Choose the best word or phrase for each numbered blank and mark A, B, C or D on ANSWER SHEET 1. 25 Sugar cane was once a wild grass that g

18、rew in New Guinea and was used by local people for roofing their houses and fencing their gardens. Gradually a different variety evolved which contained sucrose(蔗糖 )and was chewed on for its sweet taste. Over time, sugar cane became a highly valuable commercial plant, grown throughout the world. 【 B

19、1】 _ Sugar became a vital ingredient in all kinds of things, from confectionery(糖果点心 )to medicine , and, as the demand for sugar grew, the industry became larger and more profitable.【 B2】 _Many crops withered(枯萎 )and died, despite growers, attempts to save them, and there were fears that the health

20、of the plant would continue to deteriorate. In the 1960s, scientists working in Barbados looked for ways to make the commercial species stronger and more able to resist disease. They experimented with breeding programmes, mixing genes from the wild species of sugar cane, which tends to be tougher, w

21、ith genes from the more delicate, commercial type.【 B3】 _This sugar cane is not yet ready to be sold commercially, but when this happens, it is expected to be incredibly profitable for the industry. 【 B4】 _Brazil, which produces one quarter of the world s sugar, has coordinated an international proj

22、ect under Professor Paulo Arrudo of the Universidade Estaudual de Campinas in Sao Paulo. Teams of experts have worked with him to discover more about which parts of the genetic structure of the plant are important for the production of sugar and its overall health. Despite all the research, however,

23、 we still do not fully understand how the genes function in sugar cane.【 B5】 _This gene is particularly exciting because it makes the plant resistant to rust, a disease which probably originated in India, but is now capable of infecting sugar cane across the world. Scientists believe they will event

24、ually be able to grow a plant which cannot be destroyed by rust. AUnfortunately, however, the plant started to become weaker and more prone to disease. BSugar cane was now much vigorous and the supply of sugar is therefore more guaranteed. COne major gene has been identified by Dr Angelique D Hont a

25、nd her team in Montpe-lier, France. DThe majority of the world s sugar now comes from this particular commercial species. ESince the 1960s, scientists have been analysing the mysteries of the sugar cane s genetic code. FThe sugar cane s genetic code has been found by a farmer in 1950. GEventually, a

26、 commercial plant was developed which was 5 percent sweeter than before, but also much stronger and less likely to die from disease. 26 【 B1】 27 【 B2】 28 【 B3】 29 【 B4】 30 【 B5】 30 Walking, if you do it vigorously enough, is the overall best exercise for regular physical activity.

To get【 C2】 _benefit from walking, aim for 45 minutes a day, an average of five days a week. Strength training is another i

32、WER SHEET 1. 40 Americans are getting ready for the biggest soccer event in the world. For the first time the world cup soccer competition will be held in the United States. While millions play the game around the world, soccer or football has only recently become popular here. It is only in the las

33、t 30 years that large numbers of young Americans became interested in soccer. Now it is the fastest growing sport in the country. A recent study found that almost 18 million young boys and girls play soccer in the United States. The study also found that soccer is beginning to replace more tradition

34、al games like American football as the most popular sport among students. And so, when the world cup begins next week, more than one million Americans are expected to go and see the teams play. Organizers say this year s world cup will be the biggest ever. All the seats at most of the 52 games have

35、already been sold. Soccer has been played in the United States for a little more than one hundred years. But how did the sport come to this country? And how long has it existed in other parts of the world? No one knows exactly where the idea for soccer came from, or when people began playing the gam

36、e. Some scientists say there is evidence that ball games using the feet were played thousands of years ago. There is evidence that ancient Greeks and Romans and native American Indians all played games similar to soccer. Most experts agree that Britain is the birthplace of modern soccer. They also a

37、gree that the British spread the game around the world. Unlike the game today, which uses balls of man-made material or leather, early soccer balls were often made of animal stomachs. The rules of early soccer games also differed from those we have today. 41 Which of the following statements is NOT

38、true according to the text? （ A） Americans were preparing for the world cup when the author wrote this article. （ B） More younger Americans became interested in soccer in the last 30 years. （ C） Soccer is the fastest developing sport in the world. （ D） The article was written before the world cup he

39、ld in the United States. 42 Which was the most popular sport as a traditional game among students? （ A） Basketball. （ B） American football. （ C） Soccer. （ D） Tennis. 43 For how long has soccer been played in the United States? （ A） About a hundred years. （ B） About fifty years. （ C） Only recently. （

40、 D） About thirty years. 44 Who invented the modern soccer game? （ A） American Indians. （ B） British. （ C） Greeks. （ D） Romans. 45 What is the author going to state in the next paragraph? （ A） There have been attempts to start a professional soccer organization in the U. S （ B） In the 12th century so

41、ccer games in Britain often involved whole towns. （ C） Professional soccer grew quickly in Europe. （ D） Experts believed that the United States would win. 45 The cohesiveness(内聚力 )of a family seems to rely on members sharing certain routine practices and events. For a growing share of the American l

42、abor force, however, working shifts beyond the normal daylight hours what we here call “shift work“makes the lives of families difficult. Existing research shows that both male and female shift workers express high levels of stress and a sense of conflict between the demands of work and family life.

43、 But shift work couples still maintain a traditional attitude to the meaning of marriage and the individual roles of husband and wife. They expressed a willingness to do “whatever it takes“ to approximate their view of a proper marriage, including sacrificing sleep and doing conventional things at u

44、nconventional hours. For the majority of couples interviewed, even when wives worked outside their homes, a proper marriage is characterized by a very clear division of roles: husbands are “providers“ whose major responsibility is to support the family; wives are “homemakers“ who clean, cook, and ca

45、re for husbands and children. The women s definitions of a “good husband“ are typified by the following wife s response: I expect him to be a good provider, and be there when I need him, loyal about the same things as he would expect out of me, expect that I expect him to dominate over me. But in a

46、manner of speaking , when it s time to be a man I expect him to stand up instead of sitting back expecting me to do everything. To husbands, a good wife is someone who is: Understanding of what I feel go through at work. I need that respect at work, I hope I get it at work. I want my wife to realize

47、 what I expect at work. I don t want her to give me a lot of shit when I come home from work because I don t know if this makes much sense. These views seemed critical to maintain the families of the shift workers. 46 Despite_, shift work couples still hoped to maintain a stable life. （ A） tradition

48、al beliefs about marriage （ B） lack of control over time （ C） a very clear division of roles （ D） the demands of work 47 From the selection, we can conclude that female shift workers were NOT satisfied with （ A） their work （ B） their children （ C） their husbands inability to protect the family and p

49、rovide companionship （ D） leisure activities 48 What is implied by the author? （ A） Shift work had a direct effect on the attitudes and behavior of family members. （ B） Shift workers could live a normal life. （ C） Shift work couples had unconventional ideas about marriage. （ D） Female shift workers were satisfied with the time spent together with their families. 49 In order to continue the marriages of the shift workers, _. （ A）
