The eight Ivies—Brwn, Clumbia, Crnell, Dartmuth, Harvard, Penn, Princetn, and Yale—typically release their decisins at the same exact time.

D(2020·合肥一模) Walls blanketed in mss(苔藓)are ppping up in majr cities, alng with prmises that they can reduce air pllutin—but can a few square metres f plant matter really deal with the smg?
A Berlin-based firm, Green City Slutins, believes s. Its mss walls, called the CityTree, are rughly 4 square metres in size. Armed with Wi-Fi sensrs t mnitr the health f mss, a City Tree functins autnmusly andrequires very little maintenance(维护). The wall cllects rainwater, which is pumped thrugh a built-in irrigatin system t the plants, pwered by slar energy. As a result, the firm says each CityTree is able t “eat” arund 250 grams f particulate(颗粒的) matter a day (nearly 90 kg a year) and remve abut 240 metric tns f CO2 annually. It als cls the surrunding air.
Aware that getting the surrunding air in cntact with the mss wall is crucial fr the CityTree t be effective, the inventrs ensure that the lcatin f each installatin (安装) is chsen carefully. Spts where pllutin is heavy due t traffic and where air flw is limited are picked. The imprtance f this stepis explained by the fact that the waste gas frm a car generally ges vertically a few kilmetres int the air.
But this desn’t mean mss walls will necessarily prtect peple frm pllutin. In the Netherlands, researchers fund that eight walls installed in Amsterdam failed t reduce the cncentratin f particulate matter (PM) and nitrgen dixide (NO2). Their reprt cncluded that even dubling the number f mss walls wuld d little t imprve their effectiveness.
The CityTree is nt meant fr parks r t substitute fr street trees, but t add greenery t cncrete-heavy spaces where planting is nt an ptin. It’s imprtant t remember that street trees prvide a whle hst f ther benefits, including shelter and habitat fr urban wildlife, shade and cling fr peple n the street, and reductin f urban heat islands. 【文章大意】这是一篇议论文。文章主要以号称能够减少空气污染的, 在大城市如雨后春笋般出现的CityTree——苔藓墙是否真的能对付雾霾展开了讨论, 分别从其功能、严格选址, 以及是否有效发挥作用方面进行了讲述。作者在文末提出个人观点: 苔藓墙并不能够取代公园和街道的树木。
12. What d we knw abut the CityTree?A. It can absrb sme air pllutants. B. It can irrigate ther street plants. C. It prduces electricity t cl water. D. It is aimed at saving water in cities.
【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据文章第二段内容“As a result, the firm says each CityTree is able t ‘eat’ arund 250 grams f particulate matter a day (nearly 90 kg a year) and remve abut 240 metric tns f CO2 annually. (每棵城市树每天可以“吃”大约250克的颗粒物(每年近90千克), 每年可以消除约240吨的二氧化碳。)”可知它有吸收一些空气污染物的功能。
13. What is Paragraph 3 mainly abut?A. The imprtance f the CityTree. B. The functin f the CityTree. C. Hw t perate the CityTree. D. Where t place the CityTree.
【解析】选D。 段落大意题。通过阅读可知, 该段首句为本段主旨句, “Aware that getting the surrunding air in cntact with the mss wall is crucial fr the CityTree t be effective, the inventrs ensure that the lcatin f each installatin is chsen carefully. (考虑到让周围的空气与苔藓墙接触对城市树的有效性至关重要, 发明者确保每个装置的位置都是精心选择的。)”可知, 本段主要在讲述苔藓墙的安装位置。
14. Why is the example f Amsterdam mentined in Paragraph 4?A. T shw that the CityTree can’t always wrk well. B. T prve that the CityTree can reduce air pllutants. C. T emphasize the necessity f building mss walls. D. T analyze the reasns fr the failure f the prgram.
