2019-2020年高考英语二轮复习 阅读理解（6）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。Two dolphins race around in a big pool in the Ocean Park. The smaller dolphin, Grace, shows off a few of her tricks, turning around and waving hello to the crowd. The most amazing thing about her, however, is that shes even swimming at all. She doesnt have a tail.Grace lost her tail as a baby when she got caught up in a fish trap.When the dolphin arrived at the Ocean Park in December xx, she was fighting for her life. “Is she going to make it？” Her trainer, Abbey Stone, feared the worst. Grace did make itbut her tail didnt. She ended up losing her flukes and the lower part of her peduncle.Over the past six years, she has learned to swim without her tail. Dolphins swim by moving their flukes and peduncle up and down. Grace taught herself to move another waylike a fish! She pushes herself forward through the water by moving her peduncle from side to side.The movements put harmful pressure on Graces backbone. So a pany offered to create a manmade tail for her. The tail had to be strong enough to stay on Grace as she swam but soft enough that it wouldnt hurt her.The first time Grace wore the artificial tail, she soon shook it off and let it sink to the bottom of the pool. Now, she is still learning to use the tail. Some days she wears it for an hour at a time, others not at all. “The new tail isnt necessary for her to feel fortable，” says Stone, “but it helps to keep that range of motion(动作) and build muscles(肌肉)”Now, the dolphin is about to get an even happier ending. This month, Grace will star in Dolphin Tale, a film that focuses on her rescue and recovery. Her progress has inspired more than just a new movie. Many people travel from near and far to meet her.

More and more local small farms are popping_up in opposition to factory farms.Todays mercial farms do not fit the image that es to mind while happily singing along to “Old McDonald”. Instead, most of the nations food es from CAFOs, Confined Animal Feeding Operations, where animals are kept in tightly enclosed conditions as they are fattened up and readied to be killed for food.Fortunately, knowing exactly where ones food es from has led to an increase in the availability of what is known as “grassfed” beef. Technically, all cattle are grassfed for at least a limited amount of time, but what makes the meat significant is that it is grassfinished, not forcefed corn, soy or grains. This change in diet makes all the difference since corn is not part of the cows traditional diet, and therefore causes major health issues for it. To deal with the health issues, antibiotics (抗生素) are used and some of the antibiotics used to treat the cattle are similar to those given to humans, so they can decrease the effectiveness of medicine when a consumer is sick.A healthier diet for the cattle leads the meat to lower in both fat and calories. And when cooking grassfed beef, youd better use a slightly lower temperature to make it more delicious.文章大意：本文是一篇议论文。为了应对机械化农业的弊端，越来越多的小农业开始兴盛起来了，它们生产的农畜牧产品不仅丰富了人们的一日三餐，同时也更绿色、更健康。5The underlined words “popping up” (in the 1st paragraph) probably means _.Aimproving Bfading Cprofiting Dappearing答案：D词义猜测题。根据文章第一句中“and now more locallyfarmed protein choices are available”可知，现在有更多的当地小农场喂养的动物可满足人们对蛋白质的需求，即当地出现了越来越多小农场，由此可知，appear与pop up意思最为接近，故答案D符合文义。6The song “Old McDonald” describes _.Aanimals raised freely on local farmsBanimals kept in tightly enclosed conditionsCmercial farms providing fast foodDmercial farms providing unpopular foods答案：A推理判断题。根据文章第二段第一句“Todays mercial farms do not fit the image.”的提示和下文对商业农场喂养动物的方法的描述可知，the song “Old McDonald”所描述的喂养方式正好和商业农场相反，由此可推知，答案A符合文义。7Some medicines are less effective for beef consumers probably because _.Asome cattle feed on grainsBall cattle diet on grassCsome medicines are used to treat sick cattleDsome antibiotics are used by both cattle and people答案：D细节理解题。根据文章第三段最后一句中“and some of the antibiotics used to treat the cattle are similar to those given to humans.”可推知，答案D符合文义。8We can infer from the text that _.Afood from local farms can help add to the variety in our daily mealsBsoy or grains are on the list of traditional diets of the cattleCcorn for the cattle leads the meat to lower in both fat and caloriesDlower temperature makes grassfed beef more delicious答案：A推理判断题。根据文章第一段第一句“Walking in a farmers market often brings one to explore new food options, and now more locallyfarmed protein choices are available to help bridge the gap between our meals and the farms on which they originated.”可推知，选项A“当地小农场的食物可以丰富我们的一日三餐”符合文义。B、C两项与原文不符；D项不是经过推理得出的，不符合题意，故排除。
