2023-2024学年安徽省合肥市第一中学高三上学期第一次教学质量检测英语试题
2023-2024学年安徽省合肥市第一中学高三上学期第一次教学质量检测英语试题Generations of creators have improved our lives with everything that touches off our imagination. Here are some of the brilliant inventors.Ellen Swallow Richards (1842 — 1911)After earning a bachelor’s degree from Vassar College in 1870, Richards was accepted as a “special student”at all-male MIT, becoming the first woman in the United States to attend a science school. She conducted a huge survey of water quality in Massachusetts, an effort that led to the first state water-quality standards in US.Gregor Mendel (1822 — 1884)In the mid-1800s, he experimented with pea plants to determine how physical features pass from one generation to the next. The experiments established the basic rules needed to cross-breed (杂交繁殖) plants to create a new variety with desired characteristics.Ray Kroc (1902—1984)As the founder of McDonald’s restaurants, Kroc changed the way Americans eat. In 1954, Kroc w as selling industrial mixers and visited the California restaurant of two of his best customers, Maurice and Richard McDonald. Kroc was impressed by the methods the brothers used to make their hamburgers, cheeseburgers, French fries, and milkshakes.Kroc, an Illinois native, talked the McDonalds into allowing him to create a group of drive-in hamburger restaurants using their methods and name. The first of his restaurants opened in Des Plaines, Illinois, on April 15, 1955.Jane Jacobs (1916—2006)Jacobs w as not a formally trained urban planner and didn’t have a college degree, but her intelligent views on community planning changed the way Americans thought about cities. In her 1961 book, Death and Life of Great American Cities, Jacobs advocated human-friendly neighborhoods featuring short city blocks and mixed-use buildings that encouraged resident interaction. She also strongly opposed high-rise developments and expressways that cut through neighborhoods.1. What did Gregor Mendel do?A．He found a new fast food making method.B．He discovered the basic cross-breeding laws.C．He established the water-quality standards in US.D．He helped to plan human-friendly neighborhoods.2. Who is the founder of McDonald’s restaurants?A．Ray Kroc. B．Jane Jacobs.C．Richard McDonald. D．Maurice McDonald.3. When did Jane Jacobs publish Death and Life of Great American Cities?A．In 2006. B．In 1984. C．In 1961. D．In 1916.On July 11, 2023, scientists selected Crawford Lake in Canada to represent the start of the Anthropocene, a new geological (地质的) time period dominated by human beings instead of the force of nature. The scientists said that sediments (沉积物) at the bottom of the lake clearly show the impact of industrialized humanity on Earth from the 1950s onwards.The Anthropocene Working Group (AWG) was set up in 2009. In 2016, it concluded that human-caused changes to Earth were so great that a new geological time unit was necessary. The AWG then assessed twelve sites across the world as candidates for what geol ogists call a “golden spike”, the place where the sudden and global changes marking the start of the new geological time period are best recorded in Earth. After three rounds of voting, the AWG selected Crawford Lake.“The lake is 24 meters deep but covers only 6 acres,” said Francine McCarthy, a member of the AWG. “It is so special that the bottom waters and surface waters do not mix, except for what gently sinks to the bottom and settles down in sediments. As a result, they allow us to see the changes in Earth history.”The AWG has chosen the plutonium isotopes (钚同位素) from H-bomb tests as the key marker for the Anthropocene, as they were spread globally from 1952 but declined rapidly after the nuclear test ban in the mid-1960s, creating a spike in sediments. There are other important markers in the lake sediments, including CO2 fingerprints produced by the burning of fossil fuels in power plants.“The 1950s saw the start of a sharp increase in industrial, transport and economic activities that have had huge impacts on Earth,” added McCarthy. “But it is the sharp increase in plutonium specifically that we chose as the key marker.”Experts said the decision has social and political importance, as it would draw attention to the role that industrialized humanity plays in shaping Earth. The climate crisis is the most obvious impact of the Anthropocene, but huge losses of wildlife, the spread of foreign species, and the widespread pollution of the planet are also key features.4. Why is Crawford Lake selected as th e “golden spike”?A．It can best show the sudden and global changes in Earth.B．It is close to the testing site of the first nuclear bomb.C．It can completely separate its sediments from the air.D．It is located in one of the most industrialized countries.5. When did the Anthropocene start?A．In 1950. B．In 1952. C．In 2009. D．In 2016.6. What is considered as the key marker for the Anthropocene?A．The climate crisis. B．The losses of wildlife.C．The CO 2 fingerprints. D．The plutonium isotopes.7. What might be the significance of the adoption of the Anthropocene?A．It will play a key role in slowing down industrialization.B．It might help human beings to understand their importance.C．