B卷——大题提能练
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2021·辽宁五校联考)In a long sleeved shirt and jeans, Dieudonne Twahirwa looks nothing like the traditional African farmer.The 30 year old owner of Gashora Farm knows what a difference that makes.
“You need more role models，” he said, standing among knee high rows of chilli (辣椒) plants.“If you have young farmers, having land and driving to the farm, others may think, ‘Why can't I do that？’”
Mr.Twahirwa, a university graduate, bought a friend's tomato farm six years ago for $150.He made $1，500 back in two months.“You have to link farming with entrepreneurship and real numbers，” he said.
Many young Africans are abandoning areas in the countryside, choosing not to work hard and for a long time in the fields—a job made tougher by climate change.
But Twahirwa is one of the growing band of successful farmers working to make agriculture's image on the continent more attractive.Some 1，000 farmers now produce chillies for him.He is starting a fourth farm of his own, and exports fresh and dried chillies and oil to Britain, the United States, India, and Kenya.
Africa has the world's youngest population and 65 percent of its uncultivated arable land (耕地后备资源)．Yet accessing land and loans is difficult, and African productivity is low with crop yields just 56 percent of the international average.
“Agriculture is mainly associated with suffering and no young person wants to suffer，” said Tamara Kaunda.She believes African agriculture needs a change to get rid of its old fashioned image of very hard and tiring work with a hoe.“Show young people tractors, green fields, nice irrigation systems and smartphones，” she said.
Getting young people involved in agriculture does not mean they have to work on a farm.For example, in coffee production, the beans go from the farm to the washing station, then to be separated from the husks (外壳)．
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。非洲青年迪厄多内·特瓦黑尔瓦从事农业生产，他通过自己的努力，获得了巨大的回报；非洲有世界上最年轻的人群与大量的耕地后备资源，但是由于气候变化及农业技术的落后，很多年轻人都不愿意从事农业；迪厄多内·特瓦黑尔瓦则为非洲青年树立了榜样。
1．What does “Why can't I do that？” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Why can't I drive to the farm
B．Why can't they farm
C．They follow the example of those farmers.
D．They bought a friend's tomato farm.
C 解析：句意理解题。根据第二段中的“If you have young farmers, having land and driving to the farm, others may think, ‘Why can't I do that？’”可知，此处表示如果你有年轻的农民，他们有土地，而且开车去农场，其他人可能会想：“为什么我不能那样做？”该句意在表明其他人认为他们可以效仿那些农民的做法。故选C。
2．What makes it harder for farmers to work
A．Poor land. B．Climate change.
C．Low income. D．Long working hours.
B 解析：细节理解题。根据第四段“Many young Africans are abandoning areas in the countryside...a job made tougher by climate change.”可知，在非洲，让农民的劳动难度更大的原因是气候变化。故选B。
3．What can we learn about Twahirwa according to paragraph 5
A．He made a fortune by growing chillies.
B．His chillies are superb in the world.
C．Farmers working for him live a simple life.
D．The locals aren't willing to buy his chillies.
A 解析：推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Some 1，000 farmers now produce chillies for him.He is starting a fourth farm of his own”可推知，他通过种植红辣椒赚了很多钱。故选A。
4．When it comes to agriculture in Africa, what do people think about it
A．Loans are difficult.
B．Most land is uncultivated.
C．Crop yields are rather low.
D．Farming methods are out of date.
D 解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“African agriculture needs a change to get rid of its old fashioned image of very hard and tiring work with a hoe”可知，非洲农业需要改变，以摆脱其传统的形象：使用锄头的非常辛苦和累人的工作。由此可知，当谈及非洲的农业时，人们想到的是落后的耕作方法。故选D。A、B、C三项均为非洲农业的实际情况，不是人们对其的看法。
B
Plants typically endure long, hot days to produce fruits and vegetables. However, the sun's UV rays (紫外线) can damage some crops. Now a team of scientists in Australia has stepped in to lend a helping hand.
