(2024山东滕州一中月考)
In a street largely unchanged since it was built in the 1800s, Hobart's Battery Point is probably the last place you would expect to find a farm.
In one corner of Peter Handy's backyard is a controlled environment unit that houses the vertical farm(垂直农场), the first of its kind in the southern hemisphere (半球). Mr. Handy is changing the definition of what it means to be a farmer. “I know it's really funny, because when people say to me, ‘Where's your farm ’, I'll say, ‘It's in Battery Point.’ and they're like, ‘No, there's no farm in Battery Point.’,” he said. “People think the Martians(火星人) have landed because we've got this massive pink light that comes out of it from the bottom, but other than that, they have no idea.”
Not just a backyard project, Mr. Handy is running a business. “It's here because I need to be as close as possible to my customers, the chefs and restaurants of Hobart,” he said. “I aim to use the fewest food miles and make this a super-efficient business.”
Using LED lights and hydroponic nutrients, the farm grows leafy greens, root vegetables and flowering plants. “I don't have to worry about floods, winds, wild animals, electric fences, turning the soil over,” Mr. Handy said. Using 95 percent less water than traditional farming, the farm ticks all the boxes environmentally. “I mean, this is definitely not the answer to food sustainability(可持续性) in the world. But it's definitely part of it.”
Science writer Julian Cribb believes a world food crisis is coming, due to a combination of loss of water, loss of topsoil, climate change and overuse of chemicals. “We're going to need to change the way we produce food and change the human diet at the same time,” he said, “and new urban farming methods would make most of the world's great cities feed themselves.”
Mr. Cribb said Australia was still quite a way off from adopting urban farming. But he believes that it poses a rather unique opportunity for Australian farmers to sell their professional knowledge to cities, teaching people to grow food in urban environments.
1.What might people think of Mr. Handy's farm
A.Scary. B.Impressive. C.Disappointing. D.Confusing.
2.What does Mr. Handy say about his farm
A.It is not affected by weather. B.It mainly produces flowers.
C.It serves customers from near and far. D.It is the solution to food shortages.
3.What's the purpose of Mr. Cribb's words in Paragraph 5
A.To praise his contribution to science.
B.To explain how urban farming works.
C.To stress the necessity of urban farming.
D.To present the seriousness of the food crisis.
4.What's the passage mainly about
A.Cities are struggling to get food.
B.Technology is changing people's life.
C.Peter Handy is a successful businessman.
D.Food production is being moved into cities.
Ⅳ.七选五
(2024山西大同月考)
Americans cover millions of acres of valuable agricultural land around their homes with lawn, bushes or trees. Yet as a landscape designer, I know most edible(可食用的) plants are beautiful and that homeowners could grow a meaningful amount of food in their yards. I'm convinced that an edible landscape is the most interesting landscape concept for the future. 1 .
Food Safety. You know which chemicals you use, and huge batches of vegetables won't be combined and therefore can't make each other dirty.
2 . Food from your yard requires no shipping and little refrigeration, and less energy is used to plow, sow the seeds, spray the plants, and harvest the produce.
Water Savings. Tests show that most home gardeners use less than half of the water agricultural production needs to produce a crop. 3 . And unlike in agriculture, fields aren't flooded and huge barrels(桶) of water aren't needed to cool down the harvest.
Money Savings. You can grow an unbelievable amount of food in a beautiful small space. See Grow $700 of Food in 100 Square Feet and my website for exact figures for some popular crops.
Better Nutrition. 4 , fully ripe, just-picked, homegrown fruits and vegetables have more vitamins than supermarket produce that is usually picked under-ripe and is days or weeks old when you eat it.
If you'd like to try a fun, helpful garden planning tool, as you get started on your edible landscape, 5 .
A.Time Savings
B.Energy Savings
C.If eaten soon after picked
D.you can start your edible landscape
E.Drip irrigation(滴灌) saves even more water
F.Edible landscapes offer incredible benefits
G.check out the new Vegetable Garden Planner

(2023广西南宁三校联合调研)
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 grew up in a poor family with six brothers, three sisters, my father and mother. We had little money and few goods, but plenty of love and attention. I was happy and energetic. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, he could still afford a dream.
My dream was to be an athlete. By the time I was sixteen, I could throw a ninety-mile-per-hour fastball and hit anything moving on the baseball field. And I was so lucky that my high school coach was Ollie Jarvis, who not only believed in me, but often told me “Dream is priceless.” However, when I was about to get off the ground, one particular incident happened, which almost ruined my long-held dream.
It was the summer holiday in Senior Two and a friend recommended me for a summer job. I was offered $12.25 per pared with the average $3.5, that was a big sum. I was so excited, because this meant a chance of money in my pocket, certainly money for a new bike and new clothes, and the start of savings for a house for my mother. The prospect(前景) of the job was inviting, and I jumped at the opportunity.
