2.D 推理判断题。根据International students 部分中的“However, DOC does not offer opportunities to students
who study at universities outside New Zealand, or other education providers outside New Zealand.”可知,DOC不会为在新西兰以外的大学及其他教育机构学习的学生提供做志愿者的机会。结合选项可知,一位来到新西兰叔叔家做客几天的英国大学生不能在新西兰参与DOC的志愿者活动。故选D。 3.C 推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“If you’re visiting New Zealand and would like to volunteer, DOC
(Department of Concentration) welcomes you to get involved.”可知,这是新西兰的DOC部门发布的一则招募志愿者的公告。根据You may need a police certificate部分中的“How to get a new police certificate if you’re already in New Zealand. (Click here)”可 知,如果你已经在新西兰,请点击这里了解如何获得新的警察证明。由此可知,这则公告发布在了一个网站上。故选C。
B
Erik Kobayashi-Solomon spent a day with Dr. Paul Gauthier, a plant physiologist specializing in vertical farming research and came away with several important ideas about vertical farming.
Humans have 12,000 years of experience growing food, but only a generation or so worth of experience growing crops indoors. We are still progressing up the technology learning curve (学习曲线). What's more, traditional farming techniques are based on conditions that are not applicable to vertical farming. Therefore, without taking time to understand the science, vertical farming is not likely to be able to live up to its implied promises.
The cost of powering LED grow lights is one of the biggest problems a vertical farm must overcome. Dr. Louis
2
Albright at Cornell has characterized vertical farms as \" pie-in-the-sky\" businesses. He famously calculates, for instance, that the cost of a loaf of bread would be $ 24 if farmed indoors — the cost is too high. Gauthier acknowledges that energy prices are high but points out that scientific work has shown that only about 6% of available sunlight is used in crop photosynthesis (光合作用), so there may be ways of growing the same plants with less light.
Gauthier also points out that while energy costs are a bit high, vertical farming does create high efficiencies in other areas. Water usage may be significantly reduced because the same water can be recycled time and again. Fertilizer use can be greatly reduced and pesticides for pest control are unnecessary. It's clear that vertical farming offers real value to society.
The future is probably mixed. In some environments — the Middle East, for instance — a move to vertical farming is a no-brainer. An indoor farm in Saudi Arabia, for instance, can use solar energy to power LEDs at low cost without shading out other farmland. In other geographies, though, the expense of establishing a facility places a high bar on growth and profitability. A large vertical fanning and equipment operation only started generating a small profit eight years into its nine-year life.
4. What can we infer about vertical farming in Paragraph 2? A. It will replace traditional farming one day. B. It relies on research of more basic science. C. It can be applicable on different conditions. D. It actually came into being 12,000 years ago. 5. What does Dr. Albright think of vertical farms? A. They use less light than traditional ones. B. They may seem very unlikely to succeed. C. They can overcome many problems in farming. D. They do not need any natural sunlight any longer. 6. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about? A. The ways of reducing costs of vertical fanning. B. The secrets of developing vertical farming. C. The recent trend of vertical farming. D. The benefits of vertical farming.
7. Why is the example of “an indoor farm in Saudi Arabia” mentioned?
3
A. To show vertical fanning can work well in some places. B. To prove solar energy is vital for farming in Saudi Arabia. C. To confirm the expense of setting up a vertical farm is high. D. To argue vegetables do not need to be imported any longer.
【文章大意】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍垂直农场。Erik Kobayashi-Solomon与从事垂直农场研究的植物生理学家Paul Gauthier博士进行了一天的交流,得出了几个关于垂直农场的重要观点。
4. B 推理判断题。根据第二段中What's more, traditional farming techniques are based on conditions that are not
applicable to vertical farming. Therefore, without taking time to understand the science, vertical farming is not likely to be able to live up to its implied promises.“更重要的是,传统的农业技术所基于的条件并不适用于垂直农业。因此,如果不花时间去理解科学,垂直农业就不太可能实现其隐含的承诺。”可知,垂直农业依赖于更多基础科学的研究。故选B。
5. B 推理判断题。根据第三段中The cost of powering LED grow lights is one of the biggest problems a vertical
farm must overcome. Dr. Louis Albright at Cornell has characterized vertical farms as “pie-in-the-sky” businesses.为LED种植灯供电的成本是垂直农场必须克服的最大问题之一。康奈尔大学的路易斯·奥Dr. Albright垂直农业似乎不太可能成功。尔布赖特博士将垂直农场描述为“天上掉馅饼”的生意。可知,故选B。
26.D 主旨大意题。根据第四段中It's clear that vertical farming offers real value to society.“很明显,立体农场
为社会提供了真正的价值。”可知,这一段讲述了垂直农业的好处。故选D。
7. A 推理判断题。根据最后一段中An indoor farm in Saudi Arabia, for instance, can use solar energy to power
LEDs at low cost without shading out other farmland. In other geographies, though, the expense of establishing a facility places a high bar on growth and profitability.“例如,沙特阿拉伯的一个室内农场可以使用太阳能以较低的成本为LED供电,而不会遮挡其他农田。然而,在其它地区,建立一个设施的成本对增长和盈利能力提出了很高的要求。”可知,文中提到an indoor farm in Saudi Arabia是为了说明垂直扇风在某些地方可以很好地工作。故选A。
C
I'm not much of a gardener. I love having beautiful flowers-but I don't have a good track record when it comes to making them grow.
A few months after our son left for the Middle East, my friend gifted me a box of tulip bulbs (郁金香球茎). She explained that these bulbs were put into the ground in the fall and lay sleeping all winter. They had all the nutrients they needed inside the bulb and would come out in the spring. ''When you see the leaves of the tiny flowers pushing
4
toward the sun, you'll know that it's almost time for your son to come home. They'll give you what you need most.'' She walked me through the process of planting them. I thanked her — trying to show my gratitude for her gift.
It was a long winter — cold and dark. I endured both the weather and the loneliness and fear I felt with my son away. Dead leaves, frost and finally a heavy snow covered the area where I'd planted those flowers, and I soon forgot they were there.
Finally the weather began to warm. One day, as I walked down my front steps, I noticed an area of green. I bent down to inspect the situation more clearly and saw that those tulips had begun to grow, their tiny leaves forcing their way to the sun.
Day after day I noted the flowers' progress. And day after day, the time approached when my son would finally be home. Now with spring just around the corner, nothing could keep either of us from marching toward the light. Almost all of those bulbs bloomed. And with each brightly colored flower, I marked off one day closer to getting to hold my son in my arms again. 8. What can we know about the author? A. She is a professional gardener. B. She is not good at growing flowers. C. She never plants flowers at home. D. She often sends friends flowers as gifts. 9. Why did the writer forget the tulip bulbs soon? A. The bitter winter reminded her of her son far away. B. She was discouraged from making another attempt. C. They failed to live through the cold and long winter. D. She had no hope for beautiful flowers indeed.
10. What were those flowers mentioned in the last paragraph referred to? A. A physical representation of the hope. B. Things deep inside her heart and soul. C. A lesson she will never forget completely. D. The trouble she had in making them come out. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A dark winter with hope. C. An area of green in spring.
B. Planting hope in winter. D. Living a changeable life.

