crops.American researchers say that ‎ can happen with greater use of an agricultural system called perenniation.It mixes food crops with trees and perennial plants — those that return year after year.‎ Soil scientist John Reganold says, “One of the major problems is that the soils are fairly poor in most of the regions.So how do you grow food on poor soils? There have to be food production systems that can build the soil and improve the yield.”‎ Mr.Reganold says poor soil may have resulted from years of weathering that washed away many nutrients.He says some farmers may have done more harm than good.‎ ‎“They have been actually using farming practices where they’re not putting in organic matter.They’re not putting in fertilizers.They can’t afford those things.And it just runs the soil down.So they’re worsening the situation.”‎ The scientist says the word perenniation defines three systems that are already used in Africa.The oldest of the three is called evergreen agriculture.This is where farmers plant trees with their crops.Farmers in Africa have been doing this for sixty years, but it seems to be growing in popularity.‎ The method is gaining widespread use in countries such as Niger, Burkina Faso, Malawi and Zambia.The trees are planted among maize (玉米), millet or sorghum crops.They not only add nitrogen (氮) to the soil through their roots, but also through their leaves when they fall off and break down.At other times of the year, the trees can protect plants from strong sunlight.‎ John Reganold says he knows of one woman who has had great success with perenniation.‎ ‎“She’s a grandmother in her fifties.Her name is Rhoda Mang’yana and she started using this system about twenty years ago.And her yields initially were about a ton of maize.Now with a good year she gets four tons per hectare, four times what she was getting.”‎ 语篇解读：在非洲，土地有限、地力贫瘠。如何有效地改善土地状况，提高农作物产量呢？本文介绍了一种能有效提高土地的肥力，促进生产的耕作方式。‎ ‎1．The purpose of the passage is to ________.‎ A．tell people how to increase production B．introduce an agricultural system in Africa C．introduce the oldest farming method in Africa D．tell us how to prevent soil from being poor 解析：选B　写作意图题。由文章第一段及第二段第二句话可知，本文主要针对非洲土地营养成分不足、产量低这一问题，向我们介绍了一种新的农业系统。‎ ‎2．What does the underlined word “weathering” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?‎ A．Being exposed to wind and rain.‎ B．Growing different crops.‎ C．Being polluted severely.‎ D．Being ploughed improperly.‎ 解析：选A　词义猜测题。分析画线词所在句可知，多年的风雨侵蚀，导致了土地中的营养大量流失。C项文中未提及，B、D两项不符合句意，可排除。‎ ‎3．According to the passage, which of the following statements is WRONG?‎ A．Perenniation mixes food crops with trees and perennial plants.‎ B．Poor soil is the main problem in increasing food production.‎ C．Farmers may be more to blame for the present situation.‎ D．American researchers first invented perenniation.‎ 解析：选D　细节理解题。由文章第六段第一句以及最后一句可知，这种系统早已经在非洲使用，所以这种系统并不是美国研究人员最先发明的。‎ ‎4．Why does John Reganold mention Rhoda Mang’yana?‎ A．To show the method is very popular in Africa.‎ B．Because she is an expert at farming production.‎ C．To prove the farming method is effective.‎ D．Because she produced more grains than anyone else in the country.‎ 解析：选C　推理判断题。根据文章最后两段可知，John Reganold提到Rhoda Mang’yana是为了证明这种种植方式是有效果的。‎ B ‎(2014·黄冈4月适应性测试)Mom was right! If you say thank you, for even the smallest gift or slightest show of kindness, you’ll feel happy.‎ Gratitude, says Robert A. Emmons, a professor or psychology at the University of California, is an important element of happiness. In his recent book, Thanks, Emmons uses the first major study on gratitude to prove mom’s point. In acknowledging and developing this muchignored expression of thankfulness, he explains how people have benefited — even improved their health.