The crops we produce in the UK and around the world could change with climate.The weather is an important part in farming and changes in temperature will strongly affect crop growth.
For the UK，temperature rises are likely to mean the crops normally growing in the south of the country will be able to be grown further north.The UN believes there will be a shift northwards of between 200 and 300 kilometers for every degree of warming.This would be similar to the south of England in 2060，having the kind of weather the Loire Valley，in France，experiences now.
Due to an increase in drought and heat waves，the types of crops grown in the UK will have to change，which doesn’t have to be a bad thing for us.Products which haven’t been farmed over here before，such as sweet corn，sunflowers，and maize for cereals，could all provide new business for farmers—certainly in the south east.
However，if farming practices do change in this country，procedures will have to be put in place beforehand as introducing something new of farmland involves a lot of preparation.Also，irrigation systems may need to be improved so rain from winter can be stored for the summer as it is hotter.
Researchers are finding that pests，such as aphids，are starting to hatch(孵化) earlier in the year.In the last 10－15 years they’ve been arriving in springtime and the population of aphids appears to be growing too.
Aphids are a real problem as they can cause so much damage to crops and if they’re arriving earlier in the year they can get the produce when it’s very fragile—causing more damage than they used to.
1．It is quite possible that the author comes from ________.
A．the UK B．the UN
C．France D．Scotland
2．The underlined word “This” in Paragraph 2 refers to ________.
A．the kind of weather the Loire Valley，in France experiences now
B．the kind of weather the south of England in 2060 will have
C．the UN’s belief that there will be a shift northwards of between 200 and 300 kilometers for every degree of warming
D．the UK’s temperature rises mean the crops growing in the south will be able to be grown further north
3．The main idea of this passage is that ________.
A．the crops raised in the south will be transplanted to the north in 2060
B．the temperature rises will bring about either good or bad effects
C．the climate has a strong influence on crops
D．the global warmth causes more positive effects than negative
4．Which is the correct order of the following things according to the article?
a．The temperature goes up.
b．The aphid hatches earlier.
c．The aphid population increases.
d．The fragile crops are eaten up.
A．a，b，c，d B．b，c，a，d
C．a，c，d，b D．a，b，d，c

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
Two billion children in the developing world can’t receive good education—the key to human development.However，technology offers an answer which allows the poor in developing countries to learn.It is a tool which holds the ability to change the lives of the poor，as it provides a means of learning and communicating.
Educational programs must break away from old systems.New companies such as One Laptop(笔记本电脑) Per Child (OLPC)，an organization founded by MIT Professor Nicholas Negroponte have been active in solving the world’s education problem.
The Internet has changed the world，allowing educational services to help with the global fight against poverty.Khan Academy is one such service.Like OLPC，it is an organization founded by Harvard Business School graduate Salman Khan with the task of “providing a world-class education to anyone，anywhere.”The education offered includes a large number of math-related topics.
The GMAT Pill Review is another company that trains MBA candidates(应考人) worldwide to prepare for the GMAT exam on both the Quant and Verbal section.Founded by Stanford graduate Zeke Lee，the company offers services which are priced at about 75% less than other similar programs.It allows students from developing countries who might not be able to afford similar courses to have access to these services.
Whether paid or free these services provide educational opportunities to those who would never have had the chance in the past.As a result of the technology revolution(革新)，business schools may see more students from different corners of the world.Because of the Internet，people in developing nations have access to better and more affordable educational opportunities.More and more people will try to improve their lives through educational opportunities outside of their homeland—an idea usually uncommon in developing countries.
56．According to the text，technology can ________.
A．improve people’s reading ability
B．solve the problems facing the whole world
C．help the poor to reduce poverty
D．cause poverty in developing countries
57．We can learn from the text that Khan Academy aims to ________.
A．help the poor pay for good courses
B．provide every child with a computer
C．help train MBA candidates
D．make everyone receive good education
58．Which of the following about GMAT Pill Review is TRUE?
A．It only accepts students from developing countries.
B．It was started by Professor Nicholas Negroponte.
C．It charges students about 25 percent of other similar programs.
D．The education it offers includes a lot of math-related topics.
59．In the past，people in developing countries ________.
