6、 阅读理解
Food security is one of the most pressing challenges facing the world today. With the global population expected to reach nearly 10 billion by 2050, the demand for food will increase dramatically. However, climate change, water scarcity, and the loss of arable land are making it harder to grow enough food.
Agricultural scientists are working on various solutions to this problem. One approach is to develop crop varieties that can withstand extreme weather conditions, such as drought-resistant rice and heat-tolerant wheat. Another strategy is to improve farming techniques. For example, precision agriculture uses technology like drones and sensors to monitor crops and apply water and fertilizers exactly where they are needed, reducing waste and increasing yields.
Vertical farming is also gaining attention. By growing crops in stacked layers indoors, often in urban areas, vertical farms can produce food year-round while using less water and no pesticides. Although the initial costs are high, many experts believe this method could play an important role in future food production.
International cooperation is essential. Countries must share knowledge, technology, and resources to ensure that no one is left behind. As Yuan Longping once said, "My lifelong pursuit is to keep all the people away from hunger." His words remind us that achieving food security requires not only scientific innovation but also a deep sense of responsibility towards humanity.

B.A system of sharing resources between countries.
C.A traditional way of planting rice.
D.A technique that uses technology to improve farming efficiency.
3.What does the author imply about achieving food security?
A.It can be achieved by a single country alone.
B.It is impossible to achieve by 2050.

4.What is the best title for the passage?
A.The History of Modern Agriculture

How to Cultivate a Scientific Spirit
Scientific spirit is the foundation of all great discoveries. It drives scientists to explore the unknown and push the boundaries of human knowledge. 1 . Here are some ways to cultivate it.
2 . Science begins with a question. Never accept things at face value. When Yuan Longping saw farmers struggling with poor harvests, he did not simply accept it as fate. Instead, he asked, "How can we grow more rice?" This simple question led to one of the greatest agricultural breakthroughs in history.
Embrace failure as part of the process
Scientific research is rarely smooth sailing. 3 . Every failed experiment brings you one step closer to the truth. The key is to analyse what went wrong and try again with a modified approach.
Maintain intellectual honesty
A true scientist never manipulates data or hides unfavourable results. 4 . If your hypothesis is proven wrong, admit it openly and learn from it. Intellectual honesty builds trust and credibility in the scientific community.
Keep an open mind
New discoveries often challenge existing beliefs. 5 . Be willing to consider alternative explanations and update your understanding when presented with solid evidence. Rigidity of thinking is the enemy of scientific progress.
A.Curiosity fuels discovery
B.They view each failure as a valuable lesson
C.It requires dedication, honesty, and an open mind
D.You should always let the evidence speak for itself
E.Be prepared to have your assumptions challenged
F.It is important to follow established procedures strictly
G.What matters most is the speed of obtaining results
【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何培养科学精神的几个方法。

2.A 此空为段落标题。由下文"Science begins with a question. Never accept things at face value."可知,本段主要讲的是好奇心对科学发现的重要性。A选项"Curiosity fuels discovery"能够概括本段内容,作为标题合适。故选A。
3.B 由上文"Scientific research is rarely smooth sailing."可知,上文提到科学研究很少一帆风顺。本空应进一步说明如何看待失败。B选项"They view each failure as a valuable lesson"说明了把每次失败视为宝贵的教训,能承接上文,符合题意。故选B。
4.D 由上文"A true scientist never manipulates data or hides unfavourable results."可知,上文提到真正的科学家从不操纵数据或隐瞒不利结果。本空应进一步说明要让证据说话。D选项"You should always let the evidence speak for itself"说明了应该让证据自己说话,能承接上文,符合题意。故选D。
5.E 由上文"New discoveries often challenge existing beliefs."可知,上文提到新发现常常挑战现有信念。本空应进一步说明要做好准备。E选项"Be prepared to have your assumptions challenged"说明了要准备好让自己的假设受到挑战,能承接上文,符合题意。故选E

