You probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?
Jane Addams (1860-1935)
Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community (社区) by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
Rachel Carson (1907-1964)
If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans.
Sandra Day O’Connor (1930-present)
When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator (参议员) and, in 1981, the first woman to join the Supreme Court of the United States. O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 25 years on the top court.
Rosa Parks (1913-2005)
On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott (抵制). It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil rights movement. “The only tired I was, was tired of giving in,” said Parks.
21. What is Jane Addams noted for in history?
A. Her social work. B. Her teaching skills.
C. Her efforts to win a prize. D. Her community background.
22. What was the reason for O’Connor’s being rejected by the law firm?
A. Her lack of proper training in law.
B. Her little work experience in court.
C. The discrimination against women.
D. The poor financial conditions.
23. What can we infer about the women mentioned in the text?
A. They are highly educated. B. They are truly creative.
C. They are pioneers. D. They are peace-lovers.
【答案】21. A 22. C 23. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了过去100年中几位杰出女性,赞扬她们为人类进步所做出的巨大贡献。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Jane Addams (1860-1935)”下文介绍中的“Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community (社区) by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. (任何曾经得到过社工帮助的人都要感谢Jane Addams。Addams帮助穷人,为和平而努力。她通过为有需要的人建立庇护所和促进教育和服务来鼓励社区意识。)”可知,Jane Addams因为推动了社会工作的发展在历史上出名。故选A项。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Sandra Day O’Connor (1930-present)”下文介绍中的 “When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. (1952年,当Sandra Day O’Connor以全班第三名的成绩毕业于斯坦福法学院时,她找不到律师事务所的工作,因为她是女性。)”可知,Sandra Day O’Connor被律师事务所拒绝是因为她是一位女性,也就是针对女性的性别歧视。故选C项。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“You probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?(你可能知道Marie Curie是谁,但你可能没有听说过Rachel Carson。在下面列出的杰出女性中,你认为谁是过去100年中最重要的女性?)”可知本文介绍了过去100年里的几位杰出女性;由“Jane Addams (1860-1935)”下文介绍中的“Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. …In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize. (任何曾经得到过社工帮助的人都要感谢Jane Addams。Addams帮助穷人,为和平而努力。…… 1931年,Addams成为第一位获得诺贝尔和平奖的美国女性。)”可知,Jane Addams推动了社会工作的发展,帮助穷人,为和平而努力,成为第一位获得诺贝尔和平奖的美国女性;由“Rachel Carson (1907-1964)”下文介绍中的“If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans. (如果没有Rachel Carson,今天的环保运动可能就不会存在。她1962年出版的畅销书《寂静的春天》让人们意识到污染的危险,以及化学物质对人类和世界湖泊和海洋的有害影响。)”可知,Rachel Carson推动环保运动的发展,让人们意识到污染的危险;由“Sandra Day O’Connor (1930-present)”下文介绍中的“She became an Arizona state senator (参议员) and, in 1981, the first woman to join the Supreme Court of the United States. (她成为亚利桑那州参议员,并于1981年成为美国最高法院的第一位女性法官。)”可知,Sandra Day O’Connor是美国最高法院的第一位女性法官;由“Rosa Parks (1913-2005)”下文介绍中的“But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott (抵制). It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil rights movement. (但它也引发了蒙哥马利的公共汽车抵制运动。它持续了一年多,并拉开了民权运动的序幕。)”可知,Rosa Parks因为不愿在公共汽车上给一位乘客让座而入狱,这也引发了蒙哥马利的公共汽车抵制运动,拉开了民权运动的序幕;由此可知,文章中所列出的这些女性都是某些行业或运动的先驱者。故选C项。
B
Each year, thousands of US families open their homes and hearts to student visitors from all over the world. In a homestay, students can observe, learn and experience a new lifestyle and culture, while practising English skills in a home environment. Successful homestay experiences can help to ease homesickness and make a smooth transition into an American university.
Homestay hosts involve their student guests in day-to-day family activities and also include them in social gatherings such as summertime barbecues, holiday celebrations, or trips to local attractions. They reflect the diversity of the region in which they live. They may be single parents, retired couples or families with young children from different socioeconomic and ethnic backgrounds. What they have in common is a desire to share their homes and their time with international students.
