26、 Big changes in agriculture are taking place in Singapore. The small, Southeast Asian nation is leading a farming revolution, according to the Reuters news agency.
Singapore covers 724 square kilometers of land and only one percent of that land is used for agriculture. Food production costs are higher there than the rest of Southeast Asia. As climate change and population growth threaten food supplies, the pressure is on new farmers to answer the government's call to “grow more with less".
"Whenever 1 talk about food security in Sin gapore, I tell people don't think land —think space, because you can go upwards and sideways." said Paul Teng, an agriculture professor at Nanyang Technological University.
There are more than 30 vertical (垂直的)farms in Singapore — ones that grow up, not across, the land. Sustenir Agriculture is one of these businesses. Its hydroponic (水栽法的) farm grows non-native foods like cherry tomatoes and strawberries inside buildings under artificial lighting. Then it sells the produce to local supermarkets and online stores. Sustenir raised $16 million from investors (投资人)last year. The money will be used to expand operations in Singapore.
However, not everyone thinks the new technology is best. Egg farmer William Ho says the government should not depend so much on agriculture technology businesses. “ Many of them have failed. That's why I'm always asking the government why don't you invest in us old-timers. We are more practical," he said. Professor Paul Teng said an issue for urban farmers is that the high cost of the technology makes their products too pricey for many people .
【1】What does the second paragraph mainly discuss?
A. High food production costs.
B. Reasons for changes in agriculture.
C. Agricultural technology businesses.
D. Sale expansion of food markets
【2】What is the way to achieve food security according to Paul Teng?
A. Exploring up the land. B. Buying more food.
C. Enlarging farmland. D. Investing more money.
【3】What do we know about the old-timers?
A. They work on high-tech farms.
B. They benefit from pricey products.
C. They reduce production costs.
D. They need government support
【4】Where is this text probably taken from?
A. A guidebook. B. A brochure C. A newspaper. D. A journal.
27、 I made my decision to start my own company and leave my stable position after attending a regional sales meeting. The vice-president of our company delivered a speech that changed my life. He asked us. "If genie（精灵）would grant you three wishes what would they be?" After giving us a moment to write down the three wishes, he then asked us. "Why do you need genie?" I would never forget the power I felt at that moment.
I realized that everything I had accomplished had prepared me for this moment. I was ready and did not need a genie's help to become a professional speaker.
When I tearfully told my boss my plans, this incredible leader whom I respect so much replied, "Go ahead with reckless abandon and it will pay off."
Having made that decision, I was immediately tested. One week after I quit mine, my husband was laid off（解雇）from his job. We had recently bought a new home me and needed both incomes to make the monthly mortgage payment and now we were done to no income. It was tempting to turn back to my former company, knowing they wanted me to stay, but I was certain that if I went back, I would never leave. I decided I still wanted to move forward rather than end up with a mouth full of "if onlys" later on. A motivational speaker was born.
When I held fast to my dream, even during the tough times, the miracles really began to happen. In a short time period my husband found a better job. We didn't miss a mortgage payment. And I was able to book several speaking engagements with new clients. I discovered the incredible power of dreams. I loved my old job, my peers and the company I left, but it was time to get on with my dream. To celebrate my success, I had a local artist paint my new office as a garden. At the top of one wall she wrote, "The world always makes way for the dreamer."
【1】What motivation did the author get from her vice-president?
A.Why she needed a genie to help realize her dream.
B.How could she realize her dream by a grantable genie.
C.She did not have to rely on a genie at all.
D.What wishes could a genie grant her.
【2】What attitude does the author's boss have to her plans?
A.Angry. B.Indifferent. C.Pitiful. D.Supportive.
【3】What happened after the couple lost their jobs?
A.The author came back to her former company.
B.They were determined and worked hard.
C.Their newly-bought house was taken back by the bank.
D.The author's former boss gave her husband a better job
【4】What does the text enlighten（启发）us?
A.Opportunity always comes to those who are prepared.
B.You will succeed as long as you stick to your dream.
C.It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him fish.
D.Helping others will benefit yourself as well.

29、The United States seems to have become extremely enthusiastic about competition. The famous Scripps National Spelling Bee — an annual spelling contest — now allows kids who lost in regional competitions but whose parents agree to pay an entry fee along with their own food and accommodation to compete. And while some kids are working for what they call a “spelling career”, others are approaching chess competitions, dance competitions, cooking or other passions (爱好) that previous generations developed somewhat later in life.
I’m disturbed by the phenomenon, which seems to be getting worse and more intense (激烈的).
My teacher always warned us that competition is a destructive quality; that the goal is never to beat anyone else. I think he’ll be cheered by author Peggy Noonan’s idea that a lot of us are running our own races, trying to rise to the occasion and beat some past and limited conception of ourselves by doing something great.
I heartily agree. Instead of paying attention to the accomplishments or possessions of others, we need to focus on our own potential, our own growth and take pleasure in our own particular set of circumstances. The battle for life is not against anyone else but against the darkness inside that tries to bring us down. I wish you only well. Your good doesn’t reduce mine. Your bad gives me no pleasure.
Ms. Noonan also suggests that “you’re running your own race alongside others running theirs, and in the same direction. You’re doing something great together.” If we stop worrying about what our neighbor is earning or driving, the size of his house, the success of his marriage, the accomplishments of his children, we can sit back and enjoy our own lives. And if we all focus on what we each can achieve, regardless of anyone else, we have a chance of working as one, of actually being united.
Competition divides us. There’re winners and losers. But that’s a very limited picture of reality. It may apply to spelling bees and soccer matches and even in some college classes, but life isn’t about triumphing (战胜) over someone else; it’s about triumphing over ourselves. The only acceptable competition is one where we encourage each other to be the best human being possible, and that’s the only game where “everyone’s a winner”.
【1】What does the author worry about?
A．Youth competition lacks diversity.
B．Youth competition is expensive.
C．Youth competition lacks fairness.
D．Youth competition is fierce.
【2】What should we do in the battle for life according to the author?
A．Know our competitors well.
B．Get rid of the bad things inside us.
C．Learn from others’ successes and failures.
D．Leave everything to chance.
【3】How does Peggy Noonan describe the way people live their lives?
A．No one goes in the same direction as anyone else.
B．One man’s loss is another man’s gain.
C．People follow parallel paths to each other.
D．People take turns to lead the race.
【4】Which could be the best title for the passage?
A．Competition Is a Good Thing, But Not to the Youth
B．Through Competition, We Become Better Ourselves
C．Your Real Competition Is With Yourself
D．Everyone Is a Winner in the Battle for Life
