Befre yu g deep int the puzzle, cnsider this: If yu measure the height f yur male friends, fr example, the average is abut 170 cm. Yu are 172 and yur friends are all abut the same height as yu are. Indeed, the mathematical cncept f “average” is a gd way t capture the nature f this data set.
But imagine that ne f yur friends was much taller than yu. This persn wuld dramatically skew the average, which wuld make yur friends taller than yu, n average. In this case, the “average” is a pr way t capture this data set.
Exactly this situatin ccurs n scial netwrks. On average, yur cauthrs will be cited mre ften than yu, and the peple yu fllw will pst mre frequently than yu and s n.
Nw Lerman frm University f Suthern Calednia has discvered a related paradx, which they call the majrity illusin (多数错觉). They illustrate this illusin with an example. They take 14 ndes linked up t frm a small netwrk. They then clr three f these ndes and cunt hw many f the remaining ndes link t them in a single step.
In situatin (a), the unclred ndes see mre than half f their neighbrs as clred. This is the majrity illusin—the lcal impressin that a specific feature is cmmn when the glbal truth is entirely different. While in situatin (b) the majrity illusin desn’t ccur.
S hw ppular is it in the real wrld? It’s fund ut that the majrity illusin ccurs in almst all netwrk scenaris. “The effect is largest in the plitical blgs netwrk, where 60% f ndes will have majrity active neigbburs, even when nly 20% f the ndes are truly active,” says Lerman.
It immediately explains many interesting phenmena. Fr a start, it shws hw sme cntent can spread glbally while ther similar cntent des nt—the key is t start with a small number f well-cnnected early adpters fling the rest f the netwrk int thinking it is cmmn. The affected ndes then find it natural t fllw the trend. A real spread finally cmes int being.
But it is nt yet a marketer’s charter. Fr that, marketers must first identify the ppular ndes that can create the majrity illusin fr the merger audience. These influencers must then be persuaded t adpt the desired behavir r prduct, which is essential t the prspect f the marketing plan.

D.ignring the average because f the frequency by which it is reviewed
2.What des the difference between situatin(a) and situatin(b) lie in?
A.The number f the ndes in the netwrk
B.The manner f the cnnectin between the ndes.
C.The decisin f which ndes t be clred.
D.The influence f the netwrk n the ndes.
3.Which f the fllwing statements is TRUE accrding t the passage?
A.Majrity illusin rarely bas impacts except in plitical blgs field.

(2023上·天津南开·高三统考期中)The Prgramme fr Internatinal Student Assessment (PISA) is a wrldwide study f 15-year-ld schl pupils’ schlastic (学业的) perfrmance in mathematics, science, and reading undertaken by the OECD (经济合作与发展组织). A clser lk at the reading tests, shws the interesting fact that girls are utperfrming bys in reading and that this is assciated with girls’ greater enjyment f reading.
One key area which has a majr impact n reading perfrmance, is reading fr enjyment rather than simply fr study r schl wrk purpses. Interestingly, the PISA study fund that in all cuntries assessed (apart frm Suth Krea), girls read fr enjyment mre than bys. The study fund that in all the cuntries assessed, just ver half f bys (52%), but almst three-quarters f girls (73%) said that they read fr enjyment which may cme as a surprise t many.
In cuntries such as Estnia and the Netherlands, the difference between bys and girls was mst significant, where they fund a 30% gap r mre between the genders. Additinally in places such as Austria and Liechtenstein, very lw levels f bys expressed interest in reading (40% r less), which are wrrying statistics.
Hwever, nt all cuntries had such an bvius trend. In places like Japan, bys and girls read fr enjyment at an almst identical level, with 54% f bys and 58% f girls reprting that they enjy reading. And there were a few cuntries and regins that scred very highly in bys reading enjyment, fr example in Albania, Indnesia and Shanghai in China where at least 80% f bys enjy reading. Althugh these psitive numbers are matched and passed by girls wh reprted an even higher level f reading enjyment (90% r higher).
An interesting area which the PISA study lked at was the types f literature that bth girls and bys generally enjy. There were clear differences in the chices bys and girls make when deciding n what t read. Bys were fund t enjy reading magazines, newspapers and cmic bks mre than girls. Girls were fund t be twice as likely t enjy wrks f fictin than bys.
Cuntries need t think abut ways t inspire interest fr bys in reading and ensure that they are expsed t a wide variety f different types f literature frm a yung age. Given that in OECD cuntries tw in three bys nly read newspapers fr pleasure prves that there is wrk t be dne.