Then I realized I would have to give up summer baseball training to handle the work schedule. I didn't dare to tell my coach. I thought of the advice my mother often gave me when I lacked courage, “If you make your bed, you have to lie on it.” I decided to talk to my coach in person. After all, my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worthy of his disappointment.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
I gathered my courage and knocked at his door.
That question reminded me of what my coach used to say.

Part 3 Using Language, AssessingYour Progress & Video Time
基础过关练
Ⅰ.1.widespread 2.aspects 3.instance
Ⅱ.1.名词;品质 句意:坚持不懈是一种宝贵的品质。
2.名词;特点,特征 句意:这群人有一个共同的特点——他们都在30岁以下。
3.形容词;特有的,独特的 句意:香蕉有它们自己独特的气味。
4.动词;消化 句意:红茶可以帮助你的胃容易地消化食物。
5.动词;领会,理解 句意:他停顿了一下,等着她领会这个信息。
6.名词;文摘 句意:《读者文摘》杂志以使复杂的话题为数百万读者所理解而闻名。
Ⅲ.1.depths 考查名词。句意:小路一直延伸到森林深处。由设空处前后的“the...of”结构可知,设空处是中心词,应用名词形式。the depths of the forest意为“森林深处”。故填depths。
易错归因 本题易误填depth。注意这里表示“深处”,应用复数形式。单数形式depth表示“深度”。
2.in 考查介词。句意:所有理论都源于实践,并反过来为实践服务。in turn意为“反过来;转而”。故填in。
3.nutritious 考查形容词。设空处在句中作表语,表示主语Food的性质,所以应填形容词形式,故填nutritious,表示“有营养的;营养丰富的”。
4.convincing 考查形容词。句意:说真话最大的优势就是听上去更可能令人信服。设空处作表语,表示“令人信服的”,应用-ing形式的形容词。故填 convincing。
5.doing 考查动名词。句意:由于她所有的时间都用于做实验,她没有时间娱乐。分析句子结构可知,整个句子为一个简单句,逗号前构成独立主格结构,空前的All her time与devote之间为被动关系,主动语态为devote all her time to (do) experiments,所以设空处应使用动名词形式。故填doing。
6.in 考查介词。句意:这种新疗法植根于科学研究,为罕见病患者带来了希望。be rooted in表示“根源在于……”。故填in。该句中 Rooted in scientific research位于句首作状语。
7.entirely 考查副词。句意:我们正在寻找一位校长,一个要完全致力于教育事业的人。设空处作状语修饰动词devote,应用副词形式,表示“完全地”。故填entirely。
8.get 考查虚拟语气。It is essential that...句式中,It作形式主语,essential为表语,that引导主语从句,从句需用虚拟语气,谓语使用“should+动词原形”的形式,其中should可以省略。故填get。句意:在作出推论之前,他获得一些可靠的信息是很重要的。
Ⅳ.1.make our room(s) clean and tidy 2.I'm convinced that 3.had no alternative but to turn to 4.It is/was estimated that 5.It can easily be seen that
能力提升练
Ⅰ.1.have been 考查动词的时态及主谓一致。此处指自20世纪50年代以来,它们就已经被广泛使用。由since the 1950s可知此处应用现在完成时,主语为they,故填have been。
2.going 考查现在分词。time与go by之间为主动关系,with time going by意为“随着时间的流逝”。故填going。
3.used 考查过去分词。此处指如果长时间使用,它们对环境和人体健康是有害的。use与其逻辑主语they之间为被动关系,应用过去分词,故填used。
4.To tackle 考查动词不定式。此处指为了解决这个问题,一些农民已经转向有机农业作为替代。设空处表示目的, 故填To tackle。
5.as 考查介词。此处表示“作为”, 应用介词as。
6.a 考查冠词。favorite在这里作名词,表示“特别喜爱的事物”,此处第一次提到,表泛指,且favorite的发音以辅音音素开头,故用不定冠词a。
7.natural 考查形容词。设空处作定语修饰名词means,故用形容词形式natural。
8.whose 考查定语从句。设空处无提示词且前面有逗号,逗号前面是一个完整的句子,故推测设空处引导非限制性定语从句,此处表示“不同的有机(耕作)的方法已经被提出,这些方法的目的是在种植优质食物的同时避免对环境和人们的健康造成损害”,结合此处表达的意思可知,此处非限制性定语从句的先行词为Different organic methods,关系词在从句中作定语。故填whose。
9.instantly 考查副词。设空处作状语,所以应该用副词形式,故填instantly。
10.solution 考查名词。此处指科学家在找到合适的解决办法之前还有很长一段路要走。设空处作动词find的宾语,且由前面的不定冠词a可知此处应用单数名词solution。
Ⅱ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了稻米的历史以及重要作用。
1.as 考查介词。serve as为固定搭配,表示“用作;起……作用”。故填as。句意:在许多国家广泛种植的水稻是全球一半以上人口的主要食物来源。
