Many cities in the United States culd grw their wn fd lcally, raising enugh crps and cattle t meet the needs f all residents. This is the finding f an interesting new mdeling study frm Tufts University, which analyzed the ptential fr lcal fd prductin in 378 areas acrss the US and expected fd prductin.
The researchers fund that cities in the Nrthwest in the United States had the greatest ptential t raise their wn fd. Cities alng the Eastern seaside and in the Suthwest had the least ptential and wuld nt be able t meet all their wn needs f diet, even if every acre f agricultural land was used fr fd prductin. This makes sense, as many f the cities are castal and lack rm fr agricultural spreading.
The study revealed that the United States have extra agricultural land fr feeding the dmestic ppulatin. Currently, sme land is used t raise exprt crps, but a fcus n lcal fd prductin wuld start a cnversatin abut hw that land gets used. In the wrds f Peters, lead authr and assciate prfessr at the Friedman Schl f Nutritin Science and Plicy at Tufts, “It wuld be imprtant t make sure plicies fr supprting lcal r reginal fd prductin benefit cnservatin and create pprtunities fr farmers t adpt mre sustainable (可持续的) practices. Plicies shuld als recgnize the ability f the natural resurces in a given lcal r regin and cnsider the supply chain, including ability fr fd prcessing and strage.”
Althugh it’s a far cry frm the current reality, it is a nice thught t imagine cities surrunded by fd prductin peratins that transprt freshly harvested fd t nearby hmes, and then make use f the leftver fd t fertilize fields and generate heat fr greenhuses.
8. Why d the cities alng the Eastern seaside fail t prvide enugh fd?
A. Because citizens are unwilling t grw crps.
B. Because the methds f fd prductin are wrng.
C. Because they dn’t have enugh land t grw crps.
D. Because their climate limits the agricultural prductin.
9. What will the fcus n lcal fd prductin lead t?
A. Mre jb pprtunities fr citizens.
B. Cnversatins with the lcal gvernment.
C. A discussin n hw t make use f land.
D. Mre specific plicies abut water resurces.
10. What des the underlined phrase “a far cry frm” in paragraph 4 prbably mean?
A. Clsely related t.B. Very different frm.
C. Exactly the same as.D. Slightly different frm.
11. What is the best title f this text?
A. The US Gvernment Stps Wasting Fd
B. Cities Learn t Grw Fd Frm the Villages
C. Farmers Have Mre Chances t Be Emplyed
D. Many Cities in the US Can Grw Their Own Fd
【答案】8. C 9. C 10. B 11. D
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。塔夫茨大学一项有趣的新模型研究的发现美国的许多城市可以在当地种植自己的粮食，种植和养殖足够的庄稼和牲畜，以满足所有居民的需求。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Cities alng the Eastern seaside and in the Suthwest had the least ptential and wuld nt be able t meet all their wn needs f diet, even if every acre f agricultural land was used fr fd prductin. This makes sense, as many f the cities are castal and lack rm fr agricultural spreading.(东部沿海城市和西南部城市的潜力最小，即使每英亩农田都用于粮食生产，它们也无法满足自身对饮食的全部需求。这是有道理的，因为许多城市都是沿海城市，缺乏农业扩张的空间)”可知，东部沿海城市无法提供足够的食物是因为他们没有足够的土地种植庄稼。故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Currently, sme land is used t raise exprt crps, but a fcus n lcal fd prductin wuld start a cnversatin abut hw that land gets used. (目前，一些土地用于种植出口作物，但关注当地粮食生产将引发有关这些土地如何利用的讨论)”可知，对当地粮食生产的关注将引发对如何利用土地的讨论。故选C项。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段“Althugh it’s a far cry frm the current reality, it is a nice thught t imagine cities surrunded by fd prductin peratins that transprt freshly harvested fd t nearby hmes, and then make use f the leftver fd t fertilize fields and generate heat fr greenhuses.(尽管这与当前的现实 ，但想象一下被食品生产企业包围的城市是一个不错的想法，这些企业将新鲜收获的食物运送到附近的家庭，然后利用剩下的食物给田地施肥，为温室供暖)”以及其中but和imagine可知，前面的内容与实际情况是不一样的，所以猜测a far cry frm应表示“与……不同的”的意思。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Many cities in the United States culd grw their wn fd lcally, raising enugh crps and cattle t meet the needs f all residents. This is the finding f an interesting new mdeling study frm Tufts University, which analyzed the ptential fr lcal fd prductin in 378 areas acrss the US and expected fd prductin.(美国的许多城市可以在当地种植自己的粮食，种植足够的作物和牲畜来满足所有居民的需求。这是塔夫茨大学一项有趣的新建模研究的发现，该研究分析了美国378个地区的当地粮食生产潜力和预期粮食生产)”可知，文章主要是讲一项研究发现美国的许多城市可以在当地种植自己的粮食，种植和养殖足够的庄稼和牲畜，以满足所有居民的需求。故D项“Many Cities in the US Can Grw Their Own Fd(美国的很多城市可以种植自己的粮食)”可以作为最佳标题。故选D项。

“Tie an Italian’s hands behind his back,” runs an ld jke, “and he’ll be speechless.” This rests n a natinal steretype: Italians are talkative and emtinal, and all that arm-waggling suppsedly ges t prve it.
