2020年9月19日大学英语四级选词填空真题OpinionThe three types of financial stressBy Paul BensonNovember 7, 2018 - 12.00amThere are three main types of financial stress that I come across on a regular basis. The first is inherited, the second is debt, and the third is longevity.Inherited financial stress is the most common and debilitating. It is experienced by those who have grown up in households where their parents regularly argued and fought about money. Money therefore becomes a stressful topic, and so the thought of sitting down and planning is about as attractive as volunteering to have a root canal done by a trainee dentist.Financial stress can make you broke, like a vicious circle.Credit:ShutterstockThose suffering inherited financial stress tend to follow one of two patterns. Either they put their head in the sand - they don't open their superannuation statements, don't budget, and certainly don't discuss financial matters with their loved ones.Alternatively they go to the other extreme, and micro-analyse everything, to the point of complete paralysis. They're convinced that whatever decision they make, it will be the wrong one.AdvertisementThe next common type of financial stress is that caused by debt. In 99 out of 100 cases of debt-induced financial stress, credit cards will be a central element. And yes, that is intentionally plural - there's never just one. Often there'll be a car loan and perhaps a mortgage, but credit cards certainly seem to be the gateway drug to debt-related financial stress.The final form of financial stress, that I see, I've somewhat imperfectly termed longevity. This manifests itself in being stressed about the normal ups and downs of investment markets - actually not so much the ups, but definitely the downs.So what can you do to prevent financial stress from holding you back?The first thing to do is have a separate bank account for your bills and regular expenses, and have an automatic transfer from your everyday account every time you get paid, to top it up.With this system up and running, you will know that whenever a bill comes in, you have the money sitting there waiting to pay it. This means, a) no more stress, and b) no need to hit the credit card.AdvertisementRelated ArticleOpinionHousehold debtThe pressure of living under the weight of debtThe next thing is to clear your unproductive debts. Determine which debt is the most expensive and focus all your attention on getting rid of it. Again, use automatic transfers as much as possible to avoid the risk of weakened willpower.Another useful way to alleviate financial stress is to have some projections done, so you have a good sense what the long-term outlook is. You'll find your super fund website will have a projection tool so you can get an estimate of where your retirement savings will end, and sites like the government's Money Smart has some good calculators for this purpose too.Worst-case planning is another great way to reduce worry. This is where you list out the biggest worries you have, and then determine what action you'd take if those things occurred. The actions may not always be pleasant, but just knowing you have a plan can remove that dark cloud floating around in the back of your brain.Finally, don't be afraid to talk about your finances with your partner or other loved ones. Especially for couples; you're a team, and chances are if you're worried about your finances but are too afraid to discuss it, so is your partner. Don't pass your inherited financial stress down to your kids.26: l normal27:E definitely28: D considerable29: Jpossibly30：B argued31: K proposition32:N tend33: C avoid34: F extreme35:G inaction2020年9月19日大学英语四级长篇阅读真题Doctor's orders:Let children just playWhether it's rough-and-tumble physical play, outdoor play, or social or pretend play, kids derive important lessons from the chance to make things up as they go, a pediatrician said.Imagine a drug that could enhance a child's creativity, critical thinking and resilience. Imagine that this drug were simple to make, safe to take and could be had for free.The nation's leading pediatricians say this miracle compound exists. In a new clinical report, they are urging doctors to prescribe it liberally to the children in their care.What is this wonder drug? Play."This may seem old-fashioned, but there are skills to be learned when kids aren't told what to do," said Dr. Michael Yogman, a Harvard Medical School pediatrician who led the drafting of the call to arms. Whether it's rough-and-tumble physical play, outdoor play, or social or pretend play, kids derive important lessons from the chance to make things up as they go, he said.The advice, issued in August by the American Academy of Pediatrics, may come as a shock to some parents. After spending years fretting over which toys to buy, which apps to download and which skill-building programs to send their kids to after school, letting them simply play - or better yet, playing with them - could seem like a step backward.The pediatricians insist that it's not. The academy's guidance does not include specific recommendations for the dosing of play. Instead, it asks doctors to advise parents before their babies turn 2 that play is essential to healthy development. It also advocates for the restoration of play in schools."Play is not frivolous," the academy's report declares. It nurtures children's ingenuity, cooperation and problem-solving skills - all of which are critical for a 21st-century workforce. It lays the neural groundwork that helps us "pursue goals and ignore distractions."When parents engage in play with their children, it deepens relationships and builds a bulwark against the toxic effects of all kinds of stress, including poverty, the academy says.In the pediatricians' view, essentially every life skill valued in adults can be built up with play."Collaboration, negotiation, conflict resolution, self-advocacy, decision-making, a sense of agency, creativity, leadership, and increased physical activity are just some of the skills and benefits children gain through play," they wrote.The pediatricians' appeal comes as American kids are being squeezed by escalating academic demands at school, the relentless encroachment of digital media and parents who either load up their schedules with organized activities or who are themselves too busy or stressed to play.The trends have