Dad’s farm（2018 四川高考）
Nothing could stop Dad. After he was put on disability for a bad back, he bought a small farm in the country, just enough to grow food for the family. He planted vegetables, fruit trees and even kept bees for honey.
And every week he cleaned Old Man McColgin's chicken house in exchange for manure (肥料). The smell really burned the inside of your nose. When we complained about the terrible smell, Dad said the stronger the manure, the healthier the crops, and he was right. For example, just one of his cantaloupes (甜瓜) filled the entire house with its sweet smell, and the taste was even sweeter.
Waste of produce 农产品的浪费 （2018 安徽芜湖一中期中）
Similar to humans, produce (农产品) comes in different shapes and sizes. Yet, chances are that you have probably never met an ugly-looking carrot or an apple at your local stores or farmers’markets. That’s because any fruit or vegetable that looks different from what is considered “normal” will be thrown away.
Experts say that six billion pounds or about twenty percent of all produce grown in the US ends up either in landfills (垃圾填埋地) or as animal feed every year. Now Ben Chesler, Ben Simon and Ron Clark want to change that with their “Imperfect”. The Oakland-based company plans to buy the so-called ugly produce from farmers and sell it through a supermarket chain they recently signed a deal with.
Chesler and Simon believe that once people realize that “ugly” fruit and vegetables taste as good as the “beautiful” produce supermarkets sell, they will accept them. The company, which is working with farmers in California, plans to start selling the produce to people in Oakland and Berkeley. If all goes well, Imperfect will extend (扩大) the service to other California cities and then hopefully, to other states as well.
In addition to preventing waste, Imperfect’s idea will also cause additional income for farmers who are sometimes forced to throw away as much as 50% of their produce just because it doesn’t look “right”. Besides, the produce will cost as 30% to 50% less than those sold in supermarkets.
And if that’s not enough to convince you that “ugly” produce may be worth a try, how about this? It will help the environment, too. That’s because bad produce gives off harmful gas into the atmosphere. What’s more, kids may eat more fruit and vegetables if they look “different” from the boring ones they meet every day.
拓展阅读
American beekeeping operations have been hit hard by what scientists call colony collapse disorder. Almost half of their worker bees have disappeared during the past season. C.C.D. has also been reported in Israel, Europe and South America. Bees fly away from the hive and never return. Sometimes they are found dead; other times they are never found. Many crops and trees depend on pollination (授粉) by bees to help them grow. A new report says a virus may be at least partly responsible for the disorder in honey bee colonies in the United States. This virus is called Israeli acute paralysis virus. It was first identified in Israel in two thousand four. Ian Lipkin at Columbia University in New York and a team reported the new findings in Science magazine. Doctor Lipkin says the virus may not be the only cause. He says it may work with other causes to produce the collapse disorder. The team found the virus in colonies with the help of a map of honey bee genes that was published last year. They examined thirty colonies affected by the disorder. They found evidence of the virus in twenty-five of them, and in one healthy colony. The next step is further testing of healthy hives.The researchers suggested that the United States may have imported the disorder in bees from Australia. They say the bees may carry the virus but not be affected. The idea is that unlike many American bees, the ability of Australian bees to fight disease has not been hurt by the varroa mite (全球性的蜂虱). This insect attacks honey bees, which could make the disorder more likely to affect a hive. Australian bee producers reject these suspicions. And some researchers suspect that bee production in the United States is down mainly because of the weather. Honey bees gather nectar (花蜜) from flowers and trees. The sweet liquid gives them food and material to make honey. But cold weather this spring in the Midwest reduced the flow of nectar in many flowers. Many bees may have starved. Dry conditions in areas of the country could also be playing a part. Wayne Esaias is a NASA space agency scientist who keeps bees in his free time. He lives in central Maryland, where he has found that flowers are blooming a month earlier than they did in nineteen seventy. Wayne Esaias is organizing a group of beekeepers to document nectar flow around the country.写作运用

It may not be crazy．We already have heart transplants(移植)，and artificial(人造的；假的) arms，legs and hands．We have artificial muscles(肌肉) that use air to move．We have computers which we put inside people to help make their bodies work．We can make artificial ears，artificial eyes like small television cameras，and artificial throats，which make voices like the real thing．Mr. White，a professor in a university in the United States says it will not be long before we have head transplants．
“We can do this with the technology(技术) we have now．There is only one big problem—when we cut off the old head，the nerves(神经) which join the rest of the body to the head is also cut and broken．The new head could hear and see，but body could not move．But in the future，scientists will be able to make the head grow its own nerves and join itself to the nerves in the body，like a plant grows into the soil．”
