Years after he first offered to take care of other people's lawns for free, he now leads an international movement of young people helping their communities by mowing people's lawns. Launched in 2o16, Raising Men &. Women Lawn Care Service (RMWLCS) offers free lawn mowing services for people in need. The project has not only inspired Smith to trave around the country offering his free services, but it has also called on kids and teens to join him in helping their neighbors Hoping to inspire kids from around the country, Rodney created the "5o Yard Challenge". Those hoping to take on the mission have to submit a picture holding a sign that reads,"I accept the 5o Yard Challenge." In return, RMwLCS will send them a white T- shirt with the organization's logo. For every 1o lawns cut, they will get a new color shirt, signaling their achievement-once they mow 10 lawns, they get an orange shirt, 20 a green. 30 a blue, 40 a red. The desirable black shirt is given to those who have completed the ultimate task of mowing 5o lawns. But that's not the only reward. Those who complete the challenge are given a brand new mower and a blower to keep their mission going or start their own mowing business. The organization reports there are 4,588 kids mowing and over 25,ooo lawns have been mowed for free. On top of having presence in all 5o states, the organization has reached communities in Australia, Canada, and Germany. According to the math,if all the participants complete the challenge, the total number of lawns mowed would be 229,400 Smith has already inspired thousands, but he continues to travel the country, empowering local kids and helping those in need. 24. Why did Smith found RMwLCS? A. To teach the youth lawns mowing skills B. To offer those in need free health care. C. To help the needy with lawn mowing. D. To support his neighbors financially. 高二英语试题 第5页(共12页) C$ 扫描全能王 3亿人郡在用目g 25, What are kids required to do before starting the challenge? A. Buy a white T-shirt. B. Post a specific photo. C.

RMwLCS has made a great difference C Growing crops in piling rows indoors under controllable artificial lights can produce more food per square foot while using less land and water than traditional outdoor farms. But this vertical farrning technique is also energy intensive and expensive. Researchers are now finding that adjusting light to cater to the unique requirements of each crop can promote stronger, healthier growth and simultaneously cut down on energy use. Researchers have developed a computer program that can control lighting to better both photosynthesis(光合作用) and electric bills. The computer program adjusts the intensity of grow lights hourly based on the changing cost of electricity. This "smart lighting" could potentially cut vertical farms' electricity costs by up to 12 percent, says Leo Marcelis, leader of the research team. Such savings could lead to tens of thousands of dollars in annual cost reductions, backed by data from the 2o2l Global CEA Census Report-a survey of the indoor and controlled environment agriculture industry. But how might indoor crops grow well under dynamic lighting? Marcelis and his colleagues tested how leafy greens reacted to light patterns that changed hourly. Plants were exposed to varying light intensities: one group of plants grew under high-then-low intensity lighting intervals(间隔), while another enjoyed brighter mornings and dimmer afternoons Interestingly, both conditions resulted in leaves and mature weights similar to those grown under standard fixed lighting. While the new program operated without predetermined lighting conditions, Marcelis 高二英语试题:第6页 (共12页) CS 扫描全能王 5亿人郡在用日画A indicates there is potential for reducing electricity costs. Continued research that tests dynamic lighting on larger scales is needed, as the research was carried out at the single plant level, but not yet at the whole crop stand level, mentioned Marcelis. He also cautions against expecting immediate benefits from dynamic lighting for vertical farming. Other critical issues remain to be resolved before vertical farming can help feed the world 28. What is a disadvantage of vertical farming? A. Cost-effective. B. Labor-intensive C. Energy-consuming. D. Technically-challenging 29. What influences the adjustments of grow light intensity? A. Variations in power costs. B. Growth stages of the crops. C. Outdoor lighting conditions D. Changing electricity supplies. 30. What did researchers find about indoor crops? A. They grow better under fixed lighting B. They remain uninfluenced by sunlight. C. They output more under dynamic lighting D. They react similarly to varying light patterns. 