本文是議論和說明的結(jié)合。主要介紹了我國古代科學家賈思勰對我國古代農(nóng)業(yè)的研究和貢獻。他的耕種方法對我國古代農(nóng)業(yè)起了重要的指導作用。

1. A 此處只有discovered才會g與wisdom搭配。

2. B賈思勰是我國古代的農(nóng)業(yè)科學家。故選agricultural。

3. B此處"doing research into agriculture”表示"做農(nóng)業(yè)研究"，不用experiment ,因為后文已提到了did experiments。

4. D此處"learn from the experience of farm?ers"表示" 學習農(nóng)民的耕作經(jīng)驗"。

5. B由本文第二段第二、三句推斷可知，選gardening。

6. C本句的下文介紹一些具體的課題，如種菜、養(yǎng)動物等。因此選subject"科目，課題"。

topic"話題";program"項目，節(jié)目"；event"事件"。

7. A此處表示造酒的"指導,說明"，選instruc?tions ,其他選項與句意不符。

8. B "practical guide"意為"切實可行的指導"。

economical意為"經(jīng)濟的，節(jié)省的"；reg?ular意為" 有規(guī)律的"，與句意不符。

9. C此處"grow young plants"意為"種植幼苗"，其他選項沒有"種植"之意。

10. D本空應(yīng)選results ,與前文的work相對，表示"工作投人少，而結(jié)果更好"，下文也有類似的句子。

11. B go against nature意為"違背自然"，其他選項均不符合句意。

12. C本題the condition of the soil表示"土壤的狀況，條件"。而situation表示"形勢"，與soil不搭配，其他選項與句意不符。

13. B前句指出土壤狀況十分重要，本句說明要細心、仔細檢查土壤，因此選carefiilly。

14. A本句告訴讀者，種莊稼之前需要平整土地和除草，remove weeds意為"清除雜草"。

15. A本題選de_Stroy。讓牛羊在地里走就是為了除掉雜草。

16. D從下句中"do not plant rice in the same field"可知莊稼要換著種，因此選change。

17. D year after year"年復一年"。題意為"不在同一塊地里年復一年地種同一種莊稼"。

18. C本句意為"如果每年換種不同的莊稼就會有好收成"。harvest good crops意為"收成好"。

19. C本句意思是"種植小麥時，株與株之間要留有空間"，而非留有"線"、"洞"或"平衡"。因此選space。

20. A本句的開頭是"but Jia did experiments"，因此后半句是實驗結(jié)果"證明，表明"。因此選showed。
