Sustainable development is applied to just about everything from energy to clean water and

economic growth, and as a result it has become difficult to question either the basic assumptions behind it or the way the concept is put to use. This is especially 16 in agriculture, where sustainable development is often taken 17__ the only measure of progress without a proper appreciation of historical and cultural perspectives. To start with, it is important to remember that the 18 of agriculture has changed greatly throughout history, and will 19__ to do so. Medieval （中世纪的）agriculture in northern Europe fed, clothed and sheltered a mainly rural society with a much 20 population density(密度) than it is today. It had minimal 21__ on biodiversity, and any pollution it caused was typically localized. In _22 of energy use and the nutrients captured in the product it was _23__ inefficient.

What ’s more, demand for animal products in developing countries is growing so fast that 24 it will require an extra 300 million tons of grain a year by 2050. Yet the growth of cities and industry is reducing the amount of water 25__ for agriculture in many regions. All this means that 26 in the 21st century will have to be very different from 27__ it

was in the 20th. This will require radical thinking. For example, we need to move away from the idea that traditional 28__ are inevitably more sustainable than new ones. We also need to 29__ the idea that agriculture can be “zero imp act”. The key will be to abandon the rather simple and static measures of sustainability, which 30__ the need to maintain production without increasing 31 . Instead we need a more flexible interpretation, 32__ that looks at the pros and cons of all

the various way land is used. There are many different ways to measure agricultural performance besides food production: energy use, environmental costs, water purity, carbon footprint and biodiversity. It is clear, for example, 33__ the carbon of transporting tomatoes from Spain to the UK is less than that of producing them in the UK with additional heating and lighting. But we do not know 34__ lowe r carbon footprints will always be better for biodiversity.

What is crucial is recognizing that 35__ agriculture is not just about sustainable food

production.

20. A. greater B. less C. lower D. larger

21. A. result B. affect C. effect D. ending

22. A. case B. terms C. honor D. view

A

Some 60％ of workers say they intend to leave their jobs when the economy improves，according to a survey by Right Management，a talent and career management consulting firm in Philadelphia．It might be tempting to give the boss an earful if you land a new job in the coming months．But the way you quit can have a long term impact on your career．How to resign on good terms：

Be prepared．

Review your employee handbook or employment contract before announcing your decision，so you know what company policy is regarding resignations，severance，the return of company property and pay for unused vacation time．Also，find out the company's reference policy to see what information will be disclosed to a prospective employer．If you have another job lined up，be sure to have your offer in writing before you resign．

Make an appointment．

‘Be formal and m ake an appointment with your boss，’ recommends Tanya Maslach，a San Diego，Calif.，career expert who specializes in relationship management issues．‘Pre pare what you want to say．Be direct but be engaging，’ Ms．Maslach says．She also recommends offering to help make the transition easier；ask your boss how you can best do that．

Don't take the stapler（订书机）．

‘I t's not worth it，’ says Mr．Goldfarb．‘If t here are security cameras or coworkers with a grudge，stealing from the company doesn't look good.’ In some cases，you could also end up getting billed for the missing equipment or even taken to court，he says．

Scrub your digital footprint．

Clear your browser cache，remove passwords to Web sites you use from work，such as your personal email or online bank account and delete any personal files on your work computer that aren't relevant to work．Don't delete anything work related if you're required to keep it．

Stay close．

Consider joining an employee alumni association，which often serves as a networking group for former employees．It can be a good way to keep up with changes in the company and industry and find leads to new jobs down the road．Keep in touch with coworkers you worked closely with；they may end up in management roles．

36.What does the underlined sentence mean in the first paragraph？

A. say something grateful to your boss

B. speak something angrily to your boss

C. give something useful to your boss

D. talk patiently to your boss

37. Why is it suggested not to take the stapler when leave from the office？

A. A stapler is not as valuable as other things in the office．

B.

Security cameras are there and you are easy to be caught． C.

You will be put into prison if you are found doing so．

D. It will bring you a bad effect on your further working career．

B

You are a German living in Berlin．One day you're walking down the street，minding your own business，when suddenly a stranger approached with a smile on his face．After stopping you，he holds a small electronic device close to his face and speaks slowly into it，saying，in English：“Can you tell me where I can buy some sauerkraut？” What should you do？（a）Run away；（b）Call the police；or，（c）Listen closely for the device to say，in German，“Konnen Sie mir bitte sager，Sauerkraut Kaufen Kann？”

The most appropriate response would be（c）because the person in front of you is only a tourist trying to enjoy himself．The device is said to be the world's first portable translator — a hand-held microcomputer that at the same time converts one spoken language into another．The four-pound battery-operated product is called the V oice，and it is the creation of Advanced Products and Technologies，an American electronics company．When the V oice is introduced in the United States in late April —at a price of $1，500 —it will be capable of converting spoken English into Italian，German，French and Spanish．The product comes with separate cartridge（s盒式储存器）for each of the four languages，which can be changed when the user travels from one country to another．The item will be sold in Europe soon after the U.S．introduction，with cartridges that covert Italian，German，French and Spanish into English．The V oice uses a microchip（微型芯片）and artificial intelligence to translate languages．It is started by voice command and produces voice output through a built-in speaker．When the user makes a statement or asks a question，the V oice immediately repeats what has been said in another language．

