Popular topics during 2023 Spring Festival
E-CNY
Currently, 17 provincial-level regions in China have begun the use of digital yuan, or e-CNY. The Tianjin branch of China Construction Bank has also launched a digital yuan promotion activity, offering discounts of up to 50 percent to those who spend digital yuan on shopping during the Spring Festival holiday.
January box-office market
The first month of 2023 took a giant leap and became the highest-earning January of all time in China, selling a total of 201 million tickets for 10 million screenings in over 10,000 cinemas. Insiders said people started a new custom of going to cinemas during the Spring Festival and China’s improvement of COVID-19 control measures further made the January box-office earnings rise.
Tourism market
The Ministry of Culture and Tourism said the tourism market recovers remarkably, with an increase of 23.1% compared to the same period last year. As for the income of the domestic tourism industry, travel data showed Chengdu, Shanghai and Guangzhou were the top 3 domestic destinations. It is also said that more than 2.3 million people have crossed the border, with 1.2 million entering and 1.1 million exiting.
The year of the cat instead of rabbit
Why? Legend has it that the cat and the rat were riding across a river on an ox to win the last seat in the zodiac (生肖) when the rat pushed the cat into the water and won the race. However, in the Vietnamese version — where there was no rabbit — the cat could swim and ended up arriving first. Funny as the story is, the change actually has something to do with language misunderstanding, as the word tied to the sign of the rabbit and pronounced mao (卯) is similar to mèo, the Vietnamese word for cat.

B. Use e-CNY to promote an activity.

I’ve always described myself as a perfectionist. I wore it like a badge(徽章) of honor. I credited my perfectionism with good grades at school, turning in essays that were rewritten until they felt perfect. I’d always thought of myself as someone who tried his best, but the truth is that I was a quitter, not a trier. I gave up anything that I wasn’t immediately good at. I was so afraid of failing and I wasn’t even trying anymore. It tuned out that perfectionism actually means the fear of failure. And there was so much I wanted to try. There were so many things I felt sure I’d enjoy but never had a go at. What if I failed? What if I was rubbish? The idea was so unbearable that it was easier to leave it as the unknown. If I didn’t try, I couldn’t fail.
And then one day I accidentally stepped into an art supply store. Before I could stop myself, I bought a tiny set of paints, some paper, and brushes. I headed home full of anticipation, opened them up, and started painting. And the results were…really bad. Frustrated, I pushed everything into a drawer and decided to forget the idea. But then a weird thing happened—I kept thinking about being a quitter, so I got the paints back out and started again. I was still terrible at painting, but my motivation this time never lessened. I decided to share my paintings on social media, showing my progress and the efforts behind the scenes instead of the so-called perfection.
Now, three years later, I paint almost every day and have set up my own art business. I regularly fail and make a mess, but I never quit. And even better, I’m constantly trying new things that just a few years ago I couldn’t even have imagined. I enjoyed the moments in the painting workshops and attended drawing classes. I’ve made friends with fellow creatives from around the world. Most importantly, I’ve failed a bunch of times and just kept going. Because I’m no longer aiming for perfection or even excellence, I’m simply enjoying the process. And I’m so much happier. So pick something you’ve always wanted to try and get stuck in. You won’t regret it.
4. What can we know about the author from Paragraph 1?
A. He actually is proud to be a perfectionist.

Li Jiaqi is well-known to millions of Chinese women. He’s famous for his unparalleled live-stream sales records of make-up products especially lipsticks, which has made him a trusted KOL (key opinion leader). Li’s success is a good example of how luxury brands are increasingly turning to cooperation with popular Internet celebrities. However, a recent video of Li advertising for a non-stick pan, which is now being called the “rollover incident”, is making consumers question his credibility.
While it is widely believed that main-stream celebrities are much more appealing, cooperating with popular live-streaming hosts to get a share of the Chinese market has certain branding advantages. “Live-streaming hosts have far better promotion skills than main-stream celebrities,” says Xintong Liu, a young female professional working in Shanghai who watches Li’s live-streams regularly to purchase beauty products and clothing. KOLs also have more time to interact with their viewers than main-stream celebrities, with their live-streaming practice usually taking around six or seven hours daily, which creates a sense of intimacy between KOL and viewers. And consumers are more likely to purchase a product once some trust is built.