When will all this happen? In a few hundred years perhaps，says Professor White，who also says that his ideas are as crazy as the ideas of the man who said a hundred years ago that it was possible to walk on the moon．
44．The writers in the 19th century thought _______，so they wrote many horror stories．
A．it was fearful to have transplants
B．it was impossible to have transplants
C．some crazy doctors killed a lot of people
D．some crazy doctors injured a lot of people
45．Nowadays，the dream of transplanting some parts of a man’s body _______．
A．has come true B．is being studied by scientists
C．is being found out D．hasn’t been found out yet
46．With computers’ help，_______．
A．scientists have had head transplants successfully
B．scientists can complete heart transplants and many other sophisticated(复杂的) operations．
C．scientists can easily complete head transplants
D．it will not be long before heart transplants can he done
47．It’s difficult to have a head transplant nowadays because _______
A．a new machine haven’t been invented
B．nobody has done such an operation before
C．no doctor would do such a terrible operation
D．the way to connect the new head’s nerves with the old body’s has not been found out yet
D
Most people around the world are“right—handed”．This also seems to be true in history．In 1799，scientists studied works of art made at different times from 1500 B．C．to the 1950s．Most of the people shown in these works are right-handed so the scientists guessed that right-handedness has always been common through history．Today，only about 10% to 15% of the world’s population is left．handed．
Why are there more right-handed people than left-handed ones? Scientists now know that a person’s two hands each have their own jobs．For most people，the left hand is used to find things or hold things．The fight hand is used to work with things．This is because of the different work of the two sides of the brain．The right side of the brain，which makes a person’s hands and eyes work together，controls the left hand．The left side of the brain，which controls the fight hand．is the centre for thinking and doing problems．These findings show that more artists should be left-handed，and studies have found that left—handedness is twice as common among artists as among people in other jobs．No one really knows what makes a person become fight—handed instead of left-handed．Scientists have found that almost 40% of the people become left-handed because their main brain is damaged when they are born．However，this doesn’t happen to everyone，so scientists guess there must be another reason why people become left-handed．
One idea is that people usually get right-handed from their parents．If a person does not receive the gene(基因) for fight-handedness，he/she may become either fight-handed or left-handed according to the chance and the people they work or live with．Though fight-handedness is more common than left-handedness，people no longer think left-handed people are strange or unusual．A long time ago，left-handed children were made to use their fight hands like other children，but today they don’t have to．
48．After studying works of art made at different times in history，the scientists found _______．
A．the art began from 1500 B. C.
B．the works of art ended in the 1950s
C．most people shown in the works of art are fight-handed
D．most people shown in the works of art are left-handed
49．What is the left hand for most people used to do?
A．It’s used to find or hold things．
B．It’s used to work with things．
C．It’s used to make a person’s eyes and hands work together．
D．It’s the centre for thinking and doing problems．
50．According to the passage，which of the following is true?
A．No one really knows what makes a person become fight-handed．
B．Left-handedness is cleverer than fight—handedness．
C．Today children are made to use their fight hands only．
D．Scientists think there is no reason why people become left-handed．
51．The best title for this passage is _______．
A．Scientists’ New Inventions
B．Left-handed People
C．Which Hand
D．Different Brains，Different Hands
E
It’s perfectly normal for young children to suddenly decide they hate everything—even foods they loved yesterday．It’s also common for them to go on what expels call food jags—that is，they want to eat the same few foods over and over again at every meal，while turning up their noses at anything new．“It’s a fear of new things，”says Nancy Hudson，a researcher in University of California，Berkeley．“We think it’s one of those quirks(怪癖) that humans probably developed to protect themselves as mankind came into this world．You don’t try new things because you don’t know if they’re safe．”Children like familiar things．whether they’re their beds or their afternoon tea，so most kids won’t try new foods until they’ve been shown to them many times．
Picky(挑剔的) eating can also be a child’s way of showing his independence．This is why forcing a child to eat often makes things worse．Finally，it may seem like your child cannot sit still long enough to eat very much at one sitting because of his short attention．But children are generally good at getting what they need，even if it doesn’t seem like much to you．In any case．you can try to keep your child at the table longer by making mealtime as calm and regular as possible，without too many distractions(分心的事物) like toys，TV，or pets．
52．How many reasons does the writer mention in this passage to explain why children are mostly picky eaters?
