  I am not good at fine dining. Even after a couple of formal meals in college, I still didn’t know how to balance a pile of peas on the back of my fork, which is obviously the European style.

  Honestly, I think I am much more used to the simple language of chopsticks. Simple, however, by no means straightforward. To me, the humble(微不足道的) art of chopsticks carries more than any silver knives or forks ever could.

My grandfather’s language of love is teaching. I still remember how my grandfather teaches me to use chopsticks the proper way.”Only your first two fingers should be moving,” he tells me,“and your two chopsticks must never cross.” He can use chopsticks skillfully. He shows me chopstick tricks and we play games with chopsticks, like trying to take a pea from the other’s chopsticks grip. With a pair of chopsticks and his powerful hand, there is no need for any other cutlery when even noodles can be cut clean with a pair of chopsticks.

  My grandmother’s language of love is food. In her hand, wooden chopsticks are no longer just cutlery, but a tool to show her concern.“Come, eat more,” she always says while using chopsticks to pick up food for me. When my grandfather comes home from a long day’s work, despite all the nagging that she gives to him, my grandmother always happily places the best part of their food onto his plate with chopsticks, and takes the rest for herself. There is no need for any words, when the love can be expressed with a pair of chopsticks.

   Using chopsticks takes practice, patience and tenacity. After more than fifty years of marriage, my grandparents are still studying it and practicing it, with every meal and every mouthful. Mastering the loving language of chopsticks takes even more work, perhaps nobody can ever really be an expert-but isn’t that the beauty of it? Though our chopsticks may cross from time and we might drop the food on the table, we can always pick it up and try again.

24. What does the author think of chopsticks according to the first two paragraphs?

1. They are no different from forks.    B. They cannot be used for fine dining.
2. They are straightforward.          

D. They are easier to use than knives and forks.

25. The underlined word “tenacity” in paragraph 5 probably means“_______”.

A. Courage     B. faith       C. perseverance       D. optimism

26. What could be the best structure of the passage?

     P1              P1-P2            P1             P1

P2        P5       P3      P4     P2  P3  P4    P2-P3   P4

   P3  P4              P5              P5             P5

27.            What does the author mainly want to tell us?

1. The usage of chopsticks.             B. The development of chopsticks.
2. The meaning carried by chopsticks.     D. The art of chopsticks.

C

    Engineers have launched a huge garbage collection device to gather plastic material floating in the Pacific Ocean between California and Hawaii.

The plastic makes up what is called the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. It is the world’s largest spread of garbage, at twice the size of the state of Texas.

The organization Ocean Cleanup created the collection device, whose founder is Boyan Slat, a 24-year-old inventor from the Netherlands.

Slat was just 16 years old when he was moved to clean up the oceans. Last Saturday, a ship pulling the pipe-shaped floating barrier left San Francisco for the Garbage Patch. The barrier, called the floater, is 600 meters across. Attached to it is a screening skirt that hangs three meters down in the water.

The screen is designed to collect the plastic as it moves through the water. Sea animals can safely swim under the barrier.

The cleanup system also comes with lights powered by the sun, cameras, and other special devices. So the system can communicate its position at all times. That way a support ship can find it every few months to remove the plastic it has collected.

“The free-floating barriers are made to survive extreme weather conditions and damage from continue use. They will stay in the water for twenty years and in that time collect 90 percent of the garbage in the patch,” Slat added.

George Leonard is the chief scientist. He expressed concern about the cleaning project. He said even if plastic garbage can be taken out of the oceans, more continues to enter the water each year. He also raised concern that animals might be captured by the net hung below the surface.

But, Boyan Slat said he did not think that would happen. The system will act as a “big boat that stands still in the water”, with nothing for sea creatures to get caught in.

28.            Why was a screen attached to the ship?

1. To gather plastic.           B. To catch see animals.

C. To protect the floater.         D. To give the floater power.

29. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to?

  A. The support ship.             B. The floating barrier.

  C. The plastic to be recycled.       D. The position of special devices.

30. What is not the advantage of the cleanup system?

   A. It’s easy to locate.            B. It is not affected by bad weather.

   B. It can last and work for a long time.  D. It’s popular with people.

31. What is the best title for the passage?

   A. A young inventor from Netherlands.   B. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch. 

   C. Approaches to removing garbage in oceans. 

D. A huge garbage collection device.

D

Imagine this: You’re at a movie theater food stand loading up on snacks. You have a choice of a small, medium or large soda. The small is $3.50 and the large is $5.50. It’s a tough decision: The small size may not last you through the whole movie, but $5.50 for some sugary drink seems ridiculous. But there’s a third option, a medium soda for $5.25. The medium might be just right for you, but the large only cost a quarter more. If you’re like the majority of people, you end up buying the large.