Though it seems to be extremely profitable working with these Internet celebrities, brands need to keep a few things in mind. First of all, you want to choose a KOL whose image and personality fit your brand. “Choosing a KOL indirectly states that the brand recognizes his or her style,” says Shuman Li, a Dior employee, who also said that Dior would tend to work with well-known KOLs with serious reputations rather than more humorous ones. Additionally, in working with KOLs, brands also need to identify if a KOL is as popular as he claims. As is often the case, many of the KOLs’ viewers and consumers are “shui jun” (paid viewers).
Finding a trustworthy KOL that fits your brand is the first step to success, but it’s not easy to find one as there are limited top KOLs available and they also necd to be familiar with your products.
8. How is the topic of text introduced?
A. By giving an example.
B. By analyzing the causes.
C. By describing the process.
D. By making a comparison.
9. What does the underlined word “intimacy” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Direction. B. Humor.
C. Responsibility. D. Closeness.
10. What kind of Internet celebrities will brands tend to cooperate with?
A. The ones who own numerous paid viewers.
B. The ones who match the brand well.
C. The ones who have a great sense of humor.
D. The ones who show interest in luxuries.
11. What’s the author’s attitude towards live-streaming hosts?
A. Favorable. B. Intolerant.
C Indifferent. D. Objective.
D
You drink diet soda enjoying the sweet taste without the guilt of calories. But scientists have long suspected a link between artificial sweeteners(甜味剂)and obesity in humans. A new study suggests that artificial sweeteners may not be as harmless as once thought. They may not only disturb the microbes(微生物)living in the bodies of humans, but some may even increase the risk of weight gain.
Every human hosts a unique group of microbes. The number of cells that make up this vast community, called microbiome(微生物群), is extremely large in the human body. It not only helps digestion but also protects against diseases. The disturbance to the microbiome occurs because artificial sweeteners, although zero calories for humans, serve as nutrients for some microbes, which then increase rapidly. This causes an imbalance in microbial populations that can lead to diseases.
In the study, scientists first chose 1,375 volunteers to see if they consumed artificial sweeteners in their daily lives. Then, they identified 120 volunteers who were not previously exposed to artificial sweeteners and gave them one of the four commonly used sweeteners—saccharin, sucralose, aspartame, and stevia for two weeks. After that, to test how artificial sweeteners affect the body’s ability to control the sudden increase of blood sugar after consuming sugar as part of meals, volunteers were monitored for blood glucose(血糖)levels after a test glucose drink.
The study showed that sucralose and saccharin pushed the body towards glucose intolerance, which, if sustained, can cause weight gain. However, aspartame and stevia did not affect glucose tolerance at the tested levels. “The study is the first to show that the human microbiome responds to artificial sweeteners. It’s also a convincing study to show how these sweeteners really are affecting the human body,” says Michael Goran, a professor at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles.
“This study provides evidence of both short-term harmful effects and long-term negative effects caused by artificial sweeteners,” David Katz, a nutrition specialist, says. “That does not mean artificial sweeteners should be replaced with sugar. Rather, alternative approaches to reducing sugar intake should be considered.”
12. What does the new study reveal?
A. Diet soda contains more calories than sugary drinks.
B. Exercise can help people reduce the risk of diseases.
C. Artificial sweeteners have negative effects on humans.
D. Obesity is the most common health problem among adults.
13. How do Sweeteners disturb the microbiome?
A. It probably destroys the function of digestion.
B. It usually causes a rapid loss of healthy cells.
C. It sometimes feeds harmful bacteria in the body.
D. It often leads to a sharp growth of certain microbes.
14. Which aspect of the experiment is talked about in Paragraph 3?
A. Its results. B. Its process.
C. Its background. D. Its subjects.
15. What does David Katz advise people to do?
A. Introduce a tax on sugary drinks.
B. Ban the use of artificial sweeteners.
C. Raise the prices of sugar-free drinks.
D. Find other ways to limit sugar intake.

Vegan Agriculture
Vegan farming (全素农业) has become more and more popular. It is one of the most environmentally-friendly forms of agriculture. Vegan farming is a good way to grow plants such as vegetables without using animal-derived materials such as their waste. ____16____ Such an approach to farming also helps preserve the environment and regain soil richness and improve its biodiversity.
____17____Organic farming uses natural products to grow plants — that can include even animal waste as fertilizers. On the other hand, vegan agriculture rejects animal-derived products and usually sticks with plant-based organic compounds, which means that, in general, vegan agriculture has stricter rules than organic farming.
