Dr Rajaram won this award for successfully crossbreeding (杂交) the winter and spring wheat (小麦) varieties, which have been two distinct and isolated gene pools (分离的基因库) since the beginning of farming. And because of this breakthrough, the scientist has been able to breed over 480 wheat varieties. Born in Varanasi in 1943, Dr Rajaram lived with his family off a plot of land growing wheat, rice and maize. “After my education here in India, I went off to Australia for my PhD and soon I joined CIMMYT (the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Centre) in Mexico, where my career as a plant breeder started,” said Dr Rajaram. “Every country is unique — there are climate systems, culture, the financial situation and each of the nations I visited needed a different set of solutions,” said Dr Rajaram. His solutions became part of what is widely described as the world’s first “wheat network”, a global exchange of “genetic information and innovations among researchers”. His varieties of wheat were strong in nutrition, delayed (延迟) the attack of some plant diseases and were able to survive the severest of conditions. After nearly half a century in the field, Dr Rajaram said his work was still not finished. “In science, you never stop learning. I have been doing this all my life and I’ve never really had time for anything else. As far as hobbies go, well, there’s a bit of music I like to listen to and that’s pretty much it. I have been on a long journey of pushing the boundaries (边界) of what’s possible and today, there’s still work left. Learning must never stop and the world must not go hungry.” 4. Why was Dr Rajaram awarded the World Food Prize? A. He improved several wheat varieties genetically. B. He crossbred the winter and spring wheat varieties. C. He successfully bred two wheat varieties. D. He found the difference between the winter and spring wheat varieties. 5. When did Dr Rajaram start to work on plant breeding? A. During his college years in India. B. While doing his PhD in Australia. C. After becoming a member of CIMMYT in Mexico. D. While living with his family near wheat-growing land. 6. What is one advantage of the wheat varieties developed by Dr Rajaram? A. They can be planted in any season. B. They are free from the attack of some pant diseases. C. They can grow well in terrible environments. D. They can grow taller than traditional ones. 7. What can we learn about Dr Rajaram from the last paragraph? A. He was too busy with work to develop any hobby. B. He wasn’t satisfied with the results of his research. C. He planned to do research in a new field of science. D. He made his mind to work on world food problems. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了小麦育种专家Sanjaya Rajaram成功培育出冬春杂交小麦品种，获得世界粮食奖。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“It was in a brightly-lit room in Mexico City, Mexico, that on June 18, 2014 it was announced that India-born Dr Sanjaya Rajaram had been named the winner of the World Food Prize.(2014年6月18日，在墨西哥墨西哥城一个灯火通明的房间里，印度出生的Sanjaya Rajaram博士被宣布为世界粮食奖获得者)”以及第二段“Dr Rajaram won this award for successfully crossbreeding (杂交) the winter and spring wheat (小麦) varieties,(Rajaram博士因成功杂交冬小麦和春小麦品种而获得该奖项)”可知，Sanjaya Rajaram博士被授予世界粮食奖，是因为他杂交了冬小麦和春小麦品种。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“After my education here in India, I went off to Australia for my PhD and soon I joined CIMMYT (the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Centre) in Mexico, where my career as a plant breeder started,(在印度接受教育后，我去了澳大利亚攻读博士学位，很快我加入了墨西哥的CIMMYT（国际玉米小麦改良中心），在那里我开始了我的植物育种者职业生涯)”可知，Rajaram博士加入国际玉米小麦改良中心后，开始从事植物育种工作。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“His varieties of wheat were strong in nutrition, delayed (延迟) the attack of some plant diseases and were able to survive the severest of conditions.(他的小麦品种营养丰富，延迟了一些植物病害的侵袭，能够在最恶劣的条件下存活下来)”可知，Rajaram博士培育的小麦品种能在恶劣的环境中生长。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“After nearly half a century in the field, Dr Rajaram said his work was still not finished. “In science, you never stop learning. I have been doing this all my life and I’ve never really had time for anything else. As far as hobbies go, well, there’s a bit of music I like to listen to and that’s pretty much it. I have been on a long journey of pushing the boundaries (边界) of what’s possible and today, there’s still work left. Learning must never stop and the world must not go hungry.”(在该领域工作了近半个世纪后，Rajaram博士说他的工作还没有完成。‘在科学领域，你永远不会停止学习。我一辈子都在做这件事，我从来没有真正有时间做其他事情。就爱好而言，好吧，有一点我喜欢听的音乐，几乎就是这样。我一直在努力突破可能的极限，今天还有工作要做。学习永远不能停止，世界也不能挨饿。’)”可知，Rajaram博士已经在粮食领域工作了数十年，他认为自己还有很多工作要做，需要不断学习，让世界人民不再饥饿。因此可推断，他决定致力于解决世界粮食问题。故选D。 