The forecast came in the UN food a
8、gencys Food Outlook, a publication of the Global Information and Early Warning System. Closing inventories are expected to be down by 89 million tonnes, or 18 percent from their opening levels. The anticipated sharp decline in cereal stocks from the previous season would be mainly due to China, alth
9、ough substantial reductions are also anticipated in India, Russia, Ukraine and the European Union, mostly driven by the reductions in their 2003 cereal production, says the report. B However, the report says world cereal production in 2004 is forecast to increase to 2,130 million tonnes, some 2 perc
10、ent up on last year and 3 percent above the average of the past five years and that could help alleviate the tight global supply situation in the new 2004/2005 season. The bulk of the cereals increase is expected in wheat, although rice output is also seen to rise significantly. By contrast, coarse
11、grains production could decrease marginally. The report emphasizes, however, that this first forecast, especially for rice and coarse grains, is tentative and assumes normal weather conditions. According to the report, “The increase in global cereal output forecast for 2004 would come as a very welc
12、ome development for global food supply. The continued tightening of global cereal supplies for four successive years since 1999/2000 has brought international cereal prices under significant upward pressure in the past months. “ The report says, “Export prices for wheat, maize and rice all registere
13、d strong gains, reflecting tight market conditions. “ Because early prospects for wheat crops are favourable, some easing of wheat prices could be anticipated as the harvest approaches in the northern hemisphere in the coming months. But, the report says that export prices for coarse grains and rice
14、 are unlikely to recede any time soon based on current supply and demand prospects. C World cereal utilization in 2003/2004 is forecast at 1,971 million tonnes, up 1 percent from the previous year, but still slightly below the 10-year trend. In spite of a significant increase in international cereal
15、 prices and major animal disease outbreaks in the second half of the season, global cereal utilization is expected to rise above the previous season because of strong demand for feed and industrial use, especially in the linked States. The report anticipates an increase in food aid costs per unit in
16、 view of generally tighter world cereal supplies, strong international prices and soaring ocean freight rates for 2003/2004. It notes that total food aid shipments during this period “could decline slightly“. D The report adds that although world imports of cereals are forecast to decline by around
17、10 million tonnes in 2003/2004, higher prices and freight rates, and smaller food aid shipments, are expected to push up the overall cost of cereal imports by 2 percent from the previous year. FAOs Food Outlook will be published four times this year, in April, June, September and November. Questions

27、空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_Take me out to the ballgame It is a strange coincidence that many popular sports played today with a ball, big or small, were first played in the latter half of the 19th century. Only cricket set its rules earlier, in 1788. Basketball was invented in 1891. Other sports had
28、 antecedents: soccer, rugby and American football were all formalised in the 1860s and 1870s from what appears to be a common origin, while baseball was standardised around that time, as was golf though many Scots claim earlier origins. Tennis as we know it today was devised by Major Walter Clopton
29、Wingfield, a British army officer, for the entertainment of guests at his country estate in 1873. Tennis, though, is an exception in that the indoor form of the game was played with formal rules in England and France at least as far back as 1600. But even this is recent compared with ulama, a game o
30、nce played all over Mesoamerica, from the American Southwest to Peru. The oldest ulama court, in the Mexican state of Chiapas, was built around 1500BC, while latex balls used by the Olmecs, farther west, have been carbon-dated to 300 500 years earlier. This is not to say the rules of ulama have not
31、changed over the years-ritual sacrifice of the losers is thought to have died out in the 1300s. But, says Manuel Aguilar, a professor at California State University, in Los Angeles, who studies the game, it is unique in having a continual recorded history stretching back almost 4 ,000 years. Dr. Agu
32、ilar and his colleague James Brady have been directing a group of students in Sinaloa, a state in western Mexico. They have started a comprehensive study of ulama de cadera, one of three forms of ulama surviving in Sinaloa, which is perhaps the only place where the once-widespread game is still play
33、ed. Dr Aguilar speculates that this is because Sinaloa was a frontier during the time of the Spanish colonisation of the Americas, when ulama was largely eliminated by the intervention of Catholic missionaries who decried its pagan associations. Ulama is played on a long, narrow court, called a tast
34、e, which is 60 metres long and only four metres wide. The opposing sides, of five players each, take turns serving the four kilogram rubber ball and thereafter trying to move the ball up the field, hitting it only with the hip or upper thigh, which are protected by special garments. Points are score
35、d if one team fails to return the others serve across the halfway point of the taste, or if the serving team succeeds in getting the ball past the opponents end line. The first team to score eight points wins. However, as Dr Aguilar and his colleagues point out in a series of papers forthcoming in t
36、he May issue of Estudios Jaliscienses, a Mexican journal, the rules of ulama are still today in flux, and often not even understood by the participants. This is why in a match each team brings a veedor, an elder who is meant to settle disputes over the rules. Dr. Aguilar, though, is less concerned w
37、ith the details of the rules of the game, but with its social implications, both in Sinaloa today, and in Mesoamerica generally over the course of ulamas history. While Dr Brady is, by training, an anthropologist, and so directs the teams efforts to compile an ethnography of the present-day game, Dr
38、 Aguilar is an art historian. While this may seem an unorthodox pairing, it has allowed them to make some novel insights. For example, until their recent work, it was believed in academia that ulama was only played by men. However, in their detailed questioning of current players, they found that wo
39、men play the game today, albeit as an exception, because female players are often stigmatized as being too macho. One of their informants is 94 years old and remembers female players from his youth, so the researchers are fairly certain that women have played throughout the 20th century. And Dr Agui
40、lars analysis of clay figurines, he says, indicates that women played routinely in pre-Columbian times, indeed as far back as 1200BC. This leads Dr Aguilar to speculate that women stopped playing only because of Spanish intervention, and resumed 100-200 years ago. Another concern of Dr Aguilars is t
41、he balls used to play the game. He says synthetic rubber cannot be used, as there is a strong tradition of using natural rubber. Because natural rubber is now scarce in Mexico, and the process of making a ball takes about 30 hours, the supply of balls is constraining the spread of the game. Indeed,
42、to understand the process better, Dr Brady tried to make several balls together with his students. The process involved smearing hot latex on his hands and arms, allowing it to dry, and then peeling the strips off and wrapping them around the core of the ball until it reaches the requisite size and
43、weight. The traditional process, says Dr Brady, is necessary to give the ball sufficient bounce. First-hand experience has caused Dr Brady to revise his understanding of the significance of tributes paid in the 16th century to the Aztec empire, when ulama balls were used as a de facto currency. Dr B
44、rady thinks that the growing of rubber in the Aztec empire was probably much more extensive than had previously been thought, as was the production of balls, which may have served as the store of value for an entire economic system. Both Dr Brady and Dr Aguilar have tried to play ulama themselves, b
45、ut Dr Aguilar says that, although some of his graduate students persevered for longer, the bruises he sustained from the heavy ball caused him quickly to abandon playing the game. The same, it seems, cannot be said of the inhabitants of Sinaloa. （分数：0.96）(1).The oldest ulama court in the Mexican sta