It would raise public awareness of environment protection.D．It can encourage the unity between the public and politicians.This summer, schools in New York City are preparing for a shift in reading instruction. Instead of reading whole books, they plan to focus on excerpts (节选). And it’s not just for lower grades, b ut for high schools as well.While it may sound alarming for the public in New York City, the shift to excerpts has been going on for more than twenty years since the Big Standardized Test was adopted as a means of measuring student achievement in reading.Of course, to dig in and reflect on the ideas contained in a whole book and to discuss with fellow readers should be a major part of every student’s education. But the basic model of the most important testing we’ve been subjecting students to for the pas t twenty-some years is this: 1) Read a short excerpt of a book that you are seeing for the first time. 2) Answer some multiple choice questions about it, and do it by yourself and right now.If the test is already set, the best way to prepare for it is with a battery of activities that most closely look like the test itself. And so as the Big Standardized Tests have spread, publishers have cranked out varieties of coaching workbooks that are all collections of short excerpts accompanied by a set of multiple choice questions. Instead of teaching students how to read a whole book, we teach them how to take a standardized test.There are certainly other forces that push teachers in the direction of excerpts over complete books. Since there are only 180 days in the year, teachers always have to decide whether to take a full six months to work through Moby Dick, or to give students just a taste.One can even point the finger at a culture in which we just read headlines instead of articles. But as long as major testing pushes a quick reaction to context-free excerpts, schools will abandon the reflective, cooperative, thoughtful deep dive into a complete book sooner or later. And that will be a loss for students.8. How does the author feel about the new policy in New York City?A．Unsurprised. B．Relieved. C．Unconcerned. D．Excited.9. What does the author most likely want students to do?A．Finish their homework immediately after school.B．Read whole books together with their classmates.C．Buy workbooks that are closely based on the test itself.D．Do more standardized reading comprehension exercises.10. Which of the following can replace the phrase “cranked out” in paragraph 4?A．charged B．canceled C．changed D．produced11. What should be blamed mainly for the shift to excerpts over books?A．The limited time. B．The government policy.C．The official tests. D．The available workbooks.In the late 1990s, a scientist named Mark Blumberg stood in a lab at the University of Iowa watching a few sleeping newlyborn rats. He found that the baby rats kept making small, sharp movements in their sleep, and that their closed eyes moved from side to side in a phenomenon known as rapid eye movement (REM). Blumberg knew that the rats were fine, because he knew people do the same during REM sleep. And scientists have long had an explanation for the twitches (抽动) and REM: They are dreaming about their waking life.However, as he dug deeper, he wondered why adult rats spend only about two hours of each night in REM sleep, while baby rats spend an unusual amount of time in REM, often sleeping for sixteen hours a day and dreaming for eight.“If dreams are hints of waking life, adult rats who have more experiences should spend more time in REM sleep. Why do baby rats, whose eyes are still shut, spend so much time in REM sleep when they have too little to dream about?” he wondered. “Why do their eyes, their legs, tails and whiskers move hundreds of thousands of times during their sleep?”In the end, Blumberg concluded that it might be the other way around — perhaps the movements were sending signals to the brain to help it learn about the body.“You wouldn’t think that the body is something a brain needs to learn,” he wrote in a paper. “But we aren’t born with maps of our bodies. We can’t be, because our bodies change by the day. But in waking life, we cannot move only a single muscle. Even the simplest act of swallowing (吞咽) employs more than thirty pairs of nerves and muscles working together. Our small and sharp movements in sleep, by contrast, are exact and precise: They involve muscles one at a time. In other words, such movements allow the muscles and nerves to form one-to-one connections that otherwise would be impossible. It’s a process that’s most important for the brain to lear n about the body as we grow, suffer injuries and learn new skills.12. What was the previous explanation for REM?A．It was just an outward sign of dreams.B．It showed the difficulty in sleeping.C．It was an indicator of terrible dreams.D．It only occured to sleeping baby rats.13. What can be learned from paragraph 2?A．Baby rats have to spend all night in REM sleep.B．REM sleep just accounts for part of the sleeping time.C．It is unnecessary for baby rats to sleep 16 hours a day.D．It is not enough for adults to have two hours of REM sleep.14. What is a feature of the movements in REM sleep according to Mark Blumberg?A．