C The connection between people and plants has long been the subject of scientific research. Recent studies have found positive effects. A study conducted in Youngstown，Ohio，for example, discovered that greener areas of the city experienced less crime. In another，employees were shown to be 15% more productive when their workplaces were decorated with houseplants. The engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT)have taken it a step further changing the actual composition of plants in order to get them to perform diverse，even unusual functions. These include plants that have sensors printed onto their leaves to show when they’re short of water and a plant that can detect harmful chemicals in groundwater. ＂We’re thinking about how we can engineer plants to replace functions of the things that we use every day,＂explained Michael Strano, a professor of chemical engineering at MIT. One of his latest projects has been to make plants glow(发光)in experiments using some common vegetables. Strano’s team found that they could create a faint light for three-and-a-half hours. The light，about one-thousandth of the amount needed to read by，is just a start. The technology, Strano said, could one day be used to light the rooms or even to turn trees into self-powered street lamps. In the future，the team hopes to develop a version of the technology that can be sprayed onto plant leaves in a one-off treatment that would last the plant’s lifetime. The engineers are also trying to develop an on and off＂switch＂where the glow would fade when exposed to daylight. Lighting accounts for about 7% of the total electricity consumed in the US. Since lighting is often far removed from the power source(电源)-such as the distance from a power plant to street lamps on a remote highway-a lot of energy is lost during transmission(传输).Glowing plants could reduce this distance and therefore help save energy. 8. What is the first paragraph mainly about? A. A new study of different plants. B. A big fall in crime rates. C. Employees from various workplaces. D. Benefits from green plants. 9. What is the function of the sensors printed on plant leaves by MIT engineer? A. To detect plants’ lack of water B To change compositions of plants C. To make the life of plants longer. D. To test chemicals in plants. 10. What can we expect of the glowing plants in the future? A. They will speed up energy production. B. They may transmit electricity to the home. C. They might help reduce energy consumption. D. They could take the place of power plants. 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Can we grow more glowing plants? B How do we live with glowing plants? C. Could glowing plants replace lamps? D. How are glowing plants made pollution-free? 【答案】8 D 9. A 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了绿色植物对人们很有好处，因此麻省理工学院的工程师开发了一种发光植物。文章介绍了他们发明这种植物的过程，以及这种植物的一些优势，指出在未来发光植物有可能取代路灯，达到节约能源的作用。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中A study conducted in Youngstown, Ohio, for example ,discovered that greener areas of the city experienced less crime. In another, employees were shown to be 15% more productive when their workplaces were decorated with houseplants.可知例如，在俄亥俄州扬斯敦进行的一项研究发现，城市绿化较好的地区犯罪率较低。在另一项研究中，当员工的工作场所被室内植物装饰时，他们的工作效率会提高15%。由此可知，第一段的主旨是关于绿色植物的益处。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中These include plants that have sensors printed on their leaves to show when they're short of water and a plant that can detect harmful chemicals in groundwater.可知这就包括叶子上印有传感器来显示植物缺水的情况的植物，还有一种植物可以检测到地下水中的有害化学物质。由此可知，麻省理工学院工程师植物叶片上印上传感器的作用是检测植物缺水的情况。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中Glowing plants could reduce this distance and therefore help save energy.可知发光的植物可以缩短这段距离，从而帮助节约能源。由此可知，这种发光的植物在未来可能有助于减少能源消耗。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中Lighting accounts for about 7%of the total electricity consumed in the US. Since lighting is often far removed from the power source-such as the distance from a power plant to street lamps on a remote highway-a lot of energy is lost during transmission. Glowing plants could reduce this distance and therefore help save energy.可知照明约占美国总耗电量的7%。由于照明通常远离电源，例如从发电厂到偏僻公路上路灯的距离，在传输过程中会损失大量能源。发光的植物可以缩短这段距离，从而帮助节约能源。结合文章主要说明了绿色植物对人们很有好处，因此麻省理工学院的工程师开发了一种发光植物，文章介绍了他们发明这种植物的过程，以及这种植物的一些优势，指出在未来发光植物有可能取代路灯，达到节约能源的作用。由此可知，C选项“发光的植物能取代路灯吗？”最符合文章标题。故选C。 