石嘴山市第一中学2025-2026学年第一学期高一年级 期中考试 英语试题 一、 阅读理解 A Just what is about roller coasters? It seems we just can’t get enough of them. This week we take a look at some of the top amusement parks and the roller coasters that have helped make them famous. Holiday World It is a family park in the sense that resists the exciting atmosphere of its competitors and instead offers a more relaxing and friendly experience. Rare in that it is privately owned and it has many features that other parks often can’t match. There is lots of entertainment for youngsters, so parents appreciate the park’s family-friendly policy of free entry to the water park, reasonable food prices and unlimited soft drinks free of charge. Lake Compounce Lake Compounce, being one of America’s more traditional parks, is a rare find indeed. As the oldest continuously operating amusement park in the US, it has been a popular family spot since 1846. Like many old-time parks, it fell on hard times and was in danger of being closed. Luckily, in 1977, a well-known company came to its rescue with huge infusions (注入) of cash. The transformed park with its new rides is attracting many new fans. Knott’s Berry Farm As one of America’s favourite theme parks, Knott’s has something for everyone. For those seeking a breathtaking rush, try the roller coaster, Ghost Rider or the Xcelerator. Ghost Rider is the single largest attraction in amusement park history and one of the longest and tallest wooden roller coasters in the world. If you are after something a little less exciting, go to Camp Snoopy or visit the heart of Knott’s, Ghost Town, for a glance (一瞥) of life in the Wild West of the 1880s. With its cowboys, carriages, steam trains and historic buildings — many transported from mining towns — Ghost Town will let you relive a piece of the past. Islands of Adventure In the style of Walt Disney World, Islands of Adventure (IOA) is divided into themed “lands”. Unlike the sugar-coated Magic Kingdom, however, IOA features attractions guaranteed (保证) to set the heart racing. Its roller coasters are state-of-the-art fun. While the Spiderman is fantastic, you haven’t truly lived until you’ve experienced The Incredible Hulk’s wild and unique uphill launch. The effect is like being trapped inside an airplane that’s flying out of control. 1. What is special about Holiday World? A. It provides free food. B. It belongs to an individual. C It creates the exciting atmosphere. D. It owns the latest ride technology. 2. Which park takes visitors back to earlier times? A. Lake Compounce. B. Holiday World. C. Knott’s Berry Farm. D. Islands of Adventure. 3. Why is Islands of Adventure different from Magic Kingdom? A. It plays many famous movies. B. It is divided into different lands. C. It has more visitors waiting in line. D. It provides a very exciting experience. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了几个因过山车而著名的主题公园。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Holiday World中的“Rare in that it is privately owned and it has many features that other parks often can’t match.(它的罕见之处在于它是私人拥有的，而且它有许多其他公园往往无法比拟的特点)”可知，Holiday World是私人所有。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Knott’s Berry Farm中的“With its cowboys, carriages, steam trains and historic buildings — many transported from mining towns — Ghost Town will let you relive a piece of the past.(鬼镇拥有牛仔、马车、蒸汽火车和众多从矿业小镇迁移而来的历史建筑，将带你重温一段往昔时光)”可知，Knott’s Berry Farm给游客展现了过去的建筑和物品，把游客带回到以前的时代。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Islands of Adventure中“Unlike the sugar-coated Magic Kingdom, however, IOA features attractions guaranteed (保证) to set the heart racing.(然而，与充满甜蜜梦幻色彩的“魔法王国”不同，奥兰多环球影城的冒险岛（IOA）主打的是那些定会让人心跳加速的游乐项目)”可知，和Magic Kingdom相比，Islands of Adventure更惊险、刺激。故选D。 B I started playing football when I was 7 or 8 years old after my brothers had agreed to let their little sister join in their games. I’m from a very small town and at that time no other girls played football in my town. People said football wasn’t for women and my family shouldn’t let me play. They also said I wouldn’t make it, and that I wasn’t good enough. As a child, I didn’t really understand why people were so against me playing when I could play it well! I fought back by showing my talent (天赋) on the streets. My greatest inspiration was my mother. We came from a poor family; my mom separated from my dad when I was less than a year old and she raised four children on her own. She worked all day, had little time to spend with us, but she never gave up. I found my strength from her to keep going. Every win is important for me, from