四、进阶训练
三个任务:阅读理解练读懂,语法填空练运用,句型翻译练输出。根据自己的水平选做。
任务一:阅读理解
阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
Organic farming has been gaining popularity in recent years as people become more concerned about the impact of chemical agriculture on the environment and human health. Unlike conventional farming, which relies heavily on chemical fertilizers and pesticides, organic farming uses natural methods such as crop rotation, composting, and biological pest control to grow crops.
However, organic farming also faces significant challenges. One major issue is lower crop yields compared to conventional farming. Studies show that organic farms typically produce 10 to 20 percent less food than conventional farms. This is partly because organic farmers cannot use synthetic fertilizers to boost growth quickly, and partly because pests and weeds can cause more damage without chemical pesticides.
Another challenge is the higher cost of organic food. Because organic farming requires more labor and has lower yields, organic products often cost 20 to 100 percent more than conventional products. This makes organic food less accessible to low-income families, who may not be able to afford the higher prices.
Despite these challenges, many experts believe that organic farming has an important role to play in the future of agriculture. They argue that a combination of organic and conventional methods, known as "integrated farming," may be the best approach. This way, farmers can reduce chemical use while still maintaining high enough yields to feed the growing population.
1. What is the main difference between organic farming and conventional farming?
A. Organic farming produces more food than conventional farming.
B. Organic farming uses natural methods while conventional farming uses chemicals.
C. Organic farming is more popular than conventional farming worldwide.
D. Organic farming costs less than conventional farming.
2. According to the passage, what is one major challenge of organic farming?
A. It requires more land than conventional farming.
B. It uses too much water compared to conventional farming.
C. It produces less food than conventional farming.
D. It is more difficult to learn than conventional farming.
3. Why is organic food often more expensive?
A. Because organic farmers want to make more money.
B. Because organic farming requires more labor and has lower yields.
C. Because organic food is transported over longer distances.
D. Because organic farming uses more expensive equipment.
4. What solution do many experts suggest for the future of agriculture?
A. Completely replacing conventional farming with organic farming.
B. Continuing to use only conventional farming methods.
C. Combining organic and conventional methods in integrated farming.
D. Developing completely new farming methods unrelated to either.
任务二:语法填空

参考范文:
My Weekend on the Farm
Last weekend, as scheduled, I went to a modern organic farm called Green Harvest with several classmates. The farm, which is devoted to growing pollution-free vegetables and fruits, has become a popular destination for school trips in our city.
The farm is comprised of three sections: a vegetable garden, a fruit orchard, and a greenhouse. We spent the morning picking fresh strawberries and tomatoes in the greenhouse, and the afternoon learning about crop rotation and natural pest control from the farm manager. He explained how they avoid chemical fertilizers by using compost and beneficial insects.
What this activity has given me is not only the pleasure of picking fresh fruit, but also a deeper understanding of where our food comes from. It has raised my awareness of the hard work behind every meal and the importance of supporting sustainable agriculture.
