The hard work started before daybreak and lasted well into the blistering heat of the afternoon. To get out of there, she was going to get an education.Her parents tried to save some money to send her to college, but unexpected bills kept hitting the fund. Then a teacher announced that the state was going to give a college scholarship to the two top students from her year. Finally, West got the scholarship, allowing her to attend Virginia State College, a historically black university.West decided to major in mathematics because it was a well-respected subject. It was largely studied by men, but she didn’t take much notice of them as she knew deep in her heart that nothing was getting in her way. After graduating, she became a teacher. A few years later, she returned to the university and earned a master’s degree in mathematics. Then she was offered a job at a naval base in Dahlgren, Virginia. This made her only the second black woman to be hired to work as a programmer at the base.Despite her intellectual abilities and career success, West felt she was inferior. It was this feeling, deeply rooted and felt, by many African Americans that drove her to work as hard as she could. West determined to commit herself to her work, hoping that by doing it to the best of her ability, she could get recognition for her work.West did just that. In 1979, she became project manager for the Seasat project, the first satellite that could monitor the oceans. She programmed an IBM 7030 Stretch computer, providing faster calculations for an accurate Earthmodel. This detailed mathematical model of the shape of the Earth was a building block for what would become the GPS orbit. In 1998, aged 68, she intended to focus on her PhD after retirement. She eventually finished her graduation thesis and gained her PhD in public administration and policy affairs in 2000 at the age of 70.4．What helps Gladys West to go to the university?A．Her teacher’s aiding her.B．Her parents’ paying for the expenses.C．Her family background.D．The scholarship from the government.5．What can we infer from the text?A．West got all her degrees after retirement.B．Men dominated maths field in West’s days.C．Black women scientists ' talent was fully appreciated.D．When she began to work, West felt she was superior to others.6．What does the underlined phrase “a building block” in paragraph 5 mean?A．A basic part.B．A detailed map.C．A building material.D．A major obstacle.7．What kind of person is Gladys West?A．Helpful and serious.B．Honest and hardworking.C．Ambitious and committed.D．Considerate and devoted.The success of many North American crops partly depends on ground beetles, small insects that eat pests and weed seeds that could otherwise damage crops. But a new study by researchers in the U. S. and Canada suggests not all of the nearly 2,000 species of ground beetles found in North America will survive climate change. Some could decline. And that could have a far-reaching impact on agriculture, forestry, and conservation.By analyzing data on 136 different ground beetle species across continental North America, Puerto Rico and Hawaii, the researchers found that a species’ chance of success in a changing climate depends on several important factors, such as its habitat preference, body size, and whether it flies, climbs or runs. “We found that less mobile, nonflying ground beetles, which are critical pest control agents, are more likely to decline over time in a warmer, dryer climate,” said Tong Qiu, who led the study. “That means you’re going to have more pests that can impact agricultural and forest ecosystems.” But there is reason for hope, Qiu added, because the analysis also showed that habitat conservation can lessen these effects and reverse the trends in some areas.“We hope conservation biologists will use this information and the online map that we created to better manage habitats for insects in general. Ground beetles are very beneficial to ecosystems, but they’re largely invisible to the average person. In this paper we’re showing the broad impacts they have on whole communities in forested and agricultural ecosystems,” said Qiu.The researchers used ground beetle count data from the National Science Foundation’sNational Ecological Observatory Network(NEON)and from 11 previously published studies to measure and map the beetles’ distribution across North America. Habitat information, such as the location of gap s in forest canopies and the density of plants on a forest floor, was obtained by using NEON’s imaging instruments to create detailed three-dimensional images of landscapes. They then entered the data collected into a computer model to simulate(模拟)climate changes to study how the insects would respond.8．What does the new study in North America show?A．Pests could destroy crops.B．Some ground beetles will not survive a climate change.C．The survival of ground beetles only depends on its habitat.D．Some ground beetles will destroy crops in a warmer climate.9．What does Tong Qiu intend to convey in paragraphs 2 and 3?A．There is no way to stop the decline of ground beetles.B．Critical pests are more adaptable in a warmer, drier climate.C．Ground beetles will become less mobile in a warmer climate.D．The importance of ground beetles should be widely recognized.10．How did the research team carry out the study?A．By analyzing data.B．By studying documents.C．By doing field research.D．By performing experiments.11．What can be the best title for the text?A．