Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
The over 48,000 orange trees in Seville, Spain, not only fill the city's air with the pleasant smell of orange blossoms in spring, but they also produce over 16,500 tons of fruit every winter.Though that makes the capital of southern Spain's Andalusia region Europe's top orangeproducing city, the fruit is too sour to be consumed fresh.While some of the produce is used to make orange jam and an alcoholic drink, most of it ends up in Seville's landfills (填埋场).However, that may change soon thanks to a clever idea to use the oranges to produce clean energy.
The trial programme is being launched by the city's council and park department in cooperation with Emasesa, Seville's water supply and sanitation (卫生) division.Juice from 38.6 tons of oranges will be left to ferment (发酵) in a specialised facility.The methane (甲烷) released from the fermented liquid will be captured and used to drive a generator to produce clean power.The officials estimate the test run will produce about 1,500 kwh of energy—enough to run one of Emasesa's water purification plants.To ensure there is no waste, the orange skins, peels, and flesh will be used as fertiliser.
“It's not just about saving money.The oranges are a problem for the city, and we're producing added value from waste,” said Benigno Lopez, head of Emasesa's environmental department.
If successful, by 2023, the city hopes to recycle all the oranges and add the electricity produced back into its power transmission network.In trial runs, one ton of oranges produced 50 kwh of clean energy—enough to cover the daily electricity needs of five homes.The project team estimates that if all the fruit is recycled, it will produce enough energy to power as many as 73,000 residences.
“This project will help us to reach our targets for reducing emissions, energy self sufficiency, and the circular economy,” Juan Espadas Cejas, mayor of Seville, said in the press conference announcing the trial programme.
[语篇解读] 这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍西班牙城市塞维利亚的冬季是橙色的季节,但是当地近16 500吨的橙子大部分都被作为垃圾掩埋。然而,这一现象即将改变,这些无用的橙子将被用来生产清洁能源。

A.Different uses of Seville oranges.
B.Ways to produce power from juice.
C.An introduction to the trial programme.
D.Reasons for launching the trial programme.

B.Seville hasn't carried out the trial programme yet.
C.The electricity produced will go to Seville's power plants.
D.14,600 tons of recycled oranges are needed to power 73,000 homes.
解析:D [推理判断题。根据第四段第二、三句话“In trial runs, one ton of oranges produced 50 kwh of clean energy—enough to cover the daily electricity needs of five homes.The project team estimates that if all the fruit is recycled, it will produce enough energy to power as many as 73,000 residences.(在试运行中,一吨橙子产生50千瓦时的清洁能源,足以满足五户家庭的日常电力需求。项目团队估计,如果所有的水果都能被回收利用,它将产生足够的能量为多达73 000户居民供电。)”可知,一吨橙子产生的清洁能源足以满足五户家庭的日常电力需求。由此可知,73 000个家庭则需要14 600吨的橙子。故选D。]
4.What is Juan Espadas Cejas' attitude towards this project?
A.It is risky but beneficial.
B.It is helpful and worth trying.
C.It is crazy and cannot become a reality.
D.It is impractical though possible in theory.
解析:B [推理判断题。根据最后一段“‘This project will help us to reach our targets for reducing emissions, energy selfsufficiency, and the circular economy,’Juan Espadas Cejas, mayor of Seville, said in the press conference announcing the trial programme.(维利亚市长胡安·埃斯帕达斯·塞哈斯在宣布试验计划的新闻发布会上表示:“该项目将帮助我们实现减排、能源自给和循环经济的目标。”)。”可知,维利亚市长胡安·埃斯帕达斯·塞哈斯认为这个实验项目是有帮助的并且值得一试的。故选B。]

