The award was given to him for the growing of different types of crops through organic farming. The journey began in 2014 when Mallikarjun left his software job. The decision wasn’t too sudden. When he visited the hospital, he heard patients and doctors talking about the effects of harmful chemicals on food and milk. It was alarming to see how we pollute ourselves and the environment. The last straw was the death of his friend’s daughter from cancer. “I didn’t want to offer harmful food to my family and I started the change,” says Mallikarjun. Farming wasn’t new to his family. He took over the land that his farmer father owned, and began running a semi—organic farm with the rice crop. As the results were not as expected, he grew the rice crop in drip irrigation (滴灌) and then attempted hybrid farming. He then practiced the System of Rice Intensification (SRI) farming methodology to increase the productivity of rice. If regular farming requires an investment (投资额) of $600 for 6,000 kg of rice, Mallikarjun invests only $300 to obtain the same output. Efforts by Mallikarjun in rainwater harvesting through lakes and open wells for increased groundwater and raising awareness among other farmers of the misuse of pesticides and field management have also been appreciated. He also recommends using techniques researched by agricultural universities to deal with stubble (残梗) in the fields instead of burning stubble. Mallikarjun manages the fields on his own, without employees, and he follows a 12-hour work schedule—awakening at 4 a. m. to feed sheep, goats and cows before going to the farm. The software engineer-turned-farmer has also launched an organic shop, where he sells the produce of farmers from his village. “Organic farming helps the environment,” he describes. “Small farmers must start small to maintain organic agriculture and their livelihoods as well.” 4. How did Mallikarjun probably feel when he visited the hospital in 2014? A. Puzzled. B. Curious. C. Concerned. D. Doubtful. 5. What do Mallikarjun’s farming approaches reveal according to paragraph 3? A. The value of traditional methods. B. The importance of high investments. C. The disadvantages of organic farming. D. The effectiveness of innovative techniques. 6. What does Mallikarjun intend to promote through his efforts in paragraph 4? A. Profit-driven farming. B. Crop waste recycling. C. Personalized farming techniques. D. Eco-friendly agricultural practices. 7. Which of the following best describes Mallikarjun? A. Creative and caring. B. Energetic and patient. C. Honest and passionate. D. Conventional and serious. 【答案】4 C 5. D 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述了印度农民Mavuram Mallikarjun Reddy放弃软件工作，转而从事有机农业，并最终获得“Jagjivan Ram Abhinav Kisan Puruskar”奖的故事。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“When he visited the hospital, he heard patients and doctors talking about the effects of harmful chemicals on food and milk. It was alarming to see how we pollute ourselves and the environment. The last straw was the death of his friend’s daughter from cancer. “I didn’t want to offer harmful food to my family and I started the change,” says Mallikarjun.(当他参观医院时，他听到病人和医生谈论有害化学物质对食品和牛奶的影响。看到我们如何污染自己和环境是令人震惊的。他朋友的女儿死于癌症，这使他忍无可忍。“我不想给我的家人提供有害的食物，我开始改变，”Mallikarjun说)”可知，2014年马利卡君访问医院时，他可能是担心的，不想给家人提供有害的食物。故选C项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“He then practiced the System of Rice Intensification (SRI) farming methodology to increase the productivity of rice. If regular farming requires an investment (投资额) of $600 for 6,000 kg of rice, Mallikarjun invests only $300 to obtain the same output. Efforts by Mallikarjun in rainwater harvesting through lakes and open wells for increased groundwater and raising awareness among other farmers of the misuse of pesticides and field management have also been appreciated. He also recommends using techniques researched by agricultural universities to deal with stubble (残梗) in the fields instead of burning stubble.