根据第一段“Hittingnetzeroemissionsby2050,atargetsetattheCOP26summit,couldbeachievedmorequicklyusingcitydigitaltwins—workingvirtualreplicas(复制品)thathelptrack,manageandreduceenvironmentaldamagerapidly.(到2050年实现净零排放，这是COP26峰会设定的目标，使用数字孪生技术可以更快地实现。数字孪生技术是一种可工作的虚拟复制品，有助于快速跟踪、管理和减少环境破坏。)”可知，城市数字孪生技术被用来减少城市碳排放。故选D。13．细节理解题。

根据第二段“TheUnitedNationssayscities,themostsuitablesubjects,whichoccupylessthantwopercentoftheEarth’ssurface,aremajorcontributorstoclimatechange,consumingalmost80percentoftheworld’senergyandproducingmorethan60percentofgreenhousegasemissions.(联合国说，城市是最合适的研究对象，它们只占地球表面不到2%的面积，却是气候变化的主要原因，消耗了世界上近80%的能源，产生了60%以上的温室气体排放。)”可知，城市消耗了世界近80%的能源并产生了60%以上的温室气体，所以城市最适合使用数字孪生技术。故选D。14．推理判断题。

根据第三段的“SimilartechnologieshavebeeninusesinceNASA’sApollomoonmissionin1969,wherecomputersandmachinereplicaswereusedtotestandmonitorspacecraft.(自1969年美国宇航局的阿波罗登月任务以来，类似的技术就一直在使用，当时使用计算机和机器复制品来测试和监控航天器。)”可知，文中提及“Apollo登月计划”是为了解释数字孪生技术的实际应用。故选B。15．推理判断题。

