Unit6 At One with Nature 阅读完形训练 - 2024-2025学年高一英语专项提高训练必刷好题 （外研版2019必修第一册） 一、阅读理解 Passage1. There is a large brown chair looking out over the sea. It’s too big for your kitchen but small enough to climb onto, and the views are great. On one side of the chair is the word “Relax”, and on the other side it says “Smile”. In the middle it says “Southern Point of Europe.” Welcome to the Greek island of Gavdos. Although it’s thought to be the southernmost piece of Europe, it’s not one of Greek better-known islands—it’s closer to Africa than to Athens, the Greek capital. The Canary Islands, which are part of Spain, are further south, but they’re usually considered to be part of Africa. Gavdos, which is home to just one school, one policeman and fewer than 70 citizens, has played an important part in stories for centuries. For different reasons, it’s still featured in (是……的特征)stories today. Not far south of the large island of Crete, it was once named as Cauda. Some people still think it might be the place where Odysseus was imprisoned(关押)in Homer’s The Odyssey, although most experts don’t agree. That doesn’t stop Greeks and others who love the island sharing the idea! In fact, it was used a little like a prison(监狱)in the 20th century because it was so far away. Now, that’s exactly why travelers choose to take a trip there in summer, looking for a different beach holiday, far from hotels and people. But now Gavdos often appears in the news stories. In 2024, hundreds of people arrived on the island from Africa and Asia. These are people who hope that Gavdos is the next chapter(章) in stories of their own. 1．What can be learned about the chair mentioned in paragraph 1? A．It is set by the locals. B．It offers people a place to take a rest. C．It is impossible to climb onto. D．It allows people to admire beautiful sea views. 2．What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A．Where Gavdos is. B．What Gavdos looks like. C．Why people love Gavdos. D．What people think of Gavdos. 3．What attracts tourists lo come to Gavdos? A．It mixes African and European cultures. B．There is a famous prison on it. C．It provides a chance to enjoy a peaceful holiday. D．There are many unknown things for them to discover. 4．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A．To tell a story. B．To share his experience. C．To introduce an island. D．To give suggestions on traveling. Passage2. Many people prefer to have a bottle of water with them wherever they go, and most typically they use disposable (一次性的) plastic bottles for this purpose. Despite the convenience of this approach, it’s worth considering a move away from bottled water. Plastic water bottles greatly contribute to the environmental crises that we’re currently facing. Of course plastic can be recycled, but only a small portion of waste is processed properly and reused again. Most of the plastic packaging ends up either in the landfills or in the oceans. While our world’s oceans are faced with 8.8 million tons of new plastic material every year, we must admit that plastic water bottles share part of the blame for this problem. By using disposable water bottles on a regular basis, consumers create continued financial motivation for the water companies to keep producing huge amounts of waste, while it’s nearly impossible to monitor how the bottles are manufactured and which percentage is made of recycled plastic. Many brands advertise a variety of beneficial effects, but in reality bottled water passes through an industrial facility and may be polluted in quite a few ways. On the other hand, the impact of water impurities (杂质) can directly lead to serious health problems if such water is consumed over a long period. Some of the water impurities may be of chemical nature, like chlorine or calcium, and they can damage the skin. In rare cases it’s possible to trace amounts of highly poisonous materials in the bottled water products, which apparently results in dangerous results. That’s why it’s highly recommended to use both your own portable water bottle on the road as well as a water purification device at home to ensure that the water you are drinking daily is completely free of anything that could harm your health. Now that you’re aware of how bottled water s pretty harmful not only to humans but also to wildlife and environment, are you ready to say good bye to it? 1．How does the author feel when it comes to plastic water bottles? A．These bottles have caught most people’s attention. B．They have created great convenience to our life. C．They should have been recycled to great extent. D．They have caused terrible impact on the earth. 2．What can we infer according to the third paragraph? A．The water companies are seeking for high profits. B．You should be cautious when deciding on bottled water. C．The bottles are made from non- recycled plastic. D．You should choose the famous brands of bottled water. 3．What is likely to make the consumers worried? A．Water in the bottles kept for a long time. B．The bottles made of different materials. C．The bottled water with a lot of impurities. D．The complex procedure of producing bottles. 4．Which of the following can sum up the passage? A．Why You Need to Break Your Bottled Water Habit? B．How the Plastic Bottled Water Is Actually Produced? C．Why Most People Have a Preference for Bottled Water? D．How Plastic Bottles Create Influence to Environment? Passage3. It’s a warm June afternoon, and in a group of bushes and trees, a bird sings. A small insect climbs over a leaf. The Muziekplein forest, next to an 18-story building and a railway line, is about the size of a basketball court; before it was planted in 2018, the area was a parking place. The forest is one of seven such extremely small forests in the Dutch city of Utrecht, and 144 across the Netherlands. By the end of this year, according to IVN Nature Education, the organization proposing the country’s initiative (计划), there will be 200. Since the first forest was planted in the Netherlands in 2015, the concept has become popular. Daan Bleichrodt, who launched IVN’s Tiny Forest initiative with the goal of making it easier for children to get into and connect with nature, said that he thinks it is popular because people are becoming more aware of major environmental challenges. It’s a very practical way to do something positive in the light of climate change and loss of biodiversity. Jeroen Schenkels, a senior adviser for the city of Utrecht on green planning, said he sees the mini-forests as nature-based approaches that are able to help the city weather heat waves and improve water retention (保持). But one of the biggest interests is social. “One of the most important things is that they give people the opportunity to be involved in nature in the neighbourhood,” Schenkels said. Between 2018 and 2020, 40 different plant and animal groups and 121 total animal species were found in the Muziekplein forest alone. According to Wageningen University researchers, across the 11 tiny forests in their study, volunteers observed 636 animal species. They also identified 298 plant species in addition to the original species planted in the plots. Maintenance(维护) of the forests occasionally involves removing aggressive weeds, but in general new plant species, such as wild flowers that appear, are allowed to grow. 1．What do we know about the Muziekplein forest? A．