One thing’s for sure— you won’t want to touch the handiwork on display! Invented by Joseph Glidden in 1874, this type of wire fencing quickly turned into a multi- million- dollar industry. Where farmers once let their animals wander freely across the prairies (草地), this wire now enabled land to be sectioned— and that in turn, changed the face of the“ Wild West”! Opened in 1971, the museum displays over 2,000 varieties of barbed wire, as well as tools and equipment used in fencing. Who would come here? The thousands of barbed wire fans across the world, it seems! The Salt and Pepper Shaker Museum Opened in 2001, the owners of this small museum in Tennessee, USA are serious collectors! Their museum houses over 20,000 different salt and pepper shakers, some of which date back thousands of years! With shakers shaped as astronauts chickens, monks, letters and cute puppies, you will be amazed at the enormous variety on show! And while you look through their packed shelves, you also get to learn the rather interesting history behind salt and pepper. One salt shaker the Ludden family don’t have in their museum is the Cellini Salt Cellar. This was presented to Francis I, King of France, in 1543 and was made from pure gold and it’s worth an amazing €50 million! 1. When was barbed wire fencing invented? A. In 1874. B. In 1971. C. In 2001. D. In 1543. 2. What can we do in the Salt and Pepper Shaker Museum? A. Take photos with astronauts. B. Use different kinds of shakers. C. Learn history about salt and pepper. D. Admire a shaker once used by Francis I. 3. What do the two museums have in common? A. They show something famous. B. They show something unusual. C. They show something popular. D. They show something helpful. 【答案】1. A 2. C 3. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了两个特殊的博物馆——带刺铁丝网博物馆和盐和胡椒瓶博物馆。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Invented by Joseph Glidden in 1874, this type of wire fencing quickly turned into a multi- million- dollar industry.(由约瑟夫·格利登于1874年发明，这种类型的铁丝围栏很快变成了一个价值数百万美元的产业)”可知，铁丝网围栏发明于 1874年。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“And while you look through their packed shelves, you also get to learn the rather interesting history behind salt and pepper.(当你浏览它们的货架时，你也会了解到盐和胡椒背后相当有趣的历史)”可知，我们可以在这家博物馆中了解盐和胡椒的历史。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Is this the strangest museum of all? One thing’s for sure— you won’t want to touch the handiwork on display!(这是最奇怪的博物馆吗？有一件事是肯定的——你不会想碰这些展出的手工作品的！)”以及倒数第三段“Their museum houses over 20,000 different salt and pepper shakers, some of which date back thousands of years!(他们的博物馆收藏了超过20,000个不同的盐和胡椒瓶，其中一些可以追溯到几千年前！)”可知，文中介绍的两个博物馆都很不一般。故选B。 B In Saskatchewan, Canada, vegetables have a short growing season. So a very unique farm in Hudson Bay is growing fresh, pesticide-free(无农药的)vegetables in a hydroponic(水培的)farm all year long. There the plants are grown in water instead of soil. Growing vegetables in the middle of nowhere, about 300 kilometres northeast of Saskatoon, may seem like a big risk, but there is no other place for people to get locally grown food. Produce is available in local supermarkets but it is trucked in from far away. The idea to turn the no longer used Stewart Hawke school into a farm came to the Nels when Hudson Bay asked for bids (投标)for the building in 2018. It was empty and if an alternative use wasn’t found, it would be pulled down. “We started looking for ideas, and we went and proposed doing this, ”Jan Nel said. “And they loved it. ” After the proposal was accepted, the family worked together to prepare the building in January 2019 and they planted the first seeds in just one classroom the next month. The company has grown and is now using several rooms thanks to the quality of the produce and the fact that it is local, according to June Nel. “It’s not two weeks old;it hasn’t travelled across the country or across the world, ”she said. “It actually tastes like lettuce. Lots of people have commented on our herbs. It actually still tastes fresh when you get it, and there’s no pesticide used. ” She expects more producers to turn to hydroponics in the future but notes that the technology is limited to only some fruits and vegetables and doesn’t work for potatoes or grains. “It’s not the answer to the food security question or challenge, but it will play an increasingly larger role, ”she adds. 4. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs? A. Vegetables are plentiful in Saskatchewan. B. People in Saskatchewan can’t get fresh vegetables. C. Hydroponic farms are very popular in Saskatchewan. D. The climate in Saskatchewan is not good for farming. 5. What did the farm use to be? A. A supermarket. B. A school. C. A garden. D. A factory. 6. What is the biggest advantage of the Nels’vegetables? A. They are cheap. B. They are fresh. C. They are nutritive. D. They are delicious. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. A New Way Helps Deal with Food Security B. A Family Devote to Improving People’s Life C. A Used School Turns into a Hydroponic Farm D. An Innovative Practice Boosts the Future of Farming 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了加拿大的Nels一家将一个废弃的学校改造为水培农场的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“In Saskatchewan, Canada, vegetables have a short growing season.(在加拿大的萨斯喀彻温省，蔬菜的生长季节很短)”可知，Saskatchewan的气候不太适合农业种植。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The idea to turn the no longer used Stewart Hawke school into a farm came to the Nels when Hudson Bay asked for bids (投标)for the building in 2018.(2018年，当哈德逊湾对这栋建筑进行招标时，尼尔斯家族萌生了将不再使用的斯图尔特·霍克学校改造成农场的想法)”可知，这个水培农场过去是一个学校。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“Produce is available in local supermarkets but it is trucked in from far away.(农产品在当地超市就能买到，但都是从很远的地方用卡车运来的)”和第五段最后一句中“It actually still tastes fresh when you get it, and there’s no pesticide used.(当你拿到它的时候，它尝起来仍然很新鲜，而且没有使用农药)”可知，最大优势是蔬菜很新鲜。故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“The idea to turn the no longer used Stewart Hawke school into a farm came to the Nels when Hudson Bay asked for bids (投标)for the building in 2018.(2018年，当哈德逊湾对这栋建筑进行招标时，尼尔斯家族萌生了将不再使用的斯图尔特·霍克学校改造成农场的想法)”结合文章主要讲述了加拿大的Nels一家将一个废弃的学校改造为一个水培农场的故事。因此选项C“一个旧学校变成了一个水培农场”为本文最佳标题。故选C。 C We know that spending lots of time sitting down isn’t good for us, but just how much exercise is needed to match the negative health effects of sitting down all day? Research suggests about 30—40 minutes per day of building up a sweat should do it. Up to 40 minutes of“moderate(温和的)to vigorous(有力的)intensity physical activity” every day is about the right amount to balance out 10 hours of sitting still, the research says—although any amount of exercise or even just standing up helps to some extent. That’s based on a study published in 2020 analyzing nine previous studies, involving a total of 44, 370 people in four different countries who were wearing some form of fitness tracker. The analysis found the risk of death among those with a more sedentary(久坐的)lifestyle went up as time spent engaging in moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity went down. In other words, putting in some reasonably intensive activities—cycling, brisk walking, gardening—can lower your risk of an earlier death. While analyses like this one always require some detailed dot-joining across separate studies with different volunteers, timescales and conditions, the benefit of this particular piece of research is that it relied on relatively objective data from wearables—not data self-reported by the participants. The research based on fitness trackers is broadly in line with the 2020 WHO guidelines, which recommend 150—300 mins of moderate intensity or 75—150 mins of vigorous intensity physical activity every week to balance out sedentary behaviour. Walking up the stairs instead of taking the lift, playing with children and pets, taking part in yoga or dancing, doing household chores, walking, and cycling are all put forward as ways in which people can be more active—and if you can’t manage the 30—40 minutes right away, the researchers say, start off small. 