As for causing ocean plastic pollution, Thailand is in the sixth place in the whole world. Thailand is waking up to the harmful effects of plastic pollution on our environment A supermarket chain in northern Thailand is returning to natural materials for everyday packaging(包装) use, including banana leaves. At first sight, Rimping supermarket in Chiang Mai looks just like other supermarkets that use banana leaves to wrap (包裹) food across Thailand. However, it is unusual to see this traditional, biodegradable (可生物降解的) way used in a big way. Rimping Supermarket says that it no longer provides plastic bags every Wednesday for customers upon entering the place. In the supermarket, something different can be seen on the goods shelves of fresh vegetables. Instead of plastic, fresh products are wrapped in banana leaves. The leaves are great for packaging and once the customer is done with the packaging, the leaves are biodegradable, greatly reducing the need for plastics. “We have discussed our environmental programme for a long time in our company,” a manager of Rimping Supermarket said. “We tried other materials before, but banana leaves are our final choice since there are plenty of banana leaves in Thailand. But the difficulty is to find a way to keep the products fresh. Some vegetables are not suitable to be wrapped in banana leaves as it becomes too wet and doesn’t keep its freshness,” the manager said. Rimping Supermarket’s store programme can be seen as a huge step for a greener, plastic-free earth. 8. What is the problem described in the first paragraph? A. Thai shop too frequently. B. Thai overpack their food. C. Thai pollute rivers seriously. D. Thai use too many plastics. 9. What can we learn about using banana leaves to wrap food? A. It isn’t something new in Thailand. B. It is supported by the Thai government. C. It first started from Rimping Supermarket. D. It will be put into practice in more supermarkets. 10. Why did Rimping Supermarket finally choose banana leaves to wrap food? A. They are cheap. B. They are easy to get. C. They are the most environment-friendly. D. They are perfect for wrapping fresh food. 11. What’s the text mainly about? A. A supermarket finds best ways to sell fresh food. B. Plastic packaging causes serious problems. C. Banana leaves replace plastic packaging. D. Supermarkets shouldn’t offer plastic bags. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。介绍了泰国使用香蕉叶代替塑料制品包装食物，以保护地球环境。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In Thailand, people use about eight plastic bags each day, almost 200 billion bags each year. As for causing ocean plastic pollution, Thailand is in the sixth place in the whole world.”可知，第一段描述的问题是泰国人使用了太多塑料袋。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“it is unusual to see this traditional, biodegradable (可生物降解的) way used in a big way.”可知，用香蕉叶子包裹食物是一种传统，不是新出现的。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“We tried other materials before, but banana leaves are our final choice since there are plenty of banana leaves in Thailand.”可知Rimping Supermarket最终选择香蕉叶是因为泰国有很多香蕉叶，容易获取。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。本文主要讲述了泰国意识到大量使用塑料制品对环境造成了危害，开始使用香蕉叶代替塑料制品包装食物，保护地球环境。因此本文的主题是香蕉叶代替塑料包装。故选C。 D As temperatures rise to the record level and wildfires happen around the world, the need to meet net-zero targets has never been more urgent. At the same time, increasing climate resilience (适应力) across food systems will be needed to fight rising hunger, according to Abdulla Shahid, president of the 76th session of the UN General Assembly. Agrivoltaic farming (光伏农业), which uses the shaded space under solar panels (太阳能电池板) to grow crops, could be a way out. In the system, solar panels have to sometimes be lifted or suspended to allow plants to grow beneath them. Another option is putting them on the roofs of greenhouses. This allows enough light and rainwater to reach the crops and provides access for farm machinery. Certain crops appear to grow well when grown in such environments, according to many recent studies. Researchers in South Korea have been growing a kind of vegetable underneath solar panels. The panels are positioned 2 — 3 metres off the ground and sit at an angle of 30 degrees, providing shade and offering crops protection from the sun. The researchers, from Chonnam National University, discovered that the vegetable produced was a deeper shade of green, thus attracting many consumers. Agrivoltaic systems in East Africa are allowing farmers to make better use of land. An agrivoltaic farming project in Kenya is using solar panels held several metres off the ground, with gaps between them. The shade from the panels protects vegetables from heat stress and water loss. This has resulted in rural farmers being able to grow a greater range of higher-value crops. The project effectively harvests the power of the sun twice, the researchers say. Overall, agrivoltaic farming is one way of using the same area of land to produce more food while also rolling out more sources of renewable energy. According to Brite Solar CEO Dr. Nick Kanopoulos, who is a highly skilled solar energy expert, it’s a new way of farming — one that is fully electric, runs on renewable resources, and is capable of producing the food we need to feed the future. 