A．had no educational opportunities in their homeland
B．seldom thought of receiving foreign education to change themselves
C．always believed education was of great importance
D．wouldn’t leave their homeland to reduce poverty
B
Mark Twain was a great writer.He was born in 1835 in the USA.He was also a famous speaker.He was famous for his sense of humour.Many people liked to listen to his talk because he liked to tell some interesting stories to make people laugh all the time.
One day，Mark Twain was going to a small town because of his writing.Before he was going to leave，one of his friends said to him that there were always a lot of mosquitoes(蚊子) in the town and told him that he’d better not go there.Mark Twain waved his hands and said，“It doesn’t matter.The mosquitoes are no relatives of mine.I don’t think they will come to visit me.”
After he arrived at the town，Mark Twain stayed in a small hotel near the station.He went into his room，but when he was just about to have a rest，quite a few mosquitoes flew around him.The waiters felt very sorry about that.“I’m very sorry，Mr.Mark Twain.There are too many mosquitoes in our town，” one of them said to him.
Mark Twain，however，made a joke，saying to the waiter，“The mosquitoes are very clever.They know my room number.They didn’t come into the wrong room.” What he said made all the people present laugh heartily.
But that night Mark Twain slept well.Do you know why？That was because all the waiters in the hotel were driving the mosquitoes away for him during the whole night.
60．That day Mark Twain went to the town________.
A．to see one of his friends
B．because he wanted to do something there for his writing
C．because he was told there were a lot of mosquitoes there
D．to see one of his relatives
61．The waiters felt sorry because________.
A．they did something wrong to Mark Twain
B．their hotel was too small
C．the room was not very clean
D．there were quite a few mosquitoes in Mark Twain’s room
62．All the people present laughed heartily because________.
A．the mosquitoes were very clever and they didn’t come into the wrong room
B．the mosquitoes knew Mark Twain’s room number
C．Mark Twain gave the waiters some nice presents
D．Mark Twain made a joke
63．From the story we know________.

C．Mark Twain didn’t have a good rest that night

C
Up to now，some scientists have suggested that cloning existing people might be ethically acceptable in some cases.One possibility is generating replacement for a dying relative.All such possibilities，however，raise the concern that the clone would be treated as less than a complete individual，because he or she would likely suffer from limitations and expectations based on the family’s knowledge of the genetic “twin”．Those expectations might be false，because human personality is only partly determined by genes.The clone of an extrovert(性格外向的人)could have a quite different way of behavior.Clones of athletes，movie stars，or scientists might well choose different careers because of chance events in early life.
Some people have also pointed out that couples in which one member is infertile(不生育)might choose to make a copy of one or the other partner.But society ought to be concerned that a couple might not treat naturally a child who is a copy of just one of them.Because other methods are available for the treatment of all known types of infertility，and the traditional choice seems more appropriate.None of the suggested uses of cloning for making copies of existing people is ethically acceptable to my way of thinking，because they are not in the interests of the resulting child.It should go without saying that I am strongly opposed to allowing cloned human embryos to develop so that they can be tissue donors.
In spite of this，it seems clear that cloning from cultured(人工培育的) cells will offer important medical opportunities.Predictions about new technologies are often wrong；societal attitudes change；unexpected developments occur.Time will tell.But biomedical researchers looking into the potential of cloning now have plenty to do.
64．Towards cloning an existing person，what concern does the author show?
A．The clone created is unlikely to fulfill your expectations.
B．The clone created is ethically unacceptable.
C．The clone created will be mistreated.
D．The clone created will have one defect or another.
65．From the text we know that a clone will ________.
A．be partly similar in personality to the person it is created from
B．share the same characteristics with the person it is created from
C．choose the same career as the person it is created from
D．behave in the same way as the person it is created from
66．According to the passage，which of the following is TRUE?
A．One’s personality is determined by neither their genes nor the environment they live in.
B．One’s personality is determined by both their genes and the environment they live in.
C．One’s personality is determined by their genes.
D．One’s personality is determined by the environment they live in.
67．In the author’s view，which of the following uses of cloning is reasonable?
A．To help childless couples to have a baby.
B．To culture cells for medical purpose.
C．To develop tissue donors.
D．To replace a lost relative.
D
Shopping online in search of a bargain can often leave you feeling disappointed or out of pocket rather than satisfied.You can avoid this by following our simple advice：
PRODUCT—Before you look for the cheapest price，you need to decide what product you actually want.You can do this by researching online，the easiest way is to Google for different products so that you can decide on what would be best for you.
