The answer seems obvious after watching her videos. Instead of preaching to her audience
33、s, Li tells 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.

34、有向观众说教，而是按照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, an
35、d have long 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.

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。
45、他们说：要为了那些阴雨的日子存钱。）”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 fr
46、om意为“节制，控制”，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 t
47、o backpack 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
48、“and enjoy 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” , w
49、hich can digest 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.

50、n in the environment, 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 c
51、alled MHETase, 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 engin
52、eered PETase, 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
53、did work better 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
54、 to the global 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
55、 waste. PETase 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 hund
56、reds of years 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. The breakdown of PET.C. The discovery of PETase.D. The functions of PETase.14. What does the und
57、erlined word “It” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. Co-leading the trans-Atlantic team.B. Combining PETase and MHETase.C. Attacking the surface of the plastics.D. Talking about conducting experiments.15.

58、nzyme is speeding 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“wh
59、ich can digest 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,
60、 which takes 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 expe
61、riments showed 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
62、项。【15题详解】推理判断题。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
63、一种新的酶cocktail，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.
