As the roller coaster got up higher and higher, however, my heart started to beat 30 hard that I even could see my shirt move up and down.

No matter how hard I tried, I could not make 35 sound.Section four (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information for the passage. Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer.The United Nations estimates that world food production will have to increase by 70% by 2050. A world population growing in number and wealth will require one billion tons more grain each year, and two hundred million tons more meat.The Food and Agriculture Organization says those gains will have to happen largely on existing land. However, according to a new report which provides the first global assessment of the state of the planets land resources”, large parts of all continents are experiencing damage. One-fourth of all land is described as highly degraded(退化) . The greatest threats are losses of soil quality, biodiversity and water resources. Therefore, production rates have been slowing in many areas. Though new agricultural methods and technology are used to increase food production in many countries, yet they have also harmed the land and water. Thus, it calls for greater use of ways that can expand production while avoiding damage to ecosystems.One such practice might be the use of fertilizer trees. These are fast-growing trees and shrubs（矮树丛） whose leaves and roots help make soil richer. Oluyede Ajayi, the leader author of the study, said Basically these are trees that can fix nitrogen(氮) from the atmosphere and change them into nitrates（硝酸盐） for fertilizer, for organic fertilizer, for the soil.The farmers who planted fertilizer trees reported double the corn production of other farmers. In Zambia, the fertilized fields provided up to 114 additional days of food. Farmers say they need less rainwater if they use fertilizer trees. The trees reduce water runoff and soil erosion. A recent study found that about 400,000 farmers in southern Africa are using them. The farmers themselves designed and managed part of the testing in the field, and spread the word of their successes.Fertilizer trees can be used to increase food productionProblems World population growth 36 the increase of world food production Large parts of global land 37 by losses of soil quality and water resources, slowing production rates New agricultural technology is 38 to land and water 39 Growing fertilizer trees to expand food production without 40 . 41 of fertilizer trees Having leaves and roots 42 soil 43 into nitrates for the soil 44 and loss of soilGood resultFarmers using fertilizer trees can produce 45 as much corn as other farmers.Section five (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.Many of the problems facing todays world arent news to us. The environment is in desperate need of help because its being damaged, hunger is widespread throughout the world, and workers in third world countries are continuously being exploited. Therefore, individuals across the globe need to band(团结) together for a cause and use their collective efforts to make all the difference in the world.For instance, one person recycling a can or a bottle doesnt seem like much. But if every household in a given city were to recycle and conserve energy, that city could make a huge positive impact on environmental damage. Similarly, there are countless ways to help fight world hungerwhether its to donate money to a dedicated worldwide charity, donate canned goods to your local charity, or even make lifestyle changes like going vegetarian. World hunger is a massive problembut it doesnt mean individuals themselves cant make a difference. Worker exploitation is another huge problem. All across the worldparticularly in third world countriesworkers are forced to labor long hours, with close to no pay. Yet these workers continue to show up to such a way of life, because they have no other options. So, how can people like us help fight such a big problem? Simply raising awareness of the products you buy in storesfrom clothing to foodis a massive start. For example, if you see two similar products side by side in a food shop, but one of them is labeled “fair trade”, youll know immediately that the workers who labored to produce that product were given a fair price for their goods. And true, fair trade products might cost a little bit more, but buying them is a significant start to help fight worker exploitation. In short, each of us should be socially conscious to make a difference to widespread social problems.46.
