内容正文:

Unit 5 Working the Land 农业 单元阅读精练 In Rome, Julien Simonis tastes two chocolates — one from Hawaii with fruity flavors, another from Peru that is creamy and nutty. He says cacao beans have huge variety, but until recently there was no standard way to compare them, unlike wine or coffee rated by using internationally agreed approaches. In 2009, the program “Cacao of Excellence” created a method which could help consumers pay more for high-quality chocolate, and more money could reach farmers. That matters greatly, because many cacao farmers live below the poverty line. Most are in remote and poor areas, especially in Ivory Coast and Ghana, which produce over half the world’s cacao. The method is conducted in a lab in Perugia, Italy. Lab assistant Julia Butac picks the beans, slices them, roasts them and then mills them into chocolate. She says each type of cacao has its own personality. A panel of 15 trained tasters will make judgements on each chocolates’ acidity, bitterness, and other qualities. The method has helped small producers gain recognition. A Thai family farm, TinTin Chocolate, won an award and learned to improve fermentation (发酵) and drying. Its owner says, “Cacao of Excellence gives small producers a chance to be seen internationally. I believe it will help increase my income.” A Peruvian (秘鲁的) farm, Juan Laura, reported a 30% increase in sales. “I think this is a good way to respect the laborers and change the mind of people regarding the farmers,” says Rosaura Laura, who runs the farm, referring to the way in which farmers in general have seen their rising social position in recent years. Above all, Laura believes that this effort is allowing cacao producers, buyers and consumers to speak the same language, one that’s able to describe the magic of the beans that we transformed into that amazing stuff called chocolate. 【译文欣赏】 在罗马,朱利安・西蒙尼斯品尝了两款巧克力:一款产自夏威夷,果香浓郁;另一款来自秘鲁,口感绵密,坚果风味突出。他表示可可豆品类繁多,但在此之前,业界始终没有统一的评判标准来对比不同可可豆,葡萄酒和咖啡却早已拥有国际公认的评级体系。 2009 年,“优质可可计划” 推出一套品鉴评定标准。借助这套标准,消费者愿意为高品质巧克力支付更高价格,农户也能获得更多收益。这点至关重要,因为大量可可种植户生活在贫困线以下。绝大多数种植户分布在偏远贫困地区,尤以科特迪瓦和加纳为主,两国可可总产量占全球一半以上。 整套评定流程在意大利佩鲁贾的一间实验室完成。实验室助理朱莉娅・布塔克挑选可可豆,切片、烘烤,再研磨制成巧克力。她说每一种可可豆都拥有独一无二的风味特质。由 15 名专业品鉴师组成评审小组,针对每款巧克力的酸度、苦味及其他风味特质打分评判。 这套评定体系让小型可可生产商获得了行业认可。泰国丁丁巧克力家族农场曾斩获奖项,还学会优化可可豆的发酵与干燥工艺。农场主说道:“优质可可计划让小型生产商拥有在国际舞台崭露头角的机会,我相信这能提高我的收入。” 秘鲁胡安・劳拉农场的销售额上涨了三成。农场经营者罗绍拉・劳拉表示:“这一体系是对劳动者的尊重,也改变了大众对可可农户的固有看法。” 她提到,近年来种植户的社会地位整体得到提升。 最重要的是,劳拉认为这项评定工作搭建起统一的沟通语言,让可可种植者、采购商与消费者拥有共同的评判标准,用这套语言诠释可可豆独有的魅力 —— 正是这些豆子,最终化作令人惊艳的巧克力。 【词汇积累】 2 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权,侵权必究!

But all of that growth will take up a lot of space, and though more and more people accept the concept of solar energy, few like large solar panels to be installed near them. Solar developers want to put up panels as quickly and cheaply as possible, so they haven’t given much thought to what they put under them. Often, they’ll end up filling the area with small stones and using chemicals to control weeds. The result is that many communities, especially in farming regions, see solar farms as destroyers of the soil. “Solar projects need to be good neighbors,” says Jordan Macknick, the head of the Innovative Site Preparation and Impact Reductions on the Environment(InSPIRE)project. “They need to be protectors of the land and contribute to the agricultural economy.” InSPIRE is investigating practical approaches to “low-impact” solar development, which focuses on establishing and operating solar farms in a way that is kinder to the land. One of the easiest low-impact solar strategies is providing habitat for pollinators(传粉昆虫). Habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change have caused dramatic declines in pollinator populations over the past couple of decades, which has damaged the U.S. agricultural economy. Over 28 states have passed laws related to pollinator habitat protection and pesticide use. Conservation organizations put out pollinator-friendliness guidelines for home gardens, businesses, schools, cities—and now there are guidelines for solar farms. Over the past few years, many solar farm developers have transformed the space under their solar panels into a shelter for various kinds of pollinators, resulting in soil improvement and carbon reduction. “These pollinator-friendly solar farms can have a valuable impact on everything that’s going on in the landscape,” says Macknick. 1.What do solar developers often ignore? A.The decline in the demand for solar energy. B.The negative impact of installing solar panels. C.The rising labor cost of building solar farms. D.The most recent advances in solar technology. 2.What does InSPIRE aim to do? A.Improve the productivity of local farms. B.Invent new methods for controlling weeds. C.Make solar projects environmentally friendly. D.Promote the use of solar energy in rural areas. 3.What is the purpose of the laws mentioned in paragraph 4? A.To conserve pollinators. B.To restrict solar development. C.To diversify the economy. D.To ensure the supply of energy. 4.Which of the following is the best title for the text? A.Pollinators: To Leave or to Stay B.Solar Energy: Hope for the Future C.InSPIRE: A Leader in Agriculture D.Solar Farms: A New Development ( 长难句 1 原句:InSPIRE is investigating practical approaches to “low-impact” solar development, which focuses on establishing and operating solar farms in a way that is kinder to the land. 句子结构拆解 1. 主句主干:InSPIRE is investigating practical approaches 2. 后置定语:to “low-impact” solar development 修饰 approaches 3. 非限制性定语从句:which focuses on establishing and operating solar farms,修饰前文 low-impact solar development 4. 方式状语:in a way 5. 限制性定语从句:that is kinder to the land,修饰先行词 way 翻译 InSPIRE 项目正在研究低影响太阳能开发的可行方案,该方案重点采用对土地更友好的模式建设和运营太阳能电站。 长难句 2 原句:Habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change have caused dramatic declines in pollinator populations over the past couple of decades, which has damaged the U.S. agricultural economy. 句子结构拆解 1. 主句主语:Habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change(三个并列名词短语作主语) 2. 主句谓语宾语:have caused dramatic declines in pollinator populations 3. 时间状语:over the past couple of decades 4. 非限制性定语从句:which has damaged the U.S. agricultural economy,指代前面整件事 翻译 过去几十年里,栖息地消失、杀虫剂使用以及气候变化导致传粉昆虫数量大幅下降,这一状况损害了美国农业经济。 ) ( 1. solar panels 太阳能电池板 2. climate goals 气候目标 3. put up 搭建,安装 4. control weeds 除草,抑制杂草 5. agricultural economy 农业经济 6. low-impact adj. 低影响的 7. pollinator n. 传粉昆虫 8. pesticide n. 杀虫剂,农药 9. dramatic declines 大幅减少 10. conservation organizations 环保保护机构 11. guideline n. 指导准则,规范 12. transform…into… 把…… 改造为…… 13. carbon reduction 减碳,碳减排 14. habitat n. 栖息地 15. landscape n. 自然地貌,整片区域 请再分析一个长难句。 如何快速提高长难句分析能力? 长难句分析对英语学习有哪些帮助? ) 【综合实战演练】 语篇 题型 体裁 内容简介 Passage1 阅读理解 说明文 讲述当下年轻人普遍脱离农耕、不了解食物来源的现状,介绍可持续农业教育;说明农耕实践能提升学生环保认知,培养耐心、问题解决能力、责任心与自信心,同时把水资源管理等抽象知识具象化;文末建议从校园简易易成活作物起步开展农耕教学项目。 Passage2 阅读理解 说明文 介绍意大利 SMACH 露天艺术展中的大地艺术项目《土地之痕》,改造农用干草捆打造贴合山地地貌的遮阳休憩步道装置;作品兼具雕塑艺术价值与休憩聚会实用功能,诠释人与土地相互依存的双向关系,干草材料可自然降解回归土壤,展现乡村景观创新改造思路。 Passage3 阅读理解 说明文 介绍再生农业,该模式可修复土壤、锁住二氧化碳缓解气候变暖;欧洲农户通过售卖土壤碳信用获得额外收入,碳市场扩张速度快、覆盖多国大量农田;同时客观分析争议:若监管缺失易出现 “漂绿” 虚假环保问题,但支持者认为其兼具改善土质、保护生物多样性、减少水土流失等多重环境与经济价值。 Passage4 阅读理解 说明文 打破 “务农是世代传承纯体力活” 的传统刻板印象;介绍如今农业教育面向全社会人群,课程涵盖生态、粮食安全、农业商科、农科技术等多元内容;无人机、人工智能等科技拓展农业相关岗位,现代农业融合科技、环保、商业,发展方向丰富多元。 Passage5 七选五 说明文 讲解打造有机花园的多种自然养护手段:落叶堆肥改良土壤、重新定义害虫与杂草、引入天敌生物实现自然控害;同时提出尽早发现植株病害、缺水等问题并及时人工处理,减少化学药剂使用,全程依靠自然方式维持花园生态平衡。 Passage6 七选五 说明文 对比传统化学农业,介绍有机农业遵循无有害化学品的种植标准;阐述有机农业养护土壤、保护生物多样性、减少水土污染的优势;同时客观指出短板:亩产更低、农产品售价高、认证成本高阻碍小农户参与;最后说明种植技术升级、消费者需求上涨与政府扶持让有机农业发展前景广阔。 Passage7 完形填空 记叙文 讲述硬件工程师段严严放弃北京稳定工作,前往河北盐碱地乡村发展智慧农业;团队运用物联网、自动化设备、AI 改良千亩低产盐碱田,实现手机监测土壤、智能控水控肥,降低人工成本;创新稻蟹共生绿色种植模式,联合科研机构测试新型种子,用科技改良贫瘠土地,助力乡村农业升级。 Passage8 完形填空 记叙文 记叙出身棉农家庭的青年杨皓然,大学毕业后自主管理大片棉田;他发掘无人机农耕技术潜力,创办公司组建 90 后无人机作业团队,农忙时节用无人机开展田间作业,农闲培训本地农户掌握无人机操作;后续开展精准农业项目,依托无人机收集田间数据,实现智能灌溉施肥,紧跟现代农业发展步伐。 