    One supermarket chain in Finland has come up with a way to reduce food waste. All 900 S-Market stores throughout the country knock 60 percent off already-reduced meat and fish at 9 o’clock each evening in an effort to move it off shelves before expiring (过期) at midnight.

It’s part of a two-year campaign to reduce food waste that company managers decide to call “happy hour” in the hope of drawing in regulars.

It makes customers get super-cheap food, retailers (零售商) don’t have to pay for disposal (and earn more than if they donated the food), and it eases the burden on the planet.

Reducing food waste is not often enough seen as an effective solution to the climate crisis. Energy, for example, receives more focus than food, and yet food is something that individuals can and should solve on a personal level. A recent UN report stated that a shocking one-third of food produced for human consumption never gets eaten. This equals 1.3 billion tons of food worth $ 680 billion. From the report：

“Causes of food loss and waste differ greatly between developed and developing countries, as well as between regions. Reducing this loss and waste would reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve food security.”

Supermarkets are well positioned to make a difference when it comes to food waste, but they have to be willing to accept some financial losses. Reducing prices on nearly-expired food is an excellent place to start, as is doing away with bulk discounts, e. g. two for the price of one, which encourages over-buying.

Individuals have a responsibility, too, to eat more of what they buy. Take a moment to look at the contents of your refrigerator and pantry (食品储藏室) before shopping and work with what you have, in order of how soon items will expire. Don’t be influenced by in-the-moment desires that are unlikely to get used in their entirety. Consider mentioning the S-Market initiative (新方案) to your local grocery store, in hopes that it, too, will consider carrying a happy hour of sorts out.

24．What does S-Market’s act result in?

A．Greater recognition. B．A win-win-win situation.

C．More financial profit. D．More new customers.

25．What can we know about food waste?

A．People are fully aware of the problem.

B．Solving it is an effective way to fight climate crisis.

C．People need to quickly find out the reason for food waste.

D．There's more food waste in developed countries than in developing countries.

26．In the last paragraph, the author advises readers to_______.

A．buy with care

B．join their local grocery stores’ campaign

C．come up with new ways to solve food waste

D．make sure there’s enough space for food in the fridge

27．What is the best title for the text?

A．It Is Everyone’s Responsibility to Solve Food Waste

B．Food Waste Hasn’t Been Taken Seriously Enough

C．Finnish Supermarkets Use “Happy Hour” to Fight Food Waste

D．Finnish Supermarkets Sell Nearly-expired Food Uniquely

C

Student loan (贷款) debt has become a worldwide problem. In America, the country's overall student debt reached a record of $1.6 trillion in 2019. The average person with student loan debt owed between $20,000 and $25,000. A recent Japanese government report says it has been lending over $9 billion yearly to students since 2010. Similar conditions exist in Africa and South America.

Several factors account for high student loan debt. One is that employers everywhere have increased their demands for skilled workers, making higher education a requirement for many jobs. The students, however, after graduation, often find that their country's economy is not strong enough to support their financial needs, so their ability to pay back the loan becomes a problem.

To solve the problem, many countries are seeking their ways. Australia has developed a system where students do not have to pay anything back until they are earning at least $40,000 a year. In America, several candidates running for president in the 2020 election have offered more extreme solutions that all or at least some of these loans will be forgiven.

Some professors in several universities recently studied what the effects of debt forgiveness might be. They found that, overall, sudden debt relief greatly improved the borrowers' lives. Not only did they have more money, but they were more likely to move to a new area and seek better paying work.

Yet the professors' research doesn't include what might happen to financial institutions or the overall economy if debt were totally forgiven. It only looks at how debt forgiveness would help the borrowers. They warn of some other possible negative effects. If a borrower knew that if he ran into any trouble he would be saved because he could get the debt relief, then he might actually become more reckless (轻率的) with his borrowing in the future.

No matter what, the professors agree that if countries do decide to approve some student debt relief the neediest students should be helped first.

28．How does the author introduce the problem of student loan?

A．By making a comparison. B．By making classifications.

C．By presenting some statistics. D．By setting down general rules.

29．What can we learn about student loan debt relief?

A．It will surely provide some benefits to borrowers.

