The United Nations says forty million people or so around the world went hungry in 2008，mainly because of higher food prices. Early estimates from the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) show that 963 million people did not get enough to eat.

World food prices have dropped since early 2008．Prices of major crops have decreased by more than half from their height earlier last year. But they remain high compared to earlier years．

But FAO official Hafez Ghana says lower prices have failed to end the food crisis（危机）in many poor countries．"For millions in developing countries," he says, "getting enough food every day to live an active and healthy life is a distant dream.”

The FAO says food shortage is a threat to people's health．Today, two-thirds of the world's undernourished people live in just a few countries. These are India, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Pakistan, Ethiopia and so on.

A report on food insecurity warns that the current economic crisis could send even more people into hunger and poverty.

In sub-Saharan Africa, the percentage of the people who continually go hungry fell from 34% in 1997 to 30% in 2008．But the FAO says Ghana is the only country that has reached two sets of hunger reduction targets．These were set by the 1996 World Food Summit and the Millennium Development Goals．The main reason is the growth in agricultural production in Ghana.

The FAO says some countries in Southeast Asia like Thailand and Vietnam have made progress in hunger reduction goals．But South Asia and Central Asia haven't, and North Korea is still in hot water.

31. What FAO official Hafez Ghana says implies ＿．

A. it's easy but takes long to provide people with enough food

B. enough food can make people more active and healthier

C. there is difficulty solving the food shortage in a short time

D. people in developing countries will never get enough food

32. Ghana has reached the targets of hunger reduction mainly because of ＿．

A. the still high food prices                      

B. the donation of developed countries

C. the two targets of hunger reduction      

D. the growth in agricultural production

33. The underlined word "undernourished" in Para. 4 probably means ＿．

A. hungry and unhappy                       B. unhealthy for lack of food

C. not fat because of poverty               D. undeveloped and poor

34. Which country has not made progress in hunger reduction?

A. North Korea    B. Thailand      C. Vietnam     D. Ghana

35. What is the best title of this passage?

A. The food production of the world

B.    The hunger reduction target of the FAO

C.    The food shortage around the world

D.    The solution to the global food shortage

If you ask people to name the one person who had the greatest effect on the English language, you will get answers like “Shakespeare,” “Samuel Johnson,” and “Webster,” but none of these men had any effect at all compared to a man who didn’t even speak English – William the Conqueror.

Before 1066, in the land we now call Great Britain lived peoples belonging to two major language groups. In the west-central region lived the Welsh, who spoke a Celtic language, and in the north lived the Scots, whose language, though not the same as Welsh, was also Celtic. In the rest of the country lived the Saxons, actually a mixture of Anglos, Saxons, and other Germanic and Nordic peoples, who spoke what we now call Anglo-Saxon (or Old English), a Germanic language. If this state of affairs had lasted, English today would be close to German.

But this state of affairs did not last. In 1066 the Normans led by William defeated the Saxons and began their rule over England. For about a century, French became the official language of England while Old English became the language of peasants. As a result, English words of politics and the law come from French rather than German. In some cases, modern English even shows a distinction between upper-class French and lower-class Anglo-Saxon in its words. We even have different words for some foods, meat in particular, depending on whether it is still out in the fields or at home ready to be cooked, which shows the fact that the Saxon peasants were doing the farming, while the upper-class Normans were doing most of the eating.

When Americans visit Europe for the first time, they usually find Germany more “foreign” than France because the German they see on signs and advertisements seems much more different from English than French does. Few realize that the English language is actually Germanic in its beginning and that the French influences are all the result of one man’s ambition.

36. The two major languages spoken in what is now called Great Britain before 1066 were _________.

A. Welsh and Scottish                 B. Nordic and Germanic

C. Celtic and Old English              D. Anglo-Saxon and Germanic

37. Which of the following groups of words are, by inference, rooted in French?

A. president, lawyer, beef              B. president, bread, water

C. bread, field, sheep                 D. folk, field, cow

38. Why does France appear less foreign than Germany to Americans on their first visit to Europe?

A. Most advertisements in France appear in English.

B. They know little of the history of the English language.

C. Many French words are similar to English ones.

D. They know French better than German.

39. What is the subject discussed in the text?

A. The history of Great Britain.

B. The similarity between English and French.

C. The rule of England by William the Conqueror.

D. The French influences on the English language.

40. Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A. The Old English was originated from Germanic language.

B. William the Conqueror invaded England and conquered the whole country in 1066.

C. William the conqueror’s great ambition was to introduce French words into the English language.

D. According to the text, Shakespeare’ contribution to the development of the English language is less than that William the conqueror made.