Passage9 语法填空 说明文 讲述陕西苹果种植带向北拓展至毛乌素沙漠的农业变革;介绍退休老人张炳贵在沙地多年试种,反复摸索出沙地苹果种植技术,依靠电商打开全国销路;当地降雨量增加、沙漠植被恢复,气候改善为沙地苹果种植提供条件,昔日荒漠转变为苹果丰收产区。 Passage10 语法填空 记叙文 追忆杂交水稻之父袁隆平院士;讲述他成功培育杂交水稻,大幅提升国内粮食产量,让民众吃饱吃好;他无偿向海外科研机构捐赠稻种,远赴亚非美多国推广杂交水稻技术、培养外国农科人才,如今全球五分之一水稻源自其研发的超级稻,极大解决世界粮食短缺难题。 Passage 1 (25-26高二下·湖北·阶段检测)Most young people today have never picked a tomato off a vine (藤蔓), collected eggs from a chicken cage, or understood the work that goes into growing a single head of cabbage. This disconnection from food sources creates a broader disconnection from the environment and the systems that sustain us. Sustainable agriculture education fills this gap by giving students direct experience with how food is grown and harvested. When the youth engage with farming and gardening, they develop a deeper appreciation for the resources required to produce food. They witness the first-hand relationship between healthy soil, clean water, and nutritious crops. They learn that food production doesn’t happen in isolation but as part of complex ecosystems involving insects, microorganisms, weather patterns, and human labor. Beyond environmental awareness, students also learn patience as they wait for seeds to come up and plants to mature. They develop problem-solving abilities when facing challenges such as pests, drought, and unexpected weather. They practice responsibility through regular care and maintenance of plants and animals. They experience how individual contributions combine to create collective success. Many students also discover they enjoy and excel at hands-on work, building confidence that might not emerge in traditional academic settings. When students work with living systems, they witness cause-and-effect relationships that might otherwise remain abstract. Water conservation becomes personal when students must regularly irrigate their plants and can observe the consequences of too much or too little water. Installing rainwater collectors, learning about drip irrigation, or comparing the water needs of different crops can make resource management tangible. Students begin thinking critically about water use, not just in the garden but in their broader lives. Simply begin by assessing your available space and resources. A sunny corner of a schoolyard, a vacant lot, or even containers can become productive growing spaces. The key is to start with manageable projects that can succeed. Growing easy, fast-maturing crops gives students quick wins and keeps up enthusiasm while they learn fundamental skills. 1.What problem can sustainable agriculture education address? A.The urgent threat posed by climate change. B.The growing challenges of ensuring food security. C.Students’ ignorance of environmental conservation. D.Students’ lack of direct engagement with farming. 2.How does sustainable agriculture education benefit students? A.By improving their physical strength. B.By boosting their academic performance. C.By maximizing their personal contributions. D.By developing their qualities and capabilities. 3.What does “tangible” underlined in paragraph 4 mean? A.Available. B.Concrete. C.Flexible. D.Complex. 4.What does the author suggest on agricultural education? A.Finding a sunny farm. B.Buying costly equipment first. C.Waiting for perfect conditions. D.Starting with accessible projects. Passage 2 (2026·辽宁·模拟预测)For several years now, the countryside has no longer functioned merely as a picturesque counterpoint (对比物) to the city but has become an active laboratory for new relationships between the landscape and people. Trace of Land is one of the examples. Designers reinterpret the hay bale (干草捆) as spatial equipment that unfolds across the fields of Val Badia in the Italian Dolomites. Presented as part of the international open-air art event — SMACH 2026, the project transforms an agricultural object into a canopy-like (类顶篷的) structure that follows the landscape, offering places for shade, rest, and gatherings. The land art equipment is a continuous path made of unfolded hay bales. It moves with the outline of the Alpine landscape. Removed from its functional role in farming, the ha y bale becomes both sculptural and architectural, drawing attention to the relationship between human labor, tools, and the land. Often seen as typical parts of farm life, hay bales are in fact products of industrialized processes, stored and transported by machinery. In Trace of Land, this industrial form is loosened and reshaped, creating a structure that switches between lying on the ground and lifting lightly to form shaded passages. The result is a temporary canopy that strikes a balance between agricultural efficiency and the natural setting. In line with the theme of SMACH 2026, hay bales represent the reciprocal relationship between humans and the land, enhancing the dialog between people and the environment. Visitors are invited to walk along and beneath the structure, using box-shaped bales arranged as seating to pause and reflect. As time passes, the hay will naturally break down, returning to the soil and completing a cycle of use and renewal. 1.What role is given to the ha y bale in the project? A.A farming tool. B.A storage device. C.A relaxation zone. D.A cultural platform. 2.What does the underlined word “reciprocal” in paragraph 4 mean? A.Formal. B.Casual. C.Mutual. D.Distant. 3.What can we learn about the ha y bale structure from the text? A.It is a permanent architectural work for farming. B.It combines artistic value with practical functions. C.It aims to promote modern industrialized farming. D.It is designed to replace traditional agricultural tools. 4.Which column of a website might the text be taken from? A.Redesigning the countryside. B.Advocating farming techniques. C.Remodeling urban landscape. D.Talking with agriculturalists. Passage 3 (25-26高二下·江苏无锡·期末)Soil, often taken for granted, is emerging as a powerful tool in the fight against climate change. A growing number of farmers around Europe are turning to regenerative farming to improve soil health and earn extra income by selling soil carbon credits. Modern farming practices, including continuous heavy ploughing (耕地) and overuse of chemical fertilizers (肥料), have seriously damaged soil structure and released large amounts of carbon into the atmosphere. In contrast, regenerative agriculture helps soil absorb and store CO₂, a major greenhouse gas, while also improving soil fertility. Thomas Gent and his family run an 800-hectare (公顷) farm on the border of Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire. They stopped ploughing entirely 17 years ago and now grow grass alongside main crops. The improved soil structure allows rainwater to drain (流走) naturally and supports healthier plant growth. “The soil is the foundation of everything we do,” Gent says. “If we look after it, it looks after us.” Companies like AgreenaCarbon specialize in measuring and confirming carbon stored in soil. Farmers receive tradable carbon credits, each representing one ton of CO₂ locked away in the soil. They can earn between £ 200 and £300 per hectare per year by selling these credits, creating a reliable extra income stream that supports their switch to greener farming methods. The soil carbon credit market is still in its early stage but expanding fast across Europe, with more than 16,000 farmers in 16 countries having joined such programmes, covering over 1.6 million hectares of land. Critics warn that the voluntary carbon market risks greenwashing if projects are not strictly monitored and checked. However, supporters believe soil carbon projects bring multiple environmental and economic benefits: better soil health, higher biodiversity, less soil erosion (侵蚀) and measurable climate action. For forward-thinking farmers, adopting regenerative farming and participating in carbon credit programs is not just environmentally responsible — it is also economically rewarding, ensuring the long-term sustainability of their farms. 