A Dutch city will become the first in the world to.ban meat advertisements from public spaces in an effort to reduce consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.The ban also covers holiday flights，fossil fuels and cars that run on fossil fuels.The ban is delayed until 2024 due to existing contracts with companies that sell the products.
Haarlem，which lies to the west of Amsterdam and has a population of about 160，000，will bring the ban into effect from 2024 after meat was added to a list of products deemed to contribute to the climate crisis.Advertisements will not be allowed on Haarlem's buses，shelters and screens in public spaces，prompting complaints from the meat sector that the government is "going too far in telling people what's best for them".
Recent studies suggest global food production is responsible for one-third of all planet-heating emissions，with the use of animals for meat accounting for twice the pollution of producing plant-based foods.Forests that absorb carbon dioxide are cut down for the food of animals while fertilisers used for growing their feed are rich in nitrogen（氮），which can contribute to air pollution，water pollution and climate change.Livestock also produces large quantities of methane（甲烷），a powerful greenhouse gas.
Zlggy Klazes，a councillor from the GroenLinks party，said she had not known the city would be the world's first to enforce such a policy when she proposed it.She told the Haarlem105 radio channel："We are not about what people are baking and roasting in their own kitchen；if people want to continue eating meat，it's fine.We can't tell people there's a climate crisis and meanwhile，encourage them to buy products that are part of the cause.Of course，there are a lot of people who find the decision shocking and unreasonable，but there are also a lot of people who think it's fine."

24. What does the meat sector think of the ban？ ______

A. Disapproving. B. Neutral. C. Indifferent. D. Positive.

25. What do recent studies show？ ______

A. Nitrogen is harmful to the environment.
B. Methane mainly comes from livestock.
C. Meat consumption causes more pollution.
D. People cut down trees for human habitation.

26. What message do Ziggy Klazes's words convey？ ______

A. She is the first to ban meat advertisement.
B. She is in favor of banning meat advertising.
C. She emphasizes the advantage of eating meat.
D. She cares about what people cook in the kitchen.

27. What is the best title for the text？ ______

A. Fossil fuels are banned in Dutch city.
B. Dutch city decreases meat production.
C. Dutch city bans meat advertisements in public.
D. Greenhouse gas emissions are limited in Dutch city.

C

When your alarm clock rings and you drag yourself out of bed，you probably wonder：Why on earth does school have to start so early？
Fortunately，there is a new law to back you up — or better still，science.
A law in California，passed on Oct 13，requires that public middle schools begin classes no earlier than 8：00 am and that high schools start no earlier than 8：30 am.The law will go into effect by November 1，2022.
Starting school at 8：00 or 8：30 in the morning may not sound like too big of a change，but it could mean one more hour of sleep for students who used to start school at 7：30 or even earlier.
"The effect of that one hour is something they will be feeling as 40-year-old adults，" Sumit Bhargava，a sleep expert at Stanford University，told The New York Times.He said that not having enough sleep can affect students' mental health and increase the risk of being overweight and diabetes （糖尿病）.
In the short run，students' school performances should improve almost immediately.Kyla Wahlstrom，a researcher at the University of Minnesota's College of Education，found that students who have enough sleep are in class and get much more satisfying grades.
Some might say that asking students to go to bed earlier could have been a much easier solution than changing the school timetable across an entire state.But according to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine，teenagers go through biological changes when they enter puberty （青春期），which makes it difficult for them to fall asleep before 11：00 pm.So when school starts at 8：00 or earlier，they can hardly get the ideal 8.5 - 9.5 hours of sleep that experts suggest they need to do their best in the daytime.
This is why when the new law came out，its author，Anthony Portantino，said， "Generations of children will come to appreciate this historic day and our governor for taking action."

28. Which of the following is TRUE about the law？ ______

A. The law has not been put into practice yet.
B. The law will be passed by November 1，2022.
C. The law is made by a university in California.
D. The law requires schools to start later than 8：30 am.

29. What can we learn from Bhargava's words？ ______

A. The new law is of lasting benefit to students.
B. Lack of sleep affects adults more than children.
C. The amount of sleep people need changes with age.
D. Enough sleep makes sure that students are mentally healthy.

30. What does the underlined word "alert" in Paragraph 6 probably mean？ ______

A. Friendly. B. Honest. C. Calm. D. Sharp.

31. What's the text mainly about？ ______

A. Lack of sleep could lead to health problems.
B. California is pushing back school start times.
C. A law to start the school day later takes effect.
D. Teenagers' biological changes affect their sleep patterns.

D

Paying ﹩25，000 to get your pet cloned might sound attractive，if you have the money and can't imagine life without your pet.
There are two companies now that can clone your pet：ViaGen and Sooam Biotech.Lab techs there will clone your pet using a process called somatic cell nuclear transfer （体细胞核移植），the same method used to clone Dolly the sheep in 1996.This involves removing the nucleus from a female's developing egg cell and replacing it with the nucleus from a cell from the animal you want to clone.The new cell is then stimulated （刺激） with an electric shock to make it divide and then implanted into a host organism （有机体）.
The decision to clone your pet has to take place while they're still alive.You need to sign up with the company and take your pet to the vet so they can harvest some cells.Then，for between ﹩1-2000，the company will store the cells.Even if you decide to stop，there's no refund for the storage.If you decide to have your pet cloned，you'll pay a much larger deposit to perform the cell transfer and implant the cells into a host animal.
What's most important to consumers is the product.Your clone is a twin of your former pet，but it won't necessarily look or act like the original.They may have different colors and you don't get your money back.Even the companies admitted in New York Times "You can clone the look of a dog，but you can't clone the soul."