31. What may Marcelis agree with? A. There are still some limitations in the research. B. The new program helps save on electricity bills. C. Vertical farming will be a major trend in the future D. Dynamic lighting is a useful way to get rid of hunger D For three days in mid-September, wildfires rapidly tore through parts of Portugal turning the sky a smoky red against the rolling green hills in the north. In central Portugal a big fire destroyed a highway, cutting off the top half of the country from the bottom and nine people were killed. Few people would have realized that some of their everyday products may have played a role in making these fires worse. Certain toilet paper, tissue and office paper brands are made with materials from eucalyptus trees, a non-native species to Portugal. The eucalyptus tree is an ideal tree for commercial cultivation because it's faster-growing, has a larger amount of fiber and produces more pulp(纸浆) than most other species. That means it can be 高二英语试题 第7页(共12页) CS 扫描全能王 3亿人郡在用目g made into high-quality paper and tissue in an efficient and economical way The problem is that eucalyptus trees are particularly flammable. Domingos Patacho, a forest engineer with Quercus, a Portuguese environmental group, said one of the reasons is that their leaves and branches break down very slowly in Portuguese soil, which hasn't adapted to the species, leaving them lying on the forest floor. Wildfires burning eucalyptus spread more quickly and jump more easily to other areas, he said. That's especially dangerous as the planet heats up from nearly two centuries of humans burning fossil fuels a an industrial scale A debate over the role of eucalyptus in wildfires in Portugal is going on, with some studies showing they have little influence in making fires worse. Yet some experts warn these trees-especially their bark, twigs and leaves-burn more easily than other species. Quercus-the scientific name for the oak tree-wants to dial back the spread of eucalyptus trees and encourage more growth of the native oak. But whether planting it or not in the future, environmental protection should be the top priority 32. What is the purpose of writing this text? A. To report a serious wildfire B. To discuss a serious problem. C. To present a research finding D. To introduce a dangerous tree. 33. Why does the author mention toilet paper? A. To argue against people's bad living habits. B. To demonstrate the process of paper-making C. To explain the popularity of eucalyptus trees. D. To prove the research value of eucalyptus trees. 34. What does the underlined word "flammable" in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Well received B. Hard to break down C. Easilyburnt. D. Widely grown. 35. What does the last paragraph focus on? A. Quercus' efforts in saving native plants. B. An appeal for environmental protection. C. A debate over the cause of the wildfires D. People's concern about eucalyptus trees. 高二英语试题 第8页(共12页) C$ 扫描全能王 3亿人郡在用目 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分) 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 Individuals' communication skills play a vital role in promoting effective communication within the workplace. This ensures employees have the information they need to perform well, builds a positive work environment, and improves efficiencies. 36 Work culture and technology can also play into how effective communication is in your workplace. Here are some ways you can improve workplace communication. Communicating effectively with coworkers is key to having a positive experience at work. When interacting with coworkers, you need to pay attention to nonverbal cues. 37 As you're speaking with somebody, be mindful of your coworkers' nonverbal cues; this attentiveness will enhance your communication with them. 38 When you have something to communicate, consider its importance, urgency, and complexity, and pick the right channel accordingly. Have a simple team reminder? A quick group message or email can get the point across. Need to learn or teach somebody how to use a tool? A face-to-face meeting might be the better method It is important to make meetings efficient. Research indicates that only 50 percent of time spent in meetings is considered a good use of time by attendees. 39 You can set an agenda(议程) for each meeting, and send out the agenda and other materials that will be discussed to the team ahead of time. Besides, only invite people who need to be invited Communication skills are called skills for a reason-they can be learned and require practice to master. 4o Improving Communication Skills from the University of Pennsylvania and Teamwork Skills: Communicating Effectively in Groups from the University of Colorado Boulder are good choices. A. Not every issue deserves its own meeting B. Tone and body language can convey a lot that words don't. C. Good news is that there are ways to make meetings effective D. Most of the time, meetings are an effective way of communication. E. Successful employers are characterized by effective communication. F. Workplace communication starts at the individual but doesn't stop there. G. If you're trying to improve your communication skills, consider taking a course. 高二英语试题 第9页 (共12页) CS 扫描全能王 5亿人郡在用日画A 第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分) 第一节(共15小题:每小题1分,满分15分) 阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项.
