3．（8分）Kendall Johnson spends a lot of time playing in the dirt（泥土）.She has a huge garden that produces over 100 pounds of food each year!But for this seven﹣year﹣old kid，gardening isn't just about fruits and vegetables.It's about people."My favourite thing about growing food is doing it with my family and friends."she says.

    Kendall began gardening at the age of three，when her grandmother gave her some green stems（茎）. "Grandma told me not to throw them away，because if we put them in the ground，they will grow back，"she says.She tried it and was amazed when the stems grew new leaves.

    Soon after，her parents built a small backyard garden.When her friends came over，Kendall enjoyed sharing what she knew.She says，"My friends loved that.And they helped me water and care for the plants."

    When she was six，she became the youngest certified（有资质的） farmer in Georgia，the USA.Today，her garden has grown larger，including sixty plant beds and twelve trees!Kendall says，"When the vegetables and fruits are ready，I pick them.I do a food sale so other kids and families can have some."People who don't have enough food are invited to take what they need.

    Kendall wants to inspire other kids too.She speaks at libraries and schools，and hosts a community garden club for kids."I also invite kids to visit my garden and help with it，so they can see how fun it is，"she says."Growing food takes a lot of work，but together you can do it."

4．（8分）What time is it？The answer you give can be different，because you are in different Earth's time zones（时区）.But how could you tell the time if you aren't anywhere on Earth？

    Scientists are now thinking of creating a lunar（月球的） time zone.They believe it would be better for astronauts to communicate by using Moon Time，as they travel to，from，and across the Moon.At the moment，astronauts are using time zones of their own countries.But there could be safety problems caused by the differences in time﹣telling.

    ▲ Gravity（引力） influences how quickly or slowly time passes.Since gravity is weaker on the Moon，clocks run a bit faster there.After 24 hours，a lunar clock would be 56 microseconds ahead of a clock on Earth.Another point to consider is that a full day on Earth is about 24 hours between two sunsets.While on the Moon，it is nearly 709 hours，about 29.5 Earth days.This means that lunar nights can be around two weeks long，with only the Earth and the stars in the sky.With all this to think about，scientists need to decide whether it would be better to follow a time zone on Earth，or for the Moon to have its own special zone，which would have much longer days.

    Scientists must consider other problems too.For example，who should be responsible for keeping the time zone going？And how can it be made practical for astronauts to use？

    There are more countries planning Moon trips in the future.The idea of creating a time zone on the Moon would make these easier.And if a lunar time zone is set up，scientists could create time zones for other planets like Mars.

（1）Scientists think that a lunar time zone can  　   　.

A.keep the Moon clean

B.keep astronauts healthy

C.make the Moon trips safer

D.make space travel faster

（2）Which of the following can be put in the blank ▲ in Paragraph 3？ 　   　

A.Setting up a lunar time zone is not easy.

B.Setting up a special time zone is important.

C.Scientists are holding different opinions.

D.Scientists need to do a lot of experiments.

（3）If the Moon has its own special time zone，a full day of it can be about  　   　 on Earth.

A.56 microseconds

B.24 hours

C.two weeks

D.29.5 days

（4）What is the writer's purpose in writing the passage？ 　   　

A.To give information about space travel.

B.To introduce the idea of Moon Time.

C.To describe an experience of time travel.

D.To share news about landing on Mars.

5．（8分）Roger Federer，a world﹣famous sports star，quit（放弃） the 2020 Olympic Games to deal with his knee problem.It was a hard decision because no one wanted to be a quitter.But finding the courage to let go can be good for you.

   Nothing is fun all the time.Sticking at something difficult teaches us important skills like perseverance （毅力）.However，learning to let go when things aren't right is important too.Maybe your heart isn't in playing the piano any more，or you only play football because your friends do and you want to try a different sport instead.Making the decision to walk away can free up time and energy to spend on something you really enjoy.In fact，studies show that letting go of goals you can't reach or don't really want，can build up your confidence and help you lead a happier and healthier life.

     But how can you know it's time to stop and move on？Eric Bean is an expert in sports psychology（心理学） who helps athletes and teams understand their feelings.He says，"Quitting is never a matter of black and white."He suggests thinking carefully about why you aren't enjoying something any more.Is it because you've argued with a teammate or can't get on with a new art teacher？Talk about this with a trusted adult or friend.That can help you decide whether you should stay and stick，or quit and move on.

     Quitting doesn't have to mean totally giving up，though.For example，playing an instrument might be more fun if you take away the pressure of exams.If you do decide to give up an activity，Bean suggests picking up another where you can still enjoy things like teamwork，creativity and exercise.

（1）The writer mentions "Roger Federer" in Paragraph 1 to show that  　   　.

A.we should never give up

B.we should get away from trouble

C.it's all right to stop and quit

D.it's difficult to win Olympic medals

（2）According to Paragraph 2，learning to let go is important because we can  　   　 .

A.learn about perseverance

B.have enough money to spend

C.live a busier and fuller life

D.feel more confident in ourselves

（3）By saying the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3，Eric Bean means that  　   　 .

A.it's not good to stick at things we don't like

B.we should think twice before quitting an activity

C.we don't have to take exams to show our true abilities

D.it's wiser to pick up a new hobby than to keep the old one

（4）Which could be the best title for the passage？ 　   　

A.Knowing When to Stop

B.Working Hard to Move on

C.Learning How to Grow up

D.Starting Early to Make Changes

三、词汇运用 A.用方框中所给词语的适当形式填空，每词仅用一次。

7．（10分）No one lives without food.For centuries，people grew their own food and （1）　      　 （吃） it themselves.But now most people buy food in shops and （2）　               　 （超市）.The next time you have dinner，look（3）　        　（近） at the food on your plate.If you're dining in summer，it's possible that some of the food comes from small（4）　          　 （私人） farms，but more of it comes from large farms and companies.

    How do you know where your food is from？You can check by （5）　           　 （你自己）.Most food gives information on its packet.And you may be surprised at what you （6）　          　 （收集） because it comes from places around the world.You can enjoy a（n） （7）　         　 （柑橘；橙） from South Africa and a tomato from Mexico.You can （8）　       　 （甚至）enjoy a pizza from Italy.And you needn't travel to these places.Instead，the food travels to you.