(然后，他实践了水稻集约化系统（SRI）耕作方法，以提高水稻的生产力。如果常规农业需要投资600美元来生产6000公斤大米，Mallikarjun只需要投资300美元就能获得同样的产量。Mallikarjun在通过湖泊和露天水井收集雨水以增加地下水和提高其他农民对滥用农药和田间管理的认识方面所作的努力也受到赞赏。他还建议使用农业大学研究的技术来处理田间的残茬，而不是焚烧残茬)”可知，常规农业需要投资600美元来生产6000公斤大米，Mallikarjun只需要投资300美元就能获得同样的产量，所以Mallikarjun的耕作方法揭示了创新技术的有效性。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Mallikarjun manages the fields on his own, without employees, and he follows a 12-hour work schedule—awakening at 4 a. m. to feed sheep, goats and cows before going to the farm. The software engineer-turned-farmer has also launched an organic shop, where he sells the produce of farmers from his village. “Organic farming helps the environment,” he describes. “Small farmers must start small to maintain organic agriculture and their livelihoods as well.”(Mallikarjun自己管理田地，没有员工，他遵循12小时的工作时间表——早上4点起床，喂绵羊、山羊和奶牛，然后去农场。这位软件工程师出身的农民还开了一家有机商店，在那里出售他村里农民的产品。“有机农业有利于环境，”他说。“小农户必须从小做起，以维持有机农业和他们的生计。”)”可知，Mallikarjun希望促进生态友好型农业实践。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段内容可知，Mallikarjun为家人毅然辞去软件工作，开始从事有机农业，因为不想给家人提供有害的食物，所以是有爱心的，根据第三段内容可知，Mallikarjun实践了水稻集约化系统（SRI）耕作方法，取得了很好的成果，说明他是有创造力的。故选A项。 C If you wanted your child to become a top athlete as an adult, the best way may not be what you think. It seems logical that someone who started at an early age and focused on one thing would become the best at it. But it turns out that most champions don’t follow the path of early specialization. Research of the past 20 years has steadily revealed that kids who have tried different sports, on the whole, go further in the long term than kids who have specialized early. The researchers reviewed 51 international studies on expert athlete performance. Taken together, these studies looked at the developmental history of 6,096 adult and youth athletes, including 772 of the world’s top performers. Their analyses showed that the majority of world-class athletes were multisport athletes in childhood and adolescence (青春期). In many cases, the top adult athletes also started their main sport later and practiced it for fewer hours during childhood than many of their peers (同龄人). They also generally progressed more slowly. In contrast, their peers who specialized early often found more success at the youth level. However, that’s where most of them peaked. When it came to long-term success on the international stage, the late-specialization kids were much better represented. The multisport approach works for a couple of reasons. One of them appears to be better skills transfer between different sports. Raducanu’s former coach said that when she’s learning a new skill, she can pick things up very quickly. Also, trying more sports in childhood helps kids find a sport that suits their talent and interest best. Plus, it can reduce the risk of injury and mental burnout, Given the research, why do we keep pushing kids to specialize at a young age? One of the major reasons is that so many of us have lived for so long with the idea that early specialization produces the best results. If we want kids to reach their best potential over the long term, we need to encourage them to try as many different sports and activities in childhood as practically possible. 8. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The purpose of the research. B. The result of the research. C. The process of the research. D. The participants of the research. 9. Why does the multisport approach work? A. It allows kids to acquire more training hours. B. It helps kids to become famous at a young age. C. It makes kids more competitive in their childhood. D. It enables skills in one sport to be applied to another. 