Longji Rice Terraces
Imagine mountains wrapped in silver water，shining in the spring sun．Summer sees the mountains turn bright green with growing rice．During autumn，these same mountains are gold，and in winter they are covered in sheets of white frost．These are the colours of the Longji Rice Terraces．
These terraces were built by the local Zhuang and Yao people，to whom Guangxi is home．Starting in the Yuan Dynasty，work on the terraces took hundreds of years，until its completion in the early Qing Dynasty．Reaching as far as the eye can see，these terraces cover tall mountains，often from the bottom to the very top．
So why did these people go to so much trouble to turn the entire mountains into terraces？Firstly，there are few large，flat areas of land in the region．Building the terraces therefore meant that they could increase the areas in which they could grow rice．Secondly，although the region has plenty of rain，the mountains are steep and the soil is shallow．The flat terraces catch the rainwater and prevent the soil from being washed away．
But perhaps what is most significant is the way in which people have worked in harmony with nature to make these terraces and grow rice．The terraces are cleverly designed，with hundreds of waterways that connect with each other．During the rainy season，it is along these waterways that rainwater moves down the mountains and into the terraces．The sun heats the water and turns it into vapour．This forms clouds from which rain falls down onto the mountain terraces once again．These terraces also provide a perfect environment for birds and fish，some of which feed on insects that can harm the rice crops．
Although modern technology could help produce more crops，these terraces still mean a lot to the local people for whom traditions hold much value．This knowledge is passed down through families，which means that new generations continue to use ancient methods of agriculture to maintain the terraces．Today，the Longji Rice Terraces attract thousands of visitors who come to admire this great wonder created by people and nature working together．

In October 2013，Davion Only made an appeal on the Internet．He had learned that his biological mother had died not long before．“My name is Davion and I've been in foster care(寄养照管) since I was born，” he said，“but I'm not giving up hope．”
The heartbreaking appeal spread quickly，and Only's foster agency received calls from more than 10，000 people．Only ended up travelling to Ohio to live with a family．But after Only got into a physical fight with one of his elder would-be brothers，the family changed their minds．
Back in Florida，Only passed through four different temporary homes over the following year，until he called Connie Going，his adoption case worker，to make a special request．Only had known Going for nearly ten years，and had asked every year if she would adopt him，but she always hesitated．“I always believed there was a better family than us out there，” Going said in an interview．But last July，when Only called and asked again if she might adopt him，Going said something felt different．“When he asked me，my heart felt this ache and I just knew he was my son，” she said．
So Going，52，invited Only to start spending time with the rest of her family—her two daughters，Sydney，21，and Carly，17，and a son Taylor，14，who she also adopted out of foster care．Eventually，after seeing how well the arrangement was working，Going，who had rented a bigger home，started adopting Only．Only moved in with her family last December．He officially joined Going's family on April 22，2015 when the adoption papers went through．
“Today，I feel blessed and honoured to have been chosen to be the parent of all my children，” Going said．

