Farmers use simple tools and methods passed down through generations, often practicing crop rotation and using natural fertilizers to maintain soil health. This close connection to the land fosters a deep understanding of local ecosystems. However, traditional farming can be labor-intensive, low-yielding, and highly vulnerable to pests and extreme weather. With the world’s population growing, the challenge has been to increase food production sustainably. This led to the “Green Revolution” of the mid-20th century, which introduced high-yield crop varieties, chemical fertilizers, and pesticides, dramatically boosting output but also raising environmental concerns about soil degradation and water pollution. 1. What is a characteristic of traditional farming mentioned in the text? A. Heavy reliance on advanced machinery. B. Dependence on human labor and natural cycles. C. Complete immunity to pests and weather. D. Primary focus on maximizing short-term profit. 2. What was the main goal of the Green Revolution? A. To return to completely organic methods. B. To increase food production through new technologies. C. To reduce the number of people working in agriculture. D. To make farming more labor-intensive. 3. What concern is raised about the Green Revolution’s methods? A. They made farming too easy. B. They failed to increase yields. C. They caused environmental issues like soil degradation. D. They made food less nutritious. B Modern agriculture increasingly utilizes technology to become more precise and efficient, an approach known as precision agriculture. This involves using GPS, sensors, drones, and data analytics. For example, sensors in the soil can monitor moisture and nutrient levels, allowing farmers to apply water and fertilizer only where and when needed, reducing waste and environmental impact. Drones can survey fields, identifying pest infestations or diseased plants early. This data-driven approach helps farmers make better decisions, optimizing resource use and increasing crop yields. While the initial investment in technology can be high, the long-term benefits include cost savings, higher productivity, and more sustainable practices. Precision agriculture represents a shift from treating an entire field uniformly to managing it as a collection of micro-environments. 4. What is the core idea behind precision agriculture? A. Using more labor to observe crops closely. B. Applying technology to make farming more targeted and data-driven. C. Eliminating all use of fertilizers and pesticides. D. Growing only one type of crop over a large area. 5. How can drones be beneficial in modern farming? A. By physically picking ripe fruits. B. By providing early detection of plant diseases from the air. C. By replacing all human farmers. D. By manufacturing fertilizers. 6. What is a potential barrier for farmers adopting precision agriculture? A. Lack of interest in higher yields. B. The high initial cost of technology. C. It makes farming less sustainable. D. It requires less knowledge. C Food security—the state where all people, at all times, have physical and economic access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food—remains a critical global challenge. Factors threatening food security include climate change (causing droughts and floods), conflict, economic instability, and post-harvest losses due to poor storage. Addressing this requires a multi-faceted approach: developing drought-resistant crops, improving supply chains and storage facilities, supporting smallholder farmers, and reducing food waste at both production and consumption levels. It’s not just about producing more food, but also about ensuring equitable distribution and access. Achieving global food security is essential for social stability, health, and economic development, making it a key objective for international cooperation. 7. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a threat to food security? A. Climate change. B. The popularity of vegetarian diets. C. Economic instability. D. Post-harvest losses. 8. What does the author emphasize is crucial for achieving food security besides producing more food? A. Focusing only on high-yield crops. B. Ensuring fair distribution and access. C. Stopping all food exports. D. Converting all land to urban use. 9. Why is food security described as essential for global development? A. Because it only affects farmers. B. Because it underpins social stability, health, and economies. C. Because it is easy to achieve. D. Because it is a new concept. D Yuan Longping (1930-2021), known as the “Father of Hybrid Rice,” is a Chinese scientist whose work revolutionized rice production. Facing food shortages in the mid-20th century, he dedicated his life to increasing rice yields. The breakthrough came in the 1970s with the development of the first hybrid rice strain. Unlike traditional inbred varieties, hybrid rice is produced by crossbreeding different parent plants, resulting in offspring with significantly higher yield, stronger disease resistance, and better adaptability. Yuan’s work helped China feed nearly 20% of the