Seven students from kindergarten to year six attend Hermidale Public School, more than 600 kilometres west of Sydney. Each day they spend part of their school time outside tending the 85-hectare crop. The land was donated by a former student. Fifty years ago young Craig Grimmond often looked out of the school window at a bare paddock (荒芜的田地) that neighbored the school. Now he owns the land and kindly donated it to the students for their project. “People asked, ‘Why would you donate that whole block to them?’” he said. “I hardly use it and it’s going to be better for me in the long run because it’ll be cleaned up and will save me a job down the track.” Principal Skye Dedman said the school community felt very lucky They took this opportunity for the students. The students’ crop is a reality that seemed almost impossible three years ago. Ms Dedman said there were days when students were forced to stay indoors because of huge dust storms. Their school and their community really felt the threat of the drought. The students have had the use of the land for three years. During the three years, the tiny community has dealt with a mouse plague (鼠疫), the pandemic and flooding. The whole community has thrown its support behind the project, including farmer and parent Darren Mudford. “We’ve sown wheat this year and it would be nice if we got two or two-and-a-half tonne to the hectare, which is not a bad effort,” he said. “It’s much better than a cake sale.” The students’ wheat crop is expected to raise up to $ 50,000. The money will then be used to send the students on trips around the country. They are hoping to go to Newcastle later this year to see their wheat being loaded at the port. 4. Why did Craig Grimmond donate the paddock to the school? A. It saved him from taking care of the paddock. B. It was his promise to his former teachers. C. The paddock was too far away from him. D. He didn’t have money to run the paddock. 5. What made the students’ crop impossible three years ago? A. Their lack of confidence. B. The terrible dry weather. C. Little community support. D. Their poor planting technology. 6. What was Darren Mudford’s attitude to the students’ wheat harvest? A. Worried. B. Regretful. C. Hopeful. D. Satisfied. 7. What will the students’ income be used for? A. Opening a cake store. B. Paying for their travels. C. Enlarging the planting areas. D. Repaying the school community. 【答案】4 A 5. B 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。新南威尔士州西部的一所小学校正盯着天空，希望天气干燥，这样它就可以收获第一批小麦了，这些麦田由学校的学生照料，所获得的收入将用于支付学生的旅行费用。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“I hardly use it and it’s going to be better for me in the long run because it’ll be cleaned up and will save me a job down the track.(我很少使用它，从长远来看，它对我来说会更好，因为它会被清理干净，并为我节省一份工作)”可知，克雷格·格里蒙把围场捐给学校是因为这样他就不用照顾围场了。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段最后三句“The students’ crop is a reality that seemed almost impossible three years ago. Ms Dedman said there were days when students were forced to stay indoors because of huge dust storms. Their school and their community really felt the threat of the drought.(学生的收成在三年前几乎是不可能的。戴德曼女士说，有几天，由于巨大的沙尘暴，学生们被迫呆在室内。他们的学校和社区真切地感受到干旱的威胁)”可知，三年前，是可怕的干燥天气让学生的收成变得不可能。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段最后一句“The whole community has thrown its support behind the project, including farmer and parent Darren Mudford.(整个社区都在支持这个项目，包括农民和家长达伦·穆德福德)”和第七段““We’ve sown wheat this year and it would be nice if we got two or two-and-a-half tonne to the hectare, which is not a bad effort,” he said. “It’s much better than a cake sale.”(“我们今年播种了小麦，如果每公顷能收获两吨或两吨半就好了，这是一个不错的努力，”他说。“这比卖蛋糕好得多。”)”可推知，达伦·穆德福德对学生收获小麦的态度是充满希望的。故选C。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段第二句“The money will then be used to send the students on trips around the country.(这些钱将被用来送学生去全国各地旅行)”可知，学生的收入将用于支付他们的旅行费用。故选B。 