A
In 2018, China became the largest producer and consumer of the fruit in the world. Wu Mingzhu, in her nineties, a native of Wuhan, is the unknown hero who has helped make this possible.
Helping others had long been a dream of hers. And she thought the most beautiful thing in life is that everything you create can serve the people, so she made efforts to grow quality melons, which began paying off in 1973. She is one of the 8,000 agricultural scientists who have come to Hainan annually from across the country over the past 60 years and have cultivated (培育) more than 20,000 of China’s new seed varieties through off-season breeding.
Using innovative measures such as radiation mutation breeding, double haploid breeding and distant hybridization breeding, Wu and her team developed new germ-plasm (种质) resources, from which they cultivated more than 30 watermelon and muskmelon (甜瓜) varieties with better adaptability and stronger disease resistance, the former director of the Xinjiang Muskmelon Research Centre said.
The new melon varieties have been promoted to more than 1.86 million hectares of fields from north to south. Some of these varieties have been promoted overseas, as far as California. Wu’s work has left her a number of honours. The “queen of melons” became an academician with the Chinese Academy of Engineering in 1999 and an honorary citizen of Sanya in 2004.
1. Why did Wu Mingzhu mainly want to grow high-end melons?
A. To make China the top fruit producer.
B. To follow the government’s requirement.
C. To create something that could serve people.
D. To meet China’s huge consumption demand.
2. Which of the following about Wu Mingzhu is NOT true?
A. Her team’s melons have stronger disease resistance.
B. She developed over 20,000 new seed varieties.
C. Her melon varieties have entered overseas markets.
D. She holds the title “queen of melons”.
3. What is the text?
A. A diary entry. B. A book review.
C. A physicist’s story. D. A news report.
【答案】1. C 2. B 3. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了中国“甜瓜女王”吴明珠致力于培育优质瓜类品种,助力中国成为世界最大水果生产国和消费国,其成果斐然并获诸多荣誉。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“And she thought the most beautiful thing in life is that everything you create can serve the people, so she made efforts to grow quality melons, which began paying off in 1973. She is one of the 8,000 agricultural scientists who have come to Hainan annually from across the country over the past 60 years and have cultivated (培育) more than 20,000 of China’s new seed varieties through offseason breeding.(她认为生命中最美好的事情就是你所创造的一切都可以为人民服务,所以她努力种植优质的瓜,并在1973年开始取得成效。她是过去60年来每年从全国各地来到海南的8000名农业科学家之一,通过反季节育种培育出了2万多个中国的新种子品种)”可知,吴明珠主要想种植高端甜瓜是因为她想创造一些能服务人民的东西。故选C。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“She is one of the 8,000 agricultural scientists who have come to Hainan annually from across the country over the past 60 years and have cultivated (培育) more than 20,000 of China’s new seed varieties through offseason breeding.(她是过去60年来每年从全国各地来到海南的8000名农业科学家之一,通过反季节育种培育出了2万多个中国的新种子品种)”可知,是8000名农业科学家培育了2万多个新种子品种,而不是吴明珠一个人培育的。B选项“她培育了2万多个新种子品种”表述错误。故选B。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,文章主要讲述了中国“甜瓜女王”吴明珠致力于培育优质瓜类品种,助力中国成为世界最大水果生产国和消费国,其成果斐然并获诸多荣誉。文章内容符合新闻报道的特点,以客观事实为基础进行报道。故选D。

While many animal populations seem to dwindle, one species that is moving in the opposite direction of such loss is America’s native wildlife — wood stork.
The wood stork is the only stork that breeds in North America. In 1984, it was declared an endangered species after its population decreased sharply to just 5,000 mating pairs. At the time, scientists predicted that the bird would become completely extinct by 2000. Today, it numbers 10,000 mating pairs, and the Fish and Wildlife Service is proposing a delisting of the wood stork as an endangered species. So how did the population bounce back?
