C 20. B 【解析】 【原文】Good morning, everyone. I’ve been asked to explain to you in simple terms what the world is facing in the current climate emergency. I’ll explain the crises under five headings, each with a brief explanation. Firstly, drought. As temperature rises, the land dries up. Farmers have to face increasing problems of growing crops. This may cause shortages of food and drinking water. Then, flooding. Coastal flooding happens when winds from a storm push water from the ocean onto land. A flash flood is caused by dam breaks or heavy rain. Urban flooding specifically occurs when rainfall damages the local drainage system. Thirdly the rising sea level. Melted water from the poles is expected to cause a rise in sea level, which will endanger the world’s coastal cities. In addition, coral reefs will die, and many ocean life forms will disappear. Fourthly, animal extinction. Over the past thirty years, the Antarctic penguin population has shrunk by two thirds. Up north, polar bears are dying because their habitat, sea ice, is becoming thinner and thinner. Biologist Dr. Ian Stirling fears that polar bears are facing certain extinction. And lastly, hurricanes. Hurricanes are getting stronger and more frequent because warm air rises rapidly. According to the weather expert James Ellsner of Florida State University, storms have been fierce since 1981. 第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Athens: More than a Summer Holiday Destination While the Greek islands are popular for summer holidays, Athens is a year-round destination. So even if you’re flying to Greece just for the island sun, here are a few reasons to spend time in the capital too! The Acropolis Even if you’re not a fan of history, some of the ancient sites you just have to visit — and this is probably the most famous one in Athens. The Acropolis is an ancient city at the top of a hill, and here you’ll see the Parthenon, a temple built almost 2,500 years ago. It’s worth climbing up, too, for the views — of the sea, mountains and Lycabettus Hill rising up between the city’s apartment buildings. The streets of Plaka and Monastiraki If you still have energy after climbing the Acropolis, take a walk around the nearby area. Yellow and white buildings look down on the smooth stone streets of the area known as Plaka. Stop at the gift shops or take a break from the sun with a Greek coffee or a traditional meal in one of the local restaurants — or tavernas. Walk on and you’ll soon find yourself in the narrower streets of Monastiraki with its flea markets on all sides, giving you a real Greek experience. Panathenaic Stadium Close to the center of town and not far from the National Garden is the ancient Panathenaic Stadium, which was restored for the first modern Olympic Games in 1896. It’s also the place where the Athens marathon finishes every year, so if you like running, you too could feel like an Olympic winner! The coast When you’re in the center of Athens, it doesn’t feel much like a coastal city, but the sea is just a few minutes’ drive away. The beaches get better the further south you go, or you can walk by the boats in the shadow of the stylish new opera house. 21. Which of the following places is a must-go if you want to see ancient relics? A. The Plaka. B. The Acropolis. C. Panathenaic. D. Monastiraki. 22. What can you find in the streets of Monastiraki? A. Gifts shops and Greek café with traditional meals. B. Narrow streets with local restaurants and souvenir stores. C. An outdoor market where second-hand goods are sold at low prices. D. Yellow and white buildings looking down on the smooth stone streets. 23. Where should you go to find Athens’ best beaches? A. In the city center of Athens B. Opposite the new opera house. C. Driving away from the country D. Going south from the city center. 【答案】21. B 22. C 23. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是应用文。介绍了雅典值得游玩的地方。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Acropolis下的段落中“The Acropolis is an ancient city at the top of a hill, and here you’ll see the Parthenon, a temple built almost 2,500 years ago. It’s worth climbing up, too, for the views — of the sea, mountains and Lycabettus Hill rising up between the city’s apartment buildings.(即使你对历史不感兴趣，也有一些古老的景点你一定要去看看——这可能是雅典最著名的一个。雅典卫城是一座坐落在山顶上的古城，在这里你会看到帕台农神庙，一座建于2500年前的神庙。爬上去也是值得的，因为可以看到大海、山脉和耸立在城市公寓楼之间的Lycabettus山)”可知，如果你想看古代遗迹，可以去The Acropolis。故选B项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据The streets of Plaka and Monastiraki下的段落中“Walk on and you’ll soon find yourself in the narrower streets of Monastiraki with its flea markets on all sides, giving you a real Greek experience.