26、The organic foods have gained a lot of popularity as they are being considered as healthier and tastier. A fair number of people advocate a large-scale shift to organic farming from conventional agriculture. But this might not seem well-founded.

Since the mid-19th century, conventional industrial agriculture has become incredibly efficient on a simple land to food basis. Conventional farming gets more and more crop per square foot of land, which can mean less wilderness needs to be transformed to farmland.

To make farming more efficient, conventional agriculture uses a significant amount of synthetic fertilizer each year, and all that nitrogen(氮) enables much faster plant growth.   However, the cost is paid in vast polluted dead zones at the months of many of the world’s rivers, because much of the nitrogen ends up running off the soil and into the oceans. This also makes conventional farming one of the major threats to the environment.

To weaken the environmental impact of agriculture, improve soil quality as well as produce healthier foods, some farmers have turned to organic farming. Environmentalists have also   welcomed organic food as better for the planet than the food produced by agricultural corporations. Organic practices—refusing artificial fertilizers and chemical pesticides—are considered far more sustainable. Sales of organic food rose 7.7% in 2010, up to $26.7 billion—and people are making those purchases for their moral senses as much as their tongues.

Yet a new meta-analysis in Nature does the math and comes to a hard conclusion:   organic farming produces 25% fewer crops on average than conventional agriculture. This is definitely a downside of organic farming, especially when global population is still growing rapidly.

In the Nature analysis, scientists performed an analysis of 66 studies comparing conventional and organic methods across 34 different crop species, from fruits to grains. They found that organic farming delivered a lower output for every crop type, though the difference varied widely. For crops like fruit trees, organic trailed(落后于)conventional agriculture by just 5%. Yet for major grain crops and vegetables—all of which provide the world’s main calories—conventional agriculture outperformed organics by more than 25%.

What that means is that while organic farming may be more sustainable than conventional agriculture, there are trade-offs(此消彼长)with each. So an ideal global agriculture system may borrow the best from both systems rather than upholding merely organic or conventional practices.

【1】What do we know about conventional farming?

A．It produces more crops with fewer fertilisers.

B．It achieves efficiency at a huge cost to the environment.

C．If offers a long-term solution to global demand for food.

D．It performs far better for each crop type than organic farming.

【2】What does the author most probably agree with?

A．Employing organic farming to plant rice.

B．Adopting organic practices to grow potato.

C．Using conventional methods to plant cabbage.

D．Applying conventional farming to grow apple.

【3】Which of the following shows the development of ideas in this passage?

CP: Central Point   P: Point       Sp: Sub-point(次要点)   C: Conclusion

A．

B．

C．

D．

【4】What’s the author’s purpose of writing the passage?

A．To compare two types of farming.

B．To criticize conventional agriculture.

C．To discuss the development of farming.

D．To argue for a realistic agriculture system.

27、Self-disciplined people are not all outstanding people.【1】Some of them read every day. Some of them never run late. The real difference between an elite person and an ordinary person is that an elite person can manage his or her time well.【2】

What people call self-discipline is in fact self-management. One example is staying fit. Never underestimate someone who is in good shape. Anyone who has ever tried to lose weight knows that it’s not easy.【3】If someone is in good shape, it shows that he knows the principles of staying fit and is able to stick to a plan that uses these principles.

If someone is in good shape, it means that this person is good at managing themselves and their time.【4】It also shows that this person is able to keep persevering and can balance long-term goals with short-term goals. So if someone is in good shape, he or she is more than just healthy.

【5】First of all, set a goal and write down your reasons for wanting to achieve it. Create a list of all the things you need to do to achieve this goal and start to work on them one at a time. With self-discipline, small things in life will no longer trouble you. Only through self-discipline can you truly own your future.

A．How do you learn self-management?

B．That’s where their success comes from.

C．This skill gives you the power to stick to your decisions.

D．But nearly all outstanding people are self-disciplined people.

E．Whether it is natural or acquired, it is a great skill.

F．It’s even harder to avoid putting weight back on.

G．Self-discipline means self control, which is a sign of inner strength.

28、For the general public confused by the heated discussion on human cloning, A Clone of Your Own? does an admirable job in explaining many of the ethical (伦理的) and scientific problems. Drawing from literature, the visual arts, films and her personal experiences, Arlene Judith Klotzko has created an overview of cloning.

Klotzko tells us about the early experiments that Aristotle did with chicken embryos (胚胎); about a German scientist, Hans Spemann, who figured out the theory of cloning some sixty years before we actually succeeded in cloning; about Dolly, the first cloned sheep at Edinburgh’s Roslin Institute; and about the current successes and failures in attempts to cloning.

