A
Michelle Coulter grew up with her mother’s belief that swimming was a necessary life skill. But she was afraid of water. She failed her swimming test four times. During her fourth attempt, she panicked, hit her chin on the pool edge, and sank to the bottom. As she sat there, something unexpected happened — she calmed down, and her body floated upward. Then she realized an important life lesson: when people relax and trust themselves, they rise; when fear takes over, they sink.
Michelle began artistic swimming at the age of thirteen. A few years later, she joined the senior team. She was paired with an Olympic silver medalist, and they went to their first World Championships together. She trained intensely six to eight hours daily under a tough coach, using science-based methods to prepare for it.
A turning point came weeks before the Worlds when her coach stopped her in the middle of a drill underwater and asked, “How would you perform if you were already a world champion?” This question changed how Michelle approached her training and goals. Instead of worrying about mistakes, she focused on performing each movement as if she already belonged at the top level. Against strong competitors, she and her partner won the World Championship and later, Olympic gold.
Success came at the expense of her health, as body pressure in a judged sport pushed her toward extreme dieting and harmful habits. After the Olympics, the problem worsened until she experienced serious personal loss. Later, seeing the effect of her behavior on her daughters became another wake-up call. Michelle finally chose recovery. She had a heart-to- heart talk with her daughters.
Michelle’s fear was that, in her sharing “her secret”, she would feel unworthy of the achievements she had attained in sport. Just the opposite happened, though. She discovered speaking her truth became a source of personal strength, allowing her to finally stand firm in her own story and use it to encourage others to let go of fear, abandon perfection, and pursue their own greatness with honesty and joy.
1. When did Michelle learn an important life lesson?
A. When she passed the test.
B. When she hit her chin.
C. When she tried the third time.
D. When she relaxed after sinking.
2. Why did the coach stop Michelle in the middle of a drill?
A. To calm her.
B. To correct the movement.
C. To change her thinking.
D. To tell her to train harder.
3. How did Michelle feel after sharing her secret?
A. Quiet and careful.
B. Strong and purposeful.
C. Ashamed and regretful.
D. Depressed and anxious.
【答案】1. D 2. C 3. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述Michelle幼时怕水,却从一次游泳意外中领悟到直面恐惧的人生道理;她后练习花样游泳,经高强度训练搭档斩获世锦赛和奥运金牌,却为成功付出健康代价;受个人变故和对女儿的影响,她选择康复,分享自身经历的过程让她获得力量,也借此鼓励他人放下恐惧、摒弃完美执念。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“During her fourth attempt, she panicked, hit her chin on the pool edge, and sank to the bottom. As she sat there, something unexpected happened — she calmed down, and her body floated upward. Then she realized an important life lesson: when people relax and trust themselves, they rise; when fear takes over, they sink.(第四次尝试时,她慌了神,下巴撞到泳池边缘,整个人沉到了池底。就在她沉在水底的那一刻,一件意想不到的事发生了——她渐渐平静下来,身体也慢慢向上浮起。那一刻,她领悟到了一个重要的人生道理:人若放平心态、相信自己,便会向阳前行;若被恐惧裹挟,只会深陷低谷。)”可知,Michelle在第四次游泳尝试中沉到池底后冷静了下来,就在这时她领悟到了重要的人生道理。故选D。
【2题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“A turning point came weeks before the Worlds when her coach stopped her in the middle of a drill underwater and asked, “How would you perform if you were already a world champion?” This question changed how Michelle approached her training and goals.(世锦赛开幕前几周,一个转折点出现了。一次水下训练中,教练突然叫停了她,问道:“倘若你已是世界冠军,你会如何完成这些动作?”这个问题彻底改变了Michelle对待训练和目标的态度。)”可知,教练在水下训练中叫停Michelle并提出该问题,而这个问题彻底改变了Michelle对待训练和目标的思维方式,教练的这一行为正是为了转变她的想法。故选C。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Michelle’s fear was that, in her sharing “her secret”, she would feel unworthy of the achievements she had attained in sport. Just the opposite happened, though. She discovered speaking her truth became a source of personal strength, allowing her to finally stand firm in her own story and use it to encourage others to let go of fear, abandon perfection, and pursue their own greatness with honesty and joy.(Michelle曾满心顾虑,倘若将自己“秘密”公之于众,她会觉得自己不配拥有在赛场上取得的那些成就。但结果却截然相反。她发现,勇敢诉说自己的真实经历,竟成了个人力量的源泉。这让她终于能坚定地直面自己的人生故事,并以这份经历鼓励他人:放下内心的恐惧,摒弃对完美的执念,带着真诚与热爱,去追寻属于自己的精彩。)”可知,Michelle原本担心分享秘密后会觉得自己不配拥有过往成就,但实际结果截然相反,分享真相成为了她个人力量的源泉,她能坚定地直面自己的人生故事,还立志用自身经历鼓励他人追寻美好,这说明她分享后感到内心强大且有明确的目标。故选B。
B
Martin Luther King Jr. once said that people often achieve more than they can see at the moment. This idea helps us understand what honor really means.
