Growing up in England with a British father and a Chinese mother, I’ve enjoyed food from both countries ever since I was able to hold a knife and fork and chopsticks!
Mum has sweet memories of the food from her home town in Sichuan, and often cooks spicy dishes. Thanks to this, Dad has come to love hot pot! But there are still some dishes that Dad dare not try even after many years of marriage to my mother. Even today he still does not take to eating things like chicken feet. But I enjoy that sort of food myself.
Last week, I went to the butcher’s and asked, “Do you have pigs’ ears ” “No,” the butcher said, pulling at his own ears, “just these ordinary ones.” He must have thought I was joking. Dad can cook a super “full English breakfast” of bacon, eggs, beans, sausages and toast with butter. Mum and I just have to find a way to get him into the kitchen! He also does a typical Sunday roast. We all love roast beef and vegetables.
I’ll never forget my first visit to China. Mum encouraged me to try different kinds of food. But just when I thought I could deal with all Chinese food, I came across stinky tofu, a horrible grey thing that looked and smelt like a burnt sports shoe. I gathered all my courage to take a bite and was amazed to find it wasn’t so bad. It reminded me of blue cheese, a similarly strong smelling type of food you either love or hate. Maybe I’ll fall in love with stinky tofu, someday.
People say that one man’s meat is another man’s poison, but I feel at home with food from both my cultures.
What can we learn from this passage （细节推断）
I have enjoyed the food from two cultures since a little child.
Because of my Mum, Dad loves all kinds of Chinese food.
We all like roast beef and vegetables except Mum.
I have fallen in love the stinky tofu now.
25. What is the character of the butcher （推理判断）
A. Generous. B. Mean. C. Humorous. D. Serious.
26. What does the author mean by saying “one man’s meat is another man’s poison” （词句理解）
A. It means what one person likes may not be liked by someone else.
B. It means that one person likes it very much.
C. It means that one person cannot get satisfaction from it.
D. It means that one person’s food causes another man’s death.
27. What’s the main purpose of this passage （推理判断）
A. To introduce two different cultures.
B. To advise the readers to try some different food.
C. To show the different eating habits between China and Britain.
D. To tell a story about a child of his eating experience.
C
Under a midday summer sun in California’s Sacramento Valley, rice farmer Peter Rystrom walks across a dusty and bare plot of land, dry soil crunching beneath each step. In a typical year, he’d be walking across green rice fields in inches of water. But today the soil is dry and baking in the 35℃ heat. It hasn’t rained for 4 weeks in a row.
“Climate change is expected to worsen the state’s extreme swings in rainfall,” researchers reported in Nature Climate Change in 2018. Low water levels in rivers have forced farmers like Rystrom, whose family has been growing rice on this land for four generations, to reduce their water use.
“If we lose our rice crops, we have to deal with severe food crisis. Climate change is already threatening rice-growing regions around the world. This is not a future problem. This is happening now,” says plant geneticist Pamela Ronald of the University of California, Davis, who identifies genes in rice that help the plant stand up to dryness, disease, flood, etc.
To save and even boost production, rice growers, engineers and researchers have turned to water-saving irrigation routines. Building canal systems and reservoirs (水库) can help farmers dampen their fields. But for some, the solution to rice’s climate-related problems lies in enhancing the plant itself. They hold that establishing rice gene banks that store hundreds of thousands of rice varieties ready to be bred into new, dryness-tolerant varieties is more practical and effective. Solutions may be hidden in the DNA of those older breeds.
Three decades have passed since its initial development, and some researchers are looking beyond the genetic variability preserved in rice gene banks, searching instead for useful genes from other species, including plants and bacteria. But picking genes from one species and putting them into another, or genetic recombination, remains debatable. The most famous example of genetically changed rice is Golden Rice (GR). “Looking ahead, it will be crucial for countries to embrace GR rice. But it will take time,” says Ismail, principal scientist at IRRI,
What problem does Rystrom have to deal with （细节推断）
Thirst. B. Drought. C. Hot sun. D. Dusty weather.
29. What can be inferred from Para. 3 （推理判断）
A. The decline of rice-growing areas is severe now.
B. Climate change is a threatening factor in the future.
C. Humans will face starvation if crop failure happens.
D. Food crisis is a common occurrence around the world.
30. What’s the purpose of setting up gene banks （推理判断）
A. To store as many seeds as possible. B. To cultivate climate-adapted varieties.
C. To improve the efficiency of breeding. D. To show the technology of gene mapping.
31. What’s Ismail’s opinion about GR （推理判断）
A. Insecure. B. Impractical. C. Disapproving. D. Favourable.
D
Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman, who together identified a slight chemical change to messenger RNA, were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine this year.
Dr. Karikó, the 13th woman to win the prize, had come to the United States from Hungary two decades earlier when her research program there ran out of money. She was preoccupied by mRNA, which provides instructions to cells to make proteins. Defying the decades old belief that mRNA was clinically unusable, she hold the view that it would stimulate medical innovations.
She and Dr. Weissman had their first chance meeting over a copy machine at the University of Pennsylvania in 1998. At the time, Dr. Weissman was desperate for new approaches to a vaccine (疫苗) against HIV, which bad long proved impossible to defend against. A physician who had tried and failed for years to develop a treatment for AIDS, he wondered if he and Dr. Karikó could team up to make an HIV vaccine.
For years, they were at a loss. Mice vaccinated with mRNA became inactive. Countless experiments failed. They wandered down one dead end after another. But eventually, the scientists discovered that cells protect their own mRNA with a specific chemical modification (修饰). So they tried making the same change to mRNA manufactured in the lab before vaccinating it into cells. It worked.
At first, other scientists were largely uninterested in taking up that new approach to vaccination. But two biotech companies soon took notice: Moderna, in the United States, and BioNTech, in Germany. Then the coronavirus (冠状病毒) emerged. Almost instantly, Drs. Karikó and Weissman’s work came together with several factors of different research to put vaccine makers ahead of the game in developing shot.
Brian Ferguson, an immunologist at the University of Cambridge, said. “The work of Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman in the years prior to 2020 prevented tens of millions of deaths and helped the world recover from the worst pandemic in a century. They richly deserve this recognition.”
The underlined word “defying” (paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to “_______”.（词义）
A. challenging B. confirming C. re-emphasizing D. stating
33. Which of the following statements is TRUE about Dr. Karikó and Dr. Weissman’s research （细）
A. They teamed up for the treatment for AIDS in Hungary.
B. They protected their mRNA with a chemical modification.
C. They persevered until they made a change to lab-made mRNA．
D. They manufactured mRNA in mice despite their countless failures.
34. According to Brian Ferguson, Dr. Karikó and Dr. Weissman deserve the recognition because ___.
A. they took no notice of others’ ignorance
B. they caught attention of two biotech companies
C. their work helped avoid the loss of countless lives （细节理解）
D. their work prevented the outbreak of the pandemic
35. Which of the following is the best title for the passage （主旨大意）
A. Chemical Changes Identified in the Pandemic
B. Approaches Adopted to Defend Against HIV
C. Nobel Prize Awarded to Covid Vaccine Pioneers
D. mRNA Manufactured in a University Lab in USA

