Passage 2 (2024 贵州贵阳一模)
主题:闾山的转变 词数:375 难度:★★★☆☆
The Luling Mountains in Jinzhou,Liaoning Province,used to be a deserted area without
even a single tree.Now,it is a leafy paradise for birds,and tourists are flooding in.The huge
transformation has occurred thanks to the consistent efforts of Tian Wangui,67,and his wife
Lu Min,63,over nearly half a century.
In 1982,the couple contracted the land-use rights of the two mountains near their
home.They intended to plant fruit trees in the mountains to make a living.Back then,the
mountains were deserted with no trees at all.To help the seedlings(树苗) they planted survive

【www.xue-ba.org 12 年学霸网】
in the barren(贫瘠的) land,the couple had to carry water to the mountains on their
backs.They also bought whatever seeds were available from a nearby forest farm and spread
them every spring,hoping to afforest the mountains.With such an extensive planting
method,however,they initially failed to see many seeds take root in the barren soil.But the
couple didn’t give up.
The couple’s perseverance finally paid off.They discovered that some tree species were
tough enough to survive,including pine and mulberry.Now,more than 50,000 trees of over 20
species cover the land they contracted,following their consistent efforts to sow tree seeds year
after year.
As the mountains became lush(郁郁葱葱),Tian and Lu were charged with a new task—
patrolling(巡逻) their nearly 67 hectares of forest every day to prevent fires.The patrol even
didn’t stop on the eve of last year’s Chinese Lunar New Year.Instead of watching the CCTV
Spring Festival Gala on Jan.21st like most Chinese,the couple went to patrol the mountains
with the families of their son and daughter.“Many people set off fireworks to mark the arrival
of the new year,so the holiday is a time when we have to stay cautious against fire threats,”
Tian said.
The couple has no plans to quit their work,and they hope their children will follow in
their footsteps.“We cherish the mountains and trees as we cherish our own children,” Lu
said.“Even as we grow old,they will continue to patrol the woods and watch over the birds.”

Passage 3 (2024 河南新乡二模)
主题:沙漠变成种植园 词数:377 难度:★★★★☆
Climate change is causing more areas to turn into deserts.This issue is affecting the lives
of 250 million people as land that used to be good for farming becomes dry and
unproductive.Around one-third of the world’s land is impacted,including regions in
Africa,southern Europe,Asia and America.
【www.xue-ba.org 12 年学霸网】
【www.xue-ba.org 12 年学霸网】
Sand to Green is a Moroccan company that can transform a patch of desert into a
sustainable and profitable plantation in five years,according to Wissal Ben Moussa,its co-
founder and chief agricultural officer.The solution is using agroforestry (农林业) to create a
new kind of agriculture that is sustainable and that can be resilient (有适应力的) in front of
climate change.
The system can be set up close to any source of salty water,which Sand to Green cleans
using energy from the sun.It then grows different types of fruit trees and plants together in the
same area—a method called mixed planting—and waters the plants’ roots directly with the
cleaned water,to reduce water loss to the air.The soil is regenerated using what Sand to Green
calls “green manure”,a mixture that includes compost,biochar(生物炭) and microorganisms
that help the soil “wake up”.Biochar is a form of charcoal that can help dry soil hold on to
water.
In a five-hectare trial in southern Morocco that’s been running since 2017,Sand to Green
has tried out a variety of plants in search of the best performers.Among the intercropping
herbs (草本植物) that have been successfully trialed are rosemary,geranium,vetiver and
citronella,which Ben Moussa describes as “very low-maintenance and very high-profit”.
Sand to Green is now working to scale up to a 20-hectare commercial site,also in
southern Morocco.It says a site of that size would cost around $475,000 to set up and would
start bringing financial returns in about five years.
According to Ben Moussa,with this system they create biodiversity,which means better
soil,healthier crops and a bigger yield.The plantation can generate 1.5 times more yield,thus
making more money than a farm that grows only one type of crop in the same space.

of agriculture that is sustainable and that can be resilient in front of climate change.”以及第
三段中“The soil is regenerated using what Sand to Green calls ‘green manure’,a mixture
that includes compost,biochar and microorganisms that help the soil ‘wake up’.”可知,“Sand
to Green”采用农林业是因为可以保持作物的存活率。
10.What can we learn about Sand to Green?
A.It aims to plant more trees.
B.It earns a good reputation.
C.It develops new plants.
D.It produces good results.
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Among the intercropping herbs that have been

describes as ‘very low-maintenance and very high-profit’.”可推知,“从沙到绿”产生了良好
的效果。
11.What does the underlined phrase “scale up” mean in paragraph 5?
A.Expand.
B.Object.
C.Refer.
D.Prefer.
答案 A
解析 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“In a five-hectare trial...since 2017”及第五段中“to a
20-hectare commercial site”可知,此处为“Sand to Green”目前正在努力将试验区由5 公顷
扩大到20 公顷的商业用地。故可猜测画线短语scale up 为“扩大”的意思,与A 项
Expand“扩大”意思一致。