(2023上·天津南开·高三统考期中)Twenty years ag, the idea f sharing ur lives s penly with the wrld was unheard f. Hwever, fr yung peple tday it is cnsidered cmpletely nrmal t share pictures f their lives and interact nline every day. Fans f scial media pint ut that the wrld has never been s cnnected as it has allwed peple t make friends, learn abut the wrld and celebrate life.
Hwever, many peple have cncerns abut the effects f this new way f living particularly arund the amunt and type f infrmatin that is shared s penly. Nw researchers have fund that t much time n scial media may indeed have sme negative effects. They measured peple’s attitudes and feelings befre and after brwsing(浏览) scial media sites. They fund that the mre time peple spent n scial media, the mre unhappy they became.
There are a number f reasns fr this. When brwsing scial media, peple ften see phtgraphs and stries shwing beautiful hlidays, fun parties and fashinable clthes. Peple rarely pst negative stries r bad pictures, s it can be misleading. Fr thse lking at these pictures and cmparing them t their wn lives, they can end up feeling sad and depressed. They might think their lives are wrse in cmparisn. Even fr thse peple wh pst psitive stries and pictures, they t can feel stressed and wrried. The number f “likes” and cmments n their psts can make them anxius abut their ppularity. Of curse, there is als the prblem f “cyber bullying(网络欺凌)” where peple becme victims f bullying nline when thers make negative r cruel cmments abut them.
The reality is that scial media is a part f mdern life and it is nt ging t g away. This research shws us that it is imprtant t find a balance between ur nline and ffline lives. We dn’t have t discnnect frm the Internet t live a happy life, but we shuld realise that the pictures we see and stries we read are nly part f a bigger picture. If we can d that, we can prtect urselves and enjy ur lives.

