A report has recently been published about what the earth might be like 20 years or so from now on. The report is a result of a three-year 46 .
According to the report, the picture of the earth in the year 2020 is not a 47 one. The world will be more 48 because the population will continue to grow. The population could be 49 9,000 million, almost 3,000 million more than that in 2009. More people would move into cities, especially cities in 50 countries. Cities in India and Thailand probably would 51 have a population of 20 million by then.
Food production will 52 , but not enough to feed all the people. Farmers will grow 90% more food than they did in 2009, 53 most of the increase would be in countries that 54 produce enough food for their people. Little increase is 55 in South Asia, Africa or the Middle East. Poor farming ways are 56 large areas of cropland, changing farms into deserts. More farmland is 57 as cities become larger and more houses are built. 58 will get worse as developed countries burn more coal and oil. Many of the world’s 59 could disappear as more and more trees are cut down. Energy will continue to be a serious problem. The experts say their 60 of the earth for the year 2020 may be wrong. They only 61 the situation as it is today. By changing the situation, by 62 the problems, the picture can be changed. There is 63 time for the nations of the world to 64 a plan of action. But they considered that 65 too long to make a decision would greatly reduce the chances of success

Summer is a busy time for travel. For years, people have wondered whether they are safe from viruses when they travel in small, enclosed areas. They worry about close contact with others who may be sick.
The current spread of a swine flu(猪流感) virus has added to these concerns. Recently, the World Health Organization raised its warning about the new H1N1 virus to its highest level. W.H.O. Director-General Margaret Chan declared the sickness a pandemic–a disease that has spread to many nations. Given this information, many people want to know how safe it is to travel?
The answers people are getting may seem conflicting. For example, a W.H.O. statement urged nations not to close their borders or limit trade and travel. Director-General Chan said cases are generally not that serious for most people. Still, W.H.O. officials continue to report new cases across the world.
In the past, the W.H.O. and experts noted guidance for disease spread on airplanes. The experts said you could get infected only if you sit within two rows of someone who is sick. That would be a distance of up to three meters from the sick person. And this was true only if you sat there for more than eight hours.
But a travel-health expert says this guidance may not be helpful for swine flu. He suggests steps that could help prevent getting swine flu on an airplane. His advice includes keeping the airflow over your seat on the “low” position. The doctor says you should point the equipment so the flow of air is just in front of your face.
Doctors say anyone with pain, swelling(肿胀) or red skin on a leg during or after a long trip may have a blood clot(凝块). Anyone with such signs should see a doctor as soon as possible. The condition many times can be treated with drugs that thin the blood and stop the clot from moving through the body.
68．The underlined word “conflicting” is closest in meaning to ________.
A. in disagreement B. not true C. the same D. unbelievable
69．According to Director-General Chan, the swine flu is ________.
A. a disease spread on airplanes B. a very dangerous disease
C. a disease requiring limit travel D. a widely spread disease
70．Which of the following is the travel-health expert’s opinion on traveling in an airplane?
A. It’s safe to sit within two rows of a sick person.
B. It’s helpful to keep air flowing right before your face.
C. It’s important for a passenger to stay in a plane within 8 hours.
D. It’s certain that a passenger will have a blood clot after a long flight.
71．What would be the best title for the text?
A. Stop Traveling in Case of Swine Flu B. Experts’ Arguments Over Swine Flu
C. Prevention of Swine Flu on the Trip D. No News Is the Best News

A report on a new software that enables eyes to do the typing appears in Wednesday’s edition of the journal Nature. Replacing a keyboard or mouse, eye-scanning-cameras mounted on computers have become necessary tools for people without limbs or those affected with paralysis. The camera tracks the movement of the eye, allowing users to “type” on a virtual keyboard as they look at the screen. And now, researchers from the Cavendish Laboratory at
The letters of the alphabet appear in a single column on the right of the screen, with an underline symbol to represent a space. Each letter is framed by a colored box. As the user looks at a particular letter on the right side of the screen and drags it to the left with their eye, another sub-alphabet column begins to emerge inside the box on the right-hand side, along with more letters framed in colored boxes. Dasher is designed to anticipate which letter will be needed, so although the successive sub-alphabet columns are initially very small, the letters or combination of letters that appear are most likely to be used next in that sequence. For example, if a person starts with the letter “h”, the language models in Dasher will bring up “a” “e” “i” “o” and “u” in the sub-alphabet box, along with a few other possible combinations like “ello” to form the word “hello”. Each box has a complete alphabet within it, though the first letters to appear have the highest probability of usage. The letters are then placed together to form a sentence on the left side of the screen.
Researchers say people will be able to write up to 25 words per minute with Dasher compared to on-screen keyboards, which they say average about 15 words per minute. With a bit of practice, MacKay said, Dasher offers an easier and more satisfying way for disabled people to communicate, providing them with better tools to write e-mail or create word processor files. Mackay said Dasher could work in most languages.
72. With the new software Dasher, people can type with their eyes through_____.
A. a computer screen with eye-scanning sensors
B. an eye-scanning camera on computer
C. a colored box attached to the computer
D. a regular keyboard with sensors
73. The new method of typing will most benefit those people who___________ .
A. have reading difficulties B are visually incompetent
C. are physically challenged. D. do not have a big vocabulary
74. The software Dasher_______________ .
A. is able to predict the next sequence of words the user is going to write
B. can form coherent sentences based on the first word typed in by the user
C. has to be used with eye-scanning cameras specially designed for the
software
D. does not allow the user to move a lot during the interaction
75. Which of the following is true about Dasher?
A. It can be used to write ten more words than on screen keyboard per minute.
B. It is easier to use than ordinary keyboards.
C. It can provide hints for possible sentences to be written.
D. It is an independent text processor.