‎ As one of the leading scholars of the positive psychology movement, he admits gratitude may be difficult to express. He advises you to begin by admitting that life is good and full of events and elements that make daily existence a wonder. Second, recognize that the source of life’s goodness is more than just you. That source may be your mom, a friend, partner, child, colleague at work or play, or any combination of these. ‎ Gratitude is always otherdirected, notes Emmons. You can be pleased or angry with yourself and feel guilty about doing something wrong, but you can never be grateful to or for yourself. ‎ Expressing gratitude shouldn’t be a reaction; it should be a state of mind. To feel grateful when life is a breeze and you have more than you need is easy. To feel ‎ grateful in time of crisis — anger, hatred and bitterness — is easier. Also, too many people are aware of life’s blessings only after these are lost.‎ It’s crisis and chaos — danger, disease, disability and death — that bring many individuals to realize just how dependent they are on others. Yet it’s the way each of us begins life and ends it. It’s too bad that so many people waste those decades in between labouring under the illusion they are selfsufficient, says Emmons.‎ The abundance of voices expressing gratitude from his studies of individuals with chronic health problems is many. But Emmons goes beyond his “groundbreaking” science to make his case for gratitude by including the inspirational writings of philosophers, novelists and saints, as well as the beliefs of various religions and their respective scriptures. Taken together, these observations are summed up quite nicely by famous humanist Albert Schweitzer, who said the secret of life is “giving thanks for everything”. ‎ To enable and embrace gratitude, Emmons encourages the readers of Thanks to keep a gratitude diary. He even provides easytofollow directions on how to practice and develop gratitude. ‎ I’m not a reader or advocate of selfhelp books, but I am thankful for the reference I found in a newspaper article to the research Emmons was conducting on gratitude involving organ donors and recipients. The chance discovery led me to this book.‎ Mom implied that kindness seems to find its way back to the giver because life really is all about giving, receiving and repaying. So I’ll pay attention to her professional advice and say: Thank you, professor Emmons.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。文章主要围绕“感恩”这个主题并结合心理学教授Emmons的研究说明生活的真谛就是给予、接受和偿还。因此，要学会感恩，它是幸福的源泉。‎ ‎5．What is the text mainly discussed?‎ A．There are many ways of being thankful.‎ B．Gratitude is important to happiness.‎ C．Mom is great for her being thankful.‎ D．Being thankful will keep you fit.‎ 解析：选B　主旨大意题。通读全文并结合第二段第一句“Gratitude ... is an important element of happiness.”可知，B项正确。‎ ‎6．The author mentions Robert A.

group of famous people from the art world headed by an Austrian conductor decided to hold an international festival of music, dance and theatre in Edinburgh.The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War.‎ It quickly attracted famous names such as Alec Guinness, Richard Burton, Dame Margot Fonteyn and Marlene Dietrich as well as the big symphony orchestras (交响乐团)．It became a fixed event every August and now attracts 400,000 people yearly.‎ At the same time, the “Fringe” appeared as a challenge to the official festival.Eight theatre groups turned up uninvited in 1947, in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform, and they did so in a public house disused for years.‎ Soon, groups of students firstly from Edinburgh University, and later from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform theatre by littleknown writers of plays in small church halls to the people of Edinburgh.‎ Today the “Fringe”， once less recognized, has far outgrown the festival with around 1,500 performances of theatre, music and dance on every one of the 21 days it ‎ lasts.And yet as early as 1959, with only 19 theatre groups performing, some said it was getting too big.‎ A paid administrator was first employed only in 1971, and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself.In 2004 there were 200 places housing 1,695 shows by over 600 different groups from 50 different countries.More than 1.25 million tickets were sold.‎ ‎[题目试做](建议用时：7分钟)‎ ‎40．What was the purpose of Edinburgh Festival at the beginning?‎ A．To bring Europe together again.‎ B．To honor heroes of World War Ⅱ.‎ C．To introduce young theatre groups.‎
