阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项。并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑
A
What will our world really be like 20 years from now What does the future hold for the food we eat, the technology we use and the homes we live in It would be beyond imagination--food pills, flying cars and bases on the moon--but the reality will probably be less exciting. The world in 2040 will probably be much like it is today, but smarter.
The future of food
The next major food change will be vertical farming (垂直农业) in which we grow food in AI-controlled vertical buildings rather than horizontal land. We could be eating insects in 2040. Insects are rich in proteins, low in fat and a good source of calcium.
The future of love
The Internet has forever changed the way people meet and fall in love. Online dating and location-based services have opened up possibilities that allow people to look beyond their friends, friends of friends, and co-workers.
The future of technology
We’re heading into a future where improved battery technology will make better electric cars, personal flying machines, and private space tourism possible.
The future of work
Rather than humans working with machines, robots are likely to reduce some jobs. Taxi drivers will be replaced by self-driving cars, for example. Clearly, there will also be new jobs created: the computer engineer, mechanics who fix the self-driving taxis, programmers, space tour guides and vertical farmers. Technology will continue to disturb businesses and get rid of some jobs, creating new professions we can’t yet imagine.
The future of health
Hospitals are the costliest part in the health system, Prevention will become the center of attention as we gain greater control of our health information.
21．What is the food in 2040 like
A．People will not eat pork or beef then.
B．Insects will become the main food then.
C．The food will mainly exist in the form of pills.
D．Part of the food will come from vertical farming.
22．What can we learn from Paragraph 5
A．New professions will appear. B．Boring jobs will be abandoned.
C．Most jobs will be done by robots. D．Humans will work with machines.
23．What will be the focus of health in the future
A．Hospital treatment. B．Health systems.
C．Prevention. D．Health information.
Around 3,500 Americans ingest (摄入) batteries every year. It’s apparently such a repeating issue that even a specific hotline was built in the event of such an emergency.
And while it’s unlikely your wristwatch’s power source will ever be safe to eat, that doesn’t mean all batteries will remain uneatable-in fact, some are being designed with digestion specifically in mind.
A team of researchers at the Italian Institute of Technology recently revealed what isl being called as the world’s first fully rechargeable, eatable battery. As detailed in a paper published with Advanced Materials, the new device has made good use of some eatable materials.
“Eatable electronic devices will have major implications for gastrointestinal tract (胃肠道) monitoring, treatment, as well as rapid food quality monitoring,” reads the paper’s abstract, adding that although recent research proved the feasibility of eatable sensors and circuits, “fully eatable electronic devices and eatable power sources are still required, of which there have been very few examples.”
According to the team’s findings, their proof-of-concept battery was capable of producing 0.65 volts, which is safely low enough for the human body to handle. The ingestible could provide 48 μA of current for 12 minutes, or alternatively, a few microamps (微安) for over an hour. Such a power supply could provide enough energy for small electronics alike to eatable pill-shaped modules and other gastrointestinal procedure alternatives.
In a statement, researcher coordinator Mario Caironi explained that such a product could help power monitors for both human health conditions and food storage. Additionally, given their safety, products with stronger power could be used within children’s toys, where ingestion risk is higher.
In the team’s statement, co-author Ivan Ilic also explained that despite the battery’s relatively low power, its digestibility provides a promising example of a battery that doesn’t use any harmful materials.
24．What is the necessity of developing eatable batteries
A．They help with the food shortage. B．They can avoid the harm caused by eating batteries.
C．They are useful in some special fields. D．They have no impact on the environment.
25．Which is the closest in meaning to “feasibility” in Paragraph 4
A．Availability. B．Flexibility. C．Responsibility. D．Possibility.
26．What can we infer from the statements in the last paragraph
A．The application of the battery has a long way to go.
B．The eatable batteries will be widely used in our life.
C．The development of the eatable battery is promising.
D．The eatable batteries will soon be put into production.
27．In which section of a magazine can we read the text
A．News Corner. B．Story Garden. C．Language World. D．Technology Square.
C
As reported in the journal Nature, one system can directly remove carbon dioxide from sources ranging from flue gas (烟道气) to the atmosphere by using electricity to induce a water-and-oxygen-based electrochemical reaction. This technological achievement could turn direct air capture (捕获) from edge industry into a promising front for climate change relief.
