While doing some grocery shopping one day, I realized I had spent close to, 30 minutes just in the produce section, meticulously (一丝不苟地) choosing the best - looking apples, bananas that were ripe but not spotted and ears of corn with perfectly neat rows of kernels (谷粒). However, I bet I'm not the only one that rejects the slightest imperfections in fruits and vegetables.
I've also seen how my pursuit of perfect produce has influenced my children, When I pack their lunches, I make sure I include fleshy tomatoes, crisp blueberries, and cucumbers without any scratches. But one day when my daughter refused to eat a pear that was turning slightly brown, I knew I had to change my way. I realized I was unconsciously teaching my children to accept society's standards of perfection and that these perceptions (感知能力) could have a disastrous impact on our environment.
In the US, up to 40 percent of food is wasted every year. Most of this waste ends up in landfills that creates dangerous greenhouse gases. Around 20 percent of food waste is produced directly at the farm, for the so - called“ugly”food may not meet certain standards set by grocery stores, though the food is still perfectly consumable.
On a recent night in San Francisco, I attended a dinner party to raise awareness about this growing problem. It was the brainchild of food waste activist Josh Treuhaft, which was an intimate gathering of 16 people dining on a table made from recycled wood. The chef, Pesha Perlsweig, prepared a six - course meal with food, which was purchased from Imperfect Produce that specifically sells “ugly”fruit and vegetables. The organic twisted carrots or knobbly sweet potatoes can be bought at this market for 30 to 50 percent of the price.
I was blown away by Perlsweig's creative, delicious dishes made from the “ugly” food. Before each dish, Perlsweig offered guests tips on how we can reduce our food waste. For example, if you cut off the end of a limp carrot and place it in water, it will become firm again.
After the evening's dinner, I became inspired to rethink the way I shopped for and consumed food, and to accept the imperfect. Though looking ugly; the food contains no less nutrition than normal food. Furthermore, it's cheap at the price. My actions inspired my daughter to think differently as well. One morning, while she was helping prepare her school lunch, I noticed her choosing a handful of cherry tomatoes with slight flaws, “They're special,” she said.

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。主要记叙了作者曾经对农产品非常挑剔，拒绝水果和蔬菜中有最微小瑕疵，这也影响到了作者的孩子。直到有一天作者发现女儿拒绝吃一个稍微变色的梨，让作者意识到自己必须改变对农产品的挑剔态度。后来作者参加了一个晚宴，被用“丑陋的”食物做出的富有创意的美味菜肴震撼了，于是晚餐后开始反思自己购买和消费食物的方式，并接受不完美的东西。
【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“While doing some grocery shopping one day, I realized I had spent close to 30 minutes just in the produce section, meticulously(细致地，一丝不苟地) choosing the best-looking apples, bananas that were ripe but not spotted and ears of corn with perfectly neat rows of kernels(谷粒). However, I bet I’m not the only one that rejects the slightest imperfections in fruits and vegetables.(有一天在杂货店购物时，我意识到我在农产品区花了将近30分钟，精心挑选了最好看的苹果、成熟但没有斑点的香蕉，以及玉米粒排列整齐的玉米。然而，我打赌我不是唯一一个拒绝水果和蔬菜中有最微小瑕疵的人)”可知，作者花大约30分钟购买农产品，是因为她对农产品非常挑剔。故选A。
【42题详解】
句意猜测题。根据第二段中“I realized I was unconsciously teaching my children to accept society’s standards of perfection and that these perceptions could have a disastrous impact on our environment.(我意识到我是在无意识地教育我的孩子们去接受社会对完美的标准，而这些观念可能会对我们的环境造成灾难性的影响)”可知，作者的女儿某天拒绝吃一个微微变成棕色的梨，让作者开始意识到自己在无意识中教育孩子去接受社会对完美的标准，而这些观点可能会对环境造成灾难性的影响，因此作者决定改变自己对农产品太挑剔的做法，变得不会对农产品太挑剔。故画线部分意思为“她不会对农产品太挑剔”。故选A。
【43题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中“Before each dish, Persweig offered guests tips on how we can reduce our food waste.(在每道菜开始之前，Persweig会给客人一些建议，告诉他们如何减少食物浪费)”可知，客人们在私人聚会上得到了一些建议。故选B。
【44题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“I realized I was unconsciously teaching my children to accept society’s standards of perfection and that these perceptions could have a disastrous impact on our environment.(我意识到我是在无意识地教育我的孩子们去接受社会对完美的标准，而这些观念可能会对我们的环境造成灾难性的影响)”以及第三段中“Around 20 percent of food waste is produced directly at the farm, for the so-called ‘ugly’ food may not meet certain standards set by grocery stores, though the food is still perfectly consumable.(大约20%的食物垃圾是直接在农场产生的，因为所谓的‘丑陋’食物可能不符合杂货店设定的某些标准，尽管这些食物仍然可以完全食用)”可知，作者开始接受“丑陋”食物的原因之一是对环境有好处；倒数第二段“After the evening’s dinner, I became inspired to rethink the way I shopped for and consumed food, and to accept the imperfect. Though looking ugly, the food contains no less nutrition than normal food. Furthermore, it’s cheap at the price. My actions inspired my daughter to think differently as well. One morning, while she was helping prepare her school lunch, I noticed her choosing a handful of cherry tomatoes with slight flaws. ‘They’re special,’ she said.(晚餐后，我开始反思自己购买和消费食物的方式，并接受不完美的东西。虽然看起来很难看，但足部所含的营养并不比正常食物少。此外，它的价格便宜。我的行为也激发了我女儿以不同的方式思考。一天早上，当她在帮着准备学校的午餐时，我注意到她挑了一把小西红柿，有些小瑕疵。‘它们很特别，’她说)”可知，作者接受不完美食物的原因有：它既便宜又像完美的食物一样营养丰富、有助于保护环境以及对孩子的成长有很好的影响，除了A选项“经过创造性的烹饪，会更美味”不是作者接受不完美食物的原因。故选A。
【45题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Around 20 percent of food waste is produced directly at the farm, for the so-called ‘ugly’ food may not meet certain standards set by grocery stores, though the food is still perfectly consumable.( 大约20%的食物垃圾是直接在农场产生的，因为所谓的‘丑陋’食物可能不符合杂货店设定的某些标准，尽管这些食物仍然可以完全食用)”以及第五段中“I was blown away by Perlsweig’s creative, delicious dishes made from the ‘ugly’ food.(我被Perlsweig用‘丑陋的’食物做出的富有创意的美味菜肴震撼了)”结合主要记叙了作者曾经对农产品非常挑剔，拒绝水果和蔬菜中有最微小瑕疵，这也影响到了作者的孩子。直到有一天作者发现女儿拒绝吃一个稍微变色的梨，让作者意识到自己必须改变对农产品的挑剔态度。后来作者参加了一个晚宴，被用“丑陋的”食物做出的富有创意的美味菜肴震撼了，于是晚餐后开始反思自己购买和消费食物的方式，并接受不完美的东西。可推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是说明她是如何爱上“丑陋的”食物的。故选D。
C
From app-connected salt shakers to voice-controlled microwaves. it seems no part of the kitchen has avoided being given a high-tech makeover (改头换面). Now, as part of a Microsoft-funded project, researchers in the US and China have developed a smart tablecloth.