根据倒数第二段的““Theyaretheperfecttoolformanagingandacceleratingtheenergytransition,”saidCEOMichaelJansen.“Wecouldgettonetzeroemissionsgloballyby2035.”(首席执行官MichaelJansen表示:“它们是管理和加速能源转型的完美工具。”“到2035年，我们可以在全球实现净零排放。”)”可知，该项技术是实用并具有前景的。故选A。二、七选五Havingavegetablegardenoffersmanyhealthbenefits.Herearereasonswhyahomevegetablegardenbeatseventhefarmers’marketwhenitcomestoyourhealthandwell-being.16.Gardeningisveryphysical.Whatmakesgardeningbetterthanagymworkoutisthatithappensoutdoorswithfreshairandsunshine.Whetheryouareweedinginthedown-warddogposition,ordiggingbagsofsoil,agardendeliversthefullgymexperience,fromcardiorightdowntoyoga.Yourgardenprovidesyouwitharawdiet.Mosthomegrowncropstastebetterthanstore-bought,butnovegetabletakesthistothenextlevellikesweetpeas.17,butmostgardenersfindthatevenafewvines(藤)areworththespace.Ahandfuloffreshly-shelled,rawsweetpeasburstingintoyourmouthonasummermorninghavefewrivalsinthefoodkingdom.18.Theaverageconsumerremainsatthemercyoftheproducebuyeratthelocalmarket,butoncethehomegardenerdiscoversthediversityofcolorsandtastesthatcanbehomegrown,anutrient-richvegetablechoiceopensup.Heirloom(原种的)tomatoesrangeincolorfromdeeppurpleandnearlyblacktogoldenyellowandpalewhite.Besidesthecolor,thereisanotherbenefit.19.Yourgardenallowsyoutogive.20,butnothingfeelsasgreataswhenyousharefood.Imaginehowitfeelsforotherstoreceivefreshhomegrownvegetables.Abasketofheir-loomcherrytomatoescandisappearfasterthanaboxofdonutsdeepfriedinfat.A．It’snicetoreceivegiftsB．WeknowthatitfeelsgoodtogiveC．YourgardenletsyoueattherainbowD．ThevegetablegardenmakesyouachefE．GrowingvegetableshelpsyoutakeexerciseF．ExpertsmaynotrecommendsweetpeasforsmallgardensG．Nutritionistsagreethatcolorfulvegetablesarerichinnutrition【答案】16．E17．F18．C19．G20．B【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是家庭菜园对健康和幸福有益的原因。16．空格处是本段主题句，由空后的“Gardeningisveryphysical.Whatmakesgardeningbetterthanagymworkoutisthatithappensoutdoorswithfreshairandsunshine.Whetheryouareweedinginthedown-warddogposition,ordiggingbagsofsoil,agardendeliversthefullgymexperience,fromcardiorightdowntoyoga.(园艺是非常需要体力劳动的。园艺比健身房锻炼更好的地方在于，园艺是在户外进行的，有新鲜的空气和阳光。无论你是下犬式除草，还是挖土袋，花园都能提供全面的健身体验，从有氧运动到瑜伽。)”可知，本段主要讲的是园艺是一种锻炼，E选项“Growingvegetableshelpsyoutakeexercise(种蔬菜有助于锻炼身体)”说明了进行园艺可以锻炼，因此概括本段内容，可作为主题句，故选E。17．空前说“Mosthomegrowncropstastebetterthanstore-bought,butnovegetabletakesthistothenextlevellikesweetpeas.(大多数自家种植的作物都比商店买的好吃，但没有一种蔬菜能像甜豌豆那样达到更高的水平。)”，空后说“butmostgardenersfindthatevenafewvines(藤)areworththespace.Ahandfuloffreshly-shelled,rawsweetpeasburstingintoyourmouthonasummermorninghavefewrivalsinthefoodkingdom.(但大多数园丁发现，即使只有几株藤蔓，也值得拥有这样的空间。在夏日的早晨，一把新鲜的、生的甜豌豆涌进你的嘴里，在美食王国里没有什么能与之匹敌的了。)”，因此空格处应该说到和甜豌豆相关的内容，F选项“Expertsmaynotrecommendsweetpeasforsmallgardens(专家可能不建议小花园种植甜豌豆)”说明的是和甜豌豆相关的内容，因此承上启下，符合语境，故选F。18．空格处是本段主题句，由空后的“Theaverageconsumerremainsatthemercyoftheproducebuyeratthelocalmarket,butoncethehomegardenerdiscoversthediversityofcolorsandtastesthatcanbehomegrown,anutrient-richvegetablechoiceopensup.Heirloom(原种的)tomatoesrangeincolorfromdeeppurpleandnearlyblacktogoldenyellowandpalewhite.(普通消费者仍然受当地市场上农产品买家的摆布，但一旦家庭园丁发现了可以自己种植的颜色和口味的多样性，营养丰富的蔬菜就有了选择。原种番茄的颜色从深紫色、接近黑色到金黄色和淡白色不等。)”可知，家庭菜园能带来各种颜色，C选项“Yourgardenletsyoueattherainbow(你的花园让你吃彩虹（般颜色的蔬菜）)”概括了本段内容，可作为主题句，故选C。19．空格前说“Besidesthecolor,thereisanotherbenefit.(除了颜色，还有一个好处。)”，空格处应该说家庭菜园除了带来丰富的颜色外，这些色彩丰富的蔬菜还有什么好处，G选项“Nutritionistsagreethatcolorfulvegetablesarerichinnutrition(营养学家认为颜色鲜艳的蔬菜营养丰富)”说明了颜色鲜艳的蔬菜的好处是营养丰富，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选G。20．本段主题句是“Yourgardenallowsyoutogive.(你的花园允许你给予。)”，空后说“butnothingfeelsasgreataswhenyousharefood(但没有什么比分享食物更让人开心的了)”，因此空格处应说给予是让人开心的，B选项“Weknowthatitfeelsgoodtogive(我们知道给予的感觉很好)”说明了给予是让人开心的，承上启下，符合语境，故选B。三、完形填空AsGwenEricksonapproached97,shebeganraisingoneofAmerica’smostpopular,yetendangeredbutterflies—themonarchbutterfly(帝王蝶).Shemanagedto2127butterflieslastyearandthisyearthe22hasgoneupto61.Thoughsomemightsaythatnatureshouldbeleftto23itself,thebutterflies’populationis24rapidly.Theyneedalittleextrahelp.25,thedevotionisexactlywhatthe97-year-oldisableto26forherlittlewingedfriends.Thewholeprocessisalittle27,beginningwithcollectingeggsfromthemilkweedleavesthatgrowinherbackyard.FourdaysafterEricksonplacedtheeggsinjarsonherlivingroomtable,thecaterpillar(毛毛虫)appeared,andthen,withinseveralweeks,formedachrysaliss(蛹).Twoweekslaterthebeautifulbutterflies28.Ericksonthenreleasedthebutterfliesintothewild,butacoupleseemedalittle29toleavetheirlovinghomeand30theseniorbyflyingaroundthehouse.Ericksonrememberedherfirstattempttoraisethe31andsaidshehopeditcouldenablehergrandchildrento32aninterestinthesebeautifulinsects.However,it’sshewhohasfoundthe33inraisingbutterfliesintheend.Ericksondoesn’tliketotalkaboutherselfandwhatshedoes,butshedoessothistimeasshewantsto34otherstocareforthisendangeredspecies.Happily,afriendandhersonhavejoinedherinhernew-found35.Hopefully,wewillseea(n)36inthosedecreasingnumbers.Thisnew37isafineexampleofpeople38thesmallerthingsinlife.It39usthatit’snevertoolatetobe40inlife.21．A．steal
