7、ot of reasons. Some tourists go to see battlefields or religious shrines. Others are looking for culture, or simply want to have their pictures taken in front of famous places. But most European tourists are looking for a sunny beach to lie on. Northern Europeans are willing to pay a lot of money an

8、d put up with a lot of inconveniences for the sun because they have so little of it. Residents of cities like London, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam spend a lot of their winter in the dark because the days are so short, and much of the rest of the year in the rain. This is the reason why the Mediterranea

9、n has always attracted them. Every summer, more than 25 million people travel to Mediterranean resorts and beaches for their vacation. They all come for the same reason: sun! The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economies of Mediterranean countries. Italy“s 30,000 hotels are booked solid every

10、 summer. And 13 million people camp out on French beaches, parks, and roadsides. Spain“s long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhere else. 37 million tourists visit yearly, or one tourist for every person living it/Spain. But there are signs that the area is getting more tourism than it

11、can handle. The Mediterranean is already one of the most polluted seas on earth. And with increased tourism, it“s getting worse. The French can“t figure out what to do with all the garbage left by campers around St. Tropez. And in many places, swimming is dangerous because of pollution. None of this

12、, however, is spoiling anyone“s fun. The Mediterranean gets more popular every year with tourists. Obviously, they don“t go there for clean water and solitude. They tolerate traffic jams and seem to like crowded beaches. They don“t even mind the pollution. No matter how dirty the water is, the coast

13、line still looks beautiful. And as long as the sun shines, it“s still better than sitting in the cold rain in Berlin, London, or Oslo.（分数：7.00）(1).When people travel, they like to take pictures in front of famous places by themselves.（分数：1.00）A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned(2).The writer seems to impl

16、 tourist for every person living in Spain“ means that every year, the number of tourists who visit Spain is almost the same as the people living in that country.（分数：1.00）A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned(7).According to the passage, polluted water might spoil the tourists“ fun at Mediterranean resorts a

Dr. Tony Fischer, crop scientist, said demand was growing at 2.5% per year, but with modern t

18、echnologies and the development of new ones, the world should be able to stay ahead. 2 “The global decline in investment in international agricultural research must be reversed if significant progress is to be made towards reducing malnutrition and poverty,“ be said. 3 Research is needed to solve fo

19、od production, land degradation and environmental problems. Secure local food supplies led to economic growth which, in turn, slowed population growth. Dr. Fischer painted a picture of the world“s ability to feed itself in the first 25 years, when the world“s population is expected to rise from 5.8

20、to 8 billion people. He said that things will probably hold or improve but there“ll still be a lot of hungry people. The biggest concentration of poor and hungry people would be in sub-Saharan Africa and southern Asia in 2020, similar to the current pattern. If there is any change, a slight improvem

21、ent will be seen in southern Asia, but not in sub-Saharan Africa. The major improvement will be in East Asia, South America and South-East Asia. 4 The developing world was investing about 0.5%, or $8 billion a year, of its agricultural gross domestic product (GDP) on research, and the developed worl

22、d was spending 2.5% of its GDP. Dr. Fischer said more was needed from all countries. 5 He said crop research could produce technologies that spread across many countries, such as wheat production research having spin-offs for Mexico, China or India. 6 “Technologies still need to be refined for the l

23、ocal conditions but a lot of the strategic research can have global application, so that money can be used very efficiently,“ Dr. Fischer said. 7 Yields of rice, wheat and maize have grown impressively in the past 30 years, especially in developing countries. For example, maize production rose from

24、2-8 tonnes per hectare between 1950 and 1995. But technologies driving this growth, such as high-yield varieties, fertilisers, and irrigation, were becoming exhausted. “If you want to save the land for non-agricultural activities, for forests and wildlife, you“re going to have to increase yield,“ Dr

25、. Fischer said.（分数：8.00）(1).Paragraph 1 1 A. The Same or Improved Food Supply Situation in 2020 B. Research Focuses on Increased Yield C. More Research Funding Needed D.

