Studies have shown that vegetarians usually have lower levels of heart disease and a lower risk of diabetes than people who eat meat. What most people are less aware of, however, are the effects that a vegetarian diet can have on the environment.Researchers from the Union of Concerned Scientists in the US recently studied how consumer behavior affects the environment. The study showed that meat consumption is one of the main ways that humans can damage the environment, second only to the use of motor vehicle.Then, how can eating meat have a negative effect on the environment? For a start, all farm animals such as cows, pigs, and sheep give off methane (沼气) gas by expelling (排出) wind from their bodies. One cow can produce up to 60 liters of methane each day. Methane gas is the second most common greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide. Many environmental experts now believe that it is more responsible for global warming than carbon dioxide. It is estimated that 25% of all methane released into the atmosphere comes from farm animals.Another way that meat production affects the environment is through the use of water and land. 2,500 gallons of water are needed to produce one pound of beef, whereas 20 gallons of water are needed to produce one pound of wheat. One acre of farmland used for crop production can produce 40,000 pounds of potatoes, 30,000 pounds of carrots, or 50,000 pounds of tomatoes.Many people now see the benefits of switching to a vegetarian diet, not just for health reasons, but also because it plays a vital role in protecting the environment. However, some nutritionists advise against switching to a totally strict vegetarian, or vegan diet. They believe a vegan diet, which excludes all products from animal sources, such as cheese, eggs, and milk, can be short of many necessary vitamins and minerals our bodies need.Today, many people know it’s important to take better care of their bodies and to use the earth’s resources more efficiently. As this understanding spreads, more people may realize that to help the environment and for the human race to survive, more of us will need to become vegetarians.21.The underlined word “it” in Para.3 refers to ___________.A.methane gas B.carbon dioxideC.expelling wind D.greenhouse gas22.Many figures are used in Para.4 to show ___________.A.growing tomatoes has the highest productionB.crop production is better than meat productionC.meat production consumes too much water and landD.farm animals are the main producer of the methane gas23.What message does the passage want to convey?A.Our diet is destroying the surroundings.B.Raising farm animals affects the environment.C.A vegetarian diet helps to protect the environment.D.More and more people are becoming strict vegetarians.B On March 10, 2019, eight-year-old Tanitoluwa ''Tani'' Adewumi defeated 73 young competitors to win the New York State Scholastic Chess Championship in his age group — kindergarten to third grade — with five wins and one draw. While the achievement is remarkable in itself, what is even more so is that the youngster, who was homeless at the time, began learning the game less than a year ago.Tani and his family arrived in New York City from Nigeria in 2017, seeking religious protection. A church pastor(牧师)helped find the family of four space in a homeless shelter in Manhattan and, soon after, Tani entered the local elementary school. It was here that the young talent was first introduced to the basics of chess by a part-time teacher. Attracted by the game, the then seven-year-old begged his mother, Oluwatoyin, to allow him to join the school's chess club. The family were concerned that they would be unable to afford the fees and expenses, which add up to thousands of dollars due to travel and chess competition admissions, Oluwatoyin emailed chess instructor Russell Makofsky, who ran the club. To her surprise and delight, Makofsky agreed to waive all costs for young Tani. The rest, as they say, is history. The young boy, who has got seven prizes in less than a year, currently ranks 27 in America in his age group.Though the chess club certainly helps, Tani's success can be largely owed to the efforts he has put into the game. The chess talent practices the game for several hours a day either on the floor with his board, or online, using his dad’s laptop. Every Saturday, Tani and his mother head to Harlem for a free 3-hour class to help further sharpen his game skills.Not surprisingly, Tani's incredible story, first reported by The New York Times, has resulted in an outpouring of support from the American public. Shortly after the young boy won the New York State Championship, Makofsky began a GoFundMe campaign for Tani and his family to ''secure a home where he can continue on his journey''.And the heartwarming story gets even better! Since they now have a home, the family have decided to ''pay it forward'' and donate the over $200,000 collected on GoFundMe to African immigrants in America who are struggling the way the family was.24.What made Tani's achievement especially remarkable?A.His young age B.His quick learningC.Support from his family D.Help from his teacher25.What does the underlined part ''to waive all costs for young Tani'' in Paragraph 2 mean?A.To pay for Tani's schooling. B.To raise money for Tani's family.C.To teach Tani free of charge. D.To spend more on Tani’s training.26.What's paragraph 3 mainly about?A.Success of Tani. B.Activities of the chess club.C.Tani's devotion to the game. D.Public reaction to Tani's story.27.What does the last paragraph tell us about the family?A.They are caring. B.They live in poverty.C.They are honest. D.They are pitiful.C I was 16 when my father finally decided he would send me to a wilderness camp for several months. He had threatened to do it many times before, but my mother had always managed to prevent him from doing so. This time he insisted on doing it.The latest incident was the last straw. Impulsively （(冲动地)）, I had pushed Mr. Ford, my math teacher, down a flight of steps at school. He broke his arm in two places. Anyway, he had agreed not to accuse me as a favor to my dad, who was in the middle of a tight race for sheriff （警长） in our town. But my reckless behavior had my dad's closest advisor talking.