A
The Best Caves In The World
Hang Son Doong, Vietnam
Natural caves don't come much larger than Hang Son Doong, close to the border between Laos and Vietnam. This
cave possesses the largest cross section of any known cave on the planet, a vast area that is difficult to describe.
Supposedly, a Boeing 747 could fly through without damaging its wings, but that doesn’t really do justice to the vastness
of Hang Son Doong. The stalactites(钟乳石) here are pretty massive too, with some reaching up to 8 0metres.
Waitomo Caves, New Zealand
Glow worms(萤火虫) are there, as far as the eye can see. Okay, not literally, but the Waitomo Cave system on
New Zealand's North Island is best-known for the fluorescent fauna that light up the walls, giving it the not-particularly-
creative but completely acceptable “Glowworm Caves” nickname. They are more accessible than other caves on this
lit, with rafting and adventure tours available to those looking for something a little more thrilling.
Mammoth Cave, the USA
If you have certain expectations from somewhere called “Mammoth Cave”, that is entirely understandable.
Mammoth Cave in Kentucky is the world's longest known cave system, an incredible 420 miles of underground wonder.
That's twice as long as the next longest, by the way, although it isn't unusual for the USA to go all out on such things.
Reed Flute(芦笛) Cave, China
Named after the reeds that grow outside, which are used to make flutes, obviously, the Reed Flute Cave's walls a
recovered with inscriptions from centuries gone by-if evidence was needed that people have been paying attention to
this place for along old time. The inside part of the cave is also lit up by multicoloured lights, giving it a real otherworldy
theme that ads weight to the nickname.
21. What is special about Hang Son Doong?
A. It was once a base of a factory.
B. It is the deepest cave in the world.
C. It has the highest stalactites in the world.
D. I towns the largest cross-section in the world.
22. Which of the following can be much easier to enter?
A. Hang Son Doong. B. Waitomo Caves.
C. Mammoth Cave. D. Reed Flute Cave.
23. Which country probably has the on gest cave system in the word?
A. Vietnam. B. New Zealand. C. The USA. D. China.
B
For Vishwanath Mallabadi from Bangalore, India, there is no such thing as a useless object or “waste”. Give him
anything abandoned metal or plastic items, old devices, dysfunctional printed circuit boards-and he’ll create art out of
it.
Vishwanath’s passion is particularly relevant in the current age, where India generates more e-waste than it can
recycle. From 2019 to 2020, the country generated a total of more than 1 million tonnes of e-waste. Of this, only 22.7
percent was collected, taken apart and recycled. The eco-artist has upcycled and tans formed nearly 200 kg of e-waste
into usable products and proposes eco-art as a means to deal with waste management.
Vishwanath’s father, DM Shambhu, was a famous sculptor and painter, but he wanted his son to choose medicine
and become a doctor. However, Vishwanath, who was interested in upcycling second-hand objects right from childhood,
decided to pursue a BFA in Applied Art, He later went on to work in a company as a high-level administrator and retired
two years ago. “In my free tie and during the weekends, I used to conduct experiments in e waste and try to develop
something unique,” here called.
So far, the eco-artist has created more than 500 objects. These include a six-foot tall sculpture made from up cycled
computer keyboard keys, and a painting inspired by Vincent Van Gogh's The Starry Night, using up cycled resistors(电
阻器) on wood. Among his other artworks area 4238 inch figure statue created from up cycled keyboard keys on a
sun board finished with plastics, a deer made of colorful used wires, plants and flowers from computer parts, and eco
jewellery from up cycled digital wristwatch parts.
“The work involves selecting the e-waste objects-the texture, shape, and colour etc, and visualising and
conceptualising the final product. It might take weeks and months for sculptures. However, sustainable initiatives and
up cycle dart are nowadays in demand in multinational companies opting for a sustainable culture,” he said.
24. What does the author try to convey in paragraph 2?
A. The seriousness of e-waste in India.
B. Vishwanath's passion for environment protection.
C. The achievements of waste management in India.
D. Vishwanath's attitude towards dealing with e-waste.
25. What did Vishwanath work as before retiring?
A. A passionate eco-artist. B. A private doctor.
C. A famous sculptor. D. A senior manager.
26. Which of the artworks were made of the same materials?
A. The deer and the plants.
B. The sculpture and the figure statue.
C. The painting and the flowers.
D. The deer and the eco jewellery.
27. What does Vishwanath think of his working one co art?
A. Exciting but unprofitable. B. Creative but useless.
C. Demanding but worthwhile. D. Efficient but costly.
Most health experts would agree
C
Most health experts would agree that eating meat—especially red meat—in large quantities isn’t good for us, or
the planet. Studies point to an increased risk of heart disease and cancer correlating to our meat-heavy diets. Meanwhile,
manufacturers are busy producing increasingly tasty and more meat-like products that math the real things—making the
switch from eating animals seem like a no-brainer. But are these fake meat products any healthier for us?
