This trend involves growing vegetables and herbs in small plots of land, rooftops, or even in containers on balconies. It is a movement that combines the passion for nature with the convenience of urban living.One of the pioneers of urban farming in Shanghai is Li Wei, a 28-year-old engineer. Li Wei’s journey into urban f arming started when he noticed the lack of fresh vegetables in his local market. “I wanted to have access to fresh, organic produce without having to travel far,” he says. So, he started growing his own vegetables in his small apartment.Li Wei’s urban far m is a testament to the creativity and ingenuity of modern urbanites. He uses hydroponics, a method of growing plants without soil, to cultivate a variety of vegetables and herbs. The system is efficient and requires minimal water, making it ideal for urba n settings. “Hydroponics is perfect for small spaces,” Li Wei explains. “It allows me to grow more in less space.”The benefits of urban farming are numerous. Not only does it provide fresh, healthy food for individuals and communities, but it also helps to reduce carbon footprints. “When you grow your own food, you reduce the need for transportation and packaging,” Li Wei notes. “It’s a more sustainable way of living.”However, urban farming is not without its challenges. One of the biggest obstacles is the lack of awareness and knowledge about the practice. Many people are not aware of the benefits of urban farming and are hesitant to try itthemselves. Li Wei and his team are working to change this by organizing workshops and community events to educate people about urban farming.1、What motivated Li Wei to start his urban farming project?A. The high cost of fresh vegetables.B. The lack of fresh vegetables in his local market.C. The popularity of hydroponics.D. The desire to travel far.2、What is the main advantage of hydroponics for urban farming?A. It requires a lot of space.B. It is not suitable for growing vegetables.C. It is efficient and requires minimal water.D. It is expensive to set up.3、According to the passage, what are the benefits of urban farming?A. It increases the carbon footprint.B. It provides access to fresh, healthy food.C. It increases transportation costs.D. It requires a lot of packaging.4、What is one of the challenges faced by urban farming?A. The abundance of fresh vegetables in local markets.B. The high cost of hydroponic systems.C. The lack of awareness and knowledge about the practice.D. The difficulty of growing vegetables without soil.Answers:1、B2、C3、B4、C第二题Passage:In the small town of Greenfield, the local library has always been a hub of community activity.

The problem is the increasing amount of plastic waste being discarded in public spaces, which is not only unsightly but also harmful to our environment.Over the past few months, I have noticed a significant increase in plastic bags, bottles, and packaging being left on streets and in parks. This issue is not only a reflection of poor waste management but also a disregard for the health of our planet. The plastic waste ends up in rivers and oceans, where it can be ingested by marine life, causing long-term damage to the ecosystem.I believe there are several steps that can be taken to address this problem. Firstly, the local government should consider implementing stricter regulations on single-use plastics. This could include a ban on plastic bags at stores or imposing fines for littering. Secondly, educational campaigns should be launched to raise awareness about the environmental impact of plastic waste. These campaigns could be conducted in schools, community centers, and through local media outlets.I encourage the readers of your newspaper to take action as well. Here area few suggestions:。

Many Oxford colleges have their own tortoise and take part in the annual Corpus Christi tortoise race.Although you are not allowed to keep your own pet as a student, several Oxford colleges hold dog petting and walking therapy sessions.1．What is one of the rules for keeping pets at the University of Illinois?A．Pet keepers should pay a monthly US$ 30 pet fee which will be returned.B．Pets can’t be left alone in the apartments due to vacation or illness.C．Students have to keep fish in a fish tank of no more than 20 gallons.D．The cat or dog can’t be over 40 pounds when fully grown.2．Why did Dr. John-Tyler Binfet start B．A．R.

