21、d Peng, are far more content to think that both sides have flaws and virtues, because they have a holistic awareness that life is full of contradictionsThey do far less blaming of the individual than do Americans, he added In studies of interpersonal argument, for example, when subjects were asked t

27、occasionsB The earths most rich resource water has become one of the most precious resources in the United States as rivers, lakes, and freshwater reservoirs are increasingly exploited for human useConsequently, using precise farming techniques to refine “irrigation scheduling” is a research area of

30、te more precisely how much water their crop is using” Rather than guessing their crops potential need for water based upon weather changes, farmers can use remote sensors to measure how much water their crop is actually usingThis would give them a more accurate measure of how much more water it need

31、s Moran believes that if farmers are getting good and timely measurements of plant and air temperature, then they can program when and how much water to give each crop through an irrigation systemNo more water would be used than needed, thus saving cost and conserving water Moran introduces one stud

AProfitability BRemote sensorsCThe cost DAir temperature49Wh

36、ats the purpose of Moran introducing the study she carried out in Arizona? ATo investigate the use of remote sensing data BTo support whether her viewpoint in the previous paragraphis right CTo show how farmers can reap a harvest DTo criticize those farmers who used too much water50What is among the

37、 best possible ways to help save farmers money? AChanging irrigation BSharing sensing data CBuying one computer DExtending the farmsC Some people believe that international sport creates goodwill between the nations and that if countries play games together they will learn to live togetherOthers say

38、 that the opposite is true: that international contests encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatredThere is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sports encourage international brotherhoodNot

39、only was there the incident of tragedy involving murder of athletes, but the Games were also ruined by lesser incidents caused principally by minor national contests One country received its second-place medals with visible anger after the hockey finalThere had been noisy scenes at the end of the ho
