It’s hard to turn down a tasty banana. They taste good and you don’t have to wash them before eating them. 1 , British scientists say that the fruit may disappear by 2050.
One reason for this is climate 2 . Scientists at the University of Exeter collected data from 27 countries that 3 86 percent of the world’s bananas. They found that climate change has improved growing 4 in 21 of these countries. In the past 6 years, the average yield(平均产量) 5 1.37 tons of bananas per hectare(公顷).
However, if temperatures keep rising, this advantage will disappear. Ten of the countries, 6 India, the world’s biggest producer of bananas, will produce fewer bananas. By 2050, the fruit may 7 .
Shouldn’t bananas grow more easily if it’s 8 outside? In fact, the 9 temperature range for growing bananas is between 24℃ and 32℃. They will stop 10 if the temperatures get too high.
Diseases are 11 danger to bananas. Unlike other plants, the bananas we grow come from shoot cuttings(茎段) rather than seeds. 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 12 kill them all.
One disease that hurts bananas 13 is called Panama. Caused by fungus(真菌) in the soil, it spreads easily. It has spread across South Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Australia. If one banana plantation 14 from the disease, it will take 30 years 15 it is able to grow bananas again. Scientists haven’t found a cure for this disease yet.

Difficult to return
On Sept 6, the Boeing Starliner spacecraft (宇宙飞船) landed back on Earth. However, there were no astronauts inside. The astronauts it meant to take are still stuck in space and need a “space taxi” to bring them home. Why did this happen?
In 2014, NASA asked two companies, Boeing and SpaceX, to make a new spacecraft to take astronauts to and from the International Space Station (ISS). They needed a new spacecraft because NASA’s Space Shuttle, the world’s first reusable spacecraft, was being retired.
While SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft has been taking astronauts to the ISS since 2020, the Boeing Starliner has experienced many problems since 2019.
On June 5, Starliner finally took astronauts to the space station for the first time. However, before the trip, there was a small leak (泄漏) in Starliner’s plumbing (管道系统). Boeing and NASA decided it was safe enough to fly. But as Starliner got close to the ISS, four more leaks happened and five engines stopped working.
Luckily, the spacecraft docked (对接) with the space station, and four of the engines started working again. The astronauts safely arrived at the space station.
NASA worried that if too many engines failed again, it would be dangerous for the astronauts when they try to come back to Earth. That’s why Starliner came back empty. Now, the two astronauts have to stay at the space station and wait for SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft, the “space taxi”, to bring them home.
Even with these problems, NASA still supports Boeing. “You want to have another alternative both for cost reasons and for safety reasons ... So NASA needs Boeing to be successful,” G. Scott Hubbard, a consultant on NASA projects, explained to AP.
Choose the answer:
16. What does "this" in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A. The Boeing Starliner went back empty. B. The Boeing Starliner landed back on Earth.
C. A "space taxi" is going to space. D. Astronauts didn't want to come back.
17. What did Starliner experience on its first flight to the space station?
A. It failed to dock with the space station. B. Some of its engines stopped working.
C. There were leaks in its engines. D. It came across SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft.
18. Why didn't the astronauts come back this time?
A. They were waiting for the newcomers. B. They didn't finish their tasks in the space station.
C. They wanted to experience the "space taxi". D. NASA worried about the safety of the spacecraft.
19. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Boeing will successfully solve its Starliner's problems.
B. Boeing's Starliner is cheaper than SpaceX's Dragon.
C. Having two spacecraft options is a good thing for NASA.
D. The Boeing Starliner faces trust issues after the flight.

阅读短文,用英文填空或回答问题(请注意每小题的词数要求)。
Can you refuse junk food? Are you worried that you are getting heavier and heavier? Do you want to eat more healthily? Can you find a good way to help you?
Try Food Trainer! This app, also called FoodT, was developed by a group of IT engineers in the UK. It may help you through a game.
In the free game, healthy food always appears in green circles and unhealthy food always comes in red circles. Some other everyday objects, such as pencils and sweaters, appear randomly in the green or red circles. Once a user taps on (点击) an object in the green circle, he or she gets a point. But tapping on an object in the red circle gets a point deducted (扣除).
Does this simple game work well? The developers of the app made a study. They invited more than 1,200 volunteers to play the game once a day. After a month, the volunteers reported changes in their diet and weight. Most of them said they had started eating more healthy food. Some volunteers used to eat junk food two to four times a week. At the end of the study, they had reduced this to once a week. Most volunteers lost more than half a kilogram of weight.
The app works very well. Through practice, the game trains users’ brains to “put the brakes (刹车) on” when they see junk food. The users probably say no to unhealthy food in their daily lives!