The “Capacitivo” works by inserting an electrode grid (电极网格) into the fabric (纤维) that can identify the shape and composition of a given object. The fabric system recognizes objects based on shifts in the electrical charge (电荷) of its electrodes caused by changes in an object’s electrical field. The difference in charge can relate to the type of material, size of the object and shape of the contact area. “It uses the basic principle of a touch screen that detects your finger,” explained Microsoft researcher Teddy Seyed.
The tablecloth can determine what object is on the fabric. For instance, it would be able to identify if you have placed a potato on a table. It could then pass that information to a connected app, which would analyse its database to show recipes that use these ingredients.
Microsoft said the fabric, created with the help of Dartmouth College and Wuhan University, could also sense if an object, such as a set of keys, has been misplaced on a table. “Besides, our system can sense the change of what is inside a container.” Teddy added. For example, a tablecloth can detect whether the soil of a table plant is wet or dry, enabling the system to remind the user to water the plant.
“This is a very impressive development,” said Monica Craciun, a professor in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology at the University of Exeter. “Other fabrics already available need input which is carried out by the user performing an action, such as touching the fabric.”
However, the technology still needs improving. It can’t recognise metallic objects, performs poorly on objects with square edges, such as books, and has trouble identifying the difference between different types of liquid. Microsoft said it could be five to ten years before the tablecloth is available for the market.
46. Why App-connected salt shakers and voice-controlled microwaves are mentioned in Paragraph 1?
A. Lead into the topic of a smart tablecloth.
B. Encourage people to purchase high-tech products.
C. Give a simple introduction to Microsoft-funded project.
D. Stress the possibility of making over a kitchen.
47. What makes the invention of the smart tablecloth possible?
A. Composition varies from object to object.
B. Fingerprint scanning techniques develop fast.
C. Electrodes can pass information to each other.
D. Different objects cause different changes in the electrical charge.
48. What can the “Capacitivo” do?
A. Connect to other smart products in the kitchen.
B. Suggest meals based on the ingredients on it.
C. Distinguish between different types of liquid.
D. Detect nutrients in the soil of a table plant.
49. What advantage does the “Capacitivo” have over other fabrics?
A. It can recognise a wider range of objects.
B. It can identify objects more accurately.
C. It doesn’t require actions from users.
D. It won’t be damaged after washing.
50. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. The limitations of the smart tablecloth.
B. The classification of the smart tablecloth.
C. The characteristics of the smart tablecloth.
D. The trend of marketing the smart tablecloth.
【答案】46. A 47. D 48. B 49. C 50. A
【解析】
【导语】本文为说明文。文章讲述了美国和中国的研究人员开发了一种智能桌布Capacitivo，它可以通过将电极网格插入织物中来工作，可以识别给定物体的形状和成分。但该技术仍需要改进，它无法识别金属物体，并且难以识别不同类型液体之间的差异。微软表示，这款桌布可能需要五到十年的时间才能投放市场。
【46题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“From app-connected salt shakers to voice-controlled microwaves. it seems no part of the kitchen has avoided being given a high-tech makeover. Now，as part of a Microsoft-funded project, researchers in the US and China have developed a smart tablecloth. (从应用程序连接的盐瓶到语音控制的微波炉，厨房似乎没有一部分避免被高科技改头换面。现在，作为微软资助项目的一部分，美国和中国的研究人员开发了一种智能桌布)”可知，在第一自然段提及App-connected salt shakers和voice-controlled microwaves是为了引出本文的主题a smart tablecloth。故选A项。
【47题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段前两句“The ‘Capacitivo’ works by inserting an electrode grid (电极网格) into the fabric that can identify the shape and composition of a given object. The fabric system recognizes objects based on shifts in the electrical charge of its electrodes caused by changes in an object’s electrical field. (“Capacitivo”的工作原理是将电极网格插入织物，可以识别给定物体的形状和组成。织物系统根据物体电场变化引起的电极电荷的变化来识别物体)”可知，智能桌布是通过不同的物体引起电荷的不同变化来识别的。故选D项。
【48题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The tablecloth can determine what object is on the fabric. For instance, it would be able to identify if you have placed a potato on a table. It could then pass that information to a connected app, which would analyse its database to show recipes that use these ingredients. (桌布可以确定织物上的物体。例如，它将能够识别您是否将土豆放在桌子上。然后，它可以将这些信息传递给一个连接的应用程序，该应用程序将分析其数据库，显示使用这些材料的食谱)”可知，Capacitivo智能桌布可以根据上面的食材来建议食物。故选B项。
【49题详解】
推理判断题。由倒数第二段“‘This is a very impressive development,’ said Monica Craciun, a professor in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology at the University of Exeter. ‘Other fabrics already available need input which is carried out by the user performing an action,such as touching the fabric.’ (“这是一个非常令人印象深刻的发展，”埃克塞特大学纳米科学和纳米技术教授Monica Craciun说。“其他已经可用的织物需要输入，由用户执行操作执行，例如触摸织物)”可知，其他织物都需要用户操作执行，而Capacitivo有了发展，即不需要用户操作。故选C项。
【50题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“However, the technology still needs improving. It can’t recognise metallic objects, performs poorly on objects with square edges, such as books, and has trouble identifying the difference between different types of liquid. Microsoft said it could be five to ten years before the tablecloth is available for the market.(但是，该技术仍需要改进。它无法识别金属物体，在具有方形边缘的物体（如书籍）上表现不佳，并且难以识别不同类型液体之间的差异。微软表示，桌布可能需要五到十年的时间才能上市)”可知，最后一段的主要内容在说Capacitivo这种智能桌面也有自己的一些缺点。故选A项。
D
How can we possibly cope with the large amount of information about virus spread, canceled plans and uncertainty about the future? Some people are buried in the fear, anxiety and sadness, checking news sites and social media constantly. Others try to be prevented from knowing it all and ignore the outside world.
