填空题Choose the correct headings.(15 points) The following passage has six paragraphs A -F. Choose the correct heading for each paragraph from the list of headings below. Note there are more headings than paragraphs, so you will not use them all. Write the correct number a —h in blanks 1-5. List of Headings a. Vanishing topsoil influences farm productivities. b. Water is being polluted by chemical fertilizers. c. Advantages and disadvantages of fuel produced from crop residues. d. Negative environmental effects were incurred by subsidies. e. Environmental damages were even worsened by government policies. f. Fertilizer use is recommended in some countries. g. A modest cut in subsidies is adopted in some countries. h. Removal of certain subsidies achieves some positive results.Example Answer Paragraph A d A All these activities may have damaging environmental impacts. For example, land clearing for agriculture is the largest single cause of deforestation; chemical fertilizers and pesticides may contaminate water supplies; more intensive farming and the abandonment of fallow periods tend to exacerbate soil erosion; and the spread of monoculture and use of high-yielding varieties of crops have been accompanied by the disappearance of old varieties of food plants which might have provided some insurance against pests or diseases in future. B Soil erosion threatens the productivity of land in both rich and poor countries. The United States, where the most careful measurements have been done, discovered in 1982 that about one-fifth of its farmland was losing topsoil at a rate likely to diminish the soil"s productivity. The country subsequently embarked upon a program to convert 11 percent of its cropped land to meadow or forest. Topsoil in India and China is vanishing much faster than in America. C Government policies have frequently compounded the environmental damage that farming can cause. In the rich countries, subsidies for growing crops and price supports for farm output drive up the price of land. The annual value of these subsidies is immense:about $250 billion, or more than all World Bank lending in the 1980s. To increase the output of crops per acre, a farmer"s easiest option is to use more of the most readily available inputs; fertilizers and pesticides. Fertilizer use doubled in Denmark in the period 1960 - 1985 and increased in The Netherlands by 150 percent. The quantity of pesticides applied has risen too; by 69 percent in 1975 - 1984 in Denmark, for example, with a rise of 115 percent in the frequency of application in the three years from 1981. D In the late 1980s and early 1990s some efforts were made to reduce farm subsidies. The most dramatic example was that of New Zealand, which scrapped most farm support in 1984. A study of the environmental effects, conducted in 1993, found that the end of fertilizer subsidies had been followed by a fall in fertilizer use(a fall compounded by the decline in world commodity prices, which cut farm incomes). The removal of subsidies also stopped land-clearing and over-stocking, which in the past had been the principal causes of erosion. Farms began to diversify. The one kind of subsidy whose removal appeared to have been bad for the environment was the subsidy to manage soil erosion. E In less enlightened countries, and in the European Union, the trend has been to reduce rather than eliminate subsidies, and to introduce new payments to encourage farmers to treat their land in environmentally friendlier ways, or to leave it fallow. It may sound strange but such payments need to be higher than the existing incentives for farmers to grow food crops. Farmers, however, dislike being paid to do nothing. In several countries they have become interested in the possibility of using fuel produced from crop residues either as a replacement for petrol(as ethanol)or as fuel for power stations(as biomass). Such fuels produce far less carbon dioxide than coal or oil, and absorb carbon dioxide as they grow. F They are therefore less likely to contribute to the greenhouse effect. But they are rarely competitive with fossil fuels unless subsidized—and growing them does no less environmental harm than other crops.

填空题Text 2 [A] Thinks positively. [B] Knows that principles are more important than rules. [C] Possesses a sense of humor. [D] Communicates facts that are hard to take. [E] Cares for others and their well-being. [F] Has integrity and authenticity. Much has been written about the tasks of leaders and the skills required for leadership. There has been considerable debate about the question of whether leaders are born or made. Likely behind these arguments is the difference between personal characteristics that some people have at birth and skills that one can acquire through education and practice. But the important personal characteristics, while they may seem innate in some people, can be cultivated, and indeed, require cultivation in all of us. For unless they are strengthened through conscious attention and cultivation, they can, for example, easily be forgotten or ignored in the frenzy of activity often associated with leadership. What are some of these characteristics? One could make many lists, but here are five personal traits that seem especially important. A good leader:

填空题Translate the following passage into English. 《清明上河图》描绘的是北宋都城汴京在清明时节的繁华热闹的景象。清明上河是当时的民间风俗,如像今天的节日集会,人们藉以参加商贸活动。全图规模宏大,结构严谨,大致分为三个段落:第一段是市郊景画,第二段是汴河,第三段是城内街市。 先是汴京郊外的景象。农民在田里耕作,有钱人扫墓归来。路上,驮队、挑夫、骑马坐轿的人物正匆匆进城。接下去是最精彩的部分——汴河。汴河上的拱桥如一道彩虹,桥上行人如潮,熙熙攘攘,磨肩擦踵,桥下舟楫相竞相争。许多细小情节刻化得极有情趣。如桥头一匹惊马造成险情,毛驴被惊吓,好奇的人在围观。 接着又描绘汴河的街市。汴京作为当时政治、经济、文化的中心,城中官府衙门、民居宅院、作坊店铺、茶肆酒楼,屋宇错落,林林总总,街上车水马龙,九流三教,应有尽有,百业兴隆,热闹非凡。画面又展开一幅从容的景象,有张有弛,形成有趣的对比和节奏感。画家通过对汴京城内建筑、商贸、交通、运输几个方面的描绘,再现了北宋都城的繁华和发达。