Living in a homestay will always require an adjustment period. There may be simple house rules or guidelines about Internet usage, laundry, television viewing, meal times, cleanliness, and money matters. Similarly, universities that offer homestay programs set certain standards for hosts. For example, at the University of Delaware, all hosts living more than one mile from campus must provide students with transportation to and from campus every weekday. Hosts must also provide each student with a private, furnished room and access to a shared or private bathroom.
The homestay coordinators carefully screen host applicants to make sure they have a passion for hospitality and an interest in other cultures. Coordinators will also interview and visit applicants to determine the suitability of the living space and meet the family members. Regular meetings, phone calls, and emails keep the hosts up to date in order to maintain high standards of operation within the homestays.
If you choose to live in a homestay, your hosts will be interested in your country, family and traditions. Be sure to bring photographs of your town, school, friends and family. If you like, you may also bring small gifts that are typical of your country.
24. What can be known about American homestay hosts?
A. They are quite the same in many areas. B. They desire to share their rich diversities.
C. They hold an open attitude to foreign students. D. They help student visitors learn language skills
25. Why does an adjustment period always exist?
A. Because homesickness is hard to overcome.
B. Because furnished rooms are in great demand.
C. Because boarders take time to adapt to house rules.
D. Because universities set certain standards for hosts.
26. What does “screen” mean in paragraph 4?
A. Pick. B. Interview. C. Call. D. Monitor.
27. Who might “you” be in the last paragraph?
A. A photographer. B. A student. C. A coordinator. D. A host.
【答案】24. C 25. C 26. A 27. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美国寄宿家庭的一些背景知识和申请流程。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Each year, thousands of US families open their homes and hearts to student visitors from all over the world.(每年,成千上万的美国家庭向来自世界各地的学生来访者敞开家门和心扉)”可知,美国寄宿家庭的主人对外国学生持开放态度。故选C。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Living in a homestay will always require an adjustment period. There may be simple house rules or guidelines about Internet usage, laundry, television viewing, meal times, cleanliness, and money matters.(住在寄宿家庭总是需要一段适应期。可能有一些简单的家规或准则,比如上网、洗衣、看电视、吃饭时间、清洁和金钱问题)”可知,适应期总是存在因为寄宿生需要时间来适应寄宿家庭的规矩。故选C。
【26题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“to make sure they have a passion for hospitality and an interest in other cultures(以确保他们对待客之道充满热情,并对其他文化感兴趣)”以及“Coordinators will also interview and visit applicants to determine the suitability of the living space and meet the family members.(协调员还将面试和访问申请人,以确定生活空间的适用性,并会见家庭成员)”可知,寄宿家庭协调员将面试和访问申请人,说明会仔细选择申请人,以确保他们对待客之道充满热情,并对其他文化感兴趣。故划线词意思是“选择”,与pick同义。故选A。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“If you choose to live in a homestay, your hosts will be interested in your country, family and traditions. Be sure to bring photographs of your town, school, friends and family. If you like, you may also bring small gifts that are typical of your country.(如果你选择住在寄宿家庭,你的主人会对你的国家、家庭和传统感兴趣。一定要带上你的城镇、学校、朋友和家人的照片。如果你愿意,你也可以带一些你们国家特有的小礼物)”可知,最后一段的“你”可能是一名学生。故选B。
C
Can small, organic agriculture really feed the world? Won’t we need science to produce enough food as the world population is growing to 9 billion by 2050? The answer to both questions is YES—but that science may look different than you think.
We have been told that the only way we will be able to feed the growing population is through the science of GM(转基因) crops and chemicals. But the latest scientific studies are saying just the opposite. In study after study, the message about agriculture is: To feed the world, we need to support sustainable(可持续的) agriculture on different, local, family farms that work with nature.
In 2008, an international study found that sustainable agriculture, not GM crops, shows more hope of ending hunger. The International Assessment of Agricultural Knowledge, Science, and Technology for Development (known as the IAASTD), calls for a change of the world’s food and farming systems.
The Assessment said that industrial agriculture has greatly destroyed the world’s soils and other natural resources, and now is doing harm to water, energy, and weather safety. The report warns that expensive, short-term ways—including GM crops—are not likely to cut down long-term hunger, and could even make environmental and social problems worse in many places.
