D.Culture.【答案】21.B22.D23.D【解析】【導語】本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了二十四節氣中的小滿時節值得我們注意的一些傳統和建議。【21題詳解】細節理解題。根據第三段“Thistimeisagoodperiodofthequickgrowthofflowers.Itisalsoaseasonwhenplantdiseasesandpestsareatanalltimehigh,whichmakescaringforyourgardenevenmorecritical.(此時正是鮮花快速生長的好時期，也是植物病蟲害高發的季節，因此花園的護理就顯得更加重要。)”可知，小滿是照料花園的重要時期。故選B。【22題詳解】細節理解題。根據最后一段“Thosewhoengageinthesilkindustrythankthedeitybyofferingsacrificesandstagingperformances.(從事絲綢業的人們則以祭祀、表演等方式感謝神靈。)”可知，在小滿時期，絲綢行業的人們往往會舉辦表演來感謝神靈。故選D。【23題詳解】推理判斷題。根據第一段“ThetraditionalChinesesolarcalendardividestheyearinto24solarterms.GrainBuds(小滿),the8thsolartermofayear,beginsonMay21thisyear,andendsonJune5.Itmeansthattheseedsfromthegrainarebeingfullbutarenotripe.Let’sseewhatwecandoduringthe“GrainBuds”period.(中國傳統陽歷將一年分為二十四個節氣。小滿是一年中的第八個節氣，今年從5月21日開始，到6月5日結束。這意味著谷粒正在飽滿但尚未成熟。讓我們看看在“小滿”期間我們可以做些什么。)”可知，文章介紹了二十四節氣中的小滿時節，本文可以在報紙的文化欄目看到。故選D。BUnlikemostofherpeerswholefttheirruralhometowns,34yearoldNingFenfangleftherjobinHangzhou,Zhejiangprovincein2017andworkedasavillageofficialinherhometown—amountainousvillageinCilicountyinZhangjiajie,Hunanprovince.Nowshefarmsover66.7hectaresofland.Seeingmuchofthefarmlandhadbeendeserted,Ningresignedfromherpostin2020andbecameafulltimefarmer,rentingthefarmlandandhiringvillagerstoworkit.Shefoundedacentreforhousewivesinthevillagetoworkherfarmlandduringbusyhours.“It’snevereasy,”saidNing.Itisveryrareforyoungpeopletobeefarmersinruralareas,asfarmingislaborintensiveandrequiresconstantworkinthemud.What’smore,farmingisoftenseenasajob“unsuitable”forboththepost90sgenerationandwomeningeneral.Herdecisiontobeeafarmerconfusedmanyofherfellowvillagersandfarmingwasmuchmoredifficultthanshehadimagined.Sheexperiencedtremendouspainduetotheintensivelabour.Atfirst,shedidn’tfarmmuchthroughlackoffarmingknowledge,soshedidn’tfeelpressuredtosucceed.Later,shedecidedtoexpandthescaleandspentmillionsofyuan.“Mostofthemoneyisborrowedfrombanks,familiesandrelatives,sothereisnoturningback,”shesaid.Weighinguptheprosandcons,herhusbandultimatelygaveuphisbusinesstoworkwithher.Shehastriedtoturnfarmingintoa“trendy”job.Insteadoftraditionalfarmingmethodswhichrelyonhumanlabor,Ningpromotesmechanizedfarming,suchasusingharvesters,cultivatorsanddrones.ShealsoplanstoexploretheagriculturaltourismresourcesinZhangjiajieforchildrenlivinginurbanareastoexperiencefarming.Beingelectedtothe14thNationalPeople’sCongresshasmotivatedNingtofeelresponsibleforfellowfarmers.“NPCdeputiesfromthegrassrootsneedtoconsiderruralfarmers’needsandbringtheirvoicestothetwosessions,”Ningsaid.24.Whatcanbeinferredfromthepassage?A.Ningfacilitatedthedevelopmentoflocalagriculture.B.Ningwasonceelectedtothe14thNationalPeople’sCongress.C.NingwaspessimisticaboutherworkandherfutureinHangzhou.D.Thelocalsfoundherdecisiontobeeafarmerrealisticatfirst.25.What’sParagraph3mainlyabout?A.Ninggraduallyexpandedthescaleofherbusiness.B.Ninglackedadequateknowledgeaboutagriculture.C.Ningdidwhatittooktoinvestheavilyinherbusiness.D.Ningfacedmorechallengesinfarmingthanshehadfigured.26.WhatsetsNing’sfarmingapartfromtraditionalfarming?A.Theexpansionofagriculturaldimensions.B.Therestrictionofagriculturalimplements.C.Theemploymentofagriculturalmachinery.D.Theexplorationofagriculturaltourismresources.27.WhichofthefollowingcanbestdescribeNingFenfang?A.Desperateandconsiderate.