1.What is the aim of regenerative farming? A.To increase agricultural production. B.To improve soil health. C.To reduce the farming cost. D.To prevent extreme weather. 2.What can be learned about Thomas Gent’s farm? A.It is the largest carbon farm in Europe. B.It depends heavily on chemical fertilizers. C.It has given up traditional ploughing for years. D.It earns most of its income from carbon credits. 3.What’s the main idea of paragraph 3? A.Extra incomes of European farmers. B.Development of soil carbon credit market. C.Popularity of greener farming methods. D.Functions of soil carbon storage companies. 4.What can be inferred about the soil carbon credit market? A.It is strictly monitored globally. B.It disturbs traditional market. C.It mainly serves large enterprises. D.It faces both support and criticism. Passage 4 (25-26高二上·福建南平·期末)Farming has traditionally been viewed as a physically demanding job which often passed down from one generation to the next. However, this long-held stereotype is now being overturned. Today, when you ask who the next generation of farmers will be, the answer is no longer automatically “the current farmer’s son or daughter”. This shift is most visible in agricultural education. Britain’s agricultural colleges and universities, once limited to sons of the landowners, military officers and government officials, now welcome students from all walks of life. Today, young men and women are learning how to raise farm animals, grow crops and manage the land, but also taking modern courses as diverse as food security, environmental science, wildlife protection, water management, business, etc. The range of agricultural learning has never been broader. Beyond education, the definition (定义) of “farm” job has expanded dramatically — driven by global demand that the world population is predicted to grow by another two billion before 2050. Agricultural technology and innovation now covers everything from drone mechanics, robotic harvesters and intelligent software. Even tech-focused students who may never get dirt under their fingernails play a crucial role in boosting food production. Technology itself is speeding up this change: AI, for example, is already changing the farming industry. It is gathering data about soil conditions, crop health and weather systems at lightning speed to help reduce the use of chemicals, save water and predict the harvest, among many other things. In short, modern farming is no longer bound (束缚) by tradition. Whether one’s interest is in animal care, environmental science, tech or business, there’s a job in modern farming to satisfy it. As one expert noted, “The business of growing is growing.” 1.What does the underlined word “stereotype” in paragraph 1 mean? A.Fixed idea. B.Job requirement. C.Relaxing job. D.Family ambition. 2.Which can best describe present agricultural education? A.Various and broad. B.Specific and limited. C.Traditional and practical. D.Popular and affordable. 3.How does AI promote farming? A.By predicting the weather. B.By collecting and applying data. C.By replacing farmers entirely. D.By growing crops automatically. 4.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.AI: A Tool for Higher Crop Production B.Traditional Farming: Root of Agriculture C.Agricultural Education: Open to All Students D.Modern Farming: Beyond the Old Stereotype Passage 5 (2026·河北沧州·一模)While pesticides (杀虫剂) are common in many gardens, they’re not the only option when it comes to creating a beautiful backyard. But going organic isn’t merely about avoiding harm of pesticides. 1 Here, we explore steps to create a garden with natural interventions. Try lazy gardening Worried about leaves building up on your ground? Sweep pathways to keep them safe and clear, but leaves left to break down become natural plant nutrition and soil conditioner. 2 These multiple functions lay the foundation for a rich and healthy environment. Reframe the idea of “pests” and “weeds” The Royal Horticultural Society encourages gardeners to think of “pests” as “wildlife in the wrong place”. It reminds us that our plants can usually handle some level of damage, and the aim shouldn’t be to destroy these creatures, but to balance them to a tolerable level. 3 Most weeds are native species that provide food and shelter for wildlife. Use biological controls 4 Unlike pesticides, these natural predators (捕食者) don’t cause any damage to your plants or your health, and they can actually be more effective at targeting a specific problem. For example, got an aphid infestation (蚜虫侵害)? Introduce some beneficial insects that eat aphids. Learn to spot problems early When you can spot and identify problems early on, it’s much easier to take action. For instance, you find disease spots on the leaves of your climbing plants, and quickly cut the infected leaves off — the problem should be solved, and no treatment is required. Or your plants look weak, so you check if the water can go into the soil well, and adjust your watering schedule. 5 A.It’s about working with nature. B.Prevent weeds with organic matters. C.Going organic offers a full harvest of positives. D.They also provide safe habitats for garden creatures. E.Natural enemies can help you manage your garden ecosystem. F.This not only builds your gardening skills but also saves you money. G.Similarly, “weeds” are simply plants growing where we prefer them not to. Passage 6 (25-26高三上·新疆·阶段检测)Organic farming has gained much attention as people grow more concerned about food safety and environmental protection. Unlike conventional farming, which relies heavily on fertilizers, and pesticides, organic farming follows strict guidelines to keep soil healthy, protect biodiversity, and avoid harmful chemicals. 1 They also help keep the environment in good condition in the long run. One important rule of organic farming is taking care of soil. Organic farmers use natural methods like growing different crops in the same area over time to stop pests from building up and makes soil more fertile. 2 The materials, made from rotted plant and animal waste, add important nutrients to soil and help good tiny organisms grow. 3 For example, organic farms are homes for wild animals such as birds, insects and small mammals. Not using man-made pesticides protects pollinators like bees. These insects are very important for plants to produce seeds. Besides, organic methods reduce water pollution. No harmful chemicals flow into rivers, lakes or underground water. Despite its benefits, organic farming has problems too. A major issue is lower yield than conventional farming. Without fertilizers to boost growth, crops produce less per acre. This lower yield makes organic food more expensive. Moreover, organic certification costs a lot and takes time, making it hard for small-scale farmers to adopt. 4 However, organic farming’s future looks promising. Advances in techniques, like natural pest control and better soil management, boost yields. 5 Governments also support it by research funding, and sustainable agriculture policies. As more recognize its benefits, organic farming will play a bigger role in global food production. A.These methods make sure food is safe and healthy. B.Organic farming works with nature to produce food. C.These challenges limit its expansion, even as demand rises. D.Organic farming also benefits biodiversity and the environment. E.Many consumers pay more for organic products for health benefits. F.Also, consumer awareness and demand for organic products grow fast. G.Another natural thing to improve soil in organic farming is farm wastes. Passage 7 (25-26高二上·江西上饶·期末)At 32, Duan Yanyan could have had a stable career in Beijing. 1 , he chose to work in Laoting county, Hebei, a place full of saline-alkali (盐碱) land. With a background in hardware development, he said, “Office work felt 2 from real farming.

