The Debate Over
Genetically Modified Foods
For
thousands of
years farmers have used a process of selection and
cross breeding to continually improve
the quality of crops. Traditional
breeding methods are slow, requiring intensive
labor: while trying to get a desirable
trait in a bred species, undesirable
traits will appear and farmers must continue the
process over and over again until
all
the undesirables are bred out. In contrast,
organisms acquire one specific gene or a few genes
together through
genetic modification,
without other traits included and within a single
generation. However, this technology too is
inherently
unpredictable
and
some
scientists
believe
it
can
produce
potentially
dangerous
results
unless
better
testing methods are
developed. Traditional breeding is based on sexual
reproduction between like organisms. The
transferred genes are similar to genes
in the cell they join. They are conveyed in
complete groups and in a fixed
sequence
that harmonizes with the sequence of genes in the
partner cell. In contrast, bioengineers
isolate a gene
from
one
type
of
organism
and collect
it
randomly
into
the
DNA
of
a
dissimilar
species,
disrupting
its
natural
sequence.
One
of
the
main
differences
between
conventional
and
genetically
modified
crops
is
that
the former
involves crosses either within species
or between very closely related species. However,
GM crops can have genes
from closely
related species or even from bacteria and viruses.
Benefits: one side of the debate Economical? GM
supporters tell farmers that they stand
to reap enormous profits from growing GM crops. It
takes a shorter time to
produce
the
desired
product.
It
is
precise
and
there
are
no
unwanted
genes. To
produce
the
GM crops,
modern
biotechnology
is
used which
requires
highly
skilled
people
and
sophisticated
and
expensive
equipment.
Large
companies need considerable investments
in laboratories, equipment and human resources,
hence the reason why
GM crops are more
expensive for farmers than traditional crops.
Herbicide-resistant crops So what other advantages
do GM crops hold for farmers? GM crops
can be produced to be
herbicide
(
除草剂
) resistant. This means
that
farmers could spray these crops
with herbicide and kill the weeds, without
affecting the crop. In effect, the amount
of herbicide used in one season would
be reduced, with a subsequent reduction in costs
for farmers and consumers.
Biotechnology companies are even
experimenting with crops that can be genetically
modified to be drought and
salt-
tolerant, or less reliant on fertilizer, opening
up new areas to be farmed and leading to increased
productivity.
1
However, the claims of less herbicide
usage with GM crops have till now not been
independently supported by facts.
Better quality foods Even animals can
be genetically modified to be leaner, grow faster,
and need less food. They
could be
modified to have special characteristics, such as
greater milk production in cows. These
modifications
again
lead to
improved productivity for farmers and finally
lower costs for the consumers. Modified crops
could
perhaps prevent outbreaks such as
foot and mouth disease, which has badly influenced
many farmers and local
economies. No
such products have been released to date; however,
some are under consideration for release. For
example, GM salmon, capable of growing
almost 30 times faster than natural salmon, may
soon be approved by the
FDA
(Food and Drug Administration) in the U.S. for
release into open waters without a single study on
the impact
on human health or the
environment. Risks: the other side of the debate
Environmental damage The problem with
GM crops is that there is little known
about what effect they will have in, say, 20 years
time. The genetic structure of
any
living organism is complex and GM crop tests focus
on short-term effects. Not all the effects of
introducing a
foreign gene into the
complex genetic structure of an organism are
tested. Will the pests that a crop was created to
resist
eventually
become
resistant
to
this
crop?
Then
there
is
always
the
possibility
that we
may
not
be
able
to
destroy
GM crops
once
they
spread
into
the
environment.
Risk
to food web.
A
further complication
is
that
the
pesticide produced in the crop may
unintentionally harm creatures. GM crops may also
pose a health risk to native
animals
that eat them. The animals may be poisoned by the
built-in pesticides. Tests in the U.S. showed that
44% of
caterpillars
(
毛虫
) of the
monarch butterfly died when fed large amounts
of
pollen
(花粉)
from
GM corn. Disease.
