15、2018年的2.4万亿元人民币。修饰动词soar用副词，increase（增加）是动词，它的副词是increasingly（不断增加地）。故填increasingly。13. 考查形容词。句意：深圳这个南方城市拥有1200万人口，以其强大的创新能力而闻名。使用形容词修饰名词city作定语，south（南方）是名词，它的形容词是southern（南方的）。故填southern。14. 考查固定搭配。句意：它是包括华为和腾讯在内的14,000多家国家高科技企业所在地。固定词组be home to的意思是“为的所在地”。故填to。15. 考查冠词。句意：王小光教授在一篇文章中说，中国改革开放的许多很

29、 good way to insure against future catastrophe. The snails cant simply be spread among zoos or other facilities: they need special equipment, experienced handlers, and a diet of native Hawaiian plants.Consequently, it can be hard for the snails minders to relax, even when they are outside the traile
30、r. “How do you switch off when your decisions mean existence or extinction? Sischo said. While action lightens the burden, yet with animals whose natural history is largely unknown, that action can be dangerous. If you do it wrong, the snails die.”Snails are neither intelligent nor beloved. Sischos
31、friends sometimes tease him about being the strange snail guy ; strangers ask why he cares. Its hard to convince people, but he insists that if he can just get them in the trailer, they will understand why the Achatinella bulimoides are worth saving. People melt, he said“When you show them that the

33、 the following could be the best title for the text?A. The Last of Its KindB. The Worst of TimesC. Mourn Its LossD.

34、 thieved, and to resist hurricanes. But a fire could easily destroy it, or a disease could sweep through it. .As sad as the event was, theres no good way to insure against future catastrophe.

But a fire co
36、uld easily destroy it, or a disease could sweep through it. Last September , a mystery pathogen appeared to have entered the trailer on leaves fed to the snails, killing almost an entire species.”拖车房屋的设计是为了防止潜在的盗窃，并抵御飓风。但是一场火灾可以轻易地摧毁它，或者一种疾病可以席卷它。由此可推断出，这种拖车房屋很容易被火烧，疾病可摧毁它，所以它是易受其他因素影响的。故选C。26.主旨大意题
37、。根据第一段中的“. He had found a dozen of Achatinella bulimoides -a third of the worlds population of the species”一天他发现了12种蜗牛，占世界蜗牛总数的三分之一。第二段中的“Last September , a mystery pathogon（病原体）appeared to have entered the trailer on leaves fed to the snails, killing almost an entire species.” 去年9月,一个谜似的 (病原体进入了拖车中
38、蜗牛吃的树叶, 几乎杀死整个物种。第三段中的“How do you switch off when your decisions mean existence or extinction?” Sischo said。“你的决定会影响它们的生存或毁灭，你怎么能不担心呢？你的决定会影响它们的生存或毁灭，你怎么能不担心呢？”由此可推断出：这种蜗牛的数量极少，也就是说“这种物种最后的几条蜗牛“。分析选项可知A项“这种物种最后的几条蜗牛”为短文最佳标题。故选A。CFood experts say washing could spread the germs on your turkey in the k
39、itchen sink or nearby food. But its been a challenge trying to convince cooks to stop rinsing （冲洗）off raw poultry. Germs that can make people sick are common in the guts of healthy poultry and are legally allowed to be on raw turkey and chicken. The assumption is that nobody eats their poultry raw,
40、and that thorough cooking will kill the bacteria.The do not wash raw poultry advice from the USDA is relatively new and perhaps hasnt caught on because it goes against the common belief that washing makes things clean, said Chapman. Benjamin Chapman, a study author and food safety expert at North Ca
41、rolina State University, said the instinct to wash raw poultry goes back at least decades when people relied more on visual clues to spot problems with poultry. Meanwhile, washing hands and surfaces are also important.But food preparation is a complicated act, and germs from poultry can be spread ev
42、en if its not washed, especially when birds are removed from packaging.The USDA-funded study stresses that point. Researchers sprayed raw chicken with a harmless strain of E. coli （大肠杆菌）and watched volunteer cooks at test kitchens. Among those who washed their raw chicken, about a quarter ended up s

And there are other opportunities for germs to survive on turkeys: melting and cooking.To ensure a bird is thoroughly cooked, they say to use a thermometer to check that the deepest
44、 and thickest parts of it have reached 165 degrees. Even after the meal is cooked, you arent out of the danger zone. To keep turkeys and other leftovers safe, experts say they should be refrigerated after two hours.27. People dont accept USDAs advice because_.A. the advice is relatively newB. cleani
45、ng seems more trustworthyC. cooks clean the turkey before cooking itD. heat can kill most germs and no one eats raw food28. What can be concluded from Paragraph 4?A. Food packages carry germs.B.

46、ot.D. Multiple methods should be applied to food to get rid of germs.29. Which way may help to cook a turkey safely?A. Rinse off the turkey before it is heated.B. Keep the turkey away from the lettuce and refrigerator.C. Wash hands and packages before taking out the turkey.D. Use a thermometer to ch
47、eck the temperature of the turkey.30. From which section of a magazine is the text probably taken?A. Culture.B. Science.C. Education.D. Medicine.【答案及解析】 B C D B本文是一篇说明文，介绍了食品专家说清洗可能会在厨房水槽或附近的食物中传播火鸡身上的细菌，但美国农业部的研究强调无论是否被清洗，火鸡身上的细菌都会传播，同时指出用温度计检查火鸡的温度有助于安全地烹饪火鸡。27. 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The do not wash raw p
48、oultry advice from the USDA is relatively new and perhaps hasnt caught on because it goes against the common belief that washing makes things clean, said Chapman.”可知，查普曼说，美国农业部提出的“不清洗生禽”的建议相对较新，但可能还没有流行起来，因为这违背了人们普遍认为的“清洗可以使东西干净”的观念，由此可知，人们不接受美国农业部的建议是因为清洗似乎更值得信赖，故B项正确。28. 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Among those
49、who washed their raw chicken, about a quarter ended up spreading the bacteria to their lettuce. But even some of those who did not rinse the chicken got germs on the lettuce. And there are other opportunities for germs to survive on turkeys: melting and cooking.”可知，在那些清洗生鸡肉的人中，约四分之一的人最终将细菌传播到生菜上，但即使
50、是一些没有清洗鸡肉的人，生菜上也有细菌，火鸡身上的细菌还有其他生存的机会：融化和烹饪，由此可知，不管火鸡是否被清洗，它身上的细菌都会传播，故C项正确。29. 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“To ensure a bird is thoroughly cooked, they say to use a thermometer to check that the deepest and thickest parts of it have reached 165 degrees.”可知，为了确保一只家禽被彻底煮熟，他们说要用温度计检查它最深和最厚的部分是否达到165度，由此可知，用温度计检查火鸡的温
51、度有助于安全地烹饪火鸡，故D项正确。30. 推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了食品专家说清洗可能会在厨房水槽或附近的食物中传播火鸡身上的细菌，但美国农业部的研究强调无论是否被清洗，火鸡身上的细菌都会传播，同时指出用温度计检查火鸡的温度有助于安全地烹饪火鸡，这属于科学范畴，因此这篇文章最有可能出自于杂志的科学版块，故B项正确。DThe new garbage sorting regulation has taken effect in Shanghai starting July 1.
