10、ules apply to delivery drivers? The co-founder of Grubhub, Matt Maloney, pretty much set the standard for tipping delivery people in a Facebook post.

20、uffalos, goats and sheep provide most of the worlds milk. But soon, people could get milk from roaches(蟑螂). That isnt as crazy as it might sound. New research shows this “milk“ is super-nutritious. Whats more, some scientists have already begun referring to a lot of insects as source of milk. In 200

21、4, Subramanian Ramaswamy started studying milk crystals found inside the roach. At the time, he was teaching biochemistry at the University of Iowa City. To learn more about the milk crystal from roaches, the scientists used X-rays to look at the atoms in it. The data basically revealed the chemical

22、 recipe of the roach crystal. They showed that roach milk is a “complete food.“ It contains sugar with a fatty acid stuck to it. Fatty acids are the building blocks of fats. The protein in the milk is also full of essential amino(氨基的) acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. Since our bodie

23、s cant produce the “essential“ ones, we need to get them from our food. And so do baby roaches. Barbara Stay, a biologist at Iowa University, also worked on the new study. She says the new data show that the roach milk is “three times more nutritious than cows milk and four times more nutritious tha

24、n buffalos milk“. Ramaswamy would like to see roach milk turned into a protein supplement to feed hungry people.

25、 Dicke says this is a “sound study“. However, in his opinion, “Extracting(提 取) milk from roaches can only likely be done in a destructive way with only small quantities“. That means youd have to raise and kill many bugs to get even tiny quantities of the milk. (1)What is the opinion of the scientist

26、s about milk in Paragraph 2? A、Many insects are sources of milk. B、Milk is an important part of breakfast. C、Milk from insects is the most nutritious.

C、All people dont think it can be used in life soon. D、Most people depend on roach milk from protein. 答 案 C 解 析 根据倒数

28、第二段“Ramaswamy would like to see roach milk turned into a protein supplement to feed hungry people. But not everyone is confident 河南林州高二英语 3 月线上调研考试试卷 7 / 9 that it can be done.”拉马斯瓦米希望看到蟑螂奶变成蛋白质补充剂来喂饱 饥饿的人。但并不是每个人都有信心做到这一点。故选 C。 (3)According to Marcel Dicke, extracting insect milk on a large scale i

29、s . A、simple B、challenging C、safe D、necessary 答 案 B 解 析 根据文章最后一句“That means youd have to raise and kill many bugs to get even tiny quantities of the milk.”从你必须养育并杀死许多虫子才能 得到甚至少量的牛奶可见，大规模提取昆虫乳汁是一种挑战，故选 B。 (4)What should be the best title for the text?

Since App Store was set up, it has been selling consumers one simple thing choice. Whethe

31、r you wanted to play games, read the news, or do a thousand other things, there was something for whatever you desired. Then something funny happened. Logging into the App Store today is like going into a shopping 河南林州高二英语 3 月线上调研考试试卷 8 / 9 mall with only a coupon(优惠券) for one thing: Theres so much

32、choice; it might be easier to give up than to choose. It isnt consumers who are burdened, though. Too much content of all kinds also has economic effects. When countless choices are available, it causes pressure, pushing prices down and driving us a bit crazy. So what is the way forward? It may well

33、 be to turn less choice itself to the marketing strategy. There are already signs that this is happening. Firstly content companies are looking to prevent their offerings from getting lost in the tons of stuff. Most obvious is Disney, which is planning to open its own streaming service next year. Th

34、e point is to narrow the focus so that those seeking Disney cartoons will have one place to go, rather than being around various services. Yet if that represents a careful first step, there are more extreme options too. Consider the idea of a wine club: from tens of thousands of bottles each year, s

35、ubscribers(用户) pay someone to select the most interesting ones. Perhaps what comes next for digital content is similar carefully selected offerings from trusted sources that put choices in the hands of someone else in order to get rid of the anxiety of choosing. Up to now, too much choice in digital

36、 media has only one solution: the algorithm(运算法 则). But weve seen the trouble with algorithms on You Tube. They feed you only what youve already said you like, not things you may not know youre into. Worse, they have a tendency to serve up disturbing content. The way forward cant simply be more or b

37、etter algorithms. Instead, its time for digital companies to start thinking about how to put limits on things: on how much we can use a device, or what we are available to choose from. As we move further into the digital revolution, what people ask for is clear: Less. (1)What will too much choice of

38、 content on the market result in? A、The shutdown of companies. B、Anxiety of consumers. C、Poor quality of products. D、Negative influence on economy. 河南林州高二英语 3 月线上调研考试试卷 9 / 9 答 案 D 解 析 根据第三段中可知过多的各种内容也会产生经济效应，当有无数的选择时，它 会造成压力，推低价格，也就是说市场上内容选择过多会导致对经济的负面影 响，故选 D。 (2)Why is Disney planning to open its own streaming service? A、To improve its marketing strategy. B、To help people focus on less choice. C、To encourage more people to visit Disney. D、To provide consumers with various services.