The success is in part down to the resourcefulness of the wood stork. The wood stork’s native home was in the Everglades in Florida, but it migrated north as the Everglades were being destroyed by development of mankind. Wetland preservation and restoration, protection of nesting areas, and management of water flows began with the approval of the wood stork’s first recovery plan in 1986. In the following year, former Savannah Coastal Refuges biologist John Robinette noticed stork nests in Georgia as stork populations moved to safer wetlands.
According to Stephanie Kurose, a senior policy specialist at the Centre for Biological Diversity, the Endangered Species Act is also to thank for this recovery. She said, “The act saved the wood stork and it helped preserve and rebuild vital habitats throughout the southeast, which has improved water quality and benefited countless other species who call the area home.” “The Endangered Species Act has saved 99 per cent of the species that were on the list since 1973. A hundred types of plants and animals have been delisted as their populations become stable again.
If the wood stork is delisted, it will remain protected by other laws and a monitoring plan will be put in place to ensure the population remains stable.
4. What does the underlined word dwindle probably mean?
A. Boost. B. Change. C. Decline. D. Explode.
5. What can we learn about the wood stork in paragraph two?
A Its population shows a rising trend. B. It has become completely extinct.
C. It is widely distributed worldwide. D. It is the most endangered species.
6. What threatened the population of the wood stock?
A Climate change of Earth. B. Popularity of water sports.
C. Impact of human activities. D. Arrival of other wild animals.
7. What is a direct result of the Endangered Species Act?
A. People have safer water to drink. B. A list of species have been saved.
C. The local economy has boomed. D. The wood stock has flown away.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章主要讲述林鹳数量增长,从濒危物种名单中除名,并介绍了林鹳数量增长的原因。
【4题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词后“one species that is moving in the opposite direction of such loss is America’s native wildlife — wood stork.(但有一种动物却在朝着相反的方向发展,那就是美国本土的野生动物——林鹳)”和第二段中“Today, it numbers 10,000 mating pairs, and the Fish and Wildlife Service is proposing a delisting of the wood stork as an endangered species.(如今,它们的交配数量达到了1万对,美国鱼类和野生动物管理局正提议将林鹳从濒危物种名单中除名)”可知,林鹳数量增长,与很多动物相反,故划线词所在句意为“虽然许多动物的数量似乎在减少”,dwindle意为“减少”,故选C。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“In 1984, it was declared an endangered species after its population decreased sharply to just 5,000 mating pairs. At the time, scientists predicted that the bird would become completely extinct by 2000. Today, it numbers 10,000 mating pairs, and the Fish and Wildlife Service is proposing a delisting of the wood stork as an endangered species.(1984年,在其数量急剧减少到只有5000对交配后,它被宣布为濒危物种。当时,科学家预测这种鸟将在2000年完全灭绝。如今,它们的交配数量达到了1万对,美国鱼类和野生动物管理局正提议将林鹳从濒危物种名单中除名)”可知,林鹳的数量呈增长趋势,故选A。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“The wood stork’s native home was in the Everglades in Florida, but it migrated north as the Everglades were being destroyed by development of mankind.(林鹳的故乡在佛罗里达的大沼泽地,但随着人类的发展,大沼泽地被破坏,它们向北迁移)”可知,人类活动的影响威胁着林鹳的数量,故选C。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“The Endangered Species Act has saved 99 per cent of the species that were on the list since 1973. A hundred types of plants and animals have been delisted as their populations become stable again.(自1973年以来,《濒危物种法》拯救了99%的濒危物种。随着种群数量恢复稳定,100种动植物已被从濒危物种名单中除名)”可知,《濒危物种法》的直接影响是它拯救了很多濒危物种,故选B。
C
According to the Solar Energy Industry Association, the number of solar panels installed(安装)has grown rapidly in the past decade, and it has to grow even faster to meet climate goals. But all of that growth will take up a lot of space, and though more and more people accept the concept of solar energy, few like large solar panels to be installed near them.