2.began 考查时态。设空处为本句谓语,由句中的状语in ancient China可推知,此处表示过去发生的事情,应用一般过去时。故填began。句意:中国人在古代就开始种植野生稻,学习如何在田里种植水稻并提高其质量。
3.It 考查代词。本句使用了“It is believed that...”结构,意为“人们认为……,据信……”,其中It作形式主语,that引导主语从句。故填It。句意:人们普遍认为,水稻种植起源于中国的长江流域,距今约13,500年至8,200年。
4.has been passed 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。设空处为本句谓语,由句中的时间状语Since then可推知,空处应该用现在完成时。pass在句中表示“传递;使流通”,为及物动词,主语rice与其为被动关系,故用被动语态。主语rice为不可数名词,所以谓语动词应用单数形式,故填has been passed。句意:从那时起,大米就通过迁徙和贸易在世界各地流通。
5.primarily 考查副词。设空处修饰空后的介词短语,作状语,应用副词形式。故填primarily。句意:目前,世界上一半的人口食用大米,主要分布在亚洲、南欧以及美洲和非洲的某些热带地区。
6.varieties 考查名词复数。句意:随着时间的推移,多种多样的米饭被开发出来,以适应不同的地区和偏好。varieties of=a variety of,表示“各种各样的”。故填varieties。
7.found 考查过去分词。句意:世界各地可以找到不同的米饭菜肴,包括西班牙什锦饭、寿司、石锅拌饭、意大利调味饭和美国南部的什锦饭。本句是there be结构,所以设空处应用非谓语动词形式。根据句子结构可知设空处作后置定语,修饰名词短语rice dishes,且两者有被动关系,所以用过去分词。故填found。
8.shortages 考查名词。设空处与food构成名词短语,作主语,应用名词形式,结合系动词使用了复数形式are可知,空处用shortages,意为“缺少,不足”。food shortages意为“粮食短缺”。
9.who/that 考查定语从句。句意:袁隆平是著名的中国科学家,他毕生致力于研发高产水稻,为改善稻米品质和满足世界各地日益增长的粮食需求做出了重大贡献。设空处引导限制性定语从句,修饰人,关系词在从句中作主语,所以用关系代词who或that。
10.rising 考查现在分词。该句为含有定语从句的主从复合句,主句中已有谓语made,所以设空处应用非谓语动词。设空处作定语修饰名词demand,rise与demand之间有主动关系,且表示正在进行的动作,所以用现在分词形式。故填rising。
【高频词汇】 1.quality n.质量;品质 2.originate v.起源,发源 3.currently adv.目前,当下 4.preference n.爱好;偏爱 5.vital adj.极其重要的 6.significant adj.有重大意义的;显著的 7.demand n.要求;需求 v.强烈要求;需要
【差距词汇】 1.migration n.迁移;迁徙;移居
2.renowned adj.有名望的;著名的
长难句
原句 Yuan Longping, a renowned Chinese scientist who/that devoted his life to developing high-yielding rice, made significant contributions to improving rice quality and meeting the rising demand for food around the world.
分析 这是一个主从复合句。主句主语为Yuan Longping, a renowned Chinese scientist...rice为主语的同位语。who/that devoted his life to developing high-yielding rice为定语从句,修饰先行词scientist,其中动名词developing是介词to的宾语;主句谓语部分是made significant contributions to,其中介词to的宾语是由and连接的并列结构构成(improving...和meeting...);现在分词rising作定语,修饰名词demand。
译文 袁隆平是著名的中国科学家,他毕生致力于研发高产水稻,为改善稻米品质和满足世界各地日益增长的粮食需求做出了重大贡献。
Ⅲ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了Peter Handy的城市农场,以及在城市里种植的必要性。
1.D 推理判断题。根据第二段最后两句可知,人们认为Battery Point没有农场;垂直农场发出的巨大的粉红色光线让人们误认为是火星人着陆了。故可推知,人们对Handy先生的农场感到困惑。故选D。
2.A 推理判断题。根据第四段的第二句Handy先生所说的话“我不必担心洪水、风、野生动物、电栅栏、翻土”可推知,Handy先生的农场不会受到天气的影响。故选A。
3.C 推理判断题。第五段中Cribb 认为,一场世界粮食危机即将到来。我们将需要改变我们生产食物的方式,同时改变人类的饮食,而新的城市农业方法会使世界上大多数大城市都能自给自足。由此可推知,Cribb的话的目的是强调发展城市农业的必要性。故选C。
4.D 主旨大意题。文章第一段提到农场建在了城市的街道;第二、三、四段具体介绍了该农场;第五段讲了在城市建农场的必要性;最后一段提到澳大利亚采用城市农场的方法还需要相当长的时间,但它为农民提供了一个机会,可以向城市出售他们的专业知识,教人们在城市环境中种植粮食。由以上信息可推知,本文主要讲了农业种植向城市发展。D项“粮食生产正在向城市转移”能够概括文章内容。故选D。
【高频词汇】 1.massive adj.巨大的;非常严重的
2.definitely adv.肯定;确实 3.due to由于 4.loss n.失去,损失 5.adopt v.采用;采取;采纳;领养 6.unique adj.独特的;唯一的;特有的
【熟词生义】 1.house v.容纳,提供地方 2.greens n.绿叶蔬菜
【差距词汇】 hydroponic adj.水栽的
长难句
原句 People think the Martians have landed because we've got this massive pink light that comes out of it from the bottom, but other than that, they have no idea.
