课时作业21 UNIT 5 WORKING THE LAND
Ⅰ.阅读理解（每小题2.5分，共20分）
A（2026·江苏扬州七校联考） Fr twenty years, the Internet has been my secnd hme while cmmunicating science. Recently, I came acrss an image: a crying Earth surrunded by fallen trees, declaring, “N intelligent species wuld destry their wn hme.” This image trubled me deeply. I refuse t let my eight-year-ld sn believe humans are stupid r evil—because it’s bviusly untrue. But I ften find myself quite lnely. I’m wndering if, perhaps, there are ther flks ut there wh feel the same as I d.
We didn’t cause climate change thrugh being stupid, but thrugh being extremely smart. Our ancestrs burned cal t slve urgent prblems: grwing mre fd, heating and lighting hmes. We want t prvide a gd life fr urselves and ur children. The results have been astnishing. In the U.S. in 1895 ne quarter f peple died befre age five. Tday it’s under 1 percent, and we will keep pushing until it hits zer. Imagine the essays Ben Franklin r Mark Twain wuld write abut this level f advancement. Hw wuld they keep tears frm their eyes if they saw what we’ve achieved? S much f that achievement has been based n the fssil fuels we’ve burned t generate it, whether cal, natural gas r il.
We’ve learned that this harms bth the envirnment and peple, and t ur credit we aren’t always bad at addressing this. It was nt lng ag that Lndn cleaned its smke-blackened air. When rain becmes acidic, the wrld changes its plicies. When harm is caused lcally, we tend t be pretty gd at cleaning things up. Here’s where I feel hpe: we have already dne this, and we knw it is pssible. I dn’t want my sn grwing up thinking that his species is in sme way evil. I want him t think humans are prblem-slvers, and whatever strategies we take t fix glbal warming will create mre new prblems, t. This is a pretty nrmal stry fr intelligent species.#1.5
语篇解读 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者在互联网传播科学时偶然看见了一张“哭泣的地球”图片，这引发了作者对气候变化原因的思考。
1. Hw did the authr feel seeing the picture nline?( )
A. Disturbed.B. Ashamed.C. Frightened.D. Cnfused.
[解析] 细节理解题。根据第一段第三句“This image trubled me deeply.”可知，作者看到网上的图片后感到不安。A选项Disturbed与文中trubled的意思相近。故选A。
2. What is implied by mentining Ben Franklin and Mark Twain?( )
A. The warning f the warming Earth.B. The prgress in scial develpment.C. The praise fr human mdesty.D. The demand fr greener energy.
[解析] 推理判断题。根据第二段最后四句提到死亡率的下降以及本·富兰克林或马克·吐温会对这种程度的社会进步的反应等信息可推知，作者提到本·富兰克林和马克·吐温是为了说明人类在社会发展方面取得的巨大进步。故选B。
3. Why des the authr feel hpeful abut humans?( )
A. Because we will make mre plicies.B. Because we have discvered mre fssil fuels.C. Because we highly value the rle f the earth.D. Because we can restre the damaged envirnment.
[解析] 细节理解题。根据题干中的hpeful可以定位到第三段最后一句，该句提到让作者感到希望的是“we have already dne this”，而this指的是上句提到的“当环境局部受损时，我们往往能够很好地进行治理”，且前面列举了伦敦净化污染的空气和改变政策解决酸雨问题的例子。因此，作者感到有希望的原因是人类已有修复被破坏的环境的先例。故选D。
4. What des the underlined wrd “stry” refer t in the last paragraph?( )
A. The cycle f causing and tackling prblems.B. The ability t create a bright future.C. The evil nature f human beings.D. The psitive attitude t life.
[解析] 词义猜测题。根据最后一段画线词所在句以及上一句内容可知，作者认为人类是问题解决者，在解决问题的过程中会不断产生新问题，然后又去解决新问题，这是一个不断循环的过程，所以画线词stry指的是“引发问题并解决问题的循环”。故选A。
B（2025·浙江1月,C） A nvel design apprach t gardening has been gaining in ppularity wrldwide. Referred t as matrix planting, this apprach aims fr nature t d a lt mre f the heavy lifting in the garden, and even sme f the designing. Eschewing fertilizers（化肥） and pwer tls, it’s based n an elegantly simple principle: t garden mre like nature des. The cncept was brn when German city planners sught t plant large areas f parkland after Wrld War Ⅱ in a reprducible way that wuld need minimal maintenance. Planners created planting mixes that
culd be used mdularly（模块化）. In a matrix garden, plants with similar cultural needs are gruped s that they will grw tgether abve and belw grund, frming a cperative ecsystem that cnserves water and discurages weeds. Dutch plantsman and designer Piet Oudlf’s gardens ppularized this style, adding artistic flavrs t the planting mixes while playing with clr and frm, including fur-seasn interest and serving the needs f wildlife. Beautiful year-rund, they invite yu t enjy the smallest detail, frm the sund f grasses in the gentle wind t the sculpture f dd-lking seed heads.