Solar developers want to put up panels as quickly and cheaply as possible, so they haven’t given much thought to what they put under them. Often, they’ll end up filling the area with small stones and using chemicals to control weeds. The result is that many communities, especially in farming regions, see solar farms as destroyers of the soil.
“Solar projects need to be good neighbors,” says Jordan Macknick, the head of the Innovative Site Preparation and Impact Reductions on the Environment(InSPIRE)project. “They need to be protectors of the land and contribute to the agricultural economy.” InSPIRE is investigating practical approaches to “low-impact” solar development, which focuses on establishing and operating solar farms in a way that is kinder to the land. One of the easiest low-impact solar strategies is providing habitat for pollinators(传粉昆虫).
Habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change have caused dramatic declines in pollinator populations over the past couple of decades, which has damaged the U.S. agricultural economy. Over 28 states have passed laws related to pollinator habitat protection and pesticide use. Conservation organizations put out pollinator-friendliness guidelines for home gardens, businesses, schools, cities—and now there are guidelines for solar farms.
Over the past few years, many solar farm developers have transformed the space under their solar panels into a shelter for various kinds of pollinators, resulting in soil improvement and carbon reduction. “These pollinator-friendly solar farms can have a valuable impact on everything that’s going on in the landscape,” says Macknick.
8. What do solar developers often ignore?
A. The decline in the demand for solar energy.
B. The negative impact of installing solar panels.
C. The rising labor cost of building solar farms.
D. The most recent advances in solar technology.
9. What does InSPIRE aim to do?
A. Improve the productivity of local farms.
B. Invent new methods for controlling weeds.
C. Make solar projects environmentally friendly.
D. Promote the use of solar energy in rural areas.
10. What is the purpose of the laws mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. To conserve pollinators. B. To restrict solar development.
C. To diversify the economy. D. To ensure the supply of energy.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Pollinators: To Leave or to Stay B. Solar Energy: Hope for the Future
C. InSPIRE: A Leader in Agriculture D. Solar Farms: A New Development
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍的是用一种更加友好的方式建立一种新型的太阳能农场,这种新型的农场更有利于保护各种传粉昆虫,从而促进农业的发展。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Often, they’ll end up filling the area with small stones and using chemicals to control weeds. The result is that many communities, especially in farming regions, see solar farms as destroyers of the soil.(通常,他们最终会用小石头填满该地区,并使用化学物质来控制杂草。结果是,许多社区,特别是在农业地区,将太阳能农场视为土壤的破坏者。)”可知,太阳能开发者采用不环保的方式处理太阳能板安装后产生的问题,导致人们把太阳能农场看作是土壤的破坏者,由此可以推断,开发者在安装太阳能板后忽略了其带来的负面影响。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“InSPIRE is investigating practical approaches to “low-impact” solar development, which focuses on establishing and operating solar farms in a way that is kinder to the land.(InSPIRE正在研究“低影响”太阳能开发的实用方法,其重点是以对土地更友好的方式建立和运营太阳能农场。)”可知,InSPIRE采用有好的方式建立和运营太阳能农场,也就是使得太阳能农场更加环保。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Over 28 states have passed laws related to pollinator habitat protection and pesticide use.(超过28个州通过了与传粉媒介栖息地保护和农药使用有关的法律。)”可知,这些法律都是与保护传粉者栖息地和农药使用相关,所以这些法律的目的是保护授粉者。故选A项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的“Over the past few years, many solar farm developers have transformed the space under their solar panels into a shelter for various kinds of pollinators, resulting in soil improvement and carbon reduction.(在过去的几年里,许多太阳能农场开发商将太阳能电池板下的空间改造成各种传粉媒介的庇护所,从而改善了土壤并减少了碳排放。)”可知,现在的太阳能农场在过去的几年里已经得到了很大的发展,更重要的是太阳能农场也变得更加的环保,这将是未来发展农业的新趋势,再结合全文对太阳农场的发展过程的介绍可以判断,本文主题是介绍太阳能农场。故选D项。
