【語篇解讀】文章介紹了一個公司研發(fā)出了一種能使農(nóng)產(chǎn)品保存得更好，從而為農(nóng)民謀利的技術(shù)。21．A推理判斷題。由第二段的“ObadiahKisaingu,afarmerinMasii,estimates40%ofthevillage'smangocropislosttospoilage.Butasimplecoatingcouldchangethat.Acompany,SmartTech,hascreatedaproductthatdoublestheshelflifeoffreshproduce,enablingfarmerslikeKisaingutoaccessfar-off,largermarkets.”可知，作物易腐爛，作者提到肯尼

亞的小農(nóng)場主是為了強調(diào)他們對保存農(nóng)產(chǎn)品的需要。故選A

項。22．A推理判斷題。由最后一段的“‘SmartTechhashugepotentialtoturnpoorfarmersinAfricaintocommercialfarmers，’saysRogers.‘Thatmeansmoremoneyinpockets,andmorefoodinstomachs.’”可知，JamesRogers希望為農(nóng)民謀利。故選A項。23．D推理判斷題?？v觀全文可知，文章主要講述了一種能使

農(nóng)產(chǎn)品保存得更好、從而為農(nóng)民謀利的技術(shù)。由此推知，這

篇文章的主要目的是介紹一項技術(shù)。故選D項。BPaneraBreadhasannouncedthatitwillupdateitsmenuswithaseriesofclimate-friendlyfooddesignedbytheWorldResourcesInstitute(WRI)thathelpsinformconsumersabouthowtheirfoodchoicesaffectglobalclimatechange.The“CoolFoodMeals”sticker(標簽)willappearonPaneraBread'smenutoshowthatthecarbondioxideusedtocreatetheingredients(成分)islowenoughtoagreewiththeresearchpublishedbytheWRI,whichmatchesagricultureandfood-relatedemissions(排放)withthereductioninCO2emissionsneededtomeettheParisAgreementonclimatechange.Peoplearebecomingmoreawareofclimatechangeanditseffects,butmanystilldon'tknowwhattheycandoaboutit.CoolFoodMealshelpspeopleunderstandthattakingactionisassimpleaswhatweeat.Abusyparentoracollegestudent—almostanyone—cannowgointoPaneraandbychoosingCoolFoodMeals,theyarepartofagrowinggroupofpeoplewhoarebuildingaclimate-friendlylifestyle.Insomeways,moreconsumersarelookingformoreclimate-friendlyfoodaccordingtoasmallsurveyof1，000Americansaged18－80.69%ofthosesurveyedsaiditwasimportanttothemthattheirfoodshouldbeproducedinasustainablemanner.68%ofparticipantssaidtheytriedtostayawayfromcarbohydrates(碳水化合物)andsugar.ThroughWRI'sCoolFoodsInitiative(倡議),variouscitiesanduniversitieshavesignedontotheCoolFoodsPledge(宣言)totryandturncivilfoodservicebodiesintoonesthatreducetheamountofCO2inthesupplychain.AccordingtoWRI,firstdatashowsthatCoolFoodPledgemembershavealreadyreducedtheirfood-relatedemissionsby3%,whichisbeyondthecoursetoreachthereductionaimsinlinewiththeParisAgreement.(

【語篇解讀】文章主要介紹了人們通過選擇氣候友好型食品從而減少二氧化碳的排放量，進而達到保護環(huán)境的目的。24．D推理判斷題。由第一段的“PaneraBreadhasannouncedthatitwillupdateitsmenuswithaseriesofclimate-friendlyfooddesignedbytheWorldResourcesInstitute(WRI)thatD

helpsinformconsumersabouthowtheirfoodchoicesaffectglobalclimatechange.”可知，第一段主要介紹了PaneraBread推出了一系列氣候友好型食品，根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容可知，

后文介紹的是人們通過選擇氣候友好型食品，從而減少二氧’

化碳的排放量，進而達到保護環(huán)境的目的。由此可推斷出，

文章第一段是通過PaneraBread更新菜單的例子來提出文章

的主題。故選D項。25．A細節(jié)理解題。由第三段的“CoolFoodMealshelpspeopleunderstandthattakingactionisassimpleaswhatweeat.Abusyparentoracollegestudent—almostanyone—cannowgointoPaneraandbychoosingCoolFoodMeals,theyarepartofagrowinggroupofpeoplewhoarebuildingaclimate-friendlylifestyle.”可知，人們可以通過選擇CoolFoodMeals，建立一個氣候友好型的生活方式。故選A項。26．A推理判斷題。由倒數(shù)第三段的“Insomeways,moreconsumersarelookingformoreclimate-friendlyfoodaccordingtoasmallsurveyof1，000Americansaged18－80.69%ofthosesurveyedsaiditwasimportanttothemthattheirfoodshouldbeproducedinasustainablemanner.68%ofparticipantssaidtheytriedtostayawayfromcarbohydrates(