D Imagine you’re at the supermarket checkout. You pay the cashier, load your food into the cart, then take one third of your newly purchased items outside and throw them into the trash. This may sound unbelievable, but millions of us worldwide do this regularly, although in a more non-direct way. In the West, most of this food is thrown away by businesses that are unable to sell it, or by consumers who buy too much. And the majority of this food, despite being past its shelf life, is still perfectly fit for human consumption. So where do these excess products end up? “We receive food from various sources, including food banks, restaurants, cafes, food photographers, and events” says Adam Smith, founder of The Real Junk Food Project. The British company recently made headlines in the UK after it became the country’s first “food waste supermarket”, offering products that would otherwise have ended up in waste. Most of its customers are low-income families, or even college students who find it difficult to afford food.“We ask our customers to pay what they feel in time, money or skills. We do have people coming with the intention of paying and if it carries on like it does, it will pay for the cost of the warehouse,” Smith explains. Some shops across Europe are also taking action. France recently passed a law that says all supermarkets must now donate all of their unsold produce to charities, while the Italian government has also put similar measures in place. Hundreds of cafes that serve meals made from surplus food have been set up across the continent too, selling dishes at bottom prices or even giving them away for free. So what can we do to prevent our dinner ending up in the bin? “Buy less. Or at least shop smarter,” said Smith. After all, the best place for food is in our stomachs, not the trash. 12. What’s the meaning of the underlined “being past its shelf life” in Paragraph 2? A Being past its “sell-by” date. B. Being far from enough. C. Being past the length of being eatable. D. Being out of date. 13. What do we know about The Real Junk Food Project? A. It gets food from the waste. B. It wants to make a fat profit. C. It drew massive attention lately. D. Its main aim is to do charities. 14. What can we learn from Paragraph 4? A. Some countries in Europe are actively helping poor people. B. Some countries in Europe are trying to address food waste. C. Related shops in Europe are willing to give away their food. D. All the countries in Europe have made laws to handle food waste. 15. What is the best title of the passage? A. Turning Trash into Treats B. Buying Less and Smarter C. Food Trash Industry D. Warn against Food Waste 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述全世界现在存在一种浪费现象：超市里有近三分之一的东西沦为垃圾，而实际上这些商品还是可以使用的。针对这种情况，欧美一些国家正在采取行动。 【12题详解】 词义猜测题。由划分部分所在句子“And the majority of this food, despite being past its shelf life, is still perfectly fit for human consumption.”可知，大部分这些食物仍然是非常适合人们消费的，尽管它们超过了它们的货架寿命。由此可见，这些食物只是超过了在货架上销售的时间，需要下架，但是它们仍然可以食用，“being past its shelf life”表示的是超过了最佳售卖的日期。结合选项可知，选项A正确。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。由第三段的第二句“The British company recently made headlines in the UK after it became the country’s first “food waste supermarket”, offering products that would otherwise have ended up in waste.”可知，在它成为英国第一个提供可能会变成废物的产品的“食物废品超市”之后，这个英国公司最近在英国成为头条。由此可见，这个英国公司的 真的垃圾食物项目吸引了人们的注意力，成为了头条。结合选项可知，选项C正确。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。由第四段的第二句“France recently passed a law that says all supermarkets must now donate all of their unsold produce to charities, while the Italian government has also put similar measures in place.”可知，法国最近通过了一部法律，规定所有的超市现在必须将所有它们不售卖的食物捐赠给慈善机构，同时，意大利政府也适当地实施了相似的措施。由此可见， 欧洲的一些国家正在努力解决食物浪费问题。结合选项可知，选项B正确。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。由全文内容可知，第二段的第一句“In the West, most of this food is thrown away by businesses that are unable to sell it, or by consumers who buy too much.”表示的是在西方，大部分这种食物被不能再销售它的企业丢弃或者被购买太多的消费者丢弃。第三段的第二句“The British company recently made headlines in the UK after it became the country’s first “food waste supermarket”, offering products that would otherwise have ended up in waste.”表达的是在它成为英国第一个提供可能会变成废物的产品的“食物废品超市”之后，这个英国公司最近在英国成为头条。第四段的第一句“Some shops across Europe are also taking action.”表示的是全欧洲的一些商店也正在采取行动。最后一段的最后一句“After all, the best place for food is in our stomachs, not the trash.”表示的是毕竟，食物最佳的地方是在我们的胃里而不是垃圾。由此可见，整篇文章主要是针对被丢弃的食物的问题，介绍了几种将废物转变为好物的方法。结合选项可知，选项A正确。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Learning to Love Locally-Grown Foods Cooking shows on TV are usually all about foreign foods. Thanks to globalization, people everywhere are introducing their taste buds to dishes from every corner of the world. ___16___ In the past few years, the number of people purchasing local foods has been rising because it offers a lot of benefits. For starters, local food is often tastier because it is fresher. Imported goods must be flown or shipped in from far away, so they naturally lose some of their freshness during the journey. ___17___ These materials may cause the nutritional value of these goods to decline during the shipping process.