In schools, honor is often connected with formal recognition. Students may feel proud when they are placed in honors classes, receive scholarships, or win competitions. These achievements show that someone has met a high standard. For example, winning an award in writing or art can bring public attention through announcements or displays. Such recognition makes achievements visible to others and can motivate students to keep working hard. Many students seek awards to make their families proud and improve college applications. In this way, traditions of awards and titles shape how honor is understood in everyday life.
However, honor is not limited to awards. Recognition can fade, but character lasts much longer. A student who works hard in a regular class may show more honor than a student who lacks effort in an honors class. labels on schedules do not always reflect commitment or responsibility. Teachers often expect honors students to show maturity, not just academic ability. Beyond school, people such as firefighters, police officers, and soldiers show honor through courage and service. Their actions are guided by responsibility and moral values, not by prizes.
With honor also comes responsibility. When someone earns a title, such as team captain or award winner, higher standards are expected. The expectation to maintain those standards is higher now, and one dishonorable act can ruin years of hard work. This shows the difference between short-term recognition and long-term honor. Awards may be short-lived, but honor built on strong values and consistent effort can last for generations.
In conclusion, while recognition feels rewarding, the habits and values developed along the way matter most. True honor comes not only from being noticed, but from maintaining honesty, effort, and responsibility over time.
4. Why do students often try to win awards according to the passage?
A. To learn their competition skills.
B. To achieve higher academic levels.
C. To please parents and help applications.
D. To follow traditions and maintain rules.
5. Why are firefighters mentioned in paragraph 3?
A. To compare different careers.
B. To call attention to them.
C. To explain the value of awards.
D. To show a deeper form of honor.
6. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Honor of Tradition B. Recognition of Honor
C. Honor Beyond Awards D. Achievements of Honor
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。探讨了荣誉的本质,指出荣誉不仅限于奖项等短期认可,更体现在长期的品格、责任与持续努力中。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Many students seek awards to make their families proud and improve college applications. (许多学生追求奖项是为了让家人感到骄傲,提升大学申请的竞争力)”可知,学生努力争取奖项是为了取悦父母并助力大学申请。故选C。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“However, honor is not limited to awards. Recognition can fade, but character lasts much longer. (然而,荣誉并不局限于奖项。认可会褪色,但品格会更长久)”及“Beyond school, people such as firefighters, police officers, and soldiers show honor through courage and service. Their actions are guided by responsibility and moral values, not by prizes. (在校园之外,消防员、警察和军人等人群通过勇气与奉献来彰显荣誉,他们的行为受责任与道德价值观指引,而非为了奖励)”可知,提到消防员是为了说明荣誉存在比奖项更深刻的形式。故选D。
【6题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“However, honor is not limited to awards. (然而,荣誉并不局限于奖项)”以及最后一段“True honor comes not only from being noticed, but from maintaining honesty, effort, and responsibility over time. (真正的荣誉不仅来自被关注,更来自长期保持诚实、付出努力和承担责任)”及通读全文可知,文章核心是荣誉的内涵超越了奖项。因此,“Honor Beyond Awards (超越奖项的荣誉)”最适合作为文章标题。故选C。
C
Along the Sussex coast, groups of people can sometimes be seen carefully examining seaweed, shells, and small creatures along the shore. While they may look like curious walkers, they are actually citizen scientists. Like children exploring rock pools, they observe nature closely — but unlike ordinary visitors, their findings are recorded as data. This information helps scientists understand the health of coastal ecosystems and can even influence environmental decisions.
Citizen science projects exist across the country. Volunteers can count butterflies in their gardens, record birds, or track sea litter. Some projects even involve studying historical documents or helping NASA search space events. These activities allow people of all interests to take part in real research.