Additionally, vegan farming usually chooses more natural ways to protect the plants, like breaking cycles of plants’ diseases with mixed cropping (混作), using mechanical barriers such as nets, or even attracting opposing organisms to fight the harmful ones. ____18____ However, they might be less effective against certain plant diseases or pests.
One of the reasons to invest in vegan agriculture is that the vegan way of farming replaces synthetic (合成的) pesticides and uses organic pesticides or other non-chemical methods to protect the crops. By contrast, in conventional agriculture, synthetic pesticides are on a very high level. ____19____
In the future, it is of great significance not to rely on animals’ waste for feeding plants. Doing so is not only beneficial to vegans. ____20____ Even if today’s methods of vegan agriculture might not be perfect, scientists worldwide, together with vegan farmers, are working towards developing plant-based solutions as alternatives to animal-derived fertilizers.
A. Accordingly, the amount of it in food products is much higher.
B. It is apparent that vegan agriculture is not the same as an organic one.
C. In today’s world, the vegan diet and lifestyle are increasingly popular.
D. But it’s also good for the whole world, including other animals and plants.
E. Those ways affect the environment less than the ways of traditional farming.
F. The rise of veganism creates new demand for more vegan-friendly agriculture.
G. Also, vegan farmers are far from applying synthetic fertilizers.

It was the worst day ever. The exact date was January10, 2010. And my life was changed completely when that accident happened.
Before that day I had just started my college life and loved being at that stage in my life where I could eat all the pizza I wanted, yet engage in adult conversations with my parents about the responsibility to make life better for others. I was pretty sure I could be someone in the future, a great volunteer maybe. Then on that day, all the possibilities were destroyed by a careless driver. The days I spent in hospital were dreadful, suffering severe pain and hearing the doctor telling me that I could never walk anymore.
When I was finally permitted to leave the hospital, I had myself in a small apartment and refused any visit, blaming everyone in the world and drowning myself to despair. After I missed ten calls from my dad, he just couldn’t leave me alone. And when he entered the apartment, it was in a mess, with pizza boxes on the floor and dirty dishes in the sink. In the corner, there was a garbage can around which were pieces of garbage and waste paper. He turned around and finally had his eyes on me. A few steps towards me and he stroke his fingers through my hair, gently asking, “You want to see something?” I felt a little guilty for making my dad so worried, so I faked a smile and nodded my head.
He opened my fridge, searched for a while and took out some ice and some tea leaves after boiling some water in a pot. Mysteriously, he put the ice in the boiling water. After a while, he asked, “How is the ice now?” “What?” I was a little confused about his question, wondering what he was about to do next. When he repeated the move and asked me the same question, I began to feel bored. “How is the ice now?” “What ice? There is no ice in the water now! It melted!” I answered with my eyes fixed on the roof. Suddenly, Dad held my head, looked at me straightly and explained, “The ice was once tough and hard.” Dad continued, “But when it was put in the pot, the boiling water melted it and made it disappear as if it had never existed, just like what the difficulties may do to one’s dream.”
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。
“Want to see something different?” Dad went on to pour a spoonful of tea leaves in the boiling water, too.