A．Three． B．Two． C．Four． D．One．
53．What does the phrase“turning up their noses” underlined in Paragraph 1 mean?
A．Accepting． B．Disliking． C．Putting their noses on． D．Fearing．
54．Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Only children like things which they are familiar with．
B．Toys are not good、for children．
C．It seems that children like eating more when they have something they like in their hands．
D．Make it a rule to let your child eat at the table when mealtime comes．
55．According to the writer，one of the ways to have children eat new foods is ________．
A．telling them stories while they’re eating
B．not giving them any food until they’re very hungry
C．letting them become familiar with the new foods
D．explaining to them how useful the new foods are

To the Editor：
I have been reading your newspaper，the Hometown Gazette，for the past two years，ever since I moved to Smithville．We moved here from New York City，so I am accustomed to reading excellent newspapers such as The New York Times．In fact，we still have the Times delivered on Sundays．The entire family enjoys reading the recipes in the paper，as well as the Styles section．
The Times is great，but _______．I’ve never read an article that doesn’t contain at least three or four spelling or grammatical errors．For instance，in last week’s issue，you misspelled the word“secretary”，used a singular verb with a plural noun．and used“it’s”as a possessive．And that was just in the lead story! In ease you never went to elementary school．“it’s”means“it is”．It’s not a possessive adjective!
It’s a pity that this tiny little hick(土气的) town has only one newspaper，because I’d like to have an alternative to the rag you publish．I find it hard to believe your news stories．If you can’t spell correctly，how can you get your facts right?

Top Four Reasons Why You Should Start Gardening
For me, gardening is the coolest hobby. I mean really, what other hobby can you devote a little money to that gives you so much in return? 61 All you need is a little dirt, a few packets of seeds and you’re good to go. Here are my top four reasons why I think gardening rocks!
__ 62
I used to spend lots of money on fresh fruits and vegetables before I got into gardening. Now I happily pick up a $1 packet of seeds knowing I can get an entire summer’s worth of a particular type of vegetable from a packet of very tiny seeds.
Perennial Flowers (宿根花卉) Are an Cheap Form of Beautifying Gardens
63 But these days you’ll find me planting perennial flowers like daisies (雏菊) and lavender (薰衣草) each summer because I know that a packet of seeds can go a long way. I really mean it. 64
Gardening Is a Hobby the Children Can Enjoy
Getting kids to try new fruits and vegetables can be a challenge sometimes, but a funny thing happens when kids learn to grow their own food. They become adventurous eaters! 65
Sharing Is Caring
If you grow more fruits and vegetables than you can eat, donate them to a local food bank or a soup kitchen or give extra produce away to friends and neighbors.
So whether you like to grow your own vegetables or grow flowers for your kitchen table, gardening is just plain awesome.
