第二部分　阅读(共两节, 满分50分)
第一节(共15小题; 每小题2. 5分, 满分37. 5分)
　　阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
　　In New Jersey, there’s a row of houses with a green lawn that kids can’t enjoy. “It’s really frustrating. These lawns are useless to me, ”Alice, a suburban mom in New Jersey said. She lives in a beautiful community full of green lawns.
　　It’s the middle of summer, but there are no dandelions in sight. And that’s the problem: the lawns are so green because they’re full of pesticides. Warning signs urge parents to keep kids off the chemical-laden grass.
　　Alice says that most lawns and parks in her area are like this. There are plenty of them, but her kids can’t play in them. “I just want to let my baby experience the grass, ” she said. “Also, I’m sure it’s not good for animals. The other day, a woman found a dead deer in her backyard. ”
　　In the 1940s, people often mixed clover with grass to keep lawns strong, which benefited the environment. But over the last few decades, pesticides have taken over. In 2012, the world spent $56 billion on pesticides. They go into farms, lawns, parks and just about anywhere where humans grow plants. These chemicals keep parks’ grass and flowers perfect. They just make them useless as actual parks.
　　That may be more than just annoying. New research has shown that play is good for kids. It helps them discover the world and learn how to get along with other people. But it’s hard to get enough play when there are so few public spaces where kids can play. And the few that exist are often covered in chemicals that make parents uncomfortable.
　　There are things to take the place of pesticides, like planting a lawn full of clover. Besides, maybe a dandelion here or there isn’t the worst thing.
【语篇概述】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍杀虫剂的使用使得孩子们不得不远离公园里的草坪这一情况。
21. Why do parents ask their kids to keep off the grass?
A. To shelter kids from damage.
B. To protect the environment.
C. To let kids avoid seeing the dead deer.
D. To let kids have more time to study.
【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据题干中的关键词keep off the grass定位第二段“And that’s the problem: the lawns are so green because they’re full of pesticides. ”可知, 草坪上大量的杀虫剂会对孩子造成一定的危害。故父母不愿意让自己的孩子在草坪上玩耍。
22. What can we infer from Paragraph 4?
A. Clover has been popular all the time.
B. The world focuses on building parks.
C. Chemicals help crops grow well in the parks.
D. Nowadays parks aren’t what they used to be.
【解析】选D。推理判断题。根据文中第四段These chemicals keep parks’ grass and flowers perfect. They just make them useless as actual parks. 可知, 化学药品虽然让植物茁壮成长, 但是已经让公园变得不再像过去那样适合公众游玩, 故选D项。文中第四段提到人们在20世纪40年代使用三叶草, 但是现在已被杀虫剂取代。故排除A项; 依据文中the world spent$56 billion on pesticides可知, 世人在把大量的财力花在杀虫剂上而不是建造公园上, 故B项不正确。依据文中These chemicals keep parks’ grass and flowers perfect. 可知, 化学药品是在帮助公园里的花草长势良好而不是农作物, 故C项不正确。
23. New research on kids in Paragraph 5 is mentioned to _______.  
A. show play is kids’ nature
B. advise planting more clover
C. present chemicals’ bad effects on kids
D. encourage kids to get on well with others
【解析】选C。推理判断题。根据题干中的关键词New research on kids in Paragraph 5定位第五段。本段提到新的研究表明, 玩耍对孩子有益, 有利于他们探索世界和学会与他人相处, 但化学药品的使用使得孩子玩耍的公共空间在不断缩小, 影响极坏, 故选C项。
B
　　In my everyday life, I am on an ongoing journey to figure out different ways to reduce my carbon footprint on the planet. A carbon footprint is the measure of influence our activities have on the environment, in particular climate change. It is calculated by the amount of greenhouse gas we produce in our daily lives. Fortunately, nowadays it is much easier to make eco-friendly lifestyle choices than, let’s say, 20 years ago. But one question has been on my mind a lot lately: is it better to buy new eco-friendly products or used traditionally produced goods?
After doing some research, I have decided that some things are better new and others are better used. Let me try to explain.
A carbon footprint is made up of two parts, the primary footprint and the secondary footprint. The primary footprint is a measure of our direct emissions (排放) of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the burning of fuels, including household energy consumption and transportation. The secondary footprint is a measure of the indirect CO2 emissions from the whole lifecycle of products we use—those related to their production and breakdown.
