The insects will eat the food waste and change it into part of the body containing about 60 per cent protein. The dried baby worms will then be made into feed.These mealworms can be a continuous solution to several problems. Using a small land and giving out less carbon, they turn food waste into feed and offer an alternative source of protein. Ynsect SAS, a small French business that keeps mealworms to feed fish and pets, attracted money from investors includingIron Manmovie actor Robert Downey Jr. in a round of fund-raising last year.The deal will give Singapore's farmers access to domestically produced animal feed, which is traditionally bought from abroad. The Southeast Asian nation imports more than 90 percent of its food and has set a goal to produce a third of its food locally by 2030. It also aims to achieve a general recycling rate of 70 per cent by then. Presently, less than 20 per cent of Singapore's food waste is recycled.As part of the partnership, Dubai-based Dnata will add Blue Aqua to its list of suppliers to buy locally farmed seafood for its catering service.4. What is the function of mealworms?A. To cut the use of imported fish feed.B. To eat food waste and make fish feed.C. To domestically produce animal feed.D. To replace traditional fish and soybean meal.5. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?A. The producers of the feed.B. The purpose of the projectC. The advantages of the project.D. The composition of the feed.6. What can we infer about Singapore from Paragraph 5?A. It is a rich country.B. It is short of self-produced food.C. Its recycling rate is very high now.D. Its farmers don't support the deal.7. What is the text mainly about?A. A new way to produce fish feed.B.An introduction to a company.C. A plan to reduce food waste.D. A deal to protect farmers.After finishing his dinner, Lin Xu opened a WeChat mini-programcalled "Clear Plate" on his phone and took a picture of the empty plates. He was then awarded 157 credit points after the image was uploaded and recognized by artificial intelligence. The credit points can be used to buy gifts, such as books, cellphones and red wine, or to purchase charity meals donated to children in poor rural areas.The "Clear Plate" mini-program has become popular among young Chinese. Similar campaigns like an "empty plate challenge" are alsoon the horizonin many Chinese universities."Technological innovation is a good way to reduce food waste," said Liu Jichen. Founder of the start-up that developed the app. The idea popped up at a dinner in 2017, when Liu found that the restaurant owner would give diners who polished off their food a card and offer small gifts after a certain number of cards had been collected. "Everyone who values food is bound to enjoy a sense of gain at a lower cost," Liu mentioned this case, noting that such an idea could potentially be realized online.He formeda team to work on the project. Yet it was quite a challenge for the AI system to assess whether the uploaded photos showed empty plates. To make the AI system smarter，Liu and his team, assisted by more than 1, 000 others, spent half a year collecting over100,000 samples from canteens and restaurants across the country and analyzed the data. Dozens of enterprises, institutions and restaurants have contacted the start-up to cooperate on the project. Through the digitalized, visualized mini-program, people can clearly see the good results of saving food, which will effectively reduce food waste. "We hope our efforts can start a new trend among the younger generation, encouraging them to develop the habit of thrift(节约)," Liu said.8. What does the underlined phrase "on the horizon" in paragraph 2 mean?A. Likely to decrease.B. Likely to succeed.C. Likely to change.D. Likely to appear.9. What caused Liu Jichen to develop the "Clear Plate" app?A. Food waste afterdinner.B. The idea of the restaurant owner.C. Small gifts sent by his friends.D. Charity meals donated to children.10. What was difficult for the project Liu's team worked on?A. Making the AI system smarter.B. Assessing the uploaded photos.C. Collecting samples from canteens and restaurants.D. Encouraging people to develop the habit of thrift.11. What is the text mainly about?A. AI programs becoming popular.B. AI programs appearing in many Chinese universities.C. AI programs encouraging diners toclear their plates.D. AI programs collecting pictures of clearing diners' plates.DWhen I was a kid, my mom set aside some breakfast food for supper every nowand then. I remember one night after a long, hard day at work, my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage, and a plate of extremely burnt biscuits on the table. I waited to see if my dad would get annoyed.All my dad did was to reach for the biscuits, smile at my mom and ask me how my day at school had been. I don't remember what I told him that night but I do remember watching him add butter and jelly on that ugly burnt biscuit and ate every bite of that thing. He never made a face nor uttered a word about it!When I rose from the table that evening, I remember hearing my mom apologize to my dad for overcooking the biscuits and I will never forget what he said, “Honey, I love burnt biscuits every now and