【点睛】

【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了一幅模仿维米尔杰作的AI生成画作在美术馆展出后引发争议,进而探讨人工智能在艺术创作领域的角色及相关争议。
【12题详解】
上文指出“At first glance, it seems to be Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer’s masterpiece Girl with a Pearl Earring.(乍一看,这幅作品似乎是荷兰画家Johannes Vermeer的杰作《戴珍珠耳环的少女》。)”乍一看,这似乎是荷兰画家Johannes Vermeer的杰作《戴珍珠耳环的少女》;而下文“(少女佩戴着两枚熠熠生辉的耳环,脸上却透着一抹略显违和的红晕。)”则描述了这幅作品里少女的细节。选项C“But look more closely and you may find something different about it. (但凑近细看,你或许会发现它有些与众不同之处。)”起到了承上启下的作用,既衔接了“乍一看”的内容,又引出下文对作品细节的描述,暗示这幅画并非原作。故选C。
【13题详解】
上文提出疑问“Look strange?(看着有些怪异?)”;而下文“Chosen from 3,482 submitted images based on the Vermeer masterpiece, the Al-generated work was displayed at the Mauritshuis Museum in the Netherlands in March. (这幅AI生成作品从3482幅以维米尔这幅杰作为蓝本的投稿作品中脱颖而出,于今年3月在荷兰莫瑞泰斯皇家美术馆展出。)”介绍这幅人工智能生成的作品从3482幅以维米尔杰作为原型的投稿作品中脱颖而出,于3月在荷兰莫瑞泰斯皇家美术馆展出。选项F“It’s actually an image made by Berlin-based designer Julian Dieken using artificial intelligence.(这幅作品其实是柏林设计师Julian Dieken借助人工智能技术创作的图像。)”直接回答了前文的疑问,解释了这幅奇怪作品的来源,同时与后一句中的“AI-generated work”形成呼应。故选F。
【14题详解】
下文“Though Mauritshuis press officer Boris de Munnick insisted that it was a nice picture and a creative process, many people questioned whether it could be called art and if it was qualified to be shown in the museum gallery.(尽管莫瑞泰斯美术馆的新闻官Boris de Munnick坚称,这是一幅佳作,其创作过程也颇具创意,但许多人却质疑它是否算得上艺术,以及它是否有资格进驻美术馆展厅。)”指出这幅AI作品引发了争议。选项B“However, the AI image raised a fierce argument.(然而,这幅人工智能图像却引发了激烈的争议。)”是总起句,概括了后文的核心内容,“however”也体现出与前文“作品展出”的转折关系。故选B。
【15题详解】
上文“Though Mauritshuis press officer Boris de Munnick insisted that it was a nice picture and a creative process, many people questioned whether it could be called art and if it was qualified to be shown in the museum gallery.(尽管莫瑞泰斯美术馆的新闻官Boris de Munnick坚称,这是一幅佳作,其创作过程也颇具创意,但许多人却质疑它是否算得上艺术,以及它是否有资格进驻美术馆展厅。)”指出很多人质疑它是否能被称为艺术;而下文“It was regarded as a disrespect for the masterpiece of Vermeer and also for any working artist.(人们认为这既是对Vermeer杰作的亵渎,也是对所有职业艺术家的不尊重。)”则补充指出这被认为是对Vermeer杰作以及所有从业艺术家的不尊重。选项E“Duteh artist Iris Compiet described the image on display as unoriginal. (荷兰艺术家Iris Compiet称这幅展出的图像缺乏原创性)”是对前文质疑的具体举例,说明艺术家群体对这幅AI作品的看法,同时支撑了后一句“不尊重艺术家”的观点。故选E。
【16题详解】
上一句“In fact, this is not the first time that people have debated AI’s role in creativity.(事实上,这并非人们首次就人工智能在创意领域的角色展开争论。)”指出,这并非人们首次争论人工智能在创造力领域的角色;而下一句“But the technology has now become widely available for regular everyday use and the practice of using AI image generators to make art has become more common.(但如今,这项技术已普及至日常应用,借助AI图像生成器进行艺术创作的做法也变得愈发常见。)”则转折提出用人工智能图像生成器创作艺术的做法也变得更加普遍。选项D“One common concern is whether AI-generated works break copyright laws.(一个普遍的担忧是,人工智能生成的作品是否违反了版权法。)”是对前文争论内容的具体说明,指出了人们对AI创作的担忧点,与后文的技术普及形成对比。故选D。

53. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When the forecast said that a storm was threatening, Sarah didn’t think much about it. When she went to the grocery store and saw that people were grabbing whatever they could, she still didn’t worry.
