A
The world economy has run into a brick wall. Despite countless warnings in recent years about the need to address a potential hunger crisis in poor countries and an energy crisis worldwide, world leaders failed to think ahead. The result is a global food crisis. Wheat, corn and rice prices have more than doubled in the past two years. And oil prices have increased more than three times since the start of These food-price increases, combined with increasing energy costs, will slow if not stop economic growth in many parts of the world and will even affect political stability. Practical solutions to these problems do exist, but we'll have to start thinking ahead and acting globally.
Here are three steps to ease the current food crisis and avoid the potential for a global crisis. The first is to promote the dramatic success of Malawi, a country in southern Africa, which three years ago established a special fund to help its farmers get fertilizer and seeds with high productivity. Malawi's harvest doubled after just one year. An international fund based on the Malawi model would cost a mere $10 per person annually in the rich world, or $10 billion altogether
Second, the U.S. and Europe should abandon their policies of paying partly for the change
45. A. afraid B. proud C. well D. hard 46. A. in B. on C. before D. after 47. A. paid B. spent C. took D. cost 48. A. Before B. After C. If D. Though 49. A. appreciated B. beaten C. spoken D. examined 50. A.. conditions B. experiences C. experiments D. chances 51. A. looked out B. looked up C. looked over D. looked round 52. A. came out B. found out C. sent over D. set out 53. A. hit B. blamed C. praised D. charged 54. A. expression B. idea C. thought D. impression 55. A. honest
B. lies
C. goods
D. things 56. A. remember
B. learn
C. revise
D. read
of food into biofuels. The U.S. government gives farmers a taxpayer-financed payment of 51 cents per gallon of ethanol（乙醇）changed from corn. There may be a case for biofuels produced on lands that do not produce foods ---- tree crops, grasses and wood products ---- but there's no case for the government to pay to put the world's dinner into the gas tank.
Third, we urgently need to weather-proof die world's crops as soon and as effectively as possible. For a poor farmer, sometimes something as simple as a farm pond ---- which collects rainwater to be used in dry weather ---- can make the difference between a good harvest and a bad one. The world has already committed to establishing a Climate Adaptation Find to help poor regions climate-proof vital economic activities such as food production and health care but has not yet acted upon the promise.
57. An international fund based on the Malawi model would __________.
A. cost each of the developed countries $10 billion per year
B. aim to double the harvest in southern African countries in a year
C. decrease the food prices as well as the energy prices
D. give poor farmers access to fertilizer and highly productive seeds
58. With the second step, the author expresses the idea that __________.
A. it is not wise to change food crops into gas
B. it is misleading to put tree crops into the gas tank
C. we should get alternative forms of fuel in any way
D. biofuels should be developed on a large scale
B
When it comes to friends，I desire those who will share my happiness, who possess wings of their own and who will fly with me. I seek mends whose qualities illuminate（照亮）me and train me up for love. It is for these people that I reserve the glowing hours，too good not to share.
When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend. We were shy and “too serious” about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors. We said little at school，but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say：“Let’s start with a train whistle today. ” We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At the end of that school year, we，too，were changed into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped.
When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend. He was in despair（失望） and 1 was in despair. But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we had felt bad at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things. We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted. We gave London to each other.
For almost four years I have had a remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine. We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves. Each of us appears，sometimes in a funny way, in the other's dreams. She and I agree that, at certain times，we
seem to be parts of the same mind. In my most interesting moments，I often think：“Yes，I must tell. . . . ’’We have never met.
It is such comforting companions I wish to keep. One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist, who will only fill up the healing（愈合的） silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend.
61. In the eighth grade, what the author did before developing proper social behavior was to
__________.
A. become serious about her study.
B. go to her friend’s house regularly
C. 1earn from her classmates at school
D. share poems and stories with her friend
62. In Paragraph 3, “‘we gave London to each other” probably means__________.
A. our exploration of London was a memorable gift to both of us.
B. we were unwilling to tear ourselves away from London
C. our unpleasant feelings about London disappeared
D. we parted with each other in London
63. According to Paragraph 4, the author and her friend __________.
A. call each other regularly
B. have similar personalities
C. enjoy writing to each other
D. dream of meeting each other
64. In the darkest moments，the author would prefer to __________.
A. seek professional help
B. be left alone
C. stay with her best friend
D. break the silence
65. What is the best title for the passage？
A. Unforgettable Experiences
B. Remarkable Imagination
C. Lifelong Friendship
D. Noble Companions
C
C. You will have chances to watch and act in a play.
D. You have to do your own packing and unpacking.
五、任务型阅读（10空10分）
Manners nowadays in metropolitan（大城市的，大都会的） cities like London are practically non-existent. It is nothing for a big, strong schoolboy to push an elderly woman aside to take the last remaining seat on the underway or bus.
This question of giving up seats in public transport is much argued about by young men, who say that since women have claimed equality, they no longer deserve to be treated with politeness and that those who go out to work should take their turns in the rat race like anyone else. But women have never claimed to be physically as strong as men. Even if it is not agreed, however, the fact remains that courtesy （礼节） should be shown to the old and the sick. Are we really so lost to all ideals of unselfishness that we can sit there indifferently（冷漠的）reading the paper or a book, saying to ourselves “First come, first served,” while a grey-haired woman, a mother with a young child or a cripple stands？ Yet this is all too often seen.
Older people, tired and irritable from a day’s work, are not always considerate either-far from it. Many arguments break out as the older people push and squeeze each other to get on buses. One cannot approve this, of course, but one does feel there is just a little more excuse.
It seems urgent, not only that communications in transport should be improved, but also that communication between human beings should be kept smooth and polite. All over cities, it seems that people are too tired and too rushed to be polite. Shop assistants won’t bother to assist, taxi drivers shout at each other as they dash dangerously around corners; bus conductor pull the bell before their desperate passengers have time to get on or off the bus, and so on. It seems to us that it is up to the young to do their small part to stop such lowering of moral standards.
