52、organic farming is better for the environmentBorganic food is healthier than nonorganic foodCthe author believes organic food is more nutritiousDparents often complain about the high prices of organic food答案：A推理判断题。根据第二段第二句中的“Organic farms do not use agricultural chemicals”可以推断，有机耕作相对来说更环保。68What do

56、oor countries fight hunger and poverty. A new study says investments in subSaharan Africa increased by more than twenty percent between 2001 and 2008. However, the study also found that just a few countries were responsible for most of that growth. Nigeria was responsible for onethird of it. Ghana,
57、Tanzania, Sudan and Uganda also increased their spending, but 13 countries reduced their investments.Nienke Beintema from the Washingtonbased International Food Policy Research Institute led the study. She says new technologies are needed to deal with some of the causes of hunger. She said, “Changes
58、 in food price, growing population, water shortage and climate change create the demand for better technologies or different technologies to address these issues.” She says some countries, including Nigeria, have enhanced their investments after spending far too little in the past.Nigeria now has th
59、e largest agricultural research system south of the Sahara. That is one measure of progress. But Nienke Beintema says a better measure is that a country spends more than one percent of its agricultural money on research. And in 2008, she says, Nigeria was not doing that. Botswana, Burundi, Kenya, Ma
60、uritania and Mauritius were spending more than one percent. So were Namibia, South Africa and Uganda.Ms Bientema examined levels of financing and employment at 370 research centers in 32 countries. She believes most countries depend too heavily on international donations to help pay for research. Ma
61、ny donations are shortterm, she says, and the research often ends when the money has been spent.Ms Bientema says countries must improve their higher education systems to turn out more qualified researchers. But the study has found that new researchers are not being hired in some countries because of
62、 budget (预算) problems. At the same time, many older researchers are nearing retirement age.文章大意：非洲很多国家在农业研究方面的投资还很少。71What is the main idea of this passage?APoor African countries are looking for donations.BMany African countries are suffering from hunger and poverty.CMany African countries are not
63、investing enough in agricultural research.DPoor African countries have no way to fight against hunger and poverty.答案：C主旨大意题。通读全文，可知文章虽然讲到了非洲一些国家增加了在农业研究方面的投资，但侧重点还是讲投资太少，故选C。72We can infer Nienke Beintema hopes that _.Ano international donations will be provided for African countriesBmore money will
64、 be spent in developing new technologies in AfricaCsome African countries will reduce investments in agricultural researchDresearchers will spend more time in finding the causes of hunger in Africa答案：B推理判断题。根据Nienke Beintema在第二段所说的“Changes in food price, growing population, water shortage and climat
65、e change create the demand for better technologies or different technologies to address these issues.”可推断她希望增加研发新技术的投资。73What does the underlined word “enhanced” in Paragraph 2 mean?AChanged. BIncreased.CChecked. DRemoved.答案：B词义猜测题。根据画线词后面“after spending far too little in the past”可知Nigeria以前在农业研究方面
66、的投资很少，根据第一段的“Nigeria was responsible for onethird of it.”可知这个国家现在在这方面的投资很多，故可知Nigeria“增加”了在这方面的投资。74Which of the following countries might NOT spend enough money on agricultural research in 2008?ABotswana. BBurundi.CUganda. DNigeria.答案：D细节理解题。根据第三段的“But Nienke Beintema says a better measure is that
67、a country spends more than one percent of its agricultural money on research. And in 2008，she says，Nigeria was not doing that.”可知应选D。75According to the last paragraph, why arent new researchers hired?ABecause they are not qualified.BBecause they are too old to be hired.CBecause the budget for resear
68、chers is limited.DBecause there are already enough researchers.答案：C细节理解题。根据末段的“But the study has found that new researchers are not being hired in some countries because of budget problems.”可知是因为预算太少才没聘这些新的研究人员。第四部分：书面表达(满分35分)请根据以要点提示，以“Save our limited farmland”为题，用英语写一篇海报，呼吁人们保护有限的耕地资源。1我国人口不断增长，
69、而耕地面积却在日益减少，目前耕地面积只占全国土地总面积的12%左右；2建工厂、修公路和铁路以及建设房屋等占用了大量耕地；3呼吁大家节约用地，充分利用土地，努力保护现有的耕地资源。注意：1.词数100左右；2可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。_参考范文：Save our limited farmlandIts a wellknown fact that the population of our country is growing while the farmland is being lost day by day.According to the latest statistics, the
70、farmland only makes up about 12% of the total land in our country. Worse still, building factories, roads, railways and houses takes up a lot of land, especially farmland.We hope all of us can realise the dangerous situation we are facing at the present and do what we can to save and protect our farmland. Once our farmland is gone, it will be impossible to get it back.
