抓住典型事例，分析人物形象
本文是一篇介绍人物的记叙文，属于传记体裁。此类文章常采用倒叙的写作手法，即首先概括介绍人物，接着介绍他(她)的出生、成长过程，然后通过一些典型事例或业绩来反映他(她)的思想、品德和情操，最后对他(她)进行评价，从而表达作者对他(她)的情感。在阅读时，我们应抓住典型的事例，认真分析人物的外貌、语言、行动和心理等各方面的描写，从而把握人物的性格特征，深刻理解文章的思想内容。如第三段中通过介绍袁隆平开发出可用于耕作的第一代杂交水稻的经历，反映了他勤奋、执着、有创造力的性格特征，激发学生对科学家的崇敬之情并学习科学家的奉献精神。
(一)赏用词之妙
1．Yet, he considered himself a farmer because he continually worked the land in his research.Indeed, his slim but strong body was just like that of millions of Chinese farmers, to whom he had devoted his life.
赏析：本段从所叙述的人物的角度出发，运用considered himself a farmer、devoted his life等词汇展现了袁隆平深厚的土地情怀，刻画了他投身于农业实践与研究的执着追求的形象。
2．However, this is far from the case.Deep down，Yuan was still very much a farmer at heart.As a man of the soil, he cared little for celebrity or money.
赏析：该部分语言凝练、生动。用far from the case表示转折，用a farmer at heart、 a man of the soil刻画人物形象，用cared little for celebrity or money突出人物的思想品德。
①Such was Einstein, ______________________________________________.
这就是爱因斯坦，一位有着巨大成就的平凡的人。
②He was short in figure, __________________________________________.
他虽身材不高，但是性格坚强。
③She is __________________ and has a young and fresh look.
她中等身材，洋溢着青春、健美的气息。
(二)赏句式之高
1．What impressed people most about Yuan Longping was his ongoing ability to fulfil his dreams.
赏析：该句使用句式“what ＋ 情绪类动词 ＋ sb. was that ...”。名词性从句是高中阶段重要的语法项目之一，也是写作中常用的高级表达方式。写作中恰当运用what引导的名词性从句不仅显得句式多样，表达丰富，而且读起来结构紧凑，言简意赅。
2．To tackle this crisis, he chose to study agriculture and received an education at Southwest Agricultural College in Chongqing.
赏析：该句使用句式“非谓语动词，主语＋动作A and 动作B”。非谓语动词作状语，可置于句首或句尾。句中连词and连接两个动作，构成动作链。通过动作链的写作手法，读者可以更直观地感受到袁隆平在应对危机时的积极态度和果断行动。
①__________________________ is the spectacular view of sunrise on the top of the mountain.
最吸引游客的是山顶上壮丽的日出景色。
②He stood up and walked to the window, ____________________________.
他站起身，走到窗前，苦思冥想。
(三)赏衔接之顺
Given that Yuan's hybrids made him quite wealthy, one might think he would have retired to a life of leisure.However, this is far from the case.
赏析：上下句之间为转折关系，过渡词语“However”引出与通常设想不一样的结果。从另一个侧面丰富了袁隆平作为农业科学家的形象。过渡词语就像纽带一样把文章紧密连接起来，使文章衔接流畅。
We ran as quickly as we could.________________， ________________________________.
我们以最快的速度奔跑。然而，这头熊几秒钟就追上了我们。
(四)赏修辞之功
Yuan Longping, known as the “father of hybrid rice”， was one of China's most famous scientists.Yet, he considered himself a farmer because he continually worked the land in his research.
赏析：作者使用了对比(contrast)的修辞手法，通过“father of hybrid rice”与“farmer”作对比，突出袁隆平的高尚品质。对比是指通过对两个事物或概念的相似或不同之处进行比较，从而强调它们之间的相似性或区别的修辞手法。通过对比，可以使形象更鲜明、感受更强烈，让读者在辩证思考的同时更深刻地理解问题。
①Childhood is carefree and innocent, ______________________________________.