been a long time coming. Between 1981 and 1997, detailed time-use studies showed that the time children spent at play declined by 25 percent. Since the adoption of sweeping education reforms in 2001, public schools have steadily increased the amount of time devoted to preparing for standardized tests.The focus on academic "skills and drills" has cut deeply into recess and other time for free play.By 2009, a study of Los Angeles kindergarten classrooms found that 5-year-olds were so burdened with academic requirements that they were down to an average of just 19 minutes per day of "choice time," when they were permitted to play freely with blocks, toys or other children. One in 4 Los Angeles teachers reported there was no time at all for "free play."Increased academic pressures have left 30 percent of U.S. kindergarten classes without any recess. Such findings prompted the American Academy of Pediatrics to issue a policy statement in 2013 on the "crucial role of recess in school."Pediatricians aren't the only ones who have noticed.In a report titled "Crisis in the Kindergarten," a consortium of educators, health professionals and child advocates called the loss of play in early childhood "a tragedy, both for the children themselves and for our nation and world." Kids in play-based kindergartens "end up equally good or better at reading and other intellectual skills, and they are more likelyto become well-adjusted healthy people," the Alliance for Childhood said in 2009.Indeed, new research demonstrates why playing with blocks might have been time better spent, Yogman said. The trial assessed the effectiveness of an early mathematics intervention aimed at preschoolers. The results showed almost no gains in math achievement.Another playtime thief: the proportion of kids' time spent in front of screens and digital devices, even among preschoolers.Last year, Common Sense Media reported that children up through age 8 spent an average of two hours and 19 minutes in front of screens each day, including an average of 42 minutes a day for those under 2.This escalation of digital use comes with rising risks of obesity, sleep deprivation and cognitive, language and social-emotional delays, the American Academy of Pediatrics warned in 2016.Yogman acknowledged that many screen-based activities can nurture some of the same areas that kids get through free play: problem-solving, spatial skills and persistence.But in young kids, especially, they are often crowding out games of make-believe, not to mention face-to-face time with peers and parents, Yogman said."I respect that parents have busy lives and it's easy to hand a child an iPhone," he said. "But there's a cost to that. For young children, it's much too passive. And kids really learn better when they're actively engaged and have to really discover things."The decline of play is a special hazard for the roughly 1 in 5 children in the U.S. who live in poverty. These 14 million children most urgently need to develop the resilience that is nurtured with play. Instead, Yogman said, they are disproportionately affected by some of the trends that are making play scarce: academic pressures at schools that need to improve test scores, outside play areas that are limited or unsafe, and parents who lack the time or energy to share in playtime."We're not the only species that plays," said Temple University psychologist Kathy Hirsh-Pasek. "Dogs, cats, monkeys, whales and even octopuses play, and when you have something that prevalent in the animal kingdom, it probably has a purpose."Yogman also worries about the pressures that squeeze playtime for more affluent kids. "The notion that as parents we need to schedule every minute of their time is not doing them a great service," he said. Even well-meaning parents may be "robbing them of the opportunity to have that joy of discovery and curiosity."Section B36. [H] Another playtime thief: the growing proportion of kids’ time spent in front of screens and digital devices.37. [E] The focus on academic “skills and drills” has cut deeply into recess and other time for free play.38. [] 缺失原文和选项39. [G] a consortium of educators, health professionals and child advocates called the loss of play in early childhood “a tragedy, both for the children themselves and for our nation and world.”40. [D] When parents engage in play with their children, it deepens relationships and builds a bulwark against the toxic effects of all kinds of stress.41. [I] And kids really learn better when they’re actively engaged and have to really discover things.42. [C] letting them simply play — or better yet, playing with them — could seem like a step backward.43. [K] Yogman also worries about the pressures that squeeze playtime for more affluent kids.44. [F] By 2009, a study of Los Angeles kindergarten classrooms found that 5-year-olds were so burdened with academic requirements that they were down to an average of just 19 minutes per day of “choice time,” when they were permitted to play freely with blocks, toys or other children.45. [B] This may seem old-fashioned，but there are skills to be leaned when kids aren’t told what to do.解析：36题的选项中出现了steals away, 可以根据H段的首句playtime thief以及digital devices定位得出。

2020年9月英语六级真题及参考答案【完整版】四六级试卷采用多题多卷形式，大家核对答案时，请找具体选项内容，忽略套数。

【网络综合版】听力：Section ALong Conversation OneM:You are a professor of Physics at the University of Oxford.You are a senior advisor at the European Organization for Nuclear Research.You also seem to tour the global tirelessly,giving talks. And in addition,you have your own weekly TV show On Science. Where do you get the energy?W:Oh,well.