资源简介 UNIT 5 WORKING THE LANDⅠ.阅读理解A (2025·常州模拟)A research project called Mineral has created robots that move around in farm fields, collecting information about how plants are growing.The project aims to use computers to help farmers grow more food in ways that are healthy for the environment. The Mineral project is run by a company called X, which is owned by Alphabet — the same company that owns Google. With the number of people on Earth getting bigger each year, more and more food needs to be grown in order to feed everyone.As weather patterns continue to change because of the climate crisis, this task is becoming even more difficult. In the past, when farmers have tried to quickly increase the amount they produce, they’ve used methods that aren’t always healthy for the environment — more fields, fertilizers, and pesticides. Instead, the focus of the Mineral project is on getting farms to produce more by improving conditions for each plant.Elliot Grant, who leads the project, says the goal is to manage the plant instead of the plot (土地). Mineral’s team spent several years talking to farmers to see what problems they were having and how these problems might be fixed.That led to the creation of special robots, called “plant buggies”, which collect detailed information about crops. At first, the buggies were very simple.They were built on bicycles and took pictures with cell phones.Over time, they’ve been improved repeatedly.The robots can take detailed pictures of plants, track each plant’s location, and measure the plant’s size. Before, farmers had information about the soil and the weather, but they couldn’t track every plant.Now, with Mineral’s robots, they can.Studying each individual plant could end up saving time and money.For example, if robots can detect which plants have diseases, farmers can quickly get rid of these plants before they ruin the entire crop.The detailed information will also allow farmers to only fertilize and water the plants that truly need it, meaning fewer plants will spoil and more food will be produced.1.What’s special about the Mineral project?( )A.It’s organised by Google. B.It will increase production.C.It will open up more fields. D.It’s environmentally friendly.2.What will the Mineral project focus on according to Elliot Grant?( )A.Improving the soil. B.Predicting the weather.C.Understanding the crops. D.Controlling the temperature.3.What does the underlined word “That” in Paragraph 6 refer to?( )A.Talking to farmers. B.Fixing the problems.C.Working on the farm. D.Giving farmers lessons.4.What’s the last paragraph mainly about?( )A.How “plant buggies” work. B.The benefits of “plant buggies”.C.The future of the Mineral project. D.How the Mineral project develops.B (2025·福州联考)During a break at work last spring, I took a quick glance at my Facebook account.I had several notifications, and one of them was a friend request.I looked more closely at the screen and saw my grandmother’s picture next to the request.“Barbara Haywood sent you a friend request,” the notification stated.Maybe it was a joke.I hated to think that someone could have opened an account under my grandmother’s name. I called my mom at the end of the workday.“I have a friend request from Mammie.Is it really from her?” I asked. “It is,” my mom confirmed.She explained that my uncle Buster had helped her set up the account.“That is so awesome,” I said.I opened my app and wrote a welcome message on my grandmother’s page. Mammie learned about Facebook gradually.At first, she simply “liked” pictures of the family.After a while, she figured out how to add comments.Her Facebook proficiency is not of great importance.It’s the fact that she’s on social media and has access to pictures of her family on a daily basis. My grandmother has four children, ten grandchildren, and ten great-grandchildren.We all live fairly close to her, but we also lead very busy lives.And though we invite Mammie to many performances and games, her lack of mobility limits her attendance.Now that she has a Facebook account, she doesn’t have to miss a thing.She can keep up with the latest trends and view vacation pictures. However, she has a special way of commenting on posts.She calls us all her doll babies, and she always signs her comments, “Love, Mammie.” A friend asked me the other day if I was going to tell her that she didn’t need to sign her name at the end of her comments.“I sure am not,” I told my friend.She can use Facebook however she wants.I’m not criticizing a thing about what she does.5.How did the author react to the friend request from her grandmother?