It was a label stuck to me and all people had to do was to refer to the imaginary label and they would know how to address me. I wanted to defeat Aaron, whose fame had reduced me to a nameless tennis player. Then the day eventually approached. As I shook Aaron's hand at the start of the match, I stared at him with determination. “I’m going to beat you today.” I gathered the confidence to claim over the outcome of the match. Aaron laughed carelessly as he turned his back towards me. For a brief moment, I regretted that display of over-confidence. I nervously shifted my weight from one foot to the other. The tennis court seemed to stretch out further than usual. My sweaty hands tightened around my racket (球拍) — the fifth one passed down to me from Aaron.We entered into a heated fight. I was persevering as expected, and I was not sure how long it would take before I withdrew. We were down to the last round, neck and neck in points. I made a mistake, then Aaron leaped up, stretching his arm out. The sun cast his image over me, reminding me that I would always be walking in his shadow if I couldn’t prove myself. I readied myself for the finishing blow, images of Aaron’s past matches flooding through my mind. I recalled the habit of his hit in the World Tennis Tournament, extending my arm to the left in anticipation of where the ball was going to land. The ball made contact with my racket and was lobbed(吊高球) over Aaron’s head. He could do nothing but witness his undefeated status being erased by his younger brother. While I was still enjoying the unfamiliar feeling of victory a man whom I recognised from a professional club approached me.“What is your name, son?” he asked. A smile spread across my face. 4. What used to trouble the writer? A. The longing for recognition. B. The eagerness to bear labels. C. The desire to be a tennis player. D. The hardship of physical training. 5.

It was a label stuck to me and all people had to do was to refer to the imaginary label and they would know how to address me. I wanted to defeat Aaron, whose fame had reduced me to a nameless tennis player. Then the day eventually approached.(“亚伦的弟弟”的称号是在我六岁的时候给我的。这是一个贴在我身上的标签，人们所要做的就是引用这个想象中的标签，他们就会知道如何称呼我。我想打败亚伦，他的名气让我变成了一个无名的网球运动员。然后这一天终于来临了。)”可知，哥哥的名气一直困扰着我，我非常渴望被认可，故选A项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“As I shook Aaron’s hand at the start of the match, I stared at him with determination. “I’m going to beat you today.” I gathered the confidence to claim over the outcome of the match.( 比赛开始时，当我和亚伦握手时，我坚定地看着他。“我今天要打败你。”我鼓起信心宣布比赛结果。) ”可知，作者在比赛开始时是非常乐观的，故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“I recalled the habit of his hit in the World Tennis Tournament, extending my arm to the left in anticipation of where the ball was going to land. The ball made contact with my racket and was lobbed(吊高球) over Aaron’s head. He could do nothing but witness his undefeated status being erased by his younger brother.(我回忆起他在世界网球锦标赛上击球的习惯，向左边伸出手臂，期待着球落在那里。球碰到了我的球拍，从亚伦的头上被抛了过去。他只能目睹自己的不败地位被弟弟抹去。)”可知，亚伦采用了往常的技巧，被作者预估到，提前采取了措施，故选A项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“The title of “Aaron’s younger brother” was given to me at the age of six.