Research shows that citizen science also improves personal health. A study by the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology found that in 2020, a period of high stress worldwide, 500 volunteers who completed short nature-based activities all showed improved health. Clinical psychologist (心理学家) Dr Kate Mason explains that working toward a shared goal creates a strong sense of belonging and purpose, which is especially important during stressful times.
For organisations, volunteers make big research possible. Ella Garrud from the Sussex Wildlife Trust explains, “Without volunteers, we could never collect this amount of data.” The data they gathered then goes into a big national database, where it is checked by experts and used to guide real environmental actions.
Citizen science also empowers individuals, who, like so many of us, might have been feeling helpless in the face of our ecological (生态的) crisis. Ruby Stothard from the Sussex Underwater team says, “It’s hard to feel you can make a difference, but you can. You can monitor nature first hand and record the recovery of nature in time and work with people who are trying to do the right thing.”
7. Why does the author mention children exploring rock pools?
A. To compare them with adults.
B. To show their love of the sea.
C. To help understand citizen science.
D. To explain the nature of observation.
8. What can be inferred from Dr Kate Mason’s comments?
A. The volunteers are well trained.
B. Stressful times are hard to face.
C. Goals are important for the participants.
D. Shared nature activities are mentally beneficial.
9. What is the main purpose of paragraph 4?
A. To stress the role of volunteers.
B. To describe the steps of data collection.
C. To explain the use of a national database.
D. To introduce the contributions of experts.
10. What does Ruby suggest the helpless people do?
A. Study ecology. B. Face any crisis.
C. Record personal progress. D. Get involved personally.
【答案】7. C 8. D 9. A 10. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了公民科学(Citizen Science)的内涵、形式及其在环保、个人健康和赋能个体等方面的积极作用。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“While they may look like curious walkers, they are actually citizen scientists. Like children exploring rock pools, they observe nature closely — but unlike ordinary visitors, their findings are recorded as data. (他们看起来或许像好奇的漫步者,但实际上他们是公民科学家。就像探索岩石池的孩子一样,他们会近距离观察自然,但与普通游客不同的是,他们的发现会被记录为数据)”可知,作者提到探索岩石池的孩子,是为了帮助读者理解公民科学的内涵。故选C。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“A study by the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology found that in 2020, a period of high stress worldwide, 500 volunteers who completed short nature-based activities all showed improved health. Clinical psychologist (心理学家) Dr Kate Mason explains that working toward a shared goal creates a strong sense of belonging and purpose, which is especially important during stressful times. (英国生态与水文中心的一项研究发现,在2020年这个全球高压力时期,完成了短期自然相关活动的500名志愿者健康状况都有所改善。临床心理学家Kate Mason博士解释说,为共同目标努力会产生强烈的归属感和目标感,这在充满压力的时候尤为重要)”可知,共享的自然活动对人们的心理是有益的。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“For organisations, volunteers make big research possible. Ella Garrud from the Sussex Wildlife Trust explains, “Without volunteers, we could never collect this amount of data.” (对机构而言,志愿者让大型研究成为可能。萨塞克斯野生动物信托的Ella Garrud解释说:“没有志愿者,我们永远无法收集到这么多数据”)”可知,第四段的主要目的是强调志愿者的作用。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Ruby Stothard from the Sussex Underwater team says, “It’s hard to feel you can make a difference, but you can. You can monitor nature first hand and record the recovery of nature in time and work with people who are trying to do the right thing.” (萨塞克斯水下团队的Ruby Stothard说:“你觉得自己很难能有所作为,但其实你可以做到。你可以亲自监测自然,及时记录自然的恢复情况,并与那些努力做正确事情的人合作。”)”可知,Ruby建议感到无助的人亲自参与进来。故选D。
第二节(共5小题;每小题3分,满分15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。
Food waste is a significant issue, with around a fifth of all food produced globally lost or wasted. This is not just a social issue, but also an environmental one. When food is wasted, all the resources that went into producing it are wasted too. ____11____
The production of different types of food requires varying amounts of water. Meat production, for instance, requires more water than the production of wheat, vegetables, or fruits. ____12____ Throwing away so much meat means that huge amounts of water are wasted along with it.
____13____ Beyond wasting water, food production also pollutes it. Agricultural activities, especially farming and livestock (家畜) production, are major sources of water pollution. Animal agriculture produces huge amounts of waste, which often flow from crowded factory farms into rivers, groundwater, and the ocean. ____14____ In addition, pesticides and fertilisers used are washed into waterways with soil, damaging the environment.