The book paints a picture of human cloning as a worthwhile job. Klotzko lists many potential benefits that cloning could have. She also, following several others, makes clear many of the common misunderstanding concerning cloning, and puts in plain words the limited effect that genes have on shaping the kind of people we become.

A Clone of Your Own? provides clear explanations of both the basic scientific and ethical problems surrounding cloning. Klotzko appears to have drawn on a wide range of published work on the ethics of cloning, and makes a large number of the arguments in the literature in this short book. However, readers who are unaware of the literature may be left with the impression that Klotzko is the first and the only person to have written on the ethics of cloning, which is far from the case. It is a pity that the author and the publisher have provided so little reference to the ethics literature and given so little sign that they are aware of it. Whether one's interest lies in the science or the ethics of cloning, the short list of further reading provided at the end of the book is unhelpful and misleading.

But this warning aside, the drawings in this book and Klotzko’s words make the book highly approachable. The public who would like to understand what the debate on human cloning is should read this book.

【1】What does Klotzko tell us in A Clone of Your Own?

A．Aristotle gave the theory of cloning.

B．Dolly is the earliest cloned animal.

C．Spemann cloned the first sheep.

D．Cloning is a heated topic.

【2】What is Klotzko’s attitude towards cloning?

A．Positive.

B．Negative.

C．Uninterested

D．Doubtful.

【3】What can we learn from paragraph 4?

A．Klotzko is the first to write on the ethics of cloning.

B．Publishers offer reference to ethics literature.

C．The list of further reading provided in the book is helpful.

D．Klotzko makes lots of arguments in the literature.

【4】What is the purpose of the text?

A．To recommend a book.

B．To explain a problem.

C．To remember a writer.

D．To introduce a discussion.

29、A world-famous Canadian author, Margaret Atwood, has created the world's first long-distance signing device(装置), the LongPen.

After many tiring book-signing tours from city to city, Atwood thought there must be a better way to do them. She hired some technical experts and started her own company in 2004. Together they designed the LongPen. Here's how it works: The author writes a personal message and signature on a computer tablet (手写板) using a special pen. On the receiving end, in another city, a robotic arm fitted with a regular pen signs the book. The author and fan can talk with each other via webcams（网络摄像机）and computer screens.

Work on the LongPen began in Atwood's basement (地下室). At first, they had no idea it would as hard as it turned out to be. The device went through several versions, including one that actually had smoke coming out of it. The invention finally completed, test runs were made in Ottawa, and the LongPen was officially launched at the 2006 London Book Fair. From here, Atwood conducted two transatlantic book signings of her latest book for fans in Toronto and New York City.

The LongPen produces a unique signature each time because it copies the movement of the author in real time. It has several other potential applications. It could increase credit card security and allow people to sign contracts from another province. The video exchange between signer and receiver can be recorded on DVD for proof when legal documents are used．

“It's really fun, ” said an owner of a bookstore, who was present in one of the test runs. “Obviously you can't shake hands with the author, but there are chances for a connection that you don't get from a regular book signing.”

The response to the invention hasn't been all favorable. Atwood has received criticism from authors who think she's trying to end book tours. But she said, “It will be possible to go to places that you never got sent to before because the publishers couldn't afford it.”

【1】Why did Atwood decide to invent the LongPen?

A．To set up her own company.

B．To win herself greater popularity.

C．To write her books in a new way.

D．To make book signings less tiring.

【2】What do we know about the invention of the LongPen?

A．It has been completed but not put into use.

B．Some versions failed before its test run.

C．The basement caught fire by accident.

D．The designers were well-prepared for the difficulty.

【3】How could the LongPen be used in the future?

A．To draft legal documents.

B．To keep a record of the author's ideas.

C．To improve credit card security.

D．To allow author and fan to exchange videos.

【4】What could be inferred from Paragraphs 5 and 6?

A．Atwood doesn't mean to end book tours.

B．Critics think the LongPen is of little use.

C．Bookstore owners don't support the LongPen.

D．Publishers dislike the LongPen for high cost.

30、I loved my first-grade teacher, Mrs. Gross. She had such a sweet smile and was ________ to us. I wasn’t sure what her ________ was at that time but she already looked very grandmotherly. Unlike some other teachers, she never ________ her students. To me, it felt like having a second ________ as my teacher. I always remember the time I spent in her classroom the most fondly.

One such ________ is still with me to today. We were doing subtraction (减法) math problems when Mrs. Gross walked through the classroom ________ our work.

David Whyte wrote, “People are ________, and one good word is bread for a thousand.” I think the good words Mrs. Gross gave me helped me to ________ my own good words with others. I think the ________ she showed me helped me to give my love to others.

In this life we can ________ much more than we realize. Every kind word, every loving act, every helping hand is a ________ in the eyes of someone in need. So, fill your days with good words and make your life a gift of love.