North American Agriculture Crops at RiskB．A Catastrophic Climate Change on the WayC．Crop-saving Beetles under Climate ThreatD．New Breakthrough in Biodiversity ResearchScience is a process that builds upon existing theories and knowledge by continuously revising them. Every aspect of scientific knowledge can be questioned, including the general rules of thinking that appear to be most certain. So why is science trustworthy if it is always changing? If tomorrow we will no longer see the world as Newton or Einstein found it to be, why should we take seriously today’s scientific description of the world?The answer is simple: Because at any given moment of our history, this description of the world is the best we have. The fact that it can be made better can’t diminish (降低) the fact that it is a useful instrument for understanding the world.Consider a folk healer’s herbal medicine. Can we say this treatment is “scientific”? Yes, if it is proven to be effective, even if we have no idea why it works. In fact, quite a few common medications used today have their origin in folk treatments, and we are still not sure how they work. This does not imply that folk treatments are generally effective. To the contrary, many of them are not. What distinguishes scientific medicine is the readiness to seriously test a treatment and to be ready to change our minds if something is shown not to work. A research doctor in a modern hospital must be ready to change his theory if a more effective way of understanding illness, or treating it, becomes available.What makes modern science uniquely powerful is its refusal to believe that it already possesses ultimate truth. The reliability of science is based not on certainty but on a complete absence of certainty. As John Stuart Mill wrote in “On Liberty” in 1859, “The beliefs which we have most warrant (依据) for, have no safeguard to rest on, but a standing invitation to the whole world to prove them unfounded.”12．Why does the author raise the two questions in paragraph 1?A．To add some fun.B．To express doubts.C．To introduce the topic.D．To provide background.13．What can we learn about today’s scientific description of the world?A．It can be timeless.B．It can be improved.C．It is of little value.D．It is the best at any moment.14．What is the author’s attitude toward folk treatment?A．Dismissive.B．Objective.C．Pessimistic.D．Sympathetic. 15．What is the main idea of paragraph 4?A．It is unwise to believe in science.B．Too much uncertainty lies in science.C．The foundation of science is unfounded.D．The lack of certainty makes science credible.There are hundreds of worthy destinations in the country catering to all tastes. At the top of that list is Chengdu, the perfect jumping-off point for those in search of a mix of stunning natural scenery, wildlife and some of most incredible food on the planet. In recent years the city has expanded its offerings, including a number of new projects tourists will want to experience. 16 It’s the happiest city in China.If visiting a place with happy locals is a priority for you, there’s no better city to hit than Chengdu. It has been voted the happiest city in China for 12 continuous years by an annual survey conducted by Oriental Outlook. 17It has got one most beautiful bookstore in China.The new location in Dujiangyan is the second Zhongshuge bookstore in the provincial capital. 18 Inspired by Dujiangyan’s ancient irrigation system, the new bookstore has its own features. The beautiful environment of the bookstore can attract more people who do not love books, and awaken their interest and memory in reading.There’s a spectacular new massive airport.One of the world’s most eye-catching new airports, Chengdu’s Tianfu International Airport is as modern as it gets. Beginning operations in 2021, Thantu Airport is the largest civil airport.19 Travelers can experience a series of cutting-edge technologies at Tianfu, including facial recognition software and self-check-in booth.20There’re plans to turn Chengdu into a “Western China Science City”. Travelers visiting the “Science City” can expect to see many examples of eco-conscious and new wave architecture created by some of the most famous firms in the world. Among these is the world’s first “Unicorn Island”, the country’s next high-tech unicorn. There will also be a low-carbon Future Science and Technology City.A．The arts scene is taking off.B．It’s also a city focused on the future.C．There’s no harm in starting to dream about your next visit now.D．It’s expected to handle up to 60 million passengers per year by 2025.E．Its results combine big data, questionnaires, site visits and expert opinions.F．The first, which opened in 2017 in central Chengdu, is modeled after terrace fields.G．Whether you’re dreaming of business travel or just post-pandemic trip, here are some reasons.二、完形填空Recently, a 70-year-old woman has won hearts with her energetic workouts on Douyin--a social networking video platform, also known globally as TikTok, where men and women commonly show their working out or share 21 tips.Trying to stand out from the crowd amid the floods of such videos can often be difficult, but a/an 22 new account, which has only been active since last year, has 23 to do so easily.The fitness instructor behind this account is not a young woman with a slim, well-built24 that would leave viewers green with 25 .The star here is 70-year-old Chen Jifang,a Shanghai resident with 3 million likes on her Douyin videos.