B．It has already been carried out in the United States.

C．It aims to encourage more students to borrow money.

D．It will prevent a person from landing a well-paying job.

30．What is the professors' attitude to debt forgiveness?

A．Uncaring. B．Positive.

C．Disapproving. D．Cautious.

31．What's the main idea of the text?

A．Student loan debt is the most serious problem worldwide.

B．Growing global student debt fuels search for solutions.

C．Student loan debt tends to pull the needy out of trouble.

D．People hold different opinions on debt forgiveness.

D

One of the most dangerous insects you need to watch out for during summer is mosquitoes. But no matter how you try to avoid them, some people naturally attract mosquitoes more than others.

One of the most important facts to remember is that mosquitoes track people down by smell and body odour(气味), according to Bart Knols, PhD, a biologist devoted to the study of mosquitoes. The carbon dioxide people breathe out, along with chemicals from the skin, creates an “odour plume” that mosquitoes can detect from up to almost 100 feet away. “Each person gives off more than 300 chemicals from the skin, more than 100 in breathing out,” Knols says.

The specific mixtures on the skin that mosquitoes respond to vary by species. The yellow fever mosquito and Asian tiger mosquito, for example, respond well to lactic acid from skin. African malaria mosquitoes respond to a mix of fatty acids, according to Knols. Your individual mixtures and smells determine how much of a mosquito attraction you are, depending on the mosquito species. The mix of chemicals you produce are only partly in your control. These chemicals depend on your genetic make-up, health condition, diet, skin pH, and so on. “Bacteria(细菌)on the skin break down the mixtures that we give off through our pores(毛孔), and these are the attractive smells,” Knols says. “So it is not actually we that attract mosquitoes, but the bacteria on our skin.”

Although this is a complex and partly understood phenomenon, Knols says that we do all have a unique smell. There are many folk stories about why some people are more or less attractive to mosquitoes. Some people falsely think the blood type is the cause, and others believe taking vitamin B or eating garlic makes people less attractive to mosquitoes—but Knols notes there’s no scientific data backing these claims.

32．What do we learn from the second paragraph?

A．Mosquitoes can detect people with smell. B．Nobody can avoid mosquitoes anyway.

C．A person breathes out over 300 chemicals. D．People naturally attract mosquitoes.

33．Why does the author take several kinds of mosquitoes for example?

A．To persuade readers to protect the environment.

B．To warn people against touching mosquitoes.

C．To show different mosquitoes react to mixtures.

D．To make people look out for poisonous mosquitoes.

34．What draws mosquitoes according to Bart Knols?

A．Chemicals in the mouth. B．Mixtures people give off.

C．Smells from the pores. D．Bacteria on the skin.

35．What is the best title for the text?

A．The Scientific Reason You Are a Mosquito Attraction

B．Folk Stories about How Mosquitoes Attack People

C．Attitudes toward Mosquitoes Different People Have

D．Ways to Make People More and More Attractive

It's Alarming: What Wakes You Up Each Morning?

How do you wake up in the morning? If you set an alarm on your phone or clock that sounds like this: beep beep beep? 36．    Sleep inertia is another term for grogginess(昏睡), which means a person has a heavy feeling when waking up, and has trouble getting moving again after sleeping,

37．     A recent study says yes. The answer is music. Researchers say alarms that have a melody—like the beginning of this song—can help people feel fresher in the morning.

The study, carried out by researchers in Australia, involved 50 people. The study subjects answered questions about the alarm sound they like to wake up to, how they feel about that sound and how they feel when they wake up. 38．    However, it is early days and more work is needed to fully know the answer.

So, what makes musical alarms better for waking up? The researchers think the music may be more successful in reducing grogginess because it has several tones, compared to the single tone of a "beeping" alarm. 39．    And is there a kind of music that is best to wake up to? There may be 40．    However, no matter how you wake up, experts say, the amount of sleep you get also matters a lot.

A．Can musical alarms work wonders？

B．So, is there a better way to do the trick？

C．This can help you fall asleep more quickly and easily.

D．Alarm sounds that are tune full and easy to hum or sing along with may be good choices.