【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四个2023年春节期间的热门话题。
【1题详解】
推理判断题。根据E-CNY部分中的“The Tianjin branch of China Construction Bank has also launched a digital yuan promotion activity, offering discounts of up to 50 percent to those who spend digital yuan on shopping during the Spring Festival holiday.（中国建设银行天津分行也推出了一项数字人民币促销活动，春节期间用数字人民币购物的人可以享受高达50%的折扣。）”可知，天津的数字人民币促销活动的折扣力度很大。由此推知，天津居民在春节期间可能受到鼓励进行消费。故选A。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据January box-office market中的“The first month of 2023 took a giant leap and became the highest-earning January of all time in China, selling a total of 201 million tickets for 10 million screenings in over 10,000 cinemas.（2023年的第一个月是一个巨大的飞跃，成为中国有史以来收入最高的1月份，在1万多家影院放映了1000万场，共售出2.01亿张票。）”和Tourism market中的“The Ministry of Culture and Tourism said the tourism market recovers remarkably, with an increase of 23.1% compared to the same period last year.（文旅部表示，旅游市场明显恢复，与去年同期相比增长了23.1%。）”和“It is also said that more than 2.3 million people have crossed the border, with 1.2 million entering and 1.1 million exiting.（据称，已有230多万人出入境，其中120万人入境，110万人出境。）”可知，这两个话题都用了列数字的方法表现出了票房和旅游产业的恢复。故选D。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据The year of the cat instead of rabbit中的“Funny as the story is, the change actually has something to do with language misunderstanding, as the word tied to the sign of the rabbit and pronounced mao (卯) is similar to mèo, the Vietnamese word for cat.（虽然故事很有趣，但这种变化实际上与语言上的误解有关，因为这个与兔子的符号有关的单词发音为“卯”，与越南语中表示猫的词“mèo”相似。）”可知，越南用猫年代替兔年实际是因为汉语中兔的发音与越南语中猫的发音相似。故选C。
B
I’ve always described myself as a perfectionist. I wore it like a badge(徽章) of honor. I credited my perfectionism with good grades at school, turning in essays that were rewritten until they felt perfect. I’d always thought of myself as someone who tried his best, but the truth is that I was a quitter, not a trier. I gave up anything that I wasn’t immediately good at. I was so afraid of failing and I wasn’t even trying anymore. It tuned out that perfectionism actually means the fear of failure. And there was so much I wanted to try. There were so many things I felt sure I’d enjoy but never had a go at. What if I failed? What if I was rubbish? The idea was so unbearable that it was easier to leave it as the unknown. If I didn’t try, I couldn’t fail.
And then one day I accidentally stepped into an art supply store. Before I could stop myself, I bought a tiny set of paints, some paper, and brushes. I headed home full of anticipation, opened them up, and started painting. And the results were…really bad. Frustrated, I pushed everything into a drawer and decided to forget the idea. But then a weird thing happened—I kept thinking about being a quitter, so I got the paints back out and started again. I was still terrible at painting, but my motivation this time never lessened. I decided to share my paintings on social media, showing my progress and the efforts behind the scenes instead of the so-called perfection.
Now, three years later, I paint almost every day and have set up my own art business. I regularly fail and make a mess, but I never quit. And even better, I’m constantly trying new things that just a few years ago I couldn’t even have imagined. I enjoyed the moments in the painting workshops and attended drawing classes. I’ve made friends with fellow creatives from around the world. Most importantly, I’ve failed a bunch of times and just kept going. Because I’m no longer aiming for perfection or even excellence, I’m simply enjoying the process. And I’m so much happier. So pick something you’ve always wanted to try and get stuck in. You won’t regret it.

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“but the truth is that I was a quitter, not a trier(但事实是，我是一个放弃者，而不是一个尝试者)”；“I was so afraid of failing and I wasn’t even trying anymore. (我非常害怕失败，甚至不再尝试。)”；“And there was so much I wanted to try. There were so many things I felt sure I’d enjoy but never had a go at.(我想尝试的太多了。有太多我确信自己会喜欢但从来没有尝试过的事情。)”可知，作者有很多想尝试的事情，但因为害怕失败而不敢尝试。故选C。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“I decided to share my paintings on social media, showing my progress and the efforts behind the scenes instead of the so-called perfection.(我决定在社交媒体上分享我的画，展示我的进步和幕后的努力，而不是所谓的完美。)”可知，作者将画分享在社交媒体上来展示自己的进步和努力，他是想通过这种方式注重做事的过程。故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“I regularly fail and make a mess, but I never quit.(我经常失败，把事情搞得一团糟，但我从未放弃。)”和“Because I’m no longer aiming for perfection or even excellence, I’m simply enjoying the process. And I’m so much happier.(因为我不再追求完美甚至卓越，我只是享受这个过程。我也快乐多了。)”可知，作者经常失败但从不放弃，这说明他是一个坚持不懈的人；作者现在享受做事的过程并且变得开心多了，这说明他是一个乐观的人，不会因失败而沮丧。故选C。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“I’d always thought of myself as someone who tried his best, but the truth is that I was a quitter, not a trier.(我一直认为自己是一个做事竭尽全力的人，但事实是，我是一个放弃者，而不是一个尝试者。)”和最后一段中的“And even better, I’m constantly trying new things that just a few years ago I couldn’t even have imagined.(更棒的是，我不断尝试新事物，而这些新事物是我在几年前甚至无法想象的东西。)”可知，作者一开始是一个完美主义者，这是因为他不愿尝试新事物，后来偶然接触绘画的经历让他决定改变自己，他开始关注过程而不是结果，这让他变得愿意尝试新事物，克服了自己的完美主义情结。故选B。
C
Li Jiaqi is well-known to millions of Chinese women. He’s famous for his unparalleled live-stream sales records of make-up products, especially lipsticks, which has made him a trusted KOL (key opinion leader). Li’s success is a good example of how luxury brands are increasingly turning to cooperation with popular Internet celebrities. However, a recent video of Li advertising for a non-stick pan, which is now being called the “rollover incident”, is making consumers question his credibility.
