Mark Hoffman and his wife own a bed-and-breakfast guesthouse in rural Kempton, Illinois. They often serve their guests fresh products from the garden.
The Hoffmans have been growing food and flowers for twenty-five years. For almost ten of those years, Mr. Hoffman has been experimenting(做实验) and working with shade plantings. He says, "The bottom line here is that most plants will produce more in full sun. But if you do not have full sun, there are other choices."
For example, he grows tomatoes near oak trees. Oak trees(橡树) can produce a lot of shade. But Mr. Hoffman says his tomato plants grow as long as they get five hours' direct sunshine a day, especially morning sun. Not only does this go against the traditional advice that tomatoes need six, eight, even twelve hours' full sun a day, it also shows how plants and tree roots(树根) can share nutrients(养分) and water. Mr. Hoffman also planted asparagus(芦笋) around a tree. When it rains, all the rain from the leaves of the tree drops down right on the asparagus.
Mr. Hoffman says plants with wider leaves seem to do better in shady environments. He also found that his potatoes did better partly in shade than in full sun.
Moving them out of the sun helped control an insect problem with leaf hoppers. Mr. Hoffman does not use pesticide(杀虫剂). Instead, he planted the potatoes in the shade, especially on the east side of the tree. The potatoes get morning sun, but they are shaded during the hottest part of the day. Leaf hoppers dislike shade, and the hottest part day is when they do the worst of their damage(破坏).
Time of day, brightness of the sun, shadows from trees, walls and buildings all influence how much sunlight falls or does not fall on plants. People who are interested in shade planting should also consider different conditions which planting vegetables in the shade.
36.What can we infer from the second paragraph
A. Food and flowers produce more in the shade.
B. Food and flowers can’t grow without full sun.
C. Planting food in the shade is the best choice.
D. Sun can influence the production of some plant.
37.By using asparagus as an example, the writer wants to explain that ________.
A. how plants and trees share water
B. vegetables grow better in the shade
C. how leaves get sunshine under the tree
D. asparagus prefers to grow in the shade
38.The underlined words "leaf hoppers" in Paragraph 5 may be a kind of ______.
A. plants B. insects C. pesticides D. potatoes

B. To recommend a method of managing a website.

Lake Victoria is the largest lake in Africa. It is also the second largest lake in the world. It is an important lake because it is one of the sources for the longest river in the world, the Nile River. Lake Victoria provides a source of water, food, and power for several African countries. Lake Victoria is a big part of African life.
Unfortunately, Lake Victoria has a problem. It is shrinking. There are several power stations at Lake Victoria in Uganda. These are on the Nile River, and besides producing power, they keep the water of the lake at a certain level. For the past forty years, that level has been 11.9 meters. Over the last several years, the water level has dropped by about 2.5 meters. There seem to be several reasons for this drop.
One possible reason is drought(干旱). Drought has been very bad in the area since 2000. Lake Victoria gets all of its water from rain, so the drought means less water in the lake.
However, some environmentalists believe that the real problem is the power plants(factories) on Lake Victoria. Uganda depends on those power plants for most of its power, and they made the power plants larger in 2000. Many people believe the power plants have been taking too much water off Lake Victoria. As a result, they have been asked to use less water until Lake Victoria goes back to its old level.
Whether the low water level is caused by drought or power plants, the result is the same. This is already a poor area of Africa, where many people live a really hard life. People, animals and plants around Lake Victoria will suffer even more from low water levels on the lake. Many people need Lake Victoria for fishing or growing food. Fish need the water to live, and animals need it for water.
41.Lake Victoria is _________.
A. an important lake in Africa
B. the largest lake in the world
C. the source of water, food and power for America
D. the only source for the Nile River
42.What does the underlined sentence "It is shrinking" most probably mean
A. It is becoming larger. B. It is becoming more beautiful.
C. It is becoming smaller. D. It is becoming more useful.
43.The water level of Lake Victoria is now ________.
A. 2.5 meters B. 11.9 meters C. 14.4 meters D. 9.4 meters
44.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage
A. Rain water is the only source for the lake.
B. There has been little rain in the lake area since 2000.
C. The power plants in Uganda provide water for the lake.
D. The power plants in Uganda were made larger in 2000.
45.According to the passage, how can we solve the problems around Lake Victoria
A. People must build more power plants.
B. More sources of water must be found.
C. Every country should offer some money to Africa.
D. All the people living in the area should move to another place.

答案和解析
1.【答案】C
【解析】句意：——我听说你去看了《第二十条》这部电影，那不无聊吗？——一点也不。这是最令人兴奋的电影之一。
考查冠词和情景交际。the那个，表示特指；a一个，修饰辅音音素开头的单数可数名词；第一空根据“...film called Article 20”可知，特指名叫《第二十条》的电影，因此用定冠词the修饰。Yes, it’s interesting是的，很有趣；Yes, it’s boring是的，很无聊；Not at all一点也不；Of course当然。根据“It’s one of the most exciting films.”可知，它是最激动人心的电影之一，因此不是无聊的，故选C。
2.【答案】B
【解析】句意：——印度的人口是多少？——它比中国的少。
考查特殊疑问句、代词辨析以及比较级。根据“the population of India”可知询问人口的多少，疑问词用what；修饰人口的多少用large或者small；第三空指代前文提到的population，用that代替。故选B。
3.【答案】A
【解析】句意：玛丽的哥哥于2019年加入海军，此后一直在海军服役。
考查动词时态及词义辨析。join指加入某个组织或团体；join in指参加某个活动。由“the navy”可知，此处表示加入海军，用join。由“in 2019”可知，空一时态用一般过去时，因此用joined，排除BC选项；由“since then”可知，空二用现在完成时，且动词须用延续性动词，join为短暂性动词，对应的延续性动词为be in。故选A。
4.【答案】D

7.【答案】A
【解析】句意：——听，校长正在演讲！——真的？请你把要点记录下来好吗？我现在很忙。
考查动词辨析。record记录；receive接收；reach到达；realize意识到；根据“Listen! The headmaster is making a speech!”可知，此处问的是“可不可以记录要点”。故选A。
8.【答案】C
