Four Environmentalists You Should Know
George Washington Carver
George Washington Carver is one of the most famous scientists of the 20th century, not to mention a famous painter. He was an educator at the Tuskegee Institute and an inventor known for making plastics, fuel, and more out of peanuts. He created a list of 300 uses for peanuts, and many more for soybeans and sweet potatoes, in an effort to increase financial gains for Southern farmers.
Julia Hill
After a serious auto accident in 1996, Julia Hill devoted her life to environmental causes. For two years, Hill lived in the branches of an ancient redwood tree which she named Luna in northern California to save it from being cut down. She eventually vacated (搬离) the 200-foot-tall tree after making a deal with the Pacific Lumber Company. The tree was saved finally. Her tree sitting became an international cause.
Theodore Roosevelt
Though he was a known big-game hunter, Theodore Roosevelt was one of the most active champions of wilderness preservation in history. As governor of New York, he outlawed the use of feathers as clothing decorations in order to prevent the killing of some birds. While he was president (1901-1909), he set aside hundreds of millions of wilderness acres, and actively protected soil and water.
Chico Mendes
Chico Mendes is best known for his efforts to save the rainforests of his home Brazil from being cut down. Mendes came from a family of rubber harvesters who supplemented (补贴) their income by sustainably gathering nuts and other rainforest products. Alarmed at the damage of the Amazon, he helped to encourage international support for its protection. His activism drew the anger of powerful ranching (牧业) and timber interests, and he was murdered by cattle ranchers at age 44.

1. Who made a great contribution to agriculture?
A. George Washington Carver. B. Julia Hill.
C. Theodore Roosevelt. D. Chico Mendes.
2. Which achievement belongs to Julia Hill?
A. Protecting wilderness.
B. Saving a 200-foot-tall tree.
D. Saving the rainforests of Brazil.

Farming is among many traditions in South Dakota, one that is not always easy to keep in the family. But one family has survived four generations on it and hopes to continue long into the future. The year was 1933 when Ed Vanderwal’s father first stepped onto the farm. Now more than 80 years later, Ed carries the passion his father gave him for farming every day while working in the fields on the family farm in Volga.
“Well, I was in the first grade when my dad moved here to this farm and I grew up on the farm. And that’s what I was more interested in doing,” Ed said. And that love of working the land didn’t stop with Ed. He’s passed it down to his six sons. Some of them run farms of their own now, while two of them, Scott and David, still work side by side with their dad every day.
Some people might worry that working from sunup to sundown with family seven days a week would lead to a few family spats (争吵). But for the Vanderwals, the constant time together works just fine.
“When families work together on a farm, it’s a challenge at times of getting along. Everyone has to pull their weight and do their share. And that, of course, transfers from one generation to the next,” Scott said.
They all get along like any family, with good days and bad, and it’s tradition that keeps each generation teaching the next.
“We taught them to work with animals at a young age, like most farmers do. It’s nice to be able to pass that tradition to the next generation,” Scott said.
The youngest generation of the Vanderwals, Ed’s three grandsons and a granddaughter, all started learning farming techniques at a young age.

4. Why did Ed Vanderwal devote himself to the farm?
A. He grew up on the farm.
B. He was affected by his father.
C. He could do nothing but work on the farm.
D. He wanted to set a good example for his sons.
5. What can we know from Paragraph 2?
A. Managing a farm is a real challenge.
B. Ed has divided his farms into six parts.
C. Ed taught his sons how to work on farms.
D. Scott and David own their own farms now.
6. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. The Vanderwals have strict family rules.
B. Ed’s tradition has a great effect on the locals.
C. Ed’s grandchildren will drop out of school.
D. Ed’s farms have no lack for successors.
7. What is a suitable title for the passage?
A. A Farming Family
B. A Successful Farmer
C. The Agricultural Tradition
D. The Agricultural Generation

C
For years when lobstermen found sea urchins (海胆) in their lobster (龙虾) traps, they would break them underfoot. That was before Japanese buyers realized that urchin could produce some of the most delicious food on earth. It turned out that there was value in something long ignored.
The fight to feed a world of perhaps 10bn by mid-century is being fought. It demands great reduction in the amount of food wasted and farming that make sure of long-term soil fertility and increases in production. It will also be helped by filling in some of the gaps in the food system: things ignored. There are foods ignored in some places which other places and cultures treasure — such as sea urchins.
Filling in the gaps in the world’s food web requires giving up some tastes and preferences. Consider the insect. Around 1,900 species are eaten around the world, according to the FAO. Fifty years ago, most Western diners didn’t eat uncooked fish; today you can get sushi at supermarkets. In time insects may become a popular delicious food. It is not just sushi that once turned up noses —
potatoes and tomatoes did too. Tastes change over time.
What will a popular menu from 2022 look like to people in 100 years? They may pity dining choices limited to a small number of living creatures — no fried, giant crickets (蟋蟀).

