In a world where acts of kindness often go unnoticed, a good story that has been discovered reminds us of the power of care and the effect it can have on someone’s life.

Brennan’s mom, Traci, takes pride in her son. She said, “The best thing a teenager can do is to take care of the elderly. I’m so glad my son has added more sunshine to Ms. Ann’s life. I hope he always remembers the joy he’s brought her, and his fun talks with her, keeps his kind heart, and thinks of others.”
Ms. Ann’s daughter Emma, with her husband Gould, has a 2-year-old son. They are thankful for Brennan’s friendship as they cannot always be with Ms. Ann. Brennan’s kind heart has brought more sunshine into Ms. Ann’s life, and her encouraging words have helped to inspire(启发)him in return.

Farmers in Italy’s famous Tuscany area are struggling to save grape and olive (橄榄) crops affected by a heatwave and dry conditions. A lack of rainfall since spring has even affected plants that traditionally grow well in hot and dry weather.
In San Casciano in Val di Pesa, near Florence, olive trees line the hillsides. But farmers say the dry soil is preventing the trees from producing the usual production of fruit.
Tuscany is famous around the world for its olive oil and wine from grapes. But growers in the area say dry, hot weather has recently had a great effect on the crops and harmed production. This year’s heat and lack of water happened during an important time, when the flowers were changing to fruit. Without water, many flowers fall to the ground before they can produce fruit. This year’s oil production could be cut by up to 60 percent.
Olive growers have decided to change some of their farming methods. They have added extra watering systems (系统) to make up for the lack of rainfall and hot temperatures. The system works through a pipe placed under the trees to drop water little by little.
The effects of weather change have not only affected production and plants but have also created new areas in Italy where crops can be grown. A few years ago, olive farms were mainly found in hot and dry areas such as Sicily. Now, areas such as Val d’Aosta in the far north of Italy — which is famous for its snow sport holiday places and mountains — can produce their own oil.
Climate change is also affecting wine crops in Tuscany. In Chianti, for example, September is normally the month for the yearly grape harvest. But with continued high temperatures, many grapes are ripening (成熟) earlier than expected. In addition to the drop in grapes caused by the current heatwave, wine growers also have to deal with other extreme (极端的) weather events. An ice storm recently destroyed 40 percent of grapes in the area.
12. Which decided such great harm of the dry weather to the crops
A. How long it lasted. B. How serious it was.
C. When it happened. D. Where it happened.
13. Which of the following is a positive effect of the dry weather
A. It increases planting areas. B. It encourages better farming methods.
C. It improves the value of crops. D. It attracts more tourists to the area.
14. What did the author intend to tell us in the last paragraph
A. Effect of early grapes on red wine. B. The harm brought by ice storm to grapes.
C. The loss of grapes due to drought. D. The effects of extreme weather on grapes.
15. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. Farmers in Italy Benefit from Lack of Rainfall
B. Dry Weather Affects Italy’s Famous Grape, Olive Crops
C. More Areas in Italy Are Fit for Crops Due to Warming
D. New Ways Are Introduced to Fight Against Dry Weather
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。意大利著名的托斯卡纳地区的农民们正在努力拯救受热浪和干旱影响的葡萄和橄榄作物。春季以来的降雨量减少甚至影响了传统上在炎热和干燥天气下生长良好的植物。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的第三、四句的“This year’s heat and lack of water happened during an important time, when the flowers were changing to fruit. Without water, many flowers fall to the ground before they can produce fruit. (今年的高温和缺水发生在一个重要的时期,也就是花开始开花结果的时候。没有水,许多花在结果之前就落在地上了) ”可知,橄榄油产量下降是因为干燥的天气发生在一个特殊的时期。即干旱发生的时间决定了造成如此大的危害。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段的“The effects of weather change have not only affected production and plants but have also created new areas in Italy where crops can be grown. (天气变化的影响不仅影响生产和植物,也在意大利创造了新的作物种植区域)”及“Now, areas such as Val d’Aosta in the far north of Italy — which is famous for its snow sport holiday places and mountains — can produce their own oil.(在意大利最北部的奥斯塔山谷等地区——以雪上运动度假胜地和高山闻名——可以自己生产橄榄油了)”可知,干燥天气的良好影响是增加了作物的种植面积。故选A项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“But with continued high temperatures, many grapes are ripening (成熟) earlier than expected. (但随着持续高温,许多葡萄的成熟时间比预期的要早)”以及“An ice storm recently harmed 40 percent of grapes in the area. (最近一场冰暴摧毁了该地区40%的葡萄)”可推知,作者在最后一段想告诉我们恶劣天气对葡萄的影响。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段的内容“Farmers in Italy’s famous Tuscany area are struggling to save grape and olive (橄榄) crops affected by a heatwave and dry conditions. (意大利著名的托斯卡纳地区的农民们正在努力拯救受热浪和干旱影响的葡萄和橄榄作物)”以及下文内容可知,文章主要讲述干燥的天气影响了意大利著名的葡萄和橄榄作物。由此可知,Dry Weather Influences Italy’s Famous Grape & Olive Crops(干旱天气影响意大利著名的葡萄和橄榄作物)适合作本文最佳标题。故选B项。

