Mother‘s (rather than father‘s) own educational achievements have long been thought to be the key to children‘s progress at school. But government-funded research suggests that mothers can compensate for their lack of exam success if they offer their under-fives activities linked to literacy and numeracy.Researchers from Oxford, Cardiff and London universities, who measured the attainments of65316426.doc 2more than 2,000 children at the ages of three and five, found that their mothers‘education is important in accounting for differences between children. But what the mother did with the child was even more important. Those who talked frequently to their children, who played games with numbers and letters, read to them, took them to the library and taught them songs and nursery rhymes had a significant effect on their attainment both at the ages of three and five. Professor Pam Sammons of London University‘s Institute of Education, said, ―Children‘s progress is not completely determined by social disadvantages. What parents do with children is critically important. Parents who have no educational qualifications can still do many things to help their children. We need to encourage parents, particularly younger ones, to play with children and to talk to them.Sammons said the findings emphasized the importance of policies for supporting families of under-threes, for example, the government‘s Sure Start program. MPs on the Select Committee for Education are investigating early years education. Ministers have provided a nursery, playgroup or school place for every four-year-old, but critics say that too many children are now in school reception classes, which are not equipped for them. There are more staff workers for each child in nurseries than in reception classes. The researchers, comparing children‘s achievements in math and literacy, found that playgroups and private day nurseries tended to do much less well than nursery schools, which combined education, day care and reception classes.This research is consistent with previous studies that show the benefit of mother play in other areas such as in a child‘s creativity and social development using other devices such as music and toys. Music helps children connect the outer world of movement and sound with the inner world of feelings and observations. Children learn music the same way they learn language – by listening and imitating. Finger play promotes language development, motor skills and coordination, as well as self-esteem. Young children are proud when they sing a song and can do the accompanying finger movements. Listening to music also teaches important pre-reading skills. As youngsters use small drums or other percussion instruments (homemade or store-bought), they can play the rhythmic pattern of words.Babies become social beings through watching their parents, and through interacting with them and the rest of the family and later with others. It is a crucial time to begin teaching by example how people should behave toward one another. Toys that help babies with social development are stuffed animals, animal mobiles and dolls. Even very small babies can socialize with them. The infant will often converse with animal prancing on the crib bumpers or revolving on a mobile. Later, books and opportunities for make-believe and dress-up play also help children to develop social skills.In the beginning, babies‘ hand movements are totally random. But within a few months those tiny hands will move with more purpose and control. A mother has a particularly important role in the development of purposeful movement by giving her baby‘s hands plenty freedom; rather than keeping them swaddled or tucked under a blanket (except outdoor in cold weather). Researchers suggest providing a variety of objects that are easy for small hands to pick up and manipulate, and that don‘t require fine dexterity. And since young babies usually won‘t grasp objects that are directly in front of them, a mother should offer these objects from the side.Researchers suggest that mother give babies ample opportunity for ―hands-on‖ experience with the following:Rattles that fit small hands comfortably. Those with two handles or grasping surfaces allow a baby to pass them from hand to hand, an important skill, and those that baby can put their mouth on will help bring relief when teething begins.65316426.doc 3They also suggest mothers use cradle gyms (they fit across a carriage, playpen or crib) that have a variety of parts for baby to grab hold of, spin, pull and poke. Beware of those, however, with strings more than six inches long, and take any gym down once your baby is able to sit up.Another useful play device is an activity board that requires a wide range of hand movements to operate, many of which your baby won‘t be able to intentionally maneuver for a while, but some of which even a young infant can set in motion accidentally with a swipe of a hand or foot. Besides the spinning, dialing, pushing, and pressing skills these toys encourage, they also teach the concept of cause and effect.1.Mothers, either well-educated or badly-educated, can help their young children succeedacademically.2.Young babies at all ages benefit from mothers who talk and play games with them.3.Even if a mother has no educational qualifications, she should play and talk with her child.4.There is no shortage of nurseries, playgroup or school places.5.Listening to music can teach children important pre-reading skills.6.Babies can move their tiny hands within a few months after they are born.7.If you give an object to a baby you‘d better not offer it from the side of the baby.1.〔Y〕〔N〕〔NG〕2.〔Y〕〔N〕〔NG〕3. 〔Y〕〔N〕〔NG〕4.〔Y〕〔N〕〔NG〕5.〔Y〕〔N〕〔NG〕6. 〔Y〕〔N〕〔NG〕7.〔Y〕〔N〕〔NG〕8.