( )A.Moved. B.Excited.C.Cheerful. D.Doubtful.6.What really matters about her grandmother according to the author?( )A.Her using Facebook skillfully. B.Her presence on social media.C.Her making constant progress. D.Her interest in adding comments.7.What does the author think of her grandmother’s using Facebook?( )A.It’s a chance to make new friends. B.It’s an approach to exploring the world.C.It’s a channel to achieve personal growth. D.It’s a way to get involved in the big family.8.Why does the author refuse her friend’s advice?( )A.Her grandmother will be unhappy. B.Her grandmother is a little stubborn.C.She tries to show respect for her grandmother. D.She likes her grandmother’s unique way indeed.C When people think of farming today, they usually picture a tractor (拖拉机) rather than horses on the farmland.That’s because tractors that relied on engines revolutionized farming in the late 1800s.Now a new type of tractor can do the same in the 21st century. Agriculture has been changing dramatically in the last few decades.The push for innovation is fed by the need to produce larger amounts of food for a growing world population.Automatic tractors may be the key to solving this challenge.They can be used to carry out labor-intensive (劳动密集型的) farming while allowing farmers to do other work.A big plus is that they can increase crop output while reducing costs because the automatic machines can work in all weather conditions without any rest. Part of the push for automation is a shortage of farm workers due to people’s desire to have higher-paying jobs with better working conditions.Farm owners are competing against companies and restaurants that are raising wages to attract workers.“With labor shortages and the increase in the hourly wages that have to be paid in order to be competitive, all of a sudden automation seems like a more reasonable decision,” said David Swartz, a professor at Penn State Extension. Many believe the time is ripe for an automatic revolution because robotics is already in use in agriculture.One company that is working to bring automatic tractors into mainstream farming is Blue White Robotics, an Israeli agricultural technology company, whose mission is to make a fully automatic farm.The company released an automatic tractor kit in February 2021 that can be fixed on any existing tractor.The kit includes camera detection, speed controls, as well as an anti-crash system.The kit is being used by the growers of the West Coast in the US.It may soon come to a farm near you.9.What contributes to the agricultural revolution according to Paragraph 2?( )A.The urge to feed more people. B.The extreme weather conditions.C.The need to reduce farming costs. D.The desire for automatic farming.10.What is Swartz’s attitude to automation?( )A.Critical. B.Negative.C.Supportive. D.Tolerant.11.What can be inferred about Blue White Robotics’ kit?( )A.It has been widely used. B.It can be made in many firms.C.It can improve safety of tractors. D.It will detect the way of farming.12.What may be the best title for the text?( )A.Automation Is Transforming Agriculture B.Big Companies Are Making a DifferenceC.Driverless Tractors Are Worth Investing D.Traditional Farming Is Falling out of DateⅡ.阅读七选五 (2025·南昌模拟)As I was standing in a long line to get into the grocery store waiting to buy fruits and vegetables, I realized I could turn my backyard into a garden.13.( ) Here are several expert tips to help you break ground on your garden. Before you start your work,think about the space you’re changing.Is your space a yard?A rooftop?How much sunlight does it get?Watch out for the temperature and find out which plants adapt well in your region.14.( ) Set the stage with healthy soil.It’s full of billions of bacteria and helps plant roots grow.Then consider the structure of the soil.Different plants require different soil.15.( ) Tomatoes want more clay for keeping water. 16.( ) The decision depends on your preferences, space, what you’re growing and your budget.Stay away from containers that have been used for poisonous materials.They can bring chemicals into the soil as they break down from sunlight. Should I plant seeds or transplant plants?In general, a seed is like a baby.It needs tons of care, but not everyone knows how to get it to survive.Transplanting plants is for starters.17.