Feeling sad for the bird, Albert petted it gently and wanted to help it, but he didn’t know how since he was just 7 years old. So he took the bird in his hands, carried it carefully home and showed it to his parents. At once, his parents took action. They washed the bird and found it injured. With the help of his parents, Albert dressed the wound. But it would need time and care for the bird to completely recover. As the bird had become dear to his heart, Albert immediately offered to care for the bird. Albert named his new friend “Lucky”. He began to feed the bird and he even ran out to collect grass to build a soft nest for the bird. Then, he put the nest beside his bed. Albert and the bird were sleeping together and living together. Soon they became close friends. Albert always told it about his experiences in school and his secrets. Lucky, an extremely patient audience, usually responded to him with a few nods and chirps (叽叽喳喳声). Albert’s parents also loved Lucky. They regarded it as a family member. In the course of time, Lucky gradually recovered and started to hop (脚跳) and jump a little bit and exercise its wings. That made everyone happier. Soon it would be able to fly. How wonderful! But what then? Albert became thoughtful and started to think. “If Lucky started to fly, it could simply fly away one day.” But that would not happen. Albert loved his friend so much that he couldn’t imagine parting with it. He wondered, “I should surely stay with Lucky forever. But how? Keep the windows closed all the time? That was not practical.” 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Then, he bought a small cage and kept Lucky in it. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Knowing the bad situation, Albert’s parents decided to help Lucky and their son. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Then, he bought a small cage and kept Lucky in it. In the beginning, Lucky seemed fine inside it. He believed he had made the right choice to keep Lucky close and secure. However, as time passed, things took a turn for the worse. After a fully recovery, Lucky wanted to spread its wings and fly in the sky. When all its attempts failed, what Lucky could do was sitting inside the little cage and squawking sadly. Several days later, Lucky refused to eat and drink. Worried and confused, he didn’t know what to do about it. Knowing the bad situation, Albert’s parents decided to help Lucky and their son. They told their son, “If you really love Lucky, you should think of how to make it happy.” After careful consideration, Albert opened both his heart and the cage. Lucky was released and flew away. Two weeks later, a wonderful thing happened: Lucky returned, flying around Albert and chirped happily, seeming to say thanks to him. This had happened from time to time since then. Instead of losing a forced friend, Albert had made a permanent one. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。讲述了一个小男孩偶遇受伤的小鸟并把它带回家悉心照顾，在小鸟痊愈之后，小男孩不想失去他的这位好朋友，便把小鸟关在了笼子里，失去了自由的小鸟变越来越伤心，最终在父母的开导下，小男孩给予了小鸟自由。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然后，他买了一个小笼子，把Lucky关在里面。”可知，第一段可描小鸟在笼子里的状况和小男孩的不知所措。 ②由第二段首句内容“知道了这个糟糕的情况，男孩的父母决定帮助Lucky和他们的儿子”可知，第二段可描写在父母的开导下，男孩给予小鸟自由，小鸟时常飞回来，他们成了永久的朋友。 2.续写线索：做出决定——把小鸟关进笼子——小鸟伤心——小男孩不知所措——父母决定帮忙——给予小鸟自由——小鸟回来，小男孩高兴 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①展翅：spread its wings / stretch its wings / extend its wings ②.拒绝：refuse / reject ③.返回：return / go back / get back 情绪类 ①.伤心地：sadly / sorrowfully ②.感谢：thanks / appreciation / gratitude 【点睛】[高分句型1].

