第Ⅱ卷 语篇综合训练
(一)阅读七选五
Agriculture has come a long way from its ancient beginnings.Long ago, farmers would work hard on their individual plots of land, using simple tools or even their bare hands.They tended to their crops for many hours each day so that the crops grew well.__1__ For example, a single storm could destroy a whole year's work, while a summer of good weather could ensure a good harvest.
Modern science and technology have helped to greatly reduce the back-breaking labour involved in farming, along with the reliance on luck and guesswork.__2__
Probably one of the most beneficial innovations is drip irrigation, which has made it possible to develop big, green farms in the middle of the desert.Simcha Blass, an Israeli scientist, discovered this new way of irrigation in the 1930s.Through this discovery, farmers can now produce crops on dry land without needing much water.__3__ The limited and focused use of just the right amount of water also denies moisture (水分) to weeds, keeping them from harming the crops.
__4__ However, what if an area has plenty of water, but little usable soil? As it turns out, it is possible to grow plants without using soil at all.With hydroponics (水培), plant roots are supported by rocks or a fiber mat.Nutrient-rich water is then provided so that the plants can grow.Recent research has centered on vertical hydroponics farming.With a vertical farm, the crops are planted in containers that are piled into plant skyscrapers.__5__
With such technological advances, the image of a farmer pushing a plough will eventually become a thing of the past.
A.Luck played a great part in farming.
B.Some areas would be too dry to grow crops.
C.Drip irrigation deals with a lack of water in an area.
D.There have been experiments to make drip irrigation a reality.
E.This irrigation method uses far less water than other methods.
F.Furthermore, nearly all hydroponic farms partially or fully automated.
G.Farmers have benefited greatly from innovations in crop production.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科学技术在农业中的应用,以及滴灌和水培农业及其优点。
1.选A 上文指出农民们为了庄稼长得好,每天要花好几个小时照料庄稼,下文以具体例子说明,突发天气状况会影响收成。由此可推知,空处应指出古代农业收成好坏也靠运气,故A项“运气在农业中起了很大的作用”承上启下,符合语境。
2.选G 上文指出现代科技给农业带来的好处,故G项“农民从农作物生产的创新中获益匪浅”承接上文,符合语境。
3.选E 上文指出滴灌的优点,农民不仅可以在旱地上种植,而且不需要太多水,下文提到滴灌使用有限而集中的水对农业的好处,故E项“这种灌溉方法比其他方法用水少得多”承上启下,符合语境。
4.选C 根据下文的“However”可知,空处和下文是对比关系,且结合上段提到用水少的滴灌可知,空处应该是对上文进行总结,同时和下文进行对比,即用滴灌能解决缺水地区的农业问题和水培能解决水多地区的问题作对比,故C项“滴灌解决了一个地区缺水的问题”符合语境。
5.选F 上文提出最近的研究都在垂直水培农业上,同时描述了垂直水培农作物的一些情况,空处应该继续描写垂直水培农作物的一些相关内容,故F项“此外,几乎所有的水培农场都部分或全部自动化”符合语境。
(二)完形填空
A 17-year-old teenager, Anika Puri, has invented a low-cost tool to spot elephant poachers (偷猎者) in real time.She won the 2022 Peggy Scripps Award for Science Communication for her model of a machine-learning-driven software that __6__ movement patterns in thermal videos of humans and elephants.“I'm especially excited by the __7__ focusing on endangered species and environmental science,” Puri said.
During a recent trip to India, Puri realized that elephants were still being __8__ for their tusks (牙).“I was quite taken aback,” Puri said.“Because I always thought, ‘Well, poaching is __9__; how come it really is still such a big __10__?’”
Over the next two years, Puri __11__ the software EISa (short for elephant savior).This wildlife poacher detection solution is based on a __12__ process: an EISa camera attached to a mobile phone __13__ over a park on a drone and __14__ the movements of elephants or humans.The software is four times more __15__ than existing state-of-the-art detection methods.It also decreases the __16__ for expensive high-resolution thermal cameras.
The 17-year-old's invention has earned __17__ from notable scientists.“Puri's software is quite admirable,” says Jasper Eikelboom, an ecologist. “It's quite __18__ that a senor high school student has been able to __19__ something like this.Not only the research and the analysis, but also being able to __20__ it in the models.”
