，垂直農(nóng)業(yè)需要額外的光源。由此可知，光源問題是實現(xiàn)垂直農(nóng)業(yè)的一大挑戰(zhàn)。故選C項。15．D解析：標題歸納題。通讀全文并根據(jù)第一段最后一句和最后一段可知，作者通過說明傳統(tǒng)農(nóng)業(yè)所提供的食物滿足不了日益增長的人口的需求，提出需要創(chuàng)造現(xiàn)代垂直農(nóng)業(yè)來解決這個問題。全文都是圍繞著未來的垂直農(nóng)業(yè)展開的，故D項(未來的農(nóng)業(yè))最適合作文章標題。第二節(jié)【解題導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇說明文，主要介紹了培養(yǎng)創(chuàng)造力的一些方法。16．A解析：根據(jù)空后的“butmorelikesomethingwhich...conditionsforit”可知，空處和后面的句子構(gòu)成一個“not...but...”句型。故選A項。17．E解析：由空前一句“Limityourselectionoftoolstoonlythemostvital.”可知，E項符合語境，承接上文。故選E項。18．D解析：空前一句“Learnhowtoberesourceful.”中的“resourceful”和D項中的“Resourcefulness”相呼應(yīng)。故選D項。19．F解析：根據(jù)該段的主題句“Don’tlistentofeedback(反饋)andkeepfollowingyourownpath.”并結(jié)合空前一句“Otherswillunconsciouslypushyouinadirectionthattheyseeasthebest.”可知，其他人的反饋意圖是好的，但會傷害你的創(chuàng)造力。故選F項。20．B解析：根據(jù)文章的結(jié)構(gòu)和空處所在的位置可知，空處為該段的主題句。本段主要講的是有一個固定的程序?qū)嶋H上不是一個壞主意。故選B項。閱讀提速練(二)(建議用時：40分鐘)閱讀理解(共兩節(jié)，滿分40分)第一節(jié)(共15小題；每小題2分，滿分30分)閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C和D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。A(2019·唐山質(zhì)量檢測)TheUK’sBestThemeParksDraytonManorThemePark,StaffordshireThenewTamarinTrailtakesadventurersthroughbeautifulgardens,allowingkidsandadultstocomeface-to-facewithatroopofmonkeys.TheparkisalsohometoEurope’sonlyThomasLand,whichlastyearunderwenta￡2.5mexpansion,includingnewrides.Therearethrillingrides,includingthestand-uprollercoaster,Shockwave,andthe54-metredroptower,Apocalypse.Adultsfrom￡15,childrenfrom￡10(under-2sfree)．ThorpePark,SurreyAllaboardDerrenBrown’sGhostTrainwhichopenedinJuly2016.This10－15-minutetrainjourneyincludesexcitinglive-actionperformances,4Dspecialeffectsandsoon.Alsonewis“I’maCelebrity...Maze(迷宮)”，andtherearesomeofthehighestandfastestridesinEuropeheretoo.Adultsfrom￡28,childrenfrom￡24(under-3sfree)．WarwickCastle,WarwickshireAlthoughnotofficiallyathemepark,thismedievalcastleoffershistory,magic,mythandadventuretosuitallages,andisnowhometotheUK’sfirstfullyinteractiveandmulti-sensoryHorribleHistoriesMaze,givingvisitorsafascinatingexperienceofgettinglostintime.FromJuly,youcansleepoverinthenewriversideMiddleAges-themedwoodlandcottagesofKnight’sVillage.From￡31(under-3sfree)．ChessingtonWorldofAdventures,SurreyFollowingthePandamoniumliveshowin2016,lastyearsawTheGruffaloRiverRideAdventureopenatChessington,whichhasover40ridesandattractions.RidesincludeDragonFalls,SafariSkyway,ToadiesCrazyCarsandRunawayTrain.From￡29(under-3sfree)．1．Whereareanimal-lovingchildrenprobablyadvisedtogo?A．WarwickCastle.B．ThorpePark.C．DraytonManorThemePark.D．ChessingtonWorldofAdventures.2．Howmuchshouldacouplewiththeirtwo-year-oldsonpayatleastinThorpePark?A．￡56.B．￡52.C．￡40.D．￡30.3．Whatdotheparkshaveincommon?A．Childrenshouldbeaccompaniedbyadults.B．Theyhaveallbeenrebuiltbeforereopening.C．Theyallofferexcitingridesintheparks.D．Certainkidshavefreeentrytotheparks.B(2019·長沙四校高考模擬)JoshMorrison,17,dreamedofraising$100，000tobuildahomeforalow-incomefamily.Afteryearsofhardwork,hisdreamhascometrue.Thehouseisnowintheearlystagesofbuilding.Sixyearsago,JoshandhisdadwentintoaHabitatforHumanityRestore,ahomeimprovementstoreanddonationcenterrunbythenonprofitorganization.Theyweretheretobuyasink.Josh,then11,alsonoticedacollectionofpennies.“Iinstantlyfelttheurgetohelpoutwiththat，”hesaid.Joshsetafundraising(籌款)deadlineoffouryears.Manypeopledoubtedwhetherhecouldreachhisgoalof$100，000,butitdidn’tshakehisfaith.Heraisedmoneyathisschoolandothernearbyschools.Hecollectedmoneyfromneighbors,gotpublicityfromlocalnewspapers,andplacedcansinstoressothatpeoplecoulddonateextrachange.Josh’sfundraisingeffortsbegantoproduceresults.Still,therewerechallenges.Fourmonthsbeforehisdeadline,hewas$30，000short.HedecidedtoholdaFamilyFunFairandSpaghettiDinnereventinUxbridge,whichisintheprovinceofOntario.Theeventraised$19，000.“Ididn’tcarehowlongittookme，”Joshsaid.“Iwouldraise$100，000.”Withthreeweeksleft,acompanycalledJosh’shouse,offeringtodonate$18，000.Eventually,Joshreachedatotalof$124，000beforehisdeadline.“The__momentum__just__kept__going,__andwedecidedtodomore，”hesaid.“Josh’sPennyHouse”isbeingbuiltbyHabitatforHumanityRestoreinthecityofOshawa,alongwith24newtownhouses.Joshhashelpedwithsomeoftheconstruction,ashaveothervolunteers.Hewillchoosethefamilythatmovesintotheunit.Nextyear,the17-year-oldwillheadtocollegeinBritishColumbia,Canada’swesternmostprovince.Asa11-year-oldkidwhenstartingfundraising,Joshwasabletosendapowerfulmessageacrosstheworld.Nomatterhowoldyouare,ifyouhaveadreamandarewillingtodoanythingtoachieveit,itcancometrue.4．WhichwordcanbestdescribeJoshMorrisoninparagraph2?A．Straightforward.
