11．The weather predictions for Asia in 2050read like a story from a doomsday movie．
Many experts and green groups fear they will come true unless there is a united global effort to hold back greenhouse gas outpouring．In the decades to come，Asia---home to more than half the world's 63billion people-will change from one climate extreme to another，with tired farmers battling droughts，floods，disease，food shortages and rising sea levels．
"It's not a pretty picture，"said Steve Sawyer，climate policy adviser with Greenpeace in Amsterdam．Global warming and changes of weather patterns are already occurring and there is more than enough carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere to drive climate change for decades to come．
Already，changes are being felt in Asia but worse is likely to come，Sawyer and top climate bodies say，and could lead to mass migration and widespread human disasters．According to predictions，icebergs will melt faster，some Pacific and Indian Ocean islands will have to evacuate（疏散） or build sea defenses，storms will become more intense and insect and water-borne diseases will move into new areas as the world warms．
All this comes with rising populations and demand for food，water and other resources．Experts say environmental worsening such as deforestation and pollution will probably enlarge the results of climate change．
In what could be a sign of the future，Japan was hit by a record of 10typhoons and tropical storms this year，while two-thirds of Bangladesh，parts of Nepal and large areas of northeastern India were flooded，affecting 50million people，destroying livelihoods and making tens of thousands ill．
The year before，a winter cold struck and a summer heat wave killed more than 2，000people in India．

60．This passage is mainly aboutB．
A．what kind of weather we like best
B．the weather predictions for Asia in the future and the reasons
C．how to improve our environment
D．that the world will not be suitable for us to live in
61．In the future the Asian farmers will have to face the following exceptC．
A．food shortages   B．droughts     C．wars     D．floods
62．The underlined word"doomsday"may give us the feeling ofB．

3．Many of us may be eating food containing GM（轉(zhuǎn)基因的） ingredients without realizing it．Are GM foods safe for people？Can they help solve the poverty problem？They have been the subjects of a hot debate．
This debate is related to increasing challenges from rising climatic change，population growth，urbanization，and natural resource consumption．According to the Food and Agriculture Organization，food production needs to increase by 60percent by 2050in order to feed 9billion people．Scientists and policymakers are searching for effective ways to gain nutritious food，for today and future．Unlike previous agricultural methods （such as the Green Revolution），GM crops are to fight food safety and poverty challenges．
The great expansion of GM crop varieties over the last two decades can be seen easily．The total area devoted to GM crops has increased 100times from 1.7million hectares in 1996to 170million hectares in 2012．Developing countries now grow more GM crops than developed countries （in terms of area），largely driven by Brazil's rapid adoption of GM crops．China is home to about 4percent of the total global area devoted to GM crops．Beans，corn，and cotton are main global GM crops，while China's focus is on cotton，papaya，and poplar．
Recently，a scientific study shows that GM crops are safe for people and the     environment．According to a 2010report on the safety of GM crops by the EU，"the main conclusion to be drawn from the efforts of more than 130research projects，covering a period of more than 25years of research，and involving more than 500research groups，is that biology methods，are not more risky than traditional planting technologies，for example．"Other international and national scientific bodies，such as the World Health Organization，have reached the same conclusion．
24．As for GM crops，what do people mainly focus on？C
A．Food production．
B．Food nutrition．
C．Food safety．
D．Food variety．
25．What does Paragraph 3talk about？D
A．More GM crops in developing countries．
B．Less GM crops in developed countries．
C．Rapid adoption of GM crops in Brazil．
D．The expansion of GM crop varieties of the world．
26．From a recent scientific study，we can infer thatB．
A．traditional planting technologies are more risky
B．the safety of GM crops has been proved in many ways
C．the safety of GM crops was reported by the EU in 2010
D．present GM crops are safe for people and the environment
27．What's the writer's attitude towards GM crops？A
A．Supportive．
B．Opposed．
C．Unknown．

