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.
47、根據(jù)以下內(nèi)容回答47-56題 Protecting Student Privacy in the Data Age A． In Kentucky, parents, educators and policy makers can track how many students from a high school go to college, and once they are there, how many require remedial classes (補(bǔ)習(xí)班) ． Massachusetts is one of several states with an early warning indicator system, which notifies school officials when students appear to be at risk for dropping out of high school． And in Georgia, teachers can easily access years of test scores, class, grades and attendance rates for any student． B． Student data advocates argue that used correctly data， including student attendance, test scores and demographics (人口統(tǒng)計(jì)) , can enrich education． Teachers can better personalize instruction for students, principals can view the academic records of students who move across school districts and parents can determine whether a child is on track for college, to name just a few examples． C． But that promise comes with threats to students" privacy． Parents have expressed concerns that if teachers have easy access to students' entire academic histories, they might write off those with poor records, or that student information might fall into the hands of sexual predators (侵害者) ． Those concerns have led to heated debates about how much data schools should be collecting, how it should be stored and who should have access to it． D． Over the past year, the Common Core State Standards have also triggered discussions about student data, although the standards do not call for the federal government to collect data． "There's no denying that education technology has the potential to transform learning if it's used wisely," said Joni Lupovitz, vice president of policy at Common Sense Media, which this fall launched a campaign to raise awareness about student privacy issues． "What we're working to ensure is that as educators, parents and student embrace more and more education technology, (and)balance the equation by focusing on student privacy to help ensure that we're creating an atmosphere where kids can learn and be engaged and thrive without putting their personal information at risk．" Relying on a 1970s Law E． Until recently, most states weighing privacy questions relied on the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) , a 1974 law intended to protect student education records, But in recent years, the U．S． Department of Education has made regulatory changes to the law, creating many exceptions． For example, education records now may be shared with outside contractors, such as private companies that track grades or attendance on behalf of school systems． The changes have prompted some states to examine whether they should play a stronger role in protecting student data． F． Paige Kowalski, director of state policy and advocacy for the Data Quality Campaign, a nonprofit that advocates for the effective use of data to improve student achievement, said states are starting to realize they need more sophisticated and comprehensive policies, regulations and practices around student privacy, and that they can't just rely on FERPA． G． "All states have privacy laws on the books, but a lot of them are old," Kowalski said． "A lot of them just don't have modern policies that were written acknowledging that data is even at the state level, let alone stored electronically and because of technology is able to move．" Kowalski added that states' privacy policies might refer to outdated information practices, such as checking out paper documents, while failing to discuss modern needs like encryption (加密)． H． Most school districts rely on cloud computing--meaning data are stored on servers that can be accessed through the Internet--for everything from cafeteria payments to attendance records． But a recent study by the Center on Law and Information Policy at Fordham Law School concluded that most cloud-based services are "poorly understood, nontransparent and weakly governed" by schools． Most school districts fail to inform parents that they are using cloud-based services, and many contracts with web-based vendors (供應(yīng)商) fail to address privacy issues, the study found． Keeping Parents in the Dark I． The Electronic Privacy Information Center, a nonprofit research group in Washington, D．C．, filed a lawsuit in February 2012 against the U．S． Department of Education challenging its FERPA changes, but a federal court dismissed the lawsuit for lack of standing． J． Khaliah Barnes, the center's administrative law counsel, said many schools and states are doing a poor job of informing parents of the issues that can arise with technology． She said school districts should tell parents about the kinds of information they collect, to whom that information is disclosed and for what purposes． Parents should also have the right to opt out of disclosing certain types of information, she said, and should be informed how to access and change incorrect information． K． Barnes said schools are using new technology to collect information that goes far beyond attendance records and test scores． Schools have used palm scanners to help students speed through cafeteria lines, and GPS or microchip (微芯片) technology to tell schools when