Tricks To Becoming A Patient Person
Here’s a riddle: What do traffic jams, long lines and waiting for a vacation to start all have in common? There is one answer. ___1___.
In the Digital Age, we’re used to having what we need immediately and right at our fingertips. However, research suggests that if we practiced patience, we’d be a whole lot better off. Here are several tricks.
●Practice gratitude (感激)
Thankfulness has a lot of benefits: Research shows it makes us happier, less stressed and even more optimistic. ___2__. “Showing thankfulness can foster self-control,” said Ye Li, researcher at the University of California.
● Make yourself wait
Instant gratification (满足) may seem like the most “feel good” option at the time, but psychology research suggests waiting for things actually makes us happier in the long run. And the only way for us to get into the habit of waiting is to practice. ___3___. Put off watching your favorite show until the weekend or wait 10 extra minutes before going for that cake. You’ll soon find that the more patience you practice, the more you start to apply it to other, more annoying situations.
● ___4___.
So many of us have the belief that being comfortable is the only state we will tolerate, and when we experience something outside of our comfort zone, we get impatient about the circumstances. You should learn to say to yourself, “___5___.” You’ll then gradually become more patient.
A. Find your causes
B. Start with small tasks
C. Accept the uncomfortable
D. All this adds up to a state of hurry
E. It can also help us practice more patience
F. This is merely uncomfortable, not intolerable
G. They’re all situations where we could use a little extra patience

1.G 根据上文“Here’s a riddle: What do traffic jams, long lines and waiting for a vacation to start all have in common? There’s one answer. (这里有一个谜语:交通堵塞、排长队和等待假期开始有什么共同之处?答案只有一个)”可知,本句说明上文谜语的答案,结合“交通堵塞、排长队和等待假期”这些情况可知都需要耐心。故G选项“在这些情况下,我们都需要一点额外的耐心”符合语境,故选G。
2.E 根据上文“Thankfulness has a lot of benefits: Research shows it makes us happier, less stressed and even more optimistic.(感恩有很多好处:研究表明,感恩让我们更快乐,压力更小,甚至更乐观)”以及后文““Showing thankfulness can foster self-control,” said Ye Li, researcher at the University of California. (加州大学的研究员叶丽说:“表达感激可以培养自我控制能力。”)”可知,上文提到了感恩的诸多好处,可知本句继续说明感恩的好处:它还可以帮助我们练习更多的耐心。E选项中It指代上文Thankfulness。故E选项“它还可以帮助我们练习更多的耐心”符合语境,故选E。
3.B 根据上文“And the only way for us to get into the habit of waiting is to practice. (我们养成等待习惯的唯一方法就是练习)”以及后文“Put off watching your favorite show until the weekend or wait 10 extra minutes before going for that cake. (把你最喜欢的节目推迟到周末再看,或者多等10分钟再去吃蛋糕)”可知,后文列举的事情都是日常的小事,说明要从小事开始练习等待,故B选项“从小任务开始”符合语境,故选B。
4.C 根据本段内容“So many of us have the belief that being comfortable is the only state we will tolerate, and when we experience something outside of our comfort zone, we get impatient about the circumstances. (我们中的许多人都认为舒适是我们唯一能容忍的状态,当我们经历舒适区之外的事情时,我们会对环境失去耐心)”可知,本段提到了舒适是我们唯一能容忍的状态,结合前文的小标题都是祈使句可知,本段的主旨与接受不舒适相关,C选项中uncomfortable对【40题详解】根据上文“You should learn to say to yourself (你应该学会对自己说……)”以及后文“You’ll then gradually become more patient. (然后你会逐渐变得更有耐心)”结合本段主要说明的是不舒服的状态,可知,本句为对自己所说的话与接受不舒服相关,故F选项“这仅仅是不舒服,而不是无法忍受”符合语境,故选F。应后文comfortable。故C选项“接受不舒服”符合语境,故选C。
5.F 根据上文“You should learn to say to yourself (你应该学会对自己说……)”以及后文“You’ll then gradually become more patient. (然后你会逐渐变得更有耐心)”结合本段主要说明的是不舒服的状态,可知,本句为对自己所说的话与接受不舒服相关,故F选项“这仅仅是不舒服,而不是无法忍受”符合语境,故选F。