the time when I was playing in amateur (业余的) teams among the boys to the first win as part of the Brazilian national team, and now. I remember when I went back to my town in 2006 after winning the award for the best female player in the world. When I arrived, it was nearly midnight and the whole town was awake, waiting for me. I got into a fireman’s truck and people were waving. That achievement could happen because I hadn’t given up that first moment I heard a “no”. Sport changed my life completely. It gave me the opportunity (机会) to help my family, meet other people, see other countries and experience other cultures. Sport is a tool for empowering girls, because it gives you the opportunity to do what you want and learn to respect the differences between people. For me, it’s a great honor to be a UN Women Goodwill Ambassador (亲善大使). Today, I am here to use my story to inspire many more girls and women and to create opportunities so that next generation doesn’t have to go through what I did. 4. What was the author’s family’s attitude toward her playing football at first? A. They were uncertain about it. B. They were supportive of it. C They were strongly against it. D. They thought it must be painful. 5. What happened to the author when she returned home in 2006? A. She learnt to say “no” for the first time. B. She had little time to spend with her family. C. She got a chance to play for the national team. D. She was warmly welcomed by the whole town. 6. Which of the following words can best describe the author? A. Creative. B. Humorous. C. Strong-willed. D. Self-centered. 7. What does the author call on girls and women to do? A. Play football just like her. B. Try their best to see the outside world. C. Trust themselves and do what they want. D. Value the happy hours with their families. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. C 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是作者七八岁的时候开始踢足球，大家都觉得作者踢不好，但是作者没有放弃，最后获得了世界最佳女球员奖，成为了联合国妇女署亲善大使，激励了更多的女孩和妇女。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的“I started playing football when I was 7 or 8 years old after my brothers had agreed to let their little sister join in their games.（我在七八岁的时候就开始踢足球了，那时我的兄弟们同意让他们的小妹妹参加他们的比赛。）”可知，作者的家人对她踢足球的态度是支持的，故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的“When I arrived, it was nearly midnight and the whole town was awake, waiting for me. I got into a fireman’s truck and people were waving.（当我到达时，已是午夜时分，全镇的人都醒着，等着我。我上了一辆消防卡车，人们在挥手。）”可知，当她2006年回到家时，她受到了全镇人的热烈欢迎。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段的“That achievement could happen because I hadn’t given up that first moment I heard a “no”.（我之所以能取得这样的成就，是因为我没有在第一次听到“不”的时候就放弃。）”可知，作者不轻言放弃，是一个意志坚定的人，故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Today, I am here to use my story to inspire many more girls and women and to create opportunities so that next generation doesn’t have to go through what I did.（今天，我在这里用我的故事来激励更多的女孩和妇女，并创造机会，让下一代不必经历我所经历的一切。）”可知，作者呼吁女孩和妇女相信自己，做自己想做的事。故选C。 C “Then would you invest short-term or long-term?” asks Jennifer Varga, a teacher at Memorial Middle School in New Jersey. Personal-finance courses targeted at pupils are being popularized across America, promoted by rules requiring such instruction. Since 2020, 17 states have adopted laws that make taking a financial course necessary for completing high school, bringing the total up to 25. That figure will probably grow. Pupils in these classes learn not only how to save their earnings in order to have something to invest in the first place, but simple economic problems. Courses cover comparison shopping and the basics of how to properly bank, budget, handle credit and pay for college. Young people badly need these courses. Few teenagers score highly on financial knowledge assessments. Are personal-finance courses the answer? For a long time, the studies said no. Many analyses, including one cited over 2,500 times, claimed that financial courses were of no avail. The analyses made intuitive (直觉的) sense, as many teenagers have yet to work or manage a household. But more recent findings have shown an opposite picture. Research has gotten better and the courses themselves have also improved. Studies that use the gold standard of investigation have found the courses are working well and useful in improving financial knowledge and behaviour. The newest survey conducted in 33 countries found people who take these courses learn the content and budget better. And pupils who take personal-finance courses borrow less money. If they do borrow for college, they choose low-cost options. Some worry about adding one more graduation requirement to the long list, but schools are willing to remove courses with less direct bearing on life skills. “When I was 20, it would have been nice to have this class,” Ms Varga says. She got into some financial trouble as a young adult. “I want them to be better than my generation.” 