It takes a lt f thught t lk this natural. While matrix gardens appear wild, they are carefully planned, with cultural needs the first cnsideratin. Led by the cncept f “right plant, right place,” they match plants that enjy the same sil, sun and weather cnditins, and arrange them accrding t their patterns f grwth. The benefits are substantial fr bth gardener and planet. With human inputs dramatically reduced, the garden’s eclgy can develp well. Established matrix gardens shuld nt need the life supprt we give mst gardens: fertilizer, dividing, regular watering. Cmpared t traditinal garden plts, they increase carbn absrptin, reduce strmwater runff and bst habitat and bidiversity significantly.#1.6
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种在全球逐渐流行的新型园艺设计方法——矩阵式种植。
5. What des the underlined wrd “Eschewing” in the first paragraph mean?( )
A. Running ut f.B. Keeping away frm.C. Putting up with.D. Taking advantage f.
[解析] 词义猜测题。画线词所在句中it指代上文的矩阵式种植。根据“it’s based n an elegantly simple principle: t garden mre like nature des”可知，矩阵式种植遵循的原则是以更像自然的方式进行园艺种植。在自然方式下，植物的生长并不依赖化肥和电动工具。由此推断，Eschewing指的是不使用化肥和电动工具。故选B。
6. Why was the idea f matrix planting intrduced?( )
A. T cntrl weeds in large gardens.B. T bring in freign species f plants.C. T cnserve sil and water resurces.D. T develp lw-maintenance parkland.
[解析] 细节理解题。根据第二段首句“The cncept was brn when German city planners sught t plant large areas f parkland after Wrld War Ⅱ in a reprducible way that wuld need minimal maintenance.（这个概念诞生于二战后，德国的城市规划者试图以一种可重复的方式在大片的公园绿地进行种植，这种方式只需要最低限度的维护）”可知，引入矩阵式种植是为了开发低维护的公园绿地。故选D。
7. Which f the fllwing best describes Piet Oudlf’s gardens?( )
A. Traditinal.B. Odd-lking.C. Tasteful.D. Well-prtected.
[解析] 推理判断题。根据题干关键词“Piet Oudlf’s gardens”定位到第三段。根据“adding artistic flavrs t the planting mixes while playing with clr and frm”可知，花园巧妙运用色彩与形状的同时为植物组合增添了艺术特色。结合Beautiful year-rund、enjy the smallest detail、the sund f grasses和the sculpture f dd-lking seed heads可以得出，Piet Oudlf的花园优美、有品位（Tasteful）。故选C。

语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科学技术在农业中的应用，介绍了滴灌和水培及其优点。
[解析] 空前句提到农民辛苦劳作，空后句提到突发天气状况会影响收成,说明农民是靠天吃饭的。A项“运气在农业中起着至关重要的作用。”与此说法一致，符合语境。故选A。
[解析] 上文指出现代科技给农业带来的好处，空处应该承接上文，继续描写现代科技给农业带来的好处。故选G。
[解析] 上文指出滴灌的优点,农民可以在旱地上种植庄稼,不需要太多水,E项承接上文，说明了不需要太多水的原因——滴灌比其他方法用水少，下文进一步指出滴灌使用有限且集中的水对农作物的好处。故选E。
[解析] 由下文Hwever可知，空处和下文是转折关系，且结合上段提到的滴灌用水少可知，空处应该是对上文进行总结，同时和下文产生转折，即用滴灌能解决缺水地区的农业问题而水培能解决水多、土壤少的地区的问题。故选C。
[解析] 上文提到最近的研究都以垂直水培农业为中心，同时描述了垂直水培农作物的一些情况，空处应该继续描写垂直水培农业的一些相关内容。故选F。