“John, he's your son and he's a kid, but he is dragging you down,” I heard Jake Hutch tell my dad through his closed office door the night after I pushed Mr. Ford. “If you can't make your son obey the rules, how can you make the law obeyed in this town?”So, off to Pisgah National Forest I went. I imagined hours of untold abuse at the hands of some strong sergeants （军士）. I was determined not to be broken. I was who I was.Nearly every day for six months, a small group of other troubled teens and I carried our 30-pound backpacks on a difficult journey covering about 10 miles. We hiked in a rough wilderness that seemed untouched by civilization.Our sergeants were firm but kind, not frightening as I had imagined. We learned how to make a fire without matches and create a shelter with branches and grass. We learned which plants were safe to eat out in the wild. I felt myself change. I was calm and often reflective. My old, impulsive self was gone.One morning, six months later, my dad came to pick me up. I ran to hug him and saw happiness and love in his eyes.“So what's it like being sheriff?” I asked on the ride home.“I lost the race, Danny,” he said.“I'm sorry, Dad.” I knew my behavior probably had a lot to do with the defeat.Dad squeezed my shoulder and brought me close. “As long as I don't ever lose you, I'm okay.”28.The author was finally sent to a wilderness camp for the reason that _______.A.he could learn how to survive in the wildB.he had pushed his math teacher down the stairsC.his teacher insisted on giving him a lessonD.his mother feared that he would be accused29.The underlined word “reckless” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _______.A.courageous B.carelessC.strange D.rude30.According to the passage, what do we know about the author?A.He was still what he used to be after camping.B.He was not satisfied with his life in the camp.C.He changed a lot after camping.D.He became friends with other troubled teens at the camp.31.What's the author's father's feeling at the end of the story?A.Relieved B.Upset.C.Disappointed. D.Anxious.D When Joshua Coombes got off the bus in Washington, D.C., on this past February, he didn’t set off for the usual tourist attractions along the National Mall. Instead, the London-based hairdresser (理发师) headed for the marble fountain where homeless people gather outside. Most travellers walk by without a second glance. So what Coombes did next may well have surprised them: He chatted with them, pulled out his scissors and gave them haircuts, free of charge.Whether in London, New York or Washington, D.C., homelessness can seem like a problem too huge and difficult to deal with. But Coombes realised that he didn’t have to solve all of everyone’s problems to make an impact. Sometimes, a small luxury such as a haircut can go a long way in boosting someone’s dignity, he told The Washington Post.Two years ago, he founded the campaign Do Something For Nothing. His mission: to make a positive impact by giving haircuts to homeless people he meets on city streets, connecting with them on a human level and sharing their stories on social media. So far he has cut the hair of hundreds of homeless people, including a few women.For Coombes, the campaign is about the importance of human connections. He wants to bring people together, regardless of what their relations are, and he sees the simple act of conversation as a step toward strengthening ties between people. In an age when virtual interactions can replace a real sense of community, Coombes finds haircuts to be a simple but important way to connect with people physically and emotionally.Coombes’s world travels are partially funded through companies and NGOs that commission him to speak about his campaign. As he devotes more time to it, he has steadily decreased the hours he spends in the salon at home. His most recent trip to the US was sponsored by Leesa Sleeps, a Virginia-based mattress company. He will leave for Barcelona soon and plans to return to the US in the next few months.32.What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A.The homeless people. B.The tour guides.C.The travelers. D.The hairdressers.33.What is the purpose of Coombes’s founding the campaign?A.To make the homeless people more beautiful.B.To increase the connections with homeless people.C.To bring the homeless people together to the shelters.D.To help the homeless people change the real sense of community.34.What do we know about Coombes?A.He dislikes usual tourist attractions.B.He travels around the world with his own expenses.C.He thinks people can take action to positively affect others’ life.D.He goes away from home in order to travel around the country.35.What is the main idea of the text?A.A hairdresser travels with homeless people.B.Homeless people are connecting together.C.Companies work together to help homeless people.D.A hairdresser helps homeless people through haircuts.第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Shortness of breath has many different causes, and the treatment of it is specific for each cause. 36.There are, however, some following first aid steps you can use to treat it, at least until the ambulance arrives or you're able to get the victim to a hospital.37. The more energy you spend, the more oxygen you use and the more short of breath you feel. Think about a good workout at the gym. Exercise hard enough and you will feel short of breath. The cure? Take a break.Let the victim sit, stand or lie where’s the most comfortable. There're lots of myths about how some body positions supposedly provide more airflow. Coaches regularly tell players to hold their arms above their heads to maximize chest expansion. Nursing staff think the ''tripod position'' is the best position. 38.Use oxygen. This is a special case used only for people with chronic(慢性的)lung problems. If the victim has oxygen available, this is what it's for. 39. The victim may have been told by his or her doctor that too much oxygen for too long might cause more problems. Make sure the victim that sudden increases in shortness of breath are the instances in which oxygen is needed most.Treat the cause of shortness of breath. 40. Asthma(哮喘)patients, for example, often have multiple tools and drugs to fix sudden shortness of breath. Victims of lung infections may need to see a doctor and heart attack victims may need an ambulance.A.Have the victim rest.B.Take more exercise at the gym.C.The victim should use his or her oxygen as directed by a doctor.D.There're many causes of shortness of breath and many of them are treatable.E.The victim can try to avoid making use of his or her oxygen whenever possible.F.Every person is different, however, so let the victim decide what position feels most comfortable.G.In many cases, the only way to treat shortness of breath is to call 911or take the victim to a doctor.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 When I started teaching at my school, parents refused to send their children here.