( ) They still need your love but they’re not going to fall down and kill themselves. With a little planning, I was able to watch three adorable baby trees take root in my yard.One of them recently had its first fruit — sweet little peaches.The yard has totally transformed too.A.It used to be a junkyard.B.Just create a vision based on your location.C.You can start a garden in pots or containers.D.You can buy your garden soil at a hardware (五金制品) store.E.It enables me to grow my own food and save waiting time.F.Carrots want sandier soil, so their roots can grow more easily.G.They are plants that are a few inches high grown in small pots.UNIT 5 WORKING THE LANDⅠ.语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。美国X公司发起了一项名为Mineral的科技工程,旨在以环保的方式来提高农作物产量。1.D 细节理解题。根据第一至四段可知,这项工程的最大特点是在不破坏环境的前提下提高农作物产量;过去提高农作物产量的办法很多,但都对环境造成了破坏。2.C 推理判断题。根据第一段和第五段可知,这项工程主要利用机器人搜集植物的信息;Elliot Grant特别指出,他们的重点在于监控并了解农作物,而非土地。3.A 代词指代题。根据第六段可知,这里的That指代上文提到的研究小组人员花费多年跟农民交谈这一事实。4.B 段落大意题。根据最后一段可知,本段主要阐述了利用plant buggies机器人后将会给农作物生产带来的各种好处。语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。作者的奶奶为了融入大家庭并了解每个人的动态,新注册了Facebook账号。虽然她使用社交媒体还不熟练,但作者认为她能参与进社交网络是最重要的。5.D 推理判断题。根据第一段中的Maybe it was a joke.和第二段中的Is it really from her?可知,作者对于收到的添加好友申请感觉有点怀疑。6.B 细节理解题。根据第四段中的It’s the fact that she’s on social media and has access to pictures of her family on a daily basis.可知,作者认为,奶奶是否会熟练使用Facebook并不重要,重要的是她加入了社交媒体平台并且每天可以看到家人们的照片。7.D 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段可知,在作者看来,奶奶开始使用Facebook,这意味着她会及时了解家人们的所有活动和动态,再也不会落下任何一件事了。8.C 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的She can use Facebook however she wants.可知,作者不打算干涉奶奶使用Facebook方式的自由,这体现了她对奶奶的一种尊重。语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了自动化在农业中的应用及其在农业改革中发挥的作用。9.A 推理判断题。根据第二段中的Agriculture has been ...growing world population.可知,农业在过去的几十年里发生了巨大的变化。为不断增长的世界人口生产更多粮食的需求推动了创新。由此可推知,因为世界人口的增长,需要生产更多粮食来养活更多人,这促成了农业革命。10.C 观点态度题。根据第三段中的“With labor shortages ...a more reasonable decision,” said David Swartz可知,David Swartz说:“随着劳动力的短缺和为了保持竞争力而必须支付的小时工资的增加,突然之间,自动化似乎是一个更合理的决定。”由此可推知,David Swartz认为自动化是合理的决定,即David Swartz支持农业自动化。11.C 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的The company released ...an anti-crash system.可知,该公司于2021年2月发布了一款自动拖拉机配套设备,它可以被安装在任何现有的拖拉机上;该设备包含摄像头探测、速度控制以及防撞系统。由此可推知,该设备能够提高拖拉机的安全性。12.A 标题归纳题。文章第一段引出话题,第二段和第三段分别介绍推动农业自动化的两个主要因素,最后一段通过举例的方式介绍自动化在农业中的应用。因此,A项(自动化正在改变农业)为本文最佳标题。Ⅱ.语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了将空地改造成菜园的一些建议。13.E 上文提到作者在杂货店排队买果蔬时想到把后院变成菜园,E项(它让我能够自己种植食物并节省等待时间)解释了这样做的好处,与上文衔接紧密,同时引出下文关于改造菜园的建议。14.B 上文提到在动工前要考虑空间、阳光和温度,B项是对上文所要考虑因素的总结,即根据你的位置创建一个愿景。15.F 上文提到不同植物需要不同的土壤,下文以西红柿为例进行具体说明,因此F项(胡萝卜需要沙质土壤,这样它们的根才能更容易生长)与下文一起具体说明不同植物对土壤有不同的需求。16.C 下文讲述了选择容器的依据以及要远离装过有毒物质的容器,C项概括了本段主要内容,符合语境。17.G 上文提到种子需要大量呵护,新手可从移植植物开始,G项(它们是生长在小花盆里的几英寸高的植物)是对移植的植物的具体解释,与下文相呼应。4 / 4Part Ⅰ 一维重点突破 For years, a farmer called John has been devoted to (tackle) the problem of hunger.He thought it essential him to benefit from the practical knowledge spread by Yuan Longping.Therefore, he had no choice but to equip himself with more knowledge of Yuan’s farming methods.He took all (aspect) into consideration and developed his farming method suitable for the soil of his fields.With scientific farming methods, he and his family have their output (expand) .In turn, they have never bought exported grain any longer. 微技能热身 1.①处应填 。 2.②处应填 。 3.③处加黑词与本单元词汇 同义。 4.④处应填 。 5.⑤处应填 。devote vt.把……献(给);把……专用于;专心于(常与介词to连用)【练通】 单句语法填空①It is your (devote), persistence and efforts that eventually allow you to gain rapid progress.②If you have a (devote) heart for people in need, you’re welcome to participate and details are as follows.【写美】 一句多译③我最崇拜的人是我的英语老师,他致力于教学。→The person I admire most is my English teacher .(形容词短语作定语)→The person I admire most is my English teacher .(定语从句)【归纳】(1)devote ...to 把……用于;献身;致力;专心devote oneself to 致力于;献身于(2)devoted adj. 忠实的;深爱的be devoted to 专心于;致力于(3)devotion n. 奉献;献身;忠诚【佳句】 Devoting himself to studying hybrid rice, Yuan Longping was respected by people all over the world.=Devoted to studying hybrid rice, Yuan Longping was respected by people all over the world.袁隆平一生致力于杂交水稻的研究,他受到全世界人民的尊敬。【指津】 devote ... to ...中的to是介词,其后常接名词、代词或动词-ing形式作宾语。in turn 相应地;转而;依次;轮流【写美】 用turn的相关短语填空Some student representatives ① to deliver speeches at the coming-of-age ceremony.Finally, it was ② .Personally, in the past it was our parents and teachers that helped us in many aspects and ③ , we should give a helping hand to them from now on.For instance, we and our parents can do housework ④ .【归纳】in one’s turn 轮到某人;接着by turns 轮流;交替地take turns to do sth 轮流做某事It is one’s turn to do sth 轮到某人做某事It turns/turned out that ... 结果是……a/the turn of events 情况的改变或发展one good turn deserves another 以德报德 In reality, what shocks us is that large amounts of food have been wasted in restaurants and canteens.