【Q1】I just love what I do.I am extremely fortunate to have this life,doing what I love doing.M:Professor,what exactly is your goal?Why do you do all of these?W:well,as you said,I do have different things going on.But these I think can be divided into【Q2】two groups:the education of science,and the further understanding of science.M:Don't these two things get in the way of each other?What I mean is,doesn't giving lectures take time away from the lab?W:Not really,no.I love teaching,and I don’t mind spending more time doing that now than in the past.Also,what I will say is, that【Q3】teaching a subject helps me comprehend it better myself.I find that it furthers my own knowledge when I have to explain something clearly,when I have to aid others understanding it,and when I have to answer questions about it. Teaching at a high level can be very stimulating for anyone,no matter how much expertise they may already have in the field they are instructing.M:Are there any scientific breakthroughs that you see on the near horizon?A significant discovery or invention we can expect soon.W:【Q4】The world is always conducting science.And there're constantly new things being discovered.In fact,right now,we have too much data sitting in computers.For example,we havethousands of photos of planet Mars taken by telescopes that nobody has ever seen.We have them,yet nobody has had time to look at them with their own eyes,let alone analyze them.Q1:Why does the woman say she can be so energetic?Q2:What has the woman been engaged in?Q3:What does the woman say about the benefit teaching brings to her?Q4:How does the woman say new scientific breakthroughs can be made possible?Section AConversation2M:Do you think dreams【Q5】have special meanings?W:No.I don't think they do.M:I don't either,but some people do.I would say people who believe that dreams have special meanings are superstitious, especially nowadays.In the past,during the times of ancient Egypt,Greece or China,people used to believe that dreams could foresee the future.But today,with all the scientificknowledge that we have,I think it's much harder to believe in these sorts of things.W:My grandmother is superstitious,and she thinks dreams can predict the future.Once,【Q6】she dreamed that the flight she was due to take the following day crashed.Can you guess what she did?She didn't take that flight.She didn't even bother to go to the airport the following day.Instead,she took the same flight but a week later.And everything was fine of course.No plane ever crashed.M:How funny!Did you know that flying is actually safer than any other mode of transport?It's been statistically proven.People can be so irrational sometimes.W:Yes,absolutely.But,even if we think they are ridiculous,【Q7】emotions can be just as powerful as rational thinking.M:Exactly.People do all sorts of crazy things because of their irrational feelings.But in fact,some psychologists believe that our dreams are the result of our emotions and memories from that day.I think it was Sigmund Freud who said that children's dreams were usually simple representations of their wishes, thingsthey wished would happen.【Q8】But in adults',dreams are much more complicated reflections of their more sophisticated sentiments.W:Isn't it interesting how psychologists try to understand using the scientific method something as bazaar as dreams? Psychology is like the rational study of irrational feelings.Q5:What do both speakers think of dreams?Q6:Why didn't the woman's grandmother take her scheduled flight?Q7:What does the woman say about people's emotions?Q8:What did psychologist Sigmund Freud say about adults' dreams?Section BPassage1While some scientists explore the surface of the Antarctic, others are learning more about a giant body of water--four kilometers beneath the ice pack.Scientists first discovered Lake Vostok in the1970s by using radio waves that penetrate the ice.Since then,they have used sound waves and even satellites to map this massive body of water.How does the water in Lake Vostok remained liquid beneath an ice sheet?“The thick glacier above acts like insulating blanket and keeps the water from freezing,”said Martin Siegert,a glaciologist from the university of Wales.In addition,geothermal heat from the deep within the earth may warm the hidden lake.The scientists suspect that microorganisms may be living in Lake Vostok,closed off from the outside world for more than two million years.Anything found that will be totally alien to what’s on the surface of the earth,said Siegert.Scientists are trying to find a way to drill into the ice and draw water samples without causing contamination.Again,robots might be the solution.If all goes as planned,a drill-shift robot will melt through the surface ice.When it reaches the lake,it will release another robot that can swim in the lake,take pictures and look for signs of life.The scientists hope that discoveries will shed light on life in outer space,which might exist in similar dark and airless conditions.Recently closed-up pictures of Jupiter’s moon, Europa,shows signs of water beneath the icy surface.Once tested the Antarctic,robots could be set to Europa to search for life there,too.Q9:What did the scientists first use to discover Lake Vostok in the1970s?Q10:What did scientists think about Lake Vostok?Q11:What do the scientists hope their discoveries will do?Section BPassage2The idea to study the American Indian tribe–Tarahumaras, came to James Copeland in1984when【Q12】he discovered that very little research had been done on their language.He contacted the tribe member through a social worker who workedwith the tribes in Mexico.At first,the tribe member named Gonzalez was very reluctant to cooperate.He told Copeland that no amount of money could buy his language.But after Copeland explained to him what he intended to do with his research and how it would benefit the Tarahumaras,Gonzalez agreed to help.【Q13】He took Copeland to his village and served as an intermediary.Copeland says,thanks to him,the Tarahumaras understood what their mission was and started trusting us.【Q14】Entering the world of Tarahumaras has been a laborious project for Copeland.To reach their homeland,hemust strive two and half days from Huston Taxes.He loads up his vehicle with goods that the tribe’s men can’t easily get and gives the goods to them as a gesture of friendship.The Tarahumaras,who don’t believe any humiliating wealth,take the food and share among themselves.For Copeland,the experience has not only been academically satisfying but also has enriched his life in several ways.【Q15】“I see people rejecting technology and living a very hard,traditional life,which offers me another notion about the meaning of progress in the western tradition,”he says,“I experienced the simplicity of living in nature that I would otherwise only be able to read about.I see a lot of beauty and their sense of sharing and concern for each other.”Q12:Why did James Copeland want to study the American Indian tribe--Tarahumaras?Q13:How did Gonzalez help James Copeland?Q14:What does the speaker say about James Copeland’s trip to the Tarahumaras village?Q15:What impresses James Copeland about the Tarahumaras tribe?Section CRecording1What is a radical?It seems today that people are terrified of the term,particularly of having the label attach to them.