It is newly planted. B．It sits in an urban area. C．It grows along a railway. D．It is shaped like a basketball court. 2．What’s the purpose of the Tiny Forest initiative? A．To make people realize environmental challenges. B．To make nature more accessible to children. C．To increase the Netherlands’ biodiversity. D．To call for action on climate change. 3．What does Paragraph 3 focus on? A．Benefits of mini-forests in cities. B．Ways to keep neighborhoods green. C．Inspiration for planting forests in cities. D．Importance of being exposed to nature. 4．How does the author state the forests’ effect on biodiversity? A．By listing figures. B．By giving examples. C．By doing experiments. D．By making comparisons. Passage4. Despite being one of the most famous and most-visited attractions in the United States, Grand Canyon National Park still holds some surprises. Here are a few facts about the Grand Canyon you probably don’t know. We don’t really know how old it is It has long been believed that the Colorado River began carving the Grand Canyon about 6 million years ago, but a study contained a real shocker, suggesting that the process may have begun as far back as 70 million years. In all likelihood, the Grand Canyon as we know it today started out as a series of smaller canyons 70 million years ago, but the majority of the canyon did not begin to take shape until much more recently. The Grand Canyon creates its own weather Of all Grand Canyon facts, this one is pretty cool — no pun (双关语) intended. Sudden changes in elevation (海拔) have great effects on temperature and rainfall, so the weather you’re experiencing could change largely depending on where you are in the Grand Canyon. The coldest, wettest weather station in the area is the Bright Angel Ranger Station on the North Rim, while the hottest (and one of the driest) is just 8 miles away at Phantom Ranch. There are lots of fossils in the area While the dinosaurs might have missed out on seeing the Grand Canyon, lots of other fossils have been found that suggest other creatures often visited the area. They range from ancient marine fossils dating back 1.2 billion years to fairly recent land mammals that left their remains in canyon caves about 10,000 years ago. Fish are relatively uncommon in the area Prior to modern flood control measures, the Colorado River provided a uniquely difficult habitat for fish, with heavy silt, frequent floods, and temperatures ranging from extreme heat in summer to sub-freezing in winter. As a result, only eight fish species are native to the Grand Canyon, six of which are found nowhere outside of the Colorado River. 1．What is the weather like in the Great Canyon? A．It is pretty cool. B．It is extremely hot. C．It is unusually cold. D．It changes from place to place. 2．Why are fish relatively unusual in the area? A．It has a special geological phenomenon. B．The temperature here is relatively stable. C．It offers tough habitats for fish with extreme temperature. D．There are eight fish species unique to the world. 3．Which section of a magazine is the text most likely from? A．Geography. B．Life. C．Stories. D．Science. Passage5. Every year, travelers head to South America to be amazed at the vast glaciers, huge open skies and high mountains. But at Omora Ethnobotanical Park on Tierra del Fuego, visitors are encouraged to think small. Tierra del Fuego, a remote island at the tip of South America, might offer little in terms of animals and trees, but when it comes to bryophytes (苔藓植物), it is among the richest corners of the planet. In the area that covers less than 0.01% of the Earth’s land surface, more than 5% of the world’s bryophyte species is found. On entering the park, you’re given a magnifying lens (放大镜). Guided by plant experts, you are invited to get down on your hands and knees to explore the little-known world of Tierra del Fuego’s “miniature forests” — the bryophytes that cover the rocks and trees. Focus is key: as you tiptoe through the park, it is easy to miss or even step on them. I wondered how interesting mosses could be. But when I got up close, they started to come to life. Shapes and colors appeared that were not visible to the naked eye. One plant was bright yellow, while another was green with a bright red tip like a little hat. One of the strangest plants is Old Man’s Beard, which looks like thin noodles and hangs off the trees in webs. According to my guide Lily Lewis, it plays an important role in the growth of the forest, capturing nutrients (营养) and salts blown in on the ocean wind. Old Man’s Beard is extremely vulnerable to pollution, and has all but disappeared across much of the planet. But in Tierra del Fuego, where the air and rain are among the cleanest on the planet, it grows wildly. “The hand lens is your entry point into the world of the miniature forests,” Lewis said. “Looking through a lens reminds you that there are other viewpoints from which we can see the world.” 1．Which title best describes Tierra del Fuego? A．A wonderland for tiny plants. B．A unique place for rare species. C．A top destination for hiking lovers. D．A remote land with different landscapes. 2．What quality is highly valued while exploring Omora Ethnobotanical Park? A．Curiosity and creativity. B．Quickness and confidence. C．Calmness and attentiveness. D．Determination and courage. 3．Which can best replace the underlined word “vulnerable”? A．Sensitive. B．Adaptable. C．Beneficial. D．Resistant. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．Eco-tourism in Tierra del Fuego B．An Encounter with Old Man’s Beard C．A Tiny Forest on the Tip of the World D．Start Your Journey of Discovery, Now! Passage5. China’s tea culture is an ancient and profound (意义深远的) cultural heritage that has been passed down and developed for thousands of years. It weaves an complicated and fascinating pattern within Chinese society. Tea growing in China is an art form in itself. The tea-growing areas, with their special climates and lands, produce teas of exceptional quality. From the misty mountains of Fujian to the green landscapes of Yunnan, different areas offer a rich variety of tea types. The process of making tea is careful and detailed. It involves exact measurements of water temperature, the right amount of tea leaves, and a certain steeping time to get the fullest flavor and smell. This care for details shows the Chinese people’s search for excellence in all parts of life. Tea is not merely a beverage; it is a thing that helps social relations. It brings people together, whether in family get-togethers, friendly meetings, or business talks. The act of sharing a cup of tea is a sign of kindness and connection. And the many tea-houses all over the country offer places for people to relax, talk, and enjoy the peace that tea gives. Moreover, tea ceremonies are an important part of Chinese culture. These ceremonies are complex and formal, showing the grace and elegance of Chinese traditions. They involve exact movements and a deep respect for the tea and the process. In addition to its social and cultural importance, tea in China is also known for its possible health benefits. It is thought to have anti-oxidant (抗氧化的) features and is linked to various good effects on physical health. As China keeps moving forward and modernizing, its tea culture is still strongly fixed, a proof of its historical and cultural importance. It keeps attracting both the Chinese people and those from around the world, inviting them to explore and enjoy the beauty and depth of this great cultural phenomenon. 