minds.Under the guidance of their teacher Angela Eyth,they’ve created a productive garden.“The kids are in charge of everything,” Eyth says.Eyth and her students launched the gardening project in 2020 after the teacher attended a conference on how to include lessons about farming in the classroom.Then came the garden.With 16 acres of school district-owned land around their building,there was plenty of room.The project is now two years old,and goes beyond planting and growing:Eyth and her fellow educators structure lessons in science,math and more around their garden.“When we grew cabbages my students noticed something was eating the leaves,” Eyth recalls.“This led to an investigation on figuring out what was eating it and how to stop it:the kids analyzed the evidence they found and acted as engineers in creating ways to keep insects out of the cabbage beds.In the 4th grade,we let the students outside to estimate the number of bean pods (豆荚) they find.” Eyth continues,“People think gardening should be separate from core subjects but it’s far from the truth.The kids’ curiosity keeps it rolling.”The kids also keep the produce rolling—So much so that with a $70,000 donation from Remake Learning/Grable Foundation,they’re using that money to build a greenhouse at their school.The funds help them launch an outdoor classroom and open a farm stand at Broad Street that brings fresh fruits,vegetables,herbs and more to an area of their community where affordable fresh produce is hard to find there.Such areas are often called “food deserts.”“Our students discover the value of sharing their harvest with the community surrounding nearby Broad Street Elementary School,” says Eyth.“They’re so proud of what we’re doing here.”4.What is the purpose of the project?A.To prepare

ofTuscia,Roflight,Lemselobrink and the Royal Netherlands Air Force has designed,built and tested a robot named RobotFalcon fashioned to look and fly like a peregrine falcon(游隼)as a means of driving off flocks(群)of birds around airports.Birds,whether alone or in flocks,are a menace to flying planes.When a plane strikes a bird,damage will be caused—occasionally with disastrous results.The plane that famouslylanded on the Hudson River in 2009,for example,was damaged by birds entering the plane’s engines accidentally,causing their failure.Scientists have been working on ways to prevent birds from entering flight spaces but thus far have met with only partial success.Currently drones(无人机) are used to scare birds away,just as trained falcons and systems that make sounds of birds in great pain.In this new effort,the researchers took a new approach—they designed a remote-controlled flying robot just like a peregrine falcon that catches and kills other birds,which therefore try to avoid it.The result is the RobotFalcon,which is painted to look like a real peregrine falcon and is powered by an internal engine.To capably copy the flying patterns of a falcon,the researchers studied the flying characteristics of real birds and then added features to their robot bird that would allow it to fly in similar ways.During field tests,the robot bird scared away entire flocks of birds within five minutes of arrival:on half of these flights,it was able to clear the field within 70 seconds.The team conducted multiple tests with the same flock of birds over three months and found no habituation—they were afraid of it no matter how often they saw it.8.What does the underlined word “menace” in paragraph 2 mean?A.Wonder.B.Threat.C.Limit.D.Target.9.Which of the following has been used to scare birds away?A.Selected wild falcons.B.Drones in the shape of birds.C.Systems producing birds’ bitter cries.D.Specially designed plane engines.10.What contributes to the researchers selecting a peregrine falcon for their design?A.It is scary.B.It can be easily caught.C.It is typical in Roflight.D.It has unique flying patterns.11.Why was the robot tested repeatedly with the same flock of birds?A.To predict its service life.B.To improve its efficiency.C.To work out a service schedule.D.To measure its long-term effectiveness.答案：考点分类练(一)细节理解题(1)Passage1[语篇解读]本文是一篇应用文。

一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解While small may be beautiful, tall is just plain uncomfortable it seems, particularly when it comes to staying in hotels and eating in restaurants.The Tall Persons Club Great Britain (TPCGB), which was formed six months ago to campaign for the needs of the tall, has turned its attention to hotels and restaurants. Beds that are too small, shower heads that are too low, and restaurant tables with hardly any leg-room all make life difficult for those of above average height, it says.But it is not just the extra-tall whose needs are not being met. The average height of the population has been increasing yet the standard size of beds, doorways, and chairs has remained unchanged."The bedding industry says a bed should be six inches larger than the person using it, so even a king-size bed at 6′6″ (6 feet and 6 inches) is falling short for 25% of men, while the standard 6′3″ bed caters for less than half of the male population." Said TPCGB president Phil Heinricy, "seven-foot beds would work fine."Similarly, restaurant tables can cause no end of problems. Small tables, which mean the long-legged have to sit a foot or so away from them, are enough to make tall customers go elsewhere.Some have already taken note, ho wever. At Queens Moat Houses′ Caledoman Hotel in Edinburgh, 6′6″ beds are now put in as standard after requests for longer beds from taller visitors, particularly Americans.（1）What is the purpose of the TPCGB campaign?A. To provide better services.B. To rebuild hotels and restaurants.C. To draw public attention to the needs of the tall.D. To attract more people to become its members.（2）Which of the following might be a bed of proper length according to Phil Heinricy? A. 7′2″. B. 7′ C. 6′6″ D. 6′3″（3）What may happen to restaurants with small tables?A. They may lose some customers.B. They may start businesses elsewhere.C. They have to find easy chairs to match the tables.D. They have to provide enough space for the long-legged.（4）What change has already been made in a hotel in Edinburgh?A. Tall people pay more for larger beds.B. 6′6″beds have taken the place of 6′3″beds.C. Special rooms are kept for Americans.D. Guest rooms are standardized.【答案】（1）C（2）B（3）A（4）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述一个英国的高个子组织TPCGP在六个月以前向宾馆和酒店发起的针对高个子的一些特殊需求的活动。

阅读表达（2021·湖南卷·阅读简答）Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to information given in the passage.A wise teacher once told me t hat every teenager needs to experience a not-so-fun first job from working at a grocery store to the fast food industry.Now I still remember my first day at a fast food restaurant three years ago. I wanted to save up money and buy my own car, so I applied everywhere I could that summer. The restaurant called me right away and I thought to myself, this is going to be easy. Within four hours of my first shift(轮班), I had angry customers who complained how slow I was. I watched in fear as a kid spilled his milk everywhere, and I heard the words that no 16-year-old boy or anyone for that matter wants to hear: “Mike, there’s a problem in the men’s bathroom and you might want gloves for this one.” I realized right away that working at the restaurant was not going to be a picnic. The manager expected a clean environment and, particularly, fast service with a friendly smile.Over three years later I still work at that restaurant whenever I go home during vacations. I love my co-workers there and all the customers know who I am. Every morning the same senior citizens come in and get their morning coffees. They chat with us workers and joke around. Our smiles have just as much to do with them making us a part of their everyday lives as the coffee does.From my first job at the restaurant, I learned teamwork and devotion. I alsolearned staying positive no matter how rough things seem to get. I will forever carry the experience that I gained at the restaur ant with me as I go forward in my life.81. Why did the author apply everywhere that summer? (No more than 12 words) (2 marks)He wanted to save up money and buy his own car.82. What did the manager particularly expect the workers to do?

What did the author learn from his first job?(No more than 11 words) (3 marks)He learned teamwork, devotion and staying positive in rough situations.81.【解析】由第二段中的第二句话I wanted to save up money and buy my own car, soI applied everywhere I could that summer.可知答案。
