阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项
A
Try one of these amazing destinations on your next vacation.
Mallorca
On the popular Spanish island of Mallorca, farmhouse inns focus more on providing isolation and quietness than offering hands-on farming experiences. With millions of visitors staying on the beaches of Mallorca and the other Balearic Islands each summer, a little bit of isolation is a good thing for aloneness-seeking travelers. Mainly located in the hills of inland Mallorca, these inns range from rustic century-old farmhouses to luxury(奢侈的) villas with spas and swimming pools.
Hawaii
People who don't want to dig out their passport but still want their farm adventure can head to the island of Hawaii. The 50th state talks much about the well-developed farm tourism industry that can hold people with different interests. Agritourism choices range from visiting coffee plantations(种植园) in the Big Island's Kona region to exploring the plantations on Maui to staying on farms on the easily reachable island of Oahu. California
California is one ofthe best places in the U. S. to enjoy a farm-stay, thanks to the diversity of crops and farms. Small family farms and large farms offer a more hands-on approach to agritourism. Many of them teach small-scale farming techniques and even offer strategies for organic growing. The University of California system, one of the largest state-run higher education systems in the U.S., has a small-farm program that helps growers create agritourism businesses.
Philippine Islands
With diverse conditions on different islands, the Philippine Islands are ideal places for visiting multiple agritourism sites or focusing on one product. Tourists can visit a huge pineapple plantation for a taste of large-scale agriculture, or they could focus on smaller operations such as bee farms, and even small plantations that specialize in growing tropical produce such as dragon fruit.
1. What kind of people will choose to go to Mallorca?
A. Those who prefer peace of mind.
B. Those who like lying on the beach.
C. Those who enjoy the luxury of tourism.
D. Those who want to experience farming.
2. What can people do on the Philippine Islands?
A. Live in farmhouses.
B. Visit plantations.
C. Learn farming techniques.
D Take part in a farm program.
3. What are the four places in the text famous for?

B
Is renting clothes greener than buying them? Sustainable (可持续的) fashion expert Elizabeth Cline isn’t sure. Clothing renting is a hot new industry and businessmen are trying to attract shoppers who care about the environment. Last summer alone,Urban Outfitters, Macy’s, Bloomingdale’s American EagleandBanana Republicall announced renting services – a sure sign of changing times.
But is renting fashion actually more environmentally-friendly than buying it? And if so, how much more? Journalist and author Elizabeth Cline researched this question in a feature article for Elle, and she concluded that it’s not as sustainable as it seems.
Take shipping for example, which has to go two ways if an item is rented – receiving and returning. Cline writes that consumer transportation has the second largest carbon footprint of our collective fashion habit after manufacturing.
Then there’s the burden of washing, which has to happen for every item when it’s returned, regardless of whether or not it was worn. For most renting services, this usually means dry-cleaning, which is a polluting process. All the renting services that Cline looked into have replaced perchloroethylene, a carcinogenic (致癌的) air pollutants that’s still used by 70 percent of US dry cleaners, with hydrocarbon (碳氢化合物) alternatives, although these aren’t great either. They can produce harmful waste and air pollution if not handled correctly.
Lastly, Cline fears that renting services will increase our appetite for fast fashion, simply because it’s so easily
accessible. There’s something called “share-washing” that makes people have more wasteful behaviors because a product or service is shared and thus is considered more eco-friendly. Uber is one example of this: advertised as a way to share rides and reduce car ownership, and yet it has been proven to discourage walking, bicycling and public transportation use.
Renting clothes is still preferable to buying them cheap and throwing them into the bin after wearing them a few times, but we shouldn’t let the availability of these services make us self-satisfied. There’s an even better step – and that’s wearing what we already have.
4. What do we know about Elizabeth Cline from the passage?
A. She is trying to attract shoppers.
B. She is an expert and journalist.
C. She has created “share-washing”.
D. She never rents clothes.
5. Why does renting services increase people’s appetite for fast fashion?
A. Because it is handled correctly.
B. Because it is transported easily.
C. Because it is fairly eco-friendly.
D. Because it is easily accessible.
6. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Clothing renting became popular ten years ago.
