Disney and Universal rank first with their famous theme parks in the U. S. and abroad, but regional options offer unique experiences, rides, and themes that you won’t find anywhere else.Tokyo DisneySea, JapanTokyo Disney Resort tops the must-visit list for many Disney theme park fans. Tokyo Disneyland is very similar to Magic Kingdom in Florida or Disneyland Park in California, but Tokyo DisneySea is unique with its nautical (海上的) theme, fantastical lands, and beautiful sections inspired by the Mediterranean, Arabian, and American coasts.Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, United Arab EmiratesThis primarily indoor Ferrari-inspired theme park in Abu Dhabi is a must-visit for car and thrill lovers. It’s home to the world’s fastest roller coaster Formula Rossa, which reaches speeds of 149 mph. When visiting, make sure you also take advantage of the driving experiences, on which you can go around Yas Island behind the wheel of a Ferrari.Tivoli Gardens, DenmarkOne of the world’s oldest operating amusement parks, Tivoli Gardens is a must-visit attraction in the heart of Copenhagen. The park dates back to 1843, and it has rides, theaters, and restaurants spread across its charming grounds and gardens. During the holidays, the park is extra magical with its annual festival when the scene lights up with decorations.Efteling, NetherlandsEfteling is the Netherlands’ largest and one of Europe’s most-visited amusement parks. Its imaginative rides, gardens, and attractions are themed to Dutch folklore and fairy tales, including a 15-acre Fairytale Forest with more than two dozen scenes.

Thrilling rides lovers only.BBy tradition, on Lunar New Year, you’re supposed to put on new clothes, from inner to outer ones. If they’re the lucky red, all the better. You can never have too much luck.But when you turn a multiple of 12, 24, 36, 48, 60 and so on — the tradition gets extended: Red underwear every day of that lunar calendar year. When I first heard about the practice a few years ago, I considered it nonsense. It also seemed ridiculous to buy so many pairs in a color vivid under light clothes. My practical immigrant Chinese parents, an engineer and scientist, didn’t pass this tradition down. Adding another superstition (迷信) also seemed like a thing I could do without. But as I approach my fourth time around the wheel for the “Year of the Dragon,” — in what’s known as “ben ming nian” or the threshold year — I’ve been reflecting upon the milestones of those past intervals: puberty at age 12, moving across the country for a job at 24 and giving birth to my twin sons at 36.The more I’ve looked into the practice, the more I realize the significance of its popularity. As an American-born Chinese, I have always adopted and adapted what comes from my birthplace. Logically, I know it won’t matter if I wear red or not, but for me, for now, this shared tradition strengthens my bond with my culture.So often, life goes by so quickly before we could realize. Days become weeks, months, years and suddenly a dozen years go by. My newborns have grown into tweens and I’ve transformed from not quite middle-aged to now very much so. With the turn of the Lunar New Year, I value a chance to reflect on my past struggles and how I found a way through.It’s a mindset we could all benefit from.24. What is the tradition on Lunar New Year A. Wearing lucky red clothes all year round.B. Putting on new clothes from head to toe.C. Never having too many lucky clothes.D. Extending the superstition at a multiple of 12.25. Why did the author mention her parents A. To prove it is ridiculous to wear red clothes.B. To honor her practical immigrant parents.C. To blame her parents for not passing the tradition down.D. To justify her not following the extended tradition.26. What finally changed the author’s attitude to the practice A. Her approaching the age of 48. B. Its connection with her culture.C. Her illogical thinking patterns. D. Its popularity among immigrants.27. What might the author do at her fourth time around the wheel A. Reflect on her way through. B. Develop a new beneficial mindset.C. Buy underwear in the vivid red. D. Realize time going by quickly.CA few months ago, I was in a cinema queue behind a man whose two sons were asking if they could have Tango Ice Blasts bright blue partly frozen drinks. The father hesitated for a moment. They’d already had too much sugary stuff that day, he said. “But it’s sugar-free,” replied one of the boys. That sealed the deal. The boys walked off happily into the cinema holding their drinks.In an era when sugar is widely seen as enemy No.1, sugar-free drinks and treats, sweetened with low-calorie additives (添加剂), become well-liked and promise guilt-free sweetness. Some people deliberately choose low-sugar options in the hope of losing weight or managing diabetes; others just enjoy the taste.But even if you aren’t seeking them out, it’s hard to avoid artificial sweeteners. In 2021, researchers looked at foods for sale in Hong Kong and found that sweeteners were present not just in products where you would expect them, such as sugarless chewing gum, but also in salad dressings, breads, instant noodles and many crisps.They have become such a common part of our