选择性必修第一册 Unit 5 Working the Land Ⅰ.阅读理解 Different from most women in their 20s, Zhang Wanting chose to work with farmers instead of taking a position as a college lecturer after gaining her master's degree in finance from overseas. Now her ecofarm has become one of the most famous agricultural tourist attractions in the city of Shenyang, Liaoning province, showing the nation's efforts to improve farmers' incomes. Zhang's ecofarm, Paddy Art Dream Park, which covers 20 million square meters, is fueled by paddy (稻田)planting，food processing and tourism. Last year，it attracted over 200，000 visitors, provided over 200 jobs and benefited over 2，000 local villagers. “I love this land and hope to build it into a modern farmland that could provide people with natural beauty and prosperity，” Zhang said.“Because everyone dreams of returning to the countryside to enjoy a comfortable environment and refreshment.” Experts suggest that the key is to make use of the unique advantage of the countryside instead of moving farmers into cities. “An ecofarm is not only a new attempt to modernize agriculture, but also a new form of agricultural industrialization. It could fundamentally transform traditional agriculture，” said Li Hongbiao, a senior researcher at the China Academy of Northeast Revitalization.“The ecofarm is of great significance to help improve farmers' incomes and promote the sustainable and healthy growth of the rural economy.” Furthermore，the ecofarm provides financing services as well as rice sales services — two major challenges for farmers—so farmers can focus on green ecological planting and improving food quality. So far, more than 400 farmers have joined Zhang Wanting, and their combined incomes increased to over 5 million yuan last year.“With more partners, we could explore the new food processing industry, which includes rice noodles, brown rice ice cream and rice pudding，” she explained. “Tourism is the major driving force for my farm because it can help the farm attract attention and drive consumption.” After six years of operation, her ecofarm has won the title of national 3A level scenic area, and more college graduates have joined her to find their dreams. “The new countryside should not be dirty and messy, but a place that people long for，” she said. ( )1.The author explains the success of Paddy Art Dream Park by ________． A．describing the process B．making a comparison C．presenting research findings D．using figures and quotes ( )2.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT an advantage of the ecofarm A．To attract more college graduates. B．To modernize agriculture. C．To improve farmers' incomes. D．To promote the rural economy. ( )3.Where is this passage probably taken from A．A celebrity biography. B．A research paper. C．A newspaper report. D．A travel brochure. Ⅱ.七选五 Farms of the Future Skyscrapers(摩天大楼) are the ultimate symbol of urban life. By 2050, almost 80 percent of the earth's population could live in cities. The human population could increase to 9.1 billion yet the amount of land available for farming will be the same. 1.__ _________ Vertical farms, where farmers could grow crops in environmentally friendly skyscrapers, could be the solution. In spite of concerns over high costs, experts want to make these urban farms a reality and use these skyscrapers to grow crops. 2.__________ Vertical farms would have many advantages, experts say. The food would be grown with minimal effects on the environment. Unlike traditional farming, vertical farming would not force animals out of their habitats by taking over large areas of land, nor would it pollute the air with the use of heavy farming equipment. 3._____________ These have been well recognized. Growing prosperity has led to many people demanding that all foods are available all year round. Indoor farming could produce crops constantly and crops would not suffer from weather related problems like drought or flooding. In addition, the use of agricultural chemicals for controlling insects would be minimal. 4．___________ They point out that although crops growing in a tall glass building would get natural sunlight during the day, it wouldn't be enough. The plants closest to the windows would grow much more quickly than the plants farther inside. The plants growing away from the windows may not produce as many or as high quality vegetables. 5.__ _________ They would need additional light sources. Experts agree that the new farming practices are needed to support the planet's need for more and more food at affordable costs, both to the farmer and to the consumer. Vertical farms may be a small scale answer, but the best ideas could be yet to come. Still, there are some people who are critical of verti cal farms. B．That is where vertical farms are often needed for year round crops. C. So how to meet the increasing food needs of our planet could be a big problem. D．For these reasons, natural light cannot be a workable solution for vertical farms. E．Vertically grown food is grown in environmentally controlled conditions in big cities. F．Those farms would also reduce the cost and negative effects of transporting food over distances. G．They believe that we can increase the food production by changing our thinking from out to up. III..