将该项涂黑。
A
The new wave of plant-based “meat” is going mainstream and straight into one of America’s
most iconic chain fast-food burgers, the White Castle Slider. White Castle announced Thursday it is introducing a vegetarian fake-meat version of its famous mini-burgers. The burger is one of several
scientifically engineered products made to make plant ingredients (成分) taste just like beef. Called
the Impossible Slider, it will be first sold in the New York, New Jersey and greater Chicago areas
with the potential for a nationwide promotion.
The White Castle Impossible Slider—made with cheese, pickles, onions and a bun—features a
2-ounce patty and costs $1. 99, while the traditional 0.9-ounce mini-cheeseburger costs 94 cents.
“Plant-based proteins are growing. We felt it was a good opportunity to test it with our customers,”
CEO Lisa Ingram said. “We think it will appeal to a broad range of customers—those that are meat
eaters who want to try something different and non-meat eaters who want this.” She also said the
new sliders might bring in new customers, too.
The Impossible Slider represents what few in the traditional beef industry thought
possible—that cowless meat would be a hit in a country known for its meat-and-potatoes diet and
love of burgers. Plant-based meat alternatives are growing at a rate of about 11% a year, according
to research firm Acosta. The market isn’t just vegetarians: some 71% of people who buy plant-based
meat also eat the real thing.
“Interest in meat alternatives seems to be driven by consumers at large, not just those looking
for vegetarian life-styles, but looking for diversification (多样化) of tastes and health benefits,” said
Billy Roberts, senior food and drink analyst at global market research firm Mintel. “Our business is a
growth business. There’ll be increased demands for products like the Impossible Burger,”
Impossible Foods Chief Operating Officer David Lee said. “People are increasingly asking about
what impact food has on the environment and our health.”
21. What is the selling point of the Impossible Slider?
A. Its low price. B. Its good taste.
C. Its high technology. D. Its plant-based ingredients.
22. According to the passage, who may be attracted by the Impossible Slider?
① people living a vegetarian life ② people looking for various tastes
③ people valuing health ④ people disliking fast-food
A. ① B. ①② C. ①②③ D. ①②③④
23. What can be inferred from David Lee’s words?
A. Curiosity drives more people to buy the Impossible Slider.
B. People’s concern over the environment and health may help the new business.
C. People’s doubt about food impact may stop the Impossible Slider’s popularity.
D. Eco-friendly people play an important part in promoting the Impossible Slider.
B
You may have heard the expression “buying into the dip”. We usually think of this in terms of
investing (投资)—for example, recessions(经济萧条) offer an opportunity to take advantage of
buying cheap stocks that were once expensive.
But to me, “buying into the dip” is a term which covers a lot more than that. There are a few
reasons that I was able to “buy into the dip” and start a business during the Great Recession:
ChopDawg.com had zero upstart costs, with no need for any credit to get started. No loans, just $10
for the domain name. I picked a service that only required my own time and labor and that’s
basically it. Not needing credit was a big deal for me, and I didn’t even think about this at the time. I was also selling a service that was priced at just the right rock-bottom level to fill a need.
Local small businesses badly needed more sales, since so many had cut their spending due to the
recession. A website could give these businesses a new way to reach their customers, new and old.
From an economic standpoint, the Great Recession was an opportunity to start if you were
selling the right thing at the right cost. During recessions, the pool gets way less crowded. Potential
competitors become much more unwilling to risk, but for those who have an in-demand service, and
the means to provide it, you are in business.
Back in 2009, website design had not yet become a commercial service. Offering web design as
a service for small businesses was a novel idea, and many mom-and-pop shops didn’t know they
needed it yet, which brings me to this: if you can solve a fresh-out-of-the-recession pain point at the
right price, you have a chance of buying into the dip and helping a lot of people at the same time.
24. What is “buying into the dip” to the author?
A. Selling things at low costs.
B. Buying cheap stocks in time.
C. Offering help to small businesses.
D. Starting a business with the least investment.
25. What does the underlined word “novel” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. Familiar. B. Simple. C. Clear. D. New.
26. What can be a suitable title for the passage?
A. Start small—very small. B. Keep an eye on what you may need.
C. Serve right—quite right. D. Adapt to changes in the Internet service.
C
When I was 10 years old, I asked a neighborhood kid who was older than me, “Which city is
further west: Reno, Nev., or Los Angeles?” The correct answer is Reno, Nevada. But he was
convinced it was the other way around.
He was so convinced that Los Angeles was west of Reno that he was willing to bet me two
dollars. So I went into the house to get my Rand McNally Map. The kid looked at the map and said,
“The map is drawn funny.” It wasn’t. Was his argument that the map didn’t preserve east, west,
north and south? What kind of map would that be? I showed him if you trace down the 120-degree
west line of longitude (经度)—which runs almost directly through Reno, Nev.—you end up in the
Pacific Ocean, somewhere west of Los Angeles.
He replied that lines of longitude don’t cross the ocean.
What? I told him that the lines of longitude were there to show how far west or east some
location was, regardless of whether it was on land or on sea.
There was one problem, however. He was bigger than me.
I drew a number of conclusions from this story.
There is such a thing as truth, but we often tend to ignore it. Also, it’s not just thinking
something that makes it true. Truth is not relative. It’s not subjective. It may be hidden. People may
wish to ignore it. But there is such a thing as truth and the pursuit (追求) of truth: trying to figure out
what has really happened, trying to figure out how things really are.
Almost 15 years ago, I came across a story about an innocent man, a man who had been
sentenced to death in the Huntsville, Texas, electric chair. And through hard work and luck, I was
able to make the movie The Thin Blue Line and to help get him out of prison.
What kept me going was the belief that there had to be answers to the questions “Did he do it?”, “Was he guilty or innocent?”, “If he didn’t do it, who did?” and that I could find an answer to these
questions through investigating (调查).
It’s not that we find truth with a big “T”. We investigate and sometimes we find things out and
sometimes we don’t. There’s no way to know in advance. It’s just that we have to go ahead as
though there are answers to questions. We must go ahead as though, in principle, we can find things
out—even if we can’t. The alternative is unacceptable.
I will never know whether the neighborhood kid really didn’t understand the logic of my
argument about Reno, Nev. Or whether he understood it completely and just didn’t want to admit it.
Or whether he understood it and just didn’t want to pay up. I’ll never know.
All I know is I never got my two dollars.
27. Why does the author tell the story of the neighborhood boy?
A. To recall his good old days.
B. To show his good sense of direction.
C. To introduce the topic of finding truth.
D. To stress the importance of geography.
28. Why did the boy say “The map is drawn funny.” in Paragraph 2?
A. Because he had fun reading maps.
B. Because he refused to admit his mistake.
C. Because the map was drawn in a different way.
D. Because there were some mistakes in the map.
29. What encouraged the author to make the movie The Thin Blue Line?
A. His devotion to films. B. His willingness to help.
C. His belief in finding answers. D. His mercy for the innocent man.
30. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Great minds think alike. B. It’s never too late to learn.
C. Truth never fears investigation. D. Honesty is the best policy.
第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2 分,满分 10 分)
根据短文内容,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。
Going green is a great way to reduce your environmental footprint and help the planet. Being
green is all about reducing how many resources you use, reusing items when you can, and recycling
items that can’t be reused. 31
Carry a reusable water bottle so you will not need bottled water.
32 Not only does it create trash, but it also uses more resources because it’s shipped to
the store. To be more eco-friendly, make it a habit to carry a reusable water bottle with you
everywhere so that you can drink water on the go. Plastic bottles are usually the lightest and most
convenient.
Use reusable bags while you’re shopping.
Shopping bags make it easy to carry your items home, but they also pollute the planet. Skip the
store’s shopping bags and bring your own instead. Use a backpack that you already own, or purchase
a couple of reusable bags from the checkout area at your local grocery store. 33
34
Before you throw something away, look for ways you might reuse it. Try re-purposing items or
making green crafts. This will help you keep trash out of the landfill. For example, instead of throwing away a jar, you might use it as a glass, vase, or storage container.
Reduce the amount of time you spend using electronics.
While electronics are really fun and help you feel connected to your friends, they also use up a
lot of energy. Schedule breaks from your electronics so you can use them less. During your breaks,
do something fun like going for a walk, playing a game with your friends, or pursuing a hobby.
35 For instance, instead of playing online video games together, go to a local park.
A. Glass bottles have come a long way in recent years.
B. Reuse items to save them from the landfill.
C. You can use your reusable bags at most stores.
D. Bottled water is really bad for the environment.
E. You probably need to change your personal habits.
F. Invite your friends to connect with you in real life.
G. You can find ideas for green crafts by searching online.

