Located in the heart of a mountain village in China’s Guizhou Province,there is a unique ecological family farm.It is run by Kevin Cillen,a 28-year-old Belgian who is passionate about the land.With his parents and siblings(兄弟姐妹),they have combined Western farming techniques with local countryside practices to create an “ecological oasis”.
The family’s pursuit of their farming dream in China began in 2000,when Kevin’s mother Hetty Cillen visited China as a volunteer for the first time.The attractive landscapes and rich cultural heritage of Guizhou fascinated her,causing her to make this foreign country her home.Soon after,his father Patrick Jan Cillen joined her.The family began their journey in 2017 by renting a plot of forest land for their eco-farm.They started by getting it ready—they leveled the land,grew food for the animals,and began raising lambs and chicks.
The locals have openly embraced the foreigners,inviting them to festivities and celebrating traditional Chinese holidays together.In 2018,Yang Chengkai,a 34-year-old villager,befriended the family,often assisting them on the farm.“The community has embraced this family.Even the vendors(小贩) at the local market contribute by giving them free vegetables to feed their animals.” Yang says.
The family farm,hidden in the forest,is a great example of Guizhou’s eco-friendly development.To protect the environment,they grow different types of grass for animal feed,use solar panels for electricity,and collect rainwater for their water supply.

The world said farewell to a true pioneer with the passing of Dr.Jane Goodall in 2025.Her journey,from a self-funded young woman with a dream to a globally influential figure,not only demonstrates the power of passion and perseverance,but also inspires generations to pursue change with empathy and courage.
With no formal scientific training,Goodall began her work in the forests of Gombe,Tanzania.Her approach—associating so closely with the animals she studied,naming them and even referring to them as “my friends”—was then considered unorthodox by many in the scientific community.Despite facing doubt,her patience was rewarded with a series of discoveries that astonished the world.
In 1960,she witnessed chimpanzees eating bushpigs,overturning the long-held belief that they were strict vegetarians.That same year,she saw chimps digging termites(白蚁) out of a hill with a stick,which forced experts to abandon the assumption that tool use was a uniquely human skill.Later,she documented not only acts of aggression—intergroup warfare and even cannibalism(同类相食)—but also gestures of affection such as play,grief and care.Sometimes,they even accepted her as one of their own.
As her understanding of chimpanzees grew,so did her sense of responsibility.Driven by the growing threats to chimpanzees and their habitats,Goodall transitioned from a quiet observer to a tireless global advocate.She founded the Jane Goodall Institute and launched the “Roots & Shoots” program,which has since empowered millions of young people worldwide to engage in environmental projects.“What you do makes a difference,and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make,” she often stated,emphasizing individual responsibility.
Goodall’s legacy is not merely in her discoveries,but in her unbeatable spirit.She showed that profound change begins with a single,determined individual.Her life stands as a lasting proof of the idea that curiosity,when paired with action,can reshape our world.
5.What does the underlined word “unorthodox” in paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A.Unconventional. B.Efficient.
C.Authoritative. D.Outdated.
6.What major breakthrough did Goodall make about chimpanzees in 1960?
A.They maintain a pure vegetarian diet.
B.They often engage in community violence.
C.They could use objects as tools to obtain food.
D.They were as intelligent as humans in employing tools.
7.What can be inferred about Jane Goodall according to paragraph 4?
A.She sought global recognition for her environmental projects.
B.She believed that collective efforts outweigh individual actions.
C.She inspired youngsters to contribute to a more sustainable world.
D.She focused mainly on developing observation methods for chimpanzees.
8.Which of the following best describes Jane Goodall?
A.Innovative and generous.
B.Academic and demanding.
C.Committed and transformative.
D.Indifferent and pioneering.
C
The farms of the future may look very different from those 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
(2026河南郑州十校联考高二期中)
Think back to the last time you shopped for fruits and vegetables.You may have noticed some items labelled with the word “organic”. 1
“Organic” refers to the way food is grown.To be labelled as organic,food production must meet strict guidelines.These can be different depending on where you live.In the United States,organic food must be grown or raised without using pesticides or chemical fertilizers.
2 That changed after the Industrial Revolution.During the 20th century,many ideas that were used by factories and big businesses were put into action on farms.This helped some farms grow larger and produce more.
The organic movement was started to get back to the old traditional ways of farming.Why?Many believe the chemicals and pesticides used in modern farming can be harmful to your health. 3 And those who support the organic movement also point to its benefits for the environment.
Have you ever compared organic and non-organic food at the grocery store?If so,you know that organic food tends to cost more.This happens for many reasons.Organic farming produces fewer crops. 4 Additionally,organic farms spend more money taking care of the animals they raise.These and other factors drive the cost of organic food up.
Is organic food worth the extra cost?Some people believe it is.They may think it tastes better or just prefer to eat food that has not been grown using chemicals. 5 They are still trying to find a major difference between organic and non-organic food in terms of safety,nutrition,or taste.Still,others argue that the environmental benefits of organic food make it worth the price.
A.Have you ever wondered what that means?
B.The cost of production is also usually higher.
C.For most of history,almost all food was organic.
D.Many people are willing to pay more for organic food.
E.Some also think organic food is naturally more nutritious.
F.Are you wondering if organic food is right for you?
G.Scientists have studied organic and non-organic food for many years now.