C Pack4Good, a campaign (活动) by Canopy, is one of the fastest growing corporate responsibility platforms in America for ensuring paper packaging is not coming from ancient, endangered, or valuable forests. Canopy’s work in examining supply chains and providing recycled or sustainable (可持续的) packaging solutions has attracted 750 brands (品牌) across all its campaigns, including e-commerce company Amazon, fashion empires like Gap, Marks and Spencer, and others, and publishing and media firms like Mansfield Press, Penguin, and the New York Times. Only 18 months since the launch of Pack4Good, the campaign has welcomed 29 new brands from food and drink products to the printing, fashion, and e-commerce industries. “The companies that are joining Pack4Good are the out of the box thinkers we need — leaders ready to change paper packaging supply chains and find more solutions to save forests and our planet,” stated Nicole Rycroft, the founder of Canopy. “We have so many solutions just waiting to be carried out; it’s time to actually put them into practice.” Pack4Good’s selection of solutions for companies looking to reduce their forest impact are varied. They help connect companies to providers of pulp (纸浆) material like rice and wheat straw that can be turned into packaging, while their stamp of approval (认可标志) — Ancient Forest Friendly — represents the highest ecological qualities in the paper industry, and that the approved material has no endangered, controlled, or ancient wood. 90 million tons of rice straw is burned every year in India, which in the fields surrounding Delhi accounts for 40% of the air pollution in the city area. Canopy wants to take that rice straw and put it in the hands of recycled-paper plants, flooding the market with supply and adding a little more income to farmers. Pack4Good say these solutions are everywhere; it’s just a matter of helping business get started down the road to sustainable paper packaging supply chains. As more companies look for ways to reduce their impact on the world environment, it’s up to groups like Canopy to ensure their energy is directed. 8. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The impact of Canopy. B. The history of Canopy. C. The culture of Canopy. D. The purpose of Canopy. 9. What does Nicole Rycroft say about the companies joining Pack4Good? A. They promote simple packaging. B. They provide solutions to pollution. C. They are leading brands in the world. D. They are pioneers in forest protection. 10. Which of the following can best describe the solution to the problem in India? A. It is a win-win. B. It is a great challenge. C. It is suitable worldwide. D. It is expensive but worthy. 11. What is the author’s attitude to Canopy? A. Curious. B. Doubtful. C. Approving. D. Uncertain. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了Canopy的Pack4Good活动，推动企业采用可持续包装，保护森林。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Canopy’s work in examining supply chains and providing recycled or sustainable (可持续的) packaging solutions has attracted 750 brands (品牌) across all its campaigns, (Canopy在检查供应链和提供可回收或可持续的包装解决方案方面的工作吸引了750个品牌参与其所有活动)”可知，本段主要介绍了Canopy产生的影响。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段““The companies that are joining Pack4Good are the out of the box thinkers we need — leaders ready to change paper packaging supply chains and find more solutions to save forests and our planet,” stated Nicole Rycroft, the founder of Canopy. (Canopy创始人Nicole Rycroft表示：“加入Pack4Good的公司是我们需要的开箱即用的思想家——准备改变纸包装供应链，找到更多拯救森林和地球的解决方案的领导者。”)”可知，Nicole Rycroft认为加入Pack4Good的这些公司都是保护森林的倡导者。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“90 million tons of rice straw is burned every year in India, which in the fields surrounding Delhi accounts for 40% of the air pollution in the city area. Canopy wants to take that rice straw and put it in the hands of recycled-paper plants, flooding the market with supply and adding a little more income to farmers.(印度每年有9000万吨稻秆被焚烧，在德里周边的田地里，这占到了该市地区空气污染的40%。Canopy想要获取这些稻秆，并把它们交到回收纸厂手中，让市场上供应充足，同时给农民增加一点收入)”可知，Canopy的解决办法是把这些稻草作为原料交给再生纸工厂，既保护了环境，也能为农民增加一点收入。由此推知，该解决办法是双赢的。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Canopy’s work in examining supply chains and providing recycled or sustainable (可持续的) packaging solutions has attracted 750 brands (品牌) across all its campaigns, (Canopy在检查供应链和提供可回收或可持续的包装解决方案方面的工作吸引了750个品牌参与其所有活动)”以及最后一段“As more companies look for ways to reduce their impact on the world environment, it’s up to groups like Canopy to ensure their energy is directed. (随着越来越多的公司寻求减少对世界环境影响的方法，像Canopy这样的团体有责任确保他们的能源得到引导)”可知，作者认为需要像 Canopy这样的组织来引导更多的公司减少对世界环境的影响，由此可推知，作者对Canopy的态度是赞成的。