①滴灌和水培农业
【题目】
Agriculture has come a long way from its ancient beginnings. Long ago, farmers would work hard on their individual plots of land, using simple tools or even their bare hands. They tended to their crops for many hours each day so that the crops
while a summer of good weather could ensure a good harvest.
Modern science and technology have helped to greatly reduce the back-breaking labour involved in farming, along with the reliance on luck and guesswork. ____2____ Probably one of the most beneficial innovations is drip irrigation, which has made it possible to develop big, green farms in the middle of the dert. Simcha Blass, an Israeli scientist, discovered this new way of irrigation in the 193
0s. Through this discovery, farmers can now produce crops on dry land without needing much water. ____3____ The limited and focud u of just the right amount of water also denies moisture (水分) to weeds, keeping them from harming the crops.
____4____ However, what if an area has plenty of water, but little usable soil? As it turns out, it is possible to grow plants without using soil at all. With hydroponics (水培), plant roots are supported by rocks or a fiber mat. Nutrient-rich water is then provided so that the plants can grow. Recent rearch has centered on vertical hydroponics farming. With a vertical farm, the crops are planted in containers that are piled into plant skyscrapers. ____5____
pour it upWith such technological advances, the image of a farmer pushing a plough will eventually become a thing of the past.出国行李清单

拒绝平庸【答案&解析】
【答案】1．A 2．G 3．E 4．C 5．F
1．上文“They tended to their crops for many hours each day so that the crops grew well.(他们每天花好几个小时照料庄稼，以便庄稼长得好。)”指出农民们为了庄稼长得好，每天要花好几个小时照料庄稼，下文“For example, a single storm could destroy a whole year’s work, while a summer of good weather could ensure a good harvest.(例如，一场暴风雨可以毁掉一整年的工作，而一个好天气的夏天可以保证丰收。)”以具体例子说明，突发天气状况会影响收成，由此可推知，空处应该是指出古代农业收成好坏也靠运气，A项“Luck played a great part in farming.(运气在农业中起了很大的作用。)”符合，故选A。
2．上文“Modern science and technology have helped to greatly reduce the back-breaking labour involved in farming, along with the reliance on luck and guesswork.(现代科学技术大大减少了农业劳动的负担，同时也减少了对运气和猜测的依赖。)”指出现代科技给农业带来的好处，空处也应该承接
上文，继续描写现代科技给农业带来的好处，G项“Farmers have benefited greatly from innovations in crop production.(农民从农作物生产的创新中获益匪浅。)”符合，故选G。signcomplex

3．上文“Through this discovery, farmers can now produce crops on dry land without needing much water.(通过这一发现，农民现在可以在旱地上种植作物，而不需要太多的水。)”指出滴灌的优点，农民不仅可以旱地上种植，而且不需要太多水，下文“The limited and focud u of just the right amount of water also denies moisture (水分) to weeds, keeping them from harming the
crops.(有限而集中地使用恰到好处的水量也会使杂草失去水分，从而防止它们损害庄稼。)”指出滴灌使用有限而集中的水对农业的好处，由此可知，空处应承接上文，继续描写滴灌用水少这一优点，E项“This irrigation method us far less water than other methods.(这种灌溉方法比其他方法用水少得多。)”符合，故选E。
4．由下文“However, what if an area has plenty of water, but little usable soil? As it turns out, it is possible to grow plants without using soil at all. With hydroponics (水培), plant roots are supported by rocks or a fiber mat. Nutrient-rich water is then provided so that the plants can grow(但是，如果一个地区有足够的水，但是可用的土壤很少呢？事实证明，不用土壤也能种植植物。通过水培，植物的根部由岩石或纤维垫支撑。然后提供营养丰富的水，这样植物就可以生长。)”的however可知，空处和
paparazzi
下文是对比关系，且结合上段提到用水少的滴灌可知，空处应该是对上文进行总结，同时和下文进行对比，即用滴灌能解决缺水地区的农业问题和水培能解决水多地区的问题做对比，C项“Drip irrigation deals with a lack of water in an area.(滴灌解决了一个地区缺水的问题。)”符合，故选C。
5．上文“Recent rearch has centered on vertical hydroponics farming. With a vertical farm, the crops are planted in containers that are piled into plant skyscrapers. (最近的研究集中在垂直水培农业上。在垂直农场中，农作物被种植在集装箱中，集装箱堆成了摩天大楼。)”提出最近的研究都在垂直水培农业上，同时描述了垂直水培农作物的一些情况，空处应该继续描写垂直水培农作物的一些相关内容，F项“Furthermore, nearly all hydroponic farms partially or fully automated.(此外，几乎所有的水培农场都部分或全部自动化。)”符合语境，故选F。