分析 本句是一个并列复合句。并列连词but连接前后表示转折意义的两个分句。在第一个分句中,think 后的the Martians have landed是一个省略连接词的宾语从句;连词because引导原因状语从句;light后的 that引导定语从句且在从句中作主语。在第二个分句中,other than that为状语。
译文 人们认为火星人着陆了,因为从垂直农场的底部发出了巨大的粉红色光线,但除此之外,他们一无所知。
Ⅳ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。作为景观设计师的作者向人们建议在自己的院子里种植既可食用又美观的植物。
1.F 过渡句。根据上句“I'm convinced that an edible landscape is the most interesting landscape concept for the future.”可知,作者认为可食用景观有发展前景。结合下文段落主旨句 “Food Safety(食品安全)”“Water Savings.(节约水)”“Money Savings.(节约钱)”以及“Better Nutrition.(更好的营养)”可知,下文提到的都是可食用景观的好处。F项“可食用景观提供了难以置信的好处”引出下文可食用景观的好处,符合逻辑,其中benefits为关键词。故选F。
2.B 主旨句。设空处在段首,根据语篇结构可知,设空处为主旨句。根据下文提到的“你院子里的食物不需要运输,需要很少的冷藏,更少的能源用来耕地、播种、喷洒和收获”可推知,种植在自己院子里的可食用景观更加节能。故B项“节约能源”能够概括本段内容。故选B。
3.E 细节句。根据本段主旨句“Water Savings.”可知,本段内容应是在自己的院子里种植可以节约水。分析选项可知,E项“滴灌甚至会节约更多的水”与节约水有关,符合逻辑。故选E。
4.C 细节句。设空处为前半句,后半句讲到完全成熟的、刚采摘的、家种的水果和蔬菜要比超市里那些通常是在未成熟的时候采摘的、几天或几周后才吃的水果和蔬菜含有更多的维生素。结合选项可推知,C项 “如果采摘后立即食用”能与下文连成一句,整句将家里种植的水果和蔬菜与超市的水果和蔬菜进行比较。故选C。
5.G 细节句。设空处为后半句,由空前的逗号可知,空处选项首字母不可以大写。分析选项可知,仅能从D项和G项中选择,而D项内容与前文“as you get started on your edible landscape”有较大重复,所以排除D项。故选G。
【高频词汇】 1.landscape n.风景,景色 2.therefore adv.因此 3.harvest v.& n. 收获 4.figure n.数字;人物;身材 5.vitamin n.维生素 6.incredible adj.难以置信的 7.check out查看
【差距词汇】 1.plow v.耕(地) 2.spray v.向……喷洒
长难句
原句 If eaten soon after picked, fully ripe, just-picked, homegrown fruits and vegetables have more vitamins than supermarket produce that is usually picked under-ripe and is days or weeks old when you eat it.
分析 这是一个主从复合句。句子主干是fully ripe, just-picked, homegrown fruits and vegetables have more vitamins than supermarket produce;If eaten...是状语从句的省略形式,还原后为If fruits and vegetables are eaten soon after they are picked,作条件状语;that引导定语从句,修饰先行词produce,定语从句的谓语由并列连词and连接;连词when引导时间状语从句。
译文 如果即摘即吃,完全成熟的、刚采摘的、家种的水果和蔬菜要比超市里那些通常是在未成熟的时候采摘的、几天或几周后才吃的水果和蔬菜含有更多的维生素。

One possible version:
I gathered my courage and knocked at his door. The moment he heard me out, his face turned purple. He glared at me like a bull. “You have your whole life to work,” he said, “but your playing days are limited. You can't afford to waste them.” I stood before him with my head down. “How much will you be paid, son ” he demanded. “$12.25 per hour.” “Well,” he shrugged. “Is $12.25 an hour the price of a dream ”
That question reminded me of what my coach used to say. Yes, the dream is priceless. It's stupid to earn pocket money at the expense of my dream. I held my head high and said firmly, “Sorry, Mr. Jarvis. I know what to do next.” My coach smiled with great satisfaction. That summer I dedicated myself to baseball training. And one year later, I obtained a baseball scholarship to the university. I knew I would soon buy my mom a house. Thankfully, I made a right choice. Without Mr. Jarvis, I would never know I could afford a dream.

