层级二 素养能力提升
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Recently，the topic “Chinese people can eat such a sweet melon but can't do without this grandma”has topped the hot search list.The grandma is 94-year-old Wu Mingzhu，called the“queen of melons”，a melon-growing expert and academician.Among Wu Mingzhu's classmates was Yuan Longping，who later became the“father of hybrid rice”．
Wu Mingzhu was born in 1930 into a scholarly family in Wuhan city.After her graduation in 1953,she was assigned to work in Beijing.But Wu had already set her eyes on her long-awaited goal.“What I studied was the science of fruit and vegetables.I wanted to work in the fields not in an office,”said Wu.
In 1955，Wu voluntarily went to work in Shanshan County，Turpan Basin，where working conditions were quite hard.She found that the Hami melon，a rare specialty fruit which was once common in the area，was in danger of becoming extinct if not properly cultivated(种植).Wu spent years visiting over 300 production teams，picking out 44 melon varieties.She overcame a variety of difficulties to produce particularly delicious melons in a scientific way，winning over the local farmers accustomed (习惯的)to folk cultivation methods.Then the promotion area covered most of Xinjiang's main commodity areas，and a group of melon-rich villages appeared.
For more than 60 years，Wu Mingzhu and her team has cultivated more than 30 varieties, brought the sweetness of melons to people，and promoted the melon series with Chinese characteristics and a complete breeding innovation system to the world.When first hearing her nickname of “a pearl in the Turpan Basin”，Wu said，“In Xinjiang，there are thousands of science and technology workers like me.They have worked hard for decades on the frontline of agriculture.I'm just one of the ordinary ones.”
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了“甜瓜女王”吴明珠潜心研究甜瓜60多年，帮助我们实现吃瓜自由的故事。
1．Why does the author mention Yuan Longping in the first paragraph
A．To tell us Wu's partner and social circle.
B．To let us get a further understanding of Wu.
C．To make a comparison between Wu and Yuan.

2．Why did Wu dislike the job in Beijing
A．She preferred to research in the fields.
B．She was attracted by Xinjiang's fruit.
C．She wanted to go back to her hometown.
D．She thought Beijing unsuitable for agriculture.
解析：A 细节理解题。根据第二段中“What I studied was the science of fruit and vegetables. I wanted to work in the fields not in an office”可知，吴明珠不喜欢在北京的工作是因为比起在办公室里工作，她更喜欢在田间做研究。
3.How did Wu persuade the locals to adopt her way of producing melons
A．By expanding the planting area.
B．By sharing expert knowledge with them.
C．By providing enough financial assistance.
D．By developing high-quality melons scientifically.
解析：D 细节理解题。根据第三段中“She overcame a variety of difficulties ... and a group of melon-rich villages appeared.”可知，吴明珠以科学的方式生产出特别美味的瓜，即通过成功研发出优质瓜，说服了当地人放弃了旧的种植方法。
4．Which of the following best describes Wu
A．Promising. B．Devoted.
C．Confident. D．Patient.
解析：B 推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，60多年来吴明珠致力于培育优质瓜种，她全心全意奉献于自己的事业。
B
Using genes from coffee plants from around the world，researchers built a family tree for the world's most popular kind of coffee.Scientists call it Coffea arabica.Coffee lovers know it simply as “arabica”．
The researchers recently published a new study about coffee.They found that the species appeared around 600，000 years ago.The plant was likely the result of natural breeding(繁殖) of two other coffee species and likely developed without the help of humans.
Wild coffee plants likely started in Ethiopia.But they are thought to have been first roasted (炒) and brewed in Yemen starting in the 1400s.In the 1600s，Indian monk Baba Budan is said to have taken seven raw coffee beans back to his homeland from Yemen，laying the beginnings for coffee's worldwide takeover.
Arabica coffee，loved for its smooth and sweet flavour，now makes up 60 to 70 percent of the global coffee market.The rest of the market is made up of robusta，a stronger and more bitter-tasting coffee made from one of arabica's parents，Coffea canephora.
To learn about arabica coffee's past，researchers studied the genetic information and they also studied more than 30 different arabica plants.One of the plants was a sample from the 1700s provided by the Natural History Museum in London.The Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus used that plant to give coffee its scientific name.Researchers from Nestle，a big Swiss food company which owns several coffee brands，helped with the study.
The arabica plant's population changed over thousands of years before humans began growing it.The arabica plants did well during warm，wet periods and suffered through dry ones.These difficult times created what scientists call “population bottlenecks”，when only a small number of genetically similar plants survived.
Today，these genetic similarities mean arabica coffee plants are more likely to be hurt by diseases like coffee leaf rust (锈病)，which causes costly losses every year.The researchers explored the makeup of one arabica variety that is resistant to coffee leaf rust.They are interested in parts of its genetic code that could help protect the plant.
Exploring arabica's past and present could help give information about how to keep coffee plants healthy—ensuring morning cups of coffee into the future.