10. Why do people still push kids into early sports specialization? A. Some wrong ideas are deeply rooted. B. Kids can develop better in the long run. C. It’s casier for kids to find their favorite sports early. D. It helps reduce kids’ risk of injury and mental burnout. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. Youth Sport: A Profitable Business B. The Road to Becoming a Top Athlete C. Multisport Approach: The Key to Success D. The Benefit of Early Specialization in Sports 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了研究发现尝试多种运动的孩子从长远来看比早期专门从事一项运动的孩子发展得更好，多种运动方式对孩子有诸多益处。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Their analyses showed that the majority of world-class athletes were multisport athletes in childhood and adolescence (青春期). In many cases, the top adult athletes also started their main sport later and practiced it for fewer hours during childhood than many of their peers (同龄人). They also generally progressed more slowly. In contrast, their peers who specialized early often found more success at the youth level. However, that’s where most of them peaked. When it came to long-term success on the international stage, the late-specialization kids were much better represented.(他们的分析表明，大多数世界级运动员在童年和青春期都是从事多种运动的运动员。在许多情况下，顶级成年运动员开始他们的主要运动也比较晚，而且在童年时期练习的时间比他们的许多同龄人要少。他们通常进步也比较慢。相比之下，早期专门从事一项运动的同龄人在青年阶段往往更成功。然而，那是他们大多数人的巅峰时期。当谈到在国际舞台上的长期成功时，后期专门从事一项运动的孩子表现得要好得多。)”可知，第三段主要讲的是研究的结果，即从事多种运动的孩子从长远来看比早期专门从事一项运动的孩子更成功。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The multisport approach works for a couple of reasons. One of them appears to be better skills transfer between different sports. Raducanu’s former coach said that when she’s learning a new skill, she can pick things up very quickly.(多种运动方式之所以有效有几个原因。其中一个原因似乎是不同运动之间更好的技能转移。拉杜卡努的前教练说，当她学习一项新技能时，她能很快学会。)”可知，多种运动方式有效的原因是它能使一项运动的技能应用到另一项运动中。故选D项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Given the research, why do we keep pushing kids to specialize at a young age? One of the major reasons is that so many of us have lived for so long with the idea that early specialization produces the best results.(鉴于这项研究，为什么我们还在推动孩子们在年轻时专门从事一项运动呢？一个主要原因是，我们很多人长期以来一直认为早期专门从事一项运动能产生最好的结果。)”可知，人们仍然推动孩子早期专门从事一项运动是因为一些错误的观念已经根深蒂固。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“Research of the past 20 years has steadily revealed that kids who have tried different sports, on the whole, go further in the long term than kids who have specialized early.(过去 20 年的研究逐渐表明，从总体上看，尝试过不同运动的孩子从长远来看比早期专门从事一项运动的孩子发展得更好。)”以及最后一段“If we want kids to reach their best potential over the long term, we need to encourage them to try as many different sports and activities in childhood as practically possible.(如果我们希望孩子从长远来看发挥出他们的最大潜力，我们需要鼓励他们在童年时期尽可能多地尝试不同的运动和活动。)”可知，文章主要讲述了多种运动方式对孩子成为顶级运动员的重要性，所以“多种运动方式：成功的关键”最适合作为文章标题。故选C项。 D A famous travel writer, pick Iyer, recently wrote of his experience in the deep south of the world. The visit, he said, “awakens you to the environmental concerns of the world, and you go home with important questions for your conscience (良知) as well as radiant memories.” Iyer isn’t alone. This response is widespread, known in the industry as Antarctic ambassador ship. In Antarctic a, crowding, environmental impact and emissions are the most pressing issues. While 100,000 tourists a year is tiny by global tourism standards, and visits are concentrated in highly sensitive ecological areas for only a few months per year. There are no residents to disturb (other than local wildlife), because there’s no host community to protest if visitor numbers get too high. Even so, strong protections are in place. In accordance with the Antarctic Treaty System — the set of international agreements signed by countries with an Antarctic presence or an interest — tourism operators based in those nations have to apply for permits and follow strict environmental regulations. For instance, to avoid introducing