The world has a fast growing population and people need more land for houses, factories, highways, and so on. The farmland is decreasing with each passing day. How to meet the need of feeding the growing population? One way is to introduce some high-output gene into a crop to enable it to produce more. Biologists over the years have discovered genes which can raise output of the crops, resist pests, improve taste, etc.

However, in many western countries there is widespread concern over the safety of “Genetically Modified”(GM) (轉(zhuǎn)基因) foods, because they think there may be serious problems of environment, health, safety, morality and so on.

As a scientist I must admit GM foods involve great risks to humans. In fact in Europe they’re called “Frankenstein foods” by many. Frankenstein is a character in a novel. He was a very clever scientist. He created a monster(怪物), which eventually killed him.

Soybeans can be made into many foods. However, it’s hard to trace them. Therefore, it’s very important we have to make sure the soybean, if genetically modified, is free from any poisonous matter harmful to human beings. For this we need very good testing. We do have some testing on some animals, but no completely satisfactory testing has ever been made so far. They’re entirely new, and their problems are entirely unknown. It takes time to develop persuasive tests to know whether they’re harmful to us or not.

We may not be able to tell what may happen if we take GM foods. Some of them may be resistant to antibiotics (抗生素). Then many of the medicines we have today will have no effect on people eating GM foods.

A more likely case is the GM foods may contain genes some people are allergic to.

GM products have already come into our lives but most people even know nothing about it. At least we have to be clear about what we are eating. The China Consumers Association is calling for labeling (標(biāo)注) on GM foods so that consumers will know before they buy them.

1.From the passage we can infer that _____.

A. Frankenstein foods can make people clever

B.B.GM foods are very popular in Europe

C. many Europeans reject GM foods

D. Frankenstein was a scientist creating GM foods

2.The underlined phrase “trace them” in Paragraph 4 probably means“ ”.

A. find their market B. raise their quality

C .find their origins D. enjoy their taste

3.Which of the following is TRUE about GM foods?

A. The testing shows GM soybean foods are free from poisonous matter.

B. Sometimes consumers can hardly tell GM soybeans from natural ones.

C.GM foods prove to be safe to humans after some testing on animals.

D.GM foods problems have been known after testing on animals.

4.What can we learn from the passage?

A.GM foods make antibiotics fail to function properly.

B. People eating GM foods will suffer from food allergies.

C.People should be informed of which foods are GM foods.

D.As GM foods are safe at present, they’re certainly safe later on.

Most visitors come to the UK expecting the rain and weather for which the country is famous. However, when summer finally arrives, British people like nothing more than heading for the coast. Here are some of more famous places of interest that you could expect to visit on a trip to Britain. Black pool, in the northwest of England, is the most visited place in the UK. Each year around 6.5 to 7 million people come to enjoy the miles of sandy beaches, the 158m Black pool Tower and the 11km-long Golden Mile, where there are entertainments, pubs, ice rinks (溜冰場(chǎng)) and even a zoo. On the south coast of the country you can find Brighton. Until 1786, Brighton was a sleepy village. Then the future king, George IV, decided to build a house there, and now it has become a large, international centre. Apart from the beaches, Brighton is famous for its pier (碼頭). There are theatres, entertainments and restaurants there. Brighton is also fantastic for shopping. If you want to travel a little further, why not go to Cornwall in the far southwest of the UK? South Cornwall offers miles of sandy beaches and beautiful scenery. The climate there is warmer than the rest of Britain, and you can even find palm trees. For a bit more excitement, go to North Cornwall. The scenery there is nicer, and the beaches are famous for their powerful waves. As a result, North Cornwall has become the home of British surfing. One word of warning though, if you are using the roads in the UK during holidays, you can expect long traffic jams on the motorways. It might be better to take the train.

1.Which is the best title for this passage?

A. How to Enjoy Your Holidays

B. Let’s Go to the Beach!

C. Welcome to Britain!

D. How to Travel in Britain

2.We may find this passage in a ______.

A. travel guide B. storybook

C. geography book D. news magazine

3.If Andrew likes surfing, which is the best place for him to spend his holidays?

A. Black pool. B. Brighton.

C. North Cornwall. D. South Cornwall.

4.From the passage we can infer that ______.

A. there are no beaches in the east and west of Britain

B. the climate in South Cornwall is attractive to many people

C. the pier is more interesting than the beaches in Brighton

D. Black pool is the most famous place in the UK
