Crops are being genetically modified to resist insects, plant diseases, insecticides(杀虫剂). Plants are
17、 also modified to look bigger and better. Unfortunately the end goal isnt providing nutrition for people, its to increase profit and to make food look better. In fact many modern fruits and vegetables are twice the size of what they used to be while having far less vitamins, and not tasting good eit
18、her. Now research is showing that genetically modified food might even be bad for you. GM organisms are organisms that have genes inserted into their DNA in order to offer certain characteristics. In this way you can make it better, or make it last longer.Jeffrey M. Smith has published a study about
19、 the dangers of GM food. It was discovered that when GM soy was fed to female rats they found that all their young died within 3 weeks compared to a natural 10% death rate. Their young were also born smaller and they later had problems becoming pregnant. A study of pigs found that they also became i
20、nfertile(不育) after eating GM corn.Many people are eating GM food without even realizing it. The solution to this problem is simple. Human beings existed in their current form for hundreds of thousands of years. For most of that time we ate a diet consisting of meat, fruit, vegetable, fish, eggs and
21、nuts. This is our perfect diet which leads us to live a healthy and long life. But over the last 30 years North America has experienced diabetes, cancer and heart disease.

25、her Profit.DPublic transport is decreasing in the rich world. To those who have to squeeze(挤) onto the number 25 bus in London, or the A train in New York, the change might not be noticeable. But public transport is becoming less busy in those places, and passenger numbers are flat or falling in alm
26、ost every American city. That is true despite healthy growth in urban populations and employment.Although transport agencies blame their unpopularity on things like roadworks and broken signals, it seems more likely that they are being less competitive. App-based taxi services like Uber and Lyft are
27、 more comfortable and convenient than trains or buses. Cycling is nicer than it was, and rental bikes are more widely available. Cars are cheap to buy, thanks to cut-rate loans, and ever cheaper to run. Online shopping, home working and office-sharing mean more people can avoid travelling altogether
28、.The competition is only likely to grow. More than one laboratory is developing new transport technologies and applications. Silicon Valley invented Uber and, more recently, apps that let people rent electric scooters(滑板车) and then abandon them on the pavement. China created sharing-bicycles and bat
29、tery-powered e-bikes, both of which are spreading.There is some doubt whether most people make clear distinctions between public and private transport. They just want to get somewhere, and there is a cost in time, money and comfort. An ideal system would let them move across a city for a single paym
30、ent, transferring from trains to taxis to bicycles as needed. Building a platform to allow that requires much sweet-talking of traditional networks as well as technology firms, which is probably the secret to keeping cities moving.32. What is the change in public transport in big cities?A. It is bec
31、oming busier.B. It is getting less popular.C. There are fewer traffic delays.D. There is more new transport. 33. In the authors opinion, the reason for the decrease of public transport is that _.A. there are roadworks and broken signalsB. people are becoming healthier and employedC. cars and bikes a
32、re more and more availableD. transport agencies are seemingly less competitive34. How does the author develop his idea in Paragraph 3?A. By giving examplesB. By providing research resultsC. By stating arguments D. By comparing different approaches35. According to the text, the key to keeping cities
33、moving is _.A. to develop an ideal system that satisfies everyoneB. to build a platform that appeals to transport agenciesC. to provide people with more means of transportationD. to satisfy the needs of both traditional networks and technology firms第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
