and raceD.age,sex and marriageB BDeputy Agriculture Secretary Kathleen Merrigan sees an epidemic(流行病)sweepingacrossAmericas farmland.It has little to do with the usual challenges,such as flood,risingfuel pricesand crop-eating insects.The countrys farmers are getting older,and there are fewerpeople standing in line to take their place.National agricultural census(普查)figuresshow that the fastest-growing group of farmers is the part over 65.Merrigan is afraidthe average age will be even higher when the 2012 statistics are completed.Merrigan,a former college professor,is making stops at universities across thecountry in hopes of encouraging more students to think about careers in agriculture.Asidefrom trying to stop the graying of Americas farmers,her work is made tougher by a recentblog posting that put agriculture at No.1 on a list of“useless”college degrees.Topfederal agriculture officials are talking about the posting,and it has the attentionof agricultural organizations across the country.“There couldnt be anything thats more incorrect,”Merrigan said.“We know thatthere arent enough qualified graduates to fill the jobs that are out there in Americanagriculture.”In addition,a growing world population that some experts predict will require 70%more foodproduction by 2050,she said.“I truly believe were at a golden age of agriculture.Global demand is at anall-time recordhigh,and global supplies are at all-time record lows,”said Matt Rush,director of theTexas FarmBureau.“Production costs are going to be valuable enough that younger people are goingto have the opportunity to be involved in agriculture.”The Department of Agriculture has programs aimed at developing more farmers and atincreasing interest in locally grown food.The National Young Farmers Coalition hasalso been pushing for state and federal policy changes to make it easier for new farmers.Ryan Best,president of Future Farmers of America,has been living out of a suitcase,travelingthe country and visiting with high school students about careers in agriculture.The21-year-old Besthopes his messagethat this is a new time in agriculturewill motivate the nextgeneration to turnaround the statistics.“Never before have we had the innovations(创新)in technologywhich haveled to agriculture in this country being the most efficient it has ever been,”he said.“Theres really a place for everybody to fit in.”59.What is the new challenge to American agriculture?A.Fewer and older farmers.B.Higher fuel prices.C.More natural disasters.D.Lower agricultural output.60.Why is Merrigan visiting universities across the country?A.To draw federal agriculture officials attention.B.To select qualified agriculture graduates.C.To clarify a recent blog posting.D.To talk more students into farming careers.61.According to Matt Rush,American agriculture will provide opportunities for youngerpeoplebecause_.A.the government will cover production costsB.global food supplies will be even lowerC.investment in agriculture will be profitableD.America will increase its food export62.What do the underlined words“to turn around the statistics”in the last paragraphmean?A.To re-analyze the result of the national census.B.To increase agricultural production.C.To bring down the average age of farmers.D.To invest more in agriculture.C CMedical drugs sometimes cause more damage than they cure.One solution to this problemis toput the drugs inside a capsule,protecting them from the bodyand the body fromthemuntil theycan be released at just the right spot.There are lots of ways to trigger(引发)thisrelease,including changing temperature,acidity,and so on.But triggers can come withtheir own risksburns,for example.Now,researchers in California have designed whatcould be a harmless trigger to date:shining near-infrared light(NIR,近红外线)on thedrug in the capsule.The idea of using light to liberate the drug in the capsule isnt new.Researchersaround the globe have developed polymers(聚合物)and other materials that begin to breakdown when theyabsorb either ultraviolet(UV,紫外线)or visible light.But tissues also readily absorbUV andvisible light,which means the drug release can be triggered only near the skin,wherethe light canreach the capsule.NIR light largely passes through tissues,so researchers have triedto use it as atrigger.But few compounds(化合物)absorb NIR well and go through chemical changes.That changed last year when Adah Almutairi,a chemist at the University of California,SanDiego,reported that she and her colleagues had designed a polymer that breaks down whenitabsorbs NIR light.Their polymer used a commercially available NIR-absorbing group calledo-nitrobenzyl(ONB).When they catch the light,ONB groups fall off the polymer,leadingto itsbreakdown.But ONB is only a so-so NIR absorber,and it could be poisonous to cells whenitseparates from the polymer.So Almutairi and her colleagues reported creating a new material for capsules thatseven better.This one consists of a long chain of compounds called cresol groups linkedin a polymer.Cresol contains reactive(易反应的)components that make it highly unstablein its polymeric form,a feature Almutairi and her colleagues use to their advantage.After polymerizing the cresols,they cap each reactive component with a light-absorbingcompound called Bhc.When the Bhcs absorb NIR light,the reactive groups are exposed andbreak the long polymer into two short chains.Shining additional light continues thisbreakdown,potentially releasing any drugs in the capsule.Whats more,Almutairi says,Bhc is 10 times better at absorbing NIR than is ONB and is not poisonous to cells.63.According to the passage,which of the following could be the best trigger?A.Temperature change.B.NIR light.C.Acidity change.D.UV light.64.Why is ONB unsatisfactory?A.It breaks down when it absorbs NIR light.B.It falls off the polymer and triggers drug release.C.It has not come onto the market up till now.D.It is not effective enough and could be poisonous.65.Which word can be used to complete the following process of changes?A.protectedB.formedC.exposedD.combinedD DFranz Kafka wrote that“a book must be the ax(斧子)for the frozen sea inside us.”Ionceshared this sentence with a class of seventh graders,and it didnt seem to require anyexplanation.Wed just finished John Steinbecks novelOf Mice and Men.When we read the endtogether out loud in class,my toughest boy,a star basketball player,wept a little,and so did I.“Are you crying?”one girl asked,as she got out of her chair to takea closer look.“I am,”I told her,“andthe funny thing is Ive read it many times.”But they understood.When George shoots Lennie,the tragedy is that we realize itwas alwaysgoing to happen.In my 14 years of teaching in a New York City public middle school,Ivetaughtkids with imprisoned parents,abusive parents,irresponsible parents;kids who areparentsthemselves;kids who are homeless;kids who grew up in violent neighborhoods.Theyunderstand,more than I ever will,the novels terrible logicthe giving way of dreams to fate(命运).For the last seven years,I have worked as a reading enrichment teacher,readingclassic worksof literature with small groups of students from grades six to eight.I originally proposedthis idea tomy headmaster after learning that a former excellent student of mine had transferred outof a selective high schoolone that often attracts the literary-minded children ofManhattans upper classesinto a less competitive setting.The daughter of imm