To save water and other resources, food waste must be reduced. ____15____ So change is badly needed at every stage of food production and consumption. In this way, it is possible to save water, ensure enough food and protect the environment.
A. There is another hidden cost.
B. Most loss occurs during transport.
C. However, cutting food waste is challenging.
D. Water use varies by a country’s development.
E. This further damages limited water resources.
F. Among them, water stands out as a critical loss.
G. Despite this, meat is the food that is thrown out the most.
【答案】11. F 12. G 13. A 14. E 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章阐述了食物浪费不仅是社会问题,也是严重的环境问题,重点分析了食物浪费对水资源的巨大损耗(肉类浪费尤甚)以及农业生产带来的水污染,最后呼吁减少浪费以节约资源、保护环境。
【11题详解】
上文“Food waste is a significant issue... When food is wasted, all the resources that went into producing it are wasted too. (食物浪费是一个严峻的全球性问题,约五分之一的产量在供应链中被损耗或丢弃。这不仅关乎社会资源分配,更直接冲击生态环境——被浪费的食物背后,是耕地、水源、能源等生产要素的无效消耗)”指出食物浪费导致生产资源的浪费。F选项“Among them, water stands out as a critical loss. (其中,水作为一项关键损失尤为突出)”顺承上文,在泛指的“所有资源(all the resources)”中特别点出“水”这一核心资源,从而引出下文对水资源浪费的详细论述。故选F项。
【12题详解】
上文“The production of different types of food requires varying amounts of water. Meat production, for instance, requires more water than the production of wheat, vegetables, or fruits. (不同类型食物的生产需要不同量的水。例如,肉类生产比小麦、蔬菜或水果的生产需要更多的水)”说明肉类生产耗水量大。G选项“Despite this, meat is the food that is thrown out the most. (尽管如此,肉类却是被丢弃最多的食物)”通过“Despite this”与上文构成转折,指出高耗水的肉类恰好是浪费最严重的,从而将高耗水性与高浪费率联系起来,凸显了肉类浪费对水资源的双重打击。故选G项。
【13题详解】
下文“Beyond wasting water, food production also pollutes it. (除了浪费水,食物生产还会污染水)”将话题从“浪费水”转向“污染水”。A选项“There is another hidden cost. (还有另一个隐性成本)”位于段首,用“another”承接上段关于“浪费”的讨论,同时用“hidden cost (隐性成本)”巧妙引出下文要揭示的新问题——水污染,起到了承上启下的过渡作用。故选A项。
【14题详解】
上文“Animal agriculture produces huge amounts of waste, which often flow from crowded factory farms into rivers, groundwater, and the ocean. (畜牧业产生大量废物,这些废物常常从拥挤的工厂化农场流入河流、地下水和海洋)”具体描述了畜牧业废物如何污染水体。E选项“This further damages limited water resources. (这进一步损害了有限的水资源)”顺承上文,用“This”指代上文的污染行为,并总结其后果是“进一步损害”本已有限的水资源,强化了污染问题的严重性,与段首的“hidden cost”相呼应。故选E项。
【15题详解】
上文“To save water and other resources, food waste must be reduced. (为了节约水和其他资源,必须减少食物浪费)”提出了减少浪费的必要性目标。C选项“However, cutting food waste is challenging. (然而,减少食物浪费是具有挑战性的)”通过“However”转折,在明确目标后指出了实现过程中的现实困难,使论述更加客观全面。这为下文“So change is badly needed at every stage of food production and consumption.(因此,在食品生产和消费的每个阶段都亟需改变)”的呼吁提供了背景和紧迫性。故选C项。

61. 阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Local food refers to food that is grown, produced, and sold within a nearby area. In recent years, more people have become interested in local food systems because of their long-term benefits.
Local food travels shorter distances, so it usually reaches consumers more quickly. This allows fruits, vegetables, and dairy products to stay fresher and keep more of their natural vitamins. For example, tomatoes picked locally can taste sweeter than those shipped from far away, and milk can stay fresher without added chemicals. Fresher food also encourages people to cook and eat healthy meals at home. Farmers’ markets, community-supported agriculture programs, and local shops make it easy for families to access fresh produce regularly, helping them develop better eating habits over time.
