In four countries with fast-developing economies (BRIC) – Brazil, Russia, India, and China –the agricultural sector has become a proving ground for innovation. Juergen Voegele, a World Bank agriculture expert, predicts that “by transformin g agriculture,
we will not only meet the challenge of feeding nine billion people
by 2050 but do so in ways that create wealth and reduce its
environmental footprint.”
BRAZIL
Soybeans on the Rise
Preserving the Amazon rain forest is a top priority for Brazil.
The rapid expansion of soybean and cattle farming there during the 1990s and early 2000s led to alarming rates of deforestation. Over the past ten years, however, with government support, activists and famers have protected more than 33,000 square miles of rain forest – an area equal to more than 14 million soccer fields. Saving these forests has kept 3.5 billion tons of carbon dioxide out of atmosphere.
Yet even under these land restrictions, Brazil’s soybean production has increased. The country is n ow the world’s second largest producer of the crop. How did this happen?
Farmers focused on efficiency. Using new machinery and early maturing seeds enabled them to squeeze an additional planting into the standard growing season. According to the U.S. Depa rtment of Agriculture, Brazil’s 2014-15 soybean crop has hit a record 104.2 million tons, up 8.6 million tons from the year before, as farmers have made better use of their fields. This progress, says the World Bank’s Juergen Voegele, is an example of how “producing more food coexist with protecting the environment.”
60. According to Juergen Voegele, innovation in agriculture will lead to all the following except ___________.
A. increased wealth
B. the solution to the world’s food crisis
C. less impact on nature
D. the challenging of feeding the world’s population
61. Which one is the appropriate number to fill in the blank in the chart?
A. 95.6
B. 104.2
C. 14
D. 8.6
62. What is the most important problem Brazil is faced with?
A. Feeding nine billion people by 2050.
B. Increasing its soybean production.
C. Protecting its rain forest from deforestation.
D. Enhancing its farmers’ efficiency.

(B)
The first animals on earth were never able to achieve much in the world because they lived in the sea, which provided limited oxygen, and they had no backbone. For ages there were many kinds of these animals living in the sea and on land. They differed widely from each other and included such creatures as insects and worms. They had no brain, and therefore none of these animals without a backbone has ever been of much importance. They are wonderfully made but differ so widely that it is really impossible to arrange them in a simple order. However, those who study the different kinds of backboned animals find they can all be arranged in a simple way. More importantly, it is possible to show which class evolved first, which last, and so on.
The five great classes of backboned animals are: fishes, amphibian, reptiles, birds and mammals. A common amphibian is the frog which is able to live in water and on land. A mammal
feeds its young by giving milk. There are very great differences between a fish, a frog, a horse, a bird and a man; yet they all have a backbone.
A great step was taken when some creatures swam ashore. Perhaps it all began when the frog developed. Even today, a baby frog, the tadpole, begins as a fish, having gills (鳃),but then becomes
a frog with lungs. The frog even develops feet and hands similar to ours in
bone structure. Ages ago the first frog laid down the plan of the kind of
limbs(肢）which all backboned animals, including humans, have bad, though
some of them, like the bird, do not keep this kind of five-fingered limb all
their lives.
When the frog has grown from a tadpole to a backboned animal with four limbs, breathing air by means of lungs, it is very like certain of the next class of backboned animals-- the reptiles. The larger reptiles living on earth for many year ago were dinosaurs. Some of the smaller ones grew stretches of skin between their outspread fingers to form wings. We do know, from fessilized (化石的）remains, that the first birds were flying reptiles with sharp teeth. What a strange world it must have been during these times!
59. The author believes that animals without backbones __________.
A. had no brain so they did not survive
B. were difficult to classify
C. have been important creatures
D. are easily placed in order of arrival
60. From the article we can know ___________.
A. animals had a backbone but no brain
B. insects came from worms
C. animals came from insects
D. the time order of species
61. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
A. The first bird developed from a flying fish.
B. The horse belongs to the amphibian family.
C. The hand of a frog has four fingers and a thumb.
D. All the animals have got backbones inside their body.
62. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. How Backboned Animals Evolved
B. How to Classify All Living Things
C. The Life Cycle of a Frog
D. How the First Bird Flew

For centuries, mankind and dogs have suffered from a
communication failure. We can tell dogs what we want
them to do and sometimes they comply, but we’ve always
struggled when it comes to understanding the true meaning
of their barks and whimpers. There is exciting news now - a dog translator called body harness (see the picture) has been invented to help you communicate with your furry friend.
HOW IT WORKS
●The platform itself is a harness that fits comfortably onto the dog, and which is equipped with
a variety of technologies.
●Wireless sensors can determine when they’re sitting, standing, running, etc, even when
they’re out of sight.
●The team developed software to collect, interpret and communicate those data, and to
translate human requests into signals on the harness through speakers and vibrating motors. WHAT’S FOR
✧The harness could be used to train pets, guide dogs and other working animals.
✧Sensors on the harness monitor the dog’s heart rate and body temperature.
✧The sensor-packed harness can sense the a nimal’s movement, and the sounds it makes,
letting the owner knows how they feel.
✧Speakers and vibrating pads in the harness also allow owners to “talk back” to their animals.
✧The harness is also intended for dogs involved in search and rescue and other front-line work.
60. The word “comply” in the first paragraph probably means “________”.
A. shout
B. obey
C. disappear
D. attack
61. Which of the following is NOT the intention of the harness?
A. To create a better communication between dogs and human.
B. To enable the dogs to do demanding jobs.
C. To transfer human thoughts to the dogs by means of technology.
D. To monitor dog’s communicative behaviors.
62. Which of the following can best express the main idea of the passage?
A. New platform: for better performances of dogs.
B. Harness: a two-way communication device.
C. Dog care: a completely new way possible.
D. Technology: toward healthier life of dogs.

Prices determine how resources are to be used. They are also the means by which products and services that are in limited supply are shared among buyers. The price system of the United States is a very complex network composed of the prices of all the products bought and sold in the economy as well as those of a myriad (无数）of services, including labor, professional transportation, and public-utility services. The interrelationship of all those prices makes up the “system” of prices. The price of any particular product or service is linked to a broad, complicated system of prices in which everything seems to depend more or less upon everything else.。
