For years she felt she’d simply lacked (缺乏) a focus, a drive. Approaching fifty, each year felt the same. She needed to shake things up. Then, one day. Claire had a sudden idea after learning about the feats (壮举) of others. “I mentioned to friends that I was looking for a challenge, and then came across Elise Downing, who ran the UK’s coast in ten months, and a guy called Christian Lewis, who did it over a number of years. ” Claire says. “ It seemed like fate (命运)—— and it made sense. ” Claire decided then that she, too, would walk the UK’s coast. And she set off on her journey last summer. The journey did present a few challenges. For Claire, the struggles seemed small compared to what she got. “Having to find a place to sleep made me choose a cause to raise money for Shelter and Only A Pavement Away, two amazing homeless charities. When it was cold and wet, I could find shelter in free and warm libraries or railway waiting rooms, providing a safe space for a single woman. I’d meet homeless people there and talk to them about their lives.and then buy them a cup of tea or something to eat. ” Finally, on Sunday, July 28— after over 4,000 miles, 50 weeks, and the UK’s three highest places — she was back at John O'Groats where she’d started. Claire says she is now sure that she will do another big mission (任务) soon, but more hopes that her story can inspire others to step out of their comfort zone(舒适区). “Hopefully I’ve made the world a better place and inspired at least one other person to head out and take on a big challenge, to make them feel alive again.” Claire adds. 4.

For years she felt she’d simply lacked (缺乏) a focus, a drive. Approaching fifty, each year felt the same. She needed to shake things up. (克莱尔·艾伦有自己的房子，一份她喜欢的好工作和一个充满爱的家庭，但缺少了一些东西。多年来，她觉得自己只是缺乏专注力和动力。接近第五十岁，每年都有同样的感觉。她需要改变现状。)”可知，克莱尔生活安稳却觉得单调，渴望改变现状，由此可推断她希望在生活中做出改变。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Then, one day. Claire had a sudden idea after learning about the feats (壮举) of others. “I mentioned to friends that I was looking for a challenge, and then came across Elise Downing, who ran the UK’s coast in ten months, and a guy called Christian Lewis, who did it over a number of years. ” Claire says. (然后，有一天。克莱尔在了解了其他人的功绩后突然想到了一个主意。克莱尔说：“我向朋友们提到我在寻找挑战，然后遇到了Elise Downing，她在十个月内跑了英国海岸，还有一个叫Christian Lewis的人，他做了很多年。”)”可知，是他人取得的成就（完成英国海岸相关挑战）激励克莱尔开启自己的旅程。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段 “For Claire, the struggles seemed small compared to what she got. “Having to find a place to sleep made me choose a cause to raise money for Shelter and Only A Pavement Away, two amazing homeless charities.(对克莱尔来说，这些困难与她的收获相比微不足道。“不得不寻找住宿的经历，让我决定为“Shelter”和“Only A Pavement Away”这两家出色的无家可归者慈善机构筹款。”)”可知，在艰难寻找住宿后，克莱尔决定为无家可归者慈善机构筹款。故选C项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Claire says she is now sure that she will do another big mission (任务) soon, but more hopes that her story can inspire others to step out of their comfort zone(舒适区). “Hopefully I’ve made the world a better place and inspired at least one other person to head out and take on a big challenge, to make them feel alive again.“ Claire adds. (克莱尔说，她现在确信自己很快就会完成另一项重大任务，但更多的人希望她的故事能激励其他人走出他们的舒适区。“希望我让世界变得更美好，并激励至少另一个人走出去接受一项重大挑战，让他们再次感受到活力。”克莱尔补充道。)”可知，克莱尔分享自己的经历，是希望鼓励人们挑战自我。故选B项。 C Those in Generation Z, born between 1997 and 2012, are the first to grow up with smartphones everywhere and they’re also among those most likely to believe misinformation, according to a new study led by researchers from the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Canada and the University of Cambridge in the UK. The main purpose of the study is to assess the acceptance of misinformation among different groups of people in different countries. The idea wasn’t to call out particular groups for being more gullible than others, but to get a better understanding of the danger that misinformation poses: to public health, to the future of the planet, and to modern democracies. The researchers used an online test designed by psychologists to poll 66,242 people across 24 countries. The quiz, called the Misinformation Susceptibility Test (MIST), takes a couple of minutes to complete and asks participants to rank news headlines as real or fake. Some questions about age, education and country are also asked, and participants are invited to