故选C项。 D In a low-light Culver City, California, control room, Lily Shaw is getting her pilot mood on. Her Xbox controller stands ready to command her computer. Shaw is set for her task: piloting an order of food along Santa Monica sidewalks to a hungry customer. Shaw’s job at delivery start-up Coco shows a little-known fact about the delivery robot industry. For all their AI and other advanced technology, such sidewalk robots — suddenly all over certain neighbourhoods and college campuses — are backed by armies of human watchers who track the last-mile delivery vehicles the way parents watch over babies taking their first steps. These behind-the-scenes workers monitor, drive and — when things go terribly wrong — may ride a bike to complete the delivery themselves. California has become a proving ground for several sidewalk delivery robot start-ups like Coco. A recent partnership between Coco and Segway is promising to unleash thousands of pink vehicles in many cities. Another California start-up, Kiwibot, also employs remote vehicle operators, while San Francisco-based Starship Technologies has designed its sidewalk delivery robots to move along on their own but with employees tracking every move by computer screen. “There’s a huge demand for delivery to people’s homes. Unfortunately there is a shortage of drivers for most types of delivery,” says Satyandra K, Gupta, director of USC’s Center for Advanced Manufacturing. “The demand for drivers cannot be met at a cost that businesses are willing to pay. So the only real option is delivery by robots,” Gupta says. “One of the key benefits is speed, as we are able to send the food out to our nearby customers in the Coco robots as soon as the order is ready and not wait for drivers to arrive,” says Dan Londono, owner of a Santa Monica restaurant. Shaw likes the fact that it’s a job she can do from anywhere. The pay is also enough to be comfortable, especially for a student. “That’s really nice,” she says. “My parents are pleased that I’m earning money doing this.” 12. Which of the following best describes Shaw’s job? A. Designing sidewalk robots. B. Repairing delivery vehicles. C. Ordering food for customers. D. Driving food delivery robots. 13. What does the underlined word “unleash” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Wait for. B. Send out. C. Give up. D. Call back. 14. What do Gupta’s words mainly explain? A. Why delivery robots cost so much. B. Why delivery robots are much needed. C. Why the food delivery industry is popular. D. Why the delivery service gets little attention. 15. What does Shaw think of her job at Coco? A. It’s an unattractive job. B. It’s a highly respected job. C. It’s a challenging full-time job. D. It’s a flexible and well-paid job. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了不断壮大的送餐机器人大军背后的秘密。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Shaw is set for her task: piloting an order of food along Santa Monica sidewalks to a hungry customer. (Shaw的任务是：将一份食物沿着圣莫尼卡的人行道送到一位饥饿的顾客手中)”以及第二段“Shaw’s job at delivery start-up Coco shows a little-known fact about the delivery robot industry. For all their AI and other advanced technology, such sidewalk robots — suddenly all over certain neighbourhoods and college campuses — are backed by armies of human watchers who track the last-mile delivery vehicles the way parents watch over babies taking their first steps. These behind-the-scenes workers monitor, drive and — when things go terribly wrong — may ride a bike to complete the delivery themselves.(Shaw在快递初创公司Coco的工作揭示了快递机器人行业一个鲜为人知的事实。尽管有人工智能和其他先进技术，但这种人行道机器人——突然遍布某些社区和大学校园——得到了大批人类观察者的支持，他们像父母观察婴儿迈出第一步一样追踪最后一英里的送货车。这些幕后工作人员监控、开车，当事情严重出错时，他们可能会自己骑自行车完成送货)”可知，Shaw的工作是操控送餐机器人。故选D项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“A recent partnership between Coco and Segway is promising to unleash thousands of pink vehicles in many cities. Another California start-up, Kiwibot, also employs remote vehicle operators, while San Francisco-based Starship Technologies has designed its sidewalk delivery robots to move along on their own but with employees tracking every move by computer screen. (Coco和Segway最近的合作承诺将在许多城市unleash数千辆粉红色汽车。