In a street largely unchanged since it was built in the 1800s, Hobart's Battery Point is probably the last place you would expect to find a farm.
In one corner of Peter Handy's backyard is a controlled environment unit that houses the vertical farm(垂直农场), the first of its kind in the southern hemisphere (半球). Mr. Handy is changing the definition of what it means to be a farmer. “I know it's really funny, because when people say to me, ‘Where's your farm ’, I'll say, ‘It's in Battery Point.’ and they're like, ‘No, there's no farm in Battery Point.’,” he said. “People think the Martians(火星人) have landed because we've got this massive pink light that comes out of it from the bottom, but other than that, they have no idea.”
Not just a backyard project, Mr. Handy is running a business. “It's here because I need to be as close as possible to my customers, the chefs and restaurants of Hobart,” he said. “I aim to use the fewest food miles and make this a super-efficient business.”
Using LED lights and hydroponic nutrients, the farm grows leafy greens, root vegetables and flowering plants. “I don't have to worry about floods, winds, wild animals, electric fences, turning the soil over,” Mr. Handy said. Using 95 percent less water than traditional farming, the farm ticks all the boxes environmentally. “I mean, this is definitely not the answer to food sustainability(可持续性) in the world. But it's definitely part of it.”
Science writer Julian Cribb believes a world food crisis is coming, due to a combination of loss of water, loss of topsoil, climate change and overuse of chemicals. “We're going to need to change the way we produce food and change the human diet at the same time,” he said, “and new urban farming methods would make most of the world's great cities feed themselves.”
Mr. Cribb said Australia was still quite a way off from adopting urban farming. But he believes that it poses a rather unique opportunity for Australian farmers to sell their professional knowledge to cities, teaching people to grow food in urban environments.
1.What might people think of Mr. Handy's farm
A.Scary. B.Impressive. C.Disappointing. D.Confusing.
2.What does Mr. Handy say about his farm
A.It is not affected by weather. B.It mainly produces flowers.
C.It serves customers from near and far. D.It is the solution to food shortages.
3.What's the purpose of Mr. Cribb's words in Paragraph 5
A.To praise his contribution to science.
B.To explain how urban farming works.
C.To stress the necessity of urban farming.
D.To present the seriousness of the food crisis.
4.What's the passage mainly about
A.Cities are struggling to get food.
B.Technology is changing people's life.
C.Peter Handy is a successful businessman.
D.Food production is being moved into cities.

Americans cover millions of acres of valuable agricultural land around their homes with lawn, bushes or trees. Yet as a landscape designer, I know most edible(可食用的) plants are beautiful and that homeowners could grow a meaningful amount of food in their yards. I'm convinced that an edible landscape is the most interesting landscape concept for the future. 1 .
Food Safety. You know which chemicals you use, and huge batches of vegetables won't be combined and therefore can't make each other dirty.
2 . Food from your yard requires no shipping and little refrigeration, and less energy is used to plow, sow the seeds, spray the plants, and harvest the produce.
Water Savings. Tests show that most home gardeners use less than half of the water agricultural production needs to produce a crop. 3 . And unlike in agriculture, fields aren't flooded and huge barrels(桶) of water aren't needed to cool down the harvest.
Money Savings. You can grow an unbelievable amount of food in a beautiful small space. See Grow $700 of Food in 100 Square Feet and my website for exact figures for some popular crops.
Better Nutrition. 4 , fully ripe, just-picked, homegrown fruits and vegetables have more vitamins than supermarket produce that is usually picked under-ripe and is days or weeks old when you eat it.
If you'd like to try a fun, helpful garden planning tool, as you get started on your edible landscape, 5 .
A.Time Savings
B.Energy Savings
C.If eaten soon after picked
D.you can start your edible landscape
E.Drip irrigation(滴灌) saves even more water
F.Edible landscapes offer incredible benefits
G.check out the new Vegetable Garden Planner

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 grew up in a poor family with six brothers, three sisters, my father and mother. We had little money and few goods, but plenty of love and attention. I was happy and energetic. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, he could still afford a dream.
My dream was to be an athlete. By the time I was sixteen, I could throw a ninety-mile-per-hour fastball and hit anything moving on the baseball field. And I was so lucky that my high school coach was Ollie Jarvis, who not only believed in me, but often told me “Dream is priceless.” However, when I was about to get off the ground, one particular incident happened, which almost ruined my long-held dream.
It was the summer holiday in Senior Two and a friend recommended me for a summer job. I was offered $12.25 per pared with the average $3.5, that was a big sum. I was so excited, because this meant a chance of money in my pocket, certainly money for a new bike and new clothes, and the start of savings for a house for my mother. The prospect(前景) of the job was inviting, and I jumped at the opportunity.