1．What is the main reason for the rich variety of tea types in China? A．Different processing methods. B．Different people’s preferences. C．Different regions’ climates and lands. D．Different times of harvest. 2．What does the word “beverages” mean in the passage? A．A type of food that is sweet and usually served as dessert. B．A tool or equipment used for cooking. C．A kind of medicine that helps to cure diseases. D．Something that people drink, such as water, juice, or coffee. 3．What is the main feature of tea ceremonies in China? A．Simple and casual. B．Complicated and formal. C．Fast-paced and efficient. D．Loud and lively. 4．Why is tea culture still firmly rooted in China? A．Because of its long history. B．Because it is profitable. C．Because it is easy to maintain. D．Because the government promotes it. Passage6. “It’s not unusual for guests to feel emotional when they discover the story behind our food,” says Patrick Navis. “Not to mention when they taste it. One even cried with happiness.” The setting for these tearful scenes? Navis’s restaurant in a Dutch city. Here, the owner and his team create experimental food using herbs, roots, flowers and nuts— some common, others less so. Most of these ingredients come from the Ketelbroek Food Forest nearby. To the untrained eye, it’s like an ordinary wood. But there’s one key difference: everything in it is edible (可食用的). It was set up in 2009 by Dutch botanist and environmentalist Noah Eck as an experiment in slow farming, to see what would happen if the right combination of food plants were left to grow together like a natural forest, without chemicals. “It’s the first ‘food forest’ of its kind in Europe and we’re one of the few restaurants around the world cooperating in this way,” says Navis. “We have over 400 different species of edible plants we plan our menus around, including some we previously knew little about.” He harvests the ingredients and, with his fellow chefs, works them into beautifully presented tasting menus, served in a dining room hidden in the backstreets of the city, “To us, fine dining is not about the fame of a restaurant, its location, expensive decoration, fancy cooking and wine list,” says Navis. “It’s about adding value through creativity and using ingredients nobody knows of, which are grown with great attention.” However, he adds, luxury cooking can be about enhancing everyday ingredients, too. “When looking at cooking in this way, who can argue that caviar (鱼子酱), for example, is more valuable than a carrot grown with specialist knowledge?” Experimentation is extremely important to Navis. In the next five years, he hopes to open an outdoor restaurant. But for now, the most important thing is to continue focusing on how plants are being grown and the perennial system used in the Food Forest, reducing the need for replanting each season. 1．What can we learn about Navis’s restaurant? A．It is known for its rare food sources. B．It serves food with moving stories. C．It offers experimental food for free. D．It is well received by its guests. 2．How is Ketelbrock Food Forest different from ordinary woods? A．It is a natural forest. B．Diverse plants coexist in it. C．It provides safe food ingredients. D．Plants there take longer to grow. 3．What is the key element of fine dining according to Navis? A．Convenient locations. B．Expensive ingredients. C．Innovative menus. D．Fancy cooking techniques. 4．What does “the perennial system” in the last paragraph probably refer to? A．Farming with proper use of chemicals. B．The sustainable farming practice. C．Natural farming without human intervention. D．An experimental farm for an outdoor restaurant. 二、完形填空 Passage1. During the early months of 2012, I had major heart surgery (外科手术).

There once was an ordinary street in the suburbs where no one cared much for their gardens. The lawns were overgrown, the weeds were taking over and the hedges(树篱) 1 needed to be cut back. It looked very terrible. 2 when the neighbors saw their gardens, they just looked at each other and laughed. It seemed too hard to clear all the gardens and no one could be 3 to make them better because everyone’s garden was equally 4 . No one felt it was urgent to change anything. Then a gardener named Bill 5 in the small town. Bill was a 6 , hard-working and patient man who started working in the garden as soon as he moved in the street. He took his lawn mower(割草机) out to cut back the grass and pulled out all of the 7 . Finally, he took up his gardening and started 8 his hedges, making them look like flowers, plants, stones, balls, etc. It was a huge project but his hard work 9 and his garden looked inviting. 10 by the beautiful scenery, the neighbors walked by and admired the 11 manicured(修整的) garden. Before long, something 12 happened. One by one, the neighbors started to put in more effort in their own gardens and the sounds of lawn mowers could be heard again. After a few months, the street was transformed from a dirty, 13 collection of houses to a beautiful street that wouldn’t be out of place in a stylish magazine.

It was late July and except for a few thin, white clouds the sky was a bright blue. The sun was 1 on the green grass giving it a golden colour. Birds were 2 flying to and from their homes feeding their 3 growing babies. The air was full of the smell of freshly-cut grass and the sweet smell of 4 . In the field behind my house, I could see sheep 5 grass by the edge of the woods. Our black cat, Alice was sleeping under the shade (阴凉) of our Maple tree, without noticing the little rabbit that was 6 along in the field behind my home. I could see the trees, flowers, and plants along the side of the 7 . All of this beauty was here for me just as I 8 outside. Filled with all this, my heart felt so 9 . I breathed in the sweet, cool, morning air and walked without 10 in the grass, experiencing nature.

Every year about 40,000 people attempt to climb Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa. They 1 with them lots of waste. The 2 might damage the beauty of the place. The glaciers(冰川) are disappearing, changing the face of Kilimanjaro. Hearing these stories, I’m 3 about the place — other destinations are described as “purer” natural experiences. However, I soon discover 4 much has changed since the days of disturbing reports of 5 among tons of rubbish. I find a 6 mountain, with toilets at camps and along the paths. The environmental challenges are 7 but the efforts made by the Tanzania National Park Authority seem to be paying off. The best of a Kilimanjaro 8 , in my opinion, isn’t reaching the top. Mountains are 9 as spiritual places by many cultures. This view is especially evident on Kilimanjaro as 10 go through five ecosystems(生态系统) in the space of a few kilometers. At the base is a rainforest. It ends abruptly at 3, 000 meters, giving way to lands of low growing plants. Further up, the weather 11 — low clouds envelope the mountainsides, which are covered 12 thick grass. I count twelve shades of green from where I stand. Above 4, 000 meters is the highland 13 : gravel(砾石), stones and rocks. 14 you climb into an arctic-like zone with permanent snow and the glaciers that may soon disappear.

