A
(2025·南通模拟)Working at a bank in New York City in the mid-2010s, Anna Sacks was not living the life she wanted.Sure, she was happy.But she wanted to do something that felt important.
Some people seeking meaning might read a self-help book or perhaps volunteer a few hours a week.Sacks packed up her life and moved to Connecticut to participate in Adamah, a farming program that focuses on sustainable living and growing sustainable food.When she returned to New York, her life was with a new purpose and many new skills to make her dreams a reality.
“One of the things that really stuck with me from Adamah was how little waste they produced and how they handled the waste they did have, primarily through composting (堆肥),” she says.The Adamah program opened Sacks' eyes to the damage consumer culture is doing on a local, national, and global level, and the need to find solutions.So in 2017, she began what she calls “trash walking”.
During tours around her community, Sacks picks through garbage to look for reusable items.Soon, her “trash walking” expanded to include corporate trash along with residential trash.Surprisingly, she discovered a wide range of really great stuff — like clothing, decorations, and food — all of which she documents on the social platform.
Under the name of The Trash Walker, Sacks quickly gained popularity for her videos that highlight the problems with consumerism.“The root issue is overproduction, which leads to overconsumption, which leads to a large amount of waste,” she says.
The fact is, companies often choose to trash items rather than give them away to people who might need them.A big reason for this waste is the way our current tax laws are structured, Sacks says.Sellers who destroy goods can claim the cost as a loss on their taxes and be refunded.If they give away goods, they can claim only a small amount as a charitable reduction on their taxes.
Sacks' main focus is simply getting people to pay attention to how many unnecessary things they buy and then throw away.“Once you become aware of the way you consume, you can see ways you improve,” she says.

(2025·菏泽模拟)The award-winning documentary “Feeding Tomorrow” explores the American food system's shortcomings and the urgent need for change.Directed by Oliver and Simon English, the film dives deep into the complex web of issues surrounding food, climate change, and agriculture, leaving viewers with a clear realization of the challenges ahead.
At its core, “Feeding Tomorrow” raises fundamental questions about humanity's relationship with the planet and the consequences of our consumption patterns.As the global population reaches up to 10 billion, the film shows the serious reality that our current methods of food production are unsustainable.With agriculture already occupying half of the habitable land and consuming 70% of freshwater resources, the harm on the environment is reaching critical levels.
The documentary reveals the interconnectedness of food, climate, and health, weaving together narratives from diverse voices in the fields of farming, health, and education.Through the stories of innovators like Mark Shepard, Clare Fox, and Lisa McDowell, “Feeding Tomorrow” highlights the urgent need for systemic change.
One of the central themes of the documentary is the importance of regenerative farming practices.By promoting biodiversity and topsoil growth, regenerative agriculture offers a promising path towards sustainability.The film emphasizes the need to transition from conventional, monoculture (单一) farming to more overall approaches.
Moreover, “Feeding Tomorrow” shows the significance of adopting plant-forward diets and reducing meat consumption.With animal agriculture being a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions and environmental degradation (恶化), the documentary advocates for a shift towards more sustainable dietary habits.
Ultimately, “Feeding Tomorrow” serves as a cry for collective action and social change.It challenges viewers to reevaluate their relationship with food and embrace sustainable practices that benefit both people and the planet.The documentary reminds us that the power to shape a better future lies in our hands.In the words of Mark Shepard, “What are you going to eat for dinner tonight? Start asking the questions.”

习题讲评(二) 1篇阅读七选五+1篇语法填空+1篇读后续写
Ⅰ.阅读七选五
(2025·浙江省名校联盟联考)Agriculture has come a long way from its ancient beginnings.Long ago, farmers would work hard on their individual plots of land, using simple tools or even their bare hands.They tended to their crops for many hours each day so that the crops grew well. __1__ For example, a single storm could destroy a whole year's work, while a summer of good weather could ensure a good harvest.
Modern science and technology have helped to greatly reduce the back-breaking labour involved in farming, along with the reliance on luck and guesswork. __2__
Probably one of the most beneficial innovations is drip irrigation, which has made it possible to develop big, green farms in the middle of the desert.Simcha Blass, an Israeli scientist, discovered this new way of irrigation in the 1930s.Through this discovery, farmers can now produce crops on dry land without needing much water. __3__ The limited and focused use of just the right amount of water also denies moisture (水分) to weeds, keeping them from harming the crops.
__4__ However, what if an area has plenty of water, but little usable soil? As it turns out, it is possible to grow plants without using soil at all.With hydroponics (水培), plant roots are supported by rocks or a fiber mat.Nutrient-rich water is then provided so that the plants can grow.Recent research has centered on vertical hydroponics farming.With a vertical farm, the crops are planted in containers that are piled into plant skyscrapers. __5__
With such technological advances, the image of a farmer pushing a plough will eventually become a thing of the past.
A.Luck played a great part in farming.
B.Some areas would be too dry to grow crops.
C.Drip irrigation deals with a lack of water in an area.
D.There have been experiments to make drip irrigation a reality.
E.This irrigation method uses far less water than other methods.
F.Furthermore, nearly all hydroponic farms partially or fully automated.
G.Farmers have benefited greatly from innovations in crop production.

Our Garden and the Salad
“Christine, come and help me in the garden.I want to plant all of the seeds today.” My father was calling to me.“I'm busy ...” I said.I didn't understand why working in the dirt excited him so much.
By the end of April, his plants had come up in neat rows.Unfortunately, in early May, my father was seriously injured in an accident.He was in hospital for about two months and during that time he often asked me about his garden.Even after he came home, he had to stay in bed for a while.
My mother had several business trips so I said that I would take care of his garden.I assumed that the little plants would continue to grow as long as they had water, and luckily it rained fairly often so I didn't think much about the garden.
One Saturday morning in July, my father said to me, “Christine, I think that the vegetables should be about ready to be picked.Let's have a salad today!” I took a bowl and went out to the garden.I looked at the leaves and was upset to see that many of the leaves had been half eaten.There were hundreds of bugs (虫子) all over them! I tried to get them off, but there were just too many.I looked at the carrots next, but they didn't look healthy.
I got in panic for a moment, but then thought of a good idea.I quietly went to the nearest store to buy some vegetables.I went back home and cut them up to make a salad for my father.When I gave it to him, he said, “Oh, Christine, what a beautiful salad! You must be taking very good care of my garden.” My father looked happy, but I felt a little bit guilty.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
I went back to the kitchen when my mother came home.
____________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________
I carefully made a salad and took it to my father.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
参考范文:
I went back to the kitchen when my mother came home.She saw the bag from the supermarket.I was embarrassed and told her the truth.She laughed but promised to take some time to help me in the garden.We made a mixture of water with chopped up fresh hot peppers and then watered it on the vegetables.The water is not harmful but can drive away the bugs.Without bugs, vegetables grew quickly, and finally I was able to pick some.
I carefully made a salad and took it to my father.He looked at it with a smile.“Christine, the carrots are smaller in this salad, but they taste better.” I realized that he had known all about my shopping trip.I smiled back at him.Now, I better understand how putting a lot of efforts into caring for something can help you appreciate the results more, however small they may be.