assess their own ability to spot fake news — another measure this latest study made use of. While the differences between groups weren’t huge, those most likely to label real news as fake or vice versa were those in Generation Z, those who were identified as non-male, and those who were less educated. There was a twist (意外之处): Generation Z had a better-than-average awareness of their own strengths and shortcomings in terms of spotting misinformation than other groups, while more educated groups overestimated their skill in distinguishing real news from fake news. “There’s still this widespread misconception that digital natives are better at navigation these environments,” says UBC psychologist Friedrich Götz. “That has been proved wrong in the academic world for quite a few years, but I don’t think it has translated into public consciousness.” The researchers want to see more done by governments and educators to raise awareness of misinformation and the serious damage it can do. It’s also a reminder to be alert when weighing up news headlines — even if you think you’re pretty good at not being fooled. 8. Why is Generation Z specially mentioned in the study? A. They are active. B. They are phone lovers. C. They are educated. D. They are digital natives. 9. What does the underlined word “gullible” mean in paragraph 2? A. Easy to be taken in. B. Rare to be heard of. C. Vital to be shown off. D. Hard to be picked out. 10. How did the researchers conduct the study? A. By analyzing news reports. B. By giving an online quiz. C. By observing people’s behavior. D. By interviewing people face to face. 11. What is expected by the researchers? A. To ban teens’ smartphone use. B. To reduce online news access. C. To enhance people’s awareness. D. To create stricter fake news laws. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了一项由英属哥伦比亚大学和剑桥大学联合开展的跨国研究显示，1997–2012年出生的“Z世代”虽然自幼伴随智能手机成长，却最容易把真假新闻搞混；他们反倒比高学历群体更清楚自己在辨别假新闻方面的不足。研究强调，误信息对公共健康、地球未来和民主制度构成威胁，呼吁政府和教育机构加强相关教育与防范。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Those in Generation Z, born between 1997 and 2012, are the first to grow up with smartphones everywhere and they’re also among those most likely to believe misinformation, according to a new study led by researchers from the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Canada and the University of Cambridge in the UK. The main purpose of the study is to assess the acceptance of misinformation among different groups of people in different countries.(一项由加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚大学（UBC）和英国剑桥大学研究人员牵头的新研究发现，出生于1997年至2012年间的Z世代是首批在智能手机无处不在的环境中成长起来的一代人，他们也是最容易轻信错误信息的人群之一。该研究的主要目的是评估不同国家不同群体对错误信息的接受程度)”可知，这项研究特别提到了Z世代是因为他们是数字时代的原住民。故选D。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“The idea wasn’t to call out particular groups for being more gullible than others, but to get a better understanding of the danger that misinformation poses: to public health, to the future of the planet, and to modern democracies.(其目的并非是要指责某些特定群体比其他群体更gullible，而是为了更深入地理解错误信息所带来的危害：对公众健康、对地球的未来，以及对现代民主制度的危害)”可知，作者强调研究目的并不是为了“指出某些群体比群体更gullible”，研究关注的是人们对misinformation(错误信息)的接受程度，因此gullible显然与“轻信、容易上当”有关。由此可知，gullible和Easy to be taken in“容易上当受骗”意思相近。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The researchers used an online test designed by psychologists to poll 66,242 people across 24 countries.(研究人员使用心理学家设计的在线测试，对来自24个国家的66,242人进行了调查)”可知，研究人员是通过进行在线测试来开展这项研究的，故选B。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The researchers want to see more done by governments and educators to raise awareness of misinformation and the serious damage it can do.(研究人员希望政府和教育工作者能采取更多行动，提高人们对错误信息的认识，以及了解其可能造成的严重危害)”可知，研究人员期望提高人们的意识。故选C。 