C
In the early days of human history, people lived by hunting wild animals, or gathering wild grains and plants for food. Then, some people learned to grow crops and raise animals for food. They were the first farmers.
Since the sixteenth century, the word farm has meant agricultural land. But a much older meaning of the word farm is linked to economics. The word farm comes from the Latin word, firma, which means an unchanging payment.
Experts say the earliest meaning of the English word farm was a yearly payment made as a tax or rent.
Farmers in early England did not own their land. They paid every year to use agricultural lands.
Beans are a popular farm crop. But beans are used to describe something of very little value in the expression, not worth a hill of beans. The expression is often used today. You could say, for example, that a bad idea is not worth a hill of beans.
Language expert Charles Earle Funk said the expression was first used almost seven hundred years ago. He said Robert of Gloucester described a message from the King of Germany to King John of England as altogether not worth a bean.

科目:高中英語 來源:2013屆新疆農(nóng)七師高級中學(xué)高二下學(xué)期第二階段考英語試卷(解析版) 題型:閱讀理解

2010 was a good year for American farmers. They earned about eighty-two billion dollars. That is almost one-third more than that they earned last year. And it is twenty-six percent higher than the ten-year average. Values for grain and oilseed crops are up about three percent from last year. The value of animal production is up by almost seven percent.

In 2011, farm exports are expected to break the all-time high set in 2008.The Agriculture Department says exports in 2011 could top one hundred and twenty-six billion dollars. The largest buyer of agricultural products is expected to be Canada. But farm exports to China are predicted to come within five hundred million dollars of Canadian purchases. Secretary Vilsack says countries in Southeast Asia and the Middle East are also buying more from American farmers.

Poor growing conditions overseas played an important part in higher prices for American crops in 2010.Charlotte Hebe brand is chief executive of the International Food and Agricultural Trade Policy Council in Washington. She said drought(干旱)conditions had a big effect over the summer. She said,“There were horrible weather problems, not just in Russia but also in some of the other former Soviet Union countries.”

Wheat prices rose after Russia stopped wheat exports,although Russia later eased the ban(禁令).“Wheat used to be America’s top crop. What’s interesting,though,is that wheat production has actually become less over the past few years because corn has become the most popular crop,”said economist Charlotte Hebebrand.

Corn is mostly fed to animals. But Miss Hebebrand said with the recent increase in wheat prices, American farmers might plant more wheat again. Corn and wheat are the two largest crops supported by the government.

1.We know that compared to 2009,in 2010 American farmers——.

A.planted less corn

B.planted morn crops

C.planted morn wheat

D.earned more money

2.What does the Agriculture Department expect in 2011?

A. Agriculture exports will continue to increase.

B. China will be the largest buyer of agriculture products

C. America will export food to every country around the world

D. Southeast Asian countries will start buying food from America

3.What is implied in Paragraph 3?

A. America farming also was greatly affected in 2010

B. Russia was not the country most affected by drought in 2010

C. Weather problems helped raise prices for American crops in 2010

D. American crops were the most expensive around the world in 2010

4.We can infer that in the past few years American farmers——

A. reduced crop exports

B. increased corn production

C. increased wheat production

D. increased investment in farming

5.According to what Miss Hebebrand said, we know American farmers will ——

A.stop feeding corn to animals

You'd be forgiven for thinking that running after children each day would leave parents in the best shape of their lives.But a study has found that the mothers and fathers of young children are more unhealthy than their childless peers(同齡人).

Mothers with young children are heavier and eat more calories and fatty foods,and consume more sugary dinks than chidless women,scientists said.And both sexes are less active than those in their age group without children.

Parents often choose quick,easily preparesd foods that are high in fat and calories,and by choosing these foods they may in turn serve them to their children,forming a cycle of unhealthy diet.

Dr.Berge,one of the study authors,said:“This isn't a study about blame,this is about spotting a very high-risk time period for parents that doctors should be aware of ,so they can offer solutions(解決辦法).”

According to the study ,mothers ate more fatty foods and drank about seven sugary drinks weekly,equal to about four chidless women.They also had an average of 2,360 calories daily,368 calories more than women without children,With that many calorise,women that age would need to be active to avoid to avoid gaining weight.

Fathers ate about the same amount of daily calories childless men and both had an average boby-mass index(指數(shù)),but fathersgot less physical activity—about five hours weekly ,compared to almost seven hours among chidless men.

The study has several limitations-there's no data on how many women reccently had babies.Ther's also no information on the number of single parents,who likely face diet and exercise challenges.Sarah Kriger,an American dietician who works with new mothers said some of the mothers may have had postpartum(產(chǎn)后)depression,which might affect their eating and exercise habits.

1.What does the author mainly aim to tell us in the passage?

A.Childless couples live a much happier life than those with children.

B.Mothers will be unhealthy because of the postpartum deprdession

C.Couples of young children eat more fatty foods and lead unhealthier lives.

D.Fathers tend to eat high calorie foods because they should run after thrie children.

2.The underlined part“in the best shape”in the first paragraph means that a person  .

A.is busy and tires

B.has a most harmonious family

C.enjoys the most happiness

D.is in the most healthy condition

3.Which of the following is NOT mentioned about mothers with children?

A.They are less active

B.They eat unhealthy foods

C.They may feel unhappy aftre having babies

D.They may lose their jobs aftre having babies

4.What Dr.Berge says in Paragraph 4 suggests that    .

A.Parents should pay more attention to their chidren

B.doctors should do something with parents'high-risk time period

C.the study has drawn attention of doctors and young parents

D.parents should not be blamde for having an unhealthy lifestyle

5.We can learn from the last paragraph that      .