They teach the brain new skills and heal injuries.B．Muscles have to work together to start the movements.C．Each of them just involves a muscle and a nerve at a time.D．They are less exact and precise than our daily movements.15. What is the text mainly about?A．The importance of REM sleep.B．The latest discoveries about dreaming.C．The relationship between dreams and waking life.D．A different explanation for the twitches during sleep.Small talks are the short conversations we have at parties, at family events or at work. These small talks can open doors that lead to larger, more meaningful conversations. 16 . Here are some tips for them to improve their small-talking ability.Have some conversation starters ready. If you have seen a really good movie or have read a really good book, you can talk about that. You can also talk about something that both of you are interested in. 17 , it will be a very good conversation starter. Or you simply notice and comment on what’s going on around you. If you are at a party and a song comes on that you like or that reminds you of something, you can talk about that.18 . Nobody knows everything. So, if someone brings up something about which you know nothing, just tell them! This lets the other person become the teacher. They feel good about sharing their knowledge and you get to learn something. It’s a win-win situation.Ask open-ended questions. 19 . If you ask questions that need more details to answer, the conversation will go on longer. For example, if you are at a summer pool party, don’t ask a person if they like summer. 20 .This week, I will hike along the Appalachian Trail alone to look for what can be hard to find in the city: solitude. In the _________, I can find places to be alone, but it is much harder to find true solitude. The _________ between cities and mountains is the secret I find that the _________ comforts.For many people, the idea of being alone in mountains can be _________. It’s understandable because we are, _________, social animals. But being in the wild without others doesn’t mean being _________. In fact, it can be quite the _________. Life is there already. There are the bird calls in the air and frogs crossing the trail.And there is more.When you come to a(n) _________ where the sunlight makes it to the forest floor, you can sometimes catch a hint of something. I don’t know what to call it. Words _________. But it feels something like a root or a(n) ____________ song of the world’s own presence.If that moment is just between you and the wild world, then you are ____________ indeed. That is when you can ____________ what Henry David Thoreau meant when he said, “I never found the____________ that was so companionable as solitude.”So, as the great John Muir ____________ it: “Keep close to Nature’s heart once in a while, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the wild to wash your ____________ clean.”21.A．mountain B．city C．air D．sea22.A．connection B．agreement C．difference D．argument23.A．food B．friendship C．music D．wilderness24.A．discomforting B．amusing C．relaxing D．exciting25.A．by choice B．by accident C．by nature D．by mistake26.A．happy B．alone C．patient D．brave27.A．opposite B．false C．beautiful D．same28.A．apartment B．office C．farm D．clearing29.A．fail B．spread C．matter D．win30.A．sweet B．unvoiced C．popular D．odd31.A．angry B．sad C．lucky D．frightened32.A．refuse B．forget C．forgive D．understand33.A．pond B．companion C．hunter D．rain34.A．put B．denied C．accepted D．assessed35.A．land B．body C．record D．spirit阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

A small dog sat in his lap. Stewart, a vet (兽医) at an animal hospital, noticed its injured fur and skin. He approached the man and offered to bring medication for the dog's skin, a gift the man readily accepted.“I remember returning a week later, and the hair was coming back the rash (皮疹) was gone,” Stewart told the Modesto Bee. Tom said his dog was finally sleeping at night again because it was no longer feeling restless for its illness. “‘And you know,’ he said, ‘I’m sleeping at night.’ He started to cry, and that got me touched too,” Stewart says.Stewart was addicted. “When you do good deeds, there is something you get in return that feels much larger. I knew I wanted to keep doing it, "he told .Today, Stewart, 50, has his own practice in town, yet he still finds time for street pets. He's helped roughly 400 animals since 2011.There's a great need for his kind of help. About 25 percent of Modesto's homeless population owns a pet, but there are few healthcare options available to them. To fill that gap, Stewart can often be found wandering dark streets and underpasses (地下通道), anywhere he thinks the homeless might be camped out. Stewart pays for almost all of it out of his own pocket. For those expensive procedures, he set up a GoFundMe account to help cover treatment costs. “I don't ever want to have to turn anybod y away,” he explains.“To have somebody like Dr. Stewart come out here to take care of my dog just because it's the right thing to do, that's huge.” Joe, one of the dog owners, said in a video that Stewart posted on the GoFundMe page.4.