D．University of British Columbia.BA survey by the American Psychological Association shows that one in ten adults reads online news at least once an hour. A lot has been written about the mental health influence from news addiction, and in particular from reading negative reports. Just like junk food, “junk” news can be bad for our health.In recent years, things have been getting increasingly more negative. A study of the content of New Zealand’s largest newspaper showed that while in 1973 the average number of stories about death on the front page was 0.75, by 2013 it was 4.1(and no, there weren’t five times more people dying).What’s more, online news, and the stories we read on mobile phones in particular, tend to be even more negative than print. A 2019 study of 50 U.S. newspapers showed that mobile versions of newspapers report three times more stories about disasters and accidents than paper ones.Such negative reports lead people to believe that things are worse than they really are. They can lead to stress, worry and lower spirits.Experiments also suggest that loneliness and poor relationships have been connected with reading negative reports. After reading negative reports, people are less likely to help others. Even worse, when we check news on smart phones, we may “phub” our loved ones, which leads to lower relationship satisfaction.Negative reports attract our attention far more than positive ones. That’s a global happening. I hope, however, that if we realize that negative news is spoiling our moods, we might all be more willing to change. 4．Why is “junk food” mentioned in the first paragraph?A．To entertain readers.B．To introduce the topic.C．To make an advertisement.D．To keep readers away from it.5．What can we learn about the study in Paragraph 2?A．The death rate in New Zealand is very high.B．Print newspapers have become less popular.C．Stories about death have become less popular.D．Negative reporting has been increasing over years. 6．What may negative reports lead people to do?A．Live a hopeful life.B．Become more careful.C．Become less likely to help others.D．Pay more attention to their physical health.7．What does the underlined word “phub” in Paragraph 5 mean?A．Ignore B．Hate C．Laugh at D．Care about8．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．A Survey on News Reading Habits B．Negative Effects of Mobile PhonesC．Is Online News Better Than Print?D．Is Junk News a Danger to Health?CThere was once a boy called Mario who loved to have lots of friends at school. However, he wasn’t sure whether or not his classmates were his true friends, so he asked his grandpa. The old man answered, “I have just exactly what you need; it’s in the attic (阁楼). Wait here for a minute.”Grandpa left, soon returning as though carrying something in his hand, but Mario could see nothing there. “Take it. It’s a very special chair. Because it’s invisible (无形的) it’s rather difficult to sit on, but if you take it to school and you manage to sit on it, you’ll be able to tell who your true friends are.”Mario took the strange invisible chair and went to school. At break time he asked everyone to form a circle, and he put himself in the middle, with his chair. “Nobody move. You’re about to see something amazing,” Mario said.Then Mario tried sitting on the chair. He missed and fell straight onto his backside. Everyone had a pretty good laugh. Mario wouldn’t be beaten. He kept trying to sit on the magic chair, and kept falling to theground... until, suddenly, he tried again and didn’t fall. This time he sat, hovering (悬停) in mid-air.Looking around, Mario saw George, Lucas, and Diana — three of his best friends — holding him up, so he wouldn’t fall. At the same time, many others he had thought of as friends were doing nothing but make fun of him, enjoying each and every fall.Leaving with his three friends, Mario explained to them how his grandpa had so cleverly thought of such a good idea. Now he knows that those who take joy in our misfortunes (不幸) when we are in difficulty are not our true friends.9．What did Mario’s grandpa take from the attic?A．An invisible chair.B．An old chair.C．A real chair.D．Nothing.10．Why did Mario’s grandpa give him the invisible chair?A．To see whether Mario could sit on it. B．To test who were Mario’s true friends.C．To let Mario have fun with his classmates.D．To test whether Mario was popular at school. 11．How was Mario able to hover in mid-air?A．He saw the invisible chair suddenly. B．He managed to sit on the chair finally.C．His friends held him up with their hands. D．His classmates gave him a chair to sit on.12．What does the story tell us?A．Never laugh at our friends. B．True friends can help us do magic.C．True friends are those who care for us. D．Having too many good friends isn’t a good thing.DSure, it’s good to get along well with your teacher because it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant.And yes, it’s good to get along well with your teacher because, in general, it’s smart to learn how to get along well with the different types of people you’ll meet throughout your life.In fact, kids who get along well with their teachers not only learn more, but they’re more comfortable with asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier for them to understand new materials and makes them do their best on tests. When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems, such as problems with learning or school issues (问题).Here is a question：What if you don’t get along with your teachers? In fact, teachers want to get along well with you and enjoy seeing you learn. But teachers and students sometimes have personality clashes (个性冲突), which can happen between any two people. If you show your teacher that you want to make the situation better, he or she will probably do everything possible to make that happen. By dealing with a problem like this, you learn something about how to get along with people who are different from you.However if a certain teacher isn’t your favorite, you can still have a successful relationship with him or her especially if you fulfill (履行) your basic responsibilities as a student.Here are some of those responsibilities (责任)：Attend class ready to learn.Be prepared for class with the right stationery, books, and completed assignments (作业).Listen when your teacher is talking.Do your best, whether it’s a classroom assignment, homework, or a test.13．