Most people in the neighborhood were not eating well."Folks were living in what Icall a food desert.,"Will says."I knew I had to do something,because you can't have a healthy community without healthy food." Will hired some neighborhood teenaers to help him get started.They"grew"ew soil by composting,which means collecting food waste and piling it up until it breaks down and tums into soil.Then they made good natural fertilizer (before starting growing food.Today. Growing Power Community Food Center is growing enough food to feed people inhe neighborhood.In the winter,the compost givesoff enou heat to keep the greenhouses warms it breaks down insoil Goats,chickens,and turkeys live behind the greenhouses.Red-eyed fsh are swimming in aquariums (at the center of the greenhouses.The fish are for eating. but they also help the plants grow.The water they swim in,enriched by the fish droppings,is chaneed toward the pots conining vegetables.Then it is cleaed by other plants,and retued to the fish tank as pure water."We don't waste anything here,"Will says.

Scientists at the University of Valencia in Spain analyzed 26 previous studies,ach exporing the ffect of leisure-time digital reading on comprehension.They found that digital readingdoes improvecomprehension skills,but the beneficial effect of deep reading is between six and seven times smaller than that of print reading,and it's smallest for children. Great exposure to digital reading activities may prevent early readers from building firm reading basics in a critical period.Digital texts tend to be much shorter and have worse linguistie (语言学的)quality compared to printed works.Phones and computers also expose readers to distractions()from social media,You tube,and video games.Because youth tend to have poor impulse (control.they are more likely to be distracted than adults when engaging in digital reading.They also are less likely to have mastered vocabulary and grammar rules. With paper,there is a literal laying on of hands,along with the visual geography of distinct pages.People often link their memory of what they've read to how far into the book it was or where it was on the page.The more kids are exposed to print reading,the better able they are to understand and recall what they are reading.Moreover,as young readers consume longer and more complex texts,their reading skills improve,further boosting their abilities. It is therefore recommended that parents and teachers limit kids'time with digital content, or at least emphasize printed works or using basic e-readers with ink-screens. 28.What does the underlined word"supplanting"in paragraph I mean? A.Changing. B.Replacing. C.Influencing. D.Aiding. 高二英语第5页共12页 29.What does the author focus oin the first two paragraphs? A.The loss of deep reading. C.The appeal of print reading. B.The importance of reading. D.The benefits of digital reading 30.The study finds that print readingcnnce kidsreading abilities because of A.Parents'reading skills. C.Paper's physical properties. B.Social Media's support. 31.What does the author imply in the last paragraph? D.Kids'consumption of easy texts. A.Basic e-readers can be promoted. B.Print reading still has a place nowadays. C.Teachers should limit kids'reading time. D.Parents should emphasize digital reading. D A watched pot never boils,but time flies when you're having fun.These all-too-familiar sayings have a basis in solid scienceour sense of time expands and contracts()depending on the way we experience the world around us.This is not just a general impression of time's passage.It also has a great deal to do with psychology. “There are a lot of illusions(错a觉)of time,.”says Martin Wiener,.ascientist at George Mason University.Recently,his team have found that more memorable images seem to last longer,and these lasting images also appear to be more memorable.Looking at red objects makes time pass slower than staring at blue ones.The slowdown also occurs when inspecting bigger and brighter objects. To understand how the memorability of an image might relate to our sense of time,the team conducted four experiments,in which participants were shown images with different time periods.They were asked to hold down a button,either"short"or"long".to indicate the length of time the image was displayed on the screen.Participants perceived that more memorable images remained on the screen longer and that they were more likely to recall them later. These results suggest that images aren't just more memorable if people look at them for a longer time,a well-established effect.Images are also more memorable if people perceive that they have looked for longer when they really haven't.This suggests that there is some underlying factor that is causing both of these effects. The team later found that more memorable images were processed faster.They help the brain process more information in a limited time.This is especially relevant (to the brain's visual system.With limited resources,the visual areas have to set priorities.In other words,memorable images may be memorable because they're just easy for our systems to process.Why faster processing would make time last longer is still a mystery,however.For now, the most reasonable explanation for why our brain slows time is that it is increasing the amount of information it can take in at once. 高二英语第6页共12页 32.What is the function of paragraph 1? A.To prove an opinion. B.To present a phenomenon. C.To challenge a viewpoint. D.To introduce a new finding. 33.Why did the team conduct the experiments? A.To perceive memorable images. B.To categorize the length of time. C.To know the secret of time perception. D.To test the memory of the participants 34.According to Wiener.what's the underlying cause of some images being more memon A.They have limited resources. B.They contain more information. C.They are looked at for a longer time. D.They are easy for the brain to process. 35.Which of the following is the best title for the text? A.Memory relies on visual aids. B.Faster processing makes time fly. C.Resources influence time perception. D.Memorable things make time slow down. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中港出能珠入空白处的最佳选原，并在答题卡上 项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Who wouldn't ant tobe aninsightmachneButfactdisuesadng get in your way.

Among the boxes, the one we took over from Gee stood out. As I lifted the lid, antique Christmas ornaments came in sight. Heartwarming memories came flooding back. We couldn't help thinking of Tom's kind gesture of returning our garbage cans and Gee's stories of their life together. To us, she was like family, and we couldn't imagine how lonely she would feel during the Christmas without our company. The thought of parting with Gee was almost killing us. Therefore, Jim and I decided to move after that year's Christmas celebration. We wanted to make that Christmas really special. We invited Gee over. The moment she stepped in, her eyes rested on the ornaments on the Christmas tree, and each was a piece of treasure she and Tom gathered over their lifetime, reminding her of all the good old days. As we gazed at the twinkling Christmas tree, it dawned on us that the true meaning of a tight-knit community was not just about living close to one another, but about weaving hearts together with love, kindness and mutual support. 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
