5 / 5 UNIT 1 课时跟踪检测(二) 语言运用综合练 Ⅰ.阅读理解 Thirty­five years ago, with just one acre of land, a couple of seeds and a bucket of hope, one Nigerian­born scientist began his mission to defeat famine (饥荒) on his continent. News of the drought across Africa in the early 1980s troubled Nzamujo.Equipped with a PhD in microbiology and his faith, he travelled back to Africa.There, he found a continent ecologically rich, diverse and capable of producing food.He believed drought wasn't the only reason for widespread hunger, and that sustainability had been left out. Nzamujo began designing a “zero waste” agriculture system that would not only increase food security, but also help the environment and create jobs.In 1985, he started his sustainable farm “Songhai” in Benin, a country in western Africa. Nzamujo lives on the farm and constantly updates his techniques.He owes Songhai's success to his degrees in science and engineering.But he also thanks his spiritual and cultural roots, and his father — a driving force in his life — who encouraged him to pursue his studies to the highest degree and to use Songhai to share his knowledge. Songhai has several “eco literacy” development programs.They range from 18­month training courses for farmer enterprisers, to shorter stays to learn techniques like weeding.People come from all over the world to study Nzamujo's methods. After seeing success on his first zero waste farm, he expanded it throughout western Africa.Today, the Songhai model is applied across the continent.Nzamujo says they've trained more than 7,000 farmer enterprisers and more than 30,000 people in total since it began. Nzamujo believes zero waste agriculture is now steadily tackling the issues he set out to defeat: hunger, unemployment and environmental declines.And he wants to see it go further. 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了学识渊博且有责任心的Nzamujo博士回到非洲，设计“零浪费”农业系统，创立“Songhai”农场，帮助那里的人们缓解了饥荒问题的故事。 1．Which factor related to famine was unnoticed in Nzamujo's eyes?
