Long ago, early people couldn’t grow crops, so they had to live by hunting animals and gathering grains. After a tribe(部落) had lived in an area for some time, its food supply would begin to reduce. Then the tribe had to move to new hunting grounds where there was more food.This way of life caused special problems for the tribes. They were forced to depend on luck, as well as on their hunting skills. If they could find no game, the whole tribe would be in danger of starving. And when the hunters had good luck one day, they were not sure to find game the next time. The tribes moved often because much land was needed to support their people.As time passed by, people learned that they could grow their food. At first, the women of tribes collected patches of wild grain. Later, people discovered that they could plant their own seeds. Farming slowly became a way of life.此卷只装订不密封班级 姓名 准考证号 考场号 座位号As people turned away from hunting to farming, their life changed. When the food supply became richer and richer, they no longer moved from place to place. The success of their crops depended partly on the weather, but there were also things they could do to help crops grow.In the past, a tribe had to travel many miles for food. Now, only a small amount of land was necessary to feed the whole tribe. The early tribe could grow in size because farming provided a way to feed people.21. Why did the early tribes move so often?A. They enjoyed traveling around.B. They had to find enough food.C. Because of the bad weather they did not like to stay in one place.D. They liked to go hunting everywhere.22. The underlined word “game” in Paragraph 2 probably means “______”.A. 游戏B. 比赛C. 野味D. 赌博23. When farming provided enough food to people, ___________.A. the women didn’t do any work at allB. the tribe could grow larger and life became steadyC. they did not move at allD. they no longer went hunting24. From the passage we can infer that___________.A. early tribes liked moving from place to placeB. hunting was interesting in early daysC. the change from hunting to farming happened very quicklyD. life was hard and unsteady for early tribesBLand Art, sometimes referred to as Earth Art or Earthworks, is a form of art which involves using physical landscapes to create art, taking art out of the museum and into the outside world. Modern Land Art movement really got going in the 1960s, when American artists began creating Land Art on a large scale. Today, works of modern Land Art can be seen all over the world, sometimes right alongside much older pieces of Land Art created by people who lived thousands of years ago.Land Art, which is not necessarily unchangeable, can take a number of forms. For example, in 1970 Robert Smithson created the SpiralJetty(螺旋状防波堤), made of a collection of stonesand mud, in the Great Salt Lake. The American artistmade a large jetty in a spiral shape which sticks outinto the waters of the lake.Reshaping the landscape is a common characteristic of Land Art, which can be created by moving parts around. People can also add things to the environment to create Land Art, like salt, which is added to the Spiral Jetty. It is possible to use plants. In all cases, Land Art is immovable.Land Art is designed to gradually form, change, and eventually decay(衰落). That’s one of the biggest differences between Land Art and most of the art one sees in the museums. Some works of art can exist only for a few hours or days. Others are exposed to rain and wind so that they develop and decay over time, which is part of the attractiveness in the eyes of the artists.25. What can be learned from the first paragraph?A. Land Art was the most popular art in the 1960s.B. Land Art aims to get people interested in nature.C. American artists were the first to create Land Art.D. People have been creating Land Art for thousands of years.26. What do we know about Robert Smithson?A. He is a great creative artist.B. He lives near the Great Salt Lake.C. He made the most famous Land Art.D. He was a pioneer in creating Land Art.27. One of the unique characteristics of Land Art lies in________.A. it shows the extreme beauty of natureB. it develops and decays gradually over timeC. it combines the landscapes around completelyD. it offers the artists a chance to get close to nature28. What may be the best title for the text?A. Works of Land ArtB. History of Land ArtC. Changes of Land ArtD.

