第二部分:阅读理解(共两节,满分35分)
第一节(共10个小题;每小题2.5分,满分25分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
An elderly couple in the UK claimed that they were held hostage(人质)by a pair of seagulls nesting on the roof of their home. Every time they tried to leave, the birds would become aggressive and attack them.
One time, when Roy Pickard decided to take his chances and go outside, the 71-year-old was hit so hard on the back of the head that he had to be taken to the hospital for help. Local authorities(当局)have added a gazebo(露台) to the couple's home, which should offer some protection, but that's the best they can do for now.
“The whole thing has been terrible,” Roy told reporters. “I've not been able to go out of the front door. If I try to get out of the door,the two adult birds are right there,and I've got no chance. It's genuinely frightening. My wife isn't well at the moment,so we're relying on me to get out. “Luckily, the Pickards' garage is connected to their house and he can get out through there when he needs to do some shopping,but he doesn't dare get out of the car to close the garage door, so he always leaves it open until he comes back.
Roy has complained about the situation to both the local authorities and animal organizations like the RSPCA and RSPB, but their solutions have not been very helpful. The Wyer Council says that seagulls are protected while nesting, so all they can do is try to make the couple's life bearable by installing a gazebo and making arrangements so that 77-year-old Brenda can reach her private appointments safely. Unfortunately, animal organizations wouldn't help the Pickards either. For now, all they can do is wait for the chicks to fly away. “The RSPCA and RSPB have been no help whatsoever. They seem to put the rights of these birds above those of people,which is ridiculous,” Roy said.
21.What happened to the Pickards
A.Their house roof was attacked by seagulls B.They were unwilling to go outside the house.
C.They were ill and unable to go shopping by themselves.
D.They were stuck in their own house because of seagull attacks.
22.What did local authorities do to help the Pickards
A.They delivered daily necessities to them by car. B.They built a gazebo to provide some protection.
C.They helped them to build a nest for seagulls elsewhere. D.They made arrangements to have appointments with them.
23.What does Roy imply in the last paragraph
A.The seagulls will fly away sooner or later. B.He believes birds are more valuable than humans.
C.He is disappointed with the animal organizations. D.The authorities are trying everything to help them.
B
Routine work every day makes us feel bored. At such times, hobbies are the best way to provide entertainment. They are also valuable because they help to develop our personality. My hobbies are listening to music and singing. I have a large collection of rapes and I listen to all kinds of music, such as classical music, pop music and rock music.
I often sit with a piece of paper and a pen, and write down the lyrics of the songs that I hear. Then I hum (哼) along to the music and soon I know the tunes(曲调)I turn the tape recorder off and then I pretend to be the singer. I try to sing the song m exactly the way it was sung by the singer. Once I feel that I have sung perfectly I tape my own voice. When listening to the recording, I try to find my faults in singing. This helps me to improve my singing and to turn my talent to my advantage.
Whenever I go to a party, my friends persuade me to sing. Once I begin, people join in and the place is filled with the sound of music. I am proud of myself because I become the life of the party. I play the guitar and sing when we go on a picnic or when I have a free period in school. My hobby makes me happy and also brings joy to my relatives and friends. Everyone should have a hobby. It educates people, gives them pleasure and helps them to make the most of their free time. If a person has no hobby, he will be useless and restless in his spare time. Therefore, it is important to remain busy even in our spare time.
24.What do we know about the author in the first paragraph
A.He thinks highly of hobbies. B.He often listens to music on the radio.
C.Routine work helps him get over boredom. D.Collecting tapes of all kinds of music is his hobby.
25.According ta para.2, what is the correct order of the following events
①I know the tunes. ②I tape my own voice. ③I write down the lyrics. ④I try to sing the song.
A.①②④③ B.①④③② C.③①④② D.③①②④
26.The purpose of this passage is________.
A.encourage people to take up a hobby B.explain what the author likes doing most
C.argue that singing is the most meaningful hobby D.explain how to make the most of one's spare time
C
On a sunny day last August, Daniel Malechuk opened the door to a 7,150-square-meter room just outside Atlanta. Inside, under the soft reddish purple light of LED lamps, grew five varieties of hydroponic lettuce(水栽生菜)arranged nine levels high. A handful of employees were busy harvesting the greens.Their pace matched Malechuk's dream:to grow 10 million heads of lettuce by next spring.
If they succeed, Kalera, the vertical(垂直的)farming company that began operations here in April2O2l, will not only have the largest-yield vertical farm in the Southeast,but will also be Georgia's largest lettuce producer. “This facility will produce 12 times as much lettuce in one year as the entire state can produce in the same amount of time,” Malechuk said excitedly. These farms not dependent on particular weather patterns or areas, can develop well almost anywhere, cutting down transportation costs and related release of gas, waters, etc. And importantly, they operate more cleanly, without producing much waste.
But there's a catch:indoor farms rely on the artificial light of tens of thousands of LED lights. Add to that the energy needed for climate control, water supply and other operations, and a farm like Malechuk's can consume great amounts of energy.
LED systems have become much more efficient, but additional gains will have to come from improving the entire growing system:optimizing(优化)light methods, spacing and nutrients, and determining which varieties of plants produce the best results.
As the price of renewable energy continues to fall, supporters of vertical farming say it can become a more accessible, greener way to put food on the table. Malechuk has said making his greens affordable is an important task and that a head of Kalera lettuce sells for less than $3 in most stores.
27 What is the first paragraph mainly about
A.Malechuk's dream. B.A way to harvest greens.
C.A scene of vertical farming. D.The future of vertical farming.
28.What can we learn about vertical farming from paragraph 2
A.These farms rely on particular weather patterns. B.Vertical farming can be adopted almost everywhere.
C.Vertical farming does great harm to the environment.
D.Vertical farming can produce 12 times more than traditional farming.
29.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “catch”in paragraph 3
A.strength B.choice C.chance D.problem
30.What can be a suitable title for the text
A.Ways to Develop Vertical Farming. B.The Development of Vertical Farming.
C.How to Balance Energy Use and Vertical Farming. D.Vertical Farming--a Way to Rescue the World from Starving.

Developing good study habits means you use your time well. Improving your time management means you can decrease the time it takes to do your work but still increase the quality of what you produce. ___31___ Before we go any further, remember that this is about developing good habits, not skills. Here's how:
Best time of day
There is no one “best”time of day to study. We each have our most productive time of the day, when we have the most energy. Just like each student has a unique learning style, different students may learn better at different times of the day. Then when do you work best ___32___ Find your pattern, and then plan to study at your most productive time.
Look at your goal
Goals will help you stay focused and monitor your progress. Simply sitting down to study has little value. One simple but highly effective habit is to remind yourself of what you're studying for. You must be very clear about what you want to achieve in the future. ___33___
Do something for someone else
Help someone else, and you deepen your own understanding. Ideally this will be with another student, but it doesn't have to be. ___34___Just make sure there is no one else in the house if you do so. Developing good study habits is a process you learn. Some study skills and habits are easy to carry out, others less so. ___35___

B.In other words, less can produce more.
C.You could explain it to yourself in the mirror.
D.Are you an early bird, night owl, or something in between