then."Later that night, I went to say good night to my daddy, and I wondered if he really liked his biscuits burnt. He wrapped me up in his arms and said gently, "Your mom put in a hard day at work today and she is really tired. Besides, a little burnt biscuit never hurt anyone!As I have grown older, I've thought about that many times. Life is full of imperfect things and imperfect people. Learning to accept each other's faults and choosing to celebrate each other's differences contribute to a healthy, growing, and lasting relationship. We could extend this philosophy to any relationship, such as a husband-wife, parent-child, or friendship. Don't put the key to your happiness in someone else's pocket. Keep it in your own. So, please pass me a biscuit, and yes, the burnt one will do just fine.12. How did the author's dad react to the burnt biscuit?A. He set it aside for breakfast.B. He ate butter and jelly instead.C. He uttered his complaints loudly.D. He ate it up as if nothing happened.13. Which of the following words can best describe the author's dad?A. Caring.B. Determined.C. ProudD. Hardworking.14. What does the author suggest people do in the last paragraph?A. Show understanding to imperfect things.B. Ask the children to respect their parents.C. Enjoy the over-cooked biscuits willingly.D. Make important decisions on your own.15. In which section of a magazine may this passage appear?A. History and culture.B. Family and relationship.C. Cuisine and health.D. Entertainment and sports.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

He used a new, powerful weapon. He used a camera.Brady opened his first photograph studio in 1844. The images he produced were daguerreotypes ( 银版照片), not the photographs he would take later. Daguerreotypes recorded images on sheets of copper coated with silver. They required long exposures, so the person being photographed would have to stay perfectly still for 3-15 minutes. That made daguerreotypes impractical for portraits. By 1855, Brady was advertising a new type of image that had just been invented: a photograph made on paper.From the beginning of his career, Brady believed that photography could serve an important purpose. His images could create a record of national life. When the Civil War broke out, he wanted to document the war as a part of that record. His friends discouraged him, but Brady started to take photographs of war scenes. He gathered a group of photographers who worked in thefield, taking photographs of battle scenes and military life. He also bought photographs from others who were returning from the field. His efforts culminated (达到顶点) in an 1862 display of photographs made after the Battle of Antietam.The bloodshed (人员伤亡) shocked the visitors to the exhibit, most of whom had never seen afield of battle.Brady did not stop war with his work, but he did raise the awareness of the costs of war among common citizens. After the Civil War, people lost interest in his record of the war. Because he could find few buyers for his photographs and did not earn enough money to pay for his wartime work, Brady went bankrupt ( 破产的). Years after the war, the government bought Brady’s collection. It is now considered a priceless documentation of the War between the States. Other photographs by Mathew Brady sell for thousands of dollars and are considered national treasures.24.By 1855, the new technology .A.allowed Brady to open his first photography studioB.made daguerreotypes have shorter exposure timeC.allowed photographs to be recorded on paperD.made Brady begin to take photos of people25.When the Civil War broke out, Mathew Brady .A.began to take and collect pictures of the warB.started to realize the purpose of photographyC.established his exhibition centerD.went to the battlefield to report26.According to the text, Mathew Brady’s photographs .A.helped stop the Civil WarB.made people realize the cruelty of warC.were bought by the government during the warD.were considered national treasures right after the war27.This text mainly talks about .A.new inventions recording national lifeB.photographs taken during the Civil WarC.a soldier who took photographs at the battlefieldD.a photographer who wanted to stop war with his photosCMath can be as scary as spiders and snakes, at least in the brain of an 8-year-old child. And that early anxiety about dealing with numbers can put a child at a significant disadvantage, not only in school but in negotiating life and a career. Fortunately, a study of third-graders, published in the Journal of Neuroscience, suggests an intervention (干预) that can help. One-on-one tutoring does more than teach kids. It can help reduce the fear of math anxiety.