There's a third option, though. Rather than fully getting involved in the negative or ignoring it, we can do our best to experience joy alongside everything else that is sad in the world. In fact, research that and others have conducted suggests that allowing the two different emotions to coexist may actually benefit us in the long run.
Dr. Jeff Larsen and his colleagues invented an expression known as the “coactivation model of mixed emotions”, and the basic idea is that we may be able to deal with, and learn from negative emotions like sadness if we experience them concurrently with positive emotions like joy at the same time. Here, positive emotions provide a psychological buffer (缓冲),making it easier for people to deal with the things they don't want to face.
The comedian Mitch Hedberg proposed ananalogythat captures this essence quite well, noting that it would be cool if you could eat a carrot with an onion ring and they would travel down to your stomach. Then they would get there, and the carrot would say, “It's cool, he's with me.” Applied to our emotional lives, we could do a better job in digesting,processing gaining insight into the negative events in our lives if we could do so alongside the positive.
Several years ago, my partner Jon Adler and I set out to test this exact idea. Specifically, we looked at sample of adult volunteers who signed up for weekly mental , health therapy sessions. Between each week, they reported the feelings they were having and also took a few questionnaires that were meant to assess their overall health. This design allowed us to examine how different emotional experiences would impact mental health in a longitudinal fashion, over the course of 12 weeks.
It's worth noting first that everyone seemed to improve a bit as the weeks marched on:therapy helps and so does time. More to the point, though, mixed emotions at one time point were positively associated with improvements in psychological well-being at the next time point. The more of a mixture of, say, happiness and sadness someone experienced today, the better feeling they'd experience next week.
However, when we looked at mixed emotions that were experienced in a given week, they weren't associated with improved mental health in that same week.
The true benefit from mixed emotions may not happen immediately but rather, likely happen sometime in the future.
51. What does the author recommend people do with a flood of bad news?
A. Take no notice of it at all.
B. Make better plans to fight against it.
C. Take in all of the negative emotions.
D. Get involved in the negative and enjoy happiness as well.
52. Which of the following may Jeff Larsen agree with?
A. Mixed emotions remain to be proved.
B. The negative emotion is easy to deal with.
C. The positive emotion makes it easier for people to succeed.
D. Mixed emotions allow people to handle the negative better.
53. What does the underlined word “analogy” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Exhibition. B. Promotion. C. Similarity. D. Requirement.
54. Why were lots of questions asked during the research?
A. To measure the volunteers health on the whole.
B. To record what the volunteers are experiencing.
C. To treat the mental diseases of the adults.
D. To over turn the theory co activation model of mixed emotions.
55. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Ignore bad news completely to make you cutoff from outside and feel happy.
B. Make your negative emotions less severe by focusing on positive ones.
C. Negative emotions will eventually benefit people in the long run.
D. Positive and negative emotions can not coexist at the same time.
【答案】51. D 52. D 53. C 54. A 55. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。研究表明让快乐和悲伤这两种不同的情绪共存从长远来看可能对我们有益。把注意力集中在积极的事情上，消极情绪就不那么占上风了。
【51题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Rather than fully getting involved in the negative or ignoring it, we can do our best to experience joy alongside everything else that is sad in the world.”（与其完全沉浸在消极的事物中或者忽略它，我们可以尽我们最大的努力去体验快乐和世界上所有的悲伤。）可知，作者建议人们沉浸在消极情绪的同时，也能享受快乐。故选D项。
【52题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“and learn from negative emotions like sadness if we experience them concurrently with positive emotions like joy' at the same time.”（如果我们同时经历悲伤等消极情绪和快乐等积极情绪，就能从这些情绪中学习。）可知，Jeff Larsen可能会同意同时感受悲喜可以使得人们更好的认识悲观情绪，从而让人们更好的处理负面情绪。故选D项。
【53题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词所在的句子“noting that it would be cool if you could eat a carrot with an onion ring and they would travel down to your stomach. Then they would get there, and the carrot would say, “It's cool, he's with me.” Applied to our emotional lives, we could do a better job in digesting,processing gaining insight into the negative events in our lives if we could do so alongside the positive.”（他指出，如果你吃胡萝卜时也吃洋葱圈，它们会顺着你的胃蠕动，那就太酷了。然后他们到了那里，胡萝卜会说:“没关系，他和我在一起。”如果把它应用到我们的情感生活中，如果我们能在积极事件的同时做到这一点的话，我们可以更好地消化、处理、洞察生活中的消极事件。所以喜剧演员米奇·海德伯格(Mitch Hedberg)提出了一个相似的东西，很好地抓住了这一本质。由此可知，划线单词是“相似”的意思。故选C项。
【54题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Between each week, they reported the feelings they were having and also took a few questionnaires that were meant to assess their overall health.”（每个星期，他们都要报告自己的感受，也要做一些问卷调查来评估他们的整体健康状况。）可知，提出很多问题的目的是对健康做一个综合的评估。故选A项。
【55题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“the basic idea is that we may be able to deal with, and learn from negative emotions like sadness if we experience them concurrently with positive emotions like joy' at the same time. Here, positive emotions provide a psychological buffer (缓冲),making it easier for people to deal with the things they don't want to face.”（其基本思想是，如果我们同时经历悲伤等消极情绪和快乐等积极情绪，那么我们或许能够处理这些情绪，并从中学习。在这里，积极的情绪提供了一种心理缓冲，使人们更容易处理他们不想面对的事情。）和第四段“Applied to our emotional lives, we could do a better job in digesting, processing gaining insight into the negative events in our lives if we could do so alongside the positive.”（如果把它应用到我们的情感生活中，我们可以更好地消化、处理、洞察生活中的消极事件，如果我们能在积极事件的同时做到这一点的话。）可知，积极的情绪能让你更容易去处理那些你不想处理的事情，更好的帮助我们消化、处理、洞察生活中的消极事件。因此短文主要是关于通过关注积极的情绪，可以让消极情绪不那么占上风。故选B项。

第三部分：写作
第一节：阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)
阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
On a recent Saturday, I stepped into a MeDonald to use the ladies’ room. There I saw a woman of my age with a concerned look on her face helping her elderly father slowly make his way to the men’s room with his walker.She seemed like a loving,dutiful daughter dealing with the role reversal(逆转)that comes with age—those moments when it feels like you’re talking care of your parents,instead of being taken care of by your parents.
