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 genntically 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 parepared, for example, which stops people from becoming blind.Rich countries produce Gmfoods 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, 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.46.

Ever since he left school (where I first knew him）, he has traveled all over the world collecting animals for his own zoo. He hoped to collect at least two examples of every kind of animal on his island, like Noah before the Great Flood. But the flood that my friend was afraid of, was a flood not of water, but of people. I expect you have heard of my friend. He writes books about his travels, and about the wild and wonderful animals that he collects. The money from the books helps to pay for all the food that these animals eat.My friend told me that when he was out looking for water last week,（there is not enough water on island, though there is plenty all round it,）he found oil. He needs money for his travels, and for his zoo, and a little oil would buy enough water for a lifetime, but he knows that if he tells anybody else about it, it will be the end of his zoo, and his life's work.So, he will not tell anybody（but you and me）about what he found, because oil and water do not mix.56.

It's a friendly way that people in the U. S. A greet each other. But “How are you?” is also a very unusual question. It's a question that often doesn't need an answer. The person who asks “How are you?” hope s to hear the answer “Fine”, even if the person's friend isn't fine. The reason is that “How are you?” isn't really a question, and “Fine” isn't really an answer. They a re simply other ways of saying “Hello” or and “Hi” .Sometimes, People also don't say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone asks “Do you agree?” ,the other person might think, “No , I disagree. I think you’re wrong…” But it isn’t very polite to disagree so strongly, so the other person might say “I’m not sure.” It’s a nicer way to say thatyou don’t agree with someone.People also don’t say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking with other people. For example, many talks over the phone finish when one person say “I've to go now”. Often, the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse, “Someone’s at the door.”“Something is burning on the stove.”The excuses might be real, or not. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn't want to talk any more, but it isn't polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and it doesn't hurt the other person.Whether they are greeting each other, talking about an idea, or finishing a talk, people don’t say exactly what they are thinking. It is an important way that people try t o be nice to each other, and it’s all part of the game of languages.61. When a person in America asks “How are you?”, he or she wants to hear “”.A. How are you?B. HelloC. .I don’t know.D. Fine62. When a person disagree with someone, it is polite to say “”.A. You are wrong. I disagree.B. I’m not sure.C. I’m sure I disagree.D. No, I disagree.63. A polite way to finish talk is to say “”A. You have to go now.B. I want to hang up.C. I have to go now.D. I don’t want to talk any more.64. When a person says “Someone’s at the door.”, the person may be________.A. giving an excuseB. hurting someone’s feelingC. meeing someoneD. asking you a question65. The rule of the game of language is probably .A. Be polite.B. Always say what you meanC. Don’t disagree with people.D. Never say exact ly what you’re thinking.Ⅴ.单词拼写（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）66.
