2．（10分） Heavy clouds threaten rain，but this doesn't seem to weaken the spirits of the gardeners who are cheerfully weeding in a community vegetable garden which lies deep inside Manguinhos，previously a rubbish dump.
The Manguinbos garden is part of the Hortas Cariocas project （Carioca Gardens）.Launched in 2006 by Julio Cesar Barros，an agriculturist who works for the government，the project now includes 55 gardens that are located either in schools or in "vulnerable" neighborhoods，such as favelas （棚户区）.The gardens produce organic food that is then supplied to feed low﹣income families around.
Barros explains that the expansion of the largest garden which will benefit five nearby favelas is under way.It will follow the same model as existing gardens.Each of the five favelas will provide a team of local gardeners.Half of the produce must be donated locally，but the team is then free to sell the other half，adding to the salary they receive.
Hortas Cariocas is run and funded by the government，but each garden is tended by a group of locals who receive a small salary：for their work!The favela residents involved in the gardens are nevertheless enthusiastic about the project's other benefits，such as education and bringing people happiness.I always tell people，Hortas Cariocas' dis the name of the project，but its surname is " Saving Lives"，says Ezequiel Dias Areas，who manages the team of gardeners in Manguinhos.Dias Areas was unemployed for five years before getting involved in 2013.Without the garden "today I might be doing something illegal，I might be dead，I might be in prison"，he says.

3．（10分）Microbiologists have designed a sustainable way to remove polluting microplastics from the environment by using bacteria.Initial design as it is，it paves the way for sustainably lowering plastic pollution levels and stop the"plastification".
Bacteria naturally tend to group together and stick to surfaces，and this creates a sticky material called"biofilm".Researchers at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University （PolyU） want to use this adhesive bacteria character and capture microplastics in polluted water to form an easily disposable and recyclable blob（团）.
Sylvia Lang Liu，microbiology researcher at PolyU and lead researcher on this project，together with his team，has engineered a bacterial biofilm，which can fix and absorb microplastics floating around in the water，and make them sink to the bottom of the water.Then the researchers can separate the microplastics from the bacteria traps and get them ready to recycle.
Microplastics are the plastic fragments，usually smaller than 5mm，which are accidentally released into the environment during production and breakdown of grocery bags or water bottles，or during everyday activities such as washing synthetic （合成的） clothes or using personal care products with scrubbing microbeads in them.Microplastics are visually tiny，making it challenging to develop effective solutions to trap，collect，and recycle them.
Microplastics are not easily biodegradable （生物降解的） ，so they stick around for long and absorb and accumulate poisonous chemicals.They spread into wastewater and into the oceans，endangering marine animals and even usually threatening human health，.Microplastics had be on found in more than 114 species living in the water and also salt，lettuce，apples，and more in 2018 according to the International Maritime Organization.
"This is an innovative application of biofilm engineering to address the plastic pollution crisis，" said Dr Joanna Sadler，researcher at University of Edinburgh，who was not involved in this study."One of the biggest challenges in dealing will microplastics is capturing such small particles Liu and co﹣workers have demonstrated an elegant solution to this problem，which holds great potential to be further developed into a real﹣world wastewater treatment technology，"
（1）Which of the following best explains the underlined word"adhesive" in Paragraph 2？
A.Floating.
B.Sticky.
C.Diverse.
D.Visual.
（2）Why are microplastics hard to capture？
A.They are visually too small.
B.They are hard to biodegrade.
C.They continue to exist for long.
D.They are poisonous chemicals.
（3）What can be learned from the last paragraph？
A.Small particles are essential to address water pollution .
B.Biofilm has been widely used to settle plastic pollution.
C.Sadler thinks little of the biofilm engineering application .
D.Biofilm application is promising for wastewater treatment.
（4）What is the text mainly about？
A.Microplastic removal.
B.Uses of bacteria.
C.Wastewater treatment.
D.Plastic pollution.
4．（10分） One recent report found that adults in the US check their phones，on average，344 times a day—once every four minutes—and spend almost three hours a day on their devices in total.The problem for many of us is that one quick phone﹣related task leads to a quick check of our email or social media feeds，and suddenly we've been trapped into endless scrolling （刷屏）.
