　　Directions：Read the following essay and put it into Chinese.
　　As supplier of most of the food we eat and of raw material, for many industrial processes，agriculture is clearly an important area of the economy. But the industrial performance ofagriculture is even more important than this. For in nations where the productivity of farmers is
　　low, most of the working population is needed to raise food and few people are available forproduction of investment goods or for other activities required for economic growth. Indeed, oneof the factors related most closely to the per capita income(人均收入)of a nation is the fraction(一部分)of its population engaged in farming. In the poorest nations of the World, more than half ofthe population lives on farms. This compares sharply with less than 10％in western Europe and
　　less than 4％in the United States.
　　In short, the course of economic development in general depends in a fundamental way onthe performance of farmers. This performance, in turn, depends on how agriculture is organizedand on the economic environment，or market structure, within which it functions．In the followingpages the performance of American agriculture is examined. It is appropriate to begin with aconsideration of its market structure.

　　Passage 1
　　An expert suggested that certain criminals should be sent to prison in their own home. Whenthe scheme was first put forward publicly, many people opposed it or hand serious reservationsabout it. One very experienced social worker opposed the scheme in a television interview. Whenasked to explain the basis for his opposition, he thought for a moment and finally confessed,‘Well，I guess, because it’s new. That's my only reason. '
　　Advocates of the scheme pointed out that courts frequently sentenced first offenders tocommunity service of some kind rather than send them to prison. The stigma of having a criminalrecord was an adequate deterrent, and nothing positive was achieved by sending some types ofconvicted people to prison.
　　Some critics rushed to take extreme cases. ‘If a murderer is allowed free in the communitylike this, what is to prevent him from killing somebody else?’ This argument ignored the fact thatnobody proposed to allow convicted murderers to use the bracelet system. One criticism putforward was that an offender could take off his bracelet and leave it at home or give it to a friendto wear while he himself wet off to commit another crime. The reply to this was that the braceletwould be made so that the computer would immediately detect any attempts to take it off ortamper with it.
　　A most serious objection to the scheme was that the harsh life of prison was intended to bepart of the deterrent to crime. A prisoner who was allowed to live at home would suffer noparticular discomfort and thus not be deterred from repeating his crime.
　　No immediate action was taken on the proposal. It was far too revolutionary and needed to beexamined very carefully. However, the idea was not rejected. Several governments appointedexperts to investigate the scheme and make recommendations for or against it.
　　1．People’s opinions are divided on the suggestion that .
　　A. some criminals should serve their terms at homeB. social workers can express themselves on TV
　　C. first offenders should be sentenced to community service
　　D. old offenders should be imprisoned
　　2．A social worker opposed the proposal for the reason that .
　　A．it is unique
　　B. it is creative
　　C. it is novel
　　D. it is out-of-date
　　3. We can learn from the passage that the "bracelet" is supposed to
　　A. keep the track of the offenders
　　B. detect the offender's attempt of murder
　　C. be worn for decoration
　　D. be worn by offenders' friends occasionally
　　4. The supporters of the scheme will probably agree that
　　A. the hard life of prison may prevent some people from repeating a crime
　　B. the life at home is too comfortable for the prisoners
　　C. high-technology should be deterrent to crime
　　D. imprisonment will not achieve much to some offenders
　　5. The prospect of the advice is that
　　A. it will be put into practice immediately
　　B. it will be declined by the government
　　C. it will be further carefully looked into
　　D. it will be confirmed by appointed experts

　　六、(2008 年南京农业大学)
　　I had an experience some years ago which taught me something about the ways inwhich
　　people make a bad situation worse by blaming themselves．One January，I had to of—ficiate at
　　two funerals on successive days for two elderly women in my community．Bothhad died“full of
　　years．’’as the Bible would say；both yielded to the normal wearing OUt ofthe body after a long
　　and full life．Their homes happened to be near each other，SO I paidcondolence(吊唁)calls on the
　　two families on the same afternoon．
　　At the first home, the son of the deceased(已故的)woman said to me, “If only I had sent my
　　mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow, she would be alive today. It’s my fault
　　that she died.”At the second home，the son of the other deceased woman said, “If only I hadn’t
　　insisted on my mother’s going to Florida, she would be alive today. That long airplane ride, the
　　abrupt change of climate, was more than she could take. It’s my fault that she’s dead.”
　　When things don’t turn out as we would like them to, it is very tempting to assume that had we
　　done things differently, the story would have had a happier ending. Priests know that any time
　　there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty. Because the course action they took turned out badly,
　　they believe that the opposite course-keeping Mother at home, postponing the operation--would
　　have turned out better. After all, how could it have turned out any worse?
　　There seem to be two elements involved in our readiness to feel guilt. The first is our
　　pressing need to believe that the world makes sense, that there is a cause for every effect and a
　　reason for everything that happens. That leads us to find patterns and connections both where they
　　really exist and where they exist only in our minds.
　　The second element is the notion that we are the cause of what happens, especially the bad
　　things that happen. It seems to be a short step from believing that every event has a cause to
　　believing that every disaster is our fault. The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood.
　　Psychologists speak of the infantile myth of omnipotence(**). A baby comes to think that the
　　world exists to meet his needs, and that he makes everything happen in it. He wakes up in the
　　morning and summons the rest of the world to its tasks. He cries, and someone comes to attend to
　　him. When he is hungry, people feed him，and when he is wet, people change him. Very often，
　　we do not completely outgrow that infantile notion that our wishes cause things to happen.
　　1. What is said about the two deceased elderly women?
　　A) They lived Out a natural life.
　　B) They died of exhaustion after the long plane ride.
　　C) They weren’t accustomed to the change in weather.
　　D) They died due to lack of care by family members.
　　2. The author had to conduct the two women’s funerals probably because .
　　A)he wanted to console the two families
　　B)he was an official from the community
　　C)he had great sympathy for the deceased
　　D)he was priest of the local church
　　3. People feel guilty for the deaths of their loved ones because
　　A)they couldn’t find a better way to express their grief
　　B)they believe that they were responsible
　　C)they had neglected the natural course of events
　　D)they didn’t know things often turn out in the opposite direction
　　4. In the context of the passage，“……the world makes sense’’(Line 2，Para，4) probably means
　　that .
　　A) everything in the world is predetermined
　　B) the world can be interpreted in different ways
　　C) there’s an explanation for everything in the world
　　D) we have to be sensible in order to understand the world
　　5. People have been made to believe since infancy that .
　　A) everybody is at their command
　　B) life and death is an unsolved mystery
　　C) every story should have a happy ending
　　D) their wishes are the cause of everything that happens