8. How does the author start the text? A. By telling stories. B. By listing numbers. C. By giving examples. D. By raising questions. 9. What did the research find? A. The longer you sit still, the earlier you will die. B. The more you exercise, the healthier you will be. C. Productivity can be improved through physical activities. D. Proper intensive activities help reduce the risk of earlier death. 10. Why is the research reliable? A. It’s based on previous studies. B. Its data is relatively objective. C. It’s carried out in different countries. D. Its data is from the participants’reports. 11. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To analyze the risk of sitting still. B. To recommend a healthy lifestyle. C. To inspire people to do more exercise. D. To show benefits of physical activities. 【答案】8. D 9. D 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了我们应该需要多少锻炼来抵消我们久坐所造成的负面影响，从而鼓励人们多参加锻炼。 【8题详解】 推理判断题，根据第一段第一句“We know that spending lots of time sitting down isn’t good for us but just how much exercise is needed to match the negative health effects of sitting down all day?”（我们知道花很多时间坐着对我们没有好处，但我们知道需要多少运动才能应对整天坐着对健康的负面影响）可知，本文以设问的方式开篇。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“In other words, putting in some reasonably intensive activities—cycling, brisk walking, gardening—can lower your risk of an earlier death.”（换句话说，进行一些强度合理的活动——骑自行车、快走、园艺——可以降低你过早死亡的风险。）可知，这个研究发现恰当的高强度活动有助于减少早亡的风险。故选D项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题，根据第四段中“the benefit of this particular piece of research is that it relied on relatively objective data from wearables—not data self-reported by the participants”（这项研究的好处是，它依赖于可穿戴设备的相对客观的数据，而不是参与者自我报告的数据）可知，这个调查可信是因为它的数据相对来说更客观。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题，根据文章最后一段“Walking up the stairs instead of taking the lift，playing with children and pets，taking part in yoga or dancing, doing household chores, walking, and cycling are all put forward as ways in which people can be more active—and if you can’t manage the 30—40 minutes right away, the researchers say, start off small.”（研究人员表示，走楼梯而不是乘电梯、与儿童和宠物玩耍、参加瑜伽或舞蹈、做家务、散步和骑自行车都是人们更活跃的方式——如果你不能马上完成30-40分钟，那就从小处着手。）可知，本文的主要目的是通过介绍我们应该需要多少锻炼来抵消我们久坐所造成的负面影响来鼓励我们多参加锻炼。故选C项。 D Plastic pollution has become an unfortunate fact of life all over the world—including in the oceans. While all that junk floating around can pose a serious threat to many animals, a new study finds some species may have actually turned it into an entirely new ecosystem! The North Pacific“Garbage Patch”is a huge area in the ocean where a lot of plastic waste gets stuck. However, it’s not just wastes that get caught up in this mess. Researchers from Georgetown University found that many sea creatures like jellyfish, snails, and barnacles also live there. In 2018 and 2019, scientists collected 105 pieces of plastic from the patch, and found 46 different species of invertebrates(无脊椎动物)living on them. About 80％of those species normally live near the coast rather than in the middle of an ocean. The researchers also found that these species have been breeding on the patch—meaning there may now be a permanent community of coastal species in the middle of the ocean. Lead author Linsey Haram said that it’s not yet known how this will affect the ocean ecosystem. But she said the coastal species are likely competing for food with ocean species, and they may also be eating each other. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is one of the five areas of garbage that have formed in the middle of huge circular ocean currents called gyres(环流). Another garbage patch is in the South Pacific, two are in the Atlantic Ocean, and the fifth is in the Indian Ocean. A 2018 study of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch found that about one-third of garbage that could be linked to Japan. Up to 20％of garbage added since 2011 was created by the huge tsunami that hit northern Japan that year, the study said. 12. What makes the plastic waste get stuck in the garbage patch? A. Climate change. B. Human activities. C. Sea creatures living there. D. Huge circular ocean currents. 