Most carbon-capture systems involve a two-step process: First, high-pH liquids are used to separate the carbon dioxide, which is acidic, from mixed-gas streams such as flue gas. Next, the carbon dioxide is regenerated from the solution through heating or by injecting a low-pH liquid.
“Once the carbon dioxide is trapped in these solvents (溶剂), you have to regenerate it,” says Haotian Wang, assistant professor at Rice University. “There are literally no chemicals produced or consumed with our process. We also don’t need to heat up or pressurize our device, we just need to put it into a power outlet and it will work.”
Another drawback of current carbon-capture technologies is their reliance on large-scale, centralized infrastructure. By contrast, the system developed in the Wang lab is an extensible, modular, point-of-use concept that can adapt to a variety of scenarios. “The technology can be scaled up to industrial settings-power plants, chemical plants-but the great thing about it is that it allows for small-scale use as well: I can even use it in my office.” Wang says.
Also the reactor can continuously remove carbon dioxide from a simulated (模拟的) flue gas with efficiency above 98% using a relatively low electricity input. Wang notes that the process has “no carbon footprint or a very limited footprint” if powered by electricity from renewable sources such as solar or wind. “This is great news considering that renewablel electricity is becoming more and more cost-effective,” Wang says.
28．What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2
A．Add up some opposite reasons. B．Offer basic evidences to the topic.
C．Summarize the following paragraphs. D．Provide some background information.
29．What do we know about Wang’s system according to the text
A．It involves a two-step process. B．It creates some chemicals.
C．It is simple and easy to operate. D．It needs to be used in big plants.
30．How does the author support the topic
A．By making comparisons. B．By listing many numbers.
C．By providing research results. D．By analyzing causes and effects.
31．What is the author’s attitude towards Wang’s technology
A．Unclear. B．Favourable. C．Objective. D．Disapproving.
D
To reach a sustainable food system, “integrity has to run through the whole system, especially with the farmers,” say Jan and Steve Petersen, Niman Ranch farmers. “We have to learn to care for our shared resources, like soil, water, air, and ecosystems.”
Jan and Steve created a family of sustainability advocates. To them, sustainable farming means protecting soil, water, and ecosystems for future generations. The Petersen family always farmed crops sustainably and raised their pigs naturally, using mostly organic practices. Their son Ted continues to work on the farm part-time, while their oldest son Luke works with farmers in California to encourage sustainable farming practices as a conservation biologist who received a Niman Ranch Next Generation Scholarship Award in 2008 to help him continue his farming practices. “He doesn’t hesitate to feed his dad ideas on new practices and technologies,” says Jan.
The Petersens joined Niman Ranch in 2003 for the support it provided for farmers raising pigs naturally after the pig market crashed in 1998. “We suddenly had a sense of belonging and support, becoming part of a whole network of farmers who shared similar values,” explain Jan and Steve. “This matched our personal passion for community revitalization (复兴) and the promotion of responsible land use practices.”
In their community, the Petersens have a great passion for responsible land use and its benefits for the food system. They realized early on how farmland preservation is connected to all sorts of land use issues, so they got involved on many levels. Steve chairs the local planning committee. And Jan not only started the community’s farmers’ market, but also serves on the county Brownfield Redevelopment Authority, encouraging businesses to redevelop ignored properties. Together, the Petersens also brought historic property in their community back to life.
“We feel we are caretakers of not just the land on this fifth generation farm, but also the historic house and barns, around 1871, here on the Petersen Farm. We always hope the wildlife appreciates our commitment to avoiding farming the whole place into the ground,” say the Petersens.
32．How did the Petersen family advocate sustainable farming
A．By engaging neighbors in part-time laboring.
B．By cooperating with conservation professionals.
C．By encouraging practices on organic farming.
D．By awarding biologists for ecological conservation.
33．Why did the Petersens join Niman Ranch in 2003
A．It applied innovation to farming.
B．It supplied assistance to farmers in need.
C．It introduced them to bigger markets.
D．It offered convenience to communities in trouble.
34．What did the Petersens do to make lands used properly
A．They assumed leading roles. B．They advocated land expansion.
C．They modernized historic properties. D．They founded various organizations.
