A
Cats are the most popular pets among Americans. So it is not surprising that there are many expressions about cats.
Some cats like to catch small birds, like canaries(金丝雀). If someone looks very proud of himself or satisfied with himself, we say, “He looks like the cat that ate the canary.”
Sometimes, a cat likes to play with a small animal it catches. So if you play cat and mouse with someone, you change between different kinds of behavior when dealing with another person. For example, a child might offer something sweet to her little brother and then take it away when he reaches for it.
Children might call a child who is easily frightened a fraidy cat or a scaredy cat. A copycat is someone who acts just like someone else or copies another person's work. A fat cat is a person with a lot of money.
If you tell about something that is supposed to be a secret, we say you “let the cat out of the bag”. If you are not able to speak or answer a question, someone might ask, “Has the cat got your tongue？”
Have you ever watched children in a classroom when their teacher leaves for a few minutes? “When the cat's away, the mice will play.” means people sometimes misbehave when there is no supervision(监督)．
You may have heard of this expression－curiosity killed the cat. This means being too concerned about things that are not your business might cause problems.
If your home is very small, you might say there is not enough room to swing a cat. But you probably should not try this at home!
If you've ever had cats as pets, you know it is difficult to train them or to get them to do something. Cats are not like sheep or cows that can be moved in a group. So we say a difficult or an impossible job is like herding cats.

In the past, agriculture is not based on science. Farmers knew little about how to make soil rich. They threw away manure (粪便) instead of spreading it back on the fields to keep soil rich. Repeatedly grow the same crops on any given field until that field would fail to produce that crop, then give up that field for a decade or so, and go right back to grow the same crop.
Pre-modern agriculture did not understand why certain crops did very poorly on
certain fields, but they did observe it, and they tried something different. They grew certain crops on land that grew an oak tree, other crops on lands that grew pine trees.
Knowledge of the needs of given crops for soil drainage(排水) was developing pre-science. Farmers learned that grain would die if the ground stayed too wet for too long. This kind of reasoning of course is the starting base of the science of agriculture. We should understand that a lot of observation took place well before serious scientific study of agriculture began.
There have been problems with modern agriculture. When we send a tractor operator out to drive heavy equipment over soft soil, do we call it modern agriculture or stupidity to leave the tire traction spot unchanged? Soil compaction(压紧) from the use of heavy machinery on soil too wet to properly support that machinery is often known as a problem of modern agriculture. But knowledge of the problem and its avoidance has been widely known for 70 years.
In general it is not the use of science in agriculture that has caused problems but the failure of farmers to apply the detailed knowledge available to them, failure to use real science that has caused the problem.
25. For lack of knowledge of science, farmers in the old days ________. A. didn't know how to make soil rich B. only spread manure to the field
C. grew the same crop in the same field every other year D. grew various crops in the same field repeatedly
26. Which of the following is NOT true about the period of pre-modern
agriculture?
A. Farmers learned to observe the growing of crops.
B. Farmers have known why some crops grow poorly on certain fields.
C. Farmers realized the importance of keeping field from being too wet. D. Farmers learned to grow different crops on different fields.
27. In the eyes of the writer, modern agriculture ________.
A. has solved all the problems of the past
B. develops greatly and fast for the use of science C. brings about some new problems too
D. makes it possible for farmers to keep away from any problems
28. What is mainly discussed in this passage?
A. Farmer's life.
B. Farming conditions.
C. Problems of each farming period. D. Farming machines.

Scientists have learned a great deal about the kinds of food people need. They say that there are seven kinds of food that people should eat every day. There are：
(1)green and yellow vegetables of all kinds； (2)citrus(柑橘类) fruits and tomatoes；
(3)potatoes and other fruits and vegetables； (4)meat of all kinds, fish and vegetables；
(5)milk and foods made from milk，such as cheese and ice-cream；
(6)bread or cereal(谷类); rice is also in this kind of foods； (7)butter, or something like butter, containing fat.
People in different countries and different areas of the world eat different kinds of things. Foods are prepared, cooked and eaten in many different kinds of ways. People in different countries eat in different times of the day. In some places people eat three or four times a day. Scientists say that none of these differences is really important. It doesn't matter whether foods are eaten raw (生的) or cooked，canned(罐装的) or frozen(冷冻的). It doesn't matter if a person eats dinner at 4 o'clock in the afternoon or at eleven o'clock at night. The important thing is that every day a person should eat something from each of the seven kinds of food.
There are two problems, then, in feeding the large number of people on earth. The first is to find some way to feed the world population so that no one is hungry. The second is to make sure that people everywhere have the right kinds of food to make them grow to be strong and healthy.
29. It is important that people should ________. A. eat three times a day B. eat cooked food
C. eat dinner at seven o'clock
D. eat something from each of the seven kinds of food every day
30. From the passage we can know that ________.
A. people should eat ice-cream every day
