25、 generally do not want to live with their children.Moreover,most adult children 26 every bit as much care and support to their aging parents 标准时间 40 minutes 自测用时 minutes 开心快乐每一天 as was the case in the“good old days”,and most older people do not feel 27 .About 80%of people 65years and older have livi
26、ng children,and about 90%of them have 28 contact with their children.About 75%of elderly parents who dont go to nursing homes live within 30 minutes of at least one of their children.However,29 having contact with children does not guarantee happiness in old age.In fact,some research has found that
27、people who are most involved with their families have the lowest spirits.This research may be 30 ,however,as ill health often makes older people more 31 and thereby increases contact with family members.So it is more likely that poor health,not just family involvement,32 spirits.Increasingly,researc
28、hers have begun to look at the quality of relationships,rather than at the frequency of contact,between the elderly and their children.If parents and children share interests and values and agree on childrearing practices and religious 33 ,they are likely to enjoy each others company.Disagreements o
29、n such matters can 34 cause problems.If parents are agreed by their daughters d ivorce,dislike her new husband,and disapprove of how she is raising their grandchildren,35 are that they are not going to enjoy her visits.A)abandoned E)commitment I)frequent M)provide B)advanced F)dampens J)fulfillment
30、N)understandably C)biased G)dependent K)grant O)unrealistically D)chances H)distant L)merely Section B Directions:In this section,you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it.Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs.Identify the paragraph from which th
31、e information is derived.You may choose a paragraph more than once.Each paragraph is marked with a letter.Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.Could Food Shortages Bring Down Civilization?A For many years I have studied global agricultural,population,environment
32、al and economic trends and their interactions.The combined effects of those trends and the political tensions they generate point to the breakdown of governments and societies.Yet I,too,have resisted the idea that food shortages could bring down not only individual governments but also our global ci
33、vilization.B I can no longer ignore that risk.Our continuing failure to deal with the environmental declines that are undermining the world food economy forces me to conclude that such a collapse is possible.C As demand for food rises faster than supplies are growing,the resulting food-price inflati
34、on puts severe stress on the governments of many countries.Unable to buy grain or grow their own,hungry people take to the streets.Indeed,even before the steep climb in grain prices in 2008,the number of failing states was expanding.If the food situation continues to worsen,entire nations will break
35、 down at an ever increasing rate.In the 20th century the main threat to international security was superpower conflict;today it is failing states.D States fail when national governments can no longer provide personal security,food security and basic social services such as education and health care.
36、When governments lose their 开心快乐每一天 control on power,law and order begin to disintegrate.After a point,countries can become so dangerous that food relief workers are no longer safe and their programs are halted.Failing states are of international concern because they are a source of terrorists,drugs
37、,weapons and refugees(难民),threatening political stability everywhere.E The surge in world grain prices in 2007 and 2008and the threat they pose to food securityhas a different,more troubling quality than the increases of the past.During the second half of the 20th century,grain prices rose dramatica
38、lly several times.In 1972,for instance,the Soviets,recognizing their poor harvest early,quietly cornered the world wheat market.As a result,wheat prices elsewhere more than doubled,pulling rice and corn prices up with them.But this and other price shocks were event-driven drought in the Soviet Union
39、,crop-shrinking heat in the U.S.Corn Belt.And the rises were short-lived:prices typically returned to normal with the next harvest.F In contrast,the recent surge in world grain prices is trend-driven,making it unlikely to reverse without a reversal in the trends themselves.On the demand side,those t
40、rends include the ongoing addition of more than 70 million people a year,a growing number of people wanting to move up the food chain to consume highly grain-intensive meat products,and the massive diversion(转向)of U.S.grain to the production of bio-fuel.G As incomes rise among low-income consumers,t
41、he potential for further grain consumption is huge.But that potential pales beside the never-ending demand for crop-based fuels.A fourth of this years U.S.grain harvest will go to fuel cars.H What about supply?The three environmental trends the shortage of fresh water,the loss of topsoil and the ris
42、ing temperaturesare making it increasingly hard to expand the worlds grain supply fast enough to keep up with demand.Of all those trends,however,the spread of water shortages poses the most immediate threat.The biggest challenge here is irrigation,which consumes 70%the worlds fresh water.Millions of
43、 irrigation wells in many countries are now pumping water out of underground sources faster than rainfall can refill them.The result is falling water tables(地下水位)in countries with half the worlds people,including the three big grain producers China,India and the U.S.I As water tables have fallen and
44、 irrigation wells have gone dry,Chinas wheat crop,the worlds largest,has declined by 8%since it peaked at 123 million tons in 1997.But water shortages are even more worrying in India.Millions of irrigation wells have significantly lowered water tables in almost every state.J As the worlds food secur
45、ity falls to pieces,individual countries acting in their own self-interest are actually worsening the troubles of many.The trend began in 2007,when leading wheat-exporting countries such as Russia and Argentina limited or banned their exports,in hopes of increasing local food supplies and thereby br
46、inging down domestic food prices.Vietnam banned its exports for several months for the same reason.Such moves may eliminate the fears of those living in the exporting countries,but they are creating panic in importing countries that must rely on what is then left for export.K In response to those re
47、strictions,grain-importing countries are trying to nail down long-term trade agreements that would lock up future grain supplies.Food-import anxiety is even leading to new efforts by food-importing countries to buy or lease farmland in other countries.In spite of such temporary measures,soaring food
48、 prices and spreading hunger in many other countries are beginning to break down the social order.开心快乐每一天 L Since the current world food shortage is trend-driven,the environmental trends that cause it must be reversed.We must cut carbon emissions by 80%from their 2006 levels by 2020,stabilize the wo
49、rlds population at eight billion by 2040,completely remove poverty,and restore forests and soils.There is nothing new about the four objectives.Indeed,we have made substantial progress in some parts of the world on at least one of thesethe distribution of family-planning services and the associated
50、shift to smaller families.MFor many in the development community,the four objectives were seen as positive,promoting development as long as they did not cost too much.Others saw them as politically correct and morally appropriate.Now a third and far more significant motivation presents itself:meetin