另一家加州初创公司Kiwibot也雇佣了远程车辆运营商，而总部位于旧金山的Starship Technologies设计了人行道送货机器人，可以自己移动，但员工可以通过电脑屏幕跟踪每一次移动)”可知，Coco和Segway合作的目的应该与上述两家公司类似，在许多城市投放使用配送机器人。由此推知，unleash意为“派送；投放”，与send out意思相近。故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“There’s a huge demand for delivery to people’s homes. Unfortunately there is a shortage of drivers for most types of delivery, (人们对送货上门的需求很大。不幸的是，大多数类型的送货都缺少司机)”以及第五段“The demand for drivers cannot be met at a cost that businesses are willing to pay. So the only real option is delivery by robots, (企业对司机的需求无法以企业愿意支付的成本得到满足。所以唯一真正的选择是使用机器人送货)”可知，人们对送货到家有很大需求，但大多数类型的配送服务都缺少司机，因为司机的需求无法以企业愿意支付的成本来满足，因此，解决这个问题的唯一办法就是用机器人送货。由此推知，Gupta说的话解释了为什么配送机器人的需求量大。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Shaw likes the fact that it’s a job she can do from anywhere. The pay is also enough to be comfortable, especially for a student. (Shaw喜欢这份工作的一个事实是，她可以在任何地方做。薪水也足够舒适，尤其是对学生来说)”可知，Shaw的这份操控送餐机器人的工作可以在任何地方完成，比较灵活，并且收入也不错。故选D项。 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。 4 Mistakes to Avoid in Your 20s Your 20s are such a fun time in your life, but it’s also extremely challenging as you are entering the “real” world.

Personally, I chose not to open a credit card until I was 25 to avoid getting into massive credit card debts. ___20___ You’re starting a new stage of your life, and a valuable thing you can do for the future is to be a sponge (海绵) and soak up (吸收) as much information as possible.

Not learning from everyone around you D. Find hobbies that keep you physically active and mentally sharp E You’ll likely be getting your first “adult” job and potentially moving to a new city F. When you ask most people of any age what their greatest stresses are, money is always up top G. But they are also the easiest way to put yourself in a hole that will take years to dig yourself out of 【答案】16. E 17. A 18. D 19. G 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了二十多岁应该避免的几个误区。 【16题详解】 由上文“Your 20s are such a fun time in your life, but it’s also extremely challenging as you are entering the ‘real’ world. There are a lot of things that are brand new. (你20多岁是人生中非常有趣的时光，但当你进入“真实”世界时，这也是极具挑战性的。有很多事情都是全新的)”可知，20多岁这个阶段充满新事物和挑战。E项中的first和new呼应上一句中的brand new，E项“你可能会得到你的第一份“成人”工作，并可能搬到一个新的城市”进一步阐述了进入“真实”世界会面临的具体新情况，与上文衔接紧密，说明这个阶段会面临工作和新城市等全新体验，符合语境。故选E。 【17题详解】 由上文“Your first job, and likely your second, will probably not be your forever career. (你的第一份工作，甚至可能是第二份工作，可能都不会是你终身的职业)”以及下文“Your 20s are the best years to explore different jobs to discover what your true strengths and passions are before settling on a single career path. (20多岁是探索不同工作的最佳时期，在选定单一职业道路之前，发现你真正的优势和激情所在)”可知，上文提到工作可能不是终身的，下文强调20多岁要探索工作。A项“这完全是正常的”承接上文，对这种工作可能不是终身职业的情况表示理解，认为这很正常，同时引出下文20多岁探索工作的内容。故选A。 【18题详解】 由上文“Starting and maintaining a healthy lifestyle early on will dramatically improve the quality of your life as you age. (尽早开始并保持健康的生活方式会随着年龄的增长极大地提高你的生活质量)”以及下文“It could be dancing, playing soccer, hiking, etc. (它可以是跳舞、踢足球、徒步旅行等)”可知，上文强调健康生活方式的重要性，下文列举了一些活动。D项“找到能让你保持身体活跃和思维敏捷的爱好”承上启下，说明要找到一些爱好来保持健康，与下文列举的活动相呼应。故选D。 【19题详解】 由上文“It CRUSHES me that schools don’t teach you about credit cards. Credit cards attract people with the promise of rewards and free vacations to tourist attractions. (学校不教你信用卡知识，这让我很沮丧。信用卡以奖励和免费去旅游景点度假为诱饵吸引人们)”可知，上文提到信用卡的吸引力。G项中的they指代上句中的Credit cards，G项“但它们也是让你陷入一个需要数年才能摆脱的困境的最简单方法”转折，说明信用卡虽然有吸引力，但也会带来严重后果，与上文形成对比，符合语境。故选G。 【20题详解】 由下文“You’re starting a new stage of your life, and a valuable thing you can do for the future is to be a sponge (海绵) and soak up (吸收) as much information as possible. Everyone you interact with has something valuable to teach you and take advantage of all this knowledge.”（你正在开启人生的新阶段，为未来做的一件有价值的事情就是像海绵一样吸收尽可能多的信息。与你交往的每个人都有值得你学习的东西，要利用所有这些知识)”可知，下文主要谈了在二十多岁时有必要像海绵一样吸收新知识，强调了在生活中积极向身边的人学习的重要性。下文中的Everyone you interact with和C项中的everyone around you构成同义复现，C项“不向周围人学习”与下文内容形成反义关系，作为小标题引出下文要阐述的向周围人学习的内容，符合语境。故选C。 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Science is not new to the idea of controversy and fraud.

