本文是一篇记叙文，体现了“人与社会”的主题语境。本文主要讲述作者的祖父一生致力于农业研究，他和他的团队克服种种困难，不仅扩大了农作物的产量，还成功研制了新的品种，促进了农业的发展。
1. B 选项：displaying显示；attaining获得；perceiving观察；favoring喜欢。由本句“He has devoted his life to agricultural researches, 1 many awards.”可知，他一生致力于农业研究，“获得了(attaining)”许多奖项。
2. D 选项：annoyed使恼怒；excited使激动；amused使愉悦；concerned使担忧。由下文的“the food shortage”及“he and his team studied the characteristics of grains”可知，他最为“担心(concerned)”的就是食物短缺，故祖父和他的团队研究谷物的特性，来解决这种“危机(crisis)”。
3. A 选项：crisis危机；bomb炸弹；conflict冲突；anger怒火。见上题解析。
4. C 选项：By contrast相比之下；In sum总之；For instance例如；At ease自由自在。由上文的“They took advantage of a farm to grow crops.”以及此空后的“they grew wheat one year and then peanuts the next year”可知，他们利用农场种植农作物。“例如(For instance)”，他们一年种小麦，第二年种花生。
5. D 选项：groceries食品杂货；labels标签；clones克隆植物；minerals矿物质。由本句的“they could put important 5 back into the ground”、下文的“this…farming could make them grow to be rich in nutrition and keep the soil free of chemicals”和常识可知，种植不同的作物的原因是因为它们可以把重要的“矿物质(minerals)”送回地下。
6. C 选项：called on拜访；lived off依靠……生活；put down放下，扎在；appealed to吸引。由本句“Peanuts grew on the ground’s surface while wheat 6 deep roots.”可知，花生生长在地面上，而小麦深深“扎在(put down)”根部。
7. A 选项：organic有机的；domestic本国的，家用的；urban城市的，都市的；particular特别的，特定的。由空后的“farming could make them grow to be rich in nutrition and keep the soil free of chemicals”可知，重要的是，这种“有机的(organic)”农业能使它们生长得富于养分，并保持土壤不含化学物质。
8. B 选项：estimated评估；overcome克服；inquired查询；adjusted调整。由空前的“With intense efforts”可知，经过不懈努力，巨大的技术困难被“克服(overcome)”了。
9. A 选项：entirely完全地；merely只是；barely几乎不；slightly略微地。由上文的“expand outputs of them”及下文的“About 60% of peanut and wheat10 in our country was comprised of crops generated from them.”可知，巨大的技术困难被克服了，扩大了花生和小麦的产量，并让它们“完全(entirely)”广泛传播，我国大概百分之六十的花生和小麦的“消费(consumption)”是由他们生产的农作物组成的。
10. C 选项：fashion时尚；assumption假定，设定；consumption消费；leisure休闲活动。见上题解析。
11. B 选项：leak渗漏；digest消化；react回应；pose摆好姿势。由上文“Recently, their team has researched a new crop successfully.”可知，他们的团队成功地研制了一种新作物，它容易“消化(digest)”，可以在盐碱地上生长。
12. D 选项：shocked震惊的；amazed惊奇的；confused感到迷惑的；convinced相信的。由上文的“Recently, their team has researched a new crop successfully. It’s easy to 11 and can grow on salty land.”以及本句的“He is happy”可知，他们的团队成功地研制了一种新作物。它容易消化，可以在盐碱地上生长。他很高兴，完全“相信(convinced)”它的产量会超级高。
13. B 选项：journalist新闻记者；celebrity名人；politician政治家；novelist小说家。上文提到我国的百分之六十的花生和小麦的消费是由祖父与团队生产的农作物组成的。而最近，他们的团队成功地研制了一种新作物。由空前的“But deep down, my grandfather cares little for”以及下文的“In reality, he regards himself as a farmer”可知，最让我们印象深刻的是，在他的内心深处，祖父并不在乎成为“名人(celebrity)”，而是认为他自己就是一个农民。
14. C 选项：approving批准；forecasting预测；pursuing追求；drafting起草。由空后的“researches in every aspect of agriculture”可知，他认为自己就是一个农民，“追求(pursuing)”着农业各个方面的研究。
15. D 选项：botanical植物学的；conventional传统的，习惯的；alternative可供替代的，非传统的；agricultural农业的。由第一段第二句“He has devoted his life to agricultural researches, 1 many awards.”以及本句的“extending his research into Africa to boost its 15 development”可知，由于他一生致力于农业研究，获得了许多奖项，故应是他要将他的研究扩展到非洲以促进其“农业的”发展，agricultural属于原词复现。
