City people are used to seeing

11、 tall buildings and apartments. Farms, on the other hand, are associated with rural(农村的) life. However, there are experts who think skyscrapers should become farms to meet the increasing food needs.By the middle of this century, some scientists suggest, almost 80% of the earths population could live

12、 in cities. In addition, the population could increase to 9.1 billion people during that time yet the amount of land available for farming will be the same. If current farming practices dont change, we will need an area of new land to produce enough food for the planet.Vertical farms, where urban fa

13、rmers could grow crops in environmentally friendly skyscrapers, could be the solution. In spite of concerns over high costs, experts want to make it a reality and use these skyscrapers to grow crops.Vertical farms would have many advantages, supporters say. Unlike traditional farming, vertical farmi

14、ng could be free of chemicals and diseases. Besides, crops would not suffer from problems like flooding. Finally, vertical farms would reduce the cost and negative effects of transporting food over long distances.Some argue that although crops growing in a tall glass building would get natural sunli

15、ght during the day, it wouldnt be enough. For this reason, vertical farms would need additional light sources(来源), such as artificial light.Another way of growing fresh food is to build urban farms on rooftops. This more practical approach may be more achievable than the idea of farms in skyscrapers

16、, researchers suggest. Experts agree that innovative(革新的) farming practices are needed to support the need for more food at affordable costs, both to the farmer and to the consumer, but the best ideas could be yet to come.1、What primary problem could vertical farming settle?APoor state of rural life

17、.BShortage of food supply.CHigh cost for transporting crops.DEnvironmental pollution by transitional farmings2、What is the advantage of vertical farming?AIt can produce organic food.BIt requires little care.CIt can benefit transport industry.DIt needs very low cost.3、What is a big challenge to make

Kenn

19、edysat down, as a frontrunner for the Senate seat in New York, for a televised interview that helped decide the future of her campaign. The result was a disaster.Her performance wasnt well received, in part because her speech was full of filler words“ums,” “ahs” and “you knows.” One listener counted

20、 27 “ums” and 38 “you knows” in the space of five minutes. A few weeks after the interview, Kennedy ended her Senate campaign.Filler words may seem natural in everyday speech, but they can be deadly in formal presentations. “Using excessive fillers is the most annoying speech habit,” said Susan Ward

21、, a speech specialist. “They take your listeners attention away often to the point that he doesnt hear anything you say. Your message is entirely lost.”Many speakers are afraid of pause. They believe their audience will think they are inarticulate (不善于表达) if they pause to think of what to say next,

22、so they use filler words to avoid the silence. However, a pause is actually more impressive than a filler word. Listeners know that the speaker is thinking, trying to find the right word. Sometimes a pause can actually improve a speech, as when an actor uses a dramatic pause to hold the attention of

23、 his audience. A speaker shouldnt be afraid to pause occasionally during a speech; it shows self-confidence.It takes some work to cut out filler words. You can begin by taking a few seconds to think about what you want to say the next time you are asked a question. This pause will help you begin pow

24、erfully, and it will help you avoid using a filler word.The same public speaking technique applies when you are shifting from one idea to another. While you may be tempted to fill the silence between ideas with a filler word, remember to allow yourself to pause and think about what you want to say n

25、ext.If you need help overcoming your “um” problem, consider asking a family member or a friend to point out when you use filler words. You also could record an upcoming presentation and then watch yourself in action. You may be amazed at how often you say “um” or “uh”!Although we live in a fast-pace

26、d society that seemingly demands instant answers, we must use the pause to our advantage. Finally, we should only speak when we are ready.1、In the first two paragraphs of the article the writer intends to _.Aintroduce Caroline Kennedy to readersBillustrate how deadly filler words can be in the publi

27、c speechCexplain what filler words areDremind readers that they should count filler words used in public speeches2、The reason why filler words are considered annoying by speech specialist is that _.Athey prevent the listener from focusing on what the speaker is saying.Bthey convey the speakers super

28、iority to the listener.Cthey mean the speaker is not articulate at all.Dthey make the speaker appear self-confident.3、When used properly, pauses in speeches can actually _.Agive the speaker more credibilityBhold the attention of the audienceCshow the speakers deep insightDhelp the audience relax4、Wh

29、ich of the following is NOT suggested as a way to get rid of filler words?ATo have mental training in order to think faster.BTo ask someone else to point out when you use filler words.CTo watch a recording of your own speech.DTo practice thinking for a moment before answering a question.23（8分） Wonde
