Unit 2 Working the land
  【导语】 荷兰一所大学的农业研究员们在与月球和火星相似的土壤中种上蔬菜,试图寻找帮助太空开拓者自己种庄稼的方法。一起来看荷兰科学家是怎样在温室种太空蔬菜的吧。
Establishing a human colony on the Moon and travelling to Mars has been the stuff of dreams since the dawn of the space age.
But these visions face many hurdles (障碍).How can humans survive for months or years in the ultra-hostile(极端恶劣的) environment of space?What,for instance, will they eat?
Agricultural researchers at a Dutch university say they are taking the first steps towards providing an answer.
They are growing vegetables in soils similar to those found on the Moon and Mars, looking for ways of helping space pioneers grow their own crops.“When people go to the Moon and Mars they also have to eat, and it's easiest for them to grow their own food,”said Wieger Wamelink,surrounded by several dozen plants in a special greenhouse at Wageningen, an agricultural university in central Netherlands.
“We wanted to use real Martian and lunar soil, to see if plants would actually grow in it,”Wamelink told reporters.
Of course, getting real lunar and Martian potting soil is an impossible task.But an Internet search revealed an unlikely supplier: NASA.
“The US space agency makes ground similar to that on the Moon from sand found in an Arizona desert, while Mars' crimson ‘soil’ is scooped (舀;掏)from a volcano in Hawaii,” Wamelink told reporters.
The first experiments started in 2013 after Wageningen received an order of 100 kilograms (220 pounds) of NASA's imitation “space soil”—at a hefty price of 2,000 euros ($2,285).
“To work in this soil was very special.Nobody, not even NASA, could tell us what would happen, even just by simply adding water,” he said.The imitation ground at first was a little “reluctant”(勉强的)to absorb water, but soon turned out to be good potting soil.
“Especially in the Martian soil, plants were growing very fast and very good.They even started to flower, something that we never anticipated(预料,预见),”Wamelink said.

Ⅳ.阅读理解
阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
Three times a week, a group of farmers work together in a village of the Democratic Republic of the Congo(刚果共和国).The group were planting potatoes.
Nearly 200,000 persons are driven to camps in the Democratic Republic of the Congo because of conflicts(冲突) in the east.Most people there say land problems are one of the causes of the area's conflicts.So recently, large landowners have been asked to free up more of their land to farmers interested in growing crops.
Is this a solution to the land problem? An organization called FOPAC is teaching this group better farming methods like planting improved vegetables in the fields.It is also showing the farmers how to remove grass instead of burning it to change grassland to field, and to use animal waste to make plants grow more successfully.
Mumbere works for FOPAC as a farming adviser.He says the hills near the town are owned by Olive Lembe,the wife of Joseph Kabila.Kabila is the president of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.Much of the land once was farmed.Mumbere says, the person Olive Lembe bought the land from last year stopped planting crops.Now, the land is mainly grassland.Lembe is now persuading farmers to grow crops on some of her land, which she has named “Hope Farm”.
“Hope Farm” requires farmers to make payments for use of the land, and payments are very low.Mumbere says the usual rental payment in this area for one hectare(公顷) is only $200 for a season of four months.Many people rent smaller fields of about 400 m2 for $10 a season.
FOPAC tries to avoid conflict with landowners and farmers.Mumbere says the farmers seemed happy with the new solution.
【语篇解读】 让农民有地可种能帮助刚果农民减少冲突。
1.What was the purpose of asking large landowners to free up their lands to farmers?
A.To avoid conflicts.
B.To control landowners.
C.To make farmers rich.
D.To make good use of the land.
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段“Most people there say land problems are one of the causes of the area's conflicts.”可知,土地纠纷是造成这个地区冲突的原因之一。由此可以推测,大地主被要求将土地租给农民耕种的原因就是为了避免冲突。
答案:A
2.What did farmers use to do before they planted crops?
A.Burning grass to get new fields.
B.Using animal waste to make plants grow fast.
C.Planting improved vegetables in their field.
D.Removing grass and dead trees to protect crops.