8. What fuels the spread of personal-finance courses? A. A major demand from schools. B. The unsteadiness of finance. C. A new requirement for graduation. D. The popularity of banking. 9. What can students learn in personal-financial courses? A. Long-term investment. B. Daily finance management. C. Strategies for earning money. D. Policies on financial development. 10. What does the underlined phrase “of no avail” mean in paragraph 4? A. Unfamiliar. B. Unsystematic. C. Inaccessible. D. Ineffective. 11. What do the survey results imply? A. The courses have lasting value. B. More attention is needed to finance. C. Fewer students borrow for college. D. The graduation standards are high. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章介绍了在美国中小学推广的个人理财课程，课程内容涵盖日常理财技能等，帮助学生积累财务知识，指导相关行为。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Personal-finance courses targeted at pupils are being popularized across America, promoted by rules requiring such instruction. Since 2020, 17 states have adopted laws that make taking a financial course necessary for completing high school, bringing the total up to 25. (针对学生的个人理财课程在美国得到了普及，这是由相关规定推动的。自2020年以来，已有17个州通过了法律，规定参加金融课程是完成高中学业的必要条件，使总数达到25个。)”可知，毕业的新要求推动了个人理财课程的普及。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Courses cover comparison shopping and the basics of how to properly bank, budget, handle credit and pay for college. (课程包括比较购物和如何正确存入银行、预算、处理信贷和支付大学费用的基本知识。)”可知，学生可以从个人理财课程中学到日常财务管理。故选B。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“Few teenagers score highly on financial knowledge assessments. Are personal-finance courses the answer? For a long time, the studies said no. (很少有青少年在金融知识评估中得分很高。个人理财课程能解决问题吗？很长一段时间以来，研究都说没有)”以及“Many analyses, including one cited over 2,500 times, claimed that financial courses were (许多分析，包括一项被引用超过2500次的分析，都声称金融课程……)”可知，研究说个人理财课程并不能解决问题，引用的分析也声称金融课程没有效果、没有帮助。故划线词意思是“无效果的”。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“The newest survey conducted in 33 countries found people who take these courses learn the content and budget better. And pupils who take personal-finance courses borrow less money. If they do borrow for college, they choose low-cost options. (在33个国家进行的最新调查发现，参加这些课程的人对课程内容和预算掌握得更好。选修个人理财课程的学生借的钱也更少。如果他们真的借钱上大学，他们会选择低成本的选择。)”可知，这些课程在增加学生的财务知识和提升相关行为上有持久的效果。故选A。 D Urban agriculture, the practice of farming within the limits of a city, is becoming increasingly popular worldwide and is considered a way to make cities and urban food systems more sustainable. Despite strong evidence of the social and nutritional benefits of urban agriculture, its carbon footprint remains understudied. Most previously published studies have focused on high-tech, energy-intensive forms of urban agriculture —such as vertical (垂直的) farms and rooftop greenhouses. The new study aimed to fill some of the knowledge gaps by comparing the carbon footprints of food produced at low-tech urban agriculture sites to conventional crops. The researchers calculated the greenhouse gas emissions (排放) associated with on-farm materials and activities over the lifetime of the farm. The emissions, expressed in kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalents per serving of food, were then compared to foods raised by conventional methods. Farmers and gardeners at urban agriculture sites across the world were employed to use daily diary entries to take down inputs—the materials used to construct farms and cultivate crops—and harvests from their food-growing sites throughout the 2019 season. “By assessing actual inputs and outputs on urban agriculture sites, we were able to determine climate change impacts to each serving of produce,” says study co-lead author Benjamin Goldstein, assistant professor in the School for Environment and Sustainability. On average, food produced through urban agriculture released 0.42 kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalents per serving, six times higher than the 0.07 kg CO2e per serving of conventionally grow n produce. It’s also found that most of the climate impacts at urban farms are driven by the infrastructure (基础设施), such as the raised beds in which food is grown, or pathways between plots. “These farms typically only operate for a few years, so the greenhouse gases used to produce those materials are not used effectively. Conventional agriculture, instead, is very efficient and hard to compete with”, Goldstein says. For example, conventional farms often grow a single crop with the help of pesticides and fertilizers, resulting in larger harvests and a reduced carbon footprint when compared to urban farms, he says. 12. What is a benefit of urban agriculture? A. Sustainable food supply. B. High food output. C Effective energy conservation. D. Low carbon footprint. 