【Q16】Accusing individuals or groups of being radical often serves to silence them into submission,thereby,maintaining the existing state of affairs,and,more important,preserving the power of a select minority,who are mostly wealthy white males in western society.Feminism is a perfect example of this phenomenon.The women's movement has been plagued by stereotypes, misrepresentations by the media,and accusations of man-hating and radicalism.When the basic foundation of feminism is simply that women deserve equal rights in all facets of life.When faced with the threat of being labelled radical,women back down from their worthy calls and consequently,participate in their own oppression.It has gotten to the point that many women are afraid to call themselves feminists because of a stigma attached to the word. If people refused to be controlled,and intimidated by stigmas, the stigmas lose all their power,without fear on which they feed, such stigmas can only die.To me,【Q17】a radical is simply someone who rebels against the norm when advocates a change in the existing state of affairs. On close inspection,it becomes clear that the norm is constantly involving,and therefore,is not a constant entity.So why then,is deviation from the present situation such a threat, when the state of affairs itself is unstable and subject to relentless transformation?It all goes back to maintaining the power of those who have it and preventing the right of those who don't.In fact,when we look at the word"radical"in a historical context,nearly every figure we now hold up as a hero was considered a radical in his or her time.Radicals are people who affect change.They are the people about whom history is written.Abolitionists were radicals, civil rights activists were radicals,【Q18】even the founders of our country in their fight to win independence from England were radicals.Their presence in history has changed the way our society functions,mainly by shifting the balance of power that previously existed.Of course,there are some radicals who've made a negative impact on humanity,【Q18】but undeniably, there would simply be no progress without radicals.That beensaid,next time someone calls me a radical,I would accept that label with pride.Q16:What usually happens when people are accused of being radical?Q17:What is the speaker's definition of a radical?Q18:What does the speaker think of most radicals in the American history?Recording2We are very susceptible to the influence of the people around us.For instance,you may have known somebody who has gone overseas for a year or so and has returned with an accent perhaps.We become part of our immediate environment.None of us are immune to the influences of our own world and let us not kid ourselves that we are untouched by the things and people in our life.Fred goes off to his new job at a factory.Fred takes histen-minute coffee break,but the other workers take half an hour. Fred says,“What’s the matter with you guys?”Two weeks later, Fred is taking twenty-minute breaks.A month later,Fred takeshis half hour.Fred is saying“If you can’t be them,join them. Why should I work any harder than the next guy?”The fascinating thing about being human is that generally we are unaware that there are changes taking place in our mentality.It is like returning to the city smog after some weeks in the fresh air. Only then do we realize that we’ve become accustomed to the nasty smells.Mix with critical people and we learn to criticize. Mix with happy people,and we learn about happiness.What this means is that we need to decide what we want from life and then choose our company accordingly.You may well say,"That is going to take some effort.It may not be comfortable.I may offend some of my present company."Right,but it is your life. Fred may say,"I’m always broke,frequently depressed.I’m going nowhere and I never do anything exciting."Then we discover that Fred’s best friends are always broke,frequently depressed,going nowhere and wishing that life was more exciting.This is not coincidence,nor is it our business to stand in judgement of Fred?However,if Fred ever wants to improve his quality of life,the first thing he'll need to do is recognize what has been going on all these years.It’s no surprise that doctors as a profession suffer a lot of ill health,because they spend their life around sick people.Psychiatrists have a higher incidence of suicide in their profession for related reasons.Traditionally,nine out of ten children whose parents smoke,smoke themselves.Obesity is in part an environmental problem.Successful people have successful friends,and so the story goes on.Q19What does the speaker say about us as human beings?Q20What does the speaker say Fred should do first to improve his quality of life?Q21What does the speaker say about the psychiatrists?Section CLecture3Virtually every American can recognize a dollar bill at a mere glance.Many can identify it by its sound or texture.But【Q22】few people indeed can accurately describe the world's most powerful,important currency.The American dollar bill is colored with black ink on one side and green on the other;【Q23】the exact composition of the paper and ink is a closely guarded government secret.Despite its weighty importance,the dollar bill actually weighs little.Itrequires nearly500bills to tip the scales at a pound.Not only is the dollar bill lightweight,but it also has a brief life span.Few dollar bills survive longer than18months.The word"dollar"is taken from the German word"taler,"the name for the world's most important currency in the16th century.The taler was a silver coin first minted in1518under the reign of Charles V,Emperor of Germany.The concept of paper money is a relatively recent innovation in the history of American currency.When the Constitution was signed,people had little regard for paper money because of its steadily decreasing value during the colonial era.