Layton Guenther recently took a break from work to talk about moving from a wealthy neighborhood near New York City to a farm on Long Island．“Farming—for where I grew up—was a very unusual career choice，” said the 32-year-old American．“But everybody belongs to the land in their own way．None of us should feel separated from it．”
Guenther was raised in a wealthy town outside New York，where most people never think about working on a farm．Today，Guenther grows potatoes，pumpkins，wheat and other crops at Quail Hill，New York．She is one of a growing number of college-educated Americans in their 20s and 30s who are changing the face of organic farming．
In the United States，organic farming is a growing，fifty billion dollars industry．Some of the best-known organic farms on Long Island are operated by women．Women make up a little more than 37 percent of all organic farmers nationwide．They represent 36 percent of all commercial farmers．Experts predict women's share in farming is likely to continue to grow．One reason organic farms are more popular is that their smaller size means less money is needed to support them．The average organic farm is about 141 hectares，compared to 178 hectares for a commercial farm．
These new young farmers chose organic farming because of their desire to have an impact on society．Guenther said that the farmers wanted to protect natural resources for future generations，to fight climate change，and to feed their community good and healthy food．
Although organic farming is growing quickly，it comes with high labor costs and sometimes smaller harvests than commercial farming．So it can be a difficult business for new farmers．“When I look now at the starting of the farm，it seems really audacious，” Guenther said．“But in that environment，in 2008，everybody had lost their jobs and there was no work．So，it didn't feel strange to start something new．”
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了年轻一代选择有机农业的原因及其面临的挑战。
8．Why did Guenther say farming was a very unusual career choice in her hometown
A．Farming is seen as the most tiring job there．
B．Farm work is usually done by women there．
C．People there have no need to farm for a living．
D．People there undertake farming in their own way．
√
C [推理判断题。根据第二段中“Guenther was raised in a wealthy town outside New York，where most people never think about working on a farm．”可推知，Guenther所在的富裕小镇的人们不需要通过务农来谋生，因此在她的家乡，务农是一个非常不寻常的职业选择。故选C。]
9．Which of the following makes organic farms more popular
A．Occupying less area．
B．Having good harvests．
C．Costing low labor．
D．Employing modern technology．
√
A [细节理解题。根据第三段中“One reason organic farms are more popular is that their smaller size means less money is needed to support them．”可知，有机农场更受欢迎的原因之一是它们占地较小。故选A。]
10．Why did the young generation begin to take up organic farming
A．To prevent climate change．
B．To make a difference to society．
C．To experience a novel career．
D．To produce more natural food．
√
B [细节理解题。根据第四段中“这些新的年轻农民选择有机农业是因为他们希望对社会产生影响。Guenther说，农民们希望为子孙后代保护自然资源，应对气候变化，并为社区提供良好健康的食物。”可知，年轻一代开始从事有机农业是因为他们希望对社会产生影响。故选B。]
11．What does the underlined word “audacious” in the last paragraph probably mean
A．Profitable． B．Exciting．
C．Promising． D．Daring．
√
D [词义猜测题。根据最后一段的“Although organic farming...business for new farmers．”并结合画线词所在句以及Guenther所说的话可知，有机农业虽然发展迅速，但伴随着高昂的劳动力成本和有时较小的收成。因此对于新农民来说，这可能是一项困难的业务。所以当Guenther回顾刚开始开农场时，他觉得这个想法非常大胆。画线单词意为“大胆的”。故选D。]
D
Although it has been revealed in recent years that plants are capable of seeing，hearing and smelling，they are still usually thought of as silent．But now，for the first time，they have been recorded making ultrasonic (超声的)cries when stressed，which researchers say could open up a new field of precision agriculture where farmers listen for water-starved crops．
Itzhak Khait and his colleagues at Tel Aviv University in Israel found that tomato and tobacco plants made cries at frequencies humans cannot hear when stressed by a lack of water or when their stems are cut．
Microphones placed 10 centimetres from the plants picked up sounds in the ultrasonic range of 20 to 100 kilohertz，which the team says insects and some mammals would be capable of hearing and responding to from as far as 5 metres away．A moth may decide against laying eggs on a plant that sounds water-stressed，the researchers suggest．Plants could even hear that other plants are short of water and react accordingly，they speculate (推断)．
On average，drought-stressed tomato plants made 35 sounds an hour，while tobacco plants made 11．When plant stems were cut，tomato plants made an average of 25 sounds in the following hour，and tobacco plants made 15．Unstressed plants produced fewer than one sound per hour，on average．
It is even possible to distinguish between the sounds to know what the stress is．The researchers trained a machine-learning model to recognize between the plants' sounds and the wind，rain and other noises of the greenhouse，correctly identifying in most cases whether the stress was caused by dryness or a cut，based on the sound's intensity and frequency．Water-hungry tobacco appears to make louder sounds than cut tobacco，for example．
Enabling farmers to listen for water-stressed plants could “open a new direction in the field of precision agriculture”，the researchers suggest．They add that such an ability will be increasingly important as climate change exposes more areas to drought．
“The suggestion that the sounds that drought-stressed plants make could be used in precision agriculture seems feasible (可行的)if it is not too costly to set up the recording in a field situation，” says Anne Visscher at the royal Botanic Gardens，Kew，in the UK．
She warns that the result can't yet be broadened out to other stresses，such as salt or temperature，because these may not lead to sounds．“In addition，there have been no experiments to show whether moths or any other animal can hear and respond to the sounds the plants make，so that idea remains based on guesses for now，” she says．
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍的是研究表明，植物缺水或者被砍断时，它们会发出尖叫声。
12．What does the experiment by researchers，at Tel Aviv University show
A．Tomato plants cry more often than tobacco plants when hurt．
B．A plant's sounds can be heard by plants quite far away．
C．Humans can hear water-hungry plants crying．
D．Moths like laying eggs on stressed plants．
√
A [细节理解题。根据第四段第二句“当植物茎秆被切断后，番茄植株在接下来的一小时内平均发出25种声音，而烟草植株发出15种声音。”可知，研究人员的实验显示番茄植株受到伤害时比烟草植株发出更多的尖叫声。故选A。]
13．What is Anne Visscher's attitude towards the finding of the experiment
A．Disapproving． B．Cautious．
C．Appreciative． D．Optimistic．
√
B [观点态度题。最后一段中提到Anne Visscher所说的话“她警告说，这个结果还不能扩展到其他压力，比如盐分或温度，因为这些可能不会产生声音。此外，还没有实验证明飞蛾或其他动物是否能听到植物发出的声音并作出反应，所以目前这个想法仍是基于猜测。”可知，Anne Visscher认为目前这个想法仍是基于猜测，所以Anne Visscher对实验结果持谨慎的态度。故选B。]
14．Taking advantage of the new research finding，farmers can ．
A．predict the drought B．reduce greenhouse effects
C．diagnose plants' condition faster D．detect and remove insects easily
√
C [推理判断题。第六段中提到“研究者们认为，让农民能够听到缺水植物的声音可能‘在精准农业领域会开辟一个新方向’。他们补充说，随着气候变化使更多地区面临干旱，这种能力将变得越来越重要。”可知，这一新的发现让农民能够听到缺水植物的声音，农民可以快速判断植物当前是否处于缺水的状况。故选C。]
15．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A．Plants Get Stressed Just like Us
B．Sounds of Plants Detected Far Away
C．Cries of Plants Break Farmers' Hearts
D．Plants Scream in the Presence of Stress
√
D [标题归纳题。通读全文，文章第一段提到“they have...listen for water-starved crops”以及下文介绍的这一研究的具体过程可知，文章是关于植物在缺水或者被砍断时，它们会发出声音。因此，文章的标题应该是“植物在压力下会发出尖叫声”。故选D。]

