People can’t survive without food. Long ago, early people couldn’t grow crops, so they hadto live by hunting animals and gathering grains. After a tribe(部落) had livedin an area for some time, its food supply would begin to reduce. Then the tribehad to move to new hunting grounds where there was more food.This way of life caused special problems for the tribes. They were forced todepend on luck, as well as on their hunting skills. If they could find no game, the whole tribe would be in danger of starving. And when the hunters had good luck one day, they were not sure to find game the next time. The tribes moved often because much land was needed to support their people.As time passed by, people learned that they could grow their food. At first, the women of tribes collected patches of wild grain. Later, people discovered that they could plant their own seeds. Farming slowly became a way of life.As people turned away from hunting to farming, their life changed. When the food supply became richer and richer, they no longer moved from place to place. The success of their crops depended partly on the weather, but there were also things they could do to help crops grow.In the past, a tribe had to travel many miles for food. Now, only a small amount of land was necessary to feed the whole tribe. The early tribe could grow in size because farming provided a way to feed people.【语篇概述】人要生存就离不开食物，我们的祖先最初是靠种植来获取食物的吗？阅读本篇了解一下种植是如何成为人类的一种生存方式的。

Unit 2 Working the landSection ⅠWarming Up & Reading—PrereadingⅠ.阅读理解ABanker Chip Paillex had never planted so much until he moved to the countryside in Pittstown，New Jersey，seven years ago.Surrounded by working farms，he quickly became interested i n the growityourself idea and rented a piece of 30by30foot land. He planted tomatoes, eggplants and other vegetables－enough to feed his family of four for the summer. He ended up with so much produce; he couldn't give it away. He found a local food factory, and donated (捐赠) 120 pounds of fresh vegetables.The following year, with a handful of volunteers and a memorable name －America's GrowaRow, Paillex harvested 1,500 pounds of fresh vegetables, all of which he donated to area food banks, places that give food to poor people. Soon Paillex had a hundred volunteers and needed more land. He visited Meredith and Jeremy Compton, who farm Peaceful Valley Orchards in Pittstown. Could he work their land?“I guess we were feeling honored，” says Mered ith. Not only do the Comptons welcome GrowaRow volunteers, they also work on the land.What began with a few empty fields has turned into a large local farm. This year, GrowaRow will deliver about 250,000 pounds of fresh produce to food banks. Th eir secret for getting all of this done? Family power. “Each week, a couple of families ‘own’ the garden，” says Paillex. “They water, pick, and deliver, and then hand it off on Sunday night to the next group of families.”Paillex also welcomes local school kids. On a Friday morning in May, some kids worked on a field. “We're growing food，” one fifth grader said proudly.“The program shows kids that there are people in need，” says Paillex. “When these kids become tomorrow's leaders, they'll be mu ch more likely to encourage their coworkers or employees to get involved in (参与) something like this.”“Chip makes people want to help，” says Colleen Duerr, a mother of two. “And families love this. Chip has given us a way to raise our kids with a giv ing heart.”【文章大意】本文是记叙文。

They grow between 4 and 6 m in length－a similar size to the beluga whale. But it is not difficult to tell narwhals from beluga whales.Male (雄性的) narwhals have a great spiraled (螺旋形的) tooth that comes out from their heads, making them different from beluga whales. The long tooth can reach up to 3 m in length and grows continually to replace wear (磨损). Researchers are unsure of the right purpose of the tooth. Some believe it is used to attract a mate, while others believe it is used to fight. One researcher believes that the tooth has the ability to notice changes in water temperature. Narwhals also differ from belugas in skin color. Adult belugas are white, while narwhals have black and white mottled (杂色的) skin.Like many other whales, narwhals travel in groups. Their groups have 1520 whales. Sometimes several small groups will meet in groups of up to 100 whales, although it is hard to get the right numbers. Narwhals have proven difficult for researchers to track, mainly due to the cold and icy water conditions and the fact that narwhals do not come very close to shore.Searching for food mainly on the bottom of the sea, narwhals dive on average 800 m, but can go twice that deep. The dives last around 25 minutes. In the summer, narwhals don't feed very often, having stored up enough energy during the winter feeding season. They return to the same feeding grounds each year.【文章大意】本文是说明文。

2018年秋季高中英语 Unit 2 Working the land Period 1 Warming Up

Unit 2 Working the land Period 1 Warming Up & Reading课后阅读作业Ⅰ. 阅读理解A“Eat local. ”It’s one way to reduce human effect on the planet. Eatinglocal means to try to buy and consume foods that are grown in places close tohome. However, most of the food sold at supermarkets is not locally grown orproduced. Trucks and planes deliver these foods from hundreds or thousands ofmiles away. During the transportation, greenhouse(温室)gases are produced, causing global warming. So the shorter the distance your foods must travel, the less the harm is done to the environment.But how do you get local food if you live in a large city, hundreds of miles away from farms? Environmental health scientist Dickson Despommier and his students came up with the idea of a“vert ical(垂直的)farm”.A vertical farm is a glass-walled structure that could be built as tall as a skyscraper(摩天大楼). Since the garden is built upwards, rather than outwards, it requires much less space than an ordinary farm. The world is quickly running out of room for ordinary farming. Vertical farms could be a key to this situation. Despommier imagines a 30-story building with a greenhouse on every floor. The walls of the building would be clear, to allow crops to get as much sunlight as possible. Depending on a city’s water resources, Despommier thinks hydroponic(水培的)farming is another method for the vertical farm which needs no soil to grow plants.Despommier says the hydroponic greenhouses would use a system that would use a city’s waste water and fill it with nutrition to make the crops grow. If this method works, it would provide food to a city and save millions of tons of water.The idea of a vertical farm has attracted the attention of government officials around the world. Scott Stringer, a government official from New York City, thinks the city is suitable for the vertical farming. “Obviously we don’t have much land left for us, ”Stringer said. “But the sky is the limit in Manhattan. ”Despommier admits that there is still a lot of work to do to make vertical farms a reality. “But I think vertical farming is an idea that can work in a big way, ”he says.【语篇概述】本文向大家介绍了一种新的种植方式——垂直农场。
