第二部分阅读（满分20分）第一节阅读理解（共3小题；每小题6分，满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

• 5．Michael Priscilla is a young architect with a blog that I follow.In a post，he described how in 2005，he rode coast-to-coast，4，547 miles to Portland，Oregon，and he ended up staying tjye.aire.He thought his experience changed his life.
     The story resonated with me，because when I was 17，the summer before I went into architecture school，I did much the same thing，and it changed my life too.I did not go quite as far，traveling 2，700 miles to Vancouver.
     But it was still a very long way and in 1970，nobody was riding bikes.Our diet only consisted of a loaf of white bread and a jar of peanut butter each meal，or dinner with other people in the campgrounds who were just amazed that we were doing this.Equipment was primitive and we had no sunscreen.
     But，as it was for Michael，it was a life-changing experience.I have never forgotten that everything weighs something and every ounce matters；in architecture I always tended toward light and portable and simple.I learned that people of all ages and origins are generally really，really nice and helpful and friendly.When I got back to architecture school，I saw the world differently，understood space and time differently，and I don't think that ever left me.
     Going with the flow，having a good attitude and just being open to accept whatever happens，is the formula （公式） to having an amazing experience.Worrying and planning too much stops any experience from ever taking place.This is a hard lesson to learn.
     Nowadays，lots of people of all ages are doing it.In America and Europe，bicycle tourism has become a big deal，with one website noting that bicycle vacations are the new golf.Perhaps crossing the entire country is a bit much，but reading Michael's post makes me want to get back on my bike and take a good long ride.
  
  （1）What can we learn about Michael's and the author's cycling？

  
  A．They had great influence on life.
  B．They had the same finishing point.
  C．They took place in the same year.
  D．They covered more than 4，000 miles.
  （2）How can we best describe the author's bicycling experience？

  
  A．Romantic.
  B．Wonderful.
  C．Hard.
  D．Risky.
  （3）What is the purpose of this passage？

  
  A．To introduce a blogger.
  B．To recall an experience.
  C．To explain a phenomenon.
  D．To recommend a tour route.

• 6．Ludwig van Beethoven wrote many famous pieces of music in his life，but he's probably best known for his nine symphonies（交响曲）.
     When Beethoven died in 1827，he had some ideas for a 10th Symphony.But all that he left behind were some notes about the piece and a few sketches.（草图）In 2019.a special team of musicians，and computer scientists was formed.They wanted to complete Beethoven's 10th Symphony to celebrate his 250th birthday.The team didn't just want to complete the symphony.They wanted to come as close as possible to producing the symphony that Beethoven meant to write.That was where deep learning came in.
     To train an Al to help with the symphony，the team turned every piece of music that Beethoven ever wrote into a form the computer could understand.By feeding the program all of Beethoven's music，the Al could look for patterns in the way Beethoven wrote.
     Other members of the team studied Beethoven's notes and sketches，and worked to figure out what Beethoven was planning to do.Where in the symphony did he plan to use each little bit of music that he left？
     One early test told the team they were on the right track.They took a few minutes of music created by the Al based on the short bits of music left by Beethoven，and played it for Beethoven experts，musicians，and reporters.No one could tell which parts had been written by Beethoven and which parts the Al made up.
     Finally，the Al had the challenge of trying to connect the little musical bits into a symphony.
     It took over two years，but the team was able to complete Beethoven's 10th Symphony.So Beethoven now has a 10th Symphony.And though Beethoven didn't write it all，the team feels sure that the music is very much like what he might have written，if he had had the chance.
  
  （1）What does the underlined word That in paragraph 2 refer to？

  
  A．How to improve Beethoven's symphonies.
  B．How to celebrate Beethoven's 250th birthday.
  C．How to complete Beethoven's 10th Symphony quickly.
  D．How to express Beethoven's original thought accurately.
  （2）What did the early test show？

  
  A．The team did a good job.
  B．The Al was a good help to create music.
  C．Beethoven's 10th Symphony was worth making.
  D．The newly- created music was beyond comparison.
  （3）What can be the best title for the passage？

  
  A．The Al Is Applied to Playing Classic Music.
  B．The Process of Beethoven's Creation of Music.
  C．Beethoven's Last but the Most Famous Symphony.
  D．Musicians Use Al to Help Finish Beethoven's Music.