Dear ladies and gentlemen，
It's my great honor to speak here．As we all know，food is of great importance for us．Without food，we can't survive on the earth．But in our daily life，too much food is wasted，which makes saving food more urgent．
Here are some suggestions on how to save food．First and foremost，we should always prepare a proper amount of food and eat up everything on our plate．Besides，when dining out，we shouldn't order too much food and we should take the leftovers home．Because saving food is so vitally important，I firmly believe that it is high time that we should try our best to save food．

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The sky had gone dark，and Dad wasn't home yet．He worked all day gardening for private houses．In Georgia，that meant endless work to do．Mom told us to wait for Dad so that we could eat together．Even when Dad didn't get home until after eight or eight thirty，I didn't mind．
A few years ago， Dad bought me a backboard and hoop and installed a tall metal pole on the side of the driveway so we could have our own basketball court．It was a court made of dirt and pebbles，but still，it was a fun place．
I would shoot baskets in my spare time．Still，during the summer months，between part-time jobs delivering newspapers，helping Dad cutting lawns，we came pretty close to spending as much of the day as we could on the court．Dad taught me all sorts of shots-hook shots，foul shots，fade-away jumpers，shots from the comer，tried to send the ball through each other's legs and passed it behind our backs．Each time I felt frustrated and depressed，Dad would invite me to join in a shot game．I didn't know what it was about holding a ball and sending it into the air and waiting for it to drop into the hoop (圈)，but it felt like magic—all the problems of the world seemed to fade away，and I was the magician．
Dad once told me that he felt pretty much the same way while playing basketball．The magic was one of the things Dad and I shared in basketball．Lately，though，it didn't seem like Dad saw a lot of magic in his job．When he came home each night，it was earlier than when he usually arrived home．I could perceive something different．
注意：续写词数应为150个左右。

【参考范文】
With the financial crisis spreading，most of his customers lost their jobs．So did Dad as a matter of course，a wave of helplessness washing over him．He dragged himself back home with heavy steps．At the sight of the worried expression on his face，I fell apart inside．What could I do to stop him sinking into a dark abyss？The ball held in my hands sparked like an inspiration．“Want to join in a shot game，Dad？” I asked，knowing how much he loved basketball and thinking maybe it might cheer him up．“Sure，” he said，opening his eyes and smiling a weary smile．
I bounce-passed the ball to him，and Dad caught it naturally．He held the ball in both hands between his knees，broke through my defence skillfully，and shot at the basket．It was perfectly measured so that the ball dropped clearly through the hoop．“Whoa，what a shot！” I cheered and clapped．Dad's long-lost smile finally came back，with his face glowing brilliantly like sunshine．Magically，it was shooting baskets with me that helped him forget his worries in job for a short time and it was the warmth of family that revived him through hardship．
谢 谢！