12. What is the main purpose of the second paragraph? A. To contrast agrivoltaic farming with conventional solar energy applications. B. To demonstrate the technical challenges in setting it up. C. To explain how it is built and works. D. To argue for its economic advantage over traditional farming. 13. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. Crops. B. Plants. C. Solar panels. D. Roofs. 14. What is the advantage of agrivoltaic farming over traditional farming? A. It uses land more efficiently. B. It saves money on labor costs. C. It can reduce wildfire risks. D. It is easily managed. 15. What does the author refer to when evaluating agrivoltaic farming? A. A general assumption many people in farming have. B. The professional judgment of an expert. C. The combined results of earlier studies. D. An official statement from an important organization. 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了光伏农业这一创新农业模式，阐述了其如何通过在同一块土地上结合太阳能发电与作物种植，来应对气候变化、提升粮食产量和促进可再生能源发展。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Agrivoltaic farming (光伏农业), which uses the shaded space under solar panels (太阳能电池板) to grow crops, could be a way out. In the system, solar panels have to sometimes be lifted or suspended to allow plants to grow beneath them. Another option is putting them on the roofs of greenhouses. This allows enough light and rainwater to reach the crops and provides access for farm machinery. (利用太阳能电池板下的阴凉空间种植农作物的光伏农业可能是一条出路。在该系统中，太阳能电池板有时必须被举起或悬挂起来，以便植物在其下方生长。另一种选择是把它们放在温室的屋顶上。这使得足够的光线和雨水到达作物，并为农业机械提供了通道。)”可知，该段先定义了“光伏农业”的概念，随后具体描述了其两种构建方式及其工作原理，因此其主要目的是解释光伏农业是如何建造和运作的。故选C项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词所在句“In the system, solar panels have to sometimes be lifted or suspended to allow plants to grow beneath them. (在该系统中，太阳能电池板有时必须被举起或悬挂起来，以便植物在其下方生长。)”可知，植物是在太阳能电池板下方生长，画线词指的是前面提到的solar panels“太阳能电池板”。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Agrivoltaic systems in East Africa are allowing farmers to make better use of land. (东非的农业光伏系统使农民能够更好地利用土地。)”可知，光伏农业相较于传统农业的优势在于它能更高效地利用土地。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“According to Brite Solar CEO Dr. Nick Kanopoulos, who is a highly skilled solar energy expert, it’s a new way of farming — one that is fully electric, runs on renewable resources, and is capable of producing the food we need to feed the future. (Brite Solar首席执行官Nick Kanopoulos博士是一位技术精湛的太阳能专家，他表示，这是一种全新的农业方式——一种完全用电、使用可再生资源的农业方式，能够生产出我们未来所需的食物。)”可知，作者在评价光伏农业时，引用了一位专家的专业判断。故选B项。 第二节 七选五(共5小题; 每小题3分，满分15分) Everybody lies to some degree. ___16___ However, nobody wants to be caught. Of course there’s a huge gap that separates little white lies from the whoppers (弥天大谎), but learning how to tell if someone is lying is a skill that’ll always come in handy. Here’s what to watch for. ___17___ There are many signs that indicate that someone could be lying. For example, one may make too little or too much eye contact, sweat or flush, and have difficulty controlling the volume and tone of their voice. ___18___ Hand gestures that normally accompany talking may occur with less frequency. Arm and leg movements may also be fewer. It seems that liars (撒谎者) would become more concentrated on telling the lie, so they get quieter in their body. Ask questions — quickly. If you suspect you’re being lied to, try this technique, which experts say can trip up a liar. Try asking questions quickly — one after the other. “The first lie is easy.” explains Kang Lee, a professor at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education. “ ___19___ When you continue to ask questions and put people on the spot, it gets harder to maintain the lie.” Check for emotional “leaks” Micro-expressions often show a person’s real thoughts. If you were to watch people very closely on videotape, you would see them showing their true emotion just before they show the fake expression designed to cover up the lie. But these extremely brief facial movements, some only lasting a quarter of a second, aren’t easy to spot. ___20___ And intentional liars tend to add other expressions, like smiling, to hide a lie. So here’s hoping that the next time someone throws a lie your way, you’ll know just how to catch it. A. Listen to the voices. B. Get better at body language. C. The follow-up lie is more difficult. D. Interestingly, people who are lying often become more still. E. Even professionals trained in lie detection can’t always tell them apart. F. In some cultures, it’s considered inappropriate to maintain eye contact. G. Lies occur between friends, teachers and students, husbands and wives. 【答案】16. G 17. B 18. D 19. C 20.