The screen uses tiny dots known as pixels (像素) that consist of three primary colors: red, green and blue. By mixing these colors in different ways, your phone can show you everything from beautiful beach scenes to cute puppies. Now imagine something similar for smells. Scientists are developing digital scent technology that uses a small number of different cartridges (暗盒), each containing a specific scent. Just like how pixels mix the three basic colors to create images, these scent cartridges could mix to create different smells. Just as images on your phone are made of digital codes that represent combinations of pixels, smells produced by a future phone could be created through digital codes. Each smell could have a specific recipe made up of different amounts of the ingredients in the cartridges. When you receive a digital scent code, your phone could mix tiny amounts of the different scents from the cartridges to create the desired smell. This mix would then be released through a small vent on the phone, allowing you to smell it. With just a few cartridges, your phone could potentially create a huge variety of smells, much like how red, green and blue pixels can create countless colors. Creating a phone that can produce smells involves several challenges. One is designing a system that can produce thousands of different smells using only a few cartridges. Another is how to control how strong a scent should be and how long a phone should send it out. And phones will also need to sense odors near them and convert those to digital codes so your friends’ phones can send smells to you. The cartridges should also be easy to refill, and the chemicals in them should be safe to breathe. These hurdles make it a tricky but exciting area of research. 8. What enables a phone screen to present diverse visual contents? A. Special sensors detecting colors. B. A unique way for color reflection. C. Advanced software for image generation. D. Pixels of three primary colors in combination. 9. What can we learn about digital scent? A. It is created by using cartridges. B. It’s a fully-developed technology. C. It comes from the same cartridges. D. It is related to images on mobile phones. 10. What is one of the troubles scientists face when developing digital scent technology? A. Creating new scents that don’t exist in nature. B. Regulating the intensity and duration of scents. C. Combining all primary colors to produce one smell. D. Finding a way to emit scents that last for a long time. 11. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Technology that can combine colors to create images B. Challenges faced by digital scent technology C. The development and potential of digital scent technology D. The history and future of complex phone technology 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了数字气味技术，包括它的开发过程和潜力，以及其面临的诸多挑战。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The screen uses tiny dots known as pixels (像素) that consist of three primary colors: red, green and blue. By mixing these colors in different ways, your phone can show you everything from beautiful beach scenes to cute puppies.(屏幕上的小点被称为像素，由三种原色组成：红、绿、蓝。通过以不同的方式混合这些颜色，你的手机可以显示从美丽的海滩景色到可爱的小狗的一切内容。)”可知，像素三种颜色的结合可以使手机屏幕呈现多样化的视觉内容。故选D项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Just like how pixels mix the three basic colors to create images, these scent cartridges could mix to create different smells.(就像像素如何混合三种基本颜色来创建图像一样，这些暗盒可以混合产生不同的气味。)”可知，数字气味的生成依赖于使用不同的暗盒。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Another is how to control how strong a scent should be and how long a phone should send it out.(另一个挑战是如何控制气味的强度以及手机发出气味的时间。)”可知，科学家在开发数字气味技术时面临的困难之一是调节气味的强度和持续时间。故选B项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第二段中“Scientists are developing digital scent technology that uses a small number of different cartridges (暗盒), each containing a specific scent.(科学家们正在开发数字气味技术，该技术使用少量不同的暗盒，每个暗盒含有一种特定的气味。)”和第三段中“When you receive a digital scent code, your phone could mix tiny amounts of the different scents from the cartridges to create the desired smell.(当你收到一个数字气味代码时，你的手机可以混合暗盒中的少量不同气味，以产生想要的气味。)”以及第四段中“Creating a phone that can produce smells involves several challenges.(制造一款可以产生气味的手机包括几个挑战。)”可知，本文主要介绍了数字气味技术，包括它的开发过程和潜力，以及其面临的诸多挑战，C项“数字气味技术的发展和潜力”符合题意。故选C项。 