13. How is the research data collected? A. By accessing online database. B. By examining previous studies. C. By conducting personal interviews. D. By recording information every day. 14. What could be done to reduce carbon footprint according to Goldstein? A. Increase varieties of crops. B. Extend infrastructure lifetimes. C. Promote rooftop greenhouses. D. Use modern agriculture facilities. 15. What is the passage mainly about? A. The benefits of traditional crops. B. The popularity of urban agriculture. C. The strategies to fight global warming. D. The carbon footprint of urban farm produce. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文为说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于城市农场产品的碳足迹的研究。研究发现，城市农场产品的碳足迹比传统农场碳足迹高很多，同时探讨了解决方案。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Urban agriculture, the practice of farming within the limits of a city, is becoming increasingly popular worldwide and is considered a way to make cities and urban food systems more sustainable.(城市农业，即在城市范围内耕种的做法，在世界范围内越来越受欢迎，被认为是使城市和城市粮食系统更具可持续性的一种方式)”可知，城市农业的一个好处是能让城市和城市粮食系统更具有可持续性，故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Farmers and gardeners at urban agriculture sites across the world were employed to use daily diary entries to take down inputs—the materials used to construct farms and cultivate crops—and harvests from their food-growing sites throughout the 2019 season.(在2019年的整个季节，世界各地的城市农业站点的农民和园丁都被雇佣使用每日日记条目来记录投入——用于建造农场和种植作物的材料——以及他们的食物种植站点的收成)”可知，该研究收集数据的方式是让农民和园丁用日记条目的方式记录城市农场的投入与产出，故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“These farms typically only operate for a few years, so the greenhouse gases used to produce those materials are not used effectively.(这些农场通常只经营几年，因此用于生产这些材料的温室气体没有得到有效利用)”可知，降低城市农场农产品的碳足迹需要充分利用基础设施设备，即延长使用年限，故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Urban agriculture, the practice of farming within the limits of a city, is becoming increasingly popular worldwide and is considered a way to make cities and urban food systems more sustainable. Despite strong evidence of the social and nutritional benefits of urban agriculture, its carbon footprint remains understudied.(城市农业，即在城市范围内耕种的做法，在世界范围内越来越受欢迎，被认为是使城市和城市粮食系统更具可持续性的一种方式。尽管有强有力的证据表明城市农业的社会和营养效益，但其碳足迹仍未得到充分研究)”结合文章主要介绍了一项关于城市农场产品的碳足迹的研究。研究发现，城市农场产品的碳足迹比传统农场碳足迹高很多，同时探讨了解决方案。即这篇文章主要讲的是城市农产品的碳足迹。故选D。 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。 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。 There is no better feeling than taking control of your life and finding the power to make your dreams come true.

She looked pale. A stomach illness had hit her family, and she was still sick. Coach Davis stood beside her. “Sarah, can you run the anchor leg (最后一棒) tomorrow? It’s the most important job, but you are sick.” The anchor leg runner finishes the race, and Sarah was their fastest runner. Sarah breathed hard. “I… I have to, Coach. The team needs me.” But her voice shook, and sweat shone on her forehead. Nearby, Maya watched, her hands tight. She ran the third leg well but wasn’t the fastest. Seeing Sarah so sick worried her. What if Sarah got worse? In the locker room after practice, Maya sat next to Sarah. “Hey,” she said gently, “how are you really feeling?” Sarah looked down at her shaking hands. “Not great,” she admitted. “But I can’t let everyone down. The team is counting on me.” Maya took a deep breath. “I know you want to help, but what if running makes you worse? Maybe… maybe someone else should run the anchor leg this time?” Sarah’s eyes were filled with tears. “But who? It has to be someone fast.” “I could try,” Maya offered quietly. “I’ve been practicing hard. And Coach could help me prepare.” Sarah stared at her, “You’d really do that?” Maya nodded firmly, “Of course! We’re teammates. That’s what teammates do — we help each other when we need it most.” Coach Davis, who had been listening nearby, walked over. “Sarah, Maya makes a good point. Running while sick could hurt your health and the team’s chances. Sometimes the bravest thing is knowing when to step back. Don’t worry, the backup will take Maya’s place.” Sarah wiped her eyes. It was the hardest decision she’d ever made. “You’re right,” she finally said, her voice thick with emotion. “Maya, I trust you. You’ll be a great anchor leg.” Maya laughed and hugged her friend. “I’ll run like you’re right beside me!” 