“The most exciting aspect of our findings is that cognitive ( 认知的) tutoring not onlyimproves performance, but is also anxiety-reducing,” says Vi nod Menon.Menon and his colleagues knew from their earlier researchusing MRI scans (核磁扫描) of the brain that math anxiety activates much the same network of cells that some other common fears activate----fear of snakes or spiders or heights, for example. And they knew that a behavioral treatment known as exposure therapy helps some people solve the anxiety of those other phobias. Could the same thing be happening with math tutoring?To find out, the scientists invited 46 third-graders who answered questions about math worries and were also tested on simple addition problems while having their brains scanned via functional MRI. Based on their answers, scans and scores in each of the tests, the children were divided into two groups: one considered to have higher levels of math anxiety and one with lower levels. Afterward, both groups received eight weeks of one-on-one tutoring in basic arithmetic, a few sessions a week.Both groups did better in math at the end of the tutoring, Menon says. But most importantly, he says, the kids who had been anxious about math were 20 percent less anxious at the end of the eight weeks----a finding their brain scans confirmed.The tutoring was highly personalized----if a child got stuck on a particular concept, thetutor would w ork with the student to “get beyond the bottleneck in a non-negative, encouraging way”.Menon hopes to next study whether computerized tutoring can produce similar benefits and whether the reduction in math anxiety continues to exist as the children advance to more complex problem-solving skills.28.According to the text, early math anxiety may affect children’s.A.intelligence qualityB. ability to harmonize life andworkC. life skillsD. career choices29.What does the underlined word “phobias” in Paragraph 3mean?A.Scans.B. Tutors.C. Fears.D. Symptoms.30.Why did scientists test those 46 third-graders?A.To check the function of MRI scans.B.To help them get higher grades in math.C.To find out what addition problems they have.D.To prove whether one-on-one tutoring can reduce math anxiety.31.What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph?puters can help reduce math anxiety.B.Menon will make a further study about the reduction in mathanxiety.C.One-on-one tutoring is useful for solving difficult problems.D.Scientists have applied one-on-one tutoring to social research.DFor the past few months, artificial intelligence (AI) has been a much talked about topic in the worlds of both pop culture andscience. Last November saw the release of Oscar-nominated ( 奥斯卡奖提名的) and winning movie, “The Imitation Game”, about the father of the modern computer, Alan Turing. Last month, another Hollywood film about clever robots, “Chappie”, hit theaters.Is artificial intelligence a good fortune or a bad luck for humans? In their book The Second Machine Age: Work, Progress, and Prosperity in a Time of Brilliant Technologies, authors Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee, both of whom come from MIT, US, could barely hide their excitement toward the rise of machines.According to the authors, we’re entering an age of accelerated development o f artificial and robotic technology. “Digital machines have escaped their narrow confines limits and started to show broad abilities in pattern recognition, complex communication, and other areas that used to be only human,” write the authors. “We’ve recently seen great progress in natural language processing, machine learning, computer vision, and many other areas.”Already AI can help blind people see and deaf people hear. And wheelchairs have been invented that can be controlled by thoughts. We’ll witness more innovations and wonders made possible by AI, according to the authors.However, not all are equally enthusiastic about AI. A February report from the GlobalChallenges Foundation listed AI, along with extreme climate change, nuclear war and ecologi cal catastrophe, as “risks that threaten human civilization”. Many scientists share the same concern. Stephen Hawking told the BBC last December that: “It would take off on its own, and re-design itself at an ever increasing rate, while humans, who are limited by slow biological evolution, couldn’t compete, and would be replaced.”Hawking’s worry agreed with that of Tesla and SpaceX boss Elon Musk, who said in last October at an MIT conference that “we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. I’m increasingly inclined (倾向于) to think that there should be some regulatory oversight (监管), maybe at the national and international level, just to ensure we don’t do something very foolish,” Mus k said.32.Two movies are mentioned in the first paragraph in order to show.A.the popularity of AI around the worldB. the development ofrobotic technologyC. the wide public concern about AID. people’s increasinginterest in movies33.Andrew McAfee’s attitude towards AI is .A.supportiveB. doubtfulC. cautiousD. disapproving34.Stephen Hawking views AI as a threat to human beings becausehe thinks it would.A.be difficult to controlB. result in natural disastersC. have the earth destroyedD. bring an end to the human race35.The purpose of the passage is to .A.explain how to make AI serve peopleB.give different opinions about developing AIC.introduce the advantages of developing AID.show the possible problems with developing AI第二节（共5 小题；每小题2 分，满分10 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。

