Some soils arent good for planting some trees. 2 Itll help you determine the kind of fertilizers (肥料) necessary for the tree.  Digging too deep or too narrow a hole is also a mistake we tend to make while planting a tree. If the hole is dug too deep, the roots dont get enough oxygen supply, resulting in improper growth of the tree. Besides, a narrow hole wont allow the roots to expand and support the tree firmly. 3 Ideally (理想地), the planting hole for a tree should be twice as wide and deep as the root ball.  To protect the roots of a tree, we need to put a mulch (护根) on them. First of all, its really important to select the right type of mulch. 4 In addition, we must use a proper amount of mulching. Over mulching may cause damage to the roots, while inadequate mulching may result in dryness around the roots.  5 Walk around the trees to recognize the problems that have appeared, and fix them before they go out of control.  A. Different species require different planting places. B. Most newly planted trees die because of too much water. C. However, there are some mistakes we often make while planting trees. D. We should make our choice based on the plant species and the type of soil. E. So having a soil test before deciding on the planting place would be wiser. F. The most important thing is to monitor the growth of the tree on a regular basis. G. This may weaken the tree and its ability to stand up to unfavorable weather conditions. 一、单词拼写1.production2.published 3.Agriculture4.quality5.support 6.leading7.educated8.breakthrough 二、单句语法填空1.leading2.to3.up4.education5.of6.for三、阅读理解1.C。推理判断题。根据前两段可知, 两万网民提议, 袁隆平应当是下一年的诺贝尔和平奖的得主。由此可知袁隆平深受许多网民的欢迎。2.C。综合理解题。根据第三、四段可知, 选项A、B、D表述正确, 选项C未提及, 故错误。3.A。词义猜测题。根据这一段的意思可知qualified应该表示“有资格的; 合格的”。四、阅读填句1.
