When I first heard abut Summit Learning, I admitted I was nt a bit happy and excited at all. I thught it wuld require interactins with thers. But later, I was astnished when I gt t experience it firsthand.
Recently, we did a petry prject, and ne f the activities was a peer (同龄人) review. I wuld never have taken part if it was up t me, as I preferred t wrk independently.

Cultivated meat, als knwn as lab-grwn meat, has been cleared fr sale in the US.Actually，Lab-grwn meat is made by feeding a mix f nutrients t animal cells in steel tanks in labs. The idea is t create an alternative t agriculturally raised meat. And unlike ther meat substitutes which are made frm plant prteins and ther ingredients, lab-grwn meat is real meat.
Upside Fds and Gd Meat, tw cmpanies that make “cultivated chicken”, said that they have gtten apprval frm the US Department f Agriculture (USDA) t start prducing their cell-based prteins. Gd Meat said that prductin is starting immediately. Cultivated meat is grwn in a giant vat (缸), much like what yu’d find at a beer factry.
Last week bth cmpanies revealed that the USDA apprved labels fr their prducts. In March, Gd Meat received a“n questins”letter frm the FDA, cnfirming the prduct’s safety fr sale in the US. Upside Fds als received ne in Nvember. Bth the USDA and the FDA are verseeing the grwing cultivated meat market. CEO f Gd Meat, Jsh Tetrick, described the apprval as a majr milestne fr the cmpany, the industry, and the fd system. Upside funder Uma Valeti called the apprval “a giant step frward twards a mre sustainable future”.
Gd Meat, which has been selling its prducts in Singapre, advertises its prduct as “meat withut slaughter (屠宰)”, a mre humane apprach t eating meat. Supprters hpe that cultivated meat will help fight climate change by reducing the need fr traditinal animal agriculture, which emits greenhuse gases. The cmpany previusly annunced a partnership with chef Jsé Andrés t intrduce the prduct t a Washingtn DC restaurant, althugh the launch time remains uncertain. As prductin increases, Gd Meat may explre cperatin with ther restaurants r supermarkets.
Upside is planning t intrduce its prduct at Bar Crenn, a San Francisc restaurant, but did nt share a launch date yet. Selling at Bar Crenn shuld help Upside learn mre abut hw chefs and diners feel abut the prduct. Eventually, the cmpany plans t wrk with ther restaurants and make its prducts available in supermarkets. Fr nw, it is hlding a cntest t allw curius custmers t be amng the first t try the prduct.
8. What d Upside Fds and Gd Meat have in cmmn?
A. Bth have partnerships with internatinal chefs.
B. Bth are invlved in prducing lab-grwn meat.
C. Bth declared a launch date f their cultivated meat.
D. Bth received FDA apprval fr wrldwide distributin.
9. What is the ptential benefit f cultivated meat?
A. Higher safety fr eating.
B. Lwer csts fr restaurants.
C. Imprvements in traditinal animal agriculture.
D Psitive impacts n climate change.
10. What can be inferred frm the last paragraph?
A. Diners have access t free prducts frm Upside.
B. Curius custmers will becme the main frce f buying.
C. Upside will evaluate the respnses f chefs and diners t its prduct.
D. Upside will cnduct a survey amng diners abut their paying ability.
11. What is the text mainly abut?

