2004 was a good year for American farmers. Total farm earnings were estimated (估计) at 74,000 million dollars for the year. That means the average(平均的) farm income was about 71,000 dollars, or a gain of about three percent from the year before.However, the growth in earnings depended on the size of the farm. Large farms had increased earnings of six and one-half percent. Smaller farms saw growth in earnings of less than three percent.Part of American farm income came from the federal (联邦的) government. The Department of Agriculture reports that about thirty-nine percent of farmers accepted some kind of aid(援助), or subsidy in 2003. Reports say the total amount of farm aid paid last year is estimated at 15,700 million dollars.An organization called the Environmental Working Group keeps information on allfarm subsidies paid by the government. The group examined subsidies between 1995 and 2003.It says ten percent of farms received seventy-two percent of government subsidies during that nine-year period. The group says big farms that are organized as corporations (公司) or partnership businesses receive the most aid. It says the big farms receive more aid, even when they are more profitable(盈利的) than smaller family farms.Critics(评论家) say farm subsidies are costly and wasteful. Critics also note that subsidies go only to growers of widely traded crops, like corn, cotton, wheat and soybean.But many farmers, including the ones who only receive a few thousand dollars a year, support the subsidy programs. They say small farming communities in states like Minnesota, Nebraska, and South Dakota would not survive without the aid.56. What is the probable number of American farms?A. 10 million.B. 1 million.C. 10 thousand.D. 100 thousand.57. Why was 2004 a good year for American farmers?A. American farmers’ earnings increased a lot in 2004.B. The federal government gave American farmers more aid in 2004.C. Big farms were organized as partnership businesses in 2004.D. The federal government reduced farmers’ taxes in 2004.58. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. All American farmers can get the government aid.B. Only big farms can get the government aid.C. Only profitable farms can get the government aid.D. Farmers growing crops like corn and cotton may get the government aid easily.第四部分: 写作(共五节，满分55分)第一节：单词拼写。

Secondly，lots of farmland has given way to factories and buildings due t o the rapid development of industry and urbanization. Besides ，faced with the rising energy prices，some people use grain for biofuel(生物燃料)，which has worsened the severe situation.How can we deal with the problem？On the one hand，we should focus on the environmental protection and improve the ecology.

Women in business were unheard of. No respectable woman would dream of entering what was strictly a “man's world”. Even if she would, what could she do? Men were sure that no woman could do a job well outside her home. This was a widely-accepted idea. When the famous Bronte sisters began writing books in 1846, they had to resort to using men's names as aliases.Teaching was the first profession opened to women, soon after 1800. But even that was not easy for women to take because most high schools and colleges were open only to men. Oberlin College in Ohio was the first college in America to take in women.Nursing was regarded as a respectable profession for women only after Florence Nightingale won high credit for her nursing career and became famous. Miss Nightingale opened the first training school for nursing in 1860 in England.The invention of typewriters in 1867 helped to bring women out of their homes to join the business world. Because women are careful and have nimble fingers, businessmen found that they were well suited to this kind of work.By 1890, tens of thousands of women were working in schools, hospitals, shops, offices, and factories both in England and the States. Some even managed to become doctors or lawyers. The idea of women working in business and other circles was accepted.