(2017·合肥市二模,B)
Walking in a farmers' market often brings one to explore new food options, and now more locallyfarmed protein choices are available to help bridge the gap between our meals and the farms on which they originated. More and more local small farms are popping_up in opposition to factory farms.
Today's commercial farms do not fit the image that comes to mind while happily singing along to “Old McDonald”. Instead, most of the nation's food comes from CAFOs, Confined Animal Feeding Operations, where animals are kept in tightly enclosed conditions as they are fattened up and readied to be killed for food.
Fortunately, knowing exactly where one's food comes from has led to an increase in the availability of what is known as ?grassfed? beef. Technically, all cattle are grassfed for at least a limited amount of time, but what makes the meat significant is that it is grassfinished, not forcefed corn, soy or grains. This change in diet makes all the difference since corn is not part of the cow's traditional diet, and therefore causes major health issues for it. To deal with the health issues, antibiotics (抗生素) are used and some of the antibiotics used to treat the cattle are similar to those given to humans, so they can decrease the effectiveness of medicine when a consumer is sick.
A healthier diet for the cattle leads the meat to lower in both fat and calories. And when cooking grassfed beef, you'd better use a slightly lower temperature to make it more delicious.
文章大意:本文是一篇议论文。为了应对机械化农业的弊端,越来越多的小农业开始兴盛起来了,它们生产的农畜牧产品不仅丰富了人们的一日三餐,同时也更绿色、更健康。
1.The underlined words “popping up” (in the 1st paragraph) probably means ________.
A.improving
B.fading
C.profiting
D.appearing
答案:D 词义猜测题。根据文章第一句中“and now more locallyfarmed protein choices are available”可知,现在有更多的当地小农场喂养的动物可满足人们对蛋白质的需求,即当地出现了越来越多小农场,由此可知,appear与pop up意思最为接近,故答案D符合文义。
2.The song “Old McDonald” describes ________.
A.animals raised freely on local farms
B.animals kept in tightly enclosed conditions
C.commercial farms providing fast food
D.commercial farms providing unpopular foods
答案:A 推理判断题。根据文章第二段第一句“Today's commercial farms do not fit the image...”的提示和下文对商业农场喂养动物的方法的描述可知,the song “Old McDonald”所描述的喂养方式正好和商业农场相反,由此可推知,答案A符合文义。
3.Some medicines are less effective for beef consumers probably because ________.
A.some cattle feed on grains
B.all cattle diet on grass
C.some medicines are used to treat sick cattle
D.some antibiotics are used by both cattle and people
答案:D 细节理解题。根据文章第三段最后一句中“and some of the antibiotics used to treat the cattle are similar to those given to humans...”可推知,答案D符合文义。
4.We can infer from the text that ________.
A.food from local farms can help add to the variety in our daily meals
B.soy or grains are on the list of traditional diets of the cattle
C.corn for the cattle leads the meat to lower in both fat and calories
D.lower temperature makes grassfed beef more delicious
答案:A 推理判断题。根据文章第一段第一句“Walking in a farmers' market often brings one to explore new food options, and now more locallyfarmed protein choices are available to help bridge the gap between our meals and the farms on which they originated.”可推知,选项A“当地小农场的食物可以丰富我们的一日三餐”符合文义。B、C两项与原文不符;D项不是经过推理得出的,不符合题意,故排除。

(2016·哈尔滨市第三中学一模)Babies don't learn to talk just from hearing sounds. They are lipreaders too. It happens during the stage when a baby's babbling (咿呀声) gradually changes from unclear voices into that first “mama” or “dada”. The baby in order to do like you has to figure out how to shape their lips to make that particular sound they are hearing, according to developmental psychologist David Lewkowicz of Florida Atlantic University, who led the study.
Apparently it doesn't take them too long to absorb the movements that match basic sounds. By their first birthdays, babies start changing back to look you in the eye again. It offers more evidence that quality facetime with babies is very important for speech development more than, say, turning on the latest baby DVD.
But Lewkowicz went a step further. He and his student Amy HansenTift tested nearly 180 babies, groups of them at ages 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 months. How? They showed videos of a woman speaking in English or Spanish to babies of English speakers. They found that when the speaker used English, the 4montholds gazed mostly into her eyes. The 6montholds spent equal amounts of time looking at the eyes and the mouth. The 8 and 10montholds studied mostly the mouth. At 12 months, attention started changing back toward the speaker's eyes.
But what happened when these babies accustomed to English heard Spanish? The 12montholds studied the mouth longer, just like younger babies. They needed the extra information to recognize the unfamiliar sounds. That fits with research into bilingualism (双语)that shows babies' brains adjust themselves to distinguishing the sounds of their native language over other languages in the first year of life.
The continued lipreading shows the 1yearolds clearly still are fit for learning. Babies are so hard to study that this is “a fairly heroic data set”, says Duke University cognitive neuroscientist Greg Appelbaum, who found the research so fascinating that he wants to know more.
1.According to the first paragraph, babies________.
A.might get its voice “mama” by lipreading
B.learn to talk just from hearing the sounds
C.like to figure out how to shape their lips
D.communicate with parents through gestures
2.What is necessary in developing babies' speech according to Lewkowicz?
A.Playing baby DVD nearby.
B.Teaching babies to read English.
C.Speaking with babies face to face.
D.Speaking different languages in front of babies.
3.Which of the following shows the right change of babies' eye gaze according to the text?
4.What would be the best title of the text?
A.Babies Have Different Methods to Talk
B.Babies Try Lipreading in Learning to Talk
C.Babies Are Suitable to Learn Two Languages
D.Babies Can Easily Accept Foreign Language
1.解析:选A 细节理解题根据第一段第二三句“They are lipreaders too ...that first ‘mama’ or‘dada’.”可知婴儿可能会通过读唇的方式发出“mama”的声音故答案选A解析:选C 推理判断题根据第一段最后一句“The baby in order to do ...who led the study.”及第二段第三句“It offers more evidence ...important for speech development”可推知在婴儿的语言发展阶段跟婴儿面对面讲话是有必要的故答案选C解析:选A 细节理解题根据第三段最后四句“They found that ...the speaker's eyes.”并结合所给选项可知A项坐标图符合文中的描述故答案选A解析:选B 标题归纳题纵观全文文章主要介绍了一项科学发现:婴儿不仅仅通过听声还通过观察说话者的口型来学习说话B项概括了文章主旨故答案选BClose your eyes for a minute and imagine what life would be like if you had a hundred dollars less.Also imagine what it would be like spending the rest of your life with your eyes closed.Imagine having to read this page,not with your eyes but with your fingertips.

(2016·辽师大附中高三模拟)Though great progress has been made in science these years, but there are still many people living in poor conditions. They make their lives by collecting and selling used thing. Their children cannot go to school because they have not enough money to send their children to there. Why you think so many people still suffer from poverty now? The answer lies on the population explosion. A president of a developing country once said, “It is us who are to blame for the poverty because we used to ‘produce’ child without limit.” Although this few words sound simple enough, they have clear pointed out one of the causes of the population explosion.