As a member of the sandwich generation,I can relate.I often feel like the peanut butter between two pieced of bread:I’m trying to hold it together for my two teenage daughters,and also meet the needs of my 89-year-old mom,Elinor.
My mother’s day-to-day care became a must after my father passed away last year.My parents cared for each other through Parkinson’s disease,heart disease and cancer.Now mom is living alone, in the same house in Virginia where my elder sister,my younger brother and I grew up. The house is full of 55 years’ memories about my mom and my dad And the thought of leaving it makes her extremely sad.
But what if something happens to her and no one is there to help? What about the hours of loneliness that can’t be alleviated with a phone call? I am lucky that my brothers and sisters and I are in regular communication and we all want to do our part.
We don’t want to decide for her, of course. And we do have options: We could ensure that the house is safe for her, or bring in someone a couple of hours a day to cook a few meals and do light house-keeping. The most important thing is to keep talking about it as family,and to keep mom involved in the discussion.
Whatever we decide, we’ll do it together.Mom sacrifices her whole life for us,and we want to help her age with dignity.
56. What does the author think of the woman of her age? (no more than 10 words)
_________________________________________________
57. Why doesn’t the author’s mother want to leave her house? (no more than 8 words)
_________________________________________________
58. What does the underlined word “alleviated” in Paragraph 4 mean? (1 word)
_________________________________________________
59. What makes the author think she is lucky ?(no more than 16 words)
_________________________________________________
60. What inspiration do you get from the passage? Please express it in your own words.(no more than 25 words)
_________________________________________________
【答案】56. The woman is loving and dutiful daughter.
57. Because there are too many good memories.
58. Relieved
59. That her bothers and sisters want to share the duty of caring their mother.
60 言之有理即可，参考答案we should be a loving and dutiful daughter/son who ensures our parents can spend the rest of their life in a nice way.
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者作为女儿照料年迈的母亲，让她有尊严地度过晚年的故事。
【56题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“There I saw a woman of my age with a concerned look on her face helping her elderly father slowly make his way to the men’s room with his walker.She seemed like a loving,dutiful daughter dealing with the role reversal(逆转)that comes with age—those moments when it feels like you’re talking care of your parents,instead of being taken care of by your parents.(在那里，我看到一个和我同龄的女人，脸上带着担忧的表情，帮助年迈的父亲带着助行器慢慢走向男厕所。她看起来像一个可爱的、尽职尽责的女儿，正在处理随着年龄的增长而来的角色转换——那些感觉你在谈论照顾你的父母，而不是被父母照顾的时刻。)”可知，作者认为和她年龄相仿的这个女人是一个有责任心和爱心的女儿。故答案为The woman is a loving and dutiful daughter.
【57题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Now mom is living alone, in the same house in Virginia where my elder sister,my younger brother and I grew up. The house is full of 55 years’ memories about my mom and my dad.(现在妈妈一个人住在弗吉尼亚州我姐姐、弟弟和我长大的那个房子里。房子里充满了55年来关于我妈妈和我爸爸的回忆。)”可知，由于房子里有很多过去的美好记忆，所以作者的母亲不愿意离开。故答案为Because there are too many good memories.
【58题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段“What about the hours of loneliness that can’t be alleviated with a phone call? I am lucky that my brothers and sisters and I are in regular communication and we all want to do our part.(那几个小时的孤独不能通过一个电话来____呢？我很幸运，我和我的兄弟姐妹经常沟通，我们都想尽自己的一份力。)”可知，这里应讲一个电话不能“缓解”孤独的时间，所以alleviated应为“缓解”。故答案为Relieved.
【59题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“I am lucky that my brothers and sisters and I are in regular communication and we all want to do our part.(我很幸运，我的兄弟姐妹和我经常沟通，我们都想尽自己的一份力。)”可知，作者认为他很幸运是因为兄弟姐妹帮助她分担照顾妈妈的责任。故答案为That her brothers and sisters want to share the duty of caring for their mother.
【60题详解】
开放性试题。通读全文可知，作者是一个有爱心、有责任心的人，照顾妈妈晚年生活的女儿，所以我们也应该做这样的子女。故答案可为we should be a loving and dutiful daughter/son who ensures our parents can spend the rest of their life in a nice way.

While doing some grocery shopping one day, I realized I had spent close to, 30 minutes just in the produce section, meticulously (一丝不苟地) choosing the best - looking apples, bananas that were ripe but not spotted and ears of corn with perfectly neat rows of kernels (谷粒). However, I bet I'm not the only one that rejects the slightest imperfections in fruits and vegetables.
