Farmers will grow 90% more food than they did in 1985, 43 most of the increase would be in countries that 44 produce enough food for their people. 45 increase is expected in South Asia, Africa and the Middle East. Poor farming ways are 46 large areas of crop land, changing farms into deserts.

Some of these have been caused by new laws and others are result of changes in society.Relationships within the family are different now. Parents treat their children more equally than they used to, and children have more freedom to make their own decisions. The father is much busier in bringing up children, often because the mother goes out to work. As there are more places to go for amusement and sports, and people have more money to spend, each of the family members has more chances to take part in activities outside the home. Although the family holiday is still an important part of family life (usually taken in August, and often abroad), many children have holidays away from their parents, often with a school party or other organized group.People say that children today grow up more quickly. The law sometimes makes this possible. Look at the information below:YOUNG PEOPLE AND THE LAW Age 13 may be given a part-time jobAge 14 allowed in bars but not to drink alcoholAge 15 considered a “young person” and not a “child” according to the lawAge 16 school leaving age, can leave home, marry with parents permission (not needed in Scotland), and buy beer with a mealAge 17 can drive a car or motorbikeAge 18 of majoritycan vote, get married without parents permission, drink in pubs.56. Which of the following statements show the old way in family life?A. The family holiday is usually taken in August, and often abroad.B. People are able to pay for the activities outside the home.C. Mother doesnt take an active part in raising children.D. Parents treat their children rather equally.57. At the age of 16, a young person _.A. can drink alcohol with a mealB. can ride a motorbikeC. can get a full-time jobD. must continue to receive education58. In Scotland, if parents dont agree, 17-year-old young people _.A. cannot get marriedB. cannot drive a carC. can voteD. can get married59. The changes in the British family life have been caused _.A. by the fact that children grow up more quicklyB. by the freedom of childrenC. partly by new lawsD. partly by the family holiday abroadBThe America cigarette companies are worried about that the anti-smoking campaign is catching fire and that the U.S. government may issue stronger regulations about the use of tobacco.Many government and private buildings have “No Smoking” regulations, in airplanes, on trains and at cinemas. Golf courses are seriously thinking of keeping out smokers, so are schools, shopping malls and even football field.So where do people go to fill their lungs with nicotine? The government is working on it.One suggestion is that the government set aside a piece of land somewhere in the United States where smokers could go when they want a cigarette. Yellow Stone Park has been on the list, but many people dont agree because they fear that second-hand smoking would make the bears there sick.The Mojave Desert in California is also being studied, and so are Las Vegas Casinos.The smokers were not too nervous about the government idea. They say they are not going to California just to light up. They have a right to smoke at home. To make life more pleasant for those who find it hard to give up smoking, the government is seriously thinking of getting somewhere for the smokers.The officials in the government say they realize that they are bringing trouble to people by making them go so far away to blow smoke rings. But they just had to do this or to ban smoking in the entire country. Once everyone gets used to the idea, all will be better off soon.The tobacco companies are fighting the idea like mad. They say nobody has proved that cigarettes are bad for you. They say, as a matter of fact, the doctors have proved that a cigarette saved a persons life after that person was shot.Other places under consideration are: the cold areas in Alaska, the Rocky Mountains in Colorado and the Whitewater River in Arkansas.60. Smokers in the U.S. _ to light a cigarette now.A. find nowhereB. are not so freeC. have a rightD. have to travel a long way61. The smokers are not too nervous about the government banning smoking, for they think _A. it is not a good ideaB. it is still far awayC. they have right to smoke anywhereD. they may smoke at home62. The tobacco companies dont like the idea because they _.A. want to save persons livesB. wish smokers to stay at homeC. wish smokers to feel easyD. want to improve their cigarettes63. Which is right about the writers opinion according to the passage?A. He thinks the government should help the smokers to find a proper place.B. None of the places in the passage is proper for the smokers.C. The places are too far away for the smokers to light up their cigarette.D. He supports the U.S government idea.CThe big Town Hall clock was striking midnight when Frank began to cross the bridge. The dark night air was cold and slightly wet, and the street lamp gave little light.Frank was anxious to get home and his footsteps rang loudly on the pavement. When he reached the middle of the bridge he thought he could hear someone coming near behind him. He looked back but could see no one. However, the sound continued and Frank began to walk more quickly. Then he slowed down again, feeling shame at having acted so foolishly. There was nothing to fear in a town as quiet as this.Just then, he heard short, quick steps closely behind him. By the time he reached the other side of the bridge, he could almost feel someone at his heels(脚后跟). He turned round and there stood a man in a large overcoat. A hat was pulled down over his eyes and very little of his face could be seen. Frank said something about the weather, trying to sound friendly and calm. The man did not answer but asked rudely where Oakfield House was. Frank pointed to a big house in the distance and the stranger continued his way.Then Frank wondered why the stranger had wanted to find Oakfield House at such an hour.He knew that the people who lived there were very rich. Almost without realizing what he was doing, he began following the stranger quickly. The man was soon outside the house and Frank saw him look up at the windows. A light was still on and the man waited until it went out. When about half an hour had passed, Frank saw him climb noiselessly over the wall and heard him drop on the ground at the other side.Now Frank realized what was going to happen. He walked quickly and silently across the street towards a telephone box on the corner.64. Frank was feeling shame at _.A. having walked so quicklyB. having made a big noise at midnightC. having been afraidD. having been so anxious to go home65.

The man dressed in a large overcoat was _.A. very friendlyB. not polite at allC. a visitor to Oakfield HouseD. a police officer67. What kind of atmosphere does the writer want to create in this passage?A.FrighteningB. PeacefulC. LonelyD. QuietDA serious threat to farmers in many parts of the world is erosion. Erosion occurs if a large area of land is cleared of trees and is then badly treated by the farmers. The rain and winds may gradually (逐渐地) wash away, or blow away, much of the topsoil. When this happens, crops of wheat or corn become weaker and weaker until nothing grows well. If erosion continues, it will turn good land into a desert. In the past, when erosion appeared, farmers sometimes moved to a new place to farm. Sometimes they could not move, but continued to try to grow food in the unhealthy soil. This caused them to sink into poverty. Soon some people realized that there was little rich, fertile soil in the world. The government began to try to stop erosion. One of the first experiments to stop erosion began in the United States in 1933. the experiment was carried out in the area of the Tennessee River. Floods and bad farming in this area had ruined land that had once been rich. As a result, most of the people living around the Tennessee River were very poor.The government built big dams across the river and stored the water for use during the dry season when there was no rain. The government workers also helped farmers to fertilize their soil and to learn new farming methods which could stop erosion. At the beginning, the farmers were not interested. But soon, good healthy crops began to appear on the land where new methods were used. Ten years after the extremely prosperous, the great success of this experiment had led to similar projects in the other parts of the world.68. The underlined word “erosion” means _.A. the clearing of trees B. overuse of the landC. the destruction of cropsD. gradual loss of top soil69. The passage tells us that erosion is a problem which _.A. first began in the United States B. occurs mainly in river areasC. affects many parts of the worldD. is becoming more and more serious70. The main purpose of this passage is to tell people _.A. the importance of using new farming methodsB. how erosion occursC. some