B When Brad Ryan was young, he used to spend a good time with his grandma Joy. Ryan says, “I remember sleepovers at her house when she would teach me to make cookies. ” The two became distant when Ryan’s parents divorced (离婚), but then ran into each other 10 years later. Realizing how much he liked his grandmother and missed that lost time, he made a plan to spend time with her. About eight years ago, Ryan was telling Joy about his 2009 hike and many adventures living in the wilderness. “Her eyes softened and then she matter-of-factly said, ‘I regret that I didn’t get to see more things in life. It would have been nice to see the mountains.’ My heart broke for her, ” Ryan recalls. It wasn’t until a few years later that the two took a trip to the Great Smoke Mountains. After a stressful work schedule. Ryan needed an escape to nature. So he invited his grandma to travel with him. They arrived late at night in the rain with Joy holding the umbrella while Ryan set up the tent. At 85, she had never slept in a tent before, but she climbed 2. 3 miles on a trail, receiving high-fives all the way. “It was a life-changing trip that provided more purpose than anything I had ever done, ” Ryan says. “Two years later I set up a GoFundMe called Grandma Joy’s Road Trip in the spirit of making up for the lost time and proving that you’re never too old to pack in a lifetime of adventure and travel. ” In the past four years, they have travelled more than 25,000 miles across 38 states. So far, they’ve visited 29 of the 61 US national parks, with much of the adventure documented on Instagram. “You never know what’s going to come out of her mouth, and it’s usually interesting. I wouldn’t want to travel the country with anyone else at this point. Of course we bet tired and have our angry moments.

A Grandson’s Promise C In Thailand, people use about eight plastic bags each day, almost 200 billion bags each year. As for causing ocean plastic pollution, Thailand is in the sixth place in the whole world. Thailand is waking up to the harmful effects of plastic pollution on our environment A supermarket chain in northern Thailand is returning to natural materials for everyday packaging(包装) use, including banana leaves. At first sight, Rimping supermarket in Chiang Mai looks just like other supermarkets that use banana leaves to wrap (包裹) food across Thailand. However, it is unusual to see this traditional, biodegradable (可生物降解的) way used in a big way. Rimping Supermarket says that it no longer provides plastic bags every Wednesday for customers upon entering the place. In the supermarket, something different can be seen on the goods shelves of fresh vegetables. Instead of plastic, fresh products are wrapped in banana leaves. The leaves are great for packaging and once the customer is done with the packaging, the leaves are biodegradable, greatly reducing the need for plastics. “We have discussed our environmental programme for a long time in our company,” a manager of Rimping Supermarket said. “We tried other materials before, but banana leaves are our final choice since there are plenty of banana leaves in Thailand. But the difficulty is to find a way to keep the products fresh. Some vegetables are not suitable to be wrapped in banana leaves as it becomes too wet and doesn’t keep its freshness,” the manager said. Rimping Supermarket’s store programme can be seen as a huge step for a greener, plastic-free earth. 8. What is the problem described in the first paragraph? A. Thai shop too frequently. B. Thai overpack their food. C. Thai pollute rivers seriously. D. Thai use too many plastics. 9. What can we learn about using banana leaves to wrap food? A. It isn’t something new in Thailand. B. It is supported by the Thai government. C. It first started from Rimping Supermarket. D. It will be put into practice in more supermarkets. 10. Why did Rimping Supermarket finally choose banana leaves to wrap food? A. They are cheap. B. They are easy to get. C. They are the most environment-friendly. D. They are perfect for wrapping fresh food. 11. What’s the text mainly about? A. A supermarket finds best ways to sell fresh food. B. Plastic packaging causes serious problems. C. Banana leaves replace plastic packaging. D. Supermarkets shouldn’t offer plastic bags. D As temperatures rise to the record level and wildfires happen around the world, the need to meet net-zero targets has never been more urgent. At the same time, increasing climate resilience (适应力) across food systems will be needed to fight rising hunger, according to Abdulla Shahid, president of the 76th session of the