They have a beginning, a middle, and an endwith commercials thrown in every three or four minutes. The commercials are unavoidable. They happen whe

29、ther you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard glides by outside the bus window. “Buy Super Clean Toothpaste.“ “Drink Good “n“ Wet Root Beer.“ “Fill up with Pacific Gas.“ Only if you sleep, which is equal to turning the television set off, are you spared the unending cry of “You Need

30、 It! Buy It Now!“ The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if you“ve traveled that way before. Usually some things have changednew houses, new buildings, sometimes even a new road. The bus driver has a style of driving and it“s fun to try to figure it out the first hour o

31、r so. If the driver is particularly reckless or daring, the ride can he as thrilling as a suspense story. Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the right or the left-hand lane? After a while, of course, the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle

32、hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But you“ve got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops. The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know it will soon he over and there“s a kind of expectation

33、 and excitement in that. The seat, of course, has become harder as the hours have passed. By now you“ve sat with your legs crossed, with your hands in your lap, with your hands on the arm restseven with your hands crossed behind your head. The end comes just at the right time. There are just no more

34、 ways to sit.（分数：15.00）(1).According to the passage, what do the passengers usually see when they are on a long bus trip?（分数：3.00）A.Buses on the road.B.Films on television.C.Advertisements on the board.D.Gas stations.(2).What is the purpose of this passage?（分数：3.00）A.To give the writer“s opinion abo

38、hway, multi-mediafor those who have seen the future, the linking of computers, television and telephones will change our lives forever. Yet for all the talk of a forthcoming technological utopia little attention has been given to the implications of these developments for the poor. As with all new h

39、igh technology, while the West concerns itself with the “how“, the question of “for whom“ is put aside once again. Economists are only now realizing the full extent to which the communications revolution has affected the world economy, Information technology allows the extension of trade across geog

40、raphical and industrial boundaries, and transnational corporations take full advantage of it. Terms of trade, exchange and interest rates and money movements are more important than the production of goods. The electronic economy made possible by information technology allows the haves to increase t

41、heir control on global marketswith destructive impact on the have-nots. For them the result is instability. Developing countries which rely on the production of a small range of goods for export are made to feel like small parts in the international economic machine. As “futures“ are traded on compu

42、ter screens, developing countries simply have less and less control of their destinies. So what are the options for regaining control? One alternative is for developing countries to buy in the latest computers and telecommunications themselvesso-called “development communications“ modernization. Yet

43、 this leads to long-term dependency and perhaps permanent constraints on developing countries“ economies. Communications technology is generally exported from the U.S., Europe or Japan l the patents, skills and ability to manufacture remain in the hands of a few industrialized countries. It is also

44、expensive, and imported products and services must therefore be bought on creditcredit usually provided by the very countries whose companies stand to gain. Furthermore, when new technology is introduced there is often too low a level of expertise to exploit it for native development. This means tha

45、t while local elites, foreign communities and subsidiaries of transnational corporations may benefit, those whose lives depend on access to the information are denied by it.（分数：15.00）(1).From the passage we know that the development of high technology is in the interests of _.（分数：3.00）A.the world ec

46、onomyB.the rich countriesC.the scientific developmentD.the elite(2).It can be inferred from the passage that _.（分数：3.00）A.the interests of the poor countries have not been given enough considerationB.the export of the poor countries should be increasedC.communications technology in the developing co

47、untries should he modernizedD.international trade should be expanded(3).Why does the author say that the electronic economy may have a destructive impact on developing countries?（分数：3.00）A.Because it destroys the economic balance of the poor countries.B.Because it inhibits the industrial growth of d

48、eveloping countries.C.Because it enables the developed countries to control the international market.D.Because it violates the national boundaries of the poor countries.(4).The development of modern communications technology in developing countries may _.（分数：3.00）A.force them to reduce their share o

49、f exportsB.cost them their economic independenceC.hinder their industrial productionD.cause them to lose control of their trade(5).The author“s attitude toward the communications revolution is _.（分数：3.00）A.tolerantB.indifferentC.positiveD.critical七、第三篇(总题数：1，分数：15.00)Eating MeatLess or More?Every second in the United States alone, more than 250 animals are slaughtered for food, adding up to more than 8 billion animals each year.