D Recently, campaigners have encouraged us to buy local food. This reduces “food miles”, that is, the distance food travels to get from the producer to the retailer. They reason that the higher the food miles, the more carbon emissions. Buying local food, therefore, has a lower carbon footprint and is more environmentally friendly. However, the real story is not as simple as that. If our aim is to reduce carbon emissions, we must look at the whole farming process, not just transportation. Other processes, including fertilization, storage, heating and irrigation, contribute much more. In fact, imported food often has a lower carbon footprint than locally grown food. Take apples for example. In autumn, when apples are harvested, the best option for a British resident is to buy British apples. However, the apples we buy in winter or spring have been kept refrigerated for months, and this uses up a lot of energy. In spring, therefore, it is more energy- efficient to import them from New Zealand, where they are in season. Heating also uses a lot of energy, which is why growing tomatoes in heated greenhouses in the UK is less environmentally friendly than importing them from Spain, where the crop grows well in the local climate. We must also take into account the type of transport. Transporting food by air creates about 50 times more emissions than shipping it. However, only a small proportion of goods are flown to the consumer country, and these are usually high value, perishable items which we cannot produce locally. Even then, these foods may not have a higher carbon footprint than locally grown food. For example, beans flown in from Kenya are grown in sunny fields using manual labour and natural fertilizers, unlike in Britain, where we use oil-based fertilizers and diesel machinery. Therefore, the total carbon footprint is still lower. It’s also worth remembering that a product’s journey does not end at the supermarket. The distance consumers travel to buy their food, and the kind of transport they use will also add to its carbon footprint. So driving a long way to shop for food will negate any environmental benefits of buying locally grown produce. Recently, some supermarkets have been trying to raise awareness of food miles too. But ultimately, the measures are too simple. Lots of different factors contribute to a food’s carbon footprint besides the distance it has travelled. 12. Why is importing apples from New Zealand more energy-efficient for British residents in spring? A. It reduces food miles. B. British apples are in short supply. C. New Zealand apples are cheaper. D. British apples have been stored under energy-consuming conditions. 13. Which of the following statements is correct according to the passage? A. All imported food has a higher carbon footprint than locally grow n food. B. Beans flown in from Kenya have higher carbon footprints than grown in Britain. C. Transporting food by air always results in a higher carbon footprint than growing local food. D. Only considering food miles is an oversimplified way to assess a food’s environmental impact. 14. The underlined word “negate” in paragraph 5 probably means ________. A. enhance B. ignore C. cancel out D. misunderstand 15. What is the author’s attitude towards buying local food? A. Strongly supportive. B. Completely opposed. C. Cautiously skeptical. D. Somewhat indifferent. 【答案】12. D 13. D 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，讨论了购买本地食物是否真的更环保这一问题。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“However, the apples we buy in winter or spring have been kept refrigerated for months, and this uses up a lot of energy. In spring, therefore, it is more energy-efficient to import them from New Zealand, where they are in season. (然而，我们在冬季或春季购买的苹果已经冷藏了数月，这会消耗大量能源。因此，在春季，从新西兰进口苹果更节能，因为那里的苹果正当季。)”可知，这两句话明确指出英国在春季时，苹果已被冷藏数月，处于耗能状态，所以从新西兰进口苹果更节能。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段中的“If our aim is to reduce carbon emissions, we must look at the whole farming process, not just transportation. (如果我们的目标是减少碳排放，我们必须考虑整个农业生产过程，而不仅仅是运输。)”以及最后一段中的“Lots of different factors contribute to a food’s carbon footprint besides the distance it has travelled. (除了食物运输的距离之外，还有许多不同的因素会影响食物的碳足迹。)”可知，只考虑食物里程来评估食物对环境的影响过于简单，与D选项相符。故选D。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第五段“It’s also worth remembering that a product’s journey does not end at the supermarket. The distance consumers travel to buy their food, and the kind of transport they use will also add to its carbon footprint. (同样值得记住的是，产品的旅程并不在超市结束。消费者购买食物所走的距离以及他们使用的交通方式也会增加食物的碳足迹。)”以及“So driving a long way to shop for food (开车很远去购买食物)”可知，所以，会使得购买本地种植产品的任何环境效益都无效。“negate”表示使无效，与“cancel out (抵消)”意思相近。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“However, the real story is not as simple as that. (然而，实际情况并非如此简单。)”