Carol-Anne O’Callaghan, a former teacher from Great Missenden, Buckinghamshire, has fought hard to protect ancient oaks near her home, which she says are home to rare bats.
In February 2021, O’Callaghan was walking her dogs when she spotted yellow dots stuck on some of the 99 oak trees in a narrow country lane close to her home. The dots indicated trees marked for destruction. After she learned the trees would be felled as part of the HS2 high-speed railway works, she called the HS2 helpline and was told there was nothing that could be done as an over-road would be built. She gets choked up remembering the moment she realized many of them were to be cut down.
O’Callaghan loves that ancient line of oaks. They were planted in the 19th century. “My family and I would picnic under them,” she says, “climb them, have rope swings on them. The trees are amazing and beautiful and meant so much.” One of the last photos of her mother, taken shortly before she died, was of her sitting in a swing in their branches.
She noticed that on the other side of the lane, to the north, there were no ancient oaks. So she began campaigning to save the trees. With the help of her daughter, Blaize, she started a petition(请愿书), which went on to get nearly 43,000 signatures. “I saw someone passionate about giving a voice to those who don’t have one, someone not afraid of asking questions and calling out large, daunting businesses for doing the wrong thing,” says her neighbour Victoria.
Buckinghamshire Council has got involved, and the felling is paused. A final decision has yet to be made about the proposed over-road. “We’re optimistic that they’ll hear our argument and take the ecology of the lane into account,” says O’Callaghan. “We want them to put in a green crossing in the gaps between trees, for the bats, and we’d like the place to become a conservation area. For the trees and the bats—this is what we are fighting for!”
4. What did the yellow dots on the oaks indicate
A. These oaks would be cut down. B. The narrow lane would be widened.
C. Rare bats would get protected. D. A railway station would be built.
5. Why does O’Callaghan have deep feelings of the oaks
A. Due to the oaks’ long history. B. Due to the natural beauty.
C. Due to the precious memories. D. Due to the diverse wildlife.
6. What kind of person is O’Callaghan
A. Creative. B. Humorous. C. Generous. D. Enthusiastic.
7. What is a direct result of O’Callaghan’s efforts
A. The ecology is being improved.
B. The felling has been put off.
C. The Council canceled the proposal.
D. The area becomes a reserve.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了白金汉郡的Carol-Anne O’Callaghan为保护家附近的古橡树和橡树上的稀有蝙蝠而努力奔走，最终白金汉郡议会涉入此事，砍伐行动被暂停了。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The dots indicated trees marked for destruction.(这些圆点表示被标记为要毁坏的树木。)”可知，橡树上的黄色圆点表示这些橡树将被砍伐。故选A。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“‘My family and I would picnic under them,’ she says, ‘climb them, have rope swings on them. The trees are amazing and beautiful and meant so much.’ One of the last photos of her mother, taken shortly before she died, was of her sitting in a swing in their branches.(‘我和家人会在树下野餐，’她说，‘爬上树，在树上荡绳子绑的秋千。这些树令人惊叹、美丽，意义重大。’她母亲去世前不久最后拍摄的照片中有一张就是她坐在树枝上的秋千上。)”可知，O’Callaghan一家人在树下野餐、在树上攀爬、荡秋千，而且她有一张照片就是她母亲去世前坐在秋千上拍摄的。由此可推测出，O’Callaghan有许多与橡树的珍贵回忆，所以她对这些橡树有深刻的感情。故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中邻居Victoria的话“I saw someone passionate about giving a voice to those who don’t have one, someone not afraid of asking questions and calling out large, daunting businesses for doing the wrong thing(我看到有人热衷于为那些无法发声的东西发声，不怕问问题，也不怕指责那些做错事的大型、令人生畏的企业)”可知，邻居认为O’Callaghan敢于发声、敢于质疑和指责有错误的大企业，由此可推测出，她是一个充满热情的人。故选D。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Buckinghamshire Council has got involved, and the felling is paused.(白金汉郡议会已经介入，砍伐行动暂停。)”可知，O’Callaghan努力的直接结果就是让砍伐行动得以暂停。故选B。
C
Vehicles on our roads are now mostly petrol and diesel (柴油) cars, but their days cannot continue for much longer. A recent university study found that current electric cars could be used for 87 percent of daily car journeys in the US. That figure could rise to 98 percent by 2024.
