D A team of Japanese scientists has discovered genes that enable rice to survive high water,providing hope for better rice production in lowland areas that are affected by flooding. The genes,called SNORKEL genes,help rice grow longer stems to deal with higher water levels.Deepwater rice generally produces low-yield rice plants.But the researchers report they have succeeded in introducing the genes to rice varieties that are higher-yield. According to the report,as water levels rise,accumulation of the plant hormone (makes the SNORKEL genes start working,making stem growth more rapid.When the researchers introduced the genes into rice that does not normally survive in deep water,they were able to rescue the plants from drowning. Motoyuki Ashikari,who headed the project,aid his team is hoping to use the gene on long grain rice widely used in Southeast Asia to help stabilize production in flood areas where rice with the food-resistant gene is low in production--about one-third to one-quarter that of regular rice. "Scientifically the gene that we found is are but clear proof of a biological ability to adapt to a difficult environment,"he said."It's a genetic strategy specifically to survive flooding. High water levels in rice field can be a serious problem.In some areas,rains can cause water levels to rise dangerously high during the growing season and flash flooding can fully submerge plants for days or even weeks. Rice is a main food for billions.and while productivity has increased dramatically since the 1960s,yields must be doubled to meet projected requirements by 2050.More than 30 percent of Asian and 40 percent of African rice land is either lowland field or deep water field. Laurentius of Utrecht University said the study is significant because high-yield rice varieties cannot survive extremes of foods."The introduction of these genes into high-yield varieties,using advanced breeding strategies, promises to improve the quality and quantity of rice,"he said. 32.What is the main character of SNORKEL genes? A.They prevent rice from being attacked by various diseases. 试卷第6页（共11页） B.They help rice grow taller in highland regions. C.They make rice grow tall enough to survive in deep water. D.They make rice be ripe within a shorter time. 33.According to Ashikari,the rice with the gene his team found A.will be one third more expensive than regular rice B.will be helpful for Southeast Asia C.has been widely used in Southeast Asia D.is lower in production than regular rice 34.The underlined word"projected"in the seventh paragraph probably means A.confused B.outdated C.unexpected D.planned 35.What Laurentius said in the last paragraph suggests that A.rice will be planted on the farmland everywhere in the future B.rice with SNORKEL genes will be of high quality in the future C.high-yield rice varieties are not common nowadays D.the quality of rice is difficult to improve 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5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，选项中有两项为多余选 项。 The current population of ovsters (is only a small part of their historic levels.36.To help maintain existing habitats,the state requires licenses for the harvesting of shellfish and controls where and when the harvesting activity can take place.South Carolina's Department of Natural Resources has also planned to recycle and replant oyster shells. 37.They serve as anchors to which babies can attach themselves.Returning shells to the state's rivers ensures that any larvae (looking for a home can find something to which they can be attached. The critical nature of oysters in the ecosystem is difficult to overstate.Along the atlantic shoreline of the United States,the Eastern Oyster is considered a foundation species.Oysters gather together as part of their natural life cycle,forming reefs that provide the habitat for fish,crabs,and other small ocean creatures.38 In addition to being the bedrock of many underwater communities,oysters also help maintain the cleanliness of South Carolina's coastal waters.Dirty water comes in from the ocean and gets filtered by oysters.Water goes back out cleanly.39.Tourists want to go to beautiful and clean beaches,come out on boat trips,and see dolphins. South Carolina is working hard to rebuild coastal reefs that will support and sustain future oyster populations. 试卷第7页（共11页） It's worth keeping in mind that every shell removed from the river could be the base for the next year's new oysters. 40,it's going to be a long time before we get enough recruitment (in the oyster population to keep it sustainable A.Once we lose that natural shell base B.These little tiny fish need somewhere to hide C.Because it is important to recycle the oyster shells D.Even the local tourism industry relies on this effect of oysters E.The best place to settle is going to be where there are adult oysters F.South Carolina is actively working to restore and sustain its wild oysters G.Oyster shells,both live and dead,provide the main habitat for the next generation 三、完形填空（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 It happened on a rainy Saturday morning last month.My wife Catherine and I were driving along what some people called moose (alley.It was so 41 that there were few cars on the road.42,something happened.A moose jumped out across our path.I had been driving for years and was good at driving.In order to 43 knocking into the moose,I made a quick turn to the other lane.If I had not done that,the moose might have beenkilled,and my wife andI might have got 44,too.Afew seconds later,when I 45 and looked back in my rear view mirror,the moose was getting up and then ran into the bush.Shaken but 46,we both looked at each other with a surprised expression.

Grabbing the guitar neck tightly,he couldn't help feeling frustrated and misunderstood. Alper vividly recalled how he had begged his father for this guitar.Though money was tight,his dad had advanced his salary just to buy it and even signed himup for lessons.Mom's words crushedhis last bit of motivation. He had imagined beautiful music flowing magically from his touch from day one.Instead,he faced endless drills that felt pointless and boring.His thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door."Your guitar teacher called today,"his mom said,her voice tired."You've skipped fundamental practice for weeks!"She sighed,"Your father worked overtime for this guitar.Is this how you honor him?"Guilt struck Alper,but anger quickly won over."I hate scale (practice,so boring!"He declared,opening the door and rushing past her with his guitar,heading toward the nearby park. Dusk filled the park with long shadows.Alper kicked a stone angrily along the path.They'll understand my raw talent someday,he thought bitterly.Just then,the clearest and most beautiful music he had ever heard floated through the air.Musical notes,like sunlight,danced through the leaves.Following the sound like a sleepwalker,he found a silver-haired man sitting on a bench under an old oak tree.The man's eyes were peacefully closed,but his rough,aged hands moved with surprising grace as they plucked )the guitar strings smoothly.The melody painted pictures in Alper's mind:gentle rain falling on dry summer ground,children chasing each other at dusk.
