(她一天中最喜欢的部分是通过一个捉人游戏教二年级的学生细菌如何容易传播——那些手上有“细菌”的人手上有粉笔，四处走动，试图触摸和“感染”别人)”可知，作为二年级学生大使，Oryemi印象最深的是互动性的“捉人游戏”。故选D项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“She said wrking with different ages means cnnecting with them differently. The secnd graders are excited abut everything, while the seventh graders are mre reserved (保守的). Hlcmb learned that cnnecting with the lder students wrks best in between the activities — being persnable and asking questins while walking arund campus. Hlcmb als learned that sme friendly cmpetitin helps engage the mre reserved students. (她说，与不同年龄的人一起工作意味着以不同的方式与他们交流。二年级的学生对一切都很兴奋，而七年级的学生则比较内向。Hlcmb发现，在活动间隙与年长的学生交流效果最好——在校园里走动时表现得风度翩翩，多提问。Hlcmb还了解到，一些友好的竞争有助于吸引更内向的学生)”可知，Hlcmb认为在这份工作中需采用不同的方式与不同年龄的人交流，对七年级相对内向的学生来说，在活动间隙交流、开展友好的竞争效果更好。由此可知，不同的方法很重要。故选C项。

词句猜测题。根据画线词的下文“giving back t the cmmunity and hlds a special skill that cntributes t creating a wnderful experience fr students during each grade level trip (回馈社会，并拥有一项特殊技能，有助于在每个年级的旅行中为学生创造美好的体验)”可知，Aiyana Egins是在评价这些项目大使的工作情况，再结合第二段中Leslie Oryemi所说的话“I lve reaching yunger ppulatins and engaging with them. It’s nice t see them grw and discver different interests. (我喜欢接触年轻人群并与他们互动。很高兴看到他们成长并发现不同的兴趣)”可推知，这些大使是“热衷于”回馈社会的，画线词意思应该是“热情的，热心的”，与Enthusiastic意思一致。故选A项。

The cttn harvest is abut t get underway in the Texas High Plains, the windswept regin that grws mst f the crp in the natin’s tp cttn-prducing state. But Barry Evans, a third-generatin cttn grwer, has already walked away frm mre than 2,000 acres (英亩) f his bne-dry fields. “It just didn’t cme up. We hardly had anything,” said Evans.
Extreme heat and a lack f rainfall have severely damaged much f this year’s cttn harvest in the U.S., which prduces abut 35% f the wrld’s crp. The U.S. Department f Agriculture (USDA) frecast that mre than 40% f what U.S. farmers planted in the spring wuld be abandned because f drught.

The regin nrmally receives arund 18 t 20 inches f rain per year, but saw less than three inches f rain frm August thrugh the summer, as nearly all f Texas baked under drught. Much f the cttn grwn in the regin needs rain. Even thse with irrigated (灌溉的) fields are expecting lw yields (产量) this year.
The lsses in cttn culd cst the Texas High Plains $1.2 billin after farmers receive federal (联邦的) crp insurance payments, estimates Darren Hudsn, directr f the Internatinal Center fr Agricultural Cmpetitiveness at Texas Tech University. That leaves ut thers wh depend n the crp, such as cttn gins (轧棉机) and strehuses. “Any time yu have a bad year in cttn, it has a rle t play in the verall ecnmy,” Hudsn said.
Frtunately, mst cttn farmers in this part f Texas plan t use cttn seed varieties that can resist drught. Varieties are cntinuusly develped and will be adjusted t generate high yields if dry cnditins cntinue. “Even thugh it’s drught resistant,” Hudsn added, “we still have t have a little bit f help frm Mther Nature.”
12. What are the statistics in paragraph 2 mainly abut?
A. The impact f extreme weather n U.S. farmers.
B. The wrld’s cttn distributin.
C. USDA’s measures t address drught.
D. The amunt f U.S. cttn harvest in 2009.
13. What des Hudsn stress in paragraph 4?