A recent report by the UN Environment Program shows that food problems will become more serious because of environmental problems and strongly supports sustainable agriculture on small family farms. It also showed that a worldwide change to organics could actually increase the world’s food production by as much as 50%—enough to feed a population of 9 billion people with the land we have now. GM crops, once popular, are now being questioned worldwide.
28. How can we feed the growing population of the world according to the passage?
A. In expensive, short-term ways.
B. By encouraging industrial agriculture.
C. By developing small, organic agriculture.
D. Through the science of GM crops and chemicals.
29. We can learn from the passage that there will be no food problems if _____________ .
A. the world supports sustainable agriculture
B. we increase a lot of farm land
C. the environmental problems are solved
D. all the small family farms are used
30. Which of the following best describe sustainable agriculture?
A. The science of GM crops.
B. Working on small family farms.
C. A fast way to increase the world’s food production.
D. An approach to agriculture without harming the environment.
31. What might be talked about if there is one more paragraph?
A. The causes of food problems.
B. The disadvantages of GM crops.
C. The development of industrial agriculture.
D. The disadvantages of sustainable agriculture.
【答案】28. C 29. A 30. D 31. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。最新的科学研究表明,转基因作物可能减少长期饥饿,甚至可能使许多地方的环境和社会问题恶化。如果世界各国支持可持续农业的发展,就不会有食物问题。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段倒数第二句“It also showed that a worldwide change to organics could actually increase the world’s food production by as much as 50%—enough to feed a population of 9 billion people with the land we have now.”可知,研究表明,全球范围内改变为有机农业做法实际上可以使世界粮食产量增加多达50%,即利用我们现在拥有的土地就足以供养90亿的人口。由此可知,通过发展小型有机农业可以养活世界上不断增长的人口。故选C。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“In study after study, the message about agriculture is: To feed the world, we need to support sustainable agriculture on different, local, family farms that work with nature.”和第三段的“In 2008, an international study found that sustainable agriculture, not GM crops, shows more hope of ending hunger. ”可知,为了养活人们,各国需要支持本地家庭农场发展可持续农业。2008年,一项国际研究发现,可持续发展农业而非转基因作物显示出消除饥饿的更大希望。由此判断出,如果世界各国支持可持续农业的发展,就不会有食物问题。故选A。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段最后一句“The report warns that expensive, short-term ways — including GM crops — are not likely to cut down long-term hunger, and could even make environment and social problems worse in many places.”可知,昂贵的短期方法,例如转基因作物,不能解决长期的饥饿问题,并且可能让环境问题和社会问题更加严重;由上一题的分析可知,文章倡导可持续发展的农业,因此相对于昂贵的短期方法,可持续性农业是一种长期的,不伤害环境的农业模式。故选D。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段最后一句“GM crops, once popular, are now being questioned worldwide.”可知,曾经受人欢迎的转基因作物现在正受到全世界的质疑。由此判断出文章接下来最有可能说的是转基因作物的缺点。故选B。

第二节 将下列句子翻译成汉语。(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
52. This may vary from person to person. (英译汉)
_____________________________________________________________
【答案】这可能因人而异。
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语。主语为This“这”;may表“可能”;vary from person to person翻译为“因人而异”。故翻译为:这可能因人而异。
53. The latest weather-tracking computer programmes give people lots of warnings about potential natural disasters, which saves many lives. (英译汉)
