28、es D The organic food has gained a lot of popularity as they are being considered as healthier and tastier.?A fair number of people advocate a large-scale shift to organic farming from conventional agriculture. But this might not seem well-founded. Since the mid-19th century, conventional industr

29、ial agriculture has become incredibly efficient on a simple land to food basis. Conventional farming gets more and more crop per square foot of land, which can mean less wilderness needs to be transformed to farmland. To make farming more efficient, conventional agriculture uses a significant amoun

30、t of synthetic fertilizer(合成肥料) each year, and all that nitrogen(氮) enables much faster plant growth. However, the cost is paid in vast polluted dead zones at the mouths of many of the world’s rivers, because much of the nitrogen ends up running off the soil and into the oceans. This also makes conv

31、entional farming one of the major threats to the environment. To weaken the environmental impact of agriculture, improve soil quality as well as produce healthier foods, some farmers have turned to organic farming. Environmentalists have also welcomed organic food as better for the planet than the

32、food produced by agricultural corporations. Organic practices—refusing artificial fertilizers and chemical pesticides—are considered far more sustainable. Sales of organic food rose 7.7% in 2010, up to $26.7 billion—and people are making those purchases for their moral senses as much as their tongue

33、s. Yet a new meta-analysis in Nature does the math and comes to a hard conclusion: organic farming produces 25% fewer crops on average than conventional agriculture. This is definitely a downside of organic farming, especially when global population is still growing rapidly. In the Nature analysis

34、, scientists performed an analysis of 66 studies comparing conventional and organic methods across 34 different crop species, from fruits to grains. They found that organic farming delivered a lower output for every crop type, though the difference varied widely. For crops like fruit trees, organic

35、trailed conventional agriculture by just 5%. Yet for major grain crops and vegetables—all of which provide the world’s main calories—conventional agriculture outperformed organics by more than 25%. What that means is that while organic farming may be more sustainable than conventional agriculture,

36、 there are trade-offs(此消彼長) with each. So an ideal global agriculture system may borrow the best from both systems rather than upholding merely organic or conventional practices. 32. The purpose of the passage is to ___________. A. compare two types of farming B. criticize conventional agricultur

37、e C. discuss the development of farming D. argue for a realistic agriculture system 33. According to the passage, conventional farming ___________. A. produces more crops with fewer fertilizers B. achieves efficiency at a huge cost to the environment C. offers a long-term solution to global d

40、reative writer or simply perfect your skills for schoolwork, you can take some steps to learn how to be a better writer. 1. Use active instead of passive voice. In English, the most basic sentence structure is S-V-O: Subject-Verb-Object( 主-謂-賓). The passive voice(被動語態(tài)) usually requires more words

41、and use of a “to be” verb form, which can suck the energy out of your writing. Learn to avoid these constructions as much as you can. 36 It conventionally uses the passive voice to put the emphasis on the results, rather than the researchers. 2. 37 Finding the rig

42、ht verb or adjective(形容詞) can turn an uninspired sentence into one people will remember and quote for years to come. Look for words that are as specific as possible. Strong doesn't mean obscure, or more complicated. Don't say "utilize" when you could say "use." 38 3. Cut the chaff.

43、? 39 You don't get points for saying in 50 words what could be said in 20, or for using multi-syllable(音節(jié)) words when a short one does just as well. It might feel good at first to pack a lot of ideas and details into a single sentence, but chances are that sentence is just going t

44、o be hard to read. If a phrase doesn't add anything valuable, just cut it. 40 If you notice that your writing is filled with "-ly" words, it might be time to take a deep breath and give your writing more focus. A. Use strong words.? B. Show, don't tell. C. Good writ

45、ing is simple, clear and direct. D. The main exception to this is science writing. E. Cutting the chaff is best done at the editing stage. F. "He sprinted" is not necessarily better than "he ran." G. Don't write "screamed fearfully" -- "scream" already suggests fear. 第二部分: 語言知識運(yùn)用（