(2023上·天津北辰·高三天津市第四十七中学校考期中)Many peple lve the Hallween seasn, particularly yung nes. It’s nt hard t understand. The Hallween seasn is a time fr fun-sized candy, giving rcks t trick r treaters, apple cider dnuts, and frights. The very last-frights, are generally all in gd fun. But can they be dangerus? Can smene be scared t death?
The key factr in an imagined scare-caused death is a little chemical that anyne wh’s played a particularly intense game f hide-and-seek is very familiar with: adrenaline (肾上腺素). Fear puts the bdy in a state f severe emtinal anxiety, which in turn causes the autnmic fight-r-flight respnse.
The fight-r-flight respnse is an evlutinary defence mechanism (机制) which acts in yur best interest when there is a nticed threat. Yu sweat a lt, yur anxiety is exacerbated, yur bld glucse (葡萄糖) levels are increased, and yur heart rate is higher. Like a crnered animal, yu’re a bit less reasnable, a bit stranger, but a bit mre ready t survive.
Nw, back t the adrenaline. Adrenaline causes all f these prcesses, but there’s just ne rgan, which, if verladed, can lead t sudden death. The human bdy desn’t immediately cme t an end as sn as a kidney (肾) fails, but when a heart stps wrking, the whle business fails. This is what happens t yur bdy during an adrenaline rush.
Adrenaline causes calcium (钙) t enter the heart at a higher rate, and when there’s mre calcium rushing thrugh the heart, it has harder time resetting t its nrmal resting rate. This can cause a dangerus cnditin, which prevents bld frm pumping t the rest f the bdy. Withut immediate treatment, this can lead t sudden death.
Of curse, such cause f death isn’t unique t being scared. Any event that increases ne’s adrenal level culd lead t this dangerus cnditin. S if yu are planning n scaring thers the next Hallween seasn, be sure t d it in a cntrlled setting, especially if yu have a histry f heart prblems.
16.What d we learn abut the fight-r-flight respnse mentined in Paragraph 2?
A.It makes us think in a better way.
B.It prevents adrenaline frm rising.
C.It has nthing t d with little kids.
D.It is meant t help us survive better.
17.The underlined wrd “exacerbated” in Paragraph 3 means “________”.
A.acquiredB.relievedC.wrsenedD.addressed
18.What will prbably happen during the dangerus cnditin accrding t Paragraph 5?
A.Having a failed kidney.
B.Having faster bld circulatin.
C.Having t much calcium in ur bld.
D.Having irregular heartbeats.
19.We can learn frm the passage that we shuld ________.
A.enjy Hallween in a cntrlled way
B.avid lw bld glucse levels
C.exercise t prtect urselves frm heart disease
D.avid scaring thers during the Hallween screen
20.What wuld be the best title fr the passage?
A.Is it enjyable t frighten thers?
B.Is it pssible t be scared t death?
C.Why is t much adrenaline dangerus?
D.What t watch ut fr during the Hallween seasn?
(2023上·天津北辰·高三天津市第四十七中学校考期中)Ancient dcuments are an imprtant part f ancient civilizatin. Unfrtunately, such dcuments are ften vulnerable (易受……伤害的) t aging and related damage, which greatly reduce their legibility (易读性).
An internatinal grup f cmputer scientists have teamed up t strike up the cnversatin with ancient peple thrugh their writing that have been brken dwn by time. They have develped a cmputer-assisted methd t help us have a cnversatin with peple frm the distant past.
Appreciating ancient dcuments, even when in gd cnditin, can require a reader t dig int the rle f a cryptlgist (密码学家). That’s because the cmbinatin f a writer’s handwriting legibility, lettering styles, ld-fashined spelling and grammar cnventins r abbreviatins (缩写) can make even a native language seem unfamiliar. Besides, the same dcument’s legibility can be reduced even mre by faded ink, widened lettering due t expsure t wetness, and s n.
Typical digital recnstructin changes a dcument int black text n a white backgrund in an attempt t reveal the text thrugh nise filtering (过滤) and cntrast imprvement. Hwever, in this current methd, the image is much mre f a restratin effrt, keeping much f the lk and virtual feel f the dcument.
Researchers applied a cmplex integratin f several digital clr interpretatin techniques and Gaussian mixture mdels t identify and separate features f text, paper, and histrical bjects. This allws fr the specific selectin f different layers f infrmatin based n slight spectral (光谱的) differences. S a user culd decide whether a ntatin (符号), page decratin, cffee mug ring stain r anther feature was critical t the understanding by adding r remving layers.
In sme cases, the technique culd preserve features that wuld therwise be lst, such as the vague watermarks f a paper manufacturer, which culd ffer vital insights t histrians. “Fr example, Lenard da Vinci’s famus wrks were written n pages with watermarks frm varius paper suppliers that allwed dcument histrians t grup them int likely writing perids,” said Usman Habib, an expert n digital restratin.
Accrding t the paper, the prcessing can be accmplished n a standard desktp cmputer, and it takes just a few minutes. This wuld make it a great tl fr histrical dcument researchers and peple attempting t figure ut ld family recipes.
21.What des the internatinal team mainly aim t d?
A.Categrize dcuments f the past.
B.Share develpments in cmputer science.
C.Analyze causes f ancient wrks’ breakdwn.
D.Restre histrical writing digitally.
22.Which f the fllwing can best describe the task f reading ancient dcuments?
A.Risky but rewarding.B.Cmplicated and challenging.
C.Repetitive but fruitless.D.Straightfrward and accessible.
23.Hw des the researchers’ new methd perfrm better than typical nes?
A.It helps remve the truble f ding repair wrk.
B.It saves time by applying cntrasting backgrunds.
C.It preserves the riginal appearance f the dcuments.
D.It raises the quality f images thrugh nise filtering.
24.What can be achieved thrugh the researchers’ new methd?
A.Translating the text int different languages.
B.Generating alternative cpies f dcuments.
C.Identifying the dates f the related histrical bjects.
D.Getting rid f unnecessary layers f infrmatin.