A. When I first started gardening, I only planted fruits and vegetables.
B. Gardening Can Help You Cut Your Grocery Bill.
C. Gardening Is Cheaper Than Your Grocery Bill.
D. Suddenly trying new foods, such as purple beans, is cool and exciting for them.
E. A few packets of seeds and a truckload of dirt can go a long way.
F. There are no membership fees to pay, no special clothes to buy.
G. After all, why would you pay ten dollars for one plant, when you can grow twenty for a two dollar packet of seeds?

答案解析
单项选择
1．B 句意：在过去的10年里，我已经学了3000个单词。在过去的10年里可以说during the past decade，也可以说in the past decade。
2．A 句意：我们的班长把每天早上读英语作为—种习惯。habit为可数名词，意思是“习惯”，而duty的意思是“责任；义务”。
3．B 句意：她比班里其他学生更用功，常常充分利用每一分钟来学习新东西。哪一个短语不能填入这个空中？选项A、C、D都有“充分利用”的意思，符合题意。选项B是要选的答案。
4．C 句意：多亏了好天气，我们能够很容易地爬山。空后是短语，因此排除A、B。thanks to相当于because of，表示原因。
5．B 句意：卧室是厨房的两倍大。A项有较大干扰性，as...as中间要用形容词或副词的原级。
6．D 句意：我的母亲很少在乎我说什么。care for的意思是“关心；照顾”，care about的意思是“在意；在乎”，后可以跟宾语从句。
7．B 句意：我不习惯跟他说话。他太严肃了。used to表达“过去的习惯”，其中to是不定式符号，后跟动词原形；而be used to表达“现在的习惯”，其中to是介词，后跟名词或动词-ing。
8．A 句意：在阅读中如果你对某个单词不明白，你可以查词典。refer to与look up都有“参照；查询”的意思。refer to后跟查询的资料，如书、词典等；look up后跟被查询的事情，如单词、数据等。
9．A 句意：我们的国家蔬菜丰富。be rich in是固定搭配，Our country为单数形式，所以be动词也要用单数形式。
10．B 句意：我们坚决要求他参加会议。insist在这里是“坚决要求”的意思，后跟的宾语从句运用虚拟语气，其结构为“should+动词原形”或直接用动词原形；insist on后跟名词或动词-ing。
11．C 句意：他总是第一个到教室最后一个离开。考查固定句型。the first，the last等后接动词时用不定式的形式，并形成主谓关系。
12．C 句意：——我把窗户打开，让新鲜空气进来好吗?——不。你最好别这么做。本题考查情景交际用语。I’d rather not是I’d rather not open the window的省略句，意思是“我不愿开窗”。I’d rather后不跟you not结构，B项语法不正确。I’d rather后可跟从句，从句中的谓语动词用一般过去时态，所以选项C为正确答案。
13．C 句意：你几乎想象不到琼斯太太在把孩子养大上遇到的困难。have difficulty/fun/trouble/a hard time...(in) doing sth. 是常用句型；Mrs. Jones had是定语从句。
14．B 句意：里德先生想倾其所有为穷人的孩子建一所学校。devote...to + n. / v. -ing形式是固定结构；he had是定语从句。
15．B 句意：据我们所知，他跟他的弟弟是一样勤奋的学生。as...as中间跟的是形容词或副词的原级，如果跟形容词修饰的单数名词，要将形容词放在冠词的前面。

[语篇解读] 这是一篇记叙文。多年前的一个深夜，一位老人和他的妻子在雨中来到费城的一家小旅店住宿，可是旅店已经住满人了。为了不让老人在雨中四处奔波，该旅店的一位服务员将自己的房间腾出来给夫妻俩住。两年后，这位老人聘这位服务员为自己新建的华尔道夫饭店的经理。一个小小的善举使该服务员成了世界豪华酒店的经理。
16．C 联系前文的One stormy night可知，两位老人来这里是为了躲雨。空前的get out of意思是“摆脱”，因此可以排除其他选项。
17．D 联系下文的Could you possibly give us a room here?可知，两位老人需要一个住的地方。shelter本意是“躲避处”，在这里指房间。
18．B 联系后文的finding people who are both friendly and helpful可以得此答案。其他选项均有一定干扰性，后文没有这些选项的依据，因此最佳答案是B。
19．A All of our rooms are taken是服务员给他们的解释。其他选项中，demand要求。suggest建议，insist坚持。
20．C 前后为转折关系。
21．A 显然，服务员问他们是否愿意在自己的房间度过一个晚上。
22．C 其他选项都表达推测，而服务员的房间不是套房，这是肯定的事情，因此可以排除其他选项。
23．D 联系but可知，服务员说虽然他自己的房间不是套房，但是足以让他们度过一个舒适的晚上。
24．B 联系空后服务员说的Don’t worry about me可知，一想到自己住了服务员的房间会影响他的休息，两位老人拒绝了。
25．A 服务员让夫妻两个不要担心自己，因为他自己可以应付一晚上的。make out在这里的意思是“应付(得好)”。其他选项中，make up组成，构成；pick up捡起，学会；bring in引进。