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。 The big race came the next day. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Maya smiled, “I wouldn’t have done it without your trust.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: The big race came the next day. Maya, now the anchor leg runner, stretched nervously at the starting line. She glanced at Sarah, who gave her a thumbs-up from the sideline, still pale but smiling. The first three runners kept their team in second place, and when the baton finally reached Maya, she exploded forward. Her legs burned, but Sarah’s words echoed in her mind. Rounding the final curve, Maya pushed past exhaustion, overtaking the leader in the last few meters. The crowd erupted in excitement as she crossed the finish line. Maya smiled, “I wouldn’t have done it without your trust.” Sarah hugged her, tears in her eyes. “You were amazing! You ran your race, not mine — that’s what made the difference.” Coach Davis clapped them both on the back. “True teamwork isn’t just about speed,” he said. “It’s about knowing when to lead and when to let others shine.” Later, as the team celebrated, Sarah realized that courage isn’t just pushing through pain — it’s also trusting others to carry the baton when you can’t. Maya squeezed her hand. “Next time, you’ll be the one saving the day.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以接力比赛最后一棒为线索展开，讲述了Sarah是接力队最快的选手，但比赛前突发胃病。尽管虚弱，她仍想坚持跑最后一棒。队友Maya看出她的不适，主动提议替跑。经过挣扎，Sarah最终同意让位。比赛中，Maya超常发挥，在最后一棒反超对手夺冠。Sarah也由此领悟到勇气真正的含义。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天，比赛开始了”可知，第一段可描写接力赛前Maya很紧张，Sarah在一旁给予鼓励，比赛开始后Maya超常发挥，为队伍夺取冠军。 ②由第二段首句内容“Maya笑着说：‘没有你的信任，我不会做到的。’”可知，第二段可描写Sarah肯定Maya的表现，称赞其优秀，赛后庆祝时Sarah也领悟到勇气还包括在必要时退后让他人发光。 2. 续写线索：比赛开始——Sarah鼓励紧张的Maya——Maya超常发挥，顺利夺冠——Maya感谢Sarah——Sarah肯定Maya的表现——Sarah的领悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①匆匆看一眼：glance at/take a quick look at/cast a glance at ②超过：overtake/pass/go by ③拥抱：hug/embrace ④意识到：realize/recognize 情绪类 ①紧张地：nervously/anxiously ②兴奋：excitement/thrill/exhilaration 【点睛】[高分句型1] She glanced at Sarah, who gave her a thumbs-up from the sideline, still pale but smiling.

It seems we just can’t get enough of them. This week we take a look at some of the top amusement parks and the roller coasters that have helped make them famous. Holiday World It is a family park in the sense that resists the exciting atmosphere of its competitors and instead offers a more relaxing and friendly experience. Rare in that it is privately owned and it has many features that other parks often can’t match. There is lots of entertainment for youngsters so parents appreciate the park’s family-friendly policy of free entry to the water park, reasonable food prices and unlimited soft drinks free of charge. Lake Compounce Lake Compounce, being one of America’s more traditional parks, is a rare find indeed. As the oldest continuously operating amusement park in the US, it has been a popular family spot since 1846. Like many old-time parks, it fell on hard times and was in danger of being closed. Luckily, in 1977, a well-known company came to its rescue with huge infusions (注入) of cash. The transformed park with its new rides is attracting many new fans. Knott’s Berry Farm As one of America’s favourite theme parks, Knott’s has something for everyone. For those seeking a breathtaking rush, try the roller coaster, Ghost Rider or the Xcelerator. Ghost Rider is the single largest attraction in amusement park history and one of the longest and tallest wooden roller coasters in the world. If you are after something a little less exciting, go to Camp Snoopy or visit the heart of Knott’s, Ghost Town, for a glance (一瞥) of life in the Wild West of the 1880s. With its cowboys, carriages, steam trains and historic buildings — many transported from mining towns — Ghost Town will let you relive a piece of the past. Islands of Adventure In the style of Walt Disney World, Islands of Adventure (IOA) is divided into themed “lands”. Unlike the sugar-coated Magic Kingdom, however, IOA features attractions guaranteed (保证) to set the heart racing. Its roller coasters are state-of-the-art fun. While the Spiderman is fantastic, you haven’t truly lived until you’ve experienced The Incredible Hulk’s wild and unique uphill launch. The effect is like being trapped inside an airplane that’s flying out of control. 