Every neighborhood needs a bookstore. One inspired woman took this mission to heart and opened her dream bookstore. Bronx Bound Books is a community project on wheels, ensuring everyone in the neighborhood has a bookstore nearby.
Ever since DeVaughn was a child, she dreamed of opening a bookstore. Adopted by her grandmother, she spent many childhood hours exploring bookshops. “My grandmother was an educator in the South Bronx,” DeVaughn explained. “She read to the people in our community who couldn’t read. Some people’s lives depended on the information she gave them.”
Although her grandmother had passed away, DeVaughn never forgot her dream. She knew her thought was important as the nearest bookstore was one hour away. It was hard for local people to get books. After she was introduced to the idea of a mobile bookshop, she soon wanted to put it into practice.
DeVaughn understood that the community was the most important aspect to ensure the success of this project, so she began by reaching out to friends and neighbors.“Your community is the most valuable resource when you start a small business,”she said.“If you’re determined enough to let them know what you want, they’ll try their best to make it happen for you.”She collected used books from friends and good neighbors and received a small business loan. Soon she had a bus, loads of books, and kindness from lots of warm-hearted helpers.
DeVaughn soon realized that she was making a huge impact on the community. Now she has plans to partner with schools and book fairs, and even get a second bus. Not only is DeVaughn inspiring people in her community to purchase their cherished books and enjoy reading, but her own family also benefit from her encouraging action.

There are hundreds of types of birthday cake in the world. You are likely to enjoy one during at least one of your birthday parties. But have you ever stopped and wondered, “Why am I eating this What makes this dessert fit to celebrate the day of my birth ”
It’s because you are as important and beloved as the gods.
The ancient Egyptians are thought to have “invented” the celebration of birthdays. They believed when pharaohs (法老) were crowned, they became gods, so their coronation (加冕) day was their “birth” as a god.
Ancient Greeks borrowed the tradition, but realized that a dessert would make the celebration more meaningful. So they baked moon-shaped cakes to offer up to the goddess of the moon. They decorated them with lighted candles to make the cakes shine like the moon. It is the reason why we light our birthday cakes on fire.
Modern birthday parties are said to get their roots from an 18th century German celebration. On the morning of a child’s birthday, he or she would receive a cake with lighted candles that added up to the kid’s age, plus one. This extra candle was called the “light of life,” representing the hope of another full year lived.
And then, torture — because no one could eat the cake until after dinner. The family replaced the candles as they burned out throughout the day. Finally, when the moment came, the birthday child would make a wish, try to blow out all the candles in one breath, and dig in.
Since the ingredients (原料) to make cakes were pretty expensive, this birthday custom didn’t become popular until the Industrial Revolution. More ingredients were available, which made them cheaper, and bakeries even started selling pre-baked cakes.
23. What is the passage mainly about
A. The origin of birthday cakes. B. The significance of birthday cakes.
C. The history of birthday parties. D. The introduction of cake production.
24. Who established the tradition of celebrating birthdays with cakes according to the passage
A. Germans. B. Pharaohs.
C. Ancient Greeks. D. Ancient Egyptians.
25. The underlined word “torture” in Paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. pleasure B. replacement
C. sharing D. suffering
26 Why was the birthday cake custom unpopular before the Industrial Revolution
A. The transport was inconvenient.
B. The ingredients of cakes were expensive.
C The cake could not be eaten before dinner.
D. The bakeries would not sell pre-baked cakes.
D
Last year, Americans spent more than $22 billion on chocolate. But the tasty treat comes at a far greater cost than this.
That’s because farmers often cut down trees in the rainforest when they need more land to plant cacao trees. This contributes to climate (气候) change. In turn, climate change hurts cacao crops (产量). This puts chocolate at risk. But experts are developing solutions to ensure its future.
Chocolate comes mainly from the Cocoa Belt, a narrow piece of land along the equator. In the Cocoa Belt, it is hot and rainy. The conditions are perfect for growing cacao. But in recent years, climate change has a bad influence on the weather in the Cocoa Belt. As a result, cacao trees produce fewer beans. Climate change has also led to the spread of disease that harms trees.
In 2013, researchers studied the changing conditions in the Cocoa Belt. They said that by2050, it will be harder to grow cacao in 90% of places where it is now planted. But Christian Bunn of the International Center for Tropical Agriculture says chocolate won’t disappear anytime soon. Plans to protect it are already taking shape.
One solution to the problem is cross-breeding (杂交) Scientists have developed new cacao trees that stand up to disease. Some even produce more cacao.
Weather stations will also help. Groups are building them in Africa. Around 70% of cacao is grown there. Information from the stations will help farmers know when to plant trees. “Years back, farmers would follow farming rules that go with the seasons,” Bunn said. “Those rules don't always apply anymore.”
These fixes could help farmers grow more cacao on less land. That could help end the push to clear rainforest. That’s good for chocolate, and a sweet deal for the planet. “Everything has a side effect,” Bunn said. “We have to be smarter about our food.”
27. What causes a drop in cacao crops according to the text
A. Higher costs. B. Less farmland.
C. Water pollution. D. Climate change.
28. What do the underlined words “stand up to” in paragraph 5 probably mean
A. Go with. B. Die from. C. Protect against. D. Bring about.
29. What is the author’s attitude to the chocolate protection plans
A. Doubtful. B. Uncaring. C. Positive. D. Disapproving.
30. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Solutions to Saving Chocolate B. An End to Traditional Farming
C. New Ways to Plant Cacao Trees D. Measures to Protect Rainforest

