Unit 2 Working the land随着社会变迁和时代发展，农业会向哪个方向发展呢？The Future of Farming,More and more people around the world areliving in urban areas, and the need for highquality fresh food is rising.At the same time,new homes, apartment buildings, shopping centers and roads are replacing fertile land near cities.That makes growing crops in tall buildings an interesting solution.In Dallas, Texas, a company called Green Habitat Hydroponics(GHH), sells vertical farming supplies(垂直农业用品)．“You can control anything and everything you want to with hydroponics (the process of growing plants in sand, small stones, or water with added nutrients but no soil)，”Kris Maxwell, a sales employee at GHH said.“For example, certain plants need certain nutrients and pH levels.But don’t worry.You can change the hydroponic solution(溶液) by adding or taking away nutrients, or by changing the pH level, or even by controlling the amount of a water in solution, sothat plants get all the nutrients and water requirements they need.There are even different solutions for certain stages in the plant’s growth.”In this indoor environment, LED lights, which are environmentally friendly, take the place of the sun.Heaters, coolers, and special machines control the temperature and humidity(湿度)．Up to 300 plants can grow in one container unit.GHH also sells aeroponic systems.With this system, plants are placed in huge containers where only the roots are put in a solution.Nutrientrich wastes from fish, for example, are filtered(过滤) and sent through the system.“The good thing about this method is that no fertilizers have to be used because the fish produce all of the necessary nutrients，” Maxwell said.“Another advantage of vertical farming is that no insects or other pests will damage your crops.”What do you think？Does vertical farming have a bright future？Section ⅠWarming Up & Reading—Comprehending 重点单词写作词汇1.struggle vi.& n. 斗争；拼搏；努力2.decade n. 十年；十年期3.expand vt.& vi. 使变大；伸展4.rid vt. 摆脱；除去5.therefore adv. 因此；所以；因而6.crop n. 庄稼；农作物；产量拓展词汇7.hunger n．饥饿；欲望vt.& vi.(使)饥饿→hungry adj.饥饿的8.disturbing adj.引起烦恼的；令人不安的→disturbed adj.扰乱的；精神失常的→disturb vt.扰乱；打扰9.freedom n．自由；自主→free adj.自由的；免费的→freely adv.自由地；随意地10.equip vt.& vi.配备；装备→equipment n．设备(不可数)11.export vt.& vi.输出；出口→import vt.& vi.(反义词)输入；进口12.personality n．性格；个性；人格→personal adj.个人的；身体的；亲自的→personally adv.亲自地；当面；个别地；就自己而言阅读词汇13.statistic n. 数据；统计；统计数字；统计资料14.sunburnt adj. 晒黑的15.super adj. 特级的；超级的16.output n. 产量；输出17.circulate vt.& vi. 循环；流传18.grain n. 谷物；粮食；颗粒19.peanut n. 花生20.occupation n. 工作；职业；占领重点短语1.thanks__to 幸亏；由于；因为2.rid...of 使……摆脱或除去3.be__satisfied__with 对……感到满意4.care__about 关心；在乎5.would__rather 宁愿；宁可6.make__a__difference 有关系；有影响重点句型1.if so省略句式：If__so(如果这样), what did you do to grow them？2.what引导名词性从句：Yuan Longping growswhat__is__called(被称为……) super hybrid rice.3.make it＋形容词＋动词不定式：This special strain of rice makes__it__possible__to(使……成为可能) produce 20% more of the crop in the same fields.4.倍数表达法：Using his hybrid rice, farmers are producing harvests twice__as__large__as__before(以前的两倍大).ⅠFastreadingSkim the text and do the following exercises.1．What’s the main idea of the text?A．Ways to increase the rice output.B．Yuan Longping’s dreams.C．Yuan Longping’s super hybrid rice.D．Yuan Longping—an agricultural pioneer.答案：D2．Match the main idea of each paragraph.Para.1 A．Yuan Longping’s brief life experiences.Para.2 B．Yuan Longping’s dreams.Para.3 C．Yuan Longping’s attitudes toward life.Para.4 D．Yuan Longping’s achievements in the improvements on rice production.答案：DACBⅡCarefulreadingRead the text carefully and choose the best answer.1．Why did Yuan Longping want to develop a new species of rice in the 1950s?A．Because he wanted to win an award.B．Because he wanted to ca tch others’ eye.C．Because hunger was a disturbing problem in China.D．Because his hometown suffered from drought.2．How long did it take Yuan Longping to develop his super hybrid rice?A．12 years.