While it is widely believed that main-stream celebrities are much more appealing, cooperating with popular live-streaming hosts to get a share of the Chinese market has certain branding advantages. “Live-streaming hosts have far better promotion skills than main-stream celebrities,” says Xintong Liu, a young female professional working in Shanghai who watches Li’s live-streams regularly to purchase beauty products and clothing. KOLs also have more time to interact with their viewers than main-stream celebrities, with their live-streaming practice usually taking around six or seven hours daily, which creates a sense of intimacy between KOL and viewers. And consumers are more likely to purchase a product once some trust is built.
Though it seems to be extremely profitable working with these Internet celebrities, brands need to keep a few things in mind. First of all, you want to choose a KOL whose image and personality fit your brand. “Choosing a KOL indirectly states that the brand recognizes his or her style,” says Shuman Li, a Dior employee, who also said that Dior would tend to work with well-known KOLs with serious reputations rather than more humorous ones. Additionally, in working with KOLs, brands also need to identify if a KOL is as popular as he claims. As is often the case, many of the KOLs’ viewers and consumers are “shui jun” (paid viewers).
Finding a trustworthy KOL that fits your brand is the first step to success, but it’s not easy to find one as there are limited top KOLs available and they also necd to be familiar with your products.
8. How is the topic of text introduced?
A. By giving an example.
B. By analyzing the causes.
C. By describing the process.
D. By making a comparison.
9. What does the underlined word “intimacy” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Direction. B. Humor.
C. Responsibility. D. Closeness.
10. What kind of Internet celebrities will brands tend to cooperate with?
A. The ones who own numerous paid viewers.
B. The ones who match the brand well.
C. The ones who have a great sense of humor.
D. The ones who show interest in luxuries.
11. What’s the author’s attitude towards live-streaming hosts?
A. Favorable. B. Intolerant.
C. Indifferent. D. Objective.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章以李佳琦为例介绍了关键意见领袖（KOL）以及品牌与关键意见领袖合作的优缺点。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。第一段提到“Li’s success is a good example of how luxury brands are increasingly turning to cooperation with popular Internet celebrities. However, a recent video of Li advertising for a non-stick pan, which is now being called the “rollover incident”, is making consumers question his credibility.”（李佳琦的成功是奢侈品牌越来越多地转向与网红合作的一个很好的例子。然而，最近一段李佳琦为不粘锅做广告的视频，现在被称为“翻车事件”，让消费者质疑他的可信度。）由此判断，第一段是通过李佳琦直播“翻车”的例子引出本文话题——与关键意见领袖合作并非没有缺点，品牌也应选择适合的关键意见领袖。故选A。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。第二段提到“KOLs also have more time to interact with their viewers than main-stream celebrities, with their live-streaming practice usually taking around six or seven hours daily”（KOL也比主流明星有更多的时间与观众互动，他们的直播实践通常每天花费大约六到七个小时）以及后文中“And consumers are more likely to purchase a product once some trust is built.”（一旦建立了一定的信任，消费者就更有可能购买产品。）相比较而言，主播相比于明星而言有更长的直播时间，长时间的陪伴更容易让主播和消费者建立起信任，能让消费者相信和亲近主播，从而促成消费。因此划线词义为“亲近”。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。第三段提到“First of all, you want to choose a KOL whose image and personality fit your brand.”（首先，你要选择一个形象和个性适合你品牌的KOL。）由此判断，和品牌形象和个性适配的KOL是品牌的首选。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。最后一段提到“Finding a trustworthy KOL that fits your brand is the first step to success, but it’s not easy to find one as there are limited top KOLs available and they also need to be familiar with your products.”（找到一个适合你品牌的值得信赖的KOL是成功的第一步，但要找到一个KOL并不容易，因为可用的顶级KOL有限，他们也需要熟悉你的产品。）由此判断，作者认为要找到一个符合品牌也是需要相互成就的，品牌需要KOL符合自己的产品定位，KOL也需要了解熟悉产品。因此作者对于主播持客观的态度。故选D。
D
You drink diet soda enjoying the sweet taste without the guilt of calories. But scientists have long suspected a link between artificial sweeteners(甜味剂)and obesity in humans. A new study suggests that artificial sweeteners may not be as harmless as once thought. They may not only disturb the microbes(微生物)living in the bodies of humans, but some may even increase the risk of weight gain.