13. What does the underlined word“breeding”in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Reproducing. B. Restoring. C. Revising. D. Refreshing. 14. Why does the author mention Japan in the last paragraph? A. To blame Japan for polluting the ocean. B. To indicate one of the sources of the garbage. C. To stress the responsibility of some countries. D. To suggest clues that help with the plastic pollution. 15. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear? A. Education. B. Economy. C. Environment. D. Entertainment. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在塑料污染的影响下，海洋中形成了新的生态系统。 【详解】1.细节理解题。根据第二段首句“The North Pacific ‘Garbage Patch’ is a huge area in the ocean where a lot of plastic waste gets stuck.(北太平洋“垃圾带”是海洋中一个巨大区域，大量塑料垃圾被困在这里。)”以及第五段首句“The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is one of the five areas of garbage that have formed in the middle of huge circular ocean currents called gyres.(大太平洋垃圾带是在被称为大洋环流的巨大环流中间形成的五个垃圾区之一。)”可知，塑料垃圾卡在垃圾堆里是由巨大的环形洋流造成的。故选D。 2. 词句猜测题。联系下文“there may now be a permanent community of coastal species in the middle of the ocean(现在海洋中央可能有一个永久的沿海物种群落。)”可知，此处指“这些物种在这里生息繁衍。”可知A选项Reproducing(繁殖)符合题意。故选A。 3. 推理判断题。阅读文章最后一段“A 2018 study of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch found that about one-third of garbage that could be linked to Japan. Up to 20％of garbage added since 2011 was created by the huge tsunami that hit northern Japan that year，the study said.(2018年对大太平洋垃圾带的一项研究发现，大约三分之一的垃圾可能与日本有关。研究称，自2011年以来，多达20%的垃圾是由当年袭击日本北部的巨大海啸造成的。)”可知，文章作者只是客观地描述了部分垃圾来源与发生在日本的海啸有关。故选B。 4. 推理判断题。根据第一段“Plastic pollution has become an unfortunate fact of life all over the world—including in the oceans. While all that junk floating around can pose a serious threat to many animals, a new study finds some species may have actually turned it into an entirely new ecosystem!(塑料污染已经成为全世界生活中的一个不幸事实，包括在海洋中。虽然所有漂浮在周围的垃圾都会对许多动物构成严重威胁，但一项新的研究发现，一些物种实际上可能已经将其变成了一个全新的生态系统！)”并且阅读全文可知，文章主要介绍了在塑料污染的影响下，海洋中形成了新的生态系统。因此本文应该来自一份报纸的环境板块。故选C。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短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。 How to Teach Time Management Skills to Teens Teens usually have fairly structured schedules.

(因此，他们中的许多人没有学会如何在休息时间明智地管理他们的时间)”指出很多孩子不会管理自己的时间，后文段落给出具体的教孩子管理时间的方法，因此F项“Here are some steps you can take to teach your teen (这里有一些教你孩子的步骤)”承接前文，引出后文的方法，符合语境。故选F。 【17题详解】 前文“Teach him to schedule his day so he can set aside time for chores (琐事), homework, and other responsibilities. (教他安排好自己的一天，这样他就能留出时间做家务、做作业和其他责任)”提出教孩子安排好去做必做之事的时间，后文“so time doesn’t idly pass without feeling like he hasn’t done anything fun (所以他不会觉得自己没有做过任何有趣的事情)”谈到做好某件事后的良好结果，因此D项“Encourage him to schedule free time as well (也鼓励他安排空闲时间)”提出让孩子安排好空闲时间，和前文是递进关系，引出后文的良好结果，符合语境，其中的free time和后文的fun呼应。故选D。 【18题详解】 空处位于段首，是段落主旨句，需统领段落内容，且需和其他段首句一样使用祈使句的形式。后文“Whether it’s a planner that your teen writes everything in or an app that manages your teen’s schedule, help your teen find the tools that will work best for him.

(无论是一个你的孩子写所有事情的计划表，还是一个管理你的孩子日程安排的应用程序，帮助你的孩子找到最适合他的工具。谈谈制定时间表和使用清单来明智地管理时间的重要性)”主要和安排时间的工具相关，因此B项“Give your teen time management tools (给你的孩子时间管理工具)”符合语境，契合后文内容，其中的tools在后文有同词复现。故选B。 【19题详解】 前文“Help him to set goals. (帮助他设定目标)”表明本段和设定目标相关，后文“Then, help him identify how much time he’ll need to work on that goal each day. (然后，帮助他确定他每天需要花多少时间来实现这个目标)”提到第二步是确定具体的时间，因此G项“Talk to your teen about the personal goals he wants to reach (和你的孩子谈谈他想达到的个人目标)”符合语境，建议先讨论目标，可作为第一步，承前启后，其中的goals在前后文有同词复现。故选G。 【20题详解】 前文“It’s common for teens to have conflicts in their schedules. A basketball game, birthday party, and church activity may all coincide (同时发生). (青少年在日程安排上有冲突是很常见的。篮球比赛、生日聚会和教堂活动可能同时进行)”指出青少年常会面临安排有冲突的情况，后文“based on his values and commitments (基于他的价值观和承诺)”提到价值观和承诺，因此E项“Talk to your teen about how to prioritize activities (和你的孩子谈谈如何优先安排活动)”符合语境，指出需谈谈优先安排活动的方法，承前启后，后文是对选项内容的补充。故选E。 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。 Zora woke up early on Saturday morning, ____21____ for her long-awaited trip to the mall with her friends.