There is a large brown chair looking out over the sea. It’s too big for your kitchen but small enough to climb onto, and the views are great. On one side of the chair is the word “Relax”, and on the other side it says “Smile”. In the middle it says “Southern Point of Europe.” Welcome to the Greek island of Gavdos. Although it’s thought to be the southernmost piece of Europe, it’s not one of Greek better-known islands—it’s closer to Africa than to Athens, the Greek capital. The Canary Islands, which are part of Spain, are further south, but they’re usually considered to be part of Africa. Gavdos, which is home to just one school, one policeman and fewer than 70 citizens, has played an important part in stories for centuries. For different reasons, it’s still featured in (是……的特征)stories today. Not far south of the large island of Crete, it was once named as Cauda. Some people still think it might be the place where Odysseus was imprisoned(关押)in Homer’s The Odyssey, although most experts don’t agree. That doesn’t stop Greeks and others who love the island sharing the idea! In fact, it was used a little like a prison(监狱)in the 20th century because it was so far away. Now, that’s exactly why travelers choose to take a trip there in summer, looking for a different beach holiday, far from hotels and people. But now Gavdos often appears in the news stories. In 2024, hundreds of people arrived on the island from Africa and Asia. These are people who hope that Gavdos is the next chapter(章) in stories of their own. 1．What can be learned about the chair mentioned in paragraph 1? A．It is set by the locals. B．It offers people a place to take a rest. C．It is impossible to climb onto. D．It allows people to admire beautiful sea views. 2．What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A．Where Gavdos is. B．What Gavdos looks like. C．Why people love Gavdos. D．What people think of Gavdos. 3．What attracts tourists lo come to Gavdos? A．It mixes African and European cultures. B．There is a famous prison on it. C．It provides a chance to enjoy a peaceful holiday. D．There are many unknown things for them to discover. 4．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A．To tell a story. B．To share his experience. C．To introduce an island. D．To give suggestions on traveling. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．C 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了欧洲最南部的小岛——Gavdos。 1． 细节理解题。根据第一段的“It’s too big for your kitchen but small enough to climb onto, and the views are great.(它对于厨房来说太大了，但足够小可以爬上去，而且景色很好。)”可知椅子可以让人们欣赏美丽的海景。故选D项。 2．主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“Although it’s thought to be the southernmost piece of Europe, it’s not one of Greek better-known islands—it’s closer to Africa than to Athens, the Greek capital.(尽管它被认为是欧洲最南端的部分，但它并不是希腊最著名的岛屿之一——它离非洲比离希腊首都雅典更近。)”可知此段主要讲述Gavdos的位置。故选A项。 3．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Now, that’s exactly why travelers choose to take a trip there in summer, looking for a different beach holiday, far from hotels and people.(现在，这正是为什么游客选择夏天去那里旅行的原因，寻找一种不同的海滩假期，远离酒店和人群。)”可知吸引游客来Gavdos的是享受宁静假期的机会。故选C项。 4．推理判断题。纵观全文，结合第二段首句“Welcome to the Greek island of Gavdos. Although it’s thought to be the southernmost piece of Europe, it’s not one of Greek better-known islands—it’s closer to Africa than to Athens, the Greek capital.(欢迎来到希腊加夫多斯岛。虽然它被认为是欧洲最南端的一块，但它不是希腊最著名的岛屿之一——它比希腊首都雅典更靠近非洲。)”以及第三段首句“Gavdos, which is home to just one school, one policeman and fewer than 70 citizens, has played an important part in stories for centuries.(加夫多斯只有一所学校、一名警察和不到70名公民，几个世纪以来，它在故事中发挥了重要作用。)”和第四段的“That doesn’t stop Greeks and others who love the island sharing the idea! In fact, it was used a little like a prison(监狱)in the 20th century because it was so far away. Now, that’s exactly why travelers choose to take a trip there in summer, looking for a different beach holiday, far from hotels and people.(这并不能阻止希腊人和其他热爱这座岛屿的人分享这一想法！事实上，它在20世纪有点像监狱，因为它太远了。现在，这正是为什么旅行者选择在夏天去那里旅行，寻找一个不同的海滩度假，远离酒店和人群。)”可知，作者介绍了位于希腊的Gavdos岛的位置、历史背景以及现在的状况。因此作者写作的目的应该是介绍一个岛屿。故选C项。 Passage2. Many people prefer to have a bottle of water with them wherever they go, and most typically they use disposable (一次性的) plastic bottles for this purpose. Despite the convenience of this approach, it’s worth considering a move away from bottled water. Plastic water bottles greatly contribute to the environmental crises that we’re currently facing. Of course plastic can be recycled, but only a small portion of waste is processed properly and reused again. Most of the plastic packaging ends up either in the landfills or in the oceans. While our world’s oceans are faced with 8.8 million tons of new plastic material every year, we must admit that plastic water bottles share part of the blame for this problem. By using disposable water bottles on a regular basis, consumers create continued financial motivation for the water companies to keep producing huge amounts of waste, while it’s nearly impossible to monitor how the bottles are manufactured and which percentage is made of recycled plastic. Many brands advertise a variety of beneficial effects, but in reality bottled water passes through an industrial facility and may be polluted in quite a few ways. On the other hand, the impact of water impurities (杂质) can directly lead to serious health problems if such water is consumed over a long period. Some of the water impurities may be of chemical nature, like chlorine or calcium, and they can damage the skin. In rare cases it’s possible to trace amounts of highly poisonous materials in the bottled water products, which apparently results in dangerous results. That’s why it’s highly recommended to use both your own portable water bottle on the road as well as a water purification device at home to ensure that the water you are drinking daily is completely free of anything that could harm your health. Now that you’re aware of how bottled water s pretty harmful not only to humans but also to wildlife and environment, are you ready to say good bye to it? 1．How does the author feel when it comes to plastic water bottles? A．These bottles have caught most people’s attention. B．They have created great convenience to our life. C．They should have been recycled to great extent. D．They have caused terrible impact on the earth. 2．What can we infer according to the third paragraph? A．The water companies are seeking for high profits. B．You should be cautious when deciding on bottled water. C．The bottles are made from non- recycled plastic. D．You should choose the famous brands of bottled water. 3．