One hurdle to the widespread adoption of electric cars has been “range anxiety” — drivers’ concerns about running out of electricity on a journey. While petrol stations are conveniently located across national road systems, the necessary network of electric charging stations is still being developed. That said, charging points are becoming increasingly common throughout the USA.
Attitudes towards electric vehicles have changed greatly over the last few years. Not that long ago, electric cars were met with distrust, and their high prices drove customers away. Thanks to improvements in battery capacity, recharging times, performance and price, the current generation of electric cars are starting to persuade picky consumers.
As well as development on the road, electric vehicles are taking to the seas and skies. Electric boats are among the oldest methods of electric travel, having enjoyed several decades of popularity from the late 19th to the early 20th century before petrol-powered outboard motors took over. Now, the global drive for renewable energy sources is bringing electric boats back. Steps towards electric air travel are also being made, with Airbus and NASA among the organizations developing and testing battery-powered planes.
Electric vehicles do not produce any emissions (排放). If the US could replace 87 percent of its cars with electric vehicles, it would reduce the national demand for petrol by 61 percent. That said, as many countries continue to increase their use of renewable energy sources, electric vehicles will become even cleaner.
8. What does the underlined word “hurdle” in Paragraph 2 probably means
A. Aim. B. Problem. C. Result. D. Step.
9. Why did many people refuse to buy the electric cars in the past
A. They were dependable. B. They were not widely promoted.
C. They were expensive. D. They couldn’t travel at a high speed.
10. What is the function of Paragraph 4
A. To introduce the history of electric travel.
B. To explain why the world needs more electric cars.
C. To show why more people have interest in electric cars.
D. To describe different ways electric vehicles can be used.
11. Which is the best title for this passage
A. Driving into a Cleaner Future B. History of Electric Cars
C. Problems with Petrol and Diesel Cars D. Best Means of Transportation
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了汽油和柴油汽车虽然仍然主宰着我们的道路，但很快会被电动车辆所替代。电动汽车不产生任何排放物，随着在陆路方面的进步，电动汽车正朝着海洋和天空方向发展，而未来的车辆一定是电动时代。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“One hurdle to the widespread adoption of electric cars has been “range anxiety”—drivers’ concerns about running out of juice on a journey. (电动汽车被广泛采用的一个hurdle是“里程焦虑”——驾驶者担心在旅途中电量耗尽)”可知，“驾驶员担心在旅途中耗尽电能”是电动汽车的缺点，这是电动汽车普及的一个“问题”。由此可知，hurdle与problem意思一致。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Not that long ago, electric cars met with distrust, and their high prices drove customers away. (不久前，电动汽车遭遇了不信任，高昂的价格让消费者望而却步)”可知，过去很多人拒绝购买电动汽车是因为人们认为电动车太贵了不值得买。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“As well as development on the road, electric vehicles are taking to the seas and skies. Electric boats are among the oldest methods of electric travel, having enjoyed several decades of popularity from the late 19th to the early 20th century before petrol-powered outboard motors took over. Now, the global drive for renewable energy sources is bringing electric boats back. Steps towards electric air travel are also being made, with Airbus and NASA among the organizations developing and testing battery-powered planes. (除了在道路上的进步，电动汽车也正在走向海洋和天空。电动船是最古老的电动交通工具之一，从19世纪末到20世纪初，在汽油动力的舷外发动机接管之前，电动船已经流行了几十年。现在，全球对可再生能源的推动正在使电动船回归。电动飞机的发展也在取得进展，空客和美国国家航空航天局都在开发和测试电池驱动的飞机)”可知，电动交通工具以不同的方式出现在陆路，海上及空中。由此推知，第四段的作用是描述电动交通工具的不同的用途。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Vehicles on our roads are now mostly petrol and diesel(柴油)cars, but their days cannot continue for much longer. A recent university study found that current electric cars could be used for 87 percent of daily car journeys in the US. That figure could rise to 98 percent by 2020. (汽油和柴油车可能仍然主宰着我们的道路，但它们的日子屈指可数了。一项最近的大学研究发现，目前美国87%的日常汽车出行可以使用电动汽车。到2020年，这一数字可能上升到98%。)”和第四段中的“As well as development on the road, electric vehicles are taking to the seas and skies.(除了在公路上的发展，电动汽车正在走向海洋和天空。)”可知，汽油和柴油交通工具可能仍然主宰着我们的道路，但很快会被电动交通工具所替代，而未来的交通工具一定是更清洁的电动时代。由此可知，A项：Driving into a Cleaner Future(驶入更清洁的未来)适合作本文最佳标题。故选A。
D
5G has the potential to disrupt a huge number of industries, including one of the world’s oldest: Farming. Next-generation 5G networks can be 100 times faster than 4G, making communication between devices and servers much quicker. 5G can also carry much more data than other networks. That makes the technology ideal for transmitting information from remote sensors and drones, key tools that are being tested by farmers. 5G is also helping to automate farming processes.
