Global warming does more than just kill plant species-it also changes the way plants grow. Researchers at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) joined forces with the Leibniz Institute for Plant Biochemistry (IPB) to discover the molecular processes of plant growth. In Current Biology, a scientific journal, they presented their findings on high-temperature plant growth. This could lead to developing plants that can survive global warming.
Plants react to even small temperature changes, but they are unable to move to new locations. “When temperatures rise, plants grow taller to cool themselves off. Their stalks become taller, and their leaves become narrower and grow farther apart. Yet, this makes the plant more unstable overall,” explains Professor Marcel Quint, an agricultural scientist at MLU. Unstable plants bend faster in the rain and produce less food that’s also less nutritious.
There’s still lots to learn about plant reactions to temperatures. “We are just starting to understand how plants detect the changes in temperature,” Quint says. Earlier studies have shown that the protein PIF4 directly controls plant growth and is also dependent on temperature. When it’s cold, PIF4 is less active, meaning the plant doesn’t grow. At higher temperatures, PIF4 activates growth-promoting genes, and the plant grows taller. This is new information, says Quint.
To understand it, they investigated the growth of thale cress (Arabidopsis thaliana,) seedlings. Normally, its seedlings form short stems at 20℃. These stems become considerably longer at 28℃. They discovered a hormone that activates the PIF4 at high temperatures, thus producing the protein. The findings of the Halle group may help to breed plants that remain stable even at high temperatures and produce many crops.
4. Why did the researchers at MLU and IPB conduct their research?
A. To study the negative effects of global warming.
- 27 -
B To find out how plants help reduce global warming.
C. To observe how global warming affects plant growth.
D. To understand the ways that plants cause global warming.
5. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A. Low temperatures have little impact on plants.
B. Plants prefer dry weather to rainy weather.
C. Plants are very sensitive to changes in soil.
D. High temperatures decrease crop production.
6. What do we know about PIF4?
A. It mainly exists in the cress seedlings.
B. It works differently at different temperatures.
C. It is a kind of gene that controls plant growth.
D. It is a plant hormone that works at high temperatures.
7. Who will probably benefit most from the findings?
A. Farmers. B. Botanists.
C. Researchers. D. Environmentalists.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. A
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。全球变暖不仅杀死了植物物种,还改变了植物的生长方式。有研究发现,全球变暖会导致农作物产量减少,且营养含量降低。文章还介绍了植物能够察觉温暖变化的原因是PIF4蛋白直接控制植物的生长。以及和研究人员发现了能够使高温下也能保持稳定的植物,并能生产许多农作物。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中Researchers at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) joined forces with the Leibniz Institute for Plant Biochemistry (IPB) to discover the molecular processes of plant growth.In Current Biology, a scientific journal, they presented their findings on high-temperature plant growth. This could lead to developing plants that can survive global warming.可知,Martin
- 27 -
Luther大学的研究人员与Leibniz植物生物化学研究所(IPB)合作,发现了植物生长的分子过程。在科学期刊《当代生物学》上,他们介绍了他们关于高温植物生长的发现。这可能导致开发出能够抵御全球变暖的植物。由此判断出,为什么MLU和IPB的研究人员进行他们的研究是为了观察全球变暖如何影响植物生长。故选C。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“When temperatures rise, plants grow taller to cool themselves off. Their stalks become taller, and their leaves become narrower and grow farther apart. Yet, this makes the plant more unstable overall,” explains Professor Marcel Quint, an agricultural scientist at MLU. Unstable plants bend faster in the rain and produce less food that’s also less nutritious.可知“当温度上升时,植物会长得更高……它们的茎变得更高,叶变得更窄,离得更远。然而,这使得植物总体上更加不稳定,”MLU的农业科学家Marcel Quint教授解释说。不稳定的植物在雨中弯得更快,产生的食物也更少,营养价值也更低。由此可知,温度升高最终会导致农作物产量减少,且营养含量降低,故选D。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中Earlier studies have shown that the protein PIF4 directly controls plant growth and is also dependent on temperature.When it’s cold, PIF4 is less active, meaning the plant doesn’t grow. At higher temperatures, PIF4 activates growth-promoting genes, and the plant grows taller.可知早期的研究表明,PIF4蛋白直接控制植物的生长,也依赖于温度。当天气寒冷时,PIF4不那么活跃,这意味着植物不能生长。在较高的温度下,PIF4激活生长促进基因,植物长高。由此可知,PIF4在不同的温度下工作不同。故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中The findings of the Halle group may help to breed plants that remain stable even at high temperatures and produce many crops.可知,Halle团队的研究发现可能有助于培育即使在高温下也能保持稳定的植物,并能生产许多农作物。由此可推知,农民最受益。故选A。
C
Joshua Plotnik and his colleagues carried out the tests on six 12-45-year-old Asian elephants living in the grounds of a hotel in northern Thailand. The buckets containing the seeds were not clear enough to see through and had a lid with small
- 27 -
holes to let the smell out. In experiments, the elephants chose the greater quantity of seeds in each pair, regardless of the quantity of seeds presented. The accuracy of the prediction was better when the difference between each pair increased.