(继续走下去，你很快就会发现自己来到了蒙纳斯提拉基狭窄的街道上，四周都是跳蚤市场，给你一个真正的希腊体验)”可知，在The streets of Plaka and Monastiraki，你能找到二手商品低价出售的户外市场。故选C项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据The coast下的段落中“When you’re in the center of Athens, it doesn’t feel much like a coastal city, but the sea is just a few minutes’ drive away. The beaches get better the further south you go, or you can walk by the boats in the shadow of the stylish new opera house.(当你身处雅典市中心时，你会觉得它不太像一个沿海城市，但离大海只有几分钟的车程。越往南走，海滩越好，或者你可以在时尚的新歌剧院的阴影下沿着船走)”可知，雅典最好的海滩在市中心往南走。故选D项。 B Virtual reality gamers (VR game) who finished it faster than their fellow gamers also have higher levels of general intelligence and processing capacity. This was the result of a study conducted by Markus Weinmann from the University of Cologne. The results also indicate that virtual reality games can be useful supplementary (补充) human resource management tools in companies for predicting the job performance of an applicant. Several studies have already shown that video games may indicate or even help to develop intellectual and cognitive abilities. As intelligence is one of the most commonly used predictors for job performance, video games could be interesting for the human resource management. Although many companies are increasingly using VR technology to recruit (招募) candidates, only few studies have specifically investigated whether and how VR games can be used to draw conclusions about intelligence in this area. The study contributes to bridging the gap between research and practice. Weinmann invited 103 participants to their lab. Under controlled laboratory conditions, they played the commercial VR game “Job Simulator”and completed the short version of the intelligence test BIS-4. The researcher’s analyses show that an increase of 17% in processing capacity correlated with less time spent playing the game (by an average of 3.7 minutes). The results are a scientific novelty, as it has hardly been possible to conduct VR studies with state-of-the-art VR hardware. There are thus few studies that have investigated the correlation between behavior in VR and intelligence, “There are already some companies that use games, so-called ‘serious games’, for recruiting. The new results are in line with this specific application of VR games and show that they can be used for recruiting,” said Weinmann. The scientists intend to continue their research on the potential of video games for practical applications. Among other things, they are investigating how people behave in virtual world. 24. What can we learn from Weinmann’s study? A. The results are far from satisfactory. B. The participants can play the game freely. C. It aims to develop intellectual ability. D. It helps to combine research with practice. 25. What is Weinmann’s attitude to the result of the study? A. Unclear. B. Intolerant. C. Favorable. D. Doubtful. 26. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Limitations of the study. B. Possible directions for future study. C. The present situation of the study. D. The explanation of the research method. 27. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. VR games can be used in recruitment B. VR games can indicate intelligence level C. VR games improve applicants’ performance D. VR games have gain popularity in management 【答案】24. D 25. C 26. B 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是一项研究发现虚拟现实游戏可以作为人力资源管理的辅助工具，用于对应聘者的工作能力进行测试。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Although many companies are increasingly using VR technology to recruit(招募) candidates, only few studies have specifically investigated whether and how VR games can be used to draw conclusions about intelligence in this area. The study contributes to bridging the gap between research and practice.(尽管许多公司越来越多地使用VR技术来招聘候选人，但只有少数研究专门调查了VR游戏是否以及如何用于得出这一领域的智力结论。这项研究有助于弥合研究与实践之间的空缺。)”可知，该项研究填补了在研究与实践之间的空缺，所以这项研究帮助把研究与实践结合起来。故选D项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“The new results are in line with this specific application of VR games and show that they can be used for recruiting,” said Weinmann.(新的结果与VR游戏的具体应用相一致，并表明它们可以用于招聘。”)”可知，Weinmann认为这项研究成果可用于招聘中，所以他对研究结果持赞成态度。故选C项。 【26题详解】 主旨大意题。根据尾段“The scientists intend to continue their research on the potential of video games for practical applications. Among other things, they are investigating how people behave in virtual world.(科学家们打算继续研究电子游戏在实际应用中的潜力。除此之外，他们正在调查人们在虚拟世界中的行为。)”可知，科学家将继续研究电子游戏在实际应用中的潜力以及人们在虚拟世界中的行为，由此可推断，该段主要介绍的是未来研究的方向。故选B项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据首段中的“The results also indicate that virtual reality games can be useful supplementary(补充) human resource management tools in companies for predicting the job performance of an applicant.