countries manage to raise their living standard and demand more meat in their diet？Imagine trying to feed nine billion people with enough meat.In short，its simply impossible.Australian journalist and science writer，Julian Cribb，explains the challenges the world faces in feeding nine billion people by the year 2050.Cribb says there is a major problem in the current food system in the developed world，at least.As more and more people move towards city centres，the less and less they know about where their food comes from.Most think food simply grows on supermarket shelves，and they dont consider the environmental effects of food production.Food has many hidden costs：huge volumes of water，energy use and land degradation(退化)Consumers add their own costs by simply throwing away a lot of food.The figures for food waste in the West are staggering.To solve this problem of public ignorance about food，Cribb suggests that food should be taught as a subject at primary school.This would help to create a future generation that could better deal with the worlds coming food challenges.This powerful measure can help to raise a generation of educated consumers，more productive farmers，and so on.Cribb offers other solutions and suggestions as well.One is to increase the funding for agricultural science，which has been falling by the wayside in recent years.He suggests organic farming should be understood on a scientific basis，changing peoples thinking to one of a new form of “environmental agriculture”to get the very best out of organic farming systems.He says we should stop wasting food and learn how to grow food more cheaply.We should use less water，as water is one of the main inputs into food production.Cribb also suggests eating more fruit and vegetables.26In the second paragraph，one problem of the food system in developed countries is _.Aincreasing ignorance about the means of food productionBan increasing number of people moving to city centresCfood production doing harm to the environmentDthe cost of food production is increasing【解析】推理判断题。根据文章第二段的“Cribb says there is a major problem in the current food system in the developed world，at least.effects of food production.”可知，在发达国家存在着一个问题，就是随着人们转移到城市，他们对食物的生产过程一无所知，他们甚至认为食物是在超市的货架上长出来的，也不会考虑到食物生产对于环境的影响，由此可推断出人们对于食物生产了解不多，这方面的意识需要增强。【答案】A27What is the meaning of the underlined word in the fourth paragraph?AConfusing. BAstonishing.CPuzzling. DPleasing.【解析】猜测词义题。根据前面一句“Consumers add their own costs by simply throwing away a lot of food.”可知，消费者浪费食物增加了他们的花费，食物浪费这一现象在西方很严重，所以该单词意为“令人震惊的”。句意为“食物浪费的数字大得惊人”。【答案】B28According to Julian Cribb，what is the aim of making food a subject at school?ATo strengthen public awareness of food.BTo help students understand how to grow food.CTo develop agricultural science.DTo cultivate more productive farmers.【解析】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“To solve this problem of public ignorance about food，Cribb suggests that food should be taught as a subject at primary school.”可知为了提高人们对食物的意识，提出的建议是将食物作为在小学的一门课程。【答案】A29Which of the following may the writer disagree with?AThe public should save food and save water.BOrganic agriculture costs a lot in terms of resources.CMore money should be used for agricultural science.DPeople should eat less meat but more fruit and vegetables.【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段的“He suggests organic farming should be understood on a scientific basis.to get the very best out of organic farming systems.He says.more cheaply.”可知 Julian Cribb 建议采用有机农业，也是为了减少农业生产的投入，所以B说法错误。【答案】B30The text is mainly about _.Athe effects of agriculture on the environmentBthe effect of the worlds population on agricultureCfood problems in the future and some solutionsDthe development of agriculture in the future【解析】主旨大意题。本文主要引用了一个学者的预测，在未来几十年内粮食危机严重挑战人类的生存问题，并且介绍了一些这个学者所提出的建议和解决方法，所以答案是C。【答案】CBThe belief that someone other than a glovers son from Stratford wrote William Shakespeares plays is a theory that refuses to die.Doubters started questioning the true identity of the writer in the late 19th century.Ever since then，the theory of an alternate writer has attracted the interest of many scholars and researchers.Now，almost 300 Shakespeare doubters have made a very public plea to be taken seriously.On September 10，Shakespearian actor Derek Jacobi and Mark Rylanc，made the “Declaration of Reasonable Doubt”，created by the Californiabased Shakespeare Authorship Coalition，an educational charity，focusing on raising the awareness of the Shakespeare identity question.The document asks the world of academy to accept that there is “room for reasonable doubt about the identity of William Shakespeare”and to start taking the research into who is really responsible for his works seriously.Some famous names，like Mark Twain，Charles Dickens and Orson Welles，also sent their support in a list of people who expressed their own doubts about the writer when they were alive.At the heart of the problem is the fact that，for a man who was so prolific with his pen，Shakespeare didnt leave much evidence of his life behind.Most scholars accept that there is enough to prove that a William Shakespeare was born in StratforduponAvon，became an actor in London and came back to live in Stratford until his death in 1616.But thats where the agreement ends.Stratfordians，as they are known，believe that this William Shakespeare is the same man who wrote what would become known as the greatest body of literary works in the history of the English language.The AntiStratfordians say that there is，in fact，nothing solid linking Shakespeare with the plays，poems and sonnets addressed with the name.Now the game of titfortat is still going on.Maybe，one day，the truth will come out.31What do we know about Shakespeare from the text?AThere are many things about his private life in his books.BMany people thought he was not born in Stratford.CSome doubted that plays in his name werent written by one person.DSome people doubt the identity of William Shakespeare.【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段介绍可知，从19世纪末开始，人们就开始怀疑莎士比亚的身份了。故本题选D。