Almost half of the participants in a study who were asked to turn off their phone notifications for a day said it was still influencing their habits two years later, say the researchers behind the new study. At first, Martin Pielot from telecommunications firm Telefonica in Spain, and Luz Rello of Carnegie Mellon University, wanted to last their Do Not Disturb challenge across a whole week-—but they couldn’t find anyone to take part for that length of time. “We just got empty, frightened stares,” Pielot said. “And so finally we backed down to 24 hours.”Overall, the group is made up of 30 volunteers. Pielot and Rello found that the responses (反应) to a day away from notifications were different a lot: for people who didn’t check their phones that much anyway, it wasn’t such a big deal. But for those whose f riends, bosses, and co-workers expect quick replies, the study brought on some extra stress and anxiety.For 9 participants, the Do Not Disturb challenge brought on extra feelings of missing out on something, such as a message from a friend or a package delivery (递送). At the same time, 19 participants reported feeling clearly more concentrated and more productive over the day with their notifications off. Some participants felt less connected to their social groups as a result of the Do Not Disturb challeng e, so there’s a lot to take in from the study: it shows how phone notifications interrupt (打断) us, and how they connect us to others and enable us to manage social expectations.On top of all those findings, the researchers are eager to point out how the day off from phone notifications changed habits in the long term-22 of the volunteers said they planned to change their phone notification settings as a result of the Do Not Disturb challenge, and after two years 13 of them were still following through with the changes. Considering most people seldom touch their phone’s notification settings, that’s a high number.8. What can we learn from Pielot’s words?A．Few people are interested in the experiment.B．Most people overly depend on their cell phones.C．People can get paid for taking part in the challenge.D．The participants can bear no phone notifications for one week.9. What’s the response of most participants to the experiment?A．More happiness. B．Some extrastress. C．Nothingdifferent.D．Higherproductivity.10. How do the researchers feel about the result of the experiment?A．Pleased. B．Moved. C．Doubtful. D．Regretful.11. What’s the purpose of the research?A．To show those not using phones live longer.B．To find out how to get rid of phones in the long run.C．To examine the influence of turning off phone notifications.D．To explore how a day without phones affects people’s habits.Have you heard of the term “tweenager”? It’s a slang (俚语) word used in the UK to describe children between about ten and twelve years old. They are between being a junior and a teenager. Why do the press and media refer to kids in this way?Well, more and more companies now create products and services for tweenagers. They seem to tell us that tweenagers must have more money, freedom and influence upon their parents than they’ve ever had before.Most children in the UK today get more pocket money than kids did a decade ago. Despite problems happening fairly often and regularly in the economy, parents generally have more money to give than before, since they are having fewer children on average than in the past. In addition, a higher divorce (离婚) rate in the UK makes parents try to compensate by buying presents for their children. It’s a bad habit for both parents and children to get into, but parents are under constant pressure from commercial marketing and the requests of their children.You may wonder how tweenagers have more freedom than previous generations. Well, UK children today are very media- and computer-literate. They have access to much more information about life and the