解析
文章讲述的是人口迅速增长带来的一系列问题,号召我们一定要尽快采取行动。
小题1:study 意为“研究”,根据下文,这是指对未来20年地球上的情况变化所作的研究。
小题2:与后面的人口增长,环境污染等联系起来看,在2010年地球上的状况(picture)将会令人不愉快(unpleasant)。
小题3:因为人口继续增长,所以世界会越来越拥挤(crowded)。
小题4:指人口数目的多用large,不用small。指人口达到某一数目用“as large as + 数词”。
小题5:从现状来看,人口增长快的国家多为发展但不发达的国家;而城市人口急剧增长的则是一些发展中的国家(developing countries)。
小题6:前面提到了两个城市,故此空只能填each。neither具有否定意义,不合句意,不能插入谓语之中。
小题7:相临几句是讲粮食增长问题,故选increase“增长”。
小题8:前后两句具有转折意义:农民所生产的粮食将比1985多90%,但多数增产粮食的国家是已经有足够粮食供人们生活的国家。
小题9:already 意为“已经”,由下句可知:是指已经有足够粮食供人们生活的国家。
小题10:expect意为“预计”,句意为:在亚洲南部的国家预计增产幅度不大。
小题11:由changing farms into deserts可知:不当农业生产方式毁坏(destroy)了大片生产粮食的土地。
小题12:由于扩建城市,修建房屋,必然侵占大量农田,故选lost(失去)。
小题13:由burn coal and oil必然排放大量烟雾,可推知:此处指空气污染(air pollution)
小题14:由more and more trees are cut down可推知:此处指森林(forests)可能消失。
小题15:此句意为:专家说地球到2010年的状况可能会不好。
小题16:exist 意为“存在”。由上下文可知:环境正遭受污染和破坏,专家们只是想保存今天的状况。
小题17:settle the problems 意为“解决问题”。
小题18:still 意为“还有”,加强语气。句意为:现在还有时间给世界各国制定行动计划。
小题19:work out a plan 意为“制定计划”。
小题20:句意为:专家们警告说等待太长的时间作出决定将会极大地减少成功的机会来源:

举一反三
I"d been travelling for long hours on a lonely country road when I had a flat tire. So I had to stop and get the tools to  51 the problem. It certainly wasn’t  52 doing this with a white shirt and suit on.
Nightfall was approaching. Suddenly a car pulled  53 from behind me. A man got out and offered to  54 me. Seeing his unpleasant appearance and tattoos(纹身)on his arm, I became  55 as thoughts of robberies flashed through my mind. But  56 I could say anything he had already begun to take the tools to change the  57 . While watching him I happened to look back at his car and noticed someone sitting in the passenger seat. This had  58 me.
Then, without  59 , it began to rain. He suggested that I wait in his car because my car was unsafe. As the rain increased, getting us wet within seconds, I  60 agreed. When I settle into the back seat, a woman’s voice came from the front seat. “Are you all right?” She turned around to me. “Yes, I am.’’ I replied with much  61 when seeing an old woman there. It must be his Mom, I thought. To my  62 , the old woman was a neighbor of the man who was helping me. “Jeff insisted on stopping when he saw you  63 with the tire. ”“I am grateful for his help, ” I said. “Me, too!” she said with a smile. He helped drive her to see her husband twice a week in a nursing home. She also said that he  64 at the church and tutored disadvantaged students.
The rain stopped and Jeff and I changed me tire. I tried to offer him money and of course he  65 it. It was shameful that I judged people by the way they  66 . As we shook hands I began to apologize for my  67 . He said, ‘‘I experience that same  68 often. People who look like me don’t do nice things. I  69 thought about changing the way. But then I saw this as a chance to make a  70 . So I’ll leave you with the same question I ask everyone who takes time to know me. If Jesus returned tomorrow and walked among us again, would you recognize Him by what He wore or by what He did?’’

He told her that he did not know. Galaxy decided to help them. She had learned the sign language when she served as a volunteer in the deaf and mute(聋哑)school. Then she showed the woman the direction and left her email address to them in case they needed her help later.
She received an email from that man the next day. Kazrim was his name. Galaxy replied his mail sincerely. They both started chatting online soon after and began seeing each other. Although they only communicated with the sign language, it never bothered her.
Galaxy was fond of him gradually. Obviously, Kazrim was the same too. He presented Galaxy with a bunch of sunflowers and asked her sincerely, “Are you willing to be my girlfriend?” Galaxy was pleasantly surprised. She requested him to give her some time to persuade her parents.
As she had expected, her parents were very angry after they had learned of their love story. Galaxy explained, “Kazrim is an excellent and a very optimistic person. He has a very positive attitude towards life and work. He cares for others always. He is 100% better than the normal. Moreover, the mute is still a human.

Her parents asked to see him, then. The very worried Galaxy took Kazrim home a few days later. When they were on the train, Kazrim told her, ‘‘I’m going to tell your parents I’ll be looking after you well with all my life!” Galaxy was deeply moved.
As soon as they had entered the house, Galaxy introduced him to her parents. She said, ‘‘This is Kazrim.” Just right after her speech, an unbelievable thing happened. Kazrim threw the gift away and held her in his arms tightly.
He said, “YOU CAN TALK?” It was the same question that Galaxy wanted to ask, too.

Picking tomatoes
For as long as I can remember, Grandma’s plentiful tomato garden has been a sign of summer’s end. Each September, just as the decreased heat of the sun suggests cooler days, Grandma requests my help in her tomato garden. She convinces me she cannot pick tomatoes without my youthful eyes and quick mind. She says we need to examine each tomato and agree on its readiness for picking. While Grandma’s request for my help in the tomato garden is always the same, her desire for my help seems to increase each year.
Grandma has eyes for finding even the tomatoes hidden by undergrowth and other tomatoes. I, however, just turn circles looking for the ones I think Grandma will like. I spot what looks like a ripe tomato, head in its direction, and then get sidetracked by another that appears to be equally ripe. I usually end up watching Grandma and trying to stay out of her way, which seems the only way my eyes and mind ale useful.
There we are, lost in the tomato vines(藤). Grandma’s eyes are always knowing, and they are no different in the vegetable garden. From afar she spots what looks like a ripe tomato. As she walks toward the garden, she evaluates the tomato for a second time. but from a different angle. I already know it will end up in the basket with the pile of others Grandma has carefully chosen. However, Grandma acts as if she needs a final look to be sure. She calls me to her side, kneels beside the vine while enjoying the warmth of the fading sunlight on her face, and grasps the tomato in her hand. She turns each round, red ball toward the sunlight before disconnecting it from thevine with a half-hearted smile.
She then looks at me. I nod my head and smile. Grandma assumes I smile in agreement with her tomato selection. I know I smile, instead, at her.
小题1:Why does Grandma ask the author to go to the tomato garden with her?
A.He can help pick more tomatoes.
B.He can learn the hardship of labor.

A.is an inefficient tomato picker
B.really has youthful eyes and quick mind

A.realizes her true intentions
B.feels very happy to pick tomatoes for her
C.confirms that her choice of tomato is great
D.appreciates her skill in finding ripe tomatoes
小题4:What can we infer from the story?

B.Grandma will develop more patience in working with the grandchild.
C.The grandchild will gradually become more independent of Grandma.
D.Grandma’s need for the grandchild"s company will grow over time.
