课时作业B：能力层面
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2019·山西八校第一次联考)At a farm off Narrow Lane near Lexington, Kentucky, U．S., old-fashioned houses look over the little red barn(畜舍)．The farm is mostly empty now.Jim Mahan and his family, who lived there for generations, have moved to a different plot of land in northern Fayette County.As land is sold, houses go up where there once were fields.
But during the summer, the barn is filled with city kids who have come to enjoy the farm. They're members of the Fayette County Livestock (FCL) Club, which showcases skills as varied as cutting wool. The barn is where they look after the animals. “A lot of Lexington kids don't know anything about farm life，” said Adria Meier, 17, who has looked after goats and sheep for three years.“There is so much to learn.”
The dozen or so children who take care of their goats and sheep at the little red barn must do a six-hour class before they get an animal. They pay for their own animals but get special club programs, such as one that provides vet(兽医) care.
Mahan lets the group use the barn for free, and the kids spend up to three hours a day there during the summer.But as his land gets sold, he doesn't know whether the club can continue. What makes the FCL Club special is that most of the kids can't just walk out their doors and take care of their animals. Most are driven to the barn by their mothers, who usually hang around and chat as their kids feed and exercise the animals.
There are valuable lessons learned along the way. For instance, don't cut wool off your goat when there is wind, and sheep are social animals and will cry loudly when separated. “Tending to animals helps teach us responsibility. Unlike learning to shoot an arrow, caring for an animal isn't something you can simply abandon，” said Carly Playforth, 16, of Lexington.

4．What is the passage mainly about?

(2019·昆明高三摸底调研测试)A new study shows that rising levels of planet-warming gases may reduce important nutrients(营养物) in food crops.
Researchers studied the effects of carbon dioxide on rice.In the experiment, scientists grew 18 kinds of rice in fields in China and Japan. They set carbon dioxide levels to what scientists are predicting for our planet by the end of the century. Rice grown under high carbon dioxide conditions had, on average, 13 to 30 percent lower levels of four B vitamins and 10 percent less protein(蛋白质). The crops also had 8 percent less iron and 5 percent less zinc than rice grown under normal conditions. However, vitamin E levels increased by about 13 percent on average.
The researchers said the effects of planet-warming gases would be most severe for the poorest citizens in some of the least developed countries. These people generally eat the most rice and have the least complex diets. That includes about 600 million people in Indonesia, Cambodia, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Laos and other nations, mainly in Southeast Asia.
Other studies have shown that higher temperatures from climate change and weather extremes will reduce food production. And scientists are finding that rising levels of carbon dioxide and other planet-warming gases threaten food quality.
Earlier studies showed that wheat, rice, field peas and soybeans grown under high carbon dioxide conditions all had lower levels of protein and minerals. Scientists predicted that almost 150 million people might be at risk of having too little protein or zinc in their diet by 2050.
The new study suggests a way to lower the nutritional harm of climate change. That is to grow different forms of rice that can adapt to higher carbon dioxide levels.

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
(2019·重庆市七校联考)It is known to us all that thinking is a good thing. However, some people don't do it enough, while some people overthink everything. If you're an overthinker, it can be exhausting running through all the possibilities of everything. It's not good that the what-ifs run your life and you are trapped. 1
Here are some signs that you are an overthinker, even if you don't feel you are.
2
Why didn't the girl look at me？And why did Peter look away so fast？What does it all mean？When you're an overthinker, you tend to find meaning in the world around you. It's helpful to remind yourself that things mean the meaning you give them.
You think more than you do.
Sometimes you think so much that you don't end up doing anything. You weigh the choices, decide which is the best, and compare it with a new choice. You end up doing nothing. 3
You find it difficult to let things go.
When you've invested a lot of time and energy into something, it can be hard to let it go when it isn't working. 4 The more you think about something, the more it can eat away at you.
You want to get everything right.
You might be a perfectionist. You always do your best. But when you don't get everything right, you seriously blame yourself. By recognizing that this can be a strength as well as a Weakness, you should know that you simply can't get everything right, despite your best efforts.
