    Hunger is a very real problem around the globe. This year, almost 7 million people have died of hunger already. Why do people still die of hunger when there's more than enough food in the world?

    Well, considering that there are places in the world where basic needs like housing and clean, drinkable water are not met, then it doesn't come as a surprise that food is just not accessible to them. The food exists-it just doesn't get to where it needs to be.

    Nigerian farmer Samson Ogbole decided to go ahead and cultivate(培育) fruit and vegetables in a different way. Ogbole's farming process centres around two concepts; soilless farming and aeroponics(气雾栽培). To put it simply-he's growing food in the air.

    As Ogbole explained during a TED talk, aeroponics is the future of agriculture because it offers many benefits. For example, it is cheaper than traditional farming because there is no need to hire as many workers since everything is done with a "click". Also, this kind of farming is more environmentally friendly since farmers don't use pesticides. At the same time, there are no space limitations—planting in the air means you can plant as many layers as you like. The sky is the limit literally!

    So, the young farmer has been practicing aeroponics for more than five years with impressive results. His work was recently praised on social media this summer when he was featured in a network post. In the post, Ogbole's farming method was mentioned, and Internet users had the chance to see pictures of the farmer's produce.

    Many viewers think southern Nigeria needs this method to grow crops. This will help in bringing down the price and avoiding future food blockades from the north. It seems that people are already realizing that this method will change the way people grow food. And, most importantly, it will help solve some of the issues related to hunger around the world.

4、What does the figure in paragraph 1 show?

A. The existing population problem. B. The number of hungry people.

C.The necessity of growing food in the air. D. The seriousness of hunger.

5、Why do people still starve to death in the world according to the text?

A.Food is not equally shared.

B. Their basic needs are not met.

C.There is not enough food supply.

D. They have no scientific planting methods.

6、What is paragraph 4 mainly about?

A.The theory of aeroponics. B.How to grow food in the air.

C. The advantages of aeroponics. D.The downsides of traditional farming.

7、What do viewers think of Ogbole's farming method?

A. Unrealistic. B.Promising. C.Funny. D. Helpless.

    A new study from North Carolina State University found that biology textbooks have done a poor job of including material related to climate change. For example, the study found that most biology textbooks published(出版) in the 2010s included less information about cli-mate change than they did in the previous decade—despite significant advances in our under-standing of how climate change is influencing ecosystems and the environment.

    "In short, we found biology textbooks are failing to share enough information about cli-mate change, which is a generation-defining topic in the life sciences," says Jennifer Landin, author of the study. "These books are the baseline texts for helping students understand the science of life on Earth, yet they are providing very little information about a phenomenon that is having a great impact on habitats, ecosystems, agriculture—almost every aspect(方面) of life on Earth."

    For the study, researchers investigated coverage of climate change in 57 college biology textbooks published between 1970 and 2019. The researchers found climate coverage has varied greatly over those five decades and that the amount of climate coverage in textbooks fell off in the 2010s. In addition to length, the nature of the content has also changed greatly over time.

    "One of the most troubling findings was that textbooks are devoting less space to ad-dressing climate solutions now than they did in the 1990s—even as they focus more on the effects of climate change," Landin says. "That suggests to students that nothing can be done, which is both wildly misleading and contributes to a sense of fatalism(宿命论) regarding cli-mate change."

    "We are hoping that this study will serve as a wake-up call for publishers and instructors. We need to do a much better job of putting climate change into our courses if we want to pre-pare students to understand the role that climate change is playing in shaping life on Earth and how we study it," Landin says.

8、What is the example in paragraph 1 used to do?

A. Show the dissatisfaction with climate change.

B.Prove biology textbooks' poor performance.

C.Attract the attention of students studying biology.

D. Show the content of textbooks published in the 2010s.

9、What is the problem of biology textbooks according to Landin?

A. No enough material about climate change.

B. Not covering every aspect of life on Earth.

C.Providing little new information about biology.

D. No generation-defining topics in the textbooks.

10、How did the researchers conduct the study?

A.By tracking textbook publishers.

B. By doing surveys of students in colleges.

C.By observing climate change for 50 years.

D.By investigating college biology textbooks.

11、What does Landin expect the study to function as?

A. An alarm bell for publishers and teachers.

B. A direction of studying climate change.

C.A wake-up call for biology science.

D.A warning to take biology seriously.

