Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分,共10分)
(2024·重庆八中高二期末)
Plastic is under attack these days for the environmental problems it causes.But sustainabilityminded shoppers might not be aware that many organic farmers—like their traditional farming neighbors—also rely on plastic.It's spread over the ground as a form of mulch (覆盖物) to control weeds,conserve water and aid plant growth.
The flat plastic prevents sunlight from hitting the ground and encouraging weed growth.In addition to weed control,plastic works well with drip irrigation (滴灌),a system that conserves water by delivering it directly to plant roots.And the plastic also control soil temperature in ways that increase harvest for farmers.Heatloving crops—like tomatoes,peppers and eggplants—will mature weeks earlier on plastic versus bare ground.
Yet there is the disturbing problem of waste.At the end of the season,the vast majority of the plastic is lifted from the ground and then taken to landfills,meaning a major cost and labor challenge for farmers.
That's why so many farmers want an alternative.Although natural mulches like straw (稻草) and paper that break down in the soil do exist,they are too costly or for many farmers.But if a plastic mulch could slowly degrade (降解) over the course of the season,disappearing into the field and reducing waste,it would be a dream solution.
Right now,however,no such solution exists for organic farms,because the biodegradable plastic mulches on the market all contain petroleumbased materials.According to the law,any biodegradable mulch could only be used if it was 100 percent “biobased”—that is,made entirely from plant materials.Hopefully,a company would bring a biobased mulch to market—one that acts like plastic but doesn't contain any petroleumbased materials and so would be approved for use in organic farming.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了农业依赖塑料,但塑料也有它的弊端,可降解的生物塑料覆盖物给有机农业带来解决方案。但目前市面上可降解塑料都含有基于石油的成分,不能满足有机农业要求。

A.Plastic causes no environmental problems.
B.Plastic bags are still used by many shoppers.
C.Plastic is spread over plants to control weeds.

A.It allows sunlight to hit the ground.
B.It helps some plants to mature earlier.
C.It does harm to heatloving crops.
D.It protects plant roots from getting damaged.
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中“Heatloving crops ...on plastic versus bare ground.”可知,农业中使用的塑料有助于一些植物提前成熟。故选B项。
3.Why do many farmers want an alternative mulch?
A.Because plastic mulch breaks down easily.
B.Because plastic mulch ends up as waste.
C.Because they prefer natural mulches.
D.Because they have less space for landfills.
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Yet there is the disturbing problem...and labor challenge for farmers.”可知,许多农民想要一种替代覆盖物,因为塑料覆盖物最终会变成废物。故选B项。
4.What can we learn about the biodegradable mulches on the market?
A.They are made entirely from plant materials.
B.They contain no petroleumbased materials.
C.They are not 100 percent “biobased”.

语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国为回收塑料垃圾做出的努力。
1.答案:in
解析:考查介词。result in意为“导致”,为固定短语,故填in。
2.答案:to recycle
解析:考查非谓语动词。空处用动词不定式作后置定语,修饰抽象名词efforts,故填to recycle。
3.答案:significantly
解析:考查词性转换。空处修饰动词contributed,应用副词形式,故填significantly。
4.答案:being generated
解析:考查非谓语动词。prevent...from doing sth意为“阻止……做某事”,空处应填动词ing形式作宾语,且动词generate和waste之间是被动关系,故用动词ing形式的被动式,故填being generated。
5.答案:has established
