Ⅲ.阅读理解
People can't survive without food. Long ago, early people couldn't grow crops, so they had to live by hunting animals and gathering grains. After a tribe(部落) had lived in an area for some time, its food supply would begin to reduce. Then the tribe had to move to new hunting grounds where there was more food.
This way of life caused special problems for the tribes. They were forced to depend on luck, as well as on their hunting skills. If they could find no game,_the whole tribe would be in danger of starving. And when the hunters had good luck one day, they were not sure to find game the next time. The tribes moved often because much land was needed to support their people.
As time passed by, people learned that they could grow their food. At first, the women of tribes collected patches of wild grain. Later, people discovered that they could plant their own seeds. Farming slowly became a way of life.
As people turned away from hunting to farming, their life changed. When the food supply became richer and richer, they no longer moved from place to place. The success of their crops depended partly on the weather, but there were also things they could do to help crops grow.
In the past, a tribe had to travel many miles for food. Now, only a small amount of land was necessary to feed the whole tribe. The early tribe could grow in size because farming provided a way to feed people.
文章大意:人要生存就离不开食物,我们的祖先最初是靠种植来获取食物吗?阅读本篇了解一下种植物是如何成为人类一种生存方式的。
1.Why did the early tribes move so often?
A.They enjoyed traveling around.
B.They had to find enough food.
C.Because of the bad weather they did not like to stay in one place.
D.They liked to go hunting everywhere.
答案:B 细节理解题。根据第一段第三、四句After a tribe had lived in an area for some time, its food supply would begin to reduce. Then the tribe had to move to new hunting grounds where there was more food.可知答案为B。
2.The underlined word “game” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.
A.游戏 B.比赛
C.野味 D.赌博
答案:C 词义猜测题。根据第二段第二、三句They were forced to depend on luck, as well as on their hunting skills. If they could find no game, the whole tribe would be in danger of starving.得知,他们主要靠幸运活下来,如果找不到野味(猎物),整个部落会处于饿死的危险境地。由前面hunting便知答案为C。
3.When farming provided enough food to people, ________.
A.the women didn't do any work at all
B.the tribe could grow larger and life became steady
C.they did not move at all
D.they no longer went hunting
答案:B 细节理解题。根据文章最后一句The early tribe could grow in size because farming provided a way to feed people.便知B项内容正确。
4.From the passage we can infer that ________.
A.early tribes liked moving from place to place
B.hunting was interesting in early days
C.the change from hunting to farming happened very quickly
D.life was hard and unsteady for early tribes
答案:D 推理判断题。从第一段中得知,“一个部落在某一地区居住一段时间后,食物量不断减少,该部落不得不搬到有更多食物的地方”;从第二段中得知,“他们主要靠幸运活下来,如果找不到野味(猎物),整个部落会处于饿死的危险境地”。因此对早期的种族来说,生活是艰辛的,不稳定的。
Ⅳ.完形填空
Dear editor,
I'm a student in a common agricultural university. As you know, few people think __1__ of an agricultural university,especially which is not __2__. It is ten times __3__ difficult for a graduate from our university to __4__ a satisfactory job than for those who __5__ more respected subjects at a famous university. Most graduates from our university can __6__ to be treated coldly.
Last year a __7__ from our university attended a talent fair (人才招聘会) __8__ in Guangzhou. He joined a queue to __9__ in his recommendation(推荐) form for an interview. When his __10__ came, the interviewer asked him, “Which university did you graduate from?” When the graduate told him the __11__ of our university, the interviewer said with a sneer, “What? I've never heard of that university. Go! Next!” He waved his hand __12__ even taking a look at his recommendation form and took no notice of the graduate's request for a chance to show his skills and __13__.
Another interviewer told the graduate, “Sorry, if you had graduated from Peking University,we would take you on.”
How __14__ the graduate was! I wondered what these employers __15__ wanted: the name of a famous university __16__ knowledge and technology?
It is true that __17__ students from common universities don't have the same abilities as those students from key ones on the whole,but that doesn't __18__ that all of us are less able students. I'm __19__ that we are going to try to do as well as those from key universities. We will __20__ the employers with our skills. So give us a chance.
Yours,

