CHEMICAL VERSUS ORGANIC FARMING
Chemical pesticides and artificial fertilisers have been in widespread use in farming since the middle of the 20th century.When they were first introduced, many farmers welcomed them as a great way to fight crop disease and increase production.Over time, however, what some scientists have found is that their longterm use can sometimes harm both the land and people's health.
For example, pesticides can damage the land by killing not only harmful bacteria and insects, but also helpful ones. In addition, these chemicals can stay in the soil and underground water sources for a long time.This affects the crops grown on the land and, in turn, the animals and humans who digest them.Many people worry that these chemicals may make them ill and even cause cancer.In fact, some pesticides like DDT have been prohibited in
most countries because of the damage they cause to people and the environment.As for chemical fertilisers, crops grown with them usually grow too fast to be rich in nutrition.They may look beautiful on the outside, but inside there is usually more water than essential minerals, and they often have less flavour as well.
As an alternative, some farmers have switched to organic farming, and many customers have turned to organic food when they shop at the local grocery.Organic farming is simply farming without using any chemicals.Organic farmers focus on keeping their soil rich and free of disease through natural means.For example, many organic farmers use natural waste from animals as fertiliser.This makes the soil in their fields richer in minerals.It also keeps the air, soil, water, and crops free of chemicals.
Organic farmers also use many other methods to produce rich soil.They often change the kind of crop grown in each field every year.For instance, they may grow corn or wheat in a field one year, and then grow beans there the next.Why different crops are grown is that they put important minerals back into the ground, making it ready for the next batch of crops.Organic farmers also plant diverse crops that use different depths of soil to help keep it
rich.For example, peanuts grow on the ground's surface, but many other vegetables put down deep roots.The goal of using different organic farming methods is to grow good food while avoiding damage to the environment or to people's health.
Some people would prefer to stop the use of manmade chemicals in agriculture entirely.What keeps them from doing so is the
fact that chemical farming serves the high demand for food around the world.Organic farming is nowhere near able to meet that need.Therefore, there is still a long way to find a suitable solution that puts sufficient food on the dinner table while keeping people and the environment as healthy as possible.
化学耕作与有机耕作
自二十世纪中叶以来,化学农药和人工肥料便广泛应用于耕作。引入之初,二者被许多农民视为抵御作物病害、增加产量的好方法,因而颇受欢迎。然而,随着时间的推移,一些科学家发现,长期使用它们有时会危害土地和人类健康。
例如,农药在杀死有害细菌和昆虫的同时,也会杀死有益的细菌和昆虫,从而破坏土地。此外,这些化学品会长期残留于土壤和地下水源中。这会影响土地中生长的作物,继而影响消化这些作物的人畜。
很多人担心这些化学品会致病,甚至引发癌症。事实上,由于对人类和环境有害,“滴滴涕”等农药在大多数国家已被禁用。至于化学肥料,用其施肥的作物通常生长过快而营养不足。此类作物外表靓丽,而内里却经常是水分多于必需矿物质,而且往往口感较差。
作为一种替代方法,有些农民已经转向有机耕作,而且许多消费者在当地食杂店购物时,也转而选择有机食品。有机耕作就是不使用任何化学品的耕作。有机耕作的农民注重通过天然的方法保持土壤肥沃,没有病害。例如,许多有机耕作的农民使用天然的牲畜粪便作为肥料,使农田土壤富含矿物质,也避免化学品影响空气、土壤、水源和作物。
有机耕作的农民也采用许多其他方法维持土壤肥沃。他们通常每年更换每块农田种植的作物种类。例如,他们可能一年在田里种植玉米或小麦,第二年改种豆类。种植不同作物,是为了把重要的矿物质重新放回土壤之中,让土壤为下一批作物(的种植)做好准备。有机耕作的农民也种植土壤深度要求不同的多样化作物,以保持土壤肥沃。例如,花生长在土壤表层,而许多其他蔬菜则扎根于土壤深处。采用不同的有机耕作方法,目的在于生产优质食物,同时避免损害环境和人类健康。
有些人宁愿在农业上彻底停止使用人工化学品。他们不能如愿的原因是化学耕作满足了全世界对食物的高需求,而有机耕作还远远不能满足这一需求。因此,想要找到一个合适的解决方案,使人类和环境尽可能保持健康,又让人们有足够的食物可吃,这还有很长的路要走。

(2025·江西景德镇高二上期末)It is that time of the year, when a handful of world's leading scholars, social activists and researchers are rewarded with what is often cited as the most prestigious acknowledgement of human effort—the Nobel Prize.Here's a look at who has won the prize and for what.
Physiology or Medicine
Swedish geneticist Svante Peabo won the first Nobel of the year, for starting the field of ancient DNA studies.He is wellknown for extracting, sequencing, and analyzing ancient DNA from Neanderthal bones.
Physics
Alain Aspect, John F.Clauser and Anton Zeilinger's work in quantum (量子) technology landed them the second Nobel Prize announced in 2022.Although Aspect is from France, Clauser from the U.S, and Zeilinger from Austria, the three separately performed “groundbreaking experiments” as one team.“Their results have cleared the way for new technology,” the committee stated.
Chemistry
The Nobel Prize in Chemistry went to another trio, Carolyn R.Bertozzi from the U.S., Morten Meldal from Denmark and K.Barry Sharpless from the U.S.“for the development of click chemistry and biorthogonal chemistry,” the committee stated.Dr.Bertozzi is the eighth woman chemist to be awarded the prize, while Dr.Sharpless is the fifth scientist to be awarded two Nobel Prizes.
Economics
The Prize in Economic Sciences was awarded to three American economists, Ben S.Bernanke, Douglas W.Diamond and Philip H.Dybvig “for research on banks and financial crises,” the Nobel Prize committee announced.By studying the history of American economics, particularly the Great Depression of the 1930s, they improved how we understand the role of banks during times of hardship and the bank's impact on societal functions.