B. Consumer transportation has the largest carbon footprint.
C. Renting clothes deserves further consideration.
D. Uber is a good example of sharing rides.
7. Which section of a newspaper does the text probably come from?
A. Environment.
B. Technology.
C. Travel.
D. Medicine.
C
Jake Oldershaw and his daughter Mollie from Birmingham, Britain have asthma (哮喘). Mollie, 11, has required hospital treatment several times while Jake Says he always finds breathing more difficult when there is heavy traffic. Air quality has an enormous impact on their lives and both noticed a marked improvement during the spring lockdown because of the epidemic (疫情). Jake said, “During lockdown there was a noticeable difference in air quality. I didn't suffer any asthmatic attacks during that period. These days you can feel the effects.”
However, under current COVID-19 restrictions in the UK this winter, many people probably will have to work from home. The Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit (ECIU) says while emissions (排放) have dropped this year
because we've been travelling less and doing less, the expected use ofgas boilers to provide heating and hot water could rise by more than half.
Heating accounts for nearly 37% of the UK's total carbon emissions. Modelling by the ECIU suggests a 56% increase in boiler usage this winter resulting in a 12% increase in emissions of carbon. The ECIU says that's enough to offset the last two years' worth of progress on reducing traffic emissions.
Jess Ralston, author of the analysis for the ECIU, said, “Working from home and having increased gas use in the home could be really critical for air pollution and also climate change. The way we heat our homes needs to change if we are to get to net zero by 2050.”
Jess Ralston said, “The increase in pollution from gas boilers expected this winter provides a graphic illustration (图解) of their forgotten role in air pollution. And it is a role set to continue without practical policies to decarbonize home heating. ”
The government is set to publish its Heat and Buildings Decarbonisation Strategy in a few weeks which is expected to give details on plans to try to switch British homes to cleaner sources of heat.
8. How did the spring lockdown in the UK affect Jake?
A. He was cured of his asthma.
B. He had to go to hospital for retreatment.
C. He suffered a noticeable difficulty in study.
D. He didn't suffer any asthmatic attacks during that period.
9. What is concerning the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit?
A. The epidemic will become worse.
B. Air pollution will get worse this winter.
C. People may have to work from home longer.
D. There is less energy for gas boilers in winter.
10. What would Jess Ralston agree with?
A. People prefer to work from home in winter.
B. The government failed to protect the environment.
C. People tend to ignore the harmful effect of home heating.
D. The climate has suffered a lot from the epidemic this year.
11. How to improve air quality during winter according to Jess Ralston?
A. A warmer winter season.
B. Less and less gas boilers.
C. Practical plans from the government.
D. Improved awareness of cutting down pollution.

Over the years, NASA has successfully sent several rovers (飞行器) to Mars. While the science laboratories continue to provide important information on the Red Planet, they keep the space exploration rovers staying closeto the original landing place.To get a more comprehensive (详尽的) view of Mars, the US Space Agency plans to make a small test helicopter with the Mars 2020 Rover, which will be sent off in July 2020.
The football-sized “marscopter” weighs about four pounds.It can fly at about ten times the speed of helicopters on Earth. The light weight and fast speed are important for the helicopter to be able to fly in the thin Mars atmosphere, which is about just one percent of that of Earth. “To make it fly in that thin Mars atmosphere, we had to make everything ready, and make it as light as possible while being as strong and powerful as it can possibly be. “Mimi Aung, Mars helicopter project manager, said in a meeting.
Upon landing on the Red Planet, the Mars 2020 Rover will find a proper location to send of the helicopter. The helicopter will start with a short climb, no higher than 10 feet, and hover (盘旋) for just 30 seconds before landing back on the Mars surface. If all goes well, five more flights of longer distances, for 90 seconds each, will be conducted over the next 30 days. The short journeys will be recorded by a small camera and sent back to the scientists on Earth.
If the plan goes on well, the first helicopter to fly in another world, will open up a whole new way to explore Mars. The Mars helicopter's first flight will be a great invention. For those of us whose research is about flight, that would be a wonderful, historic moment.
12. To fly in thin Mars atmosphere,we should make the helicopter_______.
A. strong and heavy
B. heavy and fast
C. light and fast
D. strong and slow
13. How many times will the helicopter fly?
A. Three times
B. Four times
C. Five times
D. Six times
14. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. It’s interesting to fly in another world.
B. I' s important to fly in another world.
C. The plan to fly the helicopter goes on well.
D. The helicopters first flight is successful.
15. What may be the best title for the passage?
A. To send a helicopter to Mars in 2020
B. To send a rover to Mars in 2020
C. To live in the thin Mars atmosphere
D. To send back records to scientists
