“Snap (咔嚓), snap”, went Emily’s phone as she took a photo of her avocado (牛油果) toast for breakfast. Then, she posted it on Instagram, a popular social photo-sharing app. Emily is one of the millions of millennials – those born between the years 1981 and 1996 – in the West who are in love with avocados.
So why is the avocado, a green-colored fruit with a rough black outer shell originating from Mexico, loved so much by millennials?
At the start of the last century in the US, avocados weren’t popular. But this changed thanks to good marketing. Firstly, their name was changed from “alligator pear (鳄梨)” to the nicer-sounding “avocado”. Then in the 1990s, at the Super Bowl – the US’ famous annual sports event watched by tens of millions on TV – a Mexican sauce made with avocados called guacamole (墨西哥牛油果酱) was advertized. After this, avocados’ popularity soared. According to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, the value of avocados increased by nearly 70 percent between 1988 and the year 2000 in the US.
But it wasn’t until the 2010s, when millennials started the avocado toast trend that it became a fruit celebrity. Avocados, as a superfood rich in nutrients and “good” fats, are perfect for millennials, who are regarded as a health-conscious generation. As reported by USA Today, millennials are more interested in food than previous generations. For them, eating is not just about feeling full; it’s about a lifestyle. They care more about their well-being and eat healthier and more plant-based foods.
Of these foods, avocado toast is the poster child. On a list of the top 25 millennial food trends, Therecipe.com ranked avocado toast as number one. Millennials are a social-media- savvy (擅长社交媒体的) generation. They love sharing their lives online through artistic pictures. The vibrant (有活力的) green-colored avocado spread on toast for breakfast became very Instagrammable. The avocado craze hasn’t stopped with eating. Searching online, you’ll find endless results for avocado-themed items. In 2019, Disney even released a line of avocado-themed merchandise (商品).
Trends always come and go. But the millennials’ avocado trend isn’t showing any signs of disappearing anytime soon.
24. Why does the author mention Emily’s story in paragraph 1?
A. To promote a healthy fruit.
B. To show millennials’ love for avocados.
C. To indicate the popularity of Instagram among millennials.
D. To describe a typical lifestyle of millennials.
25. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. Why avocados weren’t popular.
B. Why avocados’ name was changed.
C. How the value of avocados was recognized.
D. How avocados became popular.
26. Why do millennials love avocados?
A. They taste good with toast. B. They contain almost no fat.
C. They are nutritious and healthy. D. They are a fruit celebrity.
27. What has helped promote avocado on toast?
A. Millennials sharing artistic pictures online.
B. Therecipe.com ranking it as the tastiest food.
C. The commercial value of the avocado.
D. The amount of avocado-themed items online.