I've also seen how my pursuit of perfect produce has influenced my children, When I pack their lunches, I make sure I include fleshy tomatoes, crisp blueberries, and cucumbers without any scratches. But one day when my daughter refused to eat a pear that was turning slightly brown, I knew I had to change my way. I realized I was unconsciously teaching my children to accept society's standards of perfection and that these perceptions (感知能力) could have a disastrous impact on our environment.
In the US, up to 40 percent of food is wasted every year. Most of this waste ends up in landfills that creates dangerous greenhouse gases. Around 20 percent of food waste is produced directly at the farm, for the so - called“ugly”food may not meet certain standards set by grocery stores, though the food is still perfectly consumable.
On a recent night in San Francisco, I attended a dinner party to raise awareness about this growing problem. It was the brainchild of food waste activist Josh Treuhaft, which was an intimate gathering of 16 people dining on a table made from recycled wood. The chef, Pesha Perlsweig, prepared a six - course meal with food, which was purchased from Imperfect Produce that specifically sells “ugly”fruit and vegetables. The organic twisted carrots or knobbly sweet potatoes can be bought at this market for 30 to 50 percent of the price.
I was blown away by Perlsweig's creative, delicious dishes made from the “ugly” food. Before each dish, Perlsweig offered guests tips on how we can reduce our food waste. For example, if you cut off the end of a limp carrot and place it in water, it will become firm again.
After the evening's dinner, I became inspired to rethink the way I shopped for and consumed food, and to accept the imperfect. Though looking ugly; the food contains no less nutrition than normal food. Furthermore, it's cheap at the price. My actions inspired my daughter to think differently as well. One morning, while she was helping prepare her school lunch, I noticed her choosing a handful of cherry tomatoes with slight flaws, “They're special,” she said.
I'm hoping that these small changes in our perception can make a big difference to our world.
41. Why did the author spend about 30 minutes buying produce?
A. She was very picky about produce
B. She had lots of spare time that day
C. She is addicted to grocery shopping
D. She had difficulty in making a decision
42. What does the author mean by saying “I had to change my way” in paragraph 2?
A. She would pay less attention to the details of produce
B. She would change her way of educating her children
C. She would no longer do everything for her children
D. She would choose food for her children more carefully
43. What can we learn about the private gathering?
A. Lots of food went to waste that day
B. The guests got some tips at the gathering
C. Most of the dishes were made from organic food
D. It aimed to recommend a chef cooking “ugly” food
44. Which of the following is NOT the reason why the author accepted the imperfect food?
A. It is more delicious after creatively cooked
B. It is cheap and as nutritious as perfect food
C. It can always help to protect the environment
D. It can have a good effect on children's growth
45. What is the author's purpose in writing this text?
A. To offer tips on how to reduce food waste
B. To introduce a new market for “ugly” food
C. To share her experience of educating children
D. To show how she fell in love with “ugly” food.
【答案】41. A 42. A 43. B 44. A 45. D

【分析】这是一篇记叙文。主要记叙了作者曾经对农产品非常挑剔，拒绝水果和蔬菜中有最微小瑕疵，这也影响到了作者的孩子。直到有一天作者发现女儿拒绝吃一个稍微变色的梨，让作者意识到自己必须改变对农产品的挑剔态度。后来作者参加了一个晚宴，被用“丑陋的”食物做出的富有创意的美味菜肴震撼了，于是晚餐后开始反思自己购买和消费食物的方式，并接受不完美的东西。
【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“While doing some grocery shopping one day, I realized I had spent close to 30 minutes just in the produce section, meticulously(细致地，一丝不苟地) choosing the best-looking apples, bananas that were ripe but not spotted and ears of corn with perfectly neat rows of kernels(谷粒). However, I bet I’m not the only one that rejects the slightest imperfections in fruits and vegetables.(有一天在杂货店购物时，我意识到我在农产品区花了将近30分钟，精心挑选了最好看的苹果、成熟但没有斑点的香蕉，以及玉米粒排列整齐的玉米。然而，我打赌我不是唯一一个拒绝水果和蔬菜中有最微小瑕疵的人)”可知，作者花大约30分钟购买农产品，是因为她对农产品非常挑剔。故选A。
【42题详解】
句意猜测题。根据第二段中“I realized I was unconsciously teaching my children to accept society’s standards of perfection and that these perceptions could have a disastrous impact on our environment.(我意识到我是在无意识地教育我的孩子们去接受社会对完美的标准，而这些观念可能会对我们的环境造成灾难性的影响)”可知，作者的女儿某天拒绝吃一个微微变成棕色的梨，让作者开始意识到自己在无意识中教育孩子去接受社会对完美的标准，而这些观点可能会对环境造成灾难性的影响，因此作者决定改变自己对农产品太挑剔的做法，变得不会对农产品太挑剔。故画线部分意思为“她不会对农产品太挑剔”。故选A。
【43题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中“Before each dish, Persweig offered guests tips on how we can reduce our food waste.(在每道菜开始之前，Persweig会给客人一些建议，告诉他们如何减少食物浪费)”可知，客人们在私人聚会上得到了一些建议。故选B。

