These products are popular with consumers who cannot drink cows' milk for health reasons, as well as with those concerned about animal welfare and environmental sustainability. While the dairy-free options work well with cereal(谷类) or in coffee, they fail miserably when it comes to making milk-based products like cheese or yogurt. However, these shortcomings may soon be a thing of the past, thanks to a new company in California, which has figured out how to create animal-free milk in a laboratory!‎ ‎ Perumal Gandhi and Ryan Pandya founded the company in 2014 after becoming increasingly annoyed with the lack of cows' milk-free alternatives, particularly for cheese. For Gandhi, who stopped consuming animal products five years earlier due to environmental and animal welfare concerns, the motivation to create a better alternative stemmed from his love of cheesy pizza. Pandya was spurred(鞭策) into taking action after being forced to eat some “really bad” dairy-free cream cheese on his sandwich.‎ ‎ The two MIT biomedical engineering scientists decided to join forces to create a more realistic alternative to dairy-based products. In their university lab, the pair spent nine months first isolating cow DNA and then inserting it into yeast. This genetic modification enabled the yeast(酵母) to produce the necessary milk proteins(蛋白质). The final step of the process involved mixing the proteins with some plant nutrients and fats.‎ ‎ The dairy-free milk not only tastes like the real thing but is also healthier, has a longer shelf life and, most important of all, is Earth-friendly. According to the company's website, when compared to conventional milk production, their process uses 65% less energy, creates 84% less greenhouse gas emissions and requires 91% less land and 98% less water! Best of all, since it contains real milk proteins, the product behaves like the cow-producing version, which means vegetarian consumers will no longer have to deal with soggy cheese on their sandwiches and pizzas.‎ ‎ The company plans to bring their creation to the market later this year and their first product will most likely be cheese since there are already numerous good cows' milk alternatives available to consumers.‎ ‎58. The underlined word “those” in Paragraph 1 refers to ________.‎ ‎ A. alternatives B. people C. products D. reasons　‎ ‎59. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?‎ ‎ A. The dairy－free milk cannot be stored for a long time.‎ ‎ B. The new products will taste better than dairy－based ones.‎ ‎ C. Cow farming causes considerable environmental damage.‎ ‎ D. The dairy－free milk will be more expensive than cows' milk.　‎ ‎60. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?‎ ‎ A. Healthier Cheese B. New Milk Saves Planet ‎ C. Fresher Milk, Better Future D. Making Milk Without Cows C Edgar Alan Poe was and is an abnormal figure among the major American writers of his period. It seems to have been true of Poe that no one could look at him without ‎ seeing more than they would wish.‎ Poe published The Narrative(故事，叙述) of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket in 1838,his only novel. Its importance is suggested by the fact that his major work comes after it. The Narrative’s shortcomings are sometimes considered to be the fact that it was written for money, as it surely was, and as almost everything else Poe wrote was also. This is not exceptional among writers anywhere, though in the case of Poe it is often treated as if his having done so were disgraceful. Be that as it may, the Narrative makes its way to a peak as strange and powerful as anything to be found in his greatest tales.‎ The word that reoccurs most importantly in Poe's fictions is horror. His stories are often shaped to bring the narrator and the reader to a place where the use of the word is reasonable, where the word and the experience it arouses are explored or by implication defined. Perhaps it is because Poe's tales test the limits of mental health and good manners that he is both popular and criticized.‎ The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym has the grand scale of the nineteenth-century voyage of discovery, and a different and larger scale in the suggestions that appear as the voyage goes on. The Narrative is frequently compared with Moby-Dick, published thirteen years later, after Poe’s death. Poe uses whiteness as a highly ambiguous(模糊的) symbol, by no means to be interpreted as purity or holiness or by association with any other positive value. There is blackness, too, in The Narrative, specifically associated with the populations that live in the regions nearest the South Pole. The native people in Tasmania, the island south of Australia, were said by explorers and settlers to be black, and were in any case, with the word “black,” swept into the large category of those related to displacement, exploitation, and worse.‎ Something very like the occupation of Kentucky by white settlers lies behind the events that bring Pym to the far-sighted conclusion of his narrative. In the early years of the nineteenth century the British began what made the native people of Tasmania die out, who had tried to resist white invasion of their island. Such occupations were, of course, a major business of Europeans, or whites, almost everywhere in the world at the time Poe wrote. They, were boasted of as progress.‎ ‎ It would have required unusual sensibility in Poe to have taken a different, very dark view of the phenomenon. But he was an unusual man. And the horror that fascinated him and gave such dreadful unity to his tales is often the unavoidable, conflict of the self by a perfect justice, the exposure of a guilty act in a form that makes its reveal a falling back of the mind against itself.‎ Young Pym is simply telling a story of a kind popular at the time, a voyage adventure lived out beyond the farthest reaches of exploration. The story is disturbed by its own deeper tendencies, the rising through this surface of the kind of recognition that must find expression in another form of literature. As his ship approaches the region of the South Pole, Pym notes the mildness of the climate, coolly listing the resources of the islands, which were assumed by such voyagers to be there for the taking.‎ If The Narrative were a conventional story, the immense roar and the towering flames might attract the notice of a passing sail—and there would be no need for a note explaining its lacking an ending. But the force of the narrative carries it beyond the fate of individuals, toward an engagement with a reality beyond any temporary human drama.‎ ‎61.