diet that environmental scientists have started looking for traces of them-particularly acesulfame potassium, which passes through the body largely undigested — as a marker for human waste in lakes and rivers.The rise of sweeteners is, in part, a sign of the spectacular success of sugar taxes, which have been introduced in more than 40 countries since 2010. In the UK, the soft drinks industry tax was announced in 2016 and fully carried out in 2018, as part of a plan to “tackle childhood obesity”. The tax charged manufacturers 24p a litre for any drink with 8g or more of added sugar per 100ml. Almost all the major soft drinks brands in the UK cut the sugar content of their products and replaced the missing sweetness with some kind of artificial alternative. “Original” Coca-Cola and “blue” Pepsi were among the few drinks to keep their recipes the same. Once they became more expensive, compared to the sugar-free alternatives, their sales fell.28. What made sugar-free drinks and treats popular A. The public’s pursuit of health. B. The taste of low-calorie additives.C. People’s promise to manage diabetes. D. Parents’ expectation of guilt-free sweetness.29. Why is it hard to avoid artificial sweeteners A. Because they are present in every food product.B. Because they can be found in the environment.C. Because they are widely used in our diet.D. Because they are part of a plan to deal with obesity.30. What did drink manufacturers in the UK do with the sugar tax A. Major soft drinks brands reduced their products’ sugar content.B. Coca-Cola and Pepsi refused to change their recipes.C. Nearly all big soft drinks brands turned to artificial sweeteners.D. Drink companies lowered the price to raise their sales.31. Which is the most suitable title for the text A. Sugar, Enemy No.1. B. The Rise of Artificial Sweeteners.C. The Secret to Health: Low-calorie Additives. D. Scientific Facts Behind Health.DImagine walking into your local grocery store on a freezing January day to pick up freshly harvested lettuce, fragrant basil, juicy sweet strawberries, and ripe red tomatoes — all of which were harvested at a local farm only hours before you’d arrived. You might be imagining buying that fresh produce from vertical (垂直的) farms where farmers can grow indoors year-round by controlling light, temperature, water, and oftentimes carbon dioxide levels as well. Generally, fresh produce grown in vertical farms travels only a few miles to reach grocery store shelves compared to conventional produce, which can travel thousands of miles by truck or plane.Beyond providing fresh local produce, vertical agriculture could help increase food production and expand agricultural operations as the world’s population is projected to be over 9 billion by 2050. And by that same year, two out of every three people are expected to live in urban areas. Producing fresh greens and vegetables close to these growing urban populations could help meet growing global food demands in an environmentally responsible and sustainable way by reducing delivery chains to offer lower emissions, providing higher-nutrient produce, and completely reducing water usage and runoff.Recently, USDA and the Department of Energy held a workshop focused on vertical agriculture. At this workshop, field experts shared presentations followed by small group discussions focused on areas such as plant breeding, pest management, and engineering. Workshop attendees worked together to identify the challenges, needs, and opportunities for vertical farming. A report on this workshop will be released to help inform Departmental strategic planning efforts for research priorities at USDA and funding opportunities for researchers.Vertical agriculture presents potential opportunities to address food security. That’s why USDA already has some of these funding and research chances in place. The National Institute for Food and Agriculture has funding opportunities that could support future vertical agriculture conferences and research. Similarly, the Agricultural Research Service is working on a project to increase U.S. tomato production and quality in greenhouses and other protected-environments.32. What is the advantage of vertical farms A. Delivery chains can be extended.B. Food yield can be increased.C. Fresh produce can be sold by consumers.D. Produce can travel long distance by truck or plane.33. What does the underlined word “projected” mean in paragraph 2 A. suspected B. estimated C. proved D. displayed34. What do we know about the workshop A. A released report helps promote Departmental strategies.B. Small group discussions concentrated on agricultural areas.C. People attending the workshop shared presentations.D. Researchers might benefit a lot from this workshop.35. Why did USDA provide funding and research chances for vertical agriculture A. To support future agricultural conferences.B. To increase tomato production and quality.C. To present potential chances to consumers.D. To explore possibilities for food security.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分7.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。If you’ve spent any time online in the first few weeks of 2023, you may have already picked up on the buzz surrounding ChatGPT.

