For those who believe that technological progress has made the world a better place, such disruption is a natural part of rising ___38___. Although innovation kills some jobs, it creates new and better ones, as a more ___39___ society becomes richer and its wealthier inhabitants demand more goods and services.

Passage Two
Questions 61-65 are based on the following passage.
Some of the world’s most significant problems never hit headlines.One example comes from agriculture. Food riots and hunger make news. But the trend lying behind these matters is rarely talked about. This is the decline in the growth in yields of some of the world’s major crops.A new study by the University of Minnesota and McGill University in Montreal looks at where, and how far, this decline is occurring.
The authors take a vast number of data points for the four most important crops: rice, wheat corn and soybeans(大豆). They find that on between 24% and 39% of all harvested areas, the improvement in yields that tood place before the 1980s slowed down in the 1990s and 2000s.
There are two worrying features of the slowdown. One is that it has been particularly sharp in the world’s most populous(人口多的) countries, India and China. Their ability to feed themselves has been an important source of relative stability both within the countries and on world food markets. That self-sufficiency cannot be taken for granted if yields continue to slow down or reverse.【六级考试答案】
Second, yield growth has been lower in wheat and rice than in corn and soyabeans. This is problematic because wheat and rice are more important as foods, accounting for around half of all calories consumed. Corn and soyabeans are more important as feed grains. The authors note that “we have preferentially focused our crop improvement efforts on feeding animals and cars rather than on crops that feed people and are the basis of food security in much of the world.”
The report qualifies the more optimistic findings of another new paper which suggests that the world will not have to dig up a lot more land for farming in order to feed 9 billion people in 2050, as the Food and Agriculture Organisation has argued.

Instead, it says, thanks to slowing population growth, land currently ploughted up for crops might be able to revert(回返)to forest or wilderness. This could happen. The trouble is that the forecast assumes continued improvements in yields, which may not actually happen.
注意:此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。
61.What does the author try to draw attention to?
A)Food riots and hunger in the world. C)The decline of the grain yield growth.
B)News headlines in the leading media. D)The food supply in populous countries.
62.Why does the author mention India and China in particular?
A)Their self-sufficiency is vital to the stability of world food markets.
B)Their food yields have begun to decrease sharply in recent years.
C)Their big populations are causing worldwide concerns.
D)Their food self-sufficiency has been taken for granted.
63.What does the new study by the two universities say about recent crop improvement efforts?
A)They fail to produce the same remarkable results as before the 1980s.
B)They contribute a lot to the improvement of human food production.
C)They play a major role in guaranteeing the food security of the world.
D)They focus more on the increase of animal feed than human food grains.
64.What does the Food and Agriculture Organisation say about world food production in the coming decades?
A)The growing population will greatly increase the pressure on world food supplies.
B)The optimistic prediction about food production should be viewed with caution.
C)The slowdown of the growth in yields of major food crops will be reversed.
D)The world will be able to feed its population without increasing farmland.
65.How does the author view the argument of the Food and Agriculture Organisation?
A)It is built on the findings of a new study.
B)It is based on a doubtful assumption.
C)It is backed by strong evidence.
D)It is open to further discussion.

【2015年6月六级选词填空重点词汇汇总】
prosperity n. 繁荣，成功
displaced adj. 无家可归的，被取代的
responsive adj. 响应的;应答的;回答的
sentiment n. 感情;情绪;情操

withdrawn n. 取出，撤退
productive adj. 能生产的，富有成效的
今年的选词填空题仍旧是大家所熟悉的小短文的形式，题材也是大家熟悉的社会生活类文章，主要讲的是创新带来的各种影响。命题者考查的角度主要分为以下几个方面：
⑴固定搭配
36.In the Industrial Revolution, hand weavers were ____aside by the mechanical loom.
这个句子考查的就是词组的固定搭配了，这句话的含义是：在工业革命中，手织布工被纺织机_____.在后面这句话中，hand weavers是主语，were ____aside是谓语动词，而且是表示被动的。所以填在横线处的词，既要是一个表示被动的词，又要和aside构成词组，且符合句子的含义。Swept是sweep的过去式，sweep aside表示“把...移到一边”的含义。这句话讲的是工业革命中，机器生产代替工场手工业，把手织布工取代，放到一边的事情，所以swept是正确选项。
⑵上下文语境
37.Over the past years, the digital revolution has _____ many of the mid-skilled jobs that supported 20th-century middle class life.Typist, ticket agents, bank tellers and many production-line jobs have been dispensed with, just as the weavers were.
这一段话主要讲述了数字化革命代替了许多生产线上工人的工作。从这个语境可以看出，前面的一句话和后面是承接的关系，因为并无转折。在后面一句话中谈到，打字员、订票员和其他的生产线上的工人，都和手织布工一样被取代了。由于两句话之间是承接、并列
的关系，那么前面肯定也是说数字化革命取代了一些人的工作。所以，此处空格处缺的是一个动词，和has一起构成谓语动词，且表示“取代”的含义，在所有的已知词汇中，只有displaced符合条件。
从上面的分析我们可以看出，备考大学英语六级不仅仅是背词汇那么简单，在做题的时候除了必要的词汇之外，我们还要有扎实的语法基本功，同时要学会融会贯通，灵活运用上下文的各种线索来帮助解题。只要平时一步一个脚印的稳扎稳打，文都英语老师相信，你们一定可以获得这场战争的胜利!

The Importance of Practice
“Knowledge is a treasure, but practice is the key to it” is a proverb vividly showing the relationship between knowledge and practice. Apparently, this saying delivers the message that if we want to truly acquire the knowledge, we ought not to stop practicing what we’ve learned.
As for us college students, practice is of great importance. There are two reasons for this statement. To begin with, it is by practice that we can apply the knowledge we have obtained from our textbooks to solving practical problems. By doing so, we can get more experience. What’s more, knowledge has become so growingly complicated that if we don’t ponder over it again and again, we cannot genuinely grasp the essence of it. Oral English learning is a good case in point. Even if one is extremely familiar with the grammar of the language, he will never be a fluent speaker if he doesn’t open his mouth to speak.
To sum up, practice is of great importance for those who are determined to truly grasp knowledge. Practice not only assists us in getting more social experience, but also enables us to capture the essence of knowledge.

翻译
The traditional Chinese hospitality requires that the foods served are so diverse that guests cannot eat up all the dishes. A typical Chinese banquet menu includes cold dishes served at the beginning, followed by hot dishes, such as meat, poultry, vegetables, and so on. At most banquets, the whole fish is considered to be essential, unless various kinds of seafood have been served. Nowadays, Chinese people would like to combine Western specialties with traditional Chinese dishes. Therefore, it is not rare to see steak being served, either. Salad has also been catching on, although traditionally Chinese people generally do not eat any food without cooking. There is usually at least a bowl of soup, served either at the beginning or in the end of the banquet. Desserts and fruit usually mark the end of the banquet.

On Curiosity
Albert Einstein once said, “I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious.” Simple as the remark may sound, it informs us of the significance of curiosity. Actually doing everything curiously is conducive to our development and eventually leads us to success.
For one thing, curiosity is an important source of creativity, which is the key to success. Let’s take Edison as an example. It was curiosity that made him invent so many things and achieved great success in his career. For another, curiosity is the driving force for us to go forward. Curiosity can change boredom into freshness, which will make us acquire new knowledge constantly. Last but not least, curiosity is helpful in resolving difficulties one by one. A person with curiosity is prone to find the essence of the problem and overcome various difficulties.
From what has been mentioned above, curiosity is very important and helpful in personal development. Being enthusiastic about curiosity helps us achieve success sooner or later.