If you’re wondering who would purchase the medium soda, the answer is almost no one. Actually, there’s a good chance that the marketing department purposely priced the medium soda as a decoy(诱饵), making you more likely to buy the soda rather than the small.

I have written about this unique human nature previously with my friend Dan Ariely, who, after noticing pricing for subscription(订阅) to The Economist, studied this phenomenon extensively. The digital subscription was $59, the print subscription was $125, and the print plus digital subscription was also $125. No one in their right mind would buy the print subscription when you could get digital as well for the same price, so why was it even an option? Ariely ran an experiment and found that when only the two“real”choices were offered, more people chose the less-expensive digital subscription. However, the bad option increased people’s likelihood of selecting the expensive print plus digital option.

Brain scientists call this effect“asymmetric dominance” and it means that people are attracted to the option that is closest to an obviously inferior(较差的) option. Marketing professors call it the decoy effect, which is certainly easier to remember. It works because of the way our brain assign value when making choices. Value is rarely absolute; rather, we decide an object’s value relative to other choices. If more options are introduced, the value equation(方程) changes.

32. What’s the function of the example in paragraph 1?

1. To offer background information.   B. To explain an economical phenomenon.

C. To arouse the readers’ interest in the topic. 

D. To illustrate a rule when buying drinks.

33. What do we learn from Dan Ariely’s experiment?

  A.  The Economist’s print edition turns out to sell the best.

  B. More readers choose the digital over the print edition.

  C. Lower-priced goods attract more customers.

  D. The Economist’s promotional strategy works.

34. From which website would you most probably find this text?

A. https://www.lifestyle.com/health      B.https://www. science.com/local

C. https://www.consumers.com/money   D. https://www.education.com/science

35. How do we assess the value of a product, according to the passage?

  A. by considering its usefulness.          B. Comparing it with other choices.

  C. By examining its value equation.      D. By taking its low quality into account.

   You realize your typically noisy and energetic kid has stopped bouncing around, hasn’t moved from the couch for more than an hour and isn’t hungry. When you go check on them, you discover they’re burning up. Uh-oh, a fever.  36  . But as Dr. Natasha Collia reminds us, “fever is not necessarily a bad thing. Fever is simply your body’s way of alerting you it’s fighting an infection.” Here is Collia’s advice on how to manage rising temperatures in your household.

     37 ?

   Touching your child’s skin is not a reliable way to check for fever. To confirm a fever, you’ll need to take your child’s temperature. Any temperature of 38℃(100.4°F) or higher is a fever.

How can I keep my child comfortable when they’re running a fever?

You can help keep your child cool by removing thick clothes, applying a lukewarm cloth, or giving them lukewarm baths. Place a fan in where they are sleeping or resting.  38   .

You can also manage your child’s fever with an over-the -counter(OTC) medicine, like acetaminophen or ibuprofen medication(退热药). The key thing to understand about acetaminophen or ibuprofen is that while they can make your child more comfortable, they don’t treat the underlying cause of the fever.

How long should I keep my child on OTC fever meds?

Something for parents to keep in mind is that a fever actually helps with the progress of the illness. The fever helps the body fight an infectious process by lowering the amount of virus.  39  , you shouldn’t keep the fever from rising.

  40  . When a child is on a fever-reducing medication24/7, it’s hard for us to understand the fever curve. As a physician, I won’t know if going down or if the medicine is making it go down.

1. How do I take my child’s temperature
2. Additionally, ensure that your child drink enough water
3. How do I know if my child has a fever
4. Although your child may be uncomfortable
5. When your child’s temperature reaches 38.6℃
6. Fever-reducing medicine should not be given to your child continuously for   long periods of time
7. This is more likely to occur as the cold and flu season approaches

   That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater. With opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me.

   As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away any possible robbers(抢劫犯). Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.

   About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.

Suddenly I wasn’t cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where I’d heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.

注意：

1.续写词数应为150左右；
