16、out the effect it will have among the world“s poor. 2 Increasingly, experts are looking to the potato as a possible low-cost solution to feeding the hungry. To emphasize the issue, the United Nations has called the potato “a hidden treasure“, and named 2008 the International Year of the Potato. Here

17、s how potatoes could end the food crisis. 3 The potato matures more quickly, on less land and in harsher climates than most other major crops. Up to 85 percent of the plant is eatable, compared with around 50 percent of cereals. Its broad adaptability to a wide variety of farming systems is also no

18、teworthy. 4 Potatoes are an excellent source of complex carbohydrates ( 碳水化合物), which release their energy slowly, and have only 5 percent of wheat“s fat content. They contain only a quarter of the calories of bread and, according to the Potato Center, when boiled, potatoes have more protein and nea

Additionally, they are good sources of vitamin C, iron, potassium (钾) and zinc (锌). 5 The Food and Agricultural Organization recently surveyed food price inflation in over 70 of the poor countries. Cereal price inflation was much higher and far more widespread than

20、 for potatoes. A significant factor behind the potato“s affordability is the fact that unlike other agricultural products, the potato is not yet a global commodity, and has therefore not attracted speculative investors. Raw potatoes are heavy and can rot during transit, so global trade has been slow

21、 to take off. Also, potatoes are susceptible (易受影响的) to infection with disease, hindering (阻碍) export.

25、omantic guy: no sweet words or roses. Smart as he is, he is a little bit shy expressing his love. In contrast, I am an outspoken (直言不讳) girl who likes to show her feelings directly.

26、n this sullen mood until I heard a beautiful sentence one day: “If one does not love you in the way you like, it does not mean that he does not love you.“ This simple but sensible sentence made me think about our happy days and recall his deep concern for me. One cold winter night, I got a high feve

He explained that if he had stopped talking I would have woken up. At that moment, I found love in his eyes. Another ti

29、me, I had a bad quarrel with my best friend. Although I knew it was my fault, I refused to admit it. I was angry when he insisted I apologize to her.

33、题数：1，分数：15.00)Preserving Nature for FutureDemands for stronger protection for wildlife in Britain sometimes hide the fact that similar needs are felt in the rest of Europe. Studies by the Council of Europe, of which 21 countries are members, have shown that 45 per cent of reptile species and 24 per

34、cent of butterflies are in danger of dying out. European concern for wildlife was outlined by Dr. Peter Baum, an expert in the environment and natural resources division of the council, when he spoke at a conference arranged by the administrators of a British national park. The park is one of the fe

35、w areas in Europe to hold the council“s diploma for nature reserves of the highest quality, and Dr. Peter Baum had come to present it to the park once again. He was afraid that public opinion was turning against national parks, and that those set up in the 1960s and 1970s could not be set up today.

36、But Dr. Baum clearly remained a strong supporter of the view that natural environments needed to be allowed to survive in peace in their own right. “No area could be expected to survive both as a true nature reserve and as a tourist attraction,“ he went on. “The short-sighted view that reserves had

37、to serve immediate human demands for outdoor recreation should be replaced by full acceptance of their importance as places to preserve nature for the future.“ “We forget that they are the guarantee of life systems, on which any built-up area ultimately depends,“ Dr. Baum went on. “We could manage w

38、ithout most industrial products, but we could not manage without nature. However, our natural environment areas, which are the original parts of our countryside, have shrunk to become mere islands in a spoiled and highly polluted land mass. “（分数：15.00）(1).Recent studies by the Council of Europe have

39、 indicated that _.（分数：3.00）A.wildlife needs more protection only in BritainB.all species of wildlife in Europe are in danger of dying outC.there are fewer species of reptiles and butterflies in Europe than else whereD.many species of reptiles and butterflies in Europe need protecting(2).Why did Dr.

40、Baum come to a British national park?（分数：3.00）A.Because he needed to present it with a council“s diploma.B.Because he was concerned about its management.C.Because it was the only national park of its kind in Europe.D.Because it was the only park which had ever received a diploma from the Council.(3)

41、The last sentence in the second paragraph implies that _.（分数：3.00）A.people should make every effort to create mere environment areasB.people would go on protecting national parksC.certain areas of countryside should be left intactD.people would defend the right to develop the areas around national

42、parks(4).In Dr. Baum“s opinion, the view that a nature reserve should serve as a tourist attraction is _.（分数：3.00）A.idealisticB.revolutionaryC.short-sightedD.traditional(5).Which of the following can be inferred from the last paragraph?（分数：3.00）A.We have developed industry at the expense of countrys

43、ide.B.We have forgotten what our original countryside looked like.C.People living on islands should protect natural resources for their survival.D.We should destroy all the built-up areas.七、第三篇(总题数：1，分数：15.00)Generation GapA few years ago, it was fashionable to speak of a generation gap, a division

44、between young people and their elders. Parents complained that children did not show them proper respect and obedience, while children complained that their parents did not understand them at all. What had gone wrong? Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared? Actually, the generation gap has bee

45、n around for a long time. Many critics argue that it is built into the fabric of our society. One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own life styles. In more traditional societies, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the sa

46、me area as their parents, to marry people that their parents know and approve of, and often to continue the family occupation. In our society, young people often travel great distances for their education, most out of the family home at an early age, marry or live or choose occupations different fro

47、m those of their parents. In our upwardly mobile society, parents often expect their children to do better than they did: to find better jobs, to make more money, and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often, however, the ambitions that parents have for their children are another caus

48、e of the division between them. Often they discover that they have very little in common with each other. Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society is another cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditional culture, elderly people are valued for their wisdom, but in ou

49、r society the knowledge of a lifetime may become obsolete overnight. The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separated by different skills and abilities. No doubt, the generation gap will continue to be a feature of American life for some time to come. Its causes are rooted in the freedoms and opportunities of our society, and in the rapid pace at which society changes.（分数：15.00）(1).The main idea of the first paragraph is that _.（分数：3.00）A.the generation gap suddenly appearedB.the generation gap is a feature of American lif
