Well，a few short fries in a bag are okay，it seems.So, now that you realize the enormous size and value of the potato crop, you can understand why most people agree that this part of the food industry is no “small potatoes”【语篇解读】本文介绍了土豆被引进美国的历史及炸薯条在美国食物产业中举足轻重的地位。8Potatoes in North America came directly from AChileBEuropeCEcuadorDthe Andes MountainsB考查细节理解。根据文中第一段最后一句“Early Spanish and English explorers shipped potatoes to Europe，and they found their way to North America in the early 1600s.”可知，北美最早的土豆来自欧洲。故选B项。9Why does the company pay special attention to the way the fries are prepared?ABecause selling fries is a big business.BBecause fries are not easy to prepare at all.CBecause Americans are particular about fries.DBecause the government has a strict rule for that.A考查推理判断。根据第二段的“One fastfood chain alone sells more than $1 billion worth of fries each year.No wonder，then, that the company pays particular attention to the way its fries are prepared.”可知，在美国，炸薯条是个很大的行业，所以会被特殊关注。故选A项。10In the last paragraph, the writer mainly wants to say Asmall potatoes cannot be used for friesBpotatoes are really important for AmericansCeating in America is the very first thingDfries are really important for food industryD考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的内容“this part of the food industry is no small potatoes”可知，在美国，炸薯条在食品产业中不是“小土豆”(无足轻重的东西)，由此可推测，炸薯条在食品产业中占有重要的地位。故选D项。干扰项分析本题学生易误选B项，本文首先介绍了土豆被引入美国，且炸薯条带来了强大商业利润，但在最后一段中，根据关键信息“realize the enormous size and value of the potato crop”及“this part of the food industry is nosmall potatoes”可知，本段重点强调炸薯条在食品产业中的重要地位，而不是土豆对美国人的重要性，故排除B项。11What is the main idea of this passage?AThe average American eats 50 pounds of potatoes a year.BFrench fries are made from potatoes.CPotatoes are a key vegetable in America.DThe various terms for potatoes have a long history.C考查主旨大意。根据全文内容可知，在美国，土豆可以有多种吃法，尤其是炸薯条，深受人们的欢迎，也因此带来了强大的商业利润，在食品产业中占有重要地位。因此，本文的主旨是，在美国土豆是很重要的蔬菜。故选C项。 【导学号：44040158】D(2017郑州市高三二次质检)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.【语篇解读】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。12Which 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考查细节理解。根据第五段的第二句“We can support these farmers by buying coffee with such labels asshadegrownand birdfriendly”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。13Compared 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考查细节理解。根据第二段的最后两句“At first，this increases production because more coffee bushes can be planted if there arent any trees.With increased production come increased profits.”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。14How 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考查细节理解。 根据第二段的第二句“However，more and more farmers in Latin America are deforesting the land to grow fullsun coffee.”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。15What 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考查推理判断。根据第五段的第一句“Fortunately，farmers in Central and South America are beginning to grow more coffee bushes in the shade.”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。干扰项分析A项与第五段的后四句内容不符；根据第五段的第一句可知，中南美洲的农民意识到了把咖啡作物种植在树下对环境保护的重要性，并不是所有的农民都意识到了，故B项错误；根据第四段的最后一句可知，D项错误。.阅读七选五(2017东北三校二模)Top Ways to Spend the Holiday Season with PetsTaking a nap is a great way to refresh during the holidays, and a nap with your dog or cat (or both) is an excellent bonding opportunity.Holiday time is here.The decorating, the shopping, the cooking, the cleaning, the wrapping. 1 In the seasons craziness, our furry family members tend to get ignored or overstimulated(过度刺激的) 2 But they dont have to: be sure to pay attention and give them a break from the activity when they need it and add them to the fun when they dont.Rest time.If your pet seems stressed, have a safe place for him away from activity.Cats should have a quiet, cozy spot to sleep with food, water, and their little box. 3 Be sure to have a soft area for sleep, a toy or two, water, and some food.But you might need a nap, too, to refresh for holiday festivities.So use this time to take one together. 4 Many Christmas tree farms welcome pets on a leash(皮带)Your pet will just love being with you outdoors while you share one