16．MELBOURNE，Australia-A kangaroo frightened by a man walking his dog attacked the pair，throwing the pet underwater and hitting the owner in the stomach with its back legs．The Australian，Chris Rickard，was in stable condition Monday after the attack，which ended when the 49-year-old struck the kangaroo in the throat．
Rickard said he was walking his blue dog，Rocky，on Sunday morning when they surprised a sleeping kangaroo in Arthur's Creek northeast of Melbourne．The dog chased the animal into a pond，when the kangaroo turned and knocked the pet underwater．
When Rickard tried to pull his dog free，the kangaroo turned on him，attacking with its back legs and tearing a deep cut into his stomach and across his face．
"I thought I might take action to drag the dog out from under his grasp，but I didn't expect him to actually attack me，"Rickard，49，told The Herald Sun newspaper．"It was a shock at the start because it was a kangaroo，about 5 feet high，they don't go around killing people．"
"I was stuck having to hold on to the dog with both hands because it was half drowned and I couldn't really see anything because the kangaroo just attacked me．"
He added，"All I could do was just keep pushing for the bank and he was trying to push me under the water，so at that point I struck him in the throat and that made him back off a little bit．
"I don't think I'll ever be able to watch kangaroo programs quite the same as I used to-it might bring back a couple of bad memories．"
Kangaroos rarely attack people but will fight if they feel threatened．
Dogs often chase kangaroos，which have been known to lead the pets into water and defend themselves there．
Rickard said he ended the attack by hitting the kangaroo in the throat adding Rocky was"half-drowned"when he pulled him from the water．

20．Turning the lights out or wearing a blindfold while eating could be a quick way to lose weight，according to scientists．The simple trick works because it stops diners eating for pleasure rather than for calories．It also triggers （引發(fā)） a part of the brain that is worried that unseen food may go bad．
An experiment by the University of Konstanz，in Germany，found that people who were blindfolded consumed nine percent fewer calories before they felt full，compared to those who could see．They also vastly overestimated how much they had eaten because they could not see how much was left on the plate．Blindfolded volunteers estimated they had eaten 88percent more than they actually had．
Scientists believe that not seeing food on the table also allows the body to know when it is full in real time rather than remembering past experiences where it might have taken a full plate to feel full．
In the experiment，50people were blindfolded and 40were allowed to see their food．All were told not to eat within two hours of the experiment．They were then given three 95g bowls of chocolate ice cream and invited to eat for 15minutes．Their bowls were taken away and the remaining ice-cream weighed，while the participants were quizzed on how much they thought they had eaten．
On average the group who could see ate 116g while the blindfolded groups ate 105g．However，the blindfolded group believed they had eaten 197g while compared with 159g for the non-blind volunteers．They were also asked how pleasant the ice-cream tasted and the blindfolded group rated lower than those who could see．
"The experienced pleasure of eating was significantly lower in the blindfolded group．Not seeing the food might have decreased the appetite．Sight plays an important role in the eating experience and in the overall dining experience．"
Previous studies have shown that the visual influence of food plays a large part in the taste．While restaurants that allow diners to eat in the dark state that it triggers other senses，in fact eating in darkness is likely to taste far milder than usual．

28．With the lights out，diners eat less partly becauseD．
A．they want to quickly finish their meals
B．they trust their feelings more than ever
C．they focus more on fun than the calories
D．they worry about the quality of the food
29．We can learn from the passage that the blindfolded groupB．
A．spent a much longer time eating the same food
B．believed they ate more than they really did
C．depended on past experiences to feel full
D．thought the food tasted better than usual
30．The last two paragraphs tell us thatA．
A．diners are likely to lose their appetite eating in darkness
B．senses rather than sight play an important role in the taste
C．findings of this experiment differ from the previous studies
D．restaurants benefit a lot from allowing diners to eat in the dark
31．The main purpose of the passage is toC．
A．provide statistics related to eating in the dark
