as a chef in his own restaurant. Ma enrolled at the International Culinary Center in New York, where he receivedtraining in French cooking. “I have never cooked through my entire life up until this point.” Ma soon learned that he enjoyed cooking and he discovered it was similar to engineering. “Professional cooking is consistency, efficiency, cleanliness and it's all about the process of things which you know my background in engineering was. ”In 2009, Ma opened his first restaurant in Virginia. His long hours paid off. Ma opened his fourth restaurant last year in Washington, D．C．He mixes his training in French cooking with his Chinese heritage to create new dishes. “I think in this country you can create your own success, just by working hard. Not because you're smarter than anybody, just by working hard. And that's why a lot of people end up coming to America.”4．Why did Tim Ma's parents expect him to be an engineer or a doctor?A．Because he can have enough money to support himself.B．Because they wanted him to achieve their unfinished dream.C．Because he has a great interest in math and science.D．Because these two jobs both have high social statues.5．What was Ma's parents' attitude towards his job changing?A．Supportive. B．Unfavorable.C．Neutral. D．Skeptical.6．What does Tim Ma think about cooking?A．It is something like engineering.B．Cooking is all about cleaning.C．You have to do the work consistently.D．Efficiency is important in cooking.7．Which of the following best describes Tim Ma?A．Humorous and athletic.B．Hard-working and determined.C．Fashionable and aggressive.D．Stubborn and devoted.Anyone caring about their health will be able to speak out a few of the major vitamins, and possibly take an educated guess at what they do. Vitamin C, found in oranges and other fruit and vegetables, is important for wound repair. And the much-talked-about “sunshine” vitamin D, produced by the skin in response to UV light, is essential for strong bones.But what about vitamin P? It might well have you scratching your head. And that's not surprising: the term was first coined in the 1930s to describe a small group of compounds that provide pigment (天然色素) to plants, and were believed to have health benefits. A century later, these compounds are now better known as flavonoids (类黄酮)．Today, scientists have identified between 4,000 and 6,000 different kinds and we now know they are responsible for many of the flavors and smells of fruit and vegetables and also that they protect them from invaders such as pests and bacteria.They are equally important nutrients for the body, helping maintain bones and teeth, and for the production of the protein collagen (胶原), which provides structure to blood vessels, muscles and skin.They are also said to help the body deal with some of the key drivers of illness, including oxidation (氧化), a natural process by which the body's cells age and can become damaged and defective. That means they could help to protect against chronic diseases including cancer and heart disease.8．What do we know about vitamin P?A．We would scratch our head if we took it.B．It refers to the compounds also called flavonoids.C．It was made into a coin in the 1930s.D．People didn't think it beneficial in the past.9．Which is NOT the function of vitamin P for humans according to the passage? A．Helping maintain bones and teeth.B．Assisting in producing protein collagen.C．Accelerating the circulation of the blood.D．Aiding the body to handle the main factors of illness.10．Which of the following best explains “defective” underlined in the last paragraph? A．Harmful. B．Discouraged.C．Vague. D．Deficient.11．How does vitamin P help slow the aging process?A．By fighting against oxidation. B．By maintaining bones.C．By strengthening muscles. D．