What we do know is that the simple distraction of checking a phone or seeing a notification （提示） can have negative consequences.This isn't very surprising；we know that，in general multitasking harms memory and performance.One of the most dangerous examples is phone use while driving.One study found that merely speaking on the phone，not texting，was enough to make drivers slower to react on the road.It's true for everyday tasks，too.Simply hearing a notification "ding" made participants of another study perform far worse on a task﹣almost as badly as participants who were speaking or texting on the phone during the task.
In one recent study，for example，researchers asked participants to either put their phones next to them so they were visible （like on a desk），nearby and out of sight （like in a bag or pocket），or in another room.Participants then completed a series of tasks to test their abilities to process and remember information，their problem﹣solving，and their focus.
They were found to perform far better when their phones were in another room instead of nearby—whether visible，powered on or not.That held true even though most of the participants claimed not to be consciously thinking about their devices.
Our brains may be subconsciously hard at work in preventing the desire from checking our phones，or constantly monitoring the environment to see if we should check our phone （eg.waiting for a notification）.Either way，this distracted attention can make doing anything else more difficult.The only "fix"，the researchers found，was putting the device in a different room entirely.
（1）What did the recent report in Paragraph I find？
A．Multitasking is very dangerous.
B．Notification is always heard.
C．People are addicted to mobile phones.
D．People like doing phone﹣related tasks.
（2）How is the text developed？
A．By making comparisons.
B．By examining differences.
C．By following the order of importance.
D．By analyzing causes and giving examples.
（3）What should you do to prevent the desire of checking phones？
A．Do anything more difficult.
B．Use phones to do right things.
C．Monitor the environment around.
D．Stay away from phones entirely.
（4）What would be the best title for the text？
A．How do We Avoid the Distraction of Phones
B．Why Are People Fond of Using Mobile Phones
C．What Should We Do When Buying Mobile Phones
D．How Do We Do Research by Using Mobile Phones

7．【解答】（1）考查连词。句意：狮子山不仅是香港最著名的景点之一，更是象征着普通香港人为追求美好生活而不懈努力的精神象征。前后是转折关系，所以用but连接，故填but。
（2）考查动词不定式。句意：狮子山不仅是香港最著名的景点之一，更是象征着普通香港人为追求美好生活而不懈努力的精神象征。此处为动词不定式作后置定语修饰efforts，故填to live。
（3）考查副词。句意：狮子山精神也深深打动了香港以外的人，比如北京燕黄美术馆馆长、水墨艺术家崔晓东。修饰动词，所以用副词，表示抽象意义，故填deeply。
（4）考查冠词。句意：狮子山精神也深深打动了香港以外的人，比如北京燕黄美术馆馆长、水墨艺术家崔晓东。泛指一个，所以用不定冠词，ink是以元音音素开头的，故填an。
（5）考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：这座山像巨人一样屹立不倒，象征着香港人在过去数十年的艰难岁月中齐心协力、自强不息的精神。根据时间状语over the past decades，可知用现在完成时态，主语which指代先行词spirit，为不可数名词，故填has pulled。
（6）考查定语从句。句意：它是一代香港人的青春和活力的回忆，是他们努力使香港成为今天的样子。先行词为人，在定语从句中作主语，故填who/which。
（7）考查现在分词。句意：在他的画作中，崔描绘了狮子岩的悬崖，周围是盛开的树木，俯瞰着城市的摩天大楼。overlook和它所修饰的词之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词作后置定语，故填overlooking。
（8）考查介词。句意：这幅画创作于今年早些时候，目前正在纪念香港特别行政区成立25周年的"艺术家眼中的大湾区"展览上展出。on show"在展览"，为固定搭配，故填on。
（9）考查可数名词的复数。句意：展览展示了该地区的生态多样性，也向观众展示了自1997年以来成功的改革成果。作主语，表示"展品"，所以用exhibit，为可数名词，谓语用动词原形，所以用名词复数，故填exhibits。
（10）考查形容词。句意：展览展示了该地区的生态多样性，也向观众展示了自1997年以来成功的改革成果。作定语修饰名词，所以用形容词，故填successful。