E. The researchers found that people who wake up to musical alarms reported feeling more awake and alert.

F. The changes over time between the music tones may help increase a person's attention when waking from sleep.

G. That hard, unpleasant sound may be making it harder to shake off the sleepy feeling in the morning known as grogginess.

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。续写的词数应为150左右。

I couldn't even sort through the first box of our dog Bama's toys without bursting into tears. My husband, Alan, found me sitting on the floor, holding our dog's favorite toy. He gently pulled me to my feet. "It's okay, Lisa," he said. "I'll put these away. Why don't you go outside and get some air?"

I nodded.

It had been a few months since our beloved Bama had passed away. Alan and I didn't have children. Our boxer (拳师犬) was our baby. After Bama's death, we couldn't bring ourselves to go through his toys to decide what to keep. I told myself I'd do it when I was ready. Apparently, I still wasn't.

Now I sat on my front porch (门廊) and sobbed. Friends and family had suggested we get another dog, but Alan and I dismissed the idea. We couldn't go through that kind of heartbreak again.

I gazed out over the yard. Across the street was a dog. A boxer. Was he real or just my wishful imagination? I blinked. The boxer was still there. We locked eyes. He came across the street, straight toward me. Hesitantly, I offered my hand. He sniffed it eagerly then he licked (舔) me. I let out a surprised laugh. He pushed his head into my lap to be petted.

This dog was younger than Bama, smaller. He was well-fed and well-dressed. He wore a collar but had no ID．I knew he must belong to someone in the neighborhood, but I'd never seen another boxer around. I would have remembered if I had.

"Where did you come from?" I asked the dog, scratching him behind the ears.

He just sat there at ease. He didn't seem lost. Just as if he were dropping by for a visit.

"Alan!" I called. "You have to come to see this!"

Alan joined me, and we sat together in surprise for a moment. Then the boxer got up and slowly ran off.

答案解析

第一部分  听力（共两节，满分30分）

【答案】1-5 CACCA   6-10 ABABC   11-15 CCBCA   16-20 BACCB

第二部分  阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）

第一节（共15小题；每小题2.2分，满分37.5分）

【答案】21-23 BCA

【答案】24-27 BBAC

【答案】28-31 CADB

【解析】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了学生债务成全球性问题，各国都在寻求解决方案。

28．推理判断题。由第一段可知，在美国，2019年全国学生债务总额达到了创纪录的1.6万亿美元。平均每个学生的助学贷款在2万到2.5万美元之间。日本政府最近的一份报告说，自2010年以来，日本每年向学生发放的贷款已经超过90亿美元。非洲和南美洲也存在类似的情况。所以判断出作者通过展示一些统计数据介绍学生贷款的问题。故选C项。

29．细节理解题。由倒数第三段“They found that, overall, sudden debt relief greatly improved the borrowers' lives. Not only did they have more money, but they were more likely to move to a new area and seek better paying work.”可知，他们发现，总的来说，突然的债务减免极大地改善了借款人的生活。他们不仅有更多的钱，而且更有可能搬到一个新的地区，寻找更高收入的工作。所以债务减免肯定会给借款人带来一些好处。故选A项。

30．推理判断题。根据第四段中They found that, overall, sudden debt relief greatly improved the borrowers' lives. Not only did they have more money, but they were more likely to move to a new area and seek better paying work.可知，教授们认为免除学生债务是有好处的，这大大改善借款人的生活，他们不仅有更多的钱，而且更有可能搬到一个新的地区，寻找薪水更高的工作。再根据第五段中Yet the professors’ research doesn’t include what might happen to financial institutions or the overall economy if debt were totally forgiven. It only looks at how debt forgiveness would help the borrowers. They warn of some other possible negative effects.可知，他们的研究不包括如果完全免除债务，金融机构或整个经济可能会发生什么。它只着眼于债务免除将如何帮助借款人。他们警告说，还有其他一些可能的负面影响。由此判断出，教授们对债务免除的态度是谨慎的。故选D项。

31．主旨大意题。由第一段“Student loan (贷款) debt has become a worldwide problem.”学生贷款债务已经成为一个世界性的问题。由第三段“To solve the problem, many countries are seeking their ways.”为了解决这个问题，许多国家都在寻找解决方案。所以短文主要是关于不断增长的全球学生债务促使各国寻找解决方案。故选B项。