38. The stranger holding the V oice seems to be ．

A. asking for some information

B. greeting the German

C. amusing himself

D. practising his German

39. The German sentence “Konnen Sie mir bitte sager，Sauerkraut Kaufen Kann？” means

．

A. “Why don't you ask the policeman？”

B. “Would you listen closely for the device to say？”

C. “Can you say it again，please？”

D. “Can you tell me where I can buy some sauerkraut？”

40. Which of the following is NOT true？

A. The Voice is an invention of an electronics company．

B. The Voice is a hand-held translator．

C. The Voice is a new product in wide use．

D. The Voice is mainly a microcomputer．

41. The V oice can translate ．

A. from German into any of the other four languages mentioned

B. from and into English by using the same cartridges

C. between any two of the above-mentioned languages

D. from English into any of the other four languages or the other way round

C

For 11 months of every year，I am，without doubt，a dedicated lover of shopping．During my lunch breaks，you'll often find me wandering through a nearby department store，sandwich in hand．On the weekends，I'll likely be perusing the stalls of my local markets and fairs．This coming December，however，it's an entirely different story．The time of year generally associated with merriment and cheer can be incredibly stressful．

From buying Christmas presents to ransacking grocery stores in preparation for family gatherings，December is a month that traditionally involves spending a lot of time and money in overcrowded shopping centers and supermarkets．

Mesmerized by the promise of dramatic price reductions，some people start queuing up outside stores the night before sales even begin．

This year，during the US' post-Thanksgiving “Black Friday” sales，20 were injured after a woman，desperate for a discounted Xbox video game，squirted pepper spray inside a Wal-Mart．It's madness like this that has now driven me to the world of online shopping．Not only can I avoid having my personal space invaded by hordes of crazed shoppers，but nowadays，most brands and online stores offer their own sales and special deals．

Say goodbye to human stampedes and bad department store Muzak．

While websites like https://www.wendangku.net/doc/628735759.html, are great for general items and secondhand goods，the Internet now offers a huge variety of specialty stores．

For clothes and accessories，https://www.wendangku.net/doc/628735759.html,（UK）and https://www.wendangku.net/doc/628735759.html,（US）are personal favorites．Both of these offer a range of great designers，discounted prices and free worldwide shipping．

In terms of brand-name makeup and beauty products，https://www.wendangku.net/doc/628735759.html,（US）is my go-to site，with its comprehensive collection and heavily reduced prices．

When shopping online，it's important to stick to secure websites so be sure to read the privacy and security policies before making any purchases．

When paying，I prefer using third party services，like those provided by Pay Pal，to ensure my financial details remain confidential．

Also，if you're looking to buy your Christmas presents online，it's best to keep in mind the shipping time needed．

42. According to paragraph two，this December we may not see .

A. people start queuing up outside stores the night before sales even begin

B. a variety of discounted presents are being sold

C. people are preparing presents for their family members or friends

D. people spend a merry Christmas

43.Which of the following words can best replace the underlined word in paragraph 4？

A. Cheated．

B. Teased．

C. Attracted．

D. Attacked．

44. Why does the author prefer the world of online shopping now？

A. Some of the big malls will be closed down．

B. All of the brands and online stores offer their sales and special deals．

C. Purchasing in department stores involves spending a lot of time and money．

D. Online shopping may help to avoid human stampedes and bad department store

Muzak．

45. You should pay more attention to the following things while shopping online except

.

A. how much discount you will get

B. whether or not the website is safe enough

C. taking a close look at the privacy and security policies

D. remembering the shipping time needed

D

A growing number of British parents are giving their baby unusual names，according to a new poll that disclosed some of Britain's “wac kies t” monikers．

Researchers found a growing number of parents appeared to have ditched traditional names in favor of the more bizarre monikers such as Shy，Unity and Bean．

The survey，for a parenting group，found that more than one in three parents now claimed their child had an unusual name．

Experts said many new parents were being influenced by celebrities who had given their children more unusual names．

But they warned parents to “think very carefully”before embarking on unusual names because it could affect their child's psychology．

The poll found three quarters of people who had given their child a traditional name believed more alternative parents were paving the way for their child to be bullied．They added that those who had chosen more wacky names were selfish and not thinking of their child．

The “Most Unusual Names of the Decad e” list，published on Tuesday，was compiled by Bounty Parenting Club，a parent organization after it attempted to discover how many had tried to give their baby an unusual name．

The bizarre names were discovered after experts trawled through the millions of recorded

names given to newborns over the past decade．

The poll，of more than 3000 parents，found more than one in 10 parents regretted their decision to veer from the norm．

The poll also found that the same number of children，perhaps unsurprisingly，did not like their name while a growing number had asked for it to be changed．

