D.PolignanoaMare.【答案】1.C2.A3.D【解析】【导语】本文是应用文。文章介绍了意大利的四个迷人的小镇。【1题详解】细节理解题。根据Positano介绍中的最后一句“Whenthesunsets,thetownbathesingoldensunshine,creatingaperfectphotographopportunity.(当太阳落山时，小镇沐浴在金色的阳光中，创造了一个完美的拍照机会。)”可知，夕阳西下时，整个小镇笼罩在金色的阳光下，这为摄影创造了绝佳的机会。故选C。【2题详解】细节理解题。根据Alberobello介绍中的第二句“Itfeaturesakindofwhitewashedroundhouseslikemushroomsfromadistance,theuniquetrulloarchitecture,listedasaWorldHeritageSite.(这里的特色是一种粉刷过的圆形房屋，这些房屋从远处看就像一朵朵蘑菇，这种独特的特鲁洛建筑已被列为世界遗产。)”可知，当地房屋设计——特鲁洛建筑举世闻名。故选A。【3题详解】推理判断题。根据PolignanoaMare介绍中的最后一句“Ifswimmingisn’tyourthing,thenthefamousRedBullCliffDivingWorldSerieswilldefinitelytakeyourbreathaway.(如果你不喜欢游泳，那么著名的红牛世界悬崖跳水锦标赛一定会让你叹为观止。)”可知，该地有著名的红牛世界悬崖跳水锦标赛，应该很受冒险家的青睐。故选D。BCampaignershavebeenpromotingtheideaofpurchasinglocalfoodrecently,withtheargumentthatitcanreduce“foodmiles,”referringtothedistancefoodtravelsfromtheproducertotheshopowner.Thegreaterthefoodmiles,thehigherthecarbonemissions.Therefore,buyinglocalfoodresultsinalowercarbonfootprintandisconsideredmoreenvironmentallyfriendly.Nonetheless,theactualsituationismoreplexthanitappears.Importantly,importedfoodoftenpossessesalowercarbonfootprintparedtolocallygrownalternatives.Considerapples,forinstance.LocalapplesinBritain,boughtduringwinterorspring,haveusuallybeenstoredinrefrigerationformonths,consumingsubstantialenergy.Incontrast,importingapplesfromNewZealandduringtheirnaturalseason,inspring,ismoreenergyefficient.Similarly,producingtomatoesinheatedgreenhousesintheUKhasagreaterenvironmentalimpactthanimportingthemfromSpain,wheretheclimatefavorstheirgrowth.Additionally,themodeoftransportationplaysasignificantrole.Foodtransportedbyairtendstogeneratehigheremissions.However,onlyalimitedselectionofitemsareflowntoconsumercountries,usuallyhighvalueandperishablegoodsthatcannotbelocallyproduced.Eveninthesecases,thecarbonfootprintofthesefoodsmaynotsurpassthatoflocallygrownalternatives.Forexample,beansflowninfromKenyaarecultivatedinsunnyfieldsusingnaturalfertilizers,incontrasttoBritain’srelianceonoilbasedfertilizersandmachinery.Itiscrucialtoacknowledgethataproduct’sjourneyextendsbeyondthesupermarket.Drivinglongdistancestoshopforfoodcanoffsetanyenvironmentalbenefitsgainedfrombuyinglocallygrownproduce.Moreover,optingforlocaloverimportedfoodcannegativelyimpactpeopleindevelopingcountrieswhorelyonsellingtheirproduceoverseasfortheirlivelihoods.Somesupermarketshaverecentlyattemptedtoraiseawarenessaboutfoodmilesbylabelingproductstoindicateairtransportation.However,thismessageoversimplifiesafood’scarbonfootprint,whichisinfluencedbyvariousfactors.Evenifweexclusivelypurchaselocallygrown,inseasonfood,ethicalconcernsremain,potentiallylimitingdietarychoicesandaffectingusall.4.WhymightchoosingimportedapplesintheUKduringspringbeafavorableoption?A.Itsupportslocalfarmers.B.Itminimizesenergyconsumption.C.Itofferscostefficiencyandconvenience.D.Itsignificantlyreducescarbonemissions.5.Accordingtotheauthor,whatshouldreadersconsideravoiding?A.PurchasingtomatoesimportedfromSpain.B.Providingassistancetofarmersinimpoverishednations.C.BuyingbeanstransportedbyairfromKenya.D.Undertakinglongjourneystobuylocallysourcedfood.6.Whatistheauthor’sperspectiveonlabelingfoodproducts?A.Itfacilitatesethicalshoppingdecisions.B.Itfailstoprovideaprehensiveandaccurateportrayal.C.Itelevatesawarenessofenvironmentalconcerns.D.Itofferspreciseproductinformation.7.Whatistheprimaryobjectiveofthistext?A.Toresolveaparticularissue.B.Tomakeaforwardlookingprojection.C.Tochallengeaprevalentbelief.D.Tointerpretanobservedphenomenon.