以及文章第五段“It’s also worth remembering that a product’s journey does not end at the supermarket. The distance consumers travel to buy their food, and the kind of transport they use will also add to its carbon footprint. (同样值得记住的是，产品的旅程并不在超市结束。消费者购买食物所走的距离以及他们使用的交通方式也会增加食物的碳足迹。)”及全文可知，文章通过分析不同因素对食物碳足迹的影响，可以看出作者的谨慎怀疑态度。故选C。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Have you ever thought about pouring used cooking oil down the sink? Just turn on the tap and flush (冲走) it all away. ___16___ Not only does this bad habit cause problems in your house, backyard, or neighborhood, but pouring such substances down the sink also creates widespread problems for the entire wastewater system and the workers responsible for its maintenance. The smooth day-to-day operation of our wastewater collection and treatment relies on the cooperation of people to “do the right thing”. Many water management authorities across Australia are in broad agreement: Please don’t pour oils down the sink. They all offer advice on far better alternatives. But the water industry has no control over what we do in the privacy of our homes. ____17____ When still hot, oils are often liquid and can be easily poured away. But down in the sewer (下水道) pipes, they rapidly cool and solidify.___18___ According to Western Australia’s Water Corporation, it is estimated that 30% of sewer blockages are due to oils. ___19___ Think about hair and so-called “flushable wipes”. They can build up over time, creating “fatbergs”: horrible masses of wipes, hair,hardened oils and other waste. Oils act as the glue that helps fatbergs build up at choke points in sewer systems. There are more responsible ways of handling oils than just flushing them away. ___20___ Small amounts of cooking oil can safely be composted (制成堆肥). Even just pouring oils into the rubbish is better. But remember, you may need to cool hot oils down before putting them into the bin. A. It is really up to us. B. Please don’t do that. C. Blocked sewers are bad for us. D. Some engines can run on cooking oil. E. This is a serious and common problem. F. Cooking oil can actually be recycled and used to make biofuels. G. Oils also cause trouble by combining with other flushed-away materials. 【答案】16. B 17. A 18. E 19. G 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了将用过的食用油倒入下水道会带来一系列问题，并给出了处理食用油更负责任的方法。 【16题详解】 上文“Have you ever thought about pouring used cooking oil down the sink? Just turn on the tap and flush it all away.(你有没有想过把用过的食用油倒进下水道？只要打开水龙头，把它们全部冲走。)”提出了一个设想，即把用过的食用油倒进下水道里然后冲走，下文“Not only does this bad habit cause problems in your house, backyard, or neighborhood, but pouring such substances down the sink also creates widespread problems for the entire wastewater system and the workers responsible for its maintenance.(这种坏习惯不仅会给你的房子、后院或邻居带来问题，而且将这类物质倒入下水道还会给整个废水系统以及负责维护该系统的工作人员带来广泛的问题。)”指出了这种习惯带来的问题，由此可知，把用过的食用油倒进下水道然后冲走是一个坏习惯，会带来一系列问题，所以空白处应是对这一设想的否定，即不要这样做。B选项“请不要这样做”符合语境。故选B。 【17题详解】 根据上文“But the water industry has no control over what we do in the privacy of our homes.(但水务行业无法控制我们在家中私密空间的行为。)”可知，水务行业无法控制我们在家里的行为，所以处理用过的食用油这件事取决于我们自己。A选项“这真的取决于我们”承接上文，符合语境。故选A。 【18题详解】 根据上文“When still hot, oils are often liquid and can be easily poured away. But down in the sewer pipes, they rapidly cool and solidify.(油在热的时候通常是液体，可以很容易地倒掉。但在下水道管道里，它们会迅速冷却并凝固。)”可知，油在下水道管道里会迅速冷却并凝固，这是一个严重而普遍的问题。E选项“这是一个严重而普遍的问题”符合语境。故选E。 【19题详解】 根据下文“Think about hair and so-called ‘flushable wipes’. They can build up over time, creating ‘fatbergs’: horrible masses of wipes, hair, hardened oils and other waste. Oils act as the glue that helps fatbergs build up at choke points in sewer systems.(想想头发和所谓的‘可冲洗湿巾’。随着时间的推移，它们会不断积累，形成‘脂肪山’：可怕的湿巾、头发、硬化的油脂和其他废物的堆积。油脂就像胶水一样，帮助脂肪山在下水道系统的堵塞点堆积起来。)”可知，油还会与其他被冲走的物质结合，从而造成麻烦，G选项中的also表示递进关系，G选项“油还会与其他被冲走的物质结合，从而造成麻烦”引出下文，符合语境。故选G。 【20题详解】 根据上文“There are more responsible ways of handling oils than just flushing them away.(处理油脂的方法有很多，比仅仅把它们冲走更负责任。)和下文“Small amounts of cooking oil can safely be composted. Even just pouring oils into the rubbish is better. But remember, you may need to cool hot oils down before putting them into the bin.(少量的食用油可以安全地堆肥。甚至只是把油倒进垃圾里也比冲走好。但要记住，把油放进垃圾桶之前，你可能需要先把热油冷却。)”可知，本段介绍了一些处理食用油的更负责任的方法，F选项“食用油实际上可以回收并用来制造生物燃料”也是处理食用油的一种更负责任的方法，符合语境。故选F。 第三部分 语言知识运用（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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I sat alone in the laboratory, staring at the blank wall. “It doesn’t work no matter what I do!” I thought with ___21___.