江西省上进联考2024-2025学年高三上学期10月月考英语试题一、阅读理解It’s 124 years since Europe’s first long- distance footpath was opened, and you can dip in and out of almost every route for a hike.Hadrian’s Wall Path, EnglandHadrian’s Wall is Britain’s finest Roman monument and to understand how iron- willed people will be to finish such an achievement, you have to sweat over the same hills as the Roman emperor’s soldiers would have done along this 84-mile footpath. Reaching the wall’s western end, you may find yourself sharing the beach next to some cows sitting on its sands.The Pembrokeshire Coast Path, WalesThe 186- mile seaside hike offers the same mix of cliff tops, beaches and secret caves that you’ll find on England’s famous 630-mile South West Coast Path. Most memorable of all is the wildlife, which is often easy to spot from the path. Spend a couple of weeks walking its full length, and you’ll have a keen sense that Britain’s coastline is filled with life.The Tour du Mont Blanc, FranceMont Blanc is western Europe’s tallest mountain. Walking around it on this 103-mile route at a measured pace and with a couple of rest days, it’ll take nearly two weeks to get round it. However, the route is conveniently divided into 11 sections, plus public transport and cable cars can also be used to skip certain sections for a shorter hiking adventure.Kaiserkrone, Austria This most popular Alpine hike isn’t short of scenery. As you walk its five stages totalling 36 miles, you’ll dip into fragrant pine forests and cross Alpine meadows. There’s a memorable range of accommodation on offer, from the mid- mountain Gruttenhutte down to the Gasthof Griesenau in the valley.1．What will impress hikers most at Hadrian’s Wall Path?A．The memorable wildlife.B．The fragrant pine forests.C．The ancient Roman monument.D．The handy public transport.2．Which of the four hikes covers the longest distance?A．Kaiserkrone.B．Hadrian’s Wall Path.C．The Tour du Mont Blanc.D．The Pembrokeshire Coast Path.3．What is special about Kaiserkrone?A．It provides accommodation in some parts.B．It has vehicles for short hiking experience.C．It has some of England’s best secret caves.D．It reminds people of the greatness of Romans.At 6:00 am, I stepped out of my car into the July heat in Houston, Texas. At fifty- three, I’d train for my first half- marathon as my plan to build friendships in an unknown city!Houston was quite a change from Southern California, where I grew up. I had bravely faced my husband’s job transfer, but my future no longer consisted of PTA meetings, team mom activities and my children’s high school social functions. What would each day look like?The answer arrived when Annie, a runner in the neighborhood, phoned and asked me to join the local chapter of USA Fit. I was hoping she would hear the disinterest in my voice, but Annie didn’t give up easily. That day Annie’s plan succeeded. So I joined her. We were divided into groups according to marathon or half-marathon, and pace. I had a group and friends!From the first day, four women with experience, Diane, Karen, Jill, and Betsy, never left my side. When fall arrived, I came to believe I could actually walk the half- marathon at the required rapid pace. My confidence grew from strict preparation and our courage. The training schedule was taped to my kitchen wall. But with the realization that only the final week remained, panic set in. It came from a place deep inside, from insecurity and the realization that I might not be up to the challenge. But we cheered and held on.My target had simply been to finish the half- marathon. At some crazy point, I decided to complete the race in less than three hours. The last mile was nearly intolerable. Our pace had been much quicker than during training. Luckily, the final stretch was bursting with enthusiasm from the crowded sidewalks.Six months of preparation finished with one step over a thin black line. Enthusiastic volunteers, who had been so generous with their time, placed medals around our necks. I felt the shiny ribbon with an overwhelming sense of accomplishment. At that moment, I realized I had become part of my new community.4．Why did the author move to Houston?A．She moved there for retirement.B．She wanted to join her friends.C．Her husband got a new job there.D．Her children were transferred there. 5．What was the author’s initial reaction to Annie’s call?A．