a. jody williams served during the war in vietnam. b. bobby muller put forward the idea of banning landmines. c. jody williams received the nobel peace prize in 1997. d. 122 countries signed the landmine ban treaty in 1997. 22. jody williams book is about _. a. how to reduce the bad effects of landmines b. what the possible bad effects of landmines are c. how much it costs to remove the hidden landmines d. what the government can do to remove the hidden landmines 23. an international treaty banning landmines was made in _. a. 1991 b. 1992 c. 1996 d. 1997 bearlier this year i traveled to turkana in kenya. i was there to take pictures of the “broken food system”.as a special visitor, i was greeted with songs and dances. the locals used to sing and dance all the time but now turkana is silent and has been for some years. no one is singing or dancing any more because they have no food, nothing to celebrate. many of them are surviving on one handful of corn a day and water, which they can get just every two days.i met tede lokapelo, a local farmer who described the experience of a six-year drought (干旱). tede used to have 200 goats, but now he has only seven left. he told me that this drought has taught him a hard lesson: it is too difficult to keep animals. he lives on animals. his traditional way of life has been completely destroyed now. without the food aid (援助) they got, tede is certain that they would starve because there are no other sources to feed themselves left.sadly, the same can be heard in almost any developing country around the world. almost one billion people go to bed hungry each night. the food system is broken. in turkana, not enough rain has fallen since 2005. they measure rainfall not in days or weeks but in minutes. more and more people are being forced to rely on food aid, but people like tede dont want food aid. they want to work and create their own economy. its our responsibility to fix the system so that they can support themselves. drought is impossible to avoid but famine (饥荒) is manmade, and unless enough money is provided to develop a basic infrastructure (基础设施) for people in the area, thousands more lives are sure to be lost. 24. why do people in turkana no longer sing or dance any more? a. because they have no time. b. because they are tired of them. c. because they are always hungry. d. because they have other interesting things to do. 25. which of the following is not true about tede lokapelo? a. he raised 200 goats in the past. b. he has never received any food aid. c. his traditional way of life has been changed. d. he found it hard to raise animals after the drought. 26. according to the text, _. a. about one billion people cant get enough food each day b. it has never rained since 2005 in turkana c. more and more people are willing to rely on food aid d. what people in turkana really want is the food aid 27. whats the authors purpose in writing the text? a. to show drought is serious in the world. b. to tell readers the serious situation of food shortage. c. to ask more people to give food aid to people in kenya. d. to make it clear how to help people suffering from drought. cif youve never bought organic food, you might be wondering whats so special about it. is it really better for you? how does that work? this text will give you a short introduction to the subject. organic food is produced without the use of artificial fertilizers or pesticides (insect and bug killers) and many people buy it because they think its better for their health. whether thats true or not is still debated, but there are lots of other reasons for organic food. intensive agriculture (集约型农业) gives us cheap and plentiful food, but its also one of the biggest sources of environmental pollution. according to a report by the world resources institute, half of all the chemical fertilizers ever produced have been used since 1984. fertilizers and the much more deadly pesticides（pest killers）and herbicides (weed killers) used with them finally find their way into rivers and seas. sometimes they break down harmlessly, but theyre likely to build up in creatures that eat them (including humans). organic food, grown without artificial chemicals, is one way to help reduce the problem.many people find it confusing that organic products are more expensive. after all, youre doing away with expensive chemicals . so shouldnt they be cheaper? organic farming is typically a more labor-intensive (劳动力密集的)way of farming and thats why it costs more. as a responsible (有责任的) consumer, its up to you to decide where to put your money. are you happy to buy products that may have been grown in a harmful way? are you willing to pay more to buy organic products that may help to protect the environment?28. which of the following does the author agree on?a. organic food is better for peoples health.b. organic food is better for the environment.c. organic food tastes better than traditional food.d. organic food can be produced in great amounts.29. why people turn to organic food?a. organic food is cheap and has a high output.b. organic food use less chemical fertilizers than other food.c. the use of chemical fertilizers has caused damage to human and environment.d. customers want to pay more for food.30. the