Part 1 单元阅读综合过关
一、阅读理解
We all know fresh is best when it comes to food. However, most produce at the store went through weeks of travel and covered hundreds of miles before reaching the table. While farmer’s markets are a solid choice to reduce the journey, Babylon Micro-Farm(BMF) shortens it even more.
BMF is an indoor garden system. It can be set up for a family. Additionally, it could serve a larger audience such as a hospital, restaurant or school. The innovative design requires little effort to achieve a reliable weekly supply of fresh greens.
Specifically,it’s a farm that relies on new technology. By connecting through the Cloud, BMF is remotely monitored. Also, there is a convenient app that provides growing data in real time. Because the system is automated, it significantly reduces the amount of water needed to grow plants. Rather than watering rows of soil, the system provides just the right amount to each plant. After harvest, users simply replace the plants with a new pre-seeded pod (容器) to get the next growth cycle started.
Moreover, having a system in the same building where it’s eaten means zero emissions(排放) from transporting plants from soil to salad. In addition, there’s no need for pesticides and other chemicals that pollute traditional farms and the surrounding environment.
BMF employees live out sustainability in their everyday lives. About half of them walk or bike to work. Inside the office, they encourage recycling and waste reduction by limiting garbage cans and avoiding single-use plastic. "We are passionate about reducing waste,carbon and chemicals in our environment," said a BMF employee.
1.What can be learned about BMF from paragraph 1?( )
A.It guarantees the variety of food.
B.It requires day-to-day care.
C.It cuts the farm-to-table distance.
D.It relies on farmer’s markets.
2.What information does the convenient app offer?( )
A.Real-time weather changes. B.Current condition of the plants.
C.Chemical pollutants in the soil. D.Availability of pre-seeded pods.
3.What can be concluded about BMF employees?( )
A.They have a great passion for sports.
B.They are devoted to community service.
C.They are fond of sharing daily experiences.
D.They have a strong environmental awareness.
4.What does the text mainly talk about?( )

四、读后续写
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。
Growing up with ADHD(注意缺陷多动障碍), I struggled all the time to concentrate. If a subject didn’t catch my interest, my brain simply shut down. The frustration of not being able to absorb information made school extremely difficult for me.
By high school, I had fallen so far behind that it seemed pointless attending class. My grades were always at the bottom and publicly posted for all to see, which fueled my shame and anxiety. Eventually, I began skipping class. No one seemed to care about my potential, and I certainly didn’t see it myself.
Everything began to change when my teacher, Ms. Carter, found me hiding in an empty classroom, writing down my struggles and making drawings in a notebook one day. Ms. Carter watched me quietly for a while before gently saying, "You know, you have a real talent for writing. Why not try writing for the school newspaper?" I had never considered writing for others to see. Hesitantly, I agreed to give it a try. At first, I contributed small pieces, but over time, I took on more responsibility and became an editor.
One day, after my article was particularly well-received, Ms. Carter smiled and said, "You’ve come so far — I’m proud of you." After I heard her words, my self-confidence reached new heights. For the first time, I saw myself as bright and smart.
As my confidence grew, so did my expectations about the future. Ms. Carter encouraged me to consider attending college. All I needed to do was prepare a personal statement that showed my strengths, goals, and why I was a good fit for the college. Despite the encouragement, there was still a cloud of uncertainty in the back of my mind. I expressed my thanks to Ms. Carter but said I would think about it.
注意:写作词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1:
When college applications began, I hesitated.______________________________________________