35．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A．A Family’s Efforts to Protect Land B．The Benefits of Sustainable System
C．The Protection of Shared Resources D．The Progress in Organic Farming

The History of the Automobile
The automobile, more commonly known as the car, certainly counts as one of the greatest inventions in human history. 36
As to who invented the automobile, the answer is not quite so clear-cut. While some give credit to Karl Benz, who patented the first gas-powered vehicle in 1886, others give the praise to Gottlieb Daimelr. Incidentally, the two inventors’ companies merge (合 并) in 1926 to form the famous Mercedes-Benz.
37 It was Henry Ford who designed a system of mass production that allowed him to produce cars far more cheaply, which in turn meant he could sell them at lower prices. By 1927, 15 million of Ford’s famous all-black Model Ts had been produced. Mass car ownership had become a reality.
38 Inventors were working on electric vehicles around the same time that gas-powered ones were being developed. The first electric car was designed in 1884 by Thomas Parker, the same man who electrified the London Underground. By 1900, electric vehicles were giving gas cars a run for their money. They were quiet, did not give off emissions, and were easier to drive, especially for women. 39 They were difficult to charge when most people’s homes didn’t have electricity. They were also rather expensive. In the end, Henry Ford’s cheap Model T put an end to interest in electric cars which didn’t become popular until the gas shortages and environmental concerns of the late 20th century.
Now, early in the 21st century, we find ourselves on the brink of yet another age in automobile history. Electric cars are set to make the gas-guzzler (油 老 虎) out of date. 40 Benz, Daimler and Parker would surely be amazed by how far their dreams have come.
A．But why were early electric cars not popular
B．However, they weren’t without shortcomings.
C．They were also popular in European countries.
D．It allows people to travel great distances quickly, safely and cheaply.
E．And self-driving cars may soon make human drivers a thing of the past.
F．At first, European models were far too expensive for most people to buy.
G．Many people think of electric vehicles as a new invention, but actually that’s not the case.

The modern progress of cellphones is sure to continue long into the future. Cooper 50 cellphone batteries could even be replaced by body 51 . “You ingest food, and you create energy. Why not have this receiver for your ear embedded under your skin, powered by your body ” he imagined.
Cooper also expressed 52 about how the device has created serious risks for 53 especially in the area of privacy. He hopes cellphones will continue to 54 in ways that can greatly help humanity. “Each generation is going to be smarter... They will learn how to use the cellphone more 55 ,” Cooper said.

67．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Eight o’clock on a May morning, and Mary, my 17-year-old daughter, was in our study upstairs. It had served as her classroom ever since schools moved to remote learning due to the COVID-19.
From the kitchen, I listened to the sound of her tapping on the laptop or her communicating in their Google Meet session s with her friends and teachers. I resisted the desire to check on her. Way too often, I would find Mary texting friends and commenting on their Snapchat and Instagram posts about the fun they were having together. I felt it safer not to care. After all, we’d barely left the house for 10 weeks straight.
“Mom, everyone is hanging out today!” Mary’s voice came from upstairs. “Why can’t I ” I went up the stairs. Mary was lying on the floor, her laptop, school iPad and cell phone in front of her. “It’s unfair,” she said. “I have no one I can be with. I can’t wait until I’m 18. and can do what I want.”
We’d had this conversation before. Still, I couldn’t help but feel sorry for her. I was sick of isolating (隔离) too. Even though Mary and I were at home together more than we had been in years, we might as well have been living in separate worlds.
“Wanna watch Netflix later ” I asked. “Bake some cookies ” “No, thanks.” Mary shook her head, as if the idea of doing something together was quite beyond her. I was used to Mary’s rejection, but it still hurt. Teenage independence is healthy, but I worried that if I didn’t find a way to bond with my girl soon, I might never be close with her again. She’d be 18 in the fall and had already convinced herself she didn’t need me anymore. Maybe she was right. No matter what I did, I couldn’t seem to reach her. That evening, I logged onto Facebook and saw a friend’s family playing with their new kitten together. My mind went back to the difficult period when I was in high school and our family moved to the new city. It was a gray tabby (虎斑猫) with which Mom surprised me that brightened my days and got me through that difficult, lonely time.
注意：1.续写词数应为 150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
It suddenly occurred to me that having a cat in our house might help.

