　　Ⅲ.阅读理解

　　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。

　　Deputy Agriculture Secretary Kathleen Merrigan sees an epidemic(流行病)sweeping across America’s farmland.It has little to do with the usual challenges，such as flood，rising fuel prices and crop­eating insects.The country’s farmers are getting older，and there are fewer people standing in line to take their place.National agricultural census(普查)figures show that the fastest­growing group of farmers is the part over 65.Merrigan is afraid the average age will be even higher when the 2012 statistics are completed.

　　Merrigan，a former college professor，is making stops at universities across the country in hopes of encouraging more students to think about careers in agriculture.Aside from trying to stop the graying of America’s farmers，her work is made tougher by a recent blog posting that put agriculture at No.1 on a list of“useless”college degrees.Top federal agriculture officials are talking about the posting，and it has the attention of agricultural organizations across the country.

　　“There couldn’t be anything that’s more incorrect，”Merrigan said.“We know that there aren’t enough qualified graduates to fill the jobs that are out there in American agriculture.”

　　In addition，a growing world population that some experts predict will require 70% more food production by 2050，she said.

　　“I truly believe we’re at a golden age of agriculture.Global demand is at an all­time record high，and global supplies are at all­time record lows，”said Matt Rush，director of the Texas Farm Bureau.“Production costs are going to be valuable enough that younger people are going to have the opportunity to be involved in agriculture.”

　　The Department of Agriculture has programs aimed at developing more farmers and at inereasing interest in locally grown food.The National Young Farmers’Coalition has also been pushing for state and federal policy changes to make it easier for new farmers.

　　Ryan Best，president of Future Farmers of America，has been living out of a suitcase，traveling the country and visiting with high school students about careers in agriculture.The 21­year­old Best hopes his message—that this is a new time in agriculture—will motivate the next generation to_turn_around_the_statistics.“Never before have we had the innovations(创新)in technology which have led to agriculture in this country being the most efficient it has ever been，”he said.“There’s really a place for everybody to fit in.”

　　36．What is the new challenge to American agriculture?

　　A．Fewer and older farmers.

　　B．Higher fuel prices.

　　C．More natural disasters.

　　D．Lower agricultural output.

　　解析：细节理解题。根据第一段第2句可知B、C、D三项均为往常的困难，而The country’s farmers are getting older，and there are fewer people standing in line to take their place.一句说明新的困难是农民老龄化而且缺乏后备军。

　　答案：A

　　37．Why is Merrigan visiting universities across the country?

　　A．To draw federal agriculture officials’attention.

　　B．To select qualified agriculture graduates.

　　C．To clarify a recent blog posting.

　　D．To talk more students into farming careers.

　　解析：细节理解题。根据第二段第1句可知Merrigan教授走访全国各地的大学是希望鼓励更多学生考虑从事农业，选D。

　　答案：D

　　38．According to Matt Rush，American agriculture will provide opportunities for younger

　　people because________.

　　A．the government will cover production costs.

　　B．global food supplies will be even lower

　　C．investment in agriculture will be profitable

　　D．America will increase its food export

　　解析：推理判断题。根据第五段Matt Rush 所说的话可知，全球需求出现历史新高而全球供应出现低潮，农业处于黄金时代。年青人对生产成本的投入将会很有价值。由此可推断年青人对农业生产的投资将会获益。

　　答案：C

　　39．What do the underlined words“to turn around the statistics”in the last paragraph mean?

　　A．To re­analyze the result of the national census.

　　B．To increase agricultural production.

　　C．To bring down the average age of farmers.

　　D．To invest more in agriculture.

　　解析：词义理解题。turn around the statistics 意为“扭转或改变统计”，而2012年完成的统计说明农民平均年龄要超过65岁。鼓励年青的学生从事农业就是要降低平均年龄。

　　答案：C
