bags are designed to keep air out of crops in storage.they are a simple way to fight insects and keep food fresh.ten countries in west and central africa are involved in a project to improve the storage of cowpeas,also known as black-eyed peas.farmers can lose much of the harvest to insects called bruchids.these grow from egg to adult in a few weeks and then lay forty to sixty more eggs.they can destroy the whole harvest within months.farmers can sell their crop immediately.but selling at harvest time means more competition and lower prices.or they can use pesticides (杀虫剂) to kill the bugs.but crop scientist dieudonne baributsa says,“they end up misusing or overusing the pesticide.in nigeria,they have reported a lot of cases of death.they usually call it in nigeria killer bean.”mr.baributsa is a researcher at purdue university in the american state of indiana.the project is called pics,for purdue improved cowpea storage.he says the storage bags are thick enough that any insects already in the cowpeas will die from lack of oxygen.the lack of air will also help prevent the growth of bacteria that can ruin the harvest.the bags cost about two dollars each.mr.baributsa says that is not much,especially if it means farmers can wait long enough to get a better price for their crop.the bags are produced locally.donors currently support the project,but the groups involved are working to build a lasting market for the bags because donor support for the project will not last forever.a company based in the united states called grainpro makes another kind of airtight bag.these are called supergrainbags.phil villers,the companys president,says safely storing a harvest not only earns more money for farmers,it also reduces the amount of food lost to insects,spoilage and mishandling.“what does not get wasted and eaten means it is available to feed a hungry world,”said phil villers.1.whats the best title for this passage?()a.simple bags save the harvestb.plastic bags: the enemy of insectsc.good news for hungry worldd.pesticides threaten food safety2.it can be inferred that bruchids .a.steal the stored crop for the futureb.breed slowly in the stored harvestc.survive in airtight plastic bagsd.multiply while the crop is in storage3.how does “killer bean” come out? ()a.the pesticide causes many deaths of bugs.b.people eat beans that are infected by bugs.c.farmers use chemicals to kill bugs improperly.d.bugs ruin beans within a short time.4.which statement of the following is not true? ()a.insects in the bags will soon use up the air and then die.b.the airtight plastic bags currently sold at the market do not last long.c.the project provides the farmers with the bags for free at present.d.what farmers can earn from the use of the bag is far more than they have to pay.语篇解读:虫害一直是农民的心头大患,这不仅危害农作物的生长,还浪费了许多粮食。最新的农业科技给人们带来了福音,那就是用密封袋来保护农作物以远离虫害。答案及剖析:1.a主旨大意题。由第一段(主题段)及全文内容可知,一种密封塑料袋在不使用任何化学药品的前提下,能够保护农民的收成不受虫害影响。故simple bags save the harvest最能概括全文的中心。2.d推理判断题。由第二段的第二、三、四句内容可知,bruchids是一种在粮食储藏过程中繁殖很快的昆虫,它们能够在几个星期内长成成虫,产下40到60个甚至更多的虫卵。d项中multiply有“增加;繁殖”之意。3.c细节理解题。由第三段的内容可知,农民们使用杀虫剂来杀虫,由于他们错用或过量使用,使粮食遭到污染,从而造成食用者死亡,故“杀手豆”来源于农民不正当地使用杀虫剂。4.b细节理解题。由倒数第二段的最后一句话.donor support for the project will not last forever可知,持续不长的是赞助商的支持,而不是塑料袋,故选b项。由倒数第二段.insects already in the cowpeas will die from lack of oxygen.可排除a项; 由倒数第二段的donors currently support the project.可知,目前密封塑料袋是免费由赞助商提供,故排除c项;由倒数第二段的the bags cost about two dollars each.get a better price for their crop可排除d项。【疑难词汇解读】1.storage n.储存;仓库the collection has been in storage for decades.这些收藏品已保管了几十年。2.mishandle v.处理不当;错误地处理mishandling the problem has caused great trouble.对这个问题处理不当已经引起了很大的麻烦。【长难句子分析】 he主语 says谓语 the storage bags are thick enough (that any insects宾语从句already in the cowpeas will die from lack of oxygen)状语从句.宾语从句 他说这种密封袋非常厚,任何已经进入牛豆中的虫子都会因缺少氧气而死亡。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (a、b、c和d) 中, 选出最佳选项。(2013福建，c)this is what a real silver dollar looks likeif you trust in the yen, the euro, and the dollar. stop reading. because this is a story about the silver coin everybody wants.you read the headlines. you know that troubled economic times have put global currency on a rollercoaster (过山车) ride. but millions have found a smarter way to build longterm value with highgrade collectable silver. and right now, those people are lining up to secure some of the last 2012 u. s. mint silver eagles, americas newest silver eagle dollars. today, you can graduate to the front of that line. buy now and you can own these brilliant uncirculated silver dollars for only $38.95!you cant afford to losewhy are we releasing (发行) this silver dollar for such a remarkable price?
