The research recruited 1,247 adults from 91 countries and utilized a free mobile app called Medito to deliver brief daily mindfulness sessions. Participants were randomly allocated to either a month-long mindfulness routine or a control group that listened to excerpts (节选) from “Alice in Wonderland”. The mindfulness sessions included relaxation exercises, intention-setting, body scans, breath-focused attention and self-reflection. Surveys conducted before and after the 30-day training period revealed substantial improvements in the mindfulness group: Reduced Depression by 19.2% more than control group; Improved Wellbeing by 6.9% more; Decreased Anxiety by 12.6% more; Attitudes to Health got more positive by 7.1% over control group; Behavioural Intentions to look after health increased by 6.5% beyond control group. These benefits were largely maintained after 30 days. In follow-up surveys one month later(Day 61), the mindfulness group showed long-term improvements in their wellbeing, notably a reduction in depression, more positive attitudes and even better sleep. This research is among the first to link mindfulness practice to broader lifestyle changes, underscoring its potential for promoting healthier living habits like exercising regularly. Masha Remskar, the lead researcher and an expert in behavior change, emphasized that even short daily mindfulness practice can be a powerful tool for mental health improvement. Dr. Max Western from the University of Bath stressed the potential global impact of a light-touch, affordable mindfulness intervention (介入) on healthy lifestyle behaviors, noting its benefits still lasted after the course ended, indicating that it can help build sustainable habits. The study was supported by the UKRI Economic and Social Research Council and collaborated with the Medito Foundation, a non-profit promoting mindfulness globally through a free app alternative to subscription based services. Medito paved the way for the “30 Day Challenge”, but had no part in data collection, analysis or publication. 8. What can be inferred about daily mindfulness? A. It can cure depression and anxiety. B. It may lead to sustainable benefits. C. Its benefits are limited to stress reduction. D. It is especially effective for severe depression. 9. What does the underlined word “underscoring” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Highlighting. B. Ignoring. C. Doubting. D. Transforming. 10. What does the Medito Foundation do in the study? A. Fund the research and collect data. B. Analyse the data and release results. C. Make profits and monitor the process. D. Facilitate the study and spread mindfulness. 11 Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. The Medito App: Promoting Mindfulness Practice B. Brief Daily Mindfulness: Big Benefits for Wellbeing C. Mindfulness vs. Control Group: A Comparative Study D. Recent Research in Health Psychology: Mindfulness Edition 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了研究发现正念练习有助于改善健康，解释了研究的过程以及发现。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“These benefits were largely maintained after 30 days. In follow-up surveys one month later(Day 61), the mindfulness group showed long-term improvements in their wellbeing, notably a reduction in depression, more positive attitudes and even better sleep.(这些好处在30天后基本保持不变。在一个月后（第61天）的后续调查中，正念组显示出他们的健康状况有了长期的改善，尤其是抑郁的减少，更积极的态度，甚至更好的睡眠)”可知，日常正念可能会带来可持续的好处。故选B。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“its potential for promoting healthier living habits like exercising regularly(它在促进更健康的生活习惯（如定期锻炼）方面的潜力)”以及“Masha Remskar, the lead researcher and an expert in behavior change, emphasized that even short daily mindfulness practice can be a powerful tool for mental health improvement.(首席研究员、行为改变方面的专家Masha Remskar强调，即使是每天短暂的正念练习，也可以成为改善心理健康的有力工具)”可知，研究强调了正念练习在促进锻炼等更健康生活习惯方面的潜力。故划线词意思是“强调”。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The study was supported by the UKRI Economic and Social Research Council and collaborated with the Medito Foundation, a non-profit promoting mindfulness globally through a free app alternative to subscription based services. Medito paved the way for the “30 Day Challenge”, but had no part in data collection, analysis or publication.(这项研究得到了UKRI经济和社会研究委员会的支持，并与Medito基金会合作，这是一家通过免费应用程序替代订阅服务在全球推广正念的非营利组织。Medito为“30天挑战”铺平了道路，但没有参与数据收集、分析或发布)”可知，Medito基金会在这项研究中促进学习和传播正念。