• 7．Men's consumption habits are worse for the planet than women's，according to a new study.For the study，consumption-based greenhouse gas （GHG） emissions（排放） were measured for the average individual，the average single male，and the average single woman.These were 6.9，10，and8.5 tonnes per capita per year respectively，and more than half of those amounts were due to food，holidays，and furnishings.
     What's interesting is that single men and women spend similar amounts of money on consumer goods，but men's choices lead to 16% more GHG emissions than women's.That is because they choose to spend money on things like cars and driving，rather than taking public transportation or trains，as women are more willing to do.More of men's money goes toward alcohol，tobacco，and eating out，while women often spend money on clothes，home furnishings，and health-based purchases.
     Curiously，there were no differences in the carbon footprints of men's and women's diets.While men tend to eat more meat，women make up for that in dairy products，which are also carbon- intensive（碳密集）foods.
     Lead study author Mannikin Okayama says she wasn't surprised by the findings because previous research had showed similar differences between single men and women regarding energy use.Instead，she expressed surprise at the fact that more studies haven't been done on gender differences in environmental impact. "There are quite clear differences and they are not likely to go away in the near future.
     The purpose of the study was to examine where individuals could make changes to their consumption habits in order to shrink their carbon footprints.The researchers looked for ways that would require minimal additional spending，so as to be more accessible to a greater number of people.They found that only switching to plant-based diets and train-based holidays can reduce emissions by 40%.
     Policy-makers would do well to pay attention to this if they want to get serious in the fight against global warming.
  
  （1）What do single men and single women have in common？

  
  A．They take public transportation.
  B．They choose carbon-intensive foods.
  C．They spend money on the same things.
  D．They are concerned about climate change.
  （2）What surprised Okayama？

  
  A．Men seldom show interest in dairy products.
  B．Single men and women are different in energy use.
  C．The gender differences had existed for such a long time.
  D．Lack of findings in gender differences in climate change.
  （3）What did the study prove？

  
  A．Gender differences have long existed.
  B．Global warming is getting much worse.
  C．Reducing carbon emission is not so difficult.
  D．Consumption habits vary from person to person.
  （4）What is this passage mainly about？

  
  A．The measures to reduce carbon e missions.
  B．The new data about greenhouse gas emissions.
  C．The consuming differences between single men and women.
  D．The link between consumption habits and carbon footprints.

• 9．Signs of an Eating Disorder About 30 million Americans live with an eating disorder.Some symptoms of an eating disorder may be more visible to the eyes.（1）

  It's important to know the symptoms in those who might be at risk of an eating disorder.
     Firstly，they are constantly talking about dieting.（2）

  Look at any lifestyle magazine or website，and you will likely find dieting tips and advice.However，being trapped in that discussion is a different story.If someone you love is constantly talking about food or their dieting habits，it might be a sign of concerns.
     Secondly，their fitness or eating habits are constantly out of the ordinary.Changes in mood or behaviors surrounding food or exercise can be signs of concern.This could mean a switch in activity level like over-exercising，too often counting calories，frequently visiting the bathroom after eating，fasting（禁食）or eating too much. （3）

  .
     Thirdly，avoiding interactions such as birthday parties or going out to dinner with friends is a significant danger signal.People living with the condition have an intense focus on food or body image.（4）

  They will keep away from situations - likely ones that once brought them joy - where that determination might be tested.
     The best way to support someone who may be experiencing an eating disorder is by talking with them，but when and how you do it matters.（5）

  Approach them with love and compassion（同情），and let them know that you care about them and that you notice there is something they may be struggling with.
  
  A.Yet many others are often hidden in plain sight.
  B.This also might come with noticeable weight loss or gain.
  C.They are constantly turning down food-centric social gathering.