UK initiative 5G RuralFirst launched a smartphone app in March called Me+Moo, which lets farmers track a “connected” cow and receive daily updates on the animal’s health and behavior. The system, which is being tested on cows at the Agri-Epi Center in Somerset, England, is funded in part by UK government and supported by the tech company Cisco (CSCO). The cows wear 5G-connected collars that send data to the app on everything from what they’re eating to how they’re sleeping. Farmers can see the information instantly. “This provides peace of mind that the cows are happy, healthy and behaving normally, as well as early warning if they are getting sick, are pregnant or need to be checked,” said project manager Duncan Forbes.
Yet to make a difference, 5G will first need to be installed in rural areas. The UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) predicts that in order to provide for the world’s rapidly rising population, the planet will need to grow 70% more food in 2050 than it did in 2009. “To respond to those demands, farmers will need new technologies to produce more from less land, with fewer hands,” reads one report from the organization.
In 2017, another 5G RuralFirst project became the first in the world to successfully plant, tend and harvest a crop without a single human stepping foot in the field. Autonomous Automatic tractors sowed the seeds, drones with sensors monitored the crops, and smaller machines took samples from fields to assess what fertilizers and pesticides to apply.
12. Why can 5G help the farming
A. Because it can carry more information.
B. Because it can be equipped with sensors.
C. Because it can disrupt a lot of industries.
D. Because it can be installed in rural areas.
13. What did farmers do firstly if they wanted to use Me+Moo
A. They founded a tech company.
B. They let the cows wear 5G-connected collars.
C. They kept cows behaving normally.
D. They made sure the cows were checked often.
14. According to FAO, how will the world solve the food problem
A. People should control the rising population.
B. People should find more and more land.
C. People should turn to the new technology.
D. People should learn to get more money.
15. How did RuralFirst decide what kind of fertilizer to apply
A. It analyzed the soil.
B. It dug earth with tractors.
C. It employed experts.
D. It hired drones with sensors.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了5G技术在农业方面的应用。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“5G can also carry much more data than other networks. That makes the technology ideal for transmitting information from remote sensors and drones, key tools that are being tested by farmers. 5G is also helping to automate farming processes.”可知，5G也能比其他网络传输更多的数据。这使得这项技术成为远程传感器和无人机传输信息的理想工具，农民们正在测试这些关键工具。5G还有助于农业生产过程的自动化。因此，5G能帮助农业是因为它可以传输更多的信息。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“UK initiative 5G RuralFirst launched a smartphone app in March called Me+Moo, which lets farmers track a "connected" cow and receive daily updates on the animal's health and behavior. The system, which is being tested on cows at the Agri﹣Epi Center in Somerset, England, is funded in part by UK government and supported by the tech company Cisco （CSCO）. The cows wear 5G﹣connected collars that send data to the app on everything from what they're eating to how they're sleeping.” 