But the industrial performance of agriculture is even more important than this. For in nations where the productivity of farmers is low, most of the working population is needed to raise food and few people are available for production of investment goods or for other activities required for economic growth. Indeed, one of the factors related most closely to the per capita income(人均收入)of a nation is the fraction(一部分)of its population engaged in farming. In the poorest nations of the World, more than half of the population lives on farms. This compares sharply with less than 10in western Europe and less than 4in the United States.In short, the course of economic development in general depends in a fundamental way on the performance of farmers. This performance, in turn, depends on how agriculture is organized and on the economic environment，or market structure, within which it functionsIn the following pages the performance of American agriculture is examined. It is appropriate to begin with a consideration of its market structure.五、(2006 年复旦大学)Passage 1An expert suggested that certain criminals should be sent to prison in their own home. When the scheme was first put forward publicly, many people opposed it or hand serious reservations about it. One very experienced social worker opposed the scheme in a television interview. When asked to explain the basis for his opposition, he thought for a moment and finally confessed,Well，I guess, because its new. Thats my only reason. Advocates of the scheme pointed out that courts frequently sentenced first offenders to community service of some kind rather than send them to prison. The stigma of having a criminal record was an adequate deterrent, and nothing positive was achieved by sending some types of convicted people to prison.Some critics rushed to take extreme cases. If a murderer is allowed free in the community like this, what is to prevent him from killing somebody else? This argument ignored the fact that nobody proposed to allow convicted murderers to use the bracelet system. One criticism putforward was that an offender could take off his bracelet and leave it at home or give it to a friend to wear while he himself wet off to commit another crime. The reply to this was that the bracelet would be made so that the computer would immediately detect any attempts to take it off or tamper with it.A most serious objection to the scheme was that the harsh life of prison was intended to bepart of the deterrent to crime. A prisoner who was allowed to live at home would suffer no particular discomfort and thus not be deterred from repeating his crime.No immediate action was taken on the proposal. It was far too revolutionary and needed to be examined very carefully. However, the idea was not rejected. Several governments appointed experts to investigate the scheme and make recommendations for or against it.1Peoples opinions are divided on the suggestion that .A. some criminals should serve their terms at homeB. social workers can express themselves on TVC. first offenders should be sentenced to community serviceD. old offenders should be imprisoned2A social worker opposed the proposal for the reason that .Ait is uniqueB. it is creativeC. it is novelD. it is out-of-date3.

His temper was not improved when he was told, on arriving more than three hours late at New Delhi, that his plane to Colmbo had already gone and that there would not be another until the next day. The airline staff were very sympathetic and assured him that they had already booked him into the best hotel in the city, to which the airline bus would take him straight away. In the meantime, they hoped that Dr Adams would take the op
