Norman E Borlaug, 95, an American plant pathologist who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970 for starting the “Green Revolution” tha t increased food production in developing nations and saved millions of people from starvation, died on Saturday September 12, 2009 at his home in Dallas.
“He has helped provide bread for a hungry world,” the Nobel committee said in honor of him. “Dr Borla ug has introduced a dynamic factor(动态因素)into our assessment of the future of food and its potential.”
Dr Borlaug was hardly known in the country of his birth, the USA. But in India, Mexico, Russia and other nations with hunger and famine(饥荒), he was known as one of the great Americans of modem times. Edwin Price, director of the Norman Borlaug Institute for International Agriculture at Texas A&M University, once accompanied Dr Borlaug to Russia, where he visited a wheat research institute south of Moscow. “When Norman came in,” Price said, “the scientists at the institute all cried.”
From the 1970s until his death, he increasingly took the politically incorrect view that environmentalists were bothering world food production by attacking the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides (农药).
Dr Borlaug's career included his ability of science to increase food production at a high rate and the nightmare(噩梦)of an exploding population beyond its ability to feed itself His work took him
from the Iowa farm where he grew up to the primitively planted wheat fields of Mexico in the 1940s, the rice fields of Asia in the 1960s and 1970s to the plains of Africa in the 1980s.
In his lecture accepting the Nobel Prize, he said an enough supply of food is “the first term of social justice... Otherwise th ere will be no peace.” He warned that the world would have too many mouths to feed.
51. Norman E Borlaug died in _______.
A. In 1914
B. In 1960

D. In 2009

B. In India.
C. In the USA.
D. In Russia.

The Oprah Winfrey Show added Chen Luyu to its list of famous co-hosts from around the world when the two talk show queens hooked up via satellite for the first time on Aug 26, 2009. “I was on Oprah’s talk show because the world is focusing on China.” says Chen, who was the first Asian host invited by Winfrey.
Chen took Winfrey and her US audience on a tour through her office, studio and dressing room as well as offering a special guided tour around Beijing's famous Houhai area and the capital's popular 798 art district. Winfrey was surprised about Chen's most memorable interviews including HIV victims and lesbian couples.
“Chinese people have a wide understanding about Western countries, but it is not the other way around, which causes misunderstanding,” Chen says. “I have interviewed more than 3000 guests who come from various classes and working backgrounds. They tell their stories and my audience shows great respect.”
Known as “China’s Oprah”, the 39-year-old TV personality decided to model her show, A Date With Luyu,on the Winfrey's popular s how after visiting the US more than a decade ago. “It is flattering to be called China’s Oprah, which means people say ‘you are really good’,” she says, “I am curious and ask some tough questions. But I tend to be protective of my guests. If they don’t wan t to answer those questions, that’s fine.” Over the past 10 years of being a public face in a rapidly changing China, she has gone from interviewing celebrities(名流)to talking with people from all walks of life.
Her guests share their story with a live audience of 300 and a viewing audience of more than 60 million every day. “It has become more than a show,” Chen says, “Chinese audience tend to be shy. I cannot ex pect my viewers to act like those on Oprah's show, who would shout and scream,” she says, “but Chinese audience can respond to the interviewees' stories and show me their smiles and tears.”
Chen's daily chat show is on Phoenix satellite television station, the first foreign-funded station to be beamed into the mainland. Winfrey was surprised by Chen5s high ratings and expressed a desire to visit China and be a guest on Chen's talk show. “The cooperation enables Western
audiences to know more about China. And I think that Chinese talk shows can be as spirited as any other country’s” Chen says.
55. Where did Chen Luyu co-host the Oprah Winfrey show?
A. In the satellite.
B. In Hong Kong.
C. In the USA.
D. In Beijing.
56. In paragraph 4, t he underlined word “flattering” means being _______.
A. looked up to
B. thought highly of
C. looked down upon
D. made fun of
57. From the passage, we can infer _______.
A. westerners seem not to know much about China.
B. in A Date With Luyu, Chen mainly interviews famous people.
C. Chinese audience often shout and scream while watching the talk show.
D. Phoenix satellite television station is the first to be beamed into the mainland.
58. The passage mainly talks about _______.
A. how Chinese people like the Oprah Winfrey Show.
B. the difference between Chinese and American talk show.
C. the two talk show queens co-host talk show for the first time.

In Europe, small cars have always been more popular than large cars. In the United States, large cars and midsize cars are more popular than small cars. As a result, European automakers used to make a wider variety of compact(小型的)cars while American automakers used to build bigger, heavier cars. However, these days, automakers in both America and Europe produce cars of different sizes. This is because most automakers export their cars all over the world.
The price of gasoline (汽油)is one reason for differences in automobile preferences. Since gasoline is more expensive in Europe, many Europeans want smaller, lighter cars that will travel a long way on a gallon of gas. This increased gas mileage makes the cars more economical to run.
Other reasons also enter into the big or little car decision. Many old cities have narrow, winding streets. In these cities a small car is easier to drive than a large one.
For a long time, few Americans bought small cars. Instead, they chose large cars, because these roomy cars were more comfortable for large families and long trips. Some people also liked the powerful engines that large cars had. Since gasoline was cheap, drivers did not mind that the large cars used a lot of gas.
But in the 1970s, there were gas shortages in the United States. The price of gas went up. Though large cars were still more popular than small cars, sales of small cars that used less gas increased. Some people also bought small cars because these cars caused less air pollution than large cars.
Today, Americans' car preferences are still changing. Though Americans are still buying many small cars, the fastest growing sales are for certain kinds of large cars. These types of cars are called minivans (微型客货车)and sport utility (多用途的)vehicles. They are very popular today. But of course, that could change tomorrow.
59. From this passage we know that cities in Europe often have _______.
A. Heavier cars
B. Less gasoline
C. No air pollution
D. Narrow, winding streets
60. Why did Americans choose large cars?
A. Because their powerful engines caused less air pollution.
B. Because they had enough space for large families.
C. Because it was necessary for a long trip.
D. Because they used a lot of gas.
61. The phrase “gas mileage” in paragraph 2 refers to the distance _______.
A. a car has travelled since it was made.
B. that is covered by a country’s roads or railways.
C. a car can travel using a particular amount of energy.
D. someone travels in a car in a particular period of time.
62. According to this passage, which of the following statements is true?
A. No large cars are sold in Europe.
B. Small cars are not expensive to run.
C. Most American buy European cars.
D. The price of energy-saving small cars dropped.