On her way home, she looked overhead. Dark clouds were indeed forming. And they seemed to be moving quickly across the sky. Still, Sarah was not bothered. When she got home, Sarah sat on the sofa with her dog, Cooper, and got ready to watch a movie. Just as she hit play on the remote, she heard the thunder. Exceptionally heavy rain started to come down, making it almost impossible to see the trees in her front yard through the window. Cooper immediately jumped from the sofa, barking in fear in the corner.
“It’s OK,” Sarah said. She turned off the movie and instead skipped to the local news station. The storm was much more serious than she had thought. People in a nearby city even said they spotted a tornado. About 80 percent of buildings suffered severe damage in the flood. Water, food, and electricity were hard to get. Wanting to know more, Sarah picked up her telephone, only to find a new voicemail from the community. It advised people to stay inside, secure all of the doors and windows and call the community helpline in case of emergency.
Sarah got up and began checking all of the windows to make sure they were all fully closed. By the time she got back to her sofa, the rain had stopped. “That wasn’t so bad,” Sarah said aloud, “Just a nice shower.”
She turned to Cooper, who still looked a bit frightened. She looked outside. It was actually very calm, but she could see that the wind was picking up. The branches of the trees were swinging and the garbage bin had tipped over.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Obviously, a storm was on its way.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Trapped at home, Sarah wondered how she could survive.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Obviously, a storm was on its way. Sarah caught sight of something like a gray funnel moving in the distance. Tornado! In a flash, with a burst of thunder, rain poured down once again, beating heavily against the windows. The wind was roaring and many trees were uprooted. The storm lasted two days, which made Sarah increasingly nervous. With no preparation for the terrible weather, she was cold and hungry. A flood of regret swept over her.
Trapped at home, Sarah wondered how she could survive. Just then, it occurred to her that she could telephone the community helpline. Immediately, she called to explain her tough situation. An hour later, Sarah heard a knock at the door and in came the community rescue workers with sufficient food and necessities. Finally she let out a sigh of relief. She was deeply affected by community rescue workers’ efforts to come to her aid. It was the true kindness and love in the community that helped her survive the terrible disaster.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了尽管天气预报警告风暴即将来临,Sarah起初并未太在意,当暴雨倾盆而下,她才意识到风暴的严重性,社区通过语音留言提醒居民待在室内,确保门窗紧闭,并在紧急情况下拨打求助热线。Sarah随即检查了家中的所有窗户,确保它们都已关好。当她回到沙发上时,雨已经停了。然而,她注意到外面虽然暂时平静,但风力正在增强,树枝摇摆,垃圾桶也被吹倒。
详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“显然,一场风暴即将来临。”可知,第一段可描写暴风雨来临,情势严重,萨拉为没有准备而后悔。
②由第二段首句内容“萨拉被困在家里,不知如何才能活下来。”可知,第二段可描写萨拉是如何获得帮助的。
2.续写线索:暴风雨来临——暴风雨持久——后悔——求助社区——获得帮助——感谢
3.词汇激活
行为类
①大雨瓢泼:rain poured down/rain came down in a splash
②想到:it occurred to her/it struck her
③打电话:call/ring
情绪类
①紧张:nervous/tense
②后悔:regret/repentance
【点睛】[高分句型1] The storm lasted two days, which made Sarah increasingly nervous. (由关系代词which引导非限制性定语从句)
[高分句型2] Just then, it occurred to her that she could telephone the community helpline. (由it作形式主语,that引导主语从句)

A
In 2018, China became the largest producer and consumer of the fruit in the world. Wu Mingzhu, in her nineties, a native of Wuhan, is the unknown hero who has helped make this possible.