Unlike other teachers who hand out page upon page of textbook questions, Mr. Hussey seems to prefer having the students learn science through a more hands-on, do-it-yourself approach. “Today, ”said Mr. Hussey, “everyone will be making an icebox!”As we sat in awe, trying to imagine what kind of device he was referring to, Mr. Hussey handed out the project instructions. In groups of two, we would design a storage (贮藏) device that was capable of keeping its contents at a constant temperature for a certain period of time, regardless of the outside temperature. The competition was quite straightforward：every contestant would receive a cube (立方体) of ice. The team that had the biggest piece left the next day would win! As always, I partnered with my best friend, Vlad. That afternoon we went straight to the library. After an intense discussion, we agreed on the basic idea of having the ice cube inside a box, which would be put inside another bigger box. Between the two boxes would be the heat insulator (绝缘体). The first test of the icebox was extremely disappointing. Since this was our first experiment, we both wanted good results to build our confidence. Before I went to bed that night, I carefully picked out a huge block of ice from our refrigerator and placed it inside the icebox. When I woke up the next morning and looked into the icebox, there wasn’t even a bit of ice left. Reflecting on this failure, we were determined to find a better insulating material. Then we tried the same experiment again. This time, we made it. There was 70 percent of the ice left. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The day of the competition came very fast. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, everybody rushed towards these works of art. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: The day of the competition came very fast. We all brought our masterpieces into the classroom. Every team had a different design-from boxes made of different materials to boxes that operated in different ways. One fellow even attached a motor to his icebox and turned it into a refrigerator. Before we left school, Mr. Hussey gave each group an ice tube of the same size. We put them in the iceboxes that were placed side by side on the table. Then we left for home, hoping that we would win. The next day, everybody rushed towards these works of art. We all hoped that there would still be some ice left. Some kids searched and searched, and were even about to tear their iceboxes apart, but couldn’t find anything. Luckily, it turned out that we didn’t do too badly. Having almost 60 percent of the ice cube still remaining, we had an above-average result! The winner of the competition, however, was the guy who made a motorized refrigerator. When we opened his icebox, he had a piece of ice that was 140 percent the size of the original! His innovative design was definitely a cut above the rest. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了科学老师总是喜欢给10年级的科学班布置有挑战性的作业，这天老师要求他们制作一个冰箱，并且进行比赛，比赛很简单：每个参赛者都会得到一块冰块。第二天剩下最大一块的队伍将获胜。于是作者和朋友Vlad搭档，经过不断尝试，他们的比赛结果高于平均水平，比赛的获胜者是制造了电动冰箱的人。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“比赛的日子来得很快”可知，第一段可描写同学们进行比赛的场面和心情。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天，每个人都冲向这些艺术品”可知，第二段可描写同学们第二天去查看冰的情况以及作者他们所取得的比赛结果。 2.续写线索：比赛来临——不同的设计参赛——开始比赛——第二天查看结果——高于平均水平——获胜者创新设计出类拔萃 3.词汇激活 行为类 急忙：rush towards/rush to 希望：hope/wish 找到：find /discover 情绪类 创新：innovative /creative 出类拔萃：a cut above the rest /brilliant 【点睛】[高分句型1] Before we left school, Mr. Hussey gave each group an ice tube of the same size.