Every neighborhood needs a bookstore. One inspired woman took this mission to heart and opened her dream bookstore. Bronx Bound Books is a community project on wheels, ensuring everyone in the neighborhood has a bookstore nearby.
Ever since DeVaughn was a child, she dreamed of opening a bookstore.

Some people’s lives depended on the information she gave them.”
Although her grandmother had passed away, DeVaughn never forgot her dream. She knew her thought was important as the nearest bookstore was one hour away. It was hard for local people to get books. After she was introduced to the idea of a mobile bookshop, she soon wanted to put it into practice.
DeVaughn understood that the community was the most important aspect to ensure the success of this project, so she began by reaching out to friends and neighbors.“Your community is the most valuable resource when you start a small business,”she said.“If you’re determined enough to let them know what you want, they’ll try their best to make it happen for you.”She collected used books from friends and good neighbors and received a small business loan. Soon she had a bus, loads of books, and kindness from lots of warm-hearted helpers.
DeVaughn soon realized that she was making a huge impact on the community. Now she has plans to partner with schools and book fairs, and even get a second bus. Not only is DeVaughn inspiring people in her community to purchase their cherished books and enjoy reading, but her own family also benefit from her encouraging action.

There are hundreds of types of birthday cake in the world. You are likely to enjoy one during at least one of your birthday parties. But have you ever stopped and wondered, “Why am I eating this What makes this dessert fit to celebrate the day of my birth ”
It’s because you are as important and beloved as the gods.
The ancient Egyptians are thought to have “invented” the celebration of birthdays. They believed when pharaohs (法老) were crowned, they became gods, so their coronation (加冕) day was their “birth” as a god.
Ancient Greeks borrowed the tradition, but realized that a dessert would make the celebration more meaningful. So they baked moon-shaped cakes to offer up to the goddess of the moon. They decorated them with lighted candles to make the cakes shine like the moon. It is the reason why we light our birthday cakes on fire.
Modern birthday parties are said to get their roots from an 18th century German celebration. On the morning of a child’s birthday, he or she would receive a cake with lighted candles that added up to the kid’s age, plus one. This extra candle was called the “light of life,” representing the hope of another full year lived.
And then, torture — because no one could eat the cake until after dinner. The family replaced the candles as they burned out throughout the day. Finally, when the moment came, the birthday child would make a wish, try to blow out all the candles in one breath, and dig in.
Since the ingredients (原料) to make cakes were pretty expensive, this birthday custom didn’t become popular until the Industrial Revolution. More ingredients were available, which made them cheaper, and bakeries even started selling pre-baked cakes.
23. What is the passage mainly about
A. The origin of birthday cakes. B. The significance of birthday cakes.
C. The history of birthday parties. D. The introduction of cake production.
24. Who established the tradition of celebrating birthdays with cakes according to the passage
A. Germans. B. Pharaohs.
C. Ancient Greeks. D. Ancient Egyptians.
25. The underlined word “torture” in Paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. pleasure B. replacement
C. sharing D. suffering
26 Why was the birthday cake custom unpopular before the Industrial Revolution
A. The transport was inconvenient.
B. The ingredients of cakes were expensive.
C. The cake could not be eaten before dinner.
D. The bakeries would not sell pre-baked cakes.
【答案】23. A 24. C 25. D 26. B
【解析】

