This means the grains will have more starch while the root will exude less nutrients that will later be turned into methane by microbes (微生物) in the soil, Sun, who works with Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, told Xinhua.“It solves two major problems mankind faces at one time: environmental degradation and the need for increased grain output,” Wang Feng, another scientist, said, adding that the rice can cut methane discharge by more than 90 percent during summer and more than half during autumn, as “the rice displays a greater emission reduction effect in high temperatures.” Meanwhile, small-scale trials have also suggested an increased output: a single plant of the new breed has 300 more grains with a starch content 10 percent higher. Wang said the team is working on applications for the rice in different areas, seasons and using different farming techniques. “Its still far away from mass application, but at least we see the light of hope.”Human-induced methane, though less abundant than carbon dioxide in the air, is responsible for 20 percent of the global warming effect. Rice paddies are the largest single source of methane linked to human activity. According to the Ministry of Agriculture, China produces 209 million tons of rice in xx, or 28 percent of the worlds total of 734 million.25SUSIBA2 Rice will be a major breakthrough because_.Ait tastes with a barley flavor.Bit well balances environmental protection and grains increase.Cit contains more starch than the ordinary rice.Dit gives off less methane in summer than in winter.26What can we learn from the text?AScientists will soon grow the new rice in large areas.BHuman-related methane contributes most to global warming.CChina may contribute greatly to global warming reduction.DRice fields will be reduced all over the world.27The purpose of this writing is to_.Aask people to cut down on their dependence on rice consumption.Bdraw peoples attention to the serious consequences of global warming.Cintroduce a new kind of genetically-modified rice and its possible benefits.Dindicate human-related methane alone is to blame for global warming effects.第三节（每小题2分，共10分） Getting your children to study can be a little like getting them to eat their vegetables._1_ Make a study time and have it at the same time every day.