1. What is special about Holiday World? A. It provides free food. B. It belongs to an individual. C. It creates the exciting atmosphere. D. It owns the latest ride technology. 2. Which park takes visitors back to earlier times? A. Lake Compounce. B. Holiday World. C. Knott’s Berry Farm. D. Islands of Adventure. 3. Why is Islands of Adventure different from Magic Kingdom? A. It plays many famous movies. B. It is divided into different lands. C. It has more visitors waiting in line. D. It provides a very exciting experience. B I started playing football when I was 7 or 8 years old after my brothers had agreed to let their little sister join in their games. I’m from a very small town and at that time no other girls played football in my town. People said football wasn’t for women and my family shouldn’t let me play. They also said I wouldn’t make it, and that I wasn’t good enough. As a child, I didn’t really understand why people were so against me playing when I could play it well! I fought back by showing my talent (天赋) on the streets. My greatest inspiration was my mother. We came from a poor family; my mom separated from my dad when I was less than a year old and she raised four children on her own. She worked all day, had little time to spend with us, but she never gave up. I found my strength from her to keep going. Every win is important for me, from the time when I was playing in amateur (业余的) teams among the boys to the first win as part of the Brazilian national team, and now. I remember when I went back to my town in 2006 after winning the award for the best female player in the world. When I arrived, it was nearly midnight and the whole town was awake, waiting for me. I got into a fireman’s truck and people were waving. That achievement could happen because I hadn’t given up that first moment I heard a “no”. Sport changed my life completely. It gave me the opportunity (机会) to help my family, meet other people, see other countries and experience other cultures. Sport is a tool for empowering girls, because it gives you the opportunity to do what you want and learn to respect the differences between people. For me, it’s a great honor to be a UN Women Goodwill Ambassador (亲善大使). Today, I am here to use my story to inspire many more girls and women and to create opportunities so that next generation doesn’t have to go through what I did. 4 What was the author’s family’s attitude toward her playing football at first? A. They were uncertain about it. B. They were supportive of it. C. They were strongly against it. D. They thought it must be painful. 5. What happened to the author when she returned home in 2006? A. She learnt to say “no” for the first time. B. She had little time to spend with her family. C. She got a chance to play for the national team. D. She was warmly welcomed by the whole town. 6. Which of the following words can best describe the author? A. Creative. B. Humorous. C. Strong-willed. D. Self-centered. 7. What does the author call on girls and women to do? A. Play football just like her. B. Try their best to see the outside world. C. Trust themselves and do what they want. D. Value the happy hours with their families. C “Then would you invest short-term or long-term?” asks Jennifer Varga, a teacher at Memorial Middle School in New Jersey. Personal-finance courses targeted at pupils are being popularized across America, promoted by rules requiring such instruction. Since 2020, 17 states have adopted laws that make taking a financial course necessary for completing high school, bringing the total up to 25. That figure will probably grow. Pupils in these classes learn not only how to save their earnings in order to have something to invest in the first place, but simple economic problems. Courses cover comparison shopping and the basics of how to properly bank, budget, handle credit and pay for college. Young people badly need these courses. Few teenagers score highly on financial knowledge assessments. Are personal-finance courses the answer? For a long time, the studies said no. Many analyses, including one cited over 2,500 times, claimed that financial courses were of no avail. The analyses made intuitive (直觉的) sense, as many teenagers have yet to work or manage a household. But more recent findings have shown an opposite picture. Research has gotten better and the courses themselves have also improved. Studies that use the gold standard of investigation have found the courses are working well and useful in improving financial knowledge and behaviour. The newest survey conducted in 33 countries found people who take these courses learn the content and budget better. And pupils who take personal-finance courses borrow less money. If they do borrow for college, they choose low-cost options. Some worry about adding one more graduation requirement to the long list, but schools are willing to remove courses with less direct bearing on life skills. “When I was 20, it would have been nice to have this class,” Ms Varga says. She got into some financial trouble as a young adult. “I want them to be better than my generation.” 