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段“It is also showing the farmers how to remove grass instead of burning it to change grassland to field”可知,这个组织向农民展示如何除草而不是靠烧草来把草场变成土地。由此可知,农民们以前可能通过烧草来获得新的土地。
答案:A
3.What can we learn from the passage?
A.Olive Lembe sold her land to farmers.
B.The payments of “Hope Farm” are not high.
C.The country encouraged soldiers to plant crops.
D.Olive Lembe bought the land for planting potatoes.
解析:细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“‘Hope Farm’ requires farmers to make payments for use of the land,and payments are very low.”可知,“Hope Farm”要求农民支付的土地租金不高。
答案:B
4.What is the farmers' attitude towards the solution to the land problem?
A.Negative.     B.Positive.
C.Doubtful. D.Opposed.
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段“Mumbere says the farmers seemed happy with the new solution.”可知,农民对于租种土地这一解决土地争端的方式的态度是积极的。
答案:B
Ⅴ.七选五
根据短文内容,从短文后的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。
(2019·全国卷Ⅱ)Imagine a child standing on a diving board four feet high and asking himself the question:“Should I jump?”This is what motivation or the lack of it can do.Motivation and goal setting are the two sides of the same coin.  1  Like the child on the diving board, you will stay undecided.
  2  More than that, how should you stay motivated to achieve the goal? First, you need to evaluate yourself, your values, your strengths, your weaknesses, your achievements, your desires, etc.Only then should you set your goals.
You also need to judge the quality and depth of your motivation.This is quite important, because it is directly related to your commitment.There are times when your heart is not in your work.  3  So, slow down and think what you really want to do at that moment.Clarity(清晰)of thoughts can help you move forward.
Another way of setting realistic goals is to analyze your short and long term objectives, keeping in mind your beliefs, values and strengths.Remember that goals are flexible.  4   They also need to be measurable.You must keep these points in mind while setting your goals.
Your personal circumstances are equally important.For example, you may want to be a pilot but can't become one because your eyesight is not good enough.  5  You should reassess your goals, and motivate yourself to set a fresh goal.
You will surely need to overcome some difficulties, some planned, but most unplanned.You cannot overcome them without ample motivation.Make sure that you plan for these difficulties at the time of setting your goals.
A.This can affect your work.
B.So how should you motivate yourself?
C.However, this should not discourage you.
D.So why should we try to set specific goals?
E.They can change according to circumstances.
F.Motivation is what you need most to do a good job.
G.Without motivation, you can neither set a goal nor reach it.
【语篇解读】 没有动力,你既无法设定目标,也无法实现目标。本文就如何保持动力来实现自己的目标提出了一些建议。
1.解析:根据空前一句“Motivation and goal setting are the two sides of the same coin”可知,此处在讲动力和设定目标之间的关系,故G项“没有动力,你既无法设定目标,也无法实现目标”符合语境。
答案:G
2.解析:第一段阐述了动力和设定目标之间的关系,结合空后的“More than that,how should you stay motivated to achieve the goal”可知,空处与空后内容形成递进关系,故B项符合语境。
答案:B
3.解析:空前讲有时候你的心思并不在工作上,由此可知空处应选A“这会影响你的工作”。
答案:A
4.解析:根据空前一句中的“goals are flexible”可知,目标是可变动的,因此E项“它们可以根据情况发生改变”符合语境。
答案:E
5.解析:空前一句说你可能想当飞行员,但因为视力不好,你的目标不能实现。再结合空后一句中的“reassess your goals...set a fresh goal”可知C项符合语境。
答案:C
Ⅵ.完形填空

The snakes likely arrived in the 1940s.They probably slipped(滑行) unseen onto ships and planes heading to Guam.Once there, the snakes laid eggs.Snake families grew.The snakes have no natural enemies to eat them on Guam.Soon, the island was covered with these snakes.
The brown tree snake has had a devastating effect.The snakes eat birds.There used to be 12 kinds of birds on the island.But these snakes have killed off nine kinds of the birds.The snakes can grow to be 10 feet long.They often bite humans.They climb onto power lines and make the electricity go out.This causes millions of dollars in damage.