Leaving their jbs in their fifties, with music cllectins becming t large fr their living rms, a few wh haven’t taken up wrk as taxi drivers r security guards began t make a living by pening such bars.
The first LP bars pened in the 1990s, pssibly inspired by the “listening bars” that riginated in mid-20th century Japan. Music enthusiasts wuld cme t these bars t listen t imprted recrds that were therwise hard t cme by. The LP bars have prliferated in recent years with mre and mre peple lving ging there, thus greatly benefiting the middle-aged wners.

(2023上·天津和平·高三耀华中学校考阶段练习)When plates are set n the table, phnes, rather than frks, are at the ready. At this pint in ur scial media entanglement (纠缠),the fact that the camera eats first is pretty much a given. Sure, sme chefs, including Michelin rated star chefs, express their displeasure at this, but effrts t make the table a screen-free dmain have mstly fallen flat.
New research frm Astn University has fund that peple are indeed influenced by the fd phts that their friends pst n scial media. Fr example, fr every serving f fruits and vegetables that a persn thinks their friends are eating, they’ll eat ne-fifth f a serving mre. This number makes mre sense within the cntext f the recmmended “five a day”, meaning smene wh’s being influenced wuld make a pint f eating six prtins f fruits r vegetables. Similarly, fr every three prtins f junk fd that a persn sees friends cnsuming n scial media, they’ll eat an extra ne.
The researchers have suggested that scial media can be very beneficial when it cmes t peple’s chices f fd and their diets. Study supervisrs Dr. Jasn Thmas said, “The implicatin is that we can use scial media as a tl t encurage each ther’s eating chice within friendship grups, and use this knwledge as a tl fr public health interventins.”
Actually, the daily fd situatin is smewhat different frm everything else psted n scial media. Peple als desire t cpy what they see but they need gd scial media literacy skills in rder t grasp what’s realistic and what’s absurd. It is necessary t avid the fake perfectin f scial media.
It gets bring trying t figure ut what t eat three times a day, week after week, s n wnder peple want t take the path f least resistance and eat what their friends are eating. Unfrtunately, mst f what gets psted is the mre time-cnsuming recipes r the attractively styled restaurant meals. By all means, keep yur antennae (触角) ut fr new ideas, but gather them frm fd magazines, ckbks, stre flyers, reliable cking websites, and recmmended recipes frm friends and family.
31.What phenmenn is talked abut in Par.1?
A.The influence f scial media n peple’s diet.
B.Peple’s taking phts f fd befre eating.
C.Chefs’ effrts t make the table screen-free.