Then I realized I would have to give up summer baseball training to handle the work schedule. I didn't dare to tell my coach. I thought of the advice my mother often gave me when I lacked courage, “If you make your bed, you have to lie on it.” I decided to talk to my coach in person. After all, my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worthy of his disappointment.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
I gathered my courage and knocked at his door.
That question reminded me of what my coach used to say.

基础过关练
Ⅰ.1.widespread 2.aspects 3.instance
Ⅱ.1.名词;品质 句意:坚持不懈是一种宝贵的品质。
2.名词;特点,特征 句意:这群人有一个共同的特点——他们都在30岁以下。
3.形容词;特有的,独特的 句意:香蕉有它们自己独特的气味。
4.动词;消化 句意:红茶可以帮助你的胃容易地消化食物。
5.动词;领会,理解 句意:他停顿了一下,等着她领会这个信息。
6.名词;文摘 句意:《读者文摘》杂志以使复杂的话题为数百万读者所理解而闻名。
Ⅲ.1.depths 考查名词。句意:小路一直延伸到森林深处。由设空处前后的“the...of”结构可知,设空处是中心词,应用名词形式。the depths of the forest意为“森林深处”。故填depths。
易错归因 本题易误填depth。注意这里表示“深处”,应用复数形式。单数形式depth表示“深度”。
2.in 考查介词。句意:所有理论都源于实践,并反过来为实践服务。in turn意为“反过来;转而”。故填in。
3.nutritious 考查形容词。设空处在句中作表语,表示主语Food的性质,所以应填形容词形式,故填nutritious,表示“有营养的;营养丰富的”。
4.convincing 考查形容词。句意:说真话最大的优势就是听上去更可能令人信服。设空处作表语,表示“令人信服的”,应用-ing形式的形容词。故填 convincing。
5.doing 考查动名词。句意:由于她所有的时间都用于做实验,她没有时间娱乐。分析句子结构可知,整个句子为一个简单句,逗号前构成独立主格结构,空前的All her time与devote之间为被动关系,主动语态为devote all her time to (do) experiments,所以设空处应使用动名词形式。故填doing。
6.in 考查介词。句意:这种新疗法植根于科学研究,为罕见病患者带来了希望。be rooted in表示“根源在于……”。故填in。该句中 Rooted in scientific research位于句首作状语。
7.entirely 考查副词。句意:我们正在寻找一位校长,一个要完全致力于教育事业的人。设空处作状语修饰动词devote,应用副词形式,表示“完全地”。故填entirely。
8.get 考查虚拟语气。It is essential that...句式中,It作形式主语,essential为表语,that引导主语从句,从句需用虚拟语气,谓语使用“should+动词原形”的形式,其中should可以省略。故填get。句意:在作出推论之前,他获得一些可靠的信息是很重要的。
Ⅳ.1.make our room(s) clean and tidy 2.I'm convinced that 3.had no alternative but to turn to 4.It is/was estimated that 5.It can easily be seen that
能力提升练
Ⅰ.1.have been 考查动词的时态及主谓一致。此处指自20世纪50年代以来,它们就已经被广泛使用。由since the 1950s可知此处应用现在完成时,主语为they,故填have been。
2.going 考查现在分词。time与go by之间为主动关系,with time going by意为“随着时间的流逝”。故填going。
3.used 考查过去分词。此处指如果长时间使用,它们对环境和人体健康是有害的。use与其逻辑主语they之间为被动关系,应用过去分词,故填used。
4.To tackle 考查动词不定式。此处指为了解决这个问题,一些农民已经转向有机农业作为替代。设空处表示目的, 故填To tackle。
5.as 考查介词。此处表示“作为”, 应用介词as。
6.a 考查冠词。favorite在这里作名词,表示“特别喜爱的事物”,此处第一次提到,表泛指,且favorite的发音以辅音音素开头,故用不定冠词a。
7.natural 考查形容词。设空处作定语修饰名词means,故用形容词形式natural。
8.whose 考查定语从句。设空处无提示词且前面有逗号,逗号前面是一个完整的句子,故推测设空处引导非限制性定语从句,此处表示“不同的有机(耕作)的方法已经被提出,这些方法的目的是在种植优质食物的同时避免对环境和人们的健康造成损害”,结合此处表达的意思可知,此处非限制性定语从句的先行词为Different organic methods,关系词在从句中作定语。故填whose。
9.instantly 考查副词。设空处作状语,所以应该用副词形式,故填instantly。
10.solution 考查名词。此处指科学家在找到合适的解决办法之前还有很长一段路要走。设空处作动词find的宾语,且由前面的不定冠词a可知此处应用单数名词solution。
Ⅱ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了稻米的历史以及重要作用。
1.as 考查介词。serve as为固定搭配,表示“用作;起……作用”。故填as。句意:在许多国家广泛种植的水稻是全球一半以上人口的主要食物来源。