碳水化合物)andsugar.”可推斷出，調(diào)查中大多數(shù)人對氣候

友好型的食品的態(tài)度是支持的。故選A項。27．D推理判斷題。由全文內(nèi)容可知，文章主要介紹了人們通

過選擇氣候友好型食品，從而減少二氧化碳的排放量，進而

達到保護環(huán)境的目的。由此可知，文章與環(huán)境保護相關(guān)，可

能會出現(xiàn)在報紙的環(huán)境版面。故選D項。CManyyoungpeoplearegettingcreativewhenitcomestoincorporating(使并入)theirpersonalinterestsintotheirprofessions.YiChengusedtobeanengineeratastate-ownedcompany.In2013,hechangedhiscareerpathandbecameascenario(場景)designerofescaperoomgames,whereonehastofindsecretcluesandpasswordswithinphysicalspacesinordertogainentryintothenextroom.ItisanewentertainmentactivityforthrillseekersinChinaandhasattractedalargenumberofyoungconsumers.Later,hefoundedhisownescaperoomcompany—SecondWorld.Now,thebrandhaseightsitesnationwidewithstablerevenue(收益).Hisfavouritechallengeistodesigndifferentsuspenseful(懸疑的)scenesandpasswordsforentrytothevarioussecretrooms.DuringtheMayDayholidaybreak,spendingonnewtypesofentertainmentincreasedrapidly.Bookingvolumes(量)forescaperoomgamesinShanghaisurged264percentoverthepre-holidaylevel,accordingtoMeituanDianping,anonlineconsumptionserviceprovider.Inrecentyears,thoseborninthe1980sand1990shavetakenup90percentofthenewjobsinChina'semergingservicessector.ThedevelopmentoftheInterneteconomy,whichreferstoaneconomythatisbasedontheuseofdigitaltechnologiestoconductbusinessviatheWorldWideWeb,isalsobroadeningtheambitionsandhorizonsofmanyyoungentrepreneurs(創(chuàng)業(yè)者)inChina.OnesuchentrepreneurisKeXuan,whoturnedherpassionfordesignintoacareer.NoticingtheriseofhanfuamongyoungChinesewomen,shetookaclasscentredaroundhanfuhairstyles,make-upandclothing,andbecameafull-timestylistin2018—anindustryworthover$141million(1.09billionyuan).

【語篇解讀】本文介紹了新興職業(yè)讓年輕人的就業(yè)更加多元化。28．C細節(jié)理解題。第一段為本文的主題段落，第一句為主題

句：許多年輕人在將個人興趣融入他們的職業(yè)方面越來越有

創(chuàng)造力，下文舉例說明將個人興趣發(fā)展為自己職業(yè)的成功案

例。29．A詞義猜測題。由下文的“264percentoverthepre-holidaylevel”可知，比假日前增長了264%，所以surge的意思是“飆

升”。30．C細節(jié)理解題。由倒數(shù)第二段中的“Internet-basedrecruitingplatformMeituanDianpingattributesthisrisetotheincreaseddemandforpersonalization.”可知，美團點評

將這一增長歸因于個性化需求的增加。第二節(jié)(共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分)

【語篇解讀】文章主要介紹了玉米種植的優(yōu)勢和劣勢。31．G上文“CornisthemostdominantagriculturalproductintheU.S.,andperhapstheworld.”說明填空處與玉米有關(guān)。

下文“Butwhentheircropsfailed,thesettlersoftheNewWorlddecidedtomixcornintotheiragriculturalefforts”說

明一開始新大陸定居者并不歡迎玉米。G選項“OriginallygrowninCentralAmerica,Europeanexplorersinitiallyavoidedit.”符合語境。故選G項。32．B上文“．..thistallgrassnowcovers90millionacresoflandinAmericaaloneandaccountsforsome10%oftotalcropproductionglobally.”說明玉米的主導(dǎo)地位，下文“Oneisthatgrowingcorngeneratesfarmorecaloriesperunitoflandthannearlyanyothercrop.Anotherkeyfactorwasthatmuchmoreammoniumnitrate(硝酸銨),akindofexplosive,wasleftafterWorldWarⅡ.”說明原因。故B選項“Manyreasonsaccountforthedominanceofcorn.”符合語境。故選B項。33．C下文“Wecaneatit,processitintosyrup,fuelourcarswithitandfeedittoouranimals.”說明玉米可以有不同用

途。C選項“Additionally,cornhasincrediblymanydifferentuses.”承接下文。故選C項。34．E下文“Ethanolhasalow‘energy-returned-on-energy-invested’ratio,meaningwemustputalargeamountofenergyintoproducingit.Anindirectnegativeeffectofthedominanceofcornhasbeenitshelpinfuelingexplosivegrowthinthelivestockindustry.”說明玉米生產(chǎn)乙醇，喂養(yǎng)

動物都會對環(huán)境產(chǎn)生負面影響。E選項“Unfortunately,bothusescausegreatdamagetotheenvironment.”符合語境。故

選E項。35．D下文“Traditionalmonoculturefarming,whichmeansgrowingonetypeofcropcontinuously,worsenssoilandoftenleadstoharmfulrun-offintostreamsandrivers.”說明只種植

玉米也不環(huán)保。D選項“Evenjustgrowingcornisfarfromenvironmentallyfriendly.”符合語境。故選D項。第三部分語言知識運用(共兩節(jié)，滿分45分)第一節(jié)(共20小題；每小題1.5分，滿分30分)
