American farmers first planted genetically engineered(GE) crops in

1996.Today eighty percent of the cropland for soybeans, corn and cotton

in the United States is transgenic(转基因的).Genetic engineering adds

or changes genes in a plant to produce desired qualities.

The United States is one of the twenty-five countries where farmers

planted genetically engineered crops in 2009.An agricultural

biotechnology group says GE crops planting decreased in Europe. But the

amount of cropland planted with GE crops rose by about seven percent

worldwide.

The National Research Council, part of the National Academies in

Washington, recently published a study. The study examined how

genetically engineered crops have affected farming in the United States.

It found that many farmers have better harvests, better weed control and

fewer losses from insect damage compared to traditional crops.

LaReesa Wolfenbarger is a University of Nebraska biology professor

and a member of the committee that wrote the report. She says they found

that genetically engineered crops can be better for the environment.

LaReesa Wolfenbarger:“In general, we find that genetically

engineered crops have had fewer harmful effects on the environment than

non-GE crops produced conventionally.”

For example, she noted that crops designed to resist damage by

glyphosate(草甘膦) need fewer pesticides(杀虫剂).Glyphosate is a

chemical used in weed killing products.

But some farmers have used so much glyphosate that a number of kinds

of weeds can now resist it. David Ervin of Portland State University in

Oregon led the committee that wrote the report. Professor Ervin says this

means that some farmers are again using more poisonous herbicides(除草

剂) to control weeds. He says the problem needs immediate attention.

Earlier this year, a professor at the University of Western Australia

commented on the overuse of glyphosate. Stephen Powles wrote about it in

the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in the United States.

He said glyphosate is as important in worldwide food production as

penicillin（青霉素）is in medicine for fighting disease. He called for

better use of glyphosate-resistant crop technology.

64.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The amount of cropland planted with GE crops increased by seven percent in the

US.

B. The amount of cropland planted with GE crops decreased in Europe.

C. American farmers first planted GE crops two decades ago.

D. Eighty percent of the crops in the US are transgenic.

65.In comparison with traditional crops, GE crops________.

A. need better soil B. need more glyphosate

C. can resist insect attacks better D. are more likely to be bothered

by weeds

66.According to David Ervin,____________________.

A. to control weeds is quite easy

B. glyphosate is of little use to planting

C. glyphosate is as important as penicillin

D. people should attach great importance to the overuse of herbicides

67.The author writes this passage to____________.

A. advise people to stop using pesticides

B. prove that GE crops have better harvests

C. call on more countries to plant GE crops

D. discuss the issues surrounding GE crops

Sometimes you think your teacher hates you? You're not the only

one.Teachers and students sometimes have personality clashes,just like

any two people who don't get along. After all, teachers aren't perfect.

However, most of the time, there are lots of reasons why you and your

teacher might not be getting along. So try to figure out if your teacher

really does dislike you ,or if something else is going on. Here are some

questions to ask yourself:

※Is your teacher's anger aimed at you personally, or at something

specific you’ve been doing?

All teachers have something that they strongly dislike. Maybe your

teacher hates it when people whisper in class. If you try hard not to do these things, the situation might get better.

※Are you the only person being treated badly, or is your teacher being

rough on the whole classroom?

Ask your classmates if they've been having trouble with the teacher

too. If they say yes, perhaps your teacher is having problems outside of school, or is new and feels overwhelmed(压力过大的).

※Are you working up to your ability?

You and the kid sitting beside you both got a C on the last test, and your

teacher told you that you could do better, but didn't say anything to her!

Isn't this totally unfair? Well, teachers often grade students by

different standards, especially if they feel that someone isn't doing the

work they're capable of doing. It's their way of motivating a student to

try a little harder.

※ Are you more sensitive than most students?

Try to find out if you are just extra sensitive to criticism. If the

other student aren't as sensitive, they will not be bothered even though

the teacher treated them exactly the same way. There's nothing wrong with

being sensitive, but if you react to criticism differently than most kids,

this could be a factor in why you t …… 此处隐藏：5396字，全部文档内容请下载后查看。喜欢就下载吧 ……
