第三部分：阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
阅读下面的短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
Scientists are trying to make the deserts into good land again. They want to bring water to the deserts, so people can live and grow food. They are learning a lot about the deserts. But more and more earth is becoming deserts all the time. Scientists may not be able to change the deserts. Scientists think that people make deserts. People are doing bad things to the earth.

Some places on the earth don't get very much rain. But they still don't become deserts. This is because some green plants are growing there. Small green plants and grass are very helpful to dry places. Plants don't let the hot sun make the earth even drier. Plants don't let the wind blow the earth away. When a little bit of rain falls, the plants hold the water. Without plants, the land can become a desert much more easily.
文章大意：由于土地沙漠化，农田面积在减少，如何使沙漠变良田，植被作用至关重要。科学家们正在为此努力。
56．Small green plants are very important to dry places because ________.
A．they don't let the sun make the earth even drier
B．they don't let the wind blow the earth away
C．they hold the water
D．all of the above
答案：D　细节理解题。由原文第二段内容可知，A、B、C三项均可，所以选择D项。all of the above表示“以上所有的(选项)”。
57．Which is the main idea of the first paragraph?
A．Scientists know how to change deserts into good land.
B．Land is becoming deserts faster than scientists can change it back into good land.
C．If scientists can bring water to deserts, people can live and grow food there.
D．More and more places are becoming deserts all the time.
答案：B　段落大意题。由第一段和现实可知，土地沙漠化的速度要比科学家尽力使沙漠变良田的速度快，B项完整。其他三个选项都很片面，不能概括整个段落的含义。
58．After reading this passage, we learn that ________.
A．plants can keep dry land from becoming deserts
B．it is good to get rid of the grass in the deserts
C．all places without much rain will become deserts
D．it is better to grow crops on dry land than to grow grass
答案：A　推理判断题。由文章可知，植被对控制土地沙漠化起主要的作用，A项正确。其他三个选项不符合文意。
B
Can better food create better people? This is the true idea that is driving the development of today's farming quickly.

The future food is the best food. Scientists will put real­time sensors into our bodies that can read the information of what our bodies need. A personal health system will be able to study the information that the sensor provides before making a food order. Then the order will go to the local food supplier，who will get in touch with the food maker on the farm. The entire supply will be controlled by computer according to the needs of the end user. Food from restaurants will come in over a million kinds. Customers will be able to order the food that is really good for their health.
By 2050, a farm will use technologies that will leave today's farming far behind. A farm, as shown by Despommier, a farming scientist，will be a 30­storey­tall building and used to grow plants without soil. The farms of the future will grow half­plant, half­animal products, and people will be able to control nature. Special crops will be grown in this controlled special space, such as short stalk corn, personalized fruits and vegetables.
Besides growing food, new ways will be found to “grow” products. We will also be able to control plants in other ways. For example, we will some day be able to “train” a tree to grow its branches into the shape of tables, coffee tables, chairs, or rocking chairs. Once these unusual branches are fully grown，farmers can walk up to the tree and harvest the rocking chairs by cutting them off, which is the same as harvesting apples or pears.
The entire production area in the future will be managed by a robot that travels up and down doing all the necessary jobs of planting, weeding, watering, and harvesting.
59．The real­time sensors in our bodies will find out ________.
A．what we like and what we hate
B．whether we are healthy or not
C．how much food we need
D．what food our bodies need
答案：D　细节理解题。根据第二段“The future food is the best food.Scientists will put real­time sensors into our bodies that can read the information of what our bodies need.”可知应选D项。
60．The food order goes to the local food supplier so that ________.
A．the needs of the end user will be well met
B．the food supplier will not waste any money
C．the food maker will know how to grow plants
D．the food supplier will know what healthy food is
答案：A　细节理解题。根据第二段“Then the order will go to the local food supplier... according to the needs of the end user.”可知需要什么食物的信息最终传递到食物生产者那儿，目的是满足最终用户的需要。故选A项。
61．What can we infer from Paragraph 3?
A．Crops will take longer to grow by 2050.
B．In the future，there will be no animal products.
C．Crops in the future will be very different from today's.
D．Crops in the future will grow without sunshine, water, or soil.
答案：C　推理判断题。根据第三段的首句和最后两句可推断未来的农作物和我们现在农场的农作物会有很大的不同。
62．What does the example of producing chairs on trees show?
A．No furniture will be made.
B．Humans can control plants.
C．Trees can produce everything.
D．Fruit will be in the shape of tables.
答案：B　推理判断题。根据第四段第二句“We will also be able to control plants in other ways.”及后面的举例可知，那个例子是用来表明我们可以控制植物的。
C
Nearly all our food comes from the soil. Some of us eat meat, of course, but animals live on plants. If there were no plants, we would have no animals and no meat. So the soil is very necessary for life. The top of the ground is usually covered with grass or other plants. There may be dead leaves and dead plants on the grass. The waste matter(粪) from animals also falls on it.
All soil needs food. If we do not give it any, the plants will be weak. Farmers found that animals' waste is the best food for the soil, but chemical fertilizers(化肥) are also very useful. The same crop should not be grown in the same place every year; it's better to have a different crop. A change of crop and the use of a good fertilizer will keep the land good.
文章大意：本文为议论文，文章认为几乎所有的食物都来自土壤，而土壤同样需要食物，并对此给出了重要的见解。
63．What would happen first without plants?
A．People would have more crops.
B．Animals would die.
C．There would be more food.
D．There would be less soil.
答案：B　细节理解题。由第一段第三句“If there were no plants，we would have no animals and no meat.”可知如果没有了植物，我们就没有了动物和肉类，B项符合语境。
64．What does the writer tell us in the first paragraph?
A．Leaves, plants, grass and waste live on each other.
B．There would be no animals without meat.
C．There would be no plants without animals.
D．People, animals, plants and soil live on each other.
答案：D　段落大意题。第一段主要讲人、动物、植物和土壤的生存彼此依赖，互相联系，故选D。
65．Which is the best food for soil in the field?
A．Chemical fertilizers. B．Plants and grass.
C．Animals' waste. D．Different crops.
答案：C　细节理解题。由第二段第三句“Farmers found that animals' waste is the best food for the soil...”可知选C。
66．Why do we often grow a different crop in the same place every year?
A．Because we can keep the soil rich this way.