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“In a new study published in the British Journal of Health Psychology, researchers from the Universities of Bath and Southampton have revealed how just 10 minutes of daily mindfulness (正念) practice can improve wellbeing, ease depression and anxiety and help people to be more motivated to improve their lifestyle — including healthier exercise, eating and sleeping habits.(在《英国健康心理学杂志》上发表的一项新研究中，来自巴斯大学和南安普顿大学的研究人员揭示了每天10分钟的正念练习如何改善健康，缓解抑郁和焦虑，并帮助人们更有动力改善他们的生活方式——包括更健康的锻炼、饮食和睡眠习惯)”结合文章主要介绍了研究发现正念练习有助于改善健康，解释了研究的过程以及发现可知，B选项“每日简短的正念：对健康大有裨益”最符合文章标题。故选B。 D It might surprise you to learn that dogs are playing an increasingly important role as conservationists. For centuries, they have been known as man’s best friends. Now, their unique abilities are being used to help protect some of the world’s most threatened species. Quick and loyal, dogs possess many qualities that make them ideal for fieldwork, but it’s their extraordinary sense of smell that makes them invaluable for conservation work. With around 220 million olfactory receptors(嗅觉受体)compared to just 5 million in humans, dogs can detect scents(气味)and analyze them with astonishing accuracy, devoting 40 times more of their brain to scent analysis than we do. Thanks to this incredible ability, some dogs are now being trained to save at-risk animals by sniffing(嗅)out their droppings. At the University of Washington’s Conservation Canines facility, 20 specially trained dogs have successfully tracked killer whale droppings, which only float briefly on the ocean’s surface. Analyzing these samples enables scientists to monitor the health of killer whale populations, which are under significant stress from food shortages, pollution, and boat traffic. Beyond tracking animal droppings, conservation dogs are also trained for live animal detection, further showcasing their abilities. They can locate rare species in their natural habitats. Additionally, they are now used to tackle the non-native species that threaten the survival of the local wildlife. Dogs also take on other important roles. For example, at Kenya’s Mombasa port, dogs sniff out illegal wildlife products such as rhino horns and ivory. Across Africa, they work on the frontlines against illegal hunting, serving as a powerful security force enhancer. While dogs may not be the ultimate solution to every conservation challenge, their incomparable abilities make them invaluable companions in the fight to protect our planet’s biodiversity. 12. Why are the figures mentioned in the second paragraph? A. To highlight the superiority of dogs’ sense of smell. B. To suggest the amazing accuracy of dogs’ analysis. C. To recognize the importance of conservation work. D. To show dogs’ impressive achievements in fieldwork. 13. How do dogs help protect killer whales? A. By tracking their movements. B. By detecting their droppings. C. By monitoring their populations. D. By analyzing the collected samples. 14. What can we learn from the example given in Paragraph 4? A. Wildlife products are popular in African countries. B. Non-native species affect the survival of local wildlife. C. Dogs are used to detect and prevent illegal wildlife trade. D. Dogs can accurately locate the natural habitats of rare species. 15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To appeal to people to protect biodiversity. B. To report various environmental challenges. C. To introduce dogs’ roles in conservation efforts. D. To prove the conventional claim of dogs’ qualities. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍狗狗凭借独特能力在保护生物多样性等环保工作中发挥的重要作用。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Quick and loyal, dogs possess many qualities that make them ideal for fieldwork, but it’s their extraordinary sense of smell that makes them invaluable for conservation work. With around 220 million olfactory receptors(嗅觉受体)compared to just 5 million in humans, dogs can detect scents(气味)and analyze them with astonishing accuracy, devoting 40 times more of their brain to scent analysis than we do. (狗狗敏捷又忠诚，拥有多种适合野外工作的特质，但正是它们非凡的嗅觉让它们在环保工作中价值连城。狗狗拥有约2.2亿个嗅觉受体，而人类只有500万个；它们投入到气味分析的大脑区域是人类的40倍，因此能以惊人的准确度探测和分析气味。)”可知，第二段提及的数据（狗狗与人类嗅觉受体数量、大脑用于气味分析的占比），是为了突出狗狗嗅觉的优越性。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Thanks to this incredible ability, some dogs are now being trained to save at-risk animals by sniffing(嗅)out their droppings. At the University of Washington’s Conservation Canines facility, 20 specially trained dogs have successfully tracked killer whale droppings, which only float briefly on the ocean’s surface. (凭借这种惊人的能力，一些狗狗如今接受训练，通过嗅探濒危动物的粪便来拯救它们。