Researchers s
36、tudied the effects of one such gascarbon dioxideon rice. The researchers grew rice plants in a controlled environment. They set carbon dioxide levels to what scientists were predicting for our planet by the end of the century. They found that the resulting rice crops had lower than normal levels of
37、vitamins, minerals and protein. The researchers said the effects of planet-warming gases would be most severe for the poorest citizens in some of the least developed countries. These people generally eat the most rice and have the least complex diets, they noted. In the experiment, scientists grew 1
38、8 kinds of rice in fields in China and Japan. They pumped carbon dioxide gas over the plants in an effort to create the atmosphere of the future.

42、 He said that you cannot completely change all the natural systems that living organisms have grown to depend on over millions of years without having effects come back to affect our own health. The new study suggests a way to lower the nutritional harm of climate change. One way, Kobayashi said, is

In the absence of wolves, coyote populations also grew quickly. The coyotes killed a large percentage of the parks red foxes, and completely drove away the parks b
53、eavers. As early as 1966, biologists asked the government to consider reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone Park. They hoped that wolves would be able to control the elk and coyote problems. Many farmers opposed the plan because they feared that wolves would kill their farm animals or pets. The govern
54、ment spent nearly 30 years coming up with a plan to reintroduce the wolves. The US Fish and Wildlife Service carefully monitors and manages the wolf packs in Yellowstone. Today, the debate continues over how well the gray wolf is fitting in at Yellowstone. Elk, deer, and coyote populations are down,
55、 while beavers and red foxes have made a comeback. The Yellowstone wolf project has been a valuable experiment to help biologists decide whether to reintroduce wolves to other parts of the country as well. 【语篇概述】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了以前在黄石地区随处可见的灰狼的消失以及所引发的一系列生态问题。政府为改善这一问题开展了历时30年的引进和繁育狼的计划, 迄今为止已经取得了很好的成效

But the glacier was gone, melted by the warming climate. Sharp had a deep sense of loss whe
61、n she discovered the glacier wasnt there anymore. Loss is a growing issue for people working and living on the front lines of climate change.

Interesting. 【解析】选B。词义猜测题。根据上文“no easy fix”以及下文的“theyre going to be dealing with it for the rest of their lives”可知这是一个如此困难的问题以至于学生们要用他们的余生来解决它。