(2023上·天津和平·高三耀华中学校考阶段练习)As peple are becming mre scially cnscius abut where their fd cmes frm and hw it impacts the planet, they are chsing animal-free plant-based ptins. Cw-free meat has been arund fr quite sme time and the ppularity f brands like Beynd Meat and cultivated meat frm Aleph Farms and thers are saring. While there are a large number f plant-based milk substitutes, nne f them have the same taste f cw’s milk. Nw, an Israeli fd-tech startup Remilk created real dairy prducts withut harming a single cw r the planet.
The cmpany stresses that their prduct Remilk is nt a milk substitute but rather is the real deal. Made frm a special prcess called micrbial fermentatin (微生物发酵), milk is manufactured in a lab instead f in a cw. And the end prduct is very healthy. “In a very simple way, we take the gene that encdes fr the milk prtein,” said Aviv Wlff, CEO f Remilk.”The gene functins as an instructin bk fr the prductin f the prtein it encdes. And s, we insert the gene int a micrbe that we’ve develped and it instructs ur micrbe t prduce the specific prtein in a very efficient way.”
The cmpany says that the lab-prduced milk tastes identical t the real thing and they hpe t eventually replace cws by creating every dairy prduct sld. They expect t rll ut plant-based cheese and ygurt in additin t milk. “Remilk was funded with the missin t stp using animals t prduce ur fd because, as dairy lvers, we realize that giving up n milk is nt an ptin,” Wlff said. “But tday’s milk cmes with an unreasnable price tag. The dairy industry is destructive t ur planet, ur health, and ur animals, and is simply nt sustainable anymre.”
The envirnmental price tag f dairy farming is way t high. Accrding t the Wrld Wildlife Fund, dairy cws add a huge amunt f greenhuse gasses t the atmsphere and cntribute t glbal warming and climate change as well as ful the air arund them. Dairy peratins cnsume large amunts f water and run-ff f manure (粪肥) and fertilizers frm these farms get int lcal waterways. The prductin f Remilk uses nly 5 percent f the resurces and prduces nly 1 percent f the waste f prducing cw’s milk accrding t the cmpany. And they accmplish this by being 100 percent cruelty-free unlike dairy farms.

(2023上·天津静海·高三静海一中校考阶段练习)In US emergency rms (ER), the average wait time t see a dctr is mre than tw hurs. There are mre patients in need than there are dctrs, nurses and ther staff t help them. Many parents have suffered thrugh hurs in the ER with a sick, upset child, nly t get sent hme because their case is nt cnsidered urgent. What if there was anther chice—like a huse call frm an intelligent machine?
Nw, a new study shws that AI systems can assess a child’s medical chart and cme up with a diagnsis, a determinatin f what is wrng with that patient.
The study tk place at Guangzhu Wmen and Children’s Medical Center in suthern China. First, a team f dctrs reviewed 6, 183 medical charts. They summarized the infrmatin in these charts int a list f keywrds linked t disease-related symptms r signs, such as “fever”. Researchers then taught these keywrds t the AI system. Once trained, the system scanned children’s charts fr the key terms, checking if they were present r nt in rder t cme t a cnclusin. Finally, it ffered diagnses based n the charts, narrwing dwn frm amng 55 illness categries.

1.词句猜测题。根据第二段“If yu measure the height f yur male friends, fr example, the average is abut 170 centimeters. Yu are 172 and yur friends are all abut the same height as yu are.(例如,如果你测量你的男性朋友的身高,他的平均身高约为170厘米。你172厘米,你的朋友都和你差不多高)”以及第三段划线词上文“But imagine that ne f yur friends was much taller than yu(但是想象一下你的一个朋友比你高很多。)和后文“which wuld make yur friends taller than yu, n average(这会让你的朋友们平均比你高。)”可知,如果你的一个朋友比你高得多,那么这种情况下得出的平均值是不真实的,这会让你的朋友平均比你高。故文章中的“skew the average”可能是指“扭曲平均值”。故选B。
2.推理判断题。结合图片以及第六段讲到“In situatin (a), the unclred ndes see mre than half f their neighbrs as clred. This is the majrity illusin—the lcal impressin that a specific feature is cmmn when the glbal truth is entirely different. While in situatin(b) the majrity illusin desn’t ccur. (在情况(a)中,未着色的节点看到超过一半的相邻点是着色的。这就是多数错觉——当整体真相完全不同时,局部印象认为某个特定特征是共同的。而在情况(b)中,多数错觉并没有发生)”可知,在情况(a)中,未着色的节点看到超过一半的相邻点是着色的,而在情况(b)中,多数错觉并没有发生是因为着色的节点位置不同。所以情况(a)和情况(b)的区别在在于决定对哪些节点进行着色。故选C。
3.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Fr a start, it shws hw sme cntent can spread glbally while ther similar cntent des nt—the key is t start with a small number f well-cnnected early adpters fling the rest f the netwrk int thinking it is cmmn.

