23、s Chinese channel, her appeal knows no boundaries, with viewers around the world commenting favorably under her videos. Whats the secret behind Lis mass appeal? The answer seems obvious after watching her videos. Instead of preaching（说教）to her audiences, Li tells her story as it is, like, say, about

24、 growing beans, harvesting them, grinding them into powder and fermenting it to make bean sauce in the traditional Chinese way.

31、第一段“She attracted so many followers in just four years, since debuting on the platform with her first short video, titled Making a dress of grape skins, in 2017.

The answer seems obvious after watching her videos. Instead of preaching to her audiences, Li tells

33、 her story as it is, like, say, about growing beans, harvesting them, grinding them into powder and fermenting it to make bean sauce in the traditional Chinese way. That way she also ends up promoting traditional Chinese culture before a global audience.（李子柒如此受欢迎的秘诀是什么?看了她的视频后，答案似乎显而易见。她没有向观众说教，而是按照

34、中国传统的方式讲述自己的故事，比如种植豆子、收获豆子、将豆子磨成粉、发酵制成豆瓣酱。这样一来，她也将在全球观众面前推广中国传统文化。）可推知，她成功的秘诀是她的风格和内容。故选A。【7题详解】推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“However, what she promotes is often a legacy of the past China is no longer how she depicts it in her videos. Chinese farmers now harvest crops with machines, not with hands, and have long

35、 been cooking with natural gas, instead of using wood.（然而，她宣传的往往是过去中国的遗产，而不再是她在视频中描述的那样。中国农民现在用机器收割庄稼，而不是用手，而且长期以来一直用天然气做饭，而不是用木材。）”和最后一段“All the progress that technology can bring has reached China. It is time for more Chinese individuals and media to draw a fuller portrait of modern China before t

36、he world.（技术所能带来的所有进步都已经到达了中国。是时候让更多的中国个人和媒体向世界全面描绘现代中国了。）”可知，作者在最后一段呼吁我们向世界展示一个全面的现代化中国。故选B。CAfter almost an entire year of not going shopping and vacationing, you find the numbers reflected by your bank account meet your heart s desire.Now the most important question comes, what to do with the ear

37、nings? Should you fulfill dreams of the present, invest in preserving the future or perhaps keep saving it for a rainy day?Our elders always try to teach us the value of money and its moral weakness. One may be on a winning streak (连续成功) now, but it will not always be so. One will have days when the

38、re will be no sunshine but only rain, and their luck will hide behind those thick grey clouds. Save for those rainy days, they say. Do not spend too much, live within a budget, refrain from credit no matter how small and save for the future.Since the very first time we earn our own money from a summ

39、er job or earning our first salary, the lessons start. In fact, the pocket money that we receive when we are children begins the process of learning how to best manage one s money.People often think like this one day when I have enough money, I will travel the world. Then, once we do earn enough mon

40、ey, tomorrow s plans start shadowing our present ones. However, is it wise to keep living for that future? Will we still enjoy or even be able to backpack in our 50s?

Save for those rainy days, they say.（人将会度过那些没有阳光但是只有雨的日子，他们的幸运会隐藏在那些厚厚的灰云后面。他们说：要为了那些阴雨

45、的日子存钱。）”可知，长辈们教我们存钱是因为人生不总是阳光明媚和幸运的，这些好日子可能会有结束的时候，故选C项。【9题详解】短语猜测题。根据第三段“Do not spend too much, live within a budget, refrain from credit no matter how small and save for the future.（不要花太多，生活要有预算。无论多小都要refrain from贷款并且要为将来而存钱。）”可知，作者想告诫我们要为将来而存钱，生活要有预算，花钱需节制。不论贷款的金额有多小都要节制。所以推测refrain from意为“节制，控制”

46、，故选B项。【10题详解】推理判断题。根据第五段“People often think like this one day when I have enough money, I will travel the world. Then, once we do earn enough money, tomorrow s plans start shadowing our present ones. However, is it wise to keep living for that future? Will we still enjoy or even be able to backpack

47、in our 50s? How will we ever enjoy our present if we are constantly living for the future?（人们经常这样想：当某一天我有了足够的钱，我将周游世界。那么我们一旦赚够了钱，明天的计划开始影响我们当下的计划。然而为了明天而生存是明智的吗？我们仍然喜欢甚至有能力在50多岁的时候去背包旅行吗？如果我们一直为了明天而生活，我们如何享受当下呢？）”可知，作者认为应该珍惜当下，享受当下，而不是要让明天的计划来影响我们现在的生活。要在正确的时间享受生活。故选A项。【11题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段“and enjoy