Renewable energy production accounts for 40% of the UK’s electricity, with fossil fuels behind at 39%.

It’s encouraging 68 (see) that the country that kicked off the Industrial Revolution is

阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇 60 词左右的内容概要。
In the last few decades, scientists have reached a consensus and reported that human beings are
causing changes in the Earth’s climate.
In the last 50 years, gases pumped into the Earth’s atmosphere by factories and vehicles have
been speeding up the process of global warming and affecting our climate. Global warming refers to
an average increase in the Earth’s temperature that, in turn, leads to climate change. If we continue
to produce carbon dioxide and other gases in such huge quantities, we are expecting severe
consequences. Recent reports have warned that global warming will cause terrible climate changes
including more frequent flooding, heat, waves and droughts. Serious diseases will spread and
industries that rely on nature will be badly affected. Increased temperatures will also cause the polar
ice to melt, raising sea levels and flooding many islands and cities. How can we stop these disasters
from happening?
Governments all over the world should take on the responsibility, but this is no easy task. Some
governments express reservations about whether global warming is really caused by human activities.
Many people believe that they are simply not prepared to give up the amount of money they make
from industry to save the Earth.
But why wait around for governments to take action? Experts say that each person plays their
part. They suggest making small changes like taking public transport, recycling using low-flow
shower heads, and buying light bulbs that use less energy. Even simple things like using recycled
paper or switching off the lights when you leave a room can help. If we add up all these small
changes made by everyone worldwide, they won’t be such small changes. They could be the changes
that save our future. 南京市 2019~2020 学年度第一学期期中调研测试卷