32. Why did the author mention Dolly the sheep？ ______

A. To ensure the safety of cloning.
B. To show that it is easy to clone sheep.
C. To prove the technology has a long history.
D. To tell readers the method used to clone their pets.

33. What can we know about cloning a pet？ ______

A. Your pet can be brought back to life.
B. The charge of pet cloning is ﹩1-2000.
C. Your new pet will have a parent when cloned.
D. The company will refund you if you give up halfway.

34. What do the companies' words in the last paragraph mean？ ______

A. Cloning is a moral issue.
B. The future of cloning is unclear.
C. The technology of cloning is not perfect.
D. Yon won't get the exact copy of the former one.

35. Where is the text most likely from？ ______

A. A travel guide. B. A newspaper.
C. A science fiction. D. A textbook.

True love is happiness.True love is sharing your world with your dearest.How do you turn friendship into love？Is there a fine line between the two？ 36

Whatever the situation is，put yourself in your friends' shoes.If they are in trouble，help them out. 37 If they are sad，be a shoulder to cry on.Nobody doesn't like to be close friends with a considerate and thoughtful person.
38
If you're really good friends with some people，go into town to catch a coffee，invite them on walks，or just invite them to your house for a bit of a catch-up.The possibilities are endless.Just make sure you know them well enough to feel comfortable having deep conversations and sharing your world with them.You don't want them to be creeped out （爬出） with your sudden eagerness and interest.

Now one foot，now the other Bobby was named after his grandfather，Bob.Bob was the one who helped Bobby learn to walk. "Hold on to my hands，Bobby，"his grandfather said. "Now one foot，now the other."
One of the best things Bob and Bobby did was to play with the old wooden blocks that were kept on a shelf，in the small sewing room under the front stairs.The blocks had pictures of animals on them.Bob and Bobby would put the blocks one on top of the other very slowly，building a tall tower.Sometimes the tower would be almost finished. "Just one more block，" Bob would say."And that's the elephant block." And they would carefully put the elephant block on the very top.But Bob would sneeze and the tower would fall down.Bobby would laugh and laugh.Then Bob would sit Bobby on his knee and tell him stories."Bob，tell me the story about how you taught me to walk，" Bobby would say.And his grandfather would tell Bobby how he held Bobby's hands and said， "Now one foot，now the other.And before you knew it ..."
Then one day Bobby came home from school and his grandfather wasn't there. "Bob is in the hospital，" Dad told Bobby，"He's had a stroke （中风） and he is too sick to see anyone." Months later，his father told him that Bob was coming home.
"Now，Bobby，" Dad said， "Bob is still very sick.He can't move or talk.And he can't remember us."Bobby just nodded and didn't say anything.
One day，Bob tried to say something to Bobby，but the sound that came out was awful.Bobby ran out of the room."Bob sounded like a monster!" Bobby cried. "He can't help it，Bobby，"Mom said.So，Bobby went back to the room where Bob was sitting.
"I didn't mean to run away，Bob.I'm sorry，" Bobby said. "Do you know who I am？" Bobby thought he saw Bob blink （眨眼睛） his eyes.
"Mom，" Bobby called. "Bob knows who I am."

Originally To whom it may concern， I' ve learned that a photography exhibition is to be held and that you' re collecting advice on the way of arrangement.I'm writing this letter to share my opinions with you.In my opinion，it is more advisable to hold the photography exhibition in school library than on campus website.My reasons are as follows. At first，the library of our school is spacious，which provides visitors with a comfortable environment for appreciating the exhibition，so they will have a nice experience. Besides，watching the exhibition at school library is more convenient for visitors to interact withothers.Last but not least，a photography exhibition held on campus website has far less impact than that held in school library，because people may assume that holding a photography exhibition on website is just like a virtual activity. Therefore，I suggest the exhibition be held in school library. Yours，
Wang Lei

The blocks fell down and Bob smiled and moved his fingers up and down.Bobby laughed and laughed.Now he knew that Bob would get better. And Bob did.When the weather got nice and warm，Bobby decided to teach Bob how to walk in the park.

 Para 2：
    "OK，Bob.Now one foot，"Bobby said.Bob moved one foot. "Now the other foot." Bob moved the other.By the end of the summer，Bob and Bobby could walk to the end of the park road and Bob could talk better and better each day.One day the two finished a block building game.Bob said， "Bobby，tell stories how you teach Bob to walk." Bobby held his grandfather's hand gently and said， "Well，Bob，I held your arms and then I said， 'Now one foot，now the other. ' And before you knew it ..."
