It is the eighth time this summer that Guo Xiunan has failed to grow vegetables without chemical pesticides (杀虫剂). After trying various homemade bug sprays (喷剂), such as plant ash, mixtures of pepper, vinegar, alcohol and water, there are still lots of holes in the leaves chewed by beetles .
“I will not give up trying and I will go on with my experiments,” the 29-year-old engineer-turned-farmer says.
Covering 0.67 hectares (公顷) of farmland and 1.33 hectares of woodland and wetland, his farm is located in the suburbs of Hefei, East China’s Anhui province. He is trying to turn it into an organic farm, growing fruits and vegetables with the same flavor of those from his childhood memories. “Growing tasty and healthy food has been my dream since I was a teenager. I know how difficult it can be, but if you take the soil seriously, I believe it will pay off,” Guo says.
He adds that farming is not a business that can make money in a short time, but for him, it became an urgent issue when his father suffered stomach cancer last year, ringing an alarm bell over food safety. Recalling spending time on the farm with his parents as a child, Guo believes the overuse of chemicals in farming is not only damaging the soil, but also people’s health.
After investing more than 100,000 yuan ($13,700) since he rented the farmland last year, and reading many books on agriculture, Guo is in the early stages of fighting the various challenges through trial and error. Meanwhile, he has to develop marketing channels for his products. In March, he uploaded his first post on short-video platform Douyin to introduce his business. His account now has nearly 6,000 followers, which is way above his expectations.
“Maybe it is because I’ve realized their dream life, one that they dare not pursue,” Guo says.
4. What can we know about Guo Xiunan from the passage?
A. He became a farmer after graduation.
B. He spent his childhood on the farm.
C. He’s learning farming from his father.
D. He has made money from his farm.

B. He became eager to grow healthy food.
C. He realized the importance of health.
D. He was encouraged to face challenges.
6. What attracts Guo’s followers on Douyin according to him?

B. His talent in business.
C. His life-choice of farming.

As a teacher for a decade, I find that college kids want to carve their routes and live out their journeys. But so many of them don’t know what they want to do—what major to choose? What career to pursue? What topic to write their papers on? More importantly, they wonder why any of these things really matters.
One of the best books I have read is Dr. Meg Jay’s The Defining Decade. Basically, Dr. Meg Jay explains one’s 20s have an enormous effect across years and even generations to come, in terms of careers, families, friends, and relationships. She states that our brain completes the second and last growth peak in our 20s as it rewires itself for true adulthood.
From the time we are in primary school, people ask us what we want to be when we grow up. I once asked my friend’s eight-year-old the question and she said, “I’m just a kid; I have no way of knowing what I want to be when I’m an adult.” Maybe the questions should be: What means something to you? What makes you happy? What do you care about regardless of any rewards? This train of thought may benefit all.
In a world of easy access, today’s students can find everything they need after a few clicks on the Internet. Sure, that’s great, quick and convenient. But there is something important missed in the hunt persistence(坚持), patience, and concentration. So I’m grateful that when I was in college, I still had to visit the library to find the resources I needed to write a research paper. During this process, I reflected on what truly made me happy and what I genuinely cared about.
My friend Brandon recently told me that he often woke up in the early morning and realized things he cared about were not what he devoted his life to, because he took the way that others considered good when he was in his 20s, instead of the way that was right for him. What you want to be when you grow up is something that may change throughout your life, but it’s likely that your passion and motivation will always come along.
8. What idea does Dr. Meg Jay express in her book?
A. One’s twenties matter a great deal in one’s life.
B. The brain is in its most active stage in our 20s.
C. One’s career choice affects their family members.
D. The old have a long-time influence on the young.
9. Why does the author include a series of questions in Paragraph 3?
A. To help people find out what they truly love.
B. To call on people to make plans for the future.
C. To encourage people to have a positive attitude.
D. To warn people to learn life skills at an early age.
10. What is the author’s attitude towards students’ turning to the Internet?
A. Favorable. B. Optimistic. C. Objective. D. Uncaring.
11. What can we learn from Brandon’s story?
A. Laziness in youth spells regret in old age.
B. Our dreams keep changing throughout life.
C. Our life journey is always full of uncertainties.
D. We should follow our heart and live a full life.
D
We may think we're a culture that gets rid of our worn technology at the first sight of something shiny and new, but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices(装置) well after they go out of style. That’s bad news for the environment — and our wallets — as these outdated devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things.
To figure out how much power these devices are using, Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each product throughout its life — from when its minerals are mined to when we stop using the device. This method provided a readout for how home energy use has evolved since the early 1990s. Devices were grouped by generation — Desktop computers, basic mobile phones, and box-set TVs defined 1992. Digital cameras arrived on the scene in 1997. And MP3 players, smart phones, and LCD TVs entered homes in 2002, before tablets and e-readers showed up in 2007.
As we accumulated more devices, however, we didn't throw out our old ones. "The living-room television is replaced and gets planted in the kids' room, and suddenly one day, you have a TV in every room of the house," said one researcher. The average number of electronic devices rose from four per household in 1992 to 13 in 2007. We're not just keeping these old devices — we continue to use them. According to the analysis of Babbitt's team, old desktop monitors and box TVs with cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy consumption and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions(排放)more than doubling during the 1992 to 2007 window.
So what's the solution(解决方案)? The team's data only went up to 2007, but the researchers also explored what would happen if consumers replaced old products with new electronics that serve more than one function, such as a tablet for word processing and TV viewing. They found that more on-demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%.
12. What does the author think of new devices?
A. They are environment-friendly. B. They are no better than the old.
C They cost more to use at home. D. They go out of style quickly.
13. Why did Babbitt's team conduct the research?
A. To reduce the cost of minerals.
B. To test the life cycle of a product.
C. To update consumers on new technology.
D. To find out electricity consumption of the devices.
14. Which of the following uses the least energy?
A. The box-set TV. B. The tablet.
C. The LCD TV. D. The desktop computer.
15. What does the text suggest people do about old electronic devices?
A. Stop using them. B. Take them apart.
C. Upgrade them. D. Recycle them.