From somewhere, an inner voice said, “Go and see Jeff and bring him the chair to repair. Go right now.” It was such a strong impulse that I hurriedly dressed and lugged a dining-room chair to his door. Jeff was a neighbour who had lost his wife a while back, and he occasionally did minor repairs for me on furniture because he enjoyed working with his hands. I knocked on his door and waited a while. I was about to walk away when he answered. He looked like he was far away in his thoughts. I felt awkward about disturbing him so early. I greeted him and then asked if he could repair my chair. He invited me inside. We sat in his living room. He looked depressed and not his usual self. He said he had a stroke recently, and while he was home now, he still needed to attend outpatient physical therapy. He had to build his strength back up. I apologized for the chair and told him, under the circumstances, I would just bring it back home. He said to leave it. We talked for a while. It had scared him to be in the hospital. He hadn’t been there since his wife had died. Having worked as a mental health therapist, I listened to how hard it had been since his wife passed away and how much worse it was now since the stroke. The longer we talked, the more I saw his mood lighten. We even started talking about his diet and how he had not been eating. He said the dietician had told him to eat more fruits and vegetables, but he didn’t care for them. Mostly, I was concerned because he was not eating much at all. I stayed talking with him until I saw his mood lift and the tension leave his face. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式作答。 After I left his home, I went to the grocery store and gathered ingredients. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next time I saw him, he said the dish was wonderful. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 After I left his home, I went to the grocery store and gathered ingredients. I made him a hot meal, which I thought would lift his spirits. Carefully, I cut up some vegetables and prepared a dish for him. I believed it was the best dish I’d ever made. Then, I made some home-made biscuits and prepared fresh fruit for dessert. I dropped it off for him. He was delighted that someone cared. Emotionally, he seemed in a better place. The next time I saw him, he said the dish was wonderful. Though I am usually skeptical of praise, I understood because I’d made it with love. He talked of his next physical-therapy appointment. I made sure he had transportation; I would gladly have driven him, but he had figured it out. What’s more, he repaired my chair. He said it gave him a reason to get his strength back. He had returned to his usual self, and his confidence had returned. I was so thankful for the inner voice that directed me to see him that morning. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者去找邻居杰夫修理椅子，结果得知杰夫最近中风了，饮食也很差，过得很艰难。于是作者回到家以后为杰夫准备了饭菜和水果，杰夫吃了以后情绪好转。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“离开他的家后，我去了杂货店买食材。”可知，第一段可描写作者准备饭菜的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“我第二次见到他时，他说这道菜很好吃。”可知，第二段可描写杰夫吃了饭菜以后情绪好转。 2.续写线索：购买食材——准备饭菜——杰夫吃下饭菜——杰夫情绪好转——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①认为：think/assume ②相信：believe/hold the belief ③确保：make sure/ensure 情绪类 ①高兴：delighted/glad ②感激：thankful/grateful 【点睛】[高分句型1] I made him a hot meal, which I thought would lift his spirits.（由which引导非限制性定语从句） [高分句型2] I was so thankful for the inner voice that directed me to see him that morning.（由that引导定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025连云港市新海高级中学4月质检 英语试题 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

Seven students from kindergarten to year six attend Hermidale Public School, more than 600 kilometres west of Sydney. Each day they spend part of their school time outside tending the 85-hectare crop. The land was donated by a former student. Fifty years ago young Craig Grimmond often looked out of the school window at a bare paddock (荒芜的田地) that neighbored the school. Now he owns the land and kindly donated it to the students for their project. “People asked, ‘Why would you donate that whole block to them?’” he said. “I hardly use it and it’s going to be better for me in the long run because it’ll be cleaned up and will save me a job down the track.” Principal Skye Dedman said the school community felt very lucky. They took this opportunity for the students. The students’ crop is a reality that seemed almost impossible three years ago. Ms Dedman said there were days when students were