B It was in a brightly-lit room in Mexico City, Mexico, that on June 18, 2014 it was announced that India-born Dr Sanjaya Rajaram had been named the winner of the World Food Prize. Dr Rajaram won this award for successfully crossbreeding (杂交) the winter and spring wheat (小麦) varieties, which have been two distinct and isolated gene pools (分离的基因库) since the beginning of farming. And because of this breakthrough, the scientist has been able to breed over 480 wheat varieties. Born in Varanasi in 1943, Dr Rajaram lived with his family off a plot of land growing wheat, rice and maize. “After my education here in India, I went off to Australia for my PhD and soon I joined CIMMYT (the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Centre) in Mexico, where my career as a plant breeder started,” said Dr Rajaram. “Every country is unique — there are climate systems, culture, the financial situation and each of the nations I visited needed a different set of solutions,” said Dr Rajaram. His solutions became part of what is widely described as the world’s first “wheat network”, a global exchange of “genetic information and innovations among researchers”. His varieties of wheat were strong in nutrition, delayed (延迟) the attack of some plant diseases and were able to survive the severest of conditions. After nearly half a century in the field, Dr Rajaram said his work was still not finished. “In science, you never stop learning. I have been doing this all my life and I’ve never really had time for anything else. As far as hobbies go, well, there’s a bit of music I like to listen to and that’s pretty much it. I have been on a long journey of pushing the boundaries (边界) of what’s possible and today, there’s still work left. Learning must never stop and the world must not go hungry.” 4. Why was Dr Rajaram awarded the World Food Prize? A. He improved several wheat varieties genetically. B. He crossbred the winter and spring wheat varieties. C. He successfully bred two wheat varieties. D. He found the difference between the winter and spring wheat varieties. 5. When did Dr Rajaram start to work on plant breeding? A. During his college years in India. B. While doing his PhD in Australia. C. After becoming a member of CIMMYT in Mexico. D. While living with his family near wheat-growing land. 6. What is one advantage of the wheat varieties developed by Dr Rajaram? A. They can be planted in any season. B. They are free from the attack of some pant diseases. C. They can grow well in terrible environments. D. They can grow taller than traditional ones. 7. What can we learn about Dr Rajaram from the last paragraph? A. He was too busy with work to develop any hobby. B. He wasn’t satisfied with the results of his research. C. He planned to do research in a new field of science. D. He made his mind to work on world food problems. C The connection between people and plants has long been the subject of scientific research. Recent studies have found positive effects. A study conducted in Youngstown，Ohio，for example, discovered that greener areas of the city experienced less crime. In another，employees were shown to be 15% more productive when their workplaces were decorated with houseplants. The engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT)have taken it a step further changing the actual composition of plants in order to get them to perform diverse，even unusual functions. These include plants that have sensors printed onto their leaves to show when they’re short of water and a plant that can detect harmful chemicals in groundwater. ＂We’re thinking about how we can engineer plants to replace functions of the things that we use every day,＂explained Michael Strano, a professor of chemical engineering at MIT. One of his latest projects has been to make plants glow(发光)in experiments using some common vegetables. Strano’s team found that they could create a faint light for three-and-a-half hours. The light，about one-thousandth of the amount needed to read by，is just a start. The technology, Strano said, could one day be used to light the rooms or even to turn trees into self-powered street lamps. In the future，the team hopes to develop a version of the technology that can be sprayed onto plant leaves in a one-off treatment that would last the plant’s lifetime. The engineers are also trying to develop an on and off＂switch＂where the glow would fade when exposed to daylight. Lighting accounts for about 7% of the total electricity consumed in the US Since lighting is often far removed from the power source(电源)-such as the distance from a power plant to street lamps on a remote highway-a lot of energy is lost during transmission(传输).Glowing plants could reduce this distance and therefore help save energy. 8. What is the first paragraph mainly about? A. A new study of different plants. B. A big fall in crime rates. C. Employees from various workplaces. D. Benefits from green plants. 9. What is the function of the sensors printed on plant leaves by MIT engineer? A. To detect plants’ lack of water B. To change compositions of plants C. To make the life of plants longer. D. To test chemicals in plants. 