Since ancient times, the oasis has hosted farms producing some of the most valuable dates in Egyp
17、t”可知海枣已经存在很长时间了。故选D项。2D推理判断题。通过文章第二段中“However, it is with the local peoples effort that date trees, crops and other plants grow in harmony despite the complex agricultural fields, which impressed me a lot during my visit to the oasis.”以及第二段最后一句“These farming skills are passed down from generation to
18、 generation.”可以推知在作者访问Siwa期间，当地农民的智慧和对农业的贡献给他留下了深刻的印象。故选D项。3C推理判断题。纵观全文可以看出，文章介绍了Siwa的海枣种植，生长历史以及海枣的吃法及用途。所以本篇文章适合出现在报纸的自然版块。故选C项。.完形填空AgriculturehasalonghistoryinChina.Muchofthewisdom_1_byearlyChinesescientistsisstillusefultofarmersandgardenerstoday.OneofChinasearly_2_scientistswasJiaSixie, wholive

26、h of the wisdom”可知此处指早期的中国科学家发现(discovered)的许多智慧对现代的农民和园艺家仍然是有用的。2B下文“into agriculture”有原词复现；根据常识也可知答案。3B由下文的“He collected information, studied it, did experiments”可知贾思勰花时间来研究(research)农业。故选B。4D句意：他收集资料，研究资料，做实验，向农民学习经验。learnfromtheexperienceoffarmers表示“学习农民的耕作经验”。5B由下文的“growing green vegetables and
27、 fruit trees, keeping animals, and fishing in lakes”可知，这本书是关于农业和园艺(gardening)的。故选B。6C本句的下文介绍一些具体的主题，如种菜、种水果树、养动物和在湖里钓鱼。因此此处为“主题(subjects)”。7A结合后文“on making wine”可知此处指也有酿酒的说明(instruction)。8B由下文介绍书的内容可知，贾思勰这本关于农业种植的书里有许多实用的知识，是一本实用的(practical)农业指南。9C由下文“young plants”可知此处指“种植幼苗”(growyoungplants)。10D句意：
28、如果你在一年中的正确时间播种和在地里种植幼苗，工作投入少，而结果将会好。与前文的work相对，此处指结果。故选D。11Bbut表示转折，说明本句说明的是违背(goagainst)自然规律进行农业耕作的情况。12C由下文“If the condition of your soil is not good, you should improve it.”可知本句说明的是土壤状况(condition)也很重要。故选C。13B上文告诉我们：土壤状况十分重要，所以要细心、仔细(carefully)检查土壤。故选B。14A由常识可知，在播种或种植作物之前，必须平整土地并清除杂草。后文说明让羊或牛在地上走也
29、是为了除草。故选A。15A让牛羊在地里走就是为了摧毁(destroy)杂草。故选A。16D由下文中“donotplantrice.inthesamefield”可知农作物要变换着种植。17D承接上文说明要变换着种植农作物，那么意思就是不在同一块地里年复一年地(yearafteryear)种同一种庄稼。故选D。18C由下文“good crops”可知如果每年换种不同的庄稼就会收获(harvest)好收成。19C由下文“planting wheat close together was better”可推知，其他科学家说的是种植小麦时，株与株之间要留有空间，但是贾思勰的实验结果表明了种植小麦时，株
30、和株之间紧密些比较好。20A空前提到“but Jia did experiments”，因此后半句是实验结果“证明，表明(show)”。.语法填空阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。Sometimeafter10000BC，peoplemadethefirstrealattempttocontroltheworldtheylived1_in_，throughagriculture.Overthousandsofyears，theybegantodependlesson2_what_couldbehuntedorgatheredfromthewild，andm

33、Newmethods10_meant_(mean)thatfewerpeopleworkedinfarming.Inthelastcenturyorso，thesechangeshaveaccelerated.NewpowermachineryandartificialfertilisershavenowtotallytransformedawayoflifethatstartedintheStoneAge.答案及解析：【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人类农业的发展。1in考查介词。分析句子的结构可知，theylived1._为限制性定语从句，先行词为theworld。将先行词代入
34、定语从句后，应为theylivedintheworld，故填in。2what考查名词性从句。what引导宾语从句，作dependlesson的宾语，由于从句中缺少主语，而且表示“什么”，故填what。3than考查比较级。由前文的morefood可知，此处是more.than.结构，表示“比多”。4wasneeded考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。结合句意“而且随着出生的孩子越来越多，需要更多的食物”可知，morefood与need构成被动关系；主语为food，故填wasneeded。5tochange考查非谓语动词。根据句意可知，农业使人们第一次体验到科技改变生活的力量。此处用不定式作后置定语。6haddiscovered考查动词的时态。根据byabout6000BC可知，用过去完成时。7seasons考查名词复数。根据常识和语境可知，人们开始按照季节更替来种植庄稼，用名词复数表示泛指，故填seasons。8making考查非谓语动词。结合and并列句式结构和上文的planting可知，此处应该填making，而且逻辑主语为they，与make构成主动关系。9the考查冠词。由后文的riseofscience可知，此处是对名词进行限定性修饰，意思是“科学的发展”，故填定冠词the。10meant考查动词的时态。从句时态为一般过去时，故主句时态也用一般过去时。
