B.Supportive.C.Objective. D.Disapproving.【解析】選B。推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段第二句可知,作者認(rèn)為可以在花園里種植蔬菜和水果的那些人很幸運(yùn),所以可以判斷出作者是支持在花園里種植蔬菜的。故選B項(xiàng)。3.Whatcouldbethebesttitleforthetext?A.SimpletoCookMushroomPizzasB.FunandEasytoGrowMushroomsC.ExpensivetoBuyMushroomsOnlineD.ImportanttoEatVegetablesandFruit【解析】選B。主旨大意題。文章主要講述了種植蘑菇很容易也很有趣,故選B項(xiàng)。而簡(jiǎn)單的烹飪蘑菇比薩餅、網(wǎng)上購(gòu)買昂貴的蘑菇以及吃蔬菜和水果很重要都與本文無(wú)多大聯(lián)系。故排除A、C、D項(xiàng)。B(2021·大慶高二檢測(cè))Wheatisamainsourceoffoodforpeopleacrosstheplanet,accountingforafifthofthecaloriesconsumedglobally.Butasaresultofclimatechange,scientistsbelievemostpartsoftheworldwherethecropisgrownwillbehitbywatershortagebytheendofthecentury.AndtheUScouldbeamongthecountriesworstaffected,theauthorsoftheresearchpublishedinthejournalScienceAdvancestoldNewsweek.Ifclimatechangeisn’tdealtwith,bytheyear2100,60percentofareasthatgrowwheatwillbehitbywaterscarcity—upfromthecurrentlevelof15percent,accordingtotheinternationalteamofscientists.Co-authorsMiroslavTrnkaandSongFengtoldNewsweekthatintheirpreviousresearch,theyhadshownclimatechangemaycausesoiltobecomelessmoist(濕潤(rùn)的)acrossmostmainlandUSstates,includingthosewherewheatisgrown.Asaresult,theUScouldbe“oneofthetopmostaffectedwheatproducers”intermsoftheincreaseinareasaffectedbyseveredroughts,theysaidinajointstatement.Worryingly,existingresearchhaspredicteda4.0to6.5percentdropinglobalwheatproductionper1degreeCelsiusofwarmingifclimatechangeisn’teased.Andit’sunlikelythatwheatcanbereplacedifwaterbecomesscarce,asit’snotasthirstyasothercropsandcandowithoutwaterforarelativelylongperiodoftime.“Ifmultipleregionsareaffectedbydroughtatthesametime,itmightbedifficulttomeetthedemandevenifthetraderoutesstayopenandarenotrestrictedbygovernmentalmeasures,”warnedFengandTrnka.However,hesaid,“Studiesshowthatifwecontinuouslyimprovethesustainabilityandtechnologiesinthecomingdecadesandallowforinternationaltrade,wemayovercomethenegativeimpactsofclimatechange.”【語(yǔ)篇概述】科學(xué)家認(rèn)為由于氣候變化,到本世紀(jì)末,世界上大部分種植小麥的地區(qū)將受到缺水的影響,如果氣候變化得不到緩解,全球小麥的產(chǎn)量將會(huì)減少。4.Howwillclimatechangehurtwheatproduction?A.Byloweringthetemperature.B.Byreducingthewatersupply.C.Bypollutingthesoil.D.Byfloodingthefield.【解析】選B。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第二句可知,由于氣候變化,小麥種植地將受到缺水的影響,又根據(jù)第四段可知,缺水會(huì)影響小麥產(chǎn)量,故選B。5.WhatcanwelearnfromParagraph3?A.WheatproductioncauseddroughtsinmostmainlandUSstates.B.TheUnitedStatesisthebiggestwheatproducerintheworld.C.TheUnitedStateswillsufferalotfromclimatechange.D.ClimatechangeiscloselywatchedbyAmericanscientists.【解析】選C。推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段的內(nèi)容,尤其是“theUScouldbe’oneofthetopmostaffectedwheatproducers’”可推知,美國(guó)將在氣候變化中受到很大影響,故選C。6.Whyiswheatunlikelytobereplacedbyothercropsinadrought?A.Itistheprimaryfoodformostcountries.B.Itisnotinfluencedbyglobalwarming.C.Itiswidelygrowninmostcountries.D.Itneedslesswaterthanothercrops.【解析】選D。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段最后一句可知,小麥不像其他作物那樣那么需要水,在相當(dāng)長(zhǎng)的一段時(shí)間內(nèi)沒有水也能生存,因此小麥不太可能被其他作物取代,故選D。7.Inwhichsectionofanewspapermaythistextappear?A.Health. B.Science.C.Education. D.Entertainment.【解析】選B。推理判斷題。通讀全文可知,這是一篇有關(guān)氣候變化對(duì)小麥產(chǎn)量的影響的文章,由此可推知,本文可能出現(xiàn)在報(bào)紙的科學(xué)版塊,故選B。Ⅱ.完形填空SeveraltimesmydaughterCarolynhadtelephonedtosay,“Mother,youmustcomeandseethedaffodils(水仙花)1theyareover.”Iwantedtogo,butitwasatwo-hourdrivefrommyhome.“IwillcomenextTuesday,”I2,alittlereluctantly(勉強(qiáng)地),onherthirdcall.
