or else people might get hurt. Joshua began this project a few months ago with just a bucket of water and a cleaning cloth. The neighborhood saw his efforts and was immediately inspired. Many neighbors called to give their thanks to Joshua, and some even donated money to him. Joshua has refused to use the money for anything for himself. Instead, he decided to buy meals for others in need during this time. He explained that his family is still doing well, but many people cannot work and currently don’t have access to healthy foods. Joshua is truly a wonderful young man who we should all pare ourselves with.21.D22.C23.A【分析】這是一篇應(yīng)用文。文章介紹了Echo、Nancy和Maggie三人品嘗碗豆奶的感受。21.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中“We tried the milk on its own, as well as in a cup of good old English breakfast tea to see if we could taste the difference.(我們單獨(dú)嘗試了豌豆奶,以及一杯添加了豌豆奶的古老英國(guó)早餐茶,看看我們是否能品嘗到不同的味道)”可知,他們品嘗了碗豆奶和加了碗豆奶的茶是為了區(qū)分兩者的味道。故選D。22.推理判斷題。根據(jù)Echo, Assistant Life Editor部分中““It smells like normal tea, and if no one told me it was pea milk, I wouldn’t know. I was expecting a strong pea taste. It’s perfect if you’re not keen on other milk alternatives sweet and creamy for me.”(“它聞起來(lái)像普通的茶,如果沒(méi)人告訴我這是豌豆奶,我也不會(huì)知道。我還以為會(huì)有濃烈的豌豆味呢。如果你不喜歡其他對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)甜的和奶油的牛奶替代品,這很完美。”)”可推知,Echo贊成豌豆奶。故選C。23.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Nancy, Life Editor部分中“First impression: well, it’s not green. In fact, it has more a grey tint in the glass. On its own, the milk surprisingly sweet, and I don’t like it. However, when you think about it being made from peas, it has a touch of their metallic aftertaste, too. (第一印象:它不是綠色的。事實(shí)上,它在玻璃杯里更帶有些灰色的色彩。奶本身就很甜,我不喜歡。然而,當(dāng)你想到它是用豌豆做的,它也有一種金屬的余味)”以及Maggie, Audience Editor部分中““I never thought I’d want peas in my tea. The tea with pea milk tasted similar to a ‘normal’ cup of tea, with other various plantbased milk. Of course, it’s a choice. I would give it a go as the alternative milk. On its own, I am not so keen.”(“我從沒(méi)想過(guò)要在茶里加豌豆。加了豌豆奶的茶嘗起來(lái)和“普通”茶類似,還有其他各種植物奶。當(dāng)然,這是一種選擇。我會(huì)嘗試用它來(lái)代替牛奶。就其本身而言,我并不熱衷?!?”可知,Nancy和Maggie都覺(jué)得豆奶沒(méi)有那么受歡迎。故選A。24.C25.C26.D27.C【分析】本文是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了一封特別的信,將兩個(gè)家庭緊密地聯(lián)系在一起。24.詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)文章第二段“When one life is taken, another is given.(當(dāng)一個(gè)生命被奪走,另一個(gè)生命就會(huì)被賦予。)”及劃線詞前半句“For one person who passed away,(一個(gè)人去世了)”可知,另一個(gè)生命取代了他。所以supersedes為“取代”之意。故選C。25.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段“In her time of heartbreak, Jamie found fort in the new life that followed her dad’s death, so she wrote the letter and asked the nurses to give it to the baby whose birth caused the music.(在心碎的時(shí)刻,杰米在父親去世后的新生活中找到了安慰,所以她寫了這封信,讓護(hù)士們把它送給了那個(gè)誕生了音樂(lè)的嬰兒。)”可知,杰米寫這封信是因?yàn)樾律膵雰菏顾玫搅税参?。故選C。26.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章最后一段“She and her husband agreed that their son’s middle name should be James. (她和丈夫一致同意,兒子的中間名應(yīng)該是詹姆斯。)”可知,這對(duì)夫婦閱讀過(guò)信之后決定以杰米父親的名字為孩子的中間名。故選D。27.主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章最后一段“And over the course of the last year, the two families have kept in touch and bee fast friends. (在過(guò)去的一年里,這兩個(gè)家庭一直保持著聯(lián)系,成為了好朋友。)”及全文內(nèi)容可知,文章主要講述了一封特別的信,將兩個(gè)家庭緊密地聯(lián)系在一起。所以“A Letter Brought Two Families Together(一封信使兩個(gè)家庭聚在一起)”作為文章標(biāo)題最為合適。故選C。28.B29.A30.B31.D【分析】這是一篇說(shuō)明文。塑料奶瓶在加熱時(shí)會(huì)釋放微塑料,但研究人員認(rèn)為微塑料對(duì)人體的影響尚不清楚,家長(zhǎng)不必過(guò)于擔(dān)心。28.詞義猜測(cè)題。