A family of nanoparticles (纳米颗粒) known as MOFs can absorb harmful UV rays. Nano engineer Richardson knew for long that some MOFs can turn UV rays into other wavelengths—ones that plants could use for photosynthesis(光合作用). That's the process by which plants produce food from light.
In theory, he could “feed” MOFs to the plants. However, there're some troubles. MOFs are too big for plant roots to take up and cutting open the plants to load them with nanoparticles would damage their body. What's more, Richardson realized the components of MOFs are small. They're so small that plant roots could take them up. Then he had a brainstorm; figure out a way to make these components come together inside the plant and grow into complete MOFs.
With that in mind, his team put the components of MOFs into water. They then placed plants into the liquid. The scientists engineered these MOFs to fluoresce (发荧光). They send out a green light under UV light. This helped confirm the plants built the MOFs on board. Under UV light，the entire plants fluoresced. This showed that MOFs formed in the roots, leaves and other parts of the plants.
The scientists then did a second experiment to check the MOFs carrying plants' effect against UV rays. They exposed the MOFs carrying plants and the ones without MOFs to UV light for three hours. It turned out that the treated ones were in better conditions.
Richardson and his team now plan to study the effects of MOFs on plant growth. “So far we haven't seen any damage MOFs bring to the plants. But all of our experiments were pretty short term，” he admits. “Now we're looking at (possible) long term damage—although we think it's unlikely.”
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。科学家成功让植物体内生成一种可以抵抗紫外线的纳米颗粒，帮助植物将紫外线转化成对光合作用有利的其他射线。
5．According to Richardson, some MOFs can help with crops by ________．
A．playing as shelter against sunlight
B．protecting them from long hot weather
C．developing their ability to absorb UV rays
D．making UV rays beneficial to their growth
D 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“...some MOFs can turn UV rays into other wavelengths—ones that plants could use for photosynthesis (光合作用)”可知，一些纳米颗粒可以帮助植物将紫外线转化成对光合作用有利的其他射线。
6. What's the main problem of theoretically feeding MOFs to plants
A．The insufficient amount of nanoparticles.
B．The plants' inability to load enough MOFs.
C．The unfitted size between plants and MOFs.
D．The potential destruction to MOFs' structure.
C 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段的内容可知，因为纳米颗粒的尺寸和植物的根茎部尺寸不匹配，所以并不能直接给植物“喂”这些纳米颗粒。
7．What did the entire plants' ability to fluoresce show
A．MOFs did no damage to the plants.
B．They did well in absorbing sunlight.
C．MOFs have been built up in the plants.
D．They were exposed to the sun for too long.
C 解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中的“This showed that MOFs formed in the roots, leaves and other parts of the plants.”可知，这个植物能发光说明MOFs纳米颗粒已经在植物体内堆积了。
8. What's Richardson's attitude towards MOFs' damage to plants
A．Negative. B．Objective.
C．Worried. D．Indifferent.
B 解析：观点态度题。根据最后一段中的“So far we haven't seen any damage MOFs bring to the plants. But all of our experiments were pretty short term”可知，对于纳米颗粒对植物可能带来的损害，理查德森持客观的态度。
Ⅱ.完形填空
(2021·山东泰安模拟)At Dayton School, one student has inspired a big change to the curriculum. Morey is the school's first 1 student. The school 2 the opportunity to teach all the students some sign language so as to make her feel 3 ．
Now the walls of halls are lined with the language posters, and students have learned 4 to sign more than 20 words related to school. “ 5 Morey came to our school，” said school Principal Sampietro，“our students knew little about the culture of sign language.” The school installed (安装) a hearing system and 6 an extra teacher to receive special training in putting sign language into every class.

【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。代顿学校一个特殊的学生莫里给这个学校的课程带来了巨大的改变。因为莫里有听力障碍，全校师生便开始学习手语，此外老师们也开始学习针对有残疾的孩子的特殊教育。

(2021·枣庄高三模拟)There was once a wonderful old man who loved everything: animals, spiders, insects and all sorts of living things.