She showed no interest in running marathon.B．She was eager to join Annie forconnections.C．She wore a confused look at the invitation.D．She pretended to be uninterested in the idea.6．What did the author worry about during the last week of training?A．Her chance of winning a prize.B．The lack of good safety measures.C．Her ability to finish the marathon.D．The intensity of her training schedule. 7．What can be inferred about the author from the last paragraph?A．She generously helped other runners.B．She felt a sense of belonging in running.C．She formed friendship with the volunteers.D．She beat other runners by running one step faster.In data from different countries, patients examined by female doctors seem to recover better than those checked up by male ones. One of the first studies to examine the issue was published in 2017 by experts from Harvard Medical School. The authors analysed the medical records of around 1.5 million older adults hospitalised in America between 2011 and 2014. They found patients whose primary treatment had been performed by a female doctor were 4% less likely to die or to be readmitted to hospital in the following 30 days, than those whose primary doctor was a man.Later in 2017, another study by a separate group of Canadian and American researchers searched for similar trends following surgery. They examined the outcomes of 100,000 patients who had operations in Ontario between 2007 and 2015, and found the same results.Since then, other studies have made similar claims. One drawback with the studies is that they all look back at naturally occurring data. It could be, for example, that female doctors tend to be assigned healthier patients than their male colleagues. In an experiment where patients were randomly assigned to doctors, any such links would be broken, says Gavin Stewart, an expert at Newcastle University.Researchers say the next step is to work out why. Past research has found that femaledoctors tend to spend more time with patients, are more likely to provide preventive care and tend to stick more closely to clinical guidelines than their male colleagues do. This could downplay the risk of preventable deaths.The benefits of having a female physician app ear to be greatest for female patients. Part of the explanation may be that female physicians understand the needs of female patients better than their male peers. Whatever the gender of their physician, though, female patients seem to respond more actively to doctors than male patients do. This is another divide in need of consideration.Understanding such differences in care will help all doctors improve their practice. For all the good that advanced medical equipment and new drugs can do, a physician’s judgment seems to be as important as ever.8．What can we know about the patients treated by female doctors in 2017 studies?A．They suffered a lot in surgery.B．They were more likely to be ill again.C．They were given extra care in hospital.D．They had better recovery after treatment. 9．What does Gavin think is the drawback of the studies?A．Their results didn’t apply to all the situations.B．The doctors varied in their experience and skills.C．There were no data of the condition of the doctors.D．The studies didn’t follow the patients long enough.10．What does the underlined word “downplay” in paragraph 4 mean?A．Boost.B．Reduce.C．Remove.D．Pose.11．What accounts for good treatment of female patients according to Para.5?A．The doctors’ professional knowledge.B．The doctors’ will to take care of them.C．Their fast adjustment to the conditions.D．Their better cooperation with doctors.The northern bald ibis (隐鹮) once flying over North Africa and much of Europe disappeared from Europe by the 17th century. But raising and rewilding efforts over the last 20 years helped the bird population grow. However, the birds don’t know which direction to fly to migrate without the guidance of wild-born birds.In 2002, Waldrappteam, a conservation and research group based in Austria, stepped in to help. Scientists at Waldrappteam raise the birds and teach them how to fly to warmer areas. Fritzand the Waldrappteam have increased the number of northern bald ibis in Central Europe from zero to almost300 since the start of their project in 2002.In their attempt to reintroduce the continentally extinct migratory bird species, his team found one problem. Humans have led the birds now for 17 