In a world where acts of kindness often go unnoticed, a good story that has been discovered reminds us of the power of care and the effect it can have on someone’s life.
It all started with a “Kindness Week Challenge” given to Brennan by his 8th-grade teacher, Ms. Watkins. Little did he know that this challenge would lead to a wonderful friendship with 84-year-old Ms. Ann.
Brennan’s promise to send his little attractive things every day for a week developed a habit of checking up on Ms. Ann and sending gifts regularly(定期地), long after the challenge was over.
Their friendship has now lasted for over five years, and Brennan still visits Ms. Ann every month with flowers, cakes, chocolates, cards and more.
They talk about everything from his high school life to his college goals. The pair has found that they share a common love of chocolates. Ms. Ann always hopes to hear about what he’s doing and loves to share her own stories from a different time. They have become the best friends, with Brennan treating her as his great-grandmother.
Brennan’s mom, Traci, takes pride in her son. She said, “The best thing a teenager can do is to take care of the elderly. I’m so glad my son has added more sunshine to Ms. Ann’s life. I hope he always remembers the joy he’s brought her, and his fun talks with her, keeps his kind heart, and thinks of others.”
Ms. Ann’s daughter Emma, with her husband Gould, has a 2-year-old son. They are thankful for Brennan’s friendship as they cannot always be with Ms. Ann. Brennan’s kind heart has brought more sunshine into Ms. Ann’s life, and her encouraging words have helped to inspire(启发)him in return.

Farmers in Italy’s famous Tuscany area are struggling to save grape and olive (橄榄) crops affected by a heatwave and dry conditions. A lack of rainfall since spring has even affected plants that traditionally grow well in hot and dry weather.
In San Casciano in Val di Pesa, near Florence, olive trees line the hillsides. But farmers say the dry soil is preventing the trees from producing the usual production of fruit.
Tuscany is famous around the world for its olive oil and wine from grapes. But growers in the area say dry, hot weather has recently had a great effect on the crops and harmed production. This year’s heat and lack of water happened during an important time, when the flowers were changing to fruit. Without water, many flowers fall to the ground before they can produce fruit. This year’s oil production could be cut by up to 60 percent.
Olive growers have decided to change some of their farming methods. They have added extra watering systems (系统) to make up for the lack of rainfall and hot temperatures. The system works through a pipe placed under the trees to drop water little by little.
The effects of weather change have not only affected production and plants but have also created new areas in Italy where crops can be grown. A few years ago, olive farms were mainly found in hot and dry areas such as Sicily. Now, areas such as Val d’Aosta in the far north of Italy — which is famous for its snow sport holiday places and mountains — can produce their own oil.
Climate change is also affecting wine crops in Tuscany. In Chianti, for example, September is normally the month for the yearly grape harvest. But with continued high temperatures, many grapes are ripening (成熟) earlier than expected. In addition to the drop in grapes caused by the current heatwave, wine growers also have to deal with other extreme (极端的) weather events. An ice storm recently destroyed 40 percent of grapes in the area.
12. Which decided such great harm of the dry weather to the crops
A. How long it lasted. B. How serious it was.
C. When it happened. D. Where it happened.
13. Which of the following is a positive effect of the dry weather
A. It increases planting areas. B. It encourages better farming methods.
C. It improves the value of crops. D. It attracts more tourists to the area.
14. What did the author intend to tell us in the last paragraph
A. Effect of early grapes on red wine. B. The harm brought by ice storm to grapes.
C. The loss of grapes due to drought. D. The effects of extreme weather on grapes.
15. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. Farmers in Italy Benefit from Lack of Rainfall
B. Dry Weather Affects Italy’s Famous Grape, Olive Crops
C. More Areas in Italy Are Fit for Crops Due to Warming
D. New Ways Are Introduced to Fight Against Dry Weather
