48、books will come to us in the similar way. In many places, agriculture is developing quickly and people are growing fruit and vegetables for export. This uses a lot of water.

57、 be very different in 2050. 是全文的主题句, 结合全文内容, 可知本文主要讲述了未来的生活, 故选B。DHave you ever noticed how Americans fill up their entire glass with ice and then pour their beverage(饮品) in, but Europeans take their drinks at room temperature? In the U. S. , weve created fridges that give you cold ice at the press

58、of a button, but in Britain they typically serve their tap water warm. This traditionif thats what you want to call itdates back to the 19th century. During that time, it was already commonplace for most American homes to have an ice box. Ice would be harvested in northern America or Canada and ship

59、ped across the Atlantic and sold at a high price in British department stores. Can you imagine heading to Macys to treat yourself to a block of ice? Putting ice in your drink started to become somewhat of a fashion trend for the wealthy in Britain. Some would put a few cubes in their champagne and s

60、ip on their chilled drinks at high-class parties. But, like with any fashion trend, it eventually faded, mainly because the ice was just too expensive. And even once ice boxes began appearing in homes in Britain as well, Brits never took a liking to ice in their drinks. So, next time you travel over

61、seas, dont feel offended(被冒犯)when your server gives you an eye roll when you ask for ice water. 【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文, 通过介绍欧洲和美国地区冰箱和用冰块的历史, 解释了为什么现在美国人普遍喜欢饮用冰镇饮料, 而欧洲人通常饮用常温饮料。32. Who has written the text? A. A EuropeanB. An AmericanC. A CanadianD. An Asian【解析】选B。推理判断题。根据第一段中In the U. S. , weve created fr

62、idges that give you cold ice at the press of a button, but in Britain they typically serve their tap water warm. (在美国, 我们已经发明了可以一键制冰的冰箱, 但在英国, 他们通常提供温暖的自来水。)可知, 作者说美国时用了we, 说英国时用了they。由此推测作者应该是个美国人, 故B项正确。33. Why do Europeans take their drinks at room temperature? A. Because they have no fridges. B.

63、 Because they have warm taps. C. Because they are accustomed to it. D. Because they cant afford ice. 【解析】选C。推理判断题。根据第二、三段可知, 19世纪时期大部分美国家庭已经拥有了早期的冰箱, 北美地区的制冰业发展已相当成熟, 并且把冰运往英国高价售卖。那时候的英国富人流行在饮料里加冰, 但这种做法最终过时了, 主要是由于冰太贵。即便后来英国家庭也都开始拥有了冰箱, 英国人也没有再喜欢往饮料里加冰块。故欧洲人之所以喝常温饮料不是因为他们没有冰箱, 不是因为他们有温热的自来水, 也不是因为他

64、们买不起冰, 而是由于19世纪的经历, 后来他们习惯了不加冰的饮料, 即便有冰箱也没再喜欢往饮料里加冰块, 故C项正确。34. What can we infer about Europeans? A. They have ice boxes later than Americans. B. They dont know where to get ice blocks. C. Wealthy people like to have ice in their drinks. D. Wealthy people always follow what Americans do. 【解析】选A。 推理

65、判断题。根据第二段中Ice. . . sold at a high price in British department stores. 及第三段中And even once ice boxes began appearing in homes in Britain as well可知, 早期英国商店里有卖冰, 后来英国家庭也拥有了冰箱, 因此排除B项(他们不知道怎样获得冰块); 根据第三段中Putting ice in your drink started to become somewhat of a fashion trend for the wealthy in Britain. .

66、 . But, like with any fashion trend, it eventually faded可知, 英国有钱人往饮料里加冰的流行趋势后来也过时了, 因此排除C项(有钱人喜欢在饮料里加冰); 文章中仅提到英国有钱人在19世纪也像美国人一样在饮料里加冰, 并没有在其他方面说欧洲有钱人总学着美国人的做法, 因此排除D项(有钱人总是学着美国人的做法); 根据第二、三段大意可知, 19世纪时期, 大部分美国家庭已经拥有了早期的冰箱, 并且高价在英国售卖冰块, 后来英国家庭才开始拥有冰箱, 因此他们比美国人晚拥有冰箱, 故A项正确。35. What does the text main

67、ly talk about? A. Why Americans like icy drinks while Europeans dont. B. When people overseas have icy drinks with their meals. C. Where people can entertain themselves with icy drinks. D. How Europeans and Americans make different beverage. 【解析】选A。主旨大意题。第一段中首句“你有没有注意到美国人在整个玻璃杯里装满冰块, 然后倒入饮料; 但欧洲人喝常温

68、饮料”点出本文主题, 指出美国人喜欢冰镇饮料, 而欧洲人不喜欢, 接下来的二、三段里, 讲述了这一不同传统的由来, 故A项正确。第二节(共5小题; 每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分)阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。(2019济南高一检测)Characteristics of an excellent scientistThe Free Dictionary defines(定义)a scientist as a person having professional knowledge on one or more sciences, e