This is thought to be the first time that an animal is able to use its sense of smell to make a simple calculation of whether one of two quantities is more or less than another-the most basic form of math.
Many animal species have shown an ability to tell apart between more and less when presented with different amounts of food. But they have used vision to discriminate. Dogs have been unable to show they can perform the same trick in tests of their abilities to smell.
For an elephant this ability could be very important. Elephants often travel long distances to find better-quality food and water, which can differ according to seasonal availability, changes to their environment, and a risk they could be attacked by humans. The best performers were able to get it right more than 80 per cent of the time.
The scientists suggest that male elephants are better at the task because they need to eat more food, making it more important that their sense of smell is keener. Males also have to sniff out females in heat over long distances in order to reproduce.
They say that while elephants do use vision, particularly in close contexts where they react to each other’s body language, they use it mainly to match their more powerful senses-hearing, smell and touch.
That elephants have a powerful sense of smell is perhaps unsurprising. They have more genes related to smell than any other animal: 2,000 compared to around 800 for a dog.
8. What special ability do elephants have?
A. Use their trunks to find different smells.
B. Distinguish between more and less food.
C. Smell the differences of food quality.
D. Per form the basic math calculation.
9. What does the underlined word “discriminate” mean?
- 27 -
A. Choose. B. Indicate.
C. Measure. D. Distinguish.
10. Why do elephants often travel long distances?
A. To find where the better food is.
B. To find where humans wait to attack them.
C. To find where the environment has changed.
D. To find where they can adapt to the climate.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Elephants can do simple math puzzles
B. Elephants can “count” with their trunks
C. Elephants can smell the quality of food
D. Elephants can use vision to communicate
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. B
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。许多动物具有用视觉来区分数量多少的能力。但研究人员发现,大象能够利用它们的嗅觉判断数量的多少。对于大象来说,这种用嗅觉判断数量的能力非常重要,因为可以帮助大象找到质量更好的食物和水。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中In experiments, the elephants chose the greater quantity of seeds in each pair, regardless of the quantity of seeds presented. The accuracy of the prediction was better when the difference between each pair increased.可知在实验中,大象在每一对中选择了数量更多的种子,而不考虑种子的数量。当两组之间的差异增大时,预测的准确性较好。由此可推知,大象的特殊能力是能够区分食物的多与少。故选B。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据上文Many animal species have shown an ability to tell apart between more and less when presented with different amounts of food.可知许多动物在面对不同数量的食物时都表现出了分辨多与少的能力。由此可知,动物是用视觉来区分食物数量多少的。上文中出现的tell apart表示“区分”,故可知discriminate表示“区分”,指大象的这种区分数量的能力。故选D。
【10题详解】
- 27 -
细节理解题。根据第四段中Elephants often travel long distances to find better-quality food and water, which can differ according to seasonal availability, changes to their environment, and a risk they could be attacked by humans.可知大象经常长途跋涉去寻找质量更好的食物和水,而这些食物和水的质量会随着季节的变化、环境的变化以及被人类攻击的风险而变化。由此可知,大象经常要长途跋涉是为了找到更好的食物。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。许多动物具有用视觉来区分数量多少的能力。但研究人员发现,大象能够利用它们的嗅觉判断数量的多少。对于大象来说,这种用嗅觉判断数量的能力非常重要,因为可以帮助大象找到质量更好的食物和水。故B选项“大象能用象鼻‘算数’”最符合文章标题。故选B。
D
Have you ever had a burger without meat? You might think that a vegetable burger will take away the real meaning of a burger as it will not have the juicy taste of meat. Despite these concerns, the company, Beyond Meat, has managed to successfully make plant-based meat.
On May 2, the company became the first vegan company to become public. Beyond Meat’s initial share price was expected to range from $19 to $21. Impressively, just hours later, Beyond Meat’s stocks rose to $73!
Instead of killing animals, Beyond Meat obtains these components from different plants and combines them to make vegan meat. It contains pea protein that gives the chewy, meaty texture along with canola oil, coconut fat and other binding agents. In addition, the company uses beet juice to simulate the bloody look of beef! The plant proteins are subjected to intense heating, cooling and pressure so that their structure becomes fibrous and copies that of animal meat.