可知，英国5G RuralFirst计划于3月份推出了一款名为Me+Moo的智能手机应用程序，它可以让农民追踪一头“连接的”奶牛，并接收有关该动物健康和行为的每日更新。该系统正在英国萨默塞特的农业计划免疫中心对奶牛进行测试，部分由英国政府资助，并由这家科技公司思科（Cisco）提供支持。这些奶牛戴着5G连接的项圈，可以向应用程序发送从吃什么到睡觉的所有信息。由此可知，如果农民想使用Me+Moo，他们首先要让奶牛戴上5G连接的项圈。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The UN Food and Agriculture Organization （FAO） predicts that in order to provide for the world's rapidly rising population, the planet will need to grow 70% more food in 2050 than it did in 2009. "To respond to those demands, farmers will need new technologies to produce more from less land, with fewer hands," reads one report from the organization.”可知，联合国粮食及农业组织（FAO）预测，为了满足世界人口的快速增长，2050年地球需要种植比2009年多70%的粮食。“为了满足这些需求，农民将需要新技术，用更少的土地、更少的人手生产更多的产品”，该组织的一份报告写道。可知根据FAO，世界想要解决粮食问题应该求助于新技术。故选C。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“In 2017, another 5G RuralFirst project became the first in the world to successfully plant, tend and harvest a crop without a single human stepping foot in the field. Autonomous Automatic tractors sowed the seeds, drones with sensors monitored the crops, and smaller machines took samples from fields to assess what fertilizers and pesticides to apply.”可知，2017年，另一个5G RuralFirst项目成为世界上第一个成功种植、照料和收获作物的项目，没有一个人踏入田间。自动拖拉机播种种子，无人机用传感器监测作物，小型机器从田间采集样本，评估肥料和使用杀虫剂。因此，RuralFirst是通过分析土壤来决定施用哪种肥料的。故选A。

43. increasing
44. who 45. especially
【解析】
【导语】本文是议论文。文章主要讲述在英国，不使用网络的人的数量在上升，同时他们也会失去很多机会。
【36题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：最近的一项研究表明，在英国，不想使用网络的人的数量已经上升了。固定短语the number of表示“……的数量”的意思。故填the。
【37题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意：这些作为“网络拒绝者”而有名的人占据了英国44%的家庭，即1120万人。这里考查who后面的定语从句的一般现在时的谓语动词形式，表示“作为……而有名”用be known as表示，所以用被动结构，从句主语who指代的是先行词These people，所以be动词用复数形式are。故填are known。
【38题详解】
考查形容词。句意：研究还显示，这些人中超过70%的人说他们对上网不感兴趣。设空处在系动词get后，所以应该用形容词connected作表语。故填connected。
【39题详解】
考查介词短语。句意：这个数字已经从2005年的50%上升到现在的70%，其中大部分都是缺少许多电脑技能才不用网络的，虽然也有一些说是因为费用的原因。介词短语from…to…“从……到……”。故填from。
【40题详解】
考查名词。句意见上题。设空处应为名词做介词in的宾语，表示泛指的意思，所以用复数形式。故填skills。
【41题详解】
考查谓语。句意：越来越多的人用上了宽带，高速网络在英国几乎无处不在，但仍有很多人不愿意迈出第一步。设空处在句中作谓语，叙述客观事实，应用一般现在时，主语是high speed net，所以谓语be动词用单数形式。故填is。
【42题详解】
考查动词短语。句意：越来越多的人用上了宽带，高速网络在英国几乎无处不在，但仍有很多人不愿意迈出第一步。根据句子结构和意思可知，这里考查动词短语would like to do表示“想要做某事”。故填to take。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：随着上网费用的下降和网速的提高，许多网络拒绝者开始重新考虑连接互联网。分析句子的结构可知，设空处为“with+宾语+宾补”的结构，设空处和宾语之间是逻辑的主动关系，应用动词的现在分词的形式作宾补。故填increasing。
【44题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：如果使用网络的人和不使用网络的人之间的落差继续加大，那些没有宽带的人将被落在后面并且错过许多机会，尤其是工作上的机会。设空处引导定语从句，先行词是those，在从句中做主语，指人。故填who。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意见上题。设空处应用副词的形式做状语，修饰后面的介词短语in their work。故填especially。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“I’ve sent my resume(简历), but I haven’t received any emails or heard anything. So, I came here,” Sandra said to Mrs. Cleaver, the manager of the grocery store where she applied to work during her summer holidays.
