For a pilot, the choice is very difficult. If he ejects, he is safe, but the plane crashes. If he stays in the plane, he risks his life. Recently, Chinese Air Force pilot Li Feng, 38, faced this choice during a training exercise. It was March 7 and he was flying a Jian-10 (Fighter-10) at 4,500 meters. A warning appeared on the plane’s puter screen. He realized the plane might fail at any moment. Li Feng did a quick check of the engine and asked the base if he could return. When the fighter was 7 km away from the airport, however, the engine stopped working. The plane began to fall at a speed of 25 meters a second at an altitude of 1,160 meters . Under Air Force rules, fighter pilots may eject if their aircraft loses engine power below 2,000 meters and cant be restarted. Before Li lost contact with the control tower, the mander in the air base asked him to eject. But Li Feng insisted on having another try. “I knew where the deadline (to give up the aircraft) was and was prepared for the ejection, but I decided not to give up unless the fighter was totally out of control,” Li recalled（回憶） during a recent television interview. After 104 seconds, Li was able to bring the fighter to a safe landing. The plane only suffered slight damage. “You are a hero! Congratulations!” Lis teacher, Xu Yongling wrote in a text message to him after the landing. He said Li was a cool-headed pilot and very professional(專業(yè)的). Lis brave and calm act not only saved the 200 million yuan aircraft but also gave him invaluable first-hand experience of dealing with an engine emergency(緊急情況). For his outstanding performance, the Air Force recently awarded him a gold medal. 67. When the engine stopped working, Li Feng .

But can GM technology solve world hunger problems? Even if it would，is it the best solution? Despite what it promises，GM technology actually has not increased the production potential(潛力)of any crop. In fact studies show that the most widely grown GM crop, GM soybeans, has suffered reduced productivity. For instance, a report that analysed nearly two decades of research on major GM food crops shows that GM engineering has failed to significantly increase US crop production. Something else, however, has been on the rise. While GM seeds are expensive, GM panies tell farmers that they will make good profits by saving money on pesticides(殺蟲劑). On the contrary, US government data show that GM crops in the US have produced an overall increase in pesticide use pared to traditional crops. “The promise was that you could use less chemicals and boost production. But neither is true，” said Bill Christison, President of the US National Family Farm Coalition. At the same time, the authors of the book World Hunger: Twelve Myths argue that there actually is more than enough food in the world and that the hunger crisis is not caused by production, but by problems in food distribution and politics. These indeed deserve our efforts and money. Meanwhile, the rise in food prices results from the increased use of crops for fuel rather than food, according to a xx World Bank report. As a matter of fact，scientists see better ways to feed the world. Another World Bank report concluded that GM crops have little to offer to the challenges of worldwide poverty and hunger, because better ways out are available, among which “green” farming is supposed to be the first choice. 主要講轉(zhuǎn)基因技術(shù)并不是解決世界饑餓問題最好的方式。 13．The author develops the second paragraph mainly________. A. by classification B. by parison C. by example D. by process 答案：C。寫作手法題中的段落行文題。根據(jù)第二段第三行的for instance(例如)可知，C項(xiàng)(by example通過舉例)正確，排除by classification“通過分類”/by parison“通過類比”/by process“根據(jù)事物發(fā)展流程”。 14．What does the underlined word “boost” in the third paragraph probably mean? A. Control. B. Evaluate. C. Obtain. D. Increase. 答案：D。詞義猜測(cè)題。 