(2024·新课标Ⅱ卷)
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.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了室内种植系统 BMF(巴比伦微型农场)的相关信息。

(2024·四川成都外国语学校月考)
Imagine driving behind a huge truck shooting clouds of smoke into the air while your new fully electric vehicle cleans up its carbon emissions.This dream may soon be a reality.A team of students in the Netherlands has created an electric car that not only doesn't produce carbon dioxide when driving, but actually pulls it out of the air.
The two-seater sports car was designed and built in less than a year by a team of 35 students at Eindhoven University of Technology.Called“ZEM”, which stands for“Zero Emission Mobility”, the car is equipped with special devices that remove carbon dioxide from the air as it drives.The team calculates if ZEM is driven about 32,000 kilometres, it can remove 2 kilogrammes of carbon dioxide from the air.That's not a huge amount, but 10 ZEM cars on the road for a year would remove as much carbon dioxide as a typical tree does during that time.They point out that there are over a billion passenger cars in the world that could be using this technology.And if a billion cars were removing carbon dioxide instead of producing it, the result would be huge.
ZEM also has several other innovations that help to make it more sustainable: The car's frame and panels(控制板) are 3D printed to reduce waste; it was built using recycled and recyclable materials; and it can be easily taken apart so that many of its parts can be reused.ZEM's battery is also reusable, and has another handy feature: It can be charged with solar panels on the car's roof— and can even be used to provide power to your house when the car isn't on the road.
According to the statistics, transportation was responsible for over 20% of global carbon dioxide emissions in 2020— and of those emissions, cars were responsible for 41%.The Eindhoven team says its goal is to challenge the electric car industry: If 35 students can build a car like this in less than a year, then surely car manufacturers (生产商) are expected to adopt these innovations, too.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种叫作ZEM的电动汽车,其在行驶时不产生二氧化碳,而且可以吸收空气中的二氧化碳。
5.What is special about ZEM?
A.It can end the world's CO2 release.
B.It can cut the truck's CO2 emissions.
C.It can reduce the level of CO2 in the air.
D.It can absorb dirty air as well as CO2.
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Called‘ZEM’, which stands for‘Zero Emission Mobility’, the car is equipped with special devices that remove carbon dioxide from the air as it drives.”可知,ZEM的特殊之处在于它能降低空气中的二氧化碳含量。故选C项。
6.Why does the team calculate the amount of CO2 absorbed by ZEM in Paragraph 2?
A.To demonstrate a superb vision of ZEM cars.
B.To explain how ZEM removes CO2 as trees do.
C.To illustrate the ongoing change in car making.
D.To show the influence of ZEM on the car market.
答案:A
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The team calculates if ZEM is driven about 32,000 kilometres...10 ZEM cars on the road for a year would remove as much carbon dioxide as a typical tree does during that time.”可知,研究团队计算ZEM 吸收二氧化碳的量是为了表明ZEM 汽车这一构想绝佳。故选A项。

A.They are of high quality.
B.They are easy to process.
C.They are convenient to print.
D.They are environmentally friendly.
答案:D