By protecting against chronic diseases.Blue Planet II's latest episode (情节) focuses on how plastic is having a destructive effecton the ocean and slowly poisoning our sea creatures. Researchers recently also found that sea creatures living in the deepest place on Earth, the Mariana Trench, have plastic in their stomachs. Indeed, oceans are drowning in plastic.Though it seems that the world couldn't possibly function without plastics, plastics are a remarkably recent invention. The first plastic bags were introduced in the 1950s, the same decade that plastic packaging began gaining popularity in the United States. This growth has happened so fast that science is still catching up with the change. Plastics pollution research, for instance, is still a very early science.We put all these plastics into the environment, but we still don't really know what the outcomes are going to be. What we do know, though, is disturbing. Ocean plastic is estimated to kill millions of marine animals every year. Nearly 700 species, including endangered ones, are known to have been affected by it. One in three leatherback turtles, which often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish, have been found with plastic in their bellies. Ninety percent of seabirds are now eating plastics on a regular basis. By 2050, that figure is expected to rise to 100 percent.And it's not just wildlife that is threatened by the plastics in our seas. Humans are consuming plastics through the seafood we eat. I could understand why some people see ocean plastic as a disaster, worth mentioning in the same breath as climate change. But ocean plastic is not as complicated as climate change. There are no ocean trash deniers (否认者), at least so far. To do something about it, we don't have to remake our planet energy system.This is not a problem where we don' t know what the solution is. We know how to pick up garbage. Anyone can do it. We know how to deal with it. We know how to recycle. We can all start by thinking twice before we use single-use plastic products. Things that may seem ordinary, like using a reusable bottle or a reusable bag-when taken collectively, these choices really do make a difference.12．Why is plastics pollution research still a very early science?A．The plastics pollution research is too difficult.B．Plastics have produced less pollution than coal.C．Plastics have gained popularity too fast for science to catch up.D．The world couldn't possibly function without plastics.13．How did the author support his opinion in Paragraph 3?A．By citing quotes from leading experts. B．By making a comparison and contrast.C．By listing examples from his own experience. D．By presenting solid statistics. 14．What does the author intend to tell us in the last paragraph?A．We reap what we sow. B．The shortest answer is doing.C．All things are difficult before they are easy. D．Actions speak louder than words. 15．What is the main idea of the passage?A．The oceans become choked with plastic. B．Ocean plastic is a global issue. C．Blue Planet II has left viewers heartbroken. D．Plastics gain in popularity all over the world.二、完形填空People keep organizing massive thousand person hide-and-seek games at Ikea (宜家) though it has 16 asked people not to play in its stores.The first evidence of this 17 dates back to 2014, when a Belgian blogger named Elise De Rijck coordinated a hide-and-seek meet up at her local Ikea store to celebrate her 30th birthday. She 18 a Facebook group and invited her friends — but soon, thousands of people joined the group. Ikea Belgium got 19 of the plan and instead of 20 it, offered Ikea's full support, including 21 staff and security to host the event. From the photos that still 22 online, the event was a 23 , filled with people hiding under bins and beds all over the store.For Ikea, it was a(n) 24 thing. The company soon 25 similar Facebook groups organizing games and asked them to disband, noting 26 risks. And for good reason: Ikea is full of heavy furniture and forklifts (叉车).Just this week, authorities in Glasgow 27 a new plan for a 3,000-person game in the Scottish city's Ikea store. Employees at the local Ikea 28 the plan on Facebook and called the police, who turned away the 29 gamesters. An Ikea spokesperson told The Scotsman, “We need to make sure people are safe, and that's hard if we don't know where they are.”Ikea's prohibition on hide-and-seek 30 . But at the same time, it's hard not to see the phenomenon as a potential 31 for the company, which has been working 32 to reinvent itself, rethinking its store designs and opening smaller urban stores that are really just a 33 for digital orders. It probably truly isn't safe to play guerilla-style games at astore that sells heavy furniture. Then again, Ikea has thousands of people 34 about driving to the very suburban box stores that wants people to visit.

