A
Marathon runner Gerima Mustafa of Uganda walked 664 kilometres across East Africa to call attention to threats to the shea (乳木果) tree,a source of food,medical products and income for the many living from West Africa to Somalia.
Now research scientists studying the shea tree in Burkina Faso have found that it is the natural ecosystem that is getting degraded in this region that might do harm to the shea,which is often targeted by charcoal (木炭) traders who kill and sell the trees for far less than the long-term worth of their benefits.The habitats are lost to ever-increasing agricultural shifts,too,with a clear overall link to the impacts of human activity.
Scientist Aoife Delaney of the UK,along with Burkinabe researchers and British ecologists,studied 10 different parkland locations in Burkina Faso where the trees are planted.They say the tree—able to produce nuts for 200 years—relies on pollinators (传粉者) that thrive when other trees and shrub (灌木) species around it create a habitat to support the pollinators,especially bees.
“Consequently,shea productions are likely to benefit from the preservation of a range of different trees and shrub species in parklands,” Delaney and the research team said.Their work was recently published in the Journal of Applied Ecology.
The authors recommend maintaining a range of native woody species throughout their lifespans,and planting new ones into farmland when cleared.The idea is to be intentional and active about protecting the trees.
“Only separate parts of semi-natural habitat in the surrounding landscape may not be sufficient to provide the necessary pollination services,” they concluded.“In a region that is subject to nutritional poverty and where the fund required to supply local foods is lacking for most families,maintaining natural ecosystem services that support food provision must be a priority.”
(　　)1.Why is Gerima Mustafa mentioned in the first paragraph
A.To describe a marathon runner’s experience.
B.To suggest the popularity of Gerima Mustafa.
C.To introduce the importance of shea trees.
D.To explain an approach to protecting the wildlife.
(　　)2.What is a great threat to the shea trees in Burkina Faso
A.The agricultural development.
B.The illegal hunting of animals.
C.The disturbance of human activity.
D.The pollution in their natural habitat.
(　　)3.What does the underlined word “thrive” mean in Paragraph 3
A.Increase. B.Spread.
C.Escape. D.Change.
(　　)4.What do the scientists recommend locals to do to protect the shea trees
A.Provide hand-pollination services.
B.Keep the biodiversity within ecosystem.
C.Replace the old shea trees with new ones.
D.Open up more natural habitats for pollinators.
语篇导读:本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了乳木果树所面临的威胁及人们采取的保护措施。
答案及剖析:
1.C　推理判断题。第一段提及Gerima Mustafa是为了介绍乳木果树的重要性。故选C。
2.C　推理判断题。根据第二段的第一句可推知,人类活动的干扰对乳木果树产生了巨大威胁。故选C。
3.A　词义猜测题。根据画线词后文“...when other trees and shrub (灌木) species around it create a habitat to support the pollinators,especially bees.”及常识可知,在这种情况下,传粉者会茁壮成长。由此可知,画线词thrive与increase意思接近。故选A。
4.B　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段内容及最后一段最后一句可推知,科学家们建议当地人通过保持生态系统内的生物多样性来保护乳木果树。故选B。
B
Agricultural scientists in Switzerland have demonstrated the long-term effect of organic farming methods.Organic farms use no man-made chemicals to increase crops or control insects and diseases.The study shows that organic fields produce fewer crops,on average,than other fields.However,the scientists say the organic methods improve the health of the soil and use half as much energy.
The Swiss scientists compared the effects of organic and traditional farming methods over a period of more than twenty years.They grew crops in four fields in Switzerland.The crops in two fields were grown using traditional farming methods.The others were grown using organic farming methods.The crops and soil use were similar in all the fields studied.
The study found that the organic fields produced about 20% fewer crops than the other fields.However,the farmers used less fertiliser and energy in the organic fields.They found the organic fields were healthier.
The scientists say the organic fields had more nutrients in the soil.The soils in the organic fields also had more biological activity than the other fields.The organic fields had more helpful organisms and a larger number of different organisms.The organic fields had almost two times as many insects,including helpful insects.In traditional farming,chemicals designed to kill harmful insects also killed helpful ones.
The researchers say the findings show that organic crop production rates change little overtime,and that soil fertility increases.They say the findings suggest that organic farmers can help the environment by increasing soil fertility.
Organic farming is becoming increasingly popular in some countries.Many people believe that eating organic food is more healthful than eating food grown with chemicals.Some people are willing to pay more money to buy organic food.
(　　)5.What does the study show about the organic methods
A.They have more output than other fields.
B.They benefit the health of the humans and the soils.
C.They use more energy than traditional ones.
D.They can control diseases without using any chemicals.
(　　)6.In what way do the researchers carry out the experiment
A.Selecting the best seeds.
B.Using the latest technology.
C.Applying different methods.
D.Planting crops in special soils.
(　　)7.What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about concerning organic fields
A.Its strengths.
B.Its products.
C.Its application.
D.Its shortage.
(　　)8.What can we infer from the text
A.No insects exist in organic fields.
B.Organic farming is environment-friendly.
C.People can’t afford organic food at present.
D.Organic crop production rates increase rapidly.

One possible version:
Last weekend,as scheduled,I went to a remarkable modern farm named Green Grow with several classmates,which has impressed and inspired all of us.
Featuring green pollution-free fruit and vegetables,Green Grow boasts a brilliant high-tech farm covering an area of 2,000 acres,where advanced technology and equipment are used for efficient farming.Additionally,there is a fascinating experience garden particularly intended for individuals to pick green food by themselves.After listening to the instructions given by the staff,we started our adventure.Not only did we collect fruit and vegetables directly from plants,but we also ate some fresh strawberries on the spot.
What this activity has given me is a kind of unique pleasure,as well as a great opportunity to get close to nature.素养测练(十)　UNIT 5　Part 2
