I initially thought my fly was open, or that something was stuck in my teeth. But as I took my seat, I heard one student whisper, “Why is a black boy taking Honors?” So, my fly wasnt open. An honors level class had simply been taken by a student whose skin was brown.Many people think my clothes should be big enough for me to live in, or expect me to listen to only “black music.” In seventh grade, a group of my classmates fixed their cold stares on my clothes. They called out to me, “Go get your gangsta clothes.” In one of my Spanish classes, the teacher asked me, “Do you like rap music or rock music more?” I replied, “Rock.” The look of shock on my classmates faces made me uncomfortable.Now I still take all Honors courses. I still wear clothes that fit me. My music library covers from rock to pop to techno, and almost everything in between. When it comes to choosing my friends, I am still colorblind. I continue to do my best to work in school in order to reach my goals; and yet, when I look in the mirror, I still see skin of that same brown.I believe in being myself. I believe that I myself should decide who I am and what action I take in life. In high school, popularity often depends on your willingness to follow trends. And Ive been told that it doesnt get much easier going into adulthood. But the only other option is to sacrifice my personality for the satisfaction and approval of others. This can be appealing, but Im not going to do that.24. Why did his classmates laugh at him?A. His fly was open. B. They had prejudice against him.C. He went into the wrong classroom. D. Something was stuck in his teeth.25. What are black people usually believed to do?A. Wear small clothes. B. Take Honors courses.C. Listen to rap music. D. Attend Spanish classes.26. What does the underlined word “colorblind” probably mean?A. Treating people equally and fairly. B. Having no idea what friends to make.C. Making friends of the same skin color. D. Feeling hurt and offended inside.27. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Following Popular Trends B. Changing My PersonalityC. Having Faith in Skin Color D. Being Content with MyselfCJust ask any new parent and you may have some idea of what effect a baby has on parents career. Adding a baby to a household can also add stress to a career. Now, a new study backs that up with some astonishing numbers：After science，technology， engineering,and mathematics (STEM) professionals become parents,43% of women and 23% of men switch fields, transition (转变)to part-time work, or leave the workforce entirely.Many researchers and parents already knew that STEM can be unwelcoming to parents, particularly mothers. But “the considerable departure was astonishing,” says Erin Cech, an assistant professor of sociology at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and lead author of the study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. For both males and females, “the percentages were higher than we expected. ”The surprisingly high reduction rate for men also highlights that “parenthood in STEM is not just a mothers issue；its a worker issue,” Cech says. She hopes that the findings “might motivate changes，” such as more paid parental leave from both government and employers and policies that better support flexible work time without a tight routine. “We are not suggesting that people who want families should avoid STEM； thats not the solution,” she emphasizes.By 2018 ,78% of new fathers were still working in STEM, the vast majority full time. For new mothers ,68% were still in STEM, but only 57% worked full time. For professionals without children, on the other hand ,84% of men and 76% of women were predicted to still be working in STEM full time in 2018. For the new parents across all fields,16% of women were working part-time and 15% had left the workforce, as compared with just 2% and 3%, respectively, for men. These sharp differences make clear that, even though the reduction rate for fathers is higher than expected, mothers still face particular career challenges.28. What makes many STEM employees change their jobs?A. Worrying about their family. B. The heavy burden at home and work.C. Being tired of the former jobs. D. The attraction of part-time jobs. 29. Which statement may Erin Cech agree with?A. People with families should leave STEM. B. STEM professionals should obey the rules.C. Working at home may be a popular choice. D. Increasing welfare may keep STEM parents.30. How many new mothers among the labor force worked full time in 2018?A. 76%. B.31%. C.57%.D. 69%.31. What does the author want to stress by listing the sharp differences?A. Its harder for mothers to make a balance. B. Too many fathers leave STEM.C. Its impossible to have a successful career. D. STEM jobs are no longer popular. DKnown as GC-1,the drug reportedly speeds