You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Questions 47 to 56 are based on the following passage.A new study says walking is just as (47) as more difficult exercise in reducing the risk of heart disease in women. It suggests that even (48) amounts of exercise can be good for women‘s health. Federal researchers in the United States (49) the study. The research is part of the federal government‘s Women‘s Health Initiative. Researchers are studying many health questions important to older women.The researchers (50) almost 74,000 women during a six-year period. The women were between the ages of 50 and 79. They answered questions about their activity (51) . The researchers divided the women into five groups, from the (52) activity to the most activity.The study found that fast walking for about two-and-one-half hours a week cut the risk of heart disease (53) one-third. This good effect was about the same in women who spent an (54) amount of time doing more difficult exercise. The good effects (55) as the women spent more time and energy taking part in such exercises.The study also found that sitting in a chair for at least sixteen hours each day could increase the risk of heart disease (56) a person exercised or not. The results were published in the New England Journal of Medicine.Section BDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D).You should decide on the best choic.Passage OneQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.The human brain has two sides, and each side has different work to do.The left side of the brain controls language and number; it analyses and reasons. The right side65316426.doc 8controls our imagination; it controls our appreciation of music and our sense of rhythm. It is the right side of our brain which daydreams.Great artists and great scientists are similar. They both use the two sides of their brains. It is well-known that Albert Einstein (1879 –1955), as a great scientist, also enjoyed art, playing the violin and sailing. Einstein said his scientific discoveries grew from his imagination rather than from analysis, reason and language. He said that written and spoken words were not important in his thinking. The story goes that Einstein was daydreaming one summer‘s day while sitting on a hill. He imagined he was riding on sunbeams to the far distance of the universe. Then he found that he had returned to the sun. So he realized that the universe must curve. He got this idea by using his imagination. He then used the left side of brain to apply analysis, number and reason. And finally he used language to explain it.Traditional, established education in schools encourages us to use the left side of our brains. Language, number, analysis and reason are given more importance in our schools than imagination and daydreaming. However, we are encouraged to hop when we have two perfectly good legs! Then why don‘t we give more value to visual thinking?In fact, we all need both sides of our brains. We need to use our imaginations to think of solutions to problems and to enjoy emotional and artistic experiences. And we need to be logical and to be able to analyze and organize in order to survive day by day.57. According to the passage, the left side of the brain ________.A) controls language and numberB) controls our imaginationC) daydreamsD) controls our sense of rhythm58. What does the author want to show by using the example of Einstein?A) Great scientists are also great artists.B) The left side of Einstein‘s brain is very powerful.C) Einstein is a genius whose two sides of the brain are strong.D) The two sides of the brain are equally important.59. What do we learn about Einstein from the passage?A) He could play the violin well.B) He said his scientific discoveries are acquired by analysis rather than by daydreaming.C) He was the first person to discover the track of the sun.D) He was disgusted at language.60. What does the author mean by saying ―we are encouraged to hop when we have two perfectlygood legs‖ (Para. 4) ?A)We needn‘t hop because we are healthy.B)Only those who have something wrong in their legs can be encouraged to hop.C)It‘s foolish of us to hop when we have two perfectly good legs.D)We should use both sides of the brain.61. The author believes that the right side of our brain is as important as the left side because65316426.doc 9________.A) it controls our appreciation of music and sense of rhythmB) it enables us to make scientific discoveriesC) it is more important to analyze and organize in order to surviveD) the imaginations may provide solutions to problems and enable us to enjoy emotional andartistic experiencesPassage TwoQuestion 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.Elderly people respond best to a calm and unhurried environment. This is not always easy to provide as their behavior can sometimes be irritating. If they get excited or upset then they may become more difficult to look after. Although sometimes it can be extremely difficult, it is best to be patient and not to get upset yourself. You should always encourage old people to do as much as possible for themselves but be ready to lend a helping hand when necessary.Failing memory makes it difficult for the person to recall all the basic kinds of information we take for granted. The obvious way to help in this situation is to supply the information that is missing and help them make sense of what is going on. You must use every opportunity to provide information but remember to keep it simple and straightforward.