As a teacher for a decade, I find that college kids want to carve their routes and live out their journeys. But so many of them don’t know what they want to do—what major to choose? What career to pursue? What topic to write their papers on? More importantly, they wonder why any of these things really matters.
One of the best books I have read is Dr. Meg Jay’s The Defining Decade. Basically, Dr. Meg Jay explains one’s 20s have an enormous effect across years and even generations to come, in terms of careers, families, friends, and relationships. She states that our brain completes the second and last growth peak in our 20s as it rewires itself for true adulthood.
From the time we are in primary school, people ask us what we want to be when we grow up. I once asked my friend’s eight-year-old the question and she said, “I’m just a kid; I have no way of knowing what I want to be when I’m an adult.” Maybe the questions should be: What means something to you? What makes you happy? What do you care about regardless of any rewards? This train of thought may benefit all.
In a world of easy access, today’s students can find everything they need after a few clicks on the Internet. Sure, that’s great, quick and convenient. But there is something important missed in the hunt persistence(坚持), patience, and concentration. So I’m grateful that when I was in college, I still had to visit the library to find the resources I needed to write a research paper. During this process, I reflected on what truly made me happy and what I genuinely cared about.
My friend Brandon recently told me that he often woke up in the early morning and realized things he cared about were not what he devoted his life to, because he took the way that others considered good when he was in his 20s, instead of the way that was right for him. What you want to be when you grow up is something that may change throughout your life, but it’s likely that your passion and motivation will always come along.
8. What idea does Dr. Meg Jay express in her book?
A. One’s twenties matter a great deal in one’s life.
B. The brain is in its most active stage in our 20s.
C. One’s career choice affects their family members.
D. The old have a long-time influence on the young.
9. Why does the author include a series of questions in Paragraph 3?
A. To help people find out what they truly love.
B. To call on people to make plans for the future.
C. To encourage people to have a positive attitude.
D. To warn people to learn life skills at an early age.
10. What is the author’s attitude towards students’ turning to the Internet?
A Favorable. B. Optimistic. C. Objective. D. Uncaring.
11. What can we learn from Brandon’s story?
A. Laziness in youth spells regret in old age.
B. Our dreams keep changing throughout life.
C. Our life journey is always full of uncertainties.
D. We should follow our heart and live a full life.
【答案】8. A 9. A 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。作者就我们应该成为什么样的人阐述了自己的观点。

细节理解题。由文章第二段“One of the best books I have read is Dr. Meg Jay’s The Defining Decade. Basically, Dr. Meg Jay explains one’s 20s have an enormous effect across years and even generations to come, in terms of careers, families, friends, and relationships. She states that our brain completes the second and last growth peak in our 20s as it rewires itself for true adulthood.(我读过的最好的书之一是Meg Jay博士的《定义的十年》。基本上,Meg Jay博士解释说,一个人的20多岁对未来几年甚至几代人的职业、家庭、朋友和关系都有巨大的影响。她说,我们的大脑在20多岁时完成了第二个也是最后一个生长高峰,因为它为真正的成年重新布线。)”可知,Meg Jay博士认为二十几岁对一个人的一生意义重大。故选A项。