new species, tourists have to follow rules such as disinfecting their boots and vacuuming their pockets before setting foot on the ice, and keeping a set distance from wildlife. Almost all Antarctic cruise owners belong to the International Association of Antarctic a Tour Operators, the peak body that manages Antarctic tourism. For the first time this year, operators have to report their overall fuel consumption as part of IAATO’s efforts to make the industry more climate-friendly. Some operators are now using hybrid vessels (合成船舶) that can run partly on electric propulsion (推进) for short periods, reducing carbon dioxide emissions. If you’re one of the tourists going to Antarctica this summer, enjoy the experience — but go with care. Be aware that no trip south comes without environmental cost and use this knowledge to make clear-eyed decisions about your activities both in Antarctic a and once you’re safely back home. 12. What’s the function of Paragraph 1? A. To introduce the famous writer pick layer. B. To show how amazing to be Antarctic Ambassador. C. To arouse public interest in Antarctic tourism. D. To show concerns for Antarctic environment. 13. What’s the possible meaning of the underlined word “vacuuming” in Paragraph 4? A. Protecting. B. Emptying. C. Staining. D. Filling. 14. Which is true about the operator this year according to the passage? A. They needn’t report overall fuel assumption. B. They made no effort to be climate-friendly. C. Hybrid vessels are a good choice to reduce CO2. D. Polar travel can be stopped right away by the company. 15 What’s the author’s attitude towards Antarctic tourism? A. Positive. B. Neutral. C. Negative. D. Unclear. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了南极旅游对环境的影响及采取的保护措施，强调游客应负责任地进行南极旅行。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“The visit, he said, “awakens you to the environmental concerns of the world, and you go home with important questions for your conscience (良知) as well as radiant memories.” Iyer isn’t alone. This response is widespread, known in the industry as Antarctic ambassador ship. (他说，这次访问‘让你意识到对世界环境的担忧，当你回家时，心中不仅带着美好的回忆，还会有一些关乎良知的重要问题’。并非只有Iyer有这样的感受。这种反应很普遍，在业内被称为‘南极大使意识’)”及第二段中“In Antarctic a, crowding, environmental impact and emissions are the most pressing issues.(在南极洲，人口拥挤、环境影响和排放问题是最为紧迫的问题)”可知，著名旅行作家Iyer讲述了他在世界最南端（南极洲）的经历，他的这次访问让他意识到对世界环境的担忧，而且这种反应很普遍。由此可推断，第一段的作用是展示对南极环境的关注。故选D。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“For instance, to avoid introducing new species, tourists have to follow rules such as disinfecting their boots and vacuuming their pockets before setting foot on the ice, and keeping a set distance from wildlife.(例如，为了避免引入新物种，游客必须遵守一些规定，比如在踏上冰面之前给靴子消毒、vacuuming口袋，并且与野生动物保持一定的距离)”可推知，为避免引入新物种，踏上冰面之前给靴子消毒，要防止口袋里有从其他地方带来的东西被带到南极，因此要保证口子里没有东西，“vacuuming their pockets”意思是清空口袋，vacuuming意思是“清空”。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Some operators are now using hybrid vessels (合成船舶) that can run partly on electric propulsion (推进) for short periods, reducing carbon dioxide emissions.(一些运营商现在正在使用混合动力船，这种船可以在短时间内部分依靠电力推进，从而减少二氧化碳排放)”可知，混合动力船是减少二氧化碳排放的好选择。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“If you’re one of the tourists going to Antarctica this summer, enjoy the experience — but go with care. Be aware that no trip south comes without environmental cost and use this knowledge to make clear-eyed decisions about your activities both in Antarctic a and once you’re safely back home.(如果你是今年夏天去南极洲的游客之一，享受这段经历吧——但要小心。要知道，每一次南极之旅都会付出环境代价，利用这些知识，明智地决定你在南极的活动，以及一旦你安全回家后该做什么)”可知，作者对南极之旅的建议是享受这段经历的同时要多加注意；由此可推知，作者对南极旅游持积极态度。故选A。 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。 