16、Elba last June, joining Mary and John on a bicycling vacation. They made the arrangements for the car, hotel and bicycles. I studied the history of the island, which of course particularly features Napoleon.Napoleon (now I know) picked Elba as a place for peace when he was forced to give up the thro
17、ne (王权) as Emperor of France in 1814. Far from being a prison island, Elba is beautiful with towering mountains, thick forests and sweeping bays and beaches.It is also an island filled with treasure. Very early on this island, locals discovered rich deposits of iron. Soon outsiders, too, discovered
18、the iron and 150 other valuable minerals on this little piece of land. Long before Etruscans and other Greeks set foot on it, Dorians had moved in by the tenth century B. C. and were mining the island. The Romans ruled next, obtaining the minerals and building grand houses overlooking the sea. From
19、the twelfth century until the nineteenth, the island was traded back and forth and was passed to France in 1802. Then came Napoleon, the new ruler of Elba.I was eager to visit his house in Portoferraio. The Emperor lived with his court and his mother, but his wife, Marie Louise had ensconced herself
20、 in the splendid Viennese palace of her father, Emperor of Austria. She lived safely there and showed little interest in visiting her husband in his mini-kingdom. Apparently, Napoleon wasnt troubled much by this. He was too busy riding everywhere on horseback, building roads, modernizing agriculture
21、 and, above all, sharpening his tiny army and navy into readiness for his escape.In the formal gardens behind the house it seemed to me that I could imagine the exiled (流放的) conquerors anxious thoughts. He might gaze over where I stood now, toward the lighthouse of the Stella fort, the sandy bay, an

Hardship of Napoleons return to France.DSkyscrapers are the symbol of Urban life. City people are used to seeing tall buildings and apartments. Farms, on
25、 the other hand, are associated with rural(农村的) life. However, there are experts who think skyscrapers should become farms to meet the increasing food needs.By the middle of this century, some scientists suggest, almost 80% of the earths population could live in cities. In addition, the population c
26、ould increase to 9.1 billion people during that time yet the amount of land available for farming will be the same. If current farming practices dont change, we will need an area of new land to produce enough food for the planet.Vertical farms, where urban farmers could grow crops in environmentally
27、 friendly skyscrapers, could be the solution. In spite of concerns over high costs, experts want to make it a reality and use these skyscrapers to grow crops.Vertical farms would have many advantages, supporters say. Unlike traditional farming, vertical farming could be free of chemicals and disease
28、s. Besides, crops would not suffer from problems like flooding. Finally, vertical farms would reduce the cost and negative effects of transporting food over long distances.Some argue that although crops growing in a tall glass building would get natural sunlight during the day, it wouldnt be enough.
29、 For this reason, vertical farms would need additional light sources(来源), such as artificial light.Another way of growing fresh food is to build urban farms on rooftops. This more practical approach may be more achievable than the idea of farms in skyscrapers, researchers suggest. Experts agree that
30、 innovative(革新的) farming practices are needed to support the need for more food at affordable costs, both to the farmer and to the consumer, but the best ideas could be yet to come.32. What primary problem could vertical farming settle?A. Poor state of rural life.B. Shortage of food supply.C. High c
31、ost for transporting crops.D. Environmental pollution by transitional farmings33. What is the advantage of vertical farming?A. It can produce organic food.B. It requires little care.C. It can benefit transport industry.D. It needs very low cost.34. What is a big challenge to make vertical farming a
32、reality?A. Farmable land.B. Crop diseases.C. Light sources.D. Climate conditions.35. What can be the best title of the test?A. Future Food Needs.B. Symbol of Urban Life.C. Farming on Rooftops.D. Farms of the Future.第一节（共15小题：每小题2分，满分30分）21-24 CDAD 25-27 ACB 28-31 ACAC 32-35 BACD湖北省名师联盟2020届高三入学调研考试第

44、overed it. She found the first complete fossil of the ichthyosaur(鱼龙).Since then, Mary became crazy about fossil hunting. She liked to hunt on the beach after a storm.