童年无忧无虑，天真无邪，而成年则复杂且具有挑战性。

In honor of World Soil Day and to reflect on what the food industry can do to help maintain healthy agricultural practices to improve food security, Kiroff was joined by former White House chef Sam Kass at a special dinner to show the power of regenerative agriculture. “ ，” said Kass.
Kass and Kiroff explained how rice and other key ingredients will likely become rare, if we continue to carry out today's conventional agriculture practices. “If we stay on our current path, our kids and grandkids won't be able to enjoy what we're eating here，” said Kass. “Our mission is to make nutritious food available to everyone, everywhere.”

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Sonam Tenzin has a clear understanding of what modern material wealth would mean to him：treatment and medication for his elderly，disabled mother，and his aunt and uncle and a good education for his two sons.
Sonam Tenzin is separated from his wife，so he supports his sons and his three aging relatives alone.Last year，the family's situation got worse when their house was damaged by fire.Although he got help，Sonam had to borrow 60，000 yuan from the bank to repair the building.
In the coming five years，according to the policy，the government will provide part-time jobs，such as forest rangers (护林员)，for 500，000 people.Sonam Tenzin has been offered a job as a forest ranger，which will bring him about 3，000 yuan every year.
“However，some people just do nothing and think the government will take care of them，anyway，” Nyima，the official，said.“Stopping the resettlement projects from turning into slums (贫民区) is at the top of our tasks.”
The real challenge for the government lies in working out how poor families can be helped to make a living without government assistance.In one resettlement project in an urban area of Nyingchi，the government has set an entry condition that requires poor families to have at least one person working in the area before they are allowed to move in.
Although Sonam Tenzin had excellent performance in his schoolwork，the need to support his family forced him to drop out before he finished high school.Now，his dearest wish is that his children will receive an education good enough to help them live up to their potential.
“Every time I am invited to a gathering of my middle school classmates，I always refuse.We were very close，but now we live very different lives，” he said.“I just hope my children will not be in the same position as me in the future.”
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Sonam Tenzin在当地政府的帮助下摆脱贫困的故事。
1．Why does Sonam Tenzin have to support his family by himself
A．Because only he has a job in his family.
B．Because his wife doesn't live with him.
C．Because only he has the ability to work.
D．Because his wife is terribly ill.
√
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段“Sonam Tenzin is separated from his wife，so he supports his sons and his three aging relatives alone.”可知，Sonam Tenzin与妻子分居，因此他只能独自抚养儿子和赡养他三个年迈的亲属。
2．What's the biggest problem that the resettlement projects are facing
A．Some people's laziness.
B．The poor living conditions.
C．Some people's disagreement.
D．The shortage of job opportunities.
√
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段内容可知，政府官员Nyima说有些人什么事情也不做，觉得不管怎样政府都会照顾他们。如何不让“重新安置工程”变成贫民区是政府议程中的首要任务。由此可推知，“重新安置工程”面临的最大问题是一些人的懒惰。
3．What is the real challenge for the government
A．Letting the poor people live a better life.
B．Providing the poor families with more money.
C．Letting every able man have a job of his own.
D．Letting the poor be able to make a living independently.
√
解析：细节理解题。根据第五段第一句可知，政府真正的挑战在于解决如何让贫困家庭在没有政府的帮助下维持生计。由此可知，政府面对的真正挑战是让穷人独立谋生。
4．In Sonam Tenzin's opinion，the most important thing to his children is ______ .
A．the safe life
B．the chances to go out of the village
C．the chances to be educated well
D．the easy life
√
解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段最后一句可知，Sonam Tenzin现在最迫切的愿望就是他的孩子能够得到足够好的教育，即在Sonam Tenzin看来，对他的孩子们来说最重要的事情是有机会接受良好的教育。

Drew Peterson came back to his family's farm near Salem，South Dakota，in 2010 from a job in New York. Since his return，he says he has experienced many uncertainties，but luckily he was introduced to the First Dakota National Bank's AgriVisions Emerging Farmer and Rancher Program. “It was a good way of trying to mentally prepare for black swan events (the unexpected problems). They told us this is going to happen. It's not an if; it's a when，” he says. “They tried to give us some tools and just give us some general train of thought on how to get through them.”