2.began 考查时态。设空处为本句谓语,由句中的状语in ancient China可推知,此处表示过去发生的事情,应用一般过去时。故填began。句意:中国人在古代就开始种植野生稻,学习如何在田里种植水稻并提高其质量。
3.It 考查代词。本句使用了“It is believed that...”结构,意为“人们认为……,据信……”,其中It作形式主语,that引导主语从句。故填It。句意:人们普遍认为,水稻种植起源于中国的长江流域,距今约13,500年至8,200年。
4.has been passed 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。设空处为本句谓语,由句中的时间状语Since then可推知,空处应该用现在完成时。pass在句中表示“传递;使流通”,为及物动词,主语rice与其为被动关系,故用被动语态。主语rice为不可数名词,所以谓语动词应用单数形式,故填has been passed。句意:从那时起,大米就通过迁徙和贸易在世界各地流通。
5.primarily 考查副词。设空处修饰空后的介词短语,作状语,应用副词形式。故填primarily。句意:目前,世界上一半的人口食用大米,主要分布在亚洲、南欧以及美洲和非洲的某些热带地区。
6.varieties 考查名词复数。句意:随着时间的推移,多种多样的米饭被开发出来,以适应不同的地区和偏好。varieties of=a variety of,表示“各种各样的”。故填varieties。
7.found 考查过去分词。句意:世界各地可以找到不同的米饭菜肴,包括西班牙什锦饭、寿司、石锅拌饭、意大利调味饭和美国南部的什锦饭。本句是there be结构,所以设空处应用非谓语动词形式。根据句子结构可知设空处作后置定语,修饰名词短语rice dishes,且两者有被动关系,所以用过去分词。故填found。
8.shortages 考查名词。设空处与food构成名词短语,作主语,应用名词形式,结合系动词使用了复数形式are可知,空处用shortages,意为“缺少,不足”。food shortages意为“粮食短缺”。
9.who/that 考查定语从句。句意:袁隆平是著名的中国科学家,他毕生致力于研发高产水稻,为改善稻米品质和满足世界各地日益增长的粮食需求做出了重大贡献。设空处引导限制性定语从句,修饰人,关系词在从句中作主语,所以用关系代词who或that。
10.rising 考查现在分词。该句为含有定语从句的主从复合句,主句中已有谓语made,所以设空处应用非谓语动词。设空处作定语修饰名词demand,rise与demand之间有主动关系,且表示正在进行的动作,所以用现在分词形式。故填rising。
【高频词汇】 1.quality n.质量;品质 2.originate v.起源,发源 3.currently adv.目前,当下 4.preference n.爱好;偏爱 5.vital adj.极其重要的 6.significant adj.有重大意义的;显著的 7.demand n.要求;需求 v.强烈要求;需要

长难句
原句 Yuan Longping, a renowned Chinese scientist who/that devoted his life to developing high-yielding rice, made significant contributions to improving rice quality and meeting the rising demand for food around the world.
分析 这是一个主从复合句。主句主语为Yuan Longping, a renowned Chinese scientist...rice为主语的同位语。who/that devoted his life to developing high-yielding rice为定语从句,修饰先行词scientist,其中动名词developing是介词to的宾语;主句谓语部分是made significant contributions to,其中介词to的宾语是由and连接的并列结构构成(improving...和meeting...);现在分词rising作定语,修饰名词demand。
译文 袁隆平是著名的中国科学家,他毕生致力于研发高产水稻,为改善稻米品质和满足世界各地日益增长的粮食需求做出了重大贡献。
Ⅲ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了Peter Handy的城市农场,以及在城市里种植的必要性。
1.D 推理判断题。根据第二段最后两句可知,人们认为Battery Point没有农场;垂直农场发出的巨大的粉红色光线让人们误认为是火星人着陆了。故可推知,人们对Handy先生的农场感到困惑。故选D。
2.A 推理判断题。根据第四段的第二句Handy先生所说的话“我不必担心洪水、风、野生动物、电栅栏、翻土”可推知,Handy先生的农场不会受到天气的影响。故选A。
3.C 推理判断题。第五段中Cribb 认为,一场世界粮食危机即将到来。我们将需要改变我们生产食物的方式,同时改变人类的饮食,而新的城市农业方法会使世界上大多数大城市都能自给自足。由此可推知,Cribb的话的目的是强调发展城市农业的必要性。故选C。
4.D 主旨大意题。文章第一段提到农场建在了城市的街道;第二、三、四段具体介绍了该农场;第五段讲了在城市建农场的必要性;最后一段提到澳大利亚采用城市农场的方法还需要相当长的时间,但它为农民提供了一个机会,可以向城市出售他们的专业知识,教人们在城市环境中种植粮食。由以上信息可推知,本文主要讲了农业种植向城市发展。D项“粮食生产正在向城市转移”能够概括文章内容。故选D。
【高频词汇】 1.massive adj.巨大的;非常严重的
2.definitely adv.肯定;确实 3.due to由于 4.loss n.失去,损失 5.adopt v.采用;采取;采纳;领养 6.unique adj.独特的;唯一的;特有的
【熟词生义】 1.house v.容纳,提供地方 2.greens n.绿叶蔬菜
【差距词汇】 hydroponic adj.水栽的
长难句
原句 People think the Martians have landed because we've got this massive pink light that comes out of it from the bottom, but other than that, they have no idea.