（1）Oberlin College was the first college in America ________.A.where teaching was a profession only open to womenB.where girls could get advanced educationC.to train women to be teachers and nursesD.to accept women only as professors and students（2）It can be inferred from the text that besides nursing, Florence Nightingale was also ________.A.a doctorB.a lawyerC.a teacherD.a businessman（3）Quite a lot of women entered the business world ________.A.soon after 1800B.when Nightingale became famousC.at the beginning of this centuryD.after the typewriter came into being（二）A few weeks ago, I sat with a California farmer named Dave Ribeiro. I asked him what he wished to know about farmers. He smiled and said, "That we walk among you. We look like you and talk like you. We have advanced degrees and hobbies, just like you."Take Dave for example: He's a young man with a music degree. And if you walked past him on the street, you'd never think, "There goes a farmer."Is someone like Dave who you picture when you think of a farmer? Probably not. I think that most people would picture a man in his overalls(工作服). I can tell you, that does not represent Dave or any of the many other farmers I have gotten to know.Not only do we have to throw out our previous impression of farmers, but farming as a whole doesn't look much like it used to either. We recently sent a team out to see what modern farming looks like, and they found farmers to be completely different from our usual ideas about them and also came across them in some unexpected places.In a parking lot in a neighborhood of Brooklyn, they met a new crop of young farmers who were trying to bring fresh greens closer to eaters in the city by growing them in high-tech indoor vertical(垂直的) farms. In a Florida field under the fight path of an airport, they discovered farmers with university degrees growing plants that might someday fuel our cars. And in a modern farm in California, they observed how farmers were using technology to take the best possible care of their animals.These farmers all spend their days in very different ways—none of them looks like the previous farmer we have in our mind—but they're all working on new ways to feed our planet. Not only do we need to change our idea of what farming looks like, but we also need to change our view of where solutions can come from. Feeding all of us is going to take all of us working together.（1）How does Dave describe today's farmers? （）A.They often walk on the street.B.They are leading a very busy life.C.They are similar to ordinary people.D.They have little time to make friends.（2）How does the author think most people see farmers? （）A.They usually wear overalls.B.They have interesting hobbies.C.They are skilled at growing crops.D.They know modern farming practices.（3）What was the purpose of the team? （）A.To deepen connections among farmers.B.To study different technologies in farming.C.To find the new developments of modern farming.D.To encourage farmers to use new farming method.（4）What do the farmers mentioned in Paragraph 5 have in common? （）A.They all work in the city.B.They all use high technology.C.They all do hard physical work.D.They all work with universities.四、任务型阅读（共5分）As spring comes to half the world, many people can enjoy the new growth that comes with warmer weather. This is a great time to get outside and get dirty! ________ This outdoor activity gives us beautiful plants, pleasant smelling flowers and fresh fruits and vegetables. Moreover, it also gives us many health benefits.Gardening reduces loneliness. It connects people. When you are gardening, you are outdoors.________ Gardeners usually enjoy showing people what they are growing. And most enjoy sharing advice and stories about their gardens.Gardening is a great activity to do with children. It gets them outdoors and off computers, televisions and other electronics. ________ Gardening can teach a child about where food comes from and healthy eating. It can also help them to understand the limits of natural resources.________ This means you are getting vitamin D which helps your bodies take in calcium(钙). That is necessary to keep bones strong. When you garden you must move around. All the different movements needed for gardening—bending, stretching and lifting—work small muscles in the body.Gardening may help your brain stay young. In one study, researchers found that gardening could lower the risk of future dementia(痴呆) by 36 percent. ________ A flower and herb garden can help feed bees and butterflies. Growing herbs and flowers connects you to nature are pleases all of your senses.A. Vitamin D also helps us fight diseases.B. Children can learn about nature and wildlife.C. Gardening is popular in many parts of the world.D. So it is a perfect time to communicate with your neighbors.E. Some people may not have the resources to have their own garden.F. When you are in your garden, you might feel the sunshine on your skin.G. Gardening can also give you the feeling that you have done something good.五、语法填空（共14分）1.To ________ satisfaction, both of us finally finished homework before the deadline.2.She ________ (comment) that it was a better play than usual, and I agreed with her opinion.3.It was obvious that Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen became the focus ________media attention.4.You can't satisfy everybody.