The poll also found that initial reactions from friends and family were varied．

When told what the newborn's name was almost one in five expressed surprise，almost a third asked questions about how to spell it while many requested the parents to repeat the name again to check they had heard properly．

Each of the unusual names on Bounty's top 20 list，including Zowie，Puppy and Ice，were given to only a handful of babies since 2000．

Rooney，Bowie and Cobain were some of the names given to children by parents who seem to have been influenced by the celebrity footballer and musicians．

There are also a handful of unusual hippy-style names such as Stone，Gift，Heaven and Echo，while the fashion world might have inspired the names Denim，Diesel and Armani．“Our records have uncovered these unusual name choices of parents over the decade，illustrating the ever growing trend for wackier，celebrity-style names not previously heard of in Britain's playgrounds，” said Bounty spokeswoman Faye Mingo．

“It's great to see parents being creative and wanting their children to stand out from the crowd with more unusual names but there are a few names here that children may find hard to live up to．

The majority of parents polled said their unusual choice was because they didn't want their child to share anyone else's name．

But she added：“Parents do need to think very carefully about everything that comes attached to an unusual moniker as it can definitely shape a child's experiences from how they are treated at school and beyond．”

46.The underlined word bizarre（paragraph 2）is closest in meaning to .

A. normal

B. creative

C. strange

D. pretty

47. Parents were warned to “think very carefully” before embarking on unusual names because

.

A. unusual names could only be used by celebrities

B. children might find it easier to change their names after growing up

C. children with unusual names might make a deep impression on famous people

D. children given unusual names were more likely to be bullied

48. According to the passage, we can learn .

A. 33％ of British parents now claimed their child had an unusual name

B. Celebrities had a strong effect on some parents who had given children unusual names

C. Parents who had chosen more wacky names were considerate and creative

D. Names like Rooney，Bowie and Cobain were often used by movie stars

49. Bounty Parenting Club .

A. published the “Most Unusual Names of the Decad e” list

B. was a parent organization helping parents create more unusual names

C. easily discovered the unusual names within a short time

D. carried out the poll to find the reasons why parents had given children unusual names

50. Faye Mingo held the view that .

A. the British government should forbid parents to give children bizarre names

B. hippy-style names were suitable to become children's names

C. many children were delighted to have been given bizarre names

D. bizarre names could definitely shape children's experience

Troubled by the poor performance of their investments, many people are taking steps to stop decrease of their savings and rethink their financial plans. They are not sure what to do to maximize returns in light of stock market fluctuations, new tax laws, low interest rates and skyrocketing real estate values. “People are afraid of making a mistake and losing more money,"”says financial counselor Denise Hughes. "The do-it-yourself investor of the 1990s is more comfortable now doing nothing." But doing nothing isn't better than doing something smart. Here's what financial advisors are recommending to their clients:

Plan for financial aid. Most parents don't save nearly enough for children's education. They assume that investing in a 529 college plan is the best place for your savings. While a 529 plan offers tax-free growth and withdrawals for college costs, colleges look at these savings when evaluating their qualification and how much they will hand over. Do save aggressively for college in a taxable account in your name if your household income is below $ 100,000. In this case, your child will likely qualify for some financial aid. Do invest in a 529 savings plan if your income is higher than $100,000 and w ill likely remain at or above that level when your child enters college. In this case, the 529 plan is great because you probably won't qualify for financial aid anyway.

Expect ups and downs. Annoyed by three straight years of stock market declines, many people have been shifting to lower-risk investments. But just as taking too much risk can hurt your portfolio's(投资组合) growth rate, so can hiding out in excessive safe investments. Do consider investing in funds that you'll hold on to for more than a year. Under the new tax law, long-term capital gains are taxed at a maximum of 15%, down from 20%. Do look at stock funds that pay dividends (红利). Dividends on stocks used to be taxed at your personal income tax rate. Under the new law, they are now taxed at no more than 15%. Investing in these funds will not only hold down taxes but also sustain your portfolio's value in tough times.

Forget high fees. Over the next ten years, achieving the kind of double-digit returns we experienced over the past 20 years will be much harder. In the 1990s, the average rate of return for a portfolio allocated (配给) 60% to stocks and 40% to bonds was 13.2% after taxes and

transaction expenses. Over the coming decade, this rate is expected to be closer to 5.5%. Don't pay unnecessarily high investment costs and fees. For example, if you can save half a percentage point on your fund expense ratio(the fee that funds charge you each year to manage your money), your average investment return could be 6% instead of 5%.

阅读下面短文，然后按要求写一篇150 词左右的英语短文。

Many years ago, when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver, I was driving to my parents' home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register(收款台), I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.

I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car stopped behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend's. We chatted on the way into the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.

I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon afterward, I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.

Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I'd left the lights on all day, and the battery was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership - a shop selling cars - was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.

"Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?" I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment, so when I got home, I wrote them a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you, and it meant a lot, he said.

"Thank you" - two powerful words. They're easy to say and mean so much.