He 1 how hard his parents had to work using conventional farming methods, as well as how automation has 2 productivity and saved labor. Having finished university, Yang became a 3 farmer himself. However, unlike his parents, his experience has been very 4 : he manages over 200,000 square meters of cotton fields and always 5 new ways to improve efficiency through technological 6 .

Farmers move through trees, their baskets filling with fruit that shines in the warm autumn light. It’s 1 scene of abundance (丰盛) that would have been unthinkable just twenty years ago. The transformation is part of a quiet agricultural revolution — the northward march of Shaanxi’s apple belt, extending hundreds of kilometers into 2 was once an unyielding desert. Shaanxi’s traditional apple-growing areas were concentrated in the area north of the Weihe River. In recent years, the planting zone 3 (expand) northward all the way to the Maowusu Desert, which means one in every four apples 4 (harvest) in China now comes from Shaanxi. The story of this expansion is written in the weathered face of 85-year-old Zhang Binggui. In 2003, after retiring, he rented sandy land in Yulin, determined 5 (make) something grow. His early experiments with grapes and date trees ended in 6 (fail), drawing laughter from neighbors. However, Zhang’s perseverance led him to shift his focus 7 apples. Through years of trial and error, today, he, 8 (eventual) pioneered techniques for sandy soil, increased sales through e-commerce 9 brought their sandy land apples to the national market. This northward march is also a story written by the changing climate. Between 2010 and 2024, the city’s average yearly rainfall rose. Once known for its vast 10 (stretch) of shifting dunes (沙丘), the Maowusu Desert is now turning green.

Among them were bowls of 2 (boil) rice. Several of the mourners said that whenever they sat down to a meal, they would remember “Grandfather Yuan Longping”, 3 super rice has helped to feed China and the world. In 1970, Yuan Longping succeeded 4 crossbreeding the ordinary rice and the wild rice. Since then, he kept on working to make his rice better. Thanks to his hybrid rice, China’s rice crop rose from 57m tonnes in 1950 to 195m in 2017. Higher rice yields also allowed farmers to turn more land to other 5 (use) — fruit, vegetables, fish ponds — so that people not only ate more, 6 also ate well. That was 7 Yuan had done for the world as well. Once his rice grew well, he 8 (donate) seeds to the International Rice Research Institute in the Philippines. Then he travelled all across Asia, Africa and America 9 (popularize) the technology. He also invited foreign students to the Hunan Hybrid Rice Research Centre in Changsha to instruct them. A 10 (five) of all rice grown globally now comes from his super rice.

He says cacao beans have huge variety, but until recently there was no standard way to compare them, unlike wine or coffee rated by using internationally agreed approaches. In 2009, the program “Cacao of Excellence” created a method which could help consumers pay more for high-quality chocolate, and more money could reach farmers. That matters greatly, because many cacao farmers live below the poverty line. Most are in remote and poor areas, especially in Ivory Coast and Ghana, which produce over half the world’s cacao. The method is conducted in a lab in Perugia, Italy. Lab assistant Julia Butac picks the beans, slices them, roasts them and then mills them into chocolate. She says each type of cacao has its own personality. A panel of 15 trained tasters will make judgements on each chocolates’ acidity, bitterness, and other qualities. The method has helped small producers gain recognition. A Thai family farm, TinTin Chocolate, won an award and learned to improve fermentation (发酵) and drying. Its owner says, “Cacao of Excellence gives small producers a chance to be seen internationally. I believe it will help increase my income.” A Peruvian (秘鲁的) farm, Juan Laura, reported a 30% increase in sales. “I think this is a good way to respect the laborers and change the mind of people regarding the farmers,” says Rosaura Laura, who runs the farm, referring to the way in which farmers in general have seen their rising social position in recent years. Above all, Laura believes that this effort is allowing cacao producers, buyers and consumers to speak the same language, one that’s able to describe the magic of the beans that we transformed into that amazing stuff called chocolate. 【译文欣赏】 在罗马,朱利安・西蒙尼斯品尝了两款巧克力:一款产自夏威夷,果香浓郁;另一款来自秘鲁,口感绵密,坚果风味突出。他表示可可豆品类繁多,但在此之前,业界始终没有统一的评判标准来对比不同可可豆,葡萄酒和咖啡却早已拥有国际公认的评级体系。 2009 年,“优质可可计划” 推出一套品鉴评定标准。借助这套标准,消费者愿意为高品质巧克力支付更高价格,农户也能获得更多收益。这点至关重要,因为大量可可种植户生活在贫困线以下。绝大多数种植户分布在偏远贫困地区,尤以科特迪瓦和加纳为主,两国可可总产量占全球一半以上。 整套评定流程在意大利佩鲁贾的一间实验室完成。实验室助理朱莉娅・布塔克挑选可可豆,切片、烘烤,再研磨制成巧克力。她说每一种可可豆都拥有独一无二的风味特质。由 15 名专业品鉴师组成评审小组,针对每款巧克力的酸度、苦味及其他风味特质打分评判。 这套评定体系让小型可可生产商获得了行业认可。泰国丁丁巧克力家族农场曾斩获奖项,还学会优化可可豆的发酵与干燥工艺。农场主说道:“优质可可计划让小型生产商拥有在国际舞台崭露头角的机会,我相信这能提高我的收入。” 秘鲁胡安・劳拉农场的销售额上涨了三成。农场经营者罗绍拉・劳拉表示:“这一体系是对劳动者的尊重,也改变了大众对可可农户的固有看法。” 她提到,近年来种植户的社会地位整体得到提升。 最重要的是,劳拉认为这项评定工作搭建起统一的沟通语言,让可可种植者、采购商与消费者拥有共同的评判标准,用这套语言诠释可可豆独有的魅力 —— 正是这些豆子,最终化作令人惊艳的巧克力。 【词汇积累】 2 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权,侵权必究!