That has been the program's intent since its origin，says Nathan Franzén，president of First Dakota's Agri-Business Division.Held every other year，the program is divided into four parts，with each being a multi-day event.
The first session (会议) is held in early spring in Mitchell，South Dakota，where the group explores farm management and financials. The second session is held at the South Dakota State University in Brookings，covering marketing and risk management.
In the first two sessions，students have contact with nationally known speakers，such as Jolene Brown，who comes in and talks about transition. After hearing Brown's presentation，students in the first class returned to the farm full of energy and excitement，Franzén says，but “Mom and Dad at home，or Grandma and Grandpa，weren't always ready for that conversation.” A “social” is now held allowing students to bring family members for Brown's presentation.“That way they all get to hear it at the same time. They all get to understand the message，” he says.
The third part of the program involves participants taking a trip，which has included a variety of stops over the years. “The curriculum and the content have a ton of value，but the networking has just as much value.” Franzén says. Peterson agrees with that，saying he has kept in contact with fellow participants from that first class.
The fourth session of the program focuses on strategic planning. “We walk them through what a good plan should look like，” Franzén says.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一个农业培训项目，这个项目主要帮助农场主为突发状况做好准备。
5．What is the intention of the program

Here are three great ways to grow your own food without a yard or land.
Put planters on your rooftop
If you live in an apartment or urban home with an accessible rooftop，you have a great area to grow food. ____ ，as they're usually not shaded by trees or other buildings. Before you get started，check with your housing association to make sure rooftop planters are allowed. ____
9
10
Keep in mind that you should mostly plant veggies (蔬菜) that can stand a lot of sun. Since rooftop gardens tend to get plenty of sun，it's important to water your plants regularly.
Grow food hydroponically (水培)
____ . Hydroponic gardening is the practice of growing food in a water-based，nutrient-rich solution. You can do it indoors or outdoors，making it a great option if you don't have a yard. Depending on what you're growing，a hydroponic system may only need a small amount of space. Plus，it can usually be done year-round.
11
Use window boxes
____ ，but they're also useful for food. Depending on the location of your window boxes，you may get varying levels of sun. Unlike container gardens on a rooftop，you can't move window boxes. Thus，it's important to research plants that do well in the sun levels you have. Local gardening stores usually sell plants that do well in your region. Plus，you can ask for help if you need it. Add potting soil with organic matter and vegetable fertiliser，if desired，before planting seeds. Keep the soil moist (潮湿的). ____ .
12
13
A．It helps your place smell fresh and pleasant
B．You may think that window boxes are just for flowers
C．You may need a grow light in winter due to a lack of sunlight
D．Interestingly，you can grow some veggies without any soil at all
E．In fact，rooftops are often perfect for veggies that need a lot of sun
F．You may also need to make sure your rooftop will support a garden
G．You may need to water window box veggies frequently since they can dry out quickly
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了三种不用院子或土地种植蔬菜的好方法。
9．选E 设空处与下文构成因果关系。E项中的rooftops和该段小标题中的rooftop构成原词复现关系，且E项中的rooftops are often perfect for veggies that need a lot of sun与下文中的they're usually not shaded by trees or other buildings构成因果关系。
10．选F 设空处与上文构成递进关系。F项中的also need to make sure your rooftop will support a garden与上文中的make sure rooftop planters are allowed构成递进关系，表明了在屋顶种植植物需要考虑的事情。
11．选D 设空处是本段的主题句。D项中的grow some veggies without any soil at all和下文中的growing food in a water-based，nutrient-rich solution相呼应。本段主要讲水培的方法，因此D项符合语境。
12．选B 设空处与下文构成转折关系。B项中的window boxes和该段小标题中的window boxes以及下文中的window boxes构成原词复现关系，且B项中的window boxes are just for flowers与下文中的but they're also useful for food构成转折关系。
13．选G 设空处是对上文的补充说明。根据上文中的it's important to research plants that do well in the sun levels you have和Keep the soil moist (潮湿的)可知，在屋顶种植的植物要在当地的日照时长条件下生长良好，此外还要保持土壤湿润，由此可见，需要经常浇水来保持土壤湿润。G项符合语境，是对上文的补充说明。UNIT 5 WORKING THE LAND

Sonam Tenzin has a clear understanding of what modern material wealth would mean to him：treatment and medication for his elderly, disabled mother, and his aunt and uncle and a good education for his two sons.
