22、One of the classic science-fiction treatments of the end of civilization was The Death of Grass, by John Christopher, in which a mysterious sickness struck down all the grasses on which most of the world’s agriculture is based, from rice to wheat. In the end, politics among the survivors of disease, war and famine were reduced to bitter fratricidal struggle over a defensible potato patch. Like most of the so-called “comfortable disaster” novels, this could be criticized for optimism. Depressing as a future of famine and the war of all against all might seem, the consequences were largely limited to humans.
However, the threatened extinction of insect populations around the world raises the prospect of a much less general disaster, which would involve plants, birds, fish, small mammals, and everything else depending on insects. That’s just the start. Other species, and we ourselves, depend on the animals and plants that need insects. When they go, we go. This is not just a greater disaster. It’s a much more reasonable one. The most recent study has concluded that insect biomass is decreasing around the world at a rate of 2.5% a year. At that rate, half the insects in the world will be gone in 50 years’ time, and all of them in a century — though no one will be keeping track of centuries then.
The chief driver of this disaster is unchecked human greed. For all our individual and even collective cleverness, we behave as a species with as little foresight as a colony of nematode worms that will consume everything that it can reach until all is gone and it dies off naturally. The challenge of behaving more intelligently than creatures that have no brain at all will not be easy. But unlike the nematodes, we know what to do. The UN convention on biodiversity was signed in 1992, alongside the convention on climate change. Giving it the strength to hold back our appetites is now urgent. Biodiversity is not an optional extra. It is the web that holds all life, including human life.
The two main expressions of greed that speed this apocalypse are global warming and industrial agriculture. It appears that most of the damage is being done in the developed world by farming practices. The use of giant fields, lacking in shelter for insects of any sort at all, whether they are harmful to human interests or not, and where the plants are drenched in long-lasting pesticides, has been fatal for uncounted billions of insects. The effects of this kind of forming reach beyond the fields immediately affected, too. There has been a huge loss of aquatic insect species from the rivers into which the products of industrial agriculture arc flushed by rain. Even in German nature reserves, which are by definition protected from the use of pesticides, there have been sleep falls in insect populations because so many of the most widely used ones are persistent and prevent breeding.
【1】Which of the following statements about The Death of Grass is true?
A.It gives a vivid account of the most serious famine in history.
B.It holds an optimistic attitude towards famine in the future.
C.It understates the severity of the disaster facing the world.
D.It demonstrates how evil human nature turns out to be.
【2】In paragraph 2, the writer mentions the most recent study in order to________.
A.prove that the prediction about the great disaster makes sense
B.suggest a possible approach to increasing insect biomass
C.show how soon the insects worldwide will go extinct
D.argue for the necessity to protect insect populations
【3】What can be inferred from the passage?
A.Humans are similar to nematode in that both of them lack foresight.
B.Modem farming is to blame for the threatened extinction of insects.
C.Germany sets a good example by minimizing the use of pesticides.
D.We haven’t done enough about maintaining biodiversity.
【4】What will the author probably discuss after the last paragraph?
A.What we can do to deal with the situation.
B.How industrial agriculture brings about apocalypse.
C.What influence pesticides may have on people’s lives.
D.Why insect populations in Germany are on the decline.

24、 Farming is a tradition among many in South Dakota, one that is not always easy to keep in the family. But one family has survived four generations and hopes to continue long into the future.
The year was 1933 when Ed VanderWal’s father first stepped onto the farm. Now 80 years later, Ed carries the passion his father gave him for farming every day while working the fields on the family farm in Volga.
“Well, I was in the first grade when my dad moved here to this farm and I grew up on the farm. And that's what I was interested in doing more,” Ed said. But that love of working the land didn't stop with Ed. He’s passed it down to his six sons. Some of them run farms of their own now, but two of them, Scott and David, still work side by side with their dad every day.
Some people might worry that working sun up to sun down with family seven days a week would lead to a few family spats. But for the VanderWals, the constant time together works just fine.
“When families work together on a farm, it’s a challenge at times getting along. Everyone has to pull their weight and do their share. And that, of course, transfers from one generation to the next,” Scott said.
And while they all get along like any family, with good days and bad, it's tradition that keeps each generation teaching the next.
“But we taught them to work with animals at a young age, like most farmers do. So it’s nice to be able to pass that tradition onto the next generation,” Scott said.
The youngest generation of the VandcrWals, Ed’s three grandsons and a granddaughter, all started learning farming techniques at a young age.
【1】Why did Ed VanderWal devote himself to the farm?
A.Because he grew up on the farm.
B.Because he was affected by his father.
C.Because he could do nothing but work on the farm.
D.Because he wanted to set a good example for his sons.
【2】What does the underlined word “spats” in the fourth paragraph mean?
A.Panics.
B.Shifts.
C.Quarrels.
D.Blames.
【3】What can we infer from the passage?
A.Ed’s farms have no lack of successors (继承者).
B.The VariderWals have strict family rules.
C.Ed’s tradition has great effect on the local.
D.Ed’s grandchildren will drop out of school.
【4】What’s the passage mainly about?
A.A farming family.
B.A successful farmer.
C.The agricultural generation.
D.The agricultural tradition.

26、请认真阅读下面一封信,并据此信中所述写一封回信。内容自拟。
Dear Peter,
Recently, troubled by the painful conflict between my parents and me, I’m writing to seek for your advice.
First, they take it for granted that they could read my diary and interfere with(干涉) my social life just to protect me, making it impossible for me to make friends, though. Besides, on my entering senior high, my parents care too much for my study as if I were a robot deprived of (剥夺)any entertainment. Every time I surfed the Internet, they would shoot me angry eyes. I wonder why they are so hard on a teenager and find fault with my behavior.
Your prompt reply would be highly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Li Hua
注意:1. 词数100左右;
2. 可适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。