The Smithsonian National Zoo in Washington began a sixmonth celebration on March 16 of the 50th anniversary of the arrival of two giant pandas, celebrating the close cooperation between China and the United States in panda exchanges and preservation.On April 16, visitors can enjoy lion dance performances, and calligraphy exhibitions.They also can speak with the zoo's scientists and watch the pandas receive special nutritious treats.
In 1972, thenUS President Richard Nixon and his wife, Pat, made a historic visit to China.At an appreciation dinner before they left China, Premier Zhou Enlai told Pat that China would present the US with two pandas, which surprised and delighted her.
The pandas, LingLing and Hsing Hsing, arrived at the National Zoo on April 16, 1972.They lived there for more than 20 years, before passing away in the 1990s.
A new panda couple, Mei Xiang and Tian Tian, arrived at the zoo in 2000.They still live at the zoo with their cub, Xiao QiJi (Little Miracle).The couple's other three cubs, Tai Shan, Bao Bao and Bei Bei were returned to China.
“After 50 years, giant pandas remain an iconic species for our zoo,” said Brandie Smith, director of the national zoo.“More importantly, they show how great conservation outcomes can be achieved through great partnerships with our Chinese colleagues.”
Usually, Smith and her coworkers visit their Chinese partners several times a year to share knowledge about pandas.Chinese experts also go to the US.During the pandemic, they have communicated through emails and video calls.Smith said it has been “as good as it always is” as they have had a good relationship for many years.She said she hopes the program will last at least 50 more years.Chinese Ambassador to the US Cui Tiankai said “We are connected again in the growth of our little ambassador.”
The pandas have been seen by tens of millions of US people, Brooklyn, a 3yearold girl, said she wanted more panda mommies and panda babies to come to the zoo.

Ⅱ.阅读填句
With time and experience, most adults know that not getting enough sleep can be harmful to us. Too bad, teens don't see that connection so clearly. It's up to parents to convey the importance of sleeping enough. __1__
Play up the positives. Sometimes it helps to point out the benefits that come with changing behaviour. In this case,not only will quality sleep help teens focus better in school and feel happier. Overall, it can improve the appearance of their skin. __2__
Lay stress on consistency. A lot of teenagers, and even grownups, think they can spend less time on shuteye during the week if they make up for it on the weekend. Not true. An extra hour or two of sleep on Saturday and Sunday can do us more harm than good. __3__ As a result, it is hard to fall asleep at the appropriate time on Sunday evening.
Give the hard facts. __4__ That's why it's so important to explain what it feels like to be too tired to get behind the wheel.Promise your teen that he can always call you to pick him up no matter where he is or what time it is, if he's too sleepy to drive.
5__ Sleep isn't as fun as texting with friends and it seems less necessary than cramming for an exam. Help your teen view sleep as a priority (优先事项)by making it one in your own life as well. Set up a family charging station for electronic devices outside of the bedrooms, so phones can be powered up overnight without tempting (引诱) anyone to check messages. Leave your own devices there when you go to bed. Rarely is anything so important that it can't wait until after a good night's sleep.
A.Lead by example.
B.Set aside quality family time.
C.These four tips will show you how.
D.It disturbs a person's internal body clock.
E.It is important for us to realise the importance of a good sleep.
F.It's reported that one out of five traffic accidents involves a sleepy driver.
G.It also keeps them from getting sick and helps them keep a healthy weight.

2.G [根据第二段内容可以看出,本段主要讲述了足够的睡眠给孩子们带来的好处。选项G“它还让他们远离疾病,并帮助他们保持健康的体重”同样也是充足的睡眠带来的好处,符合语境。故选G。]

4.F [空格后的“那就是解释疲劳驾驶的感觉是如此重要的原因”应是对空格处内容做出的解释。选项F“据报道,五分之一的交通事故与司机犯困有关”符合语境。故选F。]
5.A [本空位于段首。根据空格后文可知,如果手机在卧室外充电,就可以避免看手机信息。睡觉时,就把手机放在那里。所以本段主要讲述的是家长要以身作则,故选项A“以身作则”符合语境。故选A。]

[参考范文]
Recently, a survey has been conducted to learn about what transport people take to and from work among 568 people.
It can be seen from the figures that those who favor public transport account for 40%. And as the diagram shows, the percentage of those who drive to and from work reaches 30.5%. Some people can't be bothered to adopt a greener way. Only a small percentage of people choose to walk or cycle to and from work.
Burning fossil fuels will worsen the already serious problem of too many greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, too many cars will take up many parking spaces, making our city more crowded. The growing car emissions are causing great problems globally. Therefore, we should take action to cut back on the use of fossil fuels.

[参考范文]
We have conducted a survey recently about how much time Senior 3 students can sleep every day among 150 students in a senior high school.According to Chart 1,sixtytwo percent of the students sleep for less than seven hours each day,while thirtysix percent of them can sleep for seven to eight hours.However,only two percent of the students sleep over eight hours.We can conclude that most of the Senior 3 students don't have enough sleep.
From Chart 2,we learn of the reasons.One is that thirtyfour percent of the students stay up late studying.I think we should sleep well at night so that we can wake up feeling more refreshed.So we can make the best of daytime and study better.