【答案】32-35 ACDA

【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了蚊子追踪人们的嗅觉和体味，人的皮肤会产生很多不同的物质，而不同的蚊子对皮肤的不同物质反应不同。

32．细节理解题。根据第二段的One of the most important facts to remember is that mosquitoes track people down by smell and body odour(气味), according to Bart Knols, PhD, a biologist devoted to the study of mosquitoes. 据专门研究蚊子的生物学家Bart Knols博士说，要记住的最重要的事实之一是蚊子通过气味和体味来追踪人。可知，蚊子可以通过气味探测人。故选A。

33．推理判断题。根据第三段的The specific mixtures on the skin that mosquitoes respond to vary by species. 蚊子对皮肤上的特定混合物有反应，这种混合物因物种而异。可知，下文列举黄热病蚊子和

亚洲虎蚊及非洲疟疾蚊子是为了表明不同的蚊子对不同的混合物反应不同。故选 C。

34．细节理解题。根据第三段的 Knols says. “So it is not actually we that attract mosquitoes, but the bacteria on our skin.”Knols说。“所以实际上吸引蚊子的不是我们自己，而是我们皮肤上的细菌。”可知，吸引蚊子的是皮肤上的细菌。故选D。

35．主旨大意题。文章介绍了蚊子追踪人们的嗅觉和体味，人的皮肤会产生很多不同的物质，而不同的蚊子对皮肤的不同物质反应不同。我们之所以吸引蚊子是因为我们皮肤上的细菌。因此，选项A“你吸引蚊子的科学原因”是本文的最佳标题。故选A。

第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）

【答案】36-40 GBEFD

【解析】这是一篇说明文。研究早上发现被音乐闹钟吵醒的人感觉更加清醒和警觉，音乐会使你在早晨摆脱困倦的感觉。文章介绍了研究结果，以及对什么样的音乐更适合起床进行了一些说明。

36．根据上文If you set an alarm on your phone or clock that sounds like this: beep beep beep?可知如果你在你的手机或闹钟上设置一个这样的声音：哔哔哔？由此可知，本句承接上文说明，设置“哔哔哔”闹钟的结果是，这种刺耳的、不愉快的声音可能会使你在早晨更难摆脱困倦的感觉。故G选项“这种刺耳的、不愉快的声音可能会使你在早晨更难摆脱困倦的感觉”最符合语境。故选G。

37．根据后文A recent study says yes. The answer is music.可知最近的一项研究给出了肯定的答案。答案是音乐。由此可知，本句是提问有没有更好的办法来叫醒自己起床，后文则给出回答：那就是音乐。故B选项“那么, 有没有更好的方法来达到这个目的呢？”符合语境，故选B。

38．根据上文The study, carried out by researchers in Australia, involved 50 people. The study subjects answered questions about the alarm sound they like to wake up to, how they feel about that sound and how they feel when they wake up.可知这项研究由澳大利亚的研究人员进行，共有50人参与。研究对象回答了以下问题：他们希望醒来时听到的闹钟声音，他们对这个声音的感觉，以及他们醒来时的感觉。由此可知，本句应当是说明这项研究的结果。故E选项“研究人员发现被音乐闹钟吵醒的人感觉更加清醒和警觉”符合语境。故选E。

39．结合上文The researchers think the music may be more successful in reducing grogginess because it has several tones, compared to the single tone of a "beeping" alarm.可知研究人员认为，与“哔哔”闹钟的单一音调相比，音乐有好几个音调，因此可能更能有效地减少昏昏沉沉的感觉。由此可知，本句承接上文，说明音乐音调变化的好处是有助于提高一个人从睡梦中醒来时的注意力。故F选项“随着时间的推移, 音乐音调之间的变化可能有助于提高一个人从睡梦中醒来时的注意力”最符合语境，故选F。

40．根据上文And is there a kind of music that is best to wake up to? 可知那有没有一种音乐是最适合起床的呢？由此可知，本句回答上文的关于最适合起床音乐的问题。故D选项“闹铃声音是完整的调子，易于哼唱或唱歌可能是一个好的选择”最符合语境。故选D。