D.Sensitiveandaggressive.【答案】24.A25.D26.C27.C【解析】【導語】這是一篇記敘文，主要講述了寧芬芳從城市回到農村，成為一名農民的故事，她通過創新的方式改變了農業的傳統模式，使農業變得更加現代化。【24題詳解】推理判斷題。根據文章第二段“Seeingmuchofthefarmlandhadbeendeserted,Ningresignedfromherpostin2020andbecameafulltimefarmer,rentingthefarmlandandhiringvillagerstoworkit.”（看到許多農田被荒廢，寧在2020年辭去職務，成為全職農民，租用農田，雇傭村民來耕種。）”第四段“Insteadoftraditionalfarmingmethodswhichrelyonhumanlabor,Ningpromotesmechanizedfarming,suchasusingharvesters,cultivatorsanddrones.ShealsoplanstoexploretheagriculturaltourismresourcesinZhangjiajieforchildrenlivinginurbanareastoexperiencefarming.”（寧提倡使用收割機、耕耘機和無人機等機械化耕作方式，而不是依靠人力的傳統耕作方式。她還計劃開發張家界的農業旅游資源，讓生活在城市的孩子們體驗農業。）可推知，寧芬芳推動了當地農業的發展。故選A。【25題詳解】主旨大意題。根據第三段““It’snevereasy,”saidNing.Itisveryrareforyoungpeopletobeefarmersinruralareas,asfarmingislaborintensiveandrequiresconstantworkinthemud.What’smore,farmingisoftenseenasajob“unsuitable”forboththepost90sgenerationandwomeningeneral.Herdecisiontobeeafarmerconfusedmanyofherfellowvillagersandfarmingwasmuchmoredifficultthanshehadimagined.Sheexperiencedtremendouspainduetotheintensivelabour.Atfirst,shedidn’tfarmmuchthroughlackoffarmingknowledge,soshedidn’tfeelpressuredtosucceed.Later,shedecidedtoexpandthescaleandspentmillionsofyuan.“Mostofthemoneyisborrowedfrombanks,familiesandrelatives,sothereisnoturningback,”shesaid.Weighinguptheprosandcons,herhusbandultimatelygaveuphisbusinesstoworkwithher.”（“這從來都不容易，”寧說。在農村，年輕人成為農民是非常罕見的，因為農業是勞動密集型的，需要經常在泥濘中工作。更重要的是，務農通常被視為“不適合”90后和一般女性的工作。她要當農民的決定讓許多村民感到困惑，務農比她想象的要困難得多。由于高強度的勞動，她經歷了巨大的痛苦。起初，由于缺乏農業知識，她不怎么種地，所以她沒有感到要成功的壓力。后來，她決定擴大規模，花了幾百萬元。她說:“大部分錢都是從銀行、家人和親戚那里借來的，所以沒有回頭路。”權衡利弊，她的丈夫最終放棄了自己的生意，和她一起工作。）可知，第三段主要是關于寧在農業上面臨的挑戰比她想象的要多。故選D。【26題詳解】細節理解題。根據文章第四段“Insteadoftraditionalfarmingmethodswhichrelyonhumanlabor,Ningpromotesmechanizedfarming,suchasusingharvesters,cultivatorsanddrones.”（寧芬芳提倡機械化農業，如使用收割機、耕種機和無人機，而不是依賴人力的傳統農業方法。）可推知，寧芬芳的農業與傳統農業的不同之處在于她采用了農業機械。故選C。【27題詳解】推理判斷題。根據文章第三段“It’snevereasy,”saidNing.Itisveryrareforyoungpeopletobeefarmersinruralareas,asfarmingislaborintensiveandrequiresconstantworkinthemud.What’smore,farmingisoftenseenasajob“unsuitable”forboththepost90sgenerationandwomeningeneral.”（“這絕非易事，”寧說。