2020届一轮复习人教版必修四Unit2Working the land单元学案
Establishing a human colony on the Moon and travelling to Mars has been the stuff of dreams since the dawn of the space age.
But these visions face many hurdles (障碍). How can humans survive for months or years in the ultrahostile (极端恶劣的) environment of space? What, for instance, will they eat?
Agricultural researchers at a Dutch university say they are taking the first steps towards providing an answer.
They are growing vegetables in soils similar to those found on the Moon and Mars, looking for ways of helping space pioneers grow their own crops. “When people go to the Moon and Mars they also have to eat, and it's easiest for them to grow their own food,” said Wieger Wamelink, surrounded by several dozen plants in a special greenhouse at Wageningen, an agricultural university in central Netherlands.
“We wanted to use real Martian and lunar soil, to see if plants would actually grow in it,” Wamelink told reporters.
Of course, getting real lunar and Martian potting soil is an impossible task. But an Internet search revealed an unlikely supplier: NASA.
“The US space agency makes ground similar to that on the Moon from sand found in an Arizona desert, while Mars' crimson ‘soil’ is scooped (舀;掏) from a volcano in Hawaii,” Wamelink told reporters.
The first experiments started in 2013 after Wageningen received an order of 100 kilograms (220 pounds) of NASA's imitation “space soil” — at a hefty price of 2,000 euros ($2,285).
“To work in this soil was very special. Nobody, not even NASA, could tell us what would happen, even just by simply adding water,” he said. The imitation ground at first was a little “reluctant” (勉强的) to absorb water, but soon turned out to be good potting soil.
“Especially in the Martian soil, plants were growing very fast and very good. They even started to flower, something that we never anticipated (预料,预见),” Wamelink said.
Section_Ⅰ Warming Up & Reading — Prereading
[原文呈现]
A PIONEER① FOR ALL PEOPLE
Although he is one of China's most famous scientists, Yuan Longping considers himself a farmer, for he works the land② to do his research. Indeed, his sunburnt③ face and arms and his slim, strong body are just like those of millions of Chinese farmers, ④for whom he has struggled⑤ for the past five decades⑥. Yuan Longping grows what is called super⑦ hybrid⑧ rice⑨. In 1973, he became the first agricultural pioneer in the world to grow rice⑩ that has a high output⑪. This special strain⑫ of rice makes it possible to produce 20% more of the crop⑬ in the same fields⑭. Now more than 60% of the rice produced in China⑮ each year is from this hybrid strain.
Born in 1930, Yuan Longping graduated from Southwest Agricultural College in 1953. Since then, finding ways to grow more rice⑯ has been his life goal. As a young man, he saw the great need
for increasing the rice output. At that time, hunger⑰ was a disturbing⑱ problem in many parts of the countryside. Yuan Longping searched for a way to increase rice harvests without expanding⑲ the area of the fields. In 1950, Chinese farmers could produce about fiftysix million tons of rice. In a recent harvest, however, nearly two hundred million tons of rice was produced. These increased harvests⑳ mean that 22% of the world's people are fed from just 7% of the farmland in the world. Yuan Longping is now circulating○21 his knowledge in India, Vietnam○22 and many other less developed countries to increase their rice harvests. Thanks to○23 his research, the UN has more tools in the battle○24 to rid the world of○25 hunger. Using his hybrid rice○26, farmers are producing harvests twice as large as○27 before.