Readers might not understand why The Narrative ended so abruptly.‎ D ‎ My father and I have been separated for over two years. He was physically violent and emotionally abusive to me throughout my childhood, and I felt that I couldn’t forgive him. And yet, now he is dying, unconscious and struggling to breathe through an oxygen tube after a major stroke, all I can think of is how much he loved me.‎ How he would hold my fringe (刘海) back and kiss me on the forehead before school. How he bought me a pottery set and roller skates, although we were struggling by on just his salary, and allowed me to skate to school. How he would play chess and tennis with me, and take me to endless chess and tennis tournaments, even though I never won anything. How he would read the Guardian every day and fill in the quick crossword, but leave a few clues and praise me if I solved them. He kept every one of my Guardian columns, and every article I ever had published, even during our many estranged (疏远) periods. He gave me a lot of his savings to buy a flat after I became a single mum. And he set my date of birth as the passcode on his phone.‎ Yet I’m ashamed to say I blamed him, often, for everything: my anorexia (厌食症), my cutting, my anxiety, my depression.... He was there during the tough times, yet all I could think was that the tough times happened because of him, forgetting that the causes of events are complex, and that plenty of people who had happy childhoods have to deal with mental illness and domestic violence too.‎ I even stopped him from seeing my daughter, then three, the thing that brought him most happiness, because I was scared he would hurt her, and that her life would be like mine. That decision would mean he never spoke to me again.‎ When we spent time together in previous years, my father hugged me a lot yet never talked much. Born in 1930s America during the Depression(大萧条), he was a man of few words, a silent romantic who signed his empty Valentine’s cards to my mother with only his first initial. I know he thought I talked too much; ironically, I never told him what I needed to. Knowing he was old, I tried to get back in touch several times to make things right, but my mother said he didn’t want to hear from me. I understand that. Why would he want to hear from the daughter who was never able to forgive him for his mistakes; who brought them up time after time, unable to accept his apologies? Who prevented him from seeing his granddaughter? Who scolded him for his faults, yet never acknowledged his numerous kindnesses?‎ It’s much too late now. When I sit by his hospital bed and hold his large wrinkled(有皱纹的) hand, far too warm, and ask him to squeeze(紧握) it if he can hear me, he doesn’t. So I tell him a few of the things I should have told him when he was conscious, though it’s hard to say the words: that I love him very much, and that I’m sorry about the estrangement. And it reminds me of what I’ve known for a long time: that my dad didn’t know how to be a father to me when I was young, because his father was abusive to him as a child. His father died estranged from his son; my father is dying estranged from his daughter.‎ I never thought that I’d feel this broken at losing him. I fantasise that his eyes will open, and that he will be conscious again for just a few days. I will give him a letter thanking him for all the things I have remembered while writing this piece, and apologizing for all the ways I have wronged him. And when I deliver the ‎ letter, I will bring my five-year-old daughter with me, so he can see her happiness and sweetness, and learn that the chain of hurt that has been passed down from generation to generation has finally been broken.‎ ‎ 66. The separation between Father and the daughter is mainly caused by ______. ‎ ‎ A. Father’s cruelty towards the daughter ‎ B. Father’s irresponsibility for the family ‎ C. the daughter’s protection of her kid from harm D. the daughter’s misunderstanding of her father ‎ ‎67.

