Scientists estimate there are millions of trees on earth. I couldn’t believe that those trees can have a healing(治愈的)effect on people.
According to World Health Organization, 40 percent of American adults have at least two chronic(慢性病的)diseases, which include high blood pressure, mood disorders, heart problems and diabetes. According to the International Association of Applied Psychology, lower stress, better moods, better brain activity and even happiness can all be linked to spending time in the great outdoors. That’s why there are dozens of programs that prescribe nature as a potential form of healing. Nature is everywhere.
There are two major theories as to why nature is so good for our brains. The first one is called attention restoration theory. When we spend time in busy urban environments, all the hard edges, traffic, lights and people everywhere really make us have to constantly focus our attention on these things. Whereas when you spend time in nature, it helps restore your powers of attention and reduce that tiredness and bad-temper. The second major theory is called stress reduction theory. So basically, when we spend time in nature after stressful events, it helps us feel better and recover faster.
When I recommended nature for the first time to a patient of mine, he actually just nodded his head and said, “You’re absolutely right. When I spend more time in nature, I feel better.” And so, I think healthcare providers have to get over our own traditional mental views against this new sort of lifestyle, and prescribe something evidence-based, like nature time more often.
This is worth the effort to do. You need to get out of doors and just be surrounded by the greenery and by nature. You’ll feel calmer. You’ll feel less depressed and less anxious. It’s just a great way to deal with the stress of modern life.

Our planet quakes thousands of times a year, but we still can’t predict exactly when and where earthquakes will strike. What if animals’ odd behavior could warn us?
Researchers have reviewed hundreds of reports on pre-quake abnormal animal behaviors, but more were just anecdotes. Geologist Jim Berkland counted newspaper ads looking for runaway cats and dogs. On October 13, 1989, he told a newspaper reporter a big quake would strike in a week. Four days later, the Loma Prieta mega-quake hit! But the scientific community still rejected Berkland’s theory. He didn’t document every prediction, so nobody could measure his accuracy rate.
Actual scientific evidence has to be repeatable. And a connection between a cause and an effect has to be shown to be stronger than random chance through careful experimentation and data collection. California researchers in the 1970s happened to have built controlled habitats to monitor the wheel-running activity of pocket mice. These habitats happened to be in an active earthquake area. Then the 1971 San Fernando earthquake struck nearby. The researchers checked their data and found no big changes in how long the animals ran in their wheels or stayed underground before the earthquake activity. What might the next experiment show?
Researchers from 150 universities worldwide are working on a new study called the ICARUS project. The project tracks many small animal species such as birds, bats, and turtles for the purpose of scientific research. One group of researchers is looking for possible connections between animal behavior and earthquakes. If they find a reliable connection, this could save hundreds of thousands of human lives. ICARUS aims to power an app that will give people hours to get to safety.
However, not everyone is hopeful. Geologist Wendy Bohon said that ICARUS is doing some “cool things,” but she knows animal behavior is hard to pin down. “My cat could act crazy before an earthquake,” she says. “But it also acts crazy if somebody uses the can opener.”
8．What does the underlined word “anecdotes” mean in paragraph 2?
A．Real-life news stories.
B．Random individual studies.
C．Repeated scientific reports.
D．Unproved personal accounts.
9．Why was Berkland’s theory rejected by the scientific community?
A．He used unreliable data from newspaper ads.
B．His document wasn’t consistent with his theory.
C．His study didn’t include enough animal samples.
D．He failed to prove the accuracy of his predictions.
10．What is the ultimate goal of the ICARUS project?
A．To provide accurate pre-quake warnings.
B．To develop an app to call for help during quakes.
C．To seek worldwide cooperations in quake prediction.
D．To find connections between animal behaviors and quakes.
11．What is Wendy Bohon’s attitude towards the ICARUS project?
A．Disapproving.
B．Doubtful.
C．Intolerant.
D．Unclear