分析 本句是一个并列复合句。并列连词but连接前后表示转折意义的两个分句。在第一个分句中,think 后的the Martians have landed是一个省略连接词的宾语从句;连词because引导原因状语从句;light后的 that引导定语从句且在从句中作主语。在第二个分句中,other than that为状语。
译文 人们认为火星人着陆了,因为从垂直农场的底部发出了巨大的粉红色光线,但除此之外,他们一无所知。
Ⅳ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。作为景观设计师的作者向人们建议在自己的院子里种植既可食用又美观的植物。
1.F 过渡句。根据上句“I'm convinced that an edible landscape is the most interesting landscape concept for the future.”可知,作者认为可食用景观有发展前景。结合下文段落主旨句 “Food Safety(食品安全)”“Water Savings.(节约水)”“Money Savings.(节约钱)”以及“Better Nutrition.(更好的营养)”可知,下文提到的都是可食用景观的好处。F项“可食用景观提供了难以置信的好处”引出下文可食用景观的好处,符合逻辑,其中benefits为关键词。故选F。
2.B 主旨句。设空处在段首,根据语篇结构可知,设空处为主旨句。根据下文提到的“你院子里的食物不需要运输,需要很少的冷藏,更少的能源用来耕地、播种、喷洒和收获”可推知,种植在自己院子里的可食用景观更加节能。故B项“节约能源”能够概括本段内容。故选B。
3.E 细节句。根据本段主旨句“Water Savings.”可知,本段内容应是在自己的院子里种植可以节约水。分析选项可知,E项“滴灌甚至会节约更多的水”与节约水有关,符合逻辑。故选E。
4.C 细节句。设空处为前半句,后半句讲到完全成熟的、刚采摘的、家种的水果和蔬菜要比超市里那些通常是在未成熟的时候采摘的、几天或几周后才吃的水果和蔬菜含有更多的维生素。结合选项可推知,C项 “如果采摘后立即食用”能与下文连成一句,整句将家里种植的水果和蔬菜与超市的水果和蔬菜进行比较。故选C。
5.G 细节句。设空处为后半句,由空前的逗号可知,空处选项首字母不可以大写。分析选项可知,仅能从D项和G项中选择,而D项内容与前文“as you get started on your edible landscape”有较大重复,所以排除D项。故选G。
【高频词汇】 1.landscape n.风景,景色 2.therefore adv.因此 3.harvest v.& n. 收获 4.figure n.数字;人物;身材 5.vitamin n.维生素 6.incredible adj.难以置信的 7.check out查看
【差距词汇】 1.plow v.耕(地) 2.spray v.向……喷洒
长难句
原句 If eaten soon after picked, fully ripe, just-picked, homegrown fruits and vegetables have more vitamins than supermarket produce that is usually picked under-ripe and is days or weeks old when you eat it.
分析 这是一个主从复合句。句子主干是fully ripe, just-picked, homegrown fruits and vegetables have more vitamins than supermarket produce;If eaten...是状语从句的省略形式,还原后为If fruits and vegetables are eaten soon after they are picked,作条件状语;that引导定语从句,修饰先行词produce,定语从句的谓语由并列连词and连接;连词when引导时间状语从句。
译文 如果即摘即吃,完全成熟的、刚采摘的、家种的水果和蔬菜要比超市里那些通常是在未成熟的时候采摘的、几天或几周后才吃的水果和蔬菜含有更多的维生素。

One possible version:
I gathered my courage and knocked at his door. The moment he heard me out, his face turned purple. He glared at me like a bull. “You have your whole life to work,” he said, “but your playing days are limited. You can't afford to waste them.” I stood before him with my head down. “How much will you be paid, son ” he demanded. “$12.25 per hour.” “Well,” he shrugged. “Is $12.25 an hour the price of a dream ”
That question reminded me of what my coach used to say. Yes, the dream is priceless. It's stupid to earn pocket money at the expense of my dream. I held my head high and said firmly, “Sorry, Mr. Jarvis. I know what to do next.” My coach smiled with great satisfaction. That summer I dedicated myself to baseball training. And one year later, I obtained a baseball scholarship to the university. I knew I would soon buy my mom a house. Thankfully, I made a right choice. Without Mr. Jarvis, I would never know I could afford a dream.