Every human hosts a unique group of microbes. The number of cells that make up this vast community, called microbiome(微生物群), is extremely large in the human body. It not only helps digestion but also protects against diseases. The disturbance to the microbiome occurs because artificial sweeteners, although zero calories for humans, serve as nutrients for some microbes, which then increase rapidly. This causes an imbalance in microbial populations that can lead to diseases.
In the study, scientists first chose 1,375 volunteers to see if they consumed artificial sweeteners in their daily lives. Then, they identified 120 volunteers who were not previously exposed to artificial sweeteners and gave them one of the four commonly used sweeteners—saccharin, sucralose, aspartame, and stevia for two weeks. After that, to test how artificial sweeteners affect the body’s ability to control the sudden increase of blood sugar after consuming sugar as part of meals, volunteers were monitored for blood glucose(血糖)levels after a test glucose drink.
The study showed that sucralose and saccharin pushed the body towards glucose intolerance, which, if sustained, can cause weight gain. However, aspartame and stevia did not affect glucose tolerance at the tested levels. “The study is the first to show that the human microbiome responds to artificial sweeteners. It’s also a convincing study to show how these sweeteners really are affecting the human body,” says Michael Goran, a professor at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles.
“This study provides evidence of both short-term harmful effects and long-term negative effects caused by artificial sweeteners,” David Katz, a nutrition specialist, says. “That does not mean artificial sweeteners should be replaced with sugar. Rather, alternative approaches to reducing sugar intake should be considered.”
12. What does the new study reveal?
A. Diet soda contains more calories than sugary drinks.
B. Exercise can help people reduce the risk of diseases.
C. Artificial sweeteners have negative effects on humans.
D. Obesity is the most common health problem among adults.
13. How do Sweeteners disturb the microbiome?
A. It probably destroys the function of digestion.
B. It usually causes a rapid loss of healthy cells.
C. It sometimes feeds harmful bacteria in the body.
D. It often leads to a sharp growth of certain microbes.
14. Which aspect of the experiment is talked about in Paragraph 3?
A. Its results. B. Its process.
C. Its background. D. Its subjects.
15. What does David Katz advise people to do?
A. Introduce a tax on sugary drinks.
B. Ban the use of artificial sweeteners.
C. Raise the prices of sugar-free drinks.
D. Find other ways to limit sugar intake.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人工甜味剂并非像人们曾经以为的那样无害。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“A new study suggests that artificial sweeteners may not be as harmless as once thought.(一项新的研究表明，人造甜味剂可能不像以前认为的那样无害)”可知，之前人们认为喝无糖饮料无害健康，而这项新的研究表明，其中的人造甜味剂是有害健康的。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段中“The disturbance to the microbiome occurs because artificial sweeteners, although zero calories for humans, serve as nutrients for some microbes, which then increase rapidly.( 对微生物群的干扰之所以发生，是因为人造甜味剂虽然对人类来说是零卡路里的，但却为一些微生物提供了营养，然后这些微生物就会迅速增加。这会导致微生物种群的不平衡，从而导致疾病)”可知，甜味剂为某种微生物提供营养，使它数量猛增，影响菌群失衡。故选D项。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。由第三段中“In the study, scientists first chose…Then, they identified...and gave them…After that, to test…(在这项研究中，科学家们首先选择了1375名志愿者，看他们是否在日常生活中食用人工甜味剂。然后，他们确定了120名以前没有接触过人工甜味剂的志愿者，给他们四种常用的甜味剂——糖精、三氯蔗糖、阿斯巴甜和甜菊糖——中的一种，持续两周。之后，为了测试人工甜味剂是如何影响人体控制血糖突然升高的能力的，研究人员在志愿者喝了葡萄糖饮料后监测他们的血糖水平)”可知本段主要说了实验的过程。故选B项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。由最后一段中“That does not mean artificial sweeteners should be replaced with sugar. Rather, alternative approaches to reducing sugar intake should be considered.( 这并不意味着人工甜味剂应该用糖代替。相反，应该考虑其他减少糖摄入量的方法)”可知，David建议人们不要再喝有人工甜味剂的饮料，也不建议喝含糖饮料，而是应该思考别的减少糖分摄入的方法。故选D项。

Vegan Agriculture
Vegan farming (全素农业) has become more and more popular. It is one of the most environmentally-friendly forms of agriculture. Vegan farming is a good way to grow plants such as vegetables without using animal-derived materials such as their waste. ____16____ Such an approach to farming also helps preserve the environment and regain soil richness and improve its biodiversity.
