The population of this equatorial belt is among the poorest on the earth and is growing faster than anywhere else, the study said. “The stresses on global food production from temperature alone are going to be huge, and that doesn’t take into account water supplies stressed by the higher temperatures, David Battisti, lead author of the study, said. Battisti, also a professor at the University of Washington, co-operated with Rosamond Naylor, director of Stanford University’s Programme on Food Security and the Environment, to examine the influence of climate change on the world’s food security. By combining direct observations with data from 23 global climate models that contributed to Nobel prize-winning research in 2007, Battisti and Naylor determined that there is greater than a 90%probability that by 2100 the lowest growing-season temperatures in the tropics and subtropics will be higher than any temperatures recorded there to date. In the tropics, the higher temperatures can be expected to cut yields of the primary food crops, maize and rice, by 20% to 40%, the researchers said. Serious climate issues will not be limited to the tropics, the scientists conclude. As an example, they cite record temperatures that struck Western Europe in June, July and August of 2003. The summer-long heat wave in France and Italy cut wheat yields and fodder production by one third.

Preparing for Tomorrow

  Sixth-grade schoolteacher Ms.Shelton believed in readiness.Students remembered how she walked in on the first day of class and began writing words of eighth-grade on the   1  .They quickly protested that the words were not on their   2   and they couldn't learn them.

  Their teacher insisted that the students could and would learn these   3  .She said that she would teach them something that should be given.Ms.Shelton   4   by saying that one of the students in the classroom could go on to   5  , maybe even be president someday, and she wanted to prepare them for that day.

  Ms.Shelton said those words many years ago.  6   did she know that someday one of her students-Jesse Jackson-would take them   7  .She believed that if they were well prepared, they could   8   high goals.

  Ralph Waldo Emerson once said,“People only see what they are   9   to see.”If that's true, then it is also   10   that they only become what they are prepared to become.And many things in life is just about getting ready.

  “I want to be doing something more   11   with my life than what I am doing now,”a young man once said to me.He   12   what he was doing was just not that important.Other people have said things to me such as,“I only   13   I had a meaningful relationship.”And,“I'd really like to get a better job, but I just don't see   14  .”

  You fill in the blanks.What is it you would like to   15   that isn't happening?Perhaps the answer is that you are not yet   16  .Maybe you need more time to prepare before you are truly ready for that which you   17

I have a friend named Monty Roberts. He has let me use his horse ranch(养马场)to put on events to raise money for youth at risk programs.
Last time I was there he introduced me by saying, “I want to tell you why I let you use my house. It all goes back to a story about a young man who was the son of an itinerant(流动的)horse trainer. When he was a senior, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be when he grew up.”
“That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of owning a horse ranch someday. He put all his heart into the project and wrote about his dream in great detail. He even drew a diagram of a 200-acre ranch, showing the location of the buildings, stables and the track, and even a detailed floor plan for a 4000-square-foot house on it.”
“The next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later ,he received a large red “F” on his paper with a note, ‘See me after class.’ The boy went to see the teacher and asked why. The teacher told him there was no way for a young boy like him to do that because owning a horse ranch required much money and resources, and then added ‘If you’ll rewrite his paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.’”
“The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. He asked his father what to do. His father said, ‘Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this. However, I think it’s a very important decision for you.’”
“Finally, a week later, the boy turned in the same paper without any change and stated, ‘You can keep the F and I’ll keep my dream.’”
“I tell you this story because you are sitting in my 4000-square-foot house in the middle of my 200-acre horse ranch. I still have that school paper framed over the fireplace.”
Don’t let anyone steal your dreams. Follow your heart, no matter what.
【小题1】 The teacher gave him an “F” for his written paper because the
teacher thought       .

A.he didn’t do a good job in his studies
B.he described an unrealistic goal in his paper
C.he came from an itinerant horse trainer’s family
D.he wrote his paper without the help of his father
【小题2】 Why did the boy turn in the same paper without any change?
A.Because he made up his mind to stick to his dream.
B.Because his father stopped him from rewriting it.
C.Because he was angry about his teacher’s words.
D.Because he had put too much of his heart into it.
【小题3】 From the story we can infer that the boy was actually       .
A.Monty himselfB.the author himself
C.Monty’s friendD.an unknown person
【小题4】 According to the passage, the following statements are true EXCEPT

B.the boy might have got a higher grade if he’d rewritten his paper

第三部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
  阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
  JSC Boggs is an artist who makes money.To be exact,he draws money.In the United States he draws dollars,in Britain pounds and in France francs.Each are almost perfect reproductions,apart from the fact that he writes "Bank of Boggs" or another humorous message on them.
  When Boggs goes shopping or for a meal,he offers "Boggs dollars" in the payment for what he wants.He also offers real money.It is up to the people selling the goods to take whichever they prefer.
  When a shopkeeper or a restaurant owner takes a "Boggs dollar",he or she gives a receipt in return for the things bought.Boggs then sells the receipt at face value to art collectors.This is how he makes actual money for the times when people will not accept his drawings.
  The collector uses the receipt to find the person holding the actual "Boggs dollar" and the two talk over what they think would be a fair price.This gives the shop or restaurant owner the chance to make another profit on the goods he or she sold to Boggs.It means Boggs actually gets paid for buying things.And it means that the collector has a unique work of art---each "Boggs dollar" is separately drawn.
  Artists like to make us think.What Boggs wants us to think about is the nature of value and money. What is money really worth? Is value of money the same as personal value? Once "Boggs dollars " have been given away by the artist,they often continuew to circulate and grow on value A "Boggs one dollar bill" may have bought the artist a cup of coffee in New York.Now it may be worth a car or an expensive meal.It all depends on that value a person chooses to give it.
  Money used to be worth a certain weight in gold or silver.Now it is just worth whatever the government or the banks.JSC Boggs is trying to start another type of money.People can choose "Boggs dolars" or not.And their value is up to whoever uses them.In a way,"Boggs dollars" are "people's money".
  56.How much will Boggs get if he buys a cup of coffee with a "Boggs one dollar bill"?
   A.One dollar. B.More than one dollar.
   C.Less than one dollar. D.Much more than one dollar.
  57.According to the text,the main difference between"value of money "and "personal value" is that ______.
   A.they rise or fall separately B.they refer to different people
   C.they are decided by different people D.they are decided by different banks
  58.What does the writer mean by saying "Boggs dollars are people's money"?
   A.They are two different types of money.
   B.In fact they are not real money.
   C.People can share them and use them among themselves.
   D.People are free to use them and deck their value.
  59.Choose the girht order in which Boggs gets paid.
    a.He buys things with his dollars.
    b.He sells the receipt to an art collector.
    c.He araws dollars.
    d.The art collector finds the shopkeeper to buy his dollars.
    e.The shopkeeper gives him a receipt.
   A.c - a - e - b - d
   B.c - e - b - d - a
   C.e - c - b - d - a
   D.e - b - c - a - d