26．C 联系后文可知，两位老人住下了。
27．D 联系空后的the next morning可知，第二天早上两位老人付账后离开。
28．B 联系后文讲到的老人建了宾馆让这个服务员去经营可知，老人要服务员做宾馆的老板。owner的意思是“主人”，只拥有所有权，因此可以排除。
29．A 显然服务员认为老人在跟自己开玩笑，因此他们三个人大笑了一场。C项有一定干扰性，文中没有讲到他们在离开前与服务员一起吃饭。再者这也不符合常理。
30．C 那个服务员几乎忘记这件事了，就在这时他收到了老人的一封信。
31．B 由于是多年后再提起那个暴风雨的晚上，因此是老人回忆的。
32．C 联系空前的a round-trip可知，老人在信中附上了一张去纽约的往返车票。
33．A 显然老人邀请这个服务员到他们那里做客。
34．A 老人指着大楼对他说，……其他选项中，look up to抬头看，walk up to走向，point out指出。
35．B 联系前文的You are the kind of manager who should be(boss) of the best hotel in the United States．可以得出答案。

[语篇解读] 本文讲述了万圣节的历史以及人们在万圣节里所做的事情。它最早兴起于古英格兰的凯尔特人，目的是为了纪念亡掉的魂灵，以后这个节日传到美国。
36．A 细节理解题。从On that day，priests(牧师)0f the Celtic religion(宗教) prayed that the spirits of the dead would return to their homes for a few hours．可推出答案。B、D项均有一定的干扰性，从In the late 19th century。American boys helped the spirits With tricks of their own．以及the Roman Catholic(天主教的) Church made November first a day to honor Christian Saints可以排除这两个答案。
37．D 事实细节题。根据第二段Hundreds of years later，the Roman Catholic(天主教的) Church made November first a day to honor Christian Saints．It was called All Saints Day or All Hallows Day．The day before was called Hallow Eve or Halloween．可得出答案。A项干扰性最大，从The name came from the church．But the traditions were closer to the old Celtic beliefs．可知，尽管凯尔特人最早运用这一形式祭奠亡灵，但运用Halloween这一叫法的是Roman Catholic Church。
38．B 猜测词义题。根据最后一段They dress as frightening creatures or characters from popular movies．They go from house to house asking for candy．可知trick即play a trick；treat意为“款待”。其他答案有一定的干扰性，从They dress as frightening creatures or characters from popular movies．可知，他们具有恶作剧的性质，因此其他答案可排除。
39．D 细节理解题。根据最后一段They send the money to UNICEF to help needy children around the world．可知答案。A项有一定的干扰性，文章中讲到孩子们挨家挨户要糖，但是他们并非要钱买糖，因此A项可排除。
B
[语篇解读]在不久的将来中国以及世界上的很多国家会进入老龄化社会，关爱老人成了社会的第一责任，Adult Day Care就做出了榜样。全文讲述了一家帮助老年人度过晚年的机构the Adult Day Care Centre。
40．C 推理判断题。联系后文可知，这里是老年人护理中心，从But David is becoming forgetful可以得此答案，D项具有一定的干扰性，文中没有讲到因为健康他需要护理。从“He’ll heat up 80me soup，then forget to turn off the gas．”可知，不是因为高龄他才进了护理中心，而是因为他的健忘。
41．D 细节理解题。从Her daughter says that she needs a rest，以及接下来讲到的“她的母亲老是跟着她”得出此答案。C项有一定的干扰性，文中有I need a rest and she does，too．但这并不能说明她的女儿不想让Anne与自己生活在一起，而是想找一个妥善的办法彼此能休息，因此可排除。
42．D 事实细节题。从最后一段的Husbands，wives or grown children can work or have a rest．Most important of all，families are able to stay together．可以得出此答案。A项干扰性最大，从文中可知，在这个中心人们可以做很多事情，但并不是说可以随意做任何事情。
43．B 主旨大意题。全文介绍了为老年人所建的Adult Day Care Centre的情况。D项干扰性最大，这个选项的中心词是families，而本文的中心是介绍Adult Day Care Centre，因此可排除。
C
[语篇解读] 本文是记叙文。全文讲述了科学工作者将人体器官移植这一难题攻克的过程。
