21、   Upright farming is a hugely promising agricultural technique that aims to produce more food to meet the growing population on our limited planet. Techniques include growing in vertical frames (垂向框架) or even in high-rise farms while moving farms into urban areas, and producing nutritious crops without topsoil.

Vertical farmers plant crops in nutrient-rich water, so plants can be raised without soil. They also grow plants using water from fish tanks, or using nutrient water mist systems that reduce water use by more than 90 per cent, which was a technique developed by NASA as a way for astronauts to grow in space and feed themselves without soil while preserving precious water supplies. All of these soil-less growing techniques use less or no chemicals, and recycle water with less waste. Plants can be sown and harvested year-round, free from bad weather conditions such as drought or flooding.

“This is the farming of the future," said Paul Myers, co-founder of vertical farming enterprise Farm Urban. "Chemical-free and moving from the traditional horse and tractor agriculture that is steadily destroying the planet to a more sustainable approach."

The global vertical farming market is expected to be six times bigger in 2026 than it is today. This is fueled in part by rising demand for organic, chemical-free foods, but also by countries looking to increase their food security and cut down on imports — the UK for example uses more than 70 per cent of its land mass for agriculture but imports more than half of its food.

As the vertical farming industry expands, it is worth noting that it has limitations — it only works for some crops, and urban locations can be expensive.

【1】Where will upright farming be popular in the future?

A．In cities.

B．In plains.

C．In deserts.

D．In the countryside.

【2】What do the techniques mentioned in paragraph 2 have in common?

A．Waste-free.

B．Nutrient-rich.

C．Soil-saving.

D．Waterproof.

【3】Why is upright farming promising?

A．The trade routes are not secure.

B．Organic food is increasingly popular.

C．The economic benefit is substantial.

D．Imports are becoming more difficult.

【4】What can be the best title for the text?

A．Upright Farming： How To Save Soil And Water

B．Upright Farming: What To Plant In The New Way

C．Vertical Farming: Raising Agriculture’s Potential

D．Vertical Farming： Lowering Environmental Impact

22、   Lawrence Ferlinghetti, the poet, publisher, painter, social activist and bookstore owner, has been San Francisco’ honored poet. He turns 100 this month, and the city is making preparations to celebrate him in style. Readings and performances and an open house will take place at City Lights, the sacred bookstore he co-founded in 1953.

On March 24, 1919, Lawrence Felinghetti was born in Yonkers, New York. After spending his early childhood in France, he received his BA from the University of North Carolina, an MA from Columbia University, and a PhD from the Sorbonne.

He is the author of more than thirty books of poetry, including Poetry as Insurgent Art; A Coney Island of Mind. He has translated the works of a number of poets, including Nicanor Parra, Jacques Prevert, and Pier Paolo Pasolini. In addition to poetry, he is also the author of more than eight plays and three novels. Including Little Boy: A Novel, Love in the Days of Rage and Her.

In 1953, Ferlinghetti and Peter Martin opened the City Lights bookstore in San Francisco, California. It became a nerve center for the Beats and other writers. Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac and other writers from that era were Easterners who dropped into San Francisco for a spell. In 2001 it was made an official historic landmark. Now City Lights is almost certainly the best bookstore in the United States. It’s filled with serious world literature of all kinds.

If City Lights is a San Francisco institution, Ferlinghetti himself is as much of one. He has loomed over the city’s literary life. As a poet, he’s never been a critical favorite. But his flexible and plain-spoken and often powerful work — he has published more than 50 volumes — has found a wide audience. His collection “A Coney Island of the Mind” has sold more than 1 million copies, making it one of the best-selling American poetry books ever published.

【1】What can we learn about Ferlinghetti from Paragraph 2?

A.He had a happy childhood. B.He received normal education.

C.He had a gift for writing novels. D.He had written lots of poetry.

【2】Which of the following best describes Ferlinghetti according to Paragraph 3?

A.Flexible. B.Optimistic. C.Outspoken. D.Productive

【3】What does a nerve center in the 4th paragraph probably mean？

A.a nervous center B.a new spot C.a control center D.a popular spot

【4】What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?

