21、 Can small, organic agriculture really feed the world? Won't we need science to produce enough food as the world population is growing to 9 billion by 2050? The answer to both questions is YES—but that science may look different than you think.
We've been told that the only way we'll be able to feed the growing population is through the science of GM crops and chemicals. But the latest scientific studies are saying just the opposite. In study after study, the message about agriculture is: To feed the world, we need to support sustainable（可持续的）agriculture on different local family farms that work with nature.
In 2008, an international study found that sustainable agriculture, not GM crops, shows more hope of ending hunger. The International Assessment of Agricultural Knowledge. Science, and Technology for Development（known as the IAASTD）, calls for a change of the world's food and farming systems.
The IAASTD reports that industrial agriculture has greatly destroyed the world's soils and other natural resources, and now is causing water pollution, energy crisis, and air pollution. The report warns that expensive, short-term ways—including GM crops are not likely to cut down long-term hunger, and could even make environment and social problems worse in many places.
A recent report by the UN Environment Program shows that food problems are becoming more serious and strongly supports sustainable agriculture on small family farms. It also shows that a worldwide change to organics can actually increase the world's food production by as much as 50%—enough to feed a population of 9 billion people with the land we have now. GM crops, once popular, are now being questioned worldwide.
【1】What is the best way to feed the growing population of the world?
A.In expensive, short-term ways.
B.By encouraging industrial agriculture.
C.By developing small, organic agriculture.
D.Through the science of GM crops and chemicals.
【2】Which of the following can best interpret sustainable agriculture?
A.The science of GM crops.
B.Working on small family farms.
C.A fast way to increase the world's food production.
D.An approach to agriculture without harming the environment.
【3】What is suggested in the last paragraph?
A.There will be less food problems if we use big family farms.
B.There will be less food problems if the world supports GM food.
C.There will be less food problems if we increase a lot of farm land.
D.There will be less food problems if the world supports sustainable agriculture.
【4】What might be talked about if there is one more paragraph?
A.The causes of food problems.
B.The disadvantages of GM crops.
C.The development of industrial agriculture.
D.The disadvantages of sustainable agriculture.
22、The word listen, as is shown in Longman Dictionary, means paying attention to what someone is saying or to a sound that you can hear. Listening is definitely an important skill in communication. “When people talk, listen completely.” Those words of Ernest Hemingway might be a pretty good guiding principle for many managers. After all, people like being listened to.
Some firms use a technique known as a “listening circle”. In such a circle, only one person can talk about the issues they face at a time and there is no interruption. A study cited in the Harvard Business Review found that employees who had taken part in a listening circle subsequently suffered less social anxiety and had fewer worries about work-related matters than those who did not.
Listening has been critical to the career of Richard Mullender, who was a hostage (人质) negotiator, dealing with everything from suicide interventions to international kidnaps (绑架). He defines listening as “the identification, selection and interpretation of the key words”. It is crucial to all effective communication.
Plenty of people think that good listening is about nodding your head or keeping eye contact. But that is not really listening, Mr Mullender argues. A good listener is always looking for facts, emotions and indications of the other person’s values. Another important point to bear in mind is that, when you talk, you are not listening. The listener’s focus should be on analysis.
Of course, a listener needs to speak occasionally. One approach is to make an assessment of what the other person is telling you and then check it with them. For example, you can check with the other person by saying “It seems to me that what you want is …”. That gives the other party a sense that they are being understood. The fundamental aim is to build up a relationship so the other person likes you and trusts you, Mr Mullender says.
【1】What can we learn about a “listening circle”?
A．A listening circle focuses on personal issues.
B．In a listening circle, a speaker won’t be interrupted.
C．A listening circle increases worries about work-related matters.
D．Employees get rid of social anxiety by taking part in a listening circle.
【2】What’s Mr Mullender’s attitude to speaking occasionally when listening?
A．Critical
B．Opposed.
C．Cautious.
D．Favorable.
【3】Why should we be good listeners?
A．To be liked and trusted by the other person.
B．To check our assessments with the other person.
C．To make assessments of what the other person is saying.
D．To have a sense of being understood by the other person.
【4】What’s the best title of the text?
A．The Analysis of a Listening Circle
B．The Tricks of Successful Listening
C．The Misunderstanding of Listening
D．The Necessity of Effective Listening
23、 My friends are often jealous of my good memory. When they were beating their brains to recall how many people attended John’s ninth birthday, I succeeded in reminding them of the details. I told them that Tom, Barbara, Tony and I did; that Mary brought a toy car as a gift, Tom brought a four-in-one game disc…; that John said after blowing out the candles his wish was to be a pilot when he grew up… When Bob, Jim and Elizabeth were quarrelling, faces flush with anger, about the name of the forest where they went camping, I stopped them by detailing to them on which date, which month, which year we visited which forest and ate what food for picnic…
Bob often says, “Lewis, if only I had a memory half as good as you!” Whenever hearing this, a voice shouted from the bottom of my heart, “How I wish God gave me a forgetfulness half as good as you!”