【Q24】Because of this lack of faith,the new American government minted only coins for common currency.Interest-bearing bank notes were issued at the same time,but their purpose was limited to providing money for urgent government crises,such as American involvement in the War of1812.The first noninterest-bearing paper currency was authorized by Congress in1862,at the height of the Civil War.At this point, citizens'old fears of devalued paper currency had calmed,and the dollar bill was born.The new green colored paper money quickly earned the nickname"greenback."Today,the American dollar bill is a product of the Federal Reserve and is issued from the twelve Federal Reserve banks around the United States.The government keeps a steady supply of approximately two billion bills in circulation at all times.Controversy continues to surround the true value of the dollar bill.【Q25】American history has seen generations of politicians argue in favor of a gold standard for American currency. However,for the present,the American dollar bill holds the value that is printed on it,and little more.The only other guarantee on the bill is a Federal Reserve pledge of as a confirmation in the form of government securities.Q22:What does the speaker say about the American dollar bill?Q23:What does the speaker say about the exact composition of the American dollar bill?Q24:Why did the new American government mint only coins for common currency?Q25:What have generations of American politicians argued for?参考答案1.A)She can devote all her life to pursing her passion.2.D)Science education and scientific research.3.A)A better understanding of a subject.4.B)By making full use of the existing data.5.B)They have no special meanings.6.C)She dreamed of a plane crash.7.D)They can have an impact as great as rational thinking8.C)They reflect their complicated emotions.9.A)Radio waves.10.B)It may have micro—organisms living in it.11.D)Shed light on possible life in outer space.12.A)He found there had been little research on their anguage.13.D)He acted as an intermediary between Copel and the villagers.14.C)Laborious15.B)Their sense of sharing and caring.16.A)They tend to be silenced into submission.17.D)One who rebels against the existing social orser.18.C)They served as a driving force for progress.19.B)It is impossible for us to be immune from outside influence.20.D)Recognize the negative impact of his coworkers.21.A)They are quite susceptible to suicide.22.B)Few people can describe it precisely.23.C)It is a well—protected government secret.24.A)People had little faith in paper money.25.C)It is awell—protected government secret.翻译：《水浒传》(Water Margin)是中国文学四大经典小说之一。

Firstly, some teachers tend to use PPT so excessively that they often read thetext on PPT word by word without necessary explanation and interaction. This kind of action no doubt reduces teachers teaching pressure, but it is detrimental to students’ learning experience and learning effect.

As a typical application, the use of PPT in class is becoming increasingly popular.As we know, every coin has two sides. On one hand, the use of PPT in class expands knowledge and makes teaching easy, wonderful and vivid. In place of complex explanation output by teachers, show of text, sound, image and video in PPT stimulates students’ interests and help them understand intuitively especially in face of abstract concepts. Lesson study becomes more effective and interesting for students.On the other hand, relying too much on PPT weakens teachers’ ability. Many teachers read PPT directly lacking communications with students. Besides, some design of PPT is overwhelming which distracts students’ attention.As far as I am concerned, PPT is just a kind of teaching assistant. Teachers is expected to use it appropriately rather than pursuit its effects excessively.【选词填空第2套】26.I normal27.E definitely28.D considerable29.J possibly30.B argued31.K proposition32.N tend33.C avoid34.F extreme35.G inaction【信息匹配第2套】Why are Asian Americans Missing from out textbook?36.

2020年9月英语六级真题及参考答案完整版

2020年9月英语六级真题及参考答案【完整版】听力：Section ALong Conversation OneM: You are a professor of Physics at the University of Oxford. You are a senior advisor at the European Organization for Nuclear Research. You also seem to tour the global tirelessly, giving talks. And in addition, you have your own weekly TV show On Science. Where do you get the energy?W: Oh, well. 【Q1】I just love what I do. I am extremely fortunate to have this life, doing what I love doing.M: Professor, what exactly is your goal? Why do you do all of these?W: well, as you said, I do have different things going on. But these I think can be divided into 【Q2】two groups: the education of science, and the further understanding of science.M: Don't these two things get in the way of each other? What I mean is, doesn't giving lectures take time away from the lab?W: Not really, no. I love teaching, and I don’t mind spending more time doing that now than in the past. Also, what I will say is, that 【Q3】teaching a subject helps me comprehend it better myself. I find that it furthers my own knowledge when I have to explain something clearly, when I have to aid others understanding it,and when I have to answer questions about it. Teaching at a high level can be very stimulating for anyone, no matter how much expertise they may already have in the field they are instructing.M: Are there any scientific breakthroughs that you see on the near horizon? A significant discovery or invention we can expect soon.W: 【Q4】The world is always conducting science. And there're constantly new things being discovered. In fact, right now, we have too much data sitting in computers.For example, we have thousands of photos of planet Mars taken by telescopes that nobody has ever seen. We have them, yet nobody has had time to look at them with their own eyes, let alone analyze them.Q1: Why does the woman say she can be so energetic?Q2: What has the woman been engaged in?Q3: What does the woman say about the benefit teaching brings to her?Q4: How does the woman say new scientific breakthroughs can be made possible?Section AConversation 2M: Do you think dreams 【Q5】have special meanings?W: No. I don't think they do.M: I don't either, but some people do. I would say people who believe that dreams have special meanings are superstitious, especially nowadays. In the past, during the times of ancient Egypt, Greece or China, people used to believe that dreams could foresee the future. But today, with all the scientific knowledge that we have, I think it's much harder to believe in these sorts of things.W: My grandmother is superstitious, and