Another concern is
disease. Since some crops are modified using the
DNA
from viruses and bacteria, will we
see
new diseases emerge? What about the
GM crops that have antibiotic-resistant marker
genes? Marker genes are used
by
scientists
to
determine
whether
their
genetic
modification
of
a
plant
was
successful.
Will
these
antibiotic-resistant
genes be transferred to microorganisms that cause
disease? We already have a problem with
ineffective antibiotics. How can we
develop new drugs to fight these new bugs? Until
further studies can show that
GM foods
and crops do not pose serious threats to human
health or the world's ecosystems, the debate over
their
release will continue. Living
organisms are complex and tampering with their
genes may have unintended effects. It
is
in
our common
interest
to support
concerned
scientists
and
organizations,
suc
h
as
Friends
of
the
Earth who
demand required
labeling of these food products and independent
testing for safety and environmental impacts.

Passage One
Questions 52 to
56 are based on the following passage.
Iron
production
was
revolutionized
in
the
early
eighteenth
century when coke
was
first
used
instead
of
charcoal
(
木炭
) for refining
iron ore. Previously the poor quality of the iron
had restricted its use in architecture to
items such as chains and tie bars for
supporting arches,
vaults
(
拱顶
),and walls.
With the improvement in refining
ore,
it was now possible to make cast-iron beams and
columns. During the nineteenth century further
advances were
made,
notably
Bessemer's
process
for converting
iron
into
steel,
which
made
the
material
more
commercially
feasible.
Iron was rapidly
adopted for the construction of bridges, because
its strength was far greater than that of stone
or
timber,
but
its
use
in
the
architecture
of
buildings
developed
more slowly.
By
1800
a
complete
internal
iron
skeleton
for
buildings
had
been
developed
in
industrial
architecture
replacing
traditional
timber
beams,
but
it
generally
remained concealed. Apart from its low cost, the
appeal of iron as a building material lay in its
strength, its
resistance to fire, and
its potential to span vast areas. As a result,
iron became increasingly popular as a structural
material for more traditional styles of
architecture during the nineteenth century, but it
was invariably concealed.
Significantly, the use of exposed iron
occurred mainly in the new building types produced
by the Industrial
Revolution: in
factories, warehouses, commercial offices,
exhibition halls, and railroad stations, where its
practical
advantages far outweighed its
lack of status. Designers of the railroad stations
of the new age explored the potential
of iron, covering huge areas with spans
that surpassed the great vaults of medieval
churches and cathedrals. Paxton's
Crystal
Palace,
designed
to
house
the
Great
Exhibition
of
1851,covered
an
area
of
1848
feet
by
408
feet
in
assembled
units of glass set in iron frames. The Paris
Exhibition of 1889 included both the widest span
and the
greatest height achieved so far
with the Halle des Machines, spanning 362 feet,
and the Eiffel Tower 1,000 feet high.
However, these achievements were mocked
by the artists of Paris as expensive and ugly
foolishness. Iron, despite its
4
structural
advantages,
had
little
aesthetic
(
审美的
)
status.
The
use
of
an
exposed
iron
structure
in
the
more
traditional styles of architecture was
slower to develop.
52. What does the
passage mainly discuss?
A) Advances in
iron processing in the eighteenth and nineteenth
centuries.
B) The effects of the
Industrial Revolution on traditional architectural
styles.
C) Advantages of stone and
timber over steel as building materials.
D) The evolution of the use of iron in
architecture.
53. Iron replaced stone
and timber in the building of bridges because iron
was considered_________.
A) more
beautiful
B) new and modern
C) much stronger
D) easier
to transport
54. According to Paragraph
3,the architectural significance of the Halle des
Machines was its ________.
A) wide span
B) great height
C) unequaled
beauty
D) assembled units of glass
55. How did the artists react to the
buildings at the Paris Exhibition?
A)
They tried to copy them.
