Section Ⅲ　　Learning About Language [课时跟踪检测] Ⅰ.阅读理解 Work starts early on White Gate Farm in East Lyme, Connecticut. By 7 am, farm manager Dan Wood was at the East Lyme Post Office dropping off a box of fresh produce that later in the day would be delivered by mail to Chelsea Gubbins, who lives across town. White Gate Farm is a member of Farmers Post, a pilot programme that enables smallholder farms across eastern Connecticut to ship fresh produce and other farm products to local households through the United States Postal Service (USPS). Farmers Post takes advantage of a USPS programme called Connect Local that allows small businesses to offer same⁃day and next⁃day delivery at a fixed low cost. Food remains in the fields because either market prices are too low or the cost of the workforce is too high, or because the size and shape of the produce make it unattractive to stores. Each year, around 10 million tons of crops never get harvested, causing about 16% of total US food loss and waste. “Food that is wasted has a much larger influence than just the loss of the food itself,” says Julia Kurnik, senior director of Innovation Start⁃ups at WWF. “Everything that went into growing it goes out the window as well — the water, the land, and the energy. And as the food breaks down, it produces greenhouse gases. The bad effects amplify greatly.” Besides reducing food waste, selling farm products directly to local customers cuts down on the cross⁃country shipping of food grown in California or elsewhere. This reduces the so⁃called food miles that researchers believe cause about 6% of the world’s greenhouse gases. Fruits and vegetables, which are often transported out of season and require refrigeration, produce lots of greenhouse gases between farms and people’s plates. Wood understands that Farmers Post can help to end that waste. “Farming is kind of like cooking for a big group.” he says. “This is helping us get right on the money, using almost 100% of what we grow and harvest.” 语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了美国康涅狄格州的一个小型农场 White Gate Farm 通过邮政局的 Connect Local 项目将农产品送到当地居民家里的故事。这不仅帮助农场直接销售农产品,减少了食品浪费,还减少了因从其他地方运输水果和蔬菜而带来的温室气体排放。 1.Why was Farmers Post started? A.To provide professional modern farming methods. B.To create more delivery jobs for local people. C.To pick up and carry customers to different farms. D.To make the delivery of produce easier and cheaper. 解析:选D　细节理解题。根据第二段“White Gate Farm is ... a fixed low cost.”可知,该项目使康涅狄格州东部的小农场能够通过美国邮政服务将新鲜农产品和其他农产品运送到当地家庭,允许小企业以固定的低成本提供当日和次日送达服务。由此可知,该项目使农产品的运输更容易、更便宜。故选D项。 2.What may cause some US crops to remain unharvested according to the text? A.The limited need for farm products. B.The shortage of workers and harvesting tool. C.Their low value and poor quality. D.Bad weather and road conditions. 解析:选C　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Food remains in the fields ... unattractive to stores.”可知,因为农产品的市场价格低或大小和形状对商店没有吸引力,作物遭弃收滞留田间。由此可知,是农产品的价格低、质量差导致美国的很多作物遭弃收滞留田间。故选C项。 3.What does the underlined word “amplify” mean in paragraph 4? A.Increase.　　　　　　　 B.Slow. C.Switch. D.Weaken. 解析:选A　词义猜测题。根据画线词前面的内容“Everything that went into growing it goes out the window as well — the water, the land, and the energy. And as the food breaks down, it produces greenhouse gases.”可知,浪费食物意味着种植食物时消耗的水、土地和能源也被浪费了,同时分解食物又产生了温室气体,因此糟糕的影响是在不断扩大的,所以画线词与“增加”意义相近。故选A项。 4.Which of the following is the best title for the text? A.The Food Safety Movement Has Met Some Challenges B.A Farm⁃to⁃Table Programme Helps Reduce Food Waste C.Farmers Post Explores Ways to Make High⁃Quality Products D.Small Farms Play a Leading Role in Serving Communities 解析:选B　标题归纳题。根据第二段以及全文可知,文章讲述了美国康涅狄格州的一个小型农场White Gate Farm通过利用邮政局的Connect Local项目将农产品送到当地居民家里的故事。这个项目不仅帮助农场直接销售农产品,减少了食品浪费,还减少了因从其他地方运输水果和蔬菜而带来的温室气体排放,所以B项“一个从农场到餐桌的项目有助于减少食物浪费”概括了文章内容,最适合用作标题。故选B项。 Ⅱ.完形填空 When Mysha decided to improve her fitness in late 2019, taking up running was a no⁃brainer.
