the most remarkable views into these public figures plus firsthand accounts by those with access to them.‎ Margaret Thatcher by Charles Moore (2013)‎ Before Moore published the first volume of his biography, there had already been a mountain of books on Thatcher.Moore's account is different.He shows that far from being fearless, she could often be fearful without cause.The final volume will include her fall from power.‎ Harold Wilson by Ben Pimlott (1992)‎ Harold Wilson had become a ghostly figure when this book was published in 1992.The absence heightened a sense of mystery.Who was he? How to explain his seemingly contradictory characteristics? Pimlott solves some of the mysteries; the book is detailed until Wilson's final phase as prime minister in 1974.‎ Churchill by Roy Jenkins (2001)‎ Jenkins writes as a politician as well as a historian, analyzing Churchill's historic moves from the opinions of one who had also spoken in the Commons.Jenkins had resigned ‎ from high positions in battles over policy, and as one that changed parties, though not as frequently as Churchill did.‎ Roy Jenkins by John Campbell (2014)‎ Campbell calmly narrates many political and personal dramas, including Jenkins' intense relationship with Anthony Crosland when they were both students at Oxford.Campbell also addresses Jenkins' various affairs with women.Like Jenkins' political heroes, he led many lives.Campbell is sharp in describing each of them.‎ Diaries, Volumes One to Six by Alastair Campbell(2017)‎ Love or hate him, Campbell remains the master of the inside story, not just because of his unusual ideas on the relationship between Tony Blair and Gordon Brown.This is an incredibly detailed book on what it's like to live inside No.10: the cruel space of events; and the constant conflict with the media.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍了五本有关改变历史的世界伟人的传记，书的作者是掌握这一伟人的第一手资料者。文章具体介绍了作者姓名、出版时间、书的内容等。‎ ‎1．Which of the following leaders has the largest number of books written about him/her?‎ A．Harold Wilson. B．Churchill.‎ C．Margaret Thatcher. D．Tony Blair.‎ 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“Before Moore published the first volume of his biography, there had already been a mountain of books on Thatcher.”可知，在摩尔出版他的第一本传记之前，已经有很多关于撒切尔夫人的书了；其他三本书的介绍中都没有提及曾经有专门介绍该政治家的书出版。据此可知，在介绍的四个政治领导人中，写撒切尔夫人的书最多，故C项正确。‎ ‎2．Which writer was once a politician?‎ A．Ben Pimlott. B．Charles Moore.‎ C．John Campbell. D．Roy Jenkins.‎ 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“Jenkins writes as a politician as well as a historian, analyzing Churchill's historic moves from the opinions of one who had also spoken in the Commons.”可知，詹金斯是一位政治家，也是一位历史学家。故D项正确。其他作者都没有被提及曾经是政治家。‎ ‎3．What's the author's purpose of writing the passage?‎ A．To introduce some histories on elections.‎ B．To recommend some books on leaders.‎ C．To tell some mysteries about historians.‎ D．To think highly of some famous leaders.‎ 解析：选B　写作意图题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了五本有关改变历史的世界伟人的传记，书的作者是掌握这一伟人的第一手资料者，文章具体介绍了作者姓名、出版时间、书的内容等。据此可知，本文旨在推荐一些关于政治领导人的书籍，故B项正确。‎ B ‎(2019·成都诊断)Food blogs, celebrities, and nutritionists all advocate the benefits of eating organic (有机的) fruits and vegetables.But a new study published in Science Advances paints a more complex picture.While organic produce is likely slightly healthier to eat and, in some ways, more sustainable to grow, there are also downsides.‎ Organic fruits and vegetables typically cost more than conventional ones.To get a certificate as organic, farmers must meet specific criteria, including growing produce without the use of genetic engineering and chemical inputs.Without these methods, the growing process typically requires more labor, time, and money, a cost that is passed down to consumers.‎ It's true that in many ways, organic farming is more sustainable than conventional farming.But when it comes to environmental concerns such as greenhouse gas output and water loss, the comparison gets complex.Organic farms produce less greenhouse gas output per acre.However, because they are barred from using genetic engineering, pesticides (杀虫剂), and other methods that increase efficiency (效率), organic farms also produce an estimated 19% to 25% less yield than conventional farms.While there isn't a whole lot of research on the topic, the few studies that do exist suggest greenhouse gas output and water loss might actually be higher on organic farms, on a per unit basis, says study author Verena Seufert.‎ In addition, while organic produce is likely more nutritious than conventional fruits and vegetables, there's not a lot of evidence to support the claim that these often slight differences influence consumer health.The same is true for the pesticide remainder.In developed countries, where pesticide use is tightly regulated, there's no scientific consensus on how these often slight differences influence human health.‎ Still, Seufert stresses that if you can afford to eat organic produce, you should do so.Organic farms provide safer work environments for workers, plus they support great biodiversity.The real takeaway from her study is not that organic produce is bad but that the practice needs more studies to increase the yield without lowering sustainability.‎ But if you can't afford to buy organic produce, don't stress too much, particularly from a nutritional perspective.‎ ‎4．What does the underlined word “downsides” in Paragraph 1 most probably mean?‎ A．Dangers. B．Drawbacks.‎ C．Benefits. D．Differences.‎ 解析：选B　词义猜测题。根据第一段最后一句“While organic produce is likely slightly healthier to eat and, in some ways, more sustainable to grow, there are also downsides.”可知，虽然有机农产品可能稍微健康些，但在某些方面，也有其缺点。再结合语境和下文陈述的有机农产品的缺点可以判断，画线词应指有机农产品不好的一面，B项意为“缺点”，故B项正确。‎ ‎5．Which key factor makes it hard to compare organic farming with conventional farming when it comes to environmental concerns?‎ A．The yield. B．The price.‎ C．The water loss. D．The labor.‎ 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“But when it comes to environmental concerns such as greenhouse gas output and water loss, the comparison gets complex”可知，当涉及诸如温室气体排放和水资源损失等环境问题时，比较传统农业和有机农业就困难了；且根据第三段的其他内容可知，虽然有机农业与传统农业相比更可持续，但因为不能使用基因工程技术、杀虫剂及其他提高效率的方法，有机农业的产量相对低，故产量是使得两者之间的比较变得困难的重要因素。A项意为“产量”，故A项正确。‎ ‎6．Which of the following will the author most probably agree with?‎ A．Farmers' work environment should be improved.‎ B．Organic produce should be made more efficiently.‎ C．It isn't wise for consumers to buy organic products.‎ D．The pesticide remainder do no harm to people's health.‎ 解析：选B　推理判断题。根据第三段第四句可知，由于禁止使用基因工程技术和杀虫剂等，有机农场的产量估计会比传统农场的产量低19%至25%。据此可以判断，应当提高有机农业的生产效率，故B项正确。倒数第二段的最后一句亦是提示。‎ ‎7．In the author's opinion, why should we support organic produce?‎ A．It's environmentally friendly.‎ B．It's more nutritious.‎ C．It helps keep the variety of plants.‎ D．It's safer for consumers.‎ 解析：选C　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段第二句“Organic farms provide safer work environments for workers, plus they support great biodiversity.”可知，有机农场为工人提供更安全的工作环境，而且有机农场有助于保持生物多样性。据此可以判断，我们应当提倡有机农产品的原因之一是能保持生物的多样性，故C项正确。‎ Ⅱ.完形填空 Göran Kropp was a Swedish adventurer and mountaineer.
