of the worlds freshwater withdrawals from rivers，lakes and other water resources go toward irrigating fields.Scientists are using biotechnology as well as traditional breeding methods to develop watersaving crops to feed a growing world.Tommy Carter is a plant scientist in North Carolina working for the Agricultural Research Service in the United States Department of Agriculture.He leads Team Drought，a group of researchers at five universities.They have been using conventional breeding methods to develop soybeans that can grow well under dry conditions.Tommy started working on droughtresistant soybeans in 1981.His research has taken him as far as China，where soybeans have been grown for thousands of years.Farmers in the United States，however，have grown soybeans for only about a century.Tommy Carter says the soybeans they grow are for the most part genetically similar.More differences could better protect crops against climate changes that can reduce production.Those changes include water shortages which could increase from global warming.The Agriculture Department has a soybean germplasm collection (种质收集)，a collection of genetic material passed from one generation to the next.Members of Team Drought studied more than 2,500 examples from the collection.They looked at those from Asia and searched for germplasms that could keep plants from weakening and wilting (枯萎) during hot，dry summers in the United States.Tommy says they found only five，but these slowwilting lines can produce more than normal soybeans under drought conditions.The team is now doing field tests.The first breeding line is expected to be released next year for use by private seed companies and public soybean breeders.Scientists are also working on other crop plants that either use less water or use it better，or both.56The scientists are developing the crop plants because_.Atraditional crop plants cant grow under dry conditionsBonly biotechnology could lead to a success in this areaCirrigating fields has used almost 60% of our freshwaterDwe need new crops to save more water than ever before57From the passage we know that Tommy Carter_.Ais now teaching at five universitiesBorganized Team Drought in 1981Conce went to China to study soybeansDdiscovered the genetic material of soybeans58According to the passage，the five examples from Asia need less water under drought conditions because_.Asoybeans have been grown in Asia for thousands of yearsBthe germplasms are different from those of American soybeansCthe history of soybeans growing in America is only a centuryDthe problem of water shortages in Asia is much more serious59What will the writer most probably write about next?ASome other research on crops that use less water.BThe conclusion that less water is needed for soybeans.CMore information about Tommy Carters new soybeans.DThe reason why the climate changes have taken place.60The passage is mainly talking about_.Aconventional methods of plants breedingBefforts to develop crops using less waterCthe history of soybeans growing in ChinaDwhat some scientists do to change the climateBScience and technology students in China and the US have a long way to go before they can develop a deep understanding of scientific reasoning，researchers have found.As part of a research to compare science education in China and the US，Lei Bao，a professor from the Department of Physics of the Ohio State University，gave 5,760 freshmen in three US and four Chinese universities two tests to evaluate content knowledge and another to assess scientific reasoning.Though Chinese students did better than their US counterparts in the first two tests that emphasized on learning facts，both groups “scored relatively poorly” on the third test，designed to assess their ability to systematically explore a problem，the results showed.Lei Bao said that the finding challenges conventional wisdom，which holds that teaching science facts will improve Students reasoning ability.“Our study shows that，contrary to what many people would expect，even when students are thoroughly taught the facts，they dont necessarily develop the reasoning skills they need to succeed，” Bao said.“Because students need both knowledge and reasoning，we need to explore teaching methods that target both.”The current education systems and assessment of China and the US do not emphasize on deep understanding of scientific reasoning in the disciplines of science，technology，engineering and mathematics (STEM)，the study concluded.Bao explained that reasoning is a good skill for everyone to possessnot just scientists and engineers.The general public also need good reasoning skills in order to correctly interpret scientific findings and think rationally.STEM students need to excel_at scientific reasoning in order to handle openended realworld tasks in their future careers in science and engineering.How to boost scientific reasoning？The study suggests that educators must go beyond teaching science facts if they hope to boost students reasoning ability.Bao points to inquirybased learning，where students work in groups，question teachers and design their own investigations.This teaching technique is growing in popularity worldwide.61According to the research，we know that_.AChinese students and their US counterparts did poorly in the first two testsBChinese students did better than their US counterparts in all the three testsCChinese students did better than their US counterparts in the first two testsDUS students did better than their Chinese counterparts in the third test62The conventional wisdom holds that_.Athe more facts students are taught，the more reasoning skills they will acquireBthe general public also need reasoning skills to interpret scientific findingsCto boost studentsreasoning ability，educators must explore teaching methodsDthe current education systems are harmful to improve students reasoning ability63Based on the study，what will be done to improve studentsreasoning ability?ATo improve teaching techniques.BTo better studentslearning conditions.CTo teach students more science facts.DTo offer students more tests.64The underlined phrase “excel at” in Paragraph 6 probably means_.Abe worse at Bbe better atChe enthusiastic about Dbe inferior to65Which of the following is correct according to the passage?ALittle needs