So I’m grateful that when I was in college, I still had to visit the library to find the resources I needed to write a research paper. (在一个容易访问的世界里,今天的学生在互联网上点击几下就可以找到他们需要的一切。当然,这很好,快捷方便。但是,在搜索过程中,有一些重要的东西被遗漏了——坚持、耐心和专注。所以我很感激,当我在大学的时候,我仍然需要去图书馆寻找写研究论文所需的资源。)”可知,作者对学生向互联网寻求答案的态度是客观的,即给予肯定,也讲了弊端。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。与文章最后一段“My friend Brandon recently told me that he often woke up in the early morning and realized things he cared about were not what he devoted his life to, because he took the way that others considered good when he was in his 20s, instead of the way that was right for him. What you want to be when you grow up is something that may change throughout your life, but it’s likely that your passion and motivation will always come along.(我的朋友Brandon最近告诉我,他经常在凌晨醒来,意识到自己关心的事情并不是他一生所致力的,因为他在20多岁时采取了别人认为好的方式,而不是适合他的方式。你长大后想要成为什么样的人,这可能会在你的一生中发生变化,但你的激情和动力很可能会一直伴随着你。)”可知,作者通过Brandon的故事想说我们应该随心而动,过上充实的生活。故选D项。

We may think we're a culture that gets rid of our worn technology at the first sight of something shiny and new, but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices(装置) well after they go out of style. That’s bad news for the environment — and our wallets — as these outdated devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things.
To figure out how much power these devices are using, Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each product throughout its life — from when its minerals are mined to when we stop using the device. This method provided a readout for how home energy use has evolved since the early 1990s. Devices were grouped by generation — Desktop computers, basic mobile phones, and box-set TVs defined 1992. Digital cameras arrived on the scene in 1997. And MP3 players, smart phones, and LCD TVs entered homes in 2002, before tablets and e-readers showed up in 2007.
As we accumulated more devices, however, we didn't throw out our old ones. "The living-room television is replaced and gets planted in the kids' room, and suddenly one day, you have a TV in every room of the house," said one researcher. The average number of electronic devices rose from four per household in 1992 to 13 in 2007. We're not just keeping these old devices — we continue to use them. According to the analysis of Babbitt's team, old desktop monitors and box TVs with cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy consumption and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions(排放)more than doubling during the 1992 to 2007 window.
So what's the solution(解决方案)? The team's data only went up to 2007, but the researchers also explored what would happen if consumers replaced old products with new electronics that serve more than one function, such as a tablet for word processing and TV viewing. They found that more on-demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%.
12. What does the author think of new devices?
A. They are environment-friendly. B. They are no better than the old.
C. They cost more to use at home. D. They go out of style quickly.
13. Why did Babbitt's team conduct the research?
A. To reduce the cost of minerals.
B. To test the life cycle of a product.
C. To update consumers on new technology.
D. To find out electricity consumption of the devices.
14. Which of the following uses the least energy?
A. The box-set TV. B. The tablet.
C. The LCD TV. D. The desktop computer.
15. What does the text suggest people do about old electronic devices?
A. Stop using them. B. Take them apart.
C. Upgrade them. D. Recycle them.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇科普说明文。文章指出纽约罗彻斯特理工学院的Callie Babbitt和她的同事研究证实:旧电子设备要比新设备耗能高,所以作者主张使用新电子设备,既经济又环保。
【12题详解】
观点态度题。根据文章第一段中的That’s bad news for the environment – and our wallets – as these outdated devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things.可知,使用旧的电子设备对环境和我们的钱包都是坏消息。这些过时的设备做相同的事情要消耗比新设备更多的能量。由此推知作者认为新电子设备环保、节能。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的To figure out how much power these devices are using, Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each product throughout its life可知,Babbitt’s team研究的目的是弄清楚这些设备用了多少电。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中的They found that more on-demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%.可知,平板电脑是耗能最少的电子设备,可以降低44%的耗能。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章的整体内容可知,因为旧的电子设备耗能高,不环保。所以作者建议停止使用旧的电子设备。故选A。
点睛:熟悉比较句型是彻底理解本文的关键,也是解题的关键。本文中的比较句型:
1. That’s bad news for the environment – and our wallets – as these outdated devices consume much more energy than the news ones that do the same things
做同样的事,旧的过时的装置比新装置消耗更多能源,对环境有害,浪费钱财。
2. According to the analysis of Babbitt’s team, old desktop monitors and box TVs with cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy consumption and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions (排放) more than doubling during the 1992 to 2007 window.
根据Babbitt团队的分析,旧的桌面显示器和阴极射线管箱式电视机是最差的电子设备,它们的耗能和温室气体的排放是1992到2007window的两倍还多。
3. They found that more on-demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%.他们发现在平板电脑上看的随需变化的娱乐节目比在电视和电脑上看耗能减少了44%。

