When 40 per cent of Hawaii39。s US$14 millionayear papaya (木瓜)industry was destroyed by a virus five years ago, work began on creating genetically engineered trees. Researchers successfully introduced seeds that were designed to resist the virus. Since then, more and more people have been testing genetically engineered trees.Some researchers put special bacteria into trees to help them grow faster and produce better wood. Others are trying to create trees that can clean polluted soil.Meanwhile fruit farmers are looking for trees that are strong enough to resist worms, and paper panies want trees that produce more wood and therefore more paper.The Pentagon (五角大樓，美國國防部所在地) even gave the researchers US$500,000 this year after they developed a pine tree that changes its colours if it senses a chemical attack.So far, the poplar, eucalyptus (楊樹與桉樹), apple and coffee trees are among those being engineered. All this is can be done today because we have a better understanding of tree genomes (基因組).However, some people fear that the genetically engineered trees will cause dangerous results. They are worried that the new trees will breed with natural species and change the balance of the forest environment.It could be destructive, said Jim Diamond, an environmentalist. Trees are what is left of our natural environment and home to many endangered species. But researchers insist that science could give nature a fighting chance against both natural and manmade dangers. They hope to answer the critics by stopping the new trees from breeding, so their effect on the environment can be controlled.72．Which kind of tree is not the ones that scientists are planting in the US?A. Trees that worms can39。t hurt. B. Trees that can protect themselves at a chemical attack. C. Trees that can resist wind better. D. Genetically engineered trees.73．What caused the American scientists to work on special trees?A. They think science could give nature a fighting chance against both natural and manmade dangers. B. Great numbers of trees have been lost due to attacks by viruses. C. Researchers successfully introduced seeds designed to resist the virus. D. Tree genomes are mapped out so scientists know how to improve trees.74．Which of the following was probably the first kind of trees being engineered?A. Papaya. B. Pine. C. Apple. D. Poplar.75．Why did critics think engineered trees dangerous? Because _______.A. these trees can destroy the balance of nature B. everything except trees has been genetically engineered C. trees are home to many endangered species D. these trees may affect normal trees答案：（5660CBDCB6165CABBC 6670DAADC 7175BCBAD閱讀理解訓(xùn)練題（二）AHaikou: A shark was killed after being dragged to shore at Yalong Berth beach in Sanya, South China’s Hainan Province, on Sunday afternoon.It was the first time a shark had been caught in the beach area, a popular tourist site in Hainan.Local fishermen said they caught the 3meterlong, lton shark by chance When they were fishing in sea water 1,000 metres deep near the beach.Police temporarily protected the shark while oceanographers decided whether it was a species belonging to State protection.Fishermen later killed and sold the shark after oceanographers confirmed that it was a whale shark and therefore not under State protection.The shark was believed to have drifted into the area from the deep sea due to strong waves caused last week by Typhoon Imbudo. It had no open injuries but experts said they believed it suffered from internal bleeding. Local police officer Fu Chenggeng said beachgoers should not feel threatened by sharks because the fish never attack human beings on their own initiative. Fu said he had never heard of any shark attacks at the Sanya beach since he first started work there eight years ago.However, police said they will improve the security system to safeguard tourists’ safety on the beach. 56．A possible title of the article should be .A．Tourists in DangerB．Killing Whale SharkC．Shark Caught in Beach AreaD．Whale Shark in Danger57．From the article it can be learned .A．the shark was caught because of obvious injuries B．the number of the whale shark may be smallC．typhoon Imbudo may have brought the shark to the areaD．it’s not unusual to see a shark on the beach58．The underlined word“confirmed”probably means .A．saidB．believedC．thoughtD．made sureBThere are some very good things about open education. This way of teaching allows the students to grow as people, and to develop their own interests in many subjects. Open education allows students to be responsible for their own education, as they are responsible for what they do in life. Some students do badly in a traditional classroom. The open classroom may allow them to enjoy learning. Some students will be happier in an open education school. They will not have to worry about grades or rules. For students who worry about these things a lot, it is a good idea to be in an open classroom.But many students will not do well in an open classroom. For some students, there are too few rules. These students will do little in school. They will not make good use of open education. Because open education is so different from traditional education, these students may have a problem getting used to making so many choices. For many students it is important to have some rules in the classroom. They worry about the rules even when there are no rules. Even a few rules will help this kind of students. The last point about open education is that some traditional te
