Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(浙江浙北G2联考高二期中)Meet the man who isn't running to the supermarket to stock goods—thanks to his tiny urban garden which has kept him in fruits and vegetables for nine months.This greenthumbed Italian who moved to London six years ago has grown so many vegetables during lockdown that he hasn't been to the grocery store for any in nine months.
29yearold artist Alessandro Vitale has grown chilli(辣椒)on his windowsill for years, so he was delighted when he moved into an apartment with a shared garden last year.He set to work transforming half the 8×5m garden area into a growing place, created a wall for vegetables out of recycled water bottles, and made planters and a greenhouse.
In his first harvest this year, Alessandro managed to produce an impressive 30 different kinds of vegetables, including cabbage, carrots, garlic, fennel, leeks, cauliflower, and broccoli.Alessandro got in an impressive 35kg of tomatoes from just six plants, and he's picked 10kg of 17 different types of chilli.Eager to be environmental, Alessandro's crops are 100% organic: He uses wild nettle(荨麻)from a park for pest control, and the fallen leaves to make fertilizer.
Alessandro said, “When I was a kid I used to help my grandpa out in the garden.I remember he would import chilli seeds from all over the world and he would have tones of plants.”
Though Alessandro works fulltime 45 hours a week, as soon as he's home he spends a couple of hours tending to the garden.“My favorite thing to make with is jam and sauces from the chillies,” he says.He now runs his own YouTube channel SpicyMoustache, sharing urban gardening tips and encouraging others to create urban green spaces.

The 2020 Nobel Prize in literature has been awarded to former U.S.Poet Laureate(桂冠诗人)Louise Gluck.The prize committee stressed “her unmistakable poetic voice that with plain beauty makes individual existence universal”.Gluck is the first American woman to win the award since Toni Morrison in 1993.Gluck, 77, joins a list of literary giants and previous Nobel Prize winners, including, in this century, Canadian shortstory master Alice Munro, Chinese magicalrealist Mo Yan, etC.
Gluck's work includes 12 collections of poetry and a couple of volumes of essays on literary writing.“All are characterized by striving for(力求)clearness.Childhood and family life, the close relationship with families is a theme that has remained central to her,” Anders Olsson, the chairman of the Nobel Committee for Literature, said.“She seeks the universal, and in this she takes inspiration from myths(神话)and classical themes,” Olsson added, citing her 2006 collection Averno, which the committee described as “masterly” for its “visionary interpretation of the myth of Persephone's fall into hell in the captivity(囚禁)of Hades, the god of death”.
Gluck is a professor at Yale and a resident of Cambridge, and she also served as U.S.Poet Laureate from 2003 to 2004 and is no stranger to awards.She won the Pulitzer Prize in 1993 for her collection of poems titled The Wild Iris, in which “she describes the miraculous return of life after winter in the poem Snowdrops”, the Nobel Literature Committee said on Thursday.She also won the 2014 National Book Award for poetry for Faithful and Virtuous Night.In 2016, President Obama awarded the National Humanities Medal to Gluck in a White House ceremony.
Being publicly shy, Gluck did not immediately give any comment about the latest honor for her body of work, which spans more than half a century.In a 2012 interview, she acknowledged that prizes can make “existence in the world easier ” but did not mean the immortality(不朽)of a true artist.

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
If you struggle with reading, then watching TV can certainly seem a lot easier. 1 But what benefits are you missing out on by not reading? And what specifically are the benefits of reading compared to watching television or movies? Here are reasons why you should read more books.
Reading improves your concentration.
Unlike blog posts and news articles, sitting down with a book takes long periods of focus and concentration, which at first is hard to do.Being fully engaged in a book includes closing off the outside world and burying yourself into the text. 2
Readers enjoy the arts and improve the world.
A study done by the NEA explains that people who read for pleasure are many times more likely(than those who don't)to visit museums and attend concerts. 3 And they are almost three times as likely to perform volunteer and charity work.
Reading improves your imagination.
4 The worlds described in books, as well as other people's views and opinions, will help you expand your understanding of what is possible.By reading a written description of an event or a place, your mind is responsible for creating that image in your head, instead of having the image placed in front of you when you watch television.
5
Books offer an outstanding wealth of learning and at a much cheaper price than taking a course.Reading gives you a chance to consume huge amounts of research in a relatively short amount of time.Heavy readers tend to display greater knowledge of how things work and who or what people were, which, in turn, leads to a quick mind.
A.Reading makes you smarter.
B.You are only limited by what you can imagine.
C.Over time, it will strengthen your concentration.
D.Subjects only need to read silently to reduce stress.
E.It certainly requires little effort from us but to relax.
F.Reading is not only fun, but it has all the added benefits.
G.Readers are active participants in the world around them.
[语篇导读] 本文是说明文。文章讲述了应该多读一些书的原因。
1.解析 上文“If you struggle with reading, then watching TV can certainly seem a lot easier.(如果你阅读有困难, 那么看电视似乎会容易得多。)”说明阅读困难, 看电视是容易的, E项中的“requires little effort from us but to relax ”说明除了放松不需要努力, 与上文都是在说明看电视不费力, 从而引出下文“But what benefits are you missing out on by not reading?(但是不阅读你错过了什么好处呢?)”, 因此推断E项“它当然不需要我们的努力, 只需要放松。”符合语境, it指代“watching TV”。故选E。
答案 E
2.解析 根据段落小标题“Reading improves your concentration.”可知, 本段讲述阅读提高集中能力, 与C项中的“concentration”一致, 上文“Being fully engaged in a book includes closing off the outside world and burying yourself into the text.(完全致力于一本书包括关闭外部世界, 埋头在文本中。)”说明读书的方式, 也就是埋头读书, 不受外界干扰, 因此推断经过一段时间, 会强化你的集中能力。故选C。
答案 C
3.解析 上文“A study done by the NEA explains that people who read for pleasure are many times more likely(than those who don't)to visit museums and attend concerts.[NEA的一项研究解释说, 那些为了快乐而阅读的人(比那些不是为了快乐而阅读的人)更有可能去博物馆和参加音乐会。]”说明阅读让人们更愿意参与外边的世界, 下文“And they are almost three times as likely to perform volunteer and charity work.(他们几乎是比普通人有三倍的可能性从事志愿工作和慈善工作。)”也说明阅读的人更可能参与外边的活动, 因此推断空格处也是谈论参与外边的世界, G项中的“active participants in the world around them”相符, 因此推断G项“读者是他们周围世界的积极参与者。”符合语境。故选G。
答案 G
4.解析 根据段落标题“Reading improves your imagination.”可知, 本段讲述阅读提高想象力, B项中的“imagine”相符, B项“你受到你所能想象到的东西的限制。”说明我们受我们的想象力的限制, 下文“The worlds described in books, as well as other people's views and opinions, will help you expand your understanding of what is possible.(书中描述的世界, 以及其他人的看法和观点, 将帮助你扩展你对可能的东西的理解。)”说明了通过读书你可以改善你的想象力。故选B。
答案 B
5.解析 空格处是段落标题。根据下文“Reading gives you a chance to consume huge amounts of research in a relatively short amount of time.Heavy readers tend to display greater knowledge of how things work and who or what people were, which, in turn, leads to a quick mind.(阅读会让你有机会在相对较短的时间内消化大量的研究。沉闷冗长的读物倾向于展示对事物如何工作以及人们是谁或者是什么等更多的了解, 反过来, 这导致人们的思维敏捷。)”可知, 本段讲述阅读让人们思维敏捷, 变得聪明, 故A项“阅读使你更聪明。”为最佳标题。故选A。
答案 A
