In this respect, new technologies have 38 o

18、ur culture. The desire to be connected has brought solitude to a(n) 39 as weve known it. People have become so 40 in the world of networks and connections that one can often be contacted 41 theyd rather not be. Today we can talk, text, e-mail, chat and blog(寫博客), not only from our 42 , but from our

19、mobile phones as well.Most developed nations have become 43 on digital technology simply because theyve grown accustomed to it, and at this point not 44 it would make them an outsider. 45 , many jobs and careers require people to be 46 . From this point of view, technology has changed the culture of

20、 work. Being reachable might feel like a 47 to those who may not want to be able to be contacted at all times. I suppose the positive side is that solitude is still possible for anyone who 48 wants it. Computers can be shut 49 and mobile phones can be turned off. The ability to be “connected” and “o

21、n” has many 50 , as well as disadvantages. Travelers have ended up 51 on mountains, and mobile phones have saved countless lives. They can also make people feel 52 and forced to answer unwanted calls or 53 to unwanted texts. Attitudes towards our connectedness as a society 54 across generations. Som

28、sees an epidemic(流行病) sweeping across Americas farmland. It has little to do with the usual challenges, such as flood, rising fuel prices and crop-eating insects. The countrys farmers are getting older, and there are fewer people standing in line to take their place. National agricultural census(普查)

29、 figures show that the fastest-growing group of farmers is the part over 65. Merrigan is afraid the average age will be even higher when the 2012 statistics are completed.Merrigan, a former college professor, is making stops at universities across the country in hopes of encouraging more students to

30、 think about careers in agriculture. Aside from trying to stop the graying of Americas farmers, her work is made tougher by a recent blog posting that put agriculture at No. 1 on a list of “useless” college degrees. Top federal agriculture officials are talking about the posting, and it has the atte

31、ntion of agirucltural organizations across the country.“There couldnt be anyting thats more incorrect,” Merrigan said. “We know that there arent enough qualified graduates to fill the jobs that are out there in American agriculture.”In addition, a growing world population that some experts predict w

32、ill require 70% more food production by 2050, she said.“I truly believe were at a golden age of agriculture. Global demand is at an all-time record high, and global supplies are at all-time record lows,” said Matt Rush, director of the Texas Farm Bureau. “Production costs are going to be valuable en

33、ough that younger perople are going to have the opportunity to be involved in agriculture.”The Department of Agriculture has programs aimed at developing more farmers and at increasing interest in locally grown food. The National Young Farmers Coalition has also been pushing for state and federal po

34、licy changes to make it easier for new farmers.Ryan Best, president of Future Farmers of America, has been living out of a suitcase, traveling the ocuntry and visiting with high school students about careers in agriculture. The 21-year-old Best hopes his messagethat this is a new time in agriculture

35、-will motivate the enxt generation to turn around the statistics. “Never before have we had the innovations(創(chuàng)新) in technology which have led to agriculture in this country being the msot efficient it has ever been,” he said. “Theres really a place for everybody to fit in.”59. What is the new challen

36、ge to American agriculture? A. Fewer and older farmers. B. Higher fuel prices. C. More natural disasters D. Lower agricultural output.60. Why is Merrigan visiting universities across the country? A. To draw federal agriculture officials attention. B. To select qualified agriculture graduates. C. To

37、clarify a recent blog posting. D. To talk more students into farming careers.61.

38、ll be profitableD. America will increase its food export62. What do the underlined words “to turn around the statistics” in the last paragraph mean? A. To re-analyze the result of the national census. B. To increase agricultural production.C. To bring down the average age of farmers.D. To invest mor

39、e in agriculture.C.Meddical drugs sometimes cause more damage than they cure. One solution to this problem is toput the drugs inside a capsule, protecting them from the bodyand the body from themuntil they can be released at just the right spot. There are lots of ways to trigger(引發(fā)) this release, in

40、cluding changing temperature, acidity, and so on. But triggers can come with their own risks- burns, for example. Now, researchers in Califonia have designed what could be a harmless trigger to date: shining near-infrared light (NIR，近紅外錢) on the drug in the capsule.The idea of suing light to liberat

