Farms Appear in Cities
When you hear the word‘‘farm”, you may imagine the countryside with cows and crops.（1）But scientists say the farms of the future could be built in tall buildings in some large cities.
It may be difficult to believe but in fact the technology for growing crops indoors already exists. Farming in the city is already happening. （2）Some vegetables are already grown in greenhouses. Even the scientists at the South Pole research station can enjoy fresh vegetables they grow in their own greenhouse.（3）
Experts say indoor farming solves many problems.First, traditional farming takes up a lot of land. Growing crops in tall buildings-called vertical farming（垂直农业）can solve the problem.（4）Also, and vegetables grown indoors would not face serious threats from insects and bad weather.（6）
Though vertical farms don't exist yet, experts have created a plan for recycling in
such farms. The water from indoor fish ponds would be used to water crops. Gases from crop waste would be used to heat the building. Waste from chicken or pigs would be reused as a source of energy.（7）
But experts believe vertical farming is not going to be easy.（8） They say it can be difficult to control climate conditions indoors. Besides, plants differ in their weather and lighting needs.（9） For example. Some plants like warm, sunny weather, but other plants prefer cooler temperatures.
That’s not to say these difficulties won’t be overcome—but it will take time. Most experts suggest it may take about 5 to 15 years before the first vertical farms could be created.（10）
1.The word “farm” may make you think of the countryside.
A.True B. False C. Not Given

A. True B. False C. Not Given
答案：B
解析：第二段第一、二句“It may be difficult to believe but in fact the technology for growing crops indoors already exists. Farming in the city is already happening.”关键词“growing crops indoors already exists”室内作物种植已经出现，说明室内农场已成为现实，该题干表述有误。
3. Scientists at the South Pole research station live a hard life.
A. True B. False C. Not Given
答案：C
解析：通过关键词“South Pole research station”定位第二段最后一句“Even the scientists at the South Pole research station can enjoy fresh vegetables they grow in their own greenhouse.”并未提及在南极研究站的科学家们生活艰苦。
4. Vertical farming does not need as much land as traditional farming.
A. True B. False C. Not Given
答案：A
解析：第三段第二、三句“First, traditional farming takes up a lot of land. Growing crops in tall buildings-called vertical farming（垂直农业）can solve the problem.”关键词“land”传统农业种植需要许多土地，但是垂直农业能解决这个问题。所以题干正确。
5．Fresh fruits and vegetables are very expensive in cities.

A. True B. False C. Not Given
答案：A
解析：倒数第二段第一句“But experts believe vertical farming is not going to be easy.”关键词“not going to be easy”可见垂直农业并非易事，题干表述正确。
9. Indoor plants need the same weather and lighting.
A. True B. False C. Not Given
答案：B
解析：倒数第二段第三句“Besides, plants differ in their weather and lighting needs.”关键词“differ”可见不同植物对天气和光照的要求不同，题干表述正确。
10. The first vertical farms appeared 5 years ago.
A. True B. False C. Not Given
答案：B
解析：文中出现过5年的句子是“Most experts suggest it may take about 5 to 15 years before the first vertical farms could be created.”科学家们认为要克服垂直农场的问题需要5到15年，可见现在垂直农场还未出现，但是题干说垂直农场已经出现，且是在5年前出现，所以题干表述错误。

A Good Lesson
After living in Europe for seven years, my parents decided that my family would move to the United States. We all looked forward to this. What would people think of us? For me, I hoped to be the hero of the class.
I was not disappointed. All my classmates admired my experience, and I quickly became well known as “the French guy” .（1） I was very popular for a time. However, I was not interested in many things my classmates did, and it was hard for me to connect with them. I enjoyed listening to classical music, never watched TV, and almost never watched movies.
I did not have a common background with my friends because I grew up in Europe. I was a bit of an idiot to many people around me.（3）I kept talking proudly about my experience.And I thought myself better than those around me because I lived in Europe but they didn’t.（2）
I had decided I wanted better friends when my parents said that we were gong to move again! I saw this as a perfect chance to get better friends, where people did not know of my unkind past.
When we moved to California, I did not show off as I had done for five years.（4） I did not tell everyone that I lived in Europe. I till listened to classical music, but I just kept my music to myself. Sure enough, I found that people like someone who is not typical but does not boast about it.
Nothing can replace good friends, and if I had to control my temper and pride, it was well worth it.（5）
11. When I first moved to the US, I was very popular because of my_____.
A. good appearance B. outstanding talents
C. French accent D. overseas experiences
答案：D

