The neighborhood is a workingclass community. People do not have very much money, and they have limited access to fresh food in markets.Over the past two years, the farm has attracted volunteers from the community like Marcy Clark. She schools her four children at home. On a recent day she brought them to Eco City Farms for a lesson. Her son Alston Clark thinks his experience is very valuable. “I like coming out here，” he says, “You know, you connect with the earth, where your food comes from. You appreciate the food a little bit more.”Margaret Morgan started Eco City Farms. She thinks of it as a place where people can learn to live healthier lives. “Growing food in a community brings people together，” she continues, “Every piece of what we do here is a demonstration to show people everything about how to have an ecofriendly community.” she says. From the Eco City Farms people come to know that they are not only growing food and raising chickens and bees, but improving the soil with compost (肥料) made from food waste.Eco City Farms is an experimental operation. The farm gets its power not from the local electricity networks, but from the sun with solar panels. In winter, the green houses use a geothermal (地热) system.Vegetables can be grown all year. So once a week, all winter long, neighbors like Chris Moss and her three children bike to the farm to pick up a share of the harvest.“I like eating the vegetables，” says fiveyearold Owen Moss. 1What is mainly talked about in the passage?AEco City Farms save a lot of energy.BEco City Farms are gaining popularity.CEco City Farms are influencing community life.DEco City Farms help the workingclass live better.2According to the passage, Eco City Farms are close to the following places EXCEPT _.Ashopping centersBcar repair shopsCfastfood restaurantsDworkingclass community3What is the authors attitude towards Eco City Farms?AEnthusiastic.

DEducation.B(2014江苏扬州第一学期检测)Frogs with deformities (畸形) continue to spread in the western United States, new research says. A parasite (寄生虫) called Ribeiroia infects several kinds of frogs when they are developing, causing deformities such as no legs or more legs than normal. These frogs are often unable to move and either die or quickly get eaten by other birds.Scientists already knew that the parasite was the reason for the frog deformities. They wanted to find out whether known hot spots of Ribeiroia populations in four western states had changed since they were last surveyed in 1999.So in 2010 Pieter Johnson, an expert at the University of Colorado, and his team gathered data of frogs and parasites in 48 wetlands in America. They found that the parasite infections were still common in frogs. “We found that, although the distribution of Ribeiroia across wetlands changed, there was little net effect on overall parasite spreading, with 31 percent of wetlands gaining the parasite and 27 percent losing the parasite，” Johnson said. “But what was most surprising was that the locations had changed greatly over the last decade.”For instance, ponds where scientists had found few deformed frogs in 1999 now had 30 percent or more frogs with deformed legs, he said. Likewise, former hot spots now had fewer of these frogs, according to their results.The Ribeiroia parasite has a complex life cycle, which begins with the snail, a creature common in many western US Wetlands. It first lives inside the snail and then goes to live in a tadpole (蝌蚪). It then enters the tadpoles tissue and the developing legs. Consequently, when the tadpole begins to transform into a frog, its “primary system of movement doesnt work it cant jump or swim，” Johnson