细节理解题。根据第二段中“I realized I was unconsciously teaching my children to accept society’s standards of perfection and that these perceptions could have a disastrous impact on our environment.(我意识到我是在无意识地教育我的孩子们去接受社会对完美的标准，而这些观念可能会对我们的环境造成灾难性的影响)”以及第三段中“Around 20 percent of food waste is produced directly at the farm, for the so-called ‘ugly’ food may not meet certain standards set by grocery stores, though the food is still perfectly consumable.(大约20%的食物垃圾是直接在农场产生的，因为所谓的‘丑陋’食物可能不符合杂货店设定的某些标准，尽管这些食物仍然可以完全食用)”可知，作者开始接受“丑陋”食物的原因之一是对环境有好处；倒数第二段“After the evening’s dinner, I became inspired to rethink the way I shopped for and consumed food, and to accept the imperfect. Though looking ugly, the food contains no less nutrition than normal food. Furthermore, it’s cheap at the price. My actions inspired my daughter to think differently as well. One morning, while she was helping prepare her school lunch, I noticed her choosing a handful of cherry tomatoes with slight flaws. ‘They’re special,’ she said.(晚餐后，我开始反思自己购买和消费食物的方式，并接受不完美的东西。虽然看起来很难看，但足部所含的营养并不比正常食物少。此外，它的价格便宜。我的行为也激发了我女儿以不同的方式思考。一天早上，当她在帮着准备学校的午餐时，我注意到她挑了一把小西红柿，有些小瑕疵。‘它们很特别，’她说)”可知，作者接受不完美食物的原因有：它既便宜又像完美的食物一样营养丰富、有助于保护环境以及对孩子的成长有很好的影响，除了A选项“经过创造性的烹饪，会更美味”不是作者接受不完美食物的原因。故选A。
【45题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Around 20 percent of food waste is produced directly at the farm, for the so-called ‘ugly’ food may not meet certain standards set by grocery stores, though the food is still perfectly consumable.( 大约20%的食物垃圾是直接在农场产生的，因为所谓的‘丑陋’食物可能不符合杂货店设定的某些标准，尽管这些食物仍然可以完全食用)”以及第五段中“I was blown away by Perlsweig’s creative, delicious dishes made from the ‘ugly’ food.(我被Perlsweig用‘丑陋的’食物做出的富有创意的美味菜肴震撼了)”结合主要记叙了作者曾经对农产品非常挑剔，拒绝水果和蔬菜中有最微小瑕疵，这也影响到了作者的孩子。直到有一天作者发现女儿拒绝吃一个稍微变色的梨，让作者意识到自己必须改变对农产品的挑剔态度。后来作者参加了一个晚宴，被用“丑陋的”食物做出的富有创意的美味菜肴震撼了，于是晚餐后开始反思自己购买和消费食物的方式，并接受不完美的东西。可推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是说明她是如何爱上“丑陋的”食物的。故选D。

From app-connected salt shakers to voice-controlled microwaves. it seems no part of the kitchen has avoided being given a high-tech makeover (改头换面). Now, as part of a Microsoft-funded project, researchers in the US and China have developed a smart tablecloth.
The “Capacitivo” works by inserting an electrode grid (电极网格) into the fabric (纤维) that can identify the shape and composition of a given object. The fabric system recognizes objects based on shifts in the electrical charge (电荷) of its electrodes caused by changes in an object’s electrical field. The difference in charge can relate to the type of material, size of the object and shape of the contact area. “It uses the basic principle of a touch screen that detects your finger,” explained Microsoft researcher Teddy Seyed.
The tablecloth can determine what object is on the fabric. For instance, it would be able to identify if you have placed a potato on a table. It could then pass that information to a connected app, which would analyse its database to show recipes that use these ingredients.
Microsoft said the fabric, created with the help of Dartmouth College and Wuhan University, could also sense if an object, such as a set of keys, has been misplaced on a table. “Besides, our system can sense the change of what is inside a container.” Teddy added. For example, a tablecloth can detect whether the soil of a table plant is wet or dry, enabling the system to remind the user to water the plant.
“This is a very impressive development,” said Monica Craciun, a professor in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology at the University of Exeter. “Other fabrics already available need input which is carried out by the user performing an action, such as touching the fabric.”
However, the technology still needs improving. It can’t recognise metallic objects, performs poorly on objects with square edges, such as books, and has trouble identifying the difference between different types of liquid. Microsoft said it could be five to ten years before the tablecloth is available for the market.
46. Why App-connected salt shakers and voice-controlled microwaves are mentioned in Paragraph 1?
A. Lead into the topic of a smart tablecloth.
B. Encourage people to purchase high-tech products.
C. Give a simple introduction to Microsoft-funded project.
D. Stress the possibility of making over a kitchen.
47. What makes the invention of the smart tablecloth possible?
A. Composition varies from object to object.
B. Fingerprint scanning techniques develop fast.
C. Electrodes can pass information to each other.
D. Different objects cause different changes in the electrical charge.
48. What can the “Capacitivo” do?
A. Connect to other smart products in the kitchen.
B. Suggest meals based on the ingredients on it.
C. Distinguish between different types of liquid.
D. Detect nutrients in the soil of a table plant.
49. What advantage does the “Capacitivo” have over other fabrics?
A. It can recognise a wider range of objects.
B. It can identify objects more accurately.
C. It doesn’t require actions from users.
D. It won’t be damaged after washing.
50. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. The limitations of the smart tablecloth.