she thinks dreams can predict the future. Once, 【Q6】she dreamed that the flight she was due to take the following day crashed.Can you guess what she did? She didn't take that flight. She didn't even bother to go to the airport the following day. Instead, she took the same flight but a week later. And everything was fine of course. No plane ever crashed.M: How funny! Did you know that flying is actually safer than any other mode of transport? It's been statistically proven. People can be so irrational sometimes.W: Yes, absolutely. But, even if we think they are ridiculous, 【Q7】emotions can be just as powerful as rational thinking.M: Exactly. People do all sorts of crazy things because of their irrational feelings. But in fact, some psychologists believe that our dreams are the result of our emotions and memories from that day. I think it was Sigmund Freud who said that children's dreams were usually simple representations of their wishes, things they wished would happen. 【Q8】But in adults', dreams are much more complicated reflections of their more sophisticated sentiments.W: Isn't it interesting how psychologists try to understand using the scientific method something as bazaar as dreams? Psychology is like the rational study of irrational feelings.Q5: What do both speakers think of dreams?Q6: Why didn't the woman's grandmother take her scheduled flight?Q7: What does the woman say about people's emotions?Q8: What did psychologist Sigmund Freud say about adults' dreams?Section BPassage 1While some scientists explore the surface of the Antarctic, others are learning more about a giant body of water -- four kilometers beneath the ice pack. Scientists first discovered Lake Vostok in the 1970s by using radio waves that penetrate the ice. Since then, they have used sound waves and even satellites to map this massive body of water. How does the water in Lake Vostok remained liquid beneath an ice sheet? “The thick glacier above acts like insulating blanket and keeps the water from freezing,” said Martin Siegert, a glaciologist from the university of Wales. In addition, geothermal heat from the deep within the earth may warm the hiddenlake. The scientists suspect that microorganisms may be living in Lake Vostok, closed off from the outside world for more than two million years. Anything found thats on the surface of the earth, said Siegert. Scientists will be totally alien to what’aretrying to find a way to drill into the ice and draw water samples without causing contamination. Again, robots might be the solution. If all goes as planned, a drillshift robot will melt through the surface ice. When it reaches the lake, it -will releaseanother robot that can swim in the lake, take pictures and look for signs of life. The scientists hope that discoveries will shed light on life in outer-space, which might exist in similar dark and airless conditions. Recently closedup ’pictures of Jupiters moon, Europa, shows signs of water beneath the icy surface. Once tested the Antarctic, robots could be set to Europa to search for life there, too.Q9: What did the scientists first use to discover Lake Vostok in the 1970s?Q10: What did scientists think about Lake Vostok?Q11: What do the scientists hope their discoveries will do?Section BPassage 2The idea to study the American Indian tribe – Tarahumaras, came to James Copeland in 1984 when 【Q12】he discovered that very little research had been done on their language. He contacted the tribe member through a social worker who worked with the tribes in Mexico. At first, the tribe member named Gonzalez was very reluctant to cooperate. He told Copeland that no amount of money could buy hislanguage. But after Copeland explained to him what he intended to do with his research and how it would benefit the Tarahumaras, Gonzalez agreed to help. 【Q13】He took Copeland to his village and served as an intermediary. Copeland says, thanks to him, the Tarahumaras understood what their mission was and started trusting us. 【Q14】Entering the world of Tarahumaras has been a laborious project for Copeland.To reach their homeland, he must strive two and half days from Huston Taxes. He loads up his vehicle with goods that the tribe’s men can’t easily get and gives the goods to them as a gesture of friendship. The Tarahumaras, who don’t believe any humiliating wealth, take the food and share among themselves. For Copeland, the experience has not only been academically satisfying but also has enriched his life in several ways. 【Q15】“I see people rejecting technology and living a very hard, traditional life, which offers me another notion about the meaning of progress in the western tradition,” he says, “I experienced the simplicity of living in nature that I would otherwise only be able to read about.I see a lot of beauty and their sense of sharing and concern for each other.”Q12: Why did James Copeland want to study the American Indian tribe -- Tarahumaras?Q13: How did Gonzalez help James Copeland?Q14: What does the speaker say about James Copeland’s trip to the Tarahumaras village?Q15: What impresses James Copeland about the Tarahumaras tribe?Section CRecording 1What is a radical? It seems today that people are terrified of the term,minority, who are mostly wealthy white males in western society.Feminism is a perfect example of this phenomenon. The women's movement has been plagued by stereotypes, misrepresentations by the media, and accusations of man-hating and radicalism. When the basic foundation of feminism is simply that women deserve equal rights in all facets of life. When faced with the threat of being labelled radical, women back down from their worthy calls and consequently, participate in their own oppression.It has gotten to the point that many women are afraid to call themselves feminists because of a stigma attached to the word. If people refused to be controlled, and intimidated by stigmas, the stigmas lose all their power, without fear on which they feed, such stigmas can only die.To me, 【Q17】a radical is simply someone who rebels against the norm when advocates a change in the existing state of affairs. On close inspection, it becomes clear that the norm is constantly involving, and therefore, is not a constant entity. So why then, is deviation from the present situation such a threat, when the state of affairs itself is unstable and subject to relentless