From the concert halls of Europe to the tech industries of the United States, C．J. Santos has created a story across the globe.
Bom in Brazil, Santos moved to Switzerland at the age of 18, and earned degrees in both music performance and business administration there. During his next 10 years of “intense” career as a professional musician, he spent most of his time on the road. “I had the honor to perform in the top concert halls in Europe,” Santos said. “It really wore me out to be constantly traveling and performing, but it allowed me to see the world and understand it in its full diversity. This was a unique experience, and I carry its benefits with me to this day”
Through these experiences, Santos was able to become fluent in six languages. With these skills under his belt, Santos worked with his wife, who is also fluent in four languages, to develop a small translation business.
“Running it with no prior business experience was a challenging but exciting learning-by-doing experience,“ Santos said. “In addition, the translation industry experienced a massive digital transformation in the last decade.”
This brought Santos to an MBA/M.S. program in business analytics and information management, where he got rich experience, knowledge and perspectives in different industries. The program provided him with something he clearly enjoys in life: variety “It helped me take the most advantage of the translation industry’s digital transformation. What I gained from the program is more than what I managed in the 15 years in Europe,” he added.
As Santos continues to grow his business, he’s also working as an advisor. “The world’s digital transformation has advanced at high speed,” he said. “To me, it’s very exciting to be a valuable resource to those who need help to jump onboard the digital express.”
12．What did Santos think of his career as a musician?
A．Stable but stressful.
B．Tiring but rewarding.
C．Unique and enjoyable.
D．Demanding and fruitless.
13．What drove Santos to take up the MBA/M.S. program?
A．His strong desire for a Master’s Degree.
B．The challenge from starting a new business.
C．His lack of education background in business.
D．The demand for a learning-by-doing experience.
14．What is paragraph 5 mainly about?
A．The great variety Santos enjoys in life.
B．The application of digital transformation.
C．The benefits Santos got from the program.
D．Santos’s viewpoint on translation industry.
15．In which aspect does Santos probably offer help as an advisor?
A．Digital solutions.
B．Business analysis.
C．Translation skills.
D．Resources management.

Pieter Bruegel’s iconic 1565 painting The Harvesters hangs at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The work showed people harvesting wheat nearly as tall as they were.“nowadays, however, if you walk through a wheat field, you basically see that wheat is about knee-height. The reduced height is essentially a consequence of breeding (培育)along with genes for increasing production to feed a growing population,” biologist De Smet explained.
De Smet says wheat is just one example of how historical artwork can allow us to track the transformation of food crops over time. He teamed up with art historian Vergauwen, a friend since childhood, to document such artwork around the world. They have been mainly looking at things where they can spot changes in shape, color and size.
Their interest in plants in artwork began with a visit to the Hermitage Museum, where they noticed an odd-looking watermelon in an early-17th-century painting. It appeared to be pale and white on the inside. Biologist De Smet assumed the painter had done a poor job. But art historian Vergauwen had a different idea. “No, this is one of the best painters ever from that era. So if he painted it like that, that’s the way it must have looked like,” he explained.
Other paintings revealed that both red and white watermelons were grown during the 17th century.“With all the genetic knowledge we now have, we can look in more detail how something comes about,”De Smet said. “For example, until the 18th century, European strawberries appeared tiny in paintings-they then grew in size as they were crossbred with North American varieties.”
Ultimately, the team hopes to create an online research database of historical plant artwork. They seek the contributions of art enthusiasts around the world via the social media. “However,” Vergauwen reminds, “if you’re going to use, for example, Picasso to try and understand how a pear looked in the early 20th century, you might be misled.”
16．What can we learn about the painting The Harvesters?
A．It shows how people successfully grew wheat.
B．It proves that wheat was much shorter in the past.
C．It explains the consequence of different breeding methods.
D．It gives clues about how wheat in the 16th century looked like.