What 43. finally 44. as 45. a 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国动漫产业的迅速崛起以及获得巨大成功的中国动漫《哪吒》的创作理念和过程。 【36题详解】 考查时态和语态。句意：第一部日本卡通彩色电影《白蛇传》改编自中国著名的传说《白蛇传》，于1958年上映。根据时间状语in 1958，可知发生在过去的事情，用一般过去时；“白蛇传”和“改编”之间是被动关系，用被动语态，“白蛇传”是第三人称单数，谓语动词用单数，所以填was adapted。 【37题详解】 考查定语从句。____2____ was based on Chinese children's book Ma Liang With the Magical Pen是一个非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词The Magical Pen，关系词在从句中作主语，指物，that不能引导非限制性定语从句，用which引导该从句，所以填which。 【38题详解】 考查副词。句意：然而，在接下来的几年里，中国的动漫产业落后了。上文说“中国的动画片获得了几个国际奖项”，而这里说“中国的动漫产业落后了”，它们之间形成一种转折关系，用副词however，句子第一个单词首字母大写，所以填However。 【39题详解】 考查名词。句意：但近年来，中国动漫产业发展迅速。形容词fast后用名词，所以填growth。 【40题详解】 考查非谓语动词。____5____ (beat) down the Hollywood movie Zootopia in China.在句中作结果状语，beat与其逻辑主语Ne Zha之间是主动关系，用现在分词，所以填beating。 【41题详解】 考查固定句型。句意：导演杨花了五年时间将这个故事搬上了大银幕，使它既适合儿童也适合成人。It takes sb. some time to do sth.花费某人多长时间做某事，该句型是固定句型，其中it是形式主语，真正的主语是后面的不定式结构，所以填to bring。 【42题详解】 考查主语从句。___7___ surprised the audience most是一个主语从句，引导词在从句中作主语，表示“让观众最吃惊的事情”，用what引导该从句，句子第一个单词首字母大写，所以填What。 【43题详解】 考查副词。句意：最让观众惊讶的是，在30多个不同的哪吒的潜在形象中，杨最终选择了这个熊猫眼、懒散的男孩作为他的主角，挑战人们对这个熟悉的形象的印象。该空修饰动词picked，用副词形式，所以填finally。 【44题详解】 考查介词。句意：最让观众惊讶的是，在30多个不同的哪吒的潜在形象中，杨最终选择了这个熊猫眼、懒散的男孩作为他的主角，挑战人们对这个熟悉的形象的印象。文中表示“作为……”所以填as。 【45题详解】 考查冠词。句意：毋庸置疑，《哪吒》对于中国动漫产业来说是一个巨大的成功。 success 作为“成功的人或事情”是可数名词。文中泛指“一个巨大的成功”，big是以辅音音素开头的词，所以填不定冠词a。 第四部分 任务型阅读（共两节，满分20分） 根据文本内容选择恰当的词，并使用正确形式填入文本图示中，每词限用一次，有两词为多余选项。 I grew up in a poor family with six brothers, three sisters, my father and mother.