D Urban agriculture, the practice of farming within the limits of a city, is becoming increasingly popular worldwide and is considered a way to make cities and urban food systems more sustainable. Despite strong evidence of the social and nutritional benefits of urban agriculture, its carbon footprint remains understudied. Most previously published studies have focused on high-tech, energy-intensive forms of urban agriculture —such as vertical (垂直的) farms and rooftop greenhouses. The new study aimed to fill some of the knowledge gaps by comparing the carbon footprints of food produced at low-tech urban agriculture sites to conventional crops. The researchers calculated the greenhouse gas emissions (排放) associated with on-farm materials and activities over the lifetime of the farm. The emissions, expressed in kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalents per serving of food, were then compared to foods raised by conventional methods. Farmers and gardeners at urban agriculture sites across the world were employed to use daily diary entries to take down inputs—the materials used to construct farms and cultivate crops—and harvests from their food-growing sites throughout the 2019 season. “By assessing actual inputs and outputs on urban agriculture sites, we were able to determine climate change impacts to each serving of produce,” says study co-lead author Benjamin Goldstein, assistant professor in the School for Environment and Sustainability. On average, food produced through urban agriculture released 0.42 kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalents per serving, six times higher than the 0.07 kg CO2e per serving of conventionally grow n produce. It’s also found that most of the climate impacts at urban farms are driven by the infrastructure (基础设施), such as the raised beds in which food is grown, or pathways between plots. “These farms typically only operate for a few years, so the greenhouse gases used to produce those materials are not used effectively. Conventional agriculture, instead, is very efficient and hard to compete with”, Goldstein says. For example, conventional farms often grow a single crop with the help of pesticides and fertilizers, resulting in larger harvests and a reduced carbon footprint when compared to urban farms, he says. 12. What is a benefit of urban agriculture? A. Sustainable food supply. B. High food output. C. Effective energy conservation. D. Low carbon footprint. 13. How is the research data collected? A. By accessing online database. B. By examining previous studies. C. By conducting personal interviews. D. By recording information every day. 14. What could be done to reduce carbon footprint according to Goldstein? A. Increase varieties of crops. B. Extend infrastructure lifetimes. C. Promote rooftop greenhouses. D. Use modern agriculture facilities. 15. What is the passage mainly about? A. The benefits of traditional crops. B. The popularity of urban agriculture. C. The strategies to fight global warming. D. The carbon footprint of urban farm produce. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文为说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于城市农场产品的碳足迹的研究。研究发现，城市农场产品的碳足迹比传统农场碳足迹高很多，同时探讨了解决方案。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Urban agriculture, the practice of farming within the limits of a city, is becoming increasingly popular worldwide and is considered a way to make cities and urban food systems more sustainable.(城市农业，即在城市范围内耕种的做法，在世界范围内越来越受欢迎，被认为是使城市和城市粮食系统更具可持续性的一种方式)”可知，城市农业的一个好处是能让城市和城市粮食系统更具有可持续性，故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Farmers and gardeners at urban agriculture sites across the world were employed to use daily diary entries to take down inputs—the materials used to construct farms and cultivate crops—and harvests from their food-growing sites throughout the 2019 season.(在2019年的整个季节，世界各地的城市农业站点的农民和园丁都被雇佣使用每日日记条目来记录投入——用于建造农场和种植作物的材料——以及他们的食物种植站点的收成)”可知，该研究收集数据的方式是让农民和园丁用日记条目的方式记录城市农场的投入与产出，故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“These farms typically only operate for a few years, so the greenhouse gases used to produce those materials are not used effectively.(这些农场通常只经营几年，因此用于生产这些材料的温室气体没有得到有效利用)”可知，降低城市农场农产品的碳足迹需要充分利用基础设施设备，即延长使用年限，故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Urban agriculture, the practice of farming within the limits of a city, is becoming increasingly popular worldwide and is considered a way to make cities and urban food systems more sustainable. Despite strong evidence of the social and nutritional benefits of urban agriculture, its carbon footprint remains understudied.(城市农业，即在城市范围内耕种的做法，在世界范围内越来越受欢迎，被认为是使城市和城市粮食系统更具可持续性的一种方式。尽管有强有力的证据表明城市农业的社会和营养效益，但其碳足迹仍未得到充分研究)”结合文章主要介绍了一项关于城市农场产品的碳足迹的研究。研究发现，城市农场产品的碳足迹比传统农场碳足迹高很多，同时探讨了解决方案。即这篇文章主要讲的是城市农产品的碳足迹。故选D。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。 How to Get Better at Doing Things Alone In a time of loneliness, it may seem strange to spare alone time.