UN General Assembly. Agrivoltaic farming (光伏农业), which uses the shaded space under solar panels (太阳能电池板) to grow crops, could be a way out. In the system, solar panels have to sometimes be lifted or suspended to allow plants to grow beneath them. Another option is putting them on the roofs of greenhouses. This allows enough light and rainwater to reach the crops and provides access for farm machinery. Certain crops appear to grow well when grown in such environments, according to many recent studies. Researchers in South Korea have been growing a kind of vegetable underneath solar panels. The panels are positioned 2 — 3 metres off the ground and sit at an angle of 30 degrees, providing shade and offering crops protection from the sun. The researchers, from Chonnam National University, discovered that the vegetable produced was a deeper shade of green, thus attracting many consumers. Agrivoltaic systems in East Africa are allowing farmers to make better use of land. An agrivoltaic farming project in Kenya is using solar panels held several metres off the ground, with gaps between them. The shade from the panels protects vegetables from heat stress and water loss. This has resulted in rural farmers being able to grow a greater range of higher-value crops. The project effectively harvests the power of the sun twice, the researchers say. Overall, agrivoltaic farming is one way of using the same area of land to produce more food while also rolling out more sources of renewable energy. According to Brite Solar CEO Dr. Nick Kanopoulos, who is a highly skilled solar energy expert, it’s a new way of farming — one that is fully electric, runs on renewable resources, and is capable of producing the food we need to feed the future. 12. What is the main purpose of the second paragraph? A. To contrast agrivoltaic farming with conventional solar energy applications. B. To demonstrate the technical challenges in setting it up. C. To explain how it is built and works. D. To argue for its economic advantage over traditional farming. 13. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. Crops. B. Plants. C. Solar panels. D. Roofs. 14. What is the advantage of agrivoltaic farming over traditional farming? A. It uses land more efficiently. B. It saves money on labor costs. C. It can reduce wildfire risks. D. It is easily managed. 15. What does the author refer to when evaluating agrivoltaic farming? A. A general assumption many people in farming have. B. The professional judgment of an expert. C. The combined results of earlier studies. D. An official statement from an important organization. 第二节 七选五(共5小题; 每小题3分，满分15分) Everybody lies to some degree. ___16___ However, nobody wants to be caught.

For example, one may make too little or too much eye contact, sweat or flush, and have difficulty controlling the volume and tone of their voice. ___18___ Hand gestures that normally accompany talking may occur with less frequency. Arm and leg movements may also be fewer. It seems that liars (撒谎者) would become more concentrated on telling the lie, so they get quieter in their body. Ask questions — quickly. If you suspect you’re being lied to, try this technique, which experts say can trip up a liar. Try asking questions quickly — one after the other. “The first lie is easy.” explains Kang Lee, a professor at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education. “ ___19___ When you continue to ask questions and put people on the spot, it gets harder to maintain the lie.” Check for emotional “leaks” Micro-expressions often show a person’s real thoughts. If you were to watch people very closely on videotape, you would see them showing their true emotion just before they show the fake expression designed to cover up the lie. But these extremely brief facial movements, some only lasting a quarter of a second, aren’t easy to spot. ___20___ And intentional liars tend to add other expressions, like smiling, to hide a lie. So here’s hoping that the next time someone throws a lie your way, you’ll know just how to catch it. A. Listen to the voices. B. Get better at body language. C. The follow-up lie is more difficult. D. Interestingly, people who are lying often become more still. E. Even professionals trained in lie detection can’t always tell them apart. F. In some cultures, it’s considered inappropriate to maintain eye contact. G. Lies occur between friends, teachers and students, husbands and wives. 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) “You’ve lost 60% of your hearing in your right ear and it’s permanent(永久的).” “What?!” I stared at the doctor.
