8、ginthem.DFarmersdonotallowLucytoconducttestsintheirfields.【語(yǔ)篇導(dǎo)讀】本文介紹了一項(xiàng)有趣的科學(xué)實(shí)驗(yàn)，科學(xué)家通過大量實(shí)驗(yàn)來驗(yàn)證小蜜蜂能否有效阻止龐然大物非洲大象損壞農(nóng)作物。1解析：選D。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三、四段Lucy所做的實(shí)驗(yàn)可知大象可能會(huì)被生氣的蜜蜂嚇跑。2解析：選A。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段可知Lucy在一棵樹上找到了一個(gè)蜂窩，并且安裝了一個(gè)錄音機(jī)，她扔石頭的目的是想惹蜜蜂生氣，然后發(fā)出聲音，從而錄制其聲音；第四段開頭也提到了她錄制好的聲音。故選A。3解析：選B。推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段可知Lucy現(xiàn)在正在研究是否大象在幾次聽到生氣

9、的蜜蜂發(fā)出的聲音后還會(huì)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(yàn)，由此可以推斷她還需做足夠多的實(shí)驗(yàn)。4解析：選C。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第一句可知，2002年Lucy和她的隊(duì)員就發(fā)現(xiàn)大象會(huì)避開住著蜜蜂的樹。故C項(xiàng)表述是正確的。BOrganicfarmingisabigpictureexercise.Itsnotonlytargetedatthisseasonsresults,butconsidersfuturegenerations.Inthelongrunitmakesbettereconomicsenseaswell.Butitsmaingoalistocontributeto

18、alagriculture【語(yǔ)篇導(dǎo)讀】本文通過幾個(gè)方面說明有機(jī)農(nóng)業(yè)為什么會(huì)對(duì)環(huán)境有好處。5解析：選B。主旨大意題。本文通過幾個(gè)方面說明有機(jī)農(nóng)業(yè)為什么會(huì)對(duì)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(jìn)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(jī)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(jī)農(nóng)產(chǎn)品對(duì)人的身體有益。7解析：選C。作者意圖猜測(cè)題。文章第三段說明應(yīng)用農(nóng)藥不僅會(huì)使害蟲產(chǎn)生免疫，而且還會(huì)污染水源，影響野

19、生動(dòng)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(yáng)檢測(cè))Oncetherewasayoungfarmerwhohadanappointmentwithhislovertomeetunderabigtree.Hewasshorttemperedandcameveryearly.Itwasafinespringdaywithflowersinfullbloom盛開),buthewasntinthemoodtoenjoyit.Suddenlyanangelturnedupbeforehim.“Yougetimpatient,dontyou？”saidtheang

25、flifeisnotfun.【語(yǔ)篇導(dǎo)讀】一個(gè)農(nóng)夫得到了天使給他的一個(gè)寶貝，通過使用這個(gè)寶貝，他可以提前體驗(yàn)到人生的任何階段，但是在他體驗(yàn)到了新婚的快樂、家庭的美好等之后，他才意識(shí)到：人生要一步一個(gè)腳印才有意義。8解析：B。細(xì)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(dá)人生的任何一個(gè)階段；據(jù)此可知，用此按鈕，可以縮短未來的時(shí)間，故B項(xiàng)正確。9解析：選D。細(xì)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(yàn)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(yàn)到了

26、家庭生活的美好，故排除A、B、C項(xiàng)。由第四段的第二句可知，應(yīng)選D項(xiàng)。10解析：選C。詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)最后一段的第二句“Betterletmewaitpatiently！”可知，農(nóng)夫意識(shí)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(shí)他的急躁完全消失了。故畫線詞意為“不耐煩，急躁”。故選C項(xiàng)。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(gè)農(nóng)夫得到了天使給他的一個(gè)寶貝，通過使用這個(gè)寶貝，他可以提前體驗(yàn)到人生的任何階段，但是在他體驗(yàn)到了新婚的快樂、家庭的美好等之后，他才意識(shí)到：人生要一步一個(gè)腳印才有意義。據(jù)此可判斷，A項(xiàng)正確。D“Here