Based on this understanding, we have a good deal of control and responsibility over our carbon footprint. Things like dishes, clothes and furniture fall into the “secondary footprint” group, so less is more and we can focus on finding used goods to avoid the added production. However, for the car and the other appliances(设备)that we need we can go with new, energy-saving models. I heard somewhere that electronics and appliances give off 90% of their carbon footprint after they leave the factory. So it seems most reasonable to go for the energy-saving models. The main concern here is the amount of energy that goes into the making of new products and whether or not that extra carbon is worth the footprint the product will make once it gets to you.  
【语篇概述】本文是说明文。作者在生活中寻找减少日常活动的碳排放的方法: 新型环保产品和使用过的传统工艺生产的产品, 哪一种更能减少碳的排放量。通过研究和对比, 发现各有好处。
24. What is the text mainly about?
A. What appliances to buy to save energy.
B. What a carbon footprint means in our life.
C. How to identify different carbon footprints.
D. How to make eco-friendly lifestyle choices.
【解析】选D。主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知, 本文主要探讨了如何降低碳排放量, 如何做出一些有利于环境的正确的生活选择。
25. What do we know about the secondary carbon footprint?
A. It is related to our consumption of fuels.
B. It is made when we are buying the products.
C. It is less harmful than the primary carbon footprint.
D. It is counted as ours though not directly made by us.
【解析】选D。细节理解题。由第三段可知, 碳的间接排放主要来自我们日常使用产品的整个生产周期——从产品制作到处置分解。由此可知, 碳的间接排放不是我们直接产生的, 但与我们相关, 我们也负有一定的责任。
26. Which of the following helps reduce our carbon footprint according to the author?
A. Using second-hand textbooks.
B. Using old and expensive cars.
C. Buying new but cheap clothes.
D. Buying new wooden furniture.
【解析】选A。推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句Things like dishes, clothes and furniture fall into the “secondary footprint” group, so less is more and we can focus on finding used goods to avoid the added production. (像盘碟、衣服和家具归为第二级碳足迹类型, 因此本着“少就是多”的原则, 我们可以专注于找些旧的物品来避免增加生产。), 可以推断出using second-hand textbooks(使用二手课本), 有助于减少我们的碳排放量。
27. “The footprint” underlined in the last sentence refers to the CO2 produced in _______.  
A. using the product　　　 B. recycling the product
C. making the product D. transporting the product
【解析】选A。推理判断题。根据文章最后一段最后一句中的the footprint the product will make once it gets to you, 产品到达你的手上产生的“碳排放”, 因此此处指的是使用过程中所产生的碳排放。
C
　　At schools across the United States, students often sit down for lunches made from processed foods that are high in fat and sugar. But kids at Public School (P. S. ) 216 in Brooklyn have a different dining experience. Principal Donna Neglia reports that her students love eating fresh fruit and vegetables.
　　P. S. 216 took part in the Edible Schoolyard Project, a program founded by Chef Alice Waters in 1995. The purpose of the program is to get schools to create gardens, allowing students to grow their own fruit and vegetables for their lunch.
　　Waters expressed her love for the farm-to-table movement. She advised schools to connect with the farmers in their areas, and change their buying practices when planning meals for students.
　　In 2009, the First Lady Michelle Obama started the garden in the backyard of the White House. She spent hours tending to the garden, often with help from local schoolchildren.
　　“That gave people a sense that she cares about children and where our food comes from, ” Waters said, praising Michelle Obama’s dedication to young people’s health. “We are just building this movement, and it is very exciting. ”
　　Through the Edible Schoolyard Project, students also learn about the benefits of healthy eating in the classroom. Neglia said that P. S. 216 is teaching kids about “careers in the food industry—such as farming and agriculture, food safety, and the restaurant business”.
　　Similar classes are taking place around the country. So far, the Edible Schoolyard Project has reached more than 1 million students in more than 367 schools. “I’m doing this for the future of the planet, ” Waters said.
