Despite countless warnings in recent years about the need to address a potential hunger crisis in poor countries and an energy crisis worldwide, world leaders failed to think ahead. The result is a global food crisis. Wheat, corn and rice prices have more than doubled in the past two years. And oil prices have increased more than three times since the start of 2004. These food-price increases. combined with increasing energy costs, will slow if not stop economic growth in many parts of the world and will even affect political stability. Practical solutions to these problems do exist, but well have to start thinking ahead and acting globally.Here are three steps to ease the current food crisis and avoid the potential for a global crisis. The first is to promote the dramatic success of Malawi, a country in southern Africa, which three years ago established a special fund to help its farmers get fertilizer and seeds with high productivity. Malawis harvest doubled after just one year. An international fund based on the Malawi model would cost a mere $10 per person annually in the rich world, or S10 billion altogether.Second, the U.S. and Europe should abandon their policies of paying partly for the change of food into biofuels. The U.S. government gives farmers a taxpayer-financed payment of 51 cents per gallon of ethanol (乙醇) changed from corn. There may be a case for biofuels produced on lands that do not produce foods tree crops, grasses and wood products but theres no case for the government to pay to put the worlds dinner into the gas tank.Third, we urgently need to weather-proof die worlds crops as soon and as effectively as possible. For a poor farmer, sometimes something as simple as a farm pond which collects rainwater to be used in dry weather can make the difference between a good harvest and a bad one. The world has already committed to establishing a Climate Adaptation hind to help poor regions climate-proof vital economic activities such as food production and health care but has not yet acted upon the promise.56. An international fund based on the Malawi model would_.A. cost each of the developed countries $10 billion per yearB. aim to double the harvest in southern African countries In a yearC. decrease the food prices as well as the energy pricesD. give poor farmers access to fertilizer and highly productive seeds57. With the second step, the author expresses the idea that _.A. it is not wise to change food crops into gasB. it is misleading to put tree crops into the gas tankC. we should get alternative forms of fuel in any wayD. biofuels should be developed on a large scale58. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. A rain-collecting pond is a simple safeguard against dry wealB. A Climate Adaptation Fund has been established to help poor C. The world has made a serious promise to build farm ponds.D. It makes a great difference whether we develop wood products or not.B I was being interviewed by a senior manager for a big company. I told him honestly that the principal reason that I was interviewing with them was my need to keep my family in Boston. My wife had recently died of a heart attack. A job in Boston would help me reduce some pain for my 16-year-old daughter and me. It was important to me to keep her present high school. Bruce, the interviewer, was politely kind, but he didnt search any further. He acknowledged(承认) my loss and, with great respect, moved on to another subject. After the next round of interviews, Bruce took me to lunch with another manager. Then he asked me to take a walk with him. He told me that he had lost his wife. And, like me, he had also been married 20 years and had 3 children. I realized that he had experienced the same pain as I had and it was almost impossible to explain to someone who had not lost a loved one. He offered his business card and home phone number and suggested that, should I need help or just want someone to talk to, I should feel free to give him a call. Whether I got the job or not, he wanted me to know that he was there if I ever needed help. From that one act of kindness, when he had no idea if we could ever see each other again, he helped our family deal with one of lifes greatest losses. He turned the normally cold business interview process into an act of earing and supporting for another person in a time of extreme need.59. According to the passage, the interviewer, Bruce, was very . A. generous B. kind C. happy D. mean60. The underlined word principal in the first paragraph probably means . A. main B. unimportant C. necessary D. possible61. We can infer from this passage that . A. the writer didnt get the job in the company B. Bruce made the writer pass the interview C. another manager also lost his wife D. the business interview was cold62. Which of the following statement is NOT true? A. The writers daughter was studying in Boston at that time. B. Both the writer and the interviewer experienced the same pain. C. Bruce was a senior manager of a big firm. D. Bruce wanted to make Mends with him because he gave him his business card and home phone number.C One would have to be a fool to overlook the importance of using positive thinking for you rather than snowing negative thinking to work against you. In recent years, research in psychopharmacology(精神药理学) has proved what many people have known over the centuries: a positive attitude is good for you, good for your health, good for your wealth, good for everything. Researchers have found that a positive attitude produces a specific chemical reaction which makes people feel better, while negative thinking results in a reduction of hormone(荷尔蒙) and shuts down the immune system. This leads to illness and depression. Positive thoughts will make you feel better. Even ifyou must begin by forcing yourself to be positive, it will become contagious and the positive thoughts will produce nice little chemicals and good feelings which will reinforce the positive thoughts. For example, if you force yourself to smile or laugh, even when you dont feel like smiling or laughing, if you keep at it for a few minutes, you will soon feel like it. Feelings can make thoughts alive, and thoughts can do it, too. Control your thoughts and you can control your feelings. Positive thinking is important in all aspects of our lives. There is probably no single factor more important in determining your success in achieving your career purposes than your own attitude. Its often been said that in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. And in the office of militant(好战的) negativism, the positive workers shine like gold. You cannot control external events, but you can learn to control your reaction to those events and thereby have a positive attitude and be happy. This important key to success is totally within your control. Use it.63. We can infer from the passage that . A. positive thinking can cure you of your diseases B. positive thinking can easily be generated by anyone C. a reduction of hormone may cause you to be depressed D. a specific chemical reaction is the cause of negative thinking 64. According to the passage, which of the following is true? A. Feeling and thoughts can react to each other. B. Its easier to control thoughts than to control feelings. C. Your success depends wholly on your attitude. D. Keeping smiling will surely make you successful. 65.Just like a one-eyed man in the land of the blind, you should . A. take positive attitude in the office of militant negativism B. be kind in your office C. pay no attention to what is going on around you D. control your feeling to what is happening to you 66.The best title to the passage is . A. Thinking Benefits People B. Why Should People Think C. Positive Thinking and Negative Thinking D. Thinking: The Important WayD What makes a person a scientist? Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others? The answer is No. It is not a tool a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that makes him a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter. You will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scientist, however, goes one step further: he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his question into a large set of ideas about how the world works. The scientists knowledge must be exact. There is no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are different, any change the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the change in the conditions. This is one reason that investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the theory of relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of his mathematics was later tested through investigation. Einsteins ideas are shown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations. 67. .knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone. The author says this to show . A. the importance of information B. the difference between carpenters and ordinary people C. the difference between scientists and ordinary people D. the importance of thinking 68. A sound scientific theory should be one that . A. works under one set of conditions at any time B. leaves no room for improvement C. does not allow any change even under different conditions D. can be used for many purposes69. Which of the following statements is NOT tree? A. What works under one set of conditions at one time might work under the same conditions at other times. B. Tools which a scientist uses for measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations. C. A scientist should know more about other branches of knowledge to arrive in his achievement. D. Knowing how to investigate, how to discover information is important to scientists.70. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Scientists are different from the ordinary people. B. The theory of relativity. C. Exactness is the secret of science. D. Exactness and way of using tools is the key to the making of a scientist.E根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。The right pair of exercise shoes can do a lot to prevent discomfort and injuries, personal trainers sayHere are some shopping tips: 71 Depending on your workout, shoes designed for walking, running, tennis, cross-training or another specialty will provide the best support for your feetShop when you normally exerciseFeet actually get bigger throughout the day, sometimes swelling up as much as a half-size by nighttime 72 Try them onNever grab a pair of exercise shoes based only on the size of footwear you normally buyBring the type of socks youd wear to work out and go for a walk through the store 73 You should be able to spread your toes out