48．考查副词词义辨析。根据上文可知，Edwin T. Pratt是一位民权领袖，同时他为人民做了很多的事情。因此可知，一个小小的纪念碑是不够的。另外根据后文可知，Sarah觉得纪念碑几乎不够大，所以她找了一个学校来以他命名。故选D项。

49．考查名词词义辨析。前文提到了作为一位民权领袖，他帮助了很多人。同时Sarah觉得一个小小的纪念碑是不够的，是因为他“影响” 了很多人。故选A项。

54．考查动词词义辨析。根据上文提及的当Sarah觉得纪念碑太小，不足以纪念这位民权领袖时，她就找到新建学校的负责人，成功了说服他以Edwin T. Pratt来命名。由此可见Sarah有追求自己想法的勇气。故选D项。

【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了一位从事太极拳教学的西班牙人的事迹。

56．考查介词。句意：我和太极拳之间有很长的故事。between…and…意为“……和……之间”，符合句意。故填between。

57．考查时态和语态。句意：尽管1982年第一所武术学校在西班牙奥伦塞被创办，但直到1994年，他才到中国永年县来进修太极拳。结合时间状语in 1982可知，此处应该用一般过去时，“武术学校”和“创办”之间是被动关系，所以用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was founded。

58．考查动词不定式。句意：尽管1982年第一所武术学校在西班牙奥伦塞被创办，但直到1994年，他才到中国永年县来进修太极拳。分析可知，此处用动词不定式表目的，表示他来中国的目的是“进修”。故填to further。

59．考查时态。句意：从那时起（到现在），他已经来过中国二十多次。根据前文的“since then”和下文的“20 times”可知，句子用现在完成时，表示动作从过去持续到现在，有可能继续持续下去。故填has travel（l）ed。

60．考查副词。句意：对他而言，太极不仅仅是一项运动。分析可知，此处为副词作状语，修饰整个句子。故填simply。

61．考查名词性从句。句意：最吸引他的是根植于太极的道家哲学，其主要元素是柔和、缓慢、平衡和扎根的原则。分析可知，此处为what引导的主语从句作主语，what在从句中做主语，表示“最吸引他的是……”。故填What。

62．考查名词的数。句意：他的武术学校有大约150名学生，为初学者提供入门课程，学生年龄的范围从五岁以下到七十岁以上。分析可知，for后面用名词作宾语，表示“初学者”为beginner，为复数。故填beginners。

63．考查非谓语动词。句意：他的武术学校有大约150名学生，为初学者提供入门课程，学生年龄的范围从五岁以下到七十岁以上。分析可知，range与逻辑主语为主动关系，所以此处为现在分词作状语，表示“范围从……到……”。故填ranging。

64．考查非限制性定语从句。句意：他教过成千上万的学生，其中很多在比赛中获过奖。分析可知，逗号后面为非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词students，所以由many of whom来引导，whom作介词of的宾语，指代students，在从句中做主语。故填whom。

65．考查形容词。句意：Jose的家乡举办了许多免费的太极社区课程，太极是文化交流的重要桥梁。修饰名词exchange，应用形容词cultural。故填cultural。

第二节  读后续写（满分25分）

The next day, there was a strange scratching at the door. I opened it and found my unexpected guest—the mystery boxer, who seemed to still remember me. He came over lightly and licked my hand, as if trying to erase my painful memories. Seeing him follow me from room to room, I gradually felt the ache in my heart lessen. I suddenly realized that I could pass Bama's favorite toys to my guest. So each day I would stand at the front door, waiting for the happy moment when my guest came and played with the toys.

A week later, a young man I'd never seen before came in to visit. The man said his family had just moved to the neighborhood. He asked me if I happened to see a dog, a boxer recently. I said "Yes" and told him actually "my guest" had been paying me regular visits. He looked embarrassed and then apologized for the trouble his cutie caused for me. I told him there is no need to apologize and actually he was a big help in working through my grief. It has been three years since that day. Now Bama's toys don't just sit in the room, gathering dust.
