[浙江丽水五校2025高二期中联考]In the decades following the beginning of the Green
Revolution, agricultural food production has increased dramatically. Unfortunately, there are
disadvantages to the farming methods and technologies that allow for this increase.
One problematic feature of industrial agriculture is land use: Half of the habitable land on
Earth is currently used for farming. Land that used to be home to biodiverse ecosystems has
been cleared for agricultural use, and many commercial farms use monoculture (单种栽培)
farming. Though monoculture farms produce more crops like wheat and corn, they are more
likely to be affected by disease and use up nutrients in the soil.
Another issue of industrial farming is the overuse of fertilisers, particularly fertilisers that
use nutrients like nitrogen (氮) and phosphorus (磷).Crops only use a part of the nitrogen
and phosphorus applied to them, with the rest contributing to . .run-off that pollutes the
surrounding ecosystem. This nutrient pollution creates “dead zones”
刷阅读理解
through a process called eutrophication (富营养化): Algae are plants that feed on nitrogen
and phosphorus, and then algal blooms occur. When the excess algae die due to overgrowth, the
bacteria that break down the dead algae will use up the water’s oxygen supply, suffocating fish
and other aquatic organisms.
In order to solve the problems and meet the nutritional needs of a growing global
population, the agricultural sector needs to shift its focus from industrial agriculture to
permaculture (永续农业), a way of growing food that copies how nature works, with lots of
different plants and animals living together. This helps to make sure we get the most food while
keeping the environment healthy. By protecting the land, water, and air, people may find
solutions to the problems of industrial agriculture.
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了工业化农业所产生的问题及解决方案。
刷阅读理解
1.What is a consequence of monoculture farming?( )A
A.It leads to the reduction of soil nutrients.
B.It lowers the output of wheat and corn.
C.It brings benefits to the local ecosystem.
D.It makes farms more resistant to diseases.
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Though monoculture farms produce more crops like wheat
and corn, they are more likely to be affected by disease and use up nutrients in the soil.”可知,
单种栽培的农业模式会导致土壤养分减少。故选A项。
刷阅读理解
2.What does the underlined word “run-off” refer to in paragraph 3?( )D
A.Half of the nutrients and water. B.The nutrients absorbed by plants.
C.Nutrients and water for fertilisation. D.The material’s overflow after being used.
解析 词义猜测题。根据前文“Another issue of industrial farming is the overuse of fertilisers,
particularly fertilisers that use nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus.”可知,大量使用含有氮、磷
等营养物质的化肥也是工业化农业存在的问题之一;结合画线词所在句及后文可知,农作物只能
吸收一部分氮和磷,而多余的氮和磷则会溢出,污染周围的生态系统,从而产生富营养化现象。
由此可推知,此处表示农作物吸收部分化肥之后富余并溢出的剩余化肥,画线词与D项意思相近。
刷阅读理解
3.Why does the author mention algae?( )B
A.To compare nitrogen with phosphorus.
B.To illustrate how eutrophication works.
C.To show eutrophication’s impact on fish.
D.To explain why algae die during eutrophication.
解析 推理判断题。第三段中的“This nutrient pollution creates ‘dead zones’ through a process
called eutrophication… the bacteria that break down the dead algae will use up the water’s
oxygen supply, suffocating fish and other aquatic organisms.”介绍了藻类的一系列活动及其对其
他生物的影响:氮和磷过多时会导致藻类大量繁殖,而当多余藻类死亡时,分解死去藻类的细菌
会耗尽水中的氧气,使鱼类和其他水生生物窒息而亡。由此可知,作者提及藻类是为了解释富营
养化的工作原理。故选B项。
刷阅读理解
4.What is the suggested alternative to industrial farming?( )D
A.A complete ban on industrial farming. B.A shift towards applying more nutrients.
C.A return to pre-Green Revolution farming. D.A focus on natural-ecosystem-like farming.
解析 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“… the agricultural sector needs to shift its focus from
industrial agriculture to permaculture, a way of growing food that copies how nature works, with
lots of different plants and animals living together.”可知,作者建议由工业化农业转向复刻自然
运作方式的永续农业,由此可知,工业化农业的替代方案是模仿自然界中事物的发生方式,从而
保护环境的永续农业。故选D项。

[全国新课标Ⅱ2024]We all know fresh is best when it comes to food. However, most
produce at the store went through weeks of travel and covered hundreds of miles before
reaching the table. While farmer’s markets are a solid choice to reduce the journey, Babylon
Micro-Farm (BMF) shortens it even more.
BMF is an indoor garden system. It can be set up for a family. Additionally, it could serve
a larger audience such as a hospital, restaurant or school. The innovative design requires little
effort to achieve a reliable weekly supply of fresh greens.
Specifically, it’s a farm that relies on new technology. By connecting through the Cloud,
BMF is remotely monitored. Also, there is a convenient app that provides growing data in real
time. Because the system is automated, it significantly reduces the amount of water needed to
grow plants. Rather than watering rows of soil, the system provides just the right amount to
each plant. After harvest, users simply replace the plants with a new pre-seeded pod (容器)
to get the next growth cycle started.
刷阅读理解
Moreover, having a system in the same building where it’s eaten means zero emissions
(排放) from transporting plants from soil to salad. In addition, there’s no need for pesticides
and other chemicals that pollute traditional farms and the surrounding environment.
BMF employees live out sustainability in their everyday lives. About half of them walk or
bike to work. Inside the office, they encourage recycling and waste reduction by limiting
garbage cans and avoiding single-use plastic.“We are passionate about reducing waste, carbon
and chemicals in our environment,” said a BMF employee.