said. “Thats when the birds” the parasites final host “come and eat the young frogs like popcorn.” The parasite then reproduces inside the birds. When the birds defecate (排泄), the parasite eggs will go out of the birds and make their way back into the snails.Though the Ribeiroia parasite occurs naturally in North America, human activities likely have something to do with its population, Johnson noted. For instance, the snails feed on algae (藻类). The polluted water from agriculture and industry into wetlands contains nutrients that improve the algae growth. With more snails in the wetlands, the parasites have more initial hosts to infect, Johnson noted.“I dont think this story is just about frogs，” Johnson said. The scientists did not specifically measure how many frog populations at the study sites had declined “though its quite high”. Overall, though, frog populations will fluctuate widely from year to year, said Erin Muths, a zoologist at the US Geological Survey in Fort Collins, Colorado. Those fluctuations are usually based on an unpredictable resource: water. For instance, sometimes ponds dry up, killing many frog eggs. “These changes make it difficult to tell whether we are looking at a real decline in frogs.” she said.“This distinction is important so that we can know frog populations that are really in trouble, rather than a population that is just having a bad year.”Thats also why the new research is solid. She said, “It has a longterm aspect and contributes to our understanding of frog decline.”5From the text we know that _.Athe frogs with more legs can move more quickly and jump higherBthe deformed frogs are now spreading all over the spotsCthe locations with deformed frogs have changed over the yearsDthere are more deformed frogs in the known hot spots6The underlined word “fluctuate” in the 8th paragraph probably means “_”Aboom BincreaseCremain Dchange7The right order for the life cycle of Ribeiroia parasites is _.athe parasites live in tadpolesbRibeiroia eggs go out with the birds defecationcthe parasites live in the snailsdthe parasites reproduce in the birds that eat deformed tadpolesAa, d, b, c Bb, a, d, cCc, a, d, b Dd, b, c, a8Which of the following is TRUE according to Pleter Johnson?AThe population of frogs is not really in trouble.BHuman activities may contribute to the increase of the parasites.CPolluted water kills more frogs than the parasites do.DFuture studies will be carried out to study the frogs decline.The environment单元检测(B卷自主选做).完形填空(2014皖南八校联考)We always want what we cannot have.

In January, Beijing saw only five days without smog. The rising PM2.5 readings terrified many people, and some health experts said that whenever the smog gets serious, hospitals receive more patients suffering acute respiratory (呼吸系统) and heart diseases.Later, news of polluted underground water in some provinces scared people who wondered whether the water they drink is safe.So the need to emphasize environmental protection while developing the economy is heard everywhere.Smog is especially a common concern. As a popular online post said, air may be the only thing that is equal for everyone, despite your income or profession. People with higher incomes are able to drink only bottled spring water and eat only organic food by paying higher prices, but they breathe the same air as everyone else.At a meeting on Monday, many representatives have expressed their concerns about the air quality, too. One talked about his experience in Beijing. “After taking a taxi from the capital airport to my hotel, which took about an hour, I washed my nose and found the inside of my nose was black. We should ask