Helping others had long been a dream of hers. And she thought the most beautiful thing in life is that everything you create can serve the people, so she made efforts to grow quality melons, which began paying off in 1973. She is one of the 8,000 agricultural scientists who have come to Hainan annually from across the country over the past 60 years and have cultivated (培育) more than 20,000 of China’s new seed varieties through off-season breeding.
Using innovative measures such as radiation mutation breeding, double haploid breeding and distant hybridization breeding, Wu and her team developed new germ-plasm (种质) resources, from which they cultivated more than 30 watermelon and muskmelon (甜瓜) varieties with better adaptability and stronger disease resistance, the former director of the Xinjiang Muskmelon Research Centre said.
The new melon varieties have been promoted to more than 1.86 million hectares of fields from north to south. Some of these varieties have been promoted overseas, as far as California. Wu’s work has left her a number of honours. The “queen of melons” became an academician with the Chinese Academy of Engineering in 1999 and an honorary citizen of Sanya in 2004.
1. Why did Wu Mingzhu mainly want to grow high-end melons?
A. To make China the top fruit producer.
B. To follow the government’s requirement.
C. To create something that could serve people.
D. To meet China’s huge consumption demand.
2. Which of the following about Wu Mingzhu is NOT true?
A. Her team’s melons have stronger disease resistance.
B. She developed over 20000 new seed varieties.
C. Her melon varieties have entered overseas markets.
D. She holds the title “queen of melons”.
3. What is the text?
A. A diary entry. B. A book review.
C. A physicist’s story. D. A news report.
B
While many animal populations seem to dwindle, one species that is moving in the opposite direction of such loss is America’s native wildlife — wood stork.
The wood stork is the only stork that breeds in North America. In 1984, it was declared an endangered species after its population decreased sharply to just 5,000 mating pairs. At the time, scientists predicted that the bird would become completely extinct by 2000. Today, it numbers 10,000 mating pairs, and the Fish and Wildlife Service is proposing a delisting of the wood stork as an endangered species. So how did the population bounce back?
The success is in part down to the resourcefulness of the wood stork. The wood stork’s native home was in the Everglades in Florida, but it migrated north as the Everglades were being destroyed by development of mankind. Wetland preservation and restoration, protection of nesting areas, and management of water flows began with the approval of the wood stork’s first recovery plan in 1986. In the following year, former Savannah Coastal Refuges biologist John Robinette noticed stork nests in Georgia as stork populations moved to safer wetlands.
According to Stephanie Kurose, a senior policy specialist at the Centre for Biological Diversity, the Endangered Species Act is also to thank for this recovery. She said, “The act saved the wood stork and it helped preserve and rebuild vital habitats throughout the southeast, which has improved water quality and benefited countless other species who call the area home.” “The Endangered Species Act has saved 99 per cent of the species that were on the list since 1973. A hundred types of plants and animals have been delisted as their populations become stable again.
If the wood stork is delisted, it will remain protected by other laws and a monitoring plan will be put in place to ensure the population remains stable.
4. What does the underlined word dwindle probably mean?
A. Boost. B. Change. C. Decline. D. Explode.
5. What can we learn about the wood stork in paragraph two?
A. Its population shows a rising trend. B. It has become completely extinct.
C. It is widely distributed worldwide. D. It is the most endangered species.
6. What threatened the population of the wood stock?
A. Climate change of Earth. B. Popularity of water sports.
C. Impact of human activities. D. Arrival of other wild animals.
7. What is a direct result of the Endangered Species Act?
A. People have safer water to drink. B. A list of species have been saved.
C. The local economy has boomed. D. The wood stock has flown away.
C
According to the Solar Energy Industry Association, the number of solar panels installed(安装)has grown rapidly in the past decade, and it has to grow even faster to meet climate goals. But all of that growth will take up a lot of space, and though more and more people accept the concept of solar energy, few like large solar panels to be installed near them.