I was barely 10 years old when my dad gave me the responsibility (责任) of feeding the chickens and cleaning up the stable. He believed it was important for me to have those jobs to learn responsibility. Then, when I was 22, I found a job in Natchbill at a country music club called the Natchbill Palace, I washed dishes and cooked from 4: 00 pm to 9: 00 pm and then went on stage and sang until 2:00 in the morning. It wasn ’t long before I became known as a singing cook. I had been rejected so many times by record companies that it was hard not to be discouraged. One night, a woman executive (懂事) from a company named Warner Brothers Records came to hear me sing. When the show was over, we sat down and talked and after she left, I said to myself it was one more rejection. A few weeks later, my manager received a phone call — Warner Brothers wanted to sign me to a record deal. Soon after, I released my first record in June 1986. It sold over 2 million copies. My best efforts had gone into every job I ’ve ever held. It was the sense of responsibility that made me feel like a man. Knowing that I had done my best filled me with pride. I still feel that way today, even though I have become a well-known singer.46. Why was the writer once known as the singing cook?A. Because he was a cook at a country-music club.B. Because he sang for guests while he worked as a cook.C. Because he often sang while cooking.D. Because he liked singing better than cooking.47. Who first recognized his talents and helped make his career successful?A. Wamer Brothers.B. His manager.C. His father.D. A businesswoman.48. What made the writer proud of himself?A. His ability to live independently.B. His sense of responsibility in he did.C. His courage in the face of rejections.8D. His hard work in his early days.BSome people make you feel comfortable when they are around. You spend an hour with them and feel as if you have known them half your life. These people have something in common. And once we know what it is, we can try to do it ourselves.How is it done? Here are several skills that good talkers have. If you follow the skills, they ’ll help you put people at their ease, and make friends with them quickly.First of all, good talkers ask questions. Almost anyone, no matter how shy he is, will answer a question. One well-known businesswoman says, “At business lunches, I always ask people what they did that morning. It ’s a common question, but it will get things going.” From there you can move on to other matters —sometimes to really personal questions. And how he answers will let you know how far you can go.Second, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen to the answers. This point seems clear, but it isn ’t. Your questions should have a point and help to tell what sort of person you are talking to. And to find out, you really have to listen carefully and attentively.Real listening at least means some things. First it means not to change the subject of conversation. If someone sticks to one topic, you can take it as a fact that he ’s really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to tones of voice. If the voice sounds dull, then, it ’s time for you to change the subject.Finally, good talkers know well how to deal with the occasion of parting. If you ’re saying good-bye, you may give him a firm handshake and say, “I ’ve really enjoyed meeting you.” If you want to see that person again, don ’t keep it a secret. Let people know what you feel, and they may walk away feeling as if they ’ve known you half their life.49. Asking questions might be a quite good and suitable way _______.A. for you to make more and more new friendsB. to begin your business talksC. to get the conversation going smoothly9D. for you to make a deep and lasting impression on others50. After having asked somebody a question, it ’ll be polite of you to _______.A. make clear what kind of person he isB. listen to his reply attentivelyC. wait quietly and patiently for his answerD. go on asking him more questions51. Generally speaking, good talkers are persons who _______.A. are good at making any topic interestingB. never talk too much or too littleC. always speak in a gentle wayD. know how and when they should change the topic of the talk52. If you really take delight in meeting someone again, _______.A. you may take him as your lifelong trustworthy friendB. it seems necessary for you to let him know itC. it ’s proper for you to give him a second handshakeD. it ’ll be helpful for you to have further understanding of himC__53__ .Being angry doesn ’t really solve much, but what people do when they feel angry is important. The goal is to calm down and try to solve what is bothering you. This is hard for some kids and adults, too. Instead of calming down, some kids might keep getting more and more upset until they explode like a volcano!10__54___ .Their anger might be so strong that they lose control of their temper. They may act in ways unacceptable and hurtful. People may say that someone has trouble controlling their temper.__55___Some kids might get so angry that they scream at their parents, break something , or even worse , hit their brothers or sisters._56____ .However, it ’s not OK for a kid to do any of those things .Kids don ’t want to act in this way , but sometimes angry feelings can be hard to manage. So what to do?Well, the good news is that kids don ’t just have to keep making the same mistakes over and over again.__57___ .Imagine your temper as a puppy inside you that needs some training. The puppy is not bad ---- it will probably turn out a great dog. It just needs to learn some rules because, right now, that puppy is causing some problems to you.A. You can train you temper.B. You don ’t want to cause trouble.C. Kids should be allowed to express their feelings, even angry ones.D. Everybody gets angry sometimes.E. In fact, they usually mean that a kid behaves badly when feeling angry.F. Instead of thinking of the person you ’re angry with, think of something else.G. Some kids get angry more often or more easily than some other kids.IV 短文改错文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。
