(B) The Great Barn Adventure
One morning when I was 11, I explored the town’s abandoned round grain barn (谷仓). I found a door that was wide enough for me to pass through.
Inside, there was a heavy smell of dead mice. After my eyes adjusted to the darkness, I noticed a shaft (升降机井) that rose all the way to the top of the barn. On one side was a one-man elevator with a long rope and roller.
I stepped onto the platform and gave the rope a drag and the elevator began going up the shaft, but stopped halfway. After a brief panic attack, I noticed holes in the wall at regular intervals (间隔), forming a ladder. For reasons known only to an 11-year-old, I decided it would be better to go up than down. So, with shaking hands, I began climbing the wall.
After what seemed like forever, I reached the top of the shaft. I stood up, dusted myself off and found…absolutely nothing of interest. It was just an empty room with a ladder leading up to the roof. I climbed all the way up here for this Then I noticed a fire extinguisher (灭火器), which I’d always wanted to shoot off. So this was the chance of a lifetime. I tried it, and, much to my surprise, the thing worked! It shot out a thick cloud of powder that immediately filled the room. I couldn’t breathe. Luckily, I remembered the ladder to the roof. I climbed up, popped the straw roof and saw a bright blue sky.
I suddenly realized the dust and powder pouring out of the top could draw attention. So when the dust had settled, I climbed down and slipped out of the barn. I’m not sure if I was more excited about being alive or about not being caught, but I ran all the way back home.

【导语】本文主要讲述了我们大多数人的生活都被屏幕包围着，越来越多的人想要远离科技，文中介绍了“数字排毒法”，以及采用这种方法的原因。
【51题详解】
句意：然而，要跟进每条信息也很容易感到压力。空前“These devices offer us convenience as well as connection and a lot of information. ”与空后“it’s also easy to feel pressured to keep up with every message.”之间是转折关系，且空后有逗号，所以用however“然而”。故填(H)owever。
【52题详解】
句意：“数字排毒”指的是在一段时间内远离电视、电话、电脑和其他控制我们生活的科技产品。根据上文“it’s also easy to feel pressured to keep up with every message. More and more people want to take a break from technology.”和“our lives for a period of time”及首字母可知，此处指控制我们生活的科技产品，control“控制，限制”符合语境，时态是一般现在时，主语是复数，所以动词用原形。故填(c)ontrol。
【53题详解】
句意：一些专家建议在30天内完全避免不必要的屏幕时间。空处作定语修饰time，所以用形容词，根据“staying away from TV, phones, computers and other forms of technology”及首字母可知，此处指不必要的屏幕时间，unnecessary“不必要的”符合语境。故填(u)nnecessary。
【54题详解】
句意：第三种选择是在晚上和/或周末下线。根据“Others simply turn their phones off. Some even pay high prices to take vacations in places where they can take time out from technology.”及首字母可知，度假或关机应是非工作的情况下，所以空处应是说“周末”，on weekends“在周末”。故填(w)eekends。
【55题详解】
句意：也许社交媒体令人沮丧是因为你把自己和别人比较，或者你害怕错过别人喜欢的东西。根据“...missing out on things that other people are enjoying.”及首字母和语境可知，应是说害怕错过信息，fear doing sth“害怕做某事”，时态是一般现在时，主语是you，所以谓语动词用三单形式，故填(f)ear。
【56题详解】
句意：科技也会对身体产生影响。根据“Many people experience back or neck pain and the blue light coming from most screens can also affect people’s sleep.”及首字母可知，此处指对身体产生影响，空处作定语修饰名词effects，所以用physical表示“身体的”，故填(p)hysical。
【57题详解】
句意：在一次研究旅行中，一组人同意在没有智能手机的情况下度过四天。根据“By the time the phone-free period ended”及首字母可知，空处指的是没有手机，without“没有”符合语境。故填(w)ithout。
Answer the questions（根据以下内容回答下列问题):
If you wake up with a cough and a sore throat, you can go to the doctor. But when the soil is sick, it is not able to tell anyone! This is the concept that made the EPA take action. They formed a group of professional soil doctors to monitor the health of dirt.
Healthy soil is essential because it allows plants and animals to grow well. Healthy soil also prevent poisonous chemicals, holds water and gives some wastes time to be destroyed. But its ability to do these things is not unlimited. That’s when a soil doctor is needed.
As the world’s economies and certain industries grow, so does soil pollution. Sources of this pollution include waste from factories and farms and household garbage as well as agricultural waste. Water often carries poisonous chemical from this waste into the fields where they work their way into the soil. These chemicals can cause plants to produce food that is harmful or prevents crops from growing at all.
People need to be on the lookout for soil pollution to protect themselves and others. In 1984 in Taoyuan County, a chemical company let out wastewater into a rice field. In order to keep people from eating the poisonous rice, all of the crops had to be destroyed.
In situations where soil is polluted, the first step soil doctors take is to stop the farming of the land. The EPA then treats the soil so that it can be used again. Some types of treatment take place onsite in the field and some are offsite. Eventually, crops can be planted again in the soil, but it could be years before that happens.
Soil doctors can treat “sick” soil, but they prefer to prevent soil pollution. They try to manage the risk of pollution by testing dirt regularly. Soil doctors play an important role in preventing poisonous chemicals from harming plants, animals and people. But ordinary people can do their part by _____________________.
58. What action did the EPA take to help soil
____________________________________
59 When does soil need to see a doctor
____________________________________
60. What usually causes the soil pollution
____________________________________
61. Without the help of soil doctors, what may happen
____________________________________
62. Soil treatment is time consuming, isn’t it
____________________________________
63. What responsibility should ordinary people take for keeping soil healthy Complete the sentence in the last paragraph.
____________________________________.
【答案】58. They formed a group of professional soil doctors to monitor the health of dirt.
59. When its ability is not unlimited.
60. Waste from factories and farms and household garbage as well as agricultural waste.
61. Poisonous chemicals may be got from harming plants, animals and people.
62. Yes, it is./Yes.
63. caring for where waste goes
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了健康土壤以及如何治疗生病的土壤。
【58题详解】
根据“They formed a group of professional soil doctors to monitor the health of dirt.”可知，他们组成了一个专业的土壤医生小组来监测土壤的健康状况。故填They formed a group of professional soil doctors to monitor the health of dirt.
【59题详解】
根据“But its ability to do these things is not unlimited. That’s when a soil doctor is needed.”可知，但它做这些事情的能力并不是无限的。这时就需要土壤医生了。故填When its ability is not unlimited.
【60题详解】
根据“Sources of this pollution include waste from factories and farms and household garbage as well as agricultural waste.”可知，污染源包括工厂的垃圾、农场和家庭垃圾还有农业垃圾，故填Waste from factories and farms and household garbage as well as agricultural waste.
【61题详解】
根据“Soil doctors play an important role in preventing poisonous chemicals from harming plants, animals and people.”可知，土壤医生在防止有毒化学物质伤害植物、动物和人类方面发挥着重要作用，由此可知，如果没有土壤医生，有毒的化学物质可能伤害植物、动物和人们。故填Poisonous chemicals may be got from harming plants, animals and people.
【62题详解】
根据“Eventually, crops can be planted again in the soil, but it could be years before that happens.”可知，作物可以再次在土壤中种植，但这可能需要数年时间，由此可知，这会很耗时。故填Yes, it is./Yes.
【63题详解】
根据“People need to be on the lookout for soil pollution to protect themselves and others. In 1984 in Taoyuan County, a chemical company let out wastewater into a rice field.”可知，人们可以关注废弃物的去向，用以保护土壤。故填caring for where waste goes。