Solar developers want to put up panels as quickly and cheaply as possible, so they haven’t given much thought to what they put under them. Often, they’ll end up filling the area with small stones and using chemicals to control weeds. The result is that many communities, especially in farming regions, see solar farms as destroyers of the soil.
“Solar projects need to be good neighbors” says Jordan Macknick, the head of the Innovative Site Preparation and Impact Reductions on the Environment(InSPIRE)project. “They need to be protectors of the land and contribute to the agricultural economy.” InSPIRE is investigating practical approaches to “low-impact” solar development, which focuses on establishing and operating solar farms in a way that is kinder to the land. One of the easiest low-impact solar strategies is providing habitat for pollinators(传粉昆虫).
Habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change have caused dramatic declines in pollinator populations over the past couple of decades, which has damaged the U.S. agricultural economy. Over 28 states have passed laws related to pollinator habitat protection and pesticide use. Conservation organizations put out pollinator-friendliness guidelines for home gardens, businesses, schools, cities—and now there are guidelines for solar farms.
Over the past few years, many solar farm developers have transformed the space under their solar panels into a shelter for various kinds of pollinators, resulting in soil improvement and carbon reduction. “These pollinator-friendly solar farms can have a valuable impact on everything that’s going on in the landscape,” says Macknick.
8. What do solar developers often ignore?
A. The decline in the demand for solar energy.
B. The negative impact of installing solar panels.
C. The rising labor cost of building solar farms.
D The most recent advances in solar technology.
9. What does InSPIRE aim to do?
A. Improve the productivity of local farms.
B. Invent new methods for controlling weeds.
C. Make solar projects environmentally friendly.
D. Promote the use of solar energy in rural areas.
10. What is the purpose of the laws mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. To conserve pollinators. B. To restrict solar development.
C. To diversify the economy. D. To ensure the supply of energy.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Pollinators: To Leave or to Stay B. Solar Energy: Hope for the Future
C. InSPIRE: A Leader in Agriculture D. Solar Farms: A New Development

53. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When the forecast said that a storm was threatening, Sarah didn’t think much about it. When she went to the grocery store and saw that people were grabbing whatever they could, she still didn’t worry.
On her way home, she looked overhead. Dark clouds were indeed forming. And they seemed to be moving quickly across the sky. Still, Sarah was not bothered. When she got home, Sarah sat on the sofa with her dog, Cooper, and got ready to watch a movie. Just as she hit play on the remote, she heard the thunder. Exceptionally heavy rain started to come down, making it almost impossible to see the trees in her front yard through the window. Cooper immediately jumped from the sofa, barking in fear in the corner.
“It’s OK,” Sarah said. She turned off the movie and instead skipped to the local news station. The storm was much more serious than she had thought. People in a nearby city even said they spotted a tornado. About 80 percent of buildings suffered severe damage in the flood. Water, food, and electricity were hard to get. Wanting to know more, Sarah picked up her telephone, only to find a new voicemail from the community. It advised people to stay inside, secure all of the doors and windows and call the community helpline in case of emergency.
Sarah got up and began checking all of the windows to make sure they were all fully closed. By the time she got back to her sofa, the rain had stopped. “That wasn’t so bad,” Sarah said aloud, “Just a nice shower.”
She turned to Cooper, who still looked a bit frightened. She looked outside. It was actually very calm, but she could see that the wind was picking up. The branches of the trees were swinging and the garbage bin had tipped over.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Obviously, a storm was on its way.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Trapped at home, Sarah wondered how she could survive.
