In the northern part ofAustin there once lived an honest family by the name of Smothers. The family had John Smothers, his wife and their five-year-old daughter.
One night after supper the little girl was ill with a serious stomachache, and John Smothers hurried downtown to get some medicine. He never came back. The mother was very sad over her husband's disappearance, and it was nearly three months before she married again, and moved to San Antonio. The little girl recovered and in time grew up to womanhood. After a few years had rolled around, the little girl also married in time, and she also had a little girl of five years. She still lived in the same house where theydweltwhen her father had left and never returned.
By an unbelievable coincidence her little girl was taken with the same stomachache on the same night of the disappearance of John Smothers, who would now have been her grandfather if he had been alive. “I will go downtown and get some medicine for her,” said John Smith(for it was he whom she had married). “No, no, dear John,” cried his wife. “You, too, might disappear forever, and then forget to come back.” So John Smith did not go, and together they sat by the bedside of little Pansy. After a little while Pansy seemed to grow worse, and John Smith again wanted to go for medicine, but his wife would not let him.
Just then, the door suddenly opened and an old man with long white hair entered the room. “Hello, here is grandpa,” said Pansy. She had recognized him before any of the others. The old man drew a bottle of medicine from his pocket and gave Pansy a spoonful. She got well immediately. “I was a little late,” said John Smothers, “as I waited for a street car.”

D. John Smith went for medicine.

When a United Kingdomsupermarket chain promised to move its farms to Net Zero by 2030, it made it clear that the effort would require working on many different fronts. From energy consumption and land - use change to methane emissions (甲烷排放), cattle farming comes with environmental challenges. So even if recent studies suggesting it's possible to cut methane emissions 80% do turn out to be accurate, there's still a very long way to go for most cattle farming to get anywhere close to truly net zero.
Organic Valley, when producing milk, might be closer to that goal. It made headlines in 2019 by going 100% renewable (可再生的). Now the company is expanding on that tradition by starting a major loan initiative (贷款计划) to help its farm suppliers adopt renewable energy too.
Created with Clean Energy Credit Union, the $ 1 million loan fund will deliver loans at below - marketrates. Specifically, the money will be made available to Organic Valley's 1, 700 farmer members, and can be used for a variety of projects.
“We are focused on a whole systems approach to renewable energy, and I'm excited to launch this energy loan fund. From the farm to the shelf, I see renewable energy playing a bigger role in organic food,” said Bob Kirchoff, Organic Valley CEO.
“Organic Valley is already helping to protect the environment through organic farming practices, and now they re going one step further by supporting the introduction of renewable energy projects for their farmer members,” said Blake Jones, volunteer board chair of Clean Energy Credit Union. “In addition to the environmental benefits, we re eager to help family farmers throughout the world to lower their energy costs.”
The world is not short of examples of farmers innovating in the field of renewable energy. What's encouraging about Organic Valley's announcement is the idea of a national brand putting its marketing and financing weight behind such efforts and, hopefully, creating consumer demand that pushes the rest of the industry in this direction too.
8. What does paragraph 1 indicate about going net zero for cattle farming?
A It is not easy to achieve B. It is common in the UK
C. It is an impractical goal
D. It meets no challenges
9. What is Organic Valley's tradition according to the text?
A. Helping farm suppliers
B. Using renewable energy
C. Having a loan initiative
D. Making headlines annually
10. What is Organic Valley's initiative mainly intended to do?
A. Reform organic farming practices
B. Make use of environmental benefits
C. Help farmers decrease energy costs
D. Shrink the group of farmer members
11. What is the author's attitude towards Organic Valley's initiative?
A. Worried
B. Doubtful
C. Ambiguous
D. Positive
D
In someareas ofCalifornia, it’s so dry that farmers aren’t willing to plant crops this season. Growers, north ofSan Francisco, have begun pulling out of local farmers markets.
CountyLineHarvest, which farms more than 30 acres inPetaluma, hasn’t had enough water to grow all the peppers, lettuces and other produce for a long time, according to a video on its Instagram page. Nearby farms arc saying the same, emphasizing (强调) the effect of theextendeddry periods.
Californiagrows a third of theUnited States' vegetables and two-thirds of the nation's fruits and nuts. If dry weather prevents farmers from growing plants, that could lead to pushing up the price of food that's already starting to affect theU.S.economy.
“Due to severe drought, for the first time in 21 years, we will not be able to grow this summer inPetaluma,"CountyLinesaid in its post.
Drew Lerner, president of World Weather Inc. inKansas, saidCalifornia“missed the rainy season" and won't see much moisture (水分) over the next several months.
A La Nina weather pattern in the Pacific pushed winter storms north and away from the state, leaving it with less moisture than usual. AsCaliforniagets most of its water from winter storms, little relief is expected before October.
That has left growers such as Shao Shan Fann in a bind. The business can’t offer the selection of Asian vegetables and Bay Area staples it usually grows at its Bolinas location, according to its website.
Nearby, Green Valley Community Farm has access to only about 5% of the water it usually relies on, owner David Plescia said. He’s looking for new land with enough water to use, and also has a permit in the works to grow cannabis to make up for the lost income. If it doesn’t make it, he’ll leave the fields empty.
“It’s part of our generation’s cross to bear, figuring out how to run small — or medium-scale farm businesses in this kind of atmosphere of highly variable rainfall,” Andrew said.
12. What does the underlined word “extended” in the second paragraph mean?
A. Hot.
B. Short.
C. Long.
D. Wonderful.
13. Which is the result if the dry weather stops famers from planting crops?
A. Theincreaseinthe priceof food.
B. The growth of economy inU.S.
C.Lessmoisture than usual.
D. The low price of Asian vegetables.
14. From what Andrew said, we can infer (推断) all of the following statements EXCEPT that________.
A. The climate is not very good
B. It is part of the burden for people of his generation
C. It is hard for him to run his farm businesses insuch bad climate
D. He is sure that the serious drought will come to an end soon
15. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. How do the famers run businesses inCalifornia.
B. How does the owner look for new land with enough water
C. California farmers facing drought choose not to plant crops.
D. The farm economy of theUnited Stateshas changed a lot.