Have you ever played the finger trap game? You put your two fingers inside a tube. The challenge is to take them out of the tube. Sounds easy, but when you try to pull them out. the tube locks around them and makes it impossible. Like this game, John was in a trap of his own making. He spent a lot of his time, energy, and thoughts trying to make everyone around him happy. ____16____ So, what was really going on? ____17____ This starts in childhood when we want to keep our caregivers happy, as we depend on them for survival. This continues in school with peer groups, and later at work, with teams and bosses. If we feel we aren’t fitting in, our threat detection system may get activated, causing anxiety. People-pleasing is a pattern of behaviour where we put others’ wants and needs before our own. ____18____ In turn, attempts to avoid any potential criticism can result in unhelpful behaviours. If you recognise you might be a people-pleaser, the following tips may be helpful. First, understand whose opinions really matter. Not everyone’s opinion will hold the same weight. Second, focus on your own values and rules. ____19____ Take time to understand your values and act on them, rather than someone else’s. You may be wondering what the solution is to get out of the finger trap. Well, it’s simple once you know how. ____20____ Likewise, for people-pleasers, it’s time to look inward and live by what matters to them, not to seek others’ approval for self-worth. A. Third, try to get along with others. B. Humans have an inborn need to fit in. C. It holds us back from fully growing up as a person. D. The reason for doing something is because you want to. E. It can make us particularly sensitive to criticism and disapproval. F. The secret is to relax, and push your fingers inward not outward. G. However, the more he tried to do this, the more unhappy he became. 【答案】16. G 17. B 18. E 19. D 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章借手指陷阱游戏，引出讨好型人格问题，阐述其成因、表现，还给出摆脱该人格及陷阱的方法。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Like this game, John was in a trap of his own making. He spent a lot of his time, energy, and thoughts trying to make everyone around him happy.(就像这场游戏一样，约翰陷入了自己制造的陷阱。他投入了大量的时间、精力和思考，试图让周围的人都感到快乐)”可知，空前描述了约翰花费大量时间、精力和心思让周围人开心，空后提出“So, what was really going on?(那么，到底发生了什么呢)”说明设空处应体现约翰这种行为带来的结果且与预期不同。G选项“然而，他越努力这样做，就变得越不开心”符合上下文逻辑，起到了承上启下的作用。G项中的代词this指代上文约翰做的事情。故选G项。 【17题详解】 根据后文“This starts in childhood when we want to keep our caregivers happy, as we depend on them for survival. This continues in school with peer groups, and later at work, with teams and bosses. If we feel we aren’t fitting in, our threat detection system may get activated, causing anxiety.(这始于童年时期，我们想让照顾我们的人开心，因为我们依赖他们生存。这种情况在学校里与同龄人相处，后来在工作中与团队和老板相处。如果我们觉得自己不适应，我们的威胁检测系统可能会被激活，导致焦虑)”可知，空后提到这种情况从童年想让照顾者开心开始，在学校和工作中也持续存在，还提到如果感觉自己不合群会激活威胁检测系统导致焦虑。B选项“人类有一种与生俱来的融入群体的需求”很好地引出了下文关于人们为了融入不同群体而产生的行为，是本段的主题句。故选B项。 【18题详解】 空后“In turn, attempts to avoid any potential criticism can result in unhelpful behaviours.(反过来，试图避免任何潜在的批评可能会导致无益的行为)”讲的避免批评导致问题行为需前因。E选项“它会使我们对批评和不认可特别敏感”解释原因，It指代前文的People-pleasing，且“对批评和不认可敏感”与后文“试图避免潜在批评”相呼应。故选E项。 【19题详解】 空前“Second, focus on your own values and rules.(第二，专注于你自己的价值观和规则)”说要关注自己的价值观和规则，空后“Take time to understand your values and act on them, rather than someone else’s.(花时间了解你的价值观并采取行动，而不是别人的)”讲按自己价值观行动。D选项“做某件事的原因是因为你自己想做”强调了要按照自己的意愿行动，与关注自己的价值观相契合。故选D项。 【20题详解】 空前“You may be wondering what the solution is to get out of the finger trap. Well, it’s simple once you know how.(你可能想知道摆脱手指陷阱的方法是什么。只要你知道怎么做就很简单了)”问摆脱手指陷阱的解决办法是什么，空后“Likewise, for people-pleasers, it’s time to look inward and live by what matters to them, not to seek others’ approval for self-worth.(同样，对于取悦他人的人来说，是时候向内看，按照对他们重要的东西生活，而不是寻求别人对自我价值的认可)”说同样对于讨好型人格的人，是时候向内审视并按照对自己重要的事情生活，而不是为了自我价值寻求他人认可。F选项“秘诀是放松，然后把手指往里推而不是往外拉”与前文关于手指陷阱游戏的解决办法相呼应，也为后文讨好型人格的人提供了类似的解决思路。故选F项。 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。 Sue was at the bus stop waiting to catch the bus home after a busy day at college.

