Chemical pesticides and artificial fertilisers have been in widespread use in farming since the middle of the 20th century.

For example, pesticides can damage the land by killing not only harmful bacteria and insects, but also helpful 3 (one). In addition, these chemicals can stay in the soil and underground water sources for a long time. This affects the crops grown there and, in turn, the animals and humans 4 digest them. Many people worry that these chemicals may make them ill and even cause cancer. In fact, some pesticides like DDT have been prohibited in most countries because of the damage 5 (they) cause to people and the environment.
As for chemical fertilisers, crops grown with them usually grow too fast 6 (be) rich in nutrition. They may look beautiful on the outside, but inside there is usually more water than essential minerals, and they often have less flavour as well.
As an alternative, some farmers have switched to organic farming. Organic farmers focus on keeping their soil rich and free of disease through natural 7 (mean). For example, many organic farmers use natural animal waste as 8 fertiliser. This makes the soil 9 (rich) in minerals. It also keeps the air, soil, water, and crops free of chemicals.
The goal of using different organic farming methods is to grow good food while avoiding damage to the environment or to people's health. 10 (balance) the benefits and risks of both methods is essential for sustainable agriculture.
6、 阅读理解
As the global population continues to grow, ensuring food security while protecting the environment has become one of the greatest challenges of our time. The debate between chemical farming and organic farming lies at the heart of this challenge.
Chemical farming, which relies on pesticides and artificial fertilisers, has dramatically increased crop yields over the past decades. It has helped feed billions of people and kept food prices relatively low. However, the environmental costs are significant. Soil degradation, water pollution, and loss of biodiversity have become serious problems in many agricultural regions.
Organic farming, on the other hand, avoids synthetic chemicals and focuses on natural processes. It promotes soil health, protects water quality, and preserves ecosystems. Studies have shown that organic crops often contain higher levels of certain nutrients and antioxidants. Nevertheless, organic farming typically produces lower yields and requires more land and labour. Critics argue that if all farming were organic, we would need much more farmland to produce the same amount of food, potentially leading to deforestation.
Many experts now believe that the solution lies not in choosing one approach over the other, but in combining the best aspects of both. This integrated approach, sometimes called "sustainable intensification", aims to increase yields while minimising environmental damage. Precision agriculture, which uses technology to apply water and fertilisers exactly where needed, is one example of this balanced approach.
Ultimately, feeding the world sustainably will require innovation, international cooperation, and a willingness to adopt new methods. As consumers, we can also play a role by reducing food waste and making informed choices about what we eat.

A.It protects biodiversity effectively.
B.It requires less land than organic farming.

2.What does the passage say about organic farming?
A.It often contains higher levels of certain nutrients.
B.It always costs less than chemical farming.
C.It produces higher yields than chemical farming.
D.It has no environmental impact at all.
3.What can we infer from the passage about the future of agriculture?
A.Chemical farming will completely replace organic farming.
B.Organic farming alone can solve the world's food problems.
C.A balanced approach may be the most practical solution.
D.Consumers have no role to play in sustainable agriculture.

How to Make Informed Food Choices
In today's world, we are faced with countless food choices every day. From organic vegetables to conventionally grown fruits, from locally sourced meat to imported seafood, the options can be overwhelming. 1 . Here are some guidelines to help you make better decisions.
2 .
When possible, choose foods that are grown or produced near where you live. Local foods are often fresher because they don't have to travel long distances. They also support local farmers and reduce the carbon footprint associated with transportation.
Understand food labels
Food packaging is full of claims like "natural", "organic", and "chemical-free". 3 . For example, "organic" means the food was grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, while "natural" has no strict legal definition in many countries. Learning what these terms actually mean can help you avoid misleading marketing.
Consider nutritional value
Don't be fooled by appearance alone. Some foods that look perfect on the outside may lack essential nutrients. 4 . For instance, organically grown tomatoes often contain higher levels of vitamin C and antioxidants than conventionally grown ones. Read nutritional information and ingredient lists carefully.
Reduce food waste
One of the most impactful food choices you can make is to waste less. Plan your meals, store food properly, and find creative ways to use leftovers. 5 . By being mindful of waste, you save money and help protect the environment at the same time.
A.Buy local whenever possible
B.Not all of these claims mean what you think
C.It is important to understand where your food comes from
D.This is good for both your wallet and the planet
E.Choosing healthy food is not always easy
F.Research shows that growing methods affect nutrient content
G.Every small choice adds up to a big difference

【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国美食——小笼包,讲述了小笼包美味,发源地以及制作方法等等。
1. tasty考查形容词。句意:小笼包(汤包),那些精致的饺子皮,包裹着热腾腾的美味汤和甜甜的鲜肉,是我最喜欢的中国街头小吃。形容词需修饰后面的名词soup(汤),故空格需用tasty“美味的”作定语,故填tasty。
2. to bite考查非谓语动词。句意:吃小笼包的时候,你必须要决定是先咬一个小口流出汤汁,还是把整个小笼包放进嘴里,让热汤在舌头上爆炸。decide to do sth.“决定做某事”,用不定式作宾语,空处与后面to put并列作宾语,故填to bite。
3.or考查连词。句意:吃小笼包的时候,你必须要决定是先咬一个小口流出汤汁,还是把整个小笼包放进嘴里,让热汤在舌头上爆炸。whether...or... “是……还是……”,固定搭配,根据句意,故填or。
4. recognized考查非谓语动词。句意:上海可能是公认的小笼包之乡,但美食历史学家会告诉你,邻近的运河小镇南翔才是小笼包的发源地。空格在名词home前面作定语,recognize与home是逻辑上动宾关系,需填过去分词recognized作定语,recognized“被公认的”也可以看作是形容词作定语。故填recognized。
5. by考查介词。句意:在那里,你会发现它们的制作方式不同——更多汤包,更少的汤,包子皮是用手压的,而不是擀出来的。by hand“用手”是固定搭配,根据句意,故填by。
6.to be lifted考查非谓语动词。句意:除了南翔,最好的小笼包有一个精致的,可以让它们从蒸笼篮中拿出来,而不会撕裂或溢出里面的东西。根据搭配allow sb. to do sth.“允许某人做某事”可知,空格需用动词不定式作宾语补足语,补足语lift out与宾语them(指代小笼包)是逻辑上的动宾关系,空格需填动词不定式的被动式to be lifted。故填to be lifted。
7. their考查代词。句意:除了南翔,最好的小笼包有一个精致的外皮,可以让它们从蒸笼篮中拿出来,而不会撕裂或溢出里面的东西。修饰后面的名词contents(东西)需用形容词性物主代词their。故填their。
8. a考查冠词。句意:肉应该是新鲜的,有一点甜味,汤应该是热的,清澈的,美味的。a touch of “一点点;稍许”,常用搭配,touch“轻微;稍许”常用作单数。故填a。
9. rarely考查副词。句意:无论我在哪里买,一蒸笼都不够,而两蒸笼又显得太贪心了,所以我总是想下次再买。修饰形容词用副词作状语,rarely“少有”,故填rarely。
10. wanting考查非谓语动词。句意:无论我在哪里买,一蒸笼都不够,而两蒸笼又显得太贪心了,所以我总是想下次再买。分析句子可知,此处考查“leave sb+宾语补足语”,本句是被动语态,want是主语补足语,根据句意,I与want之间是主动的逻辑关系,用现在分词wanting。故填wanting。