A.To speak highly of a great poet. B.To introduce some English poetry.

C.To promote values of City Lights. D.To celebrate the birthday of Ferlinghetti.

23、Eradajere Oleita thinks she may have a partial solution for two of the country’s persistent problems: garbage and poverty. It’s called the Chip Bag Project. The 26-year-old student and environmentalist from Detroit is asking a favor of local snack lovers: Rather than throw your empty chip bags into the trash, donate them so she can turn them into sleeping bags for the homeless.

Chip eaters drop off their empty bags from Doritos, Lay’s, and other favorites at two locations in Detroit: a print shop and a clothing store, where Oleita and her volunteer helpers collect them. After they clean the chip bags in soapy hot water, they slice them open, lay them flat, and iron them together. They use liners (活衬里) from old coats to line the insides.

It takes about four hours to sew a sleeping bag, and each takes around 150 to 300 chip bags, depending on whether they’re single-serve or family size. The result is a sleeping bag that is “waterproof, lightweight, and portable,” Oleita told the Detroit News.

Since its start in 2020, the Chip Bag Project has collected more than 800,000 chip bags and it created 110 sleeping bags last December.

Sure, it would be simpler to raise the money to buy new sleeping bags. But that’s only half the goal for Oleita — whose family moved to the United States from Nigeria a decade ago with the hope of attaining a better life — and her fellow volunteers. “We are devoted to making an impact not only socially, but environmentally,” she says.

And, of course, there’s the symbolism of saving bags that would otherwise land in the trash and using them to help the homeless. It’s a powerful reminder that environmental injustice and poverty are often closely related. As Oleita told hourdetroit.com: “I think it’s time to show connections between all of these issues.”

【1】What is paragraph 2 mainly about?

A．The final goal of Chip Bag Project.

B．The basic rules of Chip Bag Project.

C．The main work of Chip Bag Project.

D．The significance of Chip Bag Project.

【2】What do we know about the sleeping bag made by Chip Bag Project?

A．Its size is adjustable.

B．It is easy to carry around.

C．It has the function of heating.

D．It is only made of old coats.

【3】Which of the following statements does Oleita probably agree with?

A．Making sleeping bags is easier than buying new ones.

B．Poverty and environmental problems go hand in hand.

C．Making sleeping bags is the best way to help the homeless.

D．Environmental problems have little impact on the homeless.

【4】Which of the following best describes Oleita?

A．Caring and creative.

B．Brave and optimistic.

C．Honest and determined.

D．Talented and easy-going.

26、阅读下面材料，报据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

I was angry about my father in the first year of college, because he didn’t care about my feelings all.

One day I had a serious quarrel with him. I was fed up with his direction and correction. How could he interfere with my life and my study plans? How could he understand the importance of my university activities? The only thing that he cared about was my academic performance! He didn’t understand my world and I didn’t understand his, either.

I stormed out and sighed all the way to school. Suddenly I realized that I didn’t have the assignment that was due: a thought card. This class was taught by Dr. Sidney B. Simon. The thought card was the admission ticket to his class. He would return them to us with his comment.

My first thought card read, “All that glitters(发光) is not gold.” He commented, “What does this quote mean to you? Is it significant?” Obviously, he was taking it seriously. I surely didn’t want to reveal myself to him.

The week progressed. Dr. Simon’s class was quite brilliant. He challenged us to think and come up with our own responses. But I had no handling strategies to deal with it.

The second Tuesday came. I wrote on my card, “The most important thing in communication is to hear what isn’t being said.” The next day the card came back: “You seem to need a listener. Is this important to your life?” I couldn’t remember a teacher caring personally about me since primary school.

With all these memories filling my mind, I raced to class. Just outside tho door, I took a card and wrote, “I have the most terrible Dad of the world!” Then I dashed in. Looking up at me, he reached out for the card, and I took my seat. The moment I sat down, I felt terrible. I didn’t mean to let that out. That night I had difficiulty sleeping. What if he contacted my dad?

注意：

1.续写词数应为150左右：

On Wednesday morning I came to class with mixed feelings.