I never have to eat that peanut soup again, which had an apricot in it.”可知，这是关于母亲糟糕厨艺的具体食物记忆，因此是“与食物相关的”念头。故选A项。 【29题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：它就是一棵普通的树，但它结的苹果足以为一支军队翻山越岭提供能量。A. huge巨大的；B. tough坚韧的；C. regular普通的；D. beautiful美丽的。根据后文“but it produces enough apples to ____ an army”的转折可知，此处强调虽然树“普通”，但产量惊人。故选C项。 【30题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：它就是一棵普通的树，但它结的苹果足以为一支军队翻山越岭提供能量。A. follow跟随；B. power为……提供动力；C. defeat击败；D. establish建立。苹果是食物，根据后文“an army over a mountain”可知，此处表示苹果树结的果实很多，多到能为行军提供能量，所以用“power”。故选B项。 【31题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：我会说：“不，我家没人爱吃苹果，我自己甚至都不喜欢水果。”她就会接着说：“那只要最上面这37个苹果怎么样？”，我还是会回答：“不行。”。A. company公司；B. school学校；C. town城镇；D. family家庭，家人。根据“nobody”和后文“I don’t even like”可推知，作者为了拒绝母亲的苹果，说家里没有人喜欢苹果。故选D项。 32题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：我会说：“不，我家没人爱吃苹果，我自己甚至都不喜欢水果。”她就会接着说：“那只要最上面这37个苹果怎么样？”，我还是会回答：“不行。”。A. treats款待；B. candy糖果；C. cuisines菜肴；D. fruit水果。根据上文“No, nobody in my ____ likes apples and I don’t even like”以及常识可知，苹果属于“水果”，作者为了强调自己不喜欢苹果，甚至说自己不喜欢任何“水果”。故选D项。 【33题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：当然，这个秋天，我一直被必须吃完所有这些苹果的念头所驱使。A. spared饶恕；B. motivated激励；C. driven驱使；D. rejected拒绝。根据后文“I’ve made a lot of things with apples, and I’ve eaten vast amounts of food that are apple-associated”可知，作者不得不处理大量苹果，所以是被这个“need”所“驱使”。故选C项。 【34题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：随着这个季节接近尾声，我再怎么强调也不为过。A. season季节；B. project项目；C. celebration庆祝；D. festival节日。根据前文“this autumn”以及苹果是秋季产物可知，此处表示这个季节即将结束。故选A项。 【35题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：随着这个季节接近尾声，我再怎么强调也不为过。A. care关心；B. respect尊重；C. stress强调；D. laugh笑。根据下文“enough: eat your mother’s apples while she’s still alive.