B. The classification of the smart tablecloth.
C. The characteristics of the smart tablecloth.
D. The trend of marketing the smart tablecloth.
【答案】46. A 47. D 48. B 49. C 50. A
【解析】
【导语】本文为说明文。文章讲述了美国和中国的研究人员开发了一种智能桌布Capacitivo，它可以通过将电极网格插入织物中来工作，可以识别给定物体的形状和成分。但该技术仍需要改进，它无法识别金属物体，并且难以识别不同类型液体之间的差异。微软表示，这款桌布可能需要五到十年的时间才能投放市场。
【46题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“From app-connected salt shakers to voice-controlled microwaves. it seems no part of the kitchen has avoided being given a high-tech makeover. Now，as part of a Microsoft-funded project, researchers in the US and China have developed a smart tablecloth. (从应用程序连接的盐瓶到语音控制的微波炉，厨房似乎没有一部分避免被高科技改头换面。现在，作为微软资助项目的一部分，美国和中国的研究人员开发了一种智能桌布)”可知，在第一自然段提及App-connected salt shakers和voice-controlled microwaves是为了引出本文的主题a smart tablecloth。故选A项。
【47题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段前两句“The ‘Capacitivo’ works by inserting an electrode grid (电极网格) into the fabric that can identify the shape and composition of a given object. The fabric system recognizes objects based on shifts in the electrical charge of its electrodes caused by changes in an object’s electrical field. (“Capacitivo”的工作原理是将电极网格插入织物，可以识别给定物体的形状和组成。织物系统根据物体电场变化引起的电极电荷的变化来识别物体)”可知，智能桌布是通过不同的物体引起电荷的不同变化来识别的。故选D项。
【48题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The tablecloth can determine what object is on the fabric. For instance, it would be able to identify if you have placed a potato on a table. It could then pass that information to a connected app, which would analyse its database to show recipes that use these ingredients. (桌布可以确定织物上的物体。例如，它将能够识别您是否将土豆放在桌子上。然后，它可以将这些信息传递给一个连接的应用程序，该应用程序将分析其数据库，显示使用这些材料的食谱)”可知，Capacitivo智能桌布可以根据上面的食材来建议食物。故选B项。
【49题详解】
推理判断题。由倒数第二段“‘This is a very impressive development,’ said Monica Craciun, a professor in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology at the University of Exeter. ‘Other fabrics already available need input which is carried out by the user performing an action,such as touching the fabric.’ (“这是一个非常令人印象深刻的发展，”埃克塞特大学纳米科学和纳米技术教授Monica Craciun说。“其他已经可用的织物需要输入，由用户执行操作执行，例如触摸织物)”可知，其他织物都需要用户操作执行，而Capacitivo有了发展，即不需要用户操作。故选C项。
【50题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“However, the technology still needs improving. It can’t recognise metallic objects, performs poorly on objects with square edges, such as books, and has trouble identifying the difference between different types of liquid. Microsoft said it could be five to ten years before the tablecloth is available for the market.(但是，该技术仍需要改进。它无法识别金属物体，在具有方形边缘的物体（如书籍）上表现不佳，并且难以识别不同类型液体之间的差异。微软表示，桌布可能需要五到十年的时间才能上市)”可知，最后一段的主要内容在说Capacitivo这种智能桌面也有自己的一些缺点。故选A项。
D
How can we possibly cope with the large amount of information about virus spread, canceled plans and uncertainty about the future? Some people are buried in the fear, anxiety and sadness, checking news sites and social media constantly. Others try to be prevented from knowing it all and ignore the outside world.
There's a third option, though. Rather than fully getting involved in the negative or ignoring it, we can do our best to experience joy alongside everything else that is sad in the world. In fact, research that and others have conducted suggests that allowing the two different emotions to coexist may actually benefit us in the long run.
Dr. Jeff Larsen and his colleagues invented an expression known as the “coactivation model of mixed emotions”, and the basic idea is that we may be able to deal with, and learn from negative emotions like sadness if we experience them concurrently with positive emotions like joy at the same time. Here, positive emotions provide a psychological buffer (缓冲),making it easier for people to deal with the things they don't want to face.
The comedian Mitch Hedberg proposed ananalogythat captures this essence quite well, noting that it would be cool if you could eat a carrot with an onion ring and they would travel down to your stomach. Then they would get there, and the carrot would say, “It's cool, he's with me.” Applied to our emotional lives, we could do a better job in digesting,processing gaining insight into the negative events in our lives if we could do so alongside the positive.
Several years ago, my partner Jon Adler and I set out to test this exact idea. Specifically, we looked at sample of adult volunteers who signed up for weekly mental , health therapy sessions. Between each week, they reported the feelings they were having and also took a few questionnaires that were meant to assess their overall health. This design allowed us to examine how different emotional experiences would impact mental health in a longitudinal fashion, over the course of 12 weeks.
It's worth noting first that everyone seemed to improve a bit as the weeks marched on:therapy helps and so does time. More to the point, though, mixed emotions at one time point were positively associated with improvements in psychological well-being at the next time point. The more of a mixture of, say, happiness and sadness someone experienced today, the better feeling they'd experience next week.
However, when we looked at mixed emotions that were experienced in a given week, they weren't associated with improved mental health in that same week.
The true benefit from mixed emotions may not happen immediately but rather, likely happen sometime in the future.
51. What does the author recommend people do with a flood of bad news?
A. Take no notice of it at all.
B. Make better plans to fight against it.
C. Take in all of the negative emotions.
D. Get involved in the negative and enjoy happiness as well.
52. Which of the following may Jeff Larsen agree with?
A. Mixed emotions remain to be proved.
B. The negative emotion is easy to deal with.
C. The positive emotion makes it easier for people to succeed.
D. Mixed emotions allow people to handle the negative better.
53. What does the underlined word “analogy” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Exhibition. B. Promotion. C. Similarity. D. Requirement.
54. Why were lots of questions asked during the research?
A. To measure the volunteers health on the whole.
B. To record what the volunteers are experiencing.
C. To treat the mental diseases of the adults.
D. To over turn the theory co activation model of mixed emotions.
55. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Ignore bad news completely to make you cutoff from outside and feel happy.