I just smiled and nodded my head as I looked at her tight little closed fist.The UPT driver walked into the garage and sat the two packages down on the wooden bench. He and I stood talking about the numerous baseball gloves, baseball bats, helmets and baseballs sitting about the room. I told him I had been raised in a Jacksonville, Florida orphanage and that during my entire childhood I never once owned anything of my own. I told him that these presents were for the children themselves and not for the orphanage.After talking for a few minutes, the driver told me he had to leave. He waved and began walking back down the driveway. I turned around, locked garage door and began walking up onto the front porch. Just as I closed the gate, Madison came running up to where I was standing.“My flowers, my flowers,” she screamed aloud. I soon realized that I had locked her weeds in the garage.注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。“We’ll get them later,” I told her.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________I turned around, walked back to the end of the porch and opened the gate.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________湖北省部分省级示范高中2023～2024学年上学期高二期末测试英语试卷考试时间：2024年1月31日 试卷满分：150分★祝考试顺利★注意事项：1. 答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将准考证号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。2. 选择题的作答：每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。3. 非选择题的作答：用黑色签字笔直接答在答题卡上对应的答题区域内。写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分)做题时，先将答案标在试卷。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分)听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】When will the man meet Cooper A.

Improving her work efficiency.C. Adding fun to conversations.18. Which of the following is used most in the speaker’s country A. LOL. B. TBH. C. OMG.19. In which state did people use the fewest initial words A. Minnesota. B. Georgia. C. Idaho.20. Why does the speaker mention other countries at last A. To state the fact that initial words are widely used.B. To prove some countries rarely use initial words.C. To compare the use of initial words in different countries.【答案】17. A 18. A 19. C 20. A【解析】【原文】W: From LOL to OMG, these are the texting initial words Americans can’t get enough of. These words are made up of the first letters of the words in a phrase, which makes it easier to use. My friends always talk to me with these special words, so I have to learn their meanings in order to use them regularly. They make our conversations more interesting, too. Sometimes my friends create new initial words, so I need to guess what they mean. Recently, I learned from a study on the app WordTips that the initialism for Laugh out loud”- LOL was the most common in the nation. TBH, which stands for “to be honest”, was the most popular in 7 states-Washington, Oregon, Minnesota, New Mexico, Wisconsin, Illinois and Indiana. Some other findings of this WordTips study include statistics like which state’s texting initial words are used the most. In this category, Georgia swept the competition. In contrast, people in Idaho used the smallest number of initial words out of all 50 states. Besides the US, where I was born, I know people in other countries, like France and China, also use the texting initial words. But we should know these special words can only be used informally. It is rude if we use them in formal situations. For example, we hardly see initial words in the official news or letters.第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。AWhether you’re a thrill-seeker looking for the world’s most intense roller coasters or a family planning a vacation filled with fun for parents and kids, theme parks have something for everyone.