world. They may have experienced a lot in life as well. With such sophistication (老于世故) at such a young age, it’s no wonder tweenagers are able to influence their parents.Now UK tweenagers are also very fashion-conscious and concerned about their images. In a world of television programs that promise immediate success and fame at a young age, some people think it’s extremely important to look fashionable.So what does tweenage fashion look like? It’s lots of brightly colored materials, particularly pink, and usually plain, not patterned. There are plenty of bows, necklaces and bracelets, too.But can it really be healthy for us to encourage kids to be like adults at a young age? Are we stealing childhoods in return for a bit of profit? Well, the UK government is certainly concerned, and for that reason has strict laws preventing companies from clearly and openly marketing their products and services to children.12. What is the use of the first paragraph?A．To explain a concept and bring up the topic.B．To tell the difference between a junior and a teenager.C．To show why people in the UK prefer to use the slang.D．To state how the slang came into being and make a summary.13. Why are more products and services created for tweenagers?A．Because children education is becoming more important.B．Because they are more affordable to tweenagers.C．Because it is better to study music from an early age.D．Because more companies are creating products and services.14. What does the underlined word “compensate” in Paragraph 3 mean?A．Keep company. B．Reward. C．Make up. D．Motivate.15. Why do tweenagers pay more attention to their appearance?A．They are afraid of being laughed at by others.B．They have less freedom than previous generations.C．They wish to become successful and famous quickly.D．They are encouraged to be like adults at a young age.Stress Management: How to Reduce, Prevent, and Cope with StressIf you’re living with high levels of stress, you’re putting your health and happiness at risk. Stress does harm to your health. It may seem like there’s nothing you can do about stress. 16 The following stress management tips can help you do that.Get movingWhen you’re stressed, the last thing you probably feel like doing is getting up and exercising. 17 You don’t have to be an athlete or spend hours in a gym to experience the benefits. Exercise releases endorphins that make you feel good, and it can also serve as a valuable distraction from your daily worries.Connect to othersThere is nothing more calming than spending quality time with another human being who makes you feel safe and understood. So make it a point to connect regularly — and in person — with family and friends. Keep in mind that the people you talk to don’t have to be able to fix your stress.18 . And try not to let worries about looking weak keep you from opening up. The people who care about you will be happy because of your trust. It will only strengthen your relationship.19When you’re worn out by your morning traffic, or stuck in a stressful meeting at work, you need a way to manage your stress levels right now. The fastest way to reduce stress is by taking a deep breath and using your senses — what you see, hear, taste, and touch — or through a comfortable movement. By viewing a favorite photo, smelling a specific smell, listening to a favorite piece of music, tasting sweets, or hugging a pet, for example, you can quickly relax and focus yourself.Effective stress management helps you break the hold stress has on your life, so you can be happier, healthier, and more productive. But stress management is not one-size-fits-all. 20Our son, Tom, was different from others, because he was born with a serious brain disease. My wife and I often comforted him as he faced many _______ in his early years.It was _______ to see him regularly chosen last for baseball, but his most tough time came when he began high school.

