Ⅲ.主题语篇阅读(共8小题；每小题2.5分，满分20分)
A
The idea of growing food in a desert would make most people laugh but this is quickly becoming a reality.There are currently two desert farms in the world where quality vegetables are being planted cheaply and easily.
Sundrop Farms，based in South Australia，uses experimental greenhouses to grow tomatoes，peppers and cucumbers.The biggest challenge of growing food in a desert，obviously，is the lack of available water.The researchers at Sundrop Farms have gotten around this problem by using the sun to desalinate(淡化) sea water.It can also be used to control the temperature of the greenhouses.
Without depending on limited resources such as land and fresh water，Sundrop Farms has made farming a practice.This can increase the world’s food supplies.Another benefit of this kind of farming is that it can be done anywhere，thus reducing the costs of transporting food to distant locations.Yet another benefit is that it reduces the need for pesticides(杀虫剂)．
Another experimental desert farm is the Sahara Forest Project，which began in Qatar in December 2012.Greenhouses in the farm are cooled by saltwater.Solar power and other technologies are used together to help make vegetation(植被) grow in the desert environment.As deserts have expanded over recent years around the world due to global warming，this project could solve the problem.
The result from the Qatar project was better than expected and in June of 2014，Jordan agreed to host another one.This will be much bigger than the Qatar project and the project members will have even more opportunities to test their experiments on a much larger scale.It is not clear yet that desert farming represents the future of farming but these projects have shown some success in the field.
1．What does “this problem” in paragraph 2 refer to
A．Sea water is hard to purify.
B．The desert is short of water.
C．The temperature is high in the desert.
D．Desert farms aren’t fit to plant vegetables.
答案　B
解析　推理判断题。根据文章第二段画线词前句“The biggest challenge of growing food in a desert，obviously，is the lack of available water.”和后半句“by using the sun to desalinate(淡化) sea water”可知，研究人员已经通过利用阳光淡化海水解决了沙漠中缺水的问题。所以this problem指前文中所提到的“沙漠缺水”。故选B。
2．What is one of the characters of desert farming
A．It needs more pesticides.
B．It saves delivery costs.
C．It has a location limit.
D．It solves food waste problems.
答案　B
解析　细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“Another benefit of this kind of farming is that it can be done anywhere，thus reducing the costs of transporting food to distant locations.”可知，沙漠农业可以在任何地方进行，进而减少食物运送成本。故选B。
3．What can we know about the Sahara Forest Project
A．It lives up to expectations.
B．It can help produce more food.
C．It is started to prevent global warming.
D．It uses technology to produce saltwater.
答案　A
解析　细节理解题。根据文章第五段中“The result from the Qatar project was better than expected”可知，撒哈拉森林项目之卡塔尔项目的结果比预想得好，即达到了预期。故选A。
4．What can be inferred about desert farming from the last paragraph
A．It still has problems to solve.
B．It represents the future of farming.
C．Its early success has aroused interest in it.
D．Its aim is to create more job opportunities.
答案　C
解析　推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中“The result from the Qatar project was better than expected and in June of 2014，Jordan agreed to host another one.”和“It is not clear yet that desert farming represents the future of farming but these projects have shown some success in the field.”可知，卡塔尔项目的结果比预想得好，约旦赞同再进行一个。从而推断，沙漠农场项目早期的成功已经引起了人们对沙漠农场的兴趣。故选C。
B
As a young girl growing up in France，Sarah Toumi dreamed of becoming a leader who could make the world a better place.Her passion to help others was awakened when，from the age of nine，she accompanied her Tunisian father to his birthplace in the east of the country during holidays.There she organized homework clubs and activities for children.
Toumi witnessed first-hand the destructive effect of desertification(沙漠化)．“Within 10 years rich farmers became worse off，and in 10 years from now they will be poor.I wanted to stop the Sahara Desert in its tracks.” A decrease in average rainfall and an increase in the severity of droughts have led to an estimated 75 percent of Tunisia’s agricultural lands being threatened by desertification.
Toumi recognized that farming practices needed to change.She is confident that small land areas can bring large returns if farmers are able to adapt by planting sustainable(可持续的) crops，using new technologies for water treatment and focusing on natural products and fertilizers(肥料) rather than chemicals.
In 2012，Toumi continued her dream to fight the desert.She moved to Tunisia，and set up a programme named Acacias for All to put her sustainable farming philosophy into action.“I want to show young people in rural areas that they can create opportunities where they are.Nobody is better able to understand the impact of desertification and climate change than somebody who is living with no access to water.”
By September 2016，more than 130,000 acacia trees had been planted on 20 pilot farms，with farmers recording a 60 percent survival rate.Toumi estimates that some 3 million acacia trees are needed to protect Tunisia’s farmland.She expects to plant 1 million trees by 2028.In the next couple of years，Toumi hopes to extend the programme to Algeria and Morocco.
语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Sarah Toumi的成长经历及其为对抗沙漠化、保护突尼斯农田所做出的努力，包括成立Acacias for All项目，种植树木以维护生态平衡，同时也提及了她的个人愿景。
5．How did Toumi’s holiday trips to Tunisia influence her
A．They fired her enthusiasm for helping others.