44．B 细节理解题。由于那些19世纪的作家认为人体器官移植是不可能的，所以他们才以此为题材，写了很多“恐怖小说”。A项有一定的干扰性。联系全文可知，在19世纪很多作家把器官移植写进恐怖小说是因为那时他们认为器官移植是不可能的，而不是器官移植是恐怖的。
45．A 推理判断题。我们知道，(今天)人体器官移植已经变为现实。B项有一定的干扰性，从第一段We already have heart transplants(移植)，and artificial(人造的；假的) arms，legs and hands．We have artificial muscles(肌肉) that use air to move ...．可知，器官移植已经开始了，而不是还在研究中。
46．D 事实细节题。从Mr. White。a professor in a university in the United States says it will not be long before we have head transplants．可以得此答案。B项干扰性最大，文章讲到现在已经能做心脏移植及许多其他难度极高的手术了，但文章并没有讲这是在计算机的帮助下。
47．D 细节理解题。由There is only one big problem—when we cut off the old head，the nerves(神经) which join the rest of the body to the head is also cut and broken．可知，要把头部的神经和肢体上的神经连接起来不是一件容易的事，这就是现在头颅无法移植的主要原因。B、C项有一定的干扰性。头颅移植手术现在还不能做，是技术问题，而不是因为以前没人做，或者没人肯做。
D
[语篇解读] 我们多数人用右手比左手要多，而有的人则相反，这是为什么呢?科学家对此做了许多研究，但其原因仍是一个谜。
48．C 细节理解题。从Most of the people shown in these works are fight-handed SO the scientists guessed that fight-handedness has always been common through history．可以得此答案。A、B项干扰性最大，从文中In 1799，scientists studied works of art made at different times from 1500 B. C. to the 1950s．可知，科学家们研究了公元前1500年至20世纪50年代的艺术品。这并不是说艺术开始于公元前1500年，结束于20世纪50年代。
49．A 事实细节题。从the left hand is used to find things or hold things可以得此答案。B项有一定的干扰性，从文中The fight hand is used to work with things．可知，处理东西是右手所做。
50．A 事实细节题。从No one really knows what makes a person become fight-handed instead of left-handed．可以得此答案。从Scientists have found that almost 40% of the people become left-handed because their main brain．is damaged when they are born．可以排除D选项，从A long time ago，left-handed children were made to use their fight hands like other children，but today they don’t have to．可以排除C选项，文中没有讲惯用左手的人更聪明，因此可排除B。
51．C 主旨大意题。全文讲述了科学家对fight-handed and left-handed people的研究，因此C项最佳。B项干扰性最大，全文讲述了科学家对right·handed people与left-handed people的研究，而并非只讲left—handed people。因此B项不合适。
E
[语篇解读]人们的饮食习惯是人们寻求安全，不希望尝试新的东西的标志。儿童通过自己所挑选的食物来体现他们的独立。
52．A 总结归纳题。从最后一段我们可以得出，儿童挑食出于三个方面的原因：showing his independence，cannot sit still long enough to eat very much at one sitting because of his short attention，good at getting what they need even if it doesn’t seem like much to you。
53．B 猜测词义题。从they want to eat the same few foods over and over again at every meal可知，每顿饭孩子们喜欢吃同样的少数的食物，而对别的新的东西不接受。D项干扰性最大，从文章可知：他们可以反复吃一种食物，因此不喜欢其他食物，而不是害怕。
54．D 细节理解题。从In any case，you can try to keep your child at the table longer by making mealtime as calm and regular as possible得此答案。A、C项干扰性最大。对于一定食物的喜爱，不局限于儿童；文中也没有讲到对于喜欢的食物儿童吃得很多。
55．C 推理判断题。从so most kids won’t try new foods until they’ve been shown to them many times可知，作者认为：要让孩子们喜欢新的食物，必须让他们多次接触。

62. B。根据标题和下面的粗体部分及此空的上下文可知，此处应该是四个小标题之一。下面段落主要说明的是在新鲜水果和蔬菜的花费的变化，所以选B。