underlined words “doing away with” in the last paragraph can best be replaced by “_”.a. making use of b. getting rid ofc. keeping away from d. taking advantage of31. whats the authors attitude towards organic food?a. doubtful. b. uncertain.c. worried. d. supportive.dwe do not know when man first began to use salt, but we do know that it has been used in many different ways throughout history. historical evidence shows, for example, that people who lived over 3,000 years ago ate salted fish. thousands of years ago in egypt, salt was used to preserve (保存) the dead. stealing salt was considered a major crime (罪行) during some periods of history. in the eighteenth century, for example, if a person was caught stealing salt, he could be put in prison and his ears could be cut off.in the roman empire, one of the most important roads was the one that carried salt from the salt mines to rome. guards were stationed along the route to protect against salt thieves, and they received their pay in salt, thus bringing the english word, salary. any guard who fell asleep while on duty was thought to be “not worth his salt”, and as a result he would get a little less salt on his next payday. the expression, “not worth his salt”, is still used today in english.in the modern world salt has many uses beyond the dining table. it is used in making glass and airplane parts, in the growing of crops, and in the killing of weeds (杂草). it is also used to make water soft, to melt (融化) ice on roads and highways, to make soap, and to fix colors in cloth. salt can be got in various ways besides being taken from mines underground. salt water from the ocean, salt water lakes or small seas can be used to make salt. yet, no matter where it comes from, salt will continue to play an important role in the lives of people everywhere.32. according to the text, salt can be used in the following except _. a. keeping dead bodies b. punishing thieves c. protecting crops d. making industrial products 33. in the roman empire many people were employed as guards to _. a. protect the city of rome b. watch people carrying salt c. prevent thieves from stealing salt d. carry salt from the mines to rome 34. the expression “not worth his salt” used today refers to the one who _. a. fails to do his work well b. should not be paid in salt c. doesnt want to work at all d. should use less salt 35. the main purpose of the text is to tell readers _.a. how salt was found and got b. salt is important in peoples life c. salt was difficult to get in the past d. what salt brings to the english language第二节 erik rang his grandparents doorbell and silently wished the next four hours would be go by quickly. he didnt want to give up his entire saturday afternoon at his grandparents house where there were no kids in the neighborhood.“ _36_” there s tea and cake in the dining room,” grandma bethany said, opening the door.cake? at least the first ten minutes would go by quickly. suddenly erik found a strange-looking key on the dining table. “_37_”“its opens the best room in this house,” grandpa bill whispered. “its the room i got when your grandma tries to make me help with the dishes.”“_37_” erik asked.“its a game room.” grandpa bill said. “take the key and see if you can find the room.” erik stared at the key which looked old. erik decided the oldest things in the house were probably upstairs in the attic(阁楼). he headed past the dining room and to the stairs.grandpa bill shook his head. _39_erik thought about the oldest part of the house. “the basement. _40_”he rushed to the basement door and open it.the basement was one giant room with a pool table in the middle.“wow!” erik said.“ever learn to play pool?” grandpa bill said, coming down the stairs.“no,” erik said.“well then, take a cue and ill teach you.”erik smiled. the next 4 hours were going to fly by.第二部分：语言知识及应用（共二节，每小题1.5分，满分45分）第一节：完形填空）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。an american businessman who travelled in southern mexico met with one young mexican fisherman rowing a small boat at the dock (码头).inside the boat were several large 41 . enjoying the warmth of the sun, the american 42 the mexican for the quality of his fish. he thought they must bring the mexican lots of money.“how long did it take you to 43 them?” the american asked. “oh, a few hours,” the mexican fisherman 44 . “why dont you 45 longer and catch more fish?” the businessman then asked. the mexican answered, “with these fish i have more than enough to 46 my family.” the businessman then became 47 , “but what do you do with the rest of your 48?” with a smile, the fisherman answered, “i 49 with my children, watch ballgames, see my friends, sing songs .” the american businessman cut in, “look, i have an mba, and i can help you 50 more money. you can start by fishing several hours longer every day. you can then sell the 51 fish you catch. with the money, you can buy a bigger boat, then a third one, and so on, 52 you have an entire fleet (船队) of fishing boats. you could leave your village and move to a big city, where you could even further 53 your business. finally, youll be able to set up your company and become very 54 . what do you think?”having never 55 such things, the mexican fisherman asked, “really?