B．They helped her better understand her father.
C．They made her decide to leave the country.
D．They destroyed her dream of being a teacher.
答案　A
解析　细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“Her passion to help others was awakened when，from the age of nine，she accompanied her Tunisian father to his birthplace in the east of the country during holidays.”可知，Toumi在突尼斯的假期旅行激发了她帮助他人的热情。故选A。
6．What is the main cause of the desertification of Tunisia’s farmland
A．Cold weather.
B．Soil pollution.
C．Low rainfall.
D．Forest damage.
答案　C
解析　细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“A decrease in average rainfall and an increase in the severity of droughts have led to an estimated 75 percent of Tunisia’s agricultural lands being threatened by desertification.”可知，导致突尼斯农田沙漠化的主因是降水量减少。故选C。
7．Why did Toumi set up Acacias for All in Tunisia
A．To create job opportunities for young people.
B．To promote the protection of local farmland.
C．To persuade the farmers not to use fertilizers.
D．To help the children obtain a basic education.
答案　B
解析　推理判断题。根据文章第三段内容、第四段中“She moved to Tunisia，and set up a programme named Acacias for All to put her sustainable farming philosophy into action.”和第五段中“Toumi estimates that some 3 million acacia trees are needed to protect Tunisia’s farmland.”可知，Toumi建立Acacias for All的目的是促进当地的农田保护。故选B。
8．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．Saving Water in Africa
B．Fighting Poverty in North Africa
C．Holding Back the Sahara
D．Planting Trees in Tunisia
答案　C
解析　标题归纳题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第二段中“Toumi witnessed first-hand the destructive effect of desertification(沙漠化)．‘Within 10 years rich farmers became worse off，and in 10 years from now they will be poor.I wanted to stop the Sahara Desert in its tracks.’”和第四段首句“In 2012，Toumi continued her dream to fight the desert.”可知，文章主要讲述了Sarah Toumi为阻止沙漠化进程所做的努力，旨在保护突尼斯的农田免受沙漠化威胁。因此，“Holding Back the Sahara”最能概括文章主题。故选C。

Ⅲ.主题语篇阅读
语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了沙漠农业的相关项目。
Sundrop Farms，based in South Australia，uses experimental greenhouses to grow tomatoes，peppers and cucumbers.The biggest challenge of growing food in a desert，obviously，is the lack of available water.The researchers at Sundrop Farms have gotten around this problem by using the sun to desalinate(淡化) sea water.It can also be used to control the temperature of the greenhouses.
Without depending on limited resources such as land and fresh water，Sundrop Farms has made farming a practice.This can increase the world’s food supplies.Another benefit of this kind of farming is that it can be done anywhere，thus reducing the costs of transporting food to distant locations.Yet another benefit is that it reduces the need for pesticides(杀虫剂).
Another experimental desert farm is the Sahara Forest Project，which began in Qatar in December 2012.Greenhouses in the farm are cooled by saltwater.Solar power and other technologies are used together to help make vegetation(植被) grow in the desert environment.As deserts have expanded over recent years around the world due to global warming，this project could solve the problem.
The result from the Qatar project was better than expected and in June of 2014，Jordan agreed to host another one.This will be much bigger than the Qatar project and the project members will have even more opportunities to test their experiments on a much larger scale.It is not clear yet that desert farming represents the future of farming but these projects have shown some success in the field.

As a young girl growing up in France，Sarah Toumi dreamed of becoming a leader who could make the world a better place.Her passion to help others was awakened when，from the age of nine，she accompanied her Tunisian father to his birthplace in the east of the country during holidays.There she organized homework clubs and activities for children.
语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Sarah Toumi的成长经历及其为对抗沙漠化、保护突尼斯农田所做出的努力，包括成立Acacias for All项目，种植树木以维护生态平衡，同时也提及了她的个人愿景。
Toumi witnessed first-hand the destructive effect of desertification(沙漠化).“Within 10 years rich farmers became worse off，and in 10 years from now they will be poor.I wanted to stop the Sahara Desert in its tracks.” A decrease in average rainfall and an increase in the severity of droughts have led to an estimated 75 percent of Tunisia’s agricultural lands being threatened by desertification.
Toumi recognized that farming practices needed to change.She is confident that small land areas can bring large returns if farmers are able to adapt by planting sustainable(可持续的) crops，using new technologies for water treatment and focusing on natural products and fertilizers(肥料) rather than chemicals.
In 2012，Toumi continued her dream to fight the desert.She moved to Tunisia，and set up a programme named Acacias for All to put her sustainable farming philosophy into action.“I want to show young people in rural areas that they can create opportunities where they are.Nobody is better able to understand the impact of desertification and climate change than somebody who is living with no access to water.”
By September 2016，more than 130,000 acacia trees had been planted on 20 pilot farms，with farmers recording a 60 percent survival rate.Toumi estimates that some 3 million acacia trees are needed to protect Tunisia’s farmland.She expects to plant 1 million trees by 2028.In the next couple of years，Toumi hopes to extend the programme to Algeria and Morocco.
