18、e.B. A newspaper.C. A travel brochure.D. A magazine.BThere isnt much doubt that one of the most influential people in my life was my grandmother Lizzie Kerns.My brother Mike started the family custom of moving in with Granny Kerns during our high school years. I lived with her all through my senior
19、year. She lives very close to the school, so Id come over and eat lunch with her. On game days, Id come over and take a nap from about four oclock to seven-thirty, since game time was eight oclock. Id just go there, lie on the floor and go to sleep. Granny would come in at seven-thirty and say, “You
20、d better get up. Youll be playing in half an hour.” We used to shoot free throws every morning at six oclock. One day I just wanted to sleep in. Granny woke me up and said, “Larry, those other boys are down there. You should be down there with them.” I got up and went to free throw practice.Mark and
21、 I would be at Grannys for supper and later on, just before it was time to go to bed, Mark would say, “Mmm, some popcorn would taste good right now. Larry, what would you think about some popcorn?” Granny wouldnt say a thing. But the next thing you knew, shed have that pan out and youd hear that pop
22、ping sound in the kitchen.We started moving in with her because we just didnt have enough room. It was always a problem. After Mike started it, Mark did it for a while and then me. Later on, Eddie used to eat lunch there every day. Granny was proud of all her grandkids. Oh, she read everything about
23、 me she could get her hands on and she knew Id signed contracts (合同) for big money, but she never discussed it. None of us got special treatment. Granny loved all of us and thats the way it should be.Id have given her anything, but what she really wanted was security. Granny just wanted to know she
24、had enough to get by. She always told me one thing, “Im not afraid to die. When I get old and cant do it anymore, Im not going to be afraid to die.” That showed me a lot. Unfortunately, Granny passed away while I was writing this, so she was never able to see that I dedicated (献给) my book to her.24.

The author preferred sleeping to playing basketball.D. Granny was good at controlling her grandchildrens life.25. According to the passage, which words can b

28、ore.D. Granny couldnt read the book written in honor of her.CWith egg shortages already a familiar sight on supermarket shelves, farmers are warning that vegetables and grains could be next, because environmental plans take out large areas of land that are used for food production.Stephen Holt, who
29、owns 670 acres in Northamptonshire, said farmers were being incentivized (刺激) by the government subsidy to reduce food production in favour of wildlife. He has signed up to an environmental plan which is being carried out in England under the concept of “public money for public goods”.“Instead of 1,
30、300 tonnes of product, we will produce 900 tonnes of product from our farm,” Holt said. Under the new plan, his input costs will be reduced and he will be paid a guaranteed (有保证的) sum.“In my view, the huge danger is that there will be a serious decrease in agricultural output,” he said. “We are not
31、helping but we cant have the whole food system of the UK on our shoulders, because everyone has to act in their individual best interests.”James Williams, who farms in Oxfordshire, said the environmental plans will reduce the risks in his farm business and that he will not be affected by the weather
32、 and international markets. “It does mean that we will be taking perhaps 30 per cent of our wheat land out of production for a season or two, or more,” he said. “What has not been mentioned is that if some disaster fell and our imports were disrupted (扰乱), growing wheat to produce bread could not be
33、 turned on like a tap. It will take several years and a significant increase in prices to get production back up to todays levels.”The UK produces about 60 per cent of its food consumption, including the majority of grains, meat, dairy and eggs. However, seasonal labour shortages have led many Briti
34、sh farm businesses to reduce their production by as much as 20-30 per cent since 2020. Egg production has dropped to its lowest level in nine years. Liz Webster, a farmer in north Wiltshire, said, “There just doesnt seem to be any thought or concern for food security and food supply. Theyve just lef
35、t it up to the supermarkets.” The farmers concerns include imported food produced in countries with lower welfare (福利) standards, and labelling of food origins. “These imports are packaged here, and if theyre packaged or processed here they can have a British flag, which is absolutely dishonest,” We
36、bster said.28. The word “subsidy” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _.A. banB. warningC. permissionD. award29. What can we learn from paragraph 5?A. Reducing wheat production may cause negative impacts.B. The environmental plans can improve the farm business.C. The international markets will a
37、ffect the farmers interests.D. A recovery in wheat production will come soon after disruption.30. What is Liz Websters opinion on food safety?A. Supermarkets are responsible for food safety.B. The safety of imported food cannot be guaranteed.C.A British flag on food package ensures food safety.D. Fo
38、od safety and supply issues have been addressed.31.What is the main idea of this article?A. Seasonal labour is in short supply.B. Imported food prices are on the rise.C. Farmers fear food shortage caused by green plans.D. Government worries about the slow agricultural development.DDror Angel, an eco
39、logist, had for years heard his archaeologist (考古学家) colleagues talk about ancient shipwrecks on the bottom of the Black Sea that were perfectly preserved by the low-oxygen environment. “You can see ropes,” Angel says. “Its something which is quite amazing.” Now, Angel wants to fight climate change
40、by purposefully adding to the wreckage (残骸) , sinking waste wood to the sea floor, where carbon that the trees stored up can remain locked away for centuries.Angel is a scientist for a company that could help limit global warming by drawing carbon out of the atmosphere and locking it up. However, so
41、me carbon capture (捕获) strategies require expensive machines and complex chemistry, burying waste wood at sea is extremely simple: All it takes are tugboats and woody waste from forestry and agriculture.The approach has advantages over another popular ocean-based carbon capture strategy: growing mas
42、sive amounts of seaweed. Because the plant material is grown on land rather than in the ocean, it is. less likely to rob nutrients from the surrounding water and upset the ecology. Industrial agriculture and forestry could grow, process, and transport plants, in contrast to marine farming, which has
43、 never been attempted at scale. And because woody plants are tough and unlikely to break down, they are good at hanging on to their carbon.At the same time, the approach may fall short of whats needed to fight climate change. To keep global warming below 2C, the world needs to capture and store abou
44、t 10 billion tons of carbon dioxide per year by midcentury. But waste wood can be sunk only where supplies of it are located near suitable bodies of water. By one recent study, the approach could lock a few tens of billions of tons of carbon dioxide in totaljust a little of the need.“This approach i
45、s not going to solve the full problem,” says ocean engineer Kate Moran. “Its going to be a small piece of the pie if it is considered to be more beneficial than risky.” But the urgency of carbon removal demands that every possible approach be explored thoroughly, she adds, “Anyway, we need all the t
46、ools in the toolbox.” 32. Why did the author cite “You can see ropes” in paragraph 1?A. Angel dropped the ropes into the deep sea for experiment.B. Things can be well preserved in the low-oxygen environment.C. Carbon that the ropes stored up can be locked away for a long time.D. Angels archaeologist
47、 colleagues were studying the deep sea environment.33. Why is the approach of sinking waste wood better than that of growing seaweed?A. It is supported by mature techniques.B. It requires cheap machines and simple chemistry.C. Woody plants are more environmentally friendly.D. Waste wood takes in lot
48、s of carbon from the surroundings.34. What message does paragraph 4 convey?A. The strategy alone isnt enough to fight climate change.B. The strategy can capture and lock the carbon dioxide needed.C. The global warming cant be kept below 2C with the strategy.D. Supplies of waste wood are available near suitable bodies of
