Many innovations that were once heavily supported and publicized. Such as fish-protein concentrates, have since fallen by the wayside. The proposals themselves were technically feasible, but they proved to be economically unviable and to yield food products culturally unacceptable to their consumers. ‎ ‎ One characteristic common to unsuccessful food innovations has been that, even with extensive government support, they often have not been technologically adapted or culturally acceptable to the people for whom they had been developed. A successful few technology, therefore, must fit the entire sociocultural system in which it is to find a place. Security of crop yield, practicality of storage, and costs are much more significant than had previously been realized by the advocates of new technologies.‎ ‎ The adoption of new food technologies depends on more than these technical and cultural considerations; economic factors and governmental policies also strongly influence the ultimate success of any innovation. Economists in the anglo-American tradition have taken the lead in investigating the economics of technological innovation. Although they exaggerate in claiming that profitability is the key factor guiding technical change---they completely disregard the substantial effects of culture--- they are correct in stressing the importance of profits. Most technological innovations in agriculture can be fully used only by large landowners and are only adopted if these profit-oriented business people believe that the innovation will increase their even if they harm segments of the population and reduce the availability of food in a country. Further, should a new technology promise to alter substantially the profits and losses associated with any ‎ production system, those with economic power will strive to maintain and improve their own positions. Therefore, although technical advances in food production and processing will perhaps be needed to ensure food availability, meeting food needs will depend much more on equalizing economic power among the various segments of the populations within the developing countries themselves.‎ ‎72.the passage mentions all of the following as factors important to the success of a new food crop except the ______.‎ ‎ A. practicality of storage of the crop B. security of the crop yield ‎ C. quality of the crop’s protein D. cultural acceptability of the crop ‎73.The author suggests that, in most developing countries, extensive government intervention accompanying the introduction of a food innovation will ____.‎ A. usually be sufficient to guarantee the financial success of the innovation ‎ ‎ B. be necessary to ensure that the benefits of the innovation will be spread throughout the society.‎ ‎ C. normally occur only when the innovation favors large landowners ‎ D. generally cost the country more than will be earned by the innovation ‎74.The author provides a sustained argument to support which of the following assertions.‎ ‎ A. Profitability is neither necessary nor sufficient for a new technology to be adopted’‎ ‎ B. Profitability is the key factor guiding technological change ‎ C. Economic factors and governmental policies strongly influence the ultimate success of any innovation .‎ ‎ D. Innovations carrying high rewards for big agribusiness groups harm the poor.‎ ‎75. The primary purpose of the passage is to discuss the _____.‎ ‎ A. means of assessing the extent of the world food shortage ‎ B. difficulties of applying technological solutions to the problem of food shortages ‎ C. costs of introducing a new food technology into a developing country.‎ ‎ D. nature of the new technological innovations in the area of food production.‎ Section C:‎ A. Evidences of Global Warming B. Effects of Global Warming on Food Production C. Influence of Global Warning on Inhabitable Areas D. Ways of Reducing Greenhouse Effects E. Difficulties in Determining the Extent of Greenhouse Effect F. Carbon Dioxide Functions ‎ ‎ 76. ‎______‎ ‎ Any climatic change will affect agricultural production. Some of the world’s major food production areas could become considerably drier as a result of global warming. Other areas that are currently too dry to support agriculture may experience increased rainfall and become suitable for food production. Flood plains and river delta regions that currently grow a significant proportion of the world’s food would be permanently under water.‎ 77. ‎______‎ ‎ There is much public discussion in a number of countries about ways of slowing the increase in the amount of greenhouse gases being released into the atmosphere. These include: ◎Reducing the consumption of fossil fuels. Energy conservation measures can be adopted and renewable energy sources such as solar power, can be developed. ◎Slowing the rate at which forests are being cleared, and introducing more reforestation programs, which would also slow the increase in carbon dioxide levels.‎ 76. ‎______‎ ‎ If global warming cannot be prevented, many countries will need to examine issues such as the planning and design of housing, particularly in low-lying areas subject to increased flooding and erosion.‎ 77. ‎______‎ ‎ Atmospheric scientists rely on satellites to collect much of their data. They have recently discovered that many of these satellites have been slipping from their orbits and so, in interpreting the measurements, scientists have assumed temperatures at a particular altitude to be lower than is actually the case. Readings have therefore been adjusted upwards. Such difficulties are just one example of the challenges facing scientists in determining the extent of global warming. There is a continuing need to research the consequences of an increased greenhouse effect.‎ 78. ‎______‎ In examining this issue you can see that carbon dioxide, while essential for the maintenance of life on the earth, can be regarded as a pollutant in the atmosphere if its concentration becomes too high.