A. would
B. should
C. could

参考答案：
B
【详解】考查宾语从句中的虚拟语气。

句意：他们敦促政府坚持提前计划好的程序。

句子为一个宾语从句，且谓语动词“urged（催促）”含有强烈要求别人、命令别人做某事的意
思，所以从句应用虚拟语气（should+动词原形）。

故选B。

【点睛】在表示建议、命令、要求、忠告等动词的后面的宾语从句中，由于这些动词本身隐含说话者的主观意见，认为某事应该或不应该怎样，后面的“that”从句应用虚拟语气，形式为“should+动词原形”。

但事实上“should”常被省略，故此从句中谓语动词用原形，常用的此类动词有：表示“要求”的：ask, desire, request, demand, require, beg；表示“提议、劝告、建议”的：move, propose, suggest, recommend, advise, vote；表示“决定、命令”的：decide, order；表示“主张”的：maintain, urge；表示“同意、坚持”的：consent, insist等等。

本题中“urge”就是表示强烈要求的，所以宾语从句中从句部分应使用should+动词原形结构。

故选B。

句意：当我到达那里时，咖啡在我手中冷却，走廊是空的。

三、阅读理解
19. Ever since they were first put on the market in the early 1990s, gentically mondified (GM, 转基因) foods have been increasingly developed and marketed in many countries in the word,mainly on the basis of their promise to end the worldwide food crisis. But can GM technology solve world hunger problems? Even if it would ,is it the best solutiorr?
Despite what it promiises,GM technology actually has not increased the production potential of any corp. In fact
Studies show that the most crown GM croo.
GM soybeans, has suffered reduced productivity. For instance, a report than analysed nearly two decades of research on mojor GM food crops shows that GM engineering has failed to significantly increase US crop production.
Something else, however, has been on the rise, While GM seeds are expensive, GM companics tell farmers that they will make good profits by saving money on pesticides（杀虫剂）. On the contrary, US government data show that GM crops in the US have produced an overall increase in pesticide use compared to traditional crops. “ The promise was that you could use less chemicals and boost prod uction. But nether is true,” said Bill Christison, President of the US National Farm Coalition.
At the same time, the authors of the book World Hunger: Twelve Myths argue that there actually is more than enough food in the world and that the hunger crisis is not caused by production, but by problems in food distribution and politics. These indeed deserve our efforts and money. Meanwhile, the rise in food prices results from the increased use of crops for fuel rather than food, according to a 2008 World Bank report.
As a matter of fact ,scientists see better ways to feed the world. Another World Bank report
concluded that GM crops have little to offer to the challenges of worldwide poverty and hunger, because better ways out are available, among which “green” farming is supposed to be the first choice.
12.The author develops the second paragraph mainly .
A. by classification
B. by comparison
C. by example
D. by process
13. What does the underlined word “boost ” in the third paragraph probably mean?
A. Control.
B. Evaluate
C. Obtain.
D. Increase.
14. GM companies promise farmers that they will benefit from ______________.
A. practicing “green” farming
B. use of less chemicals
C. fair distribution of their crops
D. using more crops for fuel
15. Which of the following best describes the attitude of the author towards GM technology?
A. Optimistic
B. Defensive
C. Disapproving
D. Casual
参考答案：
12. C 13. D 14. B 15. C

20. 阅读下面短文后所给的四个选项，选出最佳选项。

It’s interesting that the arrival of snow has a different effect on people in different countries. For some countries it is an important happening to celebrate each year, while for others it is a catastrophe (灾难).
There are countries between these two extremes that normally expect snow some time over the winter months, but never receive snow regularly or in the same quantities every year. Britain is one such country, for which the arrival of snow quite simply creates
problems. Within hours of the first snowfall, however light, roads are blocked; trains and buses stop in the middle of traffic. Normal communications are affected as well, telephone calls become difficult and the post immediately takes more time than usual. Almost within hours, there are also shortages(缺乏) –bread, vegetables and other things –not because all these things can no longer be produced or sent to shops, but mainly because people are frightened, and go out to store up these commodities, “just for fear that something bad should happen.”
Why then does snow have this effect? After all, the Swiss, Austrians and Canadians don’t have such problems. It is simply because there is not enough plan and preparation. We need money to buy equipment to deal with snow and ice. To keep the roads clear, for example, requires snow ploughs and machines to spread salt. The reason why a country like Britain does not buy some ploughs is that they are only used for a few days in any one year, and the money could be more useful in other things such as hospital education or helping the old.
56. According to the writer, Britain is a country____.
A. which has regular snow
B. for which snow is a wonder
C. for which snow is not a catastrophe D . which is not well prepared for snow
57. The arrival of snow in Britain affects all of the following except____
A. traffic
B. communication
C. food supplies
D. service quality
58. After a few hours’ snowing there are often shortages of food because______
A．people buy as much as they can B．shops have closed down
C．farmers can’t produce any more D．people eat more vegetables in winter 59. The first reason why the British don’t buy snow ploughs is that______
A．spreading salt is good enough B．old people need more money
C．snow ploughs are not used often D．the hospital is more important