transformation?It all goes back to maintaining the power of those who have it and preventing the right of those who don't. In fact, when we look at the word "radical" in a historical context, nearly every figure we now hold up as a hero was considered a radical in his or her time. Radicals are people who affect change. They are the people about whom history is written. Abolitionists were radicals, civil rights activists were radicals, 【Q18】 even the founders of our country in their fight to win independence from England were radicals. Their presence in history has changed the way our society functions, mainly by shifting the balance of power that previously existed. Of course, there are some radicals who've made a negative impact on humanity, 【Q18】 but undeniably, there would simply be no progress without radicals. That been said, next time someone calls me a radical, I would accept that label with pride.Q16: What usually happens when people are accused of being radical?Q17: What is the speaker's definition of a radical?Q18: What does the speaker think of most radicals in the American history?Recording 2We are very susceptible to the influence of the people around us. For instance, you may have known somebody who has gone overseas for a year or so and has returned with an accent perhaps. We become part of our immediate environment. None of us are immune to the influences of our own world and let us not kid ourselves that we are untouched by the things and people in our life.Fred goes off to his new job at a factory. Fred takes his ten-minute coffee break, but the other workers take half an hour. Fred says, “What’s the matter with you guys?” Two weeks later, Fred is taking twenty-minute breaks. A month later, Fred takes his half hour. Fred is saying “If you can’t be them, join them. Why should I work any harder than the next guy?” The fascinating thing about being human is that generally we are unaware that there are changes taking place in our mentality. It is like returning to the city smog after some weeks in the fresh air. Only then do we realize that we’ve become accustomed to the nasty smells. Mix with critical people and we learn to criticize. Mix with happy people, and we learn about happiness. What this means is that we need to decide what we want from life and then choose our company accordingly. You may well say, "That is going to take some effort. It may not be comfortable. I may offend some of my present company." Right, but it is your life. Fred may say, "I’m always broke, frequently depressed. I’m going nowhereand I never do anything exciting." Then we discover that Fred’s best friends are always broke, frequently depressed, going nowhere and wishing that life was more exciting. This is not coincidence, nor is it our business to stand in judgement of Fred? However, if Fred ever wants to improve his quality of life, the first thing he'll need to do is recognize what has been going on all these years.It’s no surprise that doctors as a profession suffer a lot of ill health, because they spend their life around sick people. Psychiatrists have a higher incidence of suicide in their profession for related reasons. Traditionally, nine out of ten children whose parents smoke, smoke themselves. Obesity is in part an environmental problem. Successful people have successful friends, and so the story goes on.Q19 What does the speaker say about us as human beings?Q20 What does the speaker say Fred should do first to improve his quality of life?Q21 What does the speaker say about the psychiatrists?Section CLecture 3Virtually every American can recognize a dollar bill at a mere glance. Many can identify it by its sound or texture. But 【Q22】few people indeed can accurately describe the world's most powerful, important currency.The American dollar bill is colored with black ink on one side and green on the other;【Q23】 the exact composition of the paper and ink is a closely guarded government secret. Despite its weighty importance, the dollar bill actually weighs little. It requires nearly 500 bills to tip the scales at a pound. Not only is the dollar bill lightweight, but it also has a brief life span. Few dollar bills survive longer than 18 months.The word "dollar" is taken from the German word "taler," the name for the world's most important currency in the 16th century. The taler was a silver coin first minted in 1518 under the reign of Charles V, Emperor of Germany.The concept of paper money is a relatively recent innovation in the history of American currency. When the Constitution was signed, people had little regard for paper money because of its steadily decreasing value during the colonial era.【Q24】Because of this lack of faith, the new American government minted only coins for common currency. Interest-bearing bank notes were issued at the same time, but their purpose was limited to providing money for urgent government crises, such as American involvement in the War of 1812.The first noninterest-bearing paper currency was authorized by Congress in 1862, at the height of the Civil War. At this point, citizens' old fears of devalued paper currency had calmed, and the dollar bill was born. The new green colored paper money quickly earned the nickname "greenback."Today, the American dollar bill is a product of the Federal Reserve and is issued from the twelve Federal Reserve banks around the United States. The government keeps a steady supply of approximately two billion bills in circulation at all times.Controversy continues to surround the true value of the dollar bill.【Q25】American history has seen generations of politicians argue in favor of a gold standard for American currency. However, for the present, the American dollar bill holds the value that is printed on it, and little more. The only other guarantee on the bill is a Federal Reserve pledge of as a confirmation in the form of government securities.Q22: What does the speaker say about the American dollar bill?Q23: What does the speaker say about the exact composition of the American dollar bill?Q24: Why did the new American government mint only coins for common currency?Q25: What have generations of American politicians argued for?参考答案1.A)She can devote all her life to pursing her passion.2.D)Science education and scientific research.3.A)A better understanding of a subject.4.B)By making full use of the existing data.5.

