这是一篇记叙文。Susan在寄宿学校上学,这是她写给父母的一封信。她在信中说自己因违反学校规定在宿舍吸烟而引发了一场大火,很多女生都住进了医院。校长说这场大火都是她的错误,并要她的家长赔偿损失。Susan告诉父母校长会给他们写信,让他们来把Susan带走。
【1】考查物主代词。根据句意"这是她从学校写给父母的一封信"可知此处要用形容词性物主代词her。故填her。
【2】考查介词。be angry with sb 是固定短语,意为“对某人感到很生气”。故填with。
【3】考查固定短语。这里用any longer与前面的not构成"not…any longer"结构,意为“不再……”。故填any longer。
【4】考查动词的时态。句子中有时间状语last night,所以要用一般过去时。故填started。
【5】考查动词不定式。这是固定短语“want sb to do sth”,意为“想让某人干某事”。故填to catch。
【6】考查关系代词。这是一个非限制性定语从句,先行词为 the waste-paper basket,指物,在后面的非限制性定语从句中作主语,且that不能引导非限制性定语从句,所以关系代词要用which。故填which。
【7】考查形容词。此处可理解为现在分词作形容词,在句中作系动词was的表语,句意为“很快整个房间都着火了”。故填burning。
【8】考查名词。句意:整个学校都着火了。in flames是固定用法,意为“在火焰中”,故填flames。
【9】考查名词。句意:这场火灾都是我的责任。结合上下文分析,所以此处用fault表示“错误,责任”。故填 fault。
【10】考查介词。pay for是固定短语,意为“赔偿,为…而付钱”。故填for。

The exact data on women in agriculture is difficult to pin down. There are variations between countries and agriculture data is challenging to collect. What is clear, however, is that most small-scale farmers are women, making up 60-80 percent of farmers in developing countries. The FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN) estimates that between 43 percent to even 70 percent of agricultural labor in some countries comes from women.
But women still don’t have the same rights as men when it comes to farming, making food production harder for women because of gender inequality. For female farmers, it is unquestionably a challenging job to engage in food production.
In the first place, purchasing land, farming equipment and hiring labor can be expensive. These costs are even harder on women because many of them lack access to credit. In nearly 48 economies women face legal restrictions to having control of their own finances.
Getting to the bank is hard too. Mobility for women in rural parts of developing countries is a big concern. Better transportation and infrastructure could help make access to credit more practicable for women. Credit and finance should be equal for everyone, especially women who are held back by gender restrictions.
Sadly, women may run the world, but they do not own it. Women are virtually denied property rights. Traditional customs in place can pass down land through the male side of the family, leaving women out of land rights completely. Other times, women need permission from a male relative or husband to own land.
It has been apparent that women are not as productive farmers as men and work longer hours in some countries like Indonesia. This is largely due to a lack of education. When education is considered more valuable for men (and thus mainly given to men), women farmers are less informed about the best production methods, thus producing less yield in crops and becoming “less productive”. This can all be changed through providing education for women. Removing gender inequality can help feed 130 million people who are currently undernourished.
Despite these barriers, women are definitely not leaving the “field”. In countries experiencing urban growth, men are migrating to urban areas for other jobs while women stay in rural areas, taking on jobs in farming and agriculture. Healthier children, education, and investment into the community are all benefits that female farmers are shown to have on their communities.
Let’s close the gender gap and give women the tools they need to succeed. If women farmers in developing countries have the same rights and opportunities, they will be just as productive. With increasing population, and the need for better food security, supporting women in agriculture is something that cannot afford not to be invested in.
