D
suspending
参考解析
解析：
句意：虽然世界上粮食产量急剧上升。但仍然有几百万人在挨饿。因句中有转折连词but，所选词的意思必须与逗号后的句子相反或相对。soaring急剧上升，粮食产量上升与“有几百万人在挨饿”正好形成强烈对比，因此C为正确答案。staggering停滞不前。shrinking缩减。suspending暂停。三个选项均不能和but后的句子形成语义转折关系。

Your Bean Steak (素肉排), Sir!What sort of food are we likely to be eating in the year 2000?Most people, when you ask them a question like that, either say: " There won't be any left, " or "Whatever it is, there won't be much taste in it." Of course, there are good reasons for being worried about the world's food supplies in the future.Nevertheless, not all the experts share these worries.For one thing, although the world's population is rising fast, food production is keeping pace with it, even in developing countries.It is therefore argued that the main reason why people are hungry is not that there is a world food shortage but that methods of cultivation are not sufficiently advanced in some areas and the food is not fairly distributed ( 分配 ).This does not mean, however, that our diet ( 饮食 ) will go on being the same.In many industrialized countries, people feed animals with grain to produce high-quality beef, even though the grain would feed the human population, and use fishmeal to fatten pigs to improve the quality of bacon.While not many of us would like fishmeal for lunch, its nutritional value is high and the unattractive fish it is made from can be presented to the public in colorful packets of fish fingers.By the year 2000, many of these problems will have been solved.Scientists are already capable of making steaks from soy beans.It is quite obvious that there will still be enough to eat, if we are not too particular about where the food comes from and what it is made of.1.Most people believe that food supplies in the future().A、will become a very serious problemB、will be the same as they are todayC、will be enough in quantity but not good in qualityD、will be much better than they are today2.The reason why people are hungry in today's world is().A、poor farming methods and bad distributionB、slow growth of food productionC、food shortages all across the worldD、fast rising population3.The word "bacon" in Line 5, Para.3 most probably is().A、a kind of "meat" made from grainB、meat made from fishC、food for fishD、meat made from pigs4.The word "particular" in Line 4, Para.4 means().A、specialB、choosyC、detailedD、very exact5.The title of this passage suggests that().A、food in the future will be tastelessB、there will be worldwide food shortagesC、diet in the future will be very differentD、science is making rapid progress

共用题干More Rural Research is NeededAgricultural research funding is vital if the world is to feed itself better than it does now. Dr. Tony Fischer,crop scientist,said demand was growing at 2 .5%per year but with modern tech-nologies and the development of new ones,the world should be able to stay ahead.“The global decline in investment in international agricultural research must be reversed if significant progress is to be made towards reducing malnutrition（营养不良）and poverty.” he said.Research is needed to solve food production,land degradation（贫瘠化）and environmental problems. Secure local food supplies led to economic growth which in turn,slowed population growth .Dr. Fischer painted a picture of the world's ability to feed itself in the first 25 years, when the world's population is expected to rise from 5 .8 to 8 billion people.He said that things will probably hold or improve but there'll still be a lot of hungry people.The biggest concentration of poor and hungry people would be in sub-Saharan Africa and southern Asia in 2020,similar to the current pattern. if there is any change,a slight improvement will be seen in southern Asia, but not in sub-Saharan Africa. The major improvement will be in East Asia,South America and South-East Asia.The developing world was investing about 0 .5%,or$8 billion a year,of its agricultural gross domestic product(GDP)on research and developed world was spending 2 .5%of its GDP. Dr. Fischer said more was needed from all countries.He said crop research could produce technologies that spread across many countries,such as wheat production research having spin-offs（有用的副产品）for Mexico, China or India.“Technologies still need to be refined for the local conditions but a lot of the strategic re- search can have global application,so that money can be used very efficiently.”Dr. Fischer said.Yields of rice, wheat ad maize（玉米）have grown impressively in the past 30 years, espe- cially in developing countries.For example,maize production rose from 2 to 8 tones per hectare between 1950 and 1995.But technologies driving this growth such as high-yield varieties,fertiliz-ers,and irrigation,were becoming exhausted.“If you want to save the land for non-agricultural activities,for forests and wildlife,you're going to have to increase yield.”Dr. Fischer said.A:there is a demand for saving land for non-agricultural activitiesB: crop production is growing faster in developing countriesC: maize production reached its peak in the 1990sD: technologies improving maize production have been well developed

问答题Practice 5 Water is essential for life. Yet many millions of people around the world face water shortages. Many millions of children die every year from water-borne diseases. And drought regularly afflicts some of the world’s poorest countries. The world needs to respond much better. We need to increase water efficiency, especially in agriculture. We need to free women and girls from the daily chore of hauling water. We must involve leaders of countries in decision-making on water management. We need to make sanitation a priority. This is where progress is lagging most. And we must show that water resources need not be a source of conflict. Instead, they can be a catalyst for cooperation. Significant gains have been made. But a major effort is still required. Our goal is to meet the internationally agreed targets for water and sanitation by 2015, and to build the foundation for further progress in the years beyond. This is an urgent matter of human development, and human dignity. Together, we can provide safe, clean water to the entire world’s people. The world’s water resources are our lifeline for survival, and [or sustainable development in the 21st century. Together, we must manage them better.