If they’re the lucky red, all the better. You can never have too much luck.But when you turn a multiple of 12, 24, 36, 48, 60 and so on — the tradition gets extended: Red underwear every day of that lunar calendar year. When I first heard about the practice a few years ago, I considered it nonsense. It also seemed ridiculous to buy so many pairs in a color vivid under light clothes. My practical immigrant Chinese parents, an engineer and scientist, didn’t pass this tradition down. Adding another superstition (迷信) also seemed like a thing I could do without. But as I approach my fourth time around the wheel for the “Year of the Dragon,” — in what’s known as “ben ming nian” or the threshold year — I’ve been reflecting upon the milestones of those past intervals: puberty at age 12, moving across the country for a job at 24 and giving birth to my twin sons at 36.The more I’ve looked into the practice, the more I realize the significance of its popularity. As an American-born Chinese, I have always adopted and adapted what comes from my birthplace. Logically, I know it won’t matter if I wear red or not, but for me, for now, this shared tradition strengthens my bond with my culture.So often, life goes by so quickly before we could realize. Days become weeks, months, years and suddenly a dozen years go by. My newborns have grown into tweens and I’ve transformed from not quite middle-aged to now very much so. With the turn of the Lunar New Year, I value a chance to reflect on my past struggles and how I found a way through.It’s a mindset we could all benefit from.24. What is the tradition on Lunar New Year A. Wearing lucky red clothes all year round.B. Putting on new clothes from head to toe.C. Never having too many lucky clothes.D. Extending the superstition at a multiple of 12.25. Why did the author mention her parents A. To prove it is ridiculous to wear red clothes.B. To honor her practical immigrant parents.C. To blame her parents for not passing the tradition down.D. To justify her not following the extended tradition.26. What finally changed the author’s attitude to the practice A. Her approaching the age of 48. B. Its connection with her culture.C. Her illogical thinking patterns. D. Its popularity among immigrants.27. What might the author do at her fourth time around the wheel A Reflect on her way through. B. Develop a new beneficial mindset.C. Buy underwear in the vivid red. D. Realize time going by quickly.【答案】24. B 25. D 26. B 27. C【解析】【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要介绍了作者通过自己的体会和感触介绍了穿红色在中国农历新年和本命年的意义。【24题详解】细节理解题。文章第一段讲到“By tradition, on Lunar New Year, you’re supposed to put on new clothes, from inner to outer ones. (按照传统，在农历新年，你应该穿上新衣服，从内到外。)”可知，农历新年的传统是从头到脚穿上新衣服。故选B。【25题详解】推理判断题。文章第二段讲到“When I first heard about the practice a few years ago, I considered it nonsense. It also seemed ridiculous to buy so many pairs in a color vivid under light clothes. My practical immigrant Chinese parents, an engineer and scientist, didn’t pass this tradition down. (几年前，当我第一次听说这种做法时，我认为这是无稽之谈。买这么多颜色鲜艳的浅色衣服似乎也很可笑。我务实的中国移民父母是一名工程师和科学家，他们没有把这一传统传下来。)”可知，作者提到她的父母是为她不遵循传统辩解。故选D。【26题详解】细节理解题。文章第三段讲到“As an American-born Chinese, I have always adopted and adapted what comes from my birthplace. Logically, I know it won’t matter if I wear red or not, but for me, for now, this shared tradition strengthens my bond with my culture.( 作为一个在美国出生的中国人，我一直采用和适应来自我出生地的东西。从逻辑上讲，我知道我是否穿红色并不重要，但对我来说，就目前而言，这种共同的传统加强了我与我的文化的联系。)”可知，最终改变了作者对习俗的态度是因为这个习俗与她的文化有关。故选B。【27题详解】推理判断题。文章倒数第二段讲到“Logically, I know it won’t matter if I wear red or not, but for me, for now, this shared tradition strengthens my bond with my culture. (从逻辑上讲，我知道我是否穿红色并不重要，但对我来说，就目前而言，这种共同的传统加强了我与我的文化的联系。)”以及最后一段“My newborns have grown into tweens and I’ve transformed from not quite middle-aged to now very much so. With the turn of the Lunar New Year, I value a chance to reflect on my past struggles and how I found a way through.( 我的新生儿已经长成了十一二岁的孩子，我已经从不到中年变成了现在的中年。随着农历新年的到来，我很珍惜有机会反思我过去的挣扎，以及我是如何找到出路的。)”可知，由文章最后两段可知作者对于本命年穿红色内衣的态度改变了，开始接纳这一传统。因此在她即将到达第四个本命年的时候，她可能会买红色内衣来穿。故选C。