2019-2020年高考英語一輪總復(fù)習(xí) 課時作業(yè)12 Healthy eating 新人教版.閱讀理解(xx湖北省重點中學(xué)聯(lián)考)“Eat local.” Its one way to reduce human effect on the planet. Eating local means to try to buy and consume foods that are grown in places close to home. However, most of the food sold at supermarkets is not locally grown or produced. Trucks and planes deliver these foods from hundreds or thousands of miles away. During the transportation, greenhouse gases are produced, causing global warming. So the shorter the distance your foods must travel, the less the harm is done to the environment.But how do you get local food if you live in a large city, hundreds of miles away from farms ? Environmental health scientist Dickson Despommier and his students came up with the idea of a “vertical(垂直的) farm”A vertical farm is a glasswalled structure that could be built as tall as a skyscraper. Since the garden is built upwards, rather than outwards, it requires much less space than an ordinary farm. The world is quickly running out of room for ordinary farming. Vertical farms could be a key to this situation. Despommier imagines a 30story building with a greenhouse on every floor. The walls of the building would be clear, to allow crops to get as much sunlight as possible. Depending on a citys water resources, Despommier thinks hydroponic(水培) farming is another method for the vertical farm which needs no soil to grow plants.Despommier says the hydroponic greenhouses would use a system that would use a citys waste water and fill it with nutrition to make the crops grow. If this method works, it would provide food to a city and save millions of tons of water.The idea of a vertical farm has attracted the attention of government officials around the world. Scott Stringer, a government official from New York City, thinks the city is suitable for the vertical farming. “Obviously we dont have much land left for us，” Stringer said, “But the sky is the limit in Manhattan.”Despommier admits that there is still a lot of work to do to make vertical farms a reality. “But I think vertical farming is an idea that can work in a big way.” he says.1Why are people advised to eat local?ABecause it means convenience to people.BBecause it can help people save a lot of money.CBecause local food has more nutrition.DBecause it is environmentally friendly.2Which is one of the vertical farms benefits when pared with ordinary farming?AIt produces healthier food.BIt does less harm to the cities.CIt consumes more energy of the city.DIt needs less space of the city.3By saying “the sky is the limit in Manhattan”， Stringer means _.Apeople can make full use of vertical space of ManhattanBthere is a limit for using empty land in ManhattanCthe height of buildings in Manhattan is limitedDManhattan has a great potential for development4What can we learn about the vertical farming in the passage?AIn a vertical farm, soil may not be needed to grow plants.BIt has solved the problem of the food shortage in a big way.CIt is a 30story building with a greenhouse on every floor.DCrops are mainly grown in the rainwater in a vertical farm.答案與解析這篇文章介紹了建議人們吃當(dāng)?shù)厥澄?，因為對環(huán)境有好處。1D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段最后一句So the shorter the distance your foods must travel, the less the harm is done to the environment. 可知人們被建議吃當(dāng)?shù)厥澄锏脑蚴菍Νh(huán)境有好處，故選D項。2D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段The idea of a vertical farm has attracted the attention of government officials around the world. Scott Stringer, a government official from New York City, thinks the city is suitable for the vertical farming. “Obviously we dont have much land left for us，” Stringer said, “But the sky is the limit in Manhattan.”可知優(yōu)點在于它需要城市中比較少的空間，故選D項。3A句意理解題。根據(jù)最后一段Despommier admits that there is still a lot of work to do to make vertical farms a reality. “But I think vertical farming is an idea that can work in a big way.” he says. 可知Stringer 的意思是人們應(yīng)該充分利用曼哈頓的垂直空間，故選A項。4A推理判斷題。第三段最后一句Despommier thinks hydroponic(水培的) farming is another method for the vertical farm which needs no soil to grow plants. 可知有些農(nóng)田不需要土壤來生長植物，故選A項。.完形填空One night, when I was eight, my mother gently asked me a question I would never forget. “Sweetie, my pany wants to _1_ me but needs me to work in Brazil. This is like your teacher telling you that youve done _2_ and allowing you to skip a grade(跳級), but youll have to _3_ your friends.

I had said “yes” but for the first time, I realized the _5_ decisions adults had to make.For almost four years, my mother would call us from Brazil every day. Every evening Id _6_ wait for the phone to ring and then tell her every detail of my day.