Local food systems are better for the environment. Transporting food over long distances consumes large amounts of fuel and produces greenhouse gases. By relying on nearby farms, communities can reduce these gases and limit air pollution. Many local farmers use environmental-friendly methods, such as natural fertilizers and water-saving ways of watering plants. These practices protect soil quality, save water, and preserve local ecosystems. In addition, supporting local farms can prevent cities from spreading too far and protect farmland. Choosing local food helps communities live in a cleaner and more environmentally-friendly way.
Local food improves a steady food supply. Relying too much on global food supply chains can be risky during natural disasters, extreme weather, or economic problems. Local food systems provide a more reliable supply because nearby farms can continue producing essential items even when imports are delayed. For example, during floods or storms, a community with local vegetables and grains can maintain access to fresh food. Supporting local farmers also strengthens the local economy, creates jobs, and ensures that residents have consistent access to nutritious meals throughout the year.
Looking ahead, local food has the potential to play even bigger roles in people’s lives. Local food systems can continue to expand and benefit future generations.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Local food, grown and sold nearby, offers many lasting advantages. It’s fresher and more nutritious because it travels less. Buying local also helps protect the environment by cutting transport pollution and encouraging responsible farming. Additionally, local food systems reduce dependence on global supply chains and strengthen connections between people and food sources, contributing to a healthier and more sustainable society.

A
Michelle Coulter grew up with her mother’s belief that swimming was a necessary life skill. But she was afraid of water. She failed her swimming test four times. During her fourth attempt, she panicked, hit her chin on the pool edge, and sank to the bottom. As she sat there, something unexpected happened — she calmed down, and her body floated upward. Then she realized an important life lesson: when people relax and trust themselves, they rise; when fear takes over, they sink.
Michelle began artistic swimming at the age of thirteen. A few years later, she joined the senior team. She was paired with an Olympic silver medalist, and they went to their first World Championships together. She trained intensely six to eight hours daily under a tough coach, using science-based methods to prepare for it.
A turning point came weeks before the Worlds when her coach stopped her in the middle of a drill underwater and asked, “How would you perform if you were already a world champion?” This question changed how Michelle approached her training and goals. Instead of worrying about mistakes, she focused on performing each movement as if she already belonged at the top level. Against strong competitors, she and her partner won the World Championship and later, Olympic gold.
Success came at the expense of her health, as body pressure in a judged sport pushed her toward extreme dieting and harmful habits. After the Olympics, the problem worsened until she experienced serious personal loss. Later, seeing the effect of her behavior on her daughters became another wake-up call. Michelle finally chose recovery. She had a heart-to- heart talk with her daughters.
Michelle’s fear was that, in her sharing “her secret”, she would feel unworthy of the achievements she had attained in sport. Just the opposite happened, though. She discovered speaking her truth became a source of personal strength, allowing her to finally stand firm in her own story and use it to encourage others to let go of fear, abandon perfection, and pursue their own greatness with honesty and joy.
1. When did Michelle learn an important life lesson?
A. When she passed the test.
B. When she hit her chin.
C. When she tried the third time.
D. When she relaxed after sinking.
2. Why did the coach stop Michelle in the middle of a drill?
A. To calm her.
B. To correct the movement.
C. To change her thinking.
D. To tell her to train harder.
3. How did Michelle feel after sharing her secret?
A. Quiet and careful.
B. Strong and purposeful.
C. Ashamed and regretful.
D. Depressed and anxious.
B
Martin Luther King Jr. once said that people often achieve more than they can see at the moment. This idea helps us understand what honor really means.
In schools, honor is often connected with formal recognition. Students may feel proud when they are placed in honors classes, receive scholarships, or win competitions. These achievements show that someone has met a high standard. For example, winning an award in writing or art can bring public attention through announcements or displays. Such recognition makes achievements visible to others and can motivate students to keep working hard. Many students seek awards to make their families proud and improve college applications. In this way, traditions of awards and titles shape how honor is understood in everyday life.
However, honor is not limited to awards. Recognition can fade, but character lasts much longer. A student who works hard in a regular class may show more honor than a student who lacks effort in an honors class. labels on schedules do not always reflect commitment or responsibility. Teachers often expect honors students to show maturity, not just academic ability. Beyond school, people such as firefighters, police officers, and soldiers show honor through courage and service. Their actions are guided by responsibility and moral values, not by prizes.
With honor also comes responsibility. When someone earns a title, such as team captain or award winner, higher standards are expected. The expectation to maintain those standards is higher now, and one dishonorable act can ruin years of hard work. This shows the difference between short-term recognition and long-term honor. Awards may be short-lived, but honor built on strong values and consistent effort can last for generations.