Part in 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 passage throughcarefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Pleasemark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through thecentre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.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. These days, I rely on them for their company.I missed coming home and talking about my day at work, and I missed being able to read their faces and sense how their day was. I missed having unique 28 into tiny details that make a life.While the conversation about young adults staying longer at home is 29 by talk of laziness, of dependence, of an inability for young people to pull themselves together, 30 do we talk of the way, in my case at least, my relationship with my parents has 31 strengthened the longer we have lived together.Over the years the power dynamic has changed and is no longer defined by one being the giver and another, the taker. 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 44 parent-child relationship may indeed strengthen and mature” in the process.But, she notes, a strong 33 doesn't simply come with time.

Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which theivformation is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is markedwith a letter. Answer the questions by nui/rking 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 internetconnections, 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).TheyYe also consultingwith each other electronically—sometimes to make split-second decisions on heart attacks and strokes.Patients, meanwhile, are using new devices to relay their blood pressure, heart rate and other vital signs to their doctors so 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 its physicians in Niger, South Sudan and elsewhere to its network of 280 experts around the world, and back again via internet.C)As a measure of how rapidly telemedicine is spreading, consider: More than 15 million Americans receivedsome 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 500tech-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 1 500 fanuly physicians, only 15% had used it in their practices—but 90% said they would if it were appropriately reimbursed (补偿).E)Whafs more, for all the rapid growth, significant questions and challenges remain. Rules defining andregulating 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^ 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 consumers2020.9/ 2 (第2 套丄with clinicians theyVe 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 Teladoc 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 may be 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. w Telemedicine holds enormous promise, but these sites are just not ready for prime time," says Jack Resneck, the stud/s lead author.J） The American Teleme祖cine 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,” says Peter Rasmussen, medical director of distance health at the Cleveland Clinic. Some 32 states have 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, doctors office or clinic.L）B ills to expand Medicare coverage of telemedicine have bipartisan（两党的）support in Congress.Opponents wony that such expansion would be costly for taxpayers, but advocates say it would save money in the long run.M）E xperts 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）I s the state-by-state regulatory system outdated? Historically, regulation of medicine has been left to2020.9/ 3 （第2套）individual states. But some industry members contend that having 50 different sets of rules, licensing fees and even definitions of “medical practice M 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 cover and whether payers should reimburse for remote patient monitoring. "A lot of states are still trying to define telemedicine,M 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 itsconvenience.38.Different states have markedly different regulations for telemedicine.39.With telemedicine, patients in regions short of professional medical service are able to receive bettermedical care.40.Unlike employers and health plans, insurers have been rather reluctant to pay for some telemedicineservices.41.Some supporters of telemedicine hope states will accept each othefs 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 providersare disturbing.45.Some people argue that the fact that different states have different regulations concerning medical serviceshinders the development of telemedicine.Section CDirections: 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 decideon the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line throughthe centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.Danielle Steel, the 71-year-old romance novelist is notoriously productive, having published 1792020.9/ 4(第2 套)books at a rate of up to seven a year. But a passing reference in a recent profile by Glamour magazine to her20-hour workdays prompted an outpouring of admiration.Steel has given that 20-hour figure when describing her “exhausting" process in the past： "I start the book and 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. 4<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 SteeFs self-assessment. Her output may be undeniable, but sceptics have suggested that she is guilty of erasing the role of ghostwriters (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 ,n says Maiyanne 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 Sleepstation. "It's akin to being drunk. “It's possible that Steel is exaggerating the demands of her schedule. Self-imposed sleeplessness has M 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 work weeks endured by tech heads has been held up as key to their success.That is starting to change with increased awareness of the importance of sleep for mental health. M People are starting to realise that sleep should not be something that you fit in between eveiything else/* says Taylor.But it is possible—if statistically extremely unlikely—that Steel could be bom a "short sleeper M 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 M pretty irresponsible M to suggest 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 SteeFs novels.B)They are amazed by the number of books written by Danielle Steel.C)They are deeply impressed by Danielle SteeFs daily work schedule.D)They are highly motivated by Danielle SteeFs 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 SteeFs work schedule claims?A)They are questionable. C) They are irresistible.B)They are alterable. 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.2020.9/ 5(第2 套)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 chaUenges. Thafs the conclusion I reached in reviewing 40 years of science comparing the long-term prospects of organic and conventional fanning.The review study, u Organic Agriculture in the 21st Century,,, is featured as the cover stoty for the February issue of the journal Nature Plants. It is the first to compare organic 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. Ifs true that organic fanning 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 individualsIn 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 teU us is that mainstream conventional fanning systems have provided growing supplies of food and other products but often at the expense of other sustainability goalsConventional 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 only accompanied conventional fanning systems but have often extended weU beyond their field boundaries. With organic agriculture, environmental costs tend to be lower and the benefits greaterOverall, organic farms tend to store more soU carbon, have better soU 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-eScient 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 weU as genetic diversity. Biodiversity increases the services that nature provides and improves the ability of farming systems to adapt to changing conditions.Despite lower yields, organic agriculture is more profitable for farmg K mianners because consumers are 2020. 9 / 6 (第2 套丄willing to pay 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. C) It is not really practical.B)It cannot increase farm yields. 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. C) Inequality in food distribution.B)Deterioration in soil fertility. 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 way 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: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.
