even if it would, is it the best solution?despite what it promises, gm technology actually has not increased the production potential of any crop. in fact, studies show that the most widely grown gm crop, gm soybeans, has suffered reduced productivity. for instance, a report that analyzed nearly two decades of research on major gm food crops shows that gm engineering has failed to significantly increase us crop production.something else, however, has been on the rise. while gm seeds are expensive, gm companies tell farmers that they will make good profits by saving money on pesticides (杀虫剂). on the contrary, us government data show that gm crops in the us have produced an overall increase in pesticide use compared to traditional crops. the promise was that you could use less chemicals and boost production. but neither is true. said bill christison, president of the us national farm coalition.at the same time, the authors of the book world hunger: twelve myths argue that there actually is more than enough food in the world and that the hunger crisis is not caused by production, but by problems in food distribution（分配） and politics. these indeed deserve our efforts and money. meanwhile, the rise in food prices results from the increased use of crops for fuel rather than food, according to a 2008 world bank report.as a matter of fact, scientists see better ways to feed the world. another world bank report concluded that gm crops have little to offer to the challenges of worldwide poverty and hunger, because better ways out are available, among which green farming is supposed to be the first choice.36.the author develops the second paragraph mainly _. a. by classification b. by comparison c. by examples d. by supposition （37.what does the underlined word boost in the third paragraph probably mean?a. control. b. evaluate c. obtain. d. increase.38.gm companies promise farmers that they will benefit from _.a. practicing green farming b. use of less chemicalsc. fair distribution of their crops d. using more crops for fuel39.which of the following best describes the attitude of the author towards gm technology? a. optimistic. b. defensive. c. disapproving. d. pessimistic.bthroughout the history of the arts, the nature of creativity has remained constant to artists. no matter what objects they select, artists are to bring forth new forces and forms that cause change-to find poetry where no one has ever seen or experienced it before. landscape(风景) is another unchanging element of art. it can be found from ancient times through the 17th-century dutch painters to the 19th-century romanticists and impressionists. in the 1970s alfred leslie, one of the new american realists, continued this practice. leslie sought out the same place where thomas cole, a romanticist, had produced paintings of the same scene a century and a half before. unlike cole who insists on a feeling of loneliness and the idea of finding peace in nature, leslie paints what he actually sees. in his paintings, there is no particular change in emotion, and he includes ordinary things like the highway in the background. he also takes advantage of the latest developments of color photography(摄影术) to help both the eye and the memory when he improves his painting back in his workroom. besides, all art begs the age-old question: what is real? each generation of artists has shown their understanding of reality in one form or another. the impressionists saw reality in brief emotional effects, the realists in everyday subjects and in forest scenes, and the cro-magnon cave people in their naturalistic drawings of the animals in the ancient forests. to sum up, understanding reality is a necessary struggle for artists of all periods. over thousands of years the function of the arts has remained relatively constant. past or present, eastern or western, the arts are a basic part of our immediate experience. many and different are the faces of art, and together they express the basic need and hope of human beings. 40. the underlined word “poetry” most probably means _. a. an object for artistic creation b. acollection of poems c. an unusual quality d. a natural scene 41. leslies paintings are extraordinary because . a. they are close in style to works in ancient times b. they look like works by 19th-century painters c. they draw attention to common things in life d. they depend heavily on color photography 42. what is the authors opinion of artistic reality? a. it will not be found in future works of art. b. it does not have a long-lasting standard. c. it is expressed in a fixed artistic form. d. it is lacking in modern works of art. 43. what does the author suggest about the arts in the last paragraph? a. they express peoples curiosity about the past. b. they make people interested in everyday experience. c. they are considered important for variety in form. d. they are regarded as a mirror of the human situation. cmini book excerpts（节选）biographywhen salinger learned that a car park was to be built on the land, the middle-aged writer was shocked and quickly bought the neighboring area to protect it the townspeople never forgot the rescue and came to help their most famous neighbor. j. d. salinger：a life by kenneth slawenski（random house, $27）mystery（疑案小说）“youre a smart boy. bennys death was no accident, and youre the only who saw it happen