CA few months ago I was in a cinema queue behind a man whose two sons were asking if they could have Tango Ice Blasts bright blue partly frozen drinks. The father hesitated for a moment. They’d already had too much sugary stuff that day, he said. “But it’s sugar-free,” replied one of the boys. That sealed the deal. The boys walked off happily into the cinema holding their drinks.In an era when sugar is widely seen as enemy No.1, sugar-free drinks and treats, sweetened with low-calorie additives (添加剂), become well-liked and promise guilt-free sweetness. Some people deliberately choose low-sugar options in the hope of losing weight or managing diabetes; others just enjoy the taste.But even if you aren’t seeking them out, it’s hard to avoid artificial sweeteners. In 2021, researchers looked at foods for sale in Hong Kong and found that sweeteners were present not just in products where you would expect them, such as sugarless chewing gum, but also in salad dressings, breads, instant noodles and many crisps.They have become such a common part of our diet that environmental scientists have started looking for traces of them-particularly acesulfame potassium, which passes through the body largely undigested — as a marker for human waste in lakes and rivers.The rise of sweeteners is, in part, a sign of the spectacular success of sugar taxes, which have been introduced in more than 40 countries since 2010. In the UK, the soft drinks industry tax was announced in 2016 and fully carried out in 2018, as part of a plan to “tackle childhood obesity”. The tax charged manufacturers 24p a litre for any drink with 8g or more of added sugar per 100ml. Almost all the major soft drinks brands in the UK cut the sugar content of their products and replaced the missing sweetness with some kind of artificial alternative. “Original” Coca-Cola and “blue” Pepsi were among the few drinks to keep their recipes the same. Once they became more expensive, compared to the sugar-free alternatives, their sales fell.28. What made sugar-free drinks and treats popular A. The public’s pursuit of health. B. The taste of low-calorie additives.C. People’s promise to manage diabetes. D. Parents’ expectation of guilt-free sweetness.29. Why is it hard to avoid artificial sweeteners A. Because they are present in every food product.B. Because they can be found in the environment.C. Because they are widely used in our diet.D. Because they are part of a plan to deal with obesity.30. What did drink manufacturers in the UK do with the sugar tax A. Major soft drinks brands reduced their products’ sugar content.B. Coca-Cola and Pepsi refused to change their recipes.C. Nearly all big soft drinks brands turned to artificial sweeteners.D. Drink companies lowered the price to raise their sales.31. Which is the most suitable title for the text A. Sugar, Enemy No.1. B. The Rise of Artificial Sweeteners.C. The Secret to Health: Low-calorie Additives. D. Scientific Facts Behind Health.【答案】28. A 29. C 30. C 31. B【解析】【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章从无糖饮料的流行入手，讲述了甜味剂被广泛使用的现象和原因。【28题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“Some people deliberately choose low-sugar options in the hope of losing weight or managing diabetes; others just enjoy the taste.(有些人故意选择低糖食品，希望能减肥或控制糖尿病;其他人只是享受它的味道)”可知，无糖可乐变得流行是因为人们追求健康或喜欢这和口味，故选A。【29题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段“In 2021, researchers looked at foods for sale in Hong Kong and found that sweeteners were present not just in products where you would expect them, such as sugarless chewing gum, but also in salad dressings, breads, instant noodles and many crisps.(2021年，研究人员对香港出售的食品进行了调查，发现甜味剂不仅存在于无糖口香糖等你会想到的产品中，还存在于沙拉酱、面包、方便面和许多薯片中)”以及第四段“They have become such a common part of our diet(它们已经成为我们日常饮食中很常见的一部分)”可知，很难避免人造甜味剂是因为它们在我们的饮食中被广泛使用。故选C。【30题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段“Almost all the major soft drinks brands in the UK cut the sugar content of their products and replaced the missing sweetness with some kind of artificial alternative.(英国几乎所有主要的软饮料品牌都减少了产品中的糖含量，并用某种人工替代品代替了缺失的甜味)”可知，几乎所有的大型软饮料品牌都转而使用人工甜味剂。