up metabolism（新陈代谢）,or burning off, of fat cells. “GC-1 dramatically increases the metabolic rate, essentially transforming white fat, which stores extra calories and is associated with obesity and metabolic disease, into a fat like calorie-burning brown fat,” said Kevin Phillips, a researcher in Houston.Until several years ago, scientists thought that only animals and human babies have energy-burning, good brown fat. “It is now clear,” Phillips said, “that human adults do have brown fat, but appear to lose its calorie-burning activity over time.” White fat has a bad effect on people when the body has too much of it. Some published research shows that people who have more brown fat have a reduced risk of obesity. Researchers are now working on ways to “brown” white fat, or change it into brown fat.GC-1 works, according to Phillips. He said he and other researchers have tested the drug in hundreds of mice. Obese（肥胖的） mice, both genetically obese and those with diet-induced obesity, received GC-1 treatment daily. Genetically obese mice lost weight and more than 50 percent of their fat mass in approximately two weeks, Phillips reported. He said mice with diet-induced obesity experienced similar improvements. The drug also caused adaptive thermogenes（适应性发热）in fat cells from mice. Cells grown in a dish, as well as tissue samples taken from obese mice, showed evidence of white-fat browning. “Our data prove that GC-1 is a novel fat-browning agent that may have use in the treatment of obesity and metabolic disease,” Phillips said.The drug has not yet been tested for weight loss in humans. However, Phillips said it wouldnt be long before it was used as a way of losing weight.32.What is the writers purpose of writing this passage? A. To prove the harm of a new drug. B. To introduce a new drug to people. C. To explain the development of a new drug. D. To inform people of some health knowledge.33.In the past, people held the belief that_. A. animals dont have brown fat B. only human adults have brown fat C. human babies have brown fat D. brown fat may lose its activity over time34.What can we know about GC-1? A. It is a drug intended for mice. B. It is a cure for heart disease. C. It has been sold in the drug store. D. It can be used to treat obesity.35.Which of the following can make people lose weight? A. Increasing more white fat. B. Changing white fat into brown fat. C. Burning off more brown fat. D. Slowing down the activity of brown fat. 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，并在答题卡上将相应的选项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。Most drinks stating that they are fruit-flavored contain no fruit at all, while most of the rest contain only a small quantity of fruit, according to a study carried by the British Food Commission. “Shoppers need to check the labels before buying drinks, though sometimes the actual content can be non-existent,” said Food Commission spokesperson Lan Tokelove. “Food production is highly competitive. 36 It will increase profits, and consumers wont always realize they are being tricked.” Flavorings are focused on the flavors of natural food products such as fruits, meats and vegetables, or creating flavor for food products that do not have the desired flavorsResearchers analyzed the contents of 28 strawberry-flavored products sold in stores. 37 . Of the 11 products that did contain strawberries, five of them contained less than one percent real fruitIn addition, each juice box contained nearly eight teaspoons of sugar 38 Lets take jam as an example. Some strawberry-flavored jam was labeled as containing no artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners, but it contained absolutely no strawberries at all. 39 Consumers have the rights to know clearly about what they have boughtUnder current UK law, food packages do not have to distinguish between natural and artificial flavoring. “Describing a product as strawberry flavor and covering the surface of the packed with pictures of strawberries is misleading. 40 Unfortunately, it is also legal and widespread,” Tokelove said.A. The products which contain real fruit are popular with people.B. Even products advertised as more natural often contained no fruit.C. They found that about 60 percent of them didnt contain any fruit at all.D. If companies can cut their costs by using flavoring, they are likely to do so.E. It is important and necessary to demand a small amount of flavoring in the products.F. Actually the product contains just a tiny percentage of strawberry or even no fruit at all.G. The Food Commission suggested all flavors used in a product should be listed on the packaging.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。When Freddie, a member of a non-profit organization called Swan Songs, arrived to perform in the hospital room, Pam worried it was already too late.