在华盛顿大学的‘环保犬’机构，20只经过特殊训练的狗狗成功追踪到了虎鲸的粪便——这些粪便仅会在海洋表面短暂漂浮。)”可知，狗狗通过探测虎鲸的粪便来帮助保护虎鲸。故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“For example, at Kenya’s Mombasa port, dogs sniff out illegal wildlife products such as rhino horns and ivory. Across Africa, they work on the frontlines against illegal hunting, serving as a powerful security force enhancer. (例如，在肯尼亚的蒙巴萨港，狗狗会嗅出犀牛角、象牙等非法野生动物制品。在非洲各地，它们奋战在打击非法狩猎的前线，成为强有力的安全力量助力者。)”可知，该例子说明狗狗被用于探测和阻止非法野生动物交易。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，第一段指出“狗狗在环保工作中发挥日益重要的作用”，随后段落分别介绍狗狗的嗅觉优势、通过嗅探粪便保护濒危动物、探测活体动物及打击非法野生动物交易等具体作用，最后总结狗狗在保护生物多样性中的价值。由此可知，作者写作本文的目的是介绍狗狗在环保工作中的作用。故选C项。 第二节 七选五（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。 Vertical (垂直的) farming can date back to as far as 2,500 years ago. The hanging gardens of Babylon are considered one of the first examples of vertical farming. About 1,500 years later, the Aztecs developed a form of hydroponic (水培的) farming. ____16____ In the 1600s, French and Dutch farmers grew Mediterranean fruits on walls that maintained heat to help the fruits survive colder conditions. Controlled environments for food production are not new. ____17____ In 1999, Dickson Despommier and his graduate students explored the concept of vertical farming as a way to feed growing urban populations, leading to the broader use of the term in the 2010s and 2020s. Vertical farming as a practice really didn’t become popular in the United States until around 2020, but it has been used in countries like Japan and the Netherlands for decades, according to Koga, where greenhouses (the early form of vertical farming) in general are a much more integral part of their culture and food production. ____18____ Today, much of the work in creating more nutrient-rich food through vertical farming comes down to science. ____19____ Currently, researchers are working to create seeds that are best suited for an indoor, controlled environment. ____20____ For instance, FFAR invested some $7.5 million in the PIP consortium to research varieties specific to indoor planting. “We’ve adapted plants through history,” Reich told Built In. “We need to try to see if we can adapt plants specifically to indoor agriculture, to see if that makes it more economically practical for the future.” A. The research witnesses more than one sponsor. B. This practice was copied by many other farmers. C. They created floating boats to grow crops on waters. D. Yet the term “vertical farming” caught on much later. E. The older industry shapes vertical farming’s operations. F. Conventional methods adjust seeds for weather and soil. G. Thus, vertical farming is adopted to reduce greenhouse gases. 【答案】16. C 17. D 18. E 19. F 20.

I firmly believe life skills classes are absolutely necessary for students. Initially, these classes fill a gap in traditional education. Subjects like cooking, budgeting, and basic home repairs are rarely taught in regular lessons, but they are essential for independent adult life. For example, learning to manage money helps us avoid financial troubles later. Secondly, life skills boost confidence. Mastering practical tasks, such as sewing a button or fixing a broken lamp, makes us feel capable of handling real-life challenges. In short, life skills classes prepare us for the future beyond exams. Schools should definitely include them in the curriculum. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生以“Are Life Skills Classes Necessary?”为题，给学校英文报投稿，明确表达对“是否应开设生活技能课程”的看法，并说明理由。 【详解】1. 词汇积累 坚定：firmly→strongly 必要的：necessary→essential 提升：boost→enhance 掌握：master→grasp 2. 句式拓展 同义句转换 原句：I firmly believe life skills classes are absolutely necessary for students. 拓展句：I hold a firm belief that life skills classes are absolutely necessary for students. 【点睛】【高分句型1】I firmly believe life skills classes are absolutely necessary for students.（运用了省略连接词that的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】For example, learning to manage money helps us avoid financial troubles later.（运用了动名词短语作主语） 第二节（满分25分） 47. 阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整短文。 