―Good morning, Mum. This is Fiona, your daughter. It is eight o‘clock, so if you get up now, we can have breakfast downstairs.‖When the elderly person makes confused statements e.g. about going out to his or her old employment or visiting a dead relative, correct in a calm matter-of-fact fashion: ―You don‘t work in the office any more. You are retired now. Will you come and help me with the dishes?‖We rely heavily on the information provided by signposts, clocks, calendars and newspapers. These assist us to organize and direct our behavior. Confused old people need these aids all the time to compensate for their poor memory. Encourage them to use reminder boards or diaries for important coming events and label the contents of different cupboards and drawers. Many other aids such as information cards, old photos, scrap books, and addresses or shopping list could help in individual case.62. Why can‘t we always keep calm in front of old people?A)Because old people sometimes annoy us.B)Because old people sometimes don‘t understand us.C)Because we are sometimes in a bad mood.D)Because we are sometimes in a hurry.63. What happens to elderly people‘s memory according to the passage?A)Their memory becomes worse and recalls basic things as granted.B)Their memory becomes worse and can‘t remember basic things.C)They can‘t remember their failures.D)They can only remember past failures.64. Paragraph 3 gives an example illustrating ________.65316426.doc10A)how to provide simple, direct informationB) a daughter‘s care for her motherC) a daughter‘s duty to her motherD)the right procedure of helping the old65. Why are old people encouraged to use diaries?A)Because diaries can replace reminder boarders.B)Because diaries are the best way to record important events.C)Because diaries help make up for poor memory.D)Because diaries can label the contents of cupboards.66. What is the main idea of the passage?A)What happens to old people with failing memory.B)How to help old people with failing memory.C)Why old people have poor memory.D)How to improve bad memory.Part V Cloze (15 minutes)Directions:There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

In fact, the Internet is becoming a dominant element in modern life.The advantages of the Internet are very prominent. First, it can transmit information with surprising speed, and thus distances have been shortened. Second, with the Internet, life has become clearer. On-line chatting and various kinds of news give us access to knowledge from every corner of the world. Third, the Internet has completely changed people‘s mode of living. For example, on-line shopping, both convenient and cheap, is becoming more and more popular.However, the Internet has also brought some problems. First, its surprising speed can promote the spread of viruses as well. And virtual space has also provided opportunities for criminal activities. Third, many young people spend time on the Internet which should be devoted to homework.Overall, just as a coin has two sides, the Internet has both good and bad influences. Used wisely, the Internet will contribute to a brilliant future for us.Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)1.Y2. NG3. Y4. N5. Y6. NG7.

Part III Reading Comprehension(40 minutes)Section ADirections: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the p assage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Questions 26 to 35 are based on the following passage.It was perhaps when my parents —who also happen to be my housemates —left to go travelling for a couple of months recently that it 26 on me why I had not yet left the family home.It wasn't that I relied on them for 27 reasons, or to keep my life in order, or to ease the chaos of the home.

So, what does this say for our relationships within the family home?According to psychologist Sabina Read, there are “some very positive possible 32 when adult children share the family home”, noting the “parent-child relationship may indeed strengthen and mature”in the process.But, she notes, a strong 33 doesn't simply come with time. “The many changing factors of the relationship need to be acknowledged, rather than hoping that the mere passage of time will 34 connect parents to their adult children. It's important to acknowledge that the relationship parameters have changed to avoid falling back into 35 from the teen years.Section BDirections I:n t his section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to i t. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.How Telemedicine Is Transforming HealthcareA)After years of big promises, telemedicine is finally living up to its potential. Driven by faster internet connections, ubiquitous(无处不在的) smartphones and changing insurance standards, more health providers are turning to electronic communications to do their jobs—and it's dramatically changing the delivery of healthcare.B)Doctors are linking up with patients by phone, email and webcam( 网络摄像头) . They’re also consulting with each other electronically—sometimes to make split second decisions on heart attacks and strokes. Patients, meanwhile, a re using new d evices t o r elay t heir b lood p ressure, heart r ate a nd o ther v ital s igns t o t heir doctors s o they can manage chronic conditions at home. Telemedicine also allows for better care in places where medical expertise is hard to come by. Five to 10 times a day, Doctors Without Borders relays questions about tough cases from i ts p hysicians i n N iger, S outh S udan a nd e lsewhere t o i ts n etwork o f 280 e xperts a round t he w orld, a nd b ack again via internet.C)As a measure of how rapidly telemedicine