What is likely to make the consumers worried? A．Water in the bottles kept for a long time. B．The bottles made of different materials. C．The bottled water with a lot of impurities. D．The complex procedure of producing bottles. 4．Which of the following can sum up the passage? A．Why You Need to Break Your Bottled Water Habit? B．How the Plastic Bottled Water Is Actually Produced? C．Why Most People Have a Preference for Bottled Water? D．How Plastic Bottles Create Influence to Environment? 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要围绕“放弃瓶装水”这一观点展开，列举了塑料水瓶对环境的危害、瓶装水可能存在的健康风险，建议人们放弃瓶装水。 1．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Plastic water bottles greatly contribute to the environmental crises that we’re currently facing. Of course plastic can be recycled, but only a small portion of waste is processed properly and reused again. Most of the plastic packaging ends up either in the landfills or in the oceans. While our world’s oceans are faced with 8.8 million tons of new plastic material every year, we must admit that plastic water bottles share part of the blame for this problem.(塑料水瓶极大地加剧了我们目前所面临的环境危机。当然，塑料可以回收，但只有一小部分废物得到了妥善处理并再次使用。大多数塑料包装最终要么被填埋，要么被扔进海洋。当我们的海洋每年面临880万吨新增塑料材料时，我们必须承认塑料水瓶是造成这一问题的部分原因。)”可知，塑料水瓶极大地加剧了目前我们所面临的环境危机，而大多数塑料包装最终都会被填埋或扔进海洋，这表明塑料水瓶对地球造成了严重的影响。故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“By using disposable water bottles on a regular basis, consumers create continued financial motivation for the water companies to keep producing huge amounts of waste, while it’s nearly impossible to monitor how the bottles are manufactured and which percentage is made of recycled plastic.(通过经常使用一次性水瓶，消费者为水公司继续生产大量废物提供了持续的财务动力，而几乎不可能监测这些瓶子的制造过程以及其中有多少是回收塑料制成的。)”可知，我们无法确定瓶装水的制造过程和原料是否安全，因此应该谨慎选择瓶装水。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“On the other hand, the impact of water impurities(杂质)can directly lead to serious health problems if such water is consumed over a long period. Some of the water impurities may be of chemical nature, like chlorine or calcium, and they can damage the skin.(另一方面，如果长时间饮用这种水，水中杂质的影响会直接导致严重的健康问题。一些水中杂质可能是化学性质的，如氯或钙，它们会损害皮肤。)”可知，水中杂质的影响可以直接导致严重的健康问题，特别是当这些水被长期饮用时。因此，含有大量杂质的瓶装水很可能会让消费者感到担忧。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Many people prefer to have a bottle of water with them wherever they go, and most typically they use disposable (一次性的) plastic bottles for this purpose. Despite the convenience of this approach, it’s worth considering a move away from bottled water.(许多人无论走到哪里都喜欢随身带一瓶水，而大多数情况下，他们都会使用一次性塑料瓶来达到这个目的。尽管这种方法很方便，但值得考虑放弃瓶装水。)”以及最后一段“Now that you’re aware of how bottled water s pretty harmful not only to humans but also to wildlife and environment, are you ready to say good bye to it?(既然您已经意识到瓶装水不仅对人类有害，而且对野生动物和环境也有害，您准备好和它说再见了吗？)”，并结合全文内容可知，文章主要讨论了瓶装水对环境和健康的不良影响，并建议读者放弃瓶装水，选项A“Why You Need to Break Your Bottled Water Habit (为什么你需要打破你的瓶装水习惯)”准确地概括了文章的主要内容。故选A。 Passage3. It’s a warm June afternoon, and in a group of bushes and trees, a bird sings. A small insect climbs over a leaf. The Muziekplein forest, next to an 18-story building and a railway line, is about the size of a basketball court; before it was planted in 2018, the area was a parking place. The forest is one of seven such extremely small forests in the Dutch city of Utrecht, and 144 across the Netherlands. By the end of this year, according to IVN Nature Education, the organization proposing the country’s initiative (计划), there will be 200. Since the first forest was planted in the Netherlands in 2015, the concept has become popular. Daan Bleichrodt, who launched IVN’s Tiny Forest initiative with the goal of making it easier for children to get into and connect with nature, said that he thinks it is popular because people are becoming more aware of major environmental challenges. It’s a very practical way to do something positive in the light of climate change and loss of biodiversity. Jeroen Schenkels, a senior adviser for the city of Utrecht on green planning, said he sees the mini-forests as nature-based approaches that are able to help the city weather heat waves and improve water retention (保持). But one of the biggest interests is social. “One of the most important things is that they give people the opportunity to be involved in nature in the neighbourhood,” Schenkels said. Between 2018 and 2020, 40 different plant and animal groups and 121 total animal species were found in the Muziekplein forest alone. According to Wageningen University researchers, across the 11 tiny forests in their study, volunteers observed 636 animal species. They also identified 298 plant species in addition to the original species planted in the plots. Maintenance(维护) of the forests occasionally involves removing aggressive weeds, but in general new plant species, such as wild flowers that appear, are allowed to grow. 1．What do we know about the Muziekplein forest? A．It is newly planted. B．It sits in an urban area. C．It grows along a railway. D．It is shaped like a basketball court. 2．What’s the purpose of the Tiny Forest initiative? A．To make people realize environmental challenges. B．To make nature more accessible to children. C．To increase the Netherlands’ biodiversity. D．To call for action on climate change. 3．What does Paragraph 3 focus on? A．Benefits of mini-forests in cities. B．Ways to keep neighborhoods green. C．Inspiration for planting forests in cities. D．Importance of being exposed to nature. 4．How does the author state the forests’ effect on biodiversity? A．By listing figures. B．By giving examples. C．By doing experiments. D．By making comparisons. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．A 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了荷兰推行的“微型森林”倡议，该倡议旨在让儿童接触大自然，应对环境挑战。这些森林能帮助城市抵御热浪、提高保水能力，并为人们提供亲近自然的机会。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段中“The Muziekplein forest, next to an 18-story building and a railway line, is about the size of a basketball court; before it was planted in 2018, the area was a parking place. (穆兹克普莱恩森林毗邻一座18层的建筑和一条铁路线，大约有一个篮球场那么大；在2018年种植之前，该地区是一个停车场。)”可知，这片森林靠近建筑物和铁路线，之前是停车场。由此可知，它坐落在市区。故选B项。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Daan Bleichrodt, who launched IVN’s Tiny Forest initiative with the goal of making it easier for children to get into and connect with nature, said that he thinks it is popular because people are becoming more aware of major environmental challenges. (Daan Bleichrodt发起了IVN的“微型森林”倡议，目的是让孩子们更容易进入大自然，与大自然建立联系。他说，他认为这一倡议之所以受欢迎，是因为人们越来越意识到重大的环境挑战。)”可知，“微型森林”倡议的目的是让孩子们更容易接近大自然。故选B项。 3．主旨大意题。