Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
As people worldwide focus on a healthy planet, renewable (可再生的) energy engineers are key.These engineers work on cool projects that use the power of the sun, wind, and water to create energy.Their work combats climate change, leading to a cleaner world.Here are details.
Key responsibilities:
System Design: It's like being an inventor who figures out the best way to turn sunlight, wind, or water into electricity that we can use to power things like homes and schools.
Project Management: This is like being the leader of a team working on a school project, but instead, it's for big energy projects.The engineer makes sure everything is done right on time, and doesn't cost too much money.
Technical Research: Here, the engineer is like a detective or a scientist, always looking for new and better ways to make energy.They try to find methods that are more effective and less expensive.
Maintenance and Optimization: This part is about taking care of the energy systems that are already built.The engineer checks the systems, fixes any problems, and makes improvements so they work even better.
Skill requirements:
Engineering background: A degree in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, or a related field.
Analytical Skills: Abilities to analyze data and system performance to propose improvements.
Innovative Thinking: Maintain (保持) an openness to new technologies and methods, constantly seeking innovation.
Environmental Awareness: A deep understanding of environmental protection and sustainable development.
Career prospects:
The renewable energy industry is having a period of rapid development, with strong support from both the government and the private company.Renewable energy engineers can find opportunities in energy companies, consulting firms, research institutions or government agencies.With technological advances and the growing demand for energy, the future prospects of this career are very bright.

Driving home from work, Will spotted a For Sale sign on the last remaining farm in the city of Milwaukee.An idea flashed through Will's head.He could grow food here.
Most people in the neighborhood were not eating well.“Folks were living in what I call a food desert,” Will says.“I knew I had to do something, because you can't have a healthy community without healthy food.”
Will hired some neighborhood teenagers to help him get started.They “grew” new soil by composting, which means collecting food waste and piling it up until it breaks down and turns into soil.Then they made good natural fertilizer (肥料) before starting growing food.Today, Growing Power Community Food Center is growing enough food to feed people in the neighborhood.In the winter, the compost gives off enough heat to keep the greenhouses warm as it breaks down into soil.Goats, chickens, and turkeys live behind the greenhouses.Red-eyed fish are swimming in aquariums (水族箱) at the center of the greenhouses.The fish are for eating, but they also help the plants grow.The water they swim in, enriched by the fish droppings, is channeled toward the pots containing vegetables.Then it is cleaned by other plants, and returned to the fish tank as pure water.“We don't waste anything here,” Will says.
“The city farm of the future is a multi-storied building, angled toward the sun.This idea, called ‘vertical (垂直的) farming’, is a new way to feed more people.You grow fish on the bottom floor and pump the water up to the top.Then the water is piped down from floor to floor, through beds of growing plants, ranging from leafy greens up high to mushrooms lower down.By the time the water returns to the fish on the bottom floor, it's clean again.” Will says.“Growing food is powerful and it can change the world!”
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。Will在密尔沃基看到待售农场,决定种植食物改善社区饮食。他建立生态农场,并设想未来垂直农场,认为种植食物能改变世界。
4.Why did Will decide to grow food in Milwaukee?
A.To enable people to eat better.
B.To make some profits by farming.
C.To build a harmonious community.
D.To transform the desert into a farm.
解析:选A 细节理解题。根据第二段“Most people in the neighborhood were not eating well.‘Folks were living in what I call a food desert,’ Will says. ‘I knew I had to do something, because you can't have a healthy community without healthy food.’ ”可知,Will所在社区的大多数人饮食不健康,他认为没有健康的食物就没有健康的社区,因此他决定种植食物是为了让人们吃得更好。
5.What do we know about Will's food centre?
A.It works like a forest and wastes nothing.
B.It is a greenhouse and provides heat in winter.
C.It is a city farm and employs chemical fertilizers.
D.It collects conventional soil and uses animal waste.
