may have to pay a little more for their holiday bird this year although how much more will depend on competition between stores. production costs are going up. turkeys are fed mainly by corn and soybean (大豆). corn was an average of two dollars a bushel (蒲式耳,容量单位) last year. this year it was three dollars, and, at times, it even topped four dollars. the department of agriculture says one-quarter of the record corn crop expected this year could be used to produce ethanol (乙醇). also, higher oil prices mean higher transportation costs another reason for costlier corn. not only that, soybean production is down from last year. turkey producers in the united states are expected to raise two hundred and seventy-two million birds this year. that estimate is four percent higher than last year. the united states imported ten million dollars worth of live turkeys during the first half of the year and almost all of them came from canada. during that period the united states had a five-million-dollar trade deficit (赤字) in live turkeys. a turkey can be a little tricky to cook. the breast meat cooks faster than the leg meat, so if you arent careful, it can dry out. there are many turkey cooking suggestions on the internet. one we found called the worlds best turkey calls for butter, two apples, a tablespoon of garlic powder, and salt and pepper to prepare it.56. all the following are reasons for the rising price of turkeys except that _.a. the price of corn has risenb. the production of soybean is downc. the transportation costs of corn are higherd. the turkeys are imported from canada57. the underlined word costlier in the second paragraph probably means _.a. more expensive b. a larger amount ofc. cheaper d. a smaller amount of58. the corn price is rising probably because _. a. lots of corn is being used to produce fuelb. most farmers dont want to grow cornc. farmers sell corn at higher prices d. production costs are going up59. the worlds best turkey is about_. a. how to buy a cheap turkeyb. how to find the best turkeyc. how to cook the most delicious turkeyd. where to buy the best turkeybfarming was once the chief way of life in nearly every country. people cannot live without food, and nearly all their food comes from crops and animals raised on farms. many other materials such as cotton and wool also come from plants and animals raised on farms. not many people farm for a living any more, but farming remains the most important work in the world at present. before the nineteenth century, the typical american family lived on a small farm. they raised pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, and planted corn, beans, fruits, garden vegetables, rice, and wheat. everyone worked long and hard, but the results were often poor. families harvested just enough food for themselves. this situation began to change during the last half of the 1800s and it changed remarkably (明显地) in the following century. scientific methods and labor-saving machinery have made farming increasingly productive in the us. the development of improved plant varieties and chemical fertilizers (肥料) has helped double and even triple (三倍) the production of some major crops. more scientific animal care and animal raising have helped increase the amount of meat and other products animals produce. at the same time, the use of tractors and other modern farm equipment has sharply reduced the need for farm labor. as farming has become less important as a way of life in the united states, it has become more important as a source which offers materials to industry. todays successful farmers are experts not just in agriculture but also in accounting (会计), marketing and finance (金融). farms that are not run in a similar way have great difficulty competing.60. we are told in the first paragraph about _. a. the history of farmingb. the importance of farmingc. the development of farming d. the changes of farming61. which of the following describes american farming before the 19th century?a. farmers didnt work hard on their farms.b. farmers used tractors to help them.c. farming was the main way of living for most people. d. farmers could supply materials to industry.62. which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?a. traditional american farming.b. the increase in the number of crops in the us.c. modern farming methods.d. american farmershard work. cjoan of arc was only seventeen when she was riding at the head of the army that liberated france from the english. sir isaac newton had largely discovered his famous laws by the time he was twenty-three. henry clay was sent to the united states senate (参议院) at twenty-nine. raphael painted his most important pictures at twenty-five. of course, most of us will never have the prominence of these great people. but many people feel as if they should leave more of a mark on the world. it helps to remember that there is a time for everything and everybody. our time to bear good fruit maybe come later. in fact, we may do our best work, or find our own places later in life. colorado (科罗拉多) aspen (白杨) trees grow straight and tall. this often happens in the rocky mountains. after being destroyed by a forest fire, aspens are usually the first trees to return to life. they reforest an area quickly, providing shade for evergreen (常青树) trees. these evergreens grow slower, but may live many years longer than the aspens. each tree grows in its own time. so does each person. some people come to fruition (成就) quickly, but others do greater things in their late years. if youve not yet come into your own, dont worry. do your work well and hope for your opportunity. dont give up, and be fairly patient. remember, storms and disease are destructive (破坏性的), but they can also make you stronger. with proper education, you will in time enjoy a full harvest. but the time to begin is now.63. the author uses the example of colorado aspen trees to _.a. show those who come to fruition quickly are luckyb. show they are more useful than evergreen treesc. prove each one will do something great sooner or later d. prove aspen trees are stronger than other ones64. according to the author, if you dont succeed now you _.a. should work hard and wait for your chance patientlyb. can have a good rest and then hope for chancec. should give up trying and live a common life d. can ask others to help you and encourage you 65. which of the following would be the best title for the passage?a. everyone has his achievement b. one is never too old to do something c. wait for your opportunity d. learn from aspen trees d streit was an experienced safecracker who never used force either against people or safes (保险箱). he was a real artist of his trade and it took him only 19 minutes to open the most difficult safe he had ever encountered. in about 10 years, helped by his brother stefan and two friends, he took about $330,000 from the safes of 28 banks in austria. on his last job, early in 1999, he left the safe door open and $80,000 behind. with the money was a note, we dont need all that much. a witness (目击者) recognized his car and streit was caught by the police. then he was sent to austrias stein prison to serve a six-year sentence. he boasted (吹嘘) at his trial that he would continue breaking the law, i am a thief and i shall use every opportunity. despite the warn-ing, prison officials moved streit to the prisons blacksmith (铁匠) shop. one day during the week before christmas, streit disappeared. searchers found all his doors were well locked. streit had managed to make a set of keys and let himself out. not to freedom, though. after crossing into bavaria, streit attracted the suspicion (怀疑) of german customs police on purpose and got himself arrested. i want to be in a german prison,he explained to the surprised police. as german courts give much milder (温和的) sentences for crimes like mine and will reduce the time i would otherwise have served in stein prison. in prison, streit persuaded his keepers to let him make a christmas eve telephone call to his former keeper, karl schreiner of stein prison. im sorry if i caused
