Unit 2 Working the land Period 1 Warming Up & Reading课后阅读作业Ⅰ. 阅读理解A“Eat local. ”It’s one way to reduce human effect on the planet. Eatinglocal means to try to buy and consume foods that are grown in places close tohome. However, most of the food sold at supermarkets is not locally grown orproduced. Trucks and planes deliver these foods from hundreds or thousands ofmiles away. During the transportation, greenhouse(温室)gases are produced, causing global warming. So the shorter the distance your foods must travel, the less the harm is done to the environment.But how do you get local food if you live in a large city, hundreds of miles away from farms? Environmental health scientist Dickson Despommier and his students came up with the idea of a“vert ical(垂直的)farm”.A vertical farm is a glass-walled structure that could be built as tall as a skyscraper(摩天大楼). Since the garden is built upwards, rather than outwards, it requires much less space than an ordinary farm. The world is quickly running out of room for ordinary farming. Vertical farms could be a key to this situation. Despommier imagines a 30-story building with a greenhouse on every floor. The walls of the building would be clear, to allow crops to get as much sunlight as possible. Depending on a city’s water resources, Despommier thinks hydroponic(水培的)farming is another method for the vertical farm which needs no soil to grow plants.Despommier says the hydroponic greenhouses would use a system that would use a city’s waste water and fill it with nutrition to make the crops grow. If this method works, it would provide food to a city and save millions of tons of water.The idea of a vertical farm has attracted the attention of government officials around the world. Scott Stringer, a government official from New York City, thinks the city is suitable for the vertical farming. “Obviously we don’t have much land left for us, ”Stringer said. “But the sky is the limit in Manhattan. ”Despommier admits that there is still a lot of work to do to make vertical farms a reality. “But I think vertical farming is an idea that can work in a big way, ”he says.【语篇概述】本文向大家介绍了一种新的种植方式——垂直农场。

Unit 2 Working the land随着社会变迁和时代发展，农业会向哪个方向发展呢？The Future of Farming,More and more people around the world areliving in urban areas, and the need for highquality fresh food is rising.At the same time,new homes, apartment buildings, shopping centers and roads are replacing fertile land near cities.That makes growing crops in tall buildings an interesting solution.In Dallas, Texas, a company called Green Habitat Hydroponics(GHH), sells vertical farming supplies(垂直农业用品)．“You can control anything and everything you want to with hydroponics (the process of growing plants in sand, small stones, or water with added nutrients but no soil)，”Kris Maxwell, a sales employee at GHH said.“For example, certain plants need certain nutrients and pH levels.But don’t worry.You can change the hydroponic solution(溶液) by adding or taking away nutrients, or by changing the pH level, or even by controlling the amount of a water in solution, sothat plants get all the nutrients and water requirements they need.There are even different solutions for certain stages in the plant’s growth.”In this indoor environment, LED lights, which are environmentally friendly, take the place of the sun.Heaters, coolers, and special machines control the temperature and humidity(湿度)．Up to 300 plants can grow in one container unit.GHH also sells aeroponic systems.With this system, plants are placed in huge containers where only the roots are put in a solution.Nutrientrich wastes from fish, for example, are filtered(过滤) and sent through the system.“The good thing about this method is that no fertilizers have to be used because the fish produce all of the necessary nutrients，” Maxwell said.“Another advantage of vertical farming is that no insects or other pests will damage your crops.”What do you think？Does vertical farming have a bright future？Section ⅠWarming Up & Reading—Comprehending 重点单词写作词汇1.struggle vi.& n. 斗争；拼搏；努力2.decade n. 十年；十年期3.expand vt.& vi. 使变大；伸展4.rid vt. 摆脱；除去5.therefore adv. 因此；所以；因而6.crop n. 庄稼；农作物；产量拓展词汇7.hunger n．饥饿；欲望vt.