However, its never an easy one to perform especially for those with children.So when I found out I was going to be stationed in South Korea for a year, I was nervous about how my five children, particularly my eldest daughter Abigail, would take the news since it meant I wouldnt be home to see her graduate from high school.Incredibly, Abigail told me not to worry and even suggested we live_stream the event among family members when I leaked the news. “Weve been lucky you havent had to be sent abroad yet. Anyway we can get connected through the Internet. See me on your phone on my spot, ” Abigail said. She stepped into many of my roles when I was gone. I wanted to find a way to thank her and show her how proud I was of her. I started planning the special surprise when my request to return home a few weeks early to attend Abigails graduation ceremony was approved. When my time in South Korea finally came to an end, I flew home, rented a car, and stayed in a hotel. And on Abigails graduation day, I hid in an office behind the stage waiting until I heard my daughters name called. I just kept thinking “ Dont cry. Dont trip in your heels. Dont fall over. ” At last！Abigail was up on stage. I slipped up behind her, whispered in her ear, and around she turned! “ I was just thinking, like, You arent supposed to be here. What? What? How？ It was the biggest shock.Im pretty sure my dad made people he didnt even know cry. Emotional for everyone，” Abigail cried.You know what followed: Embraces, kisses, tears, laughs, flowers, wishes.Arent they what a family has in store?语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。“我”将被派驻韩国一年，因此，“我”将无法参加大女儿Abigail的高中毕业典礼，但是为了给她惊喜，在她的毕业典礼上，“我”出现在了她面前。本文体现了学科核心素养中的“关注亲情、家庭和谐”的文化品格。1What worried the author most?AHis duty in South Korea.BHis five childrens safety.CHis eldest daughters study.DHis absence from a big event.解析：细节理解题。根据第一段，尤其是该段最后一句可知，“我”最担心的是“我”将无法参加大女儿Abigail的毕业典礼，故D项正确。答案：D2What is the probable meaning of the underlined phrase“ live stream”？APlan.BCelebrate.CPrepare.

But a new study published in Science Advances paints a more complex picture. While organic produce is likely slightly healthier to eat and, in some ways, more sustainable to grow, there are also downsides.Organic fruits and vegetables typically cost more than conventional ones. To get a certificate as organic, farmers must meet specific criteria, including growing produce without the use of genetic engineering and chemical inputs. Without these methods, the growing process typically requires more labor, time, and money, a cost that is passed down to consumers. Its true that in many ways, organic farming is more sustainable than conventional farming. But when it comes to environmental concerns such as greenhouse gas output and water loss, the comparison gets complex. Organic farms produce less greenhouse gas output per acre. However, because they are barred from using genetic engineering, pesticides (杀虫剂), and other methods that increase efficiency (效率), organic farms also produce an estimated 19% to 25% less yield than conventional farms. While there isnt a whole lot of research on the topic, the few studies that do exist suggest greenhouse gas output and water loss might actually be higher on organic farms, on a per unit basis, says study author Verena Seufert. In addition, while organic produce is likely more nutritious than conventional fruits and vegetables, theres not a lot of evidence to support the claim that these often slight differences influence consumer health. The same is true for the pesticide remainder. In developed countries, where pesticide use is tightly regulated, theres no scientific consensus on how these often slight differences influence human health.Still, Seufert stresses that if you can afford to eat organic produce, you should do so. Organic farms provide safer work environments for workers, plus they support great biodiversity. The real takeaway from her study is not that organic produce is bad but that the practice needs more studies to increase the yield without lowering sustainability.But if you cant afford to buy organic produce, dont stress too much, particularly from a nutritional perspective.语篇解读本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了有机农产品的一些情况。体现了学科核心素养中的“环保意识、健康饮食意识”的文化品格。5What does the underlined word“downsides”in Paragraph 1 most probably mean?ADangers.BDrawbacks. CBenefits. DDifferences.解析：词义猜测题。根据第一段最后一句“While organic produce is likely slightly healthier to eat and, in some ways, more sustainable to grow, there are also downsides.”可知，虽然有机农产品可能稍微健康些，但在某些方面，也有其缺点。再结合语境和下文陈述的有机农产品的缺点可以判断，画线词应指有机农产品不好的一面，B项意为“缺点”，故B项正确。答案：B6. Which key factor makes it hard to compare organic farming with conventional farming when it comes to environmental concerns?AThe yield. BThe price.CThe water loss. DThe labor.解析： 细节理解题。根据题干关键词“hard to compare”定位至第三段第二句“But when it comes to environmental concerns such as greenhouse gas output and water loss，the comparison gets complex.”，由此可知，当涉及诸如温室气体排放和水资源损失等环境问题时，比较传统农业和有机农业就困难了；且根据第三段其他内容可知，虽然有机农业与传统农业相比更可持续，但因为不能使用基因工程技术、杀虫剂及其他提高效率的方法，有机农业的产量相对低，故产量是使得两者之间的比较变得困难的重要因素。A项意为“产量”，故A项正确。答案：A 7.Which of the following will the author most probably agree with?AFarmers work environment should be improved.BOrganic produce should be made more efficiently.CIt isnt wise for consumers to buy organic products.DThe pesticide remainder do no harm to peoples health.解析：推理判断题。根据第三段第四句可知，由于禁止使用基因工程技术和杀虫剂等，有机农场的产量估计会比传统农场的产量低19%至25%。据此可以判断，应当提高有机农业的生产效率，故B项正确。第五段的最后一句亦是提示。答案：B8In the authors opinion, why should we support organic produce?AIts environmentally friendly.BIts more nutritious. CIt helps keep the variety of plants.DIts safer for consumers. 解析：推理判断题。根据第五段第二句“Organic farms provide safer work environments for workers，plus they support great biodiversity.”可知，有机农场为工人提供更安全的工作环境，而且有机农场有助于保持生物多样性。据此可以判断，我们应当提倡有机农产品的原因之一是能保持生物的多样性，故C项正确。答案：CCIrelands Achill Island has always been a popular European tourist destination. However, since April in 2017, the small island of just 2,700 residents (居民) has gained worldwide fame thanks to the magical return of a beach that was washed away over three decades ago.The chain of events began in 1984 when residents of Dooagh, one of the settlements on the island, awoke to a surprising sight: their beautiful sandy beach had been washed away by strong Atlantic storms. There were only rocks and rock pools left. For about 34 years, only small amounts of sand returned to the once unspoiled shores. The areas tourism industry slowly declined, and the handful of beachside hotels, pubs, and restaurants gradually closed as well.Then around Easter in 2017, something magical happenedan unusual tenday tide blanketed the barren 300meter long rock beach with hundreds of tons of soft golden sand. Scientists suspect that the sand had been gathering offshore for months and was transported to the beach by the high winds and powerful waves.The locals are delighted to have their beach back, especially as it is attracting thousands of visitors wishing to witness the power of nature with their own eyes. However, Sean Molloy, manager at Achill Tourism, cautions against going into the cold waters just yet, saying, “Because of the sand coming in, we dont know how safe the beach is now because currents (水流) could be changed and itll take a little bit of time. ”He instead recommends visitors enjoy the soft sand and leave the swimming to the dolphins that frequent the area.Interestingly, this is not the first time Dooagh Beach has pulled a disappearing and reappearing act. It disappeared in the 1890s, for over 30 years, before returning in 1927. However, the locals are optimistic that this time around, the beautiful sand is here to stay.语篇解读本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了爱尔兰Achill岛消失的海滩时隔三十多年再次出现的事件。9What has brought Achill Island worldwide attention recently?AAn unusual storm.BThe decrease in the number of residents.CThe return of its beach.