_____________________________________________________________
【答案】最新的追踪天气的计算机程序为人们提供潜在自然灾害的种种预警,挽救了许多生命。
【解析】
【详解】考查短语和定语从句。主语The latest weather-tracking computer programmes表示“最新的追踪天气的计算机程序”;give people lots of warnings about potential natural disasters表示“为人们提供潜在自然灾害的种种预警”;which引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词warnings,saves many lives表示“挽救了许多生命”。故翻译为:最新的追踪天气的计算机程序为人们提供潜在自然灾害的种种预警,挽救了许多生命。
54. The flavour preferences of Americans often differ from those of the Chinese. (英译汉)
_____________________________________________________________
【答案】美国人的口味偏好往往与中国人不同。
【解析】
【详解】考查动词时态,名词以及代词。句子表述客观事实,故使用一般现在时。the flavour preferences of Americans表示“美国人的口味偏好”,此处 flavour preference意为“口味偏好”是可数名词,此处表示复数意义,故用复数形式;often表示“经常”;动词短语differ from...表示“不同于……”;those of the Chinese表示“中国人的口味偏好”,此处使用those指代前文的“口味偏好”为复数形式,为同名异物指代。故翻译为:美国人的口味偏好往往与中国人不同。
55. Through Snow’s tireless efforts, water companies began to sell clean water and the threat of cholera around the world saw a substantial decrease.(英译汉)
【答案】经过斯诺不懈努力,饮用水公司开始出售洁净水,世界各地霍乱的威胁大幅降低。
【解析】
【详解】考查英译汉。短语through Snow’s tireless efforts表示“经过斯诺的不懈努力”;water companies began to sell clean water表示“饮用水公司开始出售洁净水”;the threat of cholera around the world saw a substantial decrease表示“世界各地霍乱的威胁大幅降低”。句子为一般过去时。故翻译为:经过斯诺的不懈努力,饮用水公司开始出售洁净水,世界各地霍乱的威胁大幅降低。
56. Howerver, there is increasing evidence that the real driver of poor health is not so much fatty food, as it is sugar. (英译汉)
_____________________________________________________________
【答案】然而,越来越多的证据表明,不良健康的真正推手并非脂肪类食物,而是糖。
【解析】
【详解】考查同位语从句、固定句型和名词短语。句子陈述客观事实,时态为一般现在时。“However”表示转折,译为“然而”,“there is increasing evidence that”是固定句型,译为“越来越多的证据表明”“the real driver of poor health is not so much fatty food, as it is sugar”是用来解释说明名词evidence的内容,为同位语从句,从句主语“the real driver of poor health”可译为“不良健康的真正推手”,not so much A as B是“与其说是A,不如说是B”的固定句型,故“is not so much fatty food, as it is sugar”可译为“并非脂肪类食物,而是糖”。故翻译为:然而,越来越多的证据表明,不良健康的真正推手并非脂肪类食物,而是糖。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了政府对大学毕业生发展农业的支持,以及大学毕业生致力于农业所获得的好处。
【57题详解】
考查名词。句意:随着中国人口预计在未来几年将继续增长,政府了解农业的重要性。空处作understands的宾语,应用名词。importance意为“重要,重要性”。故填importance。
【58题详解】
考查介词。句意:为了帮助这些年轻人想出聪明、创新的想法,政府正在提供财政援助。help sb. with sth.意为“帮助某人做某事”。故填with。
【59题详解】
考查形容词。句意参考上题。空处修饰help,应用形容词,financial意为“财政的”。故填financial。
【60题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:商业发展贷款对这些年轻人来说也变得更加容易。根据becoming可知,这里表示更加容易,应用形容词easy的比较级easier。故填easier。
【61题详解】
考查助动词。句意:旨在消除贫困的政府政策也在产生有益的影响。根据前文中的“is providing”和“are becoming”可知,这里强调目前正在进行的动作,应用现在进行时,空后有having,且主语policies表示复数,所以空处应用助动词are。故填are。
【62题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:来自云南省宾川县的张涛说:“大城市的生活并不像人们所说的那样美好。”他补充说,空气很差,交通很糟糕,很难过上体面的生活。本句的谓语是said,所以空处应用非谓语动词。逻辑主语Zhang Tao和add之间是主谓关系,应用非谓语动词,作状语。故填adding。
【63题详解】
考查代词。句意参考上题。it is+adj.+to do sth.意为“做某事是……的”,it作形式主语,不定式是真正的主语。故填it。
【64题详解】
考查冠词。句意:更重要的是,这个网络也是让新的农业企业快速启动和运行的好网络。这里泛指一个好的网络,且空后的good发音以辅音音素开头,所以应加不定冠词a。故填a。
【65题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意参考上题。空处和getting并列,作介词for宾语,应用动名词。故填running。
【66题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:因此,毫不奇怪,现在有更多的应届毕业生被吸引到乡村生活中,在那里他们可以实现个人目标,为当地社区做出贡献,而不仅仅是成为大城市的白领专业人士。空处引导非限制性定语从句,指代先行词life,且在从句中作地点状语,所以应用关系副词where引导。故填where。

68. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I am a mother of three and have recently completed my college degree.
