Everyone laughed because Professor Zhu Youyong carried along a big potato during his two minutes.“Farmers in China's poor areas can rely on agricultural science to strive for a well-off life,” said the 63-year-old plant-disease expert.Professor Zhu is nicknamed “potato scholar”. Born into a family of farmers in Yunnan, Zhu said he has an attachment to the land. Since 2016, Zhu's team has promoted agricultural science in Lancang, Yunnan Province.Zhu said farmers in the area only planted rice once a year. After the harvest, the rice fields stayed unused for the entire winter. In 2016, his team launched a pilot program, which was used to test the idea of growing a late-season potato crop.Success soon arrived, with about 3.1 tonnes of potatoes harvested in a field covering just 0.07 hectare, which brought income to farmers of about 9,000 yuan. Then in 2017, Zhu expanded cultivation (栽培) in several villages in the country, benefiting more than 1,000 families.“We have set a goal of helping every poor farmer in the country to earn 10,000 yuan out of 0.07 hectare of farmland cultivated each winter, so as to lift farmers out of poverty (貧困),” Zhu said.“Ultimately, I am a farmer. Going back to the fields and seeing how my research changed the lives of farmers in China is the most important thing to me,” he said.4.Why did Professor Zhu appear special at the group interviews?A.He was nicknamed “potato scholar”.B.He presented a big potato before the journalists.C.He occupied a good position for the interview.D.He was allowed to speak for a longer time.5.What does the underlined word “pilot” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A.Experimental.B.Advanced.C.Modern.D.Effective.6.How did Professor Zhu help the farmers to relieve from poverty?A.By controlling plant diseases.B.By increasing the rice harvest.C.By expanding local farmland.D.By introducing a kind of late-season potato.7.What is the text mainly about?A.The research of Professor Zhu in biological science.B.The contribution of Professor Zhu in potato marketing.C.The efforts of Professor Zhu to fight poverty in Yunnan.D.The dream of Professor Zhu to beautify the countryside.C[2022·大連市高三雙基測(cè)試卷]Think “art”. What comes to your mind? Is it Greek or Roman sculptures in the Louvre, or Chinese paintings? Have you ever imagined it's a dancing pattern of lights?The artworks created by American artist Janet Echelman look like colorful floating clouds when lit up at night. Visitors could not only enjoy looking at them but also interact with them literally—by using their phones to change the colorsand patterns. But are they really art?Whatever your opinion, we cannot deny art has existed for thousands of years and art and technology have always been two separate things.Today, however, technological advances have led to a combination of art and technology, changing the art world greatly. Now art is more accessible to us. For example, people used to queue up for six hours but spend limited time admiring the famous 5-meter Chinese painting AlongtheRiverDuringtheQingmingFestival. Thanks to technology, however, viewers can leisurely experience a digital version of this painting, where the characters can move and interact with their surroundings.The combination of art and technology is also changing our concepts of “art” and the“artist”. Not only can we interact with art, but also we can take part in its creation. With new technological tools at our fingertips, more people are exploring new art forms, such as digital paintings and videos.However, it has also raised questions over its overall quality. Can a video of someone slicing a tomato really be called “art”?Similarly, such developments are making the line between art and technology less distinct.Can someone unfamiliar with traditional artists' tools really call themselves an “artist”? And is the artist the creator of the art itself, or the maker of the technology behind it?Where technology will take art next is anyone's guess. But one thingis for sure—with so many artists exploring new possibilities, we can definitely expect the unexpected.8.How could viewers interact with Janet Echelman's artworks?A.By talking to her on the phone.B.By lighting up the artworks.C.By touching their phone screens.D.By coloring the patterns.9.What does the example in Paragraph 4 indicate?A.Achievements of China's technology.B.The influence of art on technology.C.Interaction between viewers and art.D.Easier access to art caused