students get on the right school buses or arrive at school, for example． L． One state leading the conversation on student data privacy is Oklahoma, which in June adopted the Student Data Accessibility, Transparency and Accountability Act establishing rules for the collection and transfer of student data by the state． "It was designed as a system of safeguards to protect student privacy," said state representative David Brumbaugh, a Republican, who sponsored the legislation． "It stops the release of confidential (機(jī)密的)data to organizations outside of Oklahoma without written consent of parents or guardians．" M． The law prohibits the state from releasing any student-level data without state approval, which means the education department can release only data that is aggregated and cannot be tied to any individual student． "To my knowledge, we're the only state that doesn't release student-level data," said Kim Richey, general counsel for the Oklahoma Department of Education． N． Brumbaugh said he's heard from lawmakers around the country interested in proposing similar legislation for their states． The conservative American Legislative Exchange Council has also proposed model legislation similar to the Oklahoma bill． O． Other states also have taken action on student data privacy this year: In New York, where a handful of bills related to student data privacy have been introduced in the legislature, the Senate Education Committee held a series of public hearings (聽證會(huì)) on topics including student privacy around a planned data collection system． Last week, state senator John Flanagan called" for a one-year delay in the launch of the data collection system． The Long Island Republican urged lawmakers to strengthen protections for data on the statewide data portal (門戶網(wǎng)站) and set civil and criminal penalties for violations． Georgia Governor Nathan Deal, a Republican, signed an executive order in May prohibiting the state from collecting or sharing personally identifiable data on students and prohibiting student data from being collected for the development of commercial products or services． In October, the Alabama State Board of Education adopted a new policy on student data that allows the state to share student data with the federal government only in aggregate． The policy also calls on school districts to adopt their own policies on the collection and sharing of student data． Republican Gov． Terry Branstad of Iowa signed an executive order in October reaffirming that student data should be collected in accordance with state and federal privacy laws and that only aggregate student data would be provided to the federal government．
A study indicated that the way schools handle cloud-based services is quite unsatisfactory．
48、 The changes made to FERPA suggest that now student data may be exposed to a wider circle．
49、 Some states follow Oklahoma and have taken some measures to deal with student data privacy．
50、 Some states' laws or policies on privacy are based on past practices and thus can't meet the present situations．
51、 New technology enables schools to expand the scope of information they collect．
52、 Now states become aware that FERPA alone cannot be effective in protecting student data．
53、 Oklahoma's bill on student data privacy has made a nationwide impact．
54、 Parents worry that certain information may be at risk of being altered or deleted by those who can access student data．
55、 Parents should have the right to know more and make decisions about the collection and use of student data．
56、 The proper use of student data can improve the teaching since teachers can learn more about individual differences between students． Section C Directions: 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 choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.
57、Questions57-66are based on the ．following passage． A recent study discovered that after surviving a heart attack, women have a slightly higher risk than men of dying in the next 30 days． The finding, researchers say, likely reflects the differences in the type of heart failure women experience, as well as the severity of the condition． (When the severity of the heart attack was taken into consideration, the mortality rates were more comparable between men and women)． The study examined medical records for more than 136,000 patients who had suffered from acute coronary syndromes (ACS急性冠狀動(dòng)脈綜合癥) ． They found that, in the month after first suffering ACS, the mortality rate among men was 5．3%, compared with 9．