(研究结果还表明，虚拟现实游戏可以作为企业人力资源管理的辅助工具，用于预测应聘者的工作表现。)”并结合下文对该研究成果的分析可知，本文主要介绍的为VR虚拟现实游戏可知用于招聘中对应聘人员的工作表现进行测试，所以“VR game可用于招聘”作为文章题目概括了全文内容也体现了文章主题。故选A项。 C A lecturer in the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Ibadan, Oyo State, Dr Olabode Badiru, has called on the government to pay more attention to food security in the country to solve the rising cost of foods. According to Dr Badiru, farmers need fertiliser and other agrochemicals like pesticides. Insecticides and others to solve the problem of pests. All of these will cost much money. Besides that, we have the problem of insecurity that farmers are being chased away from the farm. Dr Badiru also called on the government to address insecurity, saying farmers are afraid of going to farm. He, who gave the advice while speaking with journalists in Ibadan, urged individuals to embrace backyard farming to reduce the spending on some food items. Most of the farm machines and chemicals used by farmers are all imported, he emphasised that these may have effects on what they will produce. Reducing the rising cost of food requires some efforts from individuals and the government at all levels, he advised, and at the individual level, backyard farming could help to re-duce the need for purchase of food. He advised Nigerians to grow vegetables and other eatable plants, raise small animals like sheep and goats and raise domestic animals in their houses. Beyond the backyards, he also said youths should be encouraged to go into farming despite the challenges involved. The government at all levels, especially the states, must provide an enabling environment for willing citizens to engage in agriculture. Security is the key. Basic facilities, such as road and electricity, should be improved. We can start by pushing practical research products to the farms for adoption to strengthen farm productivity through a functional agricultural extension system. “Essentially, we must look for innovative ways of bringing the unit cost of agricultural production down, among other measures,” he said. 28. What causes food prices to rise according to Dr Badiru? A. High cost and insecurity. B. Cold and heavy snow. C. Strong wind and pests. D. War and flooding. 29. What does the underlined word “embrace” mean in paragraph3? A. Catch. B. Emerge. C. Hold. D. Accept. 30. What is Dr Badiru’s attitude towards the current agricultural production environment? A. Dissatisfied . B. Optimistic. C. Uninterested. D. Unclear. 31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. How to adjust food production B. Problems caused by rising food prices C. How to solve rising cost of food items D. Suggestions on improving food production 【答案】28. A 29. D 30. A 31. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。奥约州伊巴丹大学农业学院讲师Olabode Badiru博士呼吁政府更加关注该国的粮食安全问题，以解决食品价格上涨的问题。文章主要论述了Badiru博士说明了食品价格上涨的原因以及对于解决食物价格上涨的建议。 28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“According to Dr Badiru, farmers need fertiliser and other agrochemicals like pesticides. Insecticides and others to solve the problem of pests. All of these will cost much money. Besides that, we have the problem of insecurity that farmers are being chased away from the farm.(根据巴迪鲁博士的说法，农民需要化肥和其他农用化学品，如杀虫剂。杀虫剂等解决害虫问题。所有这些都将花费很多钱。除此之外，我们还有不安全的问题，农民被赶出农场)”可知，巴迪鲁博士认为，成本高，不安全导致食品价格上涨。故选A。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“He, who gave the advice while speaking with journalists in Ibadan, urged individuals to”以及后文“to reduce the spending on some food items”可知，巴迪鲁博士建议要减少某些食品的支出，个人就得接受后院农业，故画线词意思是“接受”。故选D。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““Essentially, we must look for innovative ways of bringing the unit cost of agricultural production down, among other measures,” he said.(他说：“从本质上讲，除了其他措施外，我们必须寻找降低农业生产单位成本的创新方法。”)”可推知，巴迪鲁博士对当前农业生产环境的态度是不满意。故选A。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“A lecturer in the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Ibadan, Oyo State, Dr Olabode Badiru, has called on the government to pay more attention to food security in the country to solve the rising cost of foods.(奥约州伊巴丹大学农业学院讲师Olabode badiu博士呼吁政府更加关注该国的粮食安全问题，以解决食品价格上涨的问题)”结合文章主要论述了Badiru博士说明了食品价格上涨的原因以及对于解决食物价格上涨的建议。可知，C选项“如何解决食品价格上涨问题”符合语境，故选C。 