We immediately decided to take the cat from the shelter home.

Here’s the information you need to know. First of all, all children should put your names down at the desk, because you will be divided into several groups. Then, if you’re ready, preschool children will be going out of this front door and their parents should go together. Outside this door, you will see a flag as the marker for your area. There will be some helpers to direct you. If you are in the first to third grade, you’re going right outside that back door to search in the yard. The parents of this group are welcome to go with the children. Finally, the fourth graders, please, follow me down the hall through the double doors and to the other side of the center where you’ll be going to look for your gifts. There’s plenty for everyone.
21．D 22．A 23．C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章描述了二十年后的世界到底是什么样子 作者对未来的各个方面做了大胆的预测。
21．推理判断题。根据小标题The future of food下的“The next major food change will be vertical farming (垂直农业) in which we grow food in AI-controlled vertical buildings rather than horizontal land. We could be eating insects in 2040.(下一个重大的食物变化将是垂直农业，我们在人工智能控制的垂直建筑而不是水平土地上种植食物)”可知，届时垂直农业将会提供一部分食物。故选D项。
22．细节理解题。根据小标题The future of work下的“Clearly, there will also be new jobs created: the computer engineer, mechanics who fix the self-driving taxis, programmers, space tour guides and vertical farmers.(显然，还会创造出新的工作岗位：计算机工程师、修理自动驾驶出租车的机械师、程序员、太空导游和垂直农民)”可知，将来由于科学技术的发展，将有大量的新工种应运而生。故选A项。
23．细节理解题。根据小标题The future of health下的“Hospitals are the costliest part in the health system, Prevention will become the center of attention as we gain greater control of our health information.(医院是卫生系统中最昂贵的部分，随着我们对健康信息的控制越来越大，预防将成为关注的中心)”可知，预防将成为人们关注的焦点。故选C项。
24．B 25．D 26．C 27．D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了意大利研究人员开发的世界上第一个可食用的可充电电池。这个电池由可食用材料制成，可以在人体消化系统中使用，为小型电子设备提供能量。
24．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Around 3,500 Americans ingest (摄入) batteries every year. It’s apparently such a repeating issue that even a specific hotline was built in the event of such an emergency.(每年大约有3500名美国人摄入电池。这显然是一个反复出现的问题，甚至在发生这种紧急情况时还专门设立了热线。)”可知，开发可食用电池的必要性是因为人们可以避免吃电池造成的伤害。故选B。
25．词句猜测题。根据划线词前面的内容“although recent research proved…(尽管最近的研究证明了……)”以及后文“fully eatable electronic devices and eatable power sources are still required, of which there have been very few examples(完全可食用的电子设备和可食用电源仍然是必需的，这方面的例子很少。)”可知，尽管最近的研究证明了可食用传感器和电路的可能性，但是对其必要性值得商榷。故划线词与D选项“Possibility.(可能性)”为同义词。故选D。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种能够通过电解水和氧气的电化学反应直接从烟道气等气体源中去除二氧化碳的系统。这项技术的成果可以将直接空气捕获转变为减缓气候变化的有希望的前沿技术。该系统可以适用于各种场景，并且通过使用可再生能源供电，可以几乎没有碳足迹。
28．推理判断题。根据第二段“Most carbon-capture systems involve a two-step process: First, high-pH liquids are used to separate the carbon dioxide, which is acidic, from mixed-gas streams such as flue gas. Next, the carbon dioxide is regenerated from the solution through heating or by injecting a low-pH liquid. (大多数碳捕获系统包括两个步骤：首先，使用高ph值液体从混合气流(如烟道气)中分离酸性二氧化碳。接下来，二氧化碳通过加热或注入低ph值液体从溶液中再生。)”可知，在第2段中，作者解释了目前的碳捕获过程，包括两个步骤和这个过程的缺点由此凸显出本文中最新的碳捕系统的优点，由此第二段目的在于为主题提供基本证据。故选B。
29．细节理解题。根据第三段中“There are literally no chemicals produced or consumed with our process. We also don’t need to heat up or pressurize our device, we just need to put it into a power outlet and it will work.