& vi.(使)饥饿→hungry adj.饥饿的8.disturbing adj.引起烦恼的；令人不安的→disturbed adj.扰乱的；精神失常的→disturb vt.扰乱；打扰9.freedom n．自由；自主→free adj.自由的；免费的→freely adv.自由地；随意地10.equip vt.& vi.配备；装备→equipment n．设备(不可数)11.export vt.& vi.输出；出口→import vt.& vi.(反义词)输入；进口12.personality n．性格；个性；人格→personal adj.个人的；身体的；亲自的→personally adv.亲自地；当面；个别地；就自己而言阅读词汇13.statistic n. 数据；统计；统计数字；统计资料14.sunburnt adj. 晒黑的15.super adj. 特级的；超级的16.output n. 产量；输出17.circulate vt.& vi. 循环；流传18.grain n. 谷物；粮食；颗粒19.peanut n. 花生20.occupation n. 工作；职业；占领重点短语1.thanks__to 幸亏；由于；因为2.rid...of 使……摆脱或除去3.be__satisfied__with 对……感到满意4.care__about 关心；在乎5.would__rather 宁愿；宁可6.make__a__difference 有关系；有影响重点句型1.if so省略句式：If__so(如果这样), what did you do to grow them？2.what引导名词性从句：Yuan Longping growswhat__is__called(被称为……) super hybrid rice.3.make it＋形容词＋动词不定式：This special strain of rice makes__it__possible__to(使……成为可能) produce 20% more of the crop in the same fields.4.倍数表达法：Using his hybrid rice, farmers are producing harvests twice__as__large__as__before(以前的两倍大).ⅠFastreadingSkim the text and do the following exercises.1．What’s the main idea of the text?A．Ways to increase the rice output.B．Yuan Longping’s dreams.C．Yuan Longping’s super hybrid rice.D．Yuan Longping—an agricultural pioneer.答案：D2．Match the main idea of each paragraph.Para.1 A．Yuan Longping’s brief life experiences.Para.2 B．Yuan Longping’s dreams.Para.3 C．Yuan Longping’s attitudes toward life.Para.4 D．Yuan Longping’s achievements in the improvements on rice production.答案：DACBⅡCarefulreadingRead the text carefully and choose the best answer.1．Why did Yuan Longping want to develop a new species of rice in the 1950s?A．Because he wanted to win an award.B．Because he wanted to ca tch others’ eye.C．Because hunger was a disturbing problem in China.D．Because his hometown suffered from drought.2．How long did it take Yuan Longping to develop his super hybrid rice?A．12 years.

Section Ⅰ Warming Up & Reading — ComprehendingⅠ.阅读理解AFrom the nation's earliest days, farming has played a very important role in American economy and culture. Early in the nation's life, farmers were seen as typical examples of economic qualities such as hardworking, honest, kindhearted and independent.American farmers think a number of factors lead to the success of their agriculture: The American Midwest has some of the richest soil in the world. Rainfall is enough over most areas of the country; even in some areas where there is not enough rainfall, the rivers and underground water can also support the farming. Besides, large capital investments (资本投入) and highly trained farmers have also been used to develop American agriculture.The first two decades of the 20th century turned out to be the golden age of American agriculture. Farm prices were high as the demand (需求) for goods increased and land values rose. With the development of technology, the food production continued to increase. The good years of the early 20th century ended with falling prices following World War Ⅰ. At the end of World War Ⅱ， the farm economy faced the challenge of overproduction. During that time, because of progress in technology, some advanced machines and chemicals related to farming were widely used, and that meant production per hectare (公顷) was higher than ever. Today, we see a different set of farms trying to meet consumers'demands all over the world.We can see a lot of changes on American agriculture over time. In 1940, there were 6 million farms averaging 67 hectares each. By the late 1990s, there were only about 2.2 million farms averaging 190 hectares in size. During the same period, farm employment decreased greatly —from 12.5 million in 1930 to 1.2 million in the 1990s. While production has doubled over the last 50 years, the number of farms has dropped by more than twothirds. Today, about 150,000 American farmers produce most of our food.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。

Unit 2 Working the land袁隆平是杂交水稻研究领域的开创者和带头人，一直致力于杂交水稻的研究，被称为“杂交水稻之父〞。