D China is betting on its successful hybrid rice varieties to fight food shortage in Africa. “We’re no longer suffering from hunger,” 55-year-old Georges Ranaivomanana, a Madagascan farmer who took the lead in planting Chinese hybrid rice in his town of Mahitsy. Georges told Xinhua that he hoped that all Madagascan farmers would use the seeds to raise their living standards. China has been helping African countries develop productive rice farming for years with its hybrid rice. For farmers on the continent like Ranaivomanana, they are “very grateful” to the Chinese as the hybrid rice is the key to better food security and higher incomes. In May, the China National Hybrid Rice Research and Development Centre opened a research centre in Madagascar to select hybrid rice varieties based on the island nation’s diverse ecological environment, in an effort to find more productive crops for a continent long troubled by insufficient grain output. In the northwestern Nigerian state of Kebbi, Chinese expert Wang Xuemin stood in a rice field, surrounded by green rice plants. “This year, we are using a new technology,” he said, adding that “it can significantly reduce labor and other costs.” “The land, climate and rice farming methods in Nigeria are very different from those in China. We had a lot of problems at the beginning,” said the 51-year-old who has been in Nigeria for 16 years. In 2006, after Wang and his colleagues had sown the seeds, their field management techniques and large-scale farming equipment could not adapt to the operating environment, and hundreds of hectares of rice fields were almost completely taken over by weeds. “We came to realize that blindly copying the Chinese model is not feasible (可行的). It is necessary to constantly innovate our techniques to fit the local situation in Africa,” he said. After more than ten years of research and innovation, the Nigerian farm now becomes a major training and mechanized production centre in the country, training more than 1,000 farmers and agricultural machinery management staff. 32. What’s the attitude of African farmers about Chinese hybrid rice? A. A little skeptical. B. Much disappointed. C. Full of gratitude. D. Extremely curious. 33. How old was Wang Xuemin when he came to Nigeria? A. 35 years old. B. 51 years old. C. 55 years old. D. 67 years old. 34. What can we infer from what Wang Xuemin said? A. Chinese technology of hybrid rice can’t be applied in Africa. B. Different technologies should be applied to different areas. C. Chinese experts contribute to raising African living standards. D. Chinese technology of hybrid rice wastes more labor and costs. 35. What’s the best title of the text? A. Chinese Hybrid Rice Research Has Not Been Open in Africa B. The Sowing of Hybrid Rice Should Vary from Country C. China’s Hybrid Rice Sows Hope for Africa D. Africans Fight Food Shortage with Chinese 【答案】32. C 33. A 34. B 35. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。本文主要讲述了中国利用杂交水稻技术帮助非洲解决粮食短缺的问题。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“China has been helping African countries develop productive rice farming for years with its hybrid rice. For farmers on the continent like Ranaivomanana, they are ‘very grateful’ to the Chinese as the hybrid rice is the key to better food security and higher incomes.”(多年来，中国一直在用杂交水稻帮助非洲国家发展高产水稻种植。对于像Ranaivomanana这样的非洲大陆农民来说，他们“非常感谢”中国人，因为杂交水稻是改善粮食安全和提高收入的关键。)可知，非洲农民“非常感谢”中国的杂交水稻，因为杂交水稻是改善粮食安全和提高收入的关键，由此可推断出，非洲农民对中国杂交水稻的态度是充满感激的。故选C项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“‘The land, climate and rice farming methods in Nigeria are very different from those in China. We had a lot of problems at the beginning,’ said the 51-year-old who has been in Nigeria for 16 years.”(“尼日利亚的土地、气候和水稻种植方式与中国非常不同。一开始我们遇到了很多问题，”这位51岁的老人说，他已经在尼日利亚待了16年。)可知，王学民51岁时已经在尼日利亚待了16年了，由此可知，他是35岁时来尼日利亚的。故选A项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中王学民的话“We came to realize that blindly copying the Chinese model is not feasible (可行的). It is necessary to constantly innovate our techniques to fit the local situation in Africa”(我们逐渐认识到，盲目照搬中国模式是不可行的。有必要不断创新我们的技术，以适应非洲的当地情况。)可知，王学民认为非洲和中国的情况不同，盲目照搬中国模式是不可行的，应该不断创新技术，以适应非洲的当地情况，由此可知，从王学民的话中我们可以推知，不同的地域应该采用不同的技术。故选B项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段内容“China is betting on its successful hybrid rice varieties to fight food shortage in Africa.”(中国正押注于其成功的杂交水稻品种来应对非洲的粮食短缺。)和第三段中“For farmers on the continent like Ranaivomanana, they are ‘very grateful’ to the Chinese as the hybrid rice is the key to better food security and higher incomes.”(对于像Ranaivomanana这样的非洲大陆农民来说，他们“非常感谢”中国人，因为杂交水稻是改善粮食安全和提高收入的关键。)可知，本文主要讲述了中国利用杂交水稻技术帮助非洲解决粮食短缺的问题，杂交水稻成为非洲农民改善粮食安全和提高收入的关键，“China’s Hybrid Rice Sows Hope for Africa”意为“中国杂交水稻为非洲播下希望”，选项能够概括文章主要内容。故选C项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The Malaysian night market is based on a concept of open-air shopping where streel vendors (小贩) take over a designated street to set up stalls (货摊).

