By some estimates, between 20% and 30% of the global urban population engages in some form of urban agriculture. But until recently, its carbon footprint remains understudied. Using data from 73 low-tech city farms, community gardens and personal plots of land, Newell and his team compared the average carbon emissions of food produced at low-tech urban agriculture sites to those of conventionally grown crops. The team found that because of urban gardens’ relatively low yields, along with the energy used in constructing the planting beds, big-city spuds (马铃薯) were significantly more carbon-intensive than commercially grown ones. This held true even when the researchers factored in emissions from transporting commercially grown produce to often distant grocery stores. That doesn’t mean that growing vegetables in big cities is totally bad, however. “Urban farming is great, ” if imperfect, says Carola Grebitus, a food choice expert. It can be a powerful tool for job creation and education, she says, and a good way to introduce fresh produce to urban “food deserts” where healthy fruits and vegetables are hard to come by. Community gardens can also provide a place to connect with nature, and the added green space can reduce the risks of heat and flooding. Conscious of these benefits, Newell’s team highlighted several ways to make urban agriculture more sustainable. One option is to be selective about what crops are grown. For instance, tomatoes grown in the soil of open-air urban plots had a lower carbon intensity than tomatoes grown in conventional greenhouses. Another strategy is to rely on existing constructions. Include old structures into a new garden’s design instead of taking down old buildings. Finally, take the local climate, water quality and soil into account. Growing plants that are ill-suited to an area requires more water, energy and pesticides (杀虫剂), all of which affect the environment. 1．What can we know about urban agriculture from paragraph 1? A．It is thoroughly researched. B．It is welcomed by city people. C．It is environmentally friendly. D．It is limited to industrial farms. 2．How does the author explain the reason for urban agriculture’s higher carbon intensity? A．By making a comparison. B．By telling a story. C．By giving a definition. D．By using a quote. 3．According to Carola, what is a benefit of urban agriculture? A．It adds variety to urban people’s diet. B．It provides recreational opportunities. C．It strengthens the bonds of community. D．It helps to contain drought and flooding. 4．What is recommended to make urban agriculture more sustainable? A．Reconstructing gardens. B．Developing greenhouse crops. C．Selecting pesticide-free vegetables. D．Growing plants suited to local conditions. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．A 4．D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了城市农业受欢迎，其缺点和优点以及确保城市农业可持续性的策略。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Urban agriculture, the practice of farming within the restrictions of a city, is becoming increasingly popular and is viewed as a sustainable alternative to big industrial farms. By some estimates, between 20% and 30% of the global urban population engages in some form of urban agriculture.(城市农业，即在城市范围内进行耕作的做法，正变得越来越受欢迎，并被视为大型工业化农场的可持续替代品。据估计，全球20%至30%的城市人口从事某种形式的都市农业。)”可知，从第一段我们可以知道城市农业受到城市居民的欢迎。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Using data from 73 low-tech city farms, community gardens and personal plots of land, Newell and his team compared the average carbon emissions of food produced at low-tech urban agriculture sites to those of conventionally grown crops.(利用73个低技术含量的城市农场、社区花园和个人土地的数据，Newell和他的团队比较了低技术含量的城市农业场所生产的食物的平均碳排放量与传统种植的作物的碳排放量。)”可推知，作者通过作比较的方法来解释城市农业碳强度较高的原因。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据文章第二段““Urban farming is great,” if imperfect, says Carola Grebitus, a food choice expert. It can be a powerful tool for job creation and education, she says, and a good way to introduce fresh produce to urban “food deserts” where healthy fruits and vegetables are hard to come by.(食物选择专家卡罗拉·格里比特斯(Carola Grebitus)说，“城市农业很好，”虽然不完美。她说，这可以成为创造就业和教育的有力工具，也是向难以获得健康水果和蔬菜的城市“食物沙漠”引入新鲜农产品的好方法。)”可推知，城市农业的好处之一是它增加了城市居民饮食的多样性。故选A。 4．