续写词数应为80左右。

Wind whistled round the corner of the house, thunder rolled and rain beat against the windows — not a night to be outside but rather to sit by the fire. Thanks to the solid walls and roof overhead, I could imagine Dr. Frankenstein's frightening creation wandering on such a night. I was alone, my husband away and the nearest neighbor a quarter miles down the road. Alone, that is, except for Lassie, a hairy, black and white dog, who sat with her head on my lap, her intelligent, brown eyes gazing up at me as if to say, don't worry, we'll be all right.
Through the years she was with us, she proved time and time again to be a superb judge of character. We never knew if it was a result of her sense of smell or sound-but, whatever it was, she definitely possessed a talent we humans lacked. On first meeting she would either wag the tip of her tail a couple of times to indicate that the visitor was acceptable, or slightly curl her top lip, exposing her sharp teeth which told you to be alert. Always
accurate, her gift was never more obvious than on this night.
The doorbell rang. I decided not to answer it. It rang again, much longer this time. Whoever was there was not going away. Still I hesitated. On the fourth ring, with Lassie by my side, I finally answered the door. My heart beat fast and my mouth went dry, for there, stood the monster himself. A twisted body under a heavy overcoat, one shoulder bumped higher than the other and his head leaned slightly forward and to one side.
“May I use your phone?” The voice came from somewhere back in his throat and, although the request was polite, his tone was rude.
Reaching in his pocket and producing a piece of paper, he handed it to me. I refused to take it. Believing he might try and force his way in, I looked at Lassie to see if she was ready to defend the home.
Surprisingly, she sat by my side, the tip of her tail wagging.

【56题详解】
考查连词。

句意：如果不是你帮助我们，我们不可能成功。

Unless为连词，引导条件状语从句，or是并列连词，不能引导主句，故将or删除。

【57题详解】
考查状语从句的省。

句意：当过马路的时候四周看看。

句中when引导的时间状语从句，从句中省略了主语和be动词，cross此处表示主动，故将crosses改为crossing。

【58题详解】
考查主谓一致。

句意：他五分之三的收入都花在了食物和衣服上。

分数后面的名词为pay，是不可数名词，所以谓语动词用单数形式，故将were改为was。

【59题详解】
考查代词。

句意：她的头发比你的长。

宾语yours与主语指代同一事物，即your hair，故将you改为yours。

【60题详解】
考查固定搭配。

句意：他宁愿呆在家里也不愿跟你出去。

would rather do than do，为固定搭配，意为“宁愿做……而不愿……”，故将to删除。

【61题详解】
考查连词。

句意：小心，否则你会掉进河里。

分析句子可知，前后两句是转折关系，故将and改为or。

【62题详解】
考查连词。

句意：虽然我知道为了成为一个博学的人，我必须学习相当多的科目，但有两个科目是我特别重视的。

Although和but不能同时使用，故将but/although删除。

【63题详解】
考查主谓一致。

句意：河上有两家工厂。

There be句型中谓语动词的单复数取决于真正的主语，即two factories，故将stands改为stand。

【64题详解】
考查定语从句。

句意：这是我们上次参观的房子。

分析句子可知，此句为定语从句，先行词house在从句中作宾语，因而要使用关系代词that/which，故将where改成which/that。

【65题详解】
考查形容词。

句意：不要再工作了，你看上去很累。

主语为人，表语为ed结尾的形容词,意为“感到疲惫的”，故将tiring改为tired
52.略。