forced to stay indoors because of huge dust storms. Their school and their community really felt the threat of the drought. The students have had the use of the land for three years. During the three years, the tiny community has dealt with a mouse plague (鼠疫), the pandemic and flooding. The whole community has thrown its support behind the project, including farmer and parent Darren Mudford. “We’ve sown wheat this year and it would be nice if we got two or two-and-a-half tonne to the hectare, which is not a bad effort,” he said. “It’s much better than a cake sale.” The students’ wheat crop is expected to raise up to $ 50,000. The money will then be used to send the students on trips around the country. They are hoping to go to Newcastle later this year to see their wheat being loaded at the port. 4. Why did Craig Grimmond donate the paddock to the school? A. It saved him from taking care of the paddock. B. It was his promise to his former teachers. C. The paddock was too far away from him. D. He didn’t have money to run the paddock. 5. What made the students’ crop impossible three years ago? A. Their lack of confidence. B. The terrible dry weather. C. Little community support. D. Their poor planting technology. 6. What was Darren Mudford’s attitude to the students’ wheat harvest? A. Worried. B. Regretful. C. Hopeful. D. Satisfied. 7. What will the students’ income be used for? A. Opening a cake store. B. Paying for their travels. C. Enlarging the planting areas. D. Repaying the school community. C Pack4Good, a campaign (活动) by Canopy, is one of the fastest growing corporate responsibility platforms in America for ensuring paper packaging is not coming from ancient, endangered, or valuable forests. Canopy’s work in examining supply chains and providing recycled or sustainable (可持续的) packaging solutions has attracted 750 brands (品牌) across all its campaigns, including e-commerce company Amazon, fashion empires like Gap, Marks and Spencer, and others, and publishing and media firms like Mansfield Press, Penguin, and the New York Times. Only 18 months since the launch of Pack4Good, the campaign has welcomed 29 new brands from food and drink products to the printing, fashion, and e-commerce industries. “The companies that are joining Pack4Good are the out of the box thinkers we need — leaders ready to change paper packaging supply chains and find more solutions to save forests and our planet,” stated Nicole Rycroft, the founder of Canopy. “We have so many solutions just waiting to be carried out; it’s time to actually put them into practice.” Pack4Good’s selection of solutions for companies looking to reduce their forest impact are varied. They help connect companies to providers of pulp (纸浆) material like rice and wheat straw that can be turned into packaging, while their stamp of approval (认可标志) — Ancient Forest Friendly — represents the highest ecological qualities in the paper industry, and that the approved material has no endangered, controlled, or ancient wood. 90 million tons of rice straw is burned every year in India, which in the fields surrounding Delhi accounts for 40% of the air pollution in the city area. Canopy wants to take that rice straw and put it in the hands of recycled-paper plants, flooding the market with supply and adding a little more income to farmers. Pack4Good say these solutions are everywhere; it’s just a matter of helping business get started down the road to sustainable paper packaging supply chains. As more companies look for ways to reduce their impact on the world environment, it’s up to groups like Canopy to ensure their energy is directed. 8. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The impact of Canopy. B. The history of Canopy. C. The culture of Canopy. D. The purpose of Canopy. 9. What does Nicole Rycroft say about the companies joining Pack4Good? A. They promote simple packaging. B. They provide solutions to pollution. C. They are leading brands in the world. D. They are pioneers in forest protection. 10. Which of the following can best describe the solution to the problem in India? A. It is a win-win. B. It is a great challenge. C. It is suitable worldwide. D. It is expensive but worthy. 