Two pig farmers in Suffolk, East England have succeeded in feeding one million bees after participating in a project that saw them turn over half of their land to wildflowers. Four years ago, brothers Mark and Paul Hayward decided to fill 81 acres of their farm land with wildflowers. This week, a study was carried out monitoring insect activity on the flower-covered land, which found they were feeding one million bees at any time.
"This was our target when we started, to grow enough flowers to feed a million bees on a single day." Mark said. "We are acutely aware that bees are under threat from modern farming methods and that East England is one of the worst places where bees are seriously suffering from lack of foraging diversity (觅食多样性)," he continued.
"Every third bite of food you eat can come from bees and we wanted to create an operation on our farm that did not push nature out but rather hugged it-as a central part of our ecology system and our food cycle," he said.
The farm uses all kinds of seeds which can produce many different wild plants and of course, the bees can get food from different wildflowers.
"We are taking a very small role in helping society restore a balance and this starts with plant diversity to encourage insects, bees, small mammals (哺乳动物), and birds," said Paul. "At the end of the day, we see ourselves as caretakers of this land. Between us we have six children and we owe it to them to farm sustainability (持续性) and set an example for the generations to come," added Paul.
According to the Bee Conservation Trust, many types of bees have seen their populations decline by 70%, and two species have become extinct in the last century.
Gill Perkins, CEO of the Bee Conservation Trust said, "Thanks to Mark and Paul, at least here, 1 million bees can keep living, which is of great significance for ourselves now and future."
28. What can we know about the brothers from the first two paragraphs?
A. They have about 160 acres of land.
B. They grow wild flowers for pigs.
C. They are not good at growing wild flowers.
D. They have to support 1,000,000 bees in their land.
29. Why are bees under threat in East England?
A. There is not enough food for bees.
B. Bees are not used to the modern society.
C. There are too many animals eating bees.
D. Bees can not find different wild flowers.
30. What is the Gill Perkins' attitude to the action?
A. Opposed. B. Doubtful. C. Supportive. D. Disappointed.
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Bees are in Danger Now
B. Two Brothers Feed a Million Bees
C. One Million Bees are Surviving in East England
D. Two Brothers Love Wild Flowers in East England
D
After years of observing human nature, I have decided that two qualities make the difference between men of great achievement and men of average performance: curiosity and discontent. I have never known an outstanding man who lacked either. And I have never known an average man who had both. The two belong together.
Together, these deep human urges count for much more than ambition. Galileo was not merely ambitious when he dropped objects of varying weights from the Leaning Tower at Pisa and timed their fall to the ground. Like Galileo, all the great names in history were curious and asked in discontent, “Why? Why? Why?”
Fortunately, curiosity and discontent don't have to be learned. We are born with them and need only recapture them.
“The great man,” said Mencius, “is he who does not lose his child's heart.” Yet most of us do lose it. We stop asking questions. We stop challenging custom. We never doubt.
We just follow the crowd that desires only the calm and restful average. The crowd encourages us to occupy our own little corner, to avoid foolish leaps into the dark, to be satisfied. We will have to force ourselves to do just the opposite so as to waken our curiosity and discontent.
How should you start, modestly, so as not to become discouraged? I think of one friend who couldn't arrange flowers to satisfy herself. She was curious about how the experts did it. Now she is one of the experts, writing books on flower arrangement.
One way to begin is to answer your own excuses. You haven't any special ability? Most people don't; there are only a few geniuses. You haven't any time? That's good, because it's always the people with no time who get things done. Harriet Stowe, mother of six, wrote parts of Uncle Tom's Cabin while cooking. You're too old? Remember that Thomas Costain was 57 when he published his first novel, and that Grandma Moses showed her first pictures when she was 78.
However you start, remember there is no better time to start than right now, for you'll never be more alive than you are at this moment.
32. In writing Paragraph 1, the author aims to ________.
A. give an example B. present an argument
C. propose a definition D. make a comparison
33. What does the example of Galileo tell us?
A. Trial and error leads to the finding of truth.
B. Creativity results from challenging authority.
C. Greatness comes from a lasting desire to explore.
D. Ambition is more important than curiosity and discontent.
34. What can you do to recapture curiosity and discontent?
A. Lead a life of adventure. B. Follow the fashion.
C. Develop a questioning mind. D. Observe the unknown around you.
35. What could be the best title for the passage?
A. The Keys to Achievement B. Never Too Late to Learn
C. Curious Minds Never Feel Content D. Reflections on Human Nature

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。选项中两项为多余选项。
The 24 solar terms (节气) are part of the traditional Chinese calendar. The Chinese people divided a year into 24 segments (片段) based on the sun’s position in the zodiac (黄道十二宫).  36 They reflect the changes of the seasons, climate and phenology (生物气候学). The Yellow River Basin in northern China is believed to be the cradle (摇篮) of the solar terms system.
37 They mark things like seasons, temperature, precipitation (降水), growth of the crops and weather conditions. Many farmers still rely on the solar terms to work in the fields.
Most of the solar terms bear with them rich social and cultural meanings. 38 The “Pure Brightness” is also referred to as tomb-sweeping day, when people pay respect to those they have lost.
The ancient calendar remains relevant to this day. 39
The cultural legacy reflects the Chinese people’s respect for nature and tradition, their unique understanding of the universe, their wisdom to live in harmony with nature, and the world’s cultural diversity, said Zhang Ling, an official with the Ministry of Culture in 2017.
It is the youth of China who can best help carry on this significant part of our culture.  40 Many young people have already been contributing their energy and strength to this feat. In fact, they have been living up to this challenge through rather artistic means. Many photos, essays and paintings have centered around the theme of the 24 solar terms and expressed the vitality and rich tradition of Chinese history.
A. Each segment is called a solar term.
B. For instance, during the “Start of Winter”, people eat dumplings.
C. The sun’s positions bring about many things related to human life.
D. Their wisdom for life and nature made the solar system still popular today.
E. Their creativity and consciousness can bring new life to the ancient culture.
F. Solar terms were instructions for agricultural production and people’s daily lives.
G. This has long been a central element of life in China and we must protect it.

Last Saturday, our classmates, accompanied by our teachers, went to visit the West Hill Park as an Autumn Hike. That was a fine day, which made us relaxed. When we arrived at the park at 10:00 in the morning, our teachers asked us to appreciate the beautiful scenery. We noticed some leaves turning yellow and some still remaining green. The whole park looked just like a great painting. Some students began to take photos in order to keep the moment for ever. We walked, sang some songs and laughed happily.
We have lost ourselves in studying and forgot to eye the beauty of nature in person. I do wish that our school would organize more activities like this in future. (120 words)