For people who have changed their diet but miss the taste of meat, Beyond Meat satisfies their taste buds. It also has all the nutrients and elements that meat has, but does not come from an animal.
Plant-based meat is also beneficial as fewer animals are killed. As our world’s population continues to grow beyond 7 billion, so does the demand for meat. Livestock farming is not sustainable as it requires more land, consumes more energy and is one
- 27 -
of the largest producers of greenhouse gases. Beyond Meat uses 99 percent less water and 93 percent less land. It also has 90 percent fewer greenhouse gas emissions, and it uses 46 percent less energy.
However, there are some people who do not like the smell of a Beyond Meat patty. Others question that processed foods are unhealthy and it is safer to choose whole vegetables instead. Regardless, with another company, Impossible Burger, looking to go public soon, as well as companies such as Tyson Foods and Nestle looking to enter the market, plant-based meat is here to stay. These companies hope to convince many people to switch from meat to plant-based alternatives.
12. Why did Beyond Meat’s stocks rise sharply?
A. People found it convenient to buy plant-based meat.
B. People believed the bright future of the company.
C. People preferred to spend more money buying meat.
D. People are becoming vegans in life.
13. What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A. What is made up of meat.
B. Why plants can be made into meat.
C. How plant-based meat is made.
D. Whether plant-based meat is allergenic.
14. What is one of the features of plant-based meat?
A. It makes farming sustainable.
B. It contains all the nutrients people need.
C. It doesn’t have the taste of meat.
D. It is environmentally friendly.
15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Plant-based meat will become a new trend.
B. All people prefer plant-based meat.
C. Vegan companies produce unhealthy food.
D. The smell of plant-based meat is disgusting.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. A
- 27 -
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章阐述了为何素肉会流行起来,素肉的生产方式以及素肉的前途。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第2段Beyond Meat’s initial share price was expected to range from $19 to $21. Impressively, just hours later, Beyond Meat’s stocks rose to $73可知,公司的股价在第一天飞速上涨,由此判断出人们对这个公司的前景看好。故选B项。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段It contains pea protein that gives the chewy, meaty texture along with canola oil, coconut fat and other binding agents. In addition, the company uses beet juice to simulate the bloody look of beef! The plant proteins are subjected to intense heating, cooling and pressure so that their structure becomes fibrous and copies that of animal meat.可知,整段都在介绍素肉的制作方法。例如,从不同的植物中获取这些成分,并将它们结合起来制成素食肉。还例如,公司还使用甜菜汁来模拟牛肉的血腥外观等。所以第三段主要讲素肉是如何制成的。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第5段Beyond Meat uses 99 percent less water and 93 percent less land. It also has 90 percent fewer greenhouse gas emissions, and it uses 46 percent less energy.可知素肉可以少用99%的水和93%的土地;它还会减少90%的温室气体排放量。这说明素肉的一个特点是环保。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段Regardless, with another company, Impossible Burger, looking to go public soon, as well as companies such as Tyson Foods and Nestle looking to enter the market, plant-based meat is here to stay. These companies hope to convince many people to switch from meat to plant-based alternatives可知,越来越多的公司已经或计划生产素肉,这些公司希望说服许多人从肉类转向植物性替代品。由此判断出素肉将成为一种新趋势。故选A项。

How long does a year last? _____16_____ But your parents might say that a whole year can pass “in the blink of an eye”. Why does time seem to pass faster as we
- 27 -
get older?
____17____ This physical change causes the rate at which we take in and process new information to decline. Babies, for example, move their eyes much more often than adults because they’re processing images at a faster rate. They take in a lot of information and do many things in a single day. ____18____ However, as people’s brains degrade over time, fewer images are processed in the same amount of time. Therefore, older people receive less information during a day than younger people. This causes things to seem as though they’re happening more quickly.
____19____ People may measure time by the number of memorable events that can be recalled within a certain period. Have you ever noticed that when you recall your firsts (first day of school, first family vacation, first birthday party, etc.), they seem to be in slow motion? That’s because when something is a “first”, there are many exciting things to remember. Recalling these memories makes you feel like they took forever.
