Here are the top factors that will be affecting the food that ends up on our tables in the new century.‎ Genetically engineered food(转基因食物) Many crops are already genetically engineered, often to produce more food, fight against pests or improve nutrition. But concern is growing over the lasting effects of changing nature. While existing research has found little harm in genetic engineering, a recent study found the flower powder of a genetically engineered corn can kill the normal butterfly. This finding made many people nervous and brought attention to the topic.‎ Dining out Americans are increasingly eating meals away from home. In the last decade alone there was a 14 percent decrease in the number of meals eaten at home. At the same time, restaurants are just beginning to really open their doors on the Internet. Websites exist to make restaurant reservations (预约), view menus, and get tips from your favorite chefs. The dining out trend and the demand for high-quality, chef-prepared food have encouraged chefs to spend time out of the kitchen — teaching classes, appearing on TV, and writing cookbooks.‎ Eating in Eating in doesn’t always mean cooking. Ready-made meals and frozen food sold in supermarkets taste better all the time. Restaurants are offering neatly packaged “food to go”, and meals can be ordered over the Internet. Cooking is not as much as a necessity, as it is a hobby or a special treat.‎ ‎14. Which of the following is a reason for genetically engineered crops?‎ A. To reduce the prices of food. ‎ B. To kill the normal butterfly.‎ C. To increase food production. ‎ D. To change the nature of the crops.‎ ‎15. From the passage, we learn that ________ .‎ A. eating out is not popular among old people in the USA B. the trend of eating out is causing many chefs to give up their jobs C. it is unusual for restaurants to send out information on the Internet D. it is now easier for people to get information about eating out ‎ ‎16. In the future, cooking at home will probably ________ .‎ A. still be the job of most housewives B. bring much joy to more people ‎ C. take up most of people’s free time D. cause chefs to have nothing to do C The size of world population has been increasing as a result of prolonged human life. Many people alive today would have died of childhood diseases if they had been born 100 years ago. Because more people live longer, there are more people around at any given time. In fact, it is a decrease(减小) in death rates, not an increase in birthrates, that has led to the population increase.‎ Prolonging human life has also increased the dependency load. In all societies, people who are disabled or too young or too old to work depend on the rest of society to provide for them. In hunting and gathering cultures, old people who could not keep up might be left behind to die. In times of famine (饥荒), babies might be allowed to die because they could not survive if their parents starved, but, if the parents survived, they could have another child. In most modern societies, it’s regarded as a moral obligation (责任) to keep people alive whether they can work or not. We have a great many people today who live past the age at which they want to work or are able to work; we also have rules which require people to retire at a certain age. Unless these people were able to save money for their retirement, somebody else must support them. In the United States many retired people live on social security money which is so little that they must live in near poverty. Older people have more illnesses than young or middle-aged people; unless they have wealth or private or government insurance(保险), they must often “go on welfare(福利救济)” if they have a serious illness.‎ When older people become too weak and ill to care for themselves, they create problems for their families. In the past and in some traditional cultures, they would be cared for at home until they died. Today, with most family members working or in school, there is often no one at home who can care for a sick or weak person. To meet this need, a great many nursing homes have been built. These are often profit-making(盈利性的) organizations. While a few of these institutions are good, most of them are simply “dumping (倒垃圾的) grounds” for the dying in which “care” is given by poorly paid, overworked, and under skilled personnel.‎ ‎17. The author believes that the increased size of the human population results from _______.‎ A. an increase in birthrates B. a decrease in death rates ‎ C. the industrial development D. childhood diseases ‎ ‎18. It can be inferred(推断) from the passage that in hunting and gathering cultures _______.‎ A. it was a moral responsibility to keep alive the aged people who could not work B. death was celebrated because an individual was freed of the hardships of life C. old people had the task of passing down the cultures of the tribe to new generations D. the survival of babies was less important than that of their parents in times of starvation ‎ ‎19. The phrase “this need” in the last paragraph refers to ________. ‎ A. taking care of the sick or weak people ‎ B. reducing the problems caused by the retired people C. making profits through caring for the sick or weak people D. prolonging the dying old people’s lives ‎20. According to the passage, which of the following statements about the old people in the United States is true?‎ A. Many nursing homes are supported by the government.‎ B. A small number of them live in poverty after their retirement.‎ C. Many of them live on social security money which is hardly enough.‎ D. Older people have wealth or private insurance if they have a serious illness.‎ 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ iPads vs. Textbooks What if you could have your whole backpack at the touch of your fingertips? In the first month of the Apple iPads release(发布), 25 million were sold! People all over the world use iPads for all sorts of different things, but one of their finest qualities is the ability to be a textbook. 21 ‎ To begin with, iPads are less expensive. Textbooks become outdated and schools have to buy new books, but with an iPad schools can update them for free. 22 Schools don’t have to spend $500 every year for iPads because they last a while and can be updated. ‎ ‎23 Students usually have varied classes, which results in varied textbooks. Heavy backpacks filled will books can cause back problems. A solution to the problem is an iPad, which only weighs 1.33 pounds and can hold all of a student’s textbooks. ‎ Third, schools should get rid of their textbooks and get iPads because they have more capabilities(性能). 24 iPads make it unnecessary to buy calculators, dictionaries, and other items. Textbooks cannot do those tasks, but iPads can easily do them with just a tap of the fingertip. ‎ Lastly, iPads are a better choice for schools instead of textbooks because these devices allow students to access their learning anywhere at any time. 25 With iPads, they find it easier to get their homework done.‎ In conclusion, schools should get rid of their inconvenient textbooks and switch to iPads. iPads have allowed this generation to have their entire backpack in the palm(手掌) of their hands.‎ A. These tablets are perfect for busy students. ‎ B. Schools have every reason to do away with their school books and switch to iPads. ‎ C. Therefore, they can use the saved money for other programs. ‎ D. IPads have already replaced textbooks in over 600 American counties.‎ E. Some might think all of the apps are distracting(令人分心), but the apps actually make iPads more efficient. ‎ F. Second, iPads cost less and are more popular.‎ G. Besides, in high school, textbooks have an average of 4.8 pounds each. ‎ 第三节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）‎ 阅读短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。 ‎ A club called We Dine Together was formed at Boca High School in Florida last autumn.