Sandra was raised by a single mother who worked very hard but still didn’t have much to save for the 18-year-old’s future. So Sandra decided to send out resumes and work as much as possible. Usually, her mother would not allow her to work during the school year because she wanted Sandra to focus on her study. But Sandra insisted and applied at several places. However, this grocery store was the best option. It was close to her house, and her mother wouldn’t worry about her much if she was there.
“I’m sorry, child. We’re just not hiring right now,” Mrs. Cleaver said.
“Please, I’ll do everything. I can work part-time or full-time, and I can do anything that others don’t want to do. I’m also pretty strong, though I look skinny,” Sandra explained eagerly. Mrs. Cleaver gave her a knowing smile. Sandra explained that she wanted to save money for medical school, and Mrs. Cleaver finally nodded.
“Can you start working today ” Mrs. Cleaver asked. Sandra almost hurt her neck while nodding fiercely. She was excited. Mrs. Cleaver took her in the back and gave her a vest and a broom. Her first assignment was to sweep the dirt and leaves. Sandra did it without complaint. Mrs. Cleaver then assigned her to clean the bathrooms, which was a rougher request. But Sandra didn’t complain and kept her word. Eventually, Sandra started getting all the dirty and heavy tasks other employees hated. She did everything gladly for everyone, no matter how difficult and tiring the task was. Mrs. Cleaver liked her attitude and took note of it. In a world where young people of her age wanted to become Internet stars, it was nice to see someone enjoy honest hard work.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Mrs. Cleaver spoke to the store owner Ronald about Sandra.

Learning that Ronald allowed her to apply for a scholarship, Sandra couldn’t believe her ears.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
Mrs. Cleaver spoke to the store owner Ronald about Sandra. Deeply touched by Sandra’s enormous capacity for hard work, Ronald decided to offer this diligent girl an opportunity to apply for his Education Foundation. “Your story reminds me of the days when I was young, doing the tough work and striving for my dream. And I really hope I can do something to make your dream come true,” said Ronald genuinely. “That is so nice of you to give me such a great chance,” Sandra thanked Ronald with her hands trembling, tears brimming in her eyes.
Paragraph 2:
Learning that Ronald allowed her to apply for a scholarship, Sandra couldn’t believe her ears. She dashed to Mrs. Cleaver to confirm whether it was a dream. “No. It’s a dream coming true,” beamed Mrs. Cleaver, casting her an encouraging look. Finally, luck befell this ill-fated but optimistic girl. After a few weeks, she was provided with a full scholarship for her medical school. After the despairing darkness finally came broad daylight. Odds might not be in our favor sometimes, but as long as we hold on with resilience, misfortune can be a blessing in disguise.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。主要讲述了Sandra为了挣学费申请在一家杂货店里工作，Mrs. Cleaver是这家店的经理。但是杂货店不需要工人，Sandra乞求Mrs. Cleaver让自己在店里打工，说自己什么都能干，并解释说她想为医学院存钱，最终Mrs. Cleaver同意她在店里工作，Sandra努力工作没有任何怨言，Mrs. Cleaver很喜欢她的工作态度。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“Mrs. Cleaver跟店主Ronald谈过Sandra的事。”可知，第一段可描写 Sandra的努力打动了店主，店主决定为她申请教育基金会，让她实现自己的梦想。
②由第二段首句内容“得知Ronald允许她申请奖学金，Sandra简直不敢相信自己的耳朵。”可知，第二段可描写Sandra不敢相信这是真的，但是Mrs. Cleaver鼓励她，告诉她这是真的，最终Sandra获得了医学院的全额奖学金。

Carol-Anne O’Callaghan, a former teacher from Great Missenden, Buckinghamshire, has fought hard to protect ancient oaks near her home, which she says are home to rare bats.