They might think their lives are wrse in cmparisn. (在浏览社交媒体时,人们经常会看到展示美丽假期、有趣派对和时尚服装的照片和故事。人们很少发布负面报道或不良图片,因此可能会产生误导。对于那些看着这些照片并将其与自己的生活进行比较的人来说,他们最终可能会感到悲伤和沮丧。相比之下,他们可能认为自己的生活更糟糕。)”可知,当人们在比较别人帖子中的美好生活时会感到沮丧。故选A项。

(然而,在当前的方法中,图像更多的是恢复工作,保留了文档的大部分外观和虚拟感觉。)”可知,一个由计算机科学家组成的国际小组目的是通过计算机辅助方法——图片恢复方式,恢复被时间磨损的古代文献。故选D。
22.推理判断题。根据第三段“Appreciating ancient dcuments, even when in gd cnditin, can require a reader t dig int the rle f a cryptlgist (密码学家). That’s because the cmbinatin f a writer’s handwriting legibility, lettering styles, ld-fashined spelling and grammar cnventins r abbreviatins (缩写) can make even a native language seem unfamiliar. Besides, the same dcument’s legibility can be reduced even mre by faded ink, widened lettering due t expsure t wetness, and s n.(欣赏古代文献,即使是保存完好的文献,也可能需要读者深入挖掘密码学家的作家。这是因为作家的字迹易读性、字母风格、老式拼写和语法惯例或缩写等因素的结合,甚至可以让母语看起来陌生。此外,同样的文件的易读性会因墨水褪色、浸湿导致字体变宽等原因而进一步降低。)”可知,即使保存完好的文献,在阅读过程中也需要密码学家的协助才能完成阅读,同时由于作家的字迹易读性、字母风格、老式拼写和语法惯例或缩写等因素会让古代文献看起来很陌生;文件会因为墨水褪色、浸湿等导致字体变宽等原因而使古代文献的易读性进一步降低,由此可以推断阅读古代文献是非常复杂和具有挑战性的。故选B。
23.细节理解题。根据第四段中“Typical digital recnstructin changes a dcument int black text n a white backgrund in an attempt t reveal the text thrugh nise filtering (过滤) and cntrast imprvement. Hwever, in this current methd, the image is much mre f a restratin effrt, keeping much f the lk and virtual feel f the dcument. (典型的数字重建将文档处理成黑色文字在白色背景上,试图通过噪点过滤和对比度增强来揭示其中的文字。然而,在这种当前的方法中,图像更多地是通过恢复工作而得到的,保留了文档的外貌和虚拟感。)”可知,以往的方法是通过将文档处理成黑色文字在白色背景上,当前的新方法是通过恢复工作而得到的,保留了文档的外貌和虚拟感。C选项“It preserves the riginal appearance f the dcuments.(它保留了文件的原始外观。)”与原文信息相符。故选C。
24.细节理解题。根据第六段中“S a user culd decide whether a ntatin (符号), page decratin, cffee mug ring stain r anther feature was critical t the understanding by adding r remving layers.(因此,用户可以通过添加或删除图层来决定符号、页面装饰、咖啡杯环污渍或其他功能是否对理解至关重要。)”可知,通过新的方法,研究者可以通过添加或删除图层来决定符号、页面装饰、咖啡杯环污渍或其他功能是否对理解至关重要,即可以去掉对理解文献不必要的信息层。故选D。
25.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中““Fr example, Lenard da Vinci’s famus wrks were written n pages with watermarks frm varius paper suppliers that allwed dcument histrians t grup them int likely writing perids,” said Usman Habib, an expert n digital restratin.(数字修复专家乌斯曼·哈比卜(Usman Habib)说:“例如,列奥纳多·达·芬奇(Lenard da Vinci)的著名作品是写在带有不同纸张供应商水印的页面上的,这使得文献历史学家可以将它们归类为可能的写作时期。”)”可知,通过数字修复专家Usman Habib所说的话可知,通过该技术能够有助于文献历史学家们归类文献作品,故推断Usman Habib对该技术是支持的。故选C。