control控制；evaluate評(píng)估，評(píng)價(jià)；obtain獲得；increase增加，提高，根據(jù)前后文可知，boost在此相當(dāng)于increase(增加生產(chǎn)量)。 15．GM panies promise farmers that they will benefit from________. A. practising “green” farming B. use of less chemicals C. fair distribution of their crops D. using more crops for fuel 答案：B。事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。通過題干中promise和benefit from分別定位到文章第三段第二行和第四行引號(hào)部分就可選出答案。 16．Which of the following best describes the attitude of the author towards GM technology? A. Optimistic. B. Defensive. C. Disapproving. D. Casual. 答案：C。態(tài)度觀點(diǎn)題。通讀全文可知，本文主要講轉(zhuǎn)基因技術(shù)并不是解決世界饑餓問題最好的方式。A樂觀的；B保護(hù)的；C不贊成的；D隨便的，漫不經(jīng)心的。顯然C項(xiàng)是作者對(duì)于轉(zhuǎn)基因技術(shù)的態(tài)度。 閱讀理解。 閱讀理解。閱讀下列短文, 從給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng) (A、B、C和D) 中, 選出最佳選項(xiàng)。 George Prochnik would like the world to_put_a_sock_in_it. He makes his case in a new book, listening for Meaning in a World of Noise. Here he explains himself (using his indoor voice)： “Weve bee so accustomed to noise, theres almost a deep prejudice against the idea that silence might be beneficial. If you tell someone to be quiet, you sound like an old man. But its never been more important to find continuing quiet. Silence focuses us, improves our health, and is a key to lasting peace and satisfaction.” “We need to excite people about the sounds you start to hear if you merely quiet things down a little. During a Japanese tea ceremony, the smallest sounds bees a kind of art—the spoons making a light ringing sound on a bowl, the edges of a kimono (和服)brushing against the floor.” “Deaf people are very attentive(專注的)in almost every aspect of life. If two deaf people are walking together, using sign language，they constantly watch out for each other and protect each other by paying steady attention to the other. They are connected yet also fully aware of their surroundings. Even deaf teenagers! We in the hearing world can learn from them. If we remove the powerful blasts(一陣陣)of noise, we bee aware of an extraordinarily rich world around us—of little soft and the sound of footsteps, of bird songs and ice cracking(開裂聲). Its astonishing how beautiful things sound when you can really listen. ” 我們生活在一個(gè)充滿噪音的世界里，并且習(xí)以為常。但讓我們安靜下來傾聽吧，我們會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)世界是更加美好的，這對(duì)我們是有益的。 17. What does the phrase “to put a sock in it” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. To be quiet. B. To be colorful. C. To be full of love. D. To be attentive to someone. 答案：A。詞義猜測(cè)題。由下文內(nèi)容可知，George Prochnik認(rèn)為人們習(xí)慣了周圍噪音的存在，但卻沒有意識(shí)到安靜的環(huán)境對(duì)人們是有益的，故畫線部分點(diǎn)出了他的觀點(diǎn)，即希望世界是安靜的。 18. What does Prochnik say about us? A. We are used to quietnesss. B. We have to put up with noise. C. We do not think silence to be beneficial. D. We do not believe lasting peace to be available. 答案：C。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段第一句話可知，我們習(xí)慣了噪音的存在，因而對(duì)安靜對(duì)人們有益這一說法有很深的偏見，故C項(xiàng)正確。 19. Which of the following is TRUE according to Prochnik? A. We need more sounds in our lives. B. There is nothing to be learned from the deaf. C. We are not aware how rich the world around us is. D. There is too much noise at a Japanese tea ceremony. 答案：C。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段內(nèi)容可知，聾啞人能專注于周圍的環(huán)境，這一點(diǎn)是我們有聽力的人應(yīng)該向他們學(xué)習(xí)的，因此，如果我們能擺脫周圍的噪音的話，我們就會(huì)意識(shí)到周圍的世界是多么的豐富多彩。 20. It can be inferred from the text that ________. A. we can benefit a lot from old people B. it is a good idea to use sign language C. there is no escape from the world of sound D. it is possible to find how beautiful things sound 答案：D。推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一句Its astonishing how beautiful things sound when you can really listen.可知，當(dāng)我們能真正聆聽大自然的各種聲音的時(shí)候，我們就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)周圍的世界是美好的。
