I had no desire to drive up the winding mountain road to my daughter Carolyns house. But she had insisted that I come to see something at the top of the mountain.So here I was, although unwilling to make the two-hour journey through fog and rain. After lunch, my daughter requested me to drive her to Barage. After a ten-minute drive，we parked the car and got out. We walked along a path that was thick with old pine needles. Huge black green evergreens towered over us. Gradually the peace and silence of the place began to fill my mind. Then we turned a corner and stoppedand I gasped in amazement.From the top of the mountain to the slopes and valleys, were rivers of daffodils(水仙) in full bloom. A sea of amazing colors, like a carpet before us. It looked as though the sun had tipped over and spilled gold down the mountainside. At the center hung a waterfall of purple hyacinths. Here and there were breathtaking tulips.A riot of questions filled my mind. Who created such beauty? Why? How?As we approached the home. We saw a sign that read “Answers to the Questions I Know You Are Asking.” The first answer was: “One WomanTwo Hands, Two Feet, and Very Little Brain.” The second was: “One at a Time.” The third: “Started in 1958.”I was so moved by what we had seen. “She changed the world,” I said, not getting over the shock. “One bulb(球茎) at the time. She started almost 40 years ago, probably just the beginning of an idea, but she kept at it.”“Imagine,” I added, “if I had a vision and worked at it，just a little hit every day, what might I have accomplished?”Carolyn looked sideways at me, smiling. “Start tomorrow,” she said,“Better yet, start today.”24.Why did the author decide to visit her daughter？A.

A Valuable Lesson From a WomanCEvery year, hundreds of millions of Monarch Butterflies (黑脉金斑蝶) from Canada and the United States journey as far as 2, 500 miles to the forests of Michoacan, Mexico, a place which has the worlds largest insect migration. Its such a breathtaking sight, but as always, human greed is threatening to destroy it.The Monarch Butterflies start to arrive in Michoacan in late October to make their winter home in the trees high up in the mountains of the natural reserve. Once there, they gather together in large masses. These masses often become so heavy that they cause tree branches to bend or even break. But theres a purpose of all these massing it allows the butterflies to survive in the low nighttime temperatures at these high altitudes.The Michoacan Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary (保护区) is most impressive during the months of February and March, just before the winged insects begin their long journey home. Mexicos Butterfly Forest is a shelter protected by law, and one of the countrys most popular sights, but that hasnt stopped people from slowly but steadily destroying it.Illegal woodcutting in the heart of the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve has been a longstanding problem, but criminals are rarely brought to justice. They are often set free after paying some money.Just last month, an even greater threat rose in Michoacans butterfly home. The countrys largest mining corporation gained the right to reopen an old mine in the heart of the monarch reserve. Experts believe that if the mine is reopened, it will likely spell the end of this magical place.And as if all this wasnt bad enough, the increasing use of herbicides (除草剂) in the American corn belt has led to the decrease of a plant which is essential to the monarchs development from egg into butterfly.28. When do the Monarch Butterflies begin to fly back to Canada?A. In January. B. After March. C. In October. D. In December.29. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. The weather.

It cost the government a lot. D. It has saved many butterflies. 31. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?A. Monarch Butterflies have a worrying future. B. America has many mines waiting for exploration.C. Monarch Butterflies live in the centre of an old mine.D. The use of herbicides will let Monarch Butterflies lay fewer eggs.DIn the near future, IoT (Internet of Things) will drive huge innovation (革新) in the way our food is grown. Plants will have a “voice”, not a human voice, but a voice based on data that can tell people, computers, and machines when, for example, they are thirsty, or need more sun, medicine, etc.Take vertical (垂直的) farms, for example. Farming is moving indoors where the growth of plants can be monitored and controlled. The facilities are built vertically, so growing areas can be put in piles. This greatly reduces the amount of land needed for farming.From an IoT point of view, vertical farms are connected in two ways. First, small sensors (传感器) in the soil or connected to plants tell a control system exactly how much light, water, and nutrients are needed to grow the healthiest crops. Sensors will also tell vertical farmers when crops are nearing their peak for harvesting at just the right time to make sure its still fresh when it reaches its final destination.Second, vertical farms will be connected to other networks and information systems, including databases that track local demand. For example, local restaurants may input when they need fresh food supplies. And vertical farmers could get that information so they know which crops to grow in what quantities. This type of IoT system would have been unimaginable a generation ago.Today, vertical farms are being experimented. Yet, the numbers point to a bright future for the industry, especially as the worlds population continues to grow. For example, Green Sense Farms in Chicago is able to harvest crops 26 times a year using 85 percent less energy, one-tenth the water, and no pesticides. A side benefit of lower energy use is lower CO2 output of two tons per month, with the added benefit of creating 46 pounds of oxygen every day.32. What is the main idea of the text?A. Voice machines help plants speak up.B. Farmers are all turning to vertical farming.C. IoT has brought great innovation to our future life.D. Vertical farms driven by IoT are a future for agriculture.33. How do sensors attached to plants work?A. By recording farmers harvesting crops.B. By monitoring farmers working their fields.C. By analyzing information to preserve crops.D. By passing information on to a control system.34. According to Paragraph 4, the IoT system can help _.A. expand the output of crops B. match supply with demandC. determine the needs of farmers D. move restaurants onto farms35. What is the authors attitude towards the future of vertical farming?A. Negative. B. Indifferent. C. Optimistic. D. Doubtful.第二节：（共5小题；每小题2分, 满分10分）根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Ways to be safe in school School safety issues involve more than violence.