His teacher introduced him as a new student from Turkey. Before he could sit down, a big boy named Bob pressed his fist to his mouth and made a strange sound — “Gobble-gobble!” Laughter broke out. Mustafa had no idea what it meant, but he knew it wasn’t friendly. Later, Sam, a quiet boy who sat in front of him, explained, “Bob is making fun of you. ‘Gobble’ is the sound of a turkey — the bird Americans eat on Thanksgiving.” Mustafa forced a smile, but the teasing only grew worse. In the following days, Bob gobbled in the hallway, at the water fountain, even during break. Though Mustafa tried to ignore him, the sound followed him everywhere. Mustafa, who was much shorter than Bob, was running out of patience. The turning point came when a soccer game was announced before Thanksgiving celebration. Mustafa’s eyes lit up upon hearing the news that they would be divided into two teams to play, because he grew up playing soccer, or “futbol” as he called it, Turkey’s national sport. But when captains chose teams, he was picked last. Apparently, they doubted his skills because of his short and slim figure. Captain Oliver even sent him to the bench, saying he’d put him in after they took the lead. Heartbroken yet determined, Mustafa practiced alone on the bench. His skills were impressive — dribbling(带球), kneeing, and heading the ball with precision. The entire class watched in amazement. “Come on in,” Oliver, finally said. On the field, Oliver passed him the ball. “We’re down 3-2 — hurry!” Mustafa’s talent shone when he finally played. Two defenders rushed him, but Mustafa skillfully dribbled past them and ran to the goal. The goalkeeper was Bob, who mocked, “Gobble-gobble!” Mustafa tricked him easily and scored, tying the game. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 With two minutes left, Mustafa got the ball again. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Bob hung his head in embarrassment as Mustafa’s team cheered loudly. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 With two minutes left, Mustafa got the ball again. His heart pounded with excitement and determination. He dribbled the ball with incredible speed, weaving through the remaining defenders as if they were mere obstacles in his path. The crowd, both his teammates and opponents, watched in awe. As he approached the goal, he could see Bob standing there, his eyes wide with anticipation. Mustafa didn’t hesitate; he took a powerful shot, sending the ball flying past Bob’s outstretched hands and into the net. The final whistle blew, and Mustafa’s team had won, 4-3. Bob hung his head in embarrassment as Mustafa’s team cheered loudly. He couldn’t believe how wrong he had been about Mustafa. The new boy wasn’t just good at soccer; he was amazing. Bob walked over to Mustafa, his face red with shame. “I’m sorry,” he muttered, “I was wrong about you. You’re really talented.” Mustafa smiled, accepting the apology. From that day on, Bob stopped teasing Mustafa and even became one of his biggest fans. They became friends, and Mustafa finally felt like he belonged in his new school. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述了来自土耳其的六年级新生Mustafa初到美国遭Bob取笑，在感恩节前的足球赛中，他起初被轻视坐冷板凳，后上场凭借出色球技帮助球队逆转获胜，Bob羞愧道歉，二人成为朋友，Mustafa终融入新学校。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“还剩两分钟，Mustafa再次拿到了球。”可知，第一段可描写Mustafa在比赛最后时刻再次拿到球后的表现，他凭借出色球技突破防守，射门得分，带领球队赢得比赛。 ②由第二段首句内容“当Mustafa的队友们大声欢呼时，Bob尴尬地低下了头。”可知，第二段可描写Bob对Mustafa态度的转变，从之前的嘲笑到现在的道歉和认可，两人最终成为朋友，Mustafa也融入了新学校。 2. 续写线索：拿到球——突破防守——射门得分——赢得比赛——Bob道歉——成为朋友——融入学校 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①突破防守：weave through the defenders/break through the defense ②射门得分：take a powerful shot/score a goal ③走向：walk over/move towards 情绪类 ①敬畏的：in awe/in reverence ②羞愧：shame/guilt 【点睛】【高分句型1】He dribbled the ball with incredible speed, weaving through the remaining defenders as if they were mere obstacles in his path.