【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。主要讲述了在计划游览丝绸之路时需要考虑的几方面。
【16题详解】
根据本段的小标题 Language 可知本段主要介绍的是语言。结合下文“However, some ethnic groups began learning Mandarin(普通话) and adopted the lifestyle of the Han people.”(然而,一些民族开始学习普通话,并采用了汉族人的生活方式)可知,空后转折说出一些民族开始学习普通话,故B项“他们一些人说自己的语言”符合,B项中的 them 指代空前的20 different nationalities,且与空后构成转折关系,尽管他们说自己的语言,但是一些民族开始学习普通话。故选B项。
【17题详解】
根据空前“Chinese became the official language in the autonomous regions.”(汉语成为了这些自治区的官方语言)可知,现在汉语在这些民族中用起来比较方便。G项“现在,汉语很容易地在这些民族中使用”符合题意,与上文承接自然,因为汉语成了官方语言,因此能在这些地方很容易地使用汉语。故选G项。
【18题详解】
根据本段的小标题“Accommodations(膳宿)”并结合空格前的句子“In big cities like Dunhuang, Urmqi, Lanzhou, visitors can enjoy high standard hotels. They all provide excellent conditions, good services and they are quite safe.”(在敦煌、乌鲁木齐、兰州等大城市,游客可以享受到高标准的酒店。它们都提供良好的条件和服务,而且很安全)可知,空前提出了高标准的酒店,故D选项“但是这种酒店也是最贵的”符合语境,与前文构成转折关系,说出这些高标准酒店都很昂贵,并引出后文较便宜的小型旅馆。故选D项。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Visitors without money may consider the cheaper guesthouses because these guesthouses with simpler equipment and basic service are fit enough to live in for most Chinese travellers. In the remote villages, only simple accommodations are available.”(没有钱的游客可以考虑更便宜的宾馆,因为这些拥有更简单的设备和基本服务的宾馆适合大多数中国旅行者居住。在偏远的村庄里,只有简陋的住所可以使用)可知,空前介绍的是在偏僻的村庄的住宿情况,所以F项“这些地方只提供了一个非常简单的房间”符合语境,下文是对上文的语意递进,上下文语意连贯。故选F项。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Buses are the most inexpensive method of transport along the Silk Road, but unfortunately they are very slow.”(公共汽车是丝绸之路沿线最便宜的交通工具,但不幸的是,它们速度非常慢)和下文“A travel by car can be the only way to visit sites far from cities or towns that would otherwise be hard to reach.”(开车旅行是参观远离城市或城镇的景点的唯一途径,否则很难到达))可知,上文提到的是公共汽车,下文提到了小汽车,故E项“一些旅行社和酒店提供汽车”符合,公共汽车是最便宜的,但却是最慢的,因此可以选择一些旅行社和酒店提供的汽车,因此下文乘坐汽车的旅行。故选E项。

Twins Katie and Sarah Monahan arrived at Pennsylvania’s Gettysburg College. They are determined to strike out on independent paths. Although the 18-year-old sisters had requested rooms in different dormitory, the housing office placed them on the eighth floor of the same building, across the hall from each other.
Katie was a very lovely and kind-hearted girl. She always did her best to prevent others from any problem. Once the dormitory was out of electricity and her roommate, Windy was studying in the classroom only leaving Katie alone in the dormitory at that time. Katie had just finished her favourite horrible American TV series. She felt very scared. But she didn’t want to disturb Windy, so she just stayed in the dark dormitory alone till Windy got back to the dormitory. Windy was a nice girl too. She gave Katie a lot of comfort and care. She would like to make Katie relax after stressful study. She often shared her happiness with Katie. They lived a very happy life together.
While Katie got along with her roommate, Sarah was having difficulty in dealing with the relationship with her roommate.
Sarah liked quiet, while her roommate, Lily spent two hours a day practising the guitar, or turned up her sound system to the point where the whole room vibrates (颤动). Sarah was always cold. but Lily never wanted to turn on the heat, even though it was snowing heavily outside. Sarah liked wearing fur in winter and she also enjoyed cutting up frogs in biology class. But Lily is an vegetarian (素食主义者) and believed all living things are holy (神圣的), even ants and mosquitoes. She and her roommate silently warred over matters ranging from when the lights should be turned off to how the furniture should be arranged. Finally, they gave up communicating.
One day. there was a dormitory contest, which needed roommates to join hands to decorate their dormitory. Sarah wanted to win in the contest but she thought it was impossible for her to finish it because she didn’t talk with Lily.
