三、阅读题（每小题3分）

It is the world's fourth-most-important food crop, after maize, wheat and rice. It provides more calories, more quickly, using less land and in a wider range of climates than any other plant. It is, of course, the potato.

The United Nations has hoped that greater awareness of the merits of potatoes will contribute to the achievement of its Millennium Development Goals, by helping to reduce poverty and promote economic development.

The potato promoted economic development by supporting the Industrial Revolution in England in the 19th century. It provided a cheap source of calories and was easy to cultivate, so it liberated workers from the land. Potatoes became popular in the north of England, as people there specialized in livestock farming and domestic industry, while farmers in the south concentrated on wheat production. By a happy accident, the concentrated industrial activity in the regions where coal was readily available, and a potato-driven population boom provided ample workers for the new factories. Friedrich Engels even declared that the potato was the equal of iron for its " historically revolutionary role".

In the form of French fries, served alongside burgers and Coca-Cola, potatoes are now a symbol of globalization. This is quite a change given the skepticism which first greeted them on their arrival in the Old World in the 16th century. They were variously thought to be fit only for animals, to be associated with the devil or to be poisonous. They took hold in 18th- century Europe only when war and famine meant there was nothing else to eat； people then realized just how useful and reliable they were. As Adam Smith, one of the potato's many admirers, observed at the time, "The very general use which is made of potatoes in these kingdoms as food for man is a convincing proof that the prejudices of a nation, with regard to diet, however deeply rooted, are by no means unconquerable.n Mashed, fried, boiled and roast, a humble potato changed the world, and people everywhere should celebrate it.

31.Friedrich Engels's words show that he _____.

A.thought highly of the potato

B.took the potato too seriously

C.underestimated the role of the potato

D.lacked the basic knowledge of the potato

答案：A

32.Europeans began to eat potatoes in the 18th century because _____.

A.there was a serious food shortage

B.they realized that potatoes tasted good

C.food safety had been greatly improved

D.eating potatoes had become fashionable

答案：A

33.The best title for the passage is “_____”.

A.the Potato's New Mission

B.In Praise of the Potato

C.The History of the Potato

D.The Potato and Globalization

答案：B

四、翻译题（每小题10分）

34.Too frequently, students seem to take for granted their right, or even their access, to interviews and to jobs needed to begin their careers. Such optimism can no longer be justified. Ten years ago, graduating students were warned that continued employment in one field for one company for one's entire working life was increasingly becoming a thing of the past. Students could expect three or four career shifts.Today, many college or university graduates will never have the chance even to begin careers in their chosen fields. Others may find only part-time or contract work. The last decade has produced enormous changes in the way business and industry operate in North America, and in the ways in which people are employed.

答案：通常学生想当然地认为他们有权接受（甚至是有机会）面试、有权就业来开始他们的职业生涯。他们认为这些都是理所当然的。这种乐观的想法已经过时了。10年前，就有人警告大学毕业生要想终身在一家公司从事同一领域的工作已经越来越不可能了。一个学生一生可能会换三至四次工作。而今许多大专院校毕业生将不会从事他们本专业的工作。有些人可能只能找到非全日工作或合同制工作。在过去的3年中，北美工商企业的运营发生了巨大的变化，包括用人方式。

五、写作题

35.Directions:You are to write in no less than 120 words about the title “Green Transportation”. You should base your composition on the outline given in Chinese below:（15分）

（1）你怎样理解绿色出行。

（2）你会选择哪种绿色方式。

（3）你的理由。

答案：Recently the topic of green travel has been widely debated which has aroused public attention. Undoubtedly, green travel has a profound impact on both environment and social, for its significance cannot be denied.

What is Green travel? It is a big question and it may reach out to different dimensions of environmental problems. Briefly, green travel means producing less pollution while you are on your way. The green ways of travelling includes walking, bicycling, public transportation, etc. For me, I will choose public transportation. On one hand, public transport helps to reduce transport emissions, which means less air pollution and smog. On the other hand, public transport also alleviate traffic jam and thus speed up the pace of life.

Let's do our bits of efforts to improve the life we live!