The country has strictlaws against ride sharing, and its unemployment rate is at 2.4 percent, making a tight job market. With a growing demand for food delivery, more of the elderly population has applied to become couriers.“The elderly are actually signing up for Eats couriers,” Khosrowshahi said. “Eats has been a huge success for us in Japan. 37．.” In Japan, the majority of current food deliverers bring the product via scooter or bicycle, but the older generation of applicants prefer to do it by foot. 38．; adult diapers (尿布) outsell baby diapers. “This is one area unique to Japan, and we are looking if we can expand to the rest of the world,” Khosrowshahi said.That plan includes increasing staffing levels in Japan by at least 30 percent over the next year, and these jobs aren't limited to grannies in sneakers. 39．. It's still a slow pace considering the San Francisco-based company has more than 22,000 employees.Uber currently works with eight taxi cab companies in Japan, and the pedestrian courier method is a way to branch out into areas untouched so far. There are cab-hailing apps available, as well as Uber Black, a car-hire service that's only available in Tokyo for now. “It will take time, but we like what we see in terms of the potential of the market” Khosrowshahi said. “40．.”A．The population is agingB．They also include sales, operations and account managementC．It is going to be a very effective introduction to the Uber brandD．Last year, Uber shifted to partnerships with local taxi companiesE．Japan is a growing nation for food-delivery-still way far behind the USF．But putting grandma and grandpa in running shoes seems to make senseG．The innovations that we are going to make here are going to carry around the world四、语法填空阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

湖南省湖南师范大学附属中学2023-2024学年高三上学期月考（二）英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Top Chinese Restaurants in the Greater Seattle AreaDumpling GenerationAs the name implies, baskets of steamed dumplings are the move here. The wrappers are hand-rolled—not too thin or thick—and the fillings are savory and juicy. Ifyou prefer a strong taste, get the dumplings that include Chinese chives (韭菜), which have large, flat leaves that aren’t afraid to announce their presence.Xi’an NoodlesBiang biang noodles take their name from the satisfying sound you hear when chefs slap dough (面团) on the counter. The impact creates the specialty noodles of the northwest Chinese city of Xi’an. These chewy, hand-ripped noodles center in most dishes on the menu. Order them as a soup,or as a bowl tossed with spicy cumin (孜然) lamb or just some chili hot oil.Friendship BBQThe Northeastern-Chinese-style grilled baroque restaurant is actually the Seattle branch of a New York-based chain. Meats and seafood come coated in a cumin-forward seasoning with your choice of spice level. Don’t miss the side dishes, including the garlic eggplant, which is roasted until the flesh is covered with a garlic sauce. Despite its authentic taste, you’ll constantly be wowed by its cool new recipes. That’s probably what sets it apart in the Chinese food scene.Imperial GardenThe dim sum menu contains all the favorites and any extras make great takeaway. But Imperial Garden’s star remains the Peking Roast Duck—shaved pieces of meat topped with long narrow pieces of shiny duck skin,served with steamed pancakes. While the restaurant uses white tablecloths and is spacious enough to accommodate large banquets, the vibe (氛围) isn’t formal.1．What do Dumpling Generation and Xi’an Noodles have in common?A．Steamed foods.B．Plain taste.C．Handmade dishes.D．Northwestern origin.2．How is Friendship BBQ different from other Chinese restaurants?A．It’s not locally owned.B．It has innovative spirit.C．It features roasted dishes.D．It has casual atmosphere.3．If you plan to organize a grand family gathering, which is the most suitable place?A．Imperial Garden.B．Dumpling Generation.C．Friendship BBQ.D．Xi’an Noodles.Located among the forests where eagles fly overhead, Jabal Sawda has long been one of Saudi Arabia’s best places for mountaineers. At 2,999m, Jabal Sawda had been considered the kingdom’s highest peak until twin mountaineers, Matthew and Eric Gilbertson, climbed it in 2018, finding it to be about three meters shy of Jabal Ferwa.For more than a decade, the twins have traveled to one country after another around the world, rewriting the mountain record books about places across the Middle East and West Africa. So far they have reached the peaks of more than 100 countries and newly identified the highest points in Togo, Guinea-Bissau and Ivory Coast.Matthew, a research scientist at Lockheed Martin in Palo Alto, California, and Eric, an instructor in mechanical engineering at Seattle University, said their work was motivated by a love for mountaineering. “If we’re going to go through all the effort to visit a country and visit the highest mountain, we want to be sure that we have indeed visited the highest mountain,” Matthew said. “We consider it assistance to future mountaineers to have an accurate survey done so that they can focus their efforts on getting to whichever peak they want to get to.”The twins’ love of mountaineering began when they were children with family trips to the Great Smoky Mountains in the southeastern United States. When they were students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT), they started climbing as many mountains as possible. In 2012, after achieving their goal of reaching the highest point of each US state, they turned their attention to the rest of the world.4．