The author’s father can be described as ______.‎ ‎ A. generous, cold and stubborn B. strict, caring and stubborn ‎ ‎ C. generous, strict and inconsiderate D. caring, cold and inconsiderate ‎ ‎69.

The previous way of family education will no longer continue.‎ ‎ C. There will be no restriction in the family from that moment on.‎ ‎ D. Father will leave the world without any regrets and sufferings.‎ 70. What might be the best title of the passage?‎ ‎ A. East or west, home is best B. A good medicine tastes bitter C. It’s no use crying over spilt milk D.

Not is it surprising that reading creates a virtuous circle: the more you read the better you become. But what may come as a surprise is that reading to dogs is gaining popularity as a way of addressing concerns about children’s reading.‎ Underachievement (学业不良) in groups of children in the UK is. recognize in international studies--and successive governments have sought to address the issues in a range of ways. Reading to dogs, so far, has not been among them, but it is time to look at the strategy more seriously.‎ ‎ Many children naturally enjoy reading and need little encouragement, but if they are struggling, their confidence can quickly decrease—and with it, their motivation. This brings about the destructive cycle, and therefore reading ability fails to improve.‎ So how can dogs help?‎ A therapeutic (疗法的) presence Reading to dogs is just that—encouraging children to read alongside a dog. The practice originated in the US in 1999.‎ The presence of dogs has a calming effect on many people—hence their use in Pets as Therapy schemes (PAT). Many primary schools are becoming increasingly ‎ pressurized environments and children (like adults) generally do not respond well to such pressure. A dog creates an environment that immediately feels more relaxing and welcoming. Reading can be an independent activity, but can also be a pleasurable, shared social event. Children who are struggling to read benefit from the simple pleasure of reading to a loyal, loving listener.‎ Children who are struggling to read, for whatever reason, need to build confidence and rediscover a motivation for reading. A dog is a reassuring, friendly audience who will not mind if mistakes are made. Children can read to the dog, uninterrupted; comments will not be made. Errors can be addressed in other contexts at other times. For more experienced or capable readers, they can experiment with intonation and “voices”, knowing that the dog will respond positively—and building fluency further develops comprehension in readers.‎ For children who are struggling, reconnecting with the pleasure of reading is very important As Marylyn Jager-Adams, a literacy (读写) scholar, noted in a seminal review of beginner reading in the US: “If we want children to learn to read well, we must find a way to attract them to read lots.”‎ Reading to a dog can create a helpful balance, supporting literacy activities which may seem less appealing to a child. Children having difficulty with reading, for example, need focused support to develop their understanding of the alphabetic code (字母代码).But this needs to be balanced with activities which support independent reading and social enjoyment or the child can become less motivated.‎ Creating a virtuous circle(良性循环) ‎ Breaking a negative cycle will inevitably lead to the creation of a virtuous circle—and sharing a good book with a dog enables children to apply their reading skills in a positive and enjoyable way.‎ Research evidence in this area is rather limited, despite the growing popularity of the scheme. A 2016 systematic review of 48 studies—“Children Reading to Dogs: A Systematic Review of the Literature” by Hall, Ge and Mills--demonstrated some evidence for improvement in reading, but the evidence was not strong. There clearly is more work to do, but interest in reading to 3‎ ‎ t of to have grown through the evidence of case studies. The example, often given in the media, is that of Tony Nevett and his pet dog Danny.

