Answer 1

小題1:C
小題2:E
小題3:D
小題4:A
小題5:B

試題分析：這篇短文主要講述了美國(guó)農(nóng)場(chǎng)的情況。在過(guò)去，沒(méi)有大型的機(jī)器，農(nóng)民靠動(dòng)物來(lái)耕作，自己種植蔬菜水果來(lái)維持生計(jì)。農(nóng)民的生活很不一樣，他們居住在農(nóng)場(chǎng)總得工作，而且天氣對(duì)他們影響很大，他們能更理解自然。在不同季節(jié)，農(nóng)民的工作也不一樣。
小題1:結(jié)合前文，講的是農(nóng)民以前沒(méi)有機(jī)器幫助耕作，他們有動(dòng)物。所以此處選C，但是動(dòng)物比機(jī)器工作要慢些。
小題2:結(jié)合前文內(nèi)容，In those clays, farmers grew fruits and vegetables and kept cows, pigs and chickens to feed their families.在過(guò)去，農(nóng)民們種植水果和蔬菜，并且養(yǎng)殖牛、豬、雞來(lái)養(yǎng)活家人。故此處選E，現(xiàn)在農(nóng)民在農(nóng)場(chǎng)里種植，所以他們可以銷售。
小題3:根據(jù)前文. Second, a lot of farm work is outdoors, so the weather is very important for farmers.第二，農(nóng)場(chǎng)工作大都在戶外，所以天氣對(duì)農(nóng)民很重要；這里講到的是天氣因素，故此處選D，天氣對(duì)農(nóng)作物也很重要。
小題4:根據(jù)后文內(nèi)容得知，此段講的是各個(gè)不同季節(jié)農(nóng)民的不同工作；故此處選A，不同季節(jié)農(nóng)場(chǎng)的工作會(huì)有不同。
小題5:結(jié)合前文Then in fall, the fruits or plants are ready for picking.然后在秋天，水果和農(nóng)作物都要采摘了。故此處選B，這是農(nóng)民非常忙的季節(jié)。
