    It's hard to refuse a delicious banana. They taste good and you don't have to wash them before eating them. However, British scientists say that the fruit may disappear by 2050.

    One reason for this is weather change. Shouldn't bananas grow more easily if it's hotter outside? In fact, the perfect temperature for growing bananas is between 24 and 32 C. If temperatures get too high, they will stop growing. If temperatures keep high, ten of the countries will produce fewer bananas, such as India. By 2050, the fruit may die out.

    Diseases (疾病) are another danger to bananas. Unlike other crops, the bananas we grow come from shoot cuttings (茎段). This means that all banana plants have the same genotype (基因型). In other words, if a disease is able to kill one plant, it could kill them all easily.

    One serious disease is called Panama. It goes everywhere quickly. It has been across South Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Australia. If one banana farm gets the disease, it will take 30 years until it's able to grow bananas again. Scientists can't find any ways to work out the problem now.

(1)、What does the underlined word "this" in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A、The great love for bananas. B、The delicious taste of bananas. C、The good price of bananas D、The dangerous problem of bananas.
(2)、What might happen if temperatures keep going higher?
A、More countries will start to grow bananas. B、Bananas will grow better in most countries. C、Bananas will not be able to grow any more. D、Bananas won't be as delicious as before.
(3)、It is ___________ for scientists to work out the problem now.
A、difficult B、easy C、interesting D、meaningless
(4)、The best title may be___________.
A、Why Bananas Get Fewer B、How to Grow Bananas C、Why Bananas Get Popular D、Where to Grow Bananas
举一反三

On May 5,2017, China's home-made passenger aircraft C919 completed its 90-minute first flight and landed safely back at Pudong Airport in Shanghai. 

C919 is developed by COMAC, a Chinese aircraft company. It is designed to compete with Boeing 737 and Airbus A320. The first C919 aircraft can carry 168 passengers and is able to fly a distance between 4, 075 and 5, 555 kilometers. It's reported that a C919 costs around 50 million dollars, less than half of a Boeing 737 or an Airbus A320. Up to now, more than 570 aircrafts have been ordered from 23 customers,mostly Chinese,but also American and Thai companies or airlines. COMAC aims to take one fifth of the world's narrow-body aircraft market and one third of the Chinese market by 2035. 

The name C919 has its special meanings. The letter C stands for both "COMAC" and "China". The number 9 is pronounced as jiu in Chinese, which means "forever". And the number 19 refers to its capacity (容量)of 190 passengers. 

The large passenger aircraft is praised as "the flower of modern industry". It is a symbol of the nation's industrial and technological standards as well as the comprehensive (综合的)power. In order to realize the century dream of flying in the sky and the strategy (战略)of the nation, COMAC bears the nation's dream and people's trust. China considers it as a national pride. 

 阅读下面的材料, 从每题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中, 选出最佳选项。

If you go to a club and pay to hear someone tell funny stories, there is a performance called "stand-up". Stand-up comedy (单口喜剧) started in Britain and the US more than 150 years ago. It has come a long way in the West, but it is a new kind of TV show in China. More and more young people began watching stand-up comedy, and some even started doing it part-time. Unlike the Western's, the Chinese stand-up comedy is much shorter, lasting five to ten minutes long.

So far, the most popular one in China is Stand-up Comedy 2024 on the Internet. More than 50 performers from China and abroad join the show. A graduate (研究生) talks about the problems when he is looking for jobs. A British man tells his funny stories while living in China. A grandpa shares what happened to him and his children when they live together. Their colorful stories and different ideas on life put wonder into this season's program. The show is such a big success that it has opened a door to the golden age of stand-up comedy.

Today there are stand-up clubs around the world. Why is stand-up comedy so popular? Because people think it is simple and fun. All you need is one person to stand up and make the whole room laugh. The performers are telling their own stories in a straightforward (直接的) and funny way, which makes people forget about their worries and leave a big smile on their faces. So if you're looking for a good time full of laughter, choose stand-up comedy.