【语篇概述】本文是一篇说明文。厨师Alice Waters创办了一个项目来鼓励学校种植水果、蔬菜来帮助学生吃上健康食物。
28. The Edible Schoolyard Project aims to _______.  
A. let students eat healthy food
B. improve schools’ environment
C. reduce students’ stress from study
D. make students’ free time colorful
【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据题干中的关键词aims to定位到第二段的“The purpose of the program is to get schools to create gardens, allowing students to grow their own fruit and vegetables for their lunch. ”可知, 该活动的目的在于让学生种植新鲜的水果、蔬菜, 以便自己食用。
29. According to Waters’ words about Michelle Obama, we know _______.  
A. running a garden was exciting
B. Waters got on well with the First Lady
C. Michelle Obama had a healthy body
D. Waters thought highly of Michelle Obama
【解析】选D。推理判断题。根据题干中的关键词Waters’ words about Michelle Obama定位到“. . . Waters said, praising Michelle Obama’s dedication to young people’s health. ”可知, Waters对Michelle Obama的评价很高。故选D项。
30. Through the Edible Schoolyard Project, students _______.  
A. can find jobs on farming
B. start a restaurant business
C. learn benefits of healthy food
D. know how to plant different foods
【解析】选C。推理判断题。根据文中倒数第二段“Through the Edible Schoolyard Project, students also learn about the benefits of healthy eating in the classroom. ”可知, 该项目有助于学生了解健康饮食的益处。本题易误选B。根据倒数第二段最后一句可知, 该项目让学生了解了农业、食品安全以及餐饮行业, 而不是让学生开办餐厅。
31. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Students should eat healthily
B. P. S. 216 is a famous school
C. Processed foods should be avoided
D. A chef helps create green schoolyards
【解析】选D。标题归纳题。本文主要讲述厨师Alice Waters创办的一个旨在鼓励学校种植水果、蔬菜来帮助学生吃上健康食物的项目。故选D项。A项指“学生应该健康饮食”, 涉及面太广, 与文章主题不符; 文中并未提到P. S. 216是一所名校, 故排除B项; 文中第一段虽然提到processed foods, 但是并非本文主要探讨的对象, 故排除C项。

(2021·滨州高二检测)
　　Nearly every week, we hear news about the latest successes and failures in driverless vehicles. But we hear little about how other industries are developing this same kind of technology. One industry heavily involved in researching and developing artificial intelligence, or AI, is agriculture. Companies are experimenting with high-tech tools that can help farmers save time and money, while reducing environment-harming chemicals.
　　One of the companies is ecoRobotix of Switzerland. It created a robot equipped with AI and cameras to identify all plants on a farm. The robot has four wheels to carry itself through the fields in search of weeds. Computer-controlled arms then lower and spray the weeds with small amounts of herbicide(除草剂). Company officials say the robot can fully operate on its own for up to 12 hours a day while being powered by the sun. It uses the same kind of sensor and positioning technology used to guide driverless vehicles. A farmer can also control the equipment through a smartphone.
　　The co-founder of ecoRobotix, Aurélien Demaurex, says the farm robot can kill weeds with 20 times less herbicide than traditional methods. This is because the system uses exactly the right chemical amount in the exact place required to kill the weeds. Currently, farmers spread weed killers over massive areas to destroy unwanted plants.
　　Another company developing farm robotics is California-based Blue River Technology. The company has a system called “See & Spray”, which it claims was the world’s first smart sprayer. The system—which is connected to the back of a tractor—is also equipped with AI to identify and chemically kill only the weeds. It can also spray chemicals on wanted plants to help them grow. Ben Chostner, vice president of business development for Blue River Technology, explains in a company video that See & Spray technology uses the same deep learning methods used in facial recognition. “The first time the machine saw pigweed(蓟草), it didn’t know what kind of plant it was. But we taught it—by giving it tens of thousands of examples of that pigweed—and now it’s an expert in pigweed. ”
【语篇概述】本文是一篇说明文, 一些公司正在试验农业方面的人工智能高科技工具, 这些工具可以帮助农民节省时间和金钱, 同时减少使用对环境有害的化学物质。
32. How will AI benefit agriculture?
A. It will fund agriculture research.
B. It contributes to low-cost farming.
C. It can avoid harmful chemicals.
D. It frees all farmers from field work.
【解析】选B。细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“Companies are experimenting with high-tech tools that can help farmers save time and money, while reducing environment-harming chemicals. ”可知, 人工智能可以帮助农民节省时间和金钱, 同时减少使用对环境有害的化学物质。故选B。
33. What do the products of the two companies have in common?
A. They use recognition technology.
B. They are powered by solar energy.
C. They are connected with smartphones.
D. They can help wanted plants grow rapidly.
【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“It created a robot equipped with AI and cameras to identify all plants on a farm. ”以及第四段第三句“The system—which is connected to the back of a tractor—is also equipped with AI to identify and chemically kill only the weeds. ”可知, 两个公司的产品的共同点就是, 它们都使用了识别技术, 故选A。
