资源描述
Making the news李仕才一、阅读理解。When people argue about whether coffee is good for health, theyre usually thinking of the health of the coffee drinker. Is it good for your heart? Does it increase blood pressure? Does it help you concentrate? However, coffee affects the health of the human population in other ways, too.Traditionally, coffee bushes are planted under the canopy(树荫) of taller trees. However, more and more farmers in Latin America are deforesting the land to grow fullsun coffee. At first, this increases production because more coffee bushes can be planted if there arent any trees. With increased production come increased profits.Unfortunately, deforesting for coffee production immediately decreases the local wildlife habitat, because native birds nest and hide from predators(捕食者) on the tall trees and migrating birds rest there.Furthermore, in the long term, the fullsun method also damages the ecosystem because more chemical fertilizers and pesticides(杀虫剂) are needed to grow the coffee. The fertilizers and pesticides kill insects that eat coffee plants, and then the birds eat the poisoned insects and also die. The chemicals kill or sicken other animals as well, and can even enter the water that people will eventually drink.Fortunately, farmers in Central and South America are beginning to grow more coffee bushes in the shade. We can support these farmers by buying coffee with such labels as “shadegrown” and “birdfriendly”. Sure, these varieties might cost a little more. But were paying for the health of the birds, the land, ourselves, and the planet. I think its worth it.【解题导语】本文是一篇科普说明文,通过拉丁美洲的农民种植咖啡作物的事例说明了咖啡作物长在树下对生态系统的重要性。1Which opinion does the author agree with?APeople should buy fullsun coffee.BShadegrown coffee should be supported.CFarmers should change the places to grow coffee.DPesticides should be forbidden in coffee planting.B解析:细节理解题。根据第五段的第二句可知,作者支持农民种植对鸟类无害的长在树下的咖啡作物,故B项正确。2Compared with the traditional method, what advantage does the fullsun method have?AIt can protect the ecosystem.BIt can promote peoples health.CIt can provide more nests for birds.DIt can increase the production of coffee.D解析:细节理解题。根据第二段的最后两句可知,全阳光照射这种方法能提高咖啡豆的产量,增加利润,故D项正确。3How do farmers get more land to grow fullsun coffee?AThey cut down trees.BThey move to other countries.CThey turn grassland into farmland.DThey buy more land from other farmers.A解析:细节理解题。根据第二段的第二句可知,农民通过砍伐树林来种植全阳光照射的咖啡作物,故A项正确。4What can we learn from the passage?AIt is quite worthwhile to buy shadegrown coffee at any cost.BFarmers all have realized the importance of protecting the environment now.CSouth American farmers are taking action to plant coffee bushes in the traditional way.DThe fullsun method does good to the health of human beings in the long run.C解析:推理判断题。根据第五段的第一句并结合第二段的第一句可推知,中南美洲的农民意识到了咖啡作物长在树下的重要性,他们开始改变种植方法,选择传统的种植方法,故C项正确。二、单句语法填空1We must concentrate our effort on _ (find) ways to reduce costs.答案:findingconcentrate ones effort on . “集中精力”,on为介词,故填动名词finding。2They study hard _ (acquire) a good knowledge of English.答案:to acquire此处不定式在句中作目的状语。3Ill keep you _ (inform) of the progress made at any time.答案:informedkeep sb. informed of sth. “通知某人某事/使某人了解某事”。4It is difficult _ (assess) the effects of these changes.答案:to assessIt isadj.to do sth. “做某事是的”。5You can never depend on it _ he can arrive on time.答案:thatdepend on it that “指望/相信”。6Are you _ (accuse) me of lying to the headmaster?Im sure you did.答案:accusingaccuse sb. of (doing) sth. “指责/控告某人(做)某事”。本句是一般疑问句,谓语动词用了现在进行时。7All these gifts must be mailed immediately so as to _ (receive) in time for Christmas.答案:be receivedso as to do . “为了做”,gifts与receive之间为被动关系,故应填be received。8There are cases _ this rule does not work.答案:where若定语从句的先行词为抽象地点名词case, stage, point, position, condition等时,且定语从句中缺少地点状语,应用where引导定语从句。9He left the classroom without the _ (approve) of the teacher.答案:approval由空前的“the”和空后的“of”可知,设空处应填名词形式,即approval。10People demanded that the injured _ (take) to hospital at once.答案:(should) be takendemand意为“要求”,后跟宾语从句时,从句应用虚拟语气,谓语动词用“should动词原形”,should可以省略。主语the injured与动词take之间是被动关系,故用被动语态。三、完形填空。阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可能填入空白处的最佳选项。That was a sunny day.My father and I were on the way _1_ my uncles home.People on the street were walking leisurely and chatting _2_ ,while my father was walking in a hurry.I tried my best to _3_ him.But I was still left behind.I could not understand why he _4_ so fast.Due to the fast speed,I lost my _5_ and was completely with sweat.Somehow,I began to be angry at him.He always did not think about my_6_.“Why do you walk so fast?