文章大意:招聘时,用人单位是看重大学的名气还是更注重专业技能呢?阅读本篇,感受一个农业大学毕业生的困惑吧!
1.A.lowly B.highly
C.little D.greatly
答案:B 固定搭配题。联系全文我们可以知道,人们对农业大学,尤其是非名牌农业大学并不看重,空前的few决定了其他答案不能入选。think highly of看重……。
2.A.well-known B.beautiful
C. important D.skillful
答案:A 逻辑推理题,从第三段中的“Sorry,if you had graduated from Peking University,we would take you on.”我们得知,招聘者看重的是大学的名气,而不是技能的重要性。从全文来看可排除其他选项。
3.A.greater B.less
C.fewer D.more
答案:D 逻辑推理题。本空承接上句而来,“很少有人看得起农业大学,尤其是非名牌农业大学”,因此我们大学的毕业生找工作更加困难。A、C不能修饰形容词比较级。B项与语意相反。
4.A.accept B.find
C.change D.follow
答案:B 固定搭配题。find a job意思是“找工作”。通读全文,我们可以知道,作者谈论的是大学生找工作难的问题,而不是接受工作或改变工作,因此A、C不合句意。
5.A.study B.understand
C.change D.follow
答案:A 固定搭配题。作者在此将农业大学与有着令人尊敬的专业的著名大学相比。从空后的respected subjects可得此答案提示。
6.A.need B.wish
C.expect D.hope
答案:C 词义辨析题。“预计我们大学的大多数毕业生都会被冷漠对待”,从下文一名大学毕业生的求职经历,作者作出如此预测,其他选项不合句意。
7.A.teacher B.graduate
C.parent D.professor
答案:B 词汇复现题。从后文“Which university did you graduate from?When the graduate...”我们得知,去求职的是一名毕业生。本文讨论的是非名牌、非热门专业大学生就业难的问题,因此A、C、D不合句意。
8.A.held B.built
C.had D.offered
答案:A 固定搭配题。“在广州举办的人才招聘会”。held在这里为过去分词作定语,意思是“举办”。B、D与人才交流会不能连用。have也有“举办”的意思,但不能用于被动结构。
9.A.give B.share
C.let D.hand
答案:D 固定搭配题。联系上下文我们可以得知,这名毕业生要参加求职面试,因此他首先要递交(hand in)他的面试推荐表。give in意思是“屈服,投降”;share in意思是“分担”;let in意思是“让……进入”,都不符合句意。
10.A.time B.turn
C.chance D.interview
答案:B 逻辑推理题。由前文的He joined a queue...我们知道,他是站在求职者的队伍中排队等候,因此作者说“当轮到他时”。
11.A.address B.telephone
C.name D.number
答案:C 前后照应题。从后文“What?I've never heard of that university.”我们得知,这名毕业生告诉他的是他们学校的校名,而不是地址或电话。
12.A.with B.away
C.up D.without
答案:D 词义辨析题。他甚至没有看一眼推荐表。从空后的even可以得到此答案提示。A项与语意相反,B、C两项都是副词,后面不能接doing作宾语。
13.A.books B.subjects
C.request D.knowledge
答案:D 前后照应题。按照常规,面试者应该注重学生的技能和学识。
14.A.pity B.surprised
C.angry D.sorry
答案:C 背景常识题。听了这番话,生气是正常的。
15.A.really B.certainly
C.finally D.proudly
答案:A 逻辑推理题。由空后问句可知,作者想知道面试者想得到的究竟是什么。
16.A.or B.and
C.but D.so
答案:A 逻辑推理题。这里表示选择。
17.A.much B.some
C.many D.most
答案:B 逻辑推理题。要得到本空的答案,我们首先要弄明白作者的态度:作者对面试者拒绝农业大学的毕业生感到极度气愤。他认为农业大学的毕业生并不比名牌大学的毕业生能力差。因此他认为,从总体上来说,只有少数的农业大学毕业生不如名牌大学的毕业生。C、D有较大干扰性。但根据作者的态度来看都不如B合适。
18.A.explain B.mean
C.say D.translate
答案:B 前后照应题。弄明白上空的答案此题便随之迎刃而解。some students并不能代表all of us。say的主语一般是人。
19.A.practical B.popular
C.lucky D.sure
答案:D 固定搭配题。“...we are going to try to do as well as those from key universities.”是作者确信的内容。
20.A.impress B.warn
C.prove D.disappoint
答案:A 固定搭配题。“我们要用我们的技能给雇主留下深刻印象。”C项有一定干扰性,空后的the employers决定了C项不正确;impress sb.意思是“给某人留下深刻印象”。
Ⅴ.短文改错
Some Americans judge success on the length of his vacations. The man who gets a month's vacation each year consider himself more successful than the man gets two weeks. Many people want to be teachers because it are teachers who can get three-month vacation every year. Some college teachers who teach the three classes consider themselves less successful than that who teach only one or two, or none in all. In short, the less work Americans do, the less successful they consider themselves.
答案:

