   Joanne was stuck in a traffic jam in central Birmingham at 5：30, and at 6：30 she was expected to be chairing a meeting of the tennis club．At last，the traffic was moving．She swung quickly racing to her house. As she opened the door，she nearly tripped over Sheba．

    “Hey，Sheba，”she said，“I’ve got no time for you now，but I’ll take you out as soon as I get

back from tennis club．”Then she noticed Sheba seemed to be coughing or choking. Obviously，she could hardly breathe．Immediately, Joanne realized she would have to take her to the vet（獸醫(yī)）

When she got there，the vet was just about to close for the day. Seeing the state of Sheba，Dr．Sterne brought her quickly into his office．

    “Listen，doctor，I’m really in a rush to get to a meeting—can I leave her with you，and go and get changed? I’ll be back in ten minutes to pick her up，and then I’ll take her on to the meeting with me. Is that OK?”

    “Sure．”said the doctor

    Joanne made the quick trip back to her house in a couple of minutes. As she was once more

 entering the hallway，the phone by the door began to ring．

    “This is Dr．Sterne，”said an anxious voice．“I want you to get out of that house immediately，”said the doctor’s voice．“I’m coming round fight away，and the police will be there any time now．Wait outside!”

    At that moment，a police car screeched to a stop outside the house．Two policemen got out and ran into the house．Joanne was by now completely confused and very frightened．Then the doctor arrived．

    “Where’s Sheba? Is she OK?”shouted Joanne．

    “She’s fine，Joanne．I took out the thing which was choking her，and she’s OK now．”

    Just then，the two policemen reappeared from the house，half-carrying a white—faced man，who could hardly walk．There was blood all over him．

    “My God，”said Joanne，“how did he get in there? And how did you know he was there?”

    “I think he must be a burglar．”said the doctor．“I knew he was there because when I finally removed what was stuck in Sheba’s throat; it turned out to be three human fingers”

What was Joanne supposed to do at 6：30？

    A．To walk her dog．        B．To see her doctor．

    C．To attend a club meeting．       D．To play tennis with her friends．

    A．to dress up for the meeting      B．to phone the police station

    C．to catch the badly hurt burglar      D．to wait for her dog to be cured

    A．Sheba fought against the burglar

    B．the police found the burglar had broken in

    C．Joanne had planned to take her dog to the meeting

    D．the doctor performed a difficult operation on the dog

       Every year farmers in areas which often suffer flood in Southeast Asia lose millions of tons of rice to high water that kills their crops. That large amount of waste may soon be a thing of the past: SUBIA, a gene discovered by researchers which the International Rice Research Insitule (IRRI) and the University of California, allows rice palnts carrying the gene to live completely under water for two weeks.

       Flood – resistant(抗水浸) rice turned up among the 110,000 types of seed stored at the institute. It produced disappointingly low yields(產(chǎn)量) , but scientistis were able to transfer the gene into more bountiful varieties. These have shown promising results in tests by growers in India and Bangladesh over the past two years.

       This rice success story would not have been possible without the treasure of genetic diversity hidden in the IRRI’s vault (underground room). As the world faces new agricultural challenge – charging climate, bugs and diseases that have developed resistance(抵抗力) to old defenses – such genetic resources are likely to become increasingly valuable. Fortunately, the IRRI is one of more than 1,000 organizations around the world working to protect crop genes. Most plant species grown for food have an associated bank that stores thousands of samples; seeds of landraces, wild relatives, and varieties that are rare, old, or adapted to very specific envionments. The banks ensure that it will be possible to develop new varieties in the future.

       The need for these botanical libraries has its roots in modern agricultural practices. According to the U. N. Food and Agriculture Organization, 75 percent of plant diversity has been lost over the last century. Of more than 30,000 eatable species, humans grow just 200 for food; 60 percent of plant calories in our diet comes from wheat, rice, and corn.

72．Accordint to the second paragraph, what can we learn about the flood – resistant rice?

       A．It produces a small amount of rice.

       B．Scientists have developed many more varieties of it.

       C．Sientists have managed to improve its output.

       D．It can produce more rice than the other 110,000 types at the institute.

73．From the passage we can infer that        .

       A．the newly – discovered gene will bring hope to the farmers in the areas often suffering flood

       B．scientists will not be able to change the fact that rice plants carrying the gene produce low yields

       C．the tests by growers in India and Bangladesh were hopeless

       D．110,000 types of seed stored at the Institute are flood -  resistant

74．What’s the main idea of the third paragraph?

       A．The world faces new agricultural challenges.

       B．Such genetic resources are likely to become valuable.

       C．Scientists set up banks to store thousands of seed samples.

       D．We should owe the rice success story to the seed banks.

75．As to the botanical libraries, the writer thinks they are            .

       A．useless      B．unnecessary      C．needful     D．needless