D yu ever hear a friend speak n a tpic with the belief that “everyne”thinks the same way? D yu ften find yurself surrunded in a scial media feed that is cmpletely tailred t yu and yur beliefs, reading alng withut the immediate realizatin?
A scial media ech chamber (回声壁) is when ne experiences a tailred media experience that leave ut ppsing viewpints and differing vices. Scial media sites like Facebk, Twitter, and YuTube cnnect grups f like-minded users tgether based n shared cntent preferences. As a result, peple see and take in infrmatin accrding t ur preexisting beliefs and pinins. Scial media cmpanies therefre rely n algrithms (算法) t assess ur interests and fld us with infrmatin that will keep ur attentin. The algrithms fcus n what we “like”, and “share” t keep feeding cntent that makes us cmfrtable.
In rder t truly get access t all infrmatin and t evaluate ur media, we must give urselves the pprtunity t step ut f ur cmfrt zne. While this becmes increasingly challenging, there are things we can d. The first step is t beef up yur media cnsumptin surces. Adding in a few media surces with differing pinins will allw yu t at least understand what peple are saying utside f yur ech chamber. Next, read each thing yu see with a critical eye. Make sure that each thing yu accept as truth is truly fact. Lastly, attempt t search ut reliable new surces that are knwn fr trying their best t leave ut false infrmatin. By accepting that ur media buffet n scial media is a prduct f ur present beliefs and pinins, we can wrk t make sure we are nt simply stuck in a scial media ech chamber.
12. What is a result f the scial media ech chamber?
A. Peple cntact like-minded nline users effectively.
B. Peple keep reading fr mre differing viewpints.
C. Peple rely n algrithms t evaluate their interests.
D. Peple nly get infrmatin cnfirming their beliefs.
13. What des “beef up”underlined in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Track.B. Imprve.
C. Prvide.D. Identify.
14. Which f the fllwing can help us get ut f the ech chamber?
A. Criticizing fake news n scial media.
B. Expsing urselves t ppsing vices.
C. Researching primary surces f infrmatin.
D. Accepting ur present beliefs and pinins.
15. What is the purpse f the text?
A. T call n peple t use algrithms frequently.
B. T ask peple nt t take in infrmatin blindly.
C. T prmte the use f varius scial media sites.
D. T infrm peple f new technlgy develpments.

When I first heard abut Summit Learning, I admitted I was nt a bit happy and excited at all. I thught it wuld require interactins with thers. But later, I was astnished when I gt t experience it firsthand.

Cultivated meat, als knwn as lab-grwn meat, has been cleared fr sale in the US.Actually，Lab-grwn meat is made by feeding a mix f nutrients t animal cells in steel tanks in labs. The idea is t create an alternative t agriculturally raised meat. And unlike ther meat substitutes which are made frm plant prteins and ther ingredients, lab-grwn meat is real meat.
Upside Fds and Gd Meat, tw cmpanies that make “cultivated chicken”, said that they have gtten apprval frm the US Department f Agriculture (USDA) t start prducing their cell-based prteins. Gd Meat said that prductin is starting immediately. Cultivated meat is grwn in a giant vat (缸), much like what yu’d find at a beer factry.
Last week bth cmpanies revealed that the USDA apprved labels fr their prducts. In March, Gd Meat received a“n questins”letter frm the FDA, cnfirming the prduct’s safety fr sale in the US. Upside Fds als received ne in Nvember. Bth the USDA and the FDA are verseeing the grwing cultivated meat market. CEO f Gd Meat, Jsh Tetrick, described the apprval as a majr milestne fr the cmpany, the industry, and the fd system. Upside funder Uma Valeti called the apprval “a giant step frward twards a mre sustainable future”.
Gd Meat, which has been selling its prducts in Singapre, advertises its prduct as “meat withut slaughter (屠宰)”, a mre humane apprach t eating meat. Supprters hpe that cultivated meat will help fight climate change by reducing the need fr traditinal animal agriculture, which emits greenhuse gases. The cmpany previusly annunced a partnership with chef Jsé Andrés t intrduce the prduct t a Washingtn DC restaurant, althugh the launch time remains uncertain. As prductin increases, Gd Meat may explre cperatin with ther restaurants r supermarkets.
Upside is planning t intrduce its prduct at Bar Crenn, a San Francisc restaurant, but did nt share a launch date yet. Selling at Bar Crenn shuld help Upside learn mre abut hw chefs and diners feel abut the prduct. Eventually, the cmpany plans t wrk with ther restaurants and make its prducts available in supermarkets. Fr nw, it is hlding a cntest t allw curius custmers t be amng the first t try the prduct.

As a result, peple see and take in infrmatin accrding t ur preexisting beliefs and pinins.

By accepting that ur media buffet n scial media is a prduct f ur present beliefs and pinins, we can wrk t make sure we are nt simply stuck in a scial media ech chamber.

A. Peple cntact like-minded nline users effectively.
B. Peple keep reading fr mre differing viewpints.
C. Peple rely n algrithms t evaluate their interests.
