Vegetables have a short growing season in Saskatchewan, unless the farm is indoors in a controlled climate.A very unique farm Let-Us Grow Hydroponics in Hudson Bay is growing fresh, pesticide-free produce all-year-long on a hydroponic farm （the plants are grown in water and not soil） and housed in an originated school building.
But that's not the only thing that makes it one-of-a-kind.You can make purchases directly from a drive-through window without ever leaving your car.Every Thursday, there is a line of cars waiting to purchase these fresh, just picked vegetables from the farm.The farm is the brainchild of June and Jan Nel and was started in 2019.
"I think when my husband first said'let's grow lettuce（生菜） inside an old school building, 'I did not really think that it would become what it has, "June Nel said.
Produce is available in local supermarkets but it is trucked in from far away.The Nels are changing the face of veggies for people of this town.
The idea to change the no longer used Stewart Hawke school came to the Nels when Hudson Bay asked for bids for the building in 2018.The family worked together to prepare the building in January 2019 and they planted the first seeds in just one classroom the next month.
They set up their company.And it has grown and is now using several rooms thanks to the quality of the produce and the fact that it is local. "It's not two weeks old；it hasn't traveled across the country or across the world, " June said. "It actually tastes like lettuce.Lots of people have commented on our vegetables, it actually still tastes fresh when you get it."
Now, Let-Us Grow Hydroponies offers delivery, pick-up and drive-through options for the local community and the Nels hope to expand their operation.Who imagined that an unused school building could be repurposed from growing young minds to growing food.
4、Where is Let-Us Grow Hydroponics located？

7、Which of the following can best cover the main idea of this passage？

You've probably heard the saying, "Laughter is the best medicine." Comedy on Referral has taken that idea and run with it, using standup comedy to help treat people struggling with depression and anxiety in partnership with the NHS.
The idea stemmed from comedian Angie Belcher's experiences teaching comedy at Bristol University.She found that students often told her how much stronger and more resilient（恢复力强的）they were thanks to standup comedy.
Inspired, she teamed up with the NHS in Bristol to create a six-week comedy course for patients struggling with depression in January 2022.Following the success of this initial course, Comedy on Referral won NHS funding to help men at risk of killing themselves in London.
Belcher will work alongside psychologists and men who have experienced self-killing events to use comedy as a form of therapy（疗法）.
Talking to The Bristol Post, Belcher said, "Past depressions are perfect for comedy.Comedy doesn't come from the happy, perfect moments of your life, but from our everyday struggles and major life events.People who've been through big life experiences such as the death of a close relation and ill health often can't wait to tell me their story, mostly because there's always something strangely funny about the situation."
Research has shown that laughter has positive psychological effects, such as decreasing levels of cortisol （the stress hormone） and increasing endorphins（chemicals making you feel relaxed）.
It can even have physiological benefits, although less research has been done in this area.Current research has linked laughter and humour with increased levels of pain tolerance as well as short-term cardiovascular（心血管的）benefits.More research is needed to prove these findings.
Nonetheless, the mental health benefits of regular laughter are widely accepted, and using comedy to treat mental health struggles could be a real breakthrough in the treatment of mental health.
8、Why is the saying used at the beginning of the text？
A.To attract readers' attention. B.To introduce the topic.
C.To demonstrate a theory. D.To present a statement.
9、What did teaching comedy inspire Angie Belcher to do？
A.She set up a new company for the struggling patients.
B.She took an effort to run after the success of his course.
C.She created a six-week comedy course for related patients.
D.She raised money to help men at risk of killing themselves.
10、What is the benefit of the research on laughter？
A.Bringing the depressed at ease.
B.Making struggling patients energetic.
C.Building up the patients' willpower.
D.Ensuring the patients to be pain-free.
11、What is probably the best title of this text？
A.Using Standup Comedy Improves Wellbeing
B.Depression and Anxiety Can Be Cured Now
C.The Initial Course Proves to Be Successful
D.Laughter Is Actually Being Used as Medicine
Engineers at the University of Waterloo have discovered a new way to program robots to help people with dementia（痴呆）locate medicine, glasses, phones and other objects they need but have lost.
And while the initial focus is on assisting a specific group of people, the technology could someday be used by anyone who has searched high and low for something they've misplaced.
"The long-term impact of this is really exciting, " said Dr.Ali Ayub, a post-doctoral fellow in electrical and computer engineering. "A user can be involved not just with a companion robot but a personalized companion robot that can give them more independence."
Ayub and three colleagues were struck by the rapidly rising number of people coping with dementia.Many of these individuals repeatedly forget the location of everyday objects, which diminishes their quality of life and places additional burdens on caregivers.
Engineers believed a companion robot with an occasional memory of its own could be a game-changer in such situations.And they succeeded in using artificial intelligence to create a new kind of artificial memory.
The research team began with a Fetch mobile user robot, which has a camera for perceiving the world around it.Next, using an object-detection system, they programmed the robot to detect, track and keep a memory log of specific objects in its camera view through stored video.With the robot capable of distinguishing one object from another, it can record the time and date objects enter or leave its view.Researchers then developed a picture interface to enable users to choose objects they want to be tracked and, after typing the objects' names, search for them on a smartphone app or computer.Once that happens, the robot can indicate when and where it last observed the specific object.
Tests have shown the system is highly accurate.And while some individuals with dementia might find the technology worrying, Ayub said caregivers could readily use it.Moving forward, researchers will conduct user studies with people without disabilities, then people with dementia.
12、What is the technology about according to Paragraph 1？
A.Robots can help fetch objects that people need.
B.Robots can help find objects people have lost.
C.Robots can locate the lost people with dementia.
D.Robots can accompany people with dementia.
13、What does the underlined word "diminishes" in Paragraph 4 refer to？
A.Improves. B.Adjusts. C.Highlights. D.Reduces.
14、What is the basic and most important part of the technology？
A.A new artificial memory. B.A friendly companion robot.
C.The object-detection camera. D.The lost objects' names.
15、What is the author's attitude towards the future of this technology？
A.Disapproving. B.Challenging. C.Optimistic. D.Doubtful.

