2019-2020年高考英语一轮总复习 课时作业12 Healthy eating 新人教版.阅读理解(xx湖北省重点中学联考)“Eat local.” Its one way to reduce human effect on the planet. Eating local means to try to buy and consume foods that are grown in places close to home. However, most of the food sold at supermarkets is not locally grown or produced. Trucks and planes deliver these foods from hundreds or thousands of miles away. During the transportation, greenhouse gases are produced, causing global warming. So the shorter the distance your foods must travel, the less the harm is done to the environment.But how do you get local food if you live in a large city, hundreds of miles away from farms ? Environmental health scientist Dickson Despommier and his students came up with the idea of a “vertical(垂直的) farm”A vertical farm is a glasswalled structure that could be built as tall as a skyscraper. Since the garden is built upwards, rather than outwards, it requires much less space than an ordinary farm. The world is quickly running out of room for ordinary farming. Vertical farms could be a key to this situation. Despommier imagines a 30story building with a greenhouse on every floor. The walls of the building would be clear, to allow crops to get as much sunlight as possible. Depending on a citys water resources, Despommier thinks hydroponic(水培) farming is another method for the vertical farm which needs no soil to grow plants.Despommier says the hydroponic greenhouses would use a system that would use a citys waste water and fill it with nutrition to make the crops grow. If this method works, it would provide food to a city and save millions of tons of water.The idea of a vertical farm has attracted the attention of government officials around the world. Scott Stringer, a government official from New York City, thinks the city is suitable for the vertical farming. “Obviously we dont have much land left for us,” Stringer said, “But the sky is the limit in Manhattan.”Despommier admits that there is still a lot of work to do to make vertical farms a reality. “But I think vertical farming is an idea that can work in a big way.” he says.1Why are people advised to eat local?ABecause it means convenience to people.BBecause it can help people save a lot of money.CBecause local food has more nutrition.DBecause it is environmentally friendly.2Which is one of the vertical farms benefits when pared with ordinary farming?AIt produces healthier food.BIt does less harm to the cities.CIt consumes more energy of the city.DIt needs less space of the city.3By saying “the sky is the limit in Manhattan”, Stringer means _.Apeople can make full use of vertical space of ManhattanBthere is a limit for using empty land in ManhattanCthe height of buildings in Manhattan is limitedDManhattan has a great potential for development4What can we learn about the vertical farming in the passage?AIn a vertical farm, soil may not be needed to grow plants.BIt has solved the problem of the food shortage in a big way.CIt is a 30story building with a greenhouse on every floor.DCrops are mainly grown in the rainwater in a vertical farm.答案与解析这篇文章介绍了建议人们吃当地食物,因为对环境有好处。1D细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句So the shorter the distance your foods must travel, the less the harm is done to the environment. 可知人们被建议吃当地食物的原因是对环境有好处,故选D项。2D细节理解题。根据倒数第二段The idea of a vertical farm has attracted the attention of government officials around the world. Scott Stringer, a government official from New York City, thinks the city is suitable for the vertical farming. “Obviously we dont have much land left for us,” Stringer said, “But the sky is the limit in Manhattan.”可知优点在于它需要城市中比较少的空间,故选D项。3A句意理解题。根据最后一段Despommier admits that there is still a lot of work to do to make vertical farms a reality. “But I think vertical farming is an idea that can work in a big way.” he says. 可知Stringer 的意思是人们应该充分利用曼哈顿的垂直空间,故选A项。4A推理判断题。第三段最后一句Despommier thinks hydroponic(水培的) farming is another method for the vertical farm which needs no soil to grow plants. 可知有些农田不需要土壤来生长植物,故选A项。.完形填空One night, when I was eight, my mother gently asked me a question I would never forget. “Sweetie, my pany wants to _1_ me but needs me to work in Brazil. This is like your teacher telling you that youve done _2_ and allowing you to skip a grade(跳级), but youll have to _3_ your friends. Would you say yes to your teacher?” She gave me a hug and asked me to think about it. I was puzzled. The question kept me _4_ for the rest of the night.

Every evening Id _6_ wait for the phone to ring and then tell her every detail of my day. A phone call, however, could never replace her _7_ and it was difficult not to feel lonely at times.During my fourthgrade Christmas break, we flew to Rio to visit her.

He had grey hair and thick glasses, and was carrying _3_ umbrella, a morning news paper and a bag. Mr. Jones thought that he must have arrived by the night train and decided to walk to the university instead of _4_ (take) a taxi.Mr. Jones had a big tree in his garden, and the children had tied a long rope to one of its _5_ (branch) so that they could swing on it.Mr. Jones was surprised to see the professor stop and look _6_ (care) up and down the road. When he saw that there was nobody _7_ sight, he stepped into the garden (there was no fence), put his umbrella, newspaper, bag and hat neatly on the grass and took hold of the rope. He pulled it hard to see _8_ it was strong enough to take his weight, then ran as fast as he could and _9_ (swing) into the air on the end of the rope.At last the professor stopped and continued on his way _10_ the university, looking as quiet and correct as one would expect a professor to be.答案与解析1neatly修饰实义动词用副词。2who先行词为人,定语从句中缺主语,故用 who 引导。3an表示“一个”,用不定冠词。4taking介词后用动名词作宾语。5branchesone of 后跟复数名词。6carefully修饰实义动词用副词。7inin sight 看得见。8whether/ifwhether/if引导宾语从句意为“是否”。9swung该空与 ran 并列,故用过去式 swung。10toon ones way to 在某人去某地的路上。.短文改错(xx浙江省宁波市阶段性考试)Dear Sir or Madam,Thank you for taking your time to read my letter.