【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段Ancient Greeks borrowed the tradition, but realized that a dessert would make the celebration more meaningful. So they baked moon-shaped cakes to offer up to the goddess of the moon. They decorated them with lighted candles to make the cakes shine like the moon. It is the reason why we light our birthday cakes on fire.古希腊人借鉴了这一传统，但意识到甜点会让庆祝活动更有意义。所以他们烤月亮形状的蛋糕来供奉给月亮女神。他们用点燃的蜡烛装饰蛋糕，使蛋糕像月亮一样闪闪发光。这就是我们为什么把生日蛋糕点着的原因。所以是古希腊人建立了用蛋糕庆祝生日的传统。故选C。
【25题详解】

细节理解题。Since the ingredients (原料) to make cakes were pretty expensive, this birthday custom didn’t become popular until the Industrial Revolution.因为制作蛋糕原料非常贵，直到工业革命生日蛋糕风俗才受欢迎。所以在工业革命前生日蛋糕风俗不受欢迎的原因是原料很贵。故选B。

Last year, Americans spent more than $22 billion on chocolate. But the tasty treat comes at a far greater cost than this.
That’s because farmers often cut down trees in the rainforest when they need more land to plant cacao trees. This contributes to climate (气候) change. In turn, climate change hurts cacao crops (产量). This puts chocolate at risk. But experts are developing solutions to ensure its future.
Chocolate comes mainly from the Cocoa Belt, a narrow piece of land along the equator. In the Cocoa Belt, it is hot and rainy. The conditions are perfect for growing cacao. But in recent years, climate change has a bad influence on the weather in the Cocoa Belt. As a result, cacao trees produce fewer beans. Climate change has also led to the spread of disease that harms trees.
In 2013, researchers studied the changing conditions in the Cocoa Belt. They said that by2050, it will be harder to grow cacao in 90% of places where it is now planted. But Christian Bunn of the International Center for Tropical Agriculture says chocolate won’t disappear anytime soon. Plans to protect it are already taking shape.
One solution to the problem is cross-breeding (杂交). Scientists have developed new cacao trees that stand up to disease. Some even produce more cacao.
Weather stations will also help. Groups are building them in Africa. Around 70% of cacao is grown there. Information from the stations will help farmers know when to plant trees. “Years back, farmers would follow farming rules that go with the seasons,” Bunn said. “Those rules don't always apply anymore.”
These fixes could help farmers grow more cacao on less land. That could help end the push to clear rainforest. That’s good for chocolate, and a sweet deal for the planet. “Everything has a side effect,” Bunn said. “We have to be smarter about our food.”
27. What causes a drop in cacao crops according to the text
A. Higher costs. B. Less farmland.
C. Water pollution. D. Climate change.
28. What do the underlined words “stand up to” in paragraph 5 probably mean
A. Go with. B. Die from. C. Protect against. D. Bring about.
29. What is the author’s attitude to the chocolate protection plans
A. Doubtful. B. Uncaring. C. Positive. D. Disapproving.
30. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Solutions to Saving Chocolate B. An End to Traditional Farming
C. New Ways to Plant Cacao Trees D. Measures to Protect Rainforest
【答案】27. D 28. C 29. C 30. A
【解析】

