But, did you know that many bugs are also edible and are filled with protein?‎ Aletheia Price knows this—and a lot more—about bugs. She also thinks you should try eating some. If you visit the website www.eatbug.com, you will find all kinds of information about edible insects. Most of it was written by Aletheia Price when she was fifteen years old. Aletheia started eating bugs at the age of thirteen. Before long, she found that she really enjoyed some of them. She also became interested in finding out more about which kinds of ‎ bugs could be eaten and how to cook them.‎ According to Aletheia, there are at least 1,462 kinds of edible insects. (Doesn’t that make you wonder who tried all of them and decided they were edible?) Some of her favorite dishes include mealworm chocolate chip cookies, ant tacos(玉米卷), and chocolate-covered crickets(蟋蟀). On her website she has recipes for insect entrees(开胃菜) and some helpful tips. For example, when preparing crickets, it is best to remove their legs before cooking, for the legs tend to get stuck in your teeth. She also offers information for anyone who wants to raise bugs for food.‎ Aletheia realizes that eating bugs is not for everyone. But, if you think about it, you have to admit that eating bugs might be a good idea. There are billions and billions of bugs in this world. If we could get used to eating them, we would have plenty of food for everyone.‎ ‎21. When Aletheia was 13, she _________.‎ A. wrote articles about bugs B. ate bugs for the first time C. taught people how to cook bugs D. studied nutritional value of bugs ‎22. On Aletheia’s website, you can find information on ________.‎ A. names of restaurants to serve bugs B. how to keep bugs as pets C. tips on cooking and eating bugs D. where to catch bugs for food ‎23. In Aletheia’s opinion, eating bugs can help ________.‎ A. keep the balance of nature B. solve the food supply problem C. make your life more interesting D. make the old and the young stronger ‎【答案】21. B 22. C 23. B B Liana nervously bit her nails while she waited for the exam to arrive. She looked around the room; hundreds of other law students sat in rows staring anxiously at the tables in front of them. Just as she began to take a deep breath to calm her anxiety, an exam booklet(册子) was placed in front of her. This was the moment she had been expecting ever since she began law school three years ago. She picked up her pencil, and opened to the first page of the bar exam, a test for all students wanting to become licensed lawyers.‎ Liana never thought she would want to become a lawyer. Her parents were both artists. Law was something she had not been exposed to as a child. But art made for a tumultuous career—both of her parents had struggled to find ‎ jobs and worked round the clock when they were young. Even though they finally seemed successful and happy, Liana wanted something different.‎ She was the anchor on her high school debate team, and consistently impressed her competitors with her analytical thinking. “Never argue with Ms. Lakes,” her teachers would say. So she chose to major in law. In her mind, she pictured herself in a New York City courtroom(法庭) dressed in an expensive suit, with papers in her hand, waving at the jury(陪审团) in a speech on human rights.‎ But now, with the bar exam sitting in front of her, she started to worry. “What if I don’t pass? Did I study enough?” Her thoughts raced through her mind. On the first page were seven paragraphs detailing a law situation followed by a series of questions. Liana read through the paragraphs, and quickly scribbled down an explanation of the first question before moving onto the next question. The next few hours went like this as the clock ticked closer and closer to the lunch hour.‎ At 12:00 p.m. sharp, a buzzer(蜂鸣器) sounded and everyone was told to put down their pencils and walked out for an hour-long lunch break. At lunch, Liana met her friend, Kevin.‎ ‎“How did it go?” she asked. “To be honest, I’ve no idea. I just kept writing.” Kevin said. Liana laughed and said she felt the same way.‎ After lunch, the two exchanged words of encouragement. They strolled back into the exam center a bit more refreshed. Liana finished the second half of the exam that day with a better feeling than what she started with in the morning.‎ ‎24. What do we know about the bar exam Liana is taking?‎ A. It is for someone to be a qualified lawyer.‎ B. It has many law situations to describe.‎ C. It lasts for hours without stopping.‎ D. It takes place every three years.‎ ‎25. “A tumultuous career” in Paragraph 2 probably is a career that ________.‎ A. has lots of chances of success B. needs to work in different cities C. is full of competition and hard work D. demands much professional knowledge ‎26. Liana wanted to be a lawyer because ________.‎ A. she was good at arguing and debating B. she wanted to follow her friend’s advice C. she believed it would bring her a rich and happy life D. she aimed to devote herself to protecting human rights ‎27. At the end of the exam, Liana felt more ________.‎ A. nervous B. curious C. energetic D. confident ‎28. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?‎ A. The Wild Dream B. A True Lawyer C. The Big Test D. A Hard Choice ‎【答案】24. A 25. C 26. A 27. D 28. C C Each year, hundreds of thousands of wild animals around the world are killed in trophy hunting—the organized shooting of animals for pleasure. The hunters then bring parts of the animal home with them as their “trophy” to remember the hunting.