____17____Organic farming uses natural products to grow plants — that can include even animal waste as fertilizers. On the other hand, vegan agriculture rejects animal-derived products and usually sticks with plant-based organic compounds, which means that, in general, vegan agriculture has stricter rules than organic farming.
Additionally, vegan farming usually chooses more natural ways to protect the plants, like breaking cycles of plants’ diseases with mixed cropping (混作), using mechanical barriers such as nets, or even attracting opposing organisms to fight the harmful ones. ____18____ However, they might be less effective against certain plant diseases or pests.
One of the reasons to invest in vegan agriculture is that the vegan way of farming replaces synthetic (合成的) pesticides and uses organic pesticides or other non-chemical methods to protect the crops. By contrast, in conventional agriculture, synthetic pesticides are on a very high level. ____19____
In the future, it is of great significance not to rely on animals’ waste for feeding plants. Doing so is not only beneficial to vegans. ____20____ Even if today’s methods of vegan agriculture might not be perfect, scientists worldwide, together with vegan farmers, are working towards developing plant-based solutions as alternatives to animal-derived fertilizers.
A. Accordingly, the amount of it in food products is much higher.
B. It is apparent that vegan agriculture is not the same as an organic one.
C. In today’s world, the vegan diet and lifestyle are increasingly popular.
D. But it’s also good for the whole world, including other animals and plants.
E. Those ways affect the environment less than the ways of traditional farming.
F. The rise of veganism creates new demand for more vegan-friendly agriculture.
G. Also, vegan farmers are far from applying synthetic fertilizers.
【答案】16. G 17. B 18. E 19. A 20. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了全素农业的优势。
【16题详解】
由设空处前一句“Vegan farming is a good way to grow plants such as vegetables without using animal-derived materials such as their waste.(全素农业是种植蔬菜等植物的一种方法。)”和后一句“Such an approach to farming also helps preserve the environment and regain soil richness and improve its biodiversity.(这种耕作方式不仅有助于保护环境、恢复土壤肥力，还有助于增加生物多样性。)”可知，设空处仍在说全素农业的好处。G项“Also, vegan farmers are far from applying synthetic fertilizers. (全素种植者也绝不会使用合成肥料。)”符合题意。故选G。
【17题详解】
本段最后一句“On the other hand, vegan agriculture rejects animal-derived products and usually sticks with plant-based organic compounds, which means that, in general, vegan agriculture has stricter rules than organic farming. (另一方面，纯素农业拒绝动物来源的产品，通常坚持使用植物性有机化合物，这意味着，总的来说，纯素农业比有机农业有更严格的规定。)”可知，本段在说全素农业与有机农业是不一样的。结合选项，B项“It is apparent that vegan agriculture is not the same as an organic one. (很明显，纯素农业和有机农业是不一样的。)”符合题意。故选B。
【18题详解】
前文“Additionally, vegan farming usually chooses more natural ways to protect the plants, like breaking cycles of plants’ diseases with mixed cropping(混作), using mechanical barriers such as nets, or even attracting opposing organisms to fight the harmful ones. (此外，纯素农业通常选择更自然的方式来保护植物，比如通过混合种植打破植物疾病的循环，使用网状等机械屏障，甚至吸引对立的生物来对抗有害的生物。)”介绍全素农业通常选择更自然的方式来保护植物。后文“However, they might be less effective against certain plant diseases or pests. (然而，它们对某些植物疾病或害虫可能不太有效。)”介绍这种方法的弊端，且为转折关系。可推知空处应是这种方法的优势。结合选项，E项“Those ways affect the environment less than the ways of traditional farming. (这些方式对环境的影响比传统农业方式要小。)”符合语境。故选E。
【19题详解】
前文“By contrast, in conventional agriculture, synthetic pesticides are on a very high level. (相比之下，在传统农业中，合成农药的用量非常高。)”介绍传统农业的情况。结合选项，A项“Accordingly, the amount of it in food products is much higher. (因此，它在食品中的含量要高得多。)”与前一句构成顺承关系。故选A。
【20题详解】
前文“Doing so is not only beneficial to vegans. (这样做不仅对纯素食者有益。)”介绍好处。结合选项，D项“But it’s also good for the whole world, including other animals and plants. (但对整个世界也有好处，包括其他动物和植物。)”介绍对于其他一些对象也是有益的。且“not only...but also”前后呼应。故选D。

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Thanks for listening!
