18、s that a thin advanced photocatalytic coating can effectively decompose bacteria （ 細(xì) 菌 ） on the surface of a substance.

26、h American Magellanic penguin swims 5,000 miles, to a beach in Brazil, every year in order to be reunited with the man who saved its life.

27、, Brazil, found the small Magellanic penguin lying on rocks at his local beach in2011. The penguin was covered in oil and running out of time fast.

28、ery, Joao attempted to release the penguin back into the wild. However, Din had already formed a family bond with his rescuer and wouldn 'leave.“He stayed with me for 11 months and then, just after he changed his coat with new feathers, he disappeared, recalls. " I love the penguin like it&

29、#39; s my own child and I believe the penguin loves me," Joao told （allowed to touch him. He pecks （ 啄）them if they do. He lies on my lap, lets me give him showers, and allows me to feedhim.Professor Krajewski, a biologist who interviewed the fisherman for Globo TV, told The Independent: "

30、I have never seen anything like this before. I think the penguin believes Joao is part of his family and probably a penguin as well.”However, environmentalists warn that, while hundreds of the Magellanic species are known to naturally migrate （ 遷 徙）thousands of miles north in search of food, there h

31、as been a worrying rise in the phenomenon of oceanic creatureswashing up on Brazil ' s beaches. Professor David Zee from Rio de Janeiro' s State University, said the increaspart to global climatic changes. Professor Zee added that sea animals face increased danger from leaked tanker oil.Luck

36、owners have been inventing new tricks to get consumers into their stores and purchasing their goods. Even as we find new strategies to resist, neuroscientists （神經(jīng)科學(xué)家）are employed at marketing agencies across the country to best figure out what is going through a consumer at sacraipoint in the decisi

37、on process.We consumers overspend due to the fact that we have a fear of missing the really good deal or having to pay more for the same thing and lose money. Normally, the prefrontal cortex （前額皮層）controls our emotional reactions to things, and keeps us from acting unreasonably by calming down our f

38、ears. But an advertiser can disturb our prefrontal cortex just by displaying flashy deal signs, encouraging it to do math on how much money we might save now by buying more of somet hing we don ' t actually need yet.Nostalgia, that regretful affection for past events, is another strong influence

39、r during the holiday season, and it ' shaped by emotion. Emotion whether good or bad enhances the formation of memories, engaging more parts of the brain. So hearing a nephew singing a carol, for instance, might reawaken memories associated with that particular song in a much more powerful way t

40、han hearing that same nephew sing another song. These kinds of memories are brought back even more easily by sensory input. This might be why we are often greeted by a sensory reminder everywhere we go in a month.Wherever you purchase gifts, there are social influences on what you buy as well. The h

41、olidays are a time when we are especially conditioned to p ay more for the label because we' re buying gifts. Receiving-namsigift sends the messagethat “this person has spent more on me, so he or she must value me more." And it makes sense. If two things fthe same, how do I know which to ch

42、oose? Humans have survived as a social species, and we have to rely on each other. So when our brains are trying to make decisions, one of the shortcuts is to assume that if a lot of other people prefer something （and higher cost is often a predictor of that）, then there must be a reason.Much of our

43、 holiday spending is driven by unplanned purchases. Plan ahead, resist the urge to purchase in the moment, make notes for comparison shopping, and if the deal is actually good, then it will hold up to inspection and you ' ll feel good about your purchases later. Before you blow your budget this

44、season, remember that your brain might be fooling you into that next purchase.38 .From Paragraph 2, we learn thatA.the prefrontal cortex is the calculation centerB.the common consumers always act unreasonablyC.the sight of flashy deal signs may fill consumers with fearD.the advertisers make consumer

45、s pay more for the same thing39 .According to Paragraph 3, which of the following can work on consumers?A. Creating a festival atmosphere.B. Following the current fashion.C. Preparing more free samples.D. Offering a bigger discount.40 .Why do we buy brand-name gifts during the holiday?A. They are mo

46、re reliable.B. They are a sign of social status.C. They make people feel valued.D. They are favored by most people.41 .To avoid overspending, the author suggests we.A. buy in the momentB. reduce our budgetC. return unnecessary productsD. make a plan in advanceDThe Impossible Burger is entirely free

47、of meat. But it looks, smells, feels andmost importantly tastes so much like real hamburger beef. In fact, plant-based burger alternatives have set off a strong resistance from the beef industry. The Center for Consumer Freedom, a nonprofit that advocates on behalf of the fast food and meat industri

48、es has launched an“ inforrcampaign targeting plant-based meats. The campaign has included TV and online ads, as well as print ads in newspapers. The ads seem to imply that not only is an artificial burger too processed, but that it might be even less healthy than the average beef burger.While it 

49、9; s true that a pbanted meat alternative is processed and it' s true that eating one isnot as healthy as a pile of raw vegetables, it ' s best to take the ads with a generous phnof salt.For instance, the additives and preservatives in plant-based meat highlighted in one ad sure sound scary.

50、 Who wants something called titanium dioxide （ 二氧化鈦）in their meal? But the truth is that additives such as those listed in the ads are regularly used in all sorts of packaged foods. And if methylcellulose, a food thickener, sounds unpleasant, ith ' s reasalmonella （沙門菌）poisoning you can get from

51、 regular meat.Also, the ad campaign misses the bigger point. Choosing an Impossible or Beyond burgerisn ' t just about eating healthy. Burgers, whether they are made from processed pea protein or processed meat, will never be as healthy as organic raw vegetables.What' s appealing is the pros

52、pect of enjoying a juicy burger without the bitter aftertaste of guilt.Let ' s face it, there are huge environmental costs to eating cows. Cattle raising is contributing to climate change, and not j ust because methane （甲 烷）from cows and cattle is responsible for about 14.5% of greenhouse gas. M

53、ore broadly, our global food production system releases more than a third of the world ' greenhouse gases. Yet we can ' steem to control our meat appetite even knowing that large areas of the Amazon forest have been ruined, and continue to be cut down to make room for more cattle to feed the

54、 growing demand for beef. Humans also know full well that many animals live short, cruel lives in awful conditions for the purpose of becoming foods for humans to enjoy at dinner.A plant-based meat that satisfies meat desires and delivers protein but with a smaller climate footprint is a potential e

55、nvironmental game changer and the reason Impossible Foods was one of those receiving the U.N. Global Climate Action Award in 2019. No wonder the meat industry is on guard.42 .What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?A.These ads deserve little consideration.B.We should spre

56、ad the message of these ads.C.Wd dbetter be cautious when reading these ads.D.These ads tell people a lot about plant-based burgers.43 .What do we know about additives and preservatives in plant-based burgers?A.They are likely to cause poisoning.B.Their use is within the normal range.C.Some have not

57、 been used in hamburgers. D.They are used to ensure burgers taste good.44 .What is the author ' s attitude towardbaSedtburgers?A. Supportive.B. Neutral.C. Disapproving. D. Doubtful.45 .Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage?C.D.1: IntroductionP: Point Sp: Sub-point