Approaching fifty, each year felt the same. She needed to shake things up. Then one day. Claire had a sudden idea after learning about the feats (壮举) of others. “I mentioned to friends that I was looking for a challenge, and then came across Elise Downing, who ran the UK’s coast in ten months, and a guy called Christian Lewis, who did it over a number of years. ” Claire says. “ It seemed like fate (命运)—— and it made sense. ” Claire decided then that she, too, would walk the UK’s coast. And she set off on her journey last summer. The journey did present a few challenges. For Claire, the struggles seemed small compared to what she got. “Having to find a place to sleep made me choose a cause to raise money for Shelter and Only A Pavement Away, two amazing homeless charities. When it was cold and wet, I could find shelter in free and warm libraries or railway waiting rooms, providing a safe space for a single woman. I’d meet homeless people there and talk to them about their lives.and then buy them a cup of tea or something to eat. ” Finally, on Sunday, July 28— after over 4,000 miles, 50 weeks, and the UK’s three highest places — she was back at John O'Groats where she’d started. Claire says she is now sure that she will do another big mission (任务) soon, but more hopes that her story can inspire others to step out of their comfort zone(舒适区). “Hopefully I’ve made the world a better place and inspired at least one other person to head out and take on a big challenge, to make them feel alive again.” Claire adds. 4. What can we infer about Claire in the first paragraph? A. She found her life was full of challenges. B. She wished to make a change in her life. C. She was tired of living with her family. D. She was confident about herself. 5. What inspired Claire to start her journey? A Her dream of visiting landmarks in the UK. B. Suggestions from her friends to try hiking. C. Stories of others’ achievements. D. Her wish to give others a hand. 6. What did Claire decide to do after struggling to find shelter? A. Look for shelter for the homeless. B Ask her friends and family for help. C. Raise money for homeless charities. D. Mark the hotels along the way on a map. 7. What does Claire hope to do by sharing her experience? A. Inspire people to get close to nature. B. Encourage people to challenge themselves. C. Show the importance of providing care to others. D. Raise awareness about the struggles of the homeless. C Those in Generation Z, born between 1997 and 2012, are the first to grow up with smartphones everywhere and they’re also among those most likely to believe misinformation, according to a new study led by researchers from the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Canada and the University of Cambridge in the UK. The main purpose of the study is to assess the acceptance of misinformation among different groups of people in different countries. The idea wasn’t to call out particular groups for being more gullible than others, but to get a better understanding of the danger that misinformation poses: to public health, to the future of the planet, and to modern democracies. The researchers used an online test designed by psychologists to poll 66,242 people across 24 countries. The quiz, called the Misinformation Susceptibility Test (MIST), takes a couple of minutes to complete and asks participants to rank news headlines as real or fake. Some questions about age, education and country are also asked, and participants are invited to assess their own ability to spot fake news — another measure this latest study made use of. While the differences between groups weren’t huge, those most likely to label real news as fake or vice versa were those in Generation Z, those who were identified as non-male, and those who were less educated. There was a twist (意外之处): Generation Z had a better-than-average awareness of their own strengths and shortcomings in terms of spotting misinformation than other groups, while more educated groups overestimated their skill in distinguishing real news from fake news. “There’s still this widespread misconception that digital natives are better at navigation these environments,” says UBC psychologist Friedrich Götz. “That has been proved wrong in the academic world for quite a few years, but I don’t think it has translated into public consciousness.” The researchers want to see more done by governments and educators to raise awareness of misinformation and the serious damage it can do. It’s also a reminder to be alert when weighing up news headlines — even if you think you’re pretty good at not being fooled. 8. Why is Generation Z specially mentioned in the study? A. They are active. B. They are phone lovers. C. They are educated. D. They are digital natives. 