What can we learn about Jabal Sawda?A．It’s Saudi Arabia’s best scenic spot.B．It’s lower than Jabal Ferwa.C．It’s Saudi Arabia’s highest peak.D．It’s better-known than Jabal Ferwa. 5．Why have the twins traveled to different countries in the past decade?A．To write books about mountains.B．To rename the peaks of mountains.C．To identify the highest mountains.D．To challenge other mountaineers. 6．What do Matthew’s words concerning their work imply in paragraph 3?A．It satisfies their curiosity.B．It strengthens their motivation.C．It attracts more mountaineers.D．It guarantees informed choices. 7．Which of the following best describes the twins?A．Ambitious but impractical.B．Determined and adventurous.C．Intelligent and unselfish.D．Peace-loving and eco-friendly.There seems to be a lot of talk these days about what is fair, and what is not. Most people tend to believe life should be fair. Some of the 99% seem to believe life has somehow treated them unfairly, and some of the 1% feel life hasn’t treated them fairly enough. My questions are these: What is fairness? Is life fair? Should life be fair?We clearly have no choice about how we come into this world. We have little choice early in life. But as we grow older, choices abound. I have long believed that while we have no control over the beginning of our life, the majority of us have the ability to influence the outcomes we attain. Fairness is a state of mind, and most often, an unhealthy state of mind. Our state in life cannot, or at least should not, be blamed on our parents, our teachers, or our society—it’s largely based on the choices we make, and the attitudes we adopt.Life is full of examples of the uneducated, the mentally and physically challenged people born into war-torn areas, who could have complained about life being unfair, but who instead chose a different path. Regardless of the challenges they faced, they had the character to choose contribution over complaint.I agree that challenges exist. I agree that many have an uphill battle due to these verity of the challenges they face. What I disagree with is the attempt to use fairness to solve all problems in the world. Rules and orders don’t create fairness, but people’s desire and determination can work around most life challenges.It doesn’t matter whether you are born with a silver spoon, plastic spoon, or no spoon at all. A friend of mine came to this country from Africa in his late teens, barely spoke the language, drove a cab while working his way through college, and is now the president of a technology services firm. Stories such as this are all around us—they are not miracles, nor are they the rare exception. They do, however, demonstrate blindness to the mindset of thefairness.8．What is the primary purpose of the text?A．To promote “efforts over complaint”.B．To stress the importance of fairness.C．To share an inspiring story of a friend.D．To prove that fairness is a state of mind.9．What does the underlined word “abound” in paragraph 2 mean?A．Change fully.B．Remain the same.C．Exist in numbers.D．Disappear completely.10．What opinion may the writer agree with?A．Most of us can affect the results we achieve.B．Our background determines our choices.C．People’s desire and determination create unfairness.D．We should depend on fairness to solve all problems.11．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．Fairness Is JusticeB．Life Is Not Fair—Deal with ItC．Fairness Comes FirstD．Cry for FairnessThe 2010s brought no shortage of miraculous technologies, from tablet computers to4G mobile internet. But these had surprisingly little effect on the economy. During that decade productivity growth in the developed countries averaged a miserable (少得可怜的) 1% a year, holding down average wages. Innovative firms embraced new tech, but many less adventurous ones did not bother. The experience showed that technological breakthroughs and improvements in average living standards do not always go hand in hand.Generative AI, its developers say, will be different. Not since the invention of the internet has a new technology so captured the public imagination. The technology is consumer-friendly: within days of its release to the public, Chat GPT, the most famous AI chat bot, had millions of users. It is easy to see how this innovation could improve all types ofwork at all types of firms, from increasing the accuracy of doctors’ diagnoses to helping programmers write software