is spreading, consider: More than 15 million Americans received some kind of medical care remotely last year, according to the American Telemedicine Association, a trade group, which expects those numbers to grow by 30% this year.D)None of this is to say that telemedicine has found its way into all comers of medicine. A recent survey of 500 tech-savvy(精通技术的) consumers found that 39% hadn ’t heard of telemedicine, and of those who haven ’t used it, 42% said they preferred in-person doctor visits. In a poll of 1500 family physicians, only 15% had used it in their practices—but 90% said they would if it were appropriately reimbursed(补偿) .E)What's more, for all the rapid growth, significant questions and challenges remain. Rules defining and regulating telemedicine differ widely from state to state. Physicians groups are issuing different guidelines about what care they consider appropriate to deliver and in what form.F)Some critics also question whether the quality of care is keeping up with the rapid expansion of telemedicine. And there's the question of what services physicians should be paid for: Insurance coverage varies from health plan to health plan, and a big federal plan covers only a narrow range of services. Telemedicine's future will depend on how —and whether—regulators, providers, payers and patients can address these challenges. Here's a closer look at some of these issues:G)Do patients trade quality for convenience? The fastest-growing services in telemedicine connect consumers with clinicians they've never met for a phone, video or email visit—on-demand, 24/7. Typically, these are for nonemergency issues such as colds, flu, ear-aches and skin rashes, and they cost around $45, compared with approximately $100 at a doctor's office, $160 at an urgent-care clinic or $750 and up at an emergency room.H)Many health plans and employers have rushed to offer the services and promote them as a convenient way for plan members to get medical care without leaving home or work. Nearly three-quarters of large employers will offer virtual doctor visits as a benefit to employees this year, up from 48% last year. Web companies such as Tel a doc and American Well are expected to host some 1.2 million such virtual doctor visits this year, up 20% from last year, according to the American Telemedicine Association.I)But critics worry that such services maybe sacrificing quality for convenience. Consulting a random doctor patients will never meet, they say, further fragments the health-care system, and even minor issues such as upper respiratory(上呼吸道的) infections can ’t be thoroughly evaluated by a doctor who can ’t listen to your heart or feel your swollen glands. In a recent study, researchers posing as patients with skin problems sought help from 16 telemedicine sites—with unsettling results. In 62 encounters, fewer than one-third disclosed clinicians' credential or let patients choose; only 32% discussed potential side effects of prescribed medications. Several sites misdiagnosed serious conditions, largely because they failed to ask basic follow-up questions, the researchers said. “Telemedicine h olds e normous p romise, b ut t hese s ites a re j ust n ot r eady f or p rime t ime,” says J ack R es n eck, t hestudy's lead author.J)T he American Telemedicine Association and other organizations have started accreditation( 鉴定) programs to identify top-quality telemedicine sites. The American Medical Association this month approved new ethical guidelines for telemedicine, calling for participating doctors to recognize the limitations of such services and ensure that they have sufficient information to make clinical recommendations.K)Who pays for the services? While employers and health plans have been eager to cover virtual urgent-care visits, insurers have been far less willing to pay for telemedicine when doctors use phone, email or video to consult with existing patients about continuing issues. “It's very hard to get paid unless you physically see the patient,”s ays P eter R asmussen, m edical d irector o f d istance h ealth a t t he C leveland C linic. S ome 32 s tates h ave passed “parity”(等同的) laws requiring private insurers to reimburse doctors for services delivered remotely if the same service would be covered in person, though not necessarily at the same rate or frequency. Medicare lags further behind. The federal health plan for the elderly covers a small number of telemedicine services —only for beneficiaries in rural areas and only when the services are received in a hospital, doctor's office or clinic.L)Bills to expand Medicare coverage of telemedicine have bipartisan( 两党的) support i n C ongress. O pponents worry that such expansion would be costly for taxpayers, but advocates say it would save money in the long run.M)Experts say more hospitals are likely to invest in telemedicine systems as they move away from fee-for-service payments and into managed-care-type contracts that give them a set fee to provide care for patients and allow them to keep any savings they achieve.N)Is the state-by-state regulatory system outdated? Historically, regulation of medicine has been left to individual states. But some industry members contend that having 50 different sets of rules, licensing fees and even definitions of “medical practice" makes less sense in the era of telemedicine and is hampering its growth. Currently, doctors must have a valid license in the state where the patient is located to provide medical care, which means virtual-visit companies can match users only with locally licensed clinicians. It