A policeman is asking three men who are training to become detectives. To test their skills in recognizing a suspect, he shows the first man a picture for five seconds and then hides it. “This is your suspect. How would you recognize him?”
The man answers, “That’s easy, we’ll catch him fast because he has only one eye!”
The policeman says, “Sir! That’s because the picture I showed you is his profile.”
Then the policeman flashes the picture for five seconds at the second man and asks him, “This is your suspect. How would you recognize him?”
The second man smiles and says, “Ha! He’d be too easy to catch because he has only one ear!”
The policeman angrily responds, “What's the matter with you two? Of course only one eye and one ear are showing, because it’s a picture of his profile! Is that the best answer you can come up with?”
Extremely disappointed at this point, he shows the picture to the third man and in a very testy voice asks, “This is your suspect. How would you recognize him?”
The man looks at the picture carefully for a moment and says, “The suspect wears contact lenses (隐形眼镜).” The policeman is quite surprised because he really doesn’t know whether the suspect wears contact lenses. “Well, that’s an interesting answer,” he says. “Wait here for a few minutes while I check his information and I’ll get back to you on that.”
He leaves the room, goes to his office, checks the suspect’s information in his computer, and comes back smiling. “Wow! I can’t believe it. It’s true! The suspect does in fact wear contact lenses. Good work! How were you able to make such a good observat ion?”
“That’s easy,” the man replies. “He can’t wear regular glasses because he has only one eye and one ear.”
63. Why does the policeman ask the three men the question?
A. He suspects them.

Some people act sick to get out of work. Others act sick to get work. For medical actors like Ted Bell, the stage is an examination room with a future doctor, nurse or others health care professional.
Mr. Bell is playing a 55-year-old patient with stomach pains that began three months ago. He is also playing a teacher. But in a way he really does teach. He helps students like Emily Tyrrell at the University of Maryland School of Nursing learn to work with patients.
In real life, Mr. Bell is a retired civil engineer. He now works as what is known as a “standardized (标准化的)patient”. He stays busy working at local medical schools. About 700 standardized patients work in the area. Pay starts at 17 dollars an hour. It can go as high as 35 dollars an hour depending on the project.
Becoming a standardized patient does not require medical knowledge. The schools provide the training. Nor does it require acting experience. In fact, standardized patient Tom Wyatt is a professional actor —— yet he does not even think of his work with the students as acting.
Standardized patients spend hours training for each of their “performances”. They have to remember the medical history of the person they are playing and be able to answer questions as if they were really sick. Tom Wyatt says remembering all the patients he has to play and their conditions can be difficult.
After each session (学期)the standardized patients talk to the students to discuss their performance, that is, the performance of the students.
Kurt Haspert is studying to become a nurse practitioner (护理师). He said,“It is always good to do the standardized patients because it keeps you thinking about how your thought process has to go, and how you can narrow down your differential diagnosis while you’re asking questions.”
The actors enjoy it too. Retired engineer Ted Bell says the students find the experience very helpful, and that makes him feel good.
67. What is Mr. Bell doing at present?
A. Playing ball sports.
B. Studying medicine.
C. Working as a future doctor.
D. Acting as a patient.
68. Before he retired, Mr. Bell was a _______.
A. civil engineer
B. part-time teacher.
C. professional doctor
D. standardized patient
69. From the passage we can infer that in order to become a standardized patient,_______.
A. one must receive some training.
B. medical knowledge must be needed.
C. acting experience must be needed.
D. one must have been a professional actor.
70. From the last paragraph we know that _______.
A. the actors aren't satisfied with their work.
B the students benefits a lot by working with the “actors”
C. Ted Bell thinks his job helpless.
D. the students and the “actors” feel sorry for each other.

As we all know, we are what we eat. Therefore, healthy eating is of great significance in our successful life.
It was not until I witnessed my classmate Wanghui that I realized how important it is to keep a healthy diet. Wanghui is a distinguished student in my class and always highly spoken of by our teachers. However, faced with the pressure of the national college entrance examination, she had been working hard. Sometimes, she even went to school without breakfast or lunch. Day by day, she got weaker and weaker, resulting in her feeling sleepy in class. Yesterday, it’s a pity that she should fail in the English exam. To make matters worse, she was diagnosed with a terrible disease and had to stay in hospital for treatment.
From the above example concerning with Wanghui, we may safely draw a conclusion that only if we keep a balanced diet will we have a healthy body to achieve our goals.。