解析:选A 细节理解题。根据第三段可知,Will的食物中心通过堆肥制造新土壤、利用鱼的粪便为植物提供养分、水循环利用等,因此这个食物中心的运作就像一个森林生态系统一样,没有任何浪费。
6.Which of the following can best describe Will?
A.Thoughtful and faithful.
B.Adventurous and generous.
C.Creative and ambitious.
D.Humorous and farsighted.
解析:选C 推理判断题。根据第一段“Driving home from work, Will spotted a For Sale sign on the last remaining farm in the city of Milwaukee.An idea flashed through Will's head.He could grow food here.”可知,Will看到城市里最后的农场,就想到种植食物来改善社区人们的饮食,这体现了他的创造力;根据最后一段可知,他不仅建立了食物中心,还对未来的城市农场有新的设想,并认为种植食物可以改变世界,这显示出他有雄心壮志。
7.What is Will talking about in the last paragraph?
A.The procedure of water cleaning.
B.The influence of vertical farming.
C.The vision for future city farming.
D.The description of a future building.
解析:选C 段落大意题。根据最后一段可知,Will描述了“垂直农场”这种新的种植方式,以及未来城市农场是一个多层建筑,朝向太阳,鱼在底层养殖,水通过植物层循环等,这是对未来城市农业的设想。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五()
How to be more productive in your first hour of work
After you grab a coffee, chat with your co-workers and scan your emails, the first hour of your workday has blown by.__8__.
Have breakfast before work
__9__.Sitting in front of the computer with food and coffee makes you more likely to surf blogs and social media instead of jumping to important tasks.You can't really work when you've got a spoon in hand and are constantly reaching for something.
Make the right to-do list
Most people write to-do lists with easy tasks on top so they can feel good about crossing those items off.__10__.Instead, organize your list with long-term goals on top to remind you of what's most important, and daily goals at the bottom to plan how you'll reach them.Daily tasks should be specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and have a timetable.
__11__
Instead of scanning through your email or social media, figure out what's challenging you the most.Ideally, tackle the thing that most has your attention.Often it's the thing that's most bothering you. Getting that stressor out of the way will make you more relaxed throughout the day.
Set a timer
Force yourself to stay in the zone by setting strict periods of uninterrupted work. Setting a 50-minute timer will give a long enough period to get into the zone and make progress in your work before taking a 10-minute break. __12__, but a separate kitchen timer or hourglass is recommended for a visual reminder that keeps your hands away from the distraction of your phone notifications.
A.Remind yourself of the big picture
B.Most phones have built-in stopwatches
C.Here are some ways to keep you energetic
D.Start with the task that you think about most
E.Here's the recipe for a more productive morning
F.But this method helps self-esteem, not productivity
G.Don't wait until you get to the office to have your morning yoghurt
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何高效率地开始一天的工作。
8.选E 根据标题“How to be more productive in your first hour of work”可知,本文主要介绍如何提高第一个小时的工作效率,下文用小标题列举了几种方法。故E项“下面是拥有高效早晨的秘诀”承上启下,符合语境。
9.选G 根据小标题“Have breakfast before work”可知,本段介绍的窍门是提前吃早餐。G项“不要等到你到了办公室才喝早餐酸奶”与标题语义一致。
10.选F 上文提到,很多人把“easy tasks”放在清单的前头。下句提到要把 “long-term goals”放在清单的前头。再根据下句句首的“Instead”可知,F项“但这种方法帮助的是自尊,而不是效率”总结上句,并与下句构成对比。其中this指代上句的方法。
11.选D 此处为小标题,为本段主旨的概括。根据下文可知,本段主要建议把重要的事情放在前面。故D项“从你想得最多的任务开始”符合本段内容,且与其他标题的句式一致。
12.选B 根据空格后的“but”可知,前后为转折关系。下文提到了用单独的厨房计时器或沙漏来提醒自己,所以空处应该提到另一种可以计时的方法。故B项“大多数手机都有内置秒表”衔接下文,符合语境。