One day while walking through the woods, the old man found a cocoon (茧). He decided to take the cocoon home to watch its beautiful transformation from a little cocoon to a beautiful butterfly.
A few days later, the cocoon started to move. It moved frantically! He sat and watched it struggle and struggle for several hours. But it seemed not to make any progress. Then the old man felt sorry for the little butterfly inside, and rushed to its aid.With a pair of scissors, gently, he cut a little opening in the cocoon so the butterfly could come out. And then the butterfly came out of its cocoon. It had a swollen body and small, fragile wings, but it never was able to fly.
He was quite puzzled. Had he accidentally killed the little butterfly No, it was still moving a little bit. Maybe it was sick. Then he decided that the best thing he could do for the butterfly was to place it gently back into its cocoon. He did so, and placed a drop of honey on it to seal the cocoon, leaving the butterfly to nestle (栖息) in its natural state.
The next day he noticed that the cocoon was moving again. It struggled and struggled. Finally the butterfly broke free from its cocoon and stretched its wings out. Its beautiful wings were filled with wonderful colors! It took off! It was flying!
The wonderful butterfly flew and flew till it was almost out of the old man's sight.“What a joy，” he exclaimed! But then he started to think: what did I do wrong by trying to help that beautiful little butterfly out at first

One possible version：
Finally the answer came out. The butterfly has to struggle and struggle while inside the cocoon. That's how it gets its strength. That's just what the creature is designed to overcome in order to be strong and beautiful. Well, needless to say, the old man finally realized that sometimes appearances aren't what they seem to be. In fact, the seemingly hard time the butterfly was having was what brought the amazing transformation.
Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. Life is full of ups and downs, and we're often confronted in daily life with unexpected problems and outcomes that can easily depress and even defeat us. Sometimes we fail to realize that it's out of the struggles of life that we gain strength and build character. If we were allowed to go through our life without any toughness, it would cripple us. We would not be as strong as what we could have been. And we could never fly.

(2021·辽宁五校联考)In a long sleeved shirt and jeans, Dieudonne Twahirwa looks nothing like the traditional African farmer.The 30 year old owner of Gashora Farm knows what a difference that makes.
“You need more role models，” he said, standing among knee high rows of chilli (辣椒) plants.“If you have young farmers, having land and driving to the farm, others may think, ‘Why can't I do that？’”
Mr.Twahirwa, a university graduate, bought a friend's tomato farm six years ago for $150.He made $1，500 back in two months.“You have to link farming with entrepreneurship and real numbers，” he said.
Many young Africans are abandoning areas in the countryside, choosing not to work hard and for a long time in the fields—a job made tougher by climate change.
But Twahirwa is one of the growing band of successful farmers working to make agriculture's image on the continent more attractive.Some 1，000 farmers now produce chillies for him.He is starting a fourth farm of his own, and exports fresh and dried chillies and oil to Britain, the United States, India, and Kenya.
Africa has the world's youngest population and 65 percent of its uncultivated arable land (耕地后备资源)．Yet accessing land and loans is difficult, and African productivity is low with crop yields just 56 percent of the international average.
“Agriculture is mainly associated with suffering and no young person wants to suffer，” said Tamara Kaunda.She believes African agriculture needs a change to get rid of its old fashioned image of very hard and tiring work with a hoe.“Show young people tractors, green fields, nice irrigation systems and smartphones，” she said.
Getting young people involved in agriculture does not mean they have to work on a farm.For example, in coffee production, the beans go from the farm to the washing station, then to be separated from the husks (外壳)．
1．What does “Why can't I do that？” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Why can't I drive to the farm
B．Why can't they farm
C．They follow the example of those farmers.
D．They bought a friend's tomato farm.
2．What makes it harder for farmers to work
A．Poor land. B．Climate change.
C．Low income. D．Long working hours.
3．What can we learn about Twahirwa according to paragraph 5
A．He made a fortune by growing chillies.
B．His chillies are superb in the world.
C．Farmers working for him live a simple life.
