intensive(精细的) cultivation(耕作) as its essence is one of the most important achievements of the human civilization.the development of agriculture and rural areas in china is faced with many problems.the chinese government has made a number of important policies and measures to cause a faster growth of farmers income and narrow the everenlarging income gap between rural and urban residents as soon as possible mainly through finishing a strategy of balanced social and economic development.well give top priority in all work to solving problems facing agriculture，farmers and rural areas，focusing on the following seven aspects.firstly well promote faster increase of farmers income.secondly well protect and increase the overall capacity of grain production.thirdly we will continue to promote strategic restructuring of agriculture.fourthly well actively promote progress in agroscience and enhance research work of agricultural hightech and key research programs，and increase its reserve level.fifthly well further open agriculture to the outside world and actively develop agricultural trade with other countries.sixthly well speed up the transfer of rural labors and develop rural secondary and tertiary(第三的) industries.seventhly well continue to deepen rural reforms.priorities(优先权) will be placed on reform of rural land system，tax and administrative charges，grain distribution system and rural financial system.however，agricultural development has difficult tasks and a long way to go.the road ahead is by no means smooth.nevertheless，chinas agriculture will give full play to its advantages，overcome any difficulties，enter a new stage of development and match towards a brighter new future in the new century!56what does the underlined word “enhance” in paragraph 2 mean?aweaken. bdesign.cstrengthen. deffect.57whats the chinas ancient civilization?athe rich agricultural resources.bthe intensive cultivation.cthe capacity of grain production.dthe strategy of balanced development.58what policy do you think is the most important?apromoting faster increase of farmers income.bprotecting the capacity of grain production.cpromoting strategic restructuring of agriculture.dcontinuing to deepen rural reforms.59whats the best title of the passage?achinas agricultural resourcesbchinas agriculture seven aspectscreform of chinas agriculturedagriculture in chinabwhen you hear the word “farm”，chances are your picture of rolling hills in the country covered with cows and corn.but some scientists，engineers and city planners say the farms of the future could be indoors inside skyscrapers(摩天大楼) in the worlds most populated cities.it might sound crazy，but in fact，some of the technology for growing crops indoors already exists.the national aeronautics and space administration(nasa)，has been experimenting for years with methods for growing fresh fruits and vegetables on the moon or even on mars.bringing farming indoors solves a number of problems.first，traditional farming takes up a lot of land.by the year 2050，the world population will grow by another three billion.as populations grow，the land available for farming decreases.governments are now wondering where we will grow the food for all these people.despommier，an ecologist at columbia university，and his colleagues say “vertical farming”growing crops in skyscrapers tens of stories highis the answer.cities that grow their own food also would become more selfreliant and no longer be at risk of natural disasters，weather instability(不稳定) or insect pests(害虫)“you can control everything indoors.you cant control anything outdoors.” despommier says.vertical farms dont exist yet.their supporters say a welldesigned vertical farm could be selfreliant，able to recycle water，compost(将做成混合肥) crop waste，and use gases given off in the process to heat the building.even the waste of the livestock(牲畜) living in the building could be recycled as a source of energy.but some believe making the move to vertical farming will not be so easy.“i would say it is going to be tough，”says gene giacomelli，who heads up the controlled environment agriculture center at the university of arizona in tucson.it can be tricky to regulate climate conditions indoors，he says.keeping the correct balance of humidity(湿度) can be especially challenging and plants have different weather and lighting requirements.tomatoes like warm，sunny weather，while greens like lettuce prefer cooler temperatures.and nearly all crop plants require lots of sunlight.copying sunlight is challenging，but scientists are learning how to make artificial lights that produce the colors，or wavelengths，of light，especially red and blue，that crop plants need.still，artificial，electric lights present their own challenges.overhead lights are inefficient，but more efficient(高效能的) lighting systems are still too expensive for widespread use.thats not to say these challenges wont be overcome，but it will take time.most