The last class had to take was Sociology (社会学). The teacher was absolutely inspiring with the qualities that I wish every human had been graced with. Her last project of the term was called “Smile”. The class was asked to go out and smile at three people and record their reactions. I am a very friendly person and always smile at everyone and say hello anyway, so. I thought this would be a piece of cake. Soon after we were given the project, my husband, my youngest son, and I went out to McDonald’s one cold March morning. It was just our way of sharing special playtime with our son. We were standing in line, waiting to be served, when all of a sudden everyone around us began to back away, and then even my husband did. It did not move a bit. A strong feeling of fear welled up inside of me as turned to see why they had moved. As I turned around I smelled a terrible “dirty body” smell, and there standing behind me were two poor homeless men. As I looked down at the short gentleman, close to me, he was “smiling”. His beautiful sky blue eyes were full of hope as he searched for acceptance.
He said “Good day” as he counted the few coins he had been holding. The second man was obviously mentally disabled. I held my tears as l stood there with them. The young lady at the counter asked him what they wanted. He said “Coffee is all. Miss” because that was all they could afford. (If they wanted to sit in the restaurant and warm up, they had to buy something. He just wanted to be warm.)
Then I really felt the desire was so great that I almost reached out and hugged the little man with the blue eyes.
注意:
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;

Paragraph l:
That was when l noticed all eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging my every action.

Paragraph 2:
I turned in “my project” and the instructor read it.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
That was when noticed all eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging my every action. I smiled and asked the waitress to give me two more breakfast on a separate tray. I put the tray on the table and the blue-eyed gentleman looked up at me tearfully. I started to cry as I walked away. When I sat down, my husband smiled at me. We held hands firmly. I returned to college on the last evening of class, with this story in hand.
I turned in “my project” and the instructor read it. Then she said, “Can I share this?” I nodded as she got the attention of the class. She began to read and that was when I knew that we, as humans, should share this need to help people and to be helped. In my own way, I had touched the people at McDonald’s husband’s, my son, the instructor, and every soul that shared the classroom on the last night I spent as a college student. I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn: “UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE.”

You probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?
Jane Addams (1860-1935)
Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community (社区) by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
Rachel Carson (1907-1964)
If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans.
Sandra Day O’Connor (1930-present)
When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator (参议员) and, in 1981, the first woman to join the Supreme Court of the United States. O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 25 years on the top court.
Rosa Parks (1913-2005)
On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott (抵制). It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil rights movement. “The only tired I was, was tired of giving in,” said Parks.
21. What is Jane Addams noted for in history?
A. Her social work. B. Her teaching skills.
C. Her efforts to win a prize. D. Her community background.
22. What was the reason for O’Connor’s being rejected by the law firm?
A. Her lack of proper training in law.
B. Her little work experience in court.
C. The discrimination against women.
D. The poor financial conditions.
23. What can we infer about the women mentioned in the text?
A. They are highly educated. B. They are truly creative.
C. They are pioneers. D. They are peace-lovers.
B
Each year, thousands of US families open their homes and hearts to student visitors from all over the world. In a homestay, students can observe, learn and experience a new lifestyle and culture, while practising English skills in a home environment. Successful homestay experiences can help to ease homesickness and make a smooth transition into an American university.
Homestay hosts involve their student guests in day-to-day family activities and also include them in social gatherings such as summertime barbecues, holiday celebrations, or trips to local attractions. They reflect the diversity of the region in which they live. They may be single parents, retired couples or families with young children from different socioeconomic and ethnic backgrounds. What they have in common is a desire to share their homes and their time with international students.
Living in a homestay will always require an adjustment period. There may be simple house rules or guidelines about Internet usage, laundry, television viewing, meal times, cleanliness, and money matters. Similarly, universities that offer homestay programs set certain standards for hosts. For example, at the University of Delaware, all hosts living more than one mile from campus must provide students with transportation to and from campus every weekday. Hosts must also provide each student with a private, furnished room and access to a shared or private bathroom.
The homestay coordinators carefully screen host applicants to make sure they have a passion for hospitality and an interest in other cultures. Coordinators will also interview and visit applicants to determine the suitability of the living space and meet the family members. Regular meetings, phone calls, and emails keep the hosts up to date in order to maintain high standards of operation within the homestays.
