1.D 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Kurtz is a commercial solutions manager at Rust Belt Riders, a composting company based in Cleveland, Ohio. Its goal is to meet climate change by recycling as much food waste as possible.”可知,Rust Belt Riders成立的目的是应对气候变化。故选D。
2.D 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The United States Environmental Protection Agency says the average family in the US spends $1,500 per year on food that doesn’t get eaten. Businesses waste food too. That’s where Kurtz’s job comes in.”和第三段“Every day…about the harmful effects of food waste.”可知,Kurtz的工作是让企业意识到食物垃圾的破坏性影响。故选D。

【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了植物在没有眼睛等明显的感觉器官的情况下如何感知光线的精确方向以及如何朝向光,欧洲科学家进行了科学研究以及合理的论证。
5.D 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“In this way, the air channels (通道) create a light variation that helps this plant decide where light is coming from. By taking advantage of air channels to change the direction of light, plants have the ability to ‘see’ with their whole body.”可知,植物可以投射光线,并改变光线路径。通过这种方式,空气通道里产生了一种光的变化,帮助植物判断光从哪里来。由此可推知,植物朝向光是因为它们通过特殊的感官来判断光的方向。故选D。
6.A 词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“But later thinkers such as Aristotle argued that plants were naturally passive, incapable of sensing their environment, much less moving with it.”可知,Aristotle认为植物无法感知环境,所以是不活跃的。结合选项可知,passive的意思与inactive“不活跃的”一致。故选A。
7.C 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Plants, it turns out, have a way of seeing with their whole body. They don’t need anything so clumsy as a pair of eyes to follow the light.”可知,作者认为植物是能够感知环境的,说明它们能够“感觉”到一些东西。故选C。

Robert Kurtz finds himself working right in the middle of a composting (堆肥) revolution. Kurtz is a commercial solutions manager at Rust Belt Riders, a composting company based in Cleveland, Ohio. Its goal is to meet climate change by recycling as much food waste as possible.
Wasted food piles up in landfills. As it breaks down, it creates a gas called methane(甲烷). Methane traps heat in the atmosphere. And that fuels climate change. The United States Environmental Protection Agency says the average family in the US spends $1,500 per year on food that doesn’t get eaten. Businesses waste food too. That’s where Kurtz’s job comes in.
Every day, Kurtz contacts grocery stores, restaurants, and other food-service businesses. He educates them about the harmful effects of food waste. Then he asks if they’re willing to change the way they deal with their remaining food. So far, Rust Belt Riders has persuaded 300 companies and 2,800 households to do something differently with their food waste. The company’s seven trucks and 30 employees pick up their clients’ extra food. Then they compost it, turning it into soil.
Compost soil is much more than just dirt. It’s made up of five ingredients that combine to help plants grow. That’s why Kurtz and his colleagues at Rust Belt Riders offer a second service: they sell the composted, nutrient-rich soil to people and businesses that need it.
In addition to partnering with households and businesses, Rust Belt Riders has teamed up with local schools. At Dentzler Elementary, in nearby Parma, Ohio, Rust Belt Riders helps the kitchen staff compost its food remains. The 500 students place their food waste into bins during lunch periods. The bins are then collected by Rust Belt Riders. Emily Cass is a farm-to-school teacher at Dentzler. “This programme has created a space for all students to become environmental stewards in their own cafeteria when they might not otherwise have the opportunity,” Cass says.
( )1.Why was Rust Belt Riders founded
A.To increase food production.
B.To recycle extra food.
C.To provide jobs in Cleveland.
D.To fight climate change.
( )2.What can we know about Kurtz’s job
A.He only contacts bigger businesses.
B.He teaches how to deal with waste food.
C.He arranges for employees to collect food.
D.He makes businesses aware of food waste’s harm.
( )3.What is Cass’ attitude towards the programme
A.Favourable. B.Indifferent.
C.Doubtful. D.Unclear.
( )4.Which column of the newspaper may the passage come from
A.Literature. B.Fitness.
C.Environment. D.Education.
B [2025·河北保定高一期中]
Since ancient times, plants’ ability to set their eyeless bodies towards the nearest, brightest source of light has interested scholars and caused countless scientific and philosophical (哲学的) debates. Animals use eyes to get a detailed picture of the world around them, including the direction of light. Without obvious physical sensing organs such as eyes, how do plants work out the right direction from which light is coming
Why and how plants set themselves towards light has been the subject of debate for well over 2,000 years. Early Greek philosophers argued that plants, like animals, were capable of sensation and movement, and even desire and intelligence. But later thinkers such as Aristotle argued that plants were naturally passive, incapable of sensing their environment, much less moving with it.
Now a team of European researchers has hit upon an answer. They report that a roadside wild plant—Arabidopsis, a favourite of plant geneticists—uses the air spaces between its cells (细胞) to cast light, changing the path of light passing through it. In this way, the air channels (通道) create a light variation that helps this plant decide where light is coming from. By taking advantage of air channels to change the direction of light, plants have the ability to “see” with their whole body. Further understanding these structures—how they’re built, what is behind them—is interesting for plant biologists beyond the question of how plants sense light direction.
It could also help drive away Aristotle’s words, which still exist in people’s understanding of plants. Many people have the feeling that plants are very passive—they can’t expect anything; they just do what happens to them. But that idea is based on our expectations of what eyes should look like. Plants, it turns out, have a way of seeing with their whole body. They don’t need anything so clumsy as a pair of eyes to follow the light.
( )5.Why do plants have the ability to set themselves towards light
A.Because they lack clear organs.
B.Because they’re able to get a detailed picture.
C.Because they can use eyes to position.
D.Because they have their unique senses.
( )6.What does the underlined word “passive” mean in Paragraph 2
A.Inactive. B.Sensitive.
C.Attractive. D.Impressive.
( )7.What can we learn from the passage
A.Plants are very clever.
B.Plants can’t see anything.
C.Plants could feel something.
D.Plants don’t follow the light.
( )8.What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text
A.To prove Aristotle was wrong.
B.To introduce a roadside wild plant.
C.To share an interesting finding.
D.To explain how plants sense light.(共61张PPT)