Susan Meadw f the University f Chicag has a rather different view. Emtins cme ut in lts f ways: facial expressins, psture, tne f vice and s n. But peple are ding smething different when they use gestures with speech, which she sums up in the title f her new bk, “Thinking with Yur Hands”. It is a masterly tur thrugh a lifetime’s research.
Virtually everyne gestures, nt just Italians. Experimental subjects, tld after a research sessin that they were being watched fr gestures, aplgize fr nt having made any — but were ding s the entire time. Peple brn blind gesture when they speak, including t each ther. A wman brn withut arms but with “phantm limb syndrme (幻肢综合征)” describes hw she uses her phantm arms when she talks — but nt when she walks. All this suggests that cgnitin (认知) is, t sme extent, “embdied”; thinking is nt all dne in yur head.
In fact, gestures that accmpany speech are a secnd channel f infrmatin. Subjects watch a film in which a cat runs but are tld t lie and say it jumped. They d s in wrds — while their hands make a running mtin. Peple wh say they believe in sexual equality but gesture with their hands lwer when talking abut wmen are nt indicating wmen’s height; they can be shwn t have biases (偏见) f which they may be unaware.
In “The Crwn”, a histrical drama series, Lady Diana is warned that her hands may betray her real emtins, which culd be dangerus; they are tied tgether s she can learn t speak withut gesticulating. N ne wh reads Susan’s bk culd ever again think that gesturing shws nly a lack f cntrl. It is abut thinking and cmmunicatin, and is a cmplex aid t bth.
