busiestI'veeverseen.Thesixcashregistershadtobekeptopenfrom10a.m.untilit

2.B推理判断题。根据第三段第一句"Sincethen,theatmosphereinthestore

hasbeendifferent.”可知，疫情暴发后，整个杂货店里的气氛都变了，结合本段给出的

人们对咳嗽、打喷嚏的人很敏感以及用购物袋包住头部都不难看出，人们对于疫

情是感到恐慌的。故选B项。

3.A推理判断题。根据最后一段的第一句"Therestillhavebeensome

momentsofkindnessinthemidstofthechaos.”和最后一句"We'llappreciatethe

distraction,andyou'llmakeourdayjustabitbrighter.“可知，作者处在新冠月巾炎疫，情

的紧张气氛下，还是比较冷静的，也能关注到周围发生的一些美好的事情，同时对

关心自己的人表示感激,应该是比较积极乐观的。故选A项。

4.D主旨大意题。根据第一段可知,作者身为杂货店的工作人员，本文讲述的

事发生之前的天气状况,旨在给故事提供背景，故选B项。

tocheckonthecattle...”可知，父亲那个周日去牧场是为了核实牛的情况是否正常,

故C项正确。

andoff,hopingthatPapawouldseethemflashing,butthesandstormletnolight

escape.ThenIpushedthehornagainandagain,soPapawouldhearit.“可知，作者通过

不断地闪车灯和按喇叭的方式引导父亲来卡车这个临时庇护处躲避沙尘暴，故选

C项。

4.A推理判断题。根据第三段尾句以及第五段描述的作者尝试各种方

式将父亲引到车里躲避可知，作者是冷静的;根据第五段第二、三句可知，尽管作者

很害怕，但她还是冲进沙尘暴去帮助父亲，由此可知作者是勇敢的，故A项正确。

D.lbarguethatvegetablesdonotneedtobeimportedanylonger.

l.B推理判断题。根据第二段第四句"Therefbre,withouttakingtimeto

understandthescience,verticalfarmingisnotlikelytobeabletoliveuptoitsimplied

promise.”可知，如果不花时间去了解科学，垂直农业就不可能实现其潜在的前景。

由此可推知，垂直农业的发展依赖更多的基础科学的研究，故选B项。

2.B细节理解题。根据第三段第二句"Dr.LouisAlbrightatCornellhas

characterizedverticalfarmsasthe'pie-in-the-sky'business.”及下文歹U举的他预测使

用垂直农业生产会使一条面包过贵可知,Dr.LouisAlbright认为垂直农业似乎不太

可能成功。故选B项。

3.D段落大意题。根据第四段第一句中的“verticalfarmingdoescreate

enormousefficienciesinotherareas”及本段最后一句"It'sclearthatverticalfarming

offersrealvaluetosociety.”可知，垂直农业确实在其他领域创造了提高功效的方法,

为社会提供了真正的价值;该段第二、三句列举了垂直农业具体在哪些领域创造

了提高功效的方法。由此可知,本段主要讲的是垂直农业的好处。故选D项。

4.A推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句"Thefutureisprobablymixed.”和本

段中的"Insomeenvironments"”1!！otherenvironments”可知,本段主要讲了在不同

的环境中垂直农业未来的情况不同；又根据本段第三句中的“canusesolar

energy...shadingotherfarmland"可知，歹!J举“anindoorfarminSaudiArabia”的例子，

是为了说明在有些地方垂直农业可以运转良好。故选A项。