6% in women． Under the umbrella term ACS there are multiple conditions--including heart attack caused by either completely or partially blocked blood supply, and what doctors refer to as "unstable angina (心絞痛) ," or when slowly decreasing blood and oxygen supply causes tightness in the chest, often a precursor (前兆) to the more severe types of heart attack． In this study, a heart attack caused by completely or nearly completely blocked blood supply was more likely to result in death after 30 days for women, compared with men． But for slightly less severe incidents, in which blood flow was partially or temporarily blocked, or in cases of unstable angina, women had lower mortality rates in the following 30 days than men did． The differences, which incorporate both sex and type of ACS, suggest to researchers that physicians should take gender into consideration when assessing patients, and deciding on the best course of treatment or prevention． Women, who in the study tended to be older than men when they suffered heart attack, were also more likely to have concurrent complications (并發(fā)癥) such as diabetes (糖尿病) or hypertension (高血壓) ． And whereas men were more likely to have narrowed coronary arteries (冠狀動(dòng)脈）, which was less frequently the case among women． After a more severe incident, the fact that women had a greater risk for death suggested to doctors that it might be due to the subsequent reduction in blood flow． On the other hand, that they got along better than men after the less severe forms of ACS--partial blockage or unstable angina--was likely a result of the generally less severe blockages seen in women, as compared to men． Heart disease is the leading cause of death among both men and women, and though, overall women's health outcomes continue to be slightly worse than men's, they are improving． And, researchers hope, with more studies illuminating the way in which heart disease uniquely impacts women and men, new gender- specific treatment methods may be the way of the future．
What does the study indicate about acute coronary syndromes (ACS) ? A．It can have different impact on women and men． B．It can be regarded as the leading cause of death among these patients． C．It can lead to more severe types of heart attack． D．It can cause more deaths among men in the next 30 days．
58、 According to the study, more women's deaths are likely to occur in a month when the heart attack is caused by A．temporary blockage B．tightness in the chest C．unstable angina D．complete blockage
59、 Among these ACS patients, women were more likely to A．have more severe forms of ACS B．be younger than men C．have other diseases D．have narrowed coronary arteries
60、 What is the possible reason for women's lower death risk in case of less severe ACS? A．The blood supply decreased subsequently． B．They usually had less severe blockages than men． C．New treatment methods were adopted. D．They are less likely to have diabetes or hypertension．
61、 What is the main purpose of the study? A．To improve overall women's health outcomes． B．To call for ACS solutions based on gender differences． C．To find the best course of treatment or prevention of ACS． D．To decrease the mortality rate in 30 days after the heart attack．
62、 Questions62-71are based on the following passage． Meat eaters in developed countries will have to eat a lot less meat, cutting consumption by 50%, to avoid the worst consequences of future climate change, new research warns． The fertilizers used in farming are responsible for a significant share of the warming that causes climate change． A study published in Environmental Research Letters warns that drastic changes in food production and at the dinner table are needed by 2050 in order to prevent disastrous global warming． It's probably the most difficult challenge in dealing with climate change: how to reduce emissions from food production while still producing enough to feed a global population projected to reach 9 billion by the middle of this century． The findings, by Eric Davidson, director of the Woods Hole Research Centre in Massachusetts, say the developed world will have to cut fertilizer use by 50% and persuade consumers in the developed world to stop eating so much meat． Davidson concedes it's a hard sell． "I think there are huge challenges in convincing people in the west to reduce portion sizes or the frequency of eating meat． That is part of our culture right now," he said． Researchers have been paying closer attention in the past few years to the impact of agriculture on climate change, and the parallel problem of growing enough food for an expanding population． Some scientists are at work growing artificial meat which would avoid the fertilizers and manure (糞肥)responsible for climate change． Nitrous oxide (一氧化二氮) , released by fertilizers and animal manure, is the most potent of the greenhouse gases that cause climate change． The UN's climate body has called for deep cuts to those emissions． Growing feed crops, for cattle and pigs, produces more of those emissions than food crops that go directly into the human food chain． Eating less meat would reduce demand for fertilizers as well as reduce the amount of manure produced． Davidson also suggests changes in current farming practice． For example, such as growing winter ground cover crops would help absorb nitrogen (氮) and prevent its release into the atmosphere． In reaching his conclusion, Davidson draws on figures from the Food and Agricultural Organization suggesting the world population will reach 8．9 billion by 2050． Meat consumption is also projected to increase sharply to 89kg per person a year in rich countries． Such a trajectory (發(fā)展軌跡)would put the world on course to more severe consequences of climate change． Davidson is not suggesting people give up meat entirely． "The solution isn't that everyone needs to become a vegetarian． Simply reducing portion sizes and frequency would go a long way," he said． So would switching from beef and pork, which have a high carbon footprint (碳排放量), to chicken or fish．