通过本文一起来了解一下吧！Road to super hybrid riceBorn in a poor farmer's family in 1930 and as a graduate of the Southwest Agriculture Institute in 1953，Yuan Longping began his teaching career at an agriculture school in Anjiang，Hunan Province.He came up with an idea for hybridizing ricein the 1960s，when a series of natural disastersand inappropriate policies caused China tosuffer a severe famine that led to manydeaths.Since then，he has been devoting himselfto the research and development of a better ricebreed.In 1964，he happened to find a natural hybrid rice plant that had obvious advantages over others.Greatly encouraged，he began to study the elements of this particular type.In 1973，in cooperation with others，he was finally able to establish a plete process of creating and reproducing highyielding hybrid rice species.The next year they successfully cultivated a type of hybrid rice species which had great advantages.It yielded 20 percent more per unit than that of mon ones，putting China in the lead worldwide in rice production.For this achievement，he was called the “Father of Hybrid Rice〞．In 1979，his technique for hybrid rice was introduced into the United States，the first case of intellectual property rights transfer in the history of the People'sRepublic of China.However，the debates among scientists about whether quality or quantity should take priority are frequently heard.In the underdeveloped world，the increasing output is no doubt the primary concern，while people in developed countries prefer highquality rice.Yuan was asked to change his major concern from increasing output to improving quality and taste—a task easier to acplish for him.But Yuan was unswayed (未受影响的)．He firmly believed，in developing countries，the increasing output outweighs the urgency for a better taste，and that his foremost task was to increase the grain reserve in developing countries，instead of the quality problem of his super hybrid rice.“First we must have enough food，then es eating well，〞 he said.[阅读障碍词]1．inappropriate adj.不恰当的；不合适的2．famine n．饥荒3．element n．要素4．cultivate vt.耕作，种植5．transfer vt.使转移6．priority n．优先，优先权[诱思导读]根据短文内容，选择最正确答案1．Why was Yuan Longping called the “Father of Hybrid Rice〞？A．Because he devoted himself to cultivating super hybrid rice.B．Because he graduated from the Southwest Agriculture Institute.C．Because his technique for hybrid rice was introduced into the United States.D．Because he and his team cultivated a hybrid rice species with great advantages.2．What can we infer from the passage?A．Yuan made such great achievements all on his own.B．People were in favor of his idea at first.C．More energy needs to be put into rice quantity in developed countries.D．Yuan Longping pays more attention to rice quantity than rice quality.[答案] 1.D 2.DⅠ.匹配以下单词的词性及汉语意思( )1.sunburnt A．n.战役；战斗；较量；斗争vt.&vi.搏斗；奋斗( )2.struggle B．vt.& vi.配备；装备( )3.decade C．vi.& n．斗争；拼搏；努力( )4.output D．n.饥饿；欲望vt.& vi.(使)饥饿( )5.expand E．n.十年；十年期( )6.battle F．adj.晒黑的( )7.freedom G．vt.& vi.使变大；伸展( )8.therefore H．n.自由；自主( )9.equip I．n.产量；输出( )10.hunger J．adv.因此；所以；因而[答案] 1－5 FCEIG 6－10 AHDⅡ.选择以下句中词组的汉语意思A．毕业于B．除去C．关心D．对……感到满意E．多亏了F．宁愿；宁可G．为……而奋斗H．怀有……的希望( )2.Robert graduated from YaleUniversity with a master's degree in finance in 1998.( )3.Lucy would rather watch TV at home than go to the cinema with her parents.( )4.We should help those who are still struggling for survival and peace.( )5.I would appreciate it if you could give me some advice on how to rid myself of bad habits.( )6.The campaign calls on us to care about the animals.( )7.With the hope of getting the job，he went to the job market.( )8.We really want to know whether you are satisfied with the result.[答案] 1－8 EAFGBCHDA PIONEER FOR ALL PEOPLEAlthough he is one of China's most famous scientists，Yuan Longping considers himself a farmer，for he works the land①to do his research.Indeed，his sunburnt face and arms and his slim，strong body are just like those of millions of Chinese farmers，for whom he has struggled for the past five decades.Yuan Longping grows what is called super hybrid(杂种的) rice②．In 1973，he became the first agricultural pioneer in the world to grow rice③ that has a high output.This special strain(品种；种类) of rice makes it possible to produce 20% more of the crop(产量) in the same fields.Now more than 60% of the rice produced in China each year is from this hybrid strain.造福全人类的先驱尽管是中国最著名的科学家之一，但袁隆平认为自己是个农民，因为他在田间耕作，进行研究。