Human activity emits far less methane(甲烷) than carbon dioxide, but methane has a bigger impact on the earth. Over the course of 20 years, a ton of the gas will warm the atmosphere about 86 times more than a ton of CO₂. As a result, methane has been responsible for 23% of the rise in temperatures since pre-industrial times. Carbon dioxide gets most of the attention, but unless methane emissions are limited, there is little hope of stabilizing the climate.
Unfortunately, methane emissions have been anything but stable. After briefly pausing in the early 2000s, atmospheric concentrations of the gas started rising again in 2007. A global inventory (清单) concluded last year, found that humans were largely to blame. Chief among the reasons for the rise are the gassy output of livestock farming, rice cultivation and the fossil-fuel industry. Agriculture and energy each make up roughly one-third of annual methane emissions.
By how much do methane emissions need to fall? Carbon dioxide lingers in the atmosphere for centuries, making it hard to reduce its atmospheric concentrations. By contrast, methane has a half-life of roughly ten years, which means that it degrades quickly. If new emissions can be cut to below the rate at which old emissions reduce, the concentration of methane lingering in the atmosphere will soon fall, slowing global warming. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change estimates that, to keep temperatures between 1.5°C and 2°C above pre-industrial levels, human methane emissions must drop to 35% below where they stood in 2010 by mid-century.
Politicians and the public tend to worry about carbon-dioxide emissions but neglect the effects of cutting methane. But dealing with the gas would have a large effect rapidly and at relatively low cost. Governments are supposed to firm up their commitments to cut emissions under the Paris agreement. It should go further and include a specific target for methane.
23．What does the text mainly argue for?
A．Methane emissions should be taken seriously.
B．Atmospheric concentrations of methane will soon fall.
C．Methane is mainly responsible for the rise in temperature.
D．Human activities were largely to blamed for the global warming.
24．Which statement is TRUE according to the text?
A．We’ve produced 86 times more carbon dioxide than methane.
B．Carbon dioxide takes up 23% of the responsibility for global warming.
C．Methane emissions have been rising dramatically since the early 2000s.
D．Carbon dioxide stays in the atmosphere for a long time while methane degrades quickly.
25．What is the main reason for the rise of methane emissions?
A．The rising temperature.
B．Agriculture and energy.
C．Rapidly developing industry.
D．Atmospheric concentrations of methane dropping slowly.
26．What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．Dealing with methane emissions will cost a lot.
B．Carbon dioxide emissions is no longer a serious problem.
C．Cutting methane emission is against the Paris agreement.
D．Governments should do more to reduce methane emissions.

We’ve all heard the stories of an actor’s struggles before a career breakthrough: living a hard life, working part time, being a couch potato before getting that major role. Shelby, the star of “A Dog’s Way Home,” has a hard-luck tale that could top them all. Before her big break, she was living in a landfill, rooting through garbage for her next meal.
Shelby’s big break came in April 2017, when animal-control officer Megan Buhler was driving in Cheatham County, Tennessee. Out on an unrelated call, Buhler spotted and approached what she recalled was a noticeably scared puppy emerging from the dump. “I knelt down and just said, ‘Oh, come here, baby,’” said Buhler. “She was so scared, but she came right up to me, and I was able to put her in my truck.” The pair headed to the county animal shelter, where the staff began calling the new resident Baby Girl.
Buhler and others didn’t know that 3,200 kilometers away, Hollywood was looking for a dog to play Bella in a film written by Cathryn Michon. The find-a-Bella job went to freelance trainer Teresa Ann Miler. Her mission was to search shelters nationwide for a dog that could play Bella. One day, Miller spotted Baby Girl’s adoption photo. “Honestly, it was a really good picture, and she was flat-out smiling,” Miller said. Then she met Baby Girl, and assessed her on personality and the ability to respond to simple commands. After assessment, she adopted Baby Girl from the shelter, renamed her Shelby and took her to California for training. Miller and Shelby trained for just over three months before filming began. Then they were together each day on the set.
Most of the film’s reviews have praised Shelby’s performance. Variety made the comments “an amazing dog, perfect performance!”
Shelby has come a long way from the dump. But Buhler said she saw Shelby recently had needed only a second to compare the movie star with the dog she found from piles of trash. “She’s exactly the same,” Buhler said.
27．Why does the author mention an actor’s struggle before a career breakthrough at the very beginning?
A．To introduce a dog’s similar but even more striking experiences.
B．To make a sharp contrast between an actor’s struggle and a dog’s struggle.
C．To clearly point out the main idea of the passage.
D．To attract reader’s attention by giving dramatic examples.
28．What finally helped Baby Girl get the big role in the film?
A．Her flat-out smiling. B．Her miserable experiences.
C．Her adoption picture. D．Her personality and ability.
29．By saying “She is exactly the same” in the last paragraph, Buhler probably means ________.
A．the dog returned to the piles of trash where she found it
B．the dramatic change of the dog’s life hasn’t changed her inner quality
C．the dog looked exactly the same as before
D．the dog’s really excited to see the dog she helped live such a happy life
30．What do you think may serve as the best title of the passage?
A．From a Landfill Puppy to a Movie Star.
B．The Success of “A Dog’s Way Home”.
C．The Trainer and Her Star Dog.
D．Shelby’s Hard-luck Story.