故选C。【31题详解】主旨大意题。根据第二段“In an era when sugar is widely seen as enemy No.1, sugar-free drinks and treats, sweetened with low-calorie additives (添加剂), become well-liked and promise guilt-free sweetness. Some people deliberately choose low-sugar options in the hope of losing weight or managing diabetes; others just enjoy the taste.(在一个糖被普遍视为头号敌人的时代，无糖饮料和零食，添加低热量添加剂的甜味，变得很受欢迎，并承诺没有负罪感的甜味。有些人故意选择低糖食品，希望能减肥或控制糖尿病；其他人只是享受它的味道)”结合文章从无糖饮料的流行入手，讲述了甜味剂被广泛使用的现象和原因。B选项“人造甜味剂的兴起”最符合文章标题。故选B。DImagine walking into your local grocery store on a freezing January day to pick up freshly harvested lettuce, fragrant basil, juicy sweet strawberries, and ripe red tomatoes — all of which were harvested at a local farm only hours before you’d arrived. You might be imagining buying that fresh produce from vertical (垂直的) farms where farmers can grow indoors year-round by controlling light, temperature, water, and oftentimes carbon dioxide levels as well. Generally, fresh produce grown in vertical farms travels only a few miles to reach grocery store shelves compared to conventional produce, which can travel thousands of miles by truck or plane.Beyond providing fresh local produce, vertical agriculture could help increase food production and expand agricultural operations as the world’s population is projected to be over 9 billion by 2050. And by that same year, two out of every three people are expected to live in urban areas. Producing fresh greens and vegetables close to these growing urban populations could help meet growing global food demands in an environmentally responsible and sustainable way by reducing delivery chains to offer lower emissions, providing higher-nutrient produce, and completely reducing water usage and runoff.Recently, USDA and the Department of Energy held a workshop focused on vertical agriculture. At this workshop, field experts shared presentations followed by small group discussions focused on areas such as plant breeding, pest management, and engineering. Workshop attendees worked together to identify the challenges, needs, and opportunities for vertical farming. A report on this workshop will be released to help inform Departmental strategic planning efforts for research priorities at USDA and funding opportunities for researchers.Vertical agriculture presents potential opportunities to address food security. That’s why USDA already has some of these funding and research chances in place. The National Institute for Food and Agriculture has funding opportunities that could support future vertical agriculture conferences and research. Similarly, the Agricultural Research Service is working on a project to increase U.S. tomato production and quality in greenhouses and other protected-environments.32. What is the advantage of vertical farms A. Delivery chains can be extended.B. Food yield can be increased.C. Fresh produce can be sold by consumers.D. Produce can travel long distance by truck or plane.33. What does the underlined word “projected” mean in paragraph 2 A. suspected B. estimated C. proved D. displayed34. What do we know about the workshop A. A released report helps promote Departmental strategies.B. Small group discussions concentrated on agricultural areas.C. People attending the workshop shared presentations.D. Researchers might benefit a lot from this workshop.35. Why did USDA provide funding and research chances for vertical agriculture A. To support future agricultural conferences.B. To increase tomato production and quality.C. To present potential chances to consumers.D. To explore possibilities for food security.【答案】32. B 33. B 34. D 35. D【解析】【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了垂直农业，说明了其特点和优势等情况。【32题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中“Generally, fresh produce grown in vertical farms travels only a few miles to reach grocery store shelves compared to conventional produce, which can travel thousands of miles by truck or plane.