The old rule that “children should be seen and not heard” is rarely _ (52), and children are often allowed to do _ (53) they wish without strict control of their parents. The father seldom expects his children to listen to him _ (54) question, and children are

This pattern of independence often results in serious _ (61) for the aging parents of a small family. The average A

Their work may e
7、nable abandoned farms to become productive once more.Tim Flowers and Tony Yeo, from Sussex Universitys School of Biological Sciences, have spent several years researching how crops, such as rice, could be made to grow in water that has become salty.The pair have recently begun a three-year programme
8、, funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council, to establish which genes enable some plants to survive salty conditions. The aim is to breed this capability into crops, starting with rice.It is estimated that each year more than 100 hectares (公頃) of agricultural land are lost
9、 because salt gets into the soil and stunts (妨礙生長)plants. The problem is caused by several factors. In the tropics, mangroves (紅樹林) that create swamps (沼澤) and traditionally formed barriers to sea water have been cut down. In the Mediterranean, a series of droughts have caused the water table to dro
10、p, allowing sea water to seep (滲透) in. in Latin America, irrigation often causes problems when water is evaporated (蒸發(fā)) by the heat, leaving salt deposits behind.Excess salt then enters the plants and prevents them functioning normally. Heavy concentrations of minerals in the plants stop them drawin
11、g up the water they need to survive.To overcome these problems, Flowers and Yeo decided to breed rice plants that take in very little salt and store what they do absorb in cells that do not affect the plants growth. They have started to breed these characteristics into a new rice crop, but it will t
12、ake about eight harvests before the resulting seeds are ready to be considered for commercial use.Once the characteristics for surviving salty soil are known, Flowers and Yeo will try to breed the appropriate genes into all manners of crops and plants. Land that has been abandoned to nature will the
13、n be able to bloom again, providing much needed food in the poorer countries of the world.The attitude of the author towards the research project isApositiveBnegative.CsuspiciousDindifferent. 3.Robots 1 The most sophisticated(先進的)Japanese robots, which have vision systems and work at very high speed
14、s, are still based on American designs. Studies of robots, particularly computer control software, are considered to be generally less advanced in Japan than in America or Europe. 2 Although industrial robots were originally developed as devices for simply handling objects, today their commonest use
15、s are for more skilled work like welding (焊接), spray-painting and assembling components. 3 In Britain, robot sales appropriately peaked in 1984, but have been declining ever since. This is partly because British wage rates are too low to make robots financially attractive and partly because engineer
16、s now have more experience with robots and are more aware of the difficulties of introducing them effectively. 4 It has been calculated that a robot uses on average about 100 times more energy than a human to do an equivalent job. 5 It is estimated that 20% of all comic book heroes in Japan are robo
17、ts. This is an enormous number because comics are so popular that they make up a third of all material published in Japan. 6 The reliability of robots is measured in their M.T.B.F. or mean time between failures. This has risen from about 250 hours in the mid-1970s to about 10,000 hours today (equiva
18、lent to working 18 hours a day for two years.) One way robot manufacturers have increased reliability is to test every single component they buy, instead of the normal procedure of just testing a small sample. 7 The biggest single benefit of introducing robots claimed by Japanese companies is that t
19、hey increase quality control. Once programmed, the robots can work more accurately and consistently than humans, who can get tired and bored.

Several times this year, the Pacific island nation has been flooded
22、 by a sudden high tide. These tides, which swept across the island and destroyed houses, came when there was neither wind nor rain. “This never happened before,” say the older citizens of Kiribati. What is causing these mysterious high tides The answer may well be global warming. When fuels like oil
23、 and coal are being burned, pollutants (污染物)are released; these pollutants trap heat in the earths atmosphere. Warmer temperatures cause water to expand and also create more water by melting glaciers (冰川 )and polar (極地的) ice caps. If the trend continues, scientists say, many countries will suffer, B
24、angladesh, for example, might lose one-fifth of its land. The coral (珊瑚) island nations of the Pacific, like Kiribati and the Marshall Islands, however, would face an even worse fate they would be swallowed by the sea. The loss of these coral islands would be everyones loss. Coral formations are hom
25、e to more species than any other place on earth. The people of these nations feel frustrated. The sea, on which their economies have always been based, is suddenly threatening their existence. They dont have the money for expensive technological solutions like seawalls. And they have no control over
26、 the pollutants, which are being released mainly by activities in large industrialized countries. All they can do is to hope that industrialized countries will take steps to reduce pollution.Some industrialized countries are unwilling to spend money in reducing pollution.ARightBWrongCNot mentioned 5