Longji Rice Terraces
Imagine mountains wrapped in silver water，shining in the spring sun.Summer sees the mountains turn bright green with growing rice. During autumn，these same mountains are gold，and in winter they are covered in sheets of white frost.These are the colours of the Longji Rice Terraces.
These terraces were built by the local Zhuang and Yao people，to whom Guangxi is home.Starting in the Yuan Dynasty，work on the terraces took hundreds of years，until its completion in the early Qing Dynasty.Reaching as far as the eye can see，these terraces cover tall mountains，often from the bottom to the very top.
So why did these people go to so much trouble to turn the entire mountains into terraces Firstly，there are few large，flat areas of land in the region.Building the terraces therefore meant that they could increase the areas in which they could grow rice.Secondly，although the region has plenty of rain，the mountains are steep and the soil is shallow.The flat terraces catch the rainwater and prevent the soil from being washed away.
[词海拾贝]
1．terrace n. 梯田
2．frost n. 霜
3．completion n. 完成；结束
4．region n. 地区，区域
5．steep adj. 陡的；陡峭的

There are various opinions about chemical agriculture and organic agriculture.
It is obvious that chemical agriculture has many disadvantages.Above all，the chemicals staying inside the crops can lead to cancer or other illnesses.Besides，the vegetables grow so fast that they contain little nutrition.
Organic foods are becoming increasingly popular with customers.As people are richer，they attach great importance to health.In addition，organic produce simply uses natural fertilisers，making vegetables and fruit tasty and nutritive.Moreover，the produce grows in clean water and never uses pesticides，which is beneficial to our health.
As the old saying goes，health is the first wealth，so it is wiser to choose organic food.

Who/Whom he will go to Beijing with remains unknown.
他将和谁一起去北京还不知道。
2．主语从句的时态需要根据具体语境来确定，尤其是当when引导主语从句的时候，有时会和when引导的时间状语从句混淆而误用现在时表将来。

五、主语从句作主语时谓语动词的单复数
主语从句作主语相当于名词，和非谓语动词的动词-ing形式或者动词不定式作主语一样看作单数，句子谓语应该使用第三人称单数形式。what引导的主语从句，谓语动词通常用单数，但所指的具体内容是复数意义时，谓语动词可用复数形式。
That you don't like him is none of my business.
你不喜欢他不关我的事。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
My youngest son has a severe form of Autism (自闭症).He only says a few words and is in his own world most of the time.Yet，with medicine，routines，and a lot of love，support，acceptance，and understanding he has been able to live a happy life here.There is one problem，however，that he still has: he is hard on his clothes ripping (抽出) threads out of his trousers and tearing his shirts.This means that I spend a lot of time in stores looking for cheap clothes to replace them.
The other day I was in one of these stores looking for a blue sweatshirt to replace one he had torn up.As I was walking down an aisle (过道) I heard “Come Back Here！” followed by a laughter.A little，three-year-old girl was running down the aisle laughing and making a break from her Mom.She ran right up to me and held open her arms to be picked up.I saw her Mom smile at us so I picked up the little kid and carried her back to her Mom's arms.
Then I turned the corner and saw an elderly lady stretching up to reach a purse on a super high shelf.I asked if I could help and when she said “yes” I got on my tip toes to grab it for her.Finally，I reached the sweatshirts and found one that I knew would make my son laugh with delight when he saw it.
As I walked toward the cashier I saw the older lady paying for her purse with a smile and behind her the little girl jumping up and down with joy，holding her Mom's hand and carrying an old doll her Mom had found for her.As I took my place in line I suddenly felt a sense of peace，joy，and love filling my heart.I realized that me，my son，that Mom，her girl，and that lady were all one family，in one world，filled with kindness and love for us all.