9.D 推理判断题。根据第三段的It was a long winter — cold and dark …Dead leaves, frost and finally a heavy
snow covered the area where I'd planted those flowers, and I soon forgot they were there. (那是一个漫长的冬天——又冷又黑……枯叶、霜和最后那场雪覆盖了我种那些花的地方,我很快救忘记了它们的存在)可知,冬天很冷、很长,故推测作者忘记它们是因为觉得它们熬不过这个冬天,即没对它们抱有希望。 D. She had no hope for beautiful flowers indeed. (她根本没对这些花种抱有希望)符合以上推测,故选D项。
10.A 细节理解题。根据最后一段的Day after day I noted the flowers' progress. And day after day, the time
approached when my son would finally be home. (我日复一日的关注这花的成长。一天又一天我的儿子终于要回家了)和And with each brightly colored flower, I marked off one day closer to getting to hold my son in my arms again. (每开一朵色彩鲜艳的花,都标志着我离再次把儿子抱在怀里的日子又近了一天)可知,每开一朵花就代表作者儿子的归来近了一天,即花就是儿子回来的希望。A. A physical representation of the hope. (希望的实物表现)符合以上说法,故选A项。
11. B 主旨大意题。根据文章的主要内容,尤其是第二段的She explained that these bulbs were put into the
ground in the fall and lay sleeping all winter. They had all the nutrients they needed inside the bulb and would come out in the spring. ''When you see the leaves of the tiny flowers pushing toward the sun, you'll know that it's almost time for your son to come home. (她说这些郁金香球茎秋天种下,整个冬天都在土里。它们的球茎内有生长所需的营养物质,到了春天的就会从土里出来。当你看到这些小花的叶子朝着太阳的方向生长时,你就知道你的儿子差不多该回家了)可知,本文主要讲述了冬天种下的郁金香球茎在春天会长出来,这也意味着作者的儿子快要回来,即花代表着作者儿子回来的希望。B. Planting hope in winter. (在冬天种下希望)可以作为本文标题,故选B项。