I’d always been told to take care of my older brother, Brian, who was born weak and small. I’d often tie his shoes or prepare another glass of water for him. My mom saw my larger size and strong body as a sign that I was to be a kind of guardian angel (守护天使) for Brian. However, that was not the case. One day our school sponsored a pumpkin-carving contest. First prize was $100, and I knew just how I would spend it. There was a brand-new game I was dying to own. So I decided the first place bonus definitely had to land in my pocket. When I had to carve the perfect pumpkin I’d picked out, it dawned on me that with my big clumsy fingers I’d surely screw it up (搞砸). I thought of Brian’s smaller, delicate hands and knew he was the man for the job. I immediately begged Brian. Unexpectedly, he asked for a cut. That was fifty-fifty. Quickly doing the math in my head, I figured out even if I split (分摊) the first prize, I’d still have enough cash for the game. So I gave in to Brian’s demands. With skillful hands Brian carved the perfect face, and now we had the best pumpkin ever. Then the unexpected happened: We came in second. Unfortunately, second prize was only $50, and I needed every penny of that to buy the game. The day of the awards ceremony, the principal handed over the money to me because Brian was home, sick with cold. If he really wanted to win, he would have been here today, I thought to myself, justifying stealing the cash from under poor Brian’s runny nose. With hardly a thought, I ran to the store and bought my dream game. That night when Brian asked if we had won, I denied, afraid to look into his eyes. The whole thing was never mentioned again until the day when Brian was packing for college. I played my usual role in helping him pack when I came across an old album filled with photos he had taken as the school photographer. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: I was enjoying the photos when one caught my eye. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: “You actually knew and didn’t say anything?" I was shocked. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: I was enjoying the photos when one caught my eye. It was a picture of the pumpkin we had carved together. Underneath, Brian had written, “My first real win with my brother. Even if we didn’t get first, it was a victory because we worked as a team.” Seeing those words, a wave of guilt washed over me. I remembered how I had selfishly taken all the money and lied to him. I realized how much I had let him down. I turned to Brian, ready to confess everything. Paragraph 2: “You actually knew and didn’t say anything?” I was shocked. Brian just smiled gently and said, “I always knew. But I also knew that you needed that game more than the money at that time. And I was proud of our teamwork, not the prize. I hoped one day you’d understand the real meaning of winning together.” His words made me feel even more ashamed. I apologized sincerely, vowing to make it up to him. From then on, I truly understood my role as his guardian angel and the importance of true brotherhood. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者与哥哥Brian之间的一次经历，展现了兄弟之间的情感变化以及作者对“真正胜利”的理解。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我正欣赏着这些照片，其中一张吸引了我的目光。”以及第二段首句内容““你其实早就知道却什么都没说？”我震惊地问道。”可知，第一段可描写作者发现自己的哥哥早就知道他们获得了二等奖，却没有揭穿作者。 ②由第二段首句内容““你其实早就知道却什么都没说？”我震惊地问道。”可知，第二段可描写作者向哥哥道歉，也真正理解了兄弟情谊的重要性。 2.续写线索：作者欣赏着照片，突然发现了一张俩人一起雕刻南瓜的照片——在照片下，哥哥记下了他们一起雕刻南瓜这件事，并感叹虽然没有获得第一名，但是仍然是胜利——作者突然意识到哥哥早就知道了真相，却没有揭穿自己的谎言——作者准备向哥哥坦白，可是哥哥却温柔地自己为两人的团队合作感到自豪——作者非常愧疚，真诚地向哥哥道歉——从此之后，作者真正理解了兄弟情谊。 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①说谎：lie/ tell a lie ②使……失望：let down/ disappoint ③道歉：apologize/ make an apology 情绪类 ①对……感到自豪：be proud of/ take pride in ②真诚地：sincerely/ genuinely 【点睛】【高分句型1】It was a picture of the pumpkin we had carved together.（运用了省略关系代词的定语从句） 【高分句型2】Even if we didn’t get first, it was a victory because we worked as a team.（运用了even if引导的状语从句和because引导的状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高三年级10月考试英语试题 考试时间：120分钟试卷满分：150分 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题，每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

B Dr. Marie-Luce Chevalier, a Belgian/French geologist (地质学家), has been working a as a research professor at the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences in Beijing since 2010. For the past 14 years, she has been studying active faults (断层) in the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau and how they move. In 2021, Chevalier was presented with the Chinese Government Friendship Award in appreciation of her contributions to the development of China’s disaster assessment system of earthquake and the promotion of cooperation and exchanges between China and other countries. Chevalier’s choice of China as a research destination was not made by