12. Why des the authr mentin the ld jke in Paragraph 1?
A. T present an argument.B. T describe a scene.
C. T lead in the tpic.D. T clarify a dubt.
13. Which statement will Susan Meadw prbably agree with?
A. The disabled seldm use gestures.B. Gestures literally embdy cgnitin.
C. Thinking nly ccurs in the brain.D. Gestures are imprper in cmmunicatin.
14. What des the authr try t prve in the last tw paragraphs?
A. Gestures may express what the speaker really thinks.
B. Peple are unaware f the meanings f their gestures.
C. Gesturing during speech shws nly a lack f cntrl.
D. Speakers can lie mre easily with the help f gestures.
15. Which f the fllwing is the best summary f the text?
A. Speech is a direct channel f infrmatin.
B. Gestures make a vital frm f cmmunicatin.
C. Italian’s bdy language represents a natinal steretype.
D. “Thinking with Yur Hands” is a lifetime’s research fr Susan Meadw.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. B
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了手势在交流和思考中的重要性，打破了只有意大利人才手势丰富的刻板印象，并通过实验和研究证明了手势是信息的第二渠道，能够真实反映人们的认知和想法。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“‘Tie an Italian’s hands behind his back,’ runs an ld jke, ‘and he’ll be speechless.’ This rests n a natinal steretype: Italians are talkative and emtinal, and all that arm-waggling suppsedly ges t prve it.(“把意大利人的手绑在背后，”一个老笑话说道，“他就会说不出话来。”这是基于一种国家刻板印象：意大利人健谈且情绪化，所有那些挥舞手臂的动作据说都证明了这一点)”可知，作者在第一段提到这个老笑话是为了引出关于意大利人手势丰富、健谈且情绪化的刻板印象，进而引出下文对于手势在交流和思考中作用的探讨。因此，作者提到这个老笑话是为了引入话题。故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Susan Meadw f the University f Chicag has a rather different view. Emtins cme ut in lts f ways: facial expressins, psture, tne f vice and s n. But peple are ding smething different when they use gestures with speech, which she sums up in the title f her new bk, “Thinking with Yur Hands”.(芝加哥大学的Susan Meadw有不同的看法，情绪以多种方式表现出来：面部表情、姿势、语调等等。但当人们用手势配合言语时，他们就在做不同的事情了。她在她的新书《用手思考》的标题中总结了这一点)”和第三段中“All this suggests that cgnitin (认知) is, t sme extent, ‘embdied’; thinking is nt all dne in yur head.(所有这些都表明，认知在某种程度上是‘具身的’；思考并不完全是在你的头脑中进行的)”可知，Susan Meadw认为人们在使用手势与语言时实际上在做一些不同的事情，并强调手势是思考和交流的一部分，思考并不完全是在头脑中进行，人们用手势配合言语时是在“用手思考”，因此，她可能会同意“手势实际上体现了认知”这一说法。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“In fact, gestures that accmpany speech are a secnd channel f infrmatin.(事实上，伴随言语的手势是信息的第二渠道)”和“Peple wh say they believe in sexual equality but gesture with their hands lwer when talking abut wmen are nt indicating wmen’s height; they can be shwn t have biases (偏见) f which they may be unaware.(那些说他们相信性别平等但在谈论女性时手势较低的人，其实并不是在指示女性的身高；这表明他们可能有自己未曾意识到的偏见)”；最后一段中“In ‘The Crwn’, a histrical drama series, Lady Diana is warned that her hands may betray her real emtins, which culd be dangerus; they are tied tgether s she can learn t speak withut gesticulating.(在历史剧《王冠》中，戴安娜王妃被警告说，她的手可能会泄露她的真实情感，这可能是危险的；它们被绑在一起，这样她就可以学习不用手势说话了)”可知，作者通过举例说明了手势能够真实反映人们的想法和偏见，即使人们口头上说的和内心想的不一致。因此，作者在最后两段试图证明手势可能表达出说话者真正的想法。故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，尤其结合第四段中“In fact, gestures that accmpany speech are a secnd channel f infrmatin.(事实上，伴随言语的手势是信息的第二渠道)”和最后一段中“N ne wh reads Susan’s bk culd ever again think that gesturing shws nly a lack f cntrl. It is abut thinking and cmmunicatin, and is a cmplex aid t bth.(读过苏珊这本书的人再也不会认为手势只是缺乏控制的表现。它是关于思考和交流的，是对两者的复杂辅助)”可知，文章主要讲述了手势在交流和思考中的重要性，打破了关于手势的刻板印象，并通过实验和研究证明了手势是信息的第二渠道，能够真实反映人们的认知和想法。因此，“手势是交流的一种重要形式”是文章内容的最佳概括。故选B项。

【42题详解】
考查介词。句意：在全球范围内，拥有一个国家公园并不意味着对游客关闭其部分区域；相反，大多数国家公园保留一些核心区域进行严格保护，而其他区域则对游客开放，以便游客了解国家公园的作用。n the cntrary是固定短语，意为“相反”。故填n。
【43题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：它还帮助国家公园管理机构筹集自己的一些收入。前面提到the natinal park management是复数概念，这里指的是多个国家公园管理机构，故填bdies。
【44题详解】
考查连词。句意：这就是使国家公园管理工作更具可持续性的原因，但此类活动需要严格的标准以避免损害生态。That’s what makes the jb f natinal park management mre sustainable与such activities need strict standards t avid harming the eclgy之间为转折关系，故填but。