Live-stream marketing: A rural rags-to-riches story
For many years, quality agricultural products were unable to sell in faraway provinces. D 36 It prevented them from accessing a wider, urban client. In most cases, because farmers failed to directly reach consumers, their heavy physical labor resulted in very little income. In this regard（在这方面）, live-stream marketing may appeal to young migrant workers and convince them to return home in the countryside. 37 G
In Yunnan Province, southwest China, live-stream marketing is currently the most popular way of pushing local products to consumers across the country. 38 C It is turning the smartphone into a new farming tool by fashioning new shopping centers. Live-streaming has greatly boosted the province’s produce sales in the past two years. We now have a great business model in place, combining products with high-quality live stream platforms and support packages from the government. 39F Anyway, the continuous development of live-stream marketing is ready to play a big role in raising rural incomes in relatively backward provinces like Yunnan. E-commerce live-streaming is doing pretty well nowadays, but farm produce only accounts for a small share, mainly due to the lack of experienced hosts and infrastructure in rural areas.
40A How to grow live stream marketing for farm products Short videos or live-streams, the key is to meet consumers’ demand. High-quality products alone aren’t enough; they must consider buyers’ preferences as well.
There arises a question.
Government policies and guidance should follow up.
The expansion of 5G technology is a vital contribution.
The biggest barrier is lack of efficient marketing channels.
China has a tradition of intensive cultivation and a huge rural population.
But we should establish a complete supply chain based on strict standards.
Once back they can introduce more digitally advanced approaches to agricultural
management.