chance. Her research has primarily focused on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau. She had also collaborated (合作) with Chinese scientists from the beginning of her master’s program. “When they asked if I wanted to join their team after my post-doctorate, I gladly accepted and have no regrets. My fourteen years in China have provided me with a constant source of fresh personal and professional experiences,” she said, adding that her mother’s interest in Chinese culture contributed to her decision to work in the country. Chevalier will continue to research active faults in and around Xizang actively and contribute to our understanding of how past climate developed to work towards predicting future climate change, another topic near and dear to her heart. She will accomplish this by conducting field research, sharing her findings with scientific community, teaching students who will become tomorrow’s scientists, and raising awareness among local populations about the risks they may face in their lifetime. Chevalier’s mother went to Xizang once, realising her lifelong dreams. Chevalier keeps raising her daughter in this safe and highly international environment, Beijing. When people ask her daughter where she is from at four years old, she proudly answers, “China!” Chevalier wants to learn more about the Chinese language and culture, continue to enjoy the happiness of the Chinese people, and look forward to seeing what China achieves next! 4. What achievement did Chevalier get? A. She established the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences B. She launched the research on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau. C. She won the Chinese Government Friendship Award. D. She developed earthquake prediction system for China. 5. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. When Chevalier began her master’s program. B. What Chevalier experienced in China. C. How Chinese culture has affected Chevalier. D. Why Chevalier bases her research in China. 6. Which of the following best describes Chevalier? A. Professional and committed. B. Sympathetic and open minded. C. Humble and reserved. D. Innovative and self-disciplined. 7. Why does Chevalier mention her daughter in the text? A. To highlight China’s secure environment. B. To prove her close family connections. C. To emphasise her bond with China. D. To advocate Chinese learning C In a new study published in the British Journal of Health Psychology, researchers from the Universities of Bath and Southampton have revealed how just 10 minutes of daily mindfulness (正念) practice can improve wellbeing, ease depression and anxiety and help people to be more motivated to improve their lifestyle — including healthier exercise, eating and sleeping habits. The research recruited 1,247 adults from 91 countries and utilized a free mobile app called Medito to deliver brief daily mindfulness sessions. Participants were randomly allocated to either a month-long mindfulness routine or a control group that listened to excerpts (节选) from “Alice in Wonderland”. The mindfulness sessions included relaxation exercises, intention-setting, body scans, breath-focused attention and self-reflection. Surveys conducted before and after the 30-day training period revealed substantial improvements in the mindfulness group: Reduced Depression by 19.2% more than control group; Improved Wellbeing by 6.9% more; Decreased Anxiety by 12.6% more; Attitudes to Health got more positive by 7.1% over control group; Behavioural Intentions to look after health increased by 6.5% beyond control group. These benefits were largely maintained after 30 days. In follow-up surveys one month later(Day 61), the mindfulness group showed long-term improvements in their wellbeing, notably a reduction in depression, more positive attitudes and even better sleep. This research is among the first to link mindfulness practice to broader lifestyle changes, underscoring its potential for promoting healthier living habits like exercising regularly. Masha Remskar, the lead researcher and an expert in behavior change, emphasized that even short daily mindfulness practice can be a powerful tool for mental health improvement. Dr. Max Western from the University of Bath stressed the potential global impact of a light-touch, affordable mindfulness intervention (介入) on healthy lifestyle behaviors, noting its benefits still lasted after the course ended, indicating that it can help build sustainable habits.