But all of that growth will take up a lot of space, and though more and more people accept the concept of solar energy, few like large solar panels to be installed near them. Solar developers want to put up panels as quickly and cheaply as possible, so they haven’t given much thought to what they put under them. Often, they’ll end up filling the area with small stones and using chemicals to control weeds. The result is that many communities, especially in farming regions, see solar farms as destroyers of the soil. “Solar projects need to be good neighbors,” says Jordan Macknick, the head of the Innovative Site Preparation and Impact Reductions on the Environment(InSPIRE)project. “They need to be protectors of the land and contribute to the agricultural economy.” InSPIRE is investigating practical approaches to “low-impact” solar development, which focuses on establishing and operating solar farms in a way that is kinder to the land. One of the easiest low-impact solar strategies is providing habitat for pollinators(传粉昆虫). Habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change have caused dramatic declines in pollinator populations over the past couple of decades, which has damaged the U.S. agricultural economy. Over 28 states have passed laws related to pollinator habitat protection and pesticide use. Conservation organizations put out pollinator-friendliness guidelines for home gardens, businesses, schools, cities—and now there are guidelines for solar farms. Over the past few years, many solar farm developers have transformed the space under their solar panels into a shelter for various kinds of pollinators, resulting in soil improvement and carbon reduction. “These pollinator-friendly solar farms can have a valuable impact on everything that’s going on in the landscape,” says Macknick. 1.What do solar developers often ignore? A.The decline in the demand for solar energy. B.The negative impact of installing solar panels. C.The rising labor cost of building solar farms. D.The most recent advances in solar technology. 2.What does InSPIRE aim to do? A.Improve the productivity of local farms. B.Invent new methods for controlling weeds. C.Make solar projects environmentally friendly. D.Promote the use of solar energy in rural areas. 3.What is the purpose of the laws mentioned in paragraph 4? A.To conserve pollinators. B.To restrict solar development. C.To diversify the economy. D.To ensure the supply of energy. 4.Which of the following is the best title for the text? A.Pollinators: To Leave or to Stay B.Solar Energy: Hope for the Future C.InSPIRE: A Leader in Agriculture D.Solar Farms: A New Development 【答案】1.B 2.C 3.A 4.D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍的是用一种更加友好的方式建立一种新型的太阳能农场,这种新型的农场更有利于保护各种传粉昆虫,从而促进农业的发展。 1.推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Often, they’ll end up filling the area with small stones and using chemicals to control weeds. The result is that many communities, especially in farming regions, see solar farms as destroyers of the soil.(通常,他们最终会用小石头填满该地区,并使用化学物质来控制杂草。结果是,许多社区,特别是在农业地区,将太阳能农场视为土壤的破坏者。)”可知,太阳能开发者采用不环保的方式处理太阳能板安装后产生的问题,导致人们把太阳能农场看作是土壤的破坏者,由此可以推断,开发者在安装太阳能板后忽略了其带来的负面影响。故选B项。 2.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“InSPIRE is investigating practical approaches to “low-impact” solar development, which focuses on establishing and operating solar farms in a way that is kinder to the land.(InSPIRE正在研究“低影响”太阳能开发的实用方法,其重点是以对土地更友好的方式建立和运营太阳能农场。)”可知,InSPIRE采用有好的方式建立和运营太阳能农场,也就是使得太阳能农场更加环保。故选C项。 3.细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Over 28 states have passed laws related to pollinator habitat protection and pesticide use.(超过28个州通过了与传粉媒介栖息地保护和农药使用有关的法律。)”可知,这些法律都是与保护传粉者栖息地和农药使用相关,所以这些法律的目的是保护授粉者。故选A项。 4.主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的“Over the past few years, many solar farm developers have transformed the space under their solar panels into a shelter for various kinds of pollinators, resulting in soil improvement and carbon reduction.(在过去的几年里,许多太阳能农场开发商将太阳能电池板下的空间改造成各种传粉媒介的庇护所,从而改善了土壤并减少了碳排放。)”可知,现在的太阳能农场在过去的几年里已经得到了很大的发展,更重要的是太阳能农场也变得更加的环保,这将是未来发展农业的新趋势,再结合全文对太阳农场的发展过程的介绍可以判断,本文主题是介绍太阳能农场。故选D项。 ( 长难句 1 原句:InSPIRE is investigating practical approaches to “low-impact” solar development, which focuses on establishing and operating solar farms in a way that is kinder to the land. 句子结构拆解 1. 主句主干:InSPIRE is investigating practical approaches 2. 后置定语:to “low-impact” solar development 修饰 approaches 3. 非限制性定语从句:which focuses on establishing and operating solar farms,修饰前文 low-impact solar development 4. 方式状语:in a way 5. 限制性定语从句:that is kinder to the land,修饰先行词 way 翻译 InSPIRE 项目正在研究低影响太阳能开发的可行方案,该方案重点采用对土地更友好的模式建设和运营太阳能电站。 长难句 2 原句:Habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change have caused dramatic declines in pollinator populations over the past couple of decades, which has damaged the U.S. agricultural economy. 句子结构拆解 1. 主句主语:Habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change(三个并列名词短语作主语) 2. 主句谓语宾语:have caused dramatic declines in pollinator populations 3. 时间状语:over the past couple of decades 4. 非限制性定语从句:which has damaged the U.S. agricultural economy,指代前面整件事 翻译 过去几十年里,栖息地消失、杀虫剂使用以及气候变化导致传粉昆虫数量大幅下降,这一状况损害了美国农业经济。 ) ( 1. solar panels 太阳能电池板 2. climate goals 气候目标 3. put up 搭建,安装 4. control weeds 除草,抑制杂草 5. agricultural economy 农业经济 6. low-impact adj. 低影响的 7. pollinator n. 传粉昆虫 8. pesticide n. 杀虫剂,农药 9. dramatic declines 大幅减少 10. conservation organizations 环保保护机构 11. guideline n. 指导准则,规范 12. transform…into… 把…… 改造为…… 13. carbon reduction 减碳,碳减排 14. habitat n. 栖息地 15. landscape n. 自然地貌,整片区域 请再分析一个长难句。 如何快速提高长难句分析能力? 长难句分析对英语学习有哪些帮助? ) 【综合实战演练】 语篇 题型 体裁 内容简介 Passage1 阅读理解 说明文 讲述当下年轻人普遍脱离农耕、不了解食物来源的现状,介绍可持续农业教育;说明农耕实践能提升学生环保认知,培养耐心、问题解决能力、责任心与自信心,同时把水资源管理等抽象知识具象化;文末建议从校园简易易成活作物起步开展农耕教学项目。 Passage2 阅读理解 说明文 介绍意大利 SMACH 露天艺术展中的大地艺术项目《土地之痕》,改造农用干草捆打造贴合山地地貌的遮阳休憩步道装置;作品兼具雕塑艺术价值与休憩聚会实用功能,诠释人与土地相互依存的双向关系,干草材料可自然降解回归土壤,展现乡村景观创新改造思路。 Passage3 阅读理解 说明文 介绍再生农业,该模式可修复土壤、锁住二氧化碳缓解气候变暖;欧洲农户通过售卖土壤碳信用获得额外收入,碳市场扩张速度快、覆盖多国大量农田;同时客观分析争议:若监管缺失易出现 “漂绿” 虚假环保问题,但支持者认为其兼具改善土质、保护生物多样性、减少水土流失等多重环境与经济价值。 Passage4 阅读理解 说明文 打破 “务农是世代传承纯体力活” 的传统刻板印象;介绍如今农业教育面向全社会人群,课程涵盖生态、粮食安全、农业商科、农科技术等多元内容;无人机、人工智能等科技拓展农业相关岗位,现代农业融合科技、环保、商业,发展方向丰富多元。 Passage5 七选五 说明文 讲解打造有机花园的多种自然养护手段:落叶堆肥改良土壤、重新定义害虫与杂草、引入天敌生物实现自然控害;同时提出尽早发现植株病害、缺水等问题并及时人工处理,减少化学药剂使用,全程依靠自然方式维持花园生态平衡。 Passage6 七选五 说明文 对比传统化学农业,介绍有机农业遵循无有害化学品的种植标准;阐述有机农业养护土壤、保护生物多样性、减少水土污染的优势;同时客观指出短板:亩产更低、农产品售价高、认证成本高阻碍小农户参与;最后说明种植技术升级、消费者需求上涨与政府扶持让有机农业发展前景广阔。 Passage7 完形填空 记叙文 讲述硬件工程师段严严放弃北京稳定工作,前往河北盐碱地乡村发展智慧农业;团队运用物联网、自动化设备、AI 改良千亩低产盐碱田,实现手机监测土壤、智能控水控肥,降低人工成本;创新稻蟹共生绿色种植模式,联合科研机构测试新型种子,用科技改良贫瘠土地,助力乡村农业升级。 Passage8 完形填空 记叙文 记叙出身棉农家庭的青年杨皓然,大学毕业后自主管理大片棉田;他发掘无人机农耕技术潜力,创办公司组建 90 后无人机作业团队,农忙时节用无人机开展田间作业,农闲培训本地农户掌握无人机操作;后续开展精准农业项目,依托无人机收集田间数据,实现智能灌溉施肥,紧跟现代农业发展步伐。 Passage9 语法填空 说明文 讲述陕西苹果种植带向北拓展至毛乌素沙漠的农业变革;介绍退休老人张炳贵在沙地多年试种,反复摸索出沙地苹果种植技术,依靠电商打开全国销路;当地降雨量增加、沙漠植被恢复,气候改善为沙地苹果种植提供条件,昔日荒漠转变为苹果丰收产区。 Passage10 语法填空 记叙文 追忆杂交水稻之父袁隆平院士;讲述他成功培育杂交水稻,大幅提升国内粮食产量,让民众吃饱吃好;他无偿向海外科研机构捐赠稻种,远赴亚非美多国推广杂交水稻技术、培养外国农科人才,如今全球五分之一水稻源自其研发的超级稻,极大解决世界粮食短缺难题。 