In conclusion, while recognition feels rewarding, the habits and values developed along the way matter most. True honor comes not only from being noticed, but from maintaining honesty, effort, and responsibility over time.
4. Why do students often try to win awards according to the passage?
A. To learn their competition skills.
B. To achieve higher academic levels.
C. To please parents and help applications.
D. To follow traditions and maintain rules.
5. Why are firefighters mentioned in paragraph 3?
A. To compare different careers.
B. To call attention to them.
C. To explain the value of awards.
D. To show a deeper form of honor.
6. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Honor of Tradition B. Recognition of Honor
C. Honor Beyond Awards D. Achievements of Honor
C
Along the Sussex coast, groups of people can sometimes be seen carefully examining seaweed, shells, and small creatures along the shore. While they may look like curious walkers, they are actually citizen scientists. Like children exploring rock pools, they observe nature closely — but unlike ordinary visitors, their findings are recorded as data. This information helps scientists understand the health of coastal ecosystems and can even influence environmental decisions.
Citizen science projects exist across the country. Volunteers can count butterflies in their gardens, record birds, or track sea litter. Some projects even involve studying historical documents or helping NASA search space events. These activities allow people of all interests to take part in real research.
Research shows that citizen science also improves personal health. A study by the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology found that in 2020, a period of high stress worldwide, 500 volunteers who completed short nature-based activities all showed improved health. Clinical psychologist (心理学家) Dr Kate Mason explains that working toward a shared goal creates a strong sense of belonging and purpose, which is especially important during stressful times.
For organisations, volunteers make big research possible. Ella Garrud from the Sussex Wildlife Trust explains, “Without volunteers, we could never collect this amount of data.” The data they gathered then goes into a big national database, where it is checked by experts and used to guide real environmental actions.
Citizen science also empowers individuals, who, like so many of us, might have been feeling helpless in the face of our ecological (生态的) crisis. Ruby Stothard from the Sussex Underwater team says, “It’s hard to feel you can make a difference, but you can. You can monitor nature first hand and record the recovery of nature in time and work with people who are trying to do the right thing.”
7 Why does the author mention children exploring rock pools?
A. To compare them with adults.
B. To show their love of the sea.
C. To help understand citizen science.
D. To explain the nature of observation.
8 What can be inferred from Dr Kate Mason’s comments?
A. The volunteers are well trained.
B. Stressful times are hard to face.
C. Goals are important for the participants.
D. Shared nature activities are mentally beneficial.
9. What is the main purpose of paragraph 4?
A. To stress the role of volunteers.
B. To describe the steps of data collection.
C. To explain the use of a national database.
D. To introduce the contributions of experts.

61. 阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Local food refers to food that is grown, produced, and sold within a nearby area. In recent years, more people have become interested in local food systems because of their long-term benefits.
Local food travels shorter distances so it usually reaches consumers more quickly. This allows fruits, vegetables, and dairy products to stay fresher and keep more of their natural vitamins. For example, tomatoes picked locally can taste sweeter than those shipped from far away, and milk can stay fresher without added chemicals. Fresher food also encourages people to cook and eat healthy meals at home. Farmers’ markets, community-supported agriculture programs, and local shops make it easy for families to access fresh produce regularly, helping them develop better eating habits over time.
Local food systems are better for the environment. Transporting food over long distances consumes large amounts of fuel and produces greenhouse gases. By relying on nearby farms, communities can reduce these gases and limit air pollution. Many local farmers use environmental-friendly methods, such as natural fertilizers and water-saving ways of watering plants. These practices protect soil quality, save water, and preserve local ecosystems. In addition, supporting local farms can prevent cities from spreading too far and protect farmland. Choosing local food helps communities live in a cleaner and more environmentally-friendly way.
Local food improves a steady food supply. Relying too much on global food supply chains can be risky during natural disasters, extreme weather, or economic problems. Local food systems provide a more reliable supply because nearby farms can continue producing essential items even when imports are delayed. For example, during floods or storms, a community with local vegetables and grains can maintain access to fresh food. Supporting local farmers also strengthens the local economy, creates jobs, and ensures that residents have consistent access to nutritious meals throughout the year.
Looking ahead, local food has the potential to play even bigger roles in people’s lives. Local food systems can continue to expand and benefit future generations.
