【解析】

这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了水稻种植的起源,水稻的种植方式、习性和收获情况等。

1考查一般现在时态。句意:大米被认为是在大约1万年前在中国或其他东亚地区首次种植的。表述客观事实用一般现在时态,句子主语是Rice,所以谓语动词用单数第三人称形式,故答案为is believed。

2考查定冠词。形容词最高级前面用定冠词,故答案为The。

3考查副词。句意:在发达国家,种植和收割主要是用机器来完成的。副词修饰动词,故答案为mostly(主要地)。

4考查副词。句意:在发达国家,种植和收割主要是用机器来完成的。然而,在世界的大部分地区,这些东西大部分都是手工完成的。上下句之间是一种转折关系,故答案为However。

5考查固定句式。句意:一个农民需要10002000个小时的工作时间来在2.5英亩的土地上种植水稻。It takes sb. some time to do sth.做某事花费某人多长时间,故答案为to raise。

6考查动名词。句意:事实上,大米需要大量的劳动力,这就意味着要把大量的人口留在土地上。mean doing sth.意味着做某事,故答案为keeping。

7考查固定词组。句意:大米也是一种需要大量水的作物。in need of需要,故答案为in。

8考查定语从句。句意:在亚洲大部分地区种植的湿水稻在一段时间的降雨后需要炎热的天气,而雨季提供的条件影响了许多水稻种植的地方。此处the places是先行词,在后面的定语从句中做地点状语,故答案为where。

9考查过去分词。句意:水稻收获后,剩在田里的稻秸会给土壤添加养分。此处是过去分词做后置定语,表示“被留下”,故答案为left。

10考查并列连词。句意:对于下一种作物,稻农通常可以通过添加少量或不添加肥料来获得良好的收成。结合句意可知答案为or(或者)。

跟动词不定式和跟动名词意思不一样的动词:

mean doing意味着做某事,mean to do打算做某事;regret doing后悔曾经做过某事,regret to do遗憾地去做某事;try doing尝试做某事,try to do努力去做某事;forget doing忘记曾做过某事,forget to do忘记要去做某事;remember doing记得曾经做过某事,remember to do记得要去做某事。

【题目】Northern California’s national parks appear pure and clean, almost untouched. But scientists are finding that there is more to this wild area than one can see. Even in the deep forests and on the mountain tops, animals may be poisoned by pesticides (杀虫剂) used in valley farms far below.

Researchers with the United States Geological Survey (美国地质勘探局) are working late into the night. They are searching for and catching frogs in the mountains of the Sierra Nevada. The Pacific chorus frog (拟蝗蛙) breeds in the high mountains just as the snow melts. The pools basically fill with meltwater, and as soon as the ponds melt the chorus frogs begin breeding there. Some Pacific chorus frogs in the mountains of California have tested positive for farming pesticides.

Gary Fellers is a researcher who once worked for the USGS. He and other team members are collecting the frogs to test them for agricultural poisons. No one farms in these forested national parks. However, winds carry chemicals from the Central Valley farming area into the mountains.

Kelly Smalling was the lead writer of the USGS study. “The decline of amphibians (两栖动物) has been documented for decades and decades. Some populations have gone extinct. And why these populations are declining is still a mystery.” Ms. Smalling says pesticides could be harming frogs and other amphibians.

The researchers tested pond water and soil from the bottom of the ponds. They were clean or almost free of pesticides. But tests on the bodies of the frogs showed the presence of 12 agricultural pesticides.

The concentration on the frog becomes greater than the concentration that is present on the water or some other part of the environment. Kelly Smalling says the next step is to find a way to deal with the pollution. “The first thing we need to do is understand how these chemicals that we’re finding harm the frogs. We have to understand the problem before we can fix it.”

1Animals in Northern California’s national parks ________.

A. are well protected

B. are killed by air pollution

C. are harmed by pesticides

D. will be sent to the farms in the valley

2According to the text, the Pacific chorus frogs ________.

A. breed when it snows

B. are only found in the ocean

C. are studied by the scientists

D. are free from the farming pesticides

3What will the researchers do next?

A. Keep the pond clean.

B. Deal with the pollution.

C. Find new homes for the frogs.

D. Search for and catch the frogs.

【题目】阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。

A wealthy man and his son liked to collect rare works of art. They had everything in their collection, from Picasso to Raphael. They would often sit together and admire these great works of art.

When the Vietnam conflict broke out, the son went to war. Unfortunately he died in battle while rescuing another soldier. The father was in deep sorrow for his only son.

About a month later, just before Christmas, there was a knock at the door. A young man stood at the door with a large package in his hands. He said, "Sir, you don't know me, I am the soldier for whom your son gave his life." "He saved many lives that day, and he was carrying me to safety when a bullet struck him in the heart and killed him instantly." "He often talked about you, and your love of art." The young man held out this package. "I know this isn't much." "I'm not a great artist, but I think your son would have wanted you to have this."

The father opened the package. It was a picture of his son, painted by the young man. He stared in surprise at the way the soldier captured the personality of his son in the painting. The father was so drawn to the eyes that his own eyes welled with tears. He thanked the young man and offered to pay for the painting. "Oh, no sir, I could never repay what your son did for me. It's a gift."

The father hung the picture on the hall. Every time visitors came to his home he took them to see the portrait of his son before he showed them any of the other great works he had collected.

The man died a few months later. There was to be a great auction(拍卖) of his art collection. Many influential people gathered, excited over seeing the great paintings and having the opportunity to purchase one for their collection.