8. What fuels the spread of personal-finance courses? A. A major demand from schools. B. The unsteadiness of finance. C. A new requirement for graduation. D. The popularity of banking. 9. What can students learn in personal-financial courses? A Long-term investment. B. Daily finance management. C. Strategies for earning money. D. Policies on financial development. 10. What does the underlined phrase “of no avail” mean in paragraph 4? A. Unfamiliar. B. Unsystematic. C. Inaccessible. D. Ineffective. 11. What do the survey results imply? A. The courses have lasting value. B. More attention is needed to finance. C. Fewer students borrow for college. D. The graduation standards are high. D Urban agriculture, the practice of farming within the limits of a city, is becoming increasingly popular worldwide and is considered a way to make cities and urban food systems more sustainable. Despite strong evidence of the social and nutritional benefits of urban agriculture, its carbon footprint remains understudied. Most previously published studies have focused on high-tech, energy-intensive forms of urban agriculture —such as vertical (垂直的) farms and rooftop greenhouses. The new study aimed to fill some of the knowledge gaps by comparing the carbon footprints of food produced at low-tech urban agriculture sites to conventional crops. The researchers calculated the greenhouse gas emissions (排放) associated with on-farm materials and activities over the lifetime of the farm. The emissions, expressed in kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalents per serving of food, were then compared to foods raised by conventional methods. Farmers and gardeners at urban agriculture sites across the world were employed to use daily diary entries to take down inputs—the materials used to construct farms and cultivate crops—and harvests from their food-growing sites throughout the 2019 season. “By assessing actual inputs and outputs on urban agriculture sites, we were able to determine climate change impacts to each serving of produce,” says study co-lead author Benjamin Goldstein, assistant professor in the School for Environment and Sustainability. On average, food produced through urban agriculture released 0.42 kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalents per serving, six times higher than the 0.07 kg CO2e per serving of conventionally grow n produce. It’s also found that most of the climate impacts at urban farms are driven by the infrastructure (基础设施), such as the raised beds in which food is grown, or pathways between plots. “These farms typically only operate for a few years, so the greenhouse gases used to produce those materials are not used effectively. Conventional agriculture, instead, is very efficient and hard to compete with”, Goldstein says. For example, conventional farms often grow a single crop with the help of pesticides and fertilizers, resulting in larger harvests and a reduced carbon footprint when compared to urban farms, he says. 12 What is a benefit of urban agriculture? A. Sustainable food supply. B. High food output. C. Effective energy conservation. D. Low carbon footprint. 13. How is the research data collected? A. By accessing online database. B. By examining previous studies. C. By conducting personal interviews. D. By recording information every day. 14. What could be done to reduce carbon footprint according to Goldstein? A. Increase varieties of crops. B. Extend infrastructure lifetimes. C. Promote rooftop greenhouses. D. Use modern agriculture facilities. 15. What is the passage mainly about? A. The benefits of traditional crops. B. The popularity of urban agriculture. C. The strategies to fight global warming. D. The carbon footprint of urban farm produce. 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。 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。 There is no better feeling than taking control of your life and finding the power to make your dreams come true.