also causes administrative hassles(麻烦) for world-class medical centers that attract patients from across the country. At the Mayo Clinic, doctors who treat out-of-state patients can follow up with them via phone, email or web chats when they return home, but they can only discuss the conditions they treated in person. “If the patient wants to talk about a new problem, the doctor has to be licensed in that state to discuss it. If not, the patient should talk to his primary-care physician about it,” says Steve Ommen, who runs Mayo's Connected Care program.O)To date, 17 states have joined a compact that will allow a doctor licensed in one member state to quickly obtain a license in another. While welcoming the move, some telemedicine advocates would prefer states to automatically honor one another's licenses, as they do with drivers' licenses. But states aren ’t likely to surrender control of medical practice, and most are considering new regulations. This year, more than 200 telemedicine-related bills have been introduced in 42 states, many regarding what services Medicaid will coverand whether payers should reimburse for remote patient monitoring. “A lot of states are still trying to define telemedicine,”says Lisa Robbin, chief advocacy officer for the Federation of State Medical Boards.36.An overwhelming majority of family physicians are willing to use telemedicine if they are duly paid.37.Many employers are eager to provide telemedicine service as a benefit to their employees because of its convenience.38.Different states have markedly different regulations for telemedicine.39.With t elemedicine, p atients i n r egions s hort o f p rofessional medical s ervice a re a ble t o r eceive b etter medical care.40.Unlike e mployers and health p lans, i nsurers h ave b een rather r eluctant t o pay for s ome t elemedicine s ervices.41.Some supporters of telemedicine hope states will accept each other's medical practice licenses as valid.42.The fastest growing area for telemedicine services is for lesser health problems.43.As telemedicine spreads quickly, some of its opponents doubt whether its service quality can be guaranteed.44.The results obtained by researchers who pretended to be patients seeking help from telemedicine providers are disturbing.45.Some people argue that the fact that different states have different regulations concerning medical services hinders the development of telemedicine.Section CDirections:T here are2passages in this section.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.Danielle S teel, t he 71-year-old r omance n ovelist i s n otoriously p roductive, h aving p ublished 179 b ooks a t a rate of up to seven a year. But a passing reference in a recent profile by Glamour magazine to her 20-hour workdays prompted an outpouring of admiration.Steel has given t hat 20-hour figure when describing her “exhausting” process in the past: “I start the bookand don't leave my desk until the first draft is finished. ”She goes from bed, to desk, to bath, to bed, avoiding all contact aside from phone calls with her nine children. “I don't comb my hair for weeks,”she says. Meals are brought to her desk, where she types until her fingers swell and her nails bleed.The business news website Quartz held Steel up as an inspiration, writing that if only we all followed her “actually extremely liberating” example of industrious sleeplessness, we would be quick to see results.Well, indeed. With research results showing the cumulative effects of sleep loss and its impact on productivity, doubt has been voiced about the accuracy of Steel ’s self-assessment. Her output maybe undeniable, but sceptics have suggested that she is guilty of erasing the role of ghost writers(代笔人) at worst, gross exaggeration at best.Steel says working 20 hours a day is “pretty brutal physically.”But is it even possible? “No,”says Maryanne Taylor of the Sleep Works. While you could work that long, the impact on productivity would make it hardly worthwhile. If Steel was routinely sleeping for four hours a night, she would be drastically underestimating the negative impact, says Alison Gardiner, founder of the sleep improvement programme Sleep station. “It’s akin to being drunk.”It’s possible that Steel is exaggerating the demands of her schedule. Self-imposed sleeplessness has “become a bit of a status symbol”, says Taylor, a misguided measure to prove how powerful and productive you are. Margaret Thatcher was also said to get by on four hours a night, while the 130-hour workweeks endured by tech heads has been held up as key to their success.That i s s tarting t o change with i ncreased awareness o f t he i mportance o f s leep f or mental health. “People a re starting t o r ealise t hat s leep s hould n ot b e s omething t hat y ou f it i n b etween e verything e lse,” says T aylor.But it is possible—if statistically extremely unlikely—that Steel could be born a “short sleeper”with an unusual body clock, says sleep expert Dr. Sophie Bostock. “It’s probably present in fewer than 1% of the population.”Even if Steel does happen to be among that tiny minority, says Bostock, it's “pretty irresponsible”to s uggest that 20-hour days are simply a question of discipline for the rest of us.46.What do we learn from the passage about Glamour magazine readers?A)They are intrigued by the exotic romance in Danielle Steel's novels.B)They are amazed by the number of books written by Danielle Steel.C)They a re deeply impressed by Danielle Steel's daily work schedule.D)They are highly motivated by Danielle Steel’s unusual productivity.47.What did the