researchers have discovered a way to genetically engineer rice which would provide significant health benefits to more than half the worlds population. a study undertaken at the university of tasmania, published in the national academy of sciences, discovered a method to increase the resistant starch(抗性淀粉) content in rice, making it more digestible and leading to lower rates of diabetes(糖尿病) and obesity(肥胖症). steven m. smith, the lead author of the study and a foreign expert for the chinese government who has been appointed to work on crop improvement projects by the chinese academy of sciences, said increasing the resistant starch content gave this “designer” rice many added health benefits. “we have discovered that we can increase the amount of resistant starch in cooked rice, which could provide health benefits for a large number of people in asia and beyond,” smith said in a media release on friday. “ the same approach can be adapted for use in other cereals, including wheat. not only can it have benefits for diabetes and obesity, but also for disorders of the bowel(肠) including cancer.” rice is the main food for more than half the worlds population, providing much of the world with most of its calories. smith said that as the rate of diabetes and obesity in asian countries continued to grow, his “designer” rice could provide a way to limit health problems. “not only does resistant starch reduce the likelihood of a sugar hit but it also reduces the appetite and promotes the growth of the healthy germs,” smith said. smith divides his time between the university of tasmania and his research lab in beijing where he hopes to make significant advances in sustainable living. 12. what do we know about the study?a. it is part of chinese crop improvement projects. b. it will have significant benefits on peoples health. c. it was jointly carried out by the australian and chinese researchers. d. it helps solve the food problem for more than half of the worlds population. 13. based on the text, the resistant starch _. a. exists in large amounts in cooked rice. b. decreases the possibility of a “sugar hit” and provides more calories. c. is helpful in digestion and lowers the rate of obesity and diabetesd. increases peoples appetite and improves the growth of healthy germs14. the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refers to _. a. resistant starch b. cooked rice c. the approach d. the media release15. where does this text probably come from?a. a scientific report. b. a medical journal. c. an engineering textbook. d. an agricultural magazine. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据对话情景和内容，从对话后的选项中选出能入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 natural herbal medicines have been a part of the medicine world for a long time. _16_ some people use them for