What is the hardest task in coping with the future climate change? A．To persuade people to reduce portion sizes or the frequency of eating meat． B．To balance between food production and emissions of greenhouse gases． C．To produce enough food for an expanding global population． D．To change the current farming practice．
63、 Which of the following statements is NOT a suggestion made by Davidson? A．Decrease the use of fertilizers． B．Cut the meat consumption． C．Plant winter ground cover crops． D．Grow artificial meat．
64、 We can infer that one benefit of eating less meat is that it can reduce A．the planting of food crops B．the demand for fertilizers C．the emissions of nitrous oxide D．the amount of manure produced
65、 What may be the most preferred diet by Davidson? A．Less beef but more fish． B．Only vegetables． C．Some vegetables and some pork． D．Less chicken but more vegetables．
66、 Which of the following can be the best title of the passage? A．Stop Eating So Much Meat B．Stop Using Fertilizers C．Control the Future Climate Change D．Control the World Population Part II Reading Comprehension Part VI Translation （30 minutes） Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English. You should write your answer on Answer Sheet 2.
67、電話作為一種便利的通訊工具，在日常工作中有著廣泛的應(yīng)用。人們可以通過電話粗略判斷對方的人品、性格。因此，禮貌得體的打電話方法是非常必要的。當(dāng)給某人打電話，若一接通，聽到的是對方親切、優(yōu)美的招呼聲，心里一定會(huì)很愉快。不僅雙方對話能順利展開，也會(huì)對該人有較好的印象。所以打電話時(shí)要保持良好的心情，抱著“對方看著”的心態(tài)去應(yīng)對。這樣即使對方看不見你，也能被你歡快的語調(diào)所感染。

47、根據(jù)以下內(nèi)容回答47-56題 Protecting Student Privacy in the Data Age A． In Kentucky, parents, educators and policy makers can track how many students from a high school go to college, and once they are there, how many require remedial classes (補(bǔ)習(xí)班) ． Massachusetts is one of several states with an early warning indicator system, which notifies school officials when students appear to be at risk for dropping out of high school． And in Georgia, teachers can easily access years of test scores, class, grades and attendance rates for any student． B． Student data advocates argue that used correctly data， including student attendance, test scores and demographics (人口統(tǒng)計(jì)) , can enrich education． Teachers can better personalize instruction for students, principals can view the academic records of students who move across school districts and parents can determine whether a child is on track for college, to name just a few examples． C． But that promise comes with threats to students" privacy． Parents have expressed concerns that if teachers have easy access to students' entire academic histories, they might write off those with poor records, or that student information might fall into the hands of sexual predators (侵害者) ． Those concerns have led to heated debates about how much data schools should be collecting, how it should be stored and who should have access to it． D． Over the past year, the Common Core State Standards have also triggered discussions about student data, although the standards do not call for the federal government to collect data． "There's no denying that education technology has the potential to transform learning if it's used wisely," said Joni Lupovitz, vice president of policy at Common Sense Media, which this fall launched a campaign to raise awareness about student privacy issues． "What we're working to ensure is that as educators, parents and student embrace more and more education technology, (and)balance the equation by focusing on student privacy to help ensure that we're creating an atmosphere where kids can learn and be engaged and thrive without putting their personal information at risk．" Relying on a 1970s Law E． Until recently, most states weighing privacy questions relied on the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) , a 1974 law intended to protect student education records, But in recent years, the U．S． Department of Education has made regulatory changes to the law, creating many exceptions． For example, education records now may be shared with outside contractors, such as private companies that track grades or attendance on behalf of school systems． The changes have prompted some states to examine whether they should play a stronger role in protecting student data． F． Paige Kowalski, director of state policy and advocacy for the Data Quality Campaign, a nonprofit that advocates for the effective use of data to improve student achievement, said states are starting to realize they need more sophisticated and comprehensive policies, regulations and practices around student privacy, and that they can't just rely on FERPA． G． "All states have privacy laws on the books, but a lot of them are old," Kowalski said． "A lot of them just don't have modern policies that were written acknowledging that data is even at the state level, let alone stored electronically and because of technology is able to move．" Kowalski added that states' privacy policies might refer to outdated information practices, such as checking out paper documents, while failing to discuss modern needs like encryption (加密)． H． Most school districts rely on cloud computing--meaning data are stored on servers that can be accessed through the Internet--for everything from cafeteria payments to attendance records． But a recent study by the Center on Law and Information Policy at Fordham Law School concluded that most cloud-based services are "poorly understood, nontransparent and weakly governed" by schools． Most school districts fail to inform parents that they are using cloud-based services, and many contracts with web-based vendors (供應(yīng)商) fail to address privacy issues, the study found． Keeping Parents in the Dark I． The Electronic Privacy Information Center, a nonprofit research group in Washington, D．