老付出发赶航班啦


  Second, yield growth has been lower in wheat and rice than in corn and soybeans. This is problematic because wheat and rice are more important as foods, accounting for around half of all calories consumed. Corn and soybeans are more important as feed grains. The authors note that “we have preferentially focused our crop improvement efforts on feeding animals and cars rather than on crops that feed people and are the basis of food security in much of the world.


63. What does the new study by the two universities say about recent crop improvement efforts?


A)They fail to produce the same remarkable results as before the 1980s.【答非所问】

解说:与考点句无关


B)They contribute a lot to the improvement of human food production.【答非所问】

解说:与考点句无关


C)They play a major role in guaranteeing the food security of the world.【偷梁换柱】

解说:是crops that feed people(口粮生产),而非crop improvement effort(促进生产),在保证世界粮食供给。


D) They focus more on the increase of animal feed than human food grains. 【等价代换】

逐句精讲

第一句

Second, yield growth(主)has been(系)lower(表)[in wheat and rice](状,地点)[than in corn and soybeans](状,比较). 

译文:其次,比起玉米和大豆,小麦和水稻的产量增速更为缓慢。


第二句

[1]主句:This(主)is(系)problematic(表)

[2]原因状语从句: because wheat and rice(主)are(系)more important(表)[as foods](状), [accounting for around half of all calories consumed](状). 

译文:这一趋势是有问题的,因为小麦和水稻作为重要的口粮,占据人们所消耗的食物热量的一半左右。


第三句

Corn and soybeans(主)are(系)more important(表)[as feed grains](状). 

译文:玉米和大豆只是重要的饲料谷物。


第四句

[1]主句:The authors(主)note(谓)

(这篇研究报告的)作者们指出

[2]宾语从句:that “we(主)have preferentially focused our crop improvement efforts on(谓)feeding animals and cars rather than on crops(宾)

将动词词组 have preferentially focused our crop improvement efforts on … rather than on…整体看作谓语部分,句子会更佳简洁

我们有选择性地注重提升饲料及燃料作物的产量,而非……作物

[3]修饰crops的定语从句:that(主)feed(谓1)people(宾1)and are(系1)the basis of food security in much of the world(表1).”

供养人口,并在世界大部分地区保障粮食供给的(作物)

译文:这篇报告的作者们指出,我们只注重提升饲料及燃料作物的产量,却忽视了供养人口、保障世界大部分地区粮食供给的粮食作物的产量。


清新小仿写

Less emphasis is laid on cooperation than competition. This is problematic because the former is a more important factor for social progress, accounting for around half of all driving forces required. The latter severs as only a auxiliary force.


译文

比起合作,人们更强调竞争。这是有问题的,因为前者才是社会进步的主要驱动力,起到了一半以上的推动作用。而后者只起到了辅助作用。


词汇

driving force |ˈdraiviŋ fɔ:s| n. 驱动力

serve as |sə:v æz| vt. 充当;担任;起作用

auxiliary |ɔ:gˈzɪliəri| adj. 辅助的;补充的;备用的


明日预告

  The report qualifies the more optimistic findings of another new paper which suggests that the world will not have to dig up a lot more land for farming in order to feed 9 billion people in 2050, as the Food and Agriculture Organisation has argued.

  Instead, it says, thanks to slowing population growth, land currently ploughed up for crops might be able to revert (回返)to forest or wilderness. This could happen. The trouble is that the forecast assumes continued improvements in yields, which may not actually happen.


64.What does the Food and Agriculture Organisation say about world food production in the coming decades?

A) The growing population will greatly increase the pressure on world food supplies.

B) The optimistic prediction about food production should be viewed with caution.

C) The slowdown of the growth in yields of major food crops will be reversed.

D) The world will be able to feed its population without increasing farmland.


65.How does the author view the argument of the Food and Agriculture Organisation?

A) It is built on the findings of a new study.

B) It is based on a doubtful assumption.

C) It is backed by strong evidence.

D) It is open to further discussion.