Passage 1 (25-26高二下·湖北·阶段检测)Most young people today have never picked a tomato off a vine (藤蔓), collected eggs from a chicken cage, or understood the work that goes into growing a single head of cabbage. This disconnection from food sources creates a broader disconnection from the environment and the systems that sustain us. Sustainable agriculture education fills this gap by giving students direct experience with how food is grown and harvested. When the youth engage with farming and gardening, they develop a deeper appreciation for the resources required to produce food. They witness the first-hand relationship between healthy soil, clean water, and nutritious crops. They learn that food production doesn’t happen in isolation but as part of complex ecosystems involving insects, microorganisms, weather patterns, and human labor. Beyond environmental awareness, students also learn patience as they wait for seeds to come up and plants to mature. They develop problem-solving abilities when facing challenges such as pests, drought, and unexpected weather. They practice responsibility through regular care and maintenance of plants and animals. They experience how individual contributions combine to create collective success. Many students also discover they enjoy and excel at hands-on work, building confidence that might not emerge in traditional academic settings. When students work with living systems, they witness cause-and-effect relationships that might otherwise remain abstract. Water conservation becomes personal when students must regularly irrigate their plants and can observe the consequences of too much or too little water. Installing rainwater collectors, learning about drip irrigation, or comparing the water needs of different crops can make resource management tangible. Students begin thinking critically about water use, not just in the garden but in their broader lives. Simply begin by assessing your available space and resources. A sunny corner of a schoolyard, a vacant lot, or even containers can become productive growing spaces. The key is to start with manageable projects that can succeed. Growing easy, fast-maturing crops gives students quick wins and keeps up enthusiasm while they learn fundamental skills. 1.What problem can sustainable agriculture education address? A.The urgent threat posed by climate change. B.The growing challenges of ensuring food security. C.Students’ ignorance of environmental conservation. D.Students’ lack of direct engagement with farming. 2.How does sustainable agriculture education benefit students? A.By improving their physical strength. B.By boosting their academic performance. C.By maximizing their personal contributions. D.By developing their qualities and capabilities. 3.What does “tangible” underlined in paragraph 4 mean? A.Available. B.Concrete. C.Flexible. D.Complex. 4.What does the author suggest on agricultural education? A.Finding a sunny farm. B.Buying costly equipment first. C.Waiting for perfect conditions. D.Starting with accessible projects. 【答案】1.D 2.D 3.B 4.D 【导语】文章介绍了可持续农业教育对学生认知、能力与环保意识的益处。 1.细节理解题。根据第一段“This disconnection from food sources creates a broader disconnection from the environment and the systems that sustain us. Sustainable agriculture education fills this gap by giving students direct experience with how food is grown and harvested.(这种与食物来源的脱节造成了与环境和生存系统的更大脱节。可持续农业教育通过让学生直接体验食物的种植和收获来填补这一空白。)”可知,该教育解决学生缺乏农耕实践、脱离农业生产的问题。 2.推理判断题。根据第三段“Beyond environmental awareness, students also learn patience as they wait for seeds to come up and plants to mature. They develop problem-solving abilities when facing challenges such as pests, drought, and unexpected weather. They practice responsibility through regular care and maintenance of plants and animals. They experience how individual contributions combine to create collective success. Many students also discover they enjoy and excel at hands-on work, building confidence that might not emerge in traditional academic settings.(除了提升环境意识,学生们在等待种子发芽、作物成熟的过程中学会了耐心。面对虫害、干旱和异常天气等挑战时,他们培养了解决问题的能力。通过对动植物的日常照料和维护,他们践行着责任感。他们亲身体会到个人贡献如何汇聚成集体成果。许多学生还发现自己喜爱并擅长动手实践,这建立了在传统课堂中可能无法获得的自信。)”可知,该教育全面培养学生的个人品质与综合能力。 3.词句猜测题。根据第四段“When students work with living systems, they witness cause-and-effect relationships that might otherwise remain abstract. Water conservation becomes personal when students must regularly irrigate their plants and can observe the consequences of too much or too little water. Installing rainwater collectors, learning about drip irrigation, or comparing the water needs of different crops can make resource management tangible.(当学生们接触生命系统时,那些原本可能停留在抽象层面的因果关系变得清晰可见。当学生必须定期灌溉作物,并能直观看到水分过多或过少带来的后果时,节水意识就转化为切身感受。安装雨水收集器、学习滴灌技术、比较不同作物的需水量,这些实践能让资源管理变得tangible。)”可知,亲身实践让抽象知识变为具体可感知的内容。tangible意为“具体的”。 4.细节理解题。根据最后一段“The key is to start with manageable projects that can succeed.(关键在于从可操作、能成功的项目起步。)”可知,作者建议从简单易开展、可实现的项目入手。 Passage 2 (2026·辽宁·模拟预测)For several years now, the countryside has no longer functioned merely as a picturesque counterpoint (对比物) to the city but has become an active laboratory for new relationships between the landscape and people. Trace of Land is one of the examples. Designers reinterpret the hay bale (干草捆) as spatial equipment that unfolds across the fields of Val Badia in the Italian Dolomites. Presented as part of the international open-air art event — SMACH 2026, the project transforms an agricultural object into a canopy-like (类顶篷的) structure that follows the landscape, offering places for shade, rest, and gatherings. The land art equipment is a continuous path made of unfolded hay bales. It moves with the outline of the Alpine landscape. Removed from its functional role in farming, the ha y bale becomes both sculptural and architectural, drawing attention to the relationship between human labor, tools, and the land. Often seen as typical parts of farm life, hay bales are in fact products of industrialized processes, stored and transported by machinery. In Trace of Land, this industrial form is loosened and reshaped, creating a structure that switches between lying on the ground and lifting lightly to form shaded passages. The result is a temporary canopy that strikes a balance between agricultural efficiency and the natural setting. In line with the theme of SMACH 2026, hay bales represent the reciprocal relationship between humans and the land, enhancing the dialog between people and the environment. Visitors are invited to walk along and beneath the structure, using box-shaped bales arranged as seating to pause and reflect. As time passes, the hay will naturally break down, returning to the soil and completing a cycle of use and renewal. 1.What role is given to the ha y bale in the project? A.A farming tool. B.A storage device. C.A relaxation zone. D.A cultural platform. 2.What does the underlined word “reciprocal” in paragraph 4 mean? A.Formal. B.Casual. C.Mutual. D.Distant. 3.What can we learn about the ha y bale structure from the text? A.It is a permanent architectural work for farming. B.It combines artistic value with practical functions. C.It aims to promote modern industrialized farming. D.It is designed to replace traditional agricultural tools. 4.Which column of a website might the text be taken from? A.Redesigning the countryside. B.Advocating farming techniques. C.Remodeling urban landscape. D.Talking with agriculturalists. 【答案】1.C 2.C 3.B 4.A 【导语】本文介绍了意大利一项名为“土地之痕”的乡村大地艺术项目,该项目将干草捆重新设计改造,打造出兼具艺术与实用价值的景观设施,诠释了人与土地之间的联系。 1.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Presented as part of the international open-air art event — SMACH 2026, the project transforms an agricultural object into a canopy-like (类顶篷的) structure that follows the landscape, offering places for shade, rest, and gatherings.(该项目是2026年SMACH国际露天艺术展的组成部分,它将传统农耕物品改造为贴合自然地貌的顶篷式建筑,为人们提供遮阳、休憩与聚会的场所。)”可知,该项目将干草捆改造为可供人休闲、休憩的区域。 2.词句猜测题。 根据第四段中的“hay bales represent the reciprocal relationship between humans and the land, enhancing the dialog between people and the environment.(干草捆代表了人与土地之间reciprocal的关系,加强了人与环境之间的对话)”可知,这种关系是指人与土地相互作用、相互影响的关系。“reciprocal”意为“相互的”,与“Mutual”意思相近。 3.