【28题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Climate change has also led to the spread of disease that harms trees. (气候变化也导致了危害树木的疾病的传播。)”和划线词句前文“One solution to the problem is cross-breeding.(解决这个问题的一个办法是杂交育种。)”及后文“Some even produce more cacao. (有些甚至能生产更多的可可。)”说明科学家有办法防止树木的疾病，从而推知划线词句“Scientists have developed new cacao trees that stand up to disease. (科学家们已经开发出了能够stand up to疾病的新型可可树。)”其中划线短语意思是“防止”。故选C项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“These fixes could help farmers grow more cacao on less land. (这些补救措施可以帮助农民在更少的土地上种植更多的可可。)”可知，作者对这些措施持肯定态度。故选C项。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第二段中“In turn, climate change hurts cacao crops (产量). This puts chocolate at risk. But experts are developing solutions to ensure its future. (反过来，气候变化损害了可可作物。这使巧克力处于危险之中。但专家们正在开发解决方案，以确保它的未来。)”可知，本文主要介绍气候变化导致可可减产，进而引发巧克力生产处于危险之中，对此，相关专家提出应对的解决方案。A项“拯救巧克力的解决方案”符合主题，故选A项。

It’s common to feel hungry and take a snack throughout the day. ____31____ But if you find yourself always feeling hungry and reaching for a snack, you might ask yourself: Am I really hungry, or am I bored
What type of hunger
There are different types of hunger: Physical hunger and psychological (心理的) hunger. If you are feeling physical effects of hunger, like a rumbling (辘辘声的) stomach or a headache, your body is in need of food to keep going. But if you “think” you’re hungry, it might be psychological hunger.
Hunger is a normal sense that makes you want to eat. Your body tells your brain that your stomach is empty. Avoid going long periods without eating or eating very large meals. ____32____
Am I hungry
One tip to avoid filling your psychological hunger is to wait 20 to 30 minutes after you first “feel” hungry. ____33____ If you have some illness that requires blood sugar levels, then you’ll want to follow your doctor’s suggestions.
Plan ahead
____34____ Have an idea to fill the time and avoid boredom, like taking a walk, reading a book or completing a task. Keeping a food diary for a week can be a powerful tool for you to become more aware of your eating habits and possible causes for emotional eating. ____35____ Often, being thirsty and dehydration (脱水) can be misunderstood as hunger. Next time you want a snack, try drinking a glass of water first!
A. You are struggling with being fat.
B. You can take measures in advance for it.
C. Moreover, you can try drinking a glass of water.
D. Hunger usually makes some people feel unhappy.
E. If, after that time, you are still hungry, it’s time to eat.
F. In fact, if it is done properly, there’s nothing wrong with it.
G. Instead, take a moment to consider the type of hunger before eating.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要说明如何分辨自己是否是真的饥饿，以及解决无聊时不断进食的问题。
