【语篇解读】文章主要讲述了科学家发现长久以来使用化肥会使土地受损

害，而且对人类健康有害，因此一些农民开始转向有机耕作。

1.hasbecome［考查时态。句意：在过去的半个世纪里，使用化肥在农业中

变得非常普遍。根据时间状语“Overthepasthalfcentury”可知，时态为现在完成时，

主语“usingchemicalfertilizers”为动名词，谓语应用第三人称单数。故填has

becomeo］

2.them［考查代词。句意：许多农民欢迎它们，认为这是制止作物病害和

增加产量的好办法。分析可知，所填空为宾语，应用宾格形式。故填them。］

3.increase［考查非谓语动词。句意：许多农民欢迎它们，认为这是制止作

物病害和增加产量的好办法。分析可知，所填空(increase)production与之

前的tostopcropdisease为并列结构，同时作way的后置定语，因此需填动词原形。

故填increaseo］

4.Recently［考查副词。句意：然而，最近科学家发现，长期使用这些肥料

会对土地造成损害，甚至对人们的健康造成更大的危害。分析可知，所填空在句

首，应是副词作状语。故填Recently。］

5.to［考查固定搭配。causedamagetosth.意为“对....造成损坏，带来损

害“。故填to。］

6.discoveries［考查名词复数。句意：有了这些发现，一些农民开始转向有

机耕作，也就是简单地而没有使用任何化学物质耕作。分析可知，所填空之前有

限定词these,因此应为名词复数。故填discoveries。］

7.which［考查定语从句。句意：有了这些发现，一些农民开始转向有机耕

作，也就是简单地而没有使用任何化学物质耕作。分析可知，“issimply

farmingwithoutusinganychemicals”为organicfarming的非限制性定语从句，先行

词在从句中作主语，应用关系代词which引导。故填which。］

8.are［考查动词和主谓一致。句意：有许多不同的有机耕作方法。分析可

知，“manydifferentorganicfarmingmethods”为复数形式，因此be动词应用复数

形式，句子描述的是目前的情况，应使用一般现在时。故填are。］

9.the［考查冠词。句意：他们都有一个共同的目标：在不破坏环境和人们

的健康的情况下种植好食物。分析可知，所填空后有same,thesame为固定结构，

共同构成名词goal的限定词。故填the。］

10.damaging［考查非谓语动词。句意：他们都有一个共同的目标：在不破

坏环境和人们的健康的情况下种植好食物。分析可知，所填动词在介词without之

后，应用动名词作宾语，即：o.-ing形式。故填damaging。］