34. What do Ben Chostner’s words suggest about the robot?
A. It is environmentally friendly.
B. It is good at self-improving.
C. It has the learning ability.
D. It can track various plants.
【解析】选C。推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句可知, 研发人员给这个机器人成千上万的蓟草的样本来教它, 这个机器人现在在识别蓟草方面是一个专家。由此可推知, Ben Chostner意在表明该机器人有学习能力。故选C。
35. What is mainly talked about in the text?
A. The experiment in farming robots.
B. A new trend in artificial intelligence.
C. Modern See & Spray technology.
D. Artificial intelligence in agriculture.
【解析】选D。主旨大意题。根据文章第一段第三句“One industry heavily involved in researching and developing artificial intelligence, or AI, is agriculture. ”可知, 农业是研究和开发人工智能(AI)的重要行业之一; 然后文章第二至四段介绍了两个公司的人工智能产品是如何帮助农业生产的。由此可知, 本文的主旨是介绍人工智能在农业中的应用。故选D。

Four Lessons I Learned from Traveling
　　Traveling is a dream! Foreign, faraway countries have fascinated me all the time. 　36　 
　　Independence.
　　In your safe environment where there’s always something or someone to fall back on, feeling independent is not easy. Traveling puts that whole notion of how independent you really are in question. What do you do if you are caught in an airport in the middle of the night? How well do you cope with the situation when your credit card suddenly refuses you? 　37　 
　　Be social.
　　Social skills are something you learn over the years regardless of where you are in the world. Traveling, however, takes being social to the next level! 　38　 Truth is also that while you’re traveling, you often need help or advice from others, meaning that you need to know how to talk to people.  
　　　39　 
　　We think we’re all unique. The truth is that after seeing so many different countries and meeting so many people from all over the world, I’ve come to one conclusion that we’re all mostly the same when it comes to the things that matter.
　　Enjoy life.
　　Before and during our two months of traveling in Central America, we worry about so many things: Will we have all the visas? 　40　 The truth is that everything turns out fine. Always remember that whatever the situation will be, worrying about things going wrong isn’t going to decrease the chance that it actually happens. Just enjoy!  
A. We are all the same.
B. Traveling gives us the same feeling.
C. Because it has taught me many lessons.
D. Will we find the right flights at the right time?
E. Firstly, traveling makes no difference to everyone.
F. The way you react in nerve-wrecking situations accordingly says a lot about how independent you are.
G. You meet so many people from different backgrounds, countries and religions, which makes social skills even more important.

　　A lot of the time when I tell my French friends that I am a vegetarian, a look of horror comes over their faces! “What do you eat? ” they ask me. “You must be so 　41　! ” It has been fascinating, over my year abroad, to 　42　 first-hand the cultural importance of food in different countries and regions. In the United Kingdom, veganism is becoming very 　43　 with around 3 million people currently vegetarian. The city in which I go to university, Glasgow, is known as the “vegan” capital of the UK. However, here in France, I often struggle to find a 　44　 of meat-and-fish-free on a menu, which can make eating in restaurants a bit of a challenge.  
　　People are often curious about my choice and I am 　45　 asked why I choose to limit my 　46　 in the way I do. There are many reasons why people may 　47　 not to eat meat, fish or animal products. Many people 　48　 meat or fish simply 　49　 they do not enjoy the taste or texture. On the other hand, others feel that killing animals or causing them death is morally wrong. 　50　, many people are vegetarians or vegans as a means of protesting (抗议) against the 　51　 attitude towards food of many Western countries. Others feel that raising animals for 　52　 has a negative effect on the environment or that it is bad for health.  
Meatless Monday is a campaign to　53　every household to eat meals which don’t contain meat or fish on Mondays. The campaign aims to 　54　 the carbon footprint of the planet as well as to improve health. This is a great challenge for anyone who would like to try out some vegetarian cooking and is a wonderful way to contribute to 　55　 climate change. I hope you enjoy looking for some amazing vegetarian recipes!