AThe Worlds'Best BookshopsThere's nothing like being surrounded by books，wherever you are．Here are the finest oases of literature that travellers can bring you．Daikanyama T﹣site|TokyoIt is well worth visiting even if just to admire the building's beautiful，crisscrossed architecture．Once you've had your fill of roaming three floors'worth of bookshelves，there's the bar，the coffee shop，or even the video rental space to give you more reason to stay just that little bit longer．Grab a book，order a beer and dive into its pages．I could have stayed hours here．City Lights|San FranciscoThe three﹣storey establishment publishes and sells titles in poetry，fiction，translation，politics，history and the arts．It hosts events and readings，and runs a non﹣profit of the same name that aims to promote diversity of voices and ideas in literature．It's opposite Vesuvio，a bar frequented by Kerouac and other Beat﹣generation writers and artists．Shakespeare and Company|ParisI made a special trip to the Left Bank for this one when I was in Paris．It has two floors packed with English﹣language texts，and I was particularly struck by any spare wall space devoted to notes from visitors﹣heartfelt messages to a loved one，dedications to the shop itself，or a quote from a favourite author or philosopher．Hutatma Chowk|MumbaiA few years ago I visited India，investigating Rudyard Kipling's connections with the country．I spotted a cheap copy of The Jungle Book on one of the tarp﹣covered book stalls at Hutatma Chowk（Martyrs'Square）．The booksellers here are like amateur librarians，able to lay their hands on almost any title you ask for．To me，those well﹣thumbed（翻旧了的）books spoke volumes about the changes of Mumbai's readers in the150years since the city gave us Kipling．21．In which bookshop can you buy a drink while visiting？A．Daikanyama T﹣site B．City LightsC．Shakespeare and Company D．Hutatma Chowk22．What can be learned about the book stalls at Hutatma Chowk？A．People can meet Rudyard Kipling there．B．They sell the cheapest books in the world．C．The book owners are amateur librarians．D．The sellers are familiar with the books．23．What do the four bookstores have in common？A．They are beautifully designed．B．They are three﹣storey buildings．C．They offer book lovers good experience．D．They are frequently visited by great writers．BHoward Weistling wanted to be a comic strip（连环漫画）artist．But when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor，he joined the Army．After flight engineer training，Howard was shipped off to Europe．On his maiden flight，his plane was shot down over Austria．The entire crew of eight men landed safely．But a farmer found Howard hiding in his barn and turned him over to a prison of war camp in Barth，Germany．It was freezing and the men almost starved to death eating the guards'garbage．Hungry and homesick Howard coped the only way he knew how．He drew a comic strip．The book，made of cigarette wrappers bound together with scrap metal，was sent around the camp．Every couple of days he would add a new panel．One panel at a time would be passed around the whole camp．And they'd have something to look forward to．After an entire year of this，they woke one morning to find their guards gone．They fled and Howard finally got to go home．Just lucky to get out alive，he left the book behind．Back home in California，Howard soon had a wife and kids to feed so he had to set aside his dream of becoming an artist．He took a job as a gardener instead．Morgan shared his father's artistic gifts．At15his parents sent him to art school．And Howard got to see his son become a well﹣known painter before he died in2002．That's how，seven decades after the war，when a stranger in New York googled the name "Weistling，"he found Morgan online．"I get an email from a gentleman and he says，‘I think I may have some drawings your father did when he was a POW（prisoner of war）in World War II，'"Morgan recalls．"‘Would you like them？'And I just stared at that email and started crying．"Luckily Howard had engraved his name on the comic book，which is how the man from New York City had connected with Morgan．A couple of days later when it arrived in California，Morgan couldn't believe it．"It was like getting my father back，"Morgan says．"It was like him being able to tell me the story over again﹣only this time it was real in my hands．"24．The passage details Howard's life as a POW to show that．A．war cannot stop his pursuit of successB．passion for art helped ease his sufferingsC．loss of freedom encouraged his creativityD．misery drives him to fight against his fate25．What can we infer about Howard's comic strip in prison？A．It satisfied prisoners'curiosity．B．It aroused the guards'sympathy．C．It was popular among the prisoners．D．It raised prisoners'confidence in freedom．26．What contributes to the stranger's success in finding Morgan？A．The email from a gentleman．B．Howard's experience in the war．C．Morgan's recalling of his father．D．Morgan's status in the field of art．27．What can we infer about Morgan from the last paragraph？A．He didn't believe the stranger's story．B．He was excited to get the comic strip．C．He couldn't wait to tell others his good news．D．He hadn't heard about his father's war stories．CYour brain isn't necessarily the same age as the rest of you．Now，it may be possible to predict how quickly a person's brain will age throughout life based on tests taken when he or she is three years old．A person's biological age may be a better indicator of their health than their realage．