29、s BlinesCspace Dbalance(A)20Ashowed BmeantCintended Ddecided答案及解析：【语篇解读】文章介绍了我国古代农学家贾思勰对我国古代农业的研究和贡献。他的耕种方法对现代农业仍然有重要的指导作用。1A由上文的“Much 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
30、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。 learn from the experience of farmers表示“学习农民的耕作经验”。5B由下文的“growing green vegetables and 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 win
31、e”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”(grow young plants)。10D句意：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(go against)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, y
32、ou 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“do not plant rice.in the same field”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(year after year)种同
33、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。Some time after 10000 BC，people mad

37、nt_(mean)that fewer people worked in farming. In the last century or so，these changes have accelerated. New power machinery and artificial fertilisers have now totally transformed a way of life that started in the Stone Age.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，they lived 1._为限制性定语从句
38、，先行词为the world。将先行词代入定语从句后，应为they lived in the world，故填in。2what考查名词性从句。what引导宾语从句，作depend less on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more food可知，此处是more.than.结构，表示“比多”。4was needed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，more food与need构成被动关系；主语为food，故填was needed。5to change考查非谓语动词。根据句意可知
39、，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。6had discovered考查动词的时态。根据by about 6000 BC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rise of science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。
