In the Great Hall of the People in Beijing,hundreds of journalists were holding lights, cameras and voice recorders as they tried to find strategic positions at group interviews.
Each speaker was allowed only a short time.Everyone laughed because Professor Zhu Youyong carried along a big potato during his two minutes.
“Farmers in China's poor areas can rely on agricultural science to strive for a well off life,” said the 63 year old plant disease expert.
Professor Zhu is nicknamed “potato scholar”.Born into a family of farmers in Yunnan, Zhu said he has an attachment to the land.Since 2016,Zhu's team has promoted agricultural science in Lancang,Yunnan Province.
Zhu said farmers in the area only planted rice once a year.After the harvest, the rice fields stayed unused for the entire winter.In 2016,his team launched a pilot program, which was used to test the idea of growing a late season potato crop.
Success soon arrived, with about 3.1 tonnes of potatoes harvested in a field covering just 0.07 hectare, which brought income to farmers of about 9,000 yuan.Then in 2017, Zhu expanded cultivation (栽培) in several villages in the county, benefiting more than 1,000 families.
“We have set a goal of helping every poor farmer in the county to earn 10,000 yuan out of 0.07 hectare of farmland cultivated each winter, so as to lift farmers out of poverty (贫困),” Zhu said.
“Ultimately, I am a farmer.Going back to the fields and seeing how my research changed the lives of farmers in China is the most important thing to me,” he said.
4.Why did Professor Zhu appear special at the group interviews
A.He was nicknamed “potato scholar”.
B.He presented a big potato before the journalists.
C.He occupied a good position for the interview.
D.He was allowed to speak for a longer time.
5.What does the underlined word “pilot” in paragraph 5 probably mean
A.Experimental. B.Advanced.
C.Modern. D.Effective.
6.How did Professor Zhu help the farmers to relieve from poverty
A.By controlling plant diseases.
B.By increasing the rice harvest.
C.By expanding local farmland.
D.By introducing a kind of late season potato.
7.What is the text mainly about
A.The research of Professor Zhu in biological science.
B.The contribution of Professor Zhu in potato marketing.
C.The efforts of Professor Zhu to fight poverty in Yunnan.
D.The dream of Professor Zhu to beautify the countryside.

Many people spend the last years of their lives in an institution, with their daily choices and activities being determined by what they can no longer do. But in the Netherlands, people with dementia (痴呆) are offered a different path forward: meaningful, satisfying farm work, where they can stay active while continuing to contribute to society.
Care farms are widely used in the Netherlands as an alternative to day care centers for people in need of care, including people with dementia. Their goal is to offer a new kind of care that is directed towards familiar environments.
Boerderij Op Aarde is one of the hundreds of Dutch “care farms”run by people facing various illnesses or challenges, whether physical or mental. They provide effective work in agricultural environments. “We are not focusing on what is missing, but on what is left,” says Arjan Monteny, co founder of Boerderij Op Aarde, “what is still possible for everyone to develop.”
Care farming started growing in popularity in the Netherlands in the late 1990s.A few decades on, care farming is well established in the Netherlands, and interest in the model for people with all kinds of disabilities is growing in many other countries. As an option for dementia care, it is a solution that grows more relevant with each passing year. Rates of dementia are projected to more than double worldwide by 2050.However, how to better care for these people remains a question that many countries are still grappling_with.
At Boerderij Op Aarde, participants start each morning by discussing the day's work. The work is not lacking: pigs need feeding, gardens need care, and hot meals need to be prepared. An outdated workshop chair may need to be repainted. Employees choose which tasks to take on — this is important, says Monteny, because people with dementia do not have many opportunities to make decisions in their lives.
With conditions like dementia, one participant at Boerderij Op Aarde says, “My world is getting smaller, but here, I feel like my life is still in the real world.”
8.Why do people build care farms in the Netherlands
A.To cure patients' illnesses.
B.To encourage local farming.
C.To help sick people do farm work.
D.To brighten the lives of people needing care.
9.What do the underlined words “grappling with” in paragraph 4 mean
A.Sticking with. B.Assisting with.
C.Struggling with. D.Competing with.
10.What can people do at Boerderij Op Aarde
A.Make meaningful contributions.
B.Take a special training course.
C.Learn to take care of others.
D.Receive free medical care.
11.What do participants think of Boerderij Op Aarde
A.It needs further expansion.
B.It makes a profit.
C.It's growing fast.
D.It really works.
D
Farmers have long relied on things that work without their involvement — bees to pollinate flowers, earthworms to turn the soil, swallows to eat pests — to make sure that crops grow the right way.Now a team of British researchers is trying to take this hands off thinking in a high tech direction.Last October, scientists at Harper Adams University started a farm called the Hands Free Hectare to make the entire process of farming — from sowing and fertilising to harvest — fully automatic.The project has just succeeded with five tons of robot grown barley (大麦).
“We believe the best idea is that in the future, farmers will manage groups of smaller, autonomous machines,” the researchers explained.“They will go out and work in the fields, allowing the farmer to use their time more effectively instead of having to drive up and down the fields.”
At the moment, agricultural machines — very large and heavy — can cover a lot of space quickly.But there are shortcomings.“Fertiliser gets sprayed over entire farms, regardless of the different needs of different crops.They're also so heavy that they're damaging farmers' soils,” researcher Jonathan Gill said.
Gill and his colleagues went smaller: a tractor, a combine and a harvester, which followed a programmed route, using the navigation system. Altogether, they spent less than £200,000 on equipment, and used open source technology and a drone (无人机).Eventually the system will be complex enough to treat different parts of a field, or even individual plants, differently.
The team is quick to caution that they don't want to put farmers out of work.They said, “Instead of being busy in the fields, the farmer will manage the machines and monitor their crops.” The next stop for the barley will be a brewery.That's not going to be completely automatic.At least not yet.
12.What feature of bees, earthworms and swallows inspired scientists
A.Their dependence on nature.
B.Their special way of survival.
C.Their selfless love for the earth.
D.Their natural involvement in farming.
13.What advantage of Gill's equipment is introduced in paragraph 4
A.Freeing workers totally.
B.Reducing the cost of harvest.
C.Improving the accuracy of farming.
D.Increasing the output of different crops.
14.What can we infer from the last paragraph
A.Gill's project is still at the design stage.
B.Unemployment wouldn't be a concern.
C.The brewery will realize automation soon.
D.Complete automatic farming is unrealistic.
15.Which of the following would be the best title for the text
A.The future of hands free farming
B.The functions of agricultural machines
C.The development of automatic harvest
D.The shortcomings of traditional farming