Jinan Banna, a dietitian and nutrition professor at the University of Hawaii says that some fake meat products can
be considered “ultra-processed” foods. “That means they go through multiple processes and have a lot of added
ingredients(配料),” she said. “An alternative burger, for example, might have quite a bit of sodium(钠), as well as
additives. Some of these additives are on the market for a while before the scientific community determines them to be
harmful, Banna added. “Anytime you see a long list of ingredients, including ‘natural flavors’, take it as a warning sign.
In other words, eschew products with lengthy ingredient lists,” said Sofia Popov, a microbiome scientist in Copenhagen.
“Who knows what's actually in it?”
Perhaps convenience is the best argument for buying an alternative meat product you can simply cook straight out
of the box, but some health experts suggest other plant-based healthful options can be simple, too. For example, on a
busy day, Banna said she was able to throw together a tempeh (a traditional soya product) dish which she put in a little
oil, vinegar and other seasonings. “We definitely obtain nutrients from animal-based foodiron and zinc and other
minerals as well. But it also contains fat and cholesterol, so it's good to control our intake,” said Banna. “Vegetarian
substitutes can be very tasty so we shouldn't shy away from them.”
28. What is the common belief on consuming red meat?
A. It is beneficial to our planet.
B. It can stimulate the economy.
C. It should be served with vegetables.
D. It may make us suffer from heart disease.
29. What does the underlined word “eschew” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Avoid. B. Provide. C. Inspect. D. Purchase.
30. What does Banna advise people to do?
A. Take in more minerals. B. Turn to convenient food instead.
C. Seek for plant-based meals. D. Choose some animal-based substitutes.
31. What can be the best tile for the text?
A. Why Is Plant-based Meat Dying?
B. Are Fake Meat Products Good For You?
C. Fake Meat: Food's Future Or A Fashion?
D. What Happened To The Plant-based Meat?
D
Research has found that using wood for construction instead of concrete and steel can reduce emission. But Tim
Searchinger at Princeton University says many of these studies are based on the false foundation that harvesting wood
is carbon neutral (碳中和), “Only a small percentage of the wood gets into a timber (木料) product, and a part of that
gets into a timber product that can replace concrete and steel in a building,” he says. Efficiencies vary in different
countries, but large amounts of a harvested tree are left to be divided into parts, use in short-lived products like paper
or burned for energy, all of which generate emissions.
In a report for the World Resources Institute. Searchinger and his colleagues have modelled how using more wood
for construction would affect emissions between 2010 and 2050, accounting for the emissions from harvesting the wood.
They considered various types of forests and parts of wood going towards construction. They also factored in the
emissions savings from replacing concrete and steel
Under some circumstances, the researchers found significant emissions reductions. But each case required what
they considered an unrealistically high portion of the wood going towards construction, as well as rapid growth only
seen in warmer places, like Brazil. In general, they found a large increase in global demand for wood would probably
lead to rising emissions for decades. Accounting for emissions in this way, the researchers reported in a related paper
that increasing forest harvests between 2010 and 2050 would add emissions equal to roughly 10 percent of total annual
emissions.
Ali Amiri at Aalto University in Finland says the report's conclusions about emissions on rising demand are
probably correct, but the story is different for wood we already harvest “Boosting the efficiency of current harvests and
using more wood for longer-lived purposes than paper would cut emissions,” he says “We cannot just say we should
stop using wood.”
32. What is wrong with previous researches according to Searching er?
A. They got wrong statistics.
B. They used an incorrect concept
C. They included too many factors.
D. They were applied in limited countries.
33. What dl be s paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. The process of the new research.
B. the background of the new study.
C. The challenge of the new research.
D. The achievements of the new study.
34. When will the emissions drop off greatly according to the new study?
A. When wood grows slowly.
B. When wood is largely used to make paper.
C. When wood is largely used in construction in countries like Brazil.
D. When wood is largely harvested in countries like Brazil.
35. What is Ali Amiri’s attitude toward the new result?
A. Favorable. B. Doubtful. C. Critical. D. Objective.

For most, the first thing that likely comes to mind when thinking about vitamin C is either an image of orange fruits
or its ability to keep your immune system healthy. 36 Here are the primary benefits of vitamin C when applied
topically to the skin.