[第1~2段译文]
尽管他是中国最著名的科学家之一,袁隆平认为自己是个农民,因为他在田间耕作,进行科学研究。的确,他那被太阳晒得黝黑的脸庞和手臂,以及他那瘦削而又结实的身躯,就跟其他千百万中国农民一样。过去50年来,他一直在努力帮助他们。袁隆平种植的是被称为“超级杂交水稻”的稻种。1973年,他成为世界上第一位种植高产水稻的农业先驱。这种特殊的稻种使得同样的田地多收获20%的产量成为可能。如今中国每年生产的稻米有60%以上出自这种杂交稻种。
袁隆平于1930年出生,1953年毕业于西南农学院。从那时起,找到水稻高产的方法就成为他一生的目标。年轻时,他就看到了对水稻增产的巨大需求。当时,饥饿是许多农村地区面临的一个严重问题。袁隆平要在不增加土地面积的基础上寻求增加稻谷产量的途径。1950年,中国农民能生产大约五千六百万吨稻米,而近来却生产了将近两亿吨稻米。这一粮食产量的增加意味着中国仅用世界7%的耕地养活了世界22%的人口。袁隆平现在在印度、越南和很多其他欠发达国家传播提高水稻产量的知识。由于他的研究,联合国在消除世界饥饿的战斗中有了更多的方法。用他的杂交水稻种子,农民们种出的粮食比以前多了一倍。
Yuan Longping is quite satisfied with○28 his life. However, he doesn't care about being famous. He feels it gives him less freedom○29 to do his research. He would much rather○30 keep time for his hobbies. He enjoys listening to violin music, playing mahjong, swimming and reading○31. Spending money on himself or leading a comfortable life also means○32 very little to him○33. Indeed, he believes that a person with too much money has more rather than fewer troubles. He therefore○34 gives millions of yuan to equip○35 others for their research in agriculture.
Just dreaming for things, however, costs nothing. Long ago Yuan Longping had a dream about rice plants as tall as sorghum○36. Each ear of rice○37 was as big as an ear of corn and each grain○38 of rice was as huge as a peanut○39. He awoke from his dream with the hope of producing a kind of rice that could feed more people○40. Now, many years later, Yuan Longping has another dream: to export○41 his rice so that it can be grown around the globe○42. One dream is not always enough, especially for a person who loves and cares for his people.
○28be satisfied with对……感到满意
○29freedom/'friːdəm/n.自由;自主
○30would rather 宁愿;宁可
○31此处listening to ... playing ... swimming和reading均为enjoys的宾语。
○32动名词短语spending money ...在句中作主语,谓语动词mean用第三人称单数形式。
○33means very little to him对他来说意义不大
○34therefore/'ðeəfɔː/adv.因此;所以;因而
○35equip/I'kwIp/vt.&vi.配备;装备
○36sorghum/'sɔːɡəm/n.高粱
○37ear of rice稻穗
ear of corn 玉米穗
○38grain/ɡreIn/n.谷物;粮食;颗粒
○39peanut/'piːnʌt/n.花生
○40that could feed more people是that引导的定语从句,修饰a kind of rice。
○41export/Ik'spɔːt/vt.&vi.输出;出口
○42so that it can ...中,so that引导目的状语从句。
[第3~4段译文]
袁隆平很满意他的生活。但是,他对成名并不在意。他觉得出名后搞科研就不那么自由了。他宁愿把时间花在自己的业余爱好上。他喜欢听小提琴乐曲、搓麻将、游泳和读书。在自己身上花钱或者享受舒适的生活对他来说意义也不大。事实上,他认为一个人有了太多钱,他的麻烦事只会更多,而不是更少。于是,他拿出数百万元帮助其他人进行农业研究。
然而,梦想是不花本钱的。很久以前,袁隆平曾梦见水稻长得像高粱一样高,稻穗跟玉米穗一样大,而每粒稻米像花生米一般大。他从梦中醒来,希望能培育出一种能养活更多人的水稻。许多年后的今天,袁隆平还有另外一个梦想,那就是他的稻米可以出口以便长遍全球。一个梦想总是不够的,尤其对一个热爱和关心人民的人来说更是如此。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
An average 30yearold person who has eaten three meals a day since birth has eaten more than 30,000 meals to date. Even if you've only eaten half that much have to admit this: you've let some of that breakfast, lunch or dinner
go to waste. And it turns out we're all to blame for this shaming fact: 30% of all food produced in the world each year is wasted or lost. That's about 1.3 billion tons, according to a new report by the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization.
That's the weight of more than 8.6 million fullgrown blue whales, the largest creatures on earth. That's the weight of more than 2.3 million Airbus A380s, the largest planes in existence. That's as if each person in China, the world's most populous country with more than 1.3 billion people, had one ton mass of food thrown into the dustbin. It's almost unfathomable,_isn't it?
Setting aside that big number, we find the people with the most money are the ones who waste the most. On average, a person in European and North American countries wastes between 95 and 115 kilograms of food. SubSaharan African, South Asian and Southeast Asian countries waste much, much less — between 6 and 11 kilograms per person.
Here's another statistic: all the food that the world's richest countries waste is about equal to all the food that subSaharan Africa produces. The numbers: 222 million tons and 230 million tons, respectively (分别地). Basically, the wasted food of the rich could feed much of the African continent. And these numbers come as we've just been reporting about rising food prices around the world in the past week.
And my own personal tip: if I eat at a restaurant and can't finish it all, I ask for a doggie bag. I used to be a waiter years ago and will never forget the amounts of food I saw left on the table after the bill was paid. There's no reason to waste food. It's up to all of us to use our common
sense to eat and shop just a bit more wisely.
语篇解读:本文为一篇说明文。根据联合国粮农组织的一份报告,目前全球生产出来的30%的食物在消费过程中被浪费。
1.What does the underlined word “unfathomable” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Possible to imagine.
B.Impossible to change.
C.Impossible to understand.
D.Possible to understand.
解析:选C 词义猜测题。根据第二段可知,每年浪费的食物的重量超过了860万头地球上最大的动物——蓝鲸的重量,也超过了230万架世界上现有的最大的飞机——空中客车A380的重量。这也好比在世界拥有超过13亿人的人口最多的国家——中国,人均向垃圾桶里倾倒一吨的食物。由此可推知这种现象使人难以理解。unfathomable意为“难以理解的;深不可测的”。
2.It can be learned that the food the rich waste can support ________.
A.half the people in Europe
B.most people of America
C.most people of Asia
D.most people of Africa
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第四段倒数第二句“Basically, the wasted food of the rich could feed much of the African continent.”可推知,富有的国家浪费的食物可以养活非洲大陆大部分地区的人。

A.he was once very poor
B.he was once a farmer
C.he once worked in a restaurant
D.the price of food is very high
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据最后一段第二句“I used to be a waiter years ago and will never forget the amounts of food I saw left on the table after the bill was paid.”可知,作者的建议是根据他曾是一个餐馆服务员的工作经历而给出的。
4.What is the purpose of this article?
A.To show the author's opinion of food.
B.To let us live more wisely and not waste food.
C.To show the amount of wasted food a year.
D.To ask the richest countries to help African people.
解析:选B 写作意图题。根据第一段倒数第二句“And it turns out we're all to blame for this shaming fact: 30% of all food produced in the world each year is wasted or lost.”和最后一段最后两句“There's no reason to waste ... and shop just a bit more wisely.”可推知,文章的写作目的在于让人们不要浪费食物,要更明智地生活。