Dear Editor,
Knowing that The 21st Century Teens offers a chance for high school students to discuss the topic “Is studying abroad a good idea or a bad idea ”, I am writing to tell you about the discussion in our class.
Some students think it is a good idea to study abroad. First and foremost, while studying abroad, they can gain education and experience, which can be of help to their personal growth. Moreover, students can act as cultural envoys (ambassador) promoting cultural exchange. However, others hold the opposite view that studying abroad will cost arms and legs, which will add to their families' economic pressure. Additionally, they have to handle new challenges such as how to communicate and study with limited language skills and how to behave well in new surroundings.
Personally, I think we should treat studying abroad wisely. If your family can afford the tuition fees and you are independent, you can choose to study abroad.
Yours,
Li Hua

【原文】
Good evening, everyone. This is CBS Evening News. Here comes something warm. Last Friday, little Matthew was extremely excited as he stood in line to meet Father Christmas. Holding her six-year-old son’s hand tightly, his mother Misty was a little more concerned. Matthew is blind and has learning difficulties. His mom had no idea how this was going to work. Matthew was born 12 weeks early and is now blind in both eyes. Doctors also told Misty that Matthew’s brain scans showed he would never be able to talk. That, however, proved not to be true. When Matthew went to meet Father Christmas, Misty told him about her son’s condition. He bent down to meet Matthew. They chatted for a long time. Matthew was especially excited when Father Christmas told him to pull his beard and feel his red suit. “He was the best Father Christmas ever.” Matthew said.

A篇
【答案】21．B 22．D 23．A
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了澳大利亚的几个顶级主题公园和游乐园。
21．细节理解题。根据第2个标题The Big Banana Fun Park的第2句话“Guests can go roller skating at the ice-skating rink, enjoy water slides and play golf.(游客可以在溜冰场滑旱冰，享受水滑梯和打高尔夫球)”可知，游客可以在The Big Banana Fun Park打高尔夫球。故选B项。

24．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Growing up in England with a British father and a Chinese mother, I’ve enjoyed food from both countries ever since I was able to hold a knife and fork and chopsticks!(我在英国长大，父亲是英国人，母亲是中国人，自从我能拿刀叉和筷子以来，我就喜欢这两个国家的食物)”可知，作者从小就喜欢英国和中国这两个国家的美食。故选A。
25．推理判断题。根据文中“Last week, I went to the butcher’s and asked, ‘Do you have pigs’ ears ’ ‘No,’ the butcher said, pulling at his own ears, ‘just these ordinary ones.’(上周，我去肉店问：‘你们有猪耳朵吗 ’‘没有，’肉贩一边说一边揪着自己的耳朵，‘就是这些普通的。’)”可知，当作者问肉贩是否有猪耳朵时，他拽了拽自己的耳朵，说就只有这些普通耳朵，由此可推知肉贩很幽默。故选C。
26．词句猜测题。根据文章倒数第三句“It reminded me of blue cheese, a similarly strong smelling type of food you either love or hate.(这让我想起了蓝纹奶酪，一种同样气味浓烈的食物，你要么喜欢它，要么讨厌它)”可知，蓝纹奶酪这种食物有人很喜欢，也有人很讨厌，故作者说“一个人的肉对另一个人来说是毒药”意思是“一个人喜欢的东西可能不被另一个人喜欢”，故选A。
27．推理判断题。根据全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了作者作为一个中英混血儿，经历着两种不同的文化，在饮食上也是妙趣横生。由此可知，文章的写作目的是为了讲述一个关于一个孩子饮食经历的故事。故选D。

(河流的低水位迫使像Rystrom这样的农民减少用水量，他们的家庭已经在这片土地上种植了四代水稻)”可知，Rystrom急需解决田地干旱的问题。故选B项。
29．推理判断题。根据第三段中“If we lose our rice crops, we have to deal with severe food crisis.(如果我们失去了水稻作物，我们就必须应对严重的粮食危机)”可推知，如果农作物歉收，人类将面临饥荒。故选C项。
30．推理判断题。根据第四段中“They hold that establishing rice gene banks that store hundreds of thousands of rice varieties ready to be bred into new, dryness-tolerant varieties is more practical and effective. (他们认为，建立水稻基因库，储存成千上万的水稻品种，准备培育出新的耐旱品种，是更实际和有效的)”可推知，建立基因库的目的是为了培育适应气候的品种。故选B项。
31．推理判断题。根据最后一段中Ismail所说“Looking ahead, it will be crucial for countries to embrace GR rice. (展望未来，各国接受转基因大米将是至关重要的)”可推知，Ismail对Golden Rice是持赞成态度的。故选D项。