【答案】4.D5.D6.B7.C【解析】【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人们曾以为购买当地食品的碳足迹更低，被认为更环保，然而研究表明并非如此。【4题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Importantly,importedfoodoftenpossessesalowercarbonfootprintparedtolocallygrownalternatives.Considerapples,forinstance.LocalapplesinBritain,boughtduringwinterorspring,haveusuallybeenstoredinrefrigerationformonths,consumingsubstantialenergy.Incontrast,importingapplesfromNewZealandduringtheirnaturalseason,inspring,ismoreenergyefficient.(重要的是，与本地种植的替代品相比，进口食品通常具有更低的碳足迹。以苹果为例。在冬季或春季购买的英国本地苹果，通常要在冰箱里存放数月，消耗大量能源。相比之下，在春天的自然季节从新西兰进口苹果更加节能。)”可知，春天在英国选择进口苹果通常具有更低的碳足迹。故选D。【5题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Drivinglongdistancestoshopforfoodcanoffsetanyenvironmentalbenefitsgainedfrombuyinglocallygrownproduce.(开车长途购买食物可以抵消购买当地种植的农产品所带来的任何环境效益。)”可知，如果开车长途购买食物，那么对环境的影响会抵消购买当地种植的农产品所带来的任何环境效益。所以，这样的行为应该避免。故选D。【6题详解】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Somesupermarketshaverecentlyattemptedtoraiseawarenessaboutfoodmilesbylabelingproductstoindicateairtransportation.However,thismessageoversimplifiesafood’scarbonfootprint,whichisinfluencedbyvariousfactors.(一些超市最近试图通过在产品标签上标明航空运输的方式来提高人们对食品里程的认识。然而，这一信息过于简化了食物的碳足迹，它受到各种因素的影响。)”，可推断，作者认为食品标签并没有提供一个全面而准确的描述。故选B。【7题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Campaignershavebeenpromotingtheideaofpurchasinglocalfoodrecently,withtheargumentthatitcanreduce"foodmiles,"referringtothedistancefoodtravelsfromtheproducertotheshopowner.Thegreaterthefoodmiles,thehigherthecarbonemissions.Therefore,buyinglocalfoodresultsinalowercarbonfootprintandisconsideredmoreenvironmentallyfriendly.(最近，活动人士一直在推广购买当地食物的想法，他们认为这样可以减少“食物里程”，即食物从生产者到店主之间的距离。食物距离越远，碳排放量就越高。因此，购买当地食品的碳足迹更低，被认为更环保。)”可知，人们认为购买当地食品的碳足迹更低，被认为更环保。而文章第二段“Nonetheless,theactualsituationismoreplexthanitappears.Importantly,importedfoodoftenpossessesalowercarbonfootprintparedtolocallygrownalternatives.(尽管如此，实际情况比看起来要复杂得多。重要的是，与本地种植的替代品相比，进口食品通常具有更低的碳足迹。)”则直接反驳了这一观点。再结合全文内容可知，文章主要目的是质疑了一种普遍的想法。故选C。CChinaisrecognizedasaworldleaderinthedevelopmentofartificialintelligenceandfacialrecognitionsystems.AChinesepanysaysithascreatedanewfacialrecognitionsystemthatcanidentifypeopleeveniftheyarewearingmasks.EngineersattheBeijingbasedpanysaytheirsystemisthefirsttobecreatedtoeffectivelyidentifypeoplewearingfacemasks.Thepanytoldanewsagencythatateamof20peoplebuiltthesysteminaboutamonth.Thesystemisbasedonexistingtechnologiesdevelopedoverthepast10years.Theprocessinvolvedaddingacollectionofabout6millionunmaskedfacesandamuchsmallercollectionofmaskedfaces,thepanysaid.Thepanyisnowsellingtwomainkindsofproductsthatusethenewtechnology.Oneperforms“singlechannel”recognition,whichisdesignedtobeusedattheentrancestobuildings.Theotherproductisa”multichannel!"recognitionsystemthatusesgroupsofsurveillance(监视)cameras.Itcanidentifyindividualsinacrowdofupto30peoplewithinasecond.“Whenpeoplearewearingamaskthatcoversthemouthandthenose,therecognitionratecanreachabout95%,whichcanensurethatmostpeoplecanbeidentified,”saidHuang,vicepresidentofthepany.Headdedthatthesystem’ssuccessrateforpeoplenotwearingamaskisabout99.5%.However,thenewsystemstrugglestoidentifypeoplewearingbothamaskandsunglasses.“Inthissituation,allofthekeyfacialinformationislost.Insuchcasesrecognitionistough.”Huangsaid.Peoplewerereactingdifferentlytothenewtechnology.Whilesomecitizenshavebeenagainstusingsuchtools,themajorityhaveacceptedthetechnologyasanelectivewaytodecreasecrimeandcatchcriminals.8.Whatdidthepanydotobuildthesystem?A.Theygatheredmanyfaceimages.