推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Removed from its functional role in farming, the hay bale becomes both sculptural and architectural, drawing attention to the relationship between human labor, tools, and the land.(干草捆脱离了原本的农耕用途,兼具雕塑艺术与建筑价值,让人们关注到人类劳动、生产工具与土地之间的关联。)”以及第二段提到的装置可遮阳、休憩的实用功能可知,该干草捆装置同时具备艺术价值与实用功能。 4.推理判断题。根据第一段中的“For several years now, the countryside has no longer functioned merely as a picturesque counterpoint (对比物) to the city but has become an active laboratory for new relationships between the landscape and people.(多年来,乡村不再仅仅是城市风景优美的映衬,而是成为了探索人与自然、地貌与人之间全新关系的实践场地。)”可知,全文围绕乡村艺术改造、重塑乡村风貌展开,最符合“重塑乡村”的栏目主题。 Passage 3 (25-26高二下·江苏无锡·期末)Soil, often taken for granted, is emerging as a powerful tool in the fight against climate change. A growing number of farmers around Europe are turning to regenerative farming to improve soil health and earn extra income by selling soil carbon credits. Modern farming practices, including continuous heavy ploughing (耕地) and overuse of chemical fertilizers (肥料), have seriously damaged soil structure and released large amounts of carbon into the atmosphere. In contrast, regenerative agriculture helps soil absorb and store CO₂, a major greenhouse gas, while also improving soil fertility. Thomas Gent and his family run an 800-hectare (公顷) farm on the border of Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire. They stopped ploughing entirely 17 years ago and now grow grass alongside main crops. The improved soil structure allows rainwater to drain (流走) naturally and supports healthier plant growth. “The soil is the foundation of everything we do,” Gent says. “If we look after it, it looks after us.” Companies like AgreenaCarbon specialize in measuring and confirming carbon stored in soil. Farmers receive tradable carbon credits, each representing one ton of CO₂ locked away in the soil. They can earn between £ 200 and £300 per hectare per year by selling these credits, creating a reliable extra income stream that supports their switch to greener farming methods. The soil carbon credit market is still in its early stage but expanding fast across Europe, with more than 16,000 farmers in 16 countries having joined such programmes, covering over 1.6 million hectares of land. Critics warn that the voluntary carbon market risks greenwashing if projects are not strictly monitored and checked. However, supporters believe soil carbon projects bring multiple environmental and economic benefits: better soil health, higher biodiversity, less soil erosion (侵蚀) and measurable climate action. For forward-thinking farmers, adopting regenerative farming and participating in carbon credit programs is not just environmentally responsible — it is also economically rewarding, ensuring the long-term sustainability of their farms. 1.What is the aim of regenerative farming? A.To increase agricultural production. B.To improve soil health. C.To reduce the farming cost. D.To prevent extreme weather. 2.What can be learned about Thomas Gent’s farm? A.It is the largest carbon farm in Europe. B.It depends heavily on chemical fertilizers. C.It has given up traditional ploughing for years. D.It earns most of its income from carbon credits. 3.What’s the main idea of paragraph 3? A.Extra incomes of European farmers. B.Development of soil carbon credit market. C.Popularity of greener farming methods. D.Functions of soil carbon storage companies. 4.What can be inferred about the soil carbon credit market? A.It is strictly monitored globally. B.It disturbs traditional market. C.It mainly serves large enterprises. D.It faces both support and criticism. 【答案】1.B 2.C 3.B 4.D 【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了再生农业能修复土壤、固碳减温,欧洲农户可售卖土壤碳信用增收。该市场发展迅速,但存在争议,兼具环境与经济双重效益。 1.细节理解题。根据第一段中“A growing number of farmers around Europe are turning to regenerative farming to improve soil health and earn extra income by selling soil carbon credits. (越来越多的欧洲农民开始采用再生农业,以改善土壤健康,并通过出售土壤碳信用额度来增加收入。)”可知,再生农业的目标是改善土壤健康。 2.细节理解题。根据第二段中“They stopped ploughing entirely 17 years ago and now grow grass alongside main crops. The improved soil structure allows rainwater to drain (流走) naturally and supports healthier plant growth. (17年前,他们完全停止了耕地,现在在主作物旁种植牧草。改良后的土壤结构使雨水能够自然排泄,也促进了植物更健康的生长。)”可知,关于托马斯・金特的农场,我们可以得知它多年前就已放弃传统翻耕。 3.主旨大意题。根据第三段“Companies like AgreenaCarbon specialize in measuring and confirming carbon stored in soil. Farmers receive tradable carbon credits, each representing one ton of CO₂ locked away in the soil. They can earn between £ 200 and £300 per hectare per year by selling these credits, creating a reliable extra income stream that supports their switch to greener farming methods. The soil carbon credit market is still in its early stage but expanding fast across Europe, with more than 16,000 farmers in 16 countries having joined such programmes, covering over 1.6 million hectares of land. (像AgreenaCarbon这样的公司专门负责测量和确认土壤中储存的碳。农民可以获得可交易的碳信用额度,每份信用额度代表一吨被锁定在土壤中的二氧化碳。他们每年每公顷可通过出售这些碳信用额度获得200至300英镑的收入,形成可靠的额外收入来源,从而支持其转向更环保的农业方式。土壤碳信用市场目前仍处于早期阶段,但正在欧洲快速扩展,已有16个国家超过1.6万名农民加入此类项目,覆盖面积超过160万公顷土地。)”可知,第三段先介绍碳信用的运作模式(企业核量、农民获券、出售获利),随后说明该市场尚处初期但扩张迅速,覆盖了多国大量农户与土地,核心围绕土壤碳信用市场的发展展开。 4.推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Critics warn that the voluntary carbon market risks greenwashing if projects are not strictly monitored and checked. However, supporters believe soil carbon projects bring multiple environmental and economic benefits: better soil health, higher biodiversity, less soil erosion (侵蚀) and measurable climate action. (批评者警告称,如果项目缺乏严格监督和检查,自愿碳市场可能面临“绿色漂白”风险。然而,支持者认为,土壤碳项目带来了多重环境与经济效益:改善土壤健康、提升生物多样性、减少土壤侵蚀以及实现可量化的气候行动。)”可知,关于土壤碳信用市场,我们可以推断出它同时面临支持与批评。 Passage 4 (25-26高二上·福建南平·期末)Farming has traditionally been viewed as a physically demanding job which often passed down from one generation to the next. However, this long-held stereotype is now being overturned. Today, when you ask who the next generation of farmers will be, the answer is no longer automatically “the current farmer’s son or daughter”. This shift is most visible in agricultural education. Britain’s agricultural colleges and universities, once limited to sons of the landowners, military officers and government officials, now welcome students from all walks of life. Today, young men and women are learning how to raise farm animals, grow crops and manage the land, but also taking modern courses as diverse as food security, environmental science, wildlife protection, water management, business, etc. The range of agricultural learning has never been broader. Beyond education, the definition (定义) of “farm” job has expanded dramatically — driven by global demand that the world population is predicted to grow by another two billion before 2050. Agricultural technology and innovation now covers everything from drone mechanics, robotic harvesters and intelligent software. Even tech-focused students who may never get dirt under their fingernails play a crucial role in boosting food production. Technology itself is speeding up this change: AI, for example, is already changing the farming industry. It is gathering data about soil conditions, crop health and weather systems at lightning speed to help reduce the use of chemicals, save water and predict the harvest, among many other things. In short, modern farming is no longer bound (束缚) by tradition. Whether one’s interest is in animal care, environmental science, tech or business, there’s a job in modern farming to satisfy it. As one expert noted, “The business of growing is growing.” 1.What does the underlined word “stereotype” in paragraph 1 mean? A.Fixed idea. B.Job requirement. C.Relaxing job. D.Family ambition. 