33．细节理解题。根据第四段“They wandered down one dead end after another, But eventually, the scientists discovered that cells protect their own mRNA with a specific chemical modification (修饰). So they tried making the same change to mRNA manufactured in the lab before vaccinating it into cells It worked.(无数的实验都失败了。他们在一个又一个死胡同里徘徊，但最终，科学家们发现细胞通过一种特殊的化学修饰来保护自己的mRNA。因此，他们尝试对实验室制造的mRNA进行同样的改变，然后将其接种到细胞中)”可知，关于Karikó博士和韦斯曼博士的研究，C选项“他们一直坚持，直到他们改变了实验室制造的mRNA”正确。故选C。
34．细节理解题。根据最后一段“The work of Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman in the years prior to 2020 prevented tens of millions of deaths and helped the world recover from the worst pandemic in a century. They richly deserve this recognition.(Katalin Karikó和Drew Weissman在2020年之前的几年里的工作防止了数千万人死亡，并帮助世界从一个世纪以来最严重的流行病中恢复过来。他们理应得到这样的认可)”可知，根据布莱恩·弗格森的说法，Karikó博士和韦斯曼博士应该得到认可，因为他们的工作帮助避免失去无数的生命。故选C。
35．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman, who together identified a slight chemical change to messenger RNA, were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine this year.(Katalin Karikó和Drew Weissman共同发现了信息RNA的轻微化学变化，他们被授予今年的诺贝尔生理学或医学奖)”结合文章解释了他们是如何研发出了针对冠状病毒的疫苗的。由此可知，C选项“诺贝尔奖授予冠状病毒疫苗先驱”最符合文章标题。故选C。

语法填空解析
【分析】
这是一篇新闻报道。中国于周二发射了第一个火星探测器——天问一号，文章介绍了其任务和意义。
56．
考查非谓语动词。句意：天问一号预期将在约7个月后抵达火星。本句使用了短语 expect sb./sth. to do“预计某人/某物做……”的被动结构，应使用不定式。故填to reach。
57．
考查形容词比较级。句意：去火星的任务比起去月球要难很多。根据语境和空后的 compared to“和······相比”可知，此处要用形容词的比较级 harder。故填harder。
58．
考查非谓语动词。句意：中国的火星任务，旨在掌握火星表面关键地区的地图信息，表明中国的空间科技在过去这些年发展迅速。分析句子结构可知，mission 后是非限制性定语，design 与mission 是逻辑上的动宾关系，故用过去分词形式。故填designed。
59．
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：中国的火星任务，旨在掌握火星表面关键地区的地图信息，表明中国的空间科技在过去这些年发展迅速。根据句中的时间状语 in the past years 可知，indicates 后的宾语从句要用现在完成时。宾语从句的主语是 the country’s space science and technology，应视为第三人称单数，故填 has progressed。注意：此处的 progress 是动词，意为“进步，发展”。故填has progressed。
60．
考查形容词。句意：这表现了中华民族探寻科学真相的决心和毅力。本空作定语修饰名词truth，应使用science的形容词形式scientific“科学的”。故填scientific。
61．
考查形式主语。句意：天问一号发射后立即引起了人们的关注，据报道在关于太空飞行和探索外太空的话题下人们议论纷纷。根据语境可知，and后的句子是“it is/was reported＋that从句”句型，意为“据报道……”，其中it是形式主语，that从句是真正的主语。故填it。
62．
考查名词。句意：每当国家在太空探索上实现突破时，人们对未知的好奇和求知欲都明显会被激发出来。本空与后面的thirst并列作主语，应使用名词curiosity表示“好奇心”。故填curiosity。
63．
考查副词。句意：每当国家在太空探索上实现突破时，人们对未知的好奇和求知欲都明显会被激发出来。本空所填词修饰谓语动词，应该用副词obviously“显然，明显地”。故填obviously。
64．
考查介词。句意：而宇航员、科学家和工程师们正成为越来越多年轻人的榜样。此处model 应与介词for搭配，表示“对于......”。故填for。
65．
考查定语从句。句意：这场“火星热”表明人们渴望了解太空，这就需要更多的创新从而发现更多我们所在的这个宇宙的信息。分析句子结构可知，空白前句本身是定语从句，关系代词为the universe，后句中live是不及物动词，考虑定语从句中缺少地点状语，应使用关系副词where。故填where。
