In someareas ofCalifornia, it’s so dry that farmers aren’t willing to plant crops this season. Growers, north ofSan Francisco, have begun pulling out of local farmers markets.
CountyLineHarvest, which farms more than 30 acres inPetaluma, hasn’t had enough water to grow all the peppers, lettuces and other produce for a long time, according to a video on its Instagram page. Nearby farms arc saying the same, emphasizing (强调) the effect of theextendeddry periods.
Californiagrows a third of theUnited States' vegetables and two-thirds of the nation's fruits and nuts. If dry weather prevents farmers from growing plants, that could lead to pushing up the price of food that's already starting to affect theU.S.economy.
“Due to severe drought, for the first time in 21 years, we will not be able to grow this summer inPetaluma,"CountyLinesaid in its post.
Drew Lerner, president of World Weather Inc. inKansas, saidCalifornia“missed the rainy season" and won't see much moisture (水分) over the next several months.
A La Nina weather pattern in the Pacific pushed winter storms north and away from the state, leaving it with less moisture than usual. AsCaliforniagets most of its water from winter storms, little relief is expected before October.
That has left growers such as Shao Shan Fann in a bind. The business can’t offer the selection of Asian vegetables and Bay Area staples it usually grows at its Bolinas location, according to its website.
Nearby, Green Valley Community Farm has access to only about 5% of the water it usually relies on, owner David Plescia said. He’s looking for new land with enough water to use, and also has a permit in the works to grow cannabis to make up for the lost income. If it doesn’t make it, he’ll leave the fields empty.
“It’s part of our generation’s cross to bear, figuring out how to run small — or medium-scale farm businesses in this kind of atmosphere of highly variable rainfall,” Andrew said.
4. What does the underlined word “extended” in the second paragraph mean?
A. Hot.
B. Short.
C. Long.
D. Wonderful.
5. Which is the result if the dry weather stops famers from planting crops?
A. Theincreaseinthe priceof food.
B. The growth of economy inU.S.
C.Lessmoisture than usual.
D. The low price of Asian vegetables.
6. From what Andrew said, we can infer (推断) all of the following statements EXCEPT that________.
A. The climate is not very good
B. It is part of the burden for people of his generation
C. It is hard for him to run his farm businesses insuch bad climate
D. He is sure that the serious drought will come to an end soon
7. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. How do the famers run businesses inCalifornia.
B. How does the owner look for new land with enough water
C. California farmers facing drought choose not to plant crops.
D. The farm economy of theUnited Stateshas changed a lot.
C
As an eco-minimalist, Su Yige has maintained an environmentally friendly and sustainable lifestyle for the past three years while studying in Canada. She takes her own bag when she goes grocery shopping and uses second-hand items as often as possible. She avoids almost all paper-related products unless she has to use a public toilet while away from home.
Diligence and thrift are time-honored traditional Chinese virtues. Su's family is a good example of this, according to the native of Weihai, Shandong province. Although they have little formal “green” knowledge, her parents lead a very environmentally friendly life.
For example, the family has used the same hair dryer for more than a decade, and Su remembers many of her mother's clothes from as far back as kindergarten. “As long as something can still be used, my mother will not replace it with a new item,” she said.
“I frequently asked my father to bring the plastic bag back home after dumping our waste in the trash bin. He was unhappy, and argued that instead of making that request, I should go downstairs to dump the waste myself” she said. In another move, her father criticized her for doing too much shopping online. Eventually, they both made steps toward becoming better environmentalists. Her father brings the bag back for reuse and she has only bought two pieces of clothing online in the past six months.
Back in Canada, Su is looking forward to finding a job related to sustainable development in China after she graduates as a computer science major in the summer.
8. Which of the following best describes Su Yige?
A. Conservative.
B. Nostalgic.
C. Economical.
D. Productive.
9. What can be found about Su's mother according to the third paragraph?
A. She has a lot of formal green knowledge.
B. She regards using the same items as a lifestyle.
C. She always wears old clothes due to lack of money.
D. She will not replace the old items until they are out of style.
10. What can be inferred about Su and her father?
A. Both of them like to criticize each other.
B. Su's father is particular about her clothes.
C. The relationship between them is very tense.
D. They urge each other to become more environmentally friendly.
11. What can we learn about the author soon after she graduates in Canada?
A. She will stay there to look for a job.
B. She will put effort into computer science.
C. She will devote herself to her motherland's future.
D. She will come back to China to stay with her parents.
D
I was in the second year of my Ph. D. program when a colleague asked what I would do if I had an extra hour every day. Without much consideration, I said I would use it to help others. The question kept coming to my mind.
Like many graduate students, I was overwhelmed (难以承受的) with research, teaching, coursework, and some attempt at a personal life. Still, I asked myself, "Do I really need a 25th hour to help other people-or do I need to make better use of the 24 hours I have?"
I needed something to help me return to my old self. After that conversation with my colleague, I googled (谷歌搜索) “volunteer opportunities near me”. A local organization that drives people to stores or appointments was looking for volunteers. Having grown up in a rural village where everyone knew oneanother and my grandparents were always close by, I thought serving senior citizens in my new hometown might be just what I needed.
A short time later, I started to volunteer for an organization that provides transportation for senior citizens and people with disabilities. To my surprise, adding this activity to my busy life was just what I needed to calm the confusion I was feeling as a first-generation international graduate student.
I started to volunteer about 3 hours every weekend, the time I otherwise would have wasted oversleeping or scrolling (滚屏) through social media. Sharing stories with my riders was much more rewarding. What they told me about their lives helped me realize that in every corner of the world, humans are connected with the languageof emotions. And seeing how eager my riders were to spend time out and about inspired me to think about how to spend my time, which used to slip away. My previously overwhelming schedule began to feel manageable.
I'm proud of who I have become, and I continue to reflect on how I'm using the most valuable thing in life: my time.
12. Why did the author ask himself the question in Paragraph 1?
A. He wanted to return to normal life.
B. He was busy but wanted to help others.
C. He couldn't bear too much school work.
D. He couldn't answer his colleague's question.
13. How did the author find the volunteer job?
A. A colleague recommended it.
B. A local organization offered it.
C. He got it from his grandparents.
D. He got it by surfing on the Internet.
14. What made the author feel his volunteer job was worth doing?
A. Communicating with his riders.
B. Improving his language learning.
C. Meeting his grandparents often.
D. Realizing his previous dream.
15. How did volunteering influence the author?
A. It helped himbecome confident and efficient.
B. He found a good way to live a free and quiet life.
C. He realized he had wasted too much time pursuing his Ph.
D.
D. It inspired him to spare more time to accompany his grandparents.