She sat down at her desk and stared at the pile of mathematics textbooks in front of her. Then she was distracted by the storm outside her window. a different storm though to the storm in her mind. She had always been top in her class in English and Computer Science, but mathematics was an entirely different story. This shadow hung over her like a never ending storm, threatening to ruin her dream of a future in the computer science at university. Sometimes, she even longed for the end-of-year exam to prove her efforts. She opened her notebook to a page filled with half-finished equations (方程式). “Why can’t I get this?” she thought frustration welling up inside her. Her teachers had high expectations for her, especially after her excellent performance in her other subjects. But just the word, “mathematics,” made her tremble inside. You can, if you think you can, Janice thought of her father’s words and repeated to herself. She tried to study, but when she would open a textbook, only to find herself picking up her phone and looking through social media for hours. “I’m rubbish at math.” Janice whispered. Janice’s father came sitting down beside her. “Yes, we know you are rubbish at maths. but one day you will tell me you ‘were’ rubbish at maths once.” he said quietly, and with feeling. “Janice, you’ve always been a fighter. Remember what I told you? You can, if you think you can. It’s not just about believing it; it is about you wanting to believe it, it’s also about proving it to yourself. You just have to take that first step toward believing you can do this.” “You’ve got a sharp mind, Janice.” her teacher, Mr. Thompson, said one day after she finally solved a particularly tricky maths problem. “You just need to trust yourself.” Janice was starting to believe in her father’s words. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Janice began to put her heart and soul into mathematics. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The end-of-year exam finally came. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Janice began to put her heart and soul into mathematics. She made a detailed study plan, setting aside specific hours each day for math. Whenever she felt like reaching for her phone, she would recall her father’s words and Mr. Thompson’s encouragement. She dedicated herself to working through piles of practice problems, and gradually, the previously confusing equations started to make sense. She also joined a study group with classmates who were also struggling with math, and they motivated each other. With every small success, her confidence grew. The end-of-year exam finally came. Janice entered the exam room feeling a mix of nervousness and determination. She took a deep breath and focused on the questions. As she worked through the paper, she found that the knowledge she had painstakingly built up over the months was coming to her aid. As it turned out, she passed the math exam with flying colors. She ran home, eager to share the news with her father, finally able to say, “I was rubbish at maths once.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，本文讲述了女孩因为数学期中考试不及格，感到很难过，她认为自己不擅长数学，不相信自己能够学好数学，她的父亲发现这一切后，开始鼓励她，相信她能够学好数学，听了父亲的话，女孩重拾信心，决定努力尝试。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“珍妮丝开始全心全意地投入数学。”可知，第一段可描写珍妮丝是如何努力学习数学的。 ②由第二段首句内容“年终考试终于来了。”可知，第二段可描写珍妮丝在考试中的表现及考试结果。 2.续写线索：努力学习数学——加入学习小组——对数学更有自信——参加考试——取得优异成绩 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①致力于做某事：dedicate oneself to doing/devote oneself to doing ②开始做某事：start to do sth./begin to do sth. ③全神贯注于：focus on/concentrate on 情绪类 ①自信：confidence/self-belief ②紧张，焦虑：nervousness/anxiety 【点睛】[高分句型1].