Guam is a beautiful, small island in the Pacific Ocean. You'll find happy songbirds, clear blue
water, and leafy forest there. But the small island has a big problem: snakes. There are about 2 million brown tree snakes living in Guam.
The snakes likely arrived in the 1940s. They probably slipped (滑行) unseen onto ships and planes heading to Guam. Once there, the snakes laid eggs. Snake families grew. The snakes have no natural enemies to eat them on Guam. Soon, the island was covered with these snakes.
The brown tree snake has had a devastating effect. The snakes eat birds. There used to be 12 kinds of birds on the island. But these snakes have killed off nine kinds of the birds. The snakes can grow to be 10 feet long. They often bite humans. They climb onto power lines and make the electricity go out. This causes millions of dollars in damage.
Scientists have tried many different ways to control the number of snakes. They have used snake traps and snakesniffing dogs. Nothing seemed to work. Nothing, that is, until they found a surprising secret weapon(武器): killer mice.
Scientists found out that there is one easy way to kill brown tree snakes. They could give them a medicine called Tylenol. People take Tylenol for headaches and other pains. Even a little bit of Tylenol can kill a brown tree snake.
But how would scientists get the tree snakes to eat Tylenol? They came up with a plan. First, the experts put the medicine into dead mice. Then they attached each mouse to a mini paper parachute (降落伞). Planes dropped the mice over Guam. The parachutes got caught in the trees. The mice became dinner for the snakes that live there.
Has it worked? So far, research shows that there are fewer snakes because of the mice. The worry is that it may be too late to clear the snakes, but Mr.Vice from Guam's Department of Agriculture says this should not stop the islanders from trying. “Our longterm goal is to kill the snake off completely,” he says.
语篇解读:本文是说明文。棕树蛇给关岛上的居民和动物带来严重的困扰。为了除掉它们,科学家使用了体内装有泰诺这种药物的死老鼠。
8.What can we learn about the brown tree snakes?
A.They were shipped to Guam on purpose.
B.They were not native to Guam.
C.They were at risk in the 1940s.
D.They grew very slowly.
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The snakes likely arrived in the 1940s ... Snake families grew.”可知,棕树蛇是关岛的外来物种。
9.What does the underlined word “devastating” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Magical. B.Damaging.
C.Shortterm. D.Interesting.
解析:选B 词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“There used to be 12 kinds of birds on the island ... This causes millions of dollars in damage.”可知,棕树蛇对关岛上的动物有毁灭性的影响。
10.What was a more workable way to kill the brown tree snakes?
A.Letting them eat Tylenol carried by mice.
B.Putting Tylenol in the trees.
C.Bringing in their enemies.
D.Using snake traps.
解析:选A 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Even a little bit of Tylenol can kill a brown tree
snake.”及第六段中的“experts put the medicine into dead mice”和最后一段中的“So far, research shows that there are fewer snakes because of the mice.”可知,科学家在关岛上投放了大量的体内含有泰诺药的死老鼠,棕树蛇会把这些死老鼠当作食物吃掉,这样死老鼠体内的药物就会杀死这些蛇,这种方法有效地减少了棕树蛇的数量。
11.What does Mr.Vice think of solving this snake problem?
A.He is proud of it.
B.He is hopeful of it.
C.He is doubtful about it.
D.He is unconcerned about it.

How to Make Friends with Neighbors
Most people have neighbors where they live, whether it is in a house, a townhouse, or an apartment. You want to be friends with your neighbors, not enemies. Here are some tips to make that happen.
Get to know your neighbors. If you are the ones moving in and nobody has come to greet you, introduce yourself to your neighbors. __1__ If you see someone with a moving truck moving in, introduce yourself and offer to help. Take them a hometreat, such as cookies or bread, and welcome them to the neighborhood.
__2__ Take a loaf of bread or a plate of cookies or brownies and wish them a Merry Christmas. You can make a little bag of candy to take to them and wish them a Happy Halloween.
Invite your neighbors to dinner or a barbecue. You can get to know them over a delicious meal. Don't ask them to bring anything. __3__ You can also invite your neighbor over to your house if you are watching a football, baseball, or other sports you think they might be interested in.
Be considerate to your neighbors.__4__ You don't want to be the annoying neighbors who have no consideration for others in the neighborhood. Keep your arguments within the walls of your house. Don't run outside yelling at one another, creating a huge scene. Nobody wants to know about your personal or family problems.
Let your children play together. Don't discourage your children from playing with your neighbor's children because of religion, race, or other petty things.__5__
A.Help out with yard work.
B.Wish them Happy Holidays.

