agriculture secretary kathleen merrigan sees an epidemic (流行病) sweeping across americas farmland. it has little to do with the usual challenges, such as flood, rising fuel prices and cropeating insects. the countrys farmers are getting older, and there are fewer people standing in line to take their place. national agricultural census (普查) figures show that the fastestgrowing group of farmers is the part over 65. merrigan is afraid the average age will be even higher when the 2012 statistics are completed.merrigan, a former college professor, is making stops at universities across the country in hopes of encouraging more students to think about careers in agriculture. aside from trying to stop the graying of americas farmers, her work is made tougher by a recent blog posting that put agriculture at no. 1 on a list of “useless” college degrees. top federal agriculture officials are talking about the posting, and it has the attention of agricultural organizations across the country. “there couldnt be anything thats more incorrect，” merrigan said. “we know that there arent enough qualified graduates to fill the jobs that are out there in american agriculture.” in addition, a growing world population that some experts predict will require 70% more food production by 2050, she said. “i truly believe were at a golden age of agriculture. global demand is at an alltime record high, and global supplies are at alltime record lows，”said matt rush, director of the texas farm bureau. “production costs are going to be valuable enough that younger people are going to have the opportunity to be involved in agriculture.” the department of agriculture has programs aimed at developing more farmers and at increasing interest in locally grown food. the national young farmers coalition has also been pushing for state and federal policy changes to make it easier for new farmers.ryan best, president of future farmers of america, has been living out of a suitcase, traveling the country and visiting with high school students about careers in agriculture. the 21yearold best hopes his messagethat this is a new time in agriculturewill motivate the next generation to_turn_around_the_statistics. “never before have we had the innovations (创新) in technology which have led to agriculture in this country being the most efficient it has ever been，” he said. “theres really a place for everybody to fit in.”59. what is the new challenge to american agriculture?a. fewer and older farmers. b. higher fuel prices.c. more natural disasters. d. lower agricultural output.60. why is merrigan visiting universities across the country?a. to draw federal agriculture officials attention.b. to select qualified agriculture graduates.c. to clarify a recent blog posting.d. to talk more students into farming careers.61. according to matt rush, american agriculture will provide opportunities for younger people because _.a. the government will cover production costsb. global food supplies will be even lowerc. investment in agriculture will be profitabled. america will increase its food export62. what do the underlined words “to turn around the statistics” in the last paragraph mean?a. to reanalyze the result of the national census.b. to increase agricultural production.c. to bring down the average age of farmers.d. to invest more in agriculture.【要点综述】美国的农业目前正面临农民少，年龄大的问题。从而很多专家都鼓励专业大学生从事农业生产。59. a信息理解题。根据第一段第三句“the countrys farmers are getting older, and there are fewer people standing in line to take their place.”可知选a。60. d信息理解题。根据第二段第一句“merrigan, a former college professor, is making stops at universities across the country in hopes of encouraging more students to think about careers in agriculture.”可知选d。61. c推理判断题。根据第五段“global demand is at an alltime record high, and global supplies are at alltime record lows”可推断matt rush认为，全球对农业的需要达到了最高，而供应则最低，故在农业上投资肯定会获利，即选c。62. c语意推测题。根据最后一段第二句“this is a new time in agriculturewill motivate the next generation”可推断此处表示的是“农业的新时期将会激励下一代来参与，即农民的平均年龄将会年轻化”，故c项正确。阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项(a、b、c和d)中，选出最佳选项。【广东省六校2013年 5月模拟】b life is to be enjoyed. theres no point in giving up something you enjoy unless you get something back thats even better. when people eat more healthfully, exercise, quit smoking, and manage stress better, they find that they feel so much better that it reconstructs the reason for making these changes from fear of dying to joy of living. the latest studies show that when you exercise and eat right: your brain receives more blood flow and oxygen, so you become smarter, think more clearly, have more energy, and need less sleep. two studies showed that just walking for three hours per week for only three months caused so many new neurons (神经细胞) to grow that it actually increased the size of peoples brains!your face receives more blood flow, so your skin glows more and wrinkles less. you look younger and more attractive. in contrast, an unhealthy diet, chronic emotional stress and smoking reduce blood flow to your face so you age more quickly. smoking accelerates aging because nicotine causes your arteries (动脉) to narrow down, which decreases blood flow to your face and makes it wrinkle earlier. this is why smokers look years older than they really are.your genes change. in may, a study was published in the proceedings of the national academy of sciences showing that changing your lifestyle changes your genes. your telomeres (染色体端粒) get longer. telomeres are the ends of our chromosomes (染色体) that control how long we live. as telomeres become shorter, then cells age more quickly, thus shortening your life.besides, one of the most interesting findings in the study was that the mothers awareness of stress was more important than what was really occurring in their lives. the researchers gave the women a questionnaire and asked them to rate on a three-point scale how stressed they felt each day, and how out of control their lives felt to them. the women who were aware that they were under heavy stress had significantly shortened and damaged telomeres compared with those who felt more relaxed. on the contrary, some of the women who felt relaxed despite raising a disabled child had more normal-appearing telomeres.in other words, if you feel stressed, you are stressed; if you feel fine, you are fine.31. which of the following are good for lengthening ones life, according to the passage? eat healthy food drink plenty of water take exercise get up early go to sleep early release ones stress a. b. c. d. 32. the underlined words “your skin glows” in paragraph 3 are closest in meaning to _.a. your skin becomes white as there is plenty of sunshine b. your skin becomes smooth as there is much blood in itc. your