For centuries, they have been known as man’s best friends. Now, their unique abilities are being used to help protect some of the world’s most threatened species. Quick and loyal, dogs possess many qualities that make them ideal for fieldwork, but it’s their extraordinary sense of smell that makes them invaluable for conservation work. With around 220 million olfactory receptors(嗅觉受体)compared to just 5 million in humans, dogs can detect scents(气味)and analyze them with astonishing accuracy, devoting 40 times more of their brain to scent analysis than we do. Thanks to this incredible ability, some dogs are now being trained to save at-risk animals by sniffing(嗅)out their droppings. At the University of Washington’s Conservation Canines facility, 20 specially trained dogs have successfully tracked killer whale droppings, which only float briefly on the ocean’s surface. Analyzing these samples enables scientists to monitor the health of killer whale populations, which are under significant stress from food shortages, pollution, and boat traffic. Beyond tracking animal droppings, conservation dogs are also trained for live animal detection, further showcasing their abilities. They can locate rare species in their natural habitats. Additionally, they are now used to tackle the non-native species that threaten the survival of the local wildlife. Dogs also take on other important roles. For example, at Kenya’s Mombasa port, dogs sniff out illegal wildlife products such as rhino horns and ivory. Across Africa, they work on the frontlines against illegal hunting, serving as a powerful security force enhancer. While dogs may not be the ultimate solution to every conservation challenge, their incomparable abilities make them invaluable companions in the fight to protect our planet’s biodiversity. 12. Why are the figures mentioned in the second paragraph? A. To highlight the superiority of dogs’ sense of smell. B. To suggest the amazing accuracy of dogs’ analysis. C To recognize the importance of conservation work. D. To show dogs’ impressive achievements in fieldwork. 13. How do dogs help protect killer whales? A. By tracking their movements. B. By detecting their droppings. C. By monitoring their populations. D. By analyzing the collected samples. 14. What can we learn from the example given in Paragraph 4? A. Wildlife products are popular in African countries. B. Non-native species affect the survival of local wildlife. C. Dogs are used to detect and prevent illegal wildlife trade. D. Dogs can accurately locate the natural habitats of rare species. 15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To appeal to people to protect biodiversity. B. To report various environmental challenges. C. To introduce dogs’ roles in conservation efforts. D. To prove the conventional claim of dogs’ qualities. 第二节 七选五（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。 Vertical (垂直的) farming can date back to as far as 2,500 years ago. The hanging gardens of Babylon are considered one of the first examples of vertical farming. About 1,500 years later, the Aztecs developed a form of hydroponic (水培的) farming. ____16____ In the 1600s, French and Dutch farmers grew Mediterranean fruits on walls that maintained heat to help the fruits survive colder conditions. Controlled environments for food production are not new. ____17____ In 1999, Dickson Despommier and his graduate students explored the concept of vertical farming as a way to feed growing urban populations, leading to the broader use of the term in the 2010s and 2020s. Vertical farming as a practice really didn’t become popular in the United States until around 2020, but it has been used in countries like Japan and the Netherlands for decades, according to Koga, where greenhouses (the early form of vertical farming) in general are a much more integral part of their culture and food production. ____18____ Today, much of the work in creating more nutrient-rich food through vertical farming comes down to science. ____19____ Currently, researchers are working to create seeds that are best suited for an indoor, controlled environment. ____20____ For instance, FFAR invested some $7.5 million in the PIP consortium to research varieties specific to indoor planting. “We’ve adapted plants through history,” Reich told Built In. “We need to try to see if we can adapt plants specifically to indoor agriculture, to see if that makes it more economically practical for the future.” A. The research witnesses more than one sponsor. B. This practice was copied by many other farmers. C. They created floating boats to grow crops on waters. D. Yet the term “vertical farming” caught on much later. E. The older industry shapes vertical farming’s operations. F. Conventional methods adjust seeds for weather and soil. G. Thus, vertical farming is adopted to reduce greenhouse gases. 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。 A woman driving out of a car park has praised a stranger’s kindness.

I’d often tie his shoes or prepare another glass of water for him. My mom saw my larger size and strong body as a sign that I was to be a kind of guardian angel (守护天使) for Brian. However, that was not the case. One day our school sponsored a pumpkin-carving contest. First prize was $100, and I knew just how I would spend it. There was a brand-new game I was dying to own. So I decided the first place bonus definitely had to land in my pocket. When I had to carve the perfect pumpkin I’d picked out, it dawned on me that with my big clumsy fingers I’d surely screw it up (搞砸). I thought of Brian’s smaller, delicate hands and knew he was the man for the job. I immediately begged Brian. Unexpectedly, he asked for a cut. That was fifty-fifty. Quickly doing the math in my head, I figured out even if I split (分摊) the first prize, I’d still have enough cash for the game. So I gave in to Brian’s demands. With skillful hands Brian carved the perfect face, and now we had the best pumpkin ever. Then the unexpected happened: We came in second. Unfortunately, second prize was only $50, and I needed every penny of that to buy the game. The day of the awards ceremony, the principal handed over the money to me because Brian was home, sick with cold. If he really wanted to win, he would have been here today, I thought to myself, justifying stealing the cash from under poor Brian’s runny nose. With hardly a thought, I ran to the store and bought my dream game. That night when Brian asked if we had won, I denied, afraid to look into his eyes. The whole thing was never mentioned again until the day when Brian was packing for college. I played my usual role in helping him pack when I came across an old album filled with photos he had taken as the school photographer. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: I was enjoying the photos when one caught my eye. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: “You actually knew and didn’t say anything?" I was shocked. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