根据第三段“Jeroen Schenkels, a senior adviser for the city of Utrecht on green planning, said he sees the mini-forests as nature-based approaches that are able to help the city weather heat waves and improve water retention (保持). But one of the biggest interests is social. “One of the most important things is that they give people the opportunity to be involved in nature in the neighbourhood,” Schenkels said. (乌得勒支市绿色规划高级顾问Jeroen Schenkels说，他认为微型森林是一种基于自然的方法，能够帮助城市抵御热浪，提高保水能力。但最大的利益之一是社会利益。Schenkels说：“最重要的一点是，它们给人们提供了在附近接触大自然的机会。”)”可知，本段介绍了城市中的微型森林有助于城市抵御热浪、提高保水能力，以及让人们接触大自然。因此，本段关注的是城市微型森林的好处。故选A项。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Between 2018 and 2020, 40 different plant and animal groups and 121 total animal species were found in the Muziekplein forest alone. According to Wageningen University researchers, across the 11 tiny forests in their study, volunteers observed 636 animal species. They also identified 298 plant species in addition to the original species planted in the plots. (2018年至2020年期间，仅在穆兹克普莱恩森林就发现了40种不同的动植物类群和121种动物。据瓦格宁根大学的研究人员称，在他们的研究中，志愿者们在11个微型森林中观察到了636种动物。他们还鉴定了298种植物，除了种植在地块上的原始物种。)”可知，作者通过列举新发现的动植物物种的数量情况，展现了这些微型森林对生物多样性的影响。故选A项。 Passage4. Despite being one of the most famous and most-visited attractions in the United States, Grand Canyon National Park still holds some surprises. Here are a few facts about the Grand Canyon you probably don’t know. We don’t really know how old it is It has long been believed that the Colorado River began carving the Grand Canyon about 6 million years ago, but a study contained a real shocker, suggesting that the process may have begun as far back as 70 million years. In all likelihood, the Grand Canyon as we know it today started out as a series of smaller canyons 70 million years ago, but the majority of the canyon did not begin to take shape until much more recently. The Grand Canyon creates its own weather Of all Grand Canyon facts, this one is pretty cool — no pun (双关语) intended. Sudden changes in elevation (海拔) have great effects on temperature and rainfall, so the weather you’re experiencing could change largely depending on where you are in the Grand Canyon. The coldest, wettest weather station in the area is the Bright Angel Ranger Station on the North Rim, while the hottest (and one of the driest) is just 8 miles away at Phantom Ranch. There are lots of fossils in the area While the dinosaurs might have missed out on seeing the Grand Canyon, lots of other fossils have been found that suggest other creatures often visited the area. They range from ancient marine fossils dating back 1.2 billion years to fairly recent land mammals that left their remains in canyon caves about 10,000 years ago. Fish are relatively uncommon in the area Prior to modern flood control measures, the Colorado River provided a uniquely difficult habitat for fish, with heavy silt, frequent floods, and temperatures ranging from extreme heat in summer to sub-freezing in winter. As a result, only eight fish species are native to the Grand Canyon, six of which are found nowhere outside of the Colorado River. 1．What is the weather like in the Great Canyon? A．It is pretty cool. B．It is extremely hot. C．It is unusually cold. D．It changes from place to place. 2．Why are fish relatively unusual in the area? A．It has a special geological phenomenon. B．The temperature here is relatively stable. C．It offers tough habitats for fish with extreme temperature. D．There are eight fish species unique to the world. 3．Which section of a magazine is the text most likely from? A．Geography. B．Life. C．Stories. D．Science. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．A 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章讲述了美国的大峡谷国家公园是美国最著名和最受游客欢迎的景点之一，但仍然有一些鲜为人知的真相。 1．细节理解题。根据文章The Grand Canyon creates its own weather中“Sudden changes in elevation (海拔) have great effects on temperature and rainfall, so the weather you’re experiencing could change largely depending on where you are in the Grand Canyon. (海拔的突然变化对温度和降雨有很大的影响，所以你所经历的天气可能在很大程度上取决于你在大峡谷的位置。)”可知，在不同的位置天气是不同的，大峡谷的天气因地而异。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据文章Fish are relatively uncommon in the area中“Prior to modern flood control measures, the Colorado River provided a uniquely difficult habitat for fish, with heavy silt, frequent floods, and temperatures ranging from extreme heat in summer to sub-freezing in winter. (在现代洪水控制措施之前，科罗拉多河为鱼类提供了一个独特的困难栖息地，泥沙淤积，洪水频繁，气温从夏季的极端高温到冬季的零下温度。)”可知，鱼类在这个地区相对不常见是因为它为极端温度下的鱼类提供了艰巨的栖息地。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Despite being one of the most famous and most-visited attractions in the United States, Grand Canyon National Park still holds some surprises. Here are a few facts about the Grand Canyon you probably don’t know. (尽管大峡谷国家公园是美国最著名、游客最多的景点之一，但它仍然有一些惊喜。以下是一些你可能不知道的关于大峡谷的事实。)”可知，本文是关于大峡谷的一些信息，因此本文很有可能来自杂志的地理板块。故选A。 Passage5. Every year, travelers head to South America to be amazed at the vast glaciers, huge open skies and high mountains. But at Omora Ethnobotanical Park on Tierra del Fuego, visitors are encouraged to think small. Tierra del Fuego, a remote island at the tip of South America, might offer little in terms of animals and trees, but when it comes to bryophytes (苔藓植物), it is among the richest corners of the planet. In the area that covers less than 0.01% of the Earth’s land surface, more than 5% of the world’s bryophyte species is found. On entering the park, you’re given a magnifying lens (放大镜). Guided by plant experts, you are invited to get down on your hands and knees to explore the little-known world of Tierra del Fuego’s “miniature forests” — the bryophytes that cover the rocks and trees. Focus is key: as you tiptoe through the park, it is easy to miss or even step on them. I wondered how interesting mosses could be. But when I got up close, they started to come to life. Shapes and colors appeared that were not visible to the naked eye. One plant was bright yellow, while another was green with a bright red tip like a little hat. One of the strangest plants is Old Man’s Beard, which looks like thin noodles and hangs off the trees in webs. According to my guide Lily Lewis, it plays an important role in the growth of the forest, capturing nutrients (营养) and salts blown in on the ocean wind. Old Man’s Beard is extremely vulnerable to pollution, and has all but disappeared across much of the planet. But in Tierra del Fuego, where the air and rain are among the cleanest on the planet, it grows wildly. “The hand lens is your entry point into the world of the miniature forests,” Lewis said. “Looking through a lens reminds you that there are other viewpoints from which we can see the world.” 1．Which title best describes Tierra del Fuego? A．