His approach to rice breeding then spread internationally throughout Asia and to Africa and the Americas, providing food for tens of millions and leading to his becoming known as the "Father of Hybrid Rice."Step 4. ReadingReading aloud to the recordingComprehension—understanding what you are reading—is important. To read in thought groups is an easy, yet effective, way of improving reading comprehension. Now turn to page 9 and read aloud to the recording of the text A PIONEER FOR ALL PEOPLE. Pay attention to the thought groups in the sentences while listening and reading aloud.A brief introduction:Yuan Longping is known as China’s “father of hybrid rice”. It’s said that in China, we eat depending on “Two Ping” ---- Deng Xiaoping, who made the policy of System of Production Responsibility, & Yuan Longping, who invented hybrid rice.Yuan Longping, who was born in September, 1930, graduated from Agriculture Department in Southwest Agricultural Institute. He has been working on agriculture education & the research into hybrid rice since he left the institute.In the 1960s, when China was suffering from serious famine, he came up with the idea of hybrid rice, which has a high yield ( or output). Ten years later, he succeeded in inventing a new species that produced a 20 percent higher yield than common types of rice.Yuan devoted himself to the research into agriculture, & was honored by UNESCO & FAO(联合国教科文组织）. Although he is 74 years old, he is still working on the research into agriculture.Period 2 ReadingStep 1 Lead-in.. Listen to the tape carefully then answer these questions.1）When and who did become the first agricultural pioneer in the world to grow rice that has a high output?2）What did Yuan Longping invent?Step2. Read the passage once again,then find out these sentences true or false.1）Dr Yuan is more a farmer than a scientist.2 ）Dr Yuan’s kind of rice is the most suitable for China’s farmland.3）Dr Yuan would rather work than relax.4 ）Dr Yuan has dreams when he is asleep and also when he is awake.5 ）Dr Yuan enjoys a simpler life than most rich and famous people.Step3. Find out the topic sentences of each paragraphPara. 1: He became the first agricultural pioneer in the world to grow rice that has a high output.Para.2:He has devoted his life to finding ways to grow more and more rice..Para.3:He cares little about spending the money on himself and would rather keep time for his hobbies.Para.4 Dr. Yuan’s dreams.Step4. Write down Yuan Longping’s personal informationIn pairs, read the text, find information to complete the following form.Step 5 Language points:1.

Indeed, his sunburn face and arms and his slim, strong body are like those of millions of other Chinese farmers.e.g: The streets in Beijing are wider than those in my hometown.The number of students in our school is larger than that in their school.9. Dr Yuan grows what is called super hybrid rice.e.g: He came to what is called America.10. This special strain of rice makes it possible to produce one -third more of the crop in the same fields.e.g: That made it possible for life to begin to develop.The development of science makes it possible for us to know more about the universe.11. Dr Yuan awoke from his dream with the hope of producing a kind of rice (that could feed more people).e.g: He went to the U.S with the hope of finding a better job there.Step 6Closing down by having a dictationTo end the peri od you will take a dictation. It is about Yuan Longping, “Father of Super hybrid rice”.Yuan Longping, China's Most Famous "Farmer"Yuan came up with the idea of hybridizing rice for the first time in the world in 1960s. Since then, 50 percent of China's total rice cultivation fields have grown such rice, which added some 300 billion kilograms to the country's grain output. Furrows grown on his sunburnt face, a slim figure and coiled-up trousers legs would confuse foreign reporters who came to interview themost famous scientist in China, who would rather be called “a farmer”. Indeed, like many Chinese farmers, Yuan in his 70s and has devoted most of his life growing rice in paddy fields, but unlike those farmers, he reaps the seed from experimental fields only for hybridizing rice.Unit2 Working the landListening, Speaking and WritingLearning AimsTo help students read the passage Organic Farming.To help students to use the language by reading, listening, speaking and writing.ProceduresI．Warming up by listening and reading aloudLanguage is created to be listened to and spoken first.