The Mineral project is run by a company called X, which is ownedby Alphabet — the same company that owns Google. With the number of people on Earth getting bigger each year, moreand more food needs to be grown in order to feed everyone.As weatherpatterns continue to change because of the climate crisis, this task isbecoming even more difficult. In the past, when farmers have tried to quickly increase the amountthey produce, they’ve used methods that aren’t always healthy for theenvironment — more fields, fertilizers, and pesticides. Instead, the focus of the Mineral project is on getting farms toproduce more by improving conditions for each plant.Elliot Grant, wholeads the project, says the goal is to manage the plant instead of the plot(土地). Mineral’s team spent several years talking to farmers to see whatproblems they were having and how these problems might be fixed.Thatled to the creation of special robots, called “plant buggies”, whichcollect detailed information about crops. At first, the buggies were very simple.They were built on bicyclesand took pictures with cell phones.Over time, they’ve been improvedrepeatedly.The robots can take detailed pictures of plants, track eachplant’s location, and measure the plant’s size. Before, farmers had information about the soil and the weather,but they couldn’t track every plant.Now, with Mineral’s robots,they can.Studying each individual plant could end up saving time andmoney.For example, if robots can detect which plants have diseases,farmers can quickly get rid of these plants before they ruin the entirecrop.The detailed information will also allow farmers to only fertilize andwater the plants that truly need it, meaning fewer plants will spoil andmore food will be produced.语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。美国X公司发起了一项名为Mineral的科技工程,旨在以环保的方式来提高农作物产量。语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。美国X公司发起了一项名为Mineral的科技工程,旨在以环保的方式来提高农作物产量。1.

I called my mom at the end of the workday.“I have a friend requestfrom Mammie.Is it really from her?” I asked. “It is,” my mom confirmed.She explained that my uncle Busterhad helped her set up the account.“That is so awesome,”I said.Iopened my app and wrote a welcome message on my grandmother’spage. Mammie learned about Facebook gradually.At first, she simply“liked” pictures of the family.After a while, she figured out how toadd comments.Her Facebook proficiency is not of great importance.It’sthe fact that she’s on social media and has access to pictures of her familyon a daily basis. My grandmother has four children, ten grandchildren, and tengreat-grandchildren.We all live fairly close to her, but we also lead verybusy lives.And though we invite Mammie to many performances andgames, her lack of mobility limits her attendance.Now that she has aFacebook account, she doesn’t have to miss a thing.She can keep upwith the latest trends and view vacation pictures. However, she has a special way of commenting on posts.She callsus all her doll babies, and she always signs her comments, “Love,Mammie.” A friend asked me the other day if I was going to tell her thatshe didn’t need to sign her name at the end of her comments.“I sure amnot,” I told my friend.She can use Facebook however she wants.I’mnot criticizing a thing about what she does.语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。作者的奶奶为了融入大家庭并了解每个人的动态,新注册了Facebook账号。虽然她使用社交媒体还不熟练,但作者认为她能参与进社交网络是最重要的。语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。作者的奶奶为了融入大家庭并了解每个人的动态,新注册了Facebook账号。虽然她使用社交媒体还不熟练,但作者认为她能参与进社交网络是最重要的。5.

Agriculture has been changing dramatically in the last fewdecades.The push for innovation is fed by the need to produce largeramounts of food for a growing world population.Automatic tractors maybe the key to solving this challenge.They can be used to carry out labor-intensive (劳动密集型的) farming while allowing farmers to do otherwork.A big plus is that they can increase crop output while reducing costsbecause the automatic machines can work in all weather conditions withoutany rest. Part of the push for automation is a shortage of farm workers due topeople’s desire to have higher-paying jobs with better workingconditions.Farm owners are competing against companies and restaurantsthat are raising wages to attract workers.“With labor shortages and theincrease in the hourly wages that have to be paid in order to becompetitive, all of a sudden automation seems like a more reasonabledecision,” said David Swartz, a professor at Penn State Extension. Many believe the time is ripe for an automatic revolution becauserobotics is already in use in agriculture.One company that is working tobring automatic tractors into mainstream farming is Blue White Robotics,an Israeli agricultural technology company, whose mission is to make afully automatic farm.The company released an automatic tractor kit inFebruary 2021 that can be fixed on any existing tractor.The kit includescamera detection, speed controls, as well as an anti-crash system.Thekit is being used by the growers of the West Coast in the US.
