A lot, actually. Over the past several years Waldo Jaquith intended to make a hamburger from scratch, to no avail. "Further reflection revealed that it's quite impractical— 1 impossible—to make a hamburger from scratch," he writes. "Tomatoes are in season in the late summer. Lettuce is in season in spring and fall. Large mammals are 2 in early winter. The process of making such a burger would take nearly a year and would inherently involve omitting some core hamburger ingredients." That the hamburger—our delicious and comforting everyman food—didn't 3 100 years ago is a greasy, shiny example of all that is both right and wrong with our modern food economy. Thanks to fertilizers, genetically modified crops, concentrated farming operations and global overnight shipping, much of the world was lifted out of starvation 4 it could finally grow 5 quantities of food with decreasing labor input. But these same 6 that allow food to be grown out of season and in all corners of the globe contribute to a whole host of environmental 7. The "industrialization of food," as author Paul Roberts puts it, is an endless cycle driven by very small price 8 that force food processors to adopt more advanced techniques to produce even more food at lower prices. This system will only be aggravated as food demand increases. Recently David Tilman and Jason Hill of the University of Minnesota released a study 9 that global food demand could double by 2050. It's 10that our current, impractical food economy can sustain that demand. （分数：20.00） 填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：C） 填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：G） 填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：F） 填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：N） 填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：A） 填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：E） 填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：I） 填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：B） 填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：M） 填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：K） 解析：解析：本句为it is+a.+that…句型，故此空需填入形容词作表语。本句中it是形式主语，真正主语为“我们现有的不切实际的食品经济能持续那种需求”。上文提到食品需求可能会翻倍，因此能否持续那种需求是dou btful“值得怀疑的”。需求翻倍是种推测(could double)，用impossible过于绝对。 A. root B. control C. subjects D. however E. reality F. sharp G. intense H. measure I. express J. impulsive K. pessimistic L. by far M. lie N. for all O. tiny Some people are friendly drunks, whereas others are hostile, potentially posing a danger to themselves and others.

参考答案(1996) PART I WRITING SECTION A COMPOSITION The Main Difference Between My College Life and My Middle School Life As every college student would agree, life in college is different from that in middle school. In my opinion. the main difference lies in the fact that we enjoy more independence at college. As far as I'm concerned, I prefer the college life to the middle school life. For one thing, I live on my own：wash my own clothes, buy my own food, looking myself. I make my daily decisions of my own will. For another, I depend heavily on myself in my study. I have plenty of free time outside the classroom. In order to achieve academic success, I can derive as much from the teachers' lectures as from my own diligence. In the absence of pressure from both the college and the family, I must have a workable plan of my own. To sum up, I live a quite different life at college from that in my middle school in that I am much more responsible for my own life and study. To those newcomers, 1 would suggest they break away from their parents' tender care and stand on their own feet. 参考答案（1997） PART I WRITING SECTION A COMPOSITION More Pressure From Academic Studies Does No Good To Us Nowadays, we may often hear people around us complain that they are under great pressure in their daily life. It is true that no pressure, no motivation. But, how about much more pressure? Different people have different views of point. As for me, I firmly think too much pressure in essence prevents people from achieving academic accomplishment rather than do good to us. The causes are obvious. Firstly, in our opening society, people have to acquaint with a vast number of new things so as to obtain better lives, which request them transferring more times from academic studies to other fields, lessening their academic pressure. Secondly, more pressure from academic studies will make people produce mental problems such as stress and qualm, in the long run, which will make academic studies become impossible. Therefore in my opinion, those who would achieve academic accomplishment must not be given more pressure. It is a good academic air that does good to us. 参考答案（1998） PART I WRITING SECTION A COMPOSITION One Way to Solve the Problem We all know that vehicles are the major source of air pollution in cities. To solve the headache, people have taken a variety of steps, but the result is not satisfying. Here, one way to solve the problem is to set gas thriftier in vehicle.

The findings may shed new light on why human studies have previously 【C1】______fetal (胎儿的)alcohol exposure to increased alcohol 【C2】______ later in life, and to a lower age at which a person first starts drinking alcohol. Alcohol’s taste is a 【C3】______ of sweet and bitter components. To test whether prenatal (产前的)alcohol exposure could 【C4】______ the perception of these components, Steven Youngentob at the State University of New York in Syracuse and John Glendinning at Columbia University in New York 【C5】______ how eagerly rats consumed alcohol, sweet water or bitter water. They found that young rats whose mothers had consumed alcohol during pregnancy preferred alcohol and consumed more of the bitter water than the 【C6】______ of mothers that didn’t consume alcohol. Rats that had been exposed to alcohol before birth also seemed to be more 【C7】______ to the smell of alcohol. Prenatal exposure seems to reduce the 【C8】______ bitterness of alcohol, making it seem sweeter, says Youngentob. Both of these differences seemed to 【C9】______ once the rats reached adulthood—but only if they hadn’t tasted alcohol during their youth. If prenatally exposed rats did consume alcohol in their youth, these preferences seemed to become 【C10】______ for life. “The take-home message is to keep kids away from alcohol for as long as possible—particularly if they have had prenatal exposure,” says Youngentob. 1．【C1】 正确答案：H 解析：空格在why引导的宾语从句中，若have作实义动词，句意不通，故have在此为助动词，空格需填入过去分词。上一句提到“如果在出生前接触过酒精，可能会觉得酒要更香甜一些”，因此推断胎儿期接触酒精与成年后喝酒是“有一定关系的”。词库中的过去分词linked“联系”符合要求。知识模块：完形 2．【C2】