It was a label stuck to me and all people had to do was to refer to the imaginary label and they would know how to address me. I wanted to defeat Aaron, whose fame had reduced me to a nameless tennis player. Then the day eventually approached. As I shook Aaron's hand at the start of the match, I stared at him with determination. “I’m going to beat you today.” I gathered the confidence to claim over the outcome of the match. Aaron laughed carelessly as he turned his back towards me. For a brief moment, I regretted that display of over-confidence. I nervously shifted my weight from one foot to the other. The tennis court seemed to stretch out further than usual. My sweaty hands tightened around my racket (球拍) — the fifth one passed down to me from Aaron.We entered into a heated fight. I was persevering as expected, and I was not sure how long it would take before I withdrew. We were down to the last round, neck and neck in points. I made a mistake, then Aaron leaped up, stretching his arm out. The sun cast his image over me, reminding me that I would always be walking in his shadow if I couldn’t prove myself. I readied myself for the finishing blow, images of Aaron’s past matches flooding through my mind. I recalled the habit of his hit in the World Tennis Tournament, extending my arm to the left in anticipation of where the ball was going to land. The ball made contact with my racket and was lobbed(吊高球) over Aaron’s head. He could do nothing but witness his undefeated status being erased by his younger brother. While I was still enjoying the unfamiliar feeling of victory, a man whom I recognised from a professional club approached me.“What is your name, son?” he asked. A smile spread across my face. 4. What used to trouble the writer? A. The longing for recognition. B. The eagerness to bear labels. C. The desire to be a tennis player. D. The hardship of physical training. 5. How did the writer feel at the beginning of the match? A. Defeated. B. Anxious. C. Optimistic. D. Honored. 6. What can we learn about Aaron from paragraph 4? A. He adopted his usual trick in the match. B. He purchased a tennis racket for the writer. C. He had an obvious advantage in the last round. D. He withdrew from the World Tennis Tournament. 7. Which is the best title for the text? A. The Price for One Mistake B. From Nobody to Somebody C. Why Brotherhood Matters D. Aaron's Last-minute Victory C Your phone has a screen that displays images and videos. The screen uses tiny dots known as pixels (像素) that consist of three primary colors: red, green and blue. By mixing these colors in different ways, your phone can show you everything from beautiful beach scenes to cute puppies. Now imagine something similar for smells. Scientists are developing digital scent technology that uses a small number of different cartridges (暗盒), each containing a specific scent. Just like how pixels mix the three basic colors to create images, these scent cartridges could mix to create different smells. Just as images on your phone are made of digital codes that represent combinations of pixels, smells produced by a future phone could be created through digital codes. Each smell could have a specific recipe made up of different amounts of the ingredients in the cartridges. When you receive a digital scent code, your phone could mix tiny amounts of the different scents from the cartridges to create the desired smell. This mix would then be released through a small vent on the phone, allowing you to smell it. With just a few cartridges, your phone could potentially create a huge variety of smells, much like how red, green and blue pixels can create countless colors. Creating a phone that can produce smells involves several challenges. One is designing a system that can produce thousands of different smells using only a few cartridges. Another is how to control how strong a scent should be and how long a phone should send it out. And phones will also need to sense odors near them and convert those to digital codes so your friends’ phones can send smells to you. The cartridges should also be easy to refill, and the chemicals in them should be safe to breathe. These hurdles make it a tricky but exciting area of research. 8.