28.词句猜测题。根据上文“The first LP bars pened in the 1990s, pssibly inspired by the “listening bars” that riginated in mid-20th century Japan. Music enthusiasts wuld cme t these bars t listen t imprted recrds that were therwise hard t cme by.(第一家LP酒吧在20世纪90年代开业,可能是受到了起源于20世纪中期日本的“聆听酒吧”的启发。音乐爱好者会来这些酒吧听进口唱片,否则那些唱片很难买到)”可知,近年来,越来越多的人喜欢去LP酒吧,LP酒吧的数量会激增,prliferated意为“激增”,和sprung up(涌现,迅速增长)意思接近。故选A。
29.推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Custmers can request their favurite sngs there.

Similarly, fr every three prtins f junk fd that a persn sees friends cnsuming n scial media, they’ll eat an extra ne. (阿斯顿大学的新研究发现,人们确实会受到朋友在社交媒体上发布的食物照片的影响。例如,一个人认为他的朋友正在吃的每一份水果和蔬菜,他们就会多吃五分之一份。在建议的“每天五份”的背景下,这个数字更有意义,这意味着受影响的人会特别注意吃六份水果或蔬菜。同样,当一个人看到朋友在社交媒体上吃垃圾食品时,他们每吃三份,就会多吃一份。)”可知,人们看到朋友的在线帖子的后果是他们会比他们的朋友消费得更多。故选C项。

37.主旨大意题。根据第二段中“Made frm a special prcess called micrbial fermentatin(微生物发酵), milk is manufactured in a lab instead f in a cw. And the end prduct is very healthy. “In a very simple way, we take the gene that encdes fr the milk prtein,” said Aviv Wlff, CEO f Remilk.”The gene functins as an instructin bk fr the prductin f the prtein it encdes. And s, we insert the gene int a micrbe that we’ve develped and it instructs ur micrbe t prduce the specific prtein in a very efficient way.”(牛奶是由一种叫做微生物发酵的特殊过程制成的,牛奶是在实验室而不是在奶牛体内生产的。最终产品是非常健康的。Remilk 公司首席执行官阿维夫·沃尔夫(Aviv Wlff)说: “用一种非常简单的方法,我们取出牛奶蛋白质的编码基因。”这种基因的作用就像一本指导手册,指导它编码的蛋白质的生产。因此,我们把这个基因插入到我们已经培育出来的微生物中,它指导我们的微生物以一种非常有效的方式产生特定的蛋白质。”)”可知,第二段主要介绍了Remilk的生产过程,故选A。
38.细节理解题。根据第三段中Wlff 所说的话“Remilk was funded with the missin t stp using animals t prduce ur fd because, as dairy lvers, we realize that giving up n milk is nt an ptin.(Remilk成立的初衷是停止使用动物生产我们的食物,因为作为乳制品爱好者,我们意识到放弃牛奶不是一种选择。)”可知,Remilk旨在生产非动物性食品。故选C。
39.词句猜测题。根据最后一段划线单词所在句子“Accrding t the Wrld Wildlife Fund, dairy cws add a huge amunt f greenhuse gasses t the atmsphere and cntribute t glbal warming and climate change as well as ful the air arund them.(据世界野生动物基金会称,奶牛向大气层中排放了大量的温室气体,造成了全球变暖和气候变化,并ful它们周围的空气。)”可知,奶牛向大气层中排放了大量的温室气体,这会污染周围的空气,由此可推知,划线单词ful意为“污染”,与C项“Pllute(污染)”同义,故选C。
40.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“The dairy industry is destructive t ur planet, ur health, and ur animals, and is simply nt sustainable anymre(乳制品行业对我们的地球、我们的健康和我们的动物都是破坏性的,而且不再是可持续的了)”和最后一段中“Accrding t the Wrld Wildlife Fund, dairy cws add a huge amunt f greenhuse gasses t the atmsphere and cntribute t glbal warming and climate change as well as ful the air arund them.
