【文章內容簡介】 scovery is “realistically the only way” that antiHIV bination treatments can be produced at a cost low enough for the developing world.They say the easiest and most costeffective way to use the rice will be to make it into a cream to be put on the skin. The HIVfighting proteins can then enter the body through the skin. People all over the world could grow the rice and make the cream themselves. This would prevent the cost and travel required for many patients to receive treatments and medicine.The process of changing the genetic structure of food crops has been debated for some time. Critics of genetically engineered crops believe they can harm people. The scientific team says further testing is needed to ensure that the genetic engineering process does not produce any additional chemicals that could be dangerous to people. 28.

The figure has since stayed below that level, falling to 18% in 2018, when only 30 women of the 1,019 female applicants were eventually accepted. Women account for more than 40% of the overall workforce, but the share of female doctors has been stuck at about 30% since 1998. The slow progress in medicine has caused assumption that other medical institutes probably have similar policies that discriminate against female applicants.So why is a country that is battling a shortage of doctors trying to bar qualified female candidates from getting training?It is believed that female students will eventually leave the medical profession to give birth and to raise their children. There is a silent understanding to accept more male students as one way to solve the doctor shortage.It is true that female physicians tend to leave the profession at much higher rates than male, but many disagree that keeping them out of medical school is an effective response.Yoshiko Maeda, head of the Japan Medical Women’s Association, said, “it is astonishing that women are being robbed of their right to seek entry to the medical profession. Instead of worrying about women quitting jobs, they should do more to create an environment where women can keep working.” . 32. Which year saw the highest level of female admission percentage? A. 1998. B. 2009. C. 2010. D. 2018.33. What does the underlined word “bar” in paragraph 5 mean?A. prevent. B. separate. C. distinguish. D. protect.34. What is Maeda’s attitude to Tokyo Medical University’s policy?A. Cautious. B. Disapproving. C. Uninterested. D. Favorable. 35. What is the main idea of the text?A. Female doctors in Japan tend to leave their profession.B. Female doctors make up the larger part of Japanese workforce.C. Tokyo Medical University put forward a new admission policy. D. Tokyo Medical University changed test scores to keep women out.第二節(jié)(共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分)根據短文內容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。 Confidence is a skill that many folks want to master, but have a hard time acquiring.
