3、ra 1 CHEMICAL VERSUS ORGANIC FARMING Chemical pesticides农药 and artificial fertilisers肥料 have been in widespread wadspred广泛 use in farming since the middle of the 20th century.When they were first introduced,many farmers welcomed them as a great way to fight crop disease and increase production.Over
4、time,however,what some scientists have found is that their long-term use can sometimes harm both the land and peoples health.自20世纪中期以来,化学农药和人工肥料已在农业中广泛使用。当它们第一次被引进时,许多农民都欢迎它们,作为防治农作物病虫害和提高产量的好方法。然而,随着时间的推移,一些科学家发现,长期使用它们有时会损害土地和人的健康。Para 2_1 For example,pesticides can damage the land by killing not
5、only harmful bacteria and insects,but also helpful ones.In addition,these chemicals can stay in the soil and underground water sources for a long time.This affects the crops grown on the land and,in turn进而,the animals and humans who digest dadest消化 them.Many people worry that these chemicals may mak
6、e them ill and even cause cancer.例如,杀虫剂不仅能杀死有害的细菌和昆虫,还能杀死有益的细菌和昆虫,从而破坏土地。此外,这些化学物质可以在土壤和地下水源中停留很长时间。这影响了土地上生长的作物,进而影响了消化这些作物的动物和人类。很多人担心这些化学物质可能使他们生病,甚至导致癌症。Para 2affect The results of the exam will affect everyone.People tend to think that education will affect our future.That you care too much abo
7、ut money will affect your frienship between you and him.Para 2 In fact,some pesticides like DDT have been prohibited in most countries because of the damage they cause to people and the environment.As for chemical fertilisers,crops grown with them usually grow too fast to be rich in nutrition njutrn
8、营养.They may look beautiful on the outside,but inside there is usually more water than essential senl必需的 minerals mnrlz矿物质,and they often have less flavour as well口感较差.事实上,像滴滴涕这样的杀虫剂在大多数国家都是被禁止使用的,因为它们对人类和环境造成损害。至于化肥,用它们种植的作物通常生长得太快,导致营养不足。它们的外表可能看起来很漂亮,但里面的水分通常比必需矿物质多,而且它们的口感较差。Para 2as forAs for me

10、n they shop at the local grocery rsri杂货店.Organic farming is simply farming without using any chemicals.Organic farmers focus on注重 keeping their soil rich and free of disease through natural means.For example,many organic farmers use natural waste from animals as fertiliser.This makes the soil in the
11、ir fields richer in minerals.It also keeps the air,soil,water,and crops free of chemicals.作为一种替代选择,一些农民转向了有机农业,许多顾客在当地杂货店购物时转向了有机食品。有机农业就是不使用任何化学物质的农业。有机农民注重通过自然手段保持土壤肥沃和无病害。例如,许多有机农民使用动物的天然排泄物作为肥料。这使得他们田地里的土壤富含矿物质。它还使空气、土壤、水和作物不受化学物质的影响。Para 3focus onYou should always focus on quality,not quantity

13、Para 4_1 Organic farmers also use many other methods to produce rich soil.They often change the kind of crop grown in each field every year.For instance nstns例子,they may grow corn or wheat in a field one year,and then grow beans there the next.Why different crops are grown is because they put import
14、ant minerals back into the ground,making it ready for the next batch批 of crops.有机农民还使用许多其他方法来维持土壤肥沃。他们经常每年更换每块地里种植的作物种类。例如,他们可能今年在一块地里种玉米或小麦,然后第二年在那里种豆类。种植不同农作物的原因,是为了把重要的矿物质返回地里,为下一批作物(的种植)做好准备。Para 4Organic farmers also plant diverse crops that use different depths dps 深度 of soil to help keep it r

18、e solution that puts sufficient(plenty=engough)food on the dinner table餐桌 while keeping people and the environment as healthy as possible.有些人宁愿彻底停止在农业中使用人工化学品。他们不能如愿的原因是,化学农业满足了世界各地对食物的高需求。有机农业远远不能满足这种需求。因此,要找到一个合适的解决方案,在餐桌上提供充足的食物,同时尽可能保持人类和环境的健康,还有很长的路要走。organization Title Text type:Exposition The