48、your present but with a plan for the foreseeable future. Life is for the living, so live it sensibly.（享受当下，但也要为可预见的未来做计划。生活是为了生存，所以要活得明智些。）”可知，作者认为我们应该活在当下并且要活得明智，故选D项。DThe scientists who re-engineered the plastic-eating enzyme(酶) PETase have now created a new enzyme called “cocktail” , which can di

49、gest plastic up to six times faster.PETase breaks down PET back into its building blocks, creating an opportunity to recycle plastic and reduce plastic pollution. PET is the most common thermoplastic(热塑性塑料) used to make single-use drinks bottles, which takes hundreds of years to break down in the en

50、vironment, but PETase can shorten this time to days. The initial discovery set up the prospect of a revolution in plastic recycling, creating a potential low-energy solution to tackle plastic waste.Now, the same trans-Atlantic team have combined PETase and its “partner”, a second enzyme called MHETa

51、se, to generate much bigger improvements: simply mixing PETase with MHETase doubled the speed of PET breakdown, and engineering a connection between the two enzymes to create a “super-enzyme”, increased this activity by a further three times.The team was co-led by the scientists who engineered PETas

52、e, Professor John McGeehan and Dr Gregg Beckham. Professor McGeehan said: “Gregg and I were chatting about how PETase attacks the surface of the plastics and MHETase chops things up further, so it seemed natural to see if we could use them together. Our first experiments showed that they did work be

53、tter together, so we decided to physically link them. It took a great deal of work, but it was worth the effort we were delighted to see that our new enzyme is up to three times faster than the separate enzymes.”The original PETase enzyme discovery indicated the first hope that a solution to the glo

54、bal plastic pollution problem might be within grasp, though PETase alone is not yet fast enough to handle the tons of PET bottles. Combining it with a second enzyme, and finding together they work even faster, means another leap forward has been taken towards finding a solution to plastic waste. PET

55、ase and the new combined MHETase-PETase both work by digesting PET plastic. This allows for plastics to be made and reused endlessly, reducing our reliance on fossil(化石) resources.12. What can we learn about “cocktail” from the text?A. It doubles the breakdown of plastics.B. It takes hundreds of yea

56、rs to break down.C. It contributes to breaking down plastic quickly.D. It deals with the plastic waste three times faster.13. What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. A new study of PET.B.

58、eeding up our reliance on fossil resources.C. MHETase-PETase makes the world free from plastic pollution.D. Plastic-eating enzyme “cocktail” promises new hope for plastic waste.【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. D【解析】【分析】这是一篇科普说明文。文章介绍了一种用于加速塑料制品降解的新的酶cocktail的原理、研发过程和产生的效应。【12题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中的“which can dig

59、est plastic up to six times faster. (它能以快六倍的速度消化塑料。)”可知, cocktail这种新的酶可以使塑料的降解快六倍。因此，从文中我们能了解到 “cocktail” C 项 “It contributes to breaking down plastic quickly(它有助于快速分解塑料) ”符合题意。故选C项。【13题详解】主旨大意题。通读文章第二段尤其是“PET is the most common thermoplastic(热塑性塑料) used to make single-use drinks bottles, which take

60、s hundreds of years to break down in the environment, but PETase can shorten this time to days(PET是最常见的热塑性塑料，用于制造一次性饮料瓶，在环境中分解需要几百年的时间，但PETase可以将这个时间缩短到几天)”可知，主要介绍了科学家研究的第一种酶PETase的作用：即快速降解PET。因此，第二段主要讲解的是 D项“The functions of PETase(PETase的作用)”符合题意。故选D项。【14题详解】词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“Our first experiments sho

61、wed that they did work better together, so we decided to physically link them(我们的第一个实验表明，他们确实在一起更有作用，所以我们决定从根本上连接他们)”可知，科学家们想结合PETase和 MHETase，使其产生更好的效果，划线词it所在句子的意思是“这需要大量的工作，但值得付出努力”，it 指的是PETase和MHETas的结合工作。因此，本文第四段划线词 it 指的是 B 项“Combining PETase and MHETase.(结合PETase和MHETase)”符合题意。故选B项。【15题详解】推理

62、判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“The scientists who re-engineered the plastic-eating enzyme(酶) PETase have now created a new enzyme called “cocktail” , which can digest plastic up to six times faster(科学家们重新设计了“吃”塑料的酶PETase，现在他们创造了一种新的酶，叫做“cocktail”，它能以快六倍的速度消化塑料)”可知，本文是一篇科普说明文，介绍了科学家们通过研究，把两种用于降解塑料的酶结合，产生一种新的酶cockta

63、il，它会更快地分解塑料废物，大大降低其对环境的污染。因此，我们从文中推断出D项“Plastic-eating enzyme “cocktail” promises new hope for plastic waste.(“吃”塑料的酶“cocktail”为塑料垃圾带来了新的希望)”，故选D项。第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。A grateful heart is a satisfied heart.
