Prateek Sharma was born into a family of farmers. After 10 years of being a chief
manager of Kotak Mahindra Bank, he did a good job and earned a good pay. But Prateek
couldn’t continue the corporation life with ease, as his heart was always in farming So he
worked as a banker on weekdays and on weekends travelled 100 km to get to his 5-acre in
Dhaba Khurd.
By the end of 2015, Prateek had set up a house on his farm to grow offseason vegetables.
Prateek thought he’d quit his job once he was able to earn enough from farming but this
wasn’t an easy decision to make This was because costs to grow these vegetables were very
high, along with the fact that farmers weren’t a part of the value chain and thus couldn’t
decide the price of their own vegetables.
Fortunately, Prateek met Vinay Yadav, another educated farmer. They then decided to
start their own value chain and sell their vegetables and grains, while skipping the middlemen.
The variety of vegetables they grew wasn’t enough, so they decided to form a group of
farmers.
Once the plan was ready, the group was registered by the name of Farmer Producer
Organization (FPO) However, the trial failed in the first year as most of the farmers were
grain growers and had limited knowledge of growing vegetables However, the largest reason
was the switch to organic from chemical.2
Luckily, once the soil was used to organic methods, the next round of crops were successful
and the FPO had a good amount of produce So at the end of 2017, Prateek finally quit his job and
devoted all his time to farming Now he’s successful and recently his team has started two farmer
resource centers at Dhaba Khurd and Nathrula Canj.
24. Why did Prateek have trouble continuing his life as a bunker?
A. He felt it so boring to be a banker.
B. He almost never satisfied his boss.
C. He was enthusiastic about farming.
D. He found farming easier to do well.
25. Why was it difficult for Prateek to decide on quitting his job?
A The income from farming wasn’t much
B. The prices of organic products were low
C. He had no money to put into farming
D. He found farming produce hard to sell
26. What did Prateek and Vinay Yadav set about doing after they met?
A. Adding the kinds of vegetables grown.
B. Raising the prices of their products.
C. Switching from chemical to organic.
D. Building their own marketing system.
27. What mainly resulted in the failure of FPO’s first year trial?
A Their no experience in growing vegetables.
B. The soil’s not adapting to organic farming.
C. Their poor management on the employees.
D. The wrong ways of doing organic farming.
C
Science is finally beginning to hug animals who were, for a long time, considered second-class
citizens.
As Annie Potts of Canterbury University has noted, chickens distinguish among one hundred
chicken faces and recognize familiar individuals even after months of separation. When given
problems to solve, they reason: hens trained to pick colored buttons sometimes choose to give up an
immediate food reward for a slightly later (and better) one. Healthy hens may aid friends, and mourn
when those friend die.
Pigs respond meaningfully to human symbols. When a research team led by Candace
Croney at Penn State University carried wooden blocks marked with X and O symbols around
pigs, only the O carriers offered food to the animals. The pigs soon ignored the X carriers in
favor of the O’s. Then the team switched from real-life objects to T-shirts printed with X or O
symbols. Still, the pigs walked only toward the O-shirted people: they had transferred their
knowledge to a two-dimensional format, a not inconsiderable skill of reasoning.
I’ve been guilty of prejudiced opinions, myself At the start of my career almost four
decades ago, I was firmly convinced that monkeys and apes out-think and out-feel other
animals. They’re other primates (灵长目动物), after all animals from our own mammal class
Fairly soon.. I came to see that along with our closest living relatives, whales too are masters
of cultural learning and elephants express profound joy and mourning with their social
companions. Long-term studies in the wild on these mammals helped to fuel a viewpoint shift
in our society: the public no longer so easily accepts monkeys made to go through painful
procedure in laboratories, elephants forced to perform in circuses, and dolphins kept in small
tanks at theme parks.
Over time, though, as I began to broaden out even further and explore the inner lives of
fish, chickens, pigs, goats, and cows, I started to wonder. Will the new science of “food
animals” bring an ethical (伦理的) revolution in terms of who we eat? In other words, will
our ethics start to catch up with the development of our science?
Animal activists are already there, of course, committed to not eating these animals. But
what about the rest of us? Can paying attention to the thinking and feeling of these animals
lead us to make changes in who we eat?
28. According to Annie Potts, hens have the ability of ________.
A. abstraction B. creation C. analysis D. interaction
29. The research into pigs shows that pigs ________.
A. have a good eyesight
B. learn letters quickly
C. can apply knowledge to new situations
D. can build up a good relationship
30. Paragraph 4 is mainly about ________.
A. a change in people’s attitudes towards animals3
B. the necessity of long-term studies on mammals
C. the similarities between mammals and humans
D. a discovery of how animals express themselves
31. What might be the best title for the passage?
A. A Revolution in Food Animals. B. Science Reports on Food Animals.
C. The Lifestyles of Food Animals. D. The Inner Lives of Food Animals.

Language learning apps are very popular now and offer opportunities to learn vocabulary and
practice grammar. But there has been a discussion about just how effective such apps can be.
Among the most popular apps are Duolingo and Busuu. A previous research found positive
results on the use of them. But it mainly concentrates on studies with learners who had signed up for
language courses and these apps worked as an after-class support, so the results were not always
reliable. A recent study of 4,095 Busuu users has been carried out to find out if users can actually
learn a language with an app.
Busuu provides learning materials for 12 different languages. It offers special models where
some contents are available for free while some contents are not. We find that its users are an even
mix of men and women. More than half consider themselves to be at the beginner level as there is a
decrease in users as their language levels go up. Most people use the app because of personal
interest, or because they want to study or live abroad. Females tend to use it less often but for longer
periods of time than male users.
Getting any feedback on Busuu depends on whether your answer is correct or not. While it is
helpful, this is not the sort of feedback language teachers prefer, as it does not explain why the
answer is right or wrong In spite of this, feedback in the app is very highly rated.
More than 92% of the people state that the app has met their expectations and 86% consider the
app as very good or good. In fact, more than 80 of the users surveyed strongly agree that using the
app has helped them improve their knowledge of the language they are learning.
Besides, language learning apps also create an environment where mistakes are only known to
the users, and this can address the performance anxiety that many learners suffer from when asked
to speak a foreign language So language teachers should encourage their students to use them to do
the grammar work, leaving precious class time for more language communication.
32. Why weren’t the results of the former research always dependable?
A. Because it used out-of-date methods.
B. Because it only considered users of a limited type.
C. Because it was only carried out before class.
D. Because it just focused on positive results.
33. What can we lean about the app Busuu from the text?
A. Most users consider it satisfying
B. It’s used by more advanced learners
C. All the contents are free to use
D. It’s more popular with female learners
34. Which of the following can probably replace the underlined word address?
A. Deal with. B. Write down. C. Turn to. D. Speak of.
35. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Students should be required to use apps for homework after class.
B. Students won’t suffer anxiety in learning languages by using Busuu.
C. Language learning apps are very popular with most language teachers.
D Language learning apps are effective and satisfactory to language learners.

time.
