记叙文 摄影途中的所见所闻 ★★★ 6 min P52
　　Living in Iowa and trying to become a photographer specialising in landscape (风景) can be quite a challenge， mainly because the corn state lacks geographical variation.
Although landscapes in the Midwest tend to be quite similar， either farm fields or highways， sometimes I find distinctive character in the hills or lakes. To make some of my landscape shots， I have travelled up to four hours away to shoot within a 10-minute time frame. I tend to travel with a few of my friends to state parks or to the countryside to go on adventures and take photos along the way.
Being at the right place at the right time is decisive in any style of photography. I often leave early to seek the right destinations so I can set up early to avoid missing the moment I am attempting to photograph. I have missed plenty of beautiful sunsets/sunrises due to being on the spot only five minutes before the best moment.
One time my friends and I drove three hours to Devil’s Lake， Wisconsin， to climb the purple quartz (石英) rock around the lake. After we found a crazy-looking road that hung over a bunch of rocks， we decided to photograph the scene at sunset. The position enabled us to look over the lake with the sunset in the background. We managed to leave this spot to climb higher because of the spare time until sunset. However， we did not mark the route (路线) so we ended up almost missing the sunset entirely. Once we found the place， it was stressful getting lights and cameras set up in the limited time. Still， looking back on the photos， they are some of my best shots though they could have been so much better if I would have been prepared and managed my time wisely.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者作为一名风景摄影师在摄影途中的所见所闻。
(　　)4.How does the author deal with the challenge as a landscape photographer in the Midwest
A.By teaming up with other photographers.

B
(　　)5.What is the key to successful landscape photography according to the author

A.They went crazy with the purple quartz rock.
B.They felt stressed while waiting for the sunset.
C.They reached the shooting spot later than expected.
D.They had problems with their equipment.
【解析】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“However， we did not mark the route (路线) so we ended up almost missing the sunset entirely.”可推知，在作者与朋友的魔鬼湖之旅中，他们到达拍摄地点的时间比预期的要晚。

说明文 食物荒漠 ★★★ 7 min P52
　　Food deserts are generally classified as geographic regions where people have few or limited options to purchase nutritious and affordable foods like vegetables and fruits. Food deserts affect low-income areas far from supermarkets. Over 23 million Americans live in low-income areas located more than one mile from a food store. Over 11 million people living in these regions are themselves low-income. While people in food deserts may have easier access to convenience stores and fast food， they experience more challenges in shopping at large grocery stores that offer a more comprehensive (全面的) selection of healthy foods at lower prices.
This inequality in food access means that families， children， and communities living in food deserts may be at increased risk of obesity and other diet-related health issues， including diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
While the existing literature on the lack of accessible， affordable foods has not reached a consensus on the root causes of food deserts， several factors are regularly recognised. Urban areas lacking access to fresh foods are generally divided by racial and economic lines. Diets rich in more nutritious foods cost around $1.50 more per day. For individuals and families living paycheck to paycheck， this cost difference can significantly impact their food choices. For people living in the countryside， they must travel many miles to the nearest store； a lack of access to a vehicle and limited or nonexistent public transportation contribute to food accessibility challenges.
Lack of business investment also plays a big part. When large food stores consider possible locations， low-income areas can appear to be “too risky” an investment. More economically depressed (萧条的) areas can increase a business’s insurance and security costs. Even public utility (设施) challenges， like poorly maintained roads， can prevent big companies from setting up shops in neighbourhoods that most need their goods and services， according to Harvard Business Review. These market conditions have a great effect on food accessibility for high-poverty regions.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要阐释了“食物荒漠”这一概念，并介绍了食物荒漠所造成的影响以及形成的原因。
(　　)8.What do we know about a food desert
A.Agriculture is impossible there.
B.People there are too poor to feed the family.
C.Many fast food restaurants are located there.
D.People there have limited access to healthy foods.
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Food deserts are generally classified as geographic regions where people have few or limited options to purchase nutritious and affordable foods”可知，处在食物荒漠地区的人们获取健康食物的途径有限。
D
(　　)9.What is a key reason for food deserts
A.Poor health care. B.A low income.
C.Business failure. D.Dangerous environment.
【解析】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Food deserts affect low-income areas far from supermarkets.Over 23 million Americans live in low-income areas…Over 11 million people living in these regions are themselves low-income.”可推知，“食物荒漠”出现的主要原因是低收入。
B
(　　)10.What does the underlined word “consensus” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A.A balanced diet. B.A general agreement.
C.A contributing factor. D.An inspiring achievement.
【解析】 词义猜测题。画线词所在的从句与主句之间是转折关系，且根据主句“several factors are regularly recognised”可推知，画线词所在句子意为“尽管关于缺乏可获得、负担得起的食物的现有文献对造成食物荒漠这个问题的根本原因尚未达成共识，但有几个因素已被普遍认可。”consensus意为“共识”，与a general agreement意思相近。
B
(　　)11.What are the last two paragraphs mainly about
A.The causes of food deserts.
B.Ways to make food choices.
C.The problems with transportation.
D.Principles of business investment.
【解析】 段落大意题。根据第三段中的“While the existing literature on the lack of accessible， affordable foods has not reached a consensus on the root causes of food deserts， several factors are regularly recognised.”及最后一段中的“Lack of business investment also plays a big part.”可知，最后两段主要讲的是“食物荒漠”的形成原因。