When 16-year-old Grayden Brunet joined the Sackets Harbor, New York, volunteer fire department in 2017, he was the youngest on the team by 20 years. He was so determined to be following in his dad’s footsteps that he persuaded two classmates, Niklas and Dalton, to sign up too.
A few years later, the older firefighters quit their jobs over COVID-19 concerns. Suddenly, the three teens were not only helping the Sackets Harbor volunteer fire department, they were the Sackets Harbor volunteer fire department. They were the ones responding to the emergency calls of heart attacks, car accidents, and suicides.And they were the ones who were responsible to send COVID-19 patients to hospitals. “We went from not even having our licenses to saving people’s lives,” Dalton told the reporter. As far as the teens were concerned, they couldn’t quit their jobs. If they did, Brunet told North County Public Radio,“The community would lose the emergency operators and the drivers of the ambulance.”
The three of them struggled on alone for a year until help arrived in the form of five more teens, all motivated to serve their neighbors in the town of 1,300 residents.“When they call 911, they’re expecting someone to help them,” says Sophia, who was 16 when she joined.
The job is taxing. One night last fall, the crew responded to two emergency calls and a fire. They got home at 5:30 a.m, just two hours before school started. “It’s definitely hard coming back from the calls and having to take an algebra test, Grayden’s younger brother Gannon said. But these brave teens didn’t mind the hard work. As a matter of fact, when callers met their rescuers, a lot of them would ask,“Wait, how old are you?” That was what they felt the most priceless moment.
34．Why did Brunet join the Sackets Harbor volunteer fire department?
A．Because his father set up an example for him.
B．Because the community needed the ambulance.
C．Because he was persuaded by Niklas and Dalton.
D．Because the older firefighters finally quit their jobs.

A．Effortless. B．Demanding. C．Enjoying. D．Helpful.
37．What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．They worked at the day time. B．They were tired of their work.
C．They could skip school after work. D．They were proud of their young age.

If we want to know where our capability for complex language came from, we need to look at how our brains are different from other animals. This relates to more than just brain size. It is important to know what other things our brains can do and when and why they evolved that way. One thing we can see in the remains of early humans,is the development of the mouth, throat and tongue, which allowed language to evolve.
At some point, our brains became able to make our mouths produce vowel and consonant sounds, and we developed the capacity to invent words to name things around us. These were the basic ingredients for complex language. The next change would have been to put those words into sentences. However, no one knows if the next step — adding grammar to signal past, present and future, for example, or plurals and relative clauses — required a further development in the human brain or was simply a response to our increasingly civilized way of living together.
Between 100,000 and 50,000 years ago, we start to see the evidence of early human civilization through cave paintings, though no one knows the connection between this and language. However, human brains did get bigger at this period. Moreover, humans did become more complex and more intelligent. Was it using language that caused their brains to develop, so that human could produce cave paintings? Or did their more complex brains start producing language? It was not clear yet.
More questions lie in looking at the influence of genetics on brain and language development. Are there genes that mutated (突变) and gave us language ability? Researchers have found a gene mutation that occurred between 200,000 and 100,000 years ago, which seems to have a connection with speaking and how our brains control our mouths and faces. Monkeys have a similar gene, but it did not undergo this mutation. It’s too early to say how much influence genes have on language, but one day the answers might be found in our DNA．
38．Which factor contributes to the development of language ?
A．The development of the human brain.
B．The complexity of the language structure.
C．The connection between diet and mutation.
D．The similarity between humans and monkeys.
39．What led to producing basic sounds in language?
A．The invention of grammar. B．The response to living together.
C．The requirement of civilization. D．The development of the mouth.
40．Why did the author mention “cave paintings” in paragraph 3?
A．To introduce a new topic about genetics.
B．To make a summary about the connection.
C．To present question about language and civilization.
D．To clear a misunderstanding about language development.
41．What is the writer’s attitude to the findings of genes?
A．Unclear. B．Positive. C．Doubtful. D．Indifferent.

