farmland in africa is often lacking in important nutrients.but researchers say a combination of farming methods may help.researchers wonder how to increase production without necessarily clearing more land to grow additional crops.american researchers say that can happen with greater use of an agricultural system called perenniation.it mixes food crops with trees and perennial plantsthose that return year after year.soil scientist john reganold says，“one of the major problems is that the soils are fairly poor in most of the regions.so how do you grow food crops on poor soils？there have to be food production systems that can build the soil and improve the yield.”mr.reganold says poor soil may have resulted from years of weathering that washed away many nutrients.he says some farmers may have done more harm than good.“they have been actually using farming practices where theyre not putting in organic matter.theyre not putting in fertilizers.they cant afford those things.and it just runs the soil down.so theyre worsening the situation.”the scientist says the word perenniation defines three systems that are already used in africa.the oldest of the three is called evergreen agriculture.this is where farmers plant trees with their crops.farmers in africa have been doing this for sixty years，and it seems to be growing in popularity.the method is gaining widespread use in countries such as niger，burkina faso，malawi and zambia.the trees are planted among maize(玉米)，millet or sorghum crops.they not only add nitrogen(氮) to the soil through their roots，but also through their leaves when they fall off and break down.at other times of the year，the trees can protect plants from strong sunlight.john reganold says he knows of one woman who has had great success with perenniation.“shes a grandmother in her fifties.her name is rhoda mangyana and she started using this system about twenty years ago.and her yields initially were about a ton of maize.now with a good year she gets four tons per hectare，four times what she was getting.”26the purpose of the passage is to_.atell people how to increase productionbintroduce an agricultural system in africacintroduce the oldest farming method in africadtell us how to prevent soil being poor27what does the underlined word “weathering” in paragraph 4 most probably mean?abeing exposed to wind and rain.bgrowing different crops.cbeing polluted severely.dbeing ploughed improperly.28according to the passage，which of the following statements is wrong?aperenniation mixes food crops with trees and perennial plants.bpoor soil is the main problem in increasing food production.cfarmers may be more to blame for the present situation.damerican researchers first invented perenniation.29evergreen agriculture is popular with the farmers mainly because it_.acan build the soil and improve the yieldbcan provide more wood as wellcis the easiest method to carry outdis used for a long time30why does john reganold mention rhoda mangyana?ato show the method is very popular in africa.bbecause she is an expert at farming production.cto prove the farming method is effective.dbecause she produces more grains than anyone else in the country.bfor years i wanted a flower garden，but with five children i was too busy to have one.money was limited，and so was time.often one of the children would want something that cost too much，and i would say，“do you see a money tree outside？money doesnt grow on trees，you know.”finally，when all five had gotten through high school and college，and had started having their own families，i started thinking again about having a garden.however，i knew gardens cost money.and after all these years i was used to living on a pretty lean，nofrills budget.then，one spring morning on mothers day，as i was working in my kitchen，i heard cars drive by and looked out of the window to see a new tree planted in my yard.i couldnt believe my eyes！it was a money tree！dollar bills were stuck all over that tree，and there was a note which read，“i owe you eight hours of digging time.love，marvin.”marvin，my first son，kept this promise，too.he dug up a nice tenbyfifteenfoot bed for me.my other children bought me tools，a sunflower stepping stone and gardening books.we built a garden together.that was three years ago.my garden is now very pretty，and just what id always wanted.when i go out to weed or tend my flowers，i dont seem to miss my children as much as i once did.it feels as if they were right there with me.when i think about what my children have done for me，i get tears in my eyes every time.im still not sure whether money grows on trees.but i know love does.31the text is meant to tell us_.aa love story between mother and childrenbhow to grow your own money treeca mothers dream of having a gardendhow to bring up children32why couldnt the author have a garden of her own according to the text?aher children didnt like garden.bshe didnt have enough time and money.cnobody wanted to get one for her.dthere was no need for a garden.33which is similar in meaning to the