to be done to develop studentsreasoning ability in the US.BOnly scientists and engineers need reasoning abilities.CTwo tests were carried out to evaluate studentsscientific reasoning.DInquirybased learning is a good way to boost studentsreasoning ability.CAlice watched from her brothers New Orleans house as Hurricane Katrina split trees，broke windows，and swallowed cars，including her own.A few miles away，her best friend，Pat，also a nurse，was supervising patients in the highrisk hospital when the river banks broke.For the next six days，Pat and her crew lived there until a rescue boat picked them up.Both of them were evacuated_to safer parts of the States.Weeks later，they，like thousands of others，returned to find their homes uninhabitable，their jobs gone.The following spring，as she was rebuilding her life，Alice contacted an information centre for returning residents.When asked if she would head a desperately needed clinic，Alice said shed do it，but only with Pat.It took Pat less than five minutes to say yes.And after consulting with her children，she offered her damaged home as the new clinic.As word spread，help poured in.Groups raised money and donated medical equipment，exam tables，free ductwork，other supplies and even labor.Bedrooms were transformed into exam rooms and Pats living room into a waiting room.On February 27,2007，the clinic opened，with patients lined up around the block.Those who came in that first day were very sick with problems from not taking their medicine for a year after Katrina.Over 1,200 people have made their way to the clinic，whose decoration passes what Pat calls the mama test：“Would your mama feel comfortable here？” Until recently，it was the only healthcare facility in there.“Its a relief to have a clinic right here in the neighborhood where I can check my pressure，” says Latoya Owens,30，who suffers from hypertension.“This is the most rewarding thing Ive ever done，” says Alice.Adds Pat，“Im alleviating (减轻) some suffering in an underserved population.I listen to their stories，and I cry a lot.People outside New Orleans think things are back to normal here，but we are far from that.”66When Hurricane Katrina arrived，_.AAlice was driving to her brothers houseBPat was visiting in a hospitalChouses were destroyedDpeople were rescued to safety67What does the fifth paragraph mainly tell us?AThe clinic opened a year after Hurricane Katrina.BThe clinic helped local people a lot.CThe clinic was the only one of its kind in the neighborhood.DThe clinic was decorated to peoples satisfaction.68Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?AThings in New Orleans were much worse than people thought.BAlice felt happy and satisfied about what she was doing.CPat thought a lot before agreeing to work together with Alice.DPeople were ready to help when disasters happened.69Pat cried a lot probably because_.Ashe was sad about what people had sufferedBshe was moved by peoples help to the clinicCwork in the clinic was too difficultDshe lost her job and home during Hurricane Katrina70The underlined word “evacuated” in the second paragraph most probably means “_”Aforced Battached Crelated DmovedDI quit the game，WOW，a couple of years ago.My life has improved dramatically.I went from being single to being engaged，I received a second promotion in my career，and life couldnt be better.But even then，I still had an urge to play and I thought about it every day.About a month ago，I decided to start playing again.My friends still played and claimed that its better than before.So I figured Id give it a shot，and so far Ive managed my time well.But the funny thing is that Im not enjoying it as much as I thought I would.That sense of accomplishment I used to have back then is gone.I figured out why.My enjoyment in the game came from progression.I loved accomplishing quests，hitting 60，and then beating the bosses with 40 other people.Some nights sucked (糟透了)，when nothing was done.But other nights，when we beat the hell out of a main boss，it felt incredible.I was actually progressing and improving in something.It may not have been real life，but it was there，on my screen，and it was visible for all to see.But now Ive actually pursued tangible goals，and realized the sense of accomplishment in WOW is worthless.I dont get excited when the list of epic drops from a boss is sent to me from my friends.I havent even been interested in getting a flying mount，or PVP gear.I just dont really care about them.I actually dont care about anything that happens in the game，except for some quests.1 out of every 10 quests you do has an enjoyable story that makes it more interesting.But even so，they are what you can get out of a book，or a good single player game.Even though WOW is enjoyable in some aspects，its extremely boring in others.Now to me，above all，its not worth my time to go through it.71The underlined “it” in Paragraph 2 refers to_.Athe game Bthe urgeCthe promotion Dthe goal72Why did the writer quit the game a couple of years ago?ABecause he found much more fun from other games.BBecause he couldnt get progression sometimes.CBecause he followed his girlfriends advice.DThis passage doesnt tell us.73According to the passage，we can infer that_.AWOW has changed greatlyBWOW is attractive to everybodyCthe writer was once addicted to WOWDWOW helps you improve your life74Whats the only part of the game the writer is now interested in?AA flying mount. BA main boss.CSome quests. DEpic drops.75What can be concluded from the last paragraph?APlaying WOW is timeconsuming.BThe writer wont play WOW any more.CWe must play the game in a proper way.DEveryone should be responsible for his or her family.第卷(非选择题，共45分)第四部分：书面表达(共两节，满分45分)第一节阅读表达(共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分)Teens are often called upon to care for a parent.Whether it is due to a short virus，broken legs or longterm illness，there are times when parents cant do it all on their own and a teen is the most suitable person in the home to lend a helping hand.However，you are still a young person and should be concentrating on your own education，so find support if you think it is imperative.Understand the situationIt is of great importance.If you dont know yet，find out what the injury or illness is，who your parents doctors are and if there are any types of medications tha