2.Which can best describe present agricultural education? A.Various and broad. B.Specific and limited. C.Traditional and practical. D.Popular and affordable. 3.How does AI promote farming? A.By predicting the weather. B.By collecting and applying data. C.By replacing farmers entirely. D.By growing crops automatically. 4.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.AI: A Tool for Higher Crop Production B.Traditional Farming: Root of Agriculture C.Agricultural Education: Open to All Students D.Modern Farming: Beyond the Old Stereotype 【答案】1.A 2.A 3.B 4.D 【导语】本文介绍现代农业打破传统固有认知,在教育、岗位以及科技应用方面都迎来全新发展面貌。 1.词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“Farming has traditionally been viewed as a physically demanding job which often passed down from one generation to the next. However, this long-held stereotype is now being overturned.(传统上,农业被视为一种体力劳动强度大的工作,通常由一代传给下一代。然而,这种长期持有的stereotype现在正被推翻。)”可知,这种“代代相传的体力劳动”的看法是一种根深蒂固的固定观念,再结合“However”表转折,说明这种观念正在被改变,因此“stereotype”意为“固定观念”,与“Fixed idea”意思相近。 2.推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Today, young men and women are learning how to raise farm animals, grow crops and manage the land, but also taking modern courses as diverse as food security, environmental science, wildlife protection, water management, business, etc. The range of agricultural learning has never been broader.(今天,年轻男女不仅在学习如何饲养牲畜、种植庄稼和管理土地,还在学习从粮食安全、环境科学、野生动物保护、水资源管理到商业等多样化的现代课程。农业学习的范围从未像现在这样广泛。)”可知,当前的农业教育种类繁多且范围广阔。 3.细节理解题。根据第四段中的“It is gathering data about soil conditions, crop health and weather systems at lightning speed to help reduce the use of chemicals, save water and predict the harvest, among many other things.(它以闪电般的速度收集有关土壤状况、作物健康和天气系统的数据,以帮助减少化学品使用、节约用水和预测收成,以及其他许多事情。)”可知,人工智能通过收集和应用数据来促进农业发展。 4.主旨大意题。通读全文,文章开篇“However, this long-held stereotype is now being overturned. Today, when you ask who the next generation of farmers will be, the answer is no longer automatically “the current farmer’s son or daughter”.(然而,这种长期存在的刻板印象如今正在被打破。如今,当你问下一代农民会是谁时,答案已不再自动是“现任农民的儿子或女儿”。)”即点明主题,传统的农业观念正在被颠覆,随后介绍了教育和科技如何推动农业向现代化、多元化转变。D选项“Modern Farming: Beyond the Old Stereotype(现代农业:超越旧有的刻板印象)”最能概括全文主旨。 Passage 5 (2026·河北沧州·一模)While pesticides (杀虫剂) are common in many gardens, they’re not the only option when it comes to creating a beautiful backyard. But going organic isn’t merely about avoiding harm of pesticides. 1 Here, we explore steps to create a garden with natural interventions. Try lazy gardening Worried about leaves building up on your ground? Sweep pathways to keep them safe and clear, but leaves left to break down become natural plant nutrition and soil conditioner. 2 These multiple functions lay the foundation for a rich and healthy environment. Reframe the idea of “pests” and “weeds” The Royal Horticultural Society encourages gardeners to think of “pests” as “wildlife in the wrong place”. It reminds us that our plants can usually handle some level of damage, and the aim shouldn’t be to destroy these creatures, but to balance them to a tolerable level. 3 Most weeds are native species that provide food and shelter for wildlife. Use biological controls 4 Unlike pesticides, these natural predators (捕食者) don’t cause any damage to your plants or your health, and they can actually be more effective at targeting a specific problem. For example, got an aphid infestation (蚜虫侵害)? Introduce some beneficial insects that eat aphids. Learn to spot problems early When you can spot and identify problems early on, it’s much easier to take action. For instance, you find disease spots on the leaves of your climbing plants, and quickly cut the infected leaves off — the problem should be solved, and no treatment is required. Or your plants look weak, so you check if the water can go into the soil well, and adjust your watering schedule. 5 A.It’s about working with nature. B.Prevent weeds with organic matters. C.Going organic offers a full harvest of positives. D.They also provide safe habitats for garden creatures. E.Natural enemies can help you manage your garden ecosystem. F.This not only builds your gardening skills but also saves you money.

(当你能够尽早发现并识别问题时,采取行动就容易多了。例如,你在攀缘植物的叶子上发现了病斑,并迅速剪掉受感染的叶子——问题应该就解决了,不需要治疗。或者你的植物看起来很弱,所以你检查水是否能很好地渗入土壤,并调整你的浇水计划)”提到尽早发现并识别问题可以更容易地采取行动,F选项“这不仅提高了你的园艺技能,还为你节省了钱”总结了上文内容的好处,即提高园艺技能和节省钱,符合语境。故选F。 Passage 6 (25-26高三上·新疆·阶段检测)Organic farming has gained much attention as people grow more concerned about food safety and environmental protection. Unlike conventional farming, which relies heavily on fertilizers, and pesticides, organic farming follows strict guidelines to keep soil healthy, protect biodiversity, and avoid harmful chemicals. 1 They also help keep the environment in good condition in the long run. One important rule of organic farming is taking care of soil. Organic farmers use natural methods like growing different crops in the same area over time to stop pests from building up and makes soil more fertile. 2 The materials, made from rotted plant and animal waste, add important nutrients to soil and help good tiny organisms grow. 3 For example, organic farms are homes for wild animals such as birds, insects and small mammals. Not using man-made pesticides protects pollinators like bees. These insects are very important for plants to produce seeds. Besides, organic methods reduce water pollution. No harmful chemicals flow into rivers, lakes or underground water. Despite its benefits, organic farming has problems too. A major issue is lower yield than conventional farming. Without fertilizers to boost growth, crops produce less per acre. This lower yield makes organic food more expensive. Moreover, organic certification costs a lot and takes time, making it hard for small-scale farmers to adopt. 4 However, organic farming’s future looks promising. Advances in techniques, like natural pest control and better soil management, boost yields. 5 Governments also support it by research funding, and sustainable agriculture policies. As more recognize its benefits, organic farming will play a bigger role in global food production. A.These methods make sure food is safe and healthy. B.Organic farming works with nature to produce food. C.These challenges limit its expansion, even as demand rises. D.Organic farming also benefits biodiversity and the environment. E.Many consumers pay more for organic products for health benefits. F.Also, consumer awareness and demand for organic products grow fast. G.Another natural thing to improve soil in organic farming is farm wastes. 【答案】1.A 2.G 3.D 4.C 5.F 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了有机农业的优势、挑战以及其未来的发展前景。 1.由上文“Unlike conventional farming, which relies heavily on fertilizers, and pesticides, organic farming follows strict guidelines to keep soil healthy, protect biodiversity, and avoid harmful chemicals.(与严重依赖化肥和除害药物的传统农业不同,有机农业遵循严格的标准,以保持土壤健康,保护生物多样性,避免使用有害化学物质。)”可知,上文介绍了有机农业遵循严格的标准,本空应说明这样做的好处,A选项“These methods make sure food is safe and healthy.(这些方法确保食物安全健康。)”能承接上文,符合语境。故选A。 2.由上文“Organic farmers use natural methods like growing different crops in the same area over time to stop pests from building up and makes soil more fertile.(有机农民使用自然方法,比如在同一地区种植不同的作物,以阻止害虫的积累,使土壤更肥沃。)”以及下文“The  materials, made from rotted plant and animal waste, add important  nutrients to soil and help good tiny organisms grow.(这些材料由腐烂的动植物废物制成,为土壤添加重要的营养物质,帮助有益的微生物生长。)”可知,上文说明了有机农业保护土壤的一种自然方法,下文说明另一种自然方法,本空应引出另一种改善土壤的自然方法。G选项“Another natural thing to improve soil in organic farming is farm wastes.(有机农业中另一种改善土壤的自然方法是农场废弃物。)”能承上启下,符合语境。故选G。 3.由下文“For example, organic farms are homes for wild animals such as birds, insects and small mammals.