code more efficiently.With that said, for AI to truly spread out in the economy, it needs to make its mark beyond the most innovative companies. And this will take time. Although the internet began to be used by some companies in the early 1990s, it was not until the late 2000s that two-thirds of American businesses had a website. About 70 world’s largest firms still show no interest in AI, according to our analysis. Some evidence even suggests that usage of Chat GPT and its competitors is falling — perhaps as people have tried it out, and then decided it is not for them.Indeed, even the most powerful technologies take time to be adopted, because companies tend to use a mix of software and services, some of which may be years or even decades old. Replacing outdated systems can be costly and complicated. Moreover, in the many industries either run or heavily regulated by the government, such as healthcare, education and construction, bosses and trade unions often resist the application of new technology, worried that it will lead to job losses. In time AI could well transform how people live their lives and do their jobs. But the road to widespread usage, and any resulting productivity boom, will be a long one.12．What is paragraph 1 mainly about?A．How productivity affects average wages.B．Why the 2010s is a productive decade.C．Whether economic growth follows new technologies.D．What innovative companies care for.13．What does the author want to indicate by mentioning Chat GPT in paragraph 2?A．AI’s public imagination.B．Consumers’ enthusiasm.C．AI’s healthy profits.D．AI’s huge potential.14．What can be inferred from paragraph 3?A．Big firms are less motivated to adopt new tech.B．More efforts are needed to advocate AI.C．Chat GPT is falling behind its competitors.D．Websites were uncommon in the early 2000s.15．Which word best describes the author’s attitude towards the future of AI?A．Hopeful.B．Worried.C．Cautious.D．Pessimistic.二、七选五Perseverance isn’t easy. But before you blame your lack of willpower, consider this: Building mental strength is similar to building physical strength. In just a few minutes each day, you can train your brain to think differently, manage your emotions, and behave productively. 1617 Think about three things you are grateful for in your life. It could be as simple as the clean water that you drink. Write in a gratitude journal, list the things you feel grateful for over dinner, or make it a habit to find what you’re thankful for before you go to bed. Over time, being grateful becomes a second nature.It’s impossible to stay strong when you’re thinking about something that happened last week or horrible things going to happen tomorrow. 18 It’s therefore of great significance to be able to concentrate on the present. With regular practice, you’ll increase the ability to focus.It can be tempting to wait until you feel ready to make a change. But waiting until you feel good about yourself before you take action could backfire. Instead, when you change your behavior, your thoughts and your emotions will follow. So when you’re sad, put your shoulders back and smile, and you’ll feel better. 19Every day is a chance to develop some mental strength. Simple, short exercises performed over time will help you build mental strength. 20 Feeling sorry for yourself and giving up after your first failure are just a few of the bad habits that could discourage you from building your mental strength.A．The only time you can make changes is right now.B．With regular exercise, you’ll build your mental strength.C．You can stay away from the bad habits by regular training.D．Mental strength has a lot in common with physical strength.E．You can physically change your brain by making gratitude a habit.F．Pay attention to the bad habits that keep you out of mental strength.G．Always remember feelings of confidence won’t come out of nowhere.三、完形填空Back in the days when I was just a young student, I was always absent from schoolgradually accept the challenges thrown at me.One rainy afternoon, while walking home from school, an accident happened.

Boateng, growing up in a small village in southern Ghana/struggling to access basic health care, felt an urgent call to help and decided he would make it his life’s mission to bring health care to remote communities in Ghana.Boateng worked hard in school, getting a scholarship to study biology at Cornell University in the US, and ultimately earned his master’s in Healthcare Administration. Later he started his nonprofit, OKB Hope Foundation, and converted a van into a mobile doctor’s office called the Hope Health Van to bring health care directly to those in need in 2021.A few times a week, the mobile clinic and medical team travel long distances to remote communities in Ghana and provide free routine medical care. On each trip, Boateng’s team consists of a nurse, a physician’s assistant, a doctor, and an operation assistant. In the van, they can run basic labs like bloodwork and urinalysis as well as prescribe