What difference has it made, statistically speaking? 400 million births prevented The one-child policy, officially in place since 1979, has prevented 400 million births. Parents have faced fines and other punishments for having mo

12、re children.The majority of the decrease in Chinas fertility(生育)rate happened in the 1970s. It dropped from 5.8 children per woman in 1970 t0 2.7 in 1978. Despite the one-child policy the rate had only fallen t0 1.7 by 2013.21:28 baby death rate Since the one-child policy was introduced, baby girls

13、have become more likely to die than boys.In the 1970s, according to the United Nations, 60 males per l,000 live births died under the age of one. For girls the figure was 53. In the 1980s, after the one-child policy became official, the rate for both was 36. By the 1990s, 26 males per l,000 live bir

14、ths died before the age of one-and 33 girls. The 2000s saw 21 boys per l,000 live births dying and 28 girls. 1.16 boys born for every girlSexually selective abortions have been considered as a major cause of Chinas unusual sexual imbalance. Gietel-Basten, associate professor in social policy at Oxfo

15、rd University, says the births of many girls are not registered if parents have broken the rule by having two children, adding officials often turn a blind eye. Its estimated there are now 33 million more men than women in China.4：2：1 familiesWith the ageing of Chinas population and the continuation

16、 of the one-child policy, a “4: 2 : 1”home is the description given to households in which there are four grandparents cared for by two working age parents, who themselves have one child.By 2050, its predicted that a quarter of Chinas population will be 65 or older.

19、ng as they walked deep into the rainforest in the Maliau Basin in Borneo, where they had set up a set of experiments to look at the ecological effects of small creatures: termites (白蚁).Termites get a bum rap. They make headlines for chewing up billions of dollars of property each year in the U. S. A

20、nd they are responsible for something like two percent of global carbon emissions, simply as a result of their huge populations and preference for chewing through carbonrich materials. A whole industry is aiming at killing them.But they play a key role in many natural ecosystems. Scientists have kno

21、wn for years that in tropical (热带的) forests, termites chew up fallen leaves and dead wood, keeping the fallen material under control and letting nutrients from the dead material back into the system to be used by other plants, insects, and animals. But they didnt know exactly how important the insec

22、ts were in keeping the forest healthy and functional, so they removed termites from a particular spot in the forest and saw how it responded.As luck would have it, Hannah Griffiths and her colleagues started their experiment when the forest was hit by an extreme drought (干旱). During the non-drought

23、years, they saw there wasnt much difference between the normal plots and the ones where theyd removed the termites. But during the drought, the effects were marked. What they found was unexpected: in the termite-rich areas, the soil stayed slightly wet, more tree seedlings sprouted (抽芽), and the sys

24、tem was full of activity despite the long, hard dry spell.For Griffiths, it was only because they happened to study the drought that they could pick out the real importance of termites to the system, she points out. “And that rings alarm bells in my head,” she says, “because it makes me think, well

25、what else dont we know? If we start damaging biological communities, we dont know what that will do.”1、Which of the following best explains “a bum rap” underlined in Paragraph 2?AUnfair blame.BWide popularity.CPublic attention.DSpecial preference.2、What have scientists learned about termites?AThey d

26、o serious harm to tropical rainforests.BThey contribute a lot to the ecosystem they live in.CThey act as food for other plants, insects and animals.DThey speed up the loss of nutrition in the rainforest.3、What can we infer from the finding of Griffiths experiment?ATermites help rainforests survive c

28、l communities.CWe should think twice before damaging a species.DWe should study the drought to improve the system.23（8分）As the worlds population grows, farmers will need to produce more and more food. And large farms are increasingly using precision farming to increase yields (产量), reduce waste, and

29、 reduce the economic and security risks that inevitably accompany agricultural uncertainty.Traditional farming relies on managing entire fieldsmaking decisions related to planting, harvesting, irrigating, and applying pesticides and fertilizer (农药和化肥)based on regional conditions and historical data.

30、 Precision farming, by contrast, combines sensors, robots, GPS, mapping tools and data-analytics software to customize（量身定制）the care that plants receive without increasing labor. Robot-mounted sensors and camera-equipped drones (无人机) wirelessly send images and data on individual plants to a computer

31、, which looks for signs of health and stress. Farmers receive the feedback in real time and then deliver water, pesticide or fertilizer in adjusted doses（剂量）to only the areas that need it. The technology can also help farmers decide when to plant and harvest crops.As a result, precision farming can

32、improve time management, reduce water and chemical use, and produce healthier crops and higher yieldsall of which benefit farmers bottom lines and conserve resources while reducing chemical runoff.Many small businesses are developing new software, sensors, and other tools for precision farming, as a

33、re large companies such as Monsanto, John Deere, Bayer, Dow and DuPont. The U.S. Department of Agriculture, NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration all support precision farming, and many colleges now offer course work on the topic.In a related development, seed producers are ap

34、plying technology to improve plant characteristics. By following individual plants over time and analyzing which ones flourish in different conditions, companies can relate the plants response to their environments with their genomics (基因组学). That information, in turn, allows the companies to produc

35、e seed varieties that will grow well in specific soil and weather conditions. This advanced technology may also help to improve crop nutrition.Farmers do not universally welcome precision agriculture for various reasons, such as high equipment costs and lack of access to the Internet. The technology

36、 may bring great challenges to experienced farmers who are not good at computers. And large systems will also be beyond the reach of many small farming operations in developing nations. But less expensive, simpler systems could potentially be applied. For others, though, cost savings in the long run

37、 may reduce the financial concerns. And however reticent some farmers may be to adopt new technology, the next generation of farmers are likely to warm to the approach.1、Precision farming differs from traditional farming partly because it _.Aguarantees high yields with more laborBrelies on regional

38、conditions and historical dataCoffers plenty of water, pesticides and fertilizerDprovides real time information about target crops2、About precision farming, we can learn that_.Athe government holds a cautious attitudeBit draws positive responses from businessesCseed producers have already made huge

39、profitsDlarge systems will soon be built in developing nations3、The underlined word “reticent” in the last paragraph probably means _.Adisappointed BconfusedCunwilling Dshocked4、What is the best title for the passage?APrecision Farming Increases Crop YieldsBMore Challenges Faced by Modern FarmersCDe

43、ked me dead in the eye and said: “How do I know Im real?”Suddenly I was back in graduate school.

Moore and his famous “here is one hand,

44、here is the other,” to prove the existence of the external world? But then the answer came to me.