CHEMICAL① OR ORGANIC② FARMING?
Over the past half century, using chemical fertilizers③ has become very common in farming. Many farmers welcomed them as a great way to stop crop disease and increase production④. Recently, however, scientists have been finding⑤ that longterm use of these fertilizers can cause damage to the land and, even more dangerous, to people's health.
What are some of the problems caused by chemical fertilizers⑥? First, they damage the land by killing the helpful bacteria⑦ and pests⑧ as well as the harmful ones. Chemicals also stay in the ground and underground water for a long time. This affects crops and, therefore, animals and humans, since chemicals get inside the crops and cannot just be washed off. These chemicals in the food supply build up⑨ in people's bodies over time⑩. Many of these chemicals can lead to⑪ cancer or other illnesses. In addition, fruit, vegetables and other food grown with chemical fertilizers⑫ usually grow too fast to be full of much nutrition⑬. They may look beautiful, but inside there is usually more water than vitamins and minerals⑭.
[读文清障]
①chemical/'kemIkl/adj.化学的;关于化学的
②organic/ɔː'ɡænIk/adj.有机的;器官的;组织的
organic farming 有机耕作
③fertilizer/'fɜːtIlaIzə/n.肥料;化肥
chemical fertilizer 化肥
“over the past+时间段”常与现在完成时连用;动名词短语using chemical fertilizers作主语,谓语动词用单数。
④production/prə'dʌkʃn/n.生产;制造
to stop ... production为不定式短语作way的定语。
⑤have been finding是现在完成进行时形式,表示动作从过去持续到现在,而且目前还在进行中。
⑥过去分词短语caused by chemical fertilizers作定语,相当于定语从句that/which are caused by chemical fertilizers。
⑦bacteria/bæk'tIərIə/n.(bacterium/bæk'tIərIəm/的复数形式)细菌
⑧pest/pest/n.害虫;害兽;害鸟
⑨build up逐渐增强;建立;开发
⑩over time 随着时间的推移
⑪lead to(+n./pron.)导致;造成(后果)
⑫过去分词短语grown with chemical fertilizers作后置定语。
⑬nutrition/njuː'trIʃn/n.营养;滋养;食物
⑭mineral/'mInərəl/n.矿物;矿石
化学耕作还是有机耕作?
[第1~2段译文]
在过去的半个世纪里,在耕作中使用化肥已经非常普遍。很多农民喜欢使用化肥,把它们作为防治农作物病虫害和提高产量的重要手段。然而,最近科学家发现长期使用这些肥料会造成土地受损,甚至更危险的是,会对人们的健康造成危害。
化肥带来的问题有哪些呢?首先,化肥在杀死病菌和害虫的同时也会杀死有益的细菌和昆虫,从而破坏土地。化学物质还会在地里和地下水中保存很长时间,而这会影响到农作物,进而影响到动物和人类,因为化学成分会进入农作物中,并且不能被冲洗掉。随着时间的推移,食物中的这些化学成分会在人体中堆积。这里面有很多化学成分能导致癌症或其他疾病。另外,施过化肥的水果、蔬菜和其他食物通常生长得过快而营养不足。它们表面上很好看,但是里面通常是含过多的水分,而不是维生素和矿物质。
With these discoveries⑮, some farmers and many customers are beginning to turn to organic farming. Organic farming is simply farming without using any chemicals. They focus on⑯ keeping their soil⑰ rich and free of disease. A healthy soil reduces⑱ disease and helps crops grow strong and healthy. Organic farmers, therefore, often prefer using natural waste from animals as fertilizer. They feel that this makes the soil in their fields richer in⑲ minerals and so more fertile⑳. This also keeps the air, soil, water and crops free from○21 chemicals.
Organic farmers also use many other methods to keep the soil fertile○22. They often change the kind of crop in each field every few years, for example, growing corn or wheat and then the next year peas or soybeans○23. Crops such as peas of soybeans○24 put important minerals back into the soil, making it ready for crops○25 such as wheat or corn that need rich and fertile soil.
Organic farmers also plant crops to use different levels of soil, for example, ○26planting peanuts that use the ground's surface followed by vegetables that put down deep roots○27. Some organic farmers prefer planting grass between crops to prevent wind or water from carrying away the soil, and then leaving it in the ground to become a natural fertilizer for the next year's crop. These many different organic farming methods have the same goal: ○28to grow good food and avoid damaging○29 the environment or people's health.
⑮discovery/dI'skʌvərI/n.发现;发觉
⑯focus on(=concentrate on)集中(注意力、精力等)于
⑰soil/sɔIl/n.土壤
⑱reduce/rI'djuːs/vt.减少;减缩
⑲be rich in富含……;……的含量高
(反)be poor/low in ……的含量低;缺乏……
⑳fertile/'fɜːtaIl/adj.肥沃的;富饶的
○21keep ...free from/of使……免受(影响、伤害等);使……不含(有害物)
○22动词不定式短语to keep the soil fertile作目的状语;keep是使役动词,这是“keep+宾语+宾补”结构。
○23现在分词短语growing corn or wheat and then the next year peas or soybeans作状语。
○24soybean/'sɔIbiːn/n.(=soyabean)大豆
○25现在分词短语making it ready for crops ...作结果状语,表示一种必然的结果,这里make的用法跟前面keep的用法一致。
○26现在分词短语planting ...作状语;两个that都引导定语从句,分别修饰peanuts和vegetables。
○27root/ruːt/n.根;根源
○28动词不定式短语to grow good food and avoid damaging the environment or people's health说明goal的内容。
○29avoid doing sth.避免做某事
[第3~4段译文]
由于这些发现,一些农民和许多消费者开始转向有机耕作。有机耕作就是不用任何化学肥料的耕作。他们关心的是保持土壤肥沃并且免受病害。健康的土壤会减少病虫害并且帮助农作物茁壮成长。因此,有机耕作的农民经常喜欢把天然的动物粪便当作肥料。他们认为这样会使地里的土壤更富含矿物质,因而也会更加肥沃,同时还可以让空气、土壤、水以及农作物不受化学物质的污染。
有机耕作的农民也使用很多其他的方法来保持土壤肥沃。在同一块地里,他们经常每隔几年就换种农作物。例如,种玉米或小麦后来年再改种豌豆或大豆。像豌豆或大豆这样的农作物将重要的矿物质带回土壤,从而使之适宜于种植要求土壤肥沃的农作物,比如小麦或玉米。有机耕作的农民还种植多种农作物来利用不同层次的土壤。比如,他们先种植生长于浅层土壤的花生,然后再种植生根于深层土壤的蔬菜。还有一些有机耕作的农民喜欢在农作物之间种草,以防止水土流失,并且把草留在地里,从而成为来年农作物的天然肥料。这些不同的有机耕作的方法有着同样的目标:种植好的粮食,并且避免损害环境或者人们的健康。