C．, filed a lawsuit in February 2012 against the U．S． Department of Education challenging its FERPA changes, but a federal court dismissed the lawsuit for lack of standing． J． Khaliah Barnes, the center's administrative law counsel, said many schools and states are doing a poor job of informing parents of the issues that can arise with technology． She said school districts should tell parents about the kinds of information they collect, to whom that information is disclosed and for what purposes． Parents should also have the right to opt out of disclosing certain types of information, she said, and should be informed how to access and change incorrect information． K． Barnes said schools are using new technology to collect information that goes far beyond attendance records and test scores． Schools have used palm scanners to help students speed through cafeteria lines, and GPS or microchip (微芯片) technology to tell schools when students get on the right school buses or arrive at school, for example． L． One state leading the conversation on student data privacy is Oklahoma, which in June adopted the Student Data Accessibility, Transparency and Accountability Act establishing rules for the collection and transfer of student data by the state． "It was designed as a system of safeguards to protect student privacy," said state representative David Brumbaugh, a Republican, who sponsored the legislation． "It stops the release of confidential (機(jī)密的)data to organizations outside of Oklahoma without written consent of parents or guardians．" M． The law prohibits the state from releasing any student-level data without state approval, which means the education department can release only data that is aggregated and cannot be tied to any individual student． "To my knowledge, we're the only state that doesn't release student-level data," said Kim Richey, general counsel for the Oklahoma Department of Education． N． Brumbaugh said he's heard from lawmakers around the country interested in proposing similar legislation for their states． The conservative American Legislative Exchange Council has also proposed model legislation similar to the Oklahoma bill． O． Other states also have taken action on student data privacy this year: In New York, where a handful of bills related to student data privacy have been introduced in the legislature, the Senate Education Committee held a series of public hearings (聽證會(huì)) on topics including student privacy around a planned data collection system． Last week, state senator John Flanagan called" for a one-year delay in the launch of the data collection system． The Long Island Republican urged lawmakers to strengthen protections for data on the statewide data portal (門戶網(wǎng)站) and set civil and criminal penalties for violations． Georgia Governor Nathan Deal, a Republican, signed an executive order in May prohibiting the state from collecting or sharing personally identifiable data on students and prohibiting student data from being collected for the development of commercial products or services． In October, the Alabama State Board of Education adopted a new policy on student data that allows the state to share student data with the federal government only in aggregate． The policy also calls on school districts to adopt their own policies on the collection and sharing of student data． Republican Gov． Terry Branstad of Iowa signed an executive order in October reaffirming that student data should be collected in accordance with state and federal privacy laws and that only aggregate student data would be provided to the federal government．
A study indicated that the way schools handle cloud-based services is quite unsatisfactory．
48、 The changes made to FERPA suggest that now student data may be exposed to a wider circle．
49、 Some states follow Oklahoma and have taken some measures to deal with student data privacy．
50、 Some states' laws or policies on privacy are based on past practices and thus can't meet the present situations．
51、 New technology enables schools to expand the scope of information they collect．
52、 Now states become aware that FERPA alone cannot be effective in protecting student data．
53、 Oklahoma's bill on student data privacy has made a nationwide impact．
54、 Parents worry that certain information may be at risk of being altered or deleted by those who can access student data．
55、 Parents should have the right to know more and make decisions about the collection and use of student data．
56、 The proper use of student data can improve the teaching since teachers can learn more about individual differences between students． Section C Directions: 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 choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.
