significantly determine how severe the impact is on the environment, researchers said.the study researchers warned that meeting the demand for food would clear more land, increase nitrogen(氮) use and significantly add to carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions.“agricultures greenhouse gas emissions could double by 2050 if current trends in global food production continue,” study researcher david tilman, of the university of minnesota, said in a statement. “this would be a major problem, since global agriculture already accounts for a third of all greenhouse gas emissions.”the researchers studied various ways in which the increasing food demand could be mentioned. they found that the most environmentally friendly and cost-effective approach would be for more food producers to adopt the nitrogen-efficient “intensive” farming method, which involves the heavy use of labor and the production of more crops per acre.this approach was shown to be more effective than the “extensive” farming currently practiced by many poor nations, a method that includes clearing more new land to produce more food.different farming methods produce significantly different yields, the researchers found in 2005, the crop yields for the wealthiest nations were more than 300 percent higher than what the poorest nations produced.according to their analysis of the effects of extensive farming, if poorer nations continue using this method, by 2050 they will have cleared an area larger than the united states, about 2.5 billion acres. however, if wealthy nations help poorer nations to improve food yields by incorporating(吸收) intensive farming practices, that number could be reduced to half a billion acres.the researchers stress that the environmental effects of meeting future food demand depend on how global agriculture expands and develops.“our analyses show that we can save most of the earths remaining ecosystems by helping the poorer nations of the world feed themselves,” tilman said.1. what is the best title of this passage?a. the world will need double food by 2050b. man will face the risk of lacking food in the futurec. future farmers hold environments fate in their handsd. different farming methods produce significantly different yields2. the character of the extensive farming is _.a. very cost-effectiveb. to produce more crops per acrec. at cost of more new land to produce more foodd. very environmentally friendly3. it can be inferred from the passage that _.a. poorer nations mainly use the intensive farmingb. wealthy nations mainly use the extensive farmingc. the intensive farming needs less food producersd. the extensive farming has a worse effect on ecosystems4. according to the passage, the underlined word “they” in the 7th paragraph refers to “_”.a. poorer nationsb. the effects of extensive farmingc. wealthy nationsd. future food demand答案与解析【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。到2050年，全球的食物需求将加倍，这会加大对环境的影响。研究者们认为使用高效氮密集型耕种方法可以满足未来人们对食物的要求，从而减少农业对环境的影响。1. 答案 c解析 根据第一段中的and the farming techniques . determine how severe the impact is on the environment可知，农民们所采用的种植技术显著地决定着对环境的影响程度。故选c项。2. 答案 c解析 根据第五段中的a method that includes clearing more new land to produce more food可知，选c项。3. 答案 d解析 根据第五段中的the “extensive” farming currently practiced by many poor nations和最后一段中的our analyses show that we can save most of the earths remaining ecosystems by helping the poorer nations可推知，选d项。4. 答案 a解析 根据画线词前的if poorer nations continue using this method可知，they指的是poorer nations，故选a项。in one of the old buildings near our school, one could see an old man sitting by a large