30．推理判断题。根据第四段中“Another drawback of current carbon-capture technologies is their reliance on large-scale, centralized infrastructure. By contrast, the system developed in the Wang lab is an extensible, modular, point-of-use concept that can adapt to a variety of scenarios. (当前碳捕获技术的另一个缺点是它们依赖于大规模的集中式基础设施。相比之下，Wang实验室开发的系统是一个可扩展的、模块化的、使用点的概念，可以适应各种场景。)”可知，作者是通过作比较的方式，指出了Wang实验室开发的系统即通过作比较支撑文章的主题。故选A。
31．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Wang notes that the process has “no carbon footprint or a very limited footprint” if powered by electricity from renewable sources such as solar or wind. “This is great news considering that renewable electricity is becoming more and more cost-effective,” Wang says. (Wang指出如果使用太阳能或风能等可再生能源供电，该过程“没有碳足迹或碳足迹非常有限”。王说：“考虑到可再生电力正变得越来越划算，这是一个好消息。”)”可知，如果考虑可再生电力等再生能源进行供电实施该技术，整个过程中“没有碳足迹或碳足迹非常有限”，这对环境来说是极其友好的，由此推断，作者对该技术的态度是赞同的。故选B。

34．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“In their community, the Petersens have a great passion for responsible land use and its benefits for the food system. They realized early on how farmland preservation is connected to all sorts of land use issues, so they got involved on many levels. Steve chairs the local planning committee. And Jan not only started the community’s farmers’ market, but also serves on the county Brownfield Redevelopment Authority, encouraging businesses to redevelop ignored properties. Together, the Petersens also brought historic property in their community back to life.(在他们的社区里，彼得森一家对负责任的土地使用及其对粮食系统的好处有着极大的热情。他们很早就意识到农田保护是如何与各种土地使用问题联系在一起的，所以他们参与了很多层面。史蒂夫是当地规划委员会的主席。简不仅创办了社区的农贸市场，还在the county Brownfield Redevelopment Authority任职，鼓励企业重新开发被忽视的房产。彼得森夫妇还一起使他们社区的历史财产恢复了生机)”可知，彼得森夫妇他们成立了各种各样的组织使土地得到合理利用。故选D项。
35．主旨大意题。根据第二段“Jan and Steve created a family of sustainability advocates.(简和史蒂夫创建了一个可持续发展倡导者家庭)”以及最后一段““We feel we are caretakers of not just the land on this fifth generation farm, but also the historic house and barns, around 1871, here on the Petersen Farm. We always hope the wildlife appreciates our commitment to avoiding farming the whole place into the ground,” say the Petersens.(“我们觉得我们不仅是这个第五代农场的土地的守护者，也是彼得森农场1871年左右的历史房屋和谷仓的守护者。我们一直希望野生动物能感激我们的承诺，避免把整个地方开垦成土地，”彼得森夫妇说)”以及纵观全文可知，本文主要讲述了Petersen夫妇在可持续农业中的做法和努力，所以A项“A Family’s Efforts to Protect Land(一个家庭保护土地的努力)”是本文最好的标题。故选A项。

67．It suddenly occurred to me that having a cat in our house might help. “You want to get a kitten ” I asked Mary. “Oh, Yes!” she relied eagerly. “I want an orange tabby. A male!” The next morning, I called shelters, but no one had any kittens, let alone a male orange tabby. I was about to give up when one shelter responded telling me that an 8-week kitten who lost his mom was seeking help and they also sent a photo. Showing the photo to Mary, I was pleased to see her eyes round, sparkling with excitement. “This is exactly my dream kitten. Do get it for me, please, mom.” Mary begged in a thrilled tone, holding my arm with wild joy. It was so long since we got that close to interact that I was almost moved to tears.
We immediately decided to take the cat from the shelter home. Having made preparations together, we waited eagerly for the new member to arrive. Then came Ron, named by my daughter, a really active fellow who often brought laughter to us everywhere he popped up. Mary worked with me to look after him, train him and enjoy her time with Ron. To my great joy, I could hear more laughter from Mary, who shared loads of warm scenes of the whole family having fun together in her Instagram posts instead of locking herself in the study all day long. In a sense, the invisible wall between us seemed to have been broken down. Sometimes, there is no need to seek magic for a change, and a bond that clicks alive can work miracles .
