21、The World Economic Forum predicts the global population will hit 9.8 billion by 2050, which means we might need to grow as much as double the amount of food we do today and do it without significantly consuming limited resources such as land and water.

But there are reasons to be positive. Historically, human intelligence has risen to the population challenge. 8,000 years ago in the first agricultural revolution, the plough (犁) transformed productivity. In the 1 800s, inventions such as the seed drill brought a degree of mechanization to farming. Then, in the mid-20th century, there were major breakthroughs in artificial fertilizer and plant science.

Now, we are entering a fourth age of agriculture. Innovation is exploding. The digital transformation of agriculture is not theory. It’s real. And it’s having a huge impact across all aspects of farming.

In April 2020, Chinese drone (无人机) maker XAG organized a rice seeding demonstration in Guangdong province. First, it invited two workers to spread 5kg of rice seeds the traditional way- by wading across 1,200 square metres of waterlogged field. The laborious process took 25 minutes. Then it unleashed (释放) its XAG XPlanet drone on the same task. The unmanned aerial system followed a pre-programmed route and threw rice seeds from the air. It completed the job in 120 seconds. XAG claims its system can use up to 90 per cent less water and 30 percent fewer chemicals than traditional technique.

Barcelona-based startup Faromatics has also attracted a lot of attention for its EU-funded invention: a robot called the ChickenBoy. It lets chicken farmers autonomously monitor their stock. The robot glides along the ceiling and uses a set of sensors to measure temperature, air quality, light and sound in poultry housing. Farmers can use a cloud platform to set the ChiekenBoy to send mobile alerts.

The task of feeding 9.8 billion mouths by 2050 is one of the greatest facing humanity, but thanks to technology, there is good reason to be confident for the future.

【1】What is the purpose of paragraph 2?

A．To express the author’s confidence in the human wisdom.

B．To tell us some challenges in the agricultural development.

C．To show us the present situation of the world food shortage.

D．To call on the government to take some effective measures.

【2】What is the advantage of XAG XPlanet drone?

A．It saves more money than the manual seeding.

B．It’s more efficient and environmentally friendly.

C．It can rapidly reduce wastage and improve yields.

D．It helps farmers make better decisions about seeding.

【3】What can be inferred about the ChickenBoy?

A．Its system needs to be improved.

B．It aims to attract farmers’ attention,

C．It was invented y a chicken farmer.

D．It helps farmers look after the chicken.

【4】What does “human intelligence” refer to in the passage?

A．Smart farming.

B．Agricultural revolution.

C．Plant science.

D．Artificial intelligence.

22、You’ve probably heard this dental advice before: brush your teeth twice a day.【1】Here’s what experts have to say.

According to Dr. Mark Burhenne , a dentist based in Sunnyvale, California, the key to teeth protection is managing your biofilm(生物膜)—an outer coating on your teeth containing bacteria. In that biofilm are bacteria that pull certain minerals from saliva(唾液).【2】

When we eat things, especially sugary or acid foods, they will stick to our teeth.【3】The thicker and furry biofilm can no longer remineralize our teeth properly. The movement of the toothbrush is what breaks up the thickened biofilm so that it reforms into its natural thin and slippery state to protect teeth.

【4】 According to Alicia Murria, a dentist based in Washington, your toothpaste is going to help you to feel fresher. It’s also going to help to kill some of the bacteria inside your mouth. But the most important step in keeping your teeth clean is good brushing technique. By brushing each tooth and slightly sweeping the gum line with your brush at a 45-degree angle, you’ll be able to remove plaques(牙斑). If your brushing technique is good, even a toothbrush with water can be enough.

Murria suggests brushing your teeth first thing in the morning, before eating breakfast. If you do happen to eat first, make sure you wait at least 30 minutes before brushing. The acid from the meal softens the enamel(牙釉质).【5】

A．But whose advice should we follow?

B．The biofilm layer will get thicker and thicker.

C．But why and how are we supposed to do it?

D．Choose the right toothpaste that suits you best.

E．Funny enough, toothpaste actually does less work than you think.

F．These minerals are pulled into the teeth to prevent them from going bad.

G．So if you brush too soon you could damage that typically hard, shiny protective layer.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写 词数应为150左右。

My wife, Megan, and I went out to dinner with an old friend who we had not seen in a while. There had been some talk of COVID-19 （新型冠状病毒）on the news, but it was early in the outbreak and people were still going about their daily routines. Even though everyone in our group felt perfectly fine, we took precautions（预防）：We washed our hands with soap , did not share food and had no significantly close contact.

A few days later, our friend called and told us that she had tested positive for the coronavirus. She had felt some mild symptoms（症状）for a day or so after that dinner and was able to be tested because she is a doctor. On the following day, started to feel a little tired and my head was a bit cloudy. I decided to stay in the master bedroom away from the rest of my family. The next morning. I woke up with a 39-degree fever. That was when we realized that I might have caught the virus from our friend.

At once, Megan called our state's coronavirus hotline, who then called in our primary care doctor and the head of our local hospital system's coronavirus team. We explained that we had been in contact with someone who had been tested positive, and I was having symptoms. They quickly approved me to receive a test at an urgent care center located five minutes' drive from my house. The result made my heart sank — I was also tested positive, and the local hospital wasn't equipped with the facilities to treat my disease. As a mild case, I was recommended to stay at home and quarantine （隔离）myself.

Following the doctor's advice, Megan and I quarantined ourselves and our children. With my developed symptoms , I started isolation in the bedroom, and the only interaction I had with Megan was when she brought in food. Megan slept on a small couch in our home office away from the kids' rooms. She also minimized her contact with our kids in case she was carrying the virus.

注意：

1.续写词数应为150左右；2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

We decided to call everyone we had been in contact with over the course of the past week.