and provide medications. “It’s like a one-stop shop for people,” said Boateng, adding that most of the people they see have one health issue or another.Since its launch, Boateng says the Hope Health Van has served more than 4, 000 Ghanaians across more than 45 rural communities who otherwise don’t have easily accessible medical care. To supplement the mobile clinic, Boateng’s organization has also trained 20 volunteers to serve as local health advocates. They check people’s vitals and provide the medical team with timely data for assessing how to move forward with care and treatment, especially for those whose health is atrisk.In the future, Boateng hopes to expand to provide more consistent and high-quality medical care not only to those living in remote areas of Ghana but in other countries as well. “I believe that our model can be replicated in sub-Saharan Africa,” he said.4．What inspired Boateng to set his life goal?A．He wanted to get a scholarship.B．Many locals died of deadly diseases.C．The birthplace of him was small and poor.D．Basic health care was inaccessible for locals.5．What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A．How Boateng’s team functions.B．Why Boateng’s team was founded.C．What Boateng’s team has achieved.D．Where Boateng’s team has travelled. 6．What is Boateng’s attitude to his team in the future?A．Ambiguous.B．Ambitious.C．Indifferent.D．Doubtful. 7．What is the best title for the text?A．A van bringing medical care to thousandsB．A country lacking basic health careC．Efforts to provide people with medicationsD．Mobile vans travelling through GhanaBeejhy Barhany, growing up in an Ethiopian-Jewish community in Israel, has been cooking for her family as long as she can remember. Now a chef and owner of Tsion Café in Harlem, New York, Barhany continues to pull from cooking traditions, including one that has become the source of much controversy in recent decades: washing raw meat before cooking.For Barhany, submerging raw chicken in salt and lemon water is both functional and ceremonial, as soaking or rinsing raw meat in salt water and acid-such as lemon juice or vinegar-is a common form of “washing” required by Jewish Kosher rules. And a 2015 survey of over 1, 500 American consumers found that nearly 70 percent rinse or wash their poultry before cooking it, though the U. S. Department of Agriculture( USDA) started telling consumers not to wash raw poultry in the 1990s. Experts including those from the Centers for Disease Control and Preventionstrongly warned that rather than reducing the risk of foodborne illness (食源性疾病), washing meat increases the likelihood of spreading unwanted pathogens (病原体), like salmonella and campylobacter, around the kitchen.“Washing meat before cooking is not really helping,” says Betty Feng, associate professor of food science at Purdue University. “The only thing it does is splashing (飞溅) and could cross-contaminate a lot of your kitchen items-your sink, probably your clothes, whatever you have by the sink.” Moreover, Feng cautions against using saltwater, vinegar, or lemon juice, which simply isn’t strong enough to effectively kill foodborne pathogens. “If the acidity is high enough to kill bacteria, then it’s not really likely you can use your bare hand to wash,” she says.And a 2022 study showed that submerging meat in a bowl of water reduced the splashing but not the spread of germs. “I would treat the entire sink just like the outside of the chicken——it’s a biological hazard,” says Benjamin Chapman, one of the study authors and associate professor in North Carolina State University’s agricultural and human sciences department. “The way that we make meat safe is through cooking, not through the removal of pathogens.”8．What is the purpose of paragraph 1?A．To broaden the readers’ horizons.B．To make a comparison.C．To introduce the topic.D．To state the author’s opinion.9．What is mentioned about the Jewish Kosher rules from this text?A．Nearly 70 percent of American consumers follow the rules.B．The rules pay attention to functional and ceremonial aspects.C．Uncooked meat is submerged in water with salt and vinegar.D．It warns people of the risk of foodborne illness.10．What is TRUE about “washing meat before cooking” according to Betty?A．It has sparked a lot of controversy in recent years.B．It has decreased the risk of foodborne illness.C．It can not be directly done/with your bare hands.D．It may do a favor/ to the transfer of pathogens.11．Why is the underlined phrase “biological hazard” mentioned in the last paragraph?A．To emphasize that chickens pose a level/of threat to humans’ life.B．To show that sinks can be a way to increase splashing.C．To prove that cooking is a good way to kill pathogens.D．