As Hurrieane lan bore down on Florida, many residents who decided to stay found themselves unable to leave.
When the water slipped in under the door of their home in Naples, Florida, it was just a sign that it was time to go.
It was around noon on Wednesday, September 28 last year and Darcy Bishop woke up her two brothers who had been resting after lunch.She pulled the wheelchair up to the oldest, Russell Rochow, 66.Her other brother, Todd Rochow, 63, was in his room, changing clothes.He could manage with a walker.
Both men had been born with disabilities, and their mental development was like that of a young child.But they found joy in their surroundings.Russell loved riding the bus and going to parks.Todd liked collecting cans at the beach and playing on the boat in the neighbor, Hance Walters' home.Bishop, 61, was their lifeline, their little sister who had long felt a duty to keep them safe.
"We've got to get going!" she shouted to Todd.She went to open the front door.It would not move.The weight of the water on the other side had shut it tight.
She rushed to try the door to the garage, where Todd's walker was stored.It, too, was stuck.
That's when the house the three brothers shared began to flood.
The only way to go was up.
Bishop guided Todd to the stairs, and he grabbed the banister（栏杆）.She helped him pull himself slowly up to the top where he waited in a chair.
But stairs were impossible for Russell, who could neither walk nor bend his stiff legs.
Bishop dragged on the belt around Russell's waist, but he was nearly 77 kilograms.She tried every position possible, switching from pushing to pulling, and managed to get him up a few carpeted steps.
But the water followed.
Bishop called 911 and was told someone would come soon.But out the window she could already see furniture, boats and cars floating by.
注意：
（1）续写词数应为150左右；
（2）请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Meanwhile, Bishop was crazy and desperate.

解析：①考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：立夏是一年中的第七个节气, 今年从5月6日开始, 到5月20日结束。begin"开始", 与ends是并列谓语, 因表示的是一般事实, 要用一般现在时, 主语Start of Summer是单数, 谓语动词也用第三人称单数形式。故填begins。
②考查动词时态和语态。句意：立夏一词起源于战国末期（公元前239年）。term与originate之间是动宾关系, 根据时间状语at the end of the Warring States Period要用一般过去时被动语态, 主语term是单数, be动词用was。故填was originated。
③考查可数名词复数。句意：由于立夏是收获夏季作物的关键时刻, 中国历代皇帝都非常重视立夏。dynasty是可数名词, 其前有different修饰时要用复数形式。故填dynasties。
④考查介词。句意：由于立夏是收获夏季作物的关键时刻, 中国历代皇帝都非常重视立夏。attach great importance to"非常重视", 是固定搭配。故填to。
⑤考查动词不定式。句意：在周朝（公元前1050 -221年）, 皇帝鼓励他的居民抓住关键时间做农活。encourage sb.to do sth."鼓励某人做某事", 是固定搭配。故填to seize。
⑥考查固定句型。句意：据说大部分的装饰都是红色的, 包括皇帝和官员的衣服, 马匹和旗帜, 以表示对夏神的尊重, 并祈求丰收。it is said that…是一个句型, 意为"据说……"。故填that。
⑦考查介词。句意：据说大部分的装饰都是红色的, 包括皇帝和官员的衣服, 马匹和旗帜, 以表示对夏神的尊重, 并祈求丰收。include"包括", 此处是介词短语作定语。故填including。
⑧考查不定冠词。句意：据说大部分的装饰都是红色的, 包括皇帝和官员的衣服, 马匹和旗帜, 以表示对夏神的尊重, 并祈求丰收。harvest是可数名词, 单数形式前加不定冠词a/an表示泛指, 因good读音以辅音音素开头, 用不定冠词a。故填a。
⑨考查形容词比较级。句意：当天气变得比以前更热时, 湿热会影响人体健康。hot"热的", 根据句中than可知, 要用形容词比较级。故填hotter。
⑩考查副词。句意：强烈推荐富含维生素和天然凉爽的食物。recommended是动词, 要用副词形式highly修饰作状语。故填highly。
33、答案：
Dear Jim,
How is everything going？I am writing to tell you about the activity in March -planting trees.
To raise our awareness of protecting the environment, our nation sets March 12th as "Tree-Planting Day".Planting trees can not only green and beautify homes, but also expand mountain forests, prevent soil erosion, regulate climate and promote economic development.So our school holds this activity in March annually.Usually we go to the hill nearby, planting trees, watering flowers or doing some voluntary work to protect trees.
From this experience we can enrich ourselves as well as contributing to a greener world.See the attachment for some photos of me in the activity.
Looking forward to your reply!
Yours,
Li Hua
