This is the final stage of your online packages journey, from a local warehouse to your front door. Labor costs, paying drivers, the cost of fuel and the vehicle costs for maintaining small vehicle
37、s all contribute to making this the most expensive part of the delivery process. The first part of the packages journey is far cheaper, with high volumes of packages being transported to and from the same location. However, at the other end, drivers deliver smaller shipments to several different loc

Participan
47、ts reported whether they exercised regularly, and if so, what type of exercises they typically did. The researchers then scanned participants, blood, looking for genes(基因) that are tied to an increased risk of obesity(肥胖). Next, the researchers examined whether certain exercises seemed to balance th
48、is risk. Overall, people who reported doing any type of regular exercises tended to have a lower BMI(体重指数) than those who didnt. This was true even among people who were genetically easy to become overweight. But one exercise stood out as the one with the strongest anti-obesity effect: jogging. Part
49、icipants with obesity genes who jogged tended to have a lower BMI than people with similar genetic risk who did not jog. But for those who loathe jogging, fear not: Five other types of exercises were also tied to a lower BMI among individuals at risk for obesity. These included mountain climbing, ba
50、llroom dancing and walking. The benefits of these exercises were the biggest among those with the greatest genetic risk of obesity. Interestingly, several other types of exercises failed to counteract the genetic risk of obesity. These included cycling, stretching exercises and swimming. The finding
51、s dont mean that these latter exercises cant help with weight control. Its just that they didnt seem to counteract the genetic tendency to gain weight. There could be several reasons for this. The researchers noted that, for the average Joe or Jane, cycling and stretching exercises tend to require l
52、ess energy than the exercises that were tied to a lower obesity risk. In addition, exercising in water, as happens with swimming, may increase appetite. 【文章大意】本文为一篇说明文。研究表明, 慢跑是肥胖基因的克星。此外, 爬山、交际舞和散步也有利于降低肥胖的风险。相反, 骑自行车、做伸展运动和游泳等并不能帮助抵抗肥胖基因风险。 28. What does the underlined word“loathe”in the third par
53、agraph mean? A. Dislike. B. Display. C. Disturb. D. Discourage. 【解析】选A。词义猜测题。画线词后面提供了其他几项抵抗肥胖基因风险的运动。可见画线词所在句的意思是“对于那些不喜欢慢跑的人来说, 也不必担心”。故可判断loathe是“不喜欢, 讨厌”之意。29. Which exercise has the least effect on balancing obesity genes? A. Mountain climbing. B. Ballroom dancing. C. Running slowly. D. Riding a
54、 bicycle. 【解析】选D。细节理解题。根据第四段中的“several other types of exercises failed to counteract the genetic risk of obesity. These included cycling, stretching exercises and swimming. ”可知, 骑自行车不能抵抗肥胖基因风险。【易错点拨】A项具有较大的干扰性。原因是考生未能正确理解“several other types of exercises failed to counteract the genetic risk of obes
55、ity. These included cycling, stretching exercises and swimming. ”, 本句的意思是“一些其他类型的运动不能抵抗肥胖基因风险, 包括骑自行车、做伸展运动及游泳”。但这并不等于说这些运动没有减肥效果。后面一句话“The findings dont mean that these latter exercises cant help with weight control”也清楚地说明了这一点。故A项不正确。30. What does the author indicate in the last paragraph? A. Swimm
56、ing doesnt help one lose weight. B. Diving may make a person eat more food. C. Average people put less energy into exercises. D. Stretching exercises will become popular. 【解析】选B。推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“In addition, exercising in water, as happens with swimming, may increase appetite”可知水中运动可能会增加食欲。潜水属于水中运动,
57、 据此可判断潜水可能使一个人饭量增加。31. Which of the following is the best title? A. Jogging Less Leads to Genetic ObesityB. Regular Exercises Tend to Lower BMIC. Whether Exercises Balance Risks of Obesity GenesD. Genes Are Very Important for Peoples Weight Control【解析】选C。标题判断题。根据第一段最后一句、第二段第三句、第三段最后一句和第四段第一句可知, 本文主要
58、讲的是运动是否能够平衡肥胖基因的风险, 故C项是最佳答案。DThe climate change has become an issue that no one can escape from. If the world wants to limit climate change, water shortage and pollution, we all need to choose “flexitarian (弹性素食的)” diets, say scientists. This means eating mainly plant-based food, which is one of th
59、ree key steps towards a sustainable future for all in 2050, they say. Food waste will need to be halved and farming practices will also have to improve, according to the study. Without action, the impacts of the food system could increase by up to 90%. Fast on the heels of the landmark report of the
60、 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) comes this new study on how food production and consumption impact major threats to the planet. The authors say that the food system has a number of significant environmental impacts including being a major driver of climate change, providing freshwa
61、ter and reducing pollution through over use of nitrogen (氮) and phosphorus (磷). The study says that thanks to the population and income growth expected between 2010 and 2050, these impacts could grow between 50%90%. This could push our world beyond its geographic boundaries. So when it comes to clim
62、ate change, the authors looked at what they called a “flexitarian diet”. “We can eat a range of healthy diets but what they all have in common, according to the latest scientific evidence, is that they are all relatively plant-based, ” said lead author Dr. Marco Springmann from the University of Oxf
63、ord. “You can go from a diet that has small amounts of animal products; some might call it a Mediterranean-based diet; we call it a flexitarian diet. We tried to stay with the most conservative one of these which in our view is the flexitarian one, but even this has only one serving of red meat per
64、week, ” he added. If the world moved to this type of diet, the study found that greenhouse gas emissions (排放) from agriculture would be reduced by more than half. 【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。研究表明, 弹性素食饮食有助于改善环境。32. What benefit will the new diets bring to the world? A. The animals will be saved. B. People will n
65、eed more water. C. The climate change will stop. D. The pollution will be controlled. 【解析】选D。细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“If the world wants to limit climate change, water shortage and pollution, we all need to choose flexitarian diets, say scientists. ”可知, 通过选择弹性素食饮食, 人们可以限制气候变化, 缓解水资源短缺并能减少污染。故选D。33. What can b
66、e called a “flexitarian” diet? A. Eat animal products every meal. B. Eat plant-based vegetables every meal. C. Eat mainly vegetables and never eat animal products. D. Eat plant-based meal mainly and animal products sometimes. 【解析】选D。推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“You can go from a diet that has small amounts of anim
67、al products; some might call it a Mediterranean-based diet. . . but even this has only one serving of red meat per week”可知, 弹性素食饮食主要是以蔬菜为基础的饮食, 但每周至少也要吃一次红肉。由此可推知, 弹性素食饮食以蔬菜为主, 肉食为辅。故选D。34. What will happen if the new diet is popular globally? A. The climate will become warmer. B. The food consumpti
68、on will increase. C. People will have less greenhouse gas. D. People will produce more food waste. 【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据最后一段“If the world moved to this type of diet, the study found that greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture would be reduced by more than half. ”可知, 如果全球都采取这种饮食方式, 农业所产生的温室气体排放量将减少一半以上,
69、 即温室气体的产生量会变得更少。故选C。35. What is the attitude of the author to the new diet? A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Opposed. D. Indifferent. 【解析】选A。观点态度题。通读全文可知, 文章主要介绍了弹性素食饮食有助于改善环境。由此可推知, 作者对这种饮食方式是支持的。故选A。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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Many people, including some
70、successful men, wear the same clothing daily to focus their decision-making energy on more important things. 36 Julia, an art teacher, is wearing the same dress for the first 100 days of school to create awareness of the environmental costs of fast fashion. Available online or from various shops, it
71、 allows everyone to adopt the latest fashion trends instantly. Though that sounds like a win-win for all, the rapid change in styles and the affordable prices result in impulse(冲动)purchases, many of which are thrown away after being worn just once or twice. 37Julias idea for the“One Outfit(服装), 100
72、Days”began as a comment she made to her husband during the summer. 38 Moreover, it would serve as a great lesson for her new students. Selecting a perfect outfit for the challenge was a little tricky. After some consideration. Julia settled on a plain dress. Though she has a backup dress, Julia plan
73、s to use it only if absolutely necessary. 39 It has also inspired some of her colleagues and her husband to take up the challenge. Julia says the experiment has forced her to rethink her attitude towards clothes. She values things more nowrespecting the planet for her children and trying to value he