B Mavuram Mallikarjun Reddy is the only farming person from India to receive “Jagjivan Ram Abhinav Kisan Puruskar” from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR). The award was given to him for the growing of different types of crops through organic farming. The journey began in 2014 when Mallikarjun left his software job. The decision wasn’t too sudden. When he visited the hospital, he heard patients and doctors talking about the effects of harmful chemicals on food and milk. It was alarming to see how we pollute ourselves and the environment. The last straw was the death of his friend’s daughter from cancer. “I didn’t want to offer harmful food to my family and I started the change,” says Mallikarjun. Farming wasn’t new to his family. He took over the land that his farmer father owned, and began running a semi—organic farm with the rice crop. As the results were not as expected, he grew the rice crop in drip irrigation (滴灌) and then attempted hybrid farming. He then practiced the System of Rice Intensification (SRI) farming methodology to increase the productivity of rice. If regular farming requires an investment (投资额) of $600 for 6,000 kg of rice, Mallikarjun invests only $300 to obtain the same output. Efforts by Mallikarjun in rainwater harvesting through lakes and open wells for increased groundwater and raising awareness among other farmers of the misuse of pesticides and field management have also been appreciated. He also recommends using techniques researched by agricultural universities to deal with stubble (残梗) in the fields instead of burning stubble. Mallikarjun manages the fields on his own, without employees, and he follows a 12-hour work schedule—awakening at 4 a. m. to feed sheep, goats and cows before going to the farm. The software engineer-turned-farmer has also launched an organic shop, where he sells the produce of farmers from his village. “Organic farming helps the environment,” he describes. “Small farmers must start small to maintain organic agriculture and their livelihoods as well.” 4. How did Mallikarjun probably feel when he visited the hospital in 2014? A. Puzzled. B. Curious. C. Concerned. D. Doubtful. 5. What do Mallikarjun’s farming approaches reveal according to paragraph 3? A. The value of traditional methods. B. The importance of high investments. C. The disadvantages of organic farming. D. The effectiveness of innovative techniques. 6. What does Mallikarjun intend to promote through his efforts in paragraph 4? A. Profit-driven farming. B. Crop waste recycling. C. Personalized farming techniques. D. Eco-friendly agricultural practices. 7. Which of the following best describes Mallikarjun? A. Creative and caring. B. Energetic and patient. C. Honest and passionate. D. Conventional and serious. C If you wanted your child to become a top athlete as an adult, the best way may not be what you think. It seems logical that someone who started at an early age and focused on one thing would become the best at it. But it turns out that most champions don’t follow the path of early specialization. Research of the past 20 years has steadily revealed that kids who have tried different sports, on the whole, go further in the long term than kids who have specialized early. The researchers reviewed 51 international studies on expert athlete performance. Taken together, these studies looked at the developmental history of 6,096 adult and youth athletes, including 772 of the world’s top performers. Their analyses showed that the majority of world-class athletes were multisport athletes in childhood and adolescence (青春期). In many cases, the top adult athletes also started their main sport later and practiced it for fewer hours during childhood than many of their peers (同龄人). They also generally progressed more slowly. In contrast, their peers who specialized early often found more success at the youth level. However, that’s where most of them peaked. When it came to long-term success on the international stage, the late-specialization kids were much better represented. The multisport approach works for a couple of reasons. One of them appears to be better skills transfer between different sports. Raducanu’s former coach said that when she’s learning a new skill, she can pick things up very quickly. Also, trying more sports in childhood helps kids find a sport that suits their talent and interest best. Plus, it can reduce the risk of injury and mental burnout, Given the research, why do we keep pushing kids to specialize at a young age? One of the major reasons is that so many of us have lived for so long with the idea that early specialization produces the best results. If we want kids to reach their best potential over the long term, we need to encourage them to try as many different sports and activities in childhood as practically possible. 8. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The purpose of the research. B. The result of the research. C. The process of the research. D. The participants of the research. 9. Why does the multisport approach work? A. It allows kids to acquire more training hours. B. It helps kids to become famous at a young age. C. It makes kids more competitive in their childhood. D. It enables skills in one sport to be applied to another. 