【解析】

短文主要讲了我们认为一日三餐是理所当然的,但是专家们认为粮食危机即将到来。世界人口的增长迫切需要粮食。世界人口在增加,资源正在减少,食品价格在上涨。因此,我们需要重新思考我们每天吃的东西。

1句意:我们认为一日三餐是理所当然的,但是专家们认为粮食危机即将到来。

考查连词,A. And 和;B. But但是;C. Or或者;D. Until直到。前后句是转折关系,but 意为“但是”,表转折关系。此处位于句首,首字母大写。故 But 符合题意。故正确答案为B

2句意:危机将会使我们改变对食物的看法。

考查使役动词,change 意为“改变”。make sb. do sth. 为固定搭配,意为“使某人做某事”,故此处使用动词原形。因此 change 符合题意。故正确答案为A

3句意:由于人口增长,食物需求量很大。

考查连词,A. since自从;B. because 因为,后跟完整的句子;C. because of因为,后跟短语或名词等;D. as当,作为。because of 意为“由于,因为”,表原因,符合题意。故正确答案为C

4句意:结果,食品价格越来越高。

考查形容词比较级,high高,higher更高,highest最高,higher and higher越来越高,much可以修饰比较级,结合句意,故正确答案为C

5句意:那么,一个饥饿拥挤的世界能做些什么呢?

考查情态动词,A. may 可能;B. should应该;C. must一定,必须;D. can能够,结合句意,这里是应该是表推测,can 更符合,故正确答案为D

6句意:一个建议是少吃肉。

考查形容词,A. less更少;B. more更多;C. much多;D. little少,根据“Meat uses more natural resources than grains. 肉类比谷物使用更多的自然资源。”所以应该是建议少吃肉,故正确答案为A

7句意:少吃一点肉可以给农业耕作多提供一些土地,并节约用水。

考查不定式,观察句子,这里已经有谓语动词,那么需要非谓语,结合句意这里应该需要动词不定式表目的,provide 意为“提供”,故正确答案为B

8句意:它还需要比蔬菜多510倍的水。

考查介词,A. of…的;B. for为了;C. among三者或者三者以上之间 D. between两者之间,这里用的是“between…and….”,故正确答案为D

9句意:所以,少吃肉会为农业提供更多的土地,而且会节约用水。

考查动名词,观察句子这里是说为农业提供种植的土地,far作动词表示从事种植,用在介词for后,应该用V.ing形式,故正确答案为A

10句意:这可不容易。

考查形容词,A. easily容易地;B. easier更容易的;C. easy容易的;D. easiest最容易的,观察句子,这里没有比较,并且是作表语,故正确答案为C

11句意:一般来说,他们吃的肉是其他国家人的两倍。

考查词汇辨析,A. another三者或三者以上另一个;B. the other两者中的另一个;C. others其余的/剩余的(事或物);D. other其他的+名词,故正确答案为D

12句意:到2050年,这一数字将再翻一番。

考查代词,A. Them他们,宾格;B. They他们,主格;C. Their他们的,后跟名词;D. Theirs他们的,相当于their+n.。观察句子这里做主语,they指代上文的数据,故正确答案为B

13句意:不断增长的肉类需求将继续给自然资源带来压力。

考查动词时态,A. will continue一般将来时;B. continued一般过去时;C. continue一般现在时;D. have continued现在完成时,结合句意,这里应该用一般将来时,故正确答案为A

14句意:因此,我们需要重新考虑我们每天吃什么。

考查疑问词,A. how怎样;B. when何时;C. what 什么;D. where哪里,结合结合句意,应该是说吃什么,故正确答案为C

15句意:对于肉食爱好者来说,我们不需要完全放弃肉食。

考查词汇辨析,结合下文 But we need to eat more grains and less meat 可知,我们需要多吃谷物少吃肉。因此本句应表达对于喜欢吃肉的人来说,不必完全放弃吃肉,只是要少吃一些。completely 意为“完全地,彻底地”,副词,修饰 give up,符合题意。故正确答案为B

【题目】 In northern Italy, there is a city that everybody should visit at least once. The name of that city is Venice, and it is different from every other city in the world.

Venice is a group of 118 small islands. The islands are c1 to each other by bridges. Venice is unique because it doesn't have any streets at all. In fact, Venice doesn't even have any cars or buses. Instead of streets, Venice has canals. Instead of driving in cars, the people ride in boats.

Because Venice doesn't have any cars, the feeling there is very different. You don't need to worry about traffic, and you don't hear engines or honking horns. Plus, since there are no cars, there is very little p2.

Venice has changed very l3 in the last 600 years. A lot of visitors who go there feel like they are entering the past. When you see the old churches, the silent boats and the stone bridges, you will probably have that feeling y4.

Many of the buildings in Venice are from the Renaissance. The Renaissance was a time w5 there are many artists, writers and poets all over Europe. Some of the world's best art was made during the Renaissance. You can see that art when you look at the city's buildings.

One of Venice's most famous spots is St. Mark's Square. This square has three things to see. The first is St. Mark's Basilica. This is the most famous church in Venice, and it's more than 1,000 years old. Doge's Palace is about 600 years old. Today it's a museum, and it's one of Venice's top a6. On the north side of the square is 500-year-old building called the Clock Tower. It was built to show visitors the wealth of Venice.

Venice is like no other city in the world. It's a l7 museum. And visiting it is an experience that you will never forget.

【题目】 Nearly 50% of all workers in the United States have jobs they aren’t happy with. Don’t let this happen to you! If you want to find the right job, don’t rush to look through the ads in the newspaper. Instead, sit down and think about yourself. What kind of person are you? What makes you happy?

According to John Holland who studies personalities, there are six types. Nobody is just one personality type, but most people are mainly one type. For each type, there are certain jobs that might be right and others that are probably wrong.

Six Types of Personalities

★The Realistic type is practical and likes working with machines and tools.

★The Investigative(研究的) type is interested in all the new things and likes to learn, study situations, and solve problems.

★The Artistic type is imaginative and likes to express himself or herself by creating.

★The Social type is friendly and likes helping or training other people.

★The Enterprising(有进取心的) type is outgoing and likes to lead other people.

★The Conventional(传统的) type is careful and likes to follow routines and details.

Considering your personality type can help you make the right job decision. Liz was one of the people who were not sure about their jobs. She knew she wanted to do something for children, so she thought she could help children as a school counselor(顾问) or a lawyer. She took counseling and law courses—but hated them. After talking to a career counselor, she found that these jobs didn’t suit her. She is more interested in films, so she studied film and she now produces children’s TV shows—and loves it.

B.Think about what you can do for your family.