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Finally, take the local climate, water quality and soil into account. Growing plants that are ill-suited to an area requires more water, energy and pesticides (杀虫剂), all of which affect the environment.(最后，要考虑当地的气候、水质和土壤。种植不适合某一地区的植物需要更多的水、能源和杀虫剂，所有这些都会影响环境)”可知，文章建议种植适合当地条件的植物，这样可以使城市农业更加可持续发展。故选D。 五、（2024届安徽省皖南八校高三三联）七选五 Reading is an exercise for the mind. It is good for our vocabulary and literacy skills, teaching us math or science concepts and helping us learn history. Apart from those, reading has another benefit. Have you read a story and felt tears well up because of a character’s suffering? If so, that is because you have empathy (共情) for the character. 1 Research shows that human brains react differently to stories and facts. 2 In addition, your brain thinks you are in the story, which means you experience the characters’ thoughts as if they were real. 3 This skill, called emotional intelligence (EI), can make it easier to communicate and connect with people. Research shows that building this intelligence can lead to greater tolerance. One study found that people who read the Harry Potter novels, which tell stories about humans fighting against the evil, were less likely to behave unfairly towards powerless groups including refugees (难民). This theory of EI has been put into practice in schools. After reading The Boy at the Back of the Class, a story about a boy who is a refugee escaping from the war, students in St Michael’s High School were inspired to do a 10-mile walk for the non-profit organization — Refugee Action. 4 5 Not only are we more likely to engage in helpful behaviors when we feel empathy for other people, but others are also more likely to help us when they experience empathy. For society to develop, communicative and empathetic individuals really matter. A．In a way, all this increases our ability to read well. B．This permits people to limit their emotions that others are feeling. C．Many more areas of your brain light up when you’re enjoying a story. D．It also stimulated them to raise £1,000 for the homeless caused by war. E．Reading encourages us to empathize with others, which could be beneficial. F．Empathy helps you to read people’s emotions and work out the best way to respond. G．It helps you see into other people’s hearts and can be learned through various stories. 【答案】1．G 2．C 3．F 4．D 5．E 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了研究表明阅读可以帮助培养同理心，这是有益的。 1．上文“Have you read a story and felt tears well up because of a character’s suffering? If so, that is because you have empathy (共情) for the character. (你是否读过一个故事，因为一个人物的痛苦而热泪盈眶？如果是这样，那是因为你对角色有共情。)”提到“共情”，结合诸选项信息可知，G选项“它可以帮助你看到别人的心，可以通过不同的故事来学习。”契合语境，该句就是对上文“empathy”进行说明和解释，“it”指代“empathy”，“stories”呼应上文“story”。故选G。 2．根据本段首句“Research shows that human brains react differently to stories and facts. (研究表明，人类大脑对故事和事实的反应是不同的。)”可知，本段主要谈论人的大脑会根据不同的故事和事实产生不同的反应；C选项“当你在欣赏一个故事时，你的大脑会有更多的区域被激活。”也是谈论当人阅读时大脑的反应，契合语境。故选C。 3．下文“This skill, called emotional intelligence (EI), can make it easier to communicate and connect with people. (这种技能被称为情商，可以让你更容易与人沟通和联系。)”讲述情感智力这项技能能够使沟通和与人建立联系更容易，F选项“同理心可以帮助你读懂别人的情绪并想出最佳方式来回应。”契合语境，下文This skill指代F项中的Empathy。故选F。 4．上文“After reading The Boy at the Back of the Class, a story about a boy who is a refugee escaping from the war, students in St Michael’s High School were inspired to do a 10-mile walk for the non-profit organization — Refugee Action. (在读完《教室后面的男孩》后，圣迈克尔高中的学生们受到启发，为非营利组织‘难民行动’进行了10英里的步行活动。这本书讲述了一个逃离战争的男孩的故事。)”进一步举例说在读了《教室后面的男孩》这本书后，圣迈克尔高中的学生的反应，选项D“这也促使他们为因战争而无家可归的人筹集了1000英镑。”也是在谈论反应：促使他们为因战乱而无家可归之人募集一千英镑，因而契合语境。故选D。 5．由本空所在位置可知，此处为段首句，总括全段信息，下文“Not only are we more likely to engage in helpful behaviors when we feel empathy for other people, but others are also more likely to help us when they experience empathy. For society to develop, communicative and empathetic individuals really matter. (当我们对他人感同身受时，我们不仅更有可能做出有益的行为，而且当他人感同身受时，他们也更有可能帮助我们。为了社会的发展，善于沟通和善解人意的个人真的很重要。)”谈论当我们对他人感同身受时，我们不仅更有可能做出有益的行为，而且当他人感同身受时，他们也更有可能帮助我们，是在讲述共情对人有益。由此可知，选项E“阅读鼓励我们去同情他人，这是有益的。”契合语境。故选E。 六、（2024届河南省名校联盟考前模拟大联考三模）完形填空 Oscar Wilde, a famous poet and playwright, is probably known for his conversation as much as for his literary works.