According to the passage, what will happen to you when getting along well with your teachers ?A．We will have no problems with studyB．We will get a better seat in the classroomC．We will get the best scores in the examsD．We will have more pleasant time in the classroom14．What does the underlined word “that” refers to in the fourth paragraph?A．The happy time you have in the classroomB．Getting along very well with classmatesC．A better relationship between you and your teacherD．The disappearance of personality differences15．What does the passage mainly talk about?A．The importance of friendship in schools.B．The importance of a good relationship with your teachers.C．Studying skills for students.D．Useful skills to get along well with your teachers.16．As a student, what will you do if you don’t like a certain teacher ?A．You fulfill (履行) your basic responsibilities as a studentB．You are thought of as a good studentC．You know some basic social skillsD．You are easygoing and helpful第二节七选五(每小题1分，共5分，根据短文内容，选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

ATeenage life around the worldAshaI'm from Tanzania. Like most teenagers, I start my day early and end it late. After school, I study at a night school to prepare for the university entrance exam. When I have time off, I prefer to be outdoors. I love nature and animals. I'm quite upset about how we treat the environment, so I do my best to help. I volunteer to plant trees and I'm a member of our school's Nature Club.SamikaI'm 15. I wish I were a student, but I'm not. I had to leave school when I was 13 so that I could get a job and help my family. I work in a garment. It's unbelievably hard work and the days are so long. Although everyone works hard, we still find time to play and laugh together. At times like these, the world feels like a wonderful place.FriederI'm 16 and I go to a high school in Munich. I'm not crazy about school — listening to a teacher isn't my thing — but I know I have to get an education. It's very difficult for young people to find a job in Europe, so I worry a lot about the future. Oh, and I'm a gaming nerd. I love Internet games so much that I have started a gaming club at my school.JoeI'm a student from London. The online world is a big part of my life. I've been using the computer since I was a kid. I do various things online. Besides doing all my schoolwork, I chat with friends, play computer games, watch films, read the daily news and shop online. My parents are worried. They keep telling me to drag myself away from the online world.1.What does Asha care about most?A. School life.B. Exams.C. Environment.D. Outdoor activities.2.Which of the following can best describe Samika?A. Her life is hard but she is happy.B. She is poor but can afford school.C. She is out of job and stressful.D. She is out of school and annoyed.3.What do Frieder and Joe have in common?A. They worry about their future.B. They are addicted to the Internet.C. They prefer to make friends online.D. They attend the computer club at school.BEveryone has "down days". Maybe it's because of the bad weather, or the poor grade on a difficult test, and some days teenagers just act uninterested in life or school. But these symptoms(症状) often pass quickly, as teens move on to new school subjects, or meet friends, preventing themselves from thinking what troubles them at the moment. But if a teenager displays symptoms of sadness for more than two weeks, it might point to something serious.As teenagers develop, they push new boundaries(边界), complain about rules and look for more free rights from their parents. According to the online Health Guide on Adolescent Development, parents must be lasting figures in their teenagers' life, providing safe boundaries for teens to grow, even if the teenagers act like these boundaries are unwanted.Parents need to provide rules, while also remaining flexible(灵活的) and respectful of the growing teens' need for freedom. For example, teenagers will often feel frustrated, embarrassed, and even angry that though they want freedom, they still need to ask their parents for agreement to go to a friend's house, or need their mothers to take them to school.The US Department of Education says that parents should respect(尊重) and support their teens' choices as long as those choices won't have long-term harmful effects. For example, even if a parent doesn't prefer the music his or her teen listens to, it's unlikely that the choice of music will prevent that teen from entering a good college, or lead to health problems. However, if that teen is drinking alcohol and driving, parents must get through strict punishments to teach him/her that there are bad results of poorchoices that come with increased freedom.4.Why do teens' feelings of bad days usually disappear quickly?A.Their teachers help them.B.They take some medicine.C.Their parents talk with them.D.They shift their attention.5.What does the example in Paragraph 3 show?A.Freedom must be given at any time.B.Teens are mad about being controlled.C.Teens need both freedom and proper rules.D.Rules must be absolutely strict for