【31题详解】
根据前文“It’s common to feel hungry and take a snack throughout the day.(一天中感到饥饿和吃零食是很常见的)”可知，一感到饥饿就吃东西是一种普遍现象，F项“事实上，如果做得好，并没有什么问题”是对上句的承接，且F项中的假设“if it is done properly”与下句中的假设“But if you find yourself always feeling hungry and reaching for a snack(但如果你发现自己总是觉得饿，想要吃点零食)”形成对比，引出了下句，故选F。
【32题详解】
根据本段小标题“What type of hunger (什么类型的饥饿？)”以及前文“Avoid going long periods without eating or eating very large meals.(避免长时间不吃东西或吃得太多)”可知，本段主要是讲要区分饥饿类型，空处与前文是讲述区分饥饿类型后建议采取的措施，G项“相反，在吃东西之前，花点时间考虑一下饥饿的类型”符合语境，故选G。
【33题详解】
上文“One tip to avoid filling your psychological hunger is to wait 20 to 30 minutes after you first ‘feel’ hungry.(避免填补心理饥饿感的一个建议是，在你第一次‘感到’饥饿后再等20到30分钟)”提到第一次‘感到’饥饿后再等20到30分钟，空处应是描述这段时间之后的情况，E项“如果过了这段时间，你还是觉得饿，那就该吃东西了”顺承上文，符合语境，E项中的“that time”指代上文的“20 to 30 minutes”，故选E。
【34题详解】
根据小标题“Plan ahead(提前计划)”可知，本段主要是说要提前计划，B项“你可以提前采取措施”与小标题呼应，故选B。
【35题详解】
上文“Have an idea to fill the time and avoid boredom, like taking a walk, reading a book or completing a task. Keeping a food diary for a week can be a powerful tool for you to become more aware of your eating habits and possible causes for emotional eating.(想一个办法来填补时间，避免无聊，比如散步，读书或完成一项任务。保持一周的饮食日记可以成为一个强大的工具，让你更加了解你的饮食习惯和可能导致情绪化饮食的原因)”提到了两个具体的应对假性饥饿的措施，C项“此外，你可以试着喝一杯水”也是一个应对措施，同时引出下文“Often, being thirsty and dehydration (脱水) can be misunderstood as hunger. Next time you want a snack, try drinking a glass of water first!(通常，口渴和脱水会被误解为饥饿。下次你想吃零食的时候，试着先喝杯水)”有关饥饿和饮水的叙述，故选C。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要介绍了油纸伞是中国传统文化的象征，刘伟学学习制作油纸伞并在不同的活动中展示这项艺术，希望这项艺术可以传承下去。
【51题详解】
考查时态。句意：油纸伞在中国有一千多年的历史，曾经随处可见。根据时间状语once可知，空处谓语动词应用一般过去时，且要与主语they保持主谓一致，所以应用复数形式were。故填were。
【52题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意：现在人们在日常生活中使用手工制作的伞比以前少了。根据下文than before可知，空处应填形容词little的比较级形式less，表示“更少”。故填less。
【53题详解】
考查形容词。句意：然而，它们是中国传统文化的象征。分析句子可知，空处应填形容词traditional“传统的”，作定语，修饰名词culture。故填traditional。
【54题详解】
考查动名词。句意：杭州余杭以制作油纸伞而闻名，已有230多年的历史。分析句子可知，空处应填动词make“制作”的动名词形式making，作介词for的宾语。故填making。
【55题详解】
考查代词。句意：做一把伞至少需要至少一个星期。分析句子可知，空处涉及固定句型“It takes +时间+ to do sth.”表示“花费多长时间做某事”，其中It 作形式主语，不定式作真正的主语。故填It。
【56题详解】
考查介词。句意：2015年，刘伟学辞去了高薪工作，向祖父学习这门艺术。分析句子可知，空处涉及固定搭配learn sth. from sb.，表示“向某人学习某物”。故填from。
【57题详解】
考查表语从句。句意：下雨的时候，有人打油纸伞，这就是我想看到的。分析句子可知，空处引导一个表语从句，需要填入连接代词what，充当从句中see的宾语。故填what。
【58题详解】
考查不定冠词。句意：当他掌握了这些技能后，他在余杭成立了一个工作室，在那里他聚集了制作雨伞的大师。分析句子结构可知，本空为句子谓语，故本空为非谓语，结合句意可知事情发生在过去，故句子用一般过去时。且studio与start“创办”为被动关系，故此处用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was started。
【59题详解】
考查不定式。句意：为了卖雨伞，刘先生在2017年开了一家网店。分析句子可知，本句已有谓语动词opened，因此空处应填非谓语动词，又因空处作目的状语，所以需要sell“卖”的不定式形式to sell，句首单词首字母大写。故填To sell。
【60题详解】
考查名词。句意：他还出现在不同地方的赛事和活动中，向更多的人展示艺术。根据并列连词and前的名词events可知，空处需要填入可数名词activity“活动”的复数形式activities。故填activities。