There are lots of insects that farmers hate. But there also are some they like. They protect crops against damage from other insects. A good example is the lady beetle, which is also known as the ladybug(瓢虫).
Lady beetles are a natural control for aphids(蚜虫). Lady beetles are red, orange or black. They often have black spots, though some have light colored spots. Different kinds of lady beetles have different numbers of spots. There are lady beetles with four, five, seven and fourteen spots.
Many of the well-known kinds of lady beetles come from Asia or Europe. They now are common throughout the United States.
American scientists imported one kind of lady beetle, the multicolored Asian lady beetle, as early as 1916. They released them as an attempt to control some kinds of insects. Over the years, the beetle has become established, possibly helped by some that arrived with imported plants on ships.
Experts say over 450 kinds of lady beetles are found in North America. Some are native to the area. Others have been brought from other places. Almost all are helpful to farmers.
The Asian lady beetles now in the United States probably came from Japan. The Asian lady beetle eats aphids that damage crops like soybeans, fruits and berries.
In the southern United States, Asian lady beetles have reduced the need for farmers to use pest-killing poisons on pecan trees. This popular tree nut suffers from aphids and other pests that the lady beetles eat.
But some people say the Asian lady beetle has itself become a pest. They worry that the lady beetles may eat their late-autumn fruit crops.
Experts say Asian lady beetles may appear in large numbers in some years. But they say the insects are too helpful to be considered as pests.
1.What do ladybugs look like?
A.All kinds of ladybugs are of the same color.
B.Most of them are red, orange or black.
C.They each have the same number of spots on them.
D.Most of them have fourteen spots.
答案:B 由第二段第二句可知B项正确,同时排除A项;由第二段第四句可知C项错误;D项文中没有提及。
2.Asian ladybugs have been in the United States for______.
A.nine decades B.hundreds of years
C.half a century D.a century
答案:A 由第四段第一句可知自1916年至今应为90多年,但离一个世纪还有好几年,所以A项为最佳选项。
3.According to the passage the following statements are supported EXCEPT________.
A.there are more than 450 kinds of ladybugs in North America, including native ones
B.only some imported ladybugs are helpful to the local plants
C.soybeans, fruits and berries are favorites of aphids.
D.pecan trees are common in the south of America
答案:B 由第五段最后一句可知B项与文章内容相悖。其余选项所述内容都与文章内容相符。
4.According to the experts, ladybugs are________.
A.more helpful than considered as pets
B.more pests than helpful insects
C.helpful as well as destructive
D.are more destructive than helpful
答案:A 根据末段最后一句可知,专家的观点是瓢虫益大于弊,不应被视为害虫。

