AChih-Ming and I met in Zhuhai, China. We were studying at the same school, and he soon discovered he could practice his new language skills with me.Chih-Ming sought me out whenever he had free time, including breakfast, lunch and dinner. Whenever I asked Chih-Ming a question in English, he would breathe in and out deeply in disappointment, because he didn’t know how to communicate exactly what he wanted to.Eighteen months after I returned home Hawaii, Chih-Ming went there to continue studying English. When we met up, I was greeted by a transformed man – he could now speak English fluently! Chih-Ming said that he had devoted himself to mastering the English language. Otherwise, he would never get another chance to spend time with me. With our relationship growing stronger, we got married in 2006.Our plan was to move to my husband’s home Taiwan after the wedding. However, with the annoying arrangements, I had to reach Taiwan first and meet his family by myself!I was nervous because I didn’t speak a word of Chinese and no one in his family spoke English. Even during the flight, a hundred questions zoomed around my head. How would Chih-Ming’s family recognize me? How would I communicate with them?After landing, I met my husband’s parents waiting nearby. They were both smiling widely, but it felt very awkward because of the language barrier. I handed over my husband’s note and we went to a steak restaurant. Communica tion continued to be difficult. When the waitress asked me a question, my father-in-law took greatpains to translate for her. “She asks you . . . um, your food,” he said, then turning his hands over and over. I realized only much later that the waitress was asking how I wanted my steak done.Later at night, as I was about to go to sleep, Ming-Que, my mother-in-law, came to my room.

Calling mobile phones the “remote control” for life, market research firm Synovate says cell phones are so common that more people own more than one phone. Among over 8,000 answers voted online in 11 countries, three-quarters say they take their phone with them everywhere, with Russians and Singaporeans the most attached. More than a third also say they ca n’t live without their phone s, topped by Taiwanese and again Singaporeans, while one in four find it harder to replace the mobiles than their purses. Some two-thirds answer that they go to bed with their phones nearby and cannot switch them off, even though they want to. They’re afraid they’ll miss something.“Mobiles give us safety and instant access to information. For some young people, they are the number one tool of communication for us, sometimes even more than face-to-face communication. They are our connections to our lives,” Synovate’s director in Taiwan said.Mobiles have also changed the nature of relationships. At present, nearly half the people use text messages to chat; a fifth begin first-dates by text messages and almost the same number end their love story by text messages.Apart from the obvious calling and texting, the top three features people use regularly on their mobile phones are the alarm clock, the camera and the games. It may also let you surf the Internet, listen to music wherever you are. Yet, owning a smart phone may not be as smart as you think. The all-singing, all-dancing mobile phones may make you addicted, especially the young. So scientists warn that people should be aware of the disadvantages they bring us.31.

During my teenage years, my dad jokingly told me that he thought I was going to be clear-sighted because I pointed at him whenever he asked me where the light was.Dad never spoiled(宠爱）me, but he did buy me nice things for my birthday. Despite my father’s busy schedule, we still spend time with each other – walking and chatting, and so on. He has always shared with my brother and me the values of living an honest life, constantly educating oneself, and praying heartily. These are, he says, stepping stones to success in anything.His father died when he was very young. To make ends meet, the family except him had to find work to survive. When he was in grade school, his mother couldn’t afford to buy him new shoes, so he would walk to school in his bare feet.

One day, when my father was 16 and out of work, a priest (牧师) saw him sitting under a tree lost in a book.

Can they helpsolve the poverty problem? They have been the subjects of a hot debate.This debate is related to increasing challenges from rising climatic change, population growth, urbanization（城镇化）, and natural resource consumption. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization, food production needs to increase by 60 percent by 2050 in order to feed 9 billion people. Scientists and policymakers are searching for effective ways to gain nutritious food, for today and future. Unlike previous agricultural methods (such as the Green Revolution), GM crops are to fight food safety and poverty challenges.The great expansion of GM crop varieties over the last two decades can be seen easily. The total area devoted to GM crops has increased 100 times from 1.7 million hectares in 1996 to 170 million hectares in 2012. Developing countries now grow more GM crops than developed countries (in terms of area), largely driven by Brazil’s rapid adoption of GM crops. China is home to about 4 percent of the total global area devoted to GM crops. Beans, corn, and cotton are main global GM crops, while China’s focus is on cotton, papaya, and poplar.Recently, a scientific study shows that GM crops are safe for people and the environment. According to a 2010 report on the safety of GM crops by the EU, “the main conclusion to be drawn from the efforts of more than 130 research projects, covering a period of more than 25 years of research, and involving more than 500 research groups, is that biology methods, are not more risky than traditional planting technologies, for example.” Other international and national scientific bodies, such as the World Health Organization, have reached the same conclusion.41.

Less GM crops in developed countries.C. Rapid adoption of GM crops in Brazil.D. The expansion of GM crop varieties of the world.44. From a recent scientific study, we can infer that______.A. traditional planting technologies are more riskyB. the safety of GM crops has been proved in many waysC. the safety of GM crops was reported by the EU in 2010D. present GM crops are safe for people and the environment45. What’s the writer’s attitude towards GM crops?A. Supportive.B. Opposed.C. Unknown.D. Indifferent.第二节信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。