8. What did lobstermen think of sea urchins in their lobster traps at first?
A. They are something annoying.
B. They are tasty and rich in nutrients.
C. They are valuable but long ignored.
D. They are always found in the lobster traps.
9. What does the underlined word “treasure” mean in the second paragraph?
A. prize B. hate
C. overlook D. accept
10. Which of the following is NOT helpful to feed the world?
A. A large decrease in wasted food.
B. Ignoring some foods routinely in some places.
C. Filling in the gaps in the current food web.
D. Soil fertility with improvement in production.
11. Which of the following may happen in the near future according to the passage?
A. All the people will take a fancy to fried, giant crickets.
B. A popular menu from 2022 will remain popular in 100 years.
C. The fight to feed a world of perhaps 10bn is hard to succeed.
D. More insects are likely to be on the menu to feed people in the world.

D
Big changes in agriculture are taking place in Singapore. The small, Southeast Asian nation is leading a farming revolution, according to the Reuters news agency.
Singapore covers around 720 square kilometers of land and only one percent of that land area is used for agriculture. Food production costs are higher there than the rest of Southeast Asia. As climate change and population growth threaten food supplies, the pressure on new farmers is to answer the government’s call to “grow more with less”.
“Whenever I talk about food security in Singapore, I tell people not to think about land — think about space, because you can go upwards and sideways.” said Paul Teng, an agriculture professor at Nanyang Technological University.
There are more than 30 vertical (垂直的) farms in Singapore — ones that grow up, not across, the land. Sustenir Agriculture is one of these businesses. Its hydroponic (无土栽培的) farm grows non-native foods like cherry tomatoes and strawberries inside buildings under artificial lighting. Then it sells the produce to local supermarkets and online stores. Sustenir raised $16 million from investors last year. The money will be used to expand operations in Singapore.
However, not everyone thinks the new technology is best. Egg farmer William Ho says the government should not depend so much on agriculture technology businesses. “Many of them have failed. That’s why I’m always asking the government why it doesn’t invest in us old-timers. We are more practical,” he said. Professor Paul Teng said an issue for urban farmers is that the high cost of the technology makes their products too expensive for many people.
12. What does Paragraph 2 mainly discuss?
A. High food production costs.
B. Reasons for changes in agriculture.
C. Agricultural technology businesses.
D. Sale expansion of food markets.
13. Which is the way to achieve food security according to Paul Teng?
A. Exploring more space.
B. Buying more food.
C. Improving farmland.
D. Investing more money.
14. What do we know about the old-timers?
A. They work on high-tech farms.
B. They benefit from expensive products.
C. They reduce production costs.
D. They need the government’s support.
15. Where is this passage probably taken from?
A. A guidebook. B. A brochure.
C. A newspaper. D. A biography.

五、七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
When thinking about what you can do to help the planet, do you support regenerative (再生) agriculture? Do you even know what it means? While it sounds like something that is up to farmers, there are ways that the rest of us can support it; one way is to practice soil-friendly eating. 1 .
Eat a variety of foods
A group of different foods can be good for getting a variety of nutrients, and by eating different types of foods, you’ll help create demand for a wide variety of agricultural products, which is better for soil. 2 .
Embrace the pulses (豆类)
The pulses are cheap and great alternative to meat. 3 . Pulse crops are able to pull nitrogen from the atmosphere into the soil. This process is called nitrogen fixation and provides a natural fertilizer, which is available for subsequent crops.
Make sure meat is sustainably produced
4 . However, if you do shop for meat, look for the meat which has been produced sustainably. For example, animals feeding on pasture (牧草) rather than grain are better because grain requires a lot of land, water and agrichemicals. Animals take a lot from the soil, so it’s important to support owners of pasture who work to keep their soil healthy.
Reduce food waste
Reducing food waste has been getting much attention recently. By some accounts, it is one of the most important things we can do to fight the climate. 5 .

A. We generally recommend eating less meat or none at all
B. It also helps ease the strain on soil since it reduces its workload
C. Almost everyone mentions the need for regenerative agriculture
D. It turns out that they are also a top choice for soil-friendly eating
E. Here are some steps for how to eat in ways that are harmonious with soil
F. If we don’t take care of the soil, the soil will lose its ability to take care of us
G. Food diversity helps with soil fertility when land is used to grow multiple crops

10. a 考查冠词。句意：这真是一次特别的经历！experience为可数名词，此处是泛指，且special是以辅音音素开头的单词，因此用不定冠词a。故填a。

I’m more than delighted to know our school will launch a campaign themed “cherish the food and refuse to waste” next week. There is no doubt that the activity will help us to do a better job in saving food and encourage us to protect the environment.
Here are my suggestions. First of all, we can put up posters promoting food saving on campus to raise our awareness of respecting farmers and valuing food. What’s more, class meetings should be held to make a change in the students’ attitude. Saving food is a traditional virtue in China, which we should never forget.
I hope the suggestions above are of some use. I believe the activity will be a complete success!