Father was the__3__(much) persistent (固执的) scholar I ever knew. Every summer he took a month or so off to attend classes. Eventually, he earned seven degrees, attended 11 different colleges and universities. My sister and I were the immediate beneficiaries of Father's insatiable (不能满足的)__4__(hungry) to learn.
Before I was three, my father was reading aloud to me. Thereafter, I read aloud to him so he'd work on my__5__(pronounce). By the time I was in the fifth grade, I'd recite__6__classical literature to poetry and had to be prepared to do__7__. Then Father would warn me by quoting a saying from Shakespeare,“__8__all the year were playing holidays, to sport would be as tedious (乏味的) as to work.” Obviously, his efforts weren't entirely__9__vain, for my voice has enabled me to earn a fair livelihood. But that fact doesn't begin to define the enormous debt__10__I owe my father.
1.______ 2.______ 3.______ 4.______ 5.______
6.______ 7.______ 8.______ 9.______ 10.______
答案:父亲孜孜不倦学习的精神使“我”受益匪浅。
1.lining 从本句话的语境可以知道父亲买了3000多本书,而且把它们分门别类地摆放好,书的内容很丰富,book与line之间存在主谓关系,故用lining的分词形式。
2.on on表示“关于”,意思是关于每一个科目的都有。
3.most 从本句句意“父亲是我知道的最固执的教授”可知用最高级most。
4.hunger 由于该空前面的insatiable是形容词,修饰的应该是名词,故用hunger,表示对学习的渴望。
5.pronunciation 父亲给“我”大声地读书,“我”也给父亲读,让他纠正“我”的发音。形容词性物主代词后应用名词。work on“从事,致力于”。
6.from 上五年级的时候“我”已经能够背诵古代文学和诗歌。from...to...“从……到……”。
7.so 此处so是代词,代替背诵古代文学和诗歌等等。
8.If 如果全年都是假期的话,那么运动也和工作一样乏味。
9.in 从上文可以知道父亲从“我”小时候起就对“我”进行艰苦的训练,而“我”也取得了一定的成绩,故父亲的努力没有白费。in vain“徒劳地”。
10.that I owe my father是定语从句,修饰debt,从句中缺少宾语。

答案:在和Mate的谈话中,Jessica提到了自己的理想工作是当一名医生助理。你的理想工作是什么?通过Jessica的谈论一同来思考一下吧。
1.up 考查固定搭配。grow up意为“长大”。
2.when/if 考查状语从句连词。句意:当/如果你走进医生的办公室……
3.surgery 这里不用surgeon的原因就是,前面所说的都是医生对患者所做的事,在这里来了个转折,指的是前面所说的都不是手术。
4.doesn't have/does not have 考查动词形式。结合全文以及常识可知,Jessica前面所说的the little things,都是助理做的事情,而不是医生做的。
5.make/earn 考查固定搭配。make/earn money“挣钱”。
6.How 考查疑问副词。根据后文的一系列描述可知。
7.obviously 考查副词。修饰动词take用副词形式。
8.an 考查冠词。注意这里是填an不是a。
9.own 考查限定词。your own意为“你自己的”。
10.wishes 考查固定用法。句意:祝你早日成为一名医生助手。best wishes为固定搭配。

名师点拨
意义不同的两个动词-ing形式并列作主语时,谓语动词需用复数形式。

二、难点突破
(一)某些动词及动词短语后面既可以用不定式也可以用动词-ing作宾语

Ⅳ.阅读理解
LONDON (Reuters)—Organic fruit, delivered right to the doorstep. That is what Gabriel Gold prefers, and he is willing to pay for it. If this is not possible, the 26-year-old computer technician will spend the extra money at the supermarket buying organic food.
“Organic product is always better,” Gold said. “The food is free of pesticides(杀虫剂), and you are generally supporting family farms instead of large farms. And more often than not it is locally grown and seasonal, so it is tasty.” Gold is one of the growing number of shoppers buying into the_organic_trend,_and supermarkets across Britain are counting on more like him as they grow their organic food business. But how many shoppers really know what they are getting, and why are they willing to pay a higher price for organic product? Market research shows that Gold and others who buy organic food can generally give clear reasons for their preferences—but their knowledge of organic food is far from complete. For example, small amounts of pesticides can be used on organic product. And about three quarters of organic food in Britain is not local but imported to meet growing demand. “The demand for organic food is increasing by about one third every year, so it is a very fast-growing market,” said Sue Flock, a specialist in this line of business.
文章大意:有机农产品不用农药,更环保,更健康。尽管价格稍高,但受到人们青睐。
1.More and more people in Britain are buying organic food because ________.
A.they are getting richer
B.they can get the food anywhere

