When the crops were good, the economy was good; when the cropsfailed, there was depression. People on city streets watched the yields and theprice of wheat with almost as much feeling as if they were growers. The marketing ofwheat became an increasingly favorite topic of conversation.War set the stage for the most dramatic events in marketing the western crop. Foryears farmers mistrusted speculative (投机的) grain selling as carried on throughthe Winnipeg Grain Exchange. Wheat prices were generally low in the autumn, butfarmers could not wait for markets to improve. It had happened too often that theysold their wheat soon after harvest when farm debts were coming due, only to seeprices rising and speculators getting rich. On various occasions, producer groupsasked for firmer controls, but governments had no wish to become involved, at leastnot until wartime wheat prices threatened to run wild.Anxious to check inflation (通货膨胀) and rising living costs, the federalgovernment appointed a board of grain supervisors (监视员) to handle deliveries fromthe crops of 1917 and 1918. Grain Exchange trading was suspended, and farmers soldat prices fixed by the board. To handle the crop of 1919, the government appointedthe first Canadian Wheat Board, with full authority to buy, sell, and set prices.(1).The author uses the term “lifeblood” to indicate that wheat was _.(A). difficult to produce in large quantities(B).susceptible to many parasites(寄生虫(C). essential to the health of the country(D). expensive to gather and transport答案：C更多优质自考资料，请访问自考乐园俱乐部/club/5346389(2).

It is now commonly known that AIDS is a deadly disease. It does great damageto human beings immune system, weakening resistance to disease and leading todeath due to utter weakness. To this day, there are no existing drugs that can killthe AIDS virus. It is a deadly battle between science and AIDS. This is only one side of the story. Although it cannot be cured, AIDS ispreventable. For those who have not caught the disease, the knowledge of preventivemeasures seems to be the most powerful weapon at hand. Since the discovery of the first AIDS patient in 1985, the number of HIV carriersis on an alarming rise in China and statistics show that young people are the morelikely victims of AIDS. Nationwide there are 214 million people between the ages of13 and 22, most of whom are students.

There has been a great deal of misinformation concerning the transmission ofAIDS. One of the mosting misleading myths is that AIDS can be transmitted by casualphysical contact such as kissing, shaking hands or sharing food containers.

This natural biologicalprocess is called adaptation (适应性). Among the superior characteristics developedthrough adaptation are those that may help in getting food or shelter, in providingprotection, and in producing and protecting the young. That results in the evolutionof more and more organisms that are better fitted to their environments.Each living thing is adapted to its way of life in a general way, but each isadapted especially to its own distinct class. A plant, for example, depends upon itsroots to fix itself firmly and to absorb water and inorganic chemicals. It dependsupon its green leaves for using the suns energy to make food from inorganicchemicals. These are general adaptations, common to most plants. In addition, thereare special adaptations that only certain kinds of plants have. Many animals haveadaptations that help them escape from their enemies. Some insects are hidden bytheir body color or shape, and many look like a leaf or a little branch. The coatsof deer are colored to mix with the surroundings. Many animals have the ability toremain completely still when an enemy is near.Organisms have a great variety of ways for adapting. They may adapt in theirstructure, function, and genetics (遗传素质); in their development and production ofthe young; and in other respects. An organism may create its own environment, as dowarmblooded mammals, which have the ability to adjust body heat exactly to maintaintheir ideal temperature despite changing weather. Usually adaptations are anadvantage, but sometimes an organism is so well adapted to a particular environmentthat, if conditions change, it finds it difficult or impossible to readapt to thenew conditions.(1).