安徽省合肥市第一中学2023-2024学年高二上学期期中考试英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Four Self-Portraits (自画像) by Famous ArtistsRaphael (Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino)—“Self-Portrait”, 1506One of the beautiful self-portraits by famous artist Raphael was drawn at the age of 23. It measures around 45cm×33cm and is located at the world-famous Uffizi Gallery. The Italian painter used oil on board to draw his self-portrait, which was the clearest and the most recognizable self-portraits of Raphael himself.Leonardo da Vinci—“Portrait of a Man in Red Chalk”, 1512“Portrait of a Man in Red Chalk”is a self-portrait of da Vinci at the age of 60 and measures around 33.3cm×21.6cm, which is on display in Biblioteca Reale, Turin, Italy. It is drawn with red chalk on paper and represents the head of an elderly man in a three-quarter view. In the portrait, the length of the hair is uncommon in Renaissance (文艺复兴) portraits.Rembrandt van Rijn—“Self-Portrait with Beret and Turned-up Collar”, 1659Dutch painter Rembrandt van Rijn painted his self-portrait in 1659 when he was 53 years old. It shows his worried expression that clearly portrays the troubled condition of his mind at that point of his life since the year 1659 was a year of anxiety for him. This self-portrait found its place among the Benjamin Altman Collection, which has been exhibited in the Metropolitan Museum of Art since 1913.Edgar Degas—“Degas Au Porte-Fusain’”, l855Edgar Degas made this self-portrait only when he was twenty-one years old. It was one of the most remarkable of his fifteen self-portraits. Degas was seated as seemingly without fear and anxiety. The pose in the painting was formal and academic. The painting is located in the musée d’Orsay, Paris, France.1．Where should visitors go if they want to admire Raphael’s self-portrait in 1506?A．Uffizi Gallery.B．Biblioteca Reale.C．The musée d’Orsay.D．The Metropolitan Museum of Art. 2．Which aspect of Portrait of a Man in Red Chalk was special during the Renaissance?A．The red clothing.B．The formal pose.C．The long hair.D．The worried expression.3．Which painter was the youngest when painting the above-mentioned self-portraits?A．Raphael.B．Edgar Degas.C．Leonardo da Vinci.D．Rembrandt van Rijn.Last Friday, a robot called EveR6 led an orchestra (管弦乐队) in a performance of Korean music at the National Theater of Korea. EveR 6 is about as tall as a person, and has a human-like face that can show emotions. Its joints (关节) allow it to move its arms quickly and smoothly in many different directions.But EveR 6 doesn’t think on its own like some advanced Artificial Intelligence programs. Instead, it has a limited group of movements that it has been trained to perform. To make these movements as natural as possible, EveR 6’s movements are based on those captured from real human conductors.In Friday’s performance, the National Orchestra of Korea presented a concert titled “Absence”. The concert included five different pieces of music. Two were conducted by EveR 6, and two were conducted by Soo-Yeoul Choi, who leads the Busan Philharmonic Orchestra. Both conductors worked together on the final piece.Mr. Choi was impressed with the way EveR 6 moved. “The robot was able to present such detailed moves much better than I had imagined,” he said.But Mr. Choi added that the robot’s biggest weakness is that it can’t hear. “Some people think that conducting is just a combination of hand waving and keeping the beat,” said Mr. Choi. “But a good conductor needs to listen to the orchestra, so that he or she can correct and encourage the orchestra as it plays.”Mr. Choi and EveR 6 both conducted a piece of music called “Sense”. Instead of musical notes, EveR 6 had instructions for how to play the piece. The conductors and musicians had to work together to create the music. Mr. Choi communicated with the musicians while EveR 6 kept the beat. Mr. Choi said that once EveR 6 started, the musicians had “no choice but to follow its beats”.Mr. Choi doesn’t think robots are likely to replace human conductors. But he believes robots could be helpful in situations like practice sessions where the same thing needs to be repeated many times.4．What do we know about EveR 6 from the text?A．It is an experienced conductor.B．It has a lifelike appearance.C．It is able to listen to music.D．It is much shorter than a person. 5．What does the underlined word “captured”in paragraph 2 mean?A．Stolen.B．Stopped.C．Recorded.D．Hidden. 6．What advantage does a human conductor have over EveR 6?A．Waving hands.B．Keeping the beat.C．Having instructions.D．Communicating with musicians. 7．What is the text mainly about?A．A robot conducting an orchestra.B．An orchestra having performed in Korea.C．Modern music combined with technology.D．