One thing’s for sure— you won’t want to touch the handiwork on display! Invented by Joseph Glidden in 1874, this type of wire fencing quickly turned into a multi- million- dollar industry. Where farmers once let their animals wander freely across the prairies (草地), this wire now enabled land to be sectioned— and that in turn, changed the face of the“ Wild West”! Opened in 1971, the museum displays over 2,000 varieties of barbed wire, as well as tools and equipment used in fencing. Who would come here? The thousands of barbed wire fans across the world, it seems! The Salt and Pepper Shaker Museum Opened in 2001, the owners of this small museum in Tennessee, USA are serious collectors! Their museum houses over 20,000 different salt and pepper shakers, some of which date back thousands of years! With shakers shaped as astronauts, chickens, monks, letters and cute puppies, you will be amazed at the enormous variety on show! And while you look through their packed shelves, you also get to learn the rather interesting history behind salt and pepper. One salt shaker the Ludden family don’t have in their museum is the Cellini Salt Cellar. This was presented to Francis I, King of France, in 1543 and was made from pure gold and it’s worth an amazing €50 million! 1. When was barbed wire fencing invented? A. In 1874. B. In 1971. C. In 2001. D. In 1543. 2. What can we do in the Salt and Pepper Shaker Museum? A. Take photos with astronauts. B. Use different kinds of shakers. C. Learn history about salt and pepper. D. Admire a shaker once used by Francis I. 3. What do the two museums have in common? A. They show something famous. B. They show something unusual. C. They show something popular. D. They show something helpful. B In Saskatchewan, Canada, vegetables have a short growing season. So a very unique farm in Hudson Bay is growing fresh, pesticide-free(无农药的)vegetables in a hydroponic(水培的)farm all year long. There the plants are grown in water instead of soil. Growing vegetables in the middle of nowhere, about 300 kilometres northeast of Saskatoon, may seem like a big risk, but there is no other place for people to get locally grown food. Produce is available in local supermarkets but it is trucked in from far away. The idea to turn the no longer used Stewart Hawke school into a farm came to the Nels when Hudson Bay asked for bids (投标)for the building in 2018. It was empty and if an alternative use wasn’t found, it would be pulled down. “We started looking for ideas, and we went and proposed doing this, ”Jan Nel said. “And they loved it. ” After the proposal was accepted, the family worked together to prepare the building in January 2019 and they planted the first seeds in just one classroom the next month. The company has grown and is now using several rooms thanks to the quality of the produce and the fact that it is local, according to June Nel. “It’s not two weeks old;it hasn’t travelled across the country or across the world, ”she said. “It actually tastes like lettuce. Lots of people have commented on our herbs. It actually still tastes fresh when you get it, and there’s no pesticide used. ” She expects more producers to turn to hydroponics in the future but notes that the technology is limited to only some fruits and vegetables and doesn’t work for potatoes or grains. “It’s not the answer to the food security question or challenge, but it will play an increasingly larger role, ”she adds. 4. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs? A. Vegetables are plentiful in Saskatchewan. B. People in Saskatchewan can’t get fresh vegetables. C. Hydroponic farms are very popular in Saskatchewan. D. The climate in Saskatchewan is not good for farming. 5. What did the farm use to be? A. A supermarket. B. A school. C. A garden. D. A factory. 6. What is the biggest advantage of the Nels’vegetables? A. They are cheap. B. They are fresh. C. They are nutritive. D. They are delicious. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. A New Way Helps Deal with Food Security B. A Family Devote to Improving People’s Life C. A Used School Turns into a Hydroponic Farm D. An Innovative Practice Boosts the Future of Farming C We know that spending lots of time sitting down isn’t good for us, but just how much exercise is needed to match the negative health effects of sitting down all day? Research suggests about 30—40 minutes per day of building up a sweat should do it. Up to 40 minutes of“moderate(温和的)to vigorous(有力的)intensity physical activity” every day is about the right amount to balance out 10 hours of sitting still, the research says—although any amount of exercise or even just standing up helps to some extent. That’s based on a study published in 2020 analyzing nine previous studies, involving a total of 44, 370 people in four different countries who were wearing some form of fitness tracker. The analysis found the risk of death among those with a more sedentary(久坐的)lifestyle went up as time spent engaging in moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity went down. In other words, putting in some reasonably intensive activities—cycling, brisk walking, gardening—can lower your risk of an earlier death. While