Scientists have tried many different ways to control the number of snakes.They have used snake traps and snake-sniffing dogs.Nothing seemed to work.Nothing, that is, until they found a surprising secret weapon(武器):killer mice.
Scientists found out that there is one easy way to kill brown tree snakes.They could give them a medicine called Tylenol.People take Tylenol for headaches and other pains.Even a little bit of Tylenol can kill a brown tree snake.
But how would scientists get the tree snakes to eat Tylenol? They came up with a plan.First, the experts put the medicine into dead mice.Then they attached each mouse to a mini paper parachute(降落伞).Planes dropped the mice over Guam.The parachutes got caught in the trees.The mice became dinner for the snakes that live there.
Has it worked? So far, research shows that there are fewer snakes because of the mice.The worry is that it may be too late to clear the snakes, but Mr Vice from Guam's Department of Agriculture says this should not stop the islanders from trying.“Our long-term goal is to kill the snake off completely,”he says.

B
An average 30-year-old person who has eaten three meals a day since birth has eaten more than 30,000 meals to date.Even if you've only eaten half that much,you have to admit this: you've let some of that breakfast, lunch or dinner go to waste.And it turns out we're all to blame for this shaming fact: 30% of all food produced in the world each year is wasted or lost.That's about 1.3 billion tons, according to a new report by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization.
That's the weight of more than 8.6 million fullgrown blue whales, the largest creatures on earth.That's the weight of more than 2.3 million Airbus A380s, the largest planes in existence. That's as if each person in China, the world's most populous country with more than 1.3 billion people, had one ton mass of food thrown into the dustbin. It's almost unfathomable, isn't it?
Setting aside that big number, we find the people with the most money are the ones who waste the most.On average, a person in European and North American countries wastes between 95 and 115 kilograms of food.Sub-Saharan African, South Asian and Southeast Asian countries waste much, much less—between 6 and 11 kilograms per person.
Here's another statistic: all the food that the world's richest countries waste is about equal to all the food that sub-Saharan Africa produces.The numbers: 222 million tons and 230 million tons, respectively(分别地).Basically,the wasted food of the rich could feed much of the African continent.And these numbers come as we've just been reporting about rising food prices around the world in the past week.
And my own personal tip:if I eat at a restaurant and can't finish it all, I ask for a doggie bag.I used to be a waiter years ago and will never forget the amounts of food I saw left on the table after the bill was paid.There's no reason to waste food.It's up to all of us to use our common sense to eat and shop just a bit more wisely.
【语篇解读】 本文为一篇说明文。根据联合国粮农组织的一份报告,目前全球生产出来的30%的食物在消费过程中被浪费掉。
4.What does the underlined word “unfathomable” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Possible to imagine.   B.Impossible to change.
C.Impossible to understand. D.Possible to understand.
解析:词义猜测题。根据第二段可知,每年浪费的食物的重量超过了860万头地球上最大的动物——蓝鲸的重量,也超过了230万架世界上现有的最大的飞机——空中客车A380的重量。这也好比在世界拥有超过13亿人的人口最多的国家——中国,人均向垃圾桶里倾倒一吨的食物。由此可推知这种现象使人难以理解。unfathomable意为“难以理解的;深不可测的”。
答案:C
5.It can be learned that the food the rich waste can support    .
A.half the people in Europe B.most people of America
C.most people of Asia   D.most people of Africa
解析:细节理解题。根据第四段倒数第二句“Basically,the wasted food of the rich could feed much of the African continent.”可知,富有的国家浪费的食物可以养活非洲大陆大部分地区的人。
答案:D
6.The author gave his personal tip based on the fact that    .
A.he was once very poor
B.he was once a farmer
C.he once worked in a restaurant
D.the price of food is very high
解析:细节理解题。根据最后一段第二句“I used to be a waiter years ago and will never forget the amounts of food I saw left on the table after the bill was paid.”可知,作者的建议是根据他曾是一个餐馆服务员的工作经历而给出的。
答案:C
7.What is the purpose of this article?
A.To show the author's opinion of food.
B.To let us live more wisely and not waste food.
C.To show the amount of wasted food a year.
D.To ask the richest countries to help African people.