In February 2021, O’Callaghan was walking her dogs when she spotted yellow dots stuck on some of the 99 oak trees in a narrow country lane close to her home. The dots indicated trees marked for destruction. After she learned the trees would be felled as part of the HS2 high-speed railway works, she called the HS2 helpline and was told there was nothing that could be done as an over-road would be built. She gets choked up remembering the moment she realized many of them were to be cut down.
O’Callaghan loves that ancient line of oaks. They were planted in the 19th century. “My family and I would picnic under them,” she says, “climb them, have rope swings on them. The trees are amazing and beautiful and meant so much.” One of the last photos of her mother, taken shortly before she died, was of her sitting in a swing in their branches.
She noticed that on the other side of the lane, to the north, there were no ancient oaks. So she began campaigning to save the trees. With the help of her daughter, Blaize, she started a petition(请愿书), which went on to get nearly 43,000 signatures. “I saw someone passionate about giving a voice to those who don’t have one, someone not afraid of asking questions and calling out large, daunting businesses for doing the wrong thing,” says her neighbour Victoria.
Buckinghamshire Council has got involved, and the felling is paused. A final decision has yet to be made about the proposed over-road. “We’re optimistic that they’ll hear our argument and take the ecology of the lane into account,” says O’Callaghan. “We want them to put in a green crossing in the gaps between trees, for the bats, and we’d like the place to become a conservation area. For the trees and the bats—this is what we are fighting for!”
4. What did the yellow dots on the oaks indicate
A. These oaks would be cut down. B. The narrow lane would be widened.
C. Rare bats would get protected. D. A railway station would be built.
5. Why does O’Callaghan have deep feelings of the oaks
A. Due to the oaks’ long history. B. Due to the natural beauty.
C. Due to the precious memories. D. Due to the diverse wildlife.
6. What kind of person is O’Callaghan
A. Creative. B. Humorous. C. Generous. D. Enthusiastic.
7. What is a direct result of O’Callaghan’s efforts
A. The ecology is being improved.
B. The felling has been put off.
C. The Council canceled the proposal.
D. The area becomes a reserve.
C
Vehicles on our roads are now mostly petrol and diesel (柴油) cars, but their days cannot continue for much longer. A recent university study found that current electric cars could be used for 87 percent of daily car journeys in the US. That figure could rise to 98 percent by 2024.
One hurdle to the widespread adoption of electric cars has been “range anxiety” — drivers’ concerns about running out of electricity on a journey. While petrol stations are conveniently located across national road systems, the necessary network of electric charging stations is still being developed. That said, charging points are becoming increasingly common throughout the USA.
Attitudes towards electric vehicles have changed greatly over the last few years. Not that long ago, electric cars were met with distrust, and their high prices drove customers away. Thanks to improvements in battery capacity, recharging times, performance and price, the current generation of electric cars are starting to persuade picky consumers.
As well as development on the road, electric vehicles are taking to the seas and skies. Electric boats are among the oldest methods of electric travel, having enjoyed several decades of popularity from the late 19th to the early 20th century before petrol-powered outboard motors took over. Now, the global drive for renewable energy sources is bringing electric boats back. Steps towards electric air travel are also being made, with Airbus and NASA among the organizations developing and testing battery-powered planes.
Electric vehicles do not produce any emissions (排放). If the US could replace 87 percent of its cars with electric vehicles, it would reduce the national demand for petrol by 61 percent. That said, as many countries continue to increase their use of renewable energy sources, electric vehicles will become even cleaner.
8. What does the underlined word “hurdle” in Paragraph 2 probably means
A. Aim. B. Problem. C. Result. D. Step.
9. Why did many people refuse to buy the electric cars in the past
A. They were dependable. B. They were not widely promoted.
C. They were expensive. D. They couldn’t travel at a high speed.
10. What is the function of Paragraph 4
A. To introduce the history of electric travel.
B. To explain why the world needs more electric cars.
C. To show why more people have interest in electric cars.
D. To describe different ways electric vehicles can be used.
11. Which is the best title for this passage
A. Driving into a Cleaner Future B. History of Electric Cars

5G has the potential to disrupt a huge number of industries, including one of the world’s oldest: Farming. Next-generation 5G networks can be 100 times faster than 4G, making communication between devices and servers much quicker. 5G can also carry much more data than other networks. That makes the technology ideal for transmitting information from remote sensors and drones, key tools that are being tested by farmers. 5G is also helping to automate farming processes.
