26、Year 2020 seems to be the year of healthy eating. People are choosing to follow a vegetarian diet, and some have even given up animal products entirely.
But Joe Rogan, the most popular podcast host in the US, was against this trend and called January 2020 “world carnivore (食肉动物) month”. In his recent podcast, he reviewed his experience with “the carnivore diet”. Starting in January, he ate only meat for 30 days without any vegetables or fruit.
The podcaster tried the diet after the famous psychologist Jordan Peterson claimed that the diet could promote energy levels and mental health, according to Business Insider.
Rising to the challenge, Rogan posted regular updates about his diet on the popular social platform Instagram. With the average day consisting of just 2 meals, breakfast would be 6 eggs or a steak, and dinner would include either another steak, such as beef, fish or liver.
After 30 days, Rogan said he felt amazed. He also wrote, “I lost 12 pounds. Lots of pains went away. My energy is constant, and I have improvements in my stomachache. I went into this thing, thinking that this carnivore diet was kind of strange, but this is as good as I’ve felt in a long time.”
It has positive results, but some have pointed out the diet’s limitation. Speaking to CNBC, Linda Horn, a health expert at Northwestern University, said that studies show that a high-quality diet with a variety of nutrients is connected with “a better quality of life, long life and reduced risk of chronic (慢性的) diseases”. She added that the energy people claim to feel from the carnivore diet is probably not because of the meat. Instead, she said kicking carbohydrates (碳水化合物) and sugar causes weight loss and it makes people feel better.
While the carnivore diet may offer you some benefits, eating a balanced diet will afford you more health benefits than consuming a single food group, according to Healthline.

【4】What can be concluded from the passage?

27、 To many of us, art is obviously a kind of human expression of creativity. But in recent years, you may have read news about artificial intelligence (AI) creating its own art, such as painting or writing poems. Some people worry that AI might someday replace artists.
【1】Many artists today are turning AI into a useful tool. Instead of replacing artists, AI is bringing artists more possibilities.
A piece of music created by AI recently attracted attention. AI was used to turn the novel virus into a piece of nearly two-hour long music based on its protein structure. The project was led by Markus Buehler, an American musician and MIT professor of engineering. He assigned (指定) a unique note to each amino acid (氨基酸) in the protein.【2】
Listeners found the project to be “mind-blowing”. “It allows me to see the virus from a new angle,” said one listener.【3】As The Verge wrote, “AI helps artists play around in unpredictable ways, creating things beyond what they have ever thought was possible before.”
【4】For example, in the comic and animation industries, there are now AI tools that can automatically (自动地) color in black-and-white line drawings. Although the results can be unpredictable and require a little cleanup, it “could give artists room to experiment, by cutting down the time it takes to color each frame (画面)”, said Joao Do Lago, animator of Netflix’s Castlevania.
As Peter Ward wrote for The Culture Trip, art of every kind has always been influenced by technological breakthroughs.【5】
A.The AI then translated these notes into music.
B.AI has become an important part of our everyday life.
C.But this worry seems to be unnecessary, at least for now.
D.AI can become a useful tool to bring change to the art world.
E.Besides the music industry, AI has entered the world of poetry as well.
F.This surprising marriage between science and art could not be achieved without AI.
G.Apart from co-creating imaginative works, AI can also help artists avoid repeating tasks.
28、 The population of Thailand is 69 million with 5. 7 million farms with an average farm size of 3. 15 hectares （公顷）.Agriculture is of importance to Thailand’s income, and more than 60% of the total population is involved in agriculture.
Chemical fertilizers play an important role in raising agricultural productivity. But they also worsen soil quality. Gradually, the amount of farmland fit for agriculture is reduced. The use of chemical fertilizers in Thailand increased from 2. 3 million tons in 2000 to 5. 0 million tons in 2015, which cost about 1835 million US dollars. About 42% of the fertilizer was used for 10. 4 million hectares in the wet and dry season. Due to the oil shock in 2008, the price of fertilizers greatly increased. As a result, the Thai Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives issued a policy to reduce the use of chemical fertilizers.
The management of using fertilizers became very important, especially for economic reasons. The NPK fertilizer suggestions for most crops got from field experiments could not be used for crops in other locations where the climate, soil type, crop strain （品种）,and management were different.
To reduce production costs and increase crops yield （产量）in small farms, the country has spread the Site-specific Nutrient Management technology, which is known in Thailand as the Tailor-made Fertilizer Technology （TFT） and it is useful. Importantly, it’s not harmful to the farmland.
【1】What can we learn about Thailand from paragraph 1?
A.It has about 30 million farmers.
B.40% of people in it are farmers.
C.Agriculture is important to its economy.
D.Its farms take up 60% of its land.
【2】Using chemical fertilizers can ________.
A.cut down on production costs
B.influence the quality of farmland
C.reduce the soil testing for farmers’ practices
D.increase the amount of farmland suitable for agriculture
【3】What’s the author’s attitude towards the TFT technology?
A.Supporting. B.Doubtful. C.Unconcerned. D.Worried.
【4】What are the last two paragraphs mainly about?
A.Chemical fertilizers do damage to farmland.
B.Farmers do not care about farmland protection.
C.Thailand spread TFT to manage the use of fertilizers.
D.TFT makes Thailand’s crop yields reduced.
29、 Today, getting information is as easy as opening a browser on your computer/phone, typing in a question and waiting a nanosecond for a long list of links to load. These websites will promise to answer your question. But actually, they may not be all that trustworthy. Figuring out which site is believable and which is false takes work. It isn’t impossible, though. Actually, it is what every good journalist does daily. And students and other non-journalists also can do it.
To check a new claim, good reporters contact experts on the topic. In journalism, such experts are known as “sources”. This may be a scientist who discovered something new in the lab. Or it could be the witness to a crime.
However, not everything is easy. For instance, if there’s a forest fire, how do you know where it started, when and how? You can ask government officials, but they may not know. You can talk to people near the fire shortly after it started. But unless someone spotted the fire as it happened, people may never know for sure. They may simply offer speculation. Saying something “might have” or even “probably” started that fire isn’t a fact. So you’d have to qualify any statement about the fire’s origins.
I describe such words as “weasel words”. These words and phrases include “might” “could have” “was likely to have been”, etc. Whenever something isn’t known for sure, journalists will highlight their uncertainty by using weasel words. They never over-blow claims to the readers.
A good reporter should be paid for the work he does. Some blogs and even news sites are authored by unpaid writers. Many of these writers are untrained in reporting, and their reports may not provide the depth. Thus, if the news you’re reading is free to the world online, consider what that may mean. Overall, you should be skeptical. That’s acting like a journalist.
【1】What does the underlined word “it” refer to in the first paragraph?
A.Getting information. B.Checking information.
C.Writing information. D.Analyzing information.
【2】How does the author show the difficulty in looking for sources?
A.by listing some facts B.by giving an explanation
C.by raising some questions D.by giving an example
【3】What does the author think of weasel words?
A.They are annoying to the readers. B.They should be avoided in a report.
C.They are a sign of a good journalist. D.They make a difference to a report.
【4】What should be the best title for the text?
A.Gain Believable Information B.Learn from a Good Journalist
C.Check Facts You Can Trust D.Keep in Doubt like a Good Reporter