years to warm places like Tuscany, Italy. But due to climate change, when released, the birds raised by humans flew in that direction and would die in winter. They have had to help the birds change the route to a winter home in southern Spain.To prepare them for travel, the humans begin working with the baby birds. The foster parent humans want the birds to connect with them so they will trust them along the migration route. They then sit on the back of a small aircraft, waving and cheering for the birds as they fly.Fritz knew his work would be possible because he saw the work of Canadian naturalist Lishman. Lishman taught Canadian geese to fly alongside his small plane. Fritz’s team efforts have worked. The first bird independently migrated back to Bavaria from Tuscany in 2011. Earlier this month from an airfield in upper Bavaria, the team guided 36 birds along one stage through blue skies and a wind from behind them that increased their speed. Fritz said the effort is bigger than just the northern bald ibises. He hopes the group’s work offers a possibility for helping other threatened migratory species to fly.12．What has been done in the last 20 years to save the northern bald ibises?A．Freeing them into the wild at birth.B．Raising and putting them into the wild.C．Training them to find food in the wild.D．Improving environmental issues for them. 13．What did Fritz and his team find about migrating bald ibises?A．They had no sense of direction by nature.B．They suffered in winter for lack of shelter.C．Many of them were hunted on their routes.D．Their former migrating destination became cold.14．What’s the importance of the team’s work according to Fritz?A．Feeding endangered species and returning them to nature.B．Studying the impact of climate change on bird migration.C．Offering possible ways to help other endangered species to migrate.D．Raising people’s awareness of promoting those endangered species.15．What does the text mainly talk about?A．Flying routes of the migratory birds.B．Humans’ efforts to guide birds to migrate.C．The increase in the population of bald ibis.D．Migratory bird species suffering climate change.Research indicates that evening exercises can extend sleep by an average of 27 minutes without affecting sleep quality. The study contrasts with traditional guidelines. 16 Current recommendations discourage intense exercise before going to bed, believing that it increases body temperature and heart rate. 17 To explore whether activities have any impact on sleep, the researchers recruited 30 non-smokers, aged 18 to 40, to their study. Each participant completed two 4- hour sessions in a controlled laboratory environment on the same day of the week, starting at around 17:00 pm-17:30 pm. 18 In the other, they did 3 minutes of simple exercise every 30 minutes over the 4-hour period. Afterward, participants returned to their normal, real- life environment.The results, which are based on 28 participants, show that after the activity breaks, participants slept for an additional 27 minutes on average, compared with long-time sitting. What’s more, there were no significant differences in sleep efficiency, indicating that activity breaks didn’t harm subsequent sleep.19 For example, the study involved a small number of participants. Additionally, conducted in a laboratory setting, it may not reflect real- life behavior. 20 The researchers say they’ll involve larger numbers of people in their normal home environment, and for a longer period.However, these results add to a growing body of evidence that indicates evening exercise does not disrupt sleep quality, despite current sleep recommendations to the contrary. A．Further studies are therefore needed.B．They advise against intense pre- sleep exercise.C．Such increases can result in poorer sleep quality.D．In one session, participants remained seated for 4 hours.E．There’s abundant evidence for us to change our habits a bit.F．The researchers acknowledge various limitations to their findings.G．Evening regular activity breaks extend sleep time in healthy adults.二、完形填空In Kent, Washington, three 11-year-old girls displayed courage and quick thinking, stopping a 21 kidnapping (绑架) of their six-year-old neighbor. At an apartment around 8:18 pm, an ice cream truck attracted numerous children to the area. The three preteens noticed an adult man 22 the wrist of their young neighbor.