experts suggest it would be anywhere between five and fifteen years before the first vertical farms could be created.60what does the passage mainly talk about?athe ways to solve the food problem of the world.ba new farming technology“vertical farming”cthe main problems “vertical farming” is facing.dthe advantages “vertical farming” will bring us.61to the future of “vertical farming”，the author is _according to the passage.adoubtful bpessimisticcoptimistic dproud62which of the following descriptions does not fit a welldesigned vertical farm?athe water in it can be recycled and the crop waste can be composted.bwaste of the livestock can be recycled as a source of energy.cthe buildings in which a vertical farm lies should look beautiful.dthe gases given off in the process can be used to heat the building.63the following are the benefits of “indoors farming”except that_.a“indoors farming”can help people to save a lot of landbcrops can be protected from the harm of natural disasterccrops will be free from the damage caused by insect pestsd“indoors farming” can help people save a lot of moneyc a couple of years ago，in 2008，i got laid off from a decent job at a car dealer.i was with two children.then i started collecting coupons(优惠券)it was like going back to my early days，when money was tight，and i clipped coupons to save money.being a single mom is very difficult，especially，with a little or an uncertain child to support.i wanted to do something where i would always have a job regardless of the economy.i have heard from many people that womens beauty salons are almost recession resistant(抗衰退)，where women would continue to spend money to look and feel better.so i decided to give that a try and went to a beauty school for a few months.luckily，i like that kind of work.getting into this work actually enabled me to see the other side of things.i learned to give great customer service.whatever things i complained about when i was a customer，i was able to look at those problems，and made sure they did not happen.later i was promptly hired at a local beauty place.i am doing well，and making good money.the economy did cause our stores income to drop a little，but we didnt have to shut down.all of our coworkers agreed to take a small pay cut so we could stay in business.when the economy improves and people start spending again，i am sure our business will do even better.my message isdont get discouraged if you get laid off.look around for other opportunities.god shuts one door but he opens another，you know.64why did the writer begin to collect coupons?ato save money.bto take up a new hobby.cto remember the old days.dto give children as play things.65the writer went to a beauty school because _.ashe was a woman of great beautybshe liked to get a good educationcshe wanted to spend money to look betterdthe womens beauty salon is an ideal field in recession66from para.3，we can learn that the writer _.afeels a strong sense of responsibilitybthinks it unwise to always complainchas an idea about how to judge customersdused to make complaints against bad service67the author writes this passage to _.aprove that god is fairbinspire hope in the unemployedcattract more women to womens beauty salonsdshow that those who work hard win the worldd electronic waste，or ewaste，refers to electronic products that are no longer usable.this can include tvs，cellphones and computers and other office electronics，electronic toys and video machines.today，the average turnover(更换)rate for a computer in the united states is every two years，according to the environmental group，greenpeace.the groups dai yun says ewaste is a global problem.“the electronic industry is one of the fastest growing industries in the world.the high speed of growth in this industry means more and more electronic products are being wasted and thrown away.if no one decides to retrieve the old products and process them properly，the electronic waste will sweep over the earth like the huge wave behind me and pollute the earth seriously.”greenpeace works out that 20 to 50 million tons of ewaste are produced globally each year.the components(部件)in many electronic products contain harmful chemicals that pollute ground water and the environment.at present，the us.has no federal law for the disposal (处理) of ewaste although a few states have ewaste recycling programs in place，but there is no law.the us.exports much of its ewaste to third world countries，such as india and china，where workers take apart computers for valuable parts，hoping to sell them for money.but harmful wastes expert，dr.bakul rao，says thats a dangerous practice.“from now on，the recyclers are not well educated.all they know is they can retrieve copper or gold out of it.so，the easiest way to do that is leach (过滤) it out in an acid or burn it off to retrieve it.so，thats where they dont know how to deal with it，neither do they have any health systems in place.so，thei
