But while it may seem like such issues wont affect most of us directly, it looks like future generations could grow up without something that many of us now take for granted: chocolate. According to an essay published by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, changes to the climate in the regions that produce cacao the plant from which chocolate is produced may mean that it will soon bee extinct. Most of the worlds cacao grows in countries close to the equator(赤道), with over half of it growing in the African nations of Ghana and Ivory Coast. Its predicted that by 2050, climate change will have accelerated the rate at which temperatures in these countries rise, making it extremely difficult for cacao to grow there. The problem doesnt lie in increased heat, however, but in lower humidity (湿度), as its believed that rainfall will stay at the same level if the temperature rises. “In other words, as higher temperatures squeeze more water out of soil and plants, its unlikely that rainfall will increase enough to offset the moisture(水分) loss,” Michon Scott, the essays author, wrote. To help fight this problem, researchers from Berkeley University in the US are working on changing the DNA of cacao plants to allow them to survive in dryer conditions by using gene editing technology, according to US News. In the meantime, US pany Mars, one of the worlds biggest manufacturers of chocolate products, announced in January that it would spend $1 billion (6.33 billion yuan) to help reduce the effects of climate change. “This is a world issue, and it requires everyone to work together,” Mars spokesperson Barry Parkin told Business Insider. The message here is that if we all do our part, we may be able to prevent some of the worst impacts of climate change. Or if were unlucky, chocolate will bee a thing of the past.24. What could make it hard for cacao to grow around the equator in the future?A. the higher temperatures thereB. the higher humidity thereC. the increase in rainfall thereD. the moisture loss in the soil there 25. What did Barry Parkin suggest?A. No man is an island.B. Every little bit counts.C. United we stand; divided we fall.D. Wish for the best; prepare for the worst.26. What can we learn from the passage?A. UC Berkeley is trying to find a substitute for cacao. B. Cacao can only be found in most African countries.C. Climate changes can be controlled if we are lucky.D. Mars will financially support the fight against climate changes.27. What is the passage mainly about?A. The origin of chocolate.B. The future of chocolate.C. The history of chocolate.D. The ingredients of chocolate. CHave you ever felt like nobody was there? Have you ever felt forgotten in the middle of nowhere? Have you ever felt like you could disappear? Like you could fall, and no one would hear? Well, youre not alone.In a time when it seems like everyone is consumed by social media, the Broadway musical Dear Evan Hansen really hits home on what its like to be a millennial or any person struggling to find their way. With its moving story, catchy songs, and talented cast, the musical is sure to earn not only your praise, but steal your heart in the process. Coping with severe anxiety, the title character finds it extremely difficult to fit in. His single mother is always working, his only acquaintance at school is a family friend, and the girl he likes doesnt even know he exists. Every day is a constant struggle, until the unexpected death of a classmate gives him a voice he never knew he had, even if it is all based on a lie. On top of the moving story, the music is infectious. When the single Waving Through a Window was first released, I played the track for five days straight. Even after seeing the show, I still have the urge to bust out the lyrics to Words Fail during my morning mute on the subway. You think Im exaggerating, but just wait until you hear the soundtrack for the first time. You wont just tap your foot to one of the melodies during the show; youll e out humming three more of them when you leave, guaranteed.With so many different themes like depression, anxiety, and loneliness throughout, we can all see a bit of ourselves in one of these characters: the socially awkward teen, the daughter whose parents wont stop fighting, or the classmate who feels like theres no other way than just giving up. In between numbers, I could audibly hear the audience choking back sobs. My mom and I bonded with a young man sitting next to us during the intermission as we talked about how we related to Evan, his mother, his classmates, and all that in between. At the heart of it all, this isnt just a show its a story that needs to be told. Because no one deserves to be forgotten. No one deserves to feel like they could disappear. Even when youre broken on the ground, you will be found.28. The questions in the first paragraph are mentioned _. A. to inform us of some mon social phenomena.B. to tell us that many people feel lonely in life.C. to introduce the theme of Dear Evan Hansen. D. to illustrate that severe anxiety exists.29. What does the underlined phrase “hit home” mean?A. To be widely reported.B. To return to the original place.C. To make people realise something is true.D. To suddenly bee very successful.30. According to the author, what makes Dear Evan Hansen a huge success?A. Brilliant cast.B. Infectious songs.C. The plex story.D. The way it relate to every individual31. What is the best title of this passage?A. Dear Evan Hansen-you are not aloneB. Dear Evan Hansen-a big hitC. Broadway musical is still catchyD. Broadway musical strikes a chord with meDIts no revelation that the key to learning a new language is immersing yourself among native speakers of that language. But what if those native speakers are Dora the Explorer and Diego?It turns out television and radio might be even better tools for new language learners than previously thought. According to two recent studies summarized by Scientific American, it is possible to further your understanding of a new language without actively practicing or fully paying attention.For starters, research published in the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America suggests that language learners who focus continuously on learning new sounds keep no more information than those who take periodic breaks. While one group of study participants practiced differentiating three tricky Hindi sounds for one hour a day over the course of several days, another group alternated spending 10 minutes on learning and 10 minutes on an intentionally distracting task as the Hindi sounds played in the background. When tested on the sounds, the distracted group performed just as well as the focused group. Score one for the subconscious mind!But a subsequent study published in the Journal of Memory and Language further validates the power of inactive learning. Researchers found that Spanish students learning the Basque dialect improved less when they were instructed to repeat sounds back during their training; listening to new sounds silently actually resulted in greater retention.So, is it time to fire your tutor and invest in a box set of Corazn Salvaje? Not quite. While this growing body of research suggests inactive language learning is an awesome tool in your language-learning arsenal, the value of focused practice cannot be discounted. “You need to e to class and pay attention,” says Melissa Baese-Berk, a linguist and co-author of one of the studies. “But when you go home, turn on the TV or turn on the radio in that language while youre cooking dinner, and even if youre not paying total attention to it, its going to help you.”So get out there and learn but not too hard. While youre at it, it wouldnt hurt to brush up on your grammar skills, too.32. What are the findings of the recent studies concerned? A. Television and radio are useful tools for language learning. B. Inactive learning plays a greater role in learning new languages. C. Full attention contributes to greater achievement of language learning. D. It is vital to interact with native speakers when learning new languages.33. The underlined word “validate” in paragraph 4 refer to_. A. confirm B.contradict C.indicate D.assume34. What is Melissa Baese-Berks attitude towards inactive language learning? A. doubtful B. favourable C. indifferent D. disapproving35. Which practice does the author probably approve? A. Skipping pronunciation drills in the class. B. Repeating after the tapes intentionally all the time. C. Playing target languages in the background while dinning. D. Practicing differentiating tricky sounds of target languages.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。Whether at school, college or work, most of us take some sort of lunch break. _36_But here lies the dilemma what to eat?