‎ Section D :‎ ‎ Parents who would like to buy toy computers and other electronic games marketed as improving learning for children could save their money and help their children to learn themselves, according to new research. A study examining the role of technology in the lives of three- and four-year-old children and their families found that the hi-tech toys are no more useful than traditional ways of introducing basic literacy (识字) and number skills. Toy laptops and mobile phones were of greater value to young children as an aid to imaginative play such as pretending to make phone calls than in teaching specific skills, researchers at the University of Stirling concluded after tracking families for 15 months. Youngsters also gained an understanding of the social role of technology simply by watching their parents use computers, digital cameras and mobile phones in daily life. The study, which examined 24 families of varying social backgrounds in detail and analyzed written responses from 346 families in total, found parents were almost all interested in preparing their children not only for school but also for the world of work, but they felt unsure whether to buy them electronic toys. Lydia Plowman, professor of education at Stirling University, said parents interviewed experienced “a lot of worries” about the role of new technology, and felt under pressure from producers to buy education electric toys. Professor Plowman, announcing her research at a conference, said such toys were neither harmful nor “particularly useful”. She said: “I don’t think there is any problem about children having these toys at home, but in ‎ terms of basic literacy and number skills I don’t think they are more useful than the more traditional methods.” Parents who bought such toys often failed to replace the battery when it ran out after children lost interest, she added. Almost all the families reported that their children listed going to the park as a favourite activity, while some did not list technology as a favourite at all. (Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN FIFTEEN WORDS)‎ ‎81. Parents bought toy computers and other electronic games so as to ______.‎ ‎82 What’s the benefit of the youngsters’ watching their parents use electric appliance?‎ ‎83. Why did parents feel under pressure from producers to buy education electric toys?‎ ‎84.

Many innovations that were once heavily supported and publicized. Such as fish-protein concentrates, have since fallen by the wayside(已无人问津了). The proposals themselves were technically feasible, but they proved to be economically unviable and to yield food products culturally unacceptable to their consumers. ‎ ‎ (73.A)One characteristic common to unsuccessful food innovations has been that, even with extensive government support, they often have not been technologically adapted or culturally acceptable to the people for whom they had been developed. A successful few technology, therefore, must fit the entire sociocultural system in which it is to find a place. (72)Security of crop yield, practicality of storage, and costs are much more significant than had previously been realized by the advocates of new technologies.‎ ‎ The adoption of new food technologies depends on more than(74) these technical and cultural considerations; economic factors and governmental policies also strongly influence the ultimate success of any innovation. Economists in the anglo-American tradition have taken the lead in investigating the economics of technological innovation. Although they exaggerate in claiming that profitability is the key factor guiding technical change---they completely disregard the substantial effects of culture--- they are correct in stressing the importance of profits. Most technological innovations in agriculture can be fully used only by large landowners and are only adopted if these profit-oriented business people believe that the innovation will increase their even if they harm segments of the population and reduce the availability of food in a country. Further, should a new technology promise to alter substantially the profits and losses associated with any production system, those with economic power will strive to maintain and improve their own positions. Therefore, although technical advances in food production and processing will perhaps be needed to ensure food availability, meeting food needs will depend much more on equalizing economic power among the various segments of the populations within the developing countries themselves.‎ ‎72.The passage mentions all of the following as factors important to the success of a new food crop except the ______.‎ ‎ A. practicality of storage of the crop B. security of the crop yield ‎ C. quality of the crop’s protein D. cultural acceptability of the crop ‎73.The author suggests that, in most developing countries, extensive government intervention accompanying the introduction of a food innovation will ____.‎ A. usually be sufficient to guarantee the financial success of the innovation ‎ ‎ B. be necessary to ensure that the benefits of the innovation will be spread throughout the society.‎ ‎ C. normally occur only when the innovation favors large landowners→economic factors ‎ D. generally cost the country more than will be earned by the innovation ‎74.The author provides a sustained argument (持续的争论)to support which of the following assertions.‎ ‎ A. Profitability is neither necessary nor sufficient for a new technology to be adopted’‎ ‎ B. Profitability is the key factor guiding technological change ‎ C. Economic factors and governmental policies strongly influence the ultimate success of ‎ any innovation .‎ ‎ D. Innovations carrying high rewards for big agribusiness groups harm the poor.‎ ‎75. The primary purpose of the passage is to discuss the _____.‎ ‎ A. means of assessing the extent of the world food shortage ‎ B. difficulties of applying technological solutions to the problem of food shortages ‎ C. costs of introducing a new food technology into a developing country.‎ ‎ D. nature of the new technological innovations in the area of food production.‎ Section C:‎ A.

