24、od production in developing nations and saved millions of people from starvation, died on Saturday September 12, 2009 at his home in Dallas.“He has helped provide bread for a hungry world,” the Nobel committee said in honor of him. “Dr Borlaug has introduced a dynamic factor(动态因素)into our assessment
25、 of the future of food and its potential.”Dr Borlaug was hardly known in the country of his birth, the USA. But in India, Mexico, Russia and other nations with hunger and famine(饥荒), he was known as one of the great Americans of modem times. Edwin Price, director of the Norman Borlaug Institute for
26、International Agriculture at Texas A&M University, once accompanied Dr Borlaug to Russia, where he visited a wheat research institute south of Moscow. “When Norman came in,” Price said, “the scientists at the institute all cried.”From the 1970s until his death, he increasingly took the politically i
27、ncorrect view that environmentalists were bothering world food production by attacking the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides (农药).Dr Borlaugs career included his ability of science to increase food production at a high rate and the nightmare(噩梦)of an exploding population beyond its ability
28、to feed itself His work took him from the Iowa farm where he grew up to the primitively planted wheat fields of Mexico in the 1940s, the rice fields of Asia in the 1960s and 1970s to the plains of Africa in the 1980s.In his lecture accepting the Nobel Prize, he said an enough supply of food is “the

32、o was the first Asian host invited by Winfrey.Chen took Winfrey and her US audience on a tour through her office, studio and dressing room as well as offering a special guided tour around Beijings famous Houhai area and the capitals popular 798 art district. Winfrey was surprised about Chens most me
33、morable interviews including HIV victims and lesbian couples.“Chinese people have a wide understanding about Western countries, but it is not the other way around, which causes misunderstanding,” Chen says. “I have interviewed more than 3000 guests who come from various classes and working backgroun
34、ds. They tell their stories and my audience shows great respect.”Known as “Chinas Oprah”, the 39-year-old TV personality decided to model her show, A Date With Luyu, on the Winfreys popular show after visiting the US more than a decade ago. “It is flattering to be called Chinas Oprah, which means pe
35、ople say you are really good,” she says, “I am curious and ask some tough questions. But I tend to be protective of my guests. If they dont want to answer those questions, thats fine.” Over the past 10 years of being a public face in a rapidly changing China, she has gone from interviewing celebriti
36、es(名流) to talking with people from all walks of life.Her guests share their story with a live audience of 300 and a viewing audience of more than 60 million every day. “It has become more than a show,” Chen says, “Chinese audience tend to be shy. I cannot expect my viewers to act like those on Oprah
37、s show, who would shout and scream,” she says, “but Chinese audience can respond to the interviewees stories and show me their smiles and tears.”Chens daily chat show is on Phoenix satellite television station, the first foreign-funded station to be beamed into the mainland. Winfrey was surprised by
38、 Chen5s high ratings and expressed a desire to visit China and be a guest on Chens talk show. “The cooperation enables Western audiences to know more about China.

41、he difference between Chinese and American talk show.C.the two talk show queens co-host talk show for the first time.D. how westerners like A Date With Luyu.CIn Europe, small cars have always been more popular than large cars. In the United States, large cars and midsize cars are more popular than s
42、mall cars. As a result, European automakers used to make a wider variety of compact(小型的)cars while American automakers used to build bigger, heavier cars. However, these days, automakers in both America and Europe produce cars of different sizes. This is because most automakers export their cars all
43、 over the world.The price of gasoline (汽油)is one reason for differences in automobile preferences. Since gasoline is more expensive in Europe, many Europeans want smaller, lighter cars that will travel a long way on a gallon of gas. This increased gas mileage makes the cars more economical to run.Ot
44、her reasons also enter into the big or little car decision. Many old cities have narrow, winding streets. In these cities a small car is easier to drive than a large one.For a long time, few Americans bought small cars. Instead, they chose large cars, because these roomy cars were more comfortable f
45、or large families and long trips. Some people also liked the powerful engines that large cars had. Since gasoline was cheap, drivers did not mind that the large cars used a lot of gas.But in the 1970s, there were gas shortages in the United States. The price of gas went up. Though large cars were st
46、ill more popular than small cars, sales of small cars that used less gas increased. Some people also bought small cars because these cars caused less air pollution than large cars.Today, Americans car preferences are still changing. Though Americans are still buying many small cars, the fastest grow
47、ing sales are for certain kinds of large cars. These types of cars are called minivans (微型客货车)and sport utility (多用途的)vehicles. They are very popular today. But of course, that could change tomorrow.59. From this passage we know that cities in Europe often have _.A. Heavier cars B. Less gasoline C.

Because their powerful engines caused less air pollution.B.Because they had enough space for large families.C.Because it was necessary for a long trip.D. Because they used a lot of gas.61.

50、tatements is true?A. No large cars are sold in Europe.B.Small cars are not expensive to run.C.Most American buy European cars.D.

51、ws the first man a picture for five seconds and then hides it. “This is your suspect. How would you recognize him?”The man answers, “Thats easy, well catch him fast because he has only one eye!”The policeman says, “Sir!

52、s the picture for five seconds at the second man and asks him, “This is your suspect. How would you recognize him?”The second man smiles and says, “Ha! Hed be too easy to catch because he has only one ear!”The policeman angrily responds, “Whats the matter with you two? Of course only one eye and one
53、 ear are showing, because its a picture of his profile! Is that the best answer you can come up with?”Extremely disappointed at this point, he shows the picture to the third man and in a very testy voice asks, “This is your suspect. How would you recognize him?”The man looks at the picture carefully
54、 for a moment and says, “The suspect wears contact lenses (隐形眼镜).” The policeman is quite surprised because he really doesnt know whether the suspect wears contact lenses. “Well, thats an interesting answer,” he says. “Wait here for a few minutes while I check his information and Ill get back to you
55、 on that.”He leaves the room, goes to his office, checks the suspects information in his computer, and comes back smiling. “Wow! I cant believe it. Its true!

Therefore, healthy eating is of great significance in our successful life. It was not until I witnessed my classmate Wanghui that I realized how important it is to
75、 keep a healthy diet. Wanghui is a distinguished student in my class and always highly spoken of by our teachers. However, faced with the pressure of the national college entrance examination, she had been working hard. Sometimes, she even went to school without breakfast or lunch. Day by day, she g
76、ot weaker and weaker, resulting in her feeling sleepy in class. Yesterday, its a pity that she should fail in the English exam. To make matters worse, she was diagnosed with a terrible disease and had to stay in hospital for treatment.From the above example concerning with Wanghui, we may safely draw a conclusion that only if we keep a balanced diet will we have a healthy body to achieve our goals.
