I went to watch the ballet The Peony Pavilion last Sunday’s evening. Because I think ballet was more or less the same everywhere, I was total unprepared for its unique beauty. I was absorb as soon as the curtain rose up. The performance borrowed a lot from Chinese dance and music, but the Eastern influence on the ballet was clear. The production was filled in colours and romantic symbols, and challenged my sense in new ways. So much did I enjoy that it has changed my opinion about ballet. I can’t wait to going again!

【解析】
本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者看了一次《牡丹亭》的芭蕾舞剧之后,对于芭蕾舞剧有了新的认识。
第一处:考查名词。句意:上周日晚上我去看了芭蕾舞剧《牡丹亭》。分析句子结构可知,Sunday是名词,名词可以作定语修饰另外一个名词,A’s是所有格形式,在此处Sunday和evening不是所属关系,故用Sunday直接做evening的定语,故将Sunday’s改为Sunday。
第二处:考查时态。句意:因为我认为芭蕾在各地或多或少都是一样的,我完全没有准备好欣赏它独特的美。根据语境可知,文章在描述过去发生的事情,此处也应该是一般过去式,故将think改为thought。
第三处:考查副词。句意:因为我认为芭蕾或多或少在任何地方都是一样的,我完全没有准备好欣赏它独特的美。分析句子结构可知,total是形容词不能修饰动词,故此处用total的副词形式修饰谓语动词was unprepared,故将total改为totally。
第四处:考查形容词。句意:幕布一升起,我就全神贯注了。分析句子结构可知,was是be动词,其后用形容词,absorb是动词,absorbed是其形容词,意为“一心一意的”,故将absorb改为absorbed。
第五处:考查动词的用法。句意:幕布一升起,我就全神贯注了。根据句意可知,rise up的意思是“已升起”,因为rise的本意就是“上升”,加up隐含完成意义。再根据句意可知,此处有“幕布缓缓升起”之意,故将up去掉。
第六处:考查并列连词。句意:表演中大量借用了中国的舞蹈和音乐,所以东方对芭蕾舞的影响是明显的。根据句意可知,两个句子是因果关系,而非转折关系,故将but改为so。
第七处:考查固定搭配。句意:这部作品充满了色彩和浪漫的象征,以新的方式挑战着我的感官。根据句意可知,be filled with意为“充满……”,相当于be full of,故将in改为with。
第八处:考查名词。句意:这部作品充满了色彩和浪漫的象征,以新的方式挑战着我的感官。根据句意可知,当sense作“感官”解时,可用作可数名词,再根据句意可知,此处作品给作者带来的是多处感官的刺激,故用复数形式,故将sense改为senses。
第九处:考查形式宾语。句意:我非常喜欢它,它改变了我对芭蕾舞的看法。分析句子结构可知,that后引导的句子做enjoy的宾语,而enjoy意为“喜欢、喜爱”属于情感动词,其后不能直接加从句,需要加上形式宾语it,再加从句,故在enjoy后加it。
第十处:考查固定搭配。句意:我等不及要再去一次!根据句意可知,wait to do是固定搭配,意为“等待做某事”,故将going改为go。

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.