teens.6.What should parents do about their teens' choices?A.Support their helpful hobbies.B.Tell them which college to attend.C.Cancel their extra-curricular activities.D.Get them away from singing pop songs.7.What is the best title for the text?A.How to Be with Growing TeensB.Causes of Teens' SadnessC.Teens' Worries About Strict RulesD.The Importance of Making Friends with TeensCThe Internet plays a big part in human life. We use it for work and pleasure. We use it to learn a new language. We find advice on it. We use it to connect with family and friends. We use it to stay in touch with events we care about. The list goes on and on.As far as the Internet being a part of our lives, well, that train has left the station. There is no going back to an Internet-free life. But can using the Internet too much be bad for our health? It might be, say researchers. A new study finds that heavy Internet use may be connected to high blood pressure in a young group: teenagers.The study results show that teens who spend at least 14 hours a week only online may cause high blood pressure, which makes their hearts and blood vessels (血管) work too hard. Over time, this extra pressure increases the risk of a heart attack. High blood pressure can also cause heart and other diseases.The Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Michigan did the study. 335 young people, from 14 to 17 years old, took part in it. 134 of the teens were described as H heavy Internet users". And researchers found that out of these 134 teens, 26 had high bloodpressure. The researchers said the study was the first to connect heavy Web use with high blood pressure.The lead researcher is Andrea Cassidy-Bushrow. She says, "Using the Internet is part of our daily life, but il shouldn't ruin (毁坏)us. "Ms. Cassidy-Bushrow adds that it is important for teens to stop to have a rest regularly (有规律地)from their computers or smartphones and do some kind of physical activity. She also suggests that parents shouldn’t let their children use the Internet for more than two hours a day, five days a week.8. What does the underlined part ,"that train has left the station" mean in Paragraph 2?A. The train has changed its course.B. The Internet has improved peopled life.C. Life without the Internet is nowhere to be found.D. The Internet brings great changes to people's life.9. What can we know about the study according to Paragraph 4?A. Over half of the teens in the study were heavy Internet users.B. Most of the young people had high blood pressure.C. Adult people aged above 17 took part in the study.D. There was no similar study like it before.10. Which of the following would Andrea Cassidy-Bushrow probably agree with?A. That teenagers shouldn't use the Internet.B. That the Internet will ruin human life in the future.C. That smartphones are more harmful than computers.D. That regular breaks are necessary when using the Internet.11. What does the text mainly talk about?A. Heavy Internet users are mostly teenagers.B. How to prevent teenagers from using the Internet.C. Too much Internet use may be bad for teenagers.D. Every coin has two sides — so does the Internet.DA teenager needs to have a sense of independence in their life to feel secure(安全的). To some teenagers independence means a lot to them, and I think that some parents don't allow their teenagers enough independence.Independence has something to do with freedom. Some kids are not allowed to goanywhere alone, and the only thing their schedule includes is going to school, coming home, going to sleep, and repeating the process the next day. Parents tend to be afraid that their kids can get hurted if they go outside into the world. But if parents control their kids too much, they may never learn to live on their own. The best way for a teenager to learn lesson is through experience. I think it is beneficial for teenagers to have freedom.Teenagers' lack of freedom can also stop them from having good friendship at school. Some might say that this is a good thing, because it helps them focus more on their school work. I argue that this can only discourage them not to do their school work. Some parents do not allow their children to be around their friends outside the school, thinking that this will get them into trouble. But I don't think so. Instead, isn't this a good reason for parents to get their children a cellphone? Cellphones allow teenagers to stay in touch with their parents, and communicate better with their friends.Privacy is another issue between parents and their teenagers. Teenagers tend to enjoy relaxation by themselves in their own room. This also gives them a sense of independence. It often annoys teenagers when their parents enter their room when they are not home. I know that my mom always goes in my room when I'm not home, and this has brought me to the point where I have asked many times to get a lock on my door.12.What is the main idea of the second paragraph?A.Kids know how to live independently.B.Some parents allow their kids no freedom.C.It benefits teenagers to have freedom.D.Kids have a dull routine every day13.In the opinion of the author, ___________.A.parents should make it easy for kids to communicate with their friendsB.good friendships between kids harm their school workC.it is unnecessary for a kid to have a cellphoneD.kids should focus on the school work14.How do teenagers usually feel when their parents enter their rooms in their absence?A.DisappointedB.LuckyC.AngryD.Calm15.The author hopes to have her door locked in order to ______________.A.keep her father from reading her dairyB.prevent her mother entering her roomC.Protect herself from any harmD.Stop thieves from going in第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
