                                      D 

                 Petrarch was a devoted classical scholar who is considered the “Father of Humanism,”a philosophy that helped set the stage for the Renaissance. Petrarch's writing includes well--known poems to Laura,his idealized love. His writing was also used to shape the modem Italian language.

                 Petrarch was bom on July 20 ,1304,in Italy. With his family,he moved to France as a child. In France,Petrarch studied law,as his father had wished. However,his interest was in literature,particularly that of ancient Greece and Rome. After his father's death in 1326,Petrarch left law to focus on the classics.

                 As Petrarch learned more about the classical period,he began to respect that time greatly and fight against the limitations of his own time. Though he felt that he lived "among varied and confusing storms,” Petrarch believed that humanity could once more reach the heights of past accomplishments. The belief he followed became known as humanism,and formed a bridge from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance.

                 Petrarch's other interest was writing. His first pieces were poems that he wrote after the death of his mother. He would go on to write sonnets(十四行詩） letters,histories and more. Petrarch's writing was greatly admired during his lifetime,and he was nameci Rome's poet laureate(桂冠詩人) in 1341. The work Petrarch held in highest regard was his Latin composition an epic poem (史

詩) about the Second Punic War. His vernacular (用方言寫的) poems achieved greater fame , however,and would later be used to help create the modem Italian language.

                 As one of the world's first classical scholars , Petrarch uncovered vast stores of knowledge in the lost texts he discovered,while his philosophy of humanism helped encourage the intellectual growth and accomplishments of the Renaissance. Petrarch is remembered for his poems,sonnets and other writing.His vernacular writing was given everlasting fame when it was used—alongside;the works of Dante Alighieri and Giovanni i Boccaccio—as the foundation for the modern Italian language.

                                         C 

                 Genetically modified (GM) foods (轉(zhuǎn)基因食品) have been around for many years. They are developed for a number of different reasons — to fight disease,resist pests,improve nutrition,survive drought — and are mainly found in our food supply in processed foods using com,soybeans and as feed for farm animals. Are they safe? How do they affect the environment? Can they improve food security? Is the world better off with or without GM foods?

                 Supporters of GM foods say that farmers who grow these crops are able to use fewer environmentally damaging farm chemicals. The increased output is important to feeding the world's growing population. And many studies have shown that GM foods are safe to eat and that there's no actual evidence of any health risks. They also add that the oods have been thoroughly examined and have gamed approval for eating from a wide variety of government and scientific bodies.

                 Critics,however,are concerned that these foods have not been strictly tested and are potentially dangerous for both the environment and people's health. They say farmers growing GM crops have actually increased their use of farm chemicals. And the widespread use of the crops,they say,has also led to an increase in weeds and insects that have resistance to farm chemicals. And,they argue,there is still no scientific evidence of the long-term safety of these foods.

                 Four scientists recently took on those questions in a debate,facing off two against two on GM foods. In these Oxford-style debates,the team that gets the most people on its side by the end is the winner.

                 Before the debate,the audience at the Kaufman Music Center in New York voted 32 percent in favor of GM foods,with 30 percent against and 38 percent undecided. Afterward,60  percent agreed with GM foods,and 31 percent disagreed — making the side arguing in favor of GM foods the winners of this debate.

29. What's the main purpose of Paragraph 1 ?

   A. To advertise GM foods.

   B. To show what GM foods are.

   C. To introduqe the topic of the text.

   D. To explain why GM foods are developed.

30. What's the main focus of the debate?

   A. The necessity of producing GM foods.

   B. Whether GM crops can help to avoid hunger.

   C. Whether GM. foods are scientifically examined.

   D. GM foods’ effect on human health and the environment.

31. What do we know about the debate at the Kaufman Music Center?

   A. There were four votes for the debate.

   B. About half of the audience had no idea about it.

   C. It was a face-to-face debate between two and two.

   D. The winner of the debate was decided by the judges.

32. What percentage of the audience supported the winner of the debate?

   A. 31 percent. B. 38 percent.

   C. 60 percent. D. 92 percent.

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D) 中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

                                          A 

                It was on one beautiful morning in the year 1966 when a charming and attractive man visited a Greek restaurant in London with his friends. It was like any other hangout time for him. But little did he know that his life was soon going to change.

                Sonia Maino,who was working at the same restaurant as a part-time waitress for her pocket money,soon saw him and felt an instant connection with the young and good-looking man. It was love at first sight for both. Sonia came from an ordinary background in Italy,and was studying at Cambridge at that time.

                After spending a long time on courtship(戀愛期) ，Sonia discovered that the guy of her dreams was none other than Rajiv Gandhi,son of the first political family of India. The two tied the knot in Delhi in 1968. Who would have ever thought that this love at first sight would land an ordinary girl from Italy into the Forbes list of most powerful people in the world?

                An Italian girl was not of course what India's first family,the Nehru-Gandhi family,was looking for.Rajiv's  mother,Indira Gandhi was initially unsatisfied with the marriage. But as time passed,Indira and Sonia developed an inseparable bond.

                Rajiv desired to stay away from the glare of politics and so did Sonia. Rajiv became a pilot for Indian Airlines and the couple lived a peaceful life. But destiny(命運(yùn)) had something else in store for them. Rajiv1's mother and former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was assassinated in 1984. Her death forced Rajiv to take over his mother's place and join politics. Rajiv ruled as Prime Minister till 1989. He was assassinated in a bomb attack in 1991.

                After Rajiv's ill-timed death,Sonia was so desperate that she decided to stay away from politics. But probably it was Rajiv's love that gave her the strength to gather herself and take over (國大黨) ，which was in a worsening condition. She led the party to victory in the 2004 and 2009 elections but refused to become Prime Minister,when the opposite party raised the question of her Italian origin.