For most of human history，people raised crops and livestock to feed their households rather than to sell them for profit.This began to shift after the Industrial Revolution，which saw the rise of plantation farming.
Industrial farming not only increased the crop-growing areas，but changed the techniques used by farmers.Instead of switching the crops that were grown on a field each year，entire plantations would be devoted to a single crop.This approach and intensive modes of farming led to destruction of local biodiversity and land worsening—within years，and fields would cease to produce crops.
“Farmers still hold the view that land is cheap and limitless，” said Crystal Davis from the World Resources Institute.“Most of them just cut down more trees，when new land is needed.”
“To meet our ecological goals，we need to stop turning natural ecosystems to farmland，” Davis said.“We can achieve this in part by bringing back the land's ecological wholeness and productivity.”
Davis points to the 20×20 initiative (倡议)，which has seen 18 South American and Caribbean countries commit to recovering 50 million hectares of land by 2030.It includes a number of projects aimed at introducing agroforestry (混农林业) practices to cocoa and coffee farms in Colombia and Nicaragua.There farmers are encouraged to grow crops while introducing more trees to their land.

7．What can be inferred about the 20×20 initiative
A．It advocates eco-friendly farming.
B．It involves countries around the world.
C．It encourages farmers to develop more land.

8．Which is the most suitable title for the text
A．How Can We Take up Farming

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Looking for a rewarding volunteering activity Get outdoors and glean (拾落穗)! Picking fresh，healthy produce that is donated to food banks is a win-win activity. __1__
Gleaning is not a new concept.In 18th-century England，there was a law that unharvested crops should be given away to the poor.These days，there is a lot of produce that sits in the fields after harvest. __2__ They will usually plant too much or will leave the produce that looks imperfect.Unfortunately，much of this produce would go unused in the field.
Gleaning offers farm-fresh，healthy food for people concerned about food security.That is where gleaners come in.Gleaning addresses farm waste and food poverty by providing free healthy food straight from farm to table.And today，with a cost of living crisis，there are more hungry people. __3__ In 2017，there were five gleaning groups in the UK，while today there are 25.
Holly，head of the Cornwall Gleaning Group，said that her volunteers send around 300 boxes a week to food banks and community kitchens in her area. __4__ “Any time I go gleaning，I am lifted up.For the volunteers，it's so good for mental health，getting outside and doing something practical that's good for the planet，” Holly said.
__5__ To make this happen，more groups need to be established with farmers and more people need to volunteer their time to help.This form of helping may soon become common.It is rewarding for volunteers who harvest in the fields and it also offers fresh and nutritious food to those who need it the most.
A．They find the work very delightful.
B．Luckily，interest in gleaning is growing.
C．Hopes are that awareness will continue to grow.
D．And it is also gaining popularity across the globe.
E．To assist the hungry people，more crops will be grown.
F．This is due to overproduction on the part of the farmers.
G．From farm to table，gleaning is often a worthless experience.

1．解析：D 前句“到户外去拾落穗！挑选新鲜、健康的农产品捐赠给食品银行是一项双赢的活动。”，空格处应该继续对这项活动进行说明或评论，D选项中的it指的就是空前所说的“Picking fresh，healthy produce”，承接上文，符合语境，故选D。
2．解析：F 前句“如今，收获后的田地里有很多农产品。”，空格处应该解释为什么会这样，空后说“他们通常会种植太多，或者留下看起来不完美的产品。” F选项说明空前所说的情况是因为农民生产过剩，其中“overproduction”和空后的“plant too much”相一致，因此承上启下，符合语境，故选F。
3．解析：B 空后说人们对拾落穗的兴趣在增加，B选项引起下文，符合语境，故选B。
4．解析：A 空后说明参加拾落穗的人觉得这个活动可以让他们很高兴，A选项引起下文，符合语境，故选A。
5．解析：C 空后说“为了实现这一目标，需要与农民建立更多的团体，需要更多的人自愿献出时间来提供帮助。”，C选项引起下文，符合语境，故选C。

