AThe rich agricultural resources. BThe intensive cultivation. CThe capacity of grain production. DThe strategy of balanced development. 答案B 解析细节理解题。从第一段第二句可知中国传统农业的精耕细作是人类文明所取得的重大成就之一。3What policy do you think is the most important? APromoting faster increase of farmers income. BProtecting the capacity of grain production. CPromoting strategic restructuring of agriculture. DContinuing to deepen rural reforms. 答案A 解析推理判断题。从第二段所列的七项优先发展的问题中，最重要的应该放在第一位，因此应该是第一条，即“Firstly well promote faster increase of farmers income. ” ，故选 A项。4Whats the best title of the passage? AChinas agricultural resources BChinas agriculture seven aspects CReform of China s agriculture DAgriculture in China 答案D 解析标题归纳题。整篇文章都是在介绍中国的农业，因此标题用中国的农业最合适。B When you hear the word “farm” ，chances are your picture of rolling hills in the country covered with cows and corn.But some scientists，engineers and city planners say the farms of the future could be indoors inside skyscrapers(摩天大楼 ) in the world s most populated cities. It might sound crazy ，but in fact ，some of the technology for growing crops indoors already exists.The National Aeronautics and Space Administration(NASA)，has been 名师资料总结 - - -精品资料欢迎下载 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 名师精心整理 - - - - - - - 第 2 页，共 13 页 - - - - - - - - - 3 experimenting for years with methods for growing fresh fruits and vegetables on the moon or even on Mars. Bringing farming indoors solves a number of problems.First，traditional farming takes up a lot of land.By the year 2050，the world population will grow by another three billion.As populations grow，the land available for farming decreases.Governments are now wondering where we will grow the food for all these people.Despommier ， an ecologist at Columbia University， and his colleagues say “vertical farming” growing crops in skyscrapers tens of stories highis the answer. Cities that grow their own food also would become more selfreliant and no longer be at risk of natural disasters，weather instability(不稳定 ) or insect pests(害虫) “You can control everything indoors.You cant control anything outdoors.”Despommier says. Vertical farms dont exist yet.Their supporters say a welldesigned vertical farm could be selfreliant，able to recycle water ，compost( 将做成混合肥) crop waste，and use gases given off in the process to heat the building.Even the waste of the livestock(牲畜 ) living in the building could be recycled as a source of energy. But some believe making the move to vertical farming will not be so easy. “I would say it is going to be tough， ” says Gene Giacomelli，who heads up the Controlled Environment Agriculture Center at the University of Arizona in Tucson. It can be tricky to regulate climate conditions indoors，he says.Keeping the correct balance of humidity(湿度 ) can be especially challenging and plants have different weather and lighting requirements.Tomatoes like warm，sunny weather ，while greens like lettuce prefer cooler temperatures.And nearly all crop plants require lots of sunlight. Copying sunlight is challenging， but scientists are learning how to make artificial lights that produce the colors ， or wavelengths ，of light，especially red and blue ，that crop plants need.Still，artificial，electric lights present their own challenges.Overhead lights are inefficient，but more efficient(高效能的 ) lighting systems are still too expensive for widespread use. That s not to say these challenges wont be overcome，but it will take time.Most experts suggest it would be anywhere between five and fifteen years before the first vertical farms could be created. 5What does the passage mainly talk about? 名师资料总结 - - -精品资料欢迎下载 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 名师精心整理 - - - - - - - 第 3 页，共 13 页 - - - - - - - - - 4 AThe ways to solve the food problem of the world. BA new farming technology“vertical farming” CThe main problems “vertical farming” is facing. DThe advantages “vertical farming” will bring us. 答案B 解析主旨大意题。文章主要从垂直农业的优点、面临的问题、前景等几个方面展开叙述。所以此题答案为B项。C和 D两项只谈及了垂直农业的某一个方面，不够全面。 A项与文章无关。6To the future of “vertical farming” ，the author is according to the passage. Adoubtful Bpessimistic Coptimistic Dproud 答案C 解析推理判断题。文章介绍了垂直农业的优点以及它所面临的一些技术难题。从文章最后一段中更能看出作者对于垂直农业前景持乐观态度：尽管困难很大，但并非不能被克服。假以时日，这些问题都能被一一解决。故应选C项。7Which of the following descriptions does NOT fit a welldesigned vertical farm? AThe water in it can be recycled and the crop waste can be composted. BWaste of the livestock can be recycled as a source of energy. CThe buildings in which a vertical farm lies should look beautiful. DThe gases given off in the process can be used to heat the building. 答案C 解析细节理解题。 在文章的第五段可找到A、B、D三个选项的依据。而 C项文章并未提及，故此题答案应为C项。8The following are the benefits of “indoors farming”EXCEPT that . A “indoors farming”can help people to save a lot of land Bcrops can be protected from the harm of natural disaster Ccrops will be free from the damage caused by insect pests D “indoors farming” can help people save a lot of money 答案D 解析细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段可知，尽管垂直农业所面临的一些问题可能会被解决，但文中举了灯光的例子用来说明解决这些问题需要大量的费用。所以垂直农业目前不但不能帮助人们节省钱，反而可能增加费用。故应选D项。C 名师资料总结 - - -精品资料欢迎下载 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 名师精心整理 - - - - - - - 第 4 页，共 13 页 - - - - - - - - - 5 A couple of years ago，in 2008，I got laid off from a decent job at a car dealer.I was with two children.Then I started collecting coupons(优惠券 ) It was like going back to my early days，when money was tight，and I clipped coupons to save money.Being a single mom is very difficult，especially，with a little or an uncertain child to support. I wanted to do something where I would always have a job regardless of the economy.I have heard from many people that women s beauty salons are almost recession resistant(抗衰退 ) ， where women would continue to spend money to look and feel better.So I decided to give that a try and went to a beauty school for a few months. Luckily，I like that kind of work.Getting into this work actually enabled me to see the other side of things.I learned to give great customer service.Whatever things I complained about when I was a customer，I was able to look at those problems，and made sure they did not happen.Later I was promptly hired at a local beauty place. I am doing well ，and making good money.The economy did cause our store s income to drop a little，but we didnt have to shut down.All of our coworkers agreed to take a small pay cut so we could stay in business.When the economy improves and people start spending again，I am sure our business will do even better. My message is dont get discouraged if you get laid off.Look around for other opportunities.God shuts one door but he opens another，you know. 9Why did the writer begin to collect coupons?

Afeels a strong sense of responsibility Bthinks it unwise to always complain Chas an idea about how to judge customers Dused to make complaints against bad service 答案A 解析推理判断题。由第三段中的“.I was able to look at those problems，and made sure they did not happen.”可知，作者是个责任感很强的人，对待顾客服务很到位。12The author writes this passage to . Aprove that God is fair Binspire hope in the unemployed Cattract more women to womens beauty salons Dshow that those who work hard win the world 答案B 解析写作意图题。由文章最后一段可推测出，作者讲述自己的故事，旨在燃起失业人们的希望之火。D The Cambridge Science Festival Curiosity Challenge Dare to Take the Curiosity Challenge!