結(jié)合第二段劃線詞后面一句“While the health effects of microplastics are still unknown”及文章最后一段中“At the moment, there is no need to be afraid”可知,微塑料對(duì)健康的影響尚不清楚,目前不必害怕,由此可推知,劃線句“The last thing we want to do is unduly alarm parents”意為“我們最不想做的事情就是過(guò)度警告家長(zhǎng)”。“unduly”意為“過(guò)度”。故選B項(xiàng)。29.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中“He remends letting plastic bottles cool pletely after sterilization(消毒) in hot water, then washing them out at least three times with water that’s been allowed to cool to room temperature after being sterilized by boiling.(他建議讓在熱水中消毒后的塑料奶瓶完全冷卻,然后用通過(guò)煮沸消毒后冷卻至室溫的水沖洗至少三次。)”和“Researchers here also found that plastic tea kettles, plastic instant noodle cups and plastic food storage containers all released similarly high levels of microplastics when subjected to heat.(研究人員還發(fā)現(xiàn),塑料茶壺、塑料方便面杯和塑料食物儲(chǔ)存容器在受熱時(shí)都會(huì)釋放出同樣高水平的微塑料。)”可知,塑料制品在受熱時(shí)會(huì)釋放出微塑料,所以溫度在微塑料的釋放中起作用。故選A項(xiàng)。30.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中“Schwabl said that points to a need for more research into microplastics released from plastic food storage containers, especially when they are subjected to higher temperatures.( Schwabl說(shuō),這表明有必要對(duì)塑料食品儲(chǔ)存容器釋放的微塑料進(jìn)行更多的研究,特別是當(dāng)它們處于較高溫度下時(shí)。)”可知,Schwabl對(duì)微塑料是關(guān)心的態(tài)度。故選B項(xiàng)。31.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句“Researchers here also found that...”及第三段中“He noted some research has found microplastics can cause inflammation(發(fā)炎) in the organs, while other studies “show they do not harm.”(他指出一些研究發(fā)現(xiàn)微塑料可以導(dǎo)致器官發(fā)炎,而其他的研究“表明它們沒(méi)有害處?!?”可知,文章是通過(guò)對(duì)比研究結(jié)果來(lái)進(jìn)行敘述的。故選D項(xiàng)。32.D33.A34.D35.C【分析】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。文章主要講述的是食物浪費(fèi)。美團(tuán)網(wǎng)與包括中國(guó)總商會(huì)和中國(guó)烹飪協(xié)會(huì)在內(nèi)的一些商業(yè)組織共同發(fā)布了一份提案,呼吁餐館停止食物浪費(fèi),幫助顧客養(yǎng)成新的飲食習(xí)慣。文章介紹了采取的三種食物浪費(fèi)的好方法。32.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中“Recently Meituan copublished a proposal with a number of business organizations, including the China General Chamber of Commerce and China Cuisine Association, calling on restaurants to stop food waste and help cultivate new eating habits for customers.(最近,美團(tuán)與中國(guó)商會(huì)、中國(guó)烹飪協(xié)會(huì)等多家商業(yè)組織聯(lián)合發(fā)布了一份提案,呼吁餐館停止食物浪費(fèi),幫助顧客培養(yǎng)新的飲食習(xí)慣)”可知,美團(tuán)發(fā)起這樣的提議是為了防止食物浪費(fèi)。故選D。33.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中“The Wuhan Catering Association proposed an “N1” ordering code for restaurants in which a group of 10 diners would only order enough for nine people. More food is only brought to the table if required.(武漢市餐飲協(xié)會(huì)為餐廳提出了“N1”訂餐規(guī)則,即10位用餐者只點(diǎn)9個(gè)人的餐。更多的食物只有在需要的時(shí)候才會(huì)被帶到餐桌上)”可推知,第三段中提到的武漢市餐飲協(xié)會(huì)的提案可以避免食物浪費(fèi),是很好的實(shí)踐。故選A。34.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段中“To curb portrayals of food waste on social media platforms, popular Chinese video platforms such as Douyin and Kuaishou have stepped up content reviews of foodrelated live streams and implemented regulation of online eating shows.(為了遏制社交媒體平臺(tái)上對(duì)食物浪費(fèi)的描述,國(guó)內(nèi)流行的視頻平臺(tái),如抖音和快手,已經(jīng)加強(qiáng)了對(duì)與食物相關(guān)的直播的內(nèi)容審查,并實(shí)施了對(duì)在線飲食節(jié)目的監(jiān)管)”可知,D選項(xiàng)“在線飲食節(jié)目受到媒體平臺(tái)監(jiān)管”正確。故選D。35.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“Meituan and the organizations are advocating that merchants offer guidance for consumers, including reminding them during the ordering process about the taste of the ingredients, portion sizes and other information about the dishes, to help them avoid food waste due to misleading information. (美團(tuán)和該組織倡導(dǎo)商家為消費(fèi)者提供指導(dǎo),包括在點(diǎn)餐過(guò)程中提醒他們食材的味道、分量大小和其他有關(guān)菜肴的信息,以幫助他們避免因誤導(dǎo)性信息造成的食物浪費(fèi))”;第三段中“Ca