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了马来西亚夜市的情况，包括夜市的概念、构成、经营时间、售卖的商品以及夜市的氛围等。 【36题详解】 根据下文“There is always something new and exciting to look forward to at each visit.(每次去夜市总会期待着有新奇、令人兴奋的东西)”可知，下文提到每次去夜市总会期待有新的东西，F项“New items are constantly being added on in line with current trends.(不断会有新潮的商品加入夜市)”说明原因，因为不断会有新潮的商品加入夜市，所以每次去夜市总会期待有新的东西出现，构成因果关系，上下文语意连贯。故选F项。 【37题详解】 上文“For those who cook, there is stall upon stall selling fresh seafood, meat products, and a limitless variety of vegetables.(对于那些喜欢烹饪的人来说，一个又一个摊位上卖着新鲜的海鲜、肉类产品和各种各样的蔬菜)”列举了一些夜市上售卖的食材，G选项“Dried and preserved items such as dried beef and salted eggs are easily available here too.(这里也很容易买到干制和腌制的食品，如牛肉干和咸蛋)”继续列举夜市上可以买到的其他类型的食品，与上文构成并列关系，上下文语意连贯。故选G项。 【38题详解】 上文“It is no secret that all-night markets share a common treasure — tasty street cuisine.(众所周知，所有夜市都有一个共同的宝藏——美味的街头美食)”说明夜市的美食很受欢迎，E选项“It would be a regret not to try on mouth-watering local dishes.(如果不尝尝令人垂涎的当地菜肴，那将是一种遗憾)”承接上文，进一步强调尝试当地美食的重要性，说明可以在夜市品尝美食，与上文话题一致。故选E项。 【39题详解】 根据下文“Therefore, it is not a place for the faint-hearted or the gentle.(因此，这里不是胆小或温柔之人的去处)”可知，上下文之间有因果关系，下文说明夜市不适合胆小或温柔的人，D选项“Noisy crowds are the hallmark of the night market.(嘈杂的人群是夜市的标志)”说明原因：夜市是嘈杂的地方，所以不适合胆小或温柔的人，构成因果关系，上下文语意连贯。故选D项。 【40题详解】 上文“The night market is truly an exciting experience and a feast for the eyes on a tropical night out. The atmosphere is almost festive.(夜市真的是一次令人兴奋的体验，也是热带夜晚外出时的一场视觉盛宴。气氛几乎像节日一样)”说明夜市是一场视觉和感官的盛宴，B选项“There is so much to see, buy and eat.(有太多东西可以看、买和吃)”承接上文，说明夜市上有很多可以看、买和吃的东西，所以是视觉和感官的盛宴。故选B项。 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分） 第一节（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My life turned a corner two years before.

We reached the foot of a mountain at 9 a.m. Following the longer path, we began to climb. After some times, we were all tired. We had a very short rest and move on. At last, we succeeded in getting to the top, on that we kept laughing and jumping. It was seemed that we were the happiest people in the world.