by technology.10.What do we know about the combination of art and technology?A.It lowers the quality of artworks.B.It involves common people in innovation.C.It shortens the time of painting.D.It makes scientists the real creators of art.11.What is the author's attitude towards combining technology with art?A.Regretful.B.Objective.C.Disapproving.D.Conservative.D[2022·青島市統(tǒng)一檢測(cè)]Adults with a poor education are also likely to have poor health, a growing body of evidence suggests. Study after study has confirmed the link, and now experts are zeroing in on the reasons for it and what can be done. “Persons with a higher education tend to have better jobs, and better income, better benefits,” said David R. Williams, a professor of public health in America.Those benefits, he said, go beyond health benefits to include such other factors as having the flexibility to take a day off or part of a day to see a doctor. “People with higher levels of education tend to have more resources to cope with stress and life,” Williams said. They have stress, of course, but also more resources to cope with it—such as access to a health club to exercise away the stress—than people with less education, he said.“Being better educated also means that a person is more likely to understand the world of modern medicine,” said Erik Angner, an assistant professor of philosophy and economics at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, who has researched the link between education and happiness. “Modern medicine is incredibly complex. And if you lack the basic reading skills required to function adequately in the health-care environment, you might find it harder to effectively understand your medical care.”A report issued by Williams' commission found that, compared with college graduates, adults who did not graduate from high school were 2.5 times as likely to be less than very good health. The report suggested that factors outside the medical system play an important role in determining people's health. Access to medical care is crucial, but it isn't enough to improve health. What's needed, they suggested, is increased focus on schools and education—encouraging people to obtain more education.12.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.Poor Education May Lead to Poor HealthB.Higher Education Can Bring More IncomeC.Happiness Comes from Good EducationD.Medical Care Safeguards Good Health13.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A.Resources to deal with life.B.Ways to exercise away stress.C.Factors concerning a higher education.D.Benefits related to a higher education.14.What can we learn from Angner's words?A.Better education means understanding the world better.B.Modern medicine world is too difficult to understand.C.People with a good education may be happier.D.Reading skills help in understanding medical care.15.What is stressed in the report issued by Williams' commission?A.Adults are less likely to have good health.B.The medical system determines people's health.C.More education is needed to improve health.D.More access to medical care is important.第二節(jié)(共5小題;每小題2分,滿分10分)閱讀下面短文,從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。[2022·昆明市高考模擬]How to Show MaturitySometimes it's fun to be a kid, but other times you want to show that you can be mature.

有時(shí)做個(gè)小孩很有趣,但有時(shí)你想要表現(xiàn)出你是成熟的。成熟可以是從童年走向成年的標(biāo)志。它可以包括智力、情感甚至精神方面。成熟不是一套規(guī)則或期望,而是一個(gè)概念。本文講述了一些可以幫助你變得成熟的方法。1.答案與解析:G 考查上下文銜接。根據(jù)下面的小標(biāo)題可知,此空需填概述性句子。空前講述成熟可以是從童年走向成年的標(biāo)志;空后講述成熟是一個(gè)概念。G項(xiàng)“它可以包括智力、情感甚至精神方面”承上啟下。故選G項(xiàng)。2.答案與解析:D

something,do it”可知,當(dāng)你說(shuō)你想做什么事時(shí)就去做。故可推知,本段講述言出必行。故可用“遵守諾言”作本段的小標(biāo)題。故選A項(xiàng)。4.答案與解析:E 考查上文銜接。根據(jù)本段的小標(biāo)題“尊重他人”可知,E項(xiàng)“言行都要尊重他人”符合本段的主要內(nèi)容,并且承接空前句“確保你以同樣的尊重對(duì)待他人,無(wú)論是你的父母、朋友還是戀人”。故選E項(xiàng)。5.答案與解析:B 考查上下文銜接。根據(jù)本段的小標(biāo)題“承認(rèn)自己的缺點(diǎn)”可知,承認(rèn)缺點(diǎn)本身就是一個(gè)成熟的標(biāo)志。B項(xiàng)中的“This”指代“Admit your disadvantages”。故選B項(xiàng)。【核心單詞】Para.1:maturity n.成熟Para:2:character n.性格master v.掌握,控制desire n.欲望Para.5:admit v.承認(rèn)disadvantage n.缺點(diǎn)【高級(jí)句式】All relationships are interactional,meaning that you both contribute to how you feel and what happens.(Para.5)分析:meaning that you both contribute to how you feel and what happens是現(xiàn)在分詞短語(yǔ)作伴隨狀語(yǔ),其中that引導(dǎo)賓語(yǔ)從句,how you feel and what happens是and連接的兩個(gè)由how和what引導(dǎo)的賓語(yǔ)從句作介詞to的賓語(yǔ)。譯文:所有的關(guān)系都是相互的,這意味著你們雙方共同促成了自己的感受和發(fā)生的事情。