business news website Quartz say about Danielle Steel?A)She could serve as an example of industriousness.B)She proved we could liberate ourselves from sleep.C)She could be an inspiration to novelists all over the world.D)She showed we could get all our work done without sleep.48.What do sceptics think of Danielle Steel's work schedule claims?A)They are questionable.B)They are alterable.C)They are irresistible.D)They are verifiable.49.What does Maryanne Taylor think of self-imposed sleeplessness?A)It may turn out to be key to a successful career.B)It may be practiced only by certain tech heads.C)It may symbolise one's importance and success.D)It may well serve as a measure of self-discipline.50.How does Dr. Sophie Bostock look at the 20-hour daily work schedule?A)One should not adopt it without consulting a sleep expert.B)The general public should not be encouraged to follow it.C)One must be duly self-disciplined to adhere to it.D)The majority must adjust their body clock for it.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.Organic agriculture is a relatively untapped resource for feeding the Earth's population, especially in the face of climate change and other global challenges. That's the conclusion I reached in reviewing 40 years of science comparing the long-term prospects of organic and conventional farming.The review study, “Organic Agriculture in the 21st Century, ”is featured as the cover story for the February issue o f the j ournal Nature P lants. It i s the first t o compare o rganic and conventional agriculture across the main goals of sustainability identified by the National Academy of Sciences: productivity, economics, and environment.Critics have long argued that organic agriculture is inefficient, requiring more land to yield the same amount of food. It's true that organic farming produces lower yields, averaging 10 to 20 percent less than conventional. Advocates contend that the environmental advantages of organic agriculture far outweigh the lower yields, and that increasing research and breeding resources for organic systems would reduce the yield gap. Sometimes excluded from these arguments is the fact that we already produce enough food to more than feed the world's 7.4 billion people but do not provide adequate access to all individuals.In some cases, organic yields can be higher than conventional. For example, in severe drought conditions, which are expected to increase with climate change in many areas, organic farms can produce as good, if not better, yields because of the higher water-holding capacity of organically farmed soils.What science does tell us is that mainstream conventional farming systems have provided growing supplies of food and other products but often at the expense of other sustainability goals.Conventional agriculture may produce more food, but it often comes at a cost to the environment. Biodiversity loss, environmental degradation, and severe impacts on ecosystem services have not onlyaccompanied conventional farming systems but have often extended well beyond their field boundaries. With organic agriculture, environmental costs tend to be lower and the benefits greater.Overall, organic farms tend to store more soil carbon, have better soil quality, and reduce soil erosion compared to their conventional counterparts. Organic agriculture also creates less soil and water pollution and lower greenhouse gas emissions.And it’s more energy-efficient because it doesn't rely on synthetic fertilizers or pesticides.Organic agriculture is also associated with greater biodiversity of plants, animals, insects and microorganisms as well as genetic diversity. Biodiversity increases the services that nature provides and improves the ability of farming systems to adapt to changing conditions.Despite l ower yields, o rganic a griculture i s more p rofitable f or f armers b ecause consumers are w illing t o p ay more. Higher prices, called price premiums, can be justified as a way to compensate farmers for providing ecosystem services and avoiding environmental damage or external costs.51.What do we learn from the conclusion of the author's review study?A)More resources should be tapped for feeding the world's population.B)Organic farming may be exploited to solve the global food problem.C)The long-term prospects of organic farming are yet to be explored.D)Organic farming is at least as promising as conventional farming.52.What is the critics' argument against organic farming?A)It cannot meet the need for food.B)It cannot increase farm yields.C)It is not really p ractical.D)It is not that productive.53.What does the author think should be taken into account in arguing about organic farming?A)Growth in world population.B)Deterioration in soil fertility.C)Inequality in food distribution.D)Advance in farming technology.54.What does science tell us about conventional farming?A)It will not be able to meet global food demand.B)It is not conducive to sustainable development.C)It will eventually give away to organic farming.D)It is going mainstream throughout the world.55.Why does the author think higher prices of organic farm produce are justifiable?A)They give farmers going organic a big competitive edge.B)They motivate farmers to upgrade farming technology.C)Organic farming costs more than conventional farming.D)Organic farming does long-term good to the ecosystem.Part IV Translation (30 minutes)Directions F:or this part,you are allowed30minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.You should write your answer on Answer Sheet 2.《水浒传》（Water Margin）是中国文学四大经典小说之一。
