36、国种植的玉米比水稻多。since 加“时间点”，与现在时间关联，要用现在完成时。 “the country”是单数概念。故填 has grown。 2 the 考查冠词。 句意： 玉米产量在过去 25 年里增长了近 125%， 而大米只增长了 7%。 “in the past 25 years”意为“在过去的/最近的 25 年里”。 3actually 考查词性转化。句意：实际上，对肉的需求是这种变化的背后原因。这里 要用副词修饰句子。 4to improve 考查不定式。句意：为了改善水质，政府鼓励农民种植玉米而不是大米。 谓语动词 encourages 和 improve 在逻辑上存在目的
37、关系，要用不定式形式。 5than 考查连词。句意：玉米比大米使用的水更少。根据关键词 less 可知，这里填比 较连词 than。 6pollution 考查名词。句意：这一转变减少了中国一些大型湖泊和水库的污染，使人 们喝水更安全。has decreased 后跟 pollute 相应的名词作宾语。 7global 考查形容词。句意：中国约占全球化肥总消费量的 30%。 “fertilizer consumption”是名词短语，故应该用形容词修饰。 8started 考查时态。句意：2005 年政府启动了一项土壤测试项目。本句是 when 引导 的定语从句，修饰先行词 2005，故用一般
38、过去时。 9that/which 考查关系代词。句意：2005 年政府启动了一项土壤测试项目，该项目 给农民推荐一些特定的肥料。根据空后的谓语动词 gives 可知，该定语从句缺少主语，使用 关系代词。program 指代事物。故填 that/which。 10feeding 考查省略句。句意：既养活了国民，又保护了环境。中国这一做法为全世 界的农业和粮食政策制定者提供了很有用的经验。while 引导了一个时间状语从句，表示 “在的同时”。由于主从句主语一致且含有 be 动词，while 后面省略掉了 “China is”。 即 China 与 feed 在逻辑上是主动关系。故填 feeding。