【语篇概述】本文是一篇说明文, 介绍了我国最近设立的“中国农民丰收节”, 文中具体介绍了设立该节日的目的、意义、节日的时间、活动的开展方式等细节内容。
56. 【解析】specifically。考查副词。此处作状语, 修饰created, 所以要用副词。
57. 【解析】starting。考查非谓语动词。此处表示的是该节日开始的时间, start与其逻辑主语之间是主谓关系, 故用现在分词作伴随状语。
58. 【解析】explained。考查动词的时态。根据时间状语Thursday和下文的Han said可知, 此处要用一般过去时。
59. 【解析】to。考查介词。give importance to. . . 是固定搭配, 表示“对……给予重视”, 故填介词to。
60. 【解析】development。考查词性转化。前有形容词比较级faster修饰, 后有介词of, 故应填名词development。
61. 【解析】are encouraged。考查动词的时态和语态。此处表示节日中的一般安排, 应该用一般现在时, 而they(指代farmers)与encourage之间是被动关系, 故填are encouraged。
62. 【解析】but。考查并列连词。从空前的“Some. . . nationwide”和空后的“most of. . . local level”可以看出前后是转折关系, 故填but。
63. 【解析】performances。考查名词复数。根据句子结构判断, 本空要填名词, 而performance在此作“表演”讲, 是可数名词, 前面没有限定词修饰, 所以要用复数。
64. 【解析】the。考查冠词。由于high value后面有定语从句修饰, 所以此处是特指, 故填定冠词the。
65. 【解析】to see。考查非谓语动词。此处是非谓语动词作定语修饰determination, 该词通常接不定式短语作定语。

Dear sir or madam,
I’m writing this letter to call on attention to the community lecture concerning garbage classification. Given that most neighbors fail to classify garbage properly though they really try to, our community will organize this lecture in an attempt to guide this deed.
Garbage classification is of great significance. Firstly, not only can it cope with pollution issues effectively but more space originally occupied by wasteland will be spared. Secondly, we can undeniably make a difference by taking advantage of recyclable garbage.
To fulfill your obligation to live an eco-life, come and join in the lecture to be given at 3 p. m. next Sunday on the playground of Hongqi Primary School. Only with combined efforts can we make our neighborhood better.
Yours,
Hongqi Community
第二节(满分25分)
　　阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
　　A few years ago, I had taken a part-time holiday-season job in a video store at the local shopping mall. From inside the store, I’d begun to see the people rushing by outside. Then an elderly woman caught my eye. Although slow and unsure of step, she moved with deliberation (从容), and there was no hesitation in her gestures. The elderly woman had come into the store along with a younger woman who I guessed was her daughter. The daughter was clearly impatient, rolling her eyes, huffing and sighing(长吁短叹), checking her watch every few seconds.
　　The older woman then separated from the younger one and began to tick through the DVDs on the nearest shelf, obviously expecting someone else to help. After the slightest hesitation, I walked over and asked if I could help her find something. The woman smiled at me and showed me a title scrawled (潦草地写) on a piece of paper. It was a bit unclear to make out. Clearly a person looking for it knew a little about movies, about quality. Rather than rushing off to locate the DVD for the woman, I asked her to walk with me so I could show her where she could find it.
　　Looking back, I think I wanted to enjoy her company for a moment. Something about her deliberate movements reminded me of my own mother, who’d passed away the previous Christmas. As we walked along the back of the store, I introduced her to the different sections: old television shows, action movies, cartoons, science fiction. The woman seemed glad of the unrushed company and casual conversation.
　　We found the movie, and I complimented her on her choice. She smiled and told me it was one she’d enjoyed when she was her daughter’s age and that she hoped she would enjoy it as much as she had. Maybe, she said with a hint of wistfulness(一丝渴望), her daughter could enjoy it with her own young children. Then, when the older woman’s turn in line came, she paid in cash, counting out the dollars and coins with the same sureness she’d displayed earlier.
注意: 续写词数应为150左右。
　　As the cashier put the DVD into a plastic bag, I walked over to the younger woman. ___________________________________________________________

　　As the cashier put the DVD into a plastic bag, I walked over to the younger woman. “Is that your mom? ” I asked, halfway expecting her to tell me it was none of my business. But she rolled her eyes and said, “Yeah. ” I smiled to show her I wasn’t criticizing. “Cherish her, ” I said. And then I answered her curious expression by saying, “When she’s gone, it’s the little moments like this that’ll come back to you. ” It was true. I missed my mother still and remembered the moments when I was so impatient as to make her life miserable.
　　The elderly woman moved with her deliberate slowness back to her daughter. Together they made their way towards the exit of the video store. They stood there for a moment, side by side, waiting for the rushing holiday current and for their place in it. Then the daughter glanced over and momentarily regarded her mother. And slowly, almost reluctantly, she placed her arm with apparently unaccustomed affection around her mother’s shoulders and gently guided her back into the deluge.
