A

(2019·全国卷Ⅱ) Marian Bechtel sits at West Palm Beach's Bar Louie counter by herself，quietly reading her e-book as she waits for her salad.What is she reading？None of your business！Lunch is Bechtel's “me”time.And like more Americans，she's not alone.

A new report found 46 percent of meals are eaten alone in America.More than half (53 percent)have breakfast alone and nearly half (46 percent)have lunch by themselves.Only at dinnertime are we eating together anymore,74 percent，according to statistics from the report.

“I prefer to go out and be out.Alone，but together，you know？” Bechtel said，looking up from her book.Bechtel，who works in downtown West Palm Beach，has lunch with coworkers sometimes，but like many of us，too often works through lunch at her desk.A lunchtime escape allows her to keep a boss from tapping her on the shoulder.She returns to work feeling energized.“Today，I just wanted some time to myself，”she said.

Just two seats over，Andrew Mazoleny，a local video-grapher，is finishing his lunch at the bar.He likes that he can sit and check his phone in peace or chat up the barkeeper with whom he's on a first-name basis if he wants to have a little interaction(交流)．“I reflect on how my day's gone and think about the rest of the week，” he said.“It's a chance for self-reflection.You return to

work recharged and with a plan.”

That freedom to choose is one reason more people like to eat alone.There was a time when people may have felt awkward about asking for a table for one，but those days are over.Now，we have our smartphones to keep us company at the table.“It doesn't feel as alone as it may have before all the advances in technology，”said Laurie Demeritt，whose company provided the statistics for the report.

文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了现在的美国人多数喜欢独自一人吃饭，他们喜欢这种独处带来的自由。

1．What are the statistics in paragraph 2 about？ B

A．Food variety. B．Eating habits.

C．Table manners. D．Restaurant service.

解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的大部分人独自吃早饭或午饭，一起吃晚饭的数据可知，这是对美国人的饮食习惯进行了调查，故答案为B。

2．Why does Bechtel prefer to go out for lunch？ C

A．To meet with her coworkers.

B．To catch up with her work.

C．To have some time on her own.

D．To collect data for her report.

解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“I just wanted some time to myself (我只是想给自己一点儿时间)”可知，Bechtel更喜欢出去吃午饭的原因是想拥有自己的时间，故答案为C。

3．What do we know about Mazoleny？ D

A．He makes videos for the bar.

B．He's fond of the food at the bar.

C．He interviews customers at the bar.

D．He's familiar with the barkeeper.

解析：推理判断题。根据题干中的Mazoleny可定位到第四段，“...chat up the barkeeper with whom he's on a first-name basis if he wants to have a little interaction.”中的be on a first-name basis的意思是“关系好，可以直呼其名”，由此可知Mazoleny与酒吧服务员很熟，

故答案为D。

4．What is the text mainly about？ A

A．The trend of having meals alone.

B．The importance of self-reflection.

C．The stress from working overtime.

D．The advantage of wireless technology.

解析：主旨大意题。根据第一、三、四段的例子，第二段的数据以及最后一段中的第一句“That freedom to choose is one reason more people like to eat alone.”再次提及的eat alone可知，本文主要说了独自用餐已经逐渐成为一种趋势，故答案为A。

B

(2019·浙江卷) California has lost half its big trees since the 1930s，according to a study to be published Tuesday and climate change seems to be a major factor(因素)．

The number of trees larger than two feet across has declined by 50 percent on more than 46,000 square miles of California forests，the new study finds.No area was spared or unaffected，from the foggy northern coast to the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the San Gabriels above Los Angeles.In the Sierra high country，the number of big trees has fallen by more than 55 percent；in parts of southern California the decline was nearly 75 percent.

Many factors contributed to the decline，said Patrick McIntyre，an ecologist who was the lead author of the study.Woodcutters targeted big trees.Housing development pushed into the woods.Aggressive wildfire control has left California forests crowded with small trees that compete with big trees for resources(资源)．

But in comparing a study of California forests done in the 1920s and 1930s with another one between 2001 and 2010，McIntyre and his colleagues documented a widespread death of big trees that was evident even in wildlands protected from woodcutting or development.

The loss of big trees was greatest in areas where trees had suffered the greatest water shortage.The researchers figured out water stress with a computer model that calculated how much water trees were getting in comparison with how much they needed，taking into account such things as rainfall，air temperature，dampness of soil，and the timing of snowmelt(融雪)．Since the 1930s，McIntyre said，the biggest factors driving up water stress in the state have been rising temperatures，which cause trees to lose more water to the air，and earlier snowmelt，which reduces the water supply available to trees during the dry season.

文章大意：本文是一篇调查报告。调查表明，加利福尼亚州的大树变少了，而气候变化是其中的一个主要因素。

5．What is the second paragraph mainly about？ A

A．The seriousness of big-tree loss in California.

B．The increasing variety of California big trees.

C．The distribution of big trees in California forests.

D．The influence of farming on big trees in California.

解析：主旨大意题。第二段中通过列举一系列数字表明，加利福尼亚州的大树减少的严重性，故A项正确。

6．Which of the following is well-intentioned but may be bad for big trees？ D

A．Ecological studies of forests.

B．Banning woodcutting.

C．Limiting housing development.

D．Fire control measures.

解析：推理判断题。文章第三段提到了造成加利福尼亚州的大树减少的三个因素：woodcutters，housing development与aggressive wildfire control。前两个因素直接与大树的减少有关，如果能控制住，大树就不会减少；而第三个因素——控制野火的措施使得加利福尼亚州的森林里满是跟大树争夺资源的小树，初衷是为了控制野火，这是好的，实则对大树不利，故D项正确。

7．What is a major cause of the water shortage according to McIntyre？ C

A．Inadequate snowmelt.

B．A longer dry season.

C．A warmer climate.

D．Dampness of the air.

解析：细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中的“...the biggest factors driving up water stress in the state have been rising temperatures...”可知，水不足的主要原因就是气温升高(rising temperatures)，即更加温暖的气候，故C项正确。

8．What can be a suitable title for the text？ A

A．California's Forests：Where Have All the Big Trees Gone?

B．Cutting of Big Trees to Be Prohibited in California Soon

C．Why Are the Big Trees Important to California Forests?

D．Patrick McIntyre：Grow More Big Trees in California

解析：标题归纳题。本文是一篇调查报告，第一段就点出主题：California has lost half its big trees since the 1930s。后面具体分析了加利福尼亚州大树的现状、造成大树减少的原因等，A项作为标题最合适。

Section_ⅠWarming Up & Reading — Pre-reading 1．What are the advantages and disadvantages of cloning? 2．Not only animals but also plants can be cloned. Do you know the difference between them? Please read the following passage to get the answer. A new study of plants that are reproduced by cloning has shown why cloned plants are not identical. Scientists have known for some time that cloned organisms are not always identical: their observable characteristics and traits can vary, and this variation can be passed on to the next generation. This is despite the fact that they are derived (获得) from genetically identical founder cells. Now, a team from Oxford University, the UK, and King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, Saudi Arabia, believe they have found out why this is the case in plants: the genomes (染色体) of regenerate plants carry relatively high frequencies of new DNA sequence mutations (变异) that were not present in the genome of the donor plant. The team reported their findings in this week’s Current Biology. “Where these new mutations actually come from is still a mystery，” said Professor Harberd. “They may arise during the regeneration process itself or during the cell divisions in the donor plant that gave rise to the root cells from which the regenerate plants are created. We are planning further research to find out which of these two processes is responsible for these mutations. What we can say