It protects skin cells from environmental damage. Vitamin C's main function in skin is that of a powerful
antioxidant, protecting us from cell damage caused by free radicals(自由基). “ 37 ,”Dr. Mack explains, and
they are highly reactive. Vitamin C destroys these free radicals by donating electrons, preventing them from damaging
skin.
38 Vitamin C is also one of the gold standards for evening skin tone and boosting radiance. “Vitamin C
is a well-known skin brightener, preventing melanin production and eventually fading dark spots, resulting in a better
skin tone,” Dr. Mack explains.
It firms skin and promotes collagen(胶原蛋白) production, Our skin is made of collagen and elastin, which are
proteins that give it structure and flexibility. 39 “Daily application of vitamin C helps to maintain the
completeness of the collagen that we have，prevents rapid breakdown with age and promotes collagen production,”
Dr. Mack says.
It works with other antioxidants for enhancing UV(紫外线) protection. 40 . A study in the Journal of
Investigative Dermatology showed that the combination of vitamin C and E not only offered improved stability of
vitamins C and E, but also improved skin's UV protection.
A. It brightens skin
B. It help slower the risk of heart disease and depression
C. Vitamin C works cooperatively with vitamin E to reduce UV damage in skin
D. Free radicals are produced by the body when exposed to radiation in sunlight.
E. But this popular vitamin has several benefits for skin when applied topically, too
F. Free radicals are believed to be related to heart disease, cancer and the ageing process
G. As we age, the production of these proteins decreases and our skin looks and feels less firm

The expedition this time 57 (focus) on the ecosystem changes against the rapid changes in the Arctic with
four major tasks, 58 include the investigation of the ecological environment of the Pacific sector in the central
Arctic Ocean, the comprehensive survey of sea ice and the geology and geophysics of the Gakkel Ridge(山脊), as well
as research on circulation 59 sea ice.
It is the second time that a survey 60 (conduct) on the Gakkel Ridge, amid-ocean ridge 61 (stretch)
about 1, 800 kilometers in the Arctic. “The Gakkel Ridge, a new volcanic ridge, is the Earth's s lowest-spreading mid-
ocean ridge, which is vital in studying the 62 (expand) of global plates,” said Wang Jinhui, leader of the
scientific expedition team.
A survey of aerosols(气溶胶) in the Arctic is also 63 the way. “The special conditions in the area, such as
the change of sea ice cover and density and the change of local species, are the influencing factors that may 64
(significant) affect the generation and emission of aerosols,” said Le, a member of the scientific expedition team.
“Polar scientific research is an 65 (importance) field for mankind to understand the mysteries of nature
and explore new spaces for development,” said Wang.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Although it's been almost two years now, I can still remember that day as if it were yesterday. We were all glued
in front of the television, when Dad came rushing into the house after work to tell us that he had just bought a new boat.
He promised us that the following week he'd take us all on a fishing trip. We were all very excited and happy at the
prospect of it.
The much-awaited day finally came. After we packed everything on to the boat, Dad started the engine and steered
it slowly out of the harbour. We headed out until we were a good distance from the shore. Then, when we found what
seemed like a good spot for fishing, Dad stopped the engine.
The sky was crystal clear and the sea was as calm as a sheet of glass. We spent a good couple of hours bathing in
the sun, fishing rods in hands, without a care in the world. It was fantastic just being there, staring out at the beautiful
blue sea. We caught a good number of fish.
We must have lost track of time, chatting and laughing, because the next thing I remembered was being put into a
darkness which was so thick that one could almost cut it with a knife. Looking around, it was all pitch-black. Then, out
of nowhere, a big wave came crushing into the boat, nearly overturning us all overboard. If that wasn't bad enough, we
could hear the rumbling(隆隆声) of thunder in the distance—it was unbelievable how the weather had changed so
quickly before our very own eyes. The storm was rolling upon us fast and it wasn't long before the rain started to
comedown in showers. The rain was so dense and heavy that we could barely breathe.

1.续写词数应为 150 左右；

Dad immediately rushed to start the engine but it would not start.
