11、rsand relief isnt likely anytime soon. A decreasing number of cattle and growing export demand from countries such as China and Japan have caused the average price of fresh beef to climb to $5.28 a pound in February, up almost a quarter from January and the highest price since 1987.Everything thats

12、produced is being consumed, said Kevin Good, an analyst at CattleFax, a Colorado-based information group. Prices will likely stay high for a couple of years as cattle producers start to rebuild their cattle among big questions about whether the Southwest and parts of the Midwest will see enough rain

She says she limits red meat purchases to hamburger, choosing chicken, pork and fish instead.Restaurant owners, too, must deal with the high prices. Mark Hutchens, owne

14、r of the 50 Yard Line Steakhouse in Lubbock, raised his menu prices for beef items by about 5 percent in November. Since then, the owner of the small eating house has tried to make cuts elsewhere to avoid passing it on to customers. It really puts more pressure on the small guys, he said of non-chai

15、n restaurants. I just think you have to stay competitive and keep your costs low.“White-tablecloth restaurants have adjusted the size of their steaks, making them thinner”, says Jim Robb, director of the Colorado-based Livestock Marketing Information Center. “And fast-food restaurants are cutting co

16、sts by reducing the number of menu items and are offering other meat options, including turkey burgers, Robb said. Chain restaurants also try to buy beef as much as they can, which essentially gives them a discount”, Iowa State University assistant economics professor Lee Schulz said.The high prices

17、 are welcome news for at least one group: ranchers(大农场经营者), especially those in Texas who for years have struggled amid drought（干旱） and high feed prices. But even as ranchers breathe a sigh of relief, some worry lasting high prices will cause consumers to permanently change their buying habits switc

18、hing to chicken or pork. Pete Bonds, a 62-year-old Texas rancher and president of the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association, said thats a big concern. “But such fears may be unfounded, Robb said. “Three years ago, economists thought consumers would start finding substitutions for beef as

19、 the drought spread. Were surprised we havent seen more of that, he said.South Dakota rancher Chuck OConnor thinks that consumers wont abandon beef for good. Im sure some are maybe going to cut back some, but to say that people arent going to buy it anymore, I dont think thats going to happen, he sa

23、 be least affected by the high beef prices22（8分） Ride-hailing apps and robot cars promise to change how we get around and the effects are already being felt. Traffic in New York is slowing down. Jams are common in Manhattan, especially in its business districts. Daytime traffic in the busiest areas

24、now moves almost 20% more slowly than it did five years ago.It seems a place ripe for wide use of ride-hailing apps that, you might think, would reduce some of the jams. However, those apps appear to be making things worse as traffic has slowed in line with the growing popularity of apps such as Ube

25、r and Lyft, a study by transport expert Bruce Schaller suggests.Over the four years of the study, the number of cars in Manhattan seeking ride-hailing fares increased by 81%. There are now about 68,000 ride-sharing drivers across New York. Thats about five times the number of the yellow cabs license

26、d to operate there, he found. There are so many drivers, his work suggests, who spend about 45% of their spare time just touring for fares. That is a lot of unused cars blocking a lot of busy streets.Simple physics explains why ride-sharing vehicles are causing, not curing jams, said Jarrett Walker,

27、 a public transport policy expert who has advised hundreds of cities about moving people.“Lots of people are deciding that, Oh, public transport is just too much trouble this morning, or whenever, which causes a shift from it,” he told the BBC“That means moving people from larger vehicles into small

28、er ones, which means more vehicles to move the same people. Therefore, more traffic.”Data gathered about ride-sharing drivers illustrates how they contribute to congestion(塞车), said Prof. Christo Wilson, a computer scientist at Northeastern University who has studied the services. “You can look at t

29、he traffic pattern for the Uber vehicles and it perfectly matches the peaks for the rush hour and the peak time of a day,” he said.