(一般来说，垂直农场种植的新鲜农产品只需几英里就能到达杂货店货架，而传统农产品可以通过卡车或飞机运输数千英里)”可知，第一段讲的是垂直农业的运输优势，以及第二段中“Beyond providing fresh local produce, vertical agriculture could help increase food production and expand agricultural operations (除了提供新鲜的当地农产品外，垂直农业还可以帮助增加粮食产量和扩大农业经营)”可知，垂直农场的优点是粮食产量可以增加。故选B。【33题详解】词义猜测题。根据第二段“ as the world’s population is projected to be over 9 billion by 2050. And by that same year, two out of every three people are expected to live in urban areas.（到 2050 年，世界人口projected将超过 90 亿。到同一年，预计三分之二的人将居住在城市地区。）”可知，人口预估会超过9 billion，A. suspected怀疑；B. estimated估计；C. proved证明；D. displayed展示。故选B。【34题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段“A report on this workshop will be released to help inform Departmental strategic planning efforts for research priorities at USDA and funding opportunities for researchers.（关于这个研习会的报告将会被公布，以帮助告知农业部在战略计划上的努力，这些战略计划是针对美国农业部研究重点与研究者的资金补助)”，研究人员可能会从这次研讨会中受益匪浅。故选D。【35题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段“Vertical agriculture presents potential opportunities to address food security. That’s why USDA already has some of these funding and research chances in place. （垂直农业为解决粮食安全问题提供了潜在机会。这就是为什么美国农业部已经提供了一些资助和研究机会。）”可知，USDA提供资助与研究机会是为了探索粮食安全的可能性。故选D。第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分7.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。If you’ve spent any time online in the first few weeks of 2023, you may have already picked up on the buzz surrounding ChatGPT.

I just smiled and nodded my head as I looked at her tight little closed fist.The UPT driver walked into the garage and sat the two packages down on the wooden bench. He and I stood talking about the numerous baseball gloves, baseball bats, helmets and baseballs sitting about the room. I told him I had been raised in a Jacksonville, Florida orphanage and that during my entire childhood I never once owned anything of my own. I told him that these presents were for the children themselves and not for the orphanage.After talking for a few minutes, the driver told me he had to leave. He waved and began walking back down the driveway. I turned around, locked garage door and began walking up onto the front porch. Just as I closed the gate, Madison came running up to where I was standing.“My flowers, my flowers,” she screamed aloud. I soon realized that I had locked her weeds in the garage.注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。“We’ll get them later,” I told her.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________I turned around, walked back to the end of the porch and opened the gate.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________【答案】One possible version:“We’ll get them later,” I told her. I just did not want to walk back down the stairs and unlock the garage door for a bunch of worthless weeds. Putting my hand onto her small shoulder, I began directing her back into the house. She stood there with tears welling up in her eyes. “These flowers are specially for my mommy and daddy,” she sobbed. All of a sudden, I realized that those baseball gloves were like gold to those homeless children just as those weeds were beautiful flowers to my granddaughter.I turned around, walked back to the end of the porch and opened the gate. Then I walked down the three stairs, took out my keys and opened the garage door. Wearing a shining smile on her face, Madison ran past me, grabbing the little treasures she had picked moments before. “Thank you, grandma, I love you!” she said. I knelt down, looked through the green, now lifeless weeds and smiled as I saw the beauty of a dozen beautiful red roses reflecting in her eyes. As is often the case, something valueless to adults means a lot to children.【解析】【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者一家为当地慈善机构的无家可归的孩子们举办的7月圣诞派对，孙女说她专门为父母准备了花，其实只是杂草。一开始作者并不重视孙女要打开车库门的请求，后来认识到了孙女的用心，非常感动。【详解】1.段落续写：①由第一段首句内容“我告诉她：‘我们一会儿再去拿。’”可知，第一段可描写孙女被拒绝后的伤心反应，作者的感悟和反应。②由第二段首句内容“我转过身，走回门廊的尽头，打开了门。”可知，第二段可描写作者为孙女开门拿东西，认识到了一些对成年人来说毫无价值的东西对孩子来说却很重要。2.续写线索：拒绝开车库门——孙女哭泣——感悟——打开库门——孙女开心——感悟3.词汇激活行为类①回去：walk back /go back②开始：begin /start③看见：see/spot情绪类①专门：specially / particularly②美丽：beautiful /gorgeous【点睛】[高分句型1] Putting my hand onto her small shoulder, I began directing her back into the house.