解析:写作意图题。根据第一段倒数第二句“And it turns out we're all to blame for this shaming fact:30% of all food produced in the world each year is wasted or lost。”和最后一段最后两句“There's no reason to waste...and shop just a bit more wisely.”可知,文章的写作目的在于让人们不要浪费食物,要更明智地生活。
答案:B
C
When Paul was a boy growing up in Utah,he happened to live near a copper smelter (炼铜厂),and the chemicals that poured out had made a wasteland out of what used to be a beautiful forest.One day a young visitor looked at this wasteland and called it an awful area.Paul knocked him down.From then on,something happened inside him.
Years later Paul was back in the area,and he went to the smelter office.He asked if they had any plans or if they would let him try to bring the trees back.The answer from that big industry was“No”.
Paul then went to college to study the science of plants.Unfortunately,his teachers said there weren't any birds or squirrels to spread the seeds.It would be a waste of his life to try to do it.Everyone knew that,he was told.Even if he was knowledgeable as he had expected,he wouldn't get his idea accepted.
Paul later got married but his dream would not die.And then one night he did what he could with what he had.As Samuel Johnson wrote,“It is common to overlook what is near by keeping the eye fixed on something remote.”Under the cover of darkness,he went secretly into the wasteland and started planting.
And every week,he made his secret journey into the wasteland and planted trees and grass.For fifteen years he did this against the plain common senseW.Slowly rabbits appeared.Later,as there was legal pressure to clean up the environment,the company actually hired Paul to do what he was already doing.
Now the place is fourteen thousand acres of trees and grass and bushes,and Paul has received almost every environmental award Utah has.It took him until his hair turned white,but he managed to keep that impossible vow(誓言)he made to himself as a child.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了一个美国青年,独自一人通过不懈的努力,把自己家乡的一家冶炼厂留下的垃圾堆变成了一片绿洲的故事。
8.When Paul was a boy,    .
A.he had decided never to leave his hometown
B.the economy of Utah depended wholly on the copper smelter
C.he hit a young visitor because of his comments on the wasteland
D.he stopped the copper smelter polluting the area

A.he wanted to find out the best way to save the area himself
B.he was interested in planting trees since he was young

D.he thought his knowledge would make his advice more convincing
解析:推理判断题。第三段说他被拒绝之后就去读大学研究植物,而他的老师说那个地方没有鸟儿或松鼠播撒种子,他这样做是在浪费生命。从这些信息看,他去读大学是因为他的请求被那家炼铜厂拒绝了,去读大学,是希望能学到更多的专业知识来改变这个地方的环境。
答案:D
10.What does the underlined phrase“the plain common sense”probably mean?
A.It was impossible for trees to grow on the wasteland.
B.His normal work and life would be greatly affected.

You're in a bit of a dilemma standing in front of the produce section of your local supermarket.In one hand, you're holding a conventionally grown Granny Smith apple.In your other hand, you have one that's been organically grown.Both apples are firm, shiny and green.Both provide vitamins and fiber, and both are free of fat, sodium and cholesterol.
The conventionally grown apple costs less and is a proven family favourite.But the organic apple has a label that says “USDA Organic”.Does that mean it's better? Safer? More nutritious? Become a better informed consumer for your next trip to the supermarket.Several differences between organic and non-organic foods exist.The word “organic” refers to the way farmers grow and process agricultural products, such as fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy products and meat.Organic farming practices are designed to encourage soil and water conservation and reduce pollution.Farmers who grow organic produce and meat don't use Conventional methods to fertilize, control weeds or prevent livestock disease.
Here are other differences between conventional farming and organic farming.
Conventional farmers
Organic farmers
Apply chemical fertilizers to promote plant growth
Apply natural fertilizers to feed soil and plants
Apply insecticide to reduce pests and disease
Use beneficial insects and birds to reduce pests and disease
Give animals antibiotics, growth hormones and medications to prevent disease and promote growth
Give animals organic foods and allow them access to the outdoors.Use preventive measures—such as a balanced diet and clean housing-to help minimize disease
*Organic or not Check the label
The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) has established an organic certification programme that requires all organic foods to meet strict government standards.These standards regulate how such foods are grown, handled and processed.Any farmer or food manufacturer who labels and sells a product as organic must be USDA certified as meeting these standards.Only producers who sell less than $5,000 a year in organic foods are exempt(免除) from this certification.
