followed by several questions or unfinished statements．For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D．Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read． （A） In the earliest stages of man’s development he had no more need of money than animals have．He was content with very simple forms of shelter, made his own rough tools and weapons and could provide food and clothing for himself and his family from natural materials around him．As he became more civilized, however, he began to want better shelter, more efficient tools and weapons, and more comfortable and more lasting clothing than could be provided by his own neighborhood or by the work of his own unskilled hands．For these things he had to turn to the skilled people such as smiths, leather workers or carpenters．It was then that the question of payment arose． At first he got what he wanted by a simple process of exchange．The smith who had not the time to look after land or cattle was glad to take meat or grain from the farmer in exchange for an axe or a plough．But as more and more goods which had no fixed exchange value came on the market, exchange became too complicated to be satisfactory．Another problem arose when those who made things wanted to get stocks of wood or leather, or iron, but had nothing to offer in exchange until their finished goods were ready． 　　Thus the difficulties of exchange led by degrees to the invention of money．In some countries easily handled things like seeds or shells were given a certain value and the farmer, instead of paying the smith for a new axe by giving him some meat or grain, gave him so many shells．If the smith had any shells left when he had bought his food, he could get stocks of the raw materials of his trade．In some countries quite large things such as cows or camels or even big flat stones were used for trade．Later, pieces of metal, bearing values according to the rarity of the metal and the size of the pieces, or coins were used．Money as we know it had arrived． 65．Exchange of goods became difficult because _________． 　　A．man became more civilized 　　B．smiths began to look after land or cattle in their spare time 　　C．more and more goods which had no fixed exchange values came to the market 　　D．farmers hadn’t enough grain or meat to provide for skilled workers 66．Money was not used until _______． 　　A．paper was invented 　　B．people practiced a simple process of exchange 　　C．nothing could be offered in exchange 　　D．the exchange of one thing for another became too complicated 67．The

A．Fatal． B．Sticky． C．Essential． D．Unconscious． （D） Sustainable development is applied to just about everything from energy to clean water and economic growth, and as a result it has become difficult to question either the basic assumptions behind it or the way the concept is put to use．This is especially true in agriculture, where sustainable development is often taken as the sole measure of progress without a proper appreciation of historical and cultural perspectives． To start with, it is important to remember that the nature of agriculture has changed markedly throughout history, and will continue to do so ．Medieval agriculture in northern Europe fed, clothed and sheltered a predominantly rural society with a much lower population density than it is today．It had minimal effect on biodiversity, and any pollution it caused was typically localized．In terms of energy use and the nutrients captured in the product it was relatively inefficient． Contrast this with farming since the start of the industrial revolution．Competition from overseas led farmers to specialize and increase yields．Throughout this period food became cheaper, safe and more reliable．However, these changes have also led to habitat loss and to diminishing biodiversity． What’s more, demand for animal products in developing countries is growing so fast that meeting it will require an extra 300 million tons of grain a year by 2050．yet the growth of cities and industry is reducing the amount of water available for agriculture in many regions． All this means that agriculture in the 21st century will have to be very different from how it was in the 20th．This will require radical thinking．For example, we need to move away from the idea that traditional practices are inevitably more sustainable than new ones．We also need to abandon the notion that agriculture can be “zero impact”．The key will be to abandon the rather simple and static measures of sustainability, which centre on the need to maintain production without increasing damage．Instead we need a more dynamic interpretation, one that looks at the pros and cons of all the various way land is used．There are many different ways to measure agricultural performance besides food yield: energy use, environmental costs, water purity, carbon footprint and biodiversity．It is clear, for example, that the carbon of transporting tomatoes from Spain to the UK is less than that of producing them in the UK with additional heating and lighting, but we do not know whether lower carbon footprints will always be better for biodiversity． What is crucial is recognizing that sustainable agriculture is not just about sustainable food production． 76．How do people often measure progress in agriculture? 　　A．By its productivity B． By its impact on the environment　　C．By its sustainability D．By its contribution to economic growth 77．What does the author think of traditional farming practices? 　　A．They have remained the same over the centuries 　　B．They have not kept pace with population growth 　　C．They are not necessarily sustainable 　　D．They are environmentally friendly 78．What will agriculture be like in the 21st century? 　　A．It will go through radical changes 　　B．It will supply more animal products 　　C．It will abandon traditional farming practices 　　D．It will cause zero damage to the environment 79．What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage? 　　A．To remind people of the need of sustainable development 　　B．To suggest ways of ensuring sustainable food production 　　C．To advance new criteria for measuring farming progress 　　D．To urge people to rethink what sustainable agriculture is． Section C Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-- G for each paragraph． There are two examples that have been done for you．There is one extra heading which you do not need． Popular photography can properly be said to have started in 1888 with the introduction of the Kodak．The Kodak camera was the invention of an American, George Eastman （1854-1932）．Advertised as “the smallest, lightest and simplest of all Detective Cameras” （ a popular term of the 1880’s for hand-held cameras）, it was a simple wooden box．It was small and light enough to be held in the hands while in use． 80． He chose the name for his camera with great care．“The letter K had been a favourite with me ----- it seems strong, incisive sort of letter．It became a question of trying out a great number of combinations of letters that made words starting and ending with K．The word Kodak is the result”． 81． Taking a photograph with the Kodak camera was very easy, requiring only three simple actions: turning the key （to wind on the film）; pulling the string （to set the shelter）; and pressing the bottom （to release the shutter and make the exposure）．It was, in many aspects the forerunner of today’s point-and-shoot cameras．No viewfinder was needed, and the camera was simply pointed at the subject to be photographed． 82． Poor definition at the edge of image area, however, meant that a circular mask had to be used in the camera, placed in front of the film．This accounts for the distinctive round photographs which the Kodak camera produced． 83． Ingenious, compact and simple to use though it was, the technology of the Kodak camera was not particularly revolutionary．It was not the first hand camera, nor indeed was it the first camera to be made solely for roll film．The true significance of the camera, which makes it a landmark in the history of photography, is that it was the first stage in a complete system of amateur photography． The Kodak camera was sold already loaded with enough film to take 100 photographs．After the film had been exposed, the entire camera was posted to the factory where it was unloaded and the film developed and printed．The camera reloaded with fresh film, was then returned to its owner together with the negatives and a set of prints．Previously, photographers had had no choice but to do their own developing and printing．This, more than any other factor, had delayed the popularization of photography． 84． The new convenience, however, did not come cheap．In Britain, the Kodak camera sold for five guineas （￡5．25）．The developing and printing service cost a further two guineas （￡2．10）．in 1888, ￡1 was a week’s wage for many workers．However, in 1900 the five-shilling （25p） Brownie camera was introduced．For the first time, the pleasures of photography had been brought within reach of practically everybody． 第II卷 （共45分） I．Translation Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets． 1．谁能保证他会遵守诺言?