9. What does the underlined word “gullible” mean in paragraph 2? A. Easy to be taken in. B. Rare to be heard of. C. Vital to be shown off. D. Hard to be picked out. 10. How did the researchers conduct the study? A. By analyzing news reports. B. By giving an online quiz. C. By observing people’s behavior. D. By interviewing people face to face. 11. What is expected by the researchers? A. To ban teens’ smartphone use. B. To reduce online news access. C. To enhance people’s awareness. D. To create stricter fake news laws. D Urban agriculture, the practice of farming within the limits of a city, is becoming increasingly popular worldwide and is considered a way to make cities and urban food systems more sustainable. Despite strong evidence of the social and nutritional benefits of urban agriculture, its carbon footprint remains understudied. Most previously published studies have focused on high-tech, energy-intensive forms of urban agriculture —such as vertical (垂直的) farms and rooftop greenhouses. The new study aimed to fill some of the knowledge gaps by comparing the carbon footprints of food produced at low-tech urban agriculture sites to conventional crops. The researchers calculated the greenhouse gas emissions (排放) associated with on-farm materials and activities over the lifetime of the farm. The emissions, expressed in kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalents per serving of food, were then compared to foods raised by conventional methods. Farmers and gardeners at urban agriculture sites across the world were employed to use daily diary entries to take down inputs—the materials used to construct farms and cultivate crops—and harvests from their food-growing sites throughout the 2019 season. “By assessing actual inputs and outputs on urban agriculture sites, we were able to determine climate change impacts to each serving of produce,” says study co-lead author Benjamin Goldstein, assistant professor in the School for Environment and Sustainability. On average, food produced through urban agriculture released 0.42 kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalents per serving, six times higher than the 0.07 kg CO2e per serving of conventionally grow n produce. It’s also found that most of the climate impacts at urban farms are driven by the infrastructure (基础设施), such as the raised beds in which food is grown, or pathways between plots. “These farms typically only operate for a few years, so the greenhouse gases used to produce those materials are not used effectively. Conventional agriculture, instead, is very efficient and hard to compete with”, Goldstein says. For example, conventional farms often grow a single crop with the help of pesticides and fertilizers, resulting in larger harvests and a reduced carbon footprint when compared to urban farms, he says. 12.

His teacher introduced him as a new student from Turkey. Before he could sit down, a big boy named Bob pressed his fist to his mouth and made a strange sound — “Gobble-gobble!” Laughter broke out. Mustafa had no idea what it meant, but he knew it wasn’t friendly. Later, Sam, a quiet boy who sat in front of him, explained, “Bob is making fun of you. ‘Gobble’ is the sound of a turkey — the bird Americans eat on Thanksgiving.” Mustafa forced a smile, but the teasing only grew worse. In the following days, Bob gobbled in the hallway, at the water fountain, even during break. Though Mustafa tried to ignore him, the sound followed him everywhere. Mustafa, who was much shorter than Bob, was running out of patience. The turning point came when a soccer game was announced before Thanksgiving celebration. Mustafa’s eyes lit up upon hearing the news that they would be divided into two teams to play, because he grew up playing soccer, or “futbol” as he called it, Turkey’s national sport. But when captains chose teams, he was picked last. Apparently, they doubted his skills because of his short and slim figure. Captain Oliver even sent him to the bench, saying he’d put him in after they took the lead. Heartbroken yet determined, Mustafa practiced alone on the bench. His skills were impressive — dribbling(带球), kneeing, and heading the ball with precision. The entire class watched in amazement. “Come on in,” Oliver, finally said. On the field, Oliver passed him the ball. “We’re down 3-2 — hurry!” Mustafa’s talent shone when he finally played. Two defenders rushed him, but Mustafa skillfully dribbled past them and ran to the goal. The goalkeeper was Bob, who mocked, “Gobble-gobble!” Mustafa tricked him easily and scored, tying the game. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 With two minutes left, Mustafa got the ball again. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Bob hung his head in embarrassment as Mustafa’s team cheered loudly. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