Over 21 billion pounds of cloth ends up being waste yearly in the US alone. G. Thinking further, she decided it would be a
76、 way to show her eco-friendly lifestyle. 【文章大意】本文为记叙文。介绍了一位艺术老师Julia“一百天, 一套衣服”的理念及其带来的改变和影响。36. 【解析】选C。考查承上启下句。根据空前的“to focus their decision-making energy on more important things”和空后的“to create awareness of the environmental costs of fast fashion”可知, Julia的“一百天, 一套衣服”挑战不仅是为了把更多精力放在重要的事情上, 还是出于环保这一
77、无私的目的。C项与上下文吻合, 为正确选项。37. 【解析】选F。考查细节支撑句。根据空前的“impulse purchases, many of which are thrown away after being worn just once or twice”可知, 很多人冲动之下买来的衣服穿了一两次后就被扔掉, F项为这一行为的后果, 承接上文。38. 【解析】选G。考查细节支撑句。空前提到“began as a comment she made to her husband during the summer”, G项“进一步思考后, 她决定这将是展现她环保生活方式的方法”承接上文,
78、且与空后的“Moreover, it would serve as a great lesson for her new students”吻合, 为正确选项。39. 【解析】选B。考查细节支撑句。根据空后的“It has also inspired some of her colleagues and her husband to take up the challenge”可知, 此处在讲Julia的挑战的影响, 故B项符合语境, 下文中的also和experiment也是提示。【易错点拨】本题易误选D项。该项中的“the whole school”与下一句中的“some of her c
79、olleagues”相矛盾。40. 【解析】选E。考查细节支撑句。根据空后的“Reuse, recycle, and, most importantly, reduce”可知, 该空与3Rs有关, E项符合语境。第三部分语言运用(共两节, 满分30分)第一节(共15小题; 每小题1分, 满分15分)阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。The Glover kids in Newburgh, New York, want to make a little extra money themselves before school opens.

One Sunday, a particular picture especially touched me. A young woman stood in front of a simple mobile home, a depressed expression on her face. A young boy
110、, seven or eight years old, stood at her side, eyes downcast. Hiding behind her skirt was a tiny girl who stared into the camera, wide eyes with confusion and fear.