D．The locals aren't willing to buy his chillies.
4．When it comes to agriculture in Africa, what do people think about it
A．Loans are difficult.
B．Most land is uncultivated.
C．Crop yields are rather low.
D．Farming methods are out of date.
B
Plants typically endure long, hot days to produce fruits and vegetables. However, the sun's UV rays (紫外线) can damage some crops. Now a team of scientists in Australia has stepped in to lend a helping hand.
A family of nanoparticles (纳米颗粒) known as MOFs can absorb harmful UV rays. Nano engineer Richardson knew for long that some MOFs can turn UV rays into other wavelengths—ones that plants could use for photosynthesis(光合作用). That's the process by which plants produce food from light.
In theory, he could “feed” MOFs to the plants. However, there're some troubles. MOFs are too big for plant roots to take up and cutting open the plants to load them with nanoparticles would damage their body. What's more, Richardson realized the components of MOFs are small. They're so small that plant roots could take them up. Then he had a brainstorm; figure out a way to make these components come together inside the plant and grow into complete MOFs.
With that in mind, his team put the components of MOFs into water. They then placed plants into the liquid. The scientists engineered these MOFs to fluoresce (发荧光). They send out a green light under UV light. This helped confirm the plants built the MOFs on board. Under UV light，the entire plants fluoresced. This showed that MOFs formed in the roots, leaves and other parts of the plants.
The scientists then did a second experiment to check the MOFs carrying plants' effect against UV rays. They exposed the MOFs carrying plants and the ones without MOFs to UV light for three hours. It turned out that the treated ones were in better conditions.
Richardson and his team now plan to study the effects of MOFs on plant growth. “So far we haven't seen any damage MOFs bring to the plants. But all of our experiments were pretty short term，” he admits. “Now we're looking at (possible) long term damage—although we think it's unlikely.”
5．According to Richardson, some MOFs can help with crops by ________．
A．playing as shelter against sunlight
B．protecting them from long hot weather
C．developing their ability to absorb UV rays
D．making UV rays beneficial to their growth
6. What's the main problem of theoretically feeding MOFs to plants
A．The insufficient amount of nanoparticles.
B．The plants' inability to load enough MOFs.
C．The unfitted size between plants and MOFs.
D．The potential destruction to MOFs' structure.
7．What did the entire plants' ability to fluoresce show
A．MOFs did no damage to the plants.
B．They did well in absorbing sunlight.
C．MOFs have been built up in the plants.
D．They were exposed to the sun for too long.
8. What's Richardson's attitude towards MOFs' damage to plants
A．Negative. B．Objective.
C．Worried. D．Indifferent.

(2021·枣庄高三模拟)There was once a wonderful old man who loved everything: animals, spiders, insects and all sorts of living things.
One day while walking through the woods, the old man found a cocoon (茧). He decided to take the cocoon home to watch its beautiful transformation from a little cocoon to a beautiful butterfly.
A few days later, the cocoon started to move. It moved frantically! He sat and watched it struggle and struggle for several hours. But it seemed not to make any progress. Then the old man felt sorry for the little butterfly inside, and rushed to its aid.With a pair of scissors, gently, he cut a little opening in the cocoon so the butterfly could come out. And then the butterfly came out of its cocoon. It had a swollen body and small, fragile wings, but it never was able to fly.
He was quite puzzled. Had he accidentally killed the little butterfly No, it was still moving a little bit. Maybe it was sick. Then he decided that the best thing he could do for the butterfly was to place it gently back into its cocoon. He did so, and placed a drop of honey on it to seal the cocoon, leaving the butterfly to nestle (栖息) in its natural state.
The next day he noticed that the cocoon was moving again. It struggled and struggled. Finally the butterfly broke free from its cocoon and stretched its wings out. Its beautiful wings were filled with wonderful colors! It took off! It was flying!
The wonderful butterfly flew and flew till it was almost out of the old man's sight.“What a joy，” he exclaimed! But then he started to think: what did I do wrong by trying to help that beautiful little butterfly out at first