二、勤练高考题型,多练自能生巧
Ⅰ.阅读理解
You're in a bit of a dilemma standing in front of the produce section of your local supermarket. In one hand, you're holding a conventionally grown Granny Smith apple. In your other hand, you have one that's been organically grown. Both apples are firm, shiny and green. Both provide vitamins and fiber, and both are free of fat, sodium and cholesterol.
The conventionally grown apple costs less and is a proven family favorite. But the organic apple has a label that says “USDA Organic”. Does that mean it's better? Safer? More nutritious? Become a better informed consumer for your next trip to the supermarket. Several differences between organic and nonorganic foods exist. The word “organic” refers to the way farmers grow and process agricultural products, such as fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy products and meat. Organic farming practices are designed to encourage soil and water conservation and reduce pollution. Farmers who grow organic produce and meat don't use conventional methods to fertilize, control weeds or prevent livestock disease.
Here are other differences between conventional farming and organic farming:
Conventional farmers Organic farmers
Apply chemical fertilizers to promote plant growth. Apply natural fertilizers to feed soil and plants.
Apply insecticide to reduce pests and disease. Use beneficial insects and birds to reduce pests and disease.
Give animals antibiotics, growth hormones and medications to prevent disease and promote growth. Give animals organic foods and allow them access to the outdoors. Use preventive measures — such as a balanced diet and clean housing — to help minimize disease.
*Organic or not Check the label
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has established an organic certification program that requires all organic foods to meet strict government standards. These standards regulate how such foods are grown, handled and processed. Any farmer or food manufacturer who labels and sells a product as organic must be USDA certified as meeting these standards. Only producers who sell less than $5,000 a year in organic foods are exempt (免除) from this certification.
If a food bears a USDA Organic label, it means it's produced and processed according to the USDA standards. The seal is voluntary, but many organic producers use it.
语篇解读:本文为一篇说明文。“有机食品”一词对我们来说耳熟能详。但有机食物和普通的食物在农业生产过程中到底有怎样的差异,并不是每一个人都很清楚。
1.The main purpose of the passage is to ________.
A.promote the sales of organic foods
B.inform people that organic foods are better for their health
C.compare conventional and organic foods
D.persuade people to become informed consumers
解析:选C 主旨大意题。该题目实际上是在考查文章是围绕什么内容展开的。文章的第一段就提出了conventional apple和organic apple的不同概念,下文就这两种事物进行了对比,故该文章的写作目的是告诉人们传统食品与有机食品的差别。
2.According to the passage, organic farming is intended to ________.
A.improve the quality of the soil and water
B.take the place of the traditional agriculture entirely
C.prevent livestock from getting disease more effectively
D.adopt environmentallyfriendly methods to grow plants and feed animals
解析:选D 细节理解题。文章表格中对有机农业和传统农业做法的对比体现了有机农业的优势:在对环境有益的基础上生产健康的食品。由此可知,有机农业旨在通过对环境有益的方法进行生产。
3.Which of the following methods belongs to organic farming?
A.Using chemicals to kill insects and prevent disease.
B.Using rotted plants as fertilizers to promote plant growth.
C.Using growth hormones to speed up animals' growth.
D.Using pests to reduce insects and disease.
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据表格右栏中的“Apply natural fertilizers to feed soil and plants.”可知B项正确。A项中的chemicals,C项中的hormones以及D项中的pests均不符合有机农业的要求。
4.From the passage we know the organic certification program ________.
A.is not meant for produce of all producers
B.makes it a must to attach a USDA Organic label
C.sets restrictions on the sales of organic produce
D.requires all foods to satisfy the strict government standards
解析:选A 细节理解题。根据最后一段可知,并非所有农产品的生产商都要给他们的产品进行有机认证。
Ⅱ.语法填空
Tuan was a farmer. For decades, he __1__ (struggle) to rid his family __2__ hunger. However, __3__ always confused him __4__ to expand the output of his crops. This __5__ (disturb) problem led to his regretting being a farmer. He would rather have chosen another job.
One day, when __6__ (skim) through a newspaper, Tuan read a comment on Yuan Longping. He underlined Yuan's nationality and occupation, and then focused on his discovery and the statistics of his research. He found the knowledge Yuan circulated very __7__ (practice). Therefore, he made a summary and began to build up a new farming method. He planted super grain of rich nutrition and equipped __8__ (him) to keep his crops roots free from bacteria and pests. He also enriched minerals in the soil while reducing chemical fertilizers. Though it cost him more time and freedom, he was full of hope.
The next year, Tuan was sunburnt but __9__ (satisfy) with his production very much. __10__ (thank) to Yuan Longping, he not only won the battle against hunger, but he could also export his crops abroad.
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。介绍了一位农民受到袁隆平的激励而努力研制农业新品种,提高农作物产量的故事。
1.had been struggling 根据For decades和was可知应用过去完成进行时。
2.of rid sb. of ...“摆脱,除去”。
3.it it为形式主语。
4.how “how to expand the output of his crops”是真正的主语。
5.disturbing 用形容词来修饰后面的名词problem,意为“令人烦恼的”。
6.skimming 此处为状语从句的省略,补全句子为“when (he was) skimming ...”。
7.practical 形容词practical作宾语knowledge的补足语。
8.himself 和主语He为同一人,此处用反身代词加强语气。
9.satisfied be satisfied with“对……满意”。
10.Thanks Thanks to“由于,多亏了”。