A.It grows indoors all year round.
B.It is produced outside Britain.
C.It is grown on family farms.
D.It is produced on large farms.
答案:B 细节理解题。此题考查审题的缜密性。本题的题眼在“most”一词。根据第二段中的“And about three quarters of organic food in Britain is not local but imported to meet growing demand.”可知,英国本地生产有机农产品,但是四分之三的有机农产品是从国外进口的。据此选B。
3.What is the meaning of the underlined words “the organic trend” in the second paragraph?
A.Growing interest in organic food.
B.Better quality of organic food.
C.Rising market for organic food.
D.Higher prices of organic food.
答案:A 词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“Gold is one of the growing number of shoppers buying into the organic trend...”可知,越来越多的人购买有机农产品,结果成了一种潮流。故选A。
4.What is the best title for this news story?
A.Organic food—healthy, or just for the wealthy?
B.The making of organic food in Britain
C.Organic food—to import or not?
D.Good qualities of organic food
答案:A 主旨大意题。综观全文可知,有机农产品不用农药,更环保,更健康。在英国,四分之三的有机农产品是从国外进口的,价格稍高一点,但是购买的人还是越来越多。B项、C项和D项都是片面的。

It was a need that he first __1__ back in 1906 when young Dale was a junior at State Teachers College in Warrensburg. To get an __2__, he was struggling against many difficulties.

文章大意:本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了来自密苏里农场籍籍无名的戴尔·卡耐基如何克服困难,获得信心,最终成为一位国际名人。
1.A.admitted B.filled
C.supplied D.recognized
答案:D 由上文提到他找到了一种满足全世界的人的需要的办法,因此,首先应该意识到需要。故选D项,recognize认出,意识到。“早在1906年他上初中时,他第一次意识到那是一种需要”。而admit承认;fill填满,满足;supply供应。皆不合句意。
2.A.assignment B.education
C.advantage D.instruction
答案:B 由下文可知,他努力克服困难受教育,故选B项。assignment作业,任务;advantage长处,好处;instruction指导,指示,教导。皆不合句意。
3.A.training B.board
C.teaching D.equipment
答案:B 由下文“戴尔不得不骑马12公里去上课”,可知是父亲支付不起大学的膳食费。board 伙食,膳食,符合句意。而培训、教学,仪器费不是骑马就能解决的,故可排除。
4.A.between B.during
C.over D.through
答案:A “学习不得不在他做农活的间隙里进行”,between在……之间,符合句意。during,over,through在……期间,指伴随着同时进行,那是不恰当的,不能一边做农活一边学习。
5.A.while B.when
C.because D.though
答案:C “他退出学校的许多活动”与“他没有时间”之间是因果关系,故选C项。
6.A.permits B.interest

8.A.light B.flexible
C.optimistic D.outgoing
答案:A light轻的;flexible灵活的;optimistic乐观的;outgoing外向的。对比四个选项,足球教练拒绝他只能是因为“他太轻了”。故选A项。
9.A.gaining B.achieving
C.developing D.obtaining
答案:C 他慢慢产生了不如人的自卑感。develop形成,产生,发展,符合句意。gain, achieve, obtain都是“获得”的意思,不合句意。
10.A.prevent B.protect
C.save D.free
答案:A which引导定语从句,修饰先行词an inferiority complex (自卑感)。他妈妈知道自卑感会阻止他获得真正的潜能。prevent sb. from doing sth.阻止某人做某事,故选A项。其它三项,尽管动词搭配正确,但与上下文意思不符。
11.A.suggested B.demanded
C.required D.insisted
答案:A 由下文Dale took his mother's advice,可知是“妈妈建议他参见学校辩论队。”故选A项。
12.A.presence B.practice
C.patience D.potential
答案:B 由下文的tried desperately他拼命努力,可知“他妈妈相信演讲方面的练习会让他得到他需要的自信和认可”,故选B项。presence出席,到场;potential潜力,潜能。皆不合句意。