【答案】D32Why did the Californiabased Shakespeare Authorship Coalition make the “Declaration of Reasonable Doubt”？ATo call on people to consider Shakespeares “true”identity seriously.BTo show that many famous people in history were also interested in Shakespeare.CTo give people a clear view of Shakespeares works.DTo help people know Shakespeare better.【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段的叙述可知，发表这一声明的目的在于提高人们确认莎士比亚身份的意识。【答案】A33What may the Stratfordians disagree with?AThe works of Shakespeare were some of the greatest in the English literature.BSomeone else may have borrowed Shakespeares name in writing.CShakespeare must have worked as an actor in London.DShakespeare kept his life secset.【解析】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段可知 Stratfordians 是赞成莎士比亚就是作者本人的名字的人，故B项说法错误。【答案】B34It can be inferred from the text that _.ATwain was an AntiStratfordianBShakespeare lived in the sixth centuryCStratfordians have got solid evidence to prove Shakespeares identityDDerek Jacobi believes there may be an alternative author to Shakespeare works.【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句话可知马克吐温也曾对莎士比亚的身份表示过怀疑，故可推知他是属于AntiStratfordian 这一派的。【答案】A35Whats the BEST title for the text?AThe Identity of ShakespeareBFacts About ShakespeareCA Brief Introduction to ShakespeareDHow Do People View Shakespeare【解析】文章标题题。文章就莎翁的身份之谜展开讨论及论证，故最佳的标题选A。【答案】ACHonesty may seem to be the best policy and a value that parents teach their children.However，a new study has suggested that parents lie to their children more often than we think.“We are surprised by how often parenting by lying occurs to our children，”said researcher Kang Lee of the University of Toronto，Canada.“Our findings showed that even the parents who attached much importance to honesty with their children got involved in it.”Researchers ran two studies in which parents and students commented on nine situations where a parent lied to a child to either shape behaviour or make it happy.For instance，a parent is embarrassed by a childs crying and says，“The police will come to make sure that you behave if you dont stop crying now.”To control the emotion of the child，the parent told the child：“a favorite uncle has just died and become a star to watch over you.”The researchers tested about 130 parents，mostly moms，asking whether they had told similar lies.More than 70 percent said they taught their children that lying is unacceptable.Even so，nearly 80 percent of the parents admitted they had told at least one similar lie.Researcher Heyman suggested the reasons can be benefiting the parents themselves or protecting the child from scary issues，such as lying about a murder in the news.“Children sometimes behave in ways that are likely to harm their longterm interests，”said Heyman.“It is common for parents to try out a number of strategies，including lying.When parents are dealing with the demands of getting through the day，concerns about possible longterm negative influences on childrens beliefs about honesty are not necessarily at the front position.”36What can we learn from Paragraph 2?AMost parents dont lie to their children.BMany parents get used to teaching children by lying.CHonesty is no longer important in educating children.DTheres no doubt that children often lie to their parents.【解析】细节理解题。从第二段中 Kang Lee 说的“We are surprised by how often parenting by lying occurs to our children”可知有很多家长在教育孩子的过程中会撒谎，故选B。【答案】B37The purpose of the parent telling the lie in Paragraph 3 is to _.Amake the child feel happyBgive the child a punishmentCprevent the child from cryingDteach the child to behave himself or herself【解析】细节理解题。从第三段的例子“For instance，a parent is embarrassed by a childs crying and says，The police will come to make sure that you behave if you dont stop crying now.”可知家长骗孩子说警察要来了，是为了让孩子停止哭泣。【答案】C38Which of the following is NOT a reason for parenting by lying according to the text?AChildren may feel happy with the lies.BParents want to free themselves from trouble.CParents need to protect the children from bad things.DChildren sometimes dont want to know the truth.【解析】推理判断题。第四段的例子说明家长骗孩子说过世的叔叔变成天上的星星，孩子会相对而言高兴一些，故排除A；从第六段“Researcher Heyman suggested the reasons can be benefiting the parents themselves or protecting the child from scary issues.”可知家长有时撒谎是为了自己的益处或者保护孩子免受不好事物的影响，故排除B、C项。D项在文中没有找到根据，故选D。【答案】D39According to Heyman，_.Anegative effects of lying arent paid enough attention toBchildren wont be misled about honesty by lyingCits unusual for parents to use lying to educate childrenDits strange that some people worry about childrens beliefs【解析】细节理解题。从最后一段 Heyman 的话“When parents are dealing with the demands of getting through the day，concerns about possible longterm negative influences on childrens beliefs about honesty are not necessarily at the front position.”可知在教育中说谎的负面影响并没有得到足够的重视，故选A。【答案】A40The purpose of this text is to _.Ashow that children learn to lie from their parentsBtell parents the importance of childrens honestyCshow how to educate children by lyingDshow parenting by lying is universal【解析】作者意图题。文章开篇先讲家长在教育子女的过程中撒谎已经成为普遍现象，后面用例子和调查结果来论述其普遍性及原因。故选D项。【答案】DDA new study finds that a face of a doll has to be very similar to a human face in order to appear alive，and that the key is mainly in the eyes.Several movies have tried but all failed to produce lifelike cartoons of humans.For example，the lifeless faces in the movie Polar Express made people uncomfortable because they tried to emulate(仿真)life，but didnt get it quite right.“Theres something basically important about seeing a face and knowing that it is real，”says Thalia Wheatley from Dartmouth College，who cowrote the study with his graduate student Christine Looser.Humans can see faces in anything，but we are much more discriminating when it comes to deciding what is alive and what is not.Wheatley and Looser set out to explain exactly the point at which a face starts to look alive.Looser drove around New Hampshire visiting toy stores and taking pictures of dolls faces.He then paired each doll face with a similarlooking human face and used the computer to mix the two.This made a whole continuum o