(B) The Great Barn Adventure
One morning when I was 11, I explored the town’s abandoned round grain barn (谷仓). I found a door that was wide enough for me to pass through.
Inside, there was a heavy smell of dead mice. After my eyes adjusted to the darkness, I noticed a shaft (升降机井) that rose all the way to the top of the barn. On one side was a one-man elevator with a long rope and roller.
I stepped onto the platform and gave the rope a drag and the elevator began going up the shaft, but stopped halfway. After a brief panic attack, I noticed holes in the wall at regular intervals (间隔), forming a ladder. For reasons known only to an 11-year-old, I decided it would be better to go up than down. So, with shaking hands, I began climbing the wall.
After what seemed like forever I reached the top of the shaft. I stood up, dusted myself off and found…absolutely nothing of interest. It was just an empty room with a ladder leading up to the roof. I climbed all the way up here for this Then I noticed a fire extinguisher (灭火器), which I’d always wanted to shoot off. So this was the chance of a lifetime. I tried it, and, much to my surprise, the thing worked! It shot out a thick cloud of powder that immediately filled the room. I couldn’t breathe. Luckily, I remembered the ladder to the roof. I climbed up, popped the straw roof and saw a bright blue sky.
I suddenly realized the dust and powder pouring out of the top could draw attention. So when the dust had settled, I climbed down and slipped out of the barn. I’m not sure if I was more excited about being alive or about not being caught, but I ran all the way back home.

These chemicals can cause plants to produce food that is harmful or prevents crops from growing at all.
People need to be on the lookout for soil pollution to protect themselves and others. In 1984 in Taoyuan County, a chemical company let out wastewater into a rice field. In order to keep people from eating the poisonous rice, all of the crops had to be destroyed.
In situations where soil is polluted, the first step soil doctors take is to stop the farming of the land. The EPA then treats the soil so that it can be used again. Some types of treatment take place onsite in the field and some are offsite. Eventually, crops can be planted again in the soil, but it could be years before that happens.
Soil doctors can treat “sick” soil, but they prefer to prevent soil pollution. They try to manage the risk of pollution by testing dirt regularly. Soil doctors play an important role in preventing poisonous chemicals from harming plants, animals and people. But ordinary people can do their part by _____________________.