语法填空 I was reading a blog the other day when I 1.__ __(find) a list of fundamental skills American kids should learn before graduating from high school. 2._______ number of skills were included, like how to do the washing and change a tire. I'd add to the list that young people should be taught what it takes 3._________ (get) their food from the farm to the dinner table. Agricultural education often gets 4._______ (drop) from curricula.This leaves a gaping hole (漏洞) in a student's education 5.________ they can learn practical lessons that will benefit them throughout their adult lives.As a result, today's 6.________ (consume) in our nation is more disconnected from the farm than his or her parents. Agricultural education isn't 7._________(mere) for rural (乡村的) school kids; it should be a requirement in every urban school.Kids should be outside, working 8.________ hands and learning the meaning of hard work.Besides, agriculture should be included into main subjects like science. Schools are great places to share real stories and create educated individuals.Keeping agriculture in schools, whether they are in rural or urban areas, 9.________(strengthen) what our kids are learning and offers experiences outside of the classroom which make teaching main subjects more enjoyable and 10.________ (easy) for teachers. 答案解析 Ⅰ.阅读理解 这是一篇新闻报道。短文介绍了张婉婷的生态农场。如今，她的生态农场已成为辽宁省沈阳市最著名的农业旅游景点之一。她的生态农场获得了成功。 1．D 推理判断题。根据第二段第二句可知，文章通过列数据来说明其成功，并且在第三句和第四句中直接引用了张的话，所以文章是通过列数据和引用来说明其成功。故选D。 2．A 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句可知，农业现代化是生态农业的优点，所以排除选项B；根据第三段最后一句可知，生态农业有助于提高农民收入和促进农村经济发展，所以排除选项C和选项D。故选A。 3．C 推理判断题。短文介绍了张婉婷的生态农场。如今，她的生态农场已成为辽宁省沈阳市最著名的农业旅游景点之一。她的生态农场获得了成功。由此可判断出，短文是关于人物和经济类的短文。所以短文最有可能来自新闻报道。故选C。 Ⅱ.七选五 2021·北京模拟根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 本文是一篇说明文，介绍了未来城市里的垂直农场。 1．C 上文“The human population could increase to 9.1 billion yet the amount of land available for farming will be the same.”说明人口增加，但耕地面积不会增加，此处承接这一话题，说明这种趋势带来的影响，C项“因此，如何满足我们星球日益增长的粮食需求可能是一个大问题。”承接上文，C项中“increasing food needs”与上文human population和the amount of land available for farming对应，故选C。 2．G 上文“In spite of concerns over high costs, experts want to make these urban farms a reality and use these skyscrapers to grow crops.”说明专家希望转变思路，G项“他们相信我们可以通过从外到上的思维方式来增加粮食产量。”符合语境，“changing our thinking from out to up”与上文“use these skyscrapers to grow crops”对应，故选G。 3．F 上文“Unlike traditional farming, vertical farming．.. heavy farming equipment.”说明了垂直农业的优点，F项also是关键词，与上文是并列补充关系，“这些农场还可以减少长距离运输食物的成本和负面影响。”符合语境，补充说明垂直农场的优点。故选F。 4．A 设空处为段落主题句，根据下文内容“They point out that．..The plants closest to the windows would grow much more quickly than the plants further inside. The plants growing away from the windows may not produce as many or as high quality vegetables.”说明了部分人的观点，认为垂直种植的缺点也是很明显的，A项“尽管如此，还是有一些人对垂直农场持批评态度。”概括了下文内容，故选A。 5．D 上文“The plants closest to the windows would grow much more quickly than the plants further inside. The plants growing away from the windows may not produce as many or as high quality vegetables.”说明阳光对植物生长的重要性，空格处承上启下，下文“They would need additional light sources.”说明问题所在。D项前半句“For these reasons”与上文讲的自然光对作物的影响一致，后半句“natural light cannot be a workable solution”与下文“need additional light sources”一致，故选D。 III.语法填空 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。 I was reading a blog the other day when I 1.__found__(find) a list of fundamental skills American kids should learn before graduating from high school. 2.__A__ number of skills were included, like how to do the washing and change a tire. I'd add to the list that young people should be taught what it takes 3.__to__get__ (get) their food from the farm to the dinner table. Agricultural education often gets 4.__dropped__ (drop) from curricula.This leaves a gaping hole (漏洞) in a student's education 5.__where__ they can learn practical lessons that will benefit them throughout their adult lives.As a result, today's 6.__consumer__ (consume) in our nation is more disconnected from the farm than his or her parents. Agricultural education isn't 7.__merely__(mere) for rural (乡村的) school kids; it should be a requirement in every urban school.Kids should be outside, working 8.__with__ hands and learning the meaning of hard work.Besides, agriculture should be included into main subjects like science. Schools are great places to share real stories and create educated individuals.Keeping agriculture in schools, whether they are in rural or urban areas, 9.__strengthens__(strengthen) what our kids are learning and offers experiences outside of the classroom which make teaching main subjects more enjoyable and 10.__easier__ (easy) for teachers. 本文是夹叙夹议文。作者在博客文章中看到列举的美国孩子在高中毕业前应该学习的基本技能的清单，引发作者对现在学生教育中存在的漏洞的深思。 1．found 考查动词时态。根据be doing．.. when＋主语＋did 句型得知用一般过去时。故填found。 2．A 考查冠词。a number of 是固定短语，表示“许多；一些”，故填A。 3．to get 考查非谓语动词。空处作目的状语，用动词不定式。故填to get。 4．dropped 考查非谓语动词。get＋过去分词，表示动作的结果，故填dropped。 5．where 考查定语从句。先行词是education，在定语从句中作地点状语，用关系副词where引导定语从句。故填where。 6．consumer 考查名词。根据句意，此处指人，又因空后的be动词为“is”，所以用名词单数。故填consumer。 7．merely 考查副词。修饰be动词应用副词，故填merely。 8．with 考查介词。with hands用双手。故填with。 9．strengthens 考查时态和主谓一致。动名词作主语，谓语动词用单数。故填strengthens。 10．easier 考查形容词比较级。根据and前面的more enjoyable可知，这是并列的比较级。故填easier。