“You are what you eat” is one of the most common cliches in dieting and health, entering wide use with the publication of Victor Lindlahr’ s book in 1942. The phrase narrowly assumes that our health is only determined by dieting, something that advocates of popular diets also want us to believe. The reality, however, is that our health and longevity are determined by much more than just diet. Exercising, avoiding risky behaviors, and staying productive can offset a less-than-perfect diet.
“What it suggests is that our health is rigidly determined by the specific foods and nutrients we put in our bodies. It says that if two people put the same foods in their bodies, they will have the same level of health,” sports nutritionist Matt Fitzgerald wrote in his 2014 book Diet Cults, in which he criticized many popular diet trends for being unscientific and ultimately ineffective.
Science has revealed a more detailed truth, Fitzgerald says.“We are what our bodies do with what we eat,” he clarified. The two great pillars of a healthy body are diet and exercise, and both affect physical functioning. “You are what you eat” ignores the fact that what we do with our bodies may be just as important as what we put in them. Fitzgerald cautions that one cannot simply eat whatever one wants. Candy for every meal will not provide the nutrients that the body needs. But one also doesn’t have to eat a perfect diet all the time to maximize health and longevity.
As the century-long Longevity Project, a study which followed long-lived individuals, has shown, there are numerous aspects of a person’s life equally or more important than diet that determine health and lifespan. Simply being ambitious, productive, and engaged while avoiding destructive behaviors like smoking, drinking to excess,abusing drugs, or driving too fast prolongs life and keeps us in good shape.
So yes, we are much, much more than what we eat.
45．What does the phrase“You are what you eat” advocate?
A．The nutrition. B．The exercises.
C．The intended diets. D．The risky behaviors.
46．Why did Fitzgerald disagree over the popular diet trends?
A．They didn’t help us to improve health.
B．They failed to provide enough nutrients.
C．They didn’t consider the physical functioning.
D．They failed to include other important factors.
47．What is NOT included in prolonging one’s life span?
A．Being active. B．Avoiding smoking.
C．Being in good shape. D．Drinking at a certain amount.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种新型的大自然疗法，帮助病人通过接近大自然，远离城市的喧嚣，减少压力，从而恢复身体健康。
1．词义猜测题。根据文章第二段“According to the International Association of Applied Psychology, lower stress, better moods, better brain activity and even happiness can all be linked to spending time in the great outdoors. (根据国际应用心理学协会的说法，更低的压力，更好的情绪，更好的大脑活动，甚至快乐都可以与花时间在户外有关。)”以及划线单词所在句子的主谓部分“That’s why(这是……的原因)”可知，前一句中所说的减轻压力与在户外有关系，与后一句有因果关系，因为自然疗法对身体有好处，因此很多项目才会建议把自然作为潜在的治疗方法。A.practice练习；B.provide提供；C.suggest建议；D.explore探讨。故选C项。
2．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Scientists estimate there are millions of trees on earth. I couldn’t believe that those trees can have a healing(治愈的)effect on people. (科学家估计地球上有数百万棵树。我不敢相信这些树能对人有治疗作用。)”引出话题。第二段“According to World Health Organization, 40 percent of American adults have at least two chronic(慢性病的)diseases, which include high blood pressure, mood disorders, heart problems and diabetes. According to the International Association of Applied Psychology, lower stress, better moods, better brain activity and even happiness can all be linked to spending time in the great outdoors. That’s why there are dozens of programs that prescribe nature as a potential form of healing. Nature is everywhere. (根据世界卫生组织的数据，40%的美国成年人患有至少两种慢性疾病，包括高血压、情绪障碍、心脏问题和糖尿病。根据国际应用心理学协会的说法，更低的压力，更好的情绪，更好的大脑活动，甚至快乐都可以与花时间在户外有关。这就是为什么有几十个项目把自然作为一种潜在的治疗形式。大自然无处不在。)”可知，第二段在第一段的基础上进一步举例论证说明大自然对身体疾病有帮助，因此第二段是提供证据，故选D项。
3．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The first one is called attention restoration theory. (第一个是注意力恢复理论。)”以及“The second major theory is called stress reduction theory. (第二个主要理论叫做压力减少理论。)”可知，大自然疗法主要采取的方式是减少压力，是人体基本认知恢复。A项“Refresh oneself.(清醒头脑)”符合题意，故选A项。
4．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“When I recommended nature for the first time to a patient of mine, he actually just nodded his head and said, “You’re absolutely right. When I spend more time in nature, I feel better.” And so, I think healthcare providers have to get over our own traditional mental views against this new sort of lifestyle, and prescribe something evidence-based, like nature time more often. (当我第一次向我的一位病人推荐大自然时，他实际上只是点了点头，说：‘你说得完全正确。当我花更多的时间在大自然中，我感觉更好。’因此，我认为医疗保健提供者必须克服我们对这种新型生活方式的传统观念，并开出一些基于证据的处方，比如更多地享受自然时光。)”可知，作者在推荐自然疗法的时候，病人并不是非常一开始就接受的，最开始只是“点点头”，而下一句还提到了要克服的问题，说明目前这种疗法大众接受度不高。故选B项。