In fact, instead of being proud of my memory, I hate it; I’ve suffered a lot from it, for it is sometimes too good: I can remember everything I’ve experienced, including what I don’t want to remember; indeed, I do hope to forget something!
Barbara and I are best friends from the cradle. In fact, our relationship was already beyond friendship; it was that of lovers. But one day she left me for no reason except that I was too familiar to her to further our relationship. Over the next two months and a half, I couldn’t fall to sleep. While in bed wide awake, I warned myself, “You must forget her, otherwise you will get destroyed.” But my good memory failed me again and again — I could remember how beautiful it was when I first kissed her affectionately and then in turn received even more affectionate responses; I could remember every sweet word she had said to me…
【1】The first paragraph is intended to describe ________.
A.how the writer’s friends were jealous of him
B.what a good memory the writer had
C.what happy childhood he shared with his friends
D.what an important part he played among his friends
【2】Barbara left the writer ________.
A.for nothing B.because she hated it that he kissed her
C.because their friendship broke D.because she was tired of him
【3】Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A.The writer and Barbara had a long-time friendship.
B.The writer, somehow, hated his good memory.
C.The writer was struggling to tear himself off the pain of losing love.
D.Tony’s wish was to be a pilot when he grew up.
【4】What the writer suffered the most was that ________.
A.he had got too good a memory B.Barbara left for no reason
C.others were jealous of him D.the sweet past was out of memory

25、The more than 13 million tourists who visit Nara, an ancient capital of Japan, each year tend to follow a well-worn path. On their way into a park at the edge of the city they pass the towering, wooden pagoda of Kofuku-ji, a temple complex founded in 710. They continue to nearby Todai-ji, gazing in _________ at Japan's largest Buddha, a bronze behemoth weighing 400 tons and standing 150 meters tall. And finally they feed shika senbei, a special kind of rice cracker, to the sacred deer, some 1,300 of which live in the park.
The deer, though wild, have come to love the crackers. With tourism _________to a trickle because of the pandemic, they are hungry. Many have begun wandering far from home_________food. A recent study by the Nara Deer Preservation Foundation and Tatsuzawa Shirow of Hokkaido University shows that 20% fewer are spending their days in the park; incidents of damage caused by deer in town have _________. The less enterprising ones, apparently accustomed to eating only crackers, have become emaciated.
The deer are not the only ones going hungry. So are the business in places like Nara, which have come to rely ever more heavily on_________in recent years. Fewer than 7 million foreign tourists visited Japan in 2009; in 2019 some 32 million did_________ from tourism hit a record 4.8trm yen ($46bn). With the Olympic_________ for this past summer, Japan had hoped to welcome 40 million foreigners in 2020._________, after a near-total closure of its borders because of the pandemic, arrivals have dropped by 99.4%.
The government has tried to_________the blow by encouraging its own citizens to get out more. The Diet earmarked 1.35trn yen ($12.9bn) for “Go To Travel” subsidies, which provide discounts of up to 35% at____________hotels and inns; a concurrent program called “Go To Eat” applies to____________. The ministry of tourism says nearly 40 million nights have been booked under the program since it was launched in July. That is a pyrrhic victory (付出极大代价而获得的胜利): the campaign is thought to have____________to a recent uptick in covid-19. Daily cases reached a record of 2,680 on November 28th. Suga Yoshihide, Japan's prime minister, recently announced that the subsidies would be____________ in areas with high caseloads.
Japan is reluctant to give up on tourism, or to let the infrastructure that supports it wither. Officials see spending by foreign visitors as a means to____________for Japan's own shrinking population. Tourism may also help make Japan more open to foreign migrants in the future.
Meanwhile, the more resourceful deer in Nara have____________to a healthier diet of plants and nuts, which has been good for their insides. Their droppings, made pale and runny by the crackers, have become firmer and darker again. If only belt-tightening were as good for the economy.

26、There are two factors which determine an individual’s intelligence. The first is sort of brain he is born with. Human brains differ considerably, some being more capable than others. But no matter how good a brain he has to begin with, an individual will have a low intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn. So the second factor is what happens to the individual—the sort of the environment in which he is brought up. If an individual is handicapped (受阻碍) environmentally, it is likely that his brain will stop to develop and he will never attain the level of intelligence of which he is capable.
The importance of environment in determining an individual’s intelligence can be proved by the identical twins, Peter and John. When the twins were three months old, their parents died, and they were placed in separate foster (寄养) homes. Peter was reared by parents of low intelligence in an isolated community with poor educational opportunities. John, however, was educated in the home well-to-do parents who had been to college. This environmental difference continued until the twins were in their late teens, when they were given tests to measure their intelligence. John’s IQ was 125, twenty-five points higher than the average and fully forty points higher than his brother.