41、e the drug in the capsule isnt new. Researchers around the globe have developed polymers(聚合物) and other materials that begin to break down when they absorb either ultraviolet(UV，紫外線) or visible light. But tissues also readilyabsorb UV and visible light, which emans the drug release can be triggered

42、only near the skin, where the light can reach the capsule. NIR light largely passes through tissues, so researchers have tried to use it as a trigger. But few compounds(化合物) absorb NIR well and go thourh chemical changes.That changed last year when Adah Almutairi, a chemist at the Unviersity of Cali

43、fornia, San Diego, reported that she and her colleagues had designed a polymer that breaks down when it absorbs NIR light. Their polymer used a commercially available NIR-absorbing group called o-nitroberizyl(ONB). When they catch the light, ONB groups fall off the polymer, leading to its breakdown.

44、 But ONB is only a so-so NIR absorber, and it could be poisonous to cells when it separates from the polymer.So Almutairi and her colleagues reported creating a new material for capsules that;s even better. This one consists of a long chain fo compounds called cresol groups linked in a polymer. Cres

45、ol contains reactive(易反應(yīng)的) components that make it highly unstable in its polymeric form, a feature Almutairi and her colleagues use to their advantage. After polymerizing the cresols, they cap each reactive component with a light-absorbing compound called Bhc. When the Bhcs absorb NIR light, the re

46、active component with a light-absorbing compound called Bhc. When the Bhcs absorb NIR light, the reactive groups are exposed and break the long polymer into two short chains. Shining additional light continues this breakdown, potentially releasing any drugs in the capsule. Whats more, Almutairi says

47、, Bhc is 10 times better at absorbing NIR than is ONB and is not poisonous to cells.63. According to the passage, which of the following could be the best trigger? A. Temperature change B. NIR light. C. Acidity change. D. UV light.64. Why is ONB unsatisfactory? A. It breaks down when it absorbs NIR

48、light. B. It falls off the polymer and triggers drug release. C. It has not come onto the market up till now. D. It is not effective enough and could be poisonous.65. Which word can be used to compete the following process of changes?Bhcs absorb NIR.Part of the cresol is _Polymer breaks down. Drug i

49、s released. A. protected B. formed C. exposed D. combinedD.Franz Kafka wrote that “a book must be the ax(斧子) for the frozen sea inside us.” I once shared this sentence with a class of seventh graders, and it didnt seem to require any explanation.Wed just jinished John Steinbecks novel Of Mice and Me

50、n. When we read the end together out loud in class, my toughest boy, a star basketball player, wept a little, and so did I. “Are you crying?” one girl asked, as she got out of her chair to take a closer look. “I am,” I told her, “and the funny thing is Ive read it many times.” But they understood. W

51、hen George shoots Lennie, the tragedy is that we realize it was always going to happen. In my 14 years of teaching in a New York City public middle school, Ive taught kids with imprisoned parents, abusive parents, irresponsible parents; kids who are parents themselves; kids who are homeless; kids wh

52、o grew up in violent neighborhoods. They understand, more than I ever will, the novels terrible logicthe giving way of dreams to fate (命運(yùn)).For the last seven yers, I have worked as a reading enrichment teacher, reading classic works of lieterature with small groups of students from grades six to eig

53、ht. I originally proposed this idea to my headmaster after learning that a former excellent student of mine had transferred out of a selective high school - one that often attracts the literary-minded children of Manhattens upper classes-into a less competitive setting. The daughter of immigrants, w

54、ith a father in prison, she perhaps felt uncomfortable with her new classmates. I thought additional “cultural capital” could help students like her develop better in high school, where they would unavoidably meet, perhaps for the first time, students who came from homes lined with bookshelves, whos

55、e parents had earned PH. D.s. Along with Of Mice and Men, my groups read: Sounder, The Red Pony, Lord of the Flies, Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth. The students didnt always read from the sxpected point of view. About The Red Pony, one student said, “its about being a man, its about manliness.” I had

56、never before seen the parallels between Scarface and Macbeth, nor had I heard Lady Macbeths soliloquies(獨(dú)白) read as raps(說唱), but both made sense; the interpretations were playful, but serious. Once introduced to Steinbechs writing, one boy went on to read The Grapes of Wrath and told me repeatedly how amazing