10 What can we expect of the glowing plants in the future? A. They will speed up energy production. B. They may transmit electricity to the home. C. They might help reduce energy consumption. D. They could take the place of power plants. 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Can we grow more glowing plants? B. How do we live with glowing plants? C. Could glowing plants replace lamps? D. How are glowing plants made pollution-free? D Imagine you’re at the supermarket checkout. You pay the cashier, load your food into the cart, then take one third of your newly purchased items outside and throw them into the trash. This may sound unbelievable, but millions of us worldwide do this regularly, although in a more non-direct way. In the West, most of this food is thrown away by businesses that are unable to sell it, or by consumers who buy too much. And the majority of this food, despite being past its shelf life, is still perfectly fit for human consumption. So where do these excess products end up? “We receive food from various sources, including food banks, restaurants, cafes, food photographers, and events” says Adam Smith, founder of The Real Junk Food Project. The British company recently made headlines in the UK after it became the country’s first “food waste supermarket”, offering products that would otherwise have ended up in waste. Most of its customers are low-income families, or even college students who find it difficult to afford food.“We ask our customers to pay what they feel in time, money or skills. We do have people coming with the intention of paying and if it carries on like it does, it will pay for the cost of the warehouse,” Smith explains. Some shops across Europe are also taking action. France recently passed a law that says all supermarkets must now donate all of their unsold produce to charities, while the Italian government has also put similar measures in place. Hundreds of cafes that serve meals made from surplus food have been set up across the continent too, selling dishes at bottom prices or even giving them away for free. So what can we do to prevent our dinner ending up in the bin? “Buy less. Or at least shop smarter,” said Smith. After all, the best place for food is in our stomachs, not the trash. 12. What’s the meaning of the underlined “being past its shelf life” in Paragraph 2? A. Being past its “sell-by” date. B. Being far from enough. C. Being past the length of being eatable. D. Being out of date. 13. What do we know about The Real Junk Food Project? A. It gets food from the waste. B. It wants to make a fat profit. C. It drew massive attention lately. D. Its main aim is to do charities. 14. What can we learn from Paragraph 4? A. Some countries in Europe are actively helping poor people. B Some countries in Europe are trying to address food waste. C. Related shops in Europe are willing to give away their food. D. All the countries in Europe have made laws to handle food waste. 15. What is the best title of the passage? A. Turning Trash into Treats B. Buying Less and Smarter C. Food Trash Industry D. Warn against Food Waste 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Learning to Love Locally-Grown Foods Cooking shows on TV are usually all about foreign foods.

Feeling sad for the bird, Albert petted it gently and wanted to help it, but he didn’t know how since he was just 7 years old. So he took the bird in his hands, carried it carefully home and showed it to his parents. At once, his parents took action. They washed the bird and found it injured. With the help of his parents, Albert dressed the wound. But it would need time and care for the bird to completely recover. As the bird had become dear to his heart, Albert immediately offered to care for the bird. Albert named his new friend “Lucky”. He began to feed the bird and he even ran out to collect grass to build a soft nest for the bird. Then, he put the nest beside his bed. Albert and the bird were sleeping together and living together. Soon they became close friends. Albert always told it about his experiences in school and his secrets. Lucky, an extremely patient audience, usually responded to him with a few nods and chirps (叽叽喳喳声). Albert’s parents also loved Lucky. They regarded it as a family member. In the course of time, Lucky gradually recovered and started to hop (脚跳) and jump a little bit and exercise its wings. That made everyone happier. Soon it would be able to fly. How wonderful! But what then? Albert became thoughtful and started to think. “If Lucky started to fly, it could simply fly away one day.” But that would not happen. Albert loved his friend so much that he couldn’t imagine parting with it. He wondered, “I should surely stay with Lucky forever. But how? Keep the windows closed all the time? That was not practical.” 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Then, he bought a small cage and kept Lucky in it. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Knowing the bad situation, Albert’s parents decided to help Lucky and their son. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
