2. Read the following paragraph and underline the topic sentence. There are at least three major problems in grain production. First, our farmland shrinks rapidly because of the construction of factories, apartments, golf courses, shopping malls and graveyards. Moreover, peasants are eager to produce tobacco or flowers to get higher profits. Second, shortages of water often result in poor harvests because the rapid expansion of cities and towns uses up most of the water resources. In most dry provinces, a mild drought may cause poor or no harvest. Finally, since their life in rural areas is a perpetual struggle against poverty, millions of young peasants rush to cities for easier jobs and leave fertile fields lying wasted.

[解析] 这道题主要是考查段落的统一性。统一性要求段落的支持句都必须围绕段落主题句的中心思想展开,并要求它们在人称、时态、文体等方面互相保持一致,任何与主题关联不大的内容都应予以删除。这段话主要是讲采珠人的工作。事实上采珠人并不跳水。他们是被绳子系住放到海底的。采珠人成组工作,通常有一个人留在水面上等着帮助潜水的那个人。有经验的采珠人可以在水底待1.5分钟,每天可以潜水多达30次,他们为此赚了很多钱。这段话主要是对采珠人的工作进行描述,所以“Many tourists to Japan enjoy shopping for cultured pearls.”和“and they earn a lot of money from this.”这两句话是多余的。

Biology Department Henan University 85 Minglun Street Kaifeng 475001 May 20, 2011
Dr. Wang Dequan Department of Pathology No. 1 Henan People's Hospital Zhengzhou 450003
Dear Dr. Wang,
I would like to apply for the position of part-time lab assistant that my organic chemistry instructor, Professor Fang Jinyi, told me about. I feel both my academic background and my work experience qualify me for this job. I am presently a junior biology major at Henan University. During the past years I have taken courses in bio-chemistry and physical chemistry. I have had experience in the laboratory and I am familiar with most basic procedures. Last summer I worked for the Provincial Drug Administration studying the effect of artificial sweeteners on rats. In that position, I prepared frozen sections and did computer correlations of study results. After graduation I expect to apply for medical school and eventually become a pathologist. Working in your department would enable me to gain more insight into this field as well as contribute something to it. I have enclosed a resume, and I will be available for an interview at your convenience.
