In 2020 alone, the average American will consume more than 100 kgs of red meat, according to a report from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA). At the same time, the environmental impact caused by meat consumption waste, animal treatment, health issues and even the greenhouse gas effects has given rise to a number of startups （新兴企业） looking for ways to fill our growing demand for meat. But can the demand be filled in a sustainable and affordable way?A bunch of companies are not only optimistic but are working to make this happen sooner. All of these companies harvest cells from animals and grow them in a lab. For example, San Francisco-based Memphis Meats is developing cell-based meats in its laboratories by manufacturing fat and muscle cells without requiring any animals. And dont worry if youre not a meat lover. Startups such as Jet Eat, which is based in Israel, are working on food products grown in labs that are plant based and produce meats using natural ingredients while still maintaining flavor, consistency and the “overall sensory experience”.As you can imagine, there are plenty of hurdles facing the industry. Educating the public is a big one. Another controversial issue is the labelling of the products. Meat industry trade groups have been pressing the USDA to more strictly regulate alternative meats, labeled as “imitation products”.Many of us have concerns about the challenges facing future generations as our global population swells and the earths natural resources shrink. The good news is that there are plenty of companies around the world like those producing lab-grown meats - who are working to solve some of these problems and make a few bucks in the process. Nothing wrong with that.24.What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 probably refer to?A. Protecting the meat industry.B. Promoting a healthy lifestyle.C. Reducing meat consumption gradually.D. Meeting human demands for meat sustainably.25.What kind of meat does Jet Eat produce?A. It tastes as good as real meat.B. It is harvested directly from animals.C. It looks like plants completely.D. It contains fat and muscle cells.26.According to the passage, how can consumers tell the lab-grown meat?A. By receiving public education. B. By referring to the label.C. By observing it closely. D. By consulting the USDA.27.What is the text mainly about?A. Extraordinary jobs done by new startups.B. Lab-grown meat ready to feed the world.C. Effective strategies applied when shopping.D. The existing threat faced by humans.CWhen the clock struck midnight on February 23, my flight left the Egyptian capital Cairo heading for Beijing. I was about to start a 10-month program organized by Chinas Public Diplomacy Association.During this program offered to African journalists to better understand China and report on some important events, one being the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation in September, I gained a lot of knowledge regarding the culture, history, and features of this vast society.Upon arrival, I first sought out the Egyptian community in Beijing, and met two journalists from my country who worked for Xinhua News Agency and China Global Television Network. Our gathering point was an Egyptian coffee shop in Sanlitun, a well-known meeting place for foreigners in Beijing. Most of our meetings were spent sharing experiences about life in China. Indeed, I was able to begin understanding the country through their stories. Plus, through those friends I expanded my circle.I also struck up a relationship with some Chinese journalists while participating in activities with my African peers. They helped me appreciate the rich culture and eventful history of ancient China, as well as the massive developments over the last 40 years, both politically and economicallyDuring my stay, I traveled to nine provinces and visited masses of cities. The place I was most connected with was Sanya due to its similarities to Sharm El-Sheikh, one of the worlds most famous tourist destinations, located on the Red Sea in Egypt.Shanghai will also last in my memory. I discover that this city is not only distinguished for business deals, but has a colorful history illustrated by its fantastic museum, which tells the story of how Shanghais importance grew in the 19th century.When walking in Beijing or any of the other cities I visited, I always felt history mixed with signs of modernity, mirroring four decades of hard work. I recorded many aspects of my life in china.28.Why did the writer come to China?A. Working for Xinhua News Agency.B. Visiting some famous cities.C. Expanding his circle of friends.D. Covering important events.29.What do foreigners usually do when meeting in Sanlitun?A. Talk about their life experiences.B. just have a drink in a coffee shop.C. Share stories in their own countries.D. Participate in activities30.Which of the following is the reason for the writers mentioning Sharm El-Sheikh?A. He missed his hometown. B. It is a famous tourist destination.C. It has something in common with Sanya. D. It is located in Egypt.31.Which word can best describe the writers impression of China?A. Dissatisfying.B. Awesome.C. Moving.D. Horrible.DTheres a song by the great Jamaican singer Bob Marley called So Much Trouble In The World. Marley understood that part of the reason why there are so many problems in the world is the lack of tolerance between people. The UN understands this toothats why it made Nov 16 “International Day for Tolerance”.But first of all, what is tolerance? French philosopher Voltaire (16941778) can give us some help. According to him, tolerance “is the consequence of humanity. We are all formed of frailty (脆弱) and error; let us pardon each others follythat is the first law of nature.”Nobodys perfect. When were tempted to criticize another person, we should perhaps remember our own imperfections first.Very often, people dont realize that theyre intolerant. This is because intolerance has a lot to do with ignorance. For example, the UNs campaign is in part about the treatment of females by males. But often, the behavior of men toward women is intolerant because men dont put themselves in the shoes of women.Its worth thinking a little about the words “tolerance” and “intolerance”. Are they the best words to describe the evils of which were speaking here? To agree to be “tolerant” of someone isnt necessarily a very respectful thing. When someone is tolerated, it implies that theres something wrong with them.But it seems wrong that people should agree to “tolerate” people with black skin, for example. And should women think they have received the respect they are due when men agree to “tolerate” them?Still, what Voltaire said stands: We humans are not perfect and this weakness is something that we all share. Thats the reason we should be tolerant.Its a little like generosity. We can give things to another person, and we can also give our forgiveness. Bob Marley understood this. In the song mentioned above, he advised: “Write your love on a rock so it stays for eternity; write your hate in the sand so the waves will wash it away.”32.According to Voltaire, tolerance is _.A. being willing to express your love to othersB. trying to overcome your imperfectionsC. giving a hand to vulnerable groups (弱势群体)D. accepting each others weaknesses33.Why are people usually unaware of their intolerance, according to the article?A. They are used to finding faults.B. They consider tolerance a kind of frailty.C. They dont see things from the angle of others.D. They are intolerant of themselves too.34.In what sense is “tolerance” similar to “generosity”?A. Humans are advised to treat others better.B. Humans learned to find faults in others.C. Humans need to give something to others.D. Humans will change their attitudes to others.35.Whats the text mainly about?A. The origin of the International Day of Tolerance.B. The meaning and importance of tolerance.C. The philosophy behind Bob Marleys song.D. Effective ways to show tolerance.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。Why Accepting Change Is Important to Your Professional Success?Whether you like it or not, change is a necessary part of todays business climate.
