、课时提升作业(十七)必修4Unit 2(建议用时40分钟). 阅读理解Modern AgricultureEngineering and technology is an important part of modern agriculture. There are even people called agricultural engineers now. One area of agriculture where plant production is advancing rapidly is hydroponics, which is a technique of growing plants in water that contains nutrients. Because hydroponics doesnt use soil, people in very dry areas like parts of Africa, for example, can grow plants for food and other natural resources. Hydroponics may also increase food productiona concern for the growing population. Agricultural ChemistryAgricultural chemistry is connected with both chemistry and biology, which are important in agriculture for things such as weed control, soil mixture, agricultural products analysis, and nutritional(营养)requirements for farm animals. TechnologyTechnological progress and other advancements have greatly changed the way things are packaged, processed and marketed to consumers. Technology benefits farmers by reducing the amount of labor they need to do and by increasing the efficiency and productivity of the farms. While technology controls most modern farms today, animals like horses are still actively used on farms to transport products. Computers have also become an important agricultural management tool. Hydroponics and greenhouse growing are two examples of agriculture that generally make use of computers for managing lighting, feeding and temperature. Aircraft, including planes are also used in daily agricultural business. 【文章大意】本文主要探讨了有关现代农业和现代科技的话题。1. It can be inferred from the passage that agricultural chemistry.
