In 1953 which Yuan Longping graduated from college, hunger was a disturbing problem in much parts of the countryside. To solve the problem, Yuan Longping struggled to find a new way to improve harvests without expand the area of the fields. Through many years’ hard work, Yuan Longping developed that was called “super hybrid rice” in 1973. He became the first agricultural pioneer in the world to growing rice that has a high output. He has also circulated his knowledge to some other countries. Thanks to his research, the UN has more tools in the battle to rid the world with hunger.

(2020·北京高一检测)
　　A few weeks ago, I sat with a California farmer named Dave Ribeiro. I asked him what he wished to know about farmers. He smiled and said, “That we walk among you. We look like you and talk like you. We have advanced degrees and hobbies, just like you. ”
　　Take Dave for example: He’s a young man with a music degree. And if you walked past him on the street, you’d never think, “There goes a farmer. ”
　　Is someone like Dave who you picture when you think of a farmer? Probably not. I think that most people would picture a man in his overalls(工作服). I can tell you, that does not represent Dave or any of the many other farmers I have gotten to know.
　　Not only do we have to throw out our previous impression of farmers, but farming as a whole doesn’t look much like it used to either. We recently sent a team out to see what modern farming looks like, and they found farmers to be completely different from our usual ideas about them and also came across them in some unexpected places.
　　In a parking lot in a neighborhood of Brooklyn, they met a new crop of young farmers who were trying to bring fresh greens closer to eaters in the city by growing them in high-tech indoor vertical(垂直的) farms. In a Florida field under the flight path of an airport, they discovered farmers with university degrees growing plants that might someday fuel our cars. And in a modern farm in California, they observed how farmers were using technology to take the best possible care of their animals.
　　These farmers all spend their days in very different ways—none of them looks like the previous farmer we have in our mind—but they’re all working on new ways to feed our planet. Not only do we need to change our idea of what farming looks like, but we also need to change our view of where solutions can come from. Feeding all of us is going to take all of us working together.
【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文, 介绍了现代农民采用高科技从事农业活动, 农民的形象已经不再是人们过去认为的样子了。
1. How does Dave describe today’s farmers?
A. They often walk on the street.
B. They are leading a very busy life.
C. They are similar to ordinary people.

　　The past 70 years have been good for corn production in the Midwestern United States, with yields increasing fivefold since the 1940s. Much of this improvement has been credited to advances in farming technology but researchers at Harvard University are asking if changes in climate and local temperature may be playing a bigger role than previously thought.
　　In a newspaper, researchers find that a prolonged(延长的) growing season due to increased temperatures, combined with the natural cooling effects of large fields of plants, have had a major contribution to improved corn production in the U. S. “Our research shows that improvements in crop yields depend, in part, on improvements in climate, ” said Peter Huybers, professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences. “In this case, changing temperatures have had a beneficial impact on agricultural production, but there is no guarantee that benefit will last as the climate continues to change.
　　Understanding the detailed relationships between climate and crop yields is important as we move towards feeding a growing population on a changing planet. ” The researchers modeled the relationship between temperature and crop yields from 1981 to 2017 across the so-called Corn Belt. They found that as temperatures increased due to global climate change, planting days got earlier and earlier, shifting by about three days per decade. Early planting means the corn has more time to mature before the end of the growing season.
　　There is also a second, more surprising trend that has benefited corn yields. Whereas the vast majority of temperatures have warmed over the last century, the hottest days during the Midwestern growing season have actually cooled.
　　The researchers estimate that more than one quarter of the increase in crop yields since 1981 can be attributed to the twin effects of a longer growing season and less exposure to high temperatures, suggesting that the crop yield is more vulnerable to climate change than previously thought.
　　The researchers also show that the planting and harvest dates farmers currently use are significantly better adapted to the present climate than it would be to climates in earlier decades.
【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文, 介绍了一项研究结果。在这种情况下, 不断变化的气温对农业生产产生了有益的影响, 但不能保证这种影响将随着气候的持续变化而持续下去。
5. What is previously thought to be the reason for the increase of corn production?

6. Why is it important to understand the relationships between climate and crop yield?
A. The climate has a beneficial impact on agriculture.
B. We can change the climate to improve crop yield.
C. We depend on the climate to get food.
D. Crop yield relies less on the climate.
【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据第二段第二句中“Our research shows that improvements in crop yields depend, in part, on improvements in climate, ”可知, 之所以理解气候和作物产量之间的关系很重要, 是因为我们依靠气候获取食物。故选C。
7. How many factors that benefit corn yields are mentioned in the text?
A. 4. 　　　　B. 3. 　　　　C. 2. 　　　　D. 1.
【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“In this case, changing temperatures have had a beneficial impact on agricultural production, but there is no guarantee that benefit will last as the climate continues to change. ”结合第四段“There is also a second, more surprising trend that has benefited corn yields. . . . growing season have actually cooled. ”可知, 文中提到了2个有利于玉米产量的因素。故选C。

　　Including children in the farming lifestyle has many benefits. Sure, it is nice to have the additional help with chores(家庭杂务), but it also fosters so much growth, sending our kids down a good path towards who they will someday become. It is possible that our children will grow up to lead lives that do not include farming. 　1　  
　　Through caring for farm animals, kids learn that in life others often come before self.
　　　2　 It doesn’t matter if we don’t feel like it or if we are sick and tired. What matters is that we take care of the animals that take care of us and do so in a timely manner.  
　　　3　 If the work on a farm does not get done, the operation fails. It takes discipline and commitment to get down to business every day, and seeing this in action will give kids a good work attitude. They will know and understand that nothing good comes easy and that they have to work to survive. 　4　 Functioning as part of a productive team will surely be playing a crucial role sooner or later in all walks of life.  
　　Additionally, fanning teaches patience. 　5　 Cattle will be difficult to control. Horses will run away when you try to catch them. Goats will kick over that bucket of hard-earned milk. A rooster will decide you got too close to his hens and give you a run for your money. In spite of all that, kids will learn to be patient and take things easy.  
　　There may not be any instant reward, but in the long-term kids will see the benefit of all their efforts during those hard days.
A. At the same time, they learn to work with others.
B. Farm life also teaches kids the value of hard work.
C. Children learn to be grateful for animals for eating purpose.
D. Teamwork is no longer an important skill to develop and use.
E. There are going to be a lot of days when things do not go your way.
F. However, what they learn on a farm can also be instrumental in their future lives.
G. Animals need to be fed, watered, and cared for before we get to sit down and relax.

2. 【解析】选G。根据下句“It doesn’t matter if we don’t feel like it or if we are sick and tired. What matters is that we take care of the animals that take care of us and do so in a timely manner. ”可知, 这和我们是否喜欢或者我们是否生病以及劳累无关。重要的是我们要及时照顾那些照顾我们的动物, 所以在我们坐下来休息前, 动物需要喂食、喝水和照顾。此处上下文都谈论了照顾动物, care for和take care of是关键词, 故选G。
3. 【解析】选A。根据下文“It takes discipline and commitment to get down to business every day, and seeing this in action will give kids a good work attitude. ”可知, 需要纪律和承诺来开始每天的工作, 看到这些付诸行动会给孩子一个良好的工作态度, 所以, 下文提到的工作态度就是选项里所陈述的与他人合作。故选A。
