(有些微生物已经存活了数千年，除了地震或火山爆发的变化，它们几乎没有移动过。)”可知，有些微生物基本上是没有移动过的。故选D。【9题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中“Theteamconsistsof1,200scientistsfrom52countriesindisciplinesrangingfromgeologyandmicrobiologytochemistryandphysics.

(该团队由来自52个国家的1200名科学家组成，他们的学科从地质学、微生物学到化学和物理学。)”可知，该研究团队是由来自52个国家的1200名科学家组成，他们的学科从地质学、微生物学到化学和物理学即该研究涉及许多领域的努力。故选B。【10题详解】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Thescientistshavebeenwonderingaboutthepointbeyondwhichlifecannotexist,butthedeepertheydig,themorelifetheyfind.

(科学家们一直想知道生命不可能存在的临界点，但他们挖得越深，发现的生命就越多。)”可知，研究者们一直深挖的理由在于探索生命寻深度极限。故选B。【11题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Earthisfarmorealivethanwepreviouslythought,accordingto“deeplife”studiesthatrevealarichundergroundecosystembeneathourfeetthatisalmosttwicethesizeofalltheworld’soceans.

(根据“深层生命”研究，地球比我们以前想象的要活跃得多，我们脚下有一个丰富的地下生态系统，几乎是世界上所有海洋的两倍大。)”以及通读全文可知，文章介绍的是科学家对地球深部生命展开了“深层生命”研究，揭示了我们脚下一个丰富的地下生态系统，其大小近乎是全球海洋大小的两倍。结果表明，地球70%的细菌和古菌存在于地下，一些微生物已经存活了数千年，仅在地震或喷发时才移动。虽然存在极端高温、无光和巨大的压力，但科学家估计约有150至230亿吨微生物和细菌在地下生活。这项成果发表在美国地球物理联合会年会上。故A选项“EarthDepthsAreFullofLife.(地球深处充满了生命。)”概括文章主旨，符合标题。故选A。DWorkstartsearlyonWhiteGateFarminEastLyme,Connecticut.By7a.m.,farmmanagerDanWoodwasattheEastLymePostOfficedroppingoffaboxoffreshproducethatlaterinthedaywouldbedeliveredbymailtoChelseaGubbins,wholivesacrosstown.WhiteGateFarmisamemberofFarmersPost,apilotprogrammethatenablessmallholderfarmsacrosseasternConnecticuttoshipfreshproduceandotherfarmproductstolocalhouseholdsthroughtheUnitedStatesPostalService(USPS).FarmersPosttakesadvantageofaUSPSprogrammecalledConnectLocalthatallowssmallbusinessestooffersamedayandnextdaydeliveryatafixedlowcost.Foodremainsinthefieldsbecauseeithermarketpricesaretooloworthecostoftheworkforceistoohigh,orbecausethesizeandshapeoftheproducemakeitunattractivetostores.Eachyear,around10milliontonsofcropsnevergetharvested,causingabout16%oftotalUSfoodlossandwaste.“Foodthatiswastedhasamuchlargerinfluencethanjustthelossofthefooditself,”saysJuliaKurnik,seniordirectorofInnovationStartupsatWWF.“Everythingthatwentintogrowingitgoesoutthewindowaswell—thewater,theland,andtheenergy.Andasthefoodbreaksdown,itproducesgreenhousegases.Thebadeffectsamplifygreatly.”Besidesreducingfoodwaste,sellingfarmproductsdirectlytolocalcustomerscutsdownonthecrosscountryshippingoffoodgrowninCaliforniaorelsewhere.Thisreducesthesocalledfoodmilesthatresearchersbelievecauseabout6%oftheworld’sgreenhousegases.Fruitsandvegetables,whichareoftentransportedoutofseasonandrequirerefrigeration,producelotsofgreenhousegasesbetweenfarmsandpeople’splates.WoodunderstandsthatFarmersPostcanhelptoendthatwaste.“Farmingiskindoflikecookingforabiggroup.”hesays.“Thisishelpingusgetrightonthemoney,usingalmost100%ofwhatwegrowandharvest.”12.WhywasFarmersPoststarted?A.Toprovideprofessionalmodernfarmingmethods.B.TocreatemoredeliveryjobsforlocalpeopleC.Topickupandcarrycustomerstodifferentfarms.D.Tomakethedeliveryofproduceeasierandcheaper.13.WhatmaycausesomeUScropstoremainunharvestedaccordingtothetext?A.Thelimitedneedforfarmproducts.

(英国、芬兰、德国和瑞典一直是欧洲科技生态系统中的佼佼者。)”以及后文的“Well,let’sfindoutnow.(好吧，现在让我们来看看。)”以及第三段中“Finlandissecondindigitallifeoverall,andfirstincashlesspayment.

(芬兰的数字生活总体排名第二，无现金支付排名第一。)”；以及第四段中“Sincethebeginning,Germany’sindustryhassupportedscientificresearch.

(从一开始，德国的工业就支持科学研究。)”和第五段中“Swedenisaleaderintechnologicalinnovation,withremarkableachievementsinwebdevelopmentandmobileapps.(瑞典是技术创新的领导者，在网页开发和移动应用方面取得了卓越的成就。)”可知，下面的文章是对这四个国家的技术进行了比较。E项“WewanttoseehowEurope’stechcountriespare.(我们想看看欧洲的科技国家如何比较。)”可以引出后文，且E项中“Europe’stechcountries”指代的就是上文中的“TheUK,Finland,Germany,andSweden”，与后文段落中比较的国家也一致。故选E。【17题详解】根据后文“TheUKgovernmentanditsbusinesseshavebeenspendingbillionsofdollarsonresearchanddevelopmenttodriveinnovationinBiotech.(英国政府及其企业已经在研发上投入了数十亿美元，以推动生物技术的创新。)”可知本段讲的是英国的科技。G项“TheBritishEmpirewasoncethemostdevelopedcountryintheworld.(大英帝国曾经是世界上最发达的国家。)”可作本段主题句。同时根据后文的“Evenmoreamazing?(更神奇的是?)”是对前一句的肯定和对后文“Thiscountryishometomanybasicscientificprinciples.(这个国家有许多基本的科学原理。)”的铺垫，“Thiscountry”指的就是G项中“TheBritishEmpire”。故选G。【18题详解】根据前文的“HighspeedinternetaccessandfreedomofspeechmaketheFinnishecosystemmoresustainable,withgoodinternetaccessandmobilecoverageinremoteareas.

(高速互联网接入和言论自由使芬兰的生态系统更具可持续性，在偏远地区有良好的互联网接入和移动覆盖。)”可知，此处说明了网络很好地覆盖了芬兰的偏远地区。C项“MostresidentstherecansurftheInterneteasily.(那里的大多数居民可以很容易地上网。)”与前文意义一致，且C项中“there”指上文中的“inremoteareas”。故选C。【19题详解】后文“Mercedes,BMW,andVolkswagenaresomeexamples.(奔驰、宝马和大众就是一些例子。)”可知，此处列举了一些汽车品牌的例子。D项“Thisissupportedbyevidencefromglobalcarbrands.(这得到了全球汽车品牌的支持。)”能够自然引出后文，指出一些全球的汽车品牌支持着科技生态的发展，此处的“globalcarbrands”与后文的“Mercedes,BMW,andVolkswagen”形成呼应，符合语境。故选D。【20题详解】根据前文“Foryears,Ericssonandotherlargetechpaniesdominatedthemarket.