    A healthy diet may not offset(抵消)the effects of a high salt intake on blood pressure, suggests a new study, The research, from scientists at a number of institutions, studied the diets of over 4,000 people. The results showed that people eating higher amounts of salt had higher blood pressure-no matter how healthy a person's overall diet.

    The scientists behind the research are now advising people to monitor their salt intake-and food companies to lower the salt content in their products.

    High blood pressure affects more than one in four adults in the UK, and increases the risk of a number of conditions including heart attacks and stroke. It's thought that vitamins and minerals in fruit and vegetables might in some way affect blood vessels(血管), enabling them to lower blood pressure. Previously, experts believed that eating high amounts of fruit and vegetables might help offset the effects of high salt on blood pressure. However, while these foods do tend to lower blood pressure, the new research suggests they do not offset the adverse influence of high salt intake.

    In the paper, the team studied data from the so-called INTERMAP study. In this study published in 2018, scientists tracked the diets of 4,680 people, aged 40-59, from the USA, the UK, Japan and China, The researchers found a link between high blood pressure and high salt intake, even in people who were on a healthy diet.

    The recommended upper limit of adult salt intake in the UK is 6g a day. The study found that the average salt intake across the study was 10.7g a day. The average intake for the UK was 8.5g, while the intake for the USA, China and Japan were 9.6g, 13.4g and 11.7g respectively.

    Increasing salt intake above this average amount was linked to an increase in blood pressure. Dr Queenie Chan, joint lead author of the research, said the research shows the importance of cutting salt intake.

12、What can food industry do to help lower people's high blood pressure?

A.Make salt-free food only. B. Monitor the quality of their products.

C. Take control of their salt production. D.Cut down salt content in their products.

13、What does the underlined word "adverse" in paragraph 3 mean?

A. Adventurous. B. Harmful.  C.Brief. D. Average.

14、Which of the following nations has the highest average salt intake?

A.The USA. B. The UK. C.China. D.Japan.

15、What can be the best title for the text?

A.A healthy diet may not offset high salt intake

B. High blood pressure is related to high salt intake

C. Research shows the importance of cutting salt intake

D.People eating higher amounts of salt have higher blood pressure

34、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。

    I want to tell you all about Clare. I refer to her as Little Clare because I know so many Clares. I have a feeling no matter how old she gets, she'll always be Little Clare to me.

    My school goes all the way from classes for five years old to classes for 18 years old, with a separate area for the junior and senior school, Last year, I came across my old grade 5 teacher in the library. My teacher called me over and asked how I was going. Then she told me about Clare. "I have a girl in my grade 3 class. Her name's Clare and she reminds me so much of you, Cassie. She seems a little bit lost in class. Do you think you could come down one lunch time and maybe have a chat with her?" Of course I was very keen to do this and to meet Clare in order to find out how, exactly, she was like me.

    Clare turned out to be a pale little girl, slim and small for her age, with beautiful dark eyes and long dark hair in two plaits that reached right down her back. She had a small face with delicate features and was very quiet. Unluckily I said a lot, but I didn't find out what problems the 8-year-old girl had.

    The quiet girl always focused on reading books without any friends. I finally found that she was extremely shy just like me when I was young. So I started visiting the junior school as often as I could during break time to read aloud some of the books to Clare. After a while, other girls started coming to listen, too and I started getting a reputation in the junior school as the "big reading girl". Some days I didn't read and instead just talked to Clare, I told her about the work I was doing sometimes and she always surprised me so much with her great intelligence.

注意:

1.续写词数应为150左右;

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

    One day when I finished my reading, I finally got her response.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

    I still go to see Clare as often as I can.

34、答案：

    One day when I finished my reading, I finally got her response. She said she was thankful for what I'd done for her and that she'd overcome the fear of talking to others. Most importantly, she could focus on her study now with my help. She talked about her friends, school work, books she'd read and things she'd done. We discovered we both enjoyed reading and writing short stories. I recommended The Chronicles of Narnia, explaining that it was a wonderful fantasy series that everyone should read.

    I still go to see Clare as often as I can. There are days when I get so excited about Clare, about how brilliant she is and how far she'll go in life, and about how much she understands about the world. Being with her and talking to her always excite me. She told me about her childhood and her family. We talked about politics and philosophy and other interesting things they don't teach in school at her age. Gradually, we became good friends who talked about everything.