10．细节理解题。根据第四段“One group of researchers is looking for possible connections between animal behavior and earthquakes. If they find a reliable connection, this could save hundreds of thousands of human lives. ICARUS aims to power an app that will give people hours to get to safety.

11．推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, not everyone is hopeful. Geologist Wendy Bohon said that ICARUS is doing some “cool things,” but she knows animal behavior is hard to pin down. “My cat could act crazy before an earthquake,” she says. “But it also acts crazy if somebody uses the can opener.”(然而，并非所有人都抱有希望。地质学家温迪·博汉说，ICARUS正在做一些“很酷的事情”，但她知道动物行为很难确定。“我的猫在地震前会表现得很疯狂，”她说。“但如果有人用开罐器，也会显得很疯狂。”)”可推断，温迪·博汉对ICARUS项目表示怀疑。故选B。

17．推理判断题。根据第三段中“Biologist De Smet assumed the painter had done a poor job.   But art historian Vergauwen had a different idea.   “No, this is one of the best painters ever from that era.   So if he painted it like that, that’s the way it must have looked like,” he explained.”（生物学家德·斯梅特认为画家画得不好。但艺术史学家韦高文却有不同的看法。“不，这是那个时代最好的画家之一。所以如果他把它画成那样，那它肯定就是这样的。”他解释道。）故可推知，他们对一幅古画有不同的看法激发了研究团队开始他们的研究。故选C项。
18．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Vergauwen reminds, “if you’re going to use, for example, Picasso to try and understand how a pear looked in the early 20th century, you might be misled.””（韦高文提醒说，“如果你试图用毕加索的作品来理解20世纪初梨子的样子，你可能会被误导。”）可知，在最后一段中韦高文传达了抽象画常常误导人的信息。故选B项。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了甲烷排放对地球的影响更大，而公众和政府较多关注的是二氧化碳排放量。其实，处理甲烷这种气体将会以相对较低的成本迅速产生巨大的效果。因此，减少甲烷排放应该受到关注。
23．主旨大意题。通读文章内容可知，文章首段内容“Human activity emits far less methane than carbon dioxide, but methane has a bigger impact on the earth.(人类活动排放的甲烷远比二氧化碳少，但甲烷对地球的影响更大。)”以及末尾段内容“Politicians and the public tend to worry about carbon-dioxide emissions but neglect the effects of cutting methane. (政客和公众往往担心二氧化碳的排放，却忽视了减少甲烷的影响。)”讲述文章的核心话题“甲烷的排放对地球的影响更大，但却被忽视”。因此可知，文章主要论述了“减少甲烷排放需被重视起来”这一论点。故选A项。
24．细节理解题。根据文章第三段内容“Carbon dioxide lingers in the atmosphere for centuries, making it hard to reduce its atmospheric concentrations. By contrast, methane has a half-life of roughly ten years, which means that it degrades quickly.(二氧化碳在大气中徘徊了几个世纪，因此很难降低其在大气中的浓度。相比之下，甲烷的半衰期大约为十年，这意味着它降解得很快。)”可知，二氧化碳在大气中存在的时间很长而甲烷降解得快。故选D项。
25．细节理解题。根据文章第二段内容“Chief among the reasons for the rise are the gassy output of livestock farming, rice cultivation and the fossil-fuel industry. Agriculture and energy each make up roughly one-third of annual methane emissions.(排放量上升的主要原因是畜牧业、水稻种植和化石燃料工业的气体排放量。农业和能源各占每年甲烷排放量的三分之一左右。)”可知，农业和能源各占每年甲烷排放量的三分之一，占比很高，是甲烷排放量升高的主要原因。故选B项。
26．推理判断题。根据文章末尾段内容“Governments are supposed to firm up their commitments to cut emissions under the Paris agreement. It should go further and include a specific target for methane.(各国政府应该坚定他们在巴黎协定下的减排承诺。它应该更进一步，包括一个针对甲烷的具体目标。)”可知，各国政府应继续坚定执行减排承诺，并应将减少甲烷排放完善出具体的目标。由此可推知，各国政府应采取更多措施减少甲烷排放。故选D项。