UK initiative 5G RuralFirst launched a smartphone app in March called Me+Moo, which lets farmers track a “connected” cow and receive daily updates on the animal’s health and behavior. The system, which is being tested on cows at the Agri-Epi Center in Somerset, England, is funded in part by UK government and supported by the tech company Cisco (CSCO). The cows wear 5G-connected collars that send data to the app on everything from what they’re eating to how they’re sleeping. Farmers can see the information instantly. “This provides peace of mind that the cows are happy, healthy and behaving normally, as well as early warning if they are getting sick, are pregnant or need to be checked,” said project manager Duncan Forbes.
Yet to make a difference, 5G will first need to be installed in rural areas. The UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) predicts that in order to provide for the world’s rapidly rising population, the planet will need to grow 70% more food in 2050 than it did in 2009. “To respond to those demands, farmers will need new technologies to produce more from less land, with fewer hands,” reads one report from the organization.
In 2017, another 5G RuralFirst project became the first in the world to successfully plant, tend and harvest a crop without a single human stepping foot in the field. Autonomous Automatic tractors sowed the seeds, drones with sensors monitored the crops, and smaller machines took samples from fields to assess what fertilizers and pesticides to apply.
12. Why can 5G help the farming
A. Because it can carry more information.
B. Because it can be equipped with sensors.
C. Because it can disrupt a lot of industries.
D. Because it can be installed in rural areas.
13. What did farmers do firstly if they wanted to use Me+Moo
A. They founded a tech company.
B. They let the cows wear 5G-connected collars.
C. They kept cows behaving normally.
D. They made sure the cows were checked often.
14. According to FAO, how will the world solve the food problem
A. People should control the rising population.
B. People should find more and more land.
C. People should turn to the new technology.
D. People should learn to get more money.
15. How did RuralFirst decide what kind of fertilizer to apply
A. It analyzed the soil.
B. It dug earth with tractors.
C. It employed experts.
D. It hired drones with sensors.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“I’ve sent my resume(简历), but I haven’t received any emails or heard anything. So, I came here,” Sandra said to Mrs. Cleaver, the manager of the grocery store where she applied to work during her summer holidays.
Sandra was raised by a single mother who worked very hard but still didn’t have much to save for the 18-year-old’s future. So Sandra decided to send out resumes and work as much as possible. Usually, her mother would not allow her to work during the school year because she wanted Sandra to focus on her study. But Sandra insisted and applied at several places. However, this grocery store was the best option. It was close to her house, and her mother wouldn’t worry about her much if she was there.
“I’m sorry, child. We’re just not hiring right now,” Mrs. Cleaver said.
“Please, I’ll do everything. I can work part-time or full-time, and I can do anything that others don’t want to do. I’m also pretty strong, though I look skinny,” Sandra explained eagerly. Mrs. Cleaver gave her a knowing smile. Sandra explained that she wanted to save money for medical school, and Mrs. Cleaver finally nodded.
“Can you start working today ” Mrs. Cleaver asked. Sandra almost hurt her neck while nodding fiercely. She was excited. Mrs. Cleaver took her in the back and gave her a vest and a broom. Her first assignment was to sweep the dirt and leaves. Sandra did it without complaint. Mrs. Cleaver then assigned her to clean the bathrooms, which was a rougher request. But Sandra didn’t complain and kept her word. Eventually, Sandra started getting all the dirty and heavy tasks other employees hated. She did everything gladly for everyone, no matter how difficult and tiring the task was. Mrs. Cleaver liked her attitude and took note of it. In a world where young people of her age wanted to become Internet stars, it was nice to see someone enjoy honest hard work.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Mrs. Cleaver spoke to the store owner Ronald about Sandra.

Learning that Ronald allowed her to apply for a scholarship, Sandra couldn’t believe her ears.