analyses like this one always require some detailed dot-joining across separate studies with different volunteers, timescales and conditions, the benefit of this particular piece of research is that it relied on relatively objective data from wearables—not data self-reported by the participants. The research based on fitness trackers is broadly in line with the 2020 WHO guidelines, which recommend 150—300 mins of moderate intensity or 75—150 mins of vigorous intensity physical activity every week to balance out sedentary behaviour. Walking up the stairs instead of taking the lift, playing with children and pets, taking part in yoga or dancing, doing household chores, walking, and cycling are all put forward as ways in which people can be more active—and if you can’t manage the 30—40 minutes right away, the researchers say, start off small. 8. How does the author start the text? A. By telling stories. B. By listing numbers. C. By giving examples. D. By raising questions. 9. What did the research find? A. The longer you sit still, the earlier you will die. B. The more you exercise, the healthier you will be. C. Productivity can be improved through physical activities. D. Proper intensive activities help reduce the risk of earlier death. 10. Why is the research reliable? A. It’s based on previous studies. B. Its data is relatively objective. C. It’s carried out in different countries. D. Its data is from the participants’reports. 11. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To analyze the risk of sitting still. B. To recommend a healthy lifestyle. C. To inspire people to do more exercise. D. To show benefits of physical activities. D Plastic pollution has become an unfortunate fact of life all over the world—including in the oceans. While all that junk floating around can pose a serious threat to many animals, a new study finds some species may have actually turned it into an entirely new ecosystem! The North Pacific“Garbage Patch”is a huge area in the ocean where a lot of plastic waste gets stuck. However, it’s not just wastes that get caught up in this mess. Researchers from Georgetown University found that many sea creatures like jellyfish, snails, and barnacles also live there. In 2018 and 2019, scientists collected 105 pieces of plastic from the patch, and found 46 different species of invertebrates(无脊椎动物)living on them. About 80％of those species normally live near the coast rather than in the middle of an ocean. The researchers also found that these species have been breeding on the patch—meaning there may now be a permanent community of coastal species in the middle of the ocean. Lead author Linsey Haram said that it’s not yet known how this will affect the ocean ecosystem. But she said the coastal species are likely competing for food with ocean species, and they may also be eating each other. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is one of the five areas of garbage that have formed in the middle of huge circular ocean currents called gyres(环流). Another garbage patch is in the South Pacific, two are in the Atlantic Ocean, and the fifth is in the Indian Ocean. A 2018 study of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch found that about one-third of garbage that could be linked to Japan.

Unlike other teachers who hand out page upon page of textbook questions, Mr. Hussey seems to prefer having the students learn science through a more hands-on, do-it-yourself approach. “Today, ”said Mr. Hussey, “everyone will be making an icebox!”As we sat in awe, trying to imagine what kind of device he was referring to, Mr. Hussey handed out the project instructions. In groups of two, we would design a storage (贮藏) device that was capable of keeping its contents at a constant temperature for a certain period of time, regardless of the outside temperature. The competition was quite straightforward：every contestant would receive a cube (立方体) of ice. The team that had the biggest piece left the next day would win! As always, I partnered with my best friend, Vlad. That afternoon we went straight to the library. After an intense discussion, we agreed on the basic idea of having the ice cube inside a box, which would be put inside another bigger box. Between the two boxes would be the heat insulator (绝缘体). The first test of the icebox was extremely disappointing. Since this was our first experiment, we both wanted good results to build our confidence. Before I went to bed that night, I carefully picked out a huge block of ice from our refrigerator and placed it inside the icebox. When I woke up the next morning and looked into the icebox, there wasn’t even a bit of ice left. Reflecting on this failure, we were determined to find a better insulating material. Then we tried the same experiment again. This time, we made it. There was 70 percent of the ice left. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The day of the competition came very fast. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, everybody rushed towards these works of art. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1~5 ACBAB 6~10 BCACC 11~15 ACCCA 16~20 CBBCB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