12.I had few good friends partly because I________.
A. looked down upon my classmates B. liked listening to classical music
C. never went to the movies D. came from a very rich family
答案：A
解析：根据第三段最后两句“I kept talking proudly about my experience.And I thought myself better than those around me because I lived in Europe but they didn’t.”关键词“talking proudly”“thought myself better than those around me”推测主人公过于骄傲自己在欧洲生活的经历，认为自己比别人更优越。推测这应该是他人缘较差的原因。
13. The phrase “an idiot” ( Line 3, Para. 3) most probably means_______.
A. an actor B. a cheater C. a fool D. a loser
答案：C
解析：第三段第一句“I did not have a common background with my friends because I grew up in Europe. I was a bit of an idiot to many people around me.”关键词“did not have a common background”主人公和美国同学没有共同的文化背景，所以显得很傻。“idiot”指傻子。
14. When we moved to California, I stopped________.
A. boasting about my experience
B. talking about people around me
C. enjoying the classical music alone
D. making friends with my classmates
答案：A

Grandpa My Hero
My grandfather had only one child and that was my mother. He always wanted a son but it never happened. 26 When my mom got pregnant, he thought he finally had a boy in the family, but it turned out that her first child was my older sister. When I was born, Grandpa was very happy.
He was the first person to give me a baseball glove and to play baseball with me. My first glove was as small as my whole hand is now. When Grandpa gave me that glove, I was very excited. 27 It was my pride and joy.
When I was five, I played on my first baseball team and Grandpa was the coach. He wanted me to play one position, but I wanted to play another. 28 I tried so hard that I made good progress. Grandpa was very proud of me. Ever since then, he has worked with me to make me a better player.
Grandpa has helped me become not only a better player, but a better person. 29 Today Grandpa does not play baseball with me so often, but he still comes to every practice and game.He sits and watches my practices through rain and shine. 30 I love him and hope he will be around for many more years to support me and baseball.
26.
答案：B
解析：根据26空前文“He always wanted a son but it never happened.”祖父很想要一个儿子，但事与愿违。推测后文可能要提及祖父喜欢儿子的原因。选B。
27.
答案：A
解析：27空前文“When Grandpa gave me that glove, I was very excited.”以及后文“It was my pride and joy.”可知小男孩非常喜欢祖父送他的手套。推测此处应该要描写小男孩高兴的心理活动和行为。
28.
答案：D
解析：根据28空前文“He wanted me to play one position, but I wanted to play another.”以及后文“I tried so hard that I made good progress.”推测这里即将讨论小男孩打篮球的站位问题。后文小男孩非常努力，可以推测祖父让他去了自己喜欢的位置。
29.
答案：C
解析：29空前文“Grandpa has helped me become not only a better player, but a better person.”推测这里要谈到祖父对小男孩人生观的影响。
30.
答案：E

We use larger nets and bigger boats to catch 33 numbers of fish.Activities like these affect plants and animals. They 34 affect things like the soil and water.
Sometimes our actions make the number of a 35 plant or animal get larger. For example, if you planted roses in your yard, there would be more roses in your area.
Our activities can also 36 to a smaller number of plants and animals. If a park were turned into an apartment building, what would happen to the plants and animals there? Well, they would 37 die or move to other 38 . There would be fewer plants and animals.
Pollution and other activities sometimes cause the number of a species（物种）to become so 39 that it cannot survive. A species that is in 40 of dying out is called an endangered （濒危的）species.
31.
答案：A
解析：原文“All across Earth, humans are 31 the environment in small and large ways.”表语不完整。与名词“environment”搭配的应该是动词，排除不是动词的选项。谓语动词用“are”后面接一种进行时态。所以此处填入changing。
32.
答案：B
解析：原文“We plow fields to 32 crops.” 不定式补语成分欠缺。应该填入动词“grow”搭配名词“crops”
33.
答案：E