An unlucky experience in my youth left me with an almost extreme fear of snakes.No matter how much I tried to learn about snakes, I found myself shaking with fear at so much as a photograph in a magazine or a toy snake.
Then, I became a mother.Time flew.When my son reached Cub Scout (童子军) age, I signed him up for the local pack.Within a short time, I volunteered to work as a caregiver.
A family camping trip to the local Scout campgrounds provided opportunities for the boys to learn at a variety of nature stations.I went from one post to another with the kids excitedly.All my positive feelings disappeared, however, when the staff member pointed us up the path to the next post.
“You are going to love the reptile (爬行动物) station,” a staff member announced.
“They've got a live snake you can hold.”
Live Hold Was he kidding I almost turned and ran away until I remembered I was responsible for these boys.I couldn't leave them.
The boys ran to the reptile station.I forced my feet to follow them.
The young man there went through his presentation on the importance of snakes in the environment with good humor and lots of information.
“Are you ready to meet Humphrey?” he asked.
The boys cheered.The young man carried a snake from a covered container beside the table.
He regarded Humphrey as a camp mascot (吉祥物) for a few years.As he talked about the characters of the species, he held the snake on his arm.The snake rested quietly there as the young man spoke.He explained the snake was not a threat to humans.

Today I witnessed a rewarding activity — Tree Planting organized by the Students' Union of our school.
Early in the morning,my classmates and I headed for a hill nearby with tools and seedlings.On our arrival,we got down to working together as planned.Some dug the pits and put seedlings in,some filled the pits with earth, and others watered them.Through our joint efforts,the hillside were lined with rows of seedlings, bathed in the sunshine.
Exhausted as we were,we tasted the joy of labor.
第二节(参考范文)
He offered the boys a chance to touch the snake.The boys stopped laughing quickly, looking at each other.He explained the proper technique to them so they could support the snake without hurting it.At first, some boys with courage began to touch Humphrey softly.Humphrey was accustomed to being handled and went straight to playing dead.His grace and gentle acceptance gave other boys confidence and a chance to appreciate his beauty.Naturally, they all wanted to hold him.But I tried to keep a “safe” distance from the snake.
“Don't you want to hold him, Ms.Mary Beth?” one of the boys asked me.He held out the snake toward me.I had no choice as an adult but to accept his offering, prepared to collapse on the spot.I expected cold and wet.What I got was dry and soft.Could this snake read my mind In those moments, Humphrey brought me out of a world of fear and into a world of wonder.He made me realize fear can be overcome as long as we dare face it.
