Through the fertile (肥沃的) area in south Mozambique,the Limpopo River is flowing into the Indian Ocean in the Xai-Xai district.Benefiting from the vast farmland,a suitable climate,enough water and the support from China,the project is creating a bright future for the people here. Through cooperative planting methods,Wanbao is helping the local farmers develop successful rice plantations.It not only provides seeds,farm chemicals and fertilizers,but also does land leveling and water pumping (抽水). To have good harvests,farmers work hard and learn from the Chinese.Now the local farmers’ love for farming is growing and they are getting richer and richer. “I’ve benefited a lot from the rice farming and learned to produce rice using Chinese technologies on one hectare (公顷) of land,” says a mother of five children.“With the money,I have improved my life a lot.I have built my house and my children are going to school.” An old farmer is now even teaching other farmers how to grow rice.He is cultivating crops over 40 hectares.“Thanks to the project,both my children and grandchildren are living a stable life.Now I go to the fields to support the other farmers with teaching.I hope Wanbao will extend the growing areas to other corners of the county in the future to help fight poverty,” he says. 1.Why does the author mention “ni hao” in the first paragraph?

Pure Harvest Smart Farms is developing smart greenhouses,using technology to allow agriculture to develop in the tough environment.During the severe summer months,temperatures can rocket to 120 degrees Fahrenheit.While inside the greenhouse,the environment is suitable for farming.An advanced system analyzes data to adjust sunlight,temperature and humidity(湿度).Other conditions such as water and airflow are also measured. Compared with traditional farming methods,Pure Harvest’s novel resource-efficient food production systems have great superiority,such as saving resources and reducing carbon emissions.Other special features of its systems include the absence of soil and pesticides.Pure Harvest’s growing systems also result in very low water consumption per kilogram of production. As the population in the UAE continues to grow and there’s more focus on sustainability,the new farm will help to meet this increasing demand and give UAE consumers more options to enjoy the best-quality produce.“It was something that dealt with food security,water protection,economic diversification for the region,and sustainability,” said CEO Sky Kurt. “Maybe in the future we will have enough sensors on the plants so that the line is more productive,” Jan Prins,the farm’s head added.“There are thousands of people working worldwide to make this better.” The farm will improve food security in the UAE,but the new idea could have benefits far beyond its borders.According to experts,global food production will have to double by 2050. 5.What’s the main function of the smart greenhouses? A.To address the environment issues. B.To enhance the planting environment. C.To monitor the plants inside them. D.To increase the indoor temperature. 6.Which is NOT the advantages of the smart farms? A.They need more soil. B.They are environment-friendly. C.They need less water.

B.Farmers make efforts to protect natural resources. C.Global food production has largely increased. D.Smart greenhouses give way to traditional farms. C (2025河北唐山第二中学高二上期中) The farms of the future may look very different from that of today.That’s because farms do not have to be outside anymore.They also won’t have to be above ground.In London,100 feet below the streets there was a huge empty space.Richard Ballard and Steven Dring,founders of the company Growing Underground,thought it would be an ideal spot to build a hydroponic(水栽的) farm.After all,these types of farms are doing well in other indoor spaces. Founded in 2015,Growing Underground’s farm grows microgreens and salad leaves using hydroponic technology that grows plants in water but not soil.In fact,the company said that its hydroponic technology allows for the perfect pest-free growing environment. These methods use about 70 percent water less than traditional field agriculture and all the nutrients are kept within a closed circle system.They can grow the greens all year round because they are not affected by weather or growing seasons. But it is the LED lighting system that is the key to growing food underground.Ballard said,“Already,LEDs allow the growers to change the flavor of the greens,as their sugars and starches develop differently under different light spectrums (光谱).” Right now,the company only sells greens with a lot of leaves because they are the only crops that grow fast enough to be economically feasible but Ballard believes that will change. “As technologies improve,you’ll see soft fruits,cucumbers,peppers,” he said. The company’s goal is to keep food local.They say that all of the greens can be in your kitchen within four hours of being picked.They currently sell to local restaurants in London,but they hope to be entering the local groceries soon. 9.What makes the underground farm possible? A.The rich soil. B.The great demand for fruits. C.The hydroponic technology. D.The good weather condition. 