不定式中成分缺失。修饰名词“numbers”应该用形容词“huge”。
34.
答案：H
解析：原文“Activities like these affect plants and animals. They 34 affect things like the soil and water.”句子结构完整。前文提及活动影响动物植物，后文提及还影响土壤和水，所以空白处应该填入表示程度的副词。修饰动词“affect”用副词“also”。
35.
答案：G
解析：原文“Sometimes our actions make the number of a 35 plant or animal get larger.”修饰名词“plant”用形容词certain。让特定的植物和动物变大。

38.

39.
答案：J
解析：原文“Pollution and other activities sometimes cause the number of a species（物种）to become so 39 that it cannot survive.” so修饰形容词。根据“cannot survive”知空白处应填入small。

解析：原文“A species that is in 40 of dying out is called an endangered （濒危的）species.”in danger of 处于……危机中。
六、完形补文（第31～40题，每题1.5分，共15分）
下面的短文有10处空白，短文后列出12个词，其中10个取自短文，请根据短文内容将其分别放回原有位置，以恢复文章原貌，将正确选项写到答题卡上。
The Power of Language
Language is something that defines (define) us humans. When language is 41 (use) well, it can bring out very deep feelings in others, and encourage others to take 42 (act). Sometimes in poetry a certain phrase can bring 43 (tear) to the eyes and move us deeply. When we use language to express our true feelings to someone, it can open and 44 (deep) the connection between us.Language is a very 45 (power) tool. How we use language shapes our world. How we use self-talk 46 (direct) shapes our experience of both ourselves and the world.How we deliver 47 (communicate) shapes the way the world 48 (respond) to us. We can use language more 49 (effective). And this clearly influences the health and power of our 50 (person) relationships and business relationships.
41.
答案：used
解析：原文“When language is 41 (use) well”表语不完整。“language”与“use”
是被动关系，所以use应变为used。
42.
答案：action
解析：原文“and encourage others to take 42 (act).”采取行动用take action。
43.
答案：tears
解析：原文“Sometimes in poetry a certain phrase can bring 43 (tear) to the eyes”，固定词组bring tears to one’s/the eyes，意为使……掉泪，因此用tears。
44.
答案：deepen
解析：原文“it can open and 44 (deep) the connection between us.”搭配名词“the connection”用动词。deep的动词形式是deepen。
45.
答案：powerful
解析：原文“Language is a very 45 (power) tool.”表语不完整。副词“very”修饰形容词，名词“tool”应用形容词修饰。所以power变形为powerful。
46.
答案：directly
解析：原文“How we use self-talk 46 (direct) shapes our experience of both ourselves and the world.”这里“How we use self-talk”是整个句子的主语。“shapes”是句子的谓语。主谓宾结构已经完整。修饰动词“shapes”应用副词“directly”。
47.
答案：communication
解析：原文“How we deliver 47 (communicate) shapes the way the world 48 (respond) to us.”与46题相似“How we deliver 47 ”是句中的主语。这里动词“deliver”应该搭配名词。communicate变形为communication。
48.
答案：responds
解析：原文“How we deliver 47 (communicate) shapes the way the world 48 (respond) to us.”从句中“the world”是主语，“us”是宾语，谓语动词应该用第三人称单数“responds”。
49.
答案：effectively
解析：原文“We can use language more 49 (effective).”修饰动词“use”用副词effectively。
50.
答案：personal
解析：原文“And this clearly influences the health and power of our 50 (person) relationships and business relationships.”修饰名词“relationships”用形容词personal。