I never really paid much attention to one particular flower until this year. The tulip (郁金香). Yes,it is beautiful. It is one of the first signs of spring. Still,I can't say that I have attempted to add it to our garden simply because it has such a short lifetime.
Tulips are suitable to be gifts. So, the few we have in and around our house have come from the gifts given to us or the ones I have chosen for my wife like this year. Because the weather warmed very early, I wanted to buy something “spring-like” to begin growing. I chose a small tulip already producing new leaves and gave it to my wife.
In a very short time it began growing. Because it was truly the first visible sign of spring for me,I paid more attention to it and I'm glad I did. Every morning it opened in response to the sun welcoming all that it had to offer. Every evening it closed. This went on without hesitation for days. Then one day I found it spread its flowers fully in the sunlight. I had never seen it in that way before. Out of curiosity I touched the flower and two leaves. I felt terrible. It was then that I realized that the flower had come to the end of its days. That was when I realized how much I had been missing by not paying more attention to the tulip.
Still,the most amazing part was that it really wasn't over yet. When I would see it as a gone-too-soon dead flower,it was already planning for a comeback. You see, the remaining leaves begin storing energy for future growth next year.
文章大意:本文讲述了作者对郁金香一步一步至完全的认识了解。
1.The author wouldn't add the tulip to their garden before because ________.
A.it was an expensive plant
B.it needed special care
C.it had a short lifetime
D.it took a lot of space
答案:C 细节理解题。根据第一段“... I can't say that I have attempted to add it to our garden simply because it has such a short lifetime.”可知,作者不愿在花园种郁金香主要是因为它的生命太短暂。
2.The author paid more attention to the tulips because ______.
A.they were more beautiful than other flowers
B.they were in flower earlier than other plants
C.the flowers smelt sweeter than others
D.they needed to be watered more times
答案:B 推理判断题。根据第三段第二句可知,作者之所以关注郁金香,是因为它是春天到来的最早迹象。可以推断,郁金香开花要早于其他植物。
3.What is the feature of the tulip?
A.It opens in the day and closes at night.
B.It opens at night and closes in the day.
C.It opens both in the day and at night.
D.The time of its being open is long.
答案:A 细节理解题。根据第三段“Every morning it opened in response to the sun welcoming all that it had to offer. Every evening it closed.”可知,郁金香的特征是白天迎着太阳打开花瓣,晚上又将花瓣合上。
4.What does the tulip look like before the end of its life?
A.The flowers appear to be smaller and dead soon.
B.The dead leaves fall onto the floor.
C.The flowers become too dry to be touched.
D.The flowers spread to their fullest.
答案:D 细节理解题。根据第三段“Then one day I found it spread its flowers fully in the sunlight... It was then that I realized that the flower had come to the end of its days.”可知,郁金香在生命即将结束时花朵最为饱满。

Investing(投资) in agricultural research and development can help poor countries fight hunger and poverty. A new study says investments in sub-Saharan 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 one-third of it. Ghana, Tanzania, Sudan and Uganda also increased their spending, but 13 countries reduced their investments.
Nienke Beintema from the Washington-based 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 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 the 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, Mauritania 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. Many donations are short-term, 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 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。
5.What is the main idea of this passage?
A.Poor African countries are looking for donations.
B.Many African countries are suffering from hunger and poverty.
C.Many African countries are not investing enough in agricultural research.
D.Poor 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。
6.We can infer Nienke Beintema hopes that ________.
A.no international donations will be provided for African countries
B.more money will be spent in developing new technologies in Africa
C.some African countries will reduce investments in agri-cultural research
D.researchers 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 climate 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。
7.What does the underlined word “enhanced” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Changed. B.Increased.
C.Checked. D.Removed.
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的投资很少,根据第一段的“Nigeria was responsible for one-third 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。
8.Which of the following countries might NOT spend enough money on agricultural research in 2008?
A.Botswana. B.Burundi.
C.Uganda. D.Nigeria.
答案:D 细节理解题。根据第三段的“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.”可知应选D。
9.According to the last paragraph, why aren't new researchers hired?
A.Because they are not qualified.
B.Because they are too old to be hired.
C.Because the budget for researchers is limited.
D.Because 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。