Such a fixation with the

32、weather finds expression in Dr. Johnsons famous comment that “When two English meet, their first talk is of weather.” Though Johnsons observation is as accurate now as it was over two hundred years ago, most commentators(评论员) fail to come up with a convincing explanation for this English weather-spe

33、ak.Bill Bryson, for example, concludes that, as the English weather is not at all exciting, the obsession with it can hardly be understood. He argues that” To an outsider, the most striking thing about the English weather is that there is not very much of it.” Simply, the reason is that the unusual

34、and unpredictable weather is almost unknown in the British Isles.Jeremy Paxman, however, disagrees with Bryson, arguing that the English weather is by nature attractive. Bryson is wrong, he says, “because the English preference for the weather has nothing to do with the natural phenomena(现象).” The i

35、nterest is less in the phenomena themselves, but in uncertainty.” According to him, the weather in England is very changeable and uncertain and it attracts the English as well as the outsider.Bryson and Paxman stand for common misconceptions about the weather-speak among the English. Both commentato

36、rs, somehow, are missing the point. The English weather conversation is not really about the weather at all. English weather-speak is a system of signs ,which is developed to help the speakers overcome the natural reserve and actually talk to each other. Everyone knows conversations starting with we

37、ather-speak are not requests for weather data. Rather, they are routine greetings, conversation starters or the blank “fillers”, In other words, English weather-speak is a means of social bonding.1、The author mentions Dr. Johnsons comment to show that_.Amost commentators agree with Dr. JohnsonBDr. J

38、ohnson is famous for his weather observationCthe comment was accurate two hundred years agoDEnglish conversations usually start with the weather2、What does the underlined word “obsession” most probably refer to?AA social trend.BAn emotional state.CA historical concept.DAn unknown phenomenon.3、Accord

39、ing to the passage, Jeremy Paxman believes that_.ABill Bryson has little knowledge of the weatherBthere is nothing special about the English weatherCthe English weather attracts people to the British IslesDEnglish people talk about the weather for its uncertainty4、What is the authors main purpose of

40、 writing the passage?ATo explain what English weather-speak is about.BTo analyze misconceptions about the English weather.CTo find fault with both Bill Bryson and Jeremy Paxman.DTo convince people that the English weather is changeable.24（8分）If I had to choose what language to learn next, its a toug

41、h decision but itd probably be German because many people that know several languages tell me that German is their favourite language in terms of expressing themselves. And I think it might have something to do with the vast amount of vocabulary the German language has. So I think itd be really diff

42、icult but a fun challenge.Elena (Canada, teacher)I think Id like to learn French next because its a very romantic (浪漫的) language and it could be very useful in different job situations. Besides, I think it could help me understand English a bit more as well, since it was previously the language of d

47、iens is something that scientists have done for decades. In fact, most people do believe that aliens exist in some fashion. The main necessities for life are water and some form of energy source. Not surprisingly, there are some planets, exoplanets and moons that fit the bill. Here are several best

48、chances at finding life in the universe. TRAPPIST-1TRAPPIST-1 is a planetary system a few dozen light-years away, whose discovery was announced in early 2017. This system consists of seven Earth-like exoplanets orbiting an ultra-cool star, and it is one of our shots at finding possible life beyond o

49、ur own solar system. TitanTitan is the largest moon of Saturn, the sixth planet from our Sun. This moon could potentially harbor life but possibly not in the sense that we think. Titan does not exactly fit the description of being in a typical habitable zone. Titan has water, and it has liquid. It j

50、ust doesnt have liquid water. The water on this moon is completely solid because of the extremely cold temperature. EuropaEuropa is one of Jupiters moons here in our own solar system. It is another candidate due to its potential to hold liquid water. Europa is thought to have all the necessities for

51、 life including water, energy sources, and the right chemical build-up. MarsThe Red Planet, the fourth from the Sun, is probably one of the most talked-about potential candidates for extraterrestrial(地球外的) life and even for human colonization. Despite some different voices, finding extraterrestrial

52、life on Mars really is a serious possibility. We know by now that we wont find little green men or any intelligent form of life that we understand. However, there is evidence that there was and may still be microscopic life on the small red planet.1、The common point of these celestial bodies is that

53、 _.Asolid water exists on them respectivelyBlife might exist on each of themCthey all contain liquid waterDeach of them has living things on it2、Which celestial body could have life different from human imagination?ATRAPPIST-1.