Before her big break, she was living in a landfill, rooting through garbage for her next meal.(《一条狗的回家之路》的明星Shelby的不幸故事可能会超过所有人。在获得重大突破之前，她住在垃圾填埋场，在垃圾中翻找她的下一顿饭)”引出了本文的话题明星Shelby。由此可推知，作者一开始就提到了一个演员在事业突破前的挣扎是为了介绍下面这只明星狗狗的相似但引人注目的经历。故选A项。
28．细节理解题。根据文章第三段内容“Then she met Baby Girl, and assessed her on personality and the ability to respond to simple commands.(然后她遇到了“Baby Girl”，并对她的性格和对简单命令的反应能力进行了评估)”以及第四段内容“Most of the film’s reviews have praised Shelby’s performance.(大多数影评都称赞了Shelby的表演)”可推知，Shelby的个性和能力是她获得这个角色的原因。故选D项。
29．词句猜测题。根据文章第五段内容“Shelby has come a long way from the dump. But Buhler said she saw Shelby recently had needed only a second to compare the movie star with the dog she found from piles of trash.(Shelby从垃圾场一路走来。但Buhler说，她最近看到Shelby只花了一秒钟的时间就把电影明星（Shelby）和她从垃圾堆里找到的那只狗（Shelby）做了比较)”可知，她的主人Buhler将成名前后的Shelby进行比较，只花了一秒钟，时间很短，说明无需对比，因为她还是那只狗，没有变。由此可推知，该句话应解释为狗的生活上戏剧性的变化并没有改变它的内在品质。故选B项。
30．主旨大意题。文章第一段内容“Shelby, the star of ‘A Dog’s Way Home,’ has a hard-luck tale that could top them all. Before her big break, she was living in a landfill, rooting through garbage for her next meal.(《狗狗回家的路》的明星Shelby的不幸故事可能会超过所有人。在获得重大突破之前，她住在垃圾填埋场，在垃圾中翻找她的下一顿饭。)”揭示了文章的主要内容，即，文章主要讲述了一只从垃圾场发现的狗Shelby从事演艺事业的历程。A项“From a Landfill Puppy to a Movie Star.(从垃圾堆里的小狗到电影明星)”贴合主题。故选A项。

37．推理判断题。根据最后一段“when callers met their rescuers, a lot of them would ask, “Wait, how old are you?”That was what they felt the most priceless moment. (当报火警的人们见到他们的救援人员时，很多人会问：“等等，你们多大了？”那是他们感到最无价的时刻)”可知，他们为自己的年轻感到骄傲。故选D。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过例证说明了“You are what you eat(你吃的食物决定你的健康)”该句流行话语的片面性。
45．推理判断题。根据第一段“The phrase narrowly assumes that our health is only determined by dieting, something that advocates of popular diets also want us to believe.(这句话狭隘地假设我们的健康只由饮食决定，这也是流行饮食的倡导者想让我们相信的。)”可推断，该句流行话宣传某种饮食，倡导预期的饮食。故选C。

48．主旨大意题。根据第一段““You are what you eat“ is one of the most common cliches in dieting and health, entering wide use with the publication of Victor Lindlahr’ s book in 1942. The phrase narrowly assumes that our health is only determined by dieting, something that advocates of popular diets also want us to believe.(“你吃的食物决定你的健康”是节食和健康方面最常见的陈词滥调之一，随着维克多·林德拉尔1942年的书的出版而广泛使用。这句话狭隘地假设我们的健康只由饮食决定，这也是流行饮食的倡导者想让我们相信的。)”及全文可知，文章主要说明“You are what you eat(你吃的食物决定你的健康)”该句流行话语的片面性，该句话没有包涵其他因素。所以“You are more than what you eat(你的健康不仅仅是由饮食决定的)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选B。
