Ⅳ.阅读理解 (2023·台州八校联盟高二期中)As a young girl growing up in France，Sarah Toumi dreamed of becoming a leader who could make the world a better place.Her passion for helping others was awakened when，from the age of nine，she accompanied her Tunisian father to his birthplace in the east of the country during holidays.There she organized homework clubs and activities for children.Toumi witnessed first­hand the destructive effect of desertification.“Within 10 years rich farmers became worse off，and in 10 years from now they will be poor.I wanted to stop the Sahara Desert in its tracks.” A decrease in average rainfall and an increase in the severity of droughts(干旱) have led to an estimated 75 percent of Tunisia's agricultural lands being threatened by desertification. Toumi recognized that farming practices needed to change.She is confident that small land areas can bring large returns if farmers are able to adapt by planting sustainable crops，using new technologies for water treatment and focusing on natural products and fertilizers(肥料) rather than chemicals. In 2012，Toumi consolidated her dream of fighting the desert.She moved to Tunisia，and set up a programme named Acacias for All to put her sustainable farming philosophy into action.“I want to show young people in rural areas that they can create opportunities where they are.Nobody is better able to understand the impact of desertification and climate change than somebody who is living with no access to water.” By September 2016，more than 130，000 acacia trees had been planted on 20 pilot farms.Toumi estimates that some 3 million acacia trees are needed to protect Tunisia's farmland.She expects to plant 1 million trees by 2018.In the next couple of years，Toumi hopes to extend the programme to Algeria and Morocco. 1．How did Toumi's holiday trips to Tunisia influence her?

C．To persuade the farmers not to use fertilizers. D．To facilitate the protection of their farmland. 4．Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A．Saving Water in Tunisia B．Planting Trees of Native Species C．Holding back the Sahara D．Fighting Poverty in North Africa 【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了主人公Toumi在一次去突尼斯旅游的过程中激发了她要帮助当地人的热情，由此创立了Acacias for All项目，以此来改善当地农田，实践其可持续农业的理念。 1．C　[解析]细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Her passion for helping others was awakened when ...in the east of the country during holidays.”可知，Toumi去突尼斯度假的经历唤醒了她帮助他人的热情。故选C。 2．A　[解析]细节理解题。根据第一段内容可知，平均降雨量的减少和干旱严重程度的增加导致突尼斯大约75%的农业土地受到沙漠化的威胁。由此得出，降雨量少是突尼斯农田沙漠化的主要原因。故选A。 3．D　[解析]推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“她搬到突尼斯，并建立了一个名为Acacias for All的项目，将她的可持续农业理念付诸行动。”以及最后一段中“截至2016年9月，在20个试点农场种植了超过13万棵相思树。Toumi估计，为了保护突尼斯的农田，大约需要300万棵相思树。”可知，她创立Acacias for All项目的目的是保护当地的农田。故选D。 4．C　[解析]标题概括题。通读全文可知，文章讲述的是主人公Toumi在9岁时，在一次陪伴爸爸去突尼斯旅游的过程中激发了她要帮助当地人的热情，由此创立了Acacias for All项目，以此来改善当地农田，坚持与沙漠作斗争，实践其可持续农业的理念。C项“Holding back the Sahara”适合作文章标题。故选C。 Ⅴ.完形填空 (2023·郴州高二期末)Taylor opened her sleepy eyes and looked out the window at the foggy field below.“NO！” she cried，now fully __1__．Buttermilk，the cow，was in Mama's daisy patch(雏菊花地).I must have forgotten to close the gate last night，Taylor thought as she __2__ a sweatshirt over her head.Mama was planning to sell daisy bunches at the fair next week.__3__，Buttermilk was eating the flowers.
