In particular, there was (and perhaps still is) a belief in fairies(仙女). Not all of these 21 are the friendly, people-loving characters that appear in Disney films, and in some folktales they are 22 and cause much human suffering. This is true in the tales about the Changeling（矮小丑陋的小孩）.These tell the story of a mother whose baby grows 23 and pale and has changed so much that it is almost 24 to the parents. It was then 25 that the fairies had come and stolen the baby away and 26 the human baby with a fairy Changeling. There were many ways to prevent this from happening: hanging a knife over the babys head while he slept or covering him with some of his fathers clothes were just two of the recommended （被推荐的） 27 . However, hope was not lost even if the baby had been 28 . In those cases there was often a way to get the 29 baby back. You could 30 the Changeling on the fire-then it would rise up the chimney, and you would hear the sound of fairies laughter and soon after you would find your own child safe and sound nearby.21.

Politicians worldwide are facing the anger of voters, and the potential for social unrest. But there seems to be no quick fix to the problem.Over the weekend, Ban Ki-moon, UN Secretary-General, sent further waves. One thing is certain, the world has consumed more grain than it has produced in the past three years.Statistics from the US Department of Agriculture show that since 2000, the only year that humans produced enough to eat was in 2020. In 2020, for example, the world produced 2,075 million tons of grain, but consumed 2,098. The short supply, a result of climate change and the development of bio-fuels, has led to the price hike of grains and social unrest in 30 countries worldwide. Supply and demand have become unbalanced, and. cant be fixed quickly. said Ali Ghurkan, a UN Food and Agriculture Organization analyst. Currently, the gap between supply and demand is being closed by eating into food stocks accumulated in better times. The worlds food stocks have fallen by half since 1999, from a reserve big enough to feed the entire world for 116 days then to a predicted low of only 54 days by 2020, according to the US Department of Agriculture.The miracle that has fed people from 1950 to the 1990s was the Green Revolution: higher-yielding crops that enabled humans to produce almost three times as much world food production during the four decades while increasing the area of farmland by no more than 10 percent. Meanwhile, the global population more than doubled in that time. But since the beginning of the 1990s, crop yields have essentially stopped rising.A new world policy on food was proposed by World Bank President Robert Zoellick to tackle the crisis. This new deal should focus not only on hunger and malnutrition, access to food and its supply, but also on the interconnections with energy, yields, climate change and investment, said Zoellick. We cant be satisfied with studies and paper and talk. This is about recognizing a growing emergency, acting and seizing opportunity, too.46. The underlined word “ tackle” in the passage probably means _A. concern B. solve C. face D. accept47. The best title of the passage would be_.A. New policy on food crisisB. World food reserve C. US food crisisD. World food crisis48. According to the passage, the factors related to the food crisis include_.a. the decreased reserve b. energy c. social unrest d. climate changee. crop production f. the increasing population g. investment h. waste of foodA. a,b,d,e,f,g B.a,b,d,c,f,h C.a,b,d,h,f,e D.a,c,d,e,f,g49. Whats the writers attitude towards the crisis?A. Optimistic. B. Pessimistic. C. Not clear. D. Neutral.50. Which of the following statements is true?A. Currently, politicians are too busy dealing with their voters anger to think out a proper answer to the food crisis.B. The global population is more than double, so we consumed more grain than before.C. According to Zoellick, it needs every countrys joint efforts to solve the problem of the food crisis.D. From the passage we can know that study and paper and talk do no good to solving the problem of the food crisis.C In ancient times, people thought that their gods lived on the tops of mountains. They therefore believed that anything above them was nearer to their gods than they. Naturally, they thought that birds were messengers from the gods. People also believed that birds carried their souls to the gods when they died. There were many beliefs about how to treat birds. Some people even believed that killing a bird was an act against the gods and would bring bad luck. In some parts of the United States, people still believe that if they hear an owl (猫头鹰) in the early evening, it means death. Another link with these past beliefs is in an English expression. People no longer believe that birds are messengers of the gods, but when someone knows a secret about another person, he or she might say, “A little bird told me about it.” We know, of course, that birds cant talk and that owls dont really mean death, yet we still have these superstitions（迷信）. Many sailors believe that if they see an albatross (信天翁), it will bring bad luck to their ship. People all over the world use the dove (鸽) as a symbol of peace and feel good when they see one. North Americans think of the eagle as a symbol of freedom, and some people still hold that dreaming a bird means that they are seeing the loss of a soul. 51.