10.What is the function of the LED lighting system? A.To get rid of pests. B.To allow greens to grow rapidly. C.To provide various light spectrums. D.To increase the temperature of the underground farm. 11.What does the underlined word “feasible” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A.Difficult. B.Challenged. C.Impossible. D.Achievable. 12.What does the company expect of the underground farm? A.It’ll benefit more customers. B.It’ll be environment-friendly. C.It’ll keep food fresher for longer. D.It’ll use the latest technology. Ⅵ.七选五 Microgreen Farming Microgreens have been used in cooking since the 1980s.　1　 Chefs now realize they also add flavor and visual appeal when included in all types of dishes and recipes.  As with most vegetables,it all starts with seeds.But instead of allowing the plant to grow to its full potential,microgreens are created when the plant is harvested shortly after it starts to grow.The result is a strong flavor and an ingredient that packs a variety of nutrients and health benefits in a tiny,delicious package.The Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry states that microgreens have increased levels of vitamins E,C and K.　2　  One of the most significant benefits of using microgreens in dishes is that they provide an intense experience that will improve the overall flavor of any dish.Many chefs use them to add depth of flavor and to create complex flavor.Another benefit of microgreens is the convenience factor—they are incredibly easy to cook with!　3　 You just put them onto your meals such as soups,sandwiches,salads,etc.Microgreens are the ultimate healthy convenience food!  　4　 It is usually ready for harvest in only 6-7 days and offers a spicy radish taste.The result is a dish that not only tastes wonderful but offers a visual appeal that satisfies the eyes and is incredibly nutritious!  Traditional plants require an extended amount of time and large amounts of land.　5　 They require very little physical effort and are ready for harvest in as little as one week.In addition,growing microgreens doesn’t require a lot of space,and is typically done indoors with a vertical setup.So why not give it a shot?  A.Microgreens,on the other hand,are easy! B.They were initially used as a form of decoration. C.There is no prep and cutting work as with most vegetables. D.They have as much as 40 times more nutrients than a mature plant. E.One popular form of microgreens is a mix of purple and green radish. F.Some beginners like to start with a familiar plant,such as radish,cabbage,or peas. G.Mature traditional vegetables are generally harvested 2 to 4 months after they are planted. 知识积累卡 一、重点单词 1.cooperate vi.　　　　　　　　　　→cooperation n.　　　　　　　　→cooperative adj.　　　　　　　　　　  2.superior adj.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　→superiority n.　　　　　　　　　  3.produce vt.　　　　　　　n.　　　　　→product n.　　　　　　　→productive adj.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　→production n.　　　　　　　　　　　  二、熟词生义 1.rocket　本文义:vi.　　　　　　　　其他义:n.　　　　　　　　　　vi.　　　　  2.double　本文义:vi. & vt.　　　　　　　　其他义:adj.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  三、词块速记 1.compared with 　　　　　　　  2.result in 　　　　　　　  3.allow for 　　　　　　　　  4.give sth a shot 　　　　  四、长难句分析 Right now,the company only sells greens with a lot of leaves because they are the only crops that grow fast enough to be economically feasible but Ballard believes that will change. 分析:本句是一个but连接的并列复合句。在第一个分句中的主句为the company only sells greens with a lot of leaves;because引导　　　　　　　　　　,that引导　　　　　　　　,修饰先行词the only crops;第二个分句中that引导的从句作believe的　　　　　　　。  句意:________________________________________________________________ 参考答案 Ⅰ.1.generated　2.tackle　3.convinced　4.expanding　5.overcame Ⅱ.1.of　2.down　3.from　4.shortage　5.conventional 6.assumption　7.consumption　8.reality Ⅲ.1.It is estimated that 1.3 billion people will use English 2.Given that you are keen on the traditional Chinese festival　3.who was known as the “father of hybrid rice” Ⅳ.Activity 1 1.the serious problem of food shortage　2.To tackle the crisis　3.had devoted himself to boosting the output of rice without expanding the land area　4.overcame a lot of challenge and difficulties;attained what he had been looking for　5.His hybrid rice　6.a celebrity　7.devotion and contributions Activity 2 When Yuan Longping graduated from university,many people in our country were faced with the serious problem of food shortage.To tackle the crisis,Yuan was determined to find a solution.For years on end,Yuan had devoted himself to boosting the output of rice without expanding the land area.Yuan overcame a lot of challenge and difficulties,he finally attained what he had been looking for in 1974.His hybrid rice has helped a large number of people in the world to get rid of hunger since it was developed.Although Yuan was a celebrity,he still worked hard in the field like an ordinary farmer.Yuan’s devotion and contributions have left a deep mark on the world of agriculture.
