UNIT 1 课时跟踪检测（四） 重点题型强化练 Ⅰ.阅读理解 In a long-sleeved shirt and jeans, Dieudonne Twahirwa looks nothing like the traditional African farmer.The 30-year-old owner of Gashora Farm knows what a difference that makes. “You need more role models，” he said, standing among knee-high rows of chilli (辣椒) plants.“If you have young farmers, they have land and they drive to the farm, others may think, ‘Why can't I do that？’” Mr Twahirwa, a university graduate, bought a friend's tomato farm six years ago for $150.He made $1,500 back in two months.“You have to link farming with entrepreneurship and real numbers，” he said. Many young Africans are abandoning areas in the countryside, choosing not to work hard and for a long time in the fields — a job made tougher by climate change. But Twahirwa is one of the growing band of successful farmers working to make agriculture's image on the continent more attractive.Some 1,000 farmers now produce chillies for him.He is starting a fourth farm of his own, and exports fresh and dried chillies and oil to Britain, the United States, India, and Kenya. Africa has the world's youngest population and 65 percent of its uncultivated arable land (耕地后备资源)．Yet accessing land and loans is difficult, and African productivity is low with crop yields just 56 percent of the international average. “Agriculture is mainly associated with suffering and no young person wants to suffer，” said Tamara Kaunda.She believes African agriculture needs a change to get rid of its old-fashioned image of very hard and tiring work with a hoe.“Show young people tractors, green fields, nice irrigation systems and smartphones，” she said. Getting young people involved in agriculture does not mean they have to work on a farm.For example, in coffee production, the beans go from the farm to the washing station, then to be separated from the husks (外壳)． 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了非洲青年Dieudonne Twahirwa从事农业生产，他通过自己的努力，获得了巨大的回报。Dieudonne Twahirwa为非洲青年树立了榜样。 1．What does “Why can't I do that？”