【答案】参考范文1：
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Today, I will make a speech on zoos. Many people think zoos are bad for animals, and have no place in the modern world.
It is my own opinion that zoos, although not perfect, do have a useful function. Firstly, zoos are places of education. Zoos can help children to explore nature. Moreover, research into animal behaviour is done in zoos, and has increased our knowledge of zoology. Above all, zoos can protect the future of many species of animals. Many species today are in danger of extinction, and thanks to zoos, they have a chance of survival. I believe zoos are important.
Thanks for listening!
参考范文2：
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Today, I will make a speech on zoos. Many people think zoos are bad for animals, and have no place in the modern world.
I totally agree with them. First of all, I hold the firm belief that zoos cannot recreate the environment in which animals live and on account of this, animals are bored and unhappy. Chances are that animals in the zoo have lost their wild nature. Secondly, animals have frequent contact with human visitors, which can be stressful. After all, animals are our best friends, so we cannot keep them in the cages.
Thanks for listening!

第二节(满分25分)
47. 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。
It was the worst day ever. The exact date was January10, 2010. And my life was changed completely when that accident happened.
Before that day I had just started my college life and loved being at that stage in my life where I could eat all the pizza I wanted, yet engage in adult conversations with my parents about the responsibility to make life better for others. I was pretty sure I could be someone in the future, a great volunteer maybe. Then on that day, all the possibilities were destroyed by a careless driver. The days I spent in hospital were dreadful, suffering severe pain and hearing the doctor telling me that I could never walk anymore.
When I was finally permitted to leave the hospital, I had myself in a small apartment and refused any visit, blaming everyone in the world and drowning myself to despair. After I missed ten calls from my dad, he just couldn’t leave me alone. And when he entered the apartment, it was in a mess, with pizza boxes on the floor and dirty dishes in the sink. In the corner, there was a garbage can around which were pieces of garbage and waste paper. He turned around and finally had his eyes on me. A few steps towards me and he stroke his fingers through my hair, gently asking, “You want to see something?” I felt a little guilty for making my dad so worried, so I faked a smile and nodded my head.
He opened my fridge, searched for a while and took out some ice and some tea leaves after boiling some water in a pot. Mysteriously, he put the ice in the boiling water. After a while, he asked, “How is the ice now?” “What?” I was a little confused about his question, wondering what he was about to do next. When he repeated the move and asked me the same question, I began to feel bored. “How is the ice now?” “What ice? There is no ice in the water now! It melted!” I answered with my eyes fixed on the roof. Suddenly, Dad held my head, looked at me straightly and explained, “The ice was once tough and hard.” Dad continued, “But when it was put in the pot, the boiling water melted it and made it disappear as if it had never existed, just like what the difficulties may do to one’s dream.”
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。
“Want to see something different?” Dad went on to pour a spoonful of tea leaves in the boiling water, too.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I knew it was time to change.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文：
“Want to see something different?” Dad poured a spoonful of tea leaves in the boiling water, too. It didn’t take long before we saw the boiling water turned into a pot of tea. “See the tea leaves?” Dad asked, pouring a cup of tea for me. Holding the cup tightly in my hand, it struck me how the accident had changed me. The tea smelling wonderful, I was overcome with emotion, whispering, “Yes, Dad. The tea leaves, they’ve changed the water itself.” Dad watched with relief as I finally smiled to him. Not until then did I finally realize that I was the only person to determine what I could be in the future.
I knew it was time to change. I picked up my dream of volunteering again and spared no efforts to conquer every obstacle in the way. All of a sudden, all my misfortunes seemed less miserable. On the day I was finally awarded as the chief volunteer in my group, I knew I had made my life the cup of tea I wanted. Now, whenever I meet someone upset, I will always invite him to come home and prepare some tea leaves, not only for a cup of tea after talking, but also for an important lesson—try your best to become the tea leaves and turn the boiling water into your cup of tea!