Last weekend, whether to go climbing or to see a film confused us. Some preferred seeing a film to going climbing while I would rather go climbing, for hard conditions could build up our characters. Finally, they were satisfied with my proposal and therefore we went climbing.
Equipped with some necessities, we went to the mountain that was rich in mushrooms, which were mainly exported to foreign countries. Upon putting up the tent at the foot of the mountain, we struggled to climb. Focusing on finding our way, we came across what was called a poisonous snake, leading to our having to stop. We had to choose another way to keep us free from its attack. But much to our regret, we didn't see any mushroom on this way. To make matters worse, we lost our way. Thanks to a local worker, we rid ourselves of the trouble.
Later, our teacher made a comment on our performance, which made us proud of ourselves.
上个周末,是去爬山还是去看电影让我们很为难。与爬山相比一些人更喜欢看电影,而我则宁愿爬山,因为艰苦的条件能磨炼人的性格。最后,他们对我的提议感到满意,因此我们就去爬山了。
准备好一些必需品后,我们就去盛产蘑菇的那座山了,那里的蘑菇主要出口到国外。在山脚下一搭好帐篷,我们便奋力攀登了。在集中精力找路的时候,我们碰到了一条所谓的毒蛇,致使我们不得不停下来。为了免受它的攻击,我们选择了另一条路。可是让我们感到非常遗憾的是,在这条路上我们没有看到任何蘑菇。更糟糕的是我们迷路了。多亏当地的一个工人,我们才摆脱了困境。
后来,老师对我们的表现发表了评论,让我们感到很自豪。

Selfdriving cars might make your future travel a lot more pleasant, but they won't reduce (缓解) traffic.
Car producers have mentioned that traffic reduction is one of the many advantages of having selfdriving cars on the road. The idea is that selfdriving cars will reduce accidents caused by human mistakes. But experts say selfdriving cars' influence on traffic will probably be bad.
Lew Fulton, a codirector at UC Davis' Institute of Transportation Studies (ITS), said that selfdriving cars won't fix traffic problems unless a pricing system is put in place that discourages selfdriving cars. For example, many companies are interested in programming selfdriving cars to do something, which could increase traffic on the road, Fulton said.
Massachusetts lawmakers have already suggested introducing a tax (税) on driverless cars. It calls for at least $0.025 per mile.
Traffic jams (堵塞) could also worsen as companies like Lucid Motors try to produce selfdriving cars with reclining seats (可躺座椅). People may choose to live farther outside of cities if they can travel in cars that allow them to sleep and relax. But that increases the number of people travelling in and out of cities during rush hour, Fulton said.
Without the cost of a driver, Fulton said he worries selfdriving Ubers or Lyfts will become so cheap it will be hard to push people to choose carsharing services like uberPOOL. “I think it's going to take some kind of pricing system that discourages cars without a single passenger,” he said.
Some cities have already started programmes that discourage people from taking car trips alone.
For example, Chicago and New York City have set up lanes (车道) that singlepassenger cars must pay some money to use. That money increases during rush hour.
语篇解读:本文是议论文。文章解释了将来的无人驾驶汽车为什么没有办法解决目前的交通问题。
1.What do car producers think of selfdriving cars?

Eric Gale's tips for guitarists
“Good things are happening in life for me now,” said Eric Gale, a famous American guitarist, “and when you allow yourself __1__(receive) those good things, the sky is the limit (极限).” He also said, “Even if I could go back to the start, I still wouldn't change the way I play __2__ guitar. I'm playing the way that it came to me, and it turned out __3__ (exact) how it was supposed to. I picked the guitar up that way. I'd already learnt a tune or two, and when I tried to change, my brother was like, ‘No, man, this __4__ (be) the way you've learnt to play — so __5__
are you trying to change it?’ I don't feel like I'm playing the ‘wrong’ way, because it's so __6__ (nature) to me. Anyway, who's to say it's not everybody else that's playing it wrong?”
“All of the guitar __7__ (performance) on my new record are special to me. As to every last one of them, I think all of them were recorded on the first take. I just turned it on and pressed record. It was more of a live approach (方式), you know, __8__ I'm very comfortable with. I don't like to do a lot of __9__ (think). I just like to go for it. It's a whole lot better that way. All we were trying to do on this album was just be __10__ (we),” said Eric.