【语篇解读】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了德克萨斯州高平原地区的棉花收成受到了极端高温和降雨不足的严重影响，干旱导致大部分棉农面临低产甚至放弃农作物的困境，这是自2009年以来最差的收成，造成了巨大的经济损失。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“The U.S. Department f Agriculture (USDA) frecast that mre than 40% f what U.S. farmers planted in the spring wuld be abandned because f drught. Nwhere is this mre apparent than the flat, dry stretch f Texas. The USDA says Texas cttn farmers are likely t abandn nearly 70% f their spring planting. (美国农业部USDA预测，由于干旱，美国农民在春季种植的作物中有40%以上将被放弃。这一点在德克萨斯州平坦干燥的地区表现得最为明显。美国农业部表示，德克萨斯州棉农可能会放弃近70%的春季种植。)”可知，本段的数据反映了干旱造成大量作物被放弃，尤其是德克萨斯州的棉花。由此可知，这些数据展示了极端天气对美国农民的影响。故选A项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“The lsses in cttn culd cst the Texas High Plains $1.2 billin after farmers receive federal (联邦的) crp insurance payments (在农民获得联邦农作物保险赔付后，棉花的损失可能使德克萨斯高平原地区损失12亿美元)”和“That leaves ut thers wh depend n the crp, such as cttn gins (轧棉机) and strehuses. “Any time yu have a bad year in cttn, it has a rle t play in the verall ecnmy,” Hudsn said. (这不包括其他依赖棉花生产的企业，比如轧棉机和棉花仓库。Hudsn说：“任何时候棉花收成不好，都会对整体经济产生影响。”)”可知，Hudsn表示仅棉花本身造成的经济损失就非常大，而且这会影响其他相关产业，以及整体经济。由此可知，他在强调棉花对美国经济至关重要。故选B项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Frtunately, mst cttn farmers in this part f Texas plan t use cttn seed varieties that can resist drught. Varieties are cntinuusly develped and will be adjusted t generate high yields if dry cnditins cntinue. (幸运的是，德克萨斯州这一地区的大多数棉农计划使用抗旱的棉花种子品种。品种不断发展，如果干旱情况继续，还将调整，以生产高产量)”可知，棉农接下来很可能使用进一步改良的棉花籽。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中“Extreme heat and a lack f rainfall have severely damaged much f this year’s cttn harvest in the U.S. (极端高温和降雨不足严重破坏了美国今年的大部分棉花收成)”可知，文章报道了德克萨斯州高平原地区的棉花收成受到了极端高温和降雨不足的严重影响，干旱导致大部分棉农面临低产甚至放弃农作物的困境，这是自2009年以来最差的收成，造成了巨大的经济损失。因此，C项“德克萨斯州的棉花在干旱期间受到打击”契合文章主旨，适合作为标题。故选C项。

【16题详解】
根据空前内容“Of curse, yu want t read bks that bring yu jy, but it’s well wrth adding sme variety t yur reading list.(当然，你想读能给你带来快乐的书，但在你的阅读清单上增加一些种类是很值得的。)”可知，作者建议我们多读一些种类的书籍。选项C“There are many benefits f reading different genres.(读不同体裁的书有很多好处。)”是上文内容的自然延续，指的是读许多体裁的书会有很多好处。故选C。
【17题详解】
根据上文内容“When yu read a wide variety f bks, it’s nt uncmmn t cme acrss unfamiliar wrds and phrases. Smetimes yu can get enugh cn text frm the sentence t understand the meaning; ther times yu’ll need t cnsult a dictinary fr clarificatin.(当你阅读各种各样的书籍时，遇到不熟悉的单词和短语并不罕见。有时你可以从句子中获得足够的上下文来理解意思；有时你需要查字典来解释。)”可知，我们在阅读的时候会遇到不熟悉的词句，此时我们要么就通过上下文理解意思，要么通过查字典来了解不熟悉的词句。选项F“Either way, yu’re able t stre the definitin in yur mind fr later use.(无论哪种方式，你都可以将定义存储在你的脑海中，以备以后使用。)”延续上文内容，指的是不管是通过上下文理解词句还是通过查字典了解词句，都可以让我们扩大词汇量。故选F。
【18题详解】
根据上文“Yu undubtedly have a favrite genre r tw nw, but what if yu’re missing ut n thers because yu’re nt adding any variety t yur reading list? (毫无疑问，你现在有一两个最喜欢的类型，但如果因为你没有在你的阅读清单上增加任何种类，你错过了其他类型呢？)”可知，上文鼓励我们在阅读清单上增加一些种类。选项G“Sure, yu’ll likely find that nt every genre is yur cup f tea-and that’s kay.(当然，你可能会发现并不是每一种类型的书籍都是你的菜——这没关系。)”延续上文内容，指的是我们可以在阅读清单上增加一些类型，哪怕发现不是每种类型的书籍都是我们所喜欢的也没关系。故选G。
【19题详解】
空处为小标题，为本段主要内容。根据下文内容“When yu add a wide selectin f titles t yur reading list, yu can start t see peple, places, and histrical events in a new perspective. Fr example, reading a nnfictin bk abut a grup f peple in anther cuntry can have a greater understanding f cultures unlike yur wn. (当你在你的阅读清单中添加了广泛的选择时，你可以开始以新的视角看待人物、地点和历史事件。例如，阅读一本关于另一个国家的一群人的非小说类书籍，可以更好地了解与你自己不同的文化。)”可知，本段主要讲述的是在自己的阅读清单中增加一些选择的话会让我们从全新的角度看待世界。选项B“Yu can develp a brader utlk.(你可以开拓更广阔的视野。)”正是本段主要内容，指的是通过阅读各种体裁的书籍，我们可以拥有更广阔的视野。故选B。
【20题详解】
根据空前的“Of curse, sme genres are meant t prvide encuragement, mtivatin, and supprt, such as self-help bks and Memirs (回忆录). (当然，有些类型是为了提供鼓励、激励和支持，比如自助书籍和回忆录。)”可知，有些书籍是为了激励读者而写的。选项E“Others, hwever, aren’t designed specifically t inspire readers.(然而，有些书并不是专门为激励读者而设计的。)”中的“thers”与上文的“sme”保持一致，讲述的是还有些书并不是为了激励读者而写的，同时与空后内容“They’re able t d s nevertheless.(尽管如此，它们还是能够这样做。)”保持一致，指的是尽管这些书不是为了激励读者而写，但是还是可以达到这样的效果。故选E。