【解析】选A。推理判断题。根据英文文章的写作特点可知, 举例内容应是对本段主旨要点的支持或例证, 题干中提及举例内容“Amsterdam”紧跟于本段主旨要点之后, 是为了给主旨句例证。结合主旨内容“But this desn’t mean mss walls will necessarily prtect peple frm pllutin. ( 但这并不意味着苔藓墙一定会保护人们免受污染。)”由此判断出, 该例子是为了证明苔藓墙并不一定会发挥作用。
15. What is the authr’s attitude twards replacing street trees with mss walls?A. Ambiguus. B. Disapprving. C. Supprtive. D. Cautius. 【解析】选B。观点态度题。根据文章末尾段内容“The CityTree is nt meant fr parks r t substitute fr street trees, but t add greenery t cncrete-heavy spaces where planting is nt an ptin. (城市树并不是为公园设计的, 也不是用来替代街道上的树, 而是为混凝土密集的空间增加绿色植物, 在这些空间里不可以种植植物。)”可推知, 对于用苔藓墙取代街道上的树这种做法, 作者是反对的。
Ⅱ. 七选五The Buy Nthing Mvement Scial media, magazines and shp windws bmbard(轰击)peple daily with things t buy, and British cnsumers are buying mre clthes than ever befre. The average persn spends mre than £1, 000 n new clthes a year, which might nt sund like much. 16 A lt f cnsumer spending is by means f credit cards. British peple currently we abut £670 per adult t credit card cmpanies. Als, peple are spending mney they haven’t earned t buy things they dn’t need. Britain thrws away 300, 000 tns f clthing a year, mst f which ges int landfill(垃圾填埋地)sites.
17 But charity shps can’t sell all thse unwanted clthes. A lt f clthes that charities can’t sell are sent abrad, causing even mre ecnmic and envirnmental prblems. 18 The idea riginated in Canada in the early 1990s and then mved t the US. On Buy Nthing Day peple rganize varius types f prtests and cut up their credit cards. Thrughut the year, Buy Nthing grups rganize the exchange and repair f items they already wn.
The trend has nw reached influencers n scial media wh nw encurage their viewers nt t buy anything at all fr perids as lng as a year. Tw friends in Canada spent a year wrking twards buying nly fd. Fr the first three mnths they learned hw t live withut buying electrical gds, clthes r things fr the huse. Fr the next stage, they gave up services, fr example, haircuts, eating ut r buying petrl fr their cars. 19
The changes they made meant fewer cars n the rads, a reductin in plastic and paper packaging and a psitive impact n the envirnment frm all the energy saved. 20 But even if yu can’t manage a full year withut ging shpping, yu can participate in the anti-cnsumerist mvement by refusing t buy things yu dn’t need. A. In ne year, they’d saved $55, 000. B. If everyne fllwed a similar plan, the results wuld be impressive. C. Online shpping means it is easy fr custmers t buy withut thinking.
D. Secnd-hand clthes are ften f t pr quality t recycle in charity shps. E. Hwever, a different trend arises in ppsitin t cnsumerism—the “buy nthing” trend. F. But that figure hides tw far mre wrrying trends fr sciety and fr the envirnment. G. Peple might nt realize the prblems because they dnate their unwanted clthes t charities. 【文章大意】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了英国如今消费者购买了比以往更多但是自己并不需要的衣服的社会现象, 同时这一现象也带来了社会和环境方面的担忧。
16. 【解析】选F。根据下文“A lt f cnsumer spending is by means f credit cards. . . Als, peple are spending mney they haven’t earned t buy things they dn’t need. ”和“Britain thrws away 300, 000 tns f clthing a year, mst f which ges int landfill sites. ”可知, 人们买衣服时使用信用卡超前消费, 同时每年也会有30万吨的衣服进入垃圾站, 是对F项(但是那个数字背后隐藏了令社会和环境担忧的问题。)提出问题的具体解释说明。故选F项。
17. 【解析】选G。根据下文“A lt f clthes that charities can’t sell are sent abrad, causing even mre ecnmic and envirnmental prblems. ”可知, 慈善机构把那些不能售卖的服装运到国外, 这会引起更多的经济和环境问题。承接上文, 推出G项(因为人们把不需要的衣服都捐给慈善团体, 并没有意识到那些问题。)切题, 该选项中的“the prblems”对应下文中的“ecnmic and envirnmental prblems”。故选G项。
18. 【解析】选E。根据下文“The idea riginated in Canada in the early 1990s and then mved t the US. On Buy Nthing Day peple rganize varius types f prtests and cut up their credit cards. Thrughut the year, Buy Nthing grups rganize the exchange and repair f items they already wn. ”可知整个段落谈论的是关于“Buy Nthing Day”观念的起源和发展方式, 而E项(然而与消费主义相反的另一种趋势“不买”正在凸显。)提出“Buy Nthing Day”观念。故选E项。
19. 【解析】选A。根据上文“Tw friends in Canada spent a year wrking twards buying nly fd. Fr the first three mnths they learned hw t live withut buying electrical gds, clthes r things fr the huse. Fr the next stage, they gave up services, fr example, haircuts, eating ut r buying petrl fr their cars. ”可知这两个朋友用一年的时间分两个阶段拒绝购买除食物之外的其他商品, 而A项(一年时间, 他们节省了$55 000。)是这两个朋友节约行为产生的结果即节省了$55 000。故选A项。