11. What is the author’s attitude to Canopy? A. Curious. B. Doubtful. C. Approving. D. Uncertain. D In a low-light Culver City, California, control room, Lily Shaw is getting her pilot mood on. Her Xbox controller stands ready to command her computer. Shaw is set for her task: piloting an order of food along Santa Monica sidewalks to a hungry customer. Shaw’s job at delivery start-up Coco shows a little-known fact about the delivery robot industry. For all their AI and other advanced technology, such sidewalk robots — suddenly all over certain neighbourhoods and college campuses — are backed by armies of human watchers who track the last-mile delivery vehicles the way parents watch over babies taking their first steps. These behind-the-scenes workers monitor, drive and — when things go terribly wrong — may ride a bike to complete the delivery themselves. California has become a proving ground for several sidewalk delivery robot start-ups like Coco. A recent partnership between Coco and Segway is promising to unleash thousands of pink vehicles in many cities. Another California start-up, Kiwibot, also employs remote vehicle operators, while San Francisco-based Starship Technologies has designed its sidewalk delivery robots to move along on their own but with employees tracking every move by computer screen. “There’s a huge demand for delivery to people’s homes. Unfortunately there is a shortage of drivers for most types of delivery,” says Satyandra K, Gupta, director of USC’s Center for Advanced Manufacturing. “The demand for drivers cannot be met at a cost that businesses are willing to pay. So the only real option is delivery by robots,” Gupta says. “One of the key benefits is speed, as we are able to send the food out to our nearby customers in the Coco robots as soon as the order is ready and not wait for drivers to arrive,” says Dan Londono, owner of a Santa Monica restaurant. Shaw likes the fact that it’s a job she can do from anywhere. The pay is also enough to be comfortable especially for a student. “That’s really nice,” she says. “My parents are pleased that I’m earning money doing this.” 12. Which of the following best describes Shaw’s job? A. Designing sidewalk robots. B. Repairing delivery vehicles. C. Ordering food for customers. D. Driving food delivery robots. 13. What does the underlined word “unleash” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Wait for. B. Send out. C. Give up. D. Call back. 14. What do Gupta’s words mainly explain? A. Why delivery robots cost so much. B. Why delivery robots are much needed. C. Why the food delivery industry is popular. D. Why the delivery service gets little attention. 15. What does Shaw think of her job at Coco? A. It’s an unattractive job. B. It’s a highly respected job. C. It’s a challenging full-time job. D. It’s a flexible and well-paid job. 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。 4 Mistakes to Avoid in Your 20s Your 20s are such a fun time in your life, but it’s also extremely challenging as you are entering the “real” world.

From somewhere, an inner voice said, “Go and see Jeff and bring him the chair to repair. Go right now.” It was such a strong impulse that I hurriedly dressed and lugged a dining-room chair to his door. Jeff was a neighbour who had lost his wife a while back, and he occasionally did minor repairs for me on furniture because he enjoyed working with his hands. I knocked on his door and waited a while. I was about to walk away when he answered. He looked like he was far away in his thoughts. I felt awkward about disturbing him so early. I greeted him and then asked if he could repair my chair. He invited me inside. We sat in his living room. He looked depressed and not his usual self. He said he had a stroke recently, and while he was home now, he still needed to attend outpatient physical therapy. He had to build his strength back up. I apologized for the chair and told him, under the circumstances, I would just bring it back home. He said to leave it. We talked for a while. It had scared him to be in the hospital. He hadn’t been there since his wife had died. Having worked as a mental health therapist, I listened to how hard it had been since his wife passed away and how much worse it was now since the stroke. The longer we talked, the more I saw his mood lighten. We even started talking about his diet and how he had not been eating. He said the dietician had told him to eat more fruits and vegetables, but he didn’t care for them. Mostly, I was concerned because he was not eating much at all. I stayed talking with him until I saw his mood lift and the tension leave his face. 注意：1.续写词数应150左右; 2.请按如下格式作答 After I left his home, I went to the grocery store and gathered ingredients. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next time I saw him, he said the dish was wonderful. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