A wonderland for tiny plants. B．A unique place for rare species. C．A top destination for hiking lovers. D．A remote land with different landscapes. 2．What quality is highly valued while exploring Omora Ethnobotanical Park? A．Curiosity and creativity. B．Quickness and confidence. C．Calmness and attentiveness. D．Determination and courage. 3．Which can best replace the underlined word “vulnerable”? A．Sensitive. B．Adaptable. C．Beneficial. D．Resistant. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．Eco-tourism in Tierra del Fuego B．An Encounter with Old Man’s Beard C．A Tiny Forest on the Tip of the World D．Start Your Journey of Discovery, Now! 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．A 4．C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了火地岛的奥莫拉民族植物公园里的苔藓植物组成了一个微型森林世界。 1．推理判断题。根据第二段“Tierra del Fuego, a remote island at the tip of South America, might offer little in terms of animals and trees, but when it comes to bryophytes (苔藓植物), it is among the richest corners of the planet. In the area that covers less than 0.01% of the Earth’s land surface, more than 5% of the world’s bryophyte species is found.(火地岛是南美洲的一个偏远岛屿，在动物和树木方面可能很少，但说到苔藓植物，它是地球上最丰富的角落之一。在地球陆地面积不到0.01%的地区，发现了世界上超过5%的苔藓植物物种)”可知，火地岛虽小，但拥有世界上超过5%的苔藓植物物种，“火地岛是小植物的仙境”适合做标题。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“Focus is key: as you tiptoe through the park, it is easy to miss or even step on them.(集中注意力是关键：当你蹑手蹑脚地穿过公园时，很容易错过甚至踩到它们)”可知，在探索奥莫拉民族植物公园时，冷静和专注是最重要的。故选C。 3．词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段“But in Tierra del Fuego, where the air and rain are among the cleanest on the planet, it grows wildly.(但在火地岛，那里的空气和雨水是地球上最干净的，它疯狂地生长)”以及划线词句“Old Man’s Beard is extremely vulnerable to pollution, and has all but disappeared across much of the planet.(Old Man’s Beard对污染极其vulnerable，几乎在地球的大部分地区都消失了)”可知，火地岛环境非常好，Old Man’s Beard在火地岛生长得很好，说明对污染很敏感，在地球上的大部分地区几乎都消失了。故划线词意思是“敏感的”。故选A。 4．主旨大意题。根据第三段“On entering the park, you’re given a magnifying lens (放大镜). Guided by plant experts, you are invited to get down on your hands and knees to explore the little-known world of Tierra del Fuego’s “miniature forests” — the bryophytes that cover the rocks and trees.(一进入公园，你就会得到一个放大镜。在植物专家的指导下，您将被邀请跪下来探索火地岛鲜为人知的“微型森林”世界——覆盖在岩石和树木上的苔藓植物)”结合文章主要介绍了火地岛的奥莫拉民族植物公园里的苔藓植物组成了一个微型森林世界。可知，C选项“世界之巅的小森林”最符合文章标题。故选C。 Passage5. China’s tea culture is an ancient and profound (意义深远的) cultural heritage that has been passed down and developed for thousands of years. It weaves an complicated and fascinating pattern within Chinese society. Tea growing in China is an art form in itself. The tea-growing areas, with their special climates and lands, produce teas of exceptional quality. From the misty mountains of Fujian to the green landscapes of Yunnan, different areas offer a rich variety of tea types. The process of making tea is careful and detailed. It involves exact measurements of water temperature, the right amount of tea leaves, and a certain steeping time to get the fullest flavor and smell. This care for details shows the Chinese people’s search for excellence in all parts of life. Tea is not merely a beverage; it is a thing that helps social relations. It brings people together, whether in family get-togethers, friendly meetings, or business talks. The act of sharing a cup of tea is a sign of kindness and connection. And the many tea-houses all over the country offer places for people to relax, talk, and enjoy the peace that tea gives. Moreover, tea ceremonies are an important part of Chinese culture. These ceremonies are complex and formal, showing the grace and elegance of Chinese traditions. They involve exact movements and a deep respect for the tea and the process. In addition to its social and cultural importance, tea in China is also known for its possible health benefits. It is thought to have anti-oxidant (抗氧化的) features and is linked to various good effects on physical health. As China keeps moving forward and modernizing, its tea culture is still strongly fixed, a proof of its historical and cultural importance. It keeps attracting both the Chinese people and those from around the world, inviting them to explore and enjoy the beauty and depth of this great cultural phenomenon. 1．What is the main reason for the rich variety of tea types in China? A．Different processing methods. B．Different people’s preferences. C．Different regions’ climates and lands. D．Different times of harvest. 2．What does the word “beverages” mean in the passage? A．A type of food that is sweet and usually served as dessert. B．A tool or equipment used for cooking. C．A kind of medicine that helps to cure diseases. D．Something that people drink, such as water, juice, or coffee. 3．What is the main feature of tea ceremonies in China? A．Simple and casual. B．Complicated and formal. C．Fast-paced and efficient. D．Loud and lively. 4．Why is tea culture still firmly rooted in China? A．Because of its long history. B．Because it is profitable. C．Because it is easy to maintain. D．Because the government promotes it. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．B 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国的茶文化，包括茶叶种植、泡茶技巧、饮茶的社会意义、饮茶仪式以及茶对健康的益处等。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中“The tea- growing areas, with their special climates and lands, produce teas of exceptional quality. From the misty mountains of Fujian to the green landscapes of Yunnan, different areas offer a rich variety of tea types. (茶叶种植区，由于其特殊的气候和土壤，生产出品质卓越的茶叶。从云雾笼罩的福建山脉到绿意盎然的云南，不同的地区提供了种类丰富的茶叶)”可知，中国茶叶种类丰富主要得益于不同地区的气候和土壤。故选C项。 2．词句猜测题。根据画线词的下文“it is a thing that helps social relations. It brings people together, whether in family get-togethers, friendly meetings, or business talks. The act of sharing a cup of tea is a sign of kindness and connection. And the many tea-houses all over the country offer places for people to relax, talk, and enjoy the peace that tea gives. (这是一种有助于社会关系的东西。它把人们聚集在一起，无论是在家庭聚会、友好会议还是商务会谈中。分享一杯茶的行为是一种善意和联系的象征。全国各地的许多茶馆为人们提供了放松、交谈和享受茶所带来的宁静的地方)”可知，此处先说茶不仅是一种beverage，然后介绍茶作为人们饮用的东西起到的社会作用，因此beverage指的应该是“饮品，人们喝的东西”。故选D项。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段中“These ceremonies are complex and formal, showing the grace and elegance of Chinese traditions. (这些仪式复杂而正式，显示了中国传统的优雅和优雅)”可知，中国饮茶仪式的主要特点是复杂和正式。故选B项。 4．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“As China keeps moving forward and modernizing, its tea culture is still strongly fixed, a proof of its historical and cultural importance. (随着中国的不断发展和现代化，其茶文化仍然牢固地固定下来，这证明了其历史和文化的重要性)”可知，茶文化由于其悠久的历史在中国仍然根深蒂固。故选A项。 