ourselves this question: Why do we want to develop? Its for living a better life. Dirty air is definitely not a better life，” he said.China needs to develop its economy and invest (投资) in hightech. Every Chinese has a dream to make China stronger. But without blue sky, clean water and safe food, the achievements in the economy will become meaningless. Space technologies are not to be developed for building a base on Mars so that one day all human beings can move to the red planet because they have destroyed Earth.What the public wants is a strong and beautiful China. The great efforts must be made to promote ecological progress and build a beautiful China. The words have shown the central governments determination to address the environment issue.1The effect of smog doesnt include _.Athe rising of PM2.5 readingsBmore people suffering diseasesCthe increase of peoples incomeDpatients increased in hospital2Why has smog become a common concern?ABecause people have to pay higher prices.BBecause nobody can avoid it.CBecause we have to develop industry.DBecause a popular onlinepost discussed it.3To make China stronger we have to develop economy, but _.Awe have to sacrifice air as the priceBthe dirty air is not what we wantCecological progress can be ignoredDthe smog is the only byproduct4From the last two paragraphs we can infer that _.Ahightech can completely solve the problem of pollutionBspace technologies should be developed in a large scaleCwe can move to Mars after the earth has been destroyedDwe must protect the environment while developing economy.书面表达(2014无锡高三模拟)图片反映的是中学生暑期游览大学校园的情景。作为一名高三学生，请根据下表提示，就目前普遍存在的中学生暑期游览名牌大学的现象用英语给校报“英语角”写一篇短文。名校游的积极作用休闲旅游、调节身心、了解名校、体悟学术氛围、激发学习热情、明确努力目标名校游的负面作用影响正常秩序、给高校压力、带来安全隐患你自己的看法注意：1.短文须包括所有要点，可适度发挥，以使行文连贯。2词数150左右，开头已经给出，但不计入总词数。3不得提及本人姓名和所在学校。Visiting famous universities during summer holidays is gaining popularity among high school students._答 案The environment单元检测(A卷全员必做).1.选D考查介词短语辨析。句意：经理想看看公司的变化，我相信他迟早会看到的。in particular“尤其，特别”；in turn“依次，轮流”； in charge“负责，掌管”； in time“及时，迟早，最终”。2选B第一个空特指“泰山的美丽景色”，故用the；leave an impression on sb.是固定搭配，故填an；第三空泛指“一次难忘的旅行”，故用an。3选B考查介词。decrease to“减少到”，其后一般接具体的数字；decrease by“减少了”，其后一般接分数或百分数。4选D考查非谓语动词。句意：她开始每天都花好几个小时苦练吉他，经常弹到手指流血才停下。这里用现在分词作伴随状语。5选C句意：那儿的天气是那么潮湿，以至于那些树都非常高，有些有90多米。“some _ over 90 meters”与前面的句子之间没有连词连接，且用了逗号，故本结构应为独立主格结构。measure表示“(指尺寸、长短、数量等)量度为”时是系动词，与some(trees)之间是主动关系，故用现在分词。6选Bappreciate，dislike，like等后跟宾语从句时需要用it作形式宾语，真正的宾语是后面的宾语从句。根据语境可知此处选B。7选B分析语境可知，第一空是在过去虚拟条件“如果我的钱没有花完”下得出的结论，故用完成时；第二空需填一个及物动词短语的主动形式，故B项正确。8选C句意：使医生大为吃惊的是，这位老爷爷不想本周让孙女做手术。want sb. to do sth.“想要某人做某事”，为固定用法，可排除B、D两项； operate on“给动手术”。operate on与granddaughter之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，故选C。9选A考查倍数表示法。句意：奇瑞，一个安徽省的汽车制造商，在2013年销售了近700 000辆汽车，总价值是2008年的3倍多。介词后不能接that引导的宾语从句，故B、D两项错误；倍数表达法之一是：倍数what从句，故A项正确。10选A句意：Judith躺在沙发上专心看书，没有注意到父母进来。第一个空的分词与其逻辑主语是主动关系，故用现在分词作状语；根据短语be absorbed in可知，第二个空应用absorbed，故选A。11选C句意：“真倒霉，他们没有提供给我工作。”“怎么会呢？你为面试做好了准备啊。”How come“怎么会”，符合句意。So what“那又怎么样”；What if“倘使将会怎样”；What about .“怎么样”。12选B答句句意：价格在100美元到500美元之间。range from . to .“在和之间变化”，符合题意。13选A句意：他们就公司是否应当恢复几年前中断了的这一贸易关系进行了一场激烈的争论。debate“争论，辩论”，指持不同观点的各方据理力争，并最终作出决定。14选C句意：他忽然想到了一个有趣的想法他可以用一个塑料瓶，去掉瓶子盖，作为一个容器来种植小植物。此处为非限制性定语从句，可表达为of which the top was cut off, whose top was cut off或the top of which was cut off。若选D，应去掉was, with its top cut off是with复合结构。15选C句中出现了since从句，主句用现在完成时，且quantities of作主语时，谓语动词用复数形式，故选C。.语篇解读：本文是一篇报道。文章介绍了美国各地日益流行的“生态城市农场(Eco City Farms)”。它不但可以带动生态社区，引领人们过上绿色健康的生活，更成为人们了解地球、了解食物的好去处。1选B主旨大意题。通读全文特别是文章首段可知，本文就“生态城市农场在美国各地日益流行”进行了相关介绍。故答案选B。2选C细节理解题。根据第二段第一、二句“. is located near shopping centers, car repair shops and homes.