Sonam Tenzin is separated from his wife, so he supports his sons and his three aging relatives alone.Last year, the family's situation got worse when their house was damaged by fire.Although he got help, Sonam had to borrow 60,000 yuan from the bank to repair the building.
In the coming five years, according to the policy, the government will provide part time jobs, such as forest rangers (护林员), for 500,000 people.Sonam Tenzin has been offered a job as a forest ranger, which will bring him about 3,000 yuan every year.
“However, some people just do nothing and think the government will take care of them, anyway，” Nyima, the official, said.“Stopping the resettlement projects from turning into slums (贫民区) is at the top of our tasks.”
The real challenge for the government lies in working out how poor families can be helped to make a living without government assistance.In one resettlement project in an urban area of Nyingchi, the government has set an entry condition that requires poor families to have at least one person working in the area before they are allowed to move in.
Although Sonam Tenzin had excellent performance in his schoolwork, the need to support his family forced him to drop out before he finished high school.Now, his dearest wish is that his children will receive an education good enough to help them live up to their potential.
“Every time I am invited to a gathering of my middle school classmates, I always refuse.We were very close, but now we live very different lives，” he said.“I just hope my children will not be in the same position as me in the future.”
1．Why does Sonam Tenzin have to support his family by himself
A．Because only he has a job in his family.
B．Because his wife doesn't live with him.
C．Because only he has the ability to work.
D．Because his wife is terribly ill.
2．What's the biggest problem that the resettlement projects are facing
A．Some people's laziness.
B．The poor living conditions.
C．Some people's disagreement.
D．The shortage of job opportunities.
3．What is the real challenge for the government
A．Letting the poor people live a better life.
B．Providing the poor families with more money.
C．Letting every able man have a job of his own.
D．Letting the poor be able to make a living independently.
4．In Sonam Tenzin's opinion, the most important thing to his children is ________.
A．the safe life
B．the chances to go out of the village
C．the chances to be educated well

Drew Peterson came back to his family's farm near Salem, South Dakota, in 2010 from a job in New York. Since his return, he says he has experienced many uncertainties, but luckily he was introduced to the First Dakota National Bank's AgriVisions Emerging Farmer and Rancher Program. “It was a good way of trying to mentally prepare for black swan events (the unexpected problems). They told us this is going to happen. It's not an if; it's a when，” he says. “They tried to give us some tools and just give us some general train of thought on how to get through them.”
That has been the program's intent since its origin, says Nathan Franzén, president of First Dakota's Agri Business Division.Held every other year, the program is divided into four parts, with each being a multi day event.
The first session (会议) is held in early spring in Mitchell, South Dakota, where the group explores farm management and financials. The second session is held at the South Dakota State University in Brookings, covering marketing and risk management.
In the first two sessions, students have contact with nationally known speakers, such as Jolene Brown, who comes in and talks about transition. After hearing Brown's presentation, students in the first class returned to the farm full of energy and excitement, Franzén says, but “Mom and Dad at home，or Grandma and Grandpa, weren't always ready for that conversation.” A “social” is now held allowing students to bring family members for Brown's presentation.“That way they all get to hear it at the same time. They all get to understand the message，” he says.
The third part of the program involves participants taking a trip, which has included a variety of stops over the years. “The curriculum and the content have a ton of value, but the networking has just as much value.” Franzén says. Peterson agrees with that, saying he has kept in contact with fellow participants from that first class.
The fourth session of the program focuses on strategic planning. “We walk them through what a good plan should look like，” Franzén says.
5．What is the intention of the program
A．To give farmers necessary tools.