It has made history in Mexico. Having studied in the institution’s law school for five years, she received her law degree from Universidad Autonoma de Zacatecas.In Mexico, there is no bar exam—getting a law degree is enough to be a lawyer. However, rather than defending people in the court of law, Espino aims to use her legal knowledge to improve conditions for people with disabilities.For Espino, becoming a lawyer was a long-time dream. Espino grew up with a strong family network including her parents and three siblings (兄弟姐妹), which has been the foundation of her educational and professional careers. In the classroom, she also received helpful accommodations to enter high school like being able to study independently for the entrance exam.After graduating, Espino applied for a university and stood out in the admission exam. However, the school’s headmaster refused her application despite her excellent grades in the exam, because the school lacked the conditions for a person with Down syndrome.Moved by her determined spirit, a professor offered to help Espino. Throughout her five years of college, the teacher accompanied Espino to all of her classes, helped her study, and prepared her for exams.Espino’s career as an advocate for people with disabilities predates (早于) her pursuing a degree. She often shares her story to bring light to people with disabilities. She is also a talented artist, holding several exhibitions.As for the future, Espino has a very clear image of what she wants to achieve. She said, “I am fanatical about the law and I want to ensure all people who live with a disability can occupy decision-making spaces to contribute to improving their conditions.”4．What does Espino expect to do in the future?A．To give a hand to the disabled.B．To cure people of Down syndrome.C．To attach importance to human’s equal rights.D．To inspire the disabled to learn legal knowledge.5．What happened to Espino when applying for a university at first?A．She moved the headmaster.B．She lost her parents’ support.C．She was turned down by the school.D．She did badly in the admission exam. 6．What does the underlined word “fanatical” in the last paragraph probably mean?A．Uncertain.B．Annoyed.C．Passionate.D．Curious. 7．Which words can best describe Espino?A．Humble and wise.B．Generous and brave.C．Humorous and hard-working.D．Strong-willed and caring.In 1973, the National Hurricane Center introduced the Saffir-Simpson scale (created by Herbert Saffir and Robert Simpson), a five-category rating system that classified hurricanes by wind intensity. At the bottom of the scale was Category 1, for storms with sustained winds of 74 to 95 mph. At the top was Category 5, for disasters with winds of 157 mph or more.In the half-century since the scale first appeared, land and ocean temperatures have steadily risen as a result of greenhouse gas emissions (排放). Hurricanes have become more intense, with stronger winds and heavier rainfall.With disastrous storms regularly blowing past 157 mph, some scientists argue, the Saffir-Simpson scale no longer conveys the threat the biggest hurricanes present. The strongest hurricane recorded over the Pacific Ocean has a sustained wind of 215 mph. “That’s faster than a racing car. It’s a new and dangerous world,” said Michael F. Wehner, a co-author of a Category 6 paper.“The Saffir-Simpson scale is not all that good for warning the public of the danger of a storm,” Wehner said. The category scale measures only sustained wind speeds, which is just one of the threats a major storm presents. The rest are storm surges (风暴潮), flooding and big tides.But the National Hurricane Center has no plans to introduce a Category 6, primarily because it is already trying “to not emphasize the scale very much,” said Brennan, the National Hurricane Center director. Other meteorologists said that’s the right call. “I don’t see the value init at this time.”Simplistic as they are, Herbert Saffir and Robert Simpson’s categories are the first things many people think of when they try to grasp the scale of a storm. In that sense, the scale’s persistence (持续存在) over the years helps people understand how much the climate has changed since its introduction. “What the Saffir-Simpson scale is good for is quantifying, showing that the most intense storms are becoming more intense because of climate change,” Wehner said. “It’s not like it used to be.”8．Why does Wehner suggest a new rating system?A．To describe more intense hurricanes.B．To control greenhouse gas emissions.C．To avoid the threat of hurricanes timely.D．To better understand the nature of hurricanes.9．What does Brennan think of the Category 6?A．Primary.B．Needless.C．Valuable.D．Incomplete. 10．What does the last paragraph mainly tell us about the Saffir-Simpson scale?A．Its simplicity.B．Its long history.C．Its positive role.D．Its great change. 11．What can be the best title for this text?A．A New Rating System Is ApprovedB．Climate Change Caused More HurricanesC．Extreme Weather Has Become a New NormD．