年輕人在農村成為農民是非常罕見的，因為農業勞動強度大，需要在泥地里不斷工作。更重要的是，農業通常被視為對90后一代和女性來說“不適合”的工作。）和第四段“Insteadoftraditionalfarmingmethodswhichrelyonhumanlabor,Ningpromotesmechanizedfarming,suchasusingharvesters,cultivatorsanddrones.”（寧芬芳提倡機械化農業，如使用收割機、耕種機和無人機，而不是依賴人力的傳統農業方法。）可推知，寧芬芳堅韌不拔，富有創新精神。故選C。CYou’llboostyourbrainpowerifyoubravetheunknown,saysourmemoryexpert,JonathanHancock.There’salottocopewithwhenyougoofftouniversity,andtheacademicworkisjustthestart.Therearenewfriendstomeet,newopportunitiestochoosebetween,newresponsibilitiestoaccept...and,formoststudents,apletelynewcitytoexplore.WerecentlydroveourdaughterEvie150milestostartlifeasafresher.Itwasastruggletofindthecarpark,letalonenavigatethemazeofcorridorsthatledtoherroom.Beforeweleftthatevening,we’dtakenhertothelocalsupermarket,andweknewthatshehadflatmatesandphoneappstogetherorientated.Butthescaleofthechallengeaheadwasclear—tofindherwayinanunfamiliarworld.ThegoodnewsforEvie—andlearnerseverywhereisthatexploringnewhabitatsishugelybeneficialtomemory.Inarecentstudy,volunteerswalkedaroundasimulatedforestenvironment.Thensomeofthemtookthesamewalkagain,whileothersexploredadifferentforest.Andthatsecondgroupperformedsignificantlybetterinmemorytestsstraightafter.Accordingtotheresearchers,thatwasbecausenavigatingthenewenvironmentstimulatedtheirdopamine(多巴胺)systemssettinguptheirbrainsforlearning.Soleavinghometostudyforadegreemakesperfectsense.What’smore,youngmindsseemtogainmostfrombeinginstrangesurroundings.Butwemayallbeabletogainsomeofthebenefits,evenifit’sjustbystimulatingoursensesandchallengingourthinkingskills.Herearethreethingstotry:(1)Gosomewherenewtotackleanupinglearningtask—likememorizingaspeechinthelibraryorrevisingforanexamonaparkbench—andtakeanunfamiliarroutetogetthere.(2)Playvideogamesthatgetyoumovingthroughnewlandscapes.Thenseewhetheritimprovesyoursuccesswithotherlearningtasks,likepractisingadanceormasteringphrasesforaforeigntrip.(3)Getlostinyourimagination!Towarmyourselfupforlearning,pictureacityyouknowwell,butimagineyou’restrandedinapartofitthatyou’venevervisited.Thentrytofancyexactlyhowyou’llgetout.28.WhathappenedwhentheysenttheirdaughtertoherschoolaccordingtoParagraph3?A.Theyfoundaparkforalltheirefforts.
