    Today there are 6.4 billion people on the earth. By the year 2050 there may be 12.5 billion . There are a lot of 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(改变的) foods, 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 prepared , 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 , then hurt them or their children later. But both rich and poor countries are interested in their use, and they are not going to go away. In 2050, we may think differently about them.

(1)、GM foods are made by ______.

A、farmers B、workers C、scientists D、plants
(2)、What are the good things about GM foods ?

A、They make plants strong against diseases.  B、They are unnatural. C、They can help in human diseases.          D、Both A and C.
(3)、GM foods ______. 

A、are a quick way to produce food B、grow in the wild C、are safe D、are grown only in rich countries
(4)、Why do some people not like GM foods? 

A、They are not useful. B、They are not helpful. C、They are not natural D、They are not cheap.
(5)、From the passage we know that ______.

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 using GM foods

 阅读下面短文,从所给的 A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项

Our lives would not be the same without bees. Bees help plants grow. Many of these plants provide us with food. What would happen if there were no bees? Some fruits and vegetables that we enjoy could not grow. Bees are wonderful creatures*.

But now the number of bees is getting lower and lower. Scientists worry that bees may die off. How can we solve it? One answer is to make our gardens friendly to bees.

Making our gardens bee- friendly can increase the number of bees. Planting a bee garden is a great idea. These gardens provide bees with nectar*. A successful bee garden would have flowers from spring to fall. The garden would have all kinds of plants that are closely grouped together.

Many people believe that all bees live in hives. In fact, some bees dig into the ground. There they build nests and lay eggs. People lay wood pieces or other things on the ground. Bees can not dig nests when these materials cover the ground. Here is another good way to help bees. When you are working outside, leave loose dirt* in flower beds and gardens.

Some bees' nests are in old pieces of wood while others' in holes, in buildings or in trees. Gardens can provide spaces like these for bees. Trees or walls that stop wind are a good idea. And cool areas also can help bees get away from the hot sun. Bee gardens also provide bees with water. Bees need water just like people do

Making a garden friendly for bees is far from a useless task. The results are worth* the efforts*.  A bee- friendly garden is beautiful and colorful. Most importantly, it helps to keep bees healthy and happy.

 阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。

 When you look into the mirror, you may wonder whether it is possible for us to have a twin self who can do lots of challenging things for us, like the difficult project to be finished ahead. Now with the invention of digital twins, it seems possible.

A digital twin is a copy of things like the products or persons in the online forms. Like humans,    a digital twin can also develop itself as long as they are fed with enough data(数据).

 In 1970, when Apollo 13 was carrying out its task in space, something went wrong with the spaceship, leaving astronauts stranded(困住)200,000 miles from Earth, NASA engineers used spacecraft data to recreate the conditions of the broken part of the spacecraft. This method allowed them to develop solutions that finally brought the astronauts safely home. This event is widely thought as the birth of digital twins. Since then, this technology has been used in many fields, including business, medicine, and more recently, human modelling.

 One of the most fantastic uses of digital twins is in health care. Professor Declan O' Regan, an    AI expert, shows the new method can help doctors treat certain illness easily and quickly, and it can even help doctors to find ways to stop some kind of illness before it is too late.

 Another successful example is to use the digital twin to change the sports science to some degree. Compared with the past when the coaches needed to set up a program to help train the sportspersons, they now use the data to build the digital twin to help the athletes to improve their skills and avoid accidents in sports.

 Not everything about the digital twin is good. It is clear that the new technology will influence us a lot, but what direction it will take in the future remains to be seen. There are some doubts over it, as it will result in problems related to ethical(道德的) consideration.