‎ Trophy hunters pay big money to kill animals. Some of the money goes to helping wildlife protection. Trophy hunting also attracts business, which encourages people to preserve land and breed(饲养) animals that would otherwise be endangered. Cathy Dean, head of the Save the Rhino Charity, says that at the start of the 1900s there were only 50–100 southern white rhinos. Now, there are around 18,000. This is partly because some of them were raised specially for trophy hunting.‎ But things don’t usually go on one way. According to WWF, elephant populations have fallen from 1.3 million to just over 400,000 since the 1980s. Over the same period, hunters from around the world have taken home more than 100,000 African elephant trophies. Trophy hunting is not illegal(非法的) but unfair on the animals. In 2015, Cecil the lion was shot by a US trophy hunter. Cecil was a beloved lion in Zimbabwe, Africa. Cecil was lured with bait(诱饵), shot with an arrow and struggled in blood for more than ten hours before his hunters tracked and finished killing him. His son, Xanda, met a similar fate two years later.‎ Cecil’s death caused worldwide outrage and protests(反抗) against trophy hunting. Countries including Australia, France and the Netherlands banned(禁止) the import of lion trophies—they stop hunters from being allowed to bring home parts of the animal they kill. They believe that people will stop trophy hunting because the activity might lose its attraction if hunters can’t bring their trophies home.‎ The UK Government said that it would consider a ban on trophy-hunting imports by 2017, but no action had been taken. In April 2019, a letter by protesters against trophy hunting was sent to the UK government asking to ban trophy-hunting imports. On 7 May, the official in charge of the environment, Michael Gove, said that the UK would ‎ not ban the imports for the time being. This left the world in a state of a shock. Hopefully the UK will place a ban on trophy-hunting imports, which would be an important message and inspire others to treat animals better. We’re waiting for the day to come.‎ ‎29. A trophy hunter usually ________.‎ A. kills wild animals for food B. learns about wildlife in the hunting C. gives a large amount of money to protect wildlife D. takes part of the animal home in memory of the hunting ‎30. Why does the writer mention Cecil’s story in Paragraph 3?‎ A. To prove trophy hunting makes some animal species endangered.‎ B. To show how animals suffered painfully in trophy hunting.‎ C. To attach importance to protecting wild lions in Africa.‎ D. To persuade trophy hunters to hunt in a legal way.‎ ‎31. Why did some countries ban the import of lion trophies?‎ ‎32. What is the writer’s attitude towards the UK’s decision on the ban of trophy-hunting imports?‎ ‎【答案】29. D 30. B ‎ ‎31. To make people give up trophy hunting. ‎ ‎32. The writer might feel shocked /disappointed at/unsatisfied with the UK’s decision.‎ D When was the last time you sat on a park bench(凳子)? Did you stay for long? A new kind of park benches will limit the amount of time you can sit there. If you don’t get up in time, it could be very painful: there are many sharp spikes (钉子) on the part that you sit on!‎ Visitors who want a rest on the bench need to put a coin in a machine next to it. Once the money was accepted, the spikes disappear into the bench. Then visitors can sit down comfortably, but only for half an hour. When the time’s up, the spikes slowly start moving up again. It doesn’t hurt at first, but after a minute, they start coming up even more quickly. They aren’t long enough to cause serious hurt, but they do cause pain, as tests have shown. But why have they been installed (安装)?‎ ‎“Our public park is very popular in summer,” a spokesperson for the park explained. “But with all the thousands of people who visit the park, there aren’t enough benches for everyone. We want to make sure that the benches are shared by more visitors, and to stop people taking a bench and staying there all day. Installing spikes seems to be the fairest way of stopping people doing this.”‎ ‎33. How is the new kind of park bench different from other benches?‎ ‎34. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?‎ ‎35. Why are the new benches installed?‎ ‎36. The passage says, “Installing spikes seems to be the fairest way of stopping people doing this.” Do you agree with this? Please state your reasons.‎ ‎【答案】33. It can limit the amount of time people sit on it (with sharp spikes). / If you don’t get up from it in limited time, it could make you painful./There are many sharp spikes on it to limit the amount of time people sit on it. ‎ ‎34. It’s mainly about how the new kind of benches work ‎ ‎35. They’re installed to solve the problem that some people take a bench too long and others can’t share it. ‎ ‎36. Yes. If people are asked to pay for benches, they will not take it too long when they don’t really need it. Thus, every visitor will have the chance to share it. /No. Benches in parks should be free to visitors. The park can build more benches to solve its problem instead of limiting the time when visitors have a rest on benches.‎ 四、短文填空（共10小题；每小题1分, 共10分）‎ 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写一个适当的单词，在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。‎ No one knows exactly ___37___ the earth began.