1.to receive allow sb. to do sth.意为“允许某人做某事”。
2.the play the guitar意为“弹吉他”。

M:How many of you drink cocacola? Nearly everybody. Did you know that cola started out not as a soft drink, but as a cure for headaches back in the late eighteen hundreds?
John S. Palmerton, a doctor from Atlanta, had experimented for many months to find a cure for the common headache. He worked at his home mixing and heating oils with other materials until he found one mixture that seemed to have good effect on headaches.
He began to sell the mixture in drugstores. The customers had to mix it with water before drinking.
Then, how did cola change from a drug to a soft drink? That came about quite by accident. One day a patient who was suffering from a headache came into a drugstore. He asked for a bottle of cola. He wanted to take it right away, so he asked the clerk to mix the medicine while he waited. It so happened there was no boiled water at the store. The clerk suggested mixing the drug with soda water. The customer agreed. After drinking it, the customer said it tasted wonderful. The clerk continued offering the mixture, and cola gradually became popular.
第二部分 阅读理解 (满分40分,限时35分钟)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
It's amazing to consider the fact that today, in western Michigan, people speak more than 120 languages. And it's even more amazing for me to be part of helping many of those immigrant (移民的) families.
My family and I immigrated to the US in 1975. We've lived for years in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Early on, I was interested in becoming a schoolteacher, but language prevented me from doing well on tests. Most of the teachers were very kind, but one, pointing to a low score I had made, laughed at me, “You should have done better; you've been here a year already.”
So I took English classes while continuing my education, and I graduated in 1980 from Grand Valley State University as a licensed practical nurse. First I worked in a hospital, but I found the work didn't fit me. Then I worked with the United Nations helping immigrants and, later, worked as an interpreter (口译者) and translator.
Realizing there was a growing need here for my skill set, I started a business to help nonEnglishspeakers. That became my lifework. I employ some 250 interpreters and translators, some of whom are gifted in as many as seven languages.
We are found in any place where words are spoken or written — schools, hospitals, workplaces, etc. We mainly provide interpretation and written translation services. Our expertise in rare languages and dialects sets us apart; we can also translate papers in 30 different languages.
Mercy Health is a healthcare provider in western Michigan. It has praised our professionalism (专业素质) and quickness. We provide translation for languages often considered difficult to support — from Albanian and Assyrian to Zaghawa and Zulu. Besides, we can field 16 languages spoken in Myanmar and American Sign Language.
Especially satisfying is serving the nearby Kentwood Public Schools. Twice a year, we partner with mothers and fathers attending parentteacher meetings. We deal with 450 such meetings in just two or three days.
语篇解读:本文是记叙文。文章讲述了作者通过提供翻译服务帮助移民者消除语言障碍的故事。
21.What made the author fail to become a schoolteacher at first?
A.Her skin color. B.Her English level.
C.Her poor education. D.Her family background.
解析:选B 细节理解题。由第二段中的“I was interested in becoming a schoolteacher, but language prevented me from doing well on tests”可知答案。
22.What's the purpose of the author's business?
A.Offering jobs to immigrants.
B.Serving public schools for immigrants.
C.Solving language problems for immigrants.
D.Providing immigrants with language lessons.
解析:选C 推理判断题。由第一段中的“helping many of those immigrant (移民的) families”和第四段中的“I started a business to help nonEnglishspeakers”以及第五段中的“We mainly provide interpretation and written translation services.”可推断,作者的公司主要帮助移民者解决在生活和工作中遇到的语言问题。
23.What does Mercy Health think of the services offered by the author's team?
A.They should be appreciated.
B.They need some improvement.
C.They should be offered outside Michigan.
D.They should get the attention of the public.
解析:选A 推理判断题。由倒数第二段中的“It has praised our professionalism (专业素质) and quickness.”可推断,Mercy Health认为作者的团队所提供的服务专业、及时,因此很欣赏。
24.What does the underlined word “field” in Paragraph 6 most probably mean?
A.Point out. B.Deal with.
C.Depend on. D.Write down.
解析:选B 词义猜测题。由第五段中的“Our expertise in rare languages and dialects sets us apart; we can also translate papers in 30 different languages.”和第六段中的“We provide translation for languages often considered difficult to support”可知,作者的团队能够应对小语种和方言,能够完成其他机构无法实现的难度较大的工作,因此此处指,他们能应对缅甸的十六种语言和美式手语。
B
Anybody who has a long daily commute (通勤) knows the feeling of sitting in traffic with nothing to do but wait. Now, a study suggests that long commutes can take away more than just valuable time, they also have a bad influence on your fitness (健壮) and health.
Earlier research has connected longer commutes with obesity. But this new research is believed to be “the first study to show that long commutes can reduce exercise time,” explained lead researcher Christine M. Hoehner of Washington University in St. Louis.
Long commutes are connected with “higher weight, lower fitness levels and higher blood pressure (血压), all of which are likely to lead to heart disease,” she said. One discovery that Hoehner found a little surprising was how “being caught in heavy traffic can lead to higher blood pressure.”
Here's how the research was done: Scientists studied 4,297 locals from Austin, Texas. They recorded their commuting distances, body mass indices (体重指数) and blood pressure. The locals reported their physical activity for the last three months.
What did scientists learn? Commuters who said they drove longer distances also reported they took part in less active physical activity. They had lower fitness levels, greater body mass indices and higher blood pressure.
Between 1960 and 2000, workers commuting in private cars jumped from 41.4 million to 112.7 million, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation. And as suburbs (郊区) have spread across the nation since the 1950s, commuter miles have increased too, along with the time drivers spend sitting in the car, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
For many commuters, moving closer to work isn't a choice but Hoehner said there are ways that can lead to more exercise. “Commuters should find ways to work physical activity into their
workdays by doing things like walking during work breaks. Employers could also help by encouraging fitness breaks,” said Hoehner.
语篇解读:本文是说明文。一项新的研究表明交通拥堵会影响身体健康。
25.What did Hoehner find?
A.The longer the exercise time, the better.
B.Some diseases lead to higher blood pressure.
C.Lower fitness levels result from heart disease.
D.The busier the traffic, the higher the blood pressure.
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“being caught in heavy traffic can lead to higher blood pressure”可知,严重的交通拥堵会导致血压升高。
26.How did scientists do the research?
A.By doing a simple test.
B.By collecting information.
C.By giving physical checks daily.
D.By talking to locals face to face.
解析:选B 细节理解题。第四段中讲到科学家会记录通勤距离、体重指数、血压和锻炼情况等,可见他们主要是通过收集信息来完成研究的。
27.What has happened since the 1950s?
A.The area of suburbs has reduced.
B.The number of commuters has dropped.
C.Many people have given up driving cars.
D.Many people have moved farther from workplaces.
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“as suburbs (郊区) have spread across the nation since the 1950s, commuter miles have increased too”可知,20世纪五十年代以来,人们的通勤距离更长了。
28.What is Hoehner trying to do in the last paragraph?
A.Offer help. B.Give advice.
C.Find excuses. D.Send warnings.
解析:选B 推理判断题。最后一段中作者说到通勤人员应该在工作间隙多走动,雇主应该创造机会让员工多运动,这是从两方面给出的建议。
C
In America, Halloween is a big deal. Americans spend $7.4 billion on Halloween — and $350 million of that is for costumes for their pets, reports the National Retail Federation.
About 15 percent of Americans will buy costumes for their pets. “Time” magazine reports that more people are purchasing Halloween costumes for their dogs — up 24 percent since 2014. Spending has increased by 40 percent in the past two years.
Go online, and you can buy a Robin Hood costume for your dog, or a Wonder Woman dog costume, or a cow costume. The costumes come in various sizes. Purchase a large one for your Mastiff or a small one for your Chihuahua. They cost as little as $7.80 or as much as $300. In Hollywood, pet costumes for movie characters and famous people are popular. Some dogs are dressed as Edward Scissorhands or Kim Kardashian, reported “Entertainment Weekly”. In New York, Jimmy Kimmel, the latenight television host, held a dog costume show on his show. Cat owners can also participate in the fun.
Why are Americans spending so much on their pets? “Time” magazine reports that “pets
have their status (地位) today,” and “more than 9 in 10 owners consider their pets to be members of their family.” Many people have strong emotional ties with their dogs and cats.
Zoher Kapu, who works for eBay, the online marketplace, told “the Chicago Tribune” that eBay had 1.5 million pet costumes for sale on Oct. 21 out of 800 million items listed. There were 159 million active customers in 200 countries.
In Britain, “The Telegraph” newspaper noted that pet owners spend $1.5 billion in 2017 on nonfood items for their pets. This includes clothes, toys and holidays.
语篇解读:在美国万圣节期间,15%的美国人会给他们的宠物购买戏装。“万圣节宠物戏装秀”的风尚已经席卷全球。
29.How does the author develop the passage?