B) They
laughed at them.
C) They praised them.
D) They refused to pay to see them.
56. It can be inferred that the delayed
use of exposed iron structures in
traditional styles of architecture is best
explained by________.
A) the
impracticality of using iron for small,
noncommercial buildings
B) the
association of iron architecture with the problems
of the Industrial Revolution
C) the general belief that iron offered
less resistance to fire and harsh weather than
traditional materials
D) the
general perception that iron structures were not
beautiful in appearance
Passage
T

Questions 57 to 61 are
based on the following passage.
Four
months
before
Crown
Prince
Felipe
says
“si”
(
“yes”
in
Spanish)
to
television
journalist
Letizia
Ortiz,royal wedding
fever is gripping Spain.
Shops are
offering the biggest variety of wedding
souvenirs
(
纪念品
),from plates
and bottle-openers to copies
5
of the couple's
engagement ring.
The couple have made
only a few carefully staged public appearances to
reduce the
scrutiny
(
仔细检查
).
Spanish
people waited for more than a decade for the
36-year-old son of King Juan Carlos and Queen
Sofia to
find a suitable bride. And
more important, the May 22 wedding will be a
landmark event in other ways.
Letizia
Ortiz Rocasolano,31,is the daughter of a nurse and
a journalist. So, she will be the first commoner
on
a throne once occupied by Queen
Isabella, who sent Christopher Columbus to the
Americas.
The pretty
,
elegant former news
anchor
(
主持人
)will also
become Spain's first home-grown queen in more
than a century. The lively and
professionally accomplished Letizia has been
welcomed by Spanish people as a new
type of queen for a modern
monarchy
.
Spanish people
were accustomed to seeing her in television news
broadcasts and she arouses tremendous
curiosity. Journalists are
investigating even the most ordinary aspects of
her past which resembles that of so many
other young Spanish professional women.
Spanish people have also taken note
that she tried to interrupt the prince when they
talked to the press after
getting
engaged in November.
“Let me talk,” she
told the heir to the Bourbon throne.
Such behavior is regarded as
understandable in a woman who went to Mexico by
herself at age 23 and later
reported on
the September 11 terrorist attacks and the Iraq
war for state television TVE.
Her
strong
character,
frankness
and
critical
mind
could
also
be
disadvantages
for
a
royal
who
is
rarely
expected to speak her mind, reporters
have said.
The palace has struggled to
protect her from scrutiny and to give her time to
adapt to her new role.
57. By saying
“royal wedding fever” (Line 2,Para.1),
the author means
“
_________
”.
A) a lot of royal weddings follow
B) the Spanish people are surprised at
the royal wedding
C) the royal wedding
makes a stir in the whole country
D)
the royal wedding becomes a fashion
58.
The most important reason why royal wedding causes
such a great interest is that_________ .
A) a commoner is married into a royal
family
B) the prince
finally finds his bride
C) a famous TV
journalist gets married
D) the wedding
is expensive
59. Letizia used to be a
news anchor who was _________.
A)
world-famous

The Decrease
of Public Transportation Ticket Fare
Recently,
①
some
municipal governments have taken a series of
measures to develop public transportation
including
decreasing
public
transportation
ticket
fare.
②
On
the
one
hand,
they
strengthen financial
support
to
public
transportation companies. On the other hand, IC
cards are issued to offer discount of subway and
bus ticket
fare.
The
benefits can be seen obviously.
③
One advantage is that the
daily transportation expense is reduced.
Due to the low prices, more and more
people are willing to go out by public vehicles
with less cars streaming in the
street,
④
the street is clearer and
the air is cleaner.

⑤
To my mind, traveling via
public vehicles is the best way to respond to
governments' appeal. Besides, trying
to
make every trip efficient and reducing the
frequency of vehicles is also a good answer.
①开门见山,说明一些城市政府实施多项举措降低公共交通票价,大力发展公共交通。
municipal
“城市