A Bigger Number Might Be Needed for HurricanesThe small hobby of chocolate is becoming a more costly one. Rapidly increasing prices for cocoa beans recently hit a record $12,000 a tonne: roughly four times last year’s price. Many think they will go higher. That may put small specialist producers out of business. Yet it is bringing little reward to struggling growers.The immediate cause is a bad harvest in West Africa—which produces 70% of the world’s beans—reflecting El Niño-linked weather patterns and disease. Major processing plants in Ghana and Ivory Coast, the main growers, have stopped or reduced operations because they cannot afford the beans. But underlying the crisis are longer-term issues including the climate crisis and theinability of farmers to invest in production due to their low incomes.Many West African growers are being forced out of the business after years of punishingly low returns for their work and—as trees come to the end of their life cycle—often selling land to gold miners, resulting in severe environmental degradation (恶化). Latin American farmers are rushing to plant cocoa due to the higher prices, abandoning other crops and deforesting new areas. But the likelihood, if production booms and the system does not change, is that by the time their new trees bear fruit, prices may be falling again.As serious as the situation looks, the attention demanded by the rocketing price of cocoa, and the introduction of EU Deforestation Regulation offer an opportunity. Faced with global heating, increasing conflict and energy price instability, depending on the free market is a poor bet. Treating food issues as financial instruments hurts farmers, destroys forests and worsens the instability of supply.The solution in this case is a commitment to stable minimum prices for cocoa farmers and long-term contracts. This would help to lift growers out of poverty and, in doing so, tackle other problems. Sustainable production is essential, and will even benefit consumers in the long run. It can’t be achieved by letting the free market run its course.12．What might be the consequence of rising cocoa prices?A．Some small producers will fail.B．Cocoa farmers will benefit greatly.C．Fewer people will eat chocolate.D．Cocoa production will increase.13．What will happen if more Latin American farmers plant cocoa?A．Other crops will boost production.B．Cocoa prices will go down.C．The environment will be improved.D．Old cocoa trees will be abandoned. 14．What is the author’s attitude towards the free market approach to cocoa problems?A．Defensive.B．Concerned.C．Optimistic.D．Indifferent. 15．What does the author suggest in order to solve the coco a problem?A．Allowing the free market to work.B．Giving cocoa farmers more freedom.C．Helping cocoa growers out of poverty.D．Promising a steady guaranteed price.Want your flower garden to look like those at the Botanical Garden? Here are some tips.How do you arrange a flower garden?Like most things, your best bet is to keep it simple. Use large blocks of color in your home flower garden. Keep in mind that annuals require care and even the hardiest need to be watered and fertilized. 16How often do you need to water a flower garden?Water your flower garden immediately after planting annuals, and keep an eye on them for the next week or so. 17 If it rains, you may still need to water them because sometimes it doesn’t soak (浸透) the ground. If you’re unsure, stick your finger in the soil at the base of the plant, and feel if it is wet or dry.18Visit your local garden store that sells well-grown annuals that are in either flats or 4-inch pots. Most of the time the vigorous (茁壮的) plants that do well are in 4-inch pots. Growing from seed can be fun in the back of the garden, but when you are really counting on color, buy plants.How do you prepare the soil before planting flowers?19 You may have to apply some efforts to get the dirt in good enough shape to plant annuals. The most important tip is to dig up your soil with a shovel (铲) to make sure it’s loose and soft. Try for 6 to 8 inches deep. 20 If you have to chip away at the soil to plant your flowers, you are in for an uphill battle in which you will not win.A．What flowers are best for a flower garden?B．So your flower bed should be near water outlets.C．If you can’t dig with your hands, the soil is not ready.D．Once the annuals are established, water two times a week.E．Should you plant seeds or use potted plants for a flower garden?F．Soil preparation starts with knowing the soil type that’s native to your area.G．If you add organic matter occasionally, your garden should be in good condition.二、完形填空Going into my Ph.D．program, I loved to communicate science to the public.

北京市第十一中学2024-2025学年高三上学期10月月考英语试卷一、完形填空One Monday morning I came into the classroom and caught Joe 1 a picture on his math book.

Joe closed the book immediately, trying to hide his drawing. I said, “Let me3 what I said yesterday: these textbooks are going to be used for the next five years, and I4 you to take good care of them.” “Sorry,” Joe murmured. “I forgot.” “I see.” I said.When I returned to Joe’s desk again, he was erasing the drawing with his tiny, worn-out eraser.
