Today there are 6.4 billion people on the earth. By the year 2050 there may be 12.5 billion. There are many people to feed. We need more and more food.

One way to produce more food is 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(遗传的) material. Foods from plants grown in this way are called genetically modified (转基因的) foods, or GM foods.

By changing the genetic material of a plant, it is possible to make new plants. Scientists make plants which are strong against plant diseases (疾病). They can also help in our diseases: a kind of rice will be grown, for example, which stops people 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. They may feed people, and then hurt them or their children later. But both rich and poor countries are interested in their uses, and they are not going to go away. In 2050, we may think differently about them.

21. There may be ________ billion people by the year 2050 on the earth. A. 6.4 B. 12.5 C. 18.5 D. 20.5 22. How have scientists been able to change plants more quickly? A. By making the best plants.

B. By asking the farmers to grow plants. C. By changing planting environment.

2

D. By changing their genetic material.

23. Why do rich countries produce GM foods?

A. Because they are easy to grow and bring in more money. B. Because they are easy to grow and very cheap. C. Because they help produce more food. D. Because they are the best plants.

24. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. GM plants are not natural.

B. GM plants are strong against plant diseases. C. Everyone knows how good or bad GM plants are. D. GM foods may hurt people or their children later. 25. What can we learn from the passage?

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 eating GM foods. 四、任务型阅读(每小题3分, 共15分)

When we talk of plants, most of us will think of things that grow from the ground and have green leaves, but there are plants that do not look or act like other plants. Some of these belong to a special class of plants called fungi.

Fungi may appear almost everywhere. They commonly grow in wet places where they can get food and water easily. Because fungi do not have green leaves to make their own food, they must take their food from animals, other plants or water. Some fungi live on dead or rotting wood, while others grow on living trees or in dirt. Mushrooms(蘑菇) are the best-known fungi.

There are many kinds of mushrooms appearing in all shapes and sizes. For example, cauliflower mushrooms are found in forests from July to October. They can grow to be as heavy as fifty pounds! They grow at the foot of trees. Matsutake(松茸) is another kind of wild mushroom. These fungi look like small golden cakes. Squirrels can easily eat them or carry them off to their holes to eat later.

The mushrooms in food stores are carefully grown by people and they are safe to eat. People are warned never to touch or taste wild mushrooms, because some of them are deadly. Even less dangerous ones can still make a person very sick.

16．C 点拨： 句意：这些动物以沙漠植物为食，它们不需要太多的水。too many太多，修饰可数名词复数；too much太多，修饰不可数名词。故选C。