underlined word “nofrills” in paragraph 2?awasteful. bhelpful.chopeful. dtight.34marvins promise was to_.abuy a money tree for his motherbbuy gardening books for his mothercbuild a garden for his motherdsend much money to his mother35what is the best title of the text?amy flower garden ba good dreamcmy children da money treectwo years ago，the funk family of suburban chicago adopted a chinese baby girl who had been abandoned on a sidewalk near a yangzhou textile factory.last year，halfway across the united states，the ramirez family of suburban miami adopted a girl who had been abandoned a week later on the same spot.both families named their daughters mia.it turns out，a first name and chinese heritage arent the only things the threeyearolds have in common.the girls mothersholly funk and diana ramirezmet on a website for parents who had gone through international adoptions.after a lot of emails comparing photographs and biographical details，dna testing proved the families suspicions：the girls are probably fraternal(亲如手足的) twins.“i was in shock，” said ramirez，who lives with her husband carlos in pembroke pines，florida.“well，now this is for real.”the internet and web groups revolving around international orphanages are increasingly being used to link adopted children with biological kin(亲属)the site that the funks and ramirezes used has a membership of 137 people，with 15 sets of twins and 7 sets of siblings whose relationships have been confirmed.at a reunion friday at chicagos ohare international airport，mia diamond funk and mia hanying ramirez shyly surveyed each other，and then reached for each others hand.dna tests establish an 85 percent probability that the girls are at least halfsisters.scientists do not have a biological parent to test and reach a greater certainty，but given their ages and physical similarities，experts say it is likely they are fraternal twins.douglas and holly funk hope to bring their mia to miami in october.both sets of parents say they are committed to staying in touch and often let the twins talk to each other on the phone.36both the adopted girls shared a first name_.abecause they both came from chinabbecause of their physical similaritiescbecause their us parents suspected they were twinsdfor no good reason37why did the girls mothers meet on the internet?ato compare photographs of the two girls.bto find the girls biological kin.cto test their suspicions.dto enjoy the joy of adopting children.38experts are still not 100 percent sure that the two girls are fraternal twins because_.adna tests are still not accurate enoughbthe two girls were born in two different familiescthe dna of a biological parent is still missingdone girl was born a week later than the other39what ramirez said in paragraph 4 suggests that she_.adidnt believe what had happenedbwas surprised at what had happenedcdidnt want to accept the factdwas pleased with what they had done40what would be the best title for the passage? aadopted twins reunited after online chatbadopted twins live happily in the uscsuspicion turned into realitydthe stories of two familiesdfor the last couple of weeks，i had been stuck in front of my computer working on a project that was very important to me.my every waking hour was consumed by the project and although i imagined that i would feel happy after completing parts of the project，i was confused to find that instead，i was feeling rather depressed.i tried a range of methods to help cheer myself up.i had a relaxing bath，cooked a delicious meal to enjoy with my family and even watched a lighthearted movie，but to_no_avail.it was only when i turned to meditation(沉思) for a solution that the answer came to me：turn to nature!the very next day，i grabbed my camera and a bottle of water and set off to spend a few hours walking in a nature reserve，even though it was pouring with rain.within a couple of minutes i felt alive again.to be honest，i felt like a young school girl again and had to stop myself from hopping along the path singing，“im singing in the rain.”a song i used to sing when i was a child.i think as adults we often try too hard to control our inner children and as a result we restrain(限制)our own spirits，which only leads to depression and stress.interestingly，it has been shown that people who spend 40 minutes walking in a nature reserve have a drop in their blood pressure levels.but this does not happen when they spend a similar amount of time walking in a busy city centre.if you feel a little low in spirit and know that you have spent too much time indoors，relax completely，remove your shoes and let your inner child come out and play.41the author felt depressed because she _.acouldnt consume her waking hourbhad not seen a film for a long timechad not finished her work on timedhad worked on a hard job for too long42the author walked in a nature reserve in the rain in order to _.atake photosbfind a solution to the projectchop along the pathdcheer herself up43the underlined part “to no avail” in paragraph 1 probably means “_”aunsuccessful
