Her first harvest was a success; she was surprised that her black beans did better than her strawbemes.Ms Kim is part of a phenomenon called kitchen, or returning to rural life. Coined a millennium ago, the term crops up during periods of economic hardship. This time, in the wake of the pandemic, many new farmers have never lived in the countryside before. By planting young farmers in rural areas, the government hopes to enjoy big rewards in future.The plan is working. In 2021 nearly 380, 000 people moved to the countryside. Comfort with digital technology gives young farmers a leg up, says Cho Kyung-ik, the director of the Beginning Farmer's Centre, an institution educating those who wish to kwichon at its downtown offices. They sell fresh produce on Na ver, South Korea's largest search engine.The centre teaches techniques like how to use a tractor(拖拉机)or select the best crops. It arranges a trial period during which ambitious farmers work under the guidance of an old hand, learning what it means to do back-breaking labour from dawn to dusk.The most important lesson is how to get on with the locals. The villagers are also offered tips on how to act towards the newcomers. That part is not yet a total success. Ms Kim says her neighbours have a bad temper. "The old people come in here and give me unwanted advice, or say that I will never be able to grow anything, ,9she says. Her black beans beg to differ. She and the South Korean government will be hoping that her crops put the argument to rest for good.24. Why does the writer tell Ms Kim's story?A. To start a discussion.B. To introduce a topic.C. To explain a solution.D. To make a comparison.25. What does the underlined "a leg up“ in paragraph 3 mean?A. A new identity.B. A helping hand.C. A big reward.D. A different idea.26. What is the challenge for the young farmers?A. Farming techniques.B. Hard work.C. Communicative skills.D. Unwanted advice.27. What can we infer from kwichon in South Korea?A. Farming makes huge profits.B. Locals need technical training.C. It helps to revive rural areas.D. Government should help farmers.CFar below every town and city lies an invisible network of pipes crucial to the lives of their residents. Once water disappears down a pipe or toilet, it's out of sight, out of mind. The water flows into containers that carry rainwater, wastewater and solid waste away. There are three main types of sewers(卜水道):sanitary sewers, storm sewers and combined sewers. Among them, sanitary sewers function as a city's veins (静月永).Water containing human and industrial waste is collected in sanitary sewers and carried to wastewater treatment plants. There, the solid waste is separated from the water, which is then purified before being released back into the environment. It will be reused for industrial, agricultural or environmental purposes. Furthermore, the gas from water treatment can be used to produce energy. They not only contribute to a healthy environment and good quality of life, but also achieve the goal of sustainable development.While wastewater collection and treatment are critical to the health of urban residents, storm sewers also play an important role. In urban areas, green has given way to concrete. As a consequence, there has been a loss of the land's natural water retention as concrete cannot take in rain-water. When an extreme weather event causes heavy rain, storm sewers must cope with the water, so it does not flood the city. However, storm sewers are only part of the solution to water management and flood prevention.To reduce flooding, an integrated urban management plan has been adopted, where all the factors - storm sewers, land planning and economic development are considered together. Engineering innovations, additional facilities and increased green space requirements in new development projects have improved water retention in cities.Sewers help improve urban public health, prevent urban flooding and boost environmental protection.Together they protect vital water resources and maintain the safety of people and property. 28. What's the function of sanitary sewers?A. Cleaning dirtywater.B. Collecting solid waste.C. Delivering used water.D. Producing useful gas.29. What does the underlined word “retention” in paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Absorption.B. Treatment.C. Purification.D. Distribution.30. What's the author's purpose of writing paragraph 4?A. To explain a complicated theory.C. To raise improved suggestions. 31. What is the best title for the text?A. Urban Unseen NetworkC. Extreme Weather's SolutionB. To provide supporting facts.D. To describe a recent phenomenon.B. Modern City's ManagementD. Wastewater's Potential ThreatMany diseases and medical conditions are caused by things out of our control. Yet experts say you can control and even prevent many of the risk factors that increase your chances of dying. So doctors urge us to eat healthy foods, get exercise, stop smoking and limit our alcohol intake. But there is something else you can do. And it is free and easy - Smile!Anand Chockalingam is a heart disease specialist at University of Missouri Health Care in Columbia, Missouri. He advises his patients to smile, "When we smile, the brain wiring gets influenced. The chemicals that are released are more positive., He says smiling is a first step in fighting physical and emotional stress. This is not just New Age advice. Several studies are in favor of Dr. Chockaligam's prescription (处方)to smile more.The main cause of heart attacks and strokes are blockages in blood vessels (dll管).These prevent blood from flowing to the heart or the brain. The most common reason for these blockages is a build-up of fatty deposits on the inner walls of the arteries.When you feel stressed or under pressure, your body releases many natural hormones (激素)including adrenaline and cortisol. Adrenaline increases your heart rate and blood pressure. Cortisol is the body's main stress hormone. It increases sugar in the bloodstream. If you are truly in danger, these hormones can help you. They are part of what we call our fight-or-flight response.However, when stressed for a long period, these stress hormones are ever-present in our bodies. And that, medical researchers warn, may lead to health problems.Dr. Chockalingam says a smile may be one way to help. He tells his patients to smile 20 times an hour. To some, that might seem like a lot of smiling. Or some might even feel foolish . smiling for seemingly no reason. But a smile does not involve drugs or operations. It is free and it has no bad side effects.“Once people smile, they are relaxing. This relaxation directly lowers blood pressure, and improves sugar levels in the blood. If we are smiling, we are breaking that link between stress and health,and it just may provide a little extra protection to everyone heart health.32. What does the writer want to highlight in Paragraph 1?A. Taking more exercise.B. Smiling more.C. Avoiding smoking and alcohol.D. Controlling illness and death.33. Why is Anand Chockalingam mentioned?A. To show his talent.B. To support a conclusion.C. To describe several new studies.D. To analyze his patients, prescriptions.34. What does the underlined word “these“ in Paragraph 3 probably refer to?A. heart attacksB. blood vesselsC. strokesD. blockages35. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. The benefits of smiling.B. The advantages of relaxation.C. The effect of low blood pressure.D. The way of preventing stress hormone.第二节(共5小题;每小题2. 5分,满分12. 5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选 项。How we eat is changing drastically.