To stress that the practice people follow is not advisable.The world’s largest ape Gigantopithecus blacki (G. blacki) vanished from Earth between 295, 000 and 215, 000 years ago, more than 100, 000 years earlier than once thought, pushed to extinction as the environment around it shifted, researchers reported recently in Nature.The fate of G. blacki, twice the size of the largest modern apes and resembling a super-sized version of its close cousin, the orangutan, has long been a mystery. For about 2 million years, G. blacki inhabited a landscape of forests and grasses in what’s now southern China. It left behind only scattered remnants: thousands of teeth and four jawbones, unearthed in cave sediments in the region.To establish a chronology for the ape’s extinction, paleoanthropologist Yingqi Zhang of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing and his colleagues used different dating techniques to determine the ape’s habits, diet and environment. In the teeth, they looked for data on the ape’s diet, measuring isotopes (同位素) of carbon and oxygen as well as examining the teeth for tiny evidence of wear and tear — which can reveal not only diet, but also give hints of repeated behaviors and stress. The team also analyzed the cave sediments bearing the fossils, hunting for fossil pollen and conducting luminescence dating (光释光测年) on radioactive elements within the sediments.The team’s reconstruction revealed that — around 700, 000 to 600, 000 years ago, southern China shifted from its forested landscape to a more seasonally-driven environment. Some apes, including the orangutans, were able to adapt to these changes. But G. blacki was unable to change rapidly enough, and its numbers slowly dwindled before going extinct, the team suggested.The assembled evidence told a convincing story that “the extinction of G. blacki coincided in southern China with a decrease of forest cover and expansion of savanna-like environments,” said Hervé Bocherens, a biogeologist at the University of Tuebingen in Germany. Still, he said, documenting the extinction of this species from the fossil record is tricky — and it’s impossible to rule out the possibility that pockets of G. blacki may have lingered in still-undiscovered caves for longer.12．What can be known about G. blacki according to paragraph 2?A．G. blacki shared certain similarities with the orangutan.B．G. blacki was twice larger than the largest modern apes.C．G. blacki lived in places full of basins and deserts.D．G. blacki might have thousands of teeth.13．What did Zhang and his workmates do to figure out information related to G. blacki ?A．They checked the situation of G. blacki.B．They repeated the behaviors done by G. blacki.C．They applied radioactive elements to the analysis of the cave sediments.D．They measured isotopes of carbon and hydrogen in G. blacki diet.14．What is the meaning of the underlined word “dwindled” in paragraph 4?A．Increased.B．Reduced.C．Unchanged.D．Multiplied. 15．What can we learn from Bocherens’s words?A．Many hands make light work.B．One good turn deserves another.C．Knowledge advances by steps and not by leaps.D．Experience must be bought.With the development of computers, increasing students type with a greater-than-ever reliance on them to take notes and write papers. 16 Some parents of younger students are dismayed that their children are not just encouraged but required to take laptops to class. Additionally, university professors complain of rampant (泛滥的) distraction in classrooms, with students reading and messaging instead of listening to lectures.A line of research shows the benefits of an “innovation” that predates computers: handwriting. 17 It includes helping students recall a random series of words and grasp complicated concepts better. For rote (死记硬背) learning, from the shapes of letters to the irregularity of English spelling, the benefits of handwriting lie in how the motor and sensory memory of putting words on paper reinforces that material.One of the best-demonstrated advantages of handwriting seems to be in superior note-taking. In a study from 2014 by Pam Mueller and. Danny Oppenheimer, students typing wrotedown almost twice as many words and more passages word for word from lectures. 18 . Instead, handwriting -which takes longer for nearly all university-level students-forces note- takers to transform ideas into their own words. 19Many studies have confirmed handwriting’s benefits, and policymakers have taken note.20 In Sweden there is a push for more handwriting books and fewer devices.Although nearly all will eventually need typing skills, in an age of typing, handwriting still matters.A．Studies have found that handwriting can improve everything.B．This aids conceptual understanding at the moment of writing.C．But today a different debate is raging about the dangers of typing.D．It suggested they didn’t understand the material so much as parrot (鹦鹉学舌) it. E．However, several schools in America have gone so far to ban most laptops. F．Especially. studies have found that writing on paper can better students’ performance. G．For instance, about half the states in America have commanded more teaching of handwriting instruction.二、完形填空In 2015, Misty Copeland was named a principal dancer-a ballerina of the highest rank — at American Ballet Theatre.
