9、的蜜蜂發(fā)出的聲音后還會被繼續(xù)嚇跑，她還沒有將這一現(xiàn)象在足夠多的大象群體中檢驗，由此可以推斷她還需做足夠多的實驗。4解析：選C。細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第一句可知，2002年Lucy和她的隊員就發(fā)現(xiàn)大象會避開住著蜜蜂的樹。故C項表述是正確的。BOrganicfarmingisabigpictureexercise.Itsnotonlytargetedatthisseasonsresults,butconsidersfuturegenerations.Inthelongrunitmakesbettereconomicsenseaswell.Butitsmaingoalistocontributeto

18、alagriculture【語篇導(dǎo)讀】本文通過幾個方面說明有機農(nóng)業(yè)為什么會對環(huán)境有好處。5解析：選B。主旨大意題。本文通過幾個方面說明有機農(nóng)業(yè)為什么會對環(huán)境有好處。文章第一段為主題段，下面各段都是圍繞這一主題段進行說明的。6解析：選D。推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句Buttheorganicallygrownfoodcontained50%lessfertilizerand97%lesspesticides.可知，有機農(nóng)產(chǎn)品含有的肥料少，含有的農(nóng)藥更少，由此可以推斷，這種有機農(nóng)產(chǎn)品對人的身體有益。7解析：選C。作者意圖猜測題。文章第三段說明應(yīng)用農(nóng)藥不僅會使害蟲產(chǎn)生免疫，而且還會污染水源，影響野

19、生動物、土壤和生態(tài)系統(tǒng)。這一切都是應(yīng)用農(nóng)藥所產(chǎn)生的巨大危害。故選C。C(2017遼寧沈陽檢測)Oncetherewasayoungfarmerwhohadanappointmentwithhislovertomeetunderabigtree.Hewasshorttemperedandcameveryearly.Itwasafinespringdaywithflowersinfullbloom盛開),buthewasntinthemoodtoenjoyit.Suddenlyanangelturnedupbeforehim.“Yougetimpatient,dontyou？”saidtheang

25、flifeisnotfun.【語篇導(dǎo)讀】一個農(nóng)夫得到了天使給他的一個寶貝，通過使用這個寶貝，他可以提前體驗到人生的任何階段，但是在他體驗到了新婚的快樂、家庭的美好等之后，他才意識到：人生要一步一個腳印才有意義。8解析：B。細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的“Ifyoudontwant.Youcanjumpoveranylifeperiodifyouwantto.”可知，通過使用按鈕，農(nóng)夫可以到達人生的任何一個階段；據(jù)此可知，用此按鈕，可以縮短未來的時間，故B項正確。9解析：選D。細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段的第六句可知，通過使用按鈕，農(nóng)夫體驗到了令人滿意的婚禮和美妙的音樂；根據(jù)第三段的第九句可知，農(nóng)夫體驗到了

26、家庭生活的美好，故排除A、B、C項。由第四段的第二句可知，應(yīng)選D項。10解析：選C。詞義猜測題。根據(jù)最后一段的第二句“Betterletmewaitpatiently！”可知，農(nóng)夫意識到他應(yīng)耐心地等候；結(jié)合畫線詞所在句中的“disappearedcompletely”可知，這時他的急躁完全消失了。故畫線詞意為“不耐煩，急躁”。故選C項。11解析：選A。推理判斷題。通讀全文可知，本文主要講述的是一個農(nóng)夫得到了天使給他的一個寶貝，通過使用這個寶貝，他可以提前體驗到人生的任何階段，但是在他體驗到了新婚的快樂、家庭的美好等之后，他才意識到：人生要一步一個腳印才有意義。據(jù)此可判斷，A項正確。D“Here

35、選A。14解析：選B。從第三段可知，這個老師認為，學(xué)生們通過這種實地考察，然后可以了解農(nóng)場里的真正生活。15解析：選C。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段可知，在他的這個農(nóng)場里游客們可以現(xiàn)場品嘗酒。.七選五Historyisarecordofwhathashappenedinthepast._1_Thereallyfascinatingthingisthatmuchofhistoryhasbeenrepeatedtimeandagain.Itallowsustolearnfromthepast，boththemistakesandthesuccesses.Oneofthebenefitsofhistoryisreadinghowotherpeoplehaveovercometremendouschallengesintheirlife.Thesechallenges，althoughparticulartoaperson，ortoacertaintimeinthepast，oroccurringin