57、Questions57-66are based on the ．following passage． A recent study discovered that after surviving a heart attack, women have a slightly higher risk than men of dying in the next 30 days． The finding, researchers say, likely reflects the differences in the type of heart failure women experience, as well as the severity of the condition． (When the severity of the heart attack was taken into consideration, the mortality rates were more comparable between men and women)． The study examined medical records for more than 136,000 patients who had suffered from acute coronary syndromes (ACS急性冠狀動(dòng)脈綜合癥) ． They found that, in the month after first suffering ACS, the mortality rate among men was 5．3%, compared with 9．6% in women． Under the umbrella term ACS there are multiple conditions--including heart attack caused by either completely or partially blocked blood supply, and what doctors refer to as "unstable angina (心絞痛) ," or when slowly decreasing blood and oxygen supply causes tightness in the chest, often a precursor (前兆) to the more severe types of heart attack． In this study, a heart attack caused by completely or nearly completely blocked blood supply was more likely to result in death after 30 days for women, compared with men． But for slightly less severe incidents, in which blood flow was partially or temporarily blocked, or in cases of unstable angina, women had lower mortality rates in the following 30 days than men did． The differences, which incorporate both sex and type of ACS, suggest to researchers that physicians should take gender into consideration when assessing patients, and deciding on the best course of treatment or prevention． Women, who in the study tended to be older than men when they suffered heart attack, were also more likely to have concurrent complications (并發(fā)癥) such as diabetes (糖尿病) or hypertension (高血壓) ． And whereas men were more likely to have narrowed coronary arteries (冠狀動(dòng)脈）, which was less frequently the case among women． After a more severe incident, the fact that women had a greater risk for death suggested to doctors that it might be due to the subsequent reduction in blood flow． On the other hand, that they got along better than men after the less severe forms of ACS--partial blockage or unstable angina--was likely a result of the generally less severe blockages seen in women, as compared to men． Heart disease is the leading cause of death among both men and women, and though, overall women's health outcomes continue to be slightly worse than men's, they are improving． And, researchers hope, with more studies illuminating the way in which heart disease uniquely impacts women and men, new gender- specific treatment methods may be the way of the future．
What does the study indicate about acute coronary syndromes (ACS) ? A．It can have different impact on women and men． B．It can be regarded as the leading cause of death among these patients． C．It can lead to more severe types of heart attack． D．It can cause more deaths among men in the next 30 days．
58、 According to the study, more women's deaths are likely to occur in a month when the heart attack is caused by A．temporary blockage B．tightness in the chest C．unstable angina D．complete blockage
59、 Among these ACS patients, women were more likely to A．have more severe forms of ACS B．be younger than men C．have other diseases D．have narrowed coronary arteries
60、 What is the possible reason for women's lower death risk in case of less severe ACS? A．The blood supply decreased subsequently． B．They usually had less severe blockages than men． C．New treatment methods were adopted. D．They are less likely to have diabetes or hypertension．
61、 What is the main purpose of the study? A．To improve overall women's health outcomes． B．To call for ACS solutions based on gender differences． C．To find the best course of treatment or prevention of ACS． D．To decrease the mortality rate in 30 days after the heart attack．