world’s population with only about 9% of the world’s arable land. His hybrid rice technology has also been shared with many other countries, contributing to global food security. Yuan Longping’s legacy is not just in the seeds he created, but in his profound dedication to solving a fundamental human problem—hunger. He famously said his dreams were “for hybrid rice to cover the whole world” and “to enjoy the cool under the rice crops taller than men,” reflecting his dual pursuit of scientific achievement and a simple, noble connection to the land. 10. What was the key scientific achievement of Yuan Longping? A. Inventing chemical fertilizers. B. Developing the first high-yield hybrid rice strain. C. Creating a new method of irrigation. D. Discovering a new species of rice. 11. What is a major advantage of hybrid rice compared to traditional varieties? A. It requires no water. B. It has significantly higher yield and better resistance. C. It can grow in any climate without adaptation. D. It tastes exactly the same as all other rice. 12. What was the global impact of Yuan Longping’s work? A. It only benefited China. B. It contributed to global food security by sharing technology. C. It made rice farming obsolete. D. It increased the price of rice worldwide. 13. What does Yuan Longping’s second dream (“to enjoy the cool under the rice crops taller than men”) suggest about him? A. He wanted to become a farmer. B. He had a poetic and deep connection to the land and his work. C. He was only interested in setting height records. D. He disliked working in laboratories. 14. Which statement best summarizes Yuan Longping’s contribution? A. He was a farmer who grew a lot of rice. B. He was a scientist whose hybrid rice research greatly increased food production, helping to alleviate hunger in China and beyond. C. He focused only on theoretical plant genetics. D. His work had no impact outside of Asia. 15. What is the main purpose of this passage? A. To discuss general rice farming techniques. B. To highlight the life and impactful work of scientist Yuan Longping. C. To criticize modern agricultural methods. D. To explain the history of rice consumption in China. 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。 The Rise of Urban Farming As cities expand, a new trend is taking root: urban farming. This practice involves growing food within and around cities, and it’s gaining popularity for several compelling reasons. Fresh, Local Produce. Urban farms shorten the distance food travels from “farm to fork.” This means fruits and vegetables can be harvested at peak ripeness, offering superior flavor and nutritional value compared to produce transported long distances. ___16___ Environmental Benefits. Local production reduces the carbon footprint associated with long-distance transportation. Many urban farms also employ sustainable practices like composting food waste and collecting rainwater. ___17___ They help mitigate the urban heat island effect and support urban biodiversity. Community and Education. Urban farms often become community hubs. They provide green spaces for residents, opportunities for social interaction, and hands-on learning about food production. ___18___ This is especially valuable in areas with limited access to fresh food, known as “food deserts.” Utilizing Underused Spaces. Urban farming makes creative use of space that would otherwise be vacant or underutilized. ___19___ Even small balconies can host container gardens. Resilience and Food Security. By diversifying where our food comes from, urban farming can contribute to a city’s resilience. In times of supply chain disruption, local food sources become even more critical. Of course, urban farming faces challenges like soil contamination, limited space, and water access. ___20___ It represents a shift towards reimagining our cities not just as consumers of food, but as active, productive partners in the food system, bringing agriculture closer to home—literally. A. It can transform rooftops, vacant lots, and walls into productive green areas. B. Therefore, it is the only solution needed for global hunger. C. These green spaces also improve air quality and manage stormwater runoff. D. School gardens teach children where their food comes from and encourage healthy eating habits. E. However, its potential benefits for health, community, and sustainability are significant. F. It also strengthens local economies by keeping food spending within the community. G. They require vast amounts of land that cities simply cannot provide. 