Challenges faced by digital scent technology C. The development and potential of digital scent technology D. The history and future of complex phone technology D Recently, campaigners have encouraged us to buy local food. This reduces “food miles”, that is, the distance food travels to get from the producer to the retailer. They reason that the higher the food miles, the more carbon emissions. Buying local food, therefore, has a lower carbon footprint and is more environmentally friendly. However, the real story is not as simple as that. If our aim is to reduce carbon emissions, we must look at the whole farming process, not just transportation. Other processes, including fertilization, storage, heating and irrigation, contribute much more. In fact, imported food often has a lower carbon footprint than locally grown food. Take apples for example. In autumn, when apples are harvested, the best option for a British resident is to buy British apples. However, the apples we buy in winter or spring have been kept refrigerated for months, and this uses up a lot of energy. In spring, therefore, it is more energy- efficient to import them from New Zealand, where they are in season. Heating also uses a lot of energy, which is why growing tomatoes in heated greenhouses in the UK is less environmentally friendly than importing them from Spain, where the crop grows well in the local climate. We must also take into account the type of transport. Transporting food by air creates about 50 times more emissions than shipping it. However, only a small proportion of goods are flown to the consumer country, and these are usually high value, perishable items which we cannot produce locally. Even then, these foods may not have a higher carbon footprint than locally grown food. For example, beans flown in from Kenya are grown in sunny fields using manual labour and natural fertilizers, unlike in Britain, where we use oil-based fertilizers and diesel machinery. Therefore, the total carbon footprint is still lower. It’s also worth remembering that a product’s journey does not end at the supermarket. The distance consumers travel to buy their food, and the kind of transport they use will also add to its carbon footprint. So driving a long way to shop for food will negate any environmental benefits of buying locally grown produce. Recently, some supermarkets have been trying to raise awareness of food miles too. But ultimately, the measures are too simple. Lots of different factors contribute to a food’s carbon footprint besides the distance it has travelled. 12. Why is importing apples from New Zealand more energy-efficient for British residents in spring? A. It reduces food miles. B. British apples are in short supply. C. New Zealand apples are cheaper. D. British apples have been stored under energy-consuming conditions. 13. Which of the following statements is correct according to the passage? A. All imported food has a higher carbon footprint than locally grow n food. B. Beans flown in from Kenya have higher carbon footprints than grown in Britain. C. Transporting food by air always results in a higher carbon footprint than growing local food. D. Only considering food miles is an oversimplified way to assess a food’s environmental impact. 14. The underlined word “negate” in paragraph 5 probably means ________. A. enhance B. ignore C. cancel out D. misunderstand 15. What is the author’s attitude towards buying local food? A. Strongly supportive. B. Completely opposed. C. Cautiously skeptical. D. Somewhat indifferent. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Have you ever thought about pouring used cooking oil down the sink? Just turn on the tap and flush (冲走) it all away. ___16___ Not only does this bad habit cause problems in your house, backyard, or neighborhood, but pouring such substances down the sink also creates widespread problems for the entire wastewater system and the workers responsible for its maintenance. The smooth day-to-day operation of our wastewater collection and treatment relies on the cooperation of people to “do the right thing”. Many water management authorities across Australia are in broad agreement: Please don’t pour oils down the sink. They all offer advice on far better alternatives. But the water industry has no control over what we do in the privacy of our homes. ____17____ When still hot, oils are often liquid and can be easily poured away. But down in the sewer (下水道) pipes, they rapidly cool and solidify.___18___ According to Western Australia’s Water Corporation, it is estimated that 30% of sewer blockages are due to oils. ___19___ Think about hair and so-called “flushable wipes”. They can build up over time, creating “fatbergs”: horrible masses of wipes, hair,hardened oils and other waste. Oils act as the glue that helps fatbergs build up at choke points in sewer systems. There are more responsible ways of handling oils than just flushing them away. ___20___ Small amounts of cooking oil can safely be composted (制成堆肥). Even just pouring oils into the rubbish is better. But remember, you may need to cool hot oils down before putting them into the bin. A. It is really up to us. B. Please don’t do that. C. Blocked sewers are bad for us. D. Some engines can run on cooking oil. E. This is a serious and common problem. F. Cooking oil can actually be recycled and used to make biofuels. G. Oils also cause trouble by combining with other flushed-away materials. 第三部分 语言知识运用（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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I sat alone in the laboratory, staring at the blank wall. “It doesn’t work no matter what I do!” I thought with ___21___.