Unit 2 Working the landPart I a Pioneer for all PeopleAlthough he is one of China’s most famous scientists, Yuan Longping consider s himself a farmer, for he works the land to 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 struggle d for the past five decade s. Dr Yuan Longping grows what is called super hybrid rice. In 1974, he became the first agricultural pioneer in the world to grow rice that has a high output. This special strain of rice makes it possible to produce one-third more of the crop in the same field s. Now more than 60% of the rice produced in China each year is from this hybrid strain.Born in 1930, Dr Yuan graduate d from Southwest Agricultural College in 1953. Since then, finding ways to grow more rice has been his life goal. As a young man, he saw the great need for increasing the rice output. At that time, hunger was a disturbing problem in many parts of the countryside. Dr Yuan search ed for a way to increase rice harvest s without expand ing the area of the fields. In 1950, Chinese farmers could produce only fifty million tons of rice. In a recent harvest, however, nearly two hundred million tons of rice was produce d. These increased harvests mean that 22% of the world’s people are fed from just 7% of the farmland in China. Dr Yuan is now circulating his knowledge in India, Vietnam and many other less developed countries to increase their rice harvests. Thanks to his research, the UN has more tool s in the battle to rid the world of hunger. Using his hybrid rice, farmers are producing harvests twice as large as before.Dr Yuan is quite satisfied with his life. However, he doesn’t care about being famous. He feel s it gives him less freedom to do his research. He would much rather keep time for his hobbies. He enjoy s listening to violin music, playing mah-jong, swimming and reading. Spend ing money on himself or lead ing a comfortable life also means very little to him. Indeed, he believe s that a person with too much money has more rather than fewer trouble s. He therefore gives millions of yuan to equip others for their research in agriculture.Just dream ing for things, however, cost s nothing. Long ago Dr yuan had a dream about rice plants as tall as sorghum. Each ear of rice was as big as an ear of corn and each grain of rice was as huge as a peanut. Dr Yuan awoke from his dream with the hope of producing a kind of rice that could feed more people. Now, many years later, Dr Yuan has another dream: to export his rice so that it can be grown around the globe. One dream is not always enough, especially for a person who loves and cares for his people.Part II Chemical or Organic Farming?Over the past half century, using chemical fertilizers has become very common in farming. Many farmers welcome d them as a great way to stop crop disease and increase production. Recently, however, scientists have been finding that long-term use of these fertilizers can cause damage to the land and, even more dangerous, to people’s health.What are some of the problems caused by chemical fertilizers? First, they damage the land by kill ing the helpful bacteria and pests as well as the harmful ones. Chemicals also stay in the ground and underground water for a long time. This affect s crops and, therefore, animals and humans, since chemicals get inside the crops and cannot just be wash ed off. These chemicals in the food supply build up in people’s bodies over time. Many of these chemicals can lead to cancer or other illnesses. In addition, fruit, vegetable s and other food grown with chemical fertilizers usually grow too fast to be full of much nutrition. They may look beautiful, but inside there is usually more water than vitamin s and mineral s.With these discover ies, some farmers and many customer s are beginning to turn to organic farming. Organic farming is simply farming without using any chemicals. They focus on keeping their soil rich and free of disease. A healthy soil reduce s disease and helps crops grow strong and healthy. Organic farmers, therefore, often prefer using natural waste from animals as fertilizer. They feel that this makes the soil in their fields richer in minerals and so more fertile. This also keeps the air, soil, water and crops free from chemicals.Organic farmers also use many other method s to keep the soil fertile. They often change the kind of crop in each field every few years, for example, growing corn or wheat and then the next year peas or soybeans. Crops such as peas or soybeans put important mineral s back into the soil, making it ready for crops such as wheat or corn that need rich and fertile soil. Organic farmers also plant crops to use different level s of soil, for example, planting peanuts that use the ground’s surface followed by vegetables that put down deep root s. Some organic farmers prefer planting grass between crops to prevent wind or water from carry ing away the soil, and then leaving it in the ground to become a natural fertilizer for the next year’s crop. These many different organic farming methods have the same goal: to grow good food and avoid damaging the environment or people’s health.。
