7.EATING rice is one of the most ordinary things in many people's life.But when more than 300people got together at a rice tasting event in Hubei in late October,it became big news.It's because of the rice they ate.It's genetically modified (GM 轉(zhuǎn)基因的) rice.The tasting event wanted to prove that GM food is safe to eat.
What is GM food?Every kind of plant and animal has its own pattern of genes (基因模式).?But scientists can add some genes into plants and animals and make them stronger.These are called GM plants and animals.
China has been growing GM cotton.We also buy GM soybeans (大豆),corns,oilseed rapes (油菜) and beets (甜菜) from other countries.China needs GM technology,said Wu Kong Ming from the Chinese Academy of Engineering."China is not rich in land resources.Last year,China bought 80million tons of crops from other countries,"said Wu.Some GM crops produce more harvest or have better quality.Growing GM plants help farmers make the best use of the land.
But the safety of GM food is a controversial (有爭議的) issue.Some scientists believe that the worries have no scientific grounds.Through studies,they suggest that GM food is safe for humans.But we don't know whether it has long-term health risks.People also complain that they don't know whether they are eating GM food or not.

分析 本文是說轉(zhuǎn)基因食物到底該不該吃?每個生物都有自己的基因模式,但是為了讓它們更強壯,才會加一些其他的基因,人們已經(jīng)種植了轉(zhuǎn)基因棉花,.轉(zhuǎn)基因植物能充分利用土地,但是轉(zhuǎn)基因食品是否安全一直是有爭議的,科學家因為沒有問題,但是我們不知道是否會有長期的健康風險,也不知道是否吃了轉(zhuǎn)基因食品.
解答 61-65 C A D C B
61.C.細節(jié)題.根據(jù)第一段The tasting event wanted to prove that GM food is safe to eat.可知是為了證明轉(zhuǎn)基因食品是安全的,故選C.
62.A.細節(jié)題.根據(jù)第三段China has been growing GM cotton可知中國已經(jīng)種植了轉(zhuǎn)基因棉花,故選A.
63.D.詞義理解題.結合后面Through studies,they suggest that GM food is safe for humans通過他們的研究,他們建議轉(zhuǎn)基因食品是安全的,故可知上文是說他們的擔心是沒有科學依據(jù)的,故grounds表示依據(jù),理由,故選D.
64.C.判斷題.結合第三段Some GM crops produce more harvest or have better quality可知轉(zhuǎn)基因農(nóng)作物收成和質(zhì)量都更好,故A對,結合第三段Growing GM plants help farmers make the best use of the land可知轉(zhuǎn)基因植物能充分利用土地,故B對,結合最后But the safety of GM food is a controversial (有爭議的) issue.可知這個安全問題是有爭議的,故C錯,結合最后 we don't know whether it has long-term health risks我們不知道是否會有長期的健康風險,故D對,故選C.
65.B.標題判斷題.結合本文But the safety of GM food is a controversial (有爭議的) issue.是討論轉(zhuǎn)基因食品是否安全的問題,故選B.
點評 無論對于主觀題的考查還是客觀題的考查,都是建立在對文章內(nèi)容的理解上的,因此,我們在閱讀時必須把它看作一個整體,在理解全文大意的前提下有針對性地挖掘一些所需的細節(jié)內(nèi)容.