Dogs love to get out and stretch their legs, which not only helps to keep them in shape, but enables them to keep the extra pounds off. Pet hiking has been popular recently, getting dogs off the sidewalk.
Three years ago, Denver resident Brittany Redding was stressed out, working 60 hours a week while studying in
6
graduate school full-time. The only thing that helped was taking her four dogs hiking. “That’s when it hit me that I should do that as a job.” she says. After graduating in June 2016, she founded Take a Hike. Her company, like a number of others around the country, takes dogs to explore beyond the neighborhood.
Before taking on the tracks, Brittany meets with each dog and his or her owner to get a sense of the pet’s character. Then she schedules a meet-and-greet with other dogs that will join the hike to be sure to match their personalities. Each hiking is about two hours long and includes transportation to and from the track for around $70 per outing. “Hiking allows dogs lo meet new friends and explore new tracks, smells, and wildlife,” she explains.
Michael Mizenko thinks sending his pet, Ajax, on weekly hikes with Take a Hike has made Ajax a happier dog. Over the past two years, hiking has taught Ajax how to stay off pavement, be more social and remain calm in the car. “It has made him a flexible easygoing guy.” Michael says. 12. Why has pet hiking been popular in these days? A. Dogs strongly desire their owners to go hiking. B. Animal health specialists recommend people to do it. C. It is beneficial for pets’ shape and health. D. The owner’s house is not big enough for dogs. 13. What is the second paragraph mainly talking about? A. Why Brittany founded Take a Hike. B. How hard the study life of Brittany was. C. Take a Hike is very popular in the neighborhood. D. Dog hiking has brought great enjoyment to Brittany.
14. What does Brittany want to make sure before taking her customers’ dogs to go hiking? A. The distance of the track. B. The character of each dog. C. The environment of the track.
D. The emotions of both dogs and their owners.
15. How often does Michael Mizenko send his pet to hike with Take a Hike? A. Every day.
B. Once a week.
C. Twice a week.
D. Every other week.

After graduating in June 2016, she founded Take a Hike. Her company, like a number of others around the country, takes dogs to explore beyond the neighborhood.”可知,三年前丹佛居民Brittany Redding在全日制研究生院学习的同时每周还要工作60个小时,这使她感到压力重重。只有一件事能够让她感到放松:带她的四只狗徒步旅行。就在那时她想到她应该把带狗徒步旅行当作自己的工作。于是 2016年6月毕业后,她创立了Take a Hike公司。因此第二段主要谈论的是Brittany Redding创立Take a Hike公司的原因。故选A。 14. B 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Before taking on the tracks, Brittany meets with each dog and his or her
owner to get a sense of the pet’s character.”可知,在开始徒步旅行之前,Brittany与每只狗及其主人见面以了解宠物的性格。即Brittany要在带上顾客的狗去远足之前了解每只狗的性格。故选B。 15.B 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Michael Mizenko thinks sending his pet, Ajax, on weekly hikes with Take
a Hike has made Ajax a happier dog.”可知,Michael Mizenko认为,每周一次的徒步旅行使他的宠物Ajax变得更快乐。因此Michael Mizenko每周将宠物送到Take a Hike公司参加一次徒步旅行。故选B。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)

【参考范文】 Dear Miss Wang,
As our graduation is drawing near, I'm afraid that we have to say goodbye to each other soon. Here I'm writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for your support and guidance during the past three years.
I still remember there was a time when I was struggling with my English learning and even thought of giving it up. However, it was you who selflessly sacrificed your spare time to guide me, cheer me up and help me with my English. Without your help, I couldn't have made such great progress.
Again, I would like to express my warm thanks to you and I wish you good health and a happy mood every day.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
A little boy selling magazines for school walked up to a house that people rarely visited. The house was very old

and shabby and the owner hardly ever came out. When he did come out, he would not say hello to his neighbors or passers-by but simply just glare at them.
The boy knocked on the door and waited, sweating from fear of the old man. The boy’s parents told him to stay away from the house, and a lot of the other neighborhood children were told the same thing from their parents.
As he was ready to walk away, the door slowly opened. “What do you want?” the old man said impatiently. The little boy was very afraid but he had a quota(份额)to meet for school with selling the magazines. So he got up the courage and said, “Uh, sir, I am selling these magazines and uh, I was wondering if you would like to buy one from me.”
The old man just stared at the boy without a word. The boy could see inside the old man’s house and saw that he had dog figurines(小雕像)on the fireplace mantle. “Do you collect dogs?” The little boy asked. “Yes, I have many collections in my house. They are my family here and they are all I have.” The boy then felt sorry for the man, as it seemed that he was a very lonely soul. “Well, I do have a magazine here for collectors. It is perfect for you. I also have one about dogs since you like dogs so much.” The old man was ready to close the door on the boy and said, “No, boy. I don’t need any magazines of any kind, now goodbye.”
The little boy was sad that he was not going to make his quota with the sale. He was also sad for the old man being so alone in the house that he owned. The boy went home and then had an idea. He had a little dog figurine that he got some years ago from an aunt. The figurine did not mean nearly as much to him since he had a real live dog and a large family. 注意:

From that day on something changed inside the old man. ___________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【参考范文】
The boy headed back down to the old man’s house. He knocked on the door again and this time the old man came right to the door. “Boy, I thought I told you no magazines!” The old man stared at him angrily. “I know that, sir. I just wanted to bring you a gift.” The little boy handed him the dog figurine. Looking at the boy, the old man was too surprised to say anything and simply smiled in tears, as no one had ever shown him so much kindness.
From that day on something changed inside the old man. He started coming out of the house and talking to his neighbors. Soon, he and the boy became friends. The boy visited the old man frequently and brought his real live dog to his house once in a while. He even invited the old man to join his family for Christmas dinner. With the boy’s company, the old man was no longer alonely soul. 16