Passage6. “It’s not unusual for guests to feel emotional when they discover the story behind our food,” says Patrick Navis. “Not to mention when they taste it. One even cried with happiness.” The setting for these tearful scenes? Navis’s restaurant in a Dutch city. Here, the owner and his team create experimental food using herbs, roots, flowers and nuts— some common, others less so. Most of these ingredients come from the Ketelbroek Food Forest nearby. To the untrained eye, it’s like an ordinary wood. But there’s one key difference: everything in it is edible (可食用的). It was set up in 2009 by Dutch botanist and environmentalist Noah Eck as an experiment in slow farming, to see what would happen if the right combination of food plants were left to grow together like a natural forest, without chemicals. “It’s the first ‘food forest’ of its kind in Europe and we’re one of the few restaurants around the world cooperating in this way,” says Navis. “We have over 400 different species of edible plants we plan our menus around, including some we previously knew little about.” He harvests the ingredients and, with his fellow chefs, works them into beautifully presented tasting menus, served in a dining room hidden in the backstreets of the city, “To us, fine dining is not about the fame of a restaurant, its location, expensive decoration, fancy cooking and wine list,” says Navis. “It’s about adding value through creativity and using ingredients nobody knows of, which are grown with great attention.” However, he adds, luxury cooking can be about enhancing everyday ingredients, too. “When looking at cooking in this way, who can argue that caviar (鱼子酱), for example, is more valuable than a carrot grown with specialist knowledge?” Experimentation is extremely important to Navis. In the next five years, he hopes to open an outdoor restaurant. But for now, the most important thing is to continue focusing on how plants are being grown and the perennial system used in the Food Forest, reducing the need for replanting each season. 1．What can we learn about Navis’s restaurant? A．It is known for its rare food sources. B．It serves food with moving stories. C．It offers experimental food for free. D．It is well received by its guests. 2．How is Ketelbrock Food Forest different from ordinary woods? A．It is a natural forest. B．Diverse plants coexist in it. C．It provides safe food ingredients. D．Plants there take longer to grow. 3．What is the key element of fine dining according to Navis? A．Convenient locations. B．Expensive ingredients. C．Innovative menus. D．Fancy cooking techniques. 4．What does “the perennial system” in the last paragraph probably refer to? A．Farming with proper use of chemicals. B．The sustainable farming practice. C．Natural farming without human intervention. D．An experimental farm for an outdoor restaurant. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．C 4．B 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。它介绍了荷兰一家独特的餐厅，该餐厅以“利用食物森林”中的食材进行创新烹饪为特色，展示了慢农业、可持续饮食以及美食创新的理念。 1．推理判断题。根据文章第一段 ““It’s not unusual for guests to feel emotional when they discover the story behind our food,” says Patrick Navis. “Not to mention when they taste it. One even cried with happiness.””（“当客人发现我们食物背后的故事时，他们感到情绪激动是很常见的 ”，帕特里克·纳维斯说。“更别提当他们品尝食物的时候了。甚至有人高兴地哭了。”）可推断，Navis的餐馆受到客人的欢迎。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第二段 “To the untrained eye, it’s like an ordinary wood. But there’s one key difference: everything in it is edible. ”（对于外行来说，它看起来像一片普通的树林。但有一个关键的区别：树林里的一切都是可食用的。）可知，Ketelbrock食品森林与普通森林不同之处在于，该森林提供安全的食材。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据文章第四段““ To us, fine dining is not about the fame of a restaurant, its location, expensive decoration, fancy cooking and wine list,” says Navis. “ It’s about adding value through creativity and using ingredients nobody knows of, which are grown with great attention.” ” （纳维斯说：“对我们来说，美食不仅仅关乎餐厅的名声、位置、昂贵的装饰、精致的烹饪和酒单。”“而是通过创意为食物增加价值，使用那些鲜为人知且精心培育的食材。”）可知，对于Navis来说，优质餐饮的关键在于创新的菜单。故选C。 4．词句猜测题。根据划线部分前文“But for now, the most important thing is to continue focusing on how plants are being grown ”（但目前最重要的是，我们仍需继续关注植物是如何生长的。）以及后文“reducing the need for replanting each season ”（减少每个季节重新种植的需要）可知，Navis认为重要的是可以创造可持续农业，这样就不用每个季节重新种植，划线词与B选项“可持续农业实践”语意一致。故选B。 二、完形填空 Passage1. During the early months of 2012, I had major heart surgery (外科手术). And it changed my 1 forever. I spent the next several months walking in and around the Prince Albert area to rebuild my inner strength, and it was during this time that I 2 my love for nature and the outdoors. As the year went on, I 3 to see more of the beautiful northern forest, so I branched out and 4 travelling to Prince Albert National Park a couple of times a week. During these 5 , I have had several amazing wildlife encounters (邂逅). Later that year, I picked up my first camera. I soon fell in love with 6 and I could hardly bear to put my camera down.

There once was an ordinary street in the suburbs where no one cared much for their gardens. The lawns were overgrown, the weeds were taking over and the hedges(树篱) 1 needed to be cut back.

It seemed too hard to clear all the gardens and no one could be 3 to make them better because everyone’s garden was equally 4 . No one felt it was urgent to change anything. Then a gardener named Bill 5 in the small town. Bill was a 6 , hard-working and patient man who started working in the garden as soon as he moved in the street. He took his lawn mower(割草机) out to cut back the grass and pulled out all of the 7 . Finally, he took up his gardening and started 8 his hedges, making them look like flowers, plants, stones, balls, etc. It was a huge project but his hard work 9 and his garden looked inviting. 10 by the beautiful scenery, the neighbors walked by and admired the 11 manicured(修整的) garden. Before long, something 12 happened. One by one, the neighbors started to put in more effort in their own gardens and the sounds of lawn mowers could be heard again. After a few months, the street was transformed from a dirty, 13 collection of houses to a beautiful street that wouldn’t be out of place in a stylish magazine. One person’s action showed everyone what could be achieved with a little hard work. It’s easy for us to 14 the environment around us because no one else cares about it.

However, I soon discover 4 much has changed since the days of disturbing reports of 5 among tons of rubbish. I find a 6 mountain, with toilets at camps and along the paths. The environmental challenges are 7 but the efforts made by the Tanzania National Park Authority seem to be paying off. The best of a Kilimanjaro 8 , in my opinion, isn’t reaching the top.