第二部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 My grandfather’s hands were a map of his life with the land. They were broad, calloused, and etched with lines as deep as the furrows he ploughed for decades. To me, a city-born child, those hands were objects of curiosity and, I admit, a subtle ___21___ . They represented a world of dirt and toil that seemed far removed from my own life of books and screens. Every summer, I was sent to the village, a ritual I initially ___22___ . The days were long, the sun harsh, and the work—endless weeding, hauling water—felt ___23___ . Grandpa rarely spoke much. His communication was through action: a nod toward a task, a demonstration of how to properly ___24___ a seedling. I fumbled, my soft hands blistering, my back aching. He’d watch, his expression unreadable, then simply take the tool and show me again, his movements economical and precise, a silent language of ___25___ . One afternoon, exhausted after hours in the tomato patch, I complained, “Why do we have to do all this? We can just buy food from the supermarket.” Grandpa stopped, wiped his brow, and looked at me, really looked at me, for the first time that summer. There was no anger in his eyes, just a deep, patient ___26___ . He didn’t answer with words. Instead, he plucked a ripe, sun-warmed tomato from the vine, polished it gently on his shirt, and handed it to me. “Taste,” he said. I took a bite. The flavor exploded in my mouth—an intense, sweet, and tangy burst that no supermarket tomato had ever possessed. It was the taste of the sun, the soil, the rain, and the __27__ . In that moment, something shifted. I wasn’t just eating a vegetable; I was tasting the direct ___28___ of labor, care, and time. I looked at my grandfather’s hands, then at the thriving plants, and a wave of ___29___ washed over me. That summer became a different kind of education. I began to see the intelligence in his work—knowing when to plant by the moon’s phase, which companion plants kept pests away, how to read the soil’s moisture by its color. The land wasn’t just dirt; it was a living, breathing system he ___30___ understood. My blisters turned to calluses. My resentment turned to a quiet, focused determination to get it right. When I left at summer’s end, my own hands were rougher, my skin darker. More importantly, my ___31___ had changed. I no longer saw farming as mere toil. I saw it as a profound act of co-creation with nature, a dialogue between human will and the earth’s potential. My grandfather had given me a gift far greater than vegetables: an understanding of where real nourishment comes from and the deep ___32___ earned by working the land. Years later, living in my apartment, I keep a small balcony garden. As I tend to my herbs and tomatoes, my hands, though softer now, remember the motions. And sometimes, when I taste a homegrown fruit, I close my eyes and I’m back in that sun-drenched field, my grandfather’s silent lesson echoing louder than any lecture: that the greatest satisfactions are often those we ___33___ with our own hands, that patience and care yield their own sweet harvest, and that true connection to life is rooted in understanding the soil from which we all ___34___ . The land had worked on me as much as I had worked on it, teaching me about growth, resilience, and the quiet dignity of ___35___ labor. 21. A. admiration B. pity C. fear D. pride 22. A. enjoyed B. dreaded C. organized D. forgot 23. A. rewarding B. pointless C. creative D. familiar 24. A. paint B. plant C. cook D. draw 25. A. haste B. uncertainty C. efficiency D. clumsiness 26.

Farmers who practice organic farming rely on natural methods to manage pests and diseases, such as introducing beneficial insects or using plant-based repellents. While organic yields can be ___37___ (low) than those of conventional intensive farming, especially in the initial transition years, proponents argue that its long-term benefits are substantial. Organic practices improve soil structure and water retention, ___38___ (reduce) pollution from chemical runoff and promoting healthier ecosystems. Consumer demand for organic produce ___39___ (grow) steadily due to concerns about health, environmental sustainability, and animal welfare. However, organic food often comes with a higher price tag, reflecting the more labor-intensive processes and ___40___ (high) costs of natural inputs. Critics question whether organic farming alone can feed the global population, ___41___ (point) to its generally lower productivity per land area. The future may lie in ___42___ (combine) the best of both worlds: integrating organic principles like soil health and biodiversity with precision technology from conventional agriculture to create more sustainable and productive systems. This integrated approach aims to minimize environmental harm ___43___ maximizing efficiency and yield. Whether organic, conventional, or a blend, the ultimate goal of “working the land” remains the same: to produce enough nutritious food for all ___44___ (protect) the planet for future generations. The choices we make about how we farm will deeply impact our health, our environment, and our collective ___45___ (survive). 第三部分 翻译句子（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 将下列中文句子翻译成英文，要求使用括号内所给的单词或短语。 46. 这个地区肥沃的土壤非常适合种植小麦。(be suitable for) 47. 由于采用了新技术，农民们成功地将产量提高了百分之二十。(thanks to) 48. 可持续农业旨在满足当前需求的同时不损害子孙后代满足其自身需求的能力。(aim to) 49. 气候变化对全球粮食生产构成了严重威胁。(pose a threat to) 50. 我们必须减少粮食浪费，以应对未来的粮食安全挑战。(in order to) 第四部分 书面表达（满分15分） 假设你是李华，你校英文报“Rural Revitalization”专栏正在征文。请你写一篇短文，谈谈你认为科技（如智能农业、互联网等）将如何改变未来的农村和农业。 注意：词数80左右。 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