A.Dog shows in America.
B.Different kinds of dogs.
C.The popularity of pet costumes.
D.Various costumes for pets.
解析:选D 段落大意题。根据第三段内容可知,在网上你可以为你的狗狗买到一件罗宾汉戏装,或者一件神奇女侠的狗狗戏装,亦或是一件奶牛服。宠物服装尺寸多样,价格也高低不等。在好莱坞,电影人物和名人的宠物戏装很受欢迎。故本段主要介绍的是美国的各种各样的宠物戏服。
31.It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A.pet owners in America love their pets very much
B.Americans pay much attention to protecting animals
C.pets play an important part in Americans' daily life
D.most pet owners in America live a lonely life

32.According to Zoher Kapu, ________.
A.Americans spend more money on costumes than food for their pets
B.the Halloween pet costume trend is spreading globally
C.people in America like buying costumes for their pets online

Traveling is a very enjoyable experience as it provides an opportunity to see new things. __36__ The following article discusses the advantages of traveling.

Another great benefit is the relaxation you get. __38__ When you come back you feel energetic and you are happy to be back to your daily routine.
__39__ They will create a bond that nothing can erase no matter what happens to the friendship/relationship. You can create photo albums and when you feel nostalgic (对往事怀恋的) you can experience the trips again by looking at your pictures.
It's never been this cheap to travel. With increasing oil prices the cheap travel era might be coming to an end. __40__ With the Internet and all the new technology, you can plan your trip exactly the way you want it. You can choose your budget, the duration of the trip and what you want to do.
A.It's nice to enjoy a stressfree time.

第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Our weather is changing. It doesn't cause a particular drought or storm, but it makes such events more or less likely, and in the case of heat waves, __61__ lot more likely. The extraordinary heat wave that __62__ (kill) some 70,000 people in Europe in 2003 should have been a oncein500years event; at the current level of global warming, it has become a oncein40years event, according to a study __63__ (publish) last year. In Paris alone, that analysis found, climate change caused 506 extra __64__ (die) in 2003. If it continues unchecked, another recent study said, by late this century people living along the Persian Gulf may face many days __65__ hot that it will be unsafe __66__ (go) outside.
It's not just the heat:Global warming adds moisture (湿气) to the air, __67__ (remove) it from land and ocean. When rain is lacking (缺乏), it makes the drought even __68__ (bad). When rain or snow falls, it's more likely to be extreme; just think __69__ the 2016 floods in Paris or Houston. How climate change affects hurricanes and other tropical cyclones (热带气旋) is less certain. But by __70__ (heat) the ocean — the storm's energy source — it's likely to make them fiercer, if less frequent.
语篇解读:本文是说明文,论述了全球变暖对气候变化所导致的影响。

62.killed 由时间状语in 2003可知,谓语动词应用一般过去时态。
63.published publish作study的后置定语,且和study存在逻辑上的动宾关系,故填其过去分词形式。
64.deaths extra为形容词,其后应用名词,再由数字506可知,应填复数形式。
65.so so ... that意为“如此……以至于”。
66.to go it is unsafe to do sth.意为“做某事不安全”。
67.removing 设空处在句中作状语,且和主语Global warming是逻辑上的主谓关系,故填其动词ing形式。
68.worse 由上下文意思以及前面的修饰词even可知,应填比较级形式。
69.of think of意为“想一想”。
70.heating 设空处作介词by的宾语,故填其动词ing形式。

参考范文:
Dear Chairman,
I'm writing to you to apply for the project, which will offer me an opportunity to help more children.
First, I'll introduce myself to you. I'm Li Hua, a Senior 2 student of good character and fine scholarship at Jinan No.1 High School. I'm always ready to help others in my daily life. If I succeed in applying for it, I'll keep in touch with the poor children frequently by writing letters, emails or meeting face to face. In the meanwhile, I'll help them acquire a correct outlook on life, helping them exploit knowledge to change their fortune.
Taking the project fund into account, I'll divide it into two parts. One is used for their tuition; the other is for their daily life.
Such is my plan. I'm looking forward to your reply at your earliest convenience.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