The market has become flooded with new companies in recent months. The bike-sharing companies operate in a similar way. They use apps that allow users, after paying a deposit, to unlock the wheels with their smartphones. After the journey, users can leave bikes anywhere in public and pay a little money for the use. The service is very popular as it provides an effective solution to “the last kilometer” problem.‎ The promoting of the bike-sharing service is also raising questions about profitability(盈利能力), wide-spread bike vandalism (破坏) and theft(盗窃), and growing government regulation. A Hong Kong man who was arrested for throwing several shared bikes into rivers said he had no regret destroying them because ”the GPS devices in the bikes give away users' personal information, such as their locations.”‎ ‎【写作内容】‎ ‎1.用约30个单词概述上述信息的主要内容；‎ ‎2.用约120个单词发表你的观点，内容包括：‎ ‎（1）支持成反对共享单车的推广；‎ ‎（2）用2-3个理由或论据支撑你的观点。‎ ‎【写作要求】‎ ‎1. 写作过程中不能直接引用原文语句；‎ ‎2. 作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称；‎ ‎3. 不必写标题。‎ ‎【评分标准】‎ 内容完整，语言规范，语篇还贯，词数适当。‎ 高二英语阶段检测（三）参考答案 一. 听力（共两节，满分20分）‎ ‎1—5 CABCC 6—10 ABCAB 11—15 BCBAA 16—20 CACBA 二．单项填空（共15题，每小题1分，满分15分）‎ ‎21-25 DBDBA 26-30 DDACB 31-35 DCBAD 三．完形填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ ‎36-40 DABCB 41-45 CDACB 46-50 CABCD 51-55 BADCD 四．阅读理解（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）‎ ‎56-57 BA 58-60 BCD 61-65 CACCD 66—70 DCBBC ‎ 五. 句子翻译（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）)‎ ‎71.

The service not only brings great convenience ‎ to people, but causes some problems as well.‎ From my standpoint, bike-sharing system has become an essential part of public transportation in cities and should be actively promoted. Firstly, with an increasing number of people choosing the service to get around, the number of cars on the roads will decrease dramatically, which really helps the environment and reduces traffic jams. Furthermore, this service also benefits individuals in various ways. For example, it provides locals and tourists with a convenient, cheap and healthy means of transport. Those who would otherwise use their own bicycles don’t need to be concerned about such problems as theft, storage and maintenance. ‎ In a word, bike sharing is an innovative service, which relieves urban traffic pressure and brings citizens enormous benefits. And more shared bikes should be launched into the market. (163 words)‎ Possible version two The passage conveys to us the bike-sharing boom across the country, with more companies springing up in the market. The service not only brings great convenience to people, but causes some problems as well.‎ In my opinion, bike-sharing should not be promoted at present for the following reasons. In order to attract more subscribers, the bike-sharing companies are flooding walkways and other public spaces with hundreds of bikes in the hope of promoting their services, which brings great inconvenience to pedestrians. Furthermore, for lack of relevant regulations, some uncivilized people deliberately damage shared-bikes, for example, by throwing them into rivers or piling them up randomly. A fairly high deposit fee has also been criticized in a country familiar with accessing inexpensive public services. ‎ In conclusion, bike-sharing system shouldn’t be promoted before regulations and policies are put in place. The government, companies and users should all play their role in making bike-sharing sustainable and enjoyable.

It took him 17 years to go from China to India and back. He wanted to learn about the origin of Buddhism. His journey must have been amazing.

Some are even trying to find more ways to bring the urban population into contact with nature. MAD Architects is one of those companies that are trying to take “green” designs to a new level. (17) The company believes ‎ in the importance of making buildings that can produce their own power and food. They believe the buildings should also recycle all of their waste. The new designs make people living and working in these buildings think about being outside. They feel like they’re reconnecting with the natural world, (18) instead of being far apart from it. The company believes this way of thinking is very important for the future of urban living. One of MAD’s newest projects is called the Urban Forest, designed for the city of Chongqing. (19) There will be offices, open spaces, balconies with trees, and many plants throughout. The project is inspired by the mountainous Chinese landscape and the traditional villages built on the hillsides. It will be an urban engineering wonder! Architects who are interested in working on the Urban Forest should apply at the MAD offices in Beijing, New York, or Rome.
