By the year 2050 there may be 12. 5 billion. This is a lot of people to feed. We need more food.One way to produce more food is by growing stronger plants. For thousands of years, farmers have made plants better. Every season, they pick the best plants for the next season. It works very slowly. Since 1983, scientists have been able to change plants more quickly by changing their genetic material (遗传物质). Foods from plants grown in this way are called genetically modified foods(转基因食品), or GM foods.By changing the genetic material of a plant, it is possible to make new plants. They make plants which are strong against plant diseases. They can also help in our diseases: a kind of rice is being prepared(准备) ,for example, which stops people from becoming blind.Rich countries produce GM foods because they are easy to grow and bring in more money. Poor countries are interested in them because they help produce more food,GM plants are not natural. No one knows how good or bad they are. Making GM foods is only one way of feeding people in 2050. There are strong feelings against them, because they are unnatural. Theymay feed people, then hurt them or their children later. But, both rich and poor countries are very interested in their use, and they are not going to go away. In 2050 we may think differently about them.1. What are the good things about GM foods?A. They make plants strong against diseasesB. They are unnatural.C. They can help in human diseases.D. Both A and C.2. GM foods______.A. are a quick way to produce foodB. grow in the wild(野生)C. are safeD. are grown only in rich countries3. Why do some people not like GM foods?A. They are not usefulB. They are not helpfulC. They are not naturalD. They are not cheap4. From the reading we know that______.A. GM foods will disappear one day in the future.B. GM foods will not disappear in the future.C. People will not be interested in GM foods.D. People will have to stop using GM foods.4, 这鞋与其说是漂亮，不如说是舒服。

AOne afternoon Peter and Jim went out for a bicycle ride.When they passed a place they saw a large area of grass and bushes on fire and a strong wind was blowing the flames towards a village.The firemen had already arrived and were trying to put out the fire.The boys left their bicycles and ran towards the village to see if they could help to fight the fire.On the way they met two firemen.“Quick，you boys，” said one of the firemen.“Come and help us to pull a pump (泵) to the stream.We can't beat out the fire.The wind is too strong.The pump is our only hope.”The two boys ran farther until they came to a heavy pump.They helped to pull it to a stream not far from the village.Soon the pump was working well so the boys went to watch the fire.It had already reached the edge of the village.The boys saw that two houses were on fire，and the flames were attacking a third building.Suddenly there was a shout from one of the villagers.“Keep away！” a voice shouted.“There's paint stored in that building.” The boys and villagers moved away quickly.With a loud explosion (爆炸)，the whole building burst into flames，sending clouds of thick black smoke into the sky.At this time Peter and Jim began to think that the whole village would be burnt to the ground.The firemen had left the burning buildings and were pouring (浇) water onto the neighbouring houses，trying to stop the fire from spreading.Then the wind died down.A second pump was brought up to help，and the fire was gradually put out.“It's soon finished，” Peter said to his friend.“We must go or we shall get home late.” “Yes，come on，” agreed Jim，and with a last look at the ruins，they walked back to their bicycles.1．Seeing the fire，the boys ran to the village to ________．A．watch it B．ask for helpC．help the firemen D．warn the villagers2．The villagers were told to keep away from the fire mainly because ________．A．their help was unnecessaryB．it was spreading very rapidlyC．two burning buildings were falling downD．one of the buildings stored a lot of paint3．The firemen tried to stop the fire from spreading by ________．A．using an airplaneB．using more fire enginesC．pulling down the burning housesD．pouring water onto the neighbouring housesBThe first settlers to come over to America needed to become good farmers in order to survive.The agricultural industry was grown greatly and now the agricultural job market can be very rewarding (值得的)．Many of the new agricultural jobs these days deal with the new types of technology that are needed to produce the crops that America needs.The days of a family working their land by hand and producing a small amount of crops are over.Now many large plantations (种植场) are to harvest a larger amount of crops in a shorter period of time.If you would like to get one of these new types of jobs in the agricultural industry，then you will need to make sure that you stay on top of the new technologies.Many of these new jobs in the agricultural field have included these new technologies.Two of the new technologies that have brought many new jobs in the agricultural industry are Global Positioning System (GPS) and biotechnology.The GPS really has the ability for farmers to seed and get in their crops in the best possible way.The biotechnology field has really allowed better and safer fertilizers (肥料) to be used on crops.Biotechnology has also helped farmers to better understand what helps to make their cropsbetter.Both of these new technologies are very interesting and offer many new opportunities.The agricultural industry still needs quite a bit of hard work to bring in a good crop，but now many people can take advantage of these improvements to make the industry a much better experience.4．What's the main idea of the passage?A．New technologies have brought many new jobs to Americans.B．Farmers should try to stay on top of the new technologies.C．The agricultural industry in America could support more people.D．New technologies are widely used in new agricultural jobs.5．From Paragraph 1，we know that ________．A．people came to live in America a long time agoB．people have to be farmers in order to surviveC．technology is important for the agricultural industryD．American people are in great need of crops6．If you want to get an agricultural job，you should ________．A．learn about the newest technologiesB．go to the agricultural job marketC．stay in the industry all the timeD．have a lot of experience7．According to the last two paragraphs，new technologies ________．A．have encouraged farmers to make more moneyB．have created a number of new jobsC．have forced farmers to spend a lotD．have developed quickly in the past yearsCOrren Fox fell in love with chickens at nine.It was really almost by accident—Orren played in a friend's house whose family had chickens，and he became interested in the animals ter，he started volunteering every Saturday at a local farm；within a few months the farm－owner suggested that Orren get a few chicks of his own.“I don't know what it was，but something caught my interest，” says Orren，now 14.Today Orren has 23 chickens，four ducks，and 250，000 bees.His happy chickens lay a lot of healthy eggs，which he sells all the year round.He became a vegetarian (素食者) after he learned about the cruelty and negative (消极的) environmental effects of factory farms.In his diary he writes about raising happy chickens and bees，food and healthy eating，farming，and generally making the world a better place.“Farming affects our earth more than anything else，”says Orren.“It's something you have to do correctly，or it will ruin our planet.It's often ignored，but for me，learning about where my food comes from has been really interesting.”In fall 2009，Orren started a farm club at his school.“I wanted to get people to learn more about farming and what fun it is，” he says.Orren's passion (热情) for farming and other types of animals continues to grow.He went to the Essex Country Bee School in early 2010 to learn about beekeeping.Orren now has three beehives (蜂箱) of happy bees.In the summer of 2011，Orren started to sell his honey，BeeHappy，to local stores.Next，he wants to raise sheep and goats.“I know a lot more about the environment and how farming affects it，but I still have a lot to learn，” says Orren.“I want to keep doing all of this as I get older.”8．Orren started a farm club at his school in order to