Robert Kurtz finds himself working right in the middle of a
composting (堆肥) revolution. Kurtz is a commercial solutions
manager at Rust Belt Riders, a composting company based in
Cleveland, Ohio. Its goal is to meet climate change by recycling
as much food waste as possible.

Wasted food piles up in landfills. As it breaks down, it
creates a gas called methane(甲烷). Methane traps heat in the
atmosphere. And that fuels climate change. The United States
Environmental Protection Agency says the average family in the
US spends $1,500 per year on food that doesn't get eaten.
Businesses waste food too. That's where Kurtz's job comes in.
Every day, Kurtz contacts grocery stores, restaurants, and
other food-service businesses. He educates them about the
harmful effects of food waste. Then he asks if they're willing to

change the way they deal with their remaining food. So far,
Rust Belt Riders has persuaded 300 companies and 2,800
households to do something differently with their food waste.
The company's seven trucks and 30 employees pick up their
clients' extra food. Then they compost it, turning it into soil.
Compost soil is much more than just dirt. It's made up of
five ingredients that combine to help plants grow. That's why
Kurtz and his colleagues at Rust Belt Riders offer a second
service: they sell the composted, nutrient-rich soil to people and
businesses that need it.

In addition to partnering with households and businesses,
Rust Belt Riders has teamed up with local schools. At Dentzler
Elementary, in nearby Parma, Ohio, Rust Belt Riders helps the
kitchen staff compost its food remains. The 500 students place
their food waste into bins during lunch periods. The bins are
then collected by Rust Belt Riders. Emily Cass is a farm-to-
school teacher at Dentzler. “This programme has created a
space for all students to become environmental stewards in their
own cafeteria when they might not otherwise have the
opportunity,” Cass says.

B［2025·河北保定高一期中］
Since ancient times, plants' ability to set their eyeless bodies
towards the nearest, brightest source of light has interested
scholars and caused countless scientific and philosophical
(哲学的) debates. Animals use eyes to get a detailed picture of
the world around them, including the direction of light. Without
obvious physical sensing organs such as eyes, how do plants
work out the right direction from which light is coming

Why and how plants set themselves towards light has been
the subject of debate for well over 2,000 years. Early Greek
philosophers argued that plants, like animals, were capable of
sensation and movement, and even desire and intelligence. But
later thinkers such as Aristotle argued that plants were naturally
passive, incapable of sensing their environment, much less
moving with it.
Now a team of European researchers has hit upon an
answer. They report that a roadside wild plant—Arabidopsis, a
1

favourite of plant geneticists—uses the air spaces between its
cells (细胞) to cast light, changing the path of light passing
through it. In this way, the air channels (通道) create a light
variation that helps this plant decide where light is coming from.
By taking advantage of air channels to change the direction of
light, plants have the ability to “see” with their whole body.
Further understanding these structures—how they're built, what
is behind them—is interesting for plant biologists beyond the
question of how plants sense light direction.

It could also help drive away Aristotle's words, which still
exist in people's understanding of plants. Many people have the
feeling that plants are very passive—they can't expect anything;
they just do what happens to them. But that idea is based on
our expectations of what eyes should look like. Plants, it turns
out, have a way of seeing with their whole body. They don't
need anything so clumsy as a pair of eyes to follow the light.

[解析] 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“In this way, the air channels
(通道) create a light variation that helps this plant decide where
light is coming from. By taking advantage of air channels to
change the direction of light, plants have the ability to ‘see’
with their whole body.”可知，植物可以投射光线，并改变光线路径。
通过这种方式，空气通道里产生了一种光的变化，帮助植物判断光
从哪里来。由此可推知，植物朝向光是因为它们通过特殊的感官来
判断光的方向。故选D。