层级二 素养能力提升
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
I was 6 years old when my father told me we were leaving the Big Apple Circus (马戏团).Until that point，I had spent most of my life on the circus lot，playing with the other circus kids.The circus，by its nature，is one that has a loose structure.So the early years after my leaving the circus，to sit in a classroom all day felt more like a prison.
But years later，I found areas that interested me.I took the skills I had learned from being onstage and applied them to broadcasting.And so when Boston's news station WBUR offered me a job out of college，I jumped at the chance.Along the way，I found I really enjoyed the work.I became WBUR's news reporter.The flexibility and adaptability I'd learned in the circus as a child helped me do my job naturally and easily in a stressful situation—whether it was a destructive tornado outside Boston，or the Boston Marathon bombings of 2013.
But then a serious infectious disease appeared.Suddenly，for the first time in my adult life，I went for a year without doing any shows.But it became clear to me that performing was what I truly wanted.For me，the circus symbolizes who I am.And stages have always been where I've felt the most free.Some people get nervous before they go onstage，but by assuming (扮演) the character of Jacques Whipper and drawing a stupid moustache on my face，all my social anxiety disappears.
Circus performances go beyond age，socioeconomic status (地位)，and even language.It's the type of performance where you can go anywhere in the world to entertain anyone—help anyone forget their troubles for 5，10，and even 30 minutes.And most importantly，for me，it means coming home.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者离开马戏团后的人生经历，以及作者如何将马戏团的经验应用于广播行业，并成为新闻记者，但马戏团表演还是萦绕在作者心头。

At Nature Fresh Farms in Leamington，Canada，there's something new among the rows of tomatoes，cucumbers，peppers and strawberries.Using thousands of sensors in every greenhouse，artificial-intelligence technology is helping the farm in aspects such as lighting，irrigation and harvest timing，aiming to increase the yields of its crops and reduce its use of power and water.Farmers use drones(无人机) to survey farms and look for information on weeds，pests and disease.
A lot of research into AI and agriculture is done at institutions，but it then needs to be tested in a network of smart farms.One of the farms is Emili's Innovation Farms.“We really show how they work in a commercial setting and in a sense，act as a risk reducer as we try out these technologies and then share with others (including other farmers) how they actually work as a means to make it easier to adopt and fully use those new technologies，” said Ms.Keena，managing director of Emili.
It takes time to find out whether new technology has affected a crop，and this can be a barrier to adoption for farmers.Sometimes it's within a year，or within a few years.Ms.Keena said，“We can't ask them to take big risks on integrating new technologies at scale as part of their operations in things that are unproven.” Innovation Farms addresses a piece of one of the barriers of people needing to be able to see these technologies rolled out in a full-scale and commercial way ahead of being able to adopt them themselves.
Farmers' trust levels are also a barrier.Data are important to AI models，but farmers need to be better inspired to share their data in order to make the technology better.But over time，there's an increase in engagement from farmers.“Farmer engagement is absolutely critical” to developing AI tools for agriculture.“If they've seen it demonstrated essentially in their backyard through a smart farm，well，then we're that much further ahead toward adoption.”
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了人工智能对农业的帮助、目前面临的障碍以及前景。

C．Gaining farmers' recognition.
D．Enlarging the farm scales.
解析：C 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“this can be a barrier to adoption for farmers” 以及第四段“Farmers' trust levels are also a barrier.”可知，要消除这些障碍，关键在于获得农民的认可，只有农民认可了这些新技术，才会愿意去采用它们。故选C。
8．Which can be a suitable title for the text

解析：D 根据上文内容可知，作者一开始很想争夺MVP，所以不传球，自私地选择自己投篮。而在Cole受伤后，作者才意识到Cole在防守方面的重要性。因此，作者提议可以将球传给Brandon，因为对方球队重点防卫作者。由此可推测，作者意识到了这场胜利无关个人荣誉，赢得比赛是团队精神的体现。故选D。