If a food bears a USDA Organic label, it means it's produced and processed according to the USDA standards.The seal is voluntary, but many organic producers use it.
【语篇解读】 本文为一篇说明文。“有机食品”一词对我们来说耳熟能详。但有机食物和普通的食物在农业生产过程中到底有怎样的差异,并不是每一个人都很清楚。
12.The main purpose of the passage is to    .
A.promote the sales of organic foods
B.inform people that organic foods are better for their health
C.compare conventional and organic foods
D.persuade people to become informed consumers
解析:主旨大意题。文章的第一段就提出了conventional apple和organic apple的不同概念,下文就这两种事物进行了对比,故该文章的写作目的是告诉人们传统食品与有机食品的差别。
答案:C
13.According to the passage, organic farming is intended to    .
A.improve the quality of the soil and water
B.take the place of the traditional agriculture entirely
C.prevent livestock from getting disease more effectively
D.adopt environmentally-friendly methods to grow plants and feed animals
解析:细节理解题。文章表格中对有机农业和传统农业做法的对比体现了有机农业的优势:在对环境有益的基础上生产健康的食品。由此可知,有机农业旨在通过对环境有益的方法进行生产。
答案:D
14.Which of the following methods belongs to organic farming?
A.Using chemicals to kill insects and prevent disease.
B.Using rotted plants as fertilizers to promote plant growth.
C.Using growth hormones to speed up animals' growth.
D.Using pests to reduce insects and disease.
解析:细节理解题。根据表格右栏中的“Apply natural fertilizers to feed soil and plants.”可知B项正确。A项中的chemicals、C项中的hormones以及D项中的pests均不符合有机农业的要求。
答案:B
15.From the passage we know the organic certification programme    .
A.is not meant for produce of all producers
B.makes it a must to attach a USDA Organic label
C.sets restrictions on the sales of organic produce
D.requires all foods to satisfy the strict government standards
解析:细节理解题。根据最后一段可知,并非所有农产品的生产商都要给他们的产品进行有机认证。
答案:A
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的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。
Correct planting methods can help a tree grow healthily. 16 One of them is choosing an improper planting place, which may be harmful to the tree.Some soils aren't good for planting some trees. 17  It'll help you determine the kind of fertilizers(肥料) necessary for the tree.
Digging too deep or too narrow a hole is also a mistake we tend to make while planting a tree.If the hole is dug too deep, the roots don't get enough oxygen supply, resulting in improper growth of the tree.Besides, a narrow hole won't allow the roots to expand and support the tree firmly. 18 Ideally(理想地), the planting hole for a tree should be twice as wide and deep as the root ball.
To protect the roots of a tree, we need to put a mulch(护根) on them.First of all, it's really important to select the right type of mulch. 19 In addition, we must use a proper amount of mulching.Over mulching may cause damage to the roots, while inadequate mulching may result in dryness around the roots.
 20 Walk around the trees to recognize the problems that have appeared, and fix them before they go out of control.
A.Different species require different planting places.
B.Most newly planted trees die because of too much water.
C.However, there are some mistakes we often make while planting trees.
D.We should make our choice based on the plant species and the type of soil.
E.So having a soil test before deciding on the planting place would be wiser.
F.The most important thing is to monitor the growth of the tree on a regular basis.
G.This may weaken the tree and its ability to stand up to unfavourable weather conditions.

Hi,everyone!
To get close to nature and do more exercise,all residents who are interested in farming are invited to take part in an activity organized by the Committee of our community.Weather permitting,we'll ride bicycles to do some farming this Saturday on a farm,about 5 kilometres away from our community from 9:00 am to 12:00 am. We can grow some vegetables,plant some flowers,and raise fish in the lake nearby.You will be trained and guided while farming.Not only will you enjoy the pleasure of labor and relax,but also you can taste fresh produce picked with your own hands if you are willing to.
Everyone is welcome to attend!