For many adults, life is routine. When they look back, they might feel like there are not many novel (新奇的) things to remember. ____20____
A. Children might say that a year lasts forever.
B. Therefore, time seems to be moving faster to them.
C. Different people have different feelings toward time.
D. This makes them feel like a single day lasts for a long time.
E. As we grow older, we become less interested in new things.
F. According to scientists, our brains degrade and change over time.
G. In addition, people may also “feel” time differently due to psychological reasons.
【答案】16. A 17. F 18. D 19. G 20. B
【解析】

【解析】
本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了武汉封城期间,外卖小哥张赛为一个武汉市民送餐的一次经历,在疫情最严重的时候,像他这样的外卖小哥是人们与外界联系的唯一途径,他们被誉为英雄。
【41题详解】
考查冠词。句意:外卖小哥张赛在此次新冠病毒爆发的中心——武汉的一幢公寓楼外犹豫着。building是可数名词,此处泛指“一幢公寓楼”, apartment 的发音以元音音素开头,故填an。
【42题详解】
考查时态语态。句意:为了将感染的风险降到最低,他被命令不要把食物送到顾客的家门口。He与order之间是被动关系,而且这一动作发生在hesitated之前,也就是过去的过去,所以用过去完成时的被动语态,故填had been ordered。
【43题详解】
考查名词/动名词。介词of后接名词或动名词作宾语(he与infect之间是被动关系,所以用动名词的被动式),故填infection / being infected。
【44题详解】
- 27 -
考查非限定性定语从句。句意:食物是给她母亲订的,她母亲不能下楼去取。此处为非限定性定语从句,关系词指代先行词her mother,并在从句中作主语,故填who。
【45题详解】
考查时间状语从句。句意:张赛说,当他把食物放在地上时,门开了。分析句子结构并结合句意可知此处引导时间状语从句,表示“当……的时候”,故填As / When。
【46题详解】
考查形容词作状语。句意:他吓坏了,赶紧跑开了。分析句子结构并结合句意可知此处用形容词作状语,强调主语的状态,修饰人用ed结尾的形容词,表示“感到……的”,故填Frightened。
【47题详解】
考查反身代词。句意:就这样,32岁的张先生发现自己的一根手指高高地举在空中,小心翼翼地不去碰手的其余部分,然后飞快地赶回派送站。当宾语和主语为同一人称时,宾语要用反身代词,故填himself。
【48题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意同上,此处为“with+宾语+宾补”的复合结构,finger和hold之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,表示被动,所以用过去分词作宾补,故填held。
【49题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:对许多中国人来说,在疫情最严重的时候,像张先生这样的外卖小哥是人们与外界联系的唯一途径。句子主语是drivers,谓语动词用复数形式,事情发生在过去,应该用一般过去时,也可理解为客观事实,用一般现在时,故填are / were。
【50题详解】
考查介词。句意:这些外卖小哥曾经在几乎所有中国城市的街道上随处可见,但现在他们被誉为英雄。分析句子结构可知此处需要填介词,根据句意可知此处表示“作为”,故填as。

Garbage classification, whether you are accustomed to it or not, is making a change to the way how we live. Taking our community as a example, dustbins in different colors have been putting into use and most residents are clear about the rules of classification but willing to follow it. Though it takes a little more time for individuals sort out their own garbage, it saves the government a largely amount of time and allows more things to be recycled. By this way, we are shouldering our share of responsibility as citizen.
It pay to put garbage into different categories, for our own sake and the sake of nature.
【答案】1. 删掉the way后的how或how→that
2. a→an
3. putting→put
4. but→and
5. it→them
6. sort前加to
7. largely→large
8. By→In
9. citizen→citizens
10. pay→pays
【解析】
【分析】
本文是说明文,文章介绍了垃圾分类正在改变我们的生活方式。
【详解】1.考查定语从句。 分析句子结构, we live是定语从句;先行词为the way,关系词用that或in which或省略。故删掉the way后的how或how改为that 。
2.考查冠词。example为可数名词,且发音是以元音音素开头,应用不定冠词an。故a改为an。
3.考查语态。句子主语 dustbins in different colors和put into use之间为被动关系,此处应该是现在完成时的被动语态have been done形式;put是不规则变化动词,过去分词为put。故putting改为put。
- 27 -
4.考查连词。句意:大多数居民对分类规则很清楚,并且愿意遵守它们。两个句子之间语义顺承,不是转折关系。故but改为and。
5.考查代词。此处指代的是前面的rules,故it改为them。
6.考查固定句型。 句型It takes time for sb. to do … “做……需要(某人)多长时间”,故sort前加to。
7.考查固定短语。amount是名词,应用形容词修饰;短语a large amount of “大量的”。故largely改为large。
8.考查固定短语。短语“用这个方法”in this way。故By改为In。
9.考查可数名词单复数。 citizen是可数名词;句子主语是we,因此citizen相应地用复数形式。故citizen改为citizens。
10.考查主谓一致。 句意:为了我们自己,也为了大自然的缘故,把垃圾分类是值得的。形式主语是It,谓语动词应用第三人称单数。故pay改为pays。