10. Why do people still push kids into early sports specialization? A. Some wrong ideas are deeply rooted. B. Kids can develop better in the long run. C. It’s casier for kids to find their favorite sports early. D. It helps reduce kids’ risk of injury and mental burnout. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. Youth Sport: A Profitable Business B. The Road to Becoming a Top Athlete C. Multisport Approach: The Key to Success D. The Benefit of Early Specialization in Sports D A famous travel writer, pick Iyer, recently wrote of his experience in the deep south of the world. The visit, he said, “awakens you to the environmental concerns of the world, and you go home with important questions for your conscience (良知) as well as radiant memories.” Iyer isn’t alone. This response is widespread, known in the industry as Antarctic ambassador ship. In Antarctic a, crowding, environmental impact and emissions are the most pressing issues. While 100,000 tourists a year is tiny by global tourism standards, and visits are concentrated in highly sensitive ecological areas for only a few months per year. There are no residents to disturb (other than local wildlife), because there’s no host community to protest if visitor numbers get too high. Even so, strong protections are in place. In accordance with the Antarctic Treaty System — the set of international agreements signed by countries with an Antarctic presence or an interest — tourism operators based in those nations have to apply for permits and follow strict environmental regulations. For instance, to avoid introducing new species, tourists have to follow rules such as disinfecting their boots and vacuuming their pockets before setting foot on the ice, and keeping a set distance from wildlife. Almost all Antarctic cruise owners belong to the International Association of Antarctic a Tour Operators, the peak body that manages Antarctic tourism. For the first time this year, operators have to report their overall fuel consumption as part of IAATO’s efforts to make the industry more climate-friendly. Some operators are now using hybrid vessels (合成船舶) that can run partly on electric propulsion (推进) for short periods, reducing carbon dioxide emissions. If you’re one of the tourists going to Antarctica this summer, enjoy the experience — but go with care. Be aware that no trip south comes without environmental cost and use this knowledge to make clear-eyed decisions about your activities both in Antarctic a and once you’re safely back home. 12. What’s the function of Paragraph 1? A To introduce the famous writer pick layer. B. To show how amazing to be Antarctic Ambassador. C. To arouse public interest in Antarctic tourism. D.

Which is true about the operator this year according to the passage? A. They needn’t report overall fuel assumption. B. They made no effort to be climate-friendly. C. Hybrid vessels are a good choice to reduce CO2. D. Polar travel can be stopped right away by the company. 15. What’s the author’s attitude towards Antarctic tourism? A. Positive. B. Neutral. C. Negative. D. Unclear. 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。 Have you ever played the finger trap game? You put your two fingers inside a tube.

She sat down at her desk and stared at the pile of mathematics textbooks in front of her. Then she was distracted by the storm outside her window. a different storm though to the storm in her mind. She had always been top in her class in English and Computer Science, but mathematics was an entirely different story. This shadow hung over her like a never ending storm, threatening to ruin her dream of a future in the computer science at university. Sometimes, she even longed for the end-of-year exam to prove her efforts. She opened her notebook to a page filled with half-finished equations (方程式). “Why can’t I get this?” she thought, frustration welling up inside her. Her teachers had high expectations for her, especially after her excellent performance in her other subjects. But just the word, “mathematics,” made her tremble inside. You can, if you think you can, Janice thought of her father’s words and repeated to herself. She tried to study, but when she would open a textbook, only to find herself picking up her phone and looking through social media for hours. “I’m rubbish at math.” Janice whispered. Janice’s father came sitting down beside her. “Yes, we know you are rubbish at maths. but one day you will tell me you ‘were’ rubbish at maths once.” he said quietly, and with feeling. “Janice, you’ve always been a fighter. Remember what I told you? You can, if you think you can. It’s not just about believing it; it is about you wanting to believe it, it’s also about proving it to yourself. You just have to take that first step toward believing you can do this.” “You’ve got a sharp mind, Janice.” her teacher, Mr. Thompson, said one day after she finally solved a particularly tricky maths problem. “You just need to trust yourself.” Janice was starting to believe in her father’s words. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Janice began to put her heart and soul into mathematics. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The end-of-year exam finally came. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