So even if you’re flying to Greece just for the island sun, here are a few reasons to spend time in the capital too! The Acropolis Even if you’re not a fan of history, some of the ancient sites you just have to visit — and this is probably the most famous one in Athens. The Acropolis is an ancient city at the top of a hill, and here you’ll see the Parthenon, a temple built almost 2,500 years ago. It’s worth climbing up, too, for the views — of the sea, mountains and Lycabettus Hill rising up between the city’s apartment buildings. The streets of Plaka and Monastiraki If you still have energy after climbing the Acropolis, take a walk around the nearby area. Yellow and white buildings look down on the smooth stone streets of the area known as Plaka. Stop at the gift shops or take a break from the sun with a Greek coffee or a traditional meal in one of the local restaurants — or tavernas. Walk on and you’ll soon find yourself in the narrower streets of Monastiraki with its flea markets on all sides, giving you a real Greek experience. Panathenaic Stadium Close to the center of town and not far from the National Garden is the ancient Panathenaic Stadium, which was restored for the first modern Olympic Games in 1896. It’s also the place where the Athens marathon finishes every year, so if you like running, you too could feel like an Olympic winner! The coast When you’re in the center of Athens, it doesn’t feel much like a coastal city, but the sea is just a few minutes’ drive away. The beaches get better the further south you go, or you can walk by the boats in the shadow of the stylish new opera house. 21. Which of the following places is a must-go if you want to see ancient relics? A. The Plaka. B. The Acropolis. C. Panathenaic. D. Monastiraki. 22. What can you find in the streets of Monastiraki? A. Gifts shops and Greek café with traditional meals. B. Narrow streets with local restaurants and souvenir stores. C. An outdoor market where second-hand goods are sold at low prices. D Yellow and white buildings looking down on the smooth stone streets. 23. Where should you go to find Athens’ best beaches? A. In the city center of Athens B. Opposite the new opera house. C. Driving away from the country D. Going south from the city center. B Virtual reality gamers (VR game) who finished it faster than their fellow gamers also have higher levels of general intelligence and processing capacity. This was the result of a study conducted by Markus Weinmann from the University of Cologne. The results also indicate that virtual reality games can be useful supplementary (补充) human resource management tools in companies for predicting the job performance of an applicant. Several studies have already shown that video games may indicate or even help to develop intellectual and cognitive abilities. As intelligence is one of the most commonly used predictors for job performance, video games could be interesting for the human resource management. Although many companies are increasingly using VR technology to recruit (招募) candidates, only few studies have specifically investigated whether and how VR games can be used to draw conclusions about intelligence in this area. The study contributes to bridging the gap between research and practice. Weinmann invited 103 participants to their lab. Under controlled laboratory conditions, they played the commercial VR game “Job Simulator”and completed the short version of the intelligence test BIS-4. The researcher’s analyses show that an increase of 17% in processing capacity correlated with less time spent playing the game (by an average of 3.7 minutes). The results are a scientific novelty, as it has hardly been possible to conduct VR studies with state-of-the-art VR hardware. There are thus few studies that have investigated the correlation between behavior in VR and intelligence, “There are already some companies that use games, so-called ‘serious games’, for recruiting. The new results are in line with this specific application of VR games and show that they can be used for recruiting,” said Weinmann. The scientists intend to continue their research on the potential of video games for practical applications. Among other things, they are investigating how people behave in virtual world. 24. What can we learn from Weinmann’s study? A. The results are far from satisfactory. B. The participants can play the game freely. C. It aims to develop intellectual ability. D. It helps to combine research with practice. 25. What is Weinmann’s attitude to the result of the study? A. Unclear. B. Intolerant. C. Favorable. D. Doubtful. 26. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Limitations of the study. B. Possible directions for future study. C. The present situation of the study. D. The explanation of the research method. 27. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. VR games can be used in recruitment B. VR games can indicate intelligence level C. VR games improve applicants’ performance D. VR games have gain popularity in management C A lecturer in the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Ibadan, Oyo State, Dr Olabode Badiru, has called on the government to pay more attention to food security in the country to solve the rising cost of foods. According to Dr Badiru, farmers need fertiliser and other agrochemicals like pesticides. Insecticides and others to solve the problem of pests. All of these will cost much money. Besides that, we have the problem of insecurity that farmers are being chased away from the farm. Dr Badiru also called on the government to address insecurity, saying farmers are afraid of going to farm. He, who gave the advice while speaking with journalists in Ibadan, urged individuals to embrace backyard farming to reduce the spending on some food items. Most of the farm machines and chemicals used by farmers are all imported, he emphasised that these may have effects on what they will produce. Reducing the rising cost of food requires some efforts from individuals and the government at all levels, he advised, and at the individual level, backyard farming could help to re-duce the need for purchase of food. He advised Nigerians to grow vegetables and other eatable plants, raise small animals like sheep and goats and raise domestic animals in their houses. Beyond the backyards, he also said youths should be encouraged to go into farming despite the challenges involved. The government at all levels, especially the states, must provide an enabling environment for willing citizens to engage in agriculture. Security is the key. Basic facilities, such as road and electricity, should be improved. We can start by pushing practical research products to the farms for adoption to strengthen farm productivity through a functional agricultural extension system. “Essentially, we must look for innovative ways of bringing the unit cost of agricultural production down, among other measures,” he said. 28. What causes food prices to rise according to Dr Badiru? A. High cost and insecurity. B. Cold and heavy snow. C. Strong wind and pests. D. War and flooding. 29 What does the underlined word “embrace” mean in paragraph3? A. Catch. B. Emerge. C. Hold. D. Accept. 30. What is Dr Badiru’s attitude towards the current agricultural production environment? A. Dissatisfied . B. Optimistic. C. Uninterested. D. Unclear. 31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. How to adjust food production B. Problems caused by rising food prices C. How to solve rising cost of food items D. Suggestions on improving food production D China is betting on its successful hybrid rice varieties to fight food shortage in Africa. “We’re no longer suffering from hunger,” 55-year-old Georges Ranaivomanana, a Madagascan farmer who took the lead in planting Chinese hybrid rice in his town of Mahitsy. Georges told Xinhua that he hoped that all Madagascan farmers would use the seeds to raise their living standards. China has been helping African countries develop productive rice farming for years with its hybrid rice. For farmers on the continent like Ranaivomanana, they are “very grateful” to the Chinese as the hybrid rice is the key to better food security and higher incomes. In May, the China National Hybrid Rice Research and Development Centre opened a research centre in Madagascar to select hybrid rice varieties based on the island nation’s diverse ecological environment, in an effort to find more productive crops for a continent long troubled by insufficient grain output. In the northwestern Nigerian state of Kebbi, Chinese expert Wang Xuemin stood in a rice field, surrounded by green rice plants. “This year, we are using a new technology,” he said, adding that “it can significantly reduce labor and other costs.” “The land, climate and rice farming methods in Nigeria are very different from those in China. We had a lot of problems at the beginning,” said the 51-year-old who has been in Nigeria for 16 years. In 2006, after Wang and his colleagues had sown the seeds, their field management techniques and large-scale farming equipment could not adapt to the operating environment, and hundreds of hectares of rice fields were almost completely taken over by weeds. “We came to realize that blindly copying the Chinese model is not feasible (可行的). It is necessary to constantly innovate our techniques to fit the local situation in Africa,” he said. After more than ten years of research and innovation, the Nigerian farm now becomes a major training and mechanized production centre in the country, training more than 1,000 farmers and agricultural machinery management staff. 32. What’s the attitude of African farmers about Chinese hybrid rice? A. A little skeptical. B. Much disappointed. C. Full of gratitude. D. Extremely curious. 33. How old was Wang Xuemin when he came to Nigeria? A. 35 years old. B. 51 years old. C. 55 years old. D. 67 years old. 34. What can we infer from what Wang Xuemin said? A. Chinese technology of hybrid rice can’t be applied in Africa. B. Different technologies should be applied to different areas. C. Chinese experts contribute to raising African living standards. D. Chinese technology of hybrid rice wastes more labor and costs. 35. What’s the best title of the text? A. Chinese Hybrid Rice Research Has Not Been Open in Africa B. The Sowing of Hybrid Rice Should Vary from Country C. China’s Hybrid Rice Sows Hope for Africa D. Africans Fight Food Shortage with Chinese 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The Malaysian night market is based on a concept of open-air shopping where streel vendors (小贩) take over a designated street to set up stalls (货摊).