SEARCH & COMPARE—You are now ready to use a comparison website to try and find out the best prices.You should never just use one comparison website；using two or more will give you a balanced view of the market.Comparison websites are necessary.
You need to first check out what kind of technology a site uses.Although the idea behind Froogle (now called Google Products) is attractive，the technology it uses is not as advanced as sites such as Kelkoo and Pricerunner.Froogle uses a regular search engine.
And don’t expect price comparison sites to be a sure-fire way of getting a bargain.The sites will only show products from companies who pay them.This is not necessarily a bad thing—suppliers value their reputation and their business relationships.
AND SEARCH AGAIN—Before you buy you should search the product using a price comparison service，then try again just using a standard search engine—it might find the product with a cheaper price.
If you use Firefox to surf the web then there’s an add-on(附加的)tool that you can download which finds the cheapest price for a product for you.
It is called the Invisible Hand and it is free to download.For example，if you’re shopping online at Amazon，the Invisible Hand will pop_up and tell you that it is ￡ 56 cheaper at Dixons.
The tool will only work when you are looking at products，so it shouldn’t disturb your day to day internet surfing.The add-on is supported by well-known brands (品牌) such as BT，Comet and HMV but obviously it won’t search every single site out there，so it is still best to use a comparison site in addition to the tool.
68．According to the passage，how to decide what product to buy?
A．By shopping online.
B．By searching online.
C．By looking for the cheapest price.
D．By deciding which is best.
69．We can learn from the passage that ________.
A．we don’t need to use two or more comparison websites
B．comparison websites often give us wrong views and choices
C．all the search engines are the same advanced
D．different comparison websites use different technologies
70．What’s the exact meaning of the underlined phrase “pop up” in Paragraph 8?
A．shout B．appear
C．disappear D．hide
第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Around the world young people are spending unbelievable sums of money in listening to rock music.__71__ “It doesn’t make sense，” says Johnny Mathis，one of the oldest music millionaires，who made a million dollars a year when he was the most popular，in the 1950s.“Performers aren’t worth this kind of money.In fact，nobody is.” But the rock stars’ admirers seem to disagree.Those who love rock music spend about two billion dollars a year for records.They pay 150 million to see rock stars in person.
__72__ According to one theory，rock music has a special attraction because no real training is needed to produce it.There is no gulf between the audience and the performer.Every boy and girl in the audience thinks，“I could sing like that.” Young people are glad to pay to admire a rock star because it is a way of admiring themselves.
Luck is a keyword for explaining the success of many.__73__ Then，too，like most performers，McLean writes his own music，so he earns an additional two cents on every single record of the song.
__74__ Around the world young listeners soon want to see the star in movies，on television，and in person.Neil Young，who performs in torn blue jeans，sometimes sings to an audience of 10,000，each of whom has paid at least five dollars for a ticket.After paying expenses，Young leaves with about $18,000 in his blue jeans at the end of an evening.
How do the rock stars use their money？What do they do when the money starts pouring in like water？__75__ England’s Elton John gave someone a $38,000 Rolls Royce automobile and bought himself a $5,000 pair of eyeglasses.He also bought himself two cars，“one for each foot”．
However，after two or three years richness and fame are gone.Left with his memories and his tax problems，the lonely ex-performer spends his remaining years trying to impress strangers.New stars have arrived to take his place.
A．Records provide only part of a star’s income.
B．Most of the young stars simply throw the money around.
C．One of the luckiest was Don McLean，who wrote and sang “American Pie”．
D．Some observers think the customers are buying more than music.
E．Forbes Magazine claims that at least fifty rock stars have incomes of between two million and six million dollars per year.
F．When they need money again，they do another tour.
G．A star can earn much money by record-selling.

参考范文
In my opinion，money plays a very important part in our daily life.However，even though we can’t live without money，it isn’t everything.I think the most important thing about money is how we spend it and what we do with it.
If I had one million dollars，I would start many schools for children in poor areas，because they are badly in need of good education.I was totally shocked when I saw it in TV that so many children in China are too poor to go to school.Also，I would give away some money to those in need，because it’s better to give than to receive.
The reason why I would do these things is that money itself can’t bring us happiness.Only by helping others can we gain a real sense of happiness and pleasure.