B. Make your negative emotions less severe by focusing on positive ones.
C. Negative emotions will eventually benefit people in the long run.
D. Positive and negative emotions can not coexist at the same time.
【答案】51. D 52. D 53. C 54. A 55. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。研究表明让快乐和悲伤这两种不同的情绪共存从长远来看可能对我们有益。把注意力集中在积极的事情上，消极情绪就不那么占上风了。
【51题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Rather than fully getting involved in the negative or ignoring it, we can do our best to experience joy alongside everything else that is sad in the world.”（与其完全沉浸在消极的事物中或者忽略它，我们可以尽我们最大的努力去体验快乐和世界上所有的悲伤。）可知，作者建议人们沉浸在消极情绪的同时，也能享受快乐。故选D项。
【52题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“and learn from negative emotions like sadness if we experience them concurrently with positive emotions like joy' at the same time.”（如果我们同时经历悲伤等消极情绪和快乐等积极情绪，就能从这些情绪中学习。）可知，Jeff Larsen可能会同意同时感受悲喜可以使得人们更好的认识悲观情绪，从而让人们更好的处理负面情绪。故选D项。
【53题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词所在的句子“noting that it would be cool if you could eat a carrot with an onion ring and they would travel down to your stomach. Then they would get there, and the carrot would say, “It's cool, he's with me.” Applied to our emotional lives, we could do a better job in digesting,processing gaining insight into the negative events in our lives if we could do so alongside the positive.”（他指出，如果你吃胡萝卜时也吃洋葱圈，它们会顺着你的胃蠕动，那就太酷了。然后他们到了那里，胡萝卜会说:“没关系，他和我在一起。”如果把它应用到我们的情感生活中，如果我们能在积极事件的同时做到这一点的话，我们可以更好地消化、处理、洞察生活中的消极事件。所以喜剧演员米奇·海德伯格(Mitch Hedberg)提出了一个相似的东西，很好地抓住了这一本质。由此可知，划线单词是“相似”的意思。故选C项。
【54题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Between each week, they reported the feelings they were having and also took a few questionnaires that were meant to assess their overall health.”（每个星期，他们都要报告自己的感受，也要做一些问卷调查来评估他们的整体健康状况。）可知，提出很多问题的目的是对健康做一个综合的评估。故选A项。
【55题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“the basic idea is that we may be able to deal with, and learn from negative emotions like sadness if we experience them concurrently with positive emotions like joy' at the same time. Here, positive emotions provide a psychological buffer (缓冲),making it easier for people to deal with the things they don't want to face.”（其基本思想是，如果我们同时经历悲伤等消极情绪和快乐等积极情绪，那么我们或许能够处理这些情绪，并从中学习。在这里，积极的情绪提供了一种心理缓冲，使人们更容易处理他们不想面对的事情。）和第四段“Applied to our emotional lives, we could do a better job in digesting, processing gaining insight into the negative events in our lives if we could do so alongside the positive.”（如果把它应用到我们的情感生活中，我们可以更好地消化、处理、洞察生活中的消极事件，如果我们能在积极事件的同时做到这一点的话。）可知，积极的情绪能让你更容易去处理那些你不想处理的事情，更好的帮助我们消化、处理、洞察生活中的消极事件。因此短文主要是关于通过关注积极的情绪，可以让消极情绪不那么占上风。故选B项。

第一节：阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)
阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
On a recent Saturday, I stepped into a MeDonald to use the ladies’ room. There I saw a woman of my age with a concerned look on her face helping her elderly father slowly make his way to the men’s room with his walker.She seemed like a loving,dutiful daughter dealing with the role reversal(逆转)that comes with age—those moments when it feels like you’re talking care of your parents,instead of being taken care of by your parents.
As a member of the sandwich generation,I can relate.I often feel like the peanut butter between two pieced of bread:I’m trying to hold it together for my two teenage daughters,and also meet the needs of my 89-year-old mom,Elinor.
My mother’s day-to-day care became a must after my father passed away last year.My parents cared for each other through Parkinson’s disease,heart disease and cancer.Now mom is living alone, in the same house in Virginia where my elder sister,my younger brother and I grew up. The house is full of 55 years’ memories about my mom and my dad And the thought of leaving it makes her extremely sad.
But what if something happens to her and no one is there to help? What about the hours of loneliness that can’t be alleviated with a phone call? I am lucky that my brothers and sisters and I are in regular communication and we all want to do our part.
We don’t want to decide for her, of course. And we do have options: We could ensure that the house is safe for her, or bring in someone a couple of hours a day to cook a few meals and do light house-keeping. The most important thing is to keep talking about it as family,and to keep mom involved in the discussion.
Whatever we decide, we’ll do it together.Mom sacrifices her whole life for us,and we want to help her age with dignity.
56. What does the author think of the woman of her age? (no more than 10 words)
_________________________________________________
57. Why doesn’t the author’s mother want to leave her house? (no more than 8 words)

58. What does the underlined word “alleviated” in Paragraph 4 mean? (1 word)
_________________________________________________
59. What makes the author think she is lucky ?(no more than 16 words)

60. What inspiration do you get from the passage? Please express it in your own words.(no more than 25 words)
_________________________________________________
【答案】56. The woman is loving and dutiful daughter.
57. Because there are too many good memories.
58. Relieved
59. That her bothers and sisters want to share the duty of caring their mother.
60 言之有理即可，参考答案we should be a loving and dutiful daughter/son who ensures our parents can spend the rest of their life in a nice way.

【56题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“There I saw a woman of my age with a concerned look on her face helping her elderly father slowly make his way to the men’s room with his walker.She seemed like a loving,dutiful daughter dealing with the role reversal(逆转)that comes with age—those moments when it feels like you’re talking care of your parents,instead of being taken care of by your parents.(在那里，我看到一个和我同龄的女人，脸上带着担忧的表情，帮助年迈的父亲带着助行器慢慢走向男厕所。她看起来像一个可爱的、尽职尽责的女儿，正在处理随着年龄的增长而来的角色转换——那些感觉你在谈论照顾你的父母，而不是被父母照顾的时刻。)”可知，作者认为和她年龄相仿的这个女人是一个有责任心和爱心的女儿。故答案为The woman is a loving and dutiful daughter.
【57题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Now mom is living alone, in the same house in Virginia where my elder sister,my younger brother and I grew up. The house is full of 55 years’ memories about my mom and my dad.(现在妈妈一个人住在弗吉尼亚州我姐姐、弟弟和我长大的那个房子里。房子里充满了55年来关于我妈妈和我爸爸的回忆。)”可知，由于房子里有很多过去的美好记忆，所以作者的母亲不愿意离开。故答案为Because there are too many good memories.
【58题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段“What about the hours of loneliness that can’t be alleviated with a phone call? I am lucky that my brothers and sisters and I are in regular communication and we all want to do our part.(那几个小时的孤独不能通过一个电话来____呢？我很幸运，我和我的兄弟姐妹经常沟通，我们都想尽自己的一份力。)”可知，这里应讲一个电话不能“缓解”孤独的时间，所以alleviated应为“缓解”。故答案为Relieved.