Two conductors getting worldwide recognition.While temperatures continue to climb, visitors are still coming to see Death Valley National Park on the California-Nevada border. The park is known as the hottest place on Earth. This past weekend, the temperatures climbed to 53.33℃. Most visitors at this time of year make it only a short distance to any area in the park before returning to the cool air in their vehicles.Early information from the park service shows that across the nation’s 424 national parks, at least four people have died this year from heat-related causes. That includes a 65-year-old man from San Diego who was found dead at Death Valley earlier this month.Death Valley National Park suggests visitors be careful and not have expectations of rescue. While park rangers (护林员) drive on park roads and can aid tourists in need, it is unsure that lost visitors will get help in time.Physical activity can make the heat feel even worse and leave people exhausted. Alessia Dempster, who was visiting from Edinburgh, Scotland, said, “It’s very hot especially when there’s a gentle wind. You would think maybe that would give you some slight relief from the heat, but it just really does feel like an air blow dryer just going back in your face.”Death Valley is a narrow area that is below sea level and surrounded by high mountains, the park service’s website says. The dry air and small plant coverage let sunlight heat up the park surface. The heat then becomes trapped in the valley.Still, several areas in Death Valley continue to draw tourists. Badwater Basin, made up of salt flats, is considered the lowest point in all of North America. The 183-meter UbehebeCrater dates back over 2,000 years. And Zabriskie Point is a great sunrise viewing spot.Josh Miller, a visitor from Indianapolis who has been to 20 national parks so far, shared that feeling. “It’s hot, but the scenery is awesome,” he said.8．What do most visitors do in Death V alley?A．Cool themselves in time.B．Do lots of physical exercises.C．Stay away from park rangers.D．Carry dryers with themselves.9．Why does the author mention the 65-year-old man in paragraph 2?A．To encourage the elderly to travel more.B．To express admiration for mountain climbers.C．To advise people to tour Death Valley more often.D．To show the danger of traveling in Death Valley.10．What does paragraph 5 mainly tell us about Death Valley?A．Its covering area.B．Its attractive spots.C．The reason why it is so hot.D．The service of its park’s website. 11．What can be inferred about Death Valley from the last two paragraphs?A．It has a short history.B．It is worth visiting.C．It draws fewer and fewer tourists.D．It is unsuitable for viewing sunrise.Indoor food growing operations are seeing both successes and failures in the United States. Some companies in the food industry are investing (投资) even as competitors fail.California-based Plenty Unlimited this summer began working on $300 million indoor plants, while Kroger announced that it would be increasing its availability of vertically (垂直地) farmed produce. Meanwhile, two indoor farming companies that got strong backing—New Jersey’s AeroFarms and Kentucky’s AppHarvest—filed for financial failure and reorganization. And a five-year-old company in Detroit, Planted Detroit, shut its doors this summer.The industry changes do not worry Jacob Portillo, a grower with Eden Green Technology, an indoor farming company. “The fact that other people are failing and other people are succeeding is going to happen in any industry you go to,” he said.Indoor farming refers to growing crops indoors, which experts sometimes call “controlled environment agriculture”. There are different methods. One method called vertical farming involves putting produce from floor to ceiling, often under artificial lightsand with the plants growing in nutrient-enriched water. Other growers are trying very large greenhouses, indoor beds of soil in big buildings and using special robots for parts of the farming process.Supporters say growing indoors uses less water and land and permits food to be grown closer to consumers, saving on transport. Indoor growing is also a way to protect crops from increasingly extreme weather caused by climate change.But critics question the sustainability (可持续性) of operations that can require a lot of energy for artificial lights. And they say paying for that light can make profitability impossible. Curt Covington of AgAmerica Lending, a private investment company centered on agriculture, is not convinced that indoor farming operations can work—except in special cases. Given the high cost of indoor operations, Covington said, “It’s just hard to be very profitable.”12．What is Jacob Portillo’s attitude to the indoor food growing industry?A．Positive.B．Worried.C．Unclear.D．Doubtful. 13．What can we learn about indoor farming?A．It takes a lot of manpower to take care of plants.B．It means growing plants in water instead of soil.C．It protects crops from increasingly extreme weather.D．It is different from controlled environment agriculture.14．Why did Curt Covington question indoor farming operations?A．They produce little food.B．They carry great cost.C．They need sunlight.D．They lack investors.15．What is the best title for the text?A．What Types of Food Can Be Grown Indoors?B．How Can You Grow Food Indoors Without Soil?C．Indoor Farming Companies Take Agriculture IndoorsD．Indoor Food Growing Operations Face an Uncertain Future二、七选五It can be a wonderful and satisfying experience to have roommates to share a home with. Living with others can often help you develop close relationships and learn some life skillsalong the way. 16 .Honest communicationIn order to solve any problems that may arise, effective communication is necessary.17 , where you feel free to voice worries, expectations and feedback.