If you choose to live in a homestay, your hosts will be interested in your country, family and traditions. Be sure to bring photographs of your town, school, friends and family. If you like, you may also bring small gifts that are typical of your country.
24. What can be known about American homestay hosts?
A. They are quite the same in many areas. B. They desire to share their rich diversities.
C. They hold an open attitude to foreign students. D. They help student visitors learn language skills
25. Why does an adjustment period always exist?
A. Because homesickness is hard to overcome.
B. Because furnished rooms are in great demand.
C. Because boarders take time to adapt to house rules.
D. Because universities set certain standards for hosts.
26. What does “screen” mean in paragraph 4?
A. Pick. B. Interview. C. Call. D. Monitor.
27. Who might “you” be in the last paragraph?
A. A photographer. B. A student. C. A coordinator. D. A host.
C
Can small, organic agriculture really feed the world? Won’t we need science to produce enough food as the world population is growing to 9 billion by 2050? The answer to both questions is YES—but that science may look different than you think.
We have been told that the only way we will be able to feed the growing population is through the science of GM(转基因) crops and chemicals. But the latest scientific studies are saying just the opposite. In study after study, the message about agriculture is: To feed the world, we need to support sustainable(可持续的) agriculture on different, local, family farms that work with nature.
In 2008, an international study found that sustainable agriculture, not GM crops, shows more hope of ending hunger. The International Assessment of Agricultural Knowledge, Science, and Technology for Development (known as the IAASTD), calls for a change of the world’s food and farming systems.
The Assessment said that industrial agriculture has greatly destroyed the world’s soils and other natural resources, and now is doing harm to water, energy, and weather safety. The report warns that expensive, short-term ways—including GM crops—are not likely to cut down long-term hunger, and could even make environmental and social problems worse in many places.
A recent report by the UN Environment Program shows that food problems will become more serious because of environmental problems and strongly supports sustainable agriculture on small family farms. It also showed that a worldwide change to organics could actually increase the world’s food production by as much as 50%—enough to feed a population of 9 billion people with the land we have now. GM crops, once popular, are now being questioned worldwide.
28. How can we feed the growing population of the world according to the passage?
A. In expensive, short-term ways.
B. By encouraging industrial agriculture.
C. By developing small, organic agriculture.
D. Through the science of GM crops and chemicals.
29. We can learn from the passage that there will be no food problems if _____________ .
A. the world supports sustainable agriculture
B. we increase a lot of farm land
C. the environmental problems are solved
D. all the small family farms are used
30. Which of the following best describe sustainable agriculture?
A. The science of GM crops.
B Working on small family farms.
C. A fast way to increase the world’s food production.
D. An approach to agriculture without harming the environment.
31. What might be talked about if there is one more paragraph?
A. The causes of food problems.
B. The disadvantages of GM crops.
C. The development of industrial agriculture.
D. The disadvantages of sustainable agriculture.

68. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I am a mother of three and have recently completed my college degree.
The last class had to take was Sociology (社会学). The teacher was absolutely inspiring with the qualities that I wish every human had been graced with. Her last project of the term was called “Smile”. The class was asked to go out and smile at three people and record their reactions. I am a very friendly person and always smile at everyone and say hello anyway, so. I thought this would be a piece of cake. Soon after we were given the project, my husband, my youngest son, and I went out to McDonald’s one cold March morning. It was just our way of sharing special playtime with our son. We were standing in line, waiting to be served, when all of a sudden everyone around us began to back away, and then even my husband did. It did not move a bit. A strong feeling of fear welled up inside of me as turned to see why they had moved. As I turned around I smelled a terrible “dirty body” smell, and there standing behind me were two poor homeless men. As I looked down at the short gentleman, close to me, he was “smiling”. His beautiful sky blue eyes were full of hope as he searched for acceptance.
He said “Good day” as he counted the few coins he had been holding. The second man was obviously mentally disabled. I held my tears as l stood there with them. The young lady at the counter asked him what they wanted. He said “Coffee is all. Miss” because that was all they could afford. (If they wanted to sit in the restaurant and warm up, they had to buy something. He just wanted to be warm.)
Then I really felt the desire was so great that I almost reached out and hugged the little man with the blue eyes.
注意:
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph l:
That was when l noticed all eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging my every action.

Paragraph 2:
I turned in “my project” and the instructor read it.