62、 Questions62-71are based on the following passage． Meat eaters in developed countries will have to eat a lot less meat, cutting consumption by 50%, to avoid the worst consequences of future climate change, new research warns． The fertilizers used in farming are responsible for a significant share of the warming that causes climate change． A study published in Environmental Research Letters warns that drastic changes in food production and at the dinner table are needed by 2050 in order to prevent disastrous global warming． It's probably the most difficult challenge in dealing with climate change: how to reduce emissions from food production while still producing enough to feed a global population projected to reach 9 billion by the middle of this century． The findings, by Eric Davidson, director of the Woods Hole Research Centre in Massachusetts, say the developed world will have to cut fertilizer use by 50% and persuade consumers in the developed world to stop eating so much meat． Davidson concedes it's a hard sell． "I think there are huge challenges in convincing people in the west to reduce portion sizes or the frequency of eating meat． That is part of our culture right now," he said． Researchers have been paying closer attention in the past few years to the impact of agriculture on climate change, and the parallel problem of growing enough food for an expanding population． Some scientists are at work growing artificial meat which would avoid the fertilizers and manure (糞肥)responsible for climate change． Nitrous oxide (一氧化二氮) , released by fertilizers and animal manure, is the most potent of the greenhouse gases that cause climate change． The UN's climate body has called for deep cuts to those emissions． Growing feed crops, for cattle and pigs, produces more of those emissions than food crops that go directly into the human food chain． Eating less meat would reduce demand for fertilizers as well as reduce the amount of manure produced． Davidson also suggests changes in current farming practice． For example, such as growing winter ground cover crops would help absorb nitrogen (氮) and prevent its release into the atmosphere． In reaching his conclusion, Davidson draws on figures from the Food and Agricultural Organization suggesting the world population will reach 8．9 billion by 2050． Meat consumption is also projected to increase sharply to 89kg per person a year in rich countries． Such a trajectory (發(fā)展軌跡)would put the world on course to more severe consequences of climate change． Davidson is not suggesting people give up meat entirely． "The solution isn't that everyone needs to become a vegetarian． Simply reducing portion sizes and frequency would go a long way," he said． So would switching from beef and pork, which have a high carbon footprint (碳排放量), to chicken or fish．
What is the hardest task in coping with the future climate change? A．To persuade people to reduce portion sizes or the frequency of eating meat． B．To balance between food production and emissions of greenhouse gases． C．To produce enough food for an expanding global population． D．To change the current farming practice．
63、 Which of the following statements is NOT a suggestion made by Davidson? A．Decrease the use of fertilizers． B．Cut the meat consumption． C．Plant winter ground cover crops． D．Grow artificial meat．
64、 We can infer that one benefit of eating less meat is that it can reduce A．the planting of food crops B．the demand for fertilizers C．the emissions of nitrous oxide D．the amount of manure produced
65、 What may be the most preferred diet by Davidson? A．Less beef but more fish． B．Only vegetables． C．Some vegetables and some pork． D．Less chicken but more vegetables．
66、 Which of the following can be the best title of the passage? A．Stop Eating So Much Meat B．Stop Using Fertilizers C．Control the Future Climate Change D．Control the World Population Part II Reading Comprehension Part VI Translation （30 minutes） Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English. You should write your answer on Answer Sheet 2.
67、電話作為一種便利的通訊工具，在日常工作中有著廣泛的應(yīng)用。人們可以通過電話粗略判斷對方的人品、性格。因此，禮貌得體的打電話方法是非常必要的。當(dāng)給某人打電話，若一接通，聽到的是對方親切、優(yōu)美的招呼聲，心里一定會(huì)很愉快。不僅雙方對話能順利展開，也會(huì)對該人有較好的印象。所以打電話時(shí)要保持良好的心情，抱著“對方看著”的心態(tài)去應(yīng)對。這樣即使對方看不見你，也能被你歡快的語調(diào)所感染。
