October 16 is World Food Day. This day is also the anniversary(纪念日) of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)(联合国粮农组织).More than 100 countries are holding special events. All of these aim to celebrate the establishment of the FAO in 1945. The theme chosen for this year’s World Food Day is “Water: Source(资源) of Food Security”.
A UN report says that over 6 million people have died from hunger and related diseases so far this year alone. More than 850 million people, or about one in seven, around the world do not get enough food, and the need for food will increase as the world’s population grows. The UN also reports that by year 2030, the world may need 60% more food. Most of that increase will have to come from agriculture supported by water irrigation(灌溉). However, fresh water is already in short supply in many countries.
Jacques Diouf, the director of the FAO, says that there are 20 countries that do not have enough water to produce enough food for their populations. Ten nations use more than 40% of their total fresh water for agriculture. He fears that the problem will only become worse as the need for water by people and by industry grows. So water is one of the most important things in the world today.

A. picking up B. making up C. cutting up D. setting up
62. In the world, more than _________ people have died because of hunger this year.

A. the future of the FAO B. the short of water
C. the overgrowth of population D. the development of the environment
64. The reading above implies(暗示) that _________.

C. we will need more water to irrigate D. industry is the most important thing today

第四节：阅读短文，根据其内容，完成下列任务。（10分）
Do Yao Ming, Liu Xiang and Justine Henin have anything in common with people like us? You probably answer “NO!”
It seems that top athletes live in a world that is completely different from ours. However, if we could see into their minds, it would be clear that they are actually just like us.
Just how an athlete becomes a success means ① for us all. To achieve their goals, sportspeople not only have to prepare physically, but mentally(内心地). They have to get to know themselves, manage stress and develop their powers of concentration. So they can put all their effort into their events.
We may not be sports stars ourselves, but we have to face same problems. We set goals for ourselves and think about personal development. We have to manage our fears before big exams. We worry about our friendships with both classmates ② teachers.
Like sportspeople, we try to be mentally strong and give our best.
Only few of us will be competing in the Olympic Games. But, all the same, there is much we share with sports heroes. Just like athletes, how we feel influences our decisions, behavior and achievements.
Top athletes show us that success isn’t simply down to chance. We can control the direction of our life’s journey.