Ⅱ.阅读七选五(每小题2.5分,共12.5分)
(2025·福建厦门高二上期末)As research is becoming more international and multidisciplinary (涉及多门学科的), some people think the Nobel Prize award system is outdated and needs some changes.When Alfred Nobel established the Nobel Prizes in his will in 1895, he specified the areas of work in which they should be awarded, namely, Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine, Literature, and Peace.1( ) The only change has been the introduction of the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1969.
2( ) Researchers have spent much of the last century developing specialized and subspecialized fields of study, and now it has become clear that these subspecializations are not independent of each other but closely related.
Some greatest discoveries have been achieved through cooperation between disciplines.Watson (a physicist) and Crick (a biologist) together discovered the structure of DNA.3( ) One example is the ENCODE project for human genome sequencing (基因组测序), which involved very large international teams that worked together over decades.
But except for the prize for Peace, which can be awarded to organizations, all other Nobel Prizes are awarded to individuals.Further, the Nobel Prize allows a maximum of three shared winners for each of the disciplines awarded.4( )
Perhaps it is time for change.With the Nobel Prize as a current hot topic of discussion, the issue of its incompatibility (不匹配) with multidisciplinary research has been discussed by several leading international newsletters.5( ) The Guardian suggests that new interdisciplinary categories be introduced and varied every year.Scientific American proposes increasing the maximum number of awardees.Whatever be the way forward, it is clear that the trend toward multidisciplinary studies should be acknowledged and encouraged.
A.They compared genome sequences.
B.Some changes have been recommended.
C.However, some are achieved individually.
D.But science has developed tremendously since 1895.
E.Even today the Nobel Prize is awarded in these categories.
F.This means that not all members can receive this great honor.
G.Also, modern scientific breakthroughs often result from collective efforts.
[语篇解读]本文是一篇议论文。文章围绕诺贝尔奖奖励体系是否过时展开讨论,指出随着科学研究变得更加国际化和多学科化,该体系存在一些问题,如与多学科研究不匹配,进而讨论了对其进行变革的建议。
1.解析:选E。上文“When Alfred Nobel established the Nobel Prizes in his will in 1895, he specified the areas of work in which they should be awarded, namely, Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine, Literature, and Peace.”说明了诺贝尔奖最初设立的奖项领域。E项承接上文,表明时至今日,诺贝尔奖仍在这些领域颁发,与后文“The only change has been the introduction of the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1969.”形成对照,说明奖项领域的延续性。故选E。
2.解析:选D。上文提到1895年设立诺贝尔奖时的情况,下文“Researchers have spent much of the last century developing specialized and subspecialized fields of study, and now it has become clear that these subspecializations are not independent of each other but closely related.”指出科学研究领域发生了很大变化。D项起到承上启下的作用,表明自1895年以来科学发展迅猛,引出下文关于科学研究领域变化的内容。故选D。
3.解析:选G。上文阐述了学科间合作取得伟大发现的例子。G项进一步强调现代科学突破常源于集体努力,与上文构成递进关系,且下文“One example is the ENCODE project for human genome sequencing (基因组测序), which involved very large international teams that worked together over decades.”举例说明了集体努力带来科学突破,与G项呼应。故选G。
4.解析:选F。上文“But except for the prize for Peace, which can be awarded to organizations, all other Nobel Prizes are awarded to individuals.Further, the Nobel Prize allows a maximum of three shared winners for each of the disciplines awarded.”说明了诺贝尔奖的授予规则。F项对上文进行总结,由于奖项授予的规则限制,并非所有参与研究的成员都能获得诺贝尔奖,上下文逻辑连贯。故选F。
5.解析:选B。上文“With the Nobel Prize as a current hot topic of discussion, the issue of its incompatibility (不匹配) with multidisciplinary research has been discussed by several leading international newsletters.”指出诺贝尔奖与多学科研究不匹配问题被讨论。B项承接上文,表明针对该问题,已经有了一些变革建议,后文“The Guardian suggests that new interdisciplinary categories be introduced and varied every year.Scientific American proposes increasing the maximum number of awardees.”具体说明了这些变革建议。故选B。

harmful residues (残留) and may have more nutrients and better taste.
Nevertheless, organic farming isn't without challenges.Yields might be lower initially 9 (compare) to conventional methods, and higher production costs can make organic products pricier.But as consumer demand for safe, healthy food surges, more research and technological advancements are underway.
Organic agriculture holds the promise of feeding future generations while protecting our planet.It's a testament (证据) to the idea 10
working with nature, not against it, can revolutionize food production for the better.
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了有机农业的发展情况。