Brain age can be measured using brain scans and machine﹣learning to determine if a person's brain looks older or younger than the average healthy brain for people of the same age．To find out if brain age might reveal anything about a person's health in midlife，Max Elliott at Duke University in North Carolina and his colleagues assessed the brains of869 adults in New Zealand who have undergone regular medical and cognitive（认知的）testing since they were3years old．When the volunteers，all aged between43and46，underwent MRI brain scans，the team found that their brain ages ranged from23to71．Those with older brain ages performed worse on tests of cognition，memory and IQ．The researchers also found that some people have a very advanced brain age but their bodies seem to be ageing slowly，and vice versa（反之亦然）．However，the team found that those who had the highest scores on cognitive tests when they were3years old went on to have the youngest﹣looking brains．This suggests we might be able to tell who is at risk of accelerated brain ageing early in life．Researchers hope that predicting brain ageing earlier in life could allow treatments for conditions like dementia（痴呆）to be started sooner．This means treatments might have a better chance of working．We don't yet have a way to treat brain ageing，but given the known benefits to the brain of healthy eating and exercise，these aren't a bad place to start．28．What helps predict the speed of one's brain ageing？A．One's health condition．B．A test result at the age of3．C．The actual age of one's brain．D．A machine for medical check．29．What is the purpose of Elliott's research？A．To find out why people look older or younger．B．To measure people's brain age at different stages．C．To discover whether brain age can be measured by machines．D．To explore the relationship between brain age and future health．30．What is Paragraph4mainly about？A．The influence of cognitive tests．B．The procedure of Elliott's study．C．The information about volunteers．D．The findings of the brain research．31．What do the findings of the research imply？A．We should test our brain age earliest possible．B．People suffering dementia can go on working．C．Brain ageing could be predicted at an early age．D．Healthy eating and exercise can cure brain ageing．DOne of the most popular beliefs in parenting is the so﹣called Mozart effect，which says that listening to music by the Austrian composer Wolfgang Mozart can increase a child's intelligence．Some pregnant women have even gone so far as to play Mozart recordings on headphones pressed against their bellies．And it's not hard to see how Mozart's name became associated with accelerated development．He was history's greatest child genius，performing astonishing music for kings and queens at an age when many of us were content with tuneless singing"I'm a Little Teapot"．So，if you have kids or you're expecting to have them，how seriously should you take the Mozart effect？Will the child who doesn't listen to Mozart in the cradle（摇篮）be limited to an ordinary life？Are you a bad parent if your kids don't know about any works of Mozart？Relax．There is no scientific evidence that listening to Mozart improves children's cognitive abilities．The whole idea comes from a small study done in1993，which found that college students who listened to Mozart's Sonata for Two Pianos in D Major（K448）showed some improvement in a test of spatial（空间的）skills．This finding was later described as something extremely amazing by a musician，Don Campbell，in a book．Campbell's claims about the super powers of Mozart's music were repeated endlessly in the media and fueled a craze for Mozart﹣based enrichment activities．In1998，for example，the governor of Georgia in the USA requested funds to send classical﹣music CDs to all parents of newborns in the state．Since then，scientists have examined the claim that Mozart increases intelligence and found no evidence for it．The original experiment with college students was reviewed in 1999，and the increase in the students'spatial skills was found to be negligible．In2007the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research asked a team of experts to examine the scientific literature regarding Mozart and child development，and they found no reason to believe that it increased intelligence．32．People relate Mozart to children's intelligence development because he．A．owned extraordinary music talentB．could perform music as a childC．offered music to pregnant womenD．was an royal Austrian composer33．What can we know about the small study in1993？A．It added to the popularity of Mozart's music．B．It found no evidence for supporting Mozart effect．C．It helped college students make academic progress．D．It urged Georgia's governor to spread classical music．34．What does the underlined word"negligible"probably mean？A．Sudden．B．Insignificant．C．Average．D．Steady．35．What can be the best title for the text？A．New Findings：Mozart Effect to Be ProvedB．Secrets Uncovered：History of Mozart EffectC．Does Listening to Mozart Make Kids Smarter？D．How Does Mozart Improve Kids'Intelligence？第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10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．选项中有两项为多余选项．Your comfort zone is a behavioral space where your activities and behaviors fit a routine and pattern that minimizes stress and risk。
