AThere is a certain atmosphere surrounding somebody who lives in Washington. Everybody seems to think that you know more about what is going on, and a fellow who makes his home in Washington can look forward to being invited to lots of parties.I discovered this when I went up to New York recently. At the first dinner party, everyone was most interested in what was going on in Washington and I was quite honest and admitted I had no idea. Not only did this disappoint the people I was dining with, it also made them angry. They couldn’t believe that I didn’t know and assumed I wasn’t telling the truth.When I was leaving, the hostess told me, “We didn’t expect you to tell us everything, but I see no re ason why you have to protect the Administration.” I decided then I would have to come up with some inside information, or I would have to pay for my own meals in New York.So the next morning I went through all the morning papers and took time to watch TV for what had happened recently. When I arrived at the party, I was well prepared to discuss almost anything. “What dothey say about taxes in Washington?” a lawyer asked.“I’ve heard there will probably be a tax cut next year,” I said.“Can you tell us what the President plans to do about Latin America?”“I’m sorry!” I said, “There are some things the President discusses with me that I just can’t talk about in public.”“Quite true,” the lawyer agreed, “You’ve probably told us more than you should anyway.”For the next three days I had more invitations to dinner parties than I could accept. But it has been quite a strain. I have to go on reading so many newspapers and watching so many TV shows from Washington that sometimes I wonder if it’s worth the trouble.21.At the first dinner party the people were disappointed and angry because________.A.the author did not tell them the truthB.the author refused to pay for the dinnerC.the author did not offer any inside informationD.the author showed no interest in what they discussed22.How did the author get well prepared for the next party?A.He tried to catch up on the latest events.B.He had secret discussions with the PresidentC.He learned how to protect the Administration.D.He consulted the lawyer about taxes in Washington.23.What does the underlined word “strain”in the last paragraph mean?A.Burden. B.Pleasure. C.Shame. D.Responsibility.BUK supermarkets are producing more plastic waste despite promises to cut down, new research suggests, as sales of bags for life increase to 1.5 billion.Retailers (零售商) were responsible for more than 900, 000 tons of plastic waste in 2018, according to a report from the Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) released Thursday. Seven of the 10 largest supermarket chains reported a higher plastic packaging tonnage in 2019 compared to last year, although exact figures for this year have not been released.Compared to 2018, this year the number of sold eco-friendly bags for life rose by about 25%, the report stated. Campaigners said the rise showed that the bags are now being used by many as a replacement for single-use carrier bags.Campaigners recommend that supermarkets increase the price of bags for life to 70 pence ($0.9). They point to the 90% reduction in bags for life sales in Ireland, where prices are set at 70 cents ($0.77). However, in an ideal world bags for life would be removed completely, enforced by a government ban, said campaigners.“It’s s hocking to see that despite unprecedented (空前的) awareness of the pollution crisis, the amount of single-use plastic used by the UK’s biggest supermarkets has actually increased in the past year,” said Juliet Phillips, EIA ocean campaigner. He added, “Our s urvey shows that grocery retailers need to tighten up targets to drive real reductions in single-use packaging and items. We need to address our throwaway culture at its root through systems change, not materials change. Substituting one single use materia l for another is not the solution.”The report reveals that plastic use among suppliers is also to blame, and supermarkets have failed to make them reduce plastic packaging, Tesco has led the way in this area, threatening to delist (退市) products for suppliers who fail to cut excessive plastic. Campaigners are urging other supermarkets to dothe same.Plastic waste is a global issue and various countries have taken action to reduce its impact.24.What does the new research in the UK find?A. What results in more plastic waste.B. Why customers use more bags for life.C. How many plastic bags have been used now.D. How UK supermarkets cut down plastic waste.25. What do we know about the plastic waste in the UK in 2019?A. It decreased slightly.B. It became more serious.C. It got controlled well.D. It was out of control.26. What’s Juliet Phillips’s suggestion for the UK’s supermarkets?A. Banning the use of bags for life.B. Charging more for producing plastic bags.C. Taking practical steps to reduce plastic waste.D. Changing the material to make plastic bags.27. What did Tesco do to cut down the use of plastic?A. It required suppliers to cut down plastic packaging.B. It found out a replacement for single-use carrier bags.C. It called on consumers to use fewer plastic bags.D. It forced supermarkets to fight against plastic pollution.CWhat exactly is intelligence? There aren’t any easy answers. Despite the progress that has been made in genetics and psychology, human intelligence has remained one of the most controversial areas of modern science, until now, that is, for the discovery of a gene linked to intelligence has made the experts think again.Robert Plomin of the Institute of Psychiatry in London and his colleagues in the US have been looking into genetic make-up. From their research, they have discovered that a slightly different gene is more common in those with a high IQ. Plomin analyzed DNA from two groups of 51 children aged between 6 and 15. What he found was that the first group had an IQ of 136, putting them in the top 5% of the population, while the other group had an average IQ of 103. An analysis of their genes showed that 32% of children in the higher group had the gene in question, while only 16% in the second group did. However, there is a lot more research to be done, and Plomin himself is cautious at this early stage. He suggests that there are probably many genes that contribute to intelligence, rather than just one.Several studies have shown a strong link between IQ and career success, although some psychologists remain unconvinced about this. Professor Michael Rowe, who has written a book called Genius Explained, is one of these. “The people with the highest IQs are not usually the ones who do best in their careers.”Many psychologists now believe that when it comes to intelligence, IQ isn’t everything. Many alternative views have been put forward recently. One example is the idea of multiple intelligences, which was developed in the 1980s by Harvard psychologist Howard Gardner. This offers a much broader view than the IQ theory, including creativity and communication skills as relevant factors in intelligence.Tony Buzan, brain expert and author of Master your Memory, is enthusiastic about this belief, arguing that true geniuses do indeed appear to combine high levels of each type of intelligence. He lists Alexander the Great, Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein as examples. At the same time, Buzan believesthat everyone can develop their intelligence, only if they take the trouble to exercise their brain. Perhaps there’s hope for us all!28.What is the topic of the passage?A. The relationship between genes and intelligence.B. IQ benefits a lot from high intelligence.C. How to develop intelligence.D. What makes intelligence.29.Why does the author use data in Paragraph 2?A. To make a suggestion.B. To draw a conclusion.C. To prove an idea.D. To give an example.30. What can we learn from the passage?A. Robert Plomin confirms genes have something in common.B. Howard Gardner thinks intelligence includes various factors.C. Michael Rowe approves of a strong link between IQ and career.D. Tony Buzan agrees only geniuses can improve intelligence by exercising their brain.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。