Some of the world’s major food production areas could become considerably drier as a result of global warming. Other areas that are currently too dry to support agriculture may experience increased rainfall and become suitable for food production. Flood plains and river delta regions that currently grow a significant proportion of the world’s food would be permanently under water.‎ 77. ‎__D____‎ ‎ There is much public discussion in a number of countries about ways of slowing the increase in the amount of greenhouse gases being released into the atmosphere. These include: ◎Reducing the consumption of fossil fuels. Energy conservation measures can be adopted and renewable energy sources such as solar power, can be developed. ◎Slowing the rate at which forests are being cleared, and introducing more reforestation programs, which would also slow the increase in carbon dioxide levels.‎ 78. ‎__C____‎ ‎ If global warming cannot be prevented, many countries will need to examine issues such as the planning and design of housing, particularly in low-lying areas subject to increased flooding and erosion.‎ 79. ‎__E____‎ ‎ Atmospheric scientists rely on satellites (卫星)to collect much of their data. They have recently discovered that many of these satellites have been slipping from their orbits(轨道) and so, in interpreting the measurements, scientists have assumed temperatures at a particular altitude to be lower than is actually the case. Readings have therefore been adjusted upwards. Such difficulties are just one example of the challenges facing scientists in determining the extent of global warming. There is a continuing need to research the consequences of an increased greenhouse effect.‎ 80. ‎___F___‎ In examining this issue you can see that carbon dioxide, while essential for the maintenance ‎ of life on the earth, can be regarded as a pollutant in the atmosphere if its concentration becomes too high.‎ Section D :‎ ‎ 81Parents who would like to buy toy computers and other electronic games marketed as improving learning for children could save their money and help their children to learn themselves, according to new research. A study examining the role of technology in the lives of three- and four-year-old children and their families found that the hi-tech (高科技)toys are no more useful than traditional ways of introducing basic literacy (识字) and number skills. Toy laptops and mobile phones were of greater value to young children as an aid to imaginative play such as pretending to make phone calls than in teaching specific skills, researchers at the University of Stirling concluded after tracking families for 15 months. 82.Youngsters also gained an understanding of the social role of technology simply by watching their parents use computers, digital cameras and mobile phones in daily life. The study, which examined 24 families of varying social backgrounds in detail and analyzed written responses from 346 families in total, found parents were almost all interested in preparing their children not only for school but also for the world of work, but they felt unsure whether to buy them electronic toys. 83.Lydia Plowman, professor of education at Stirling University, said parents interviewed experienced “a lot of worries” about the role of new technology, and felt under pressure from producers to buy education electric toys. Professor Plowman, announcing her research at a conference, said such toys were neither harmful nor “particularly useful”. She said: “I don’t think there is any problem about children having these toys at home, but in terms of basic literacy and number skills I don’t think they are more useful than the more traditional methods.” Parents who bought such toys often failed to replace the battery (电池)when it ran out after children lost interest, she added. 84.Almost all the families reported that their children listed going to the park as a favourite activity, while some did not list technology as a favourite at all. (Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN FIFTEEN WORDS) 81.

Among them, postgraduates are a fast-growing force that can’t be ignored. The craze for being a civil servant is not limited to liberal arts majors, as it’s also gaining popularity among science and engineering students.   In the final analysis, this growing trend among the youngsters is mainly attributable to two factors – ambitions and comforts. On one hand, many ambitious college graduates view these exams as a springboard to a higher social status, greater power and prestige, on which many of their other wishes rest. On the other, as being a civil servant generally means as well stable income, enviable healthcare and pension, as other comforts of life, it’s quite an appealing career option to many people, especially in this age of sluggish world economy.   Personally, the desire to be a government official is beyond reproach, as the nation and the people do need an injection of new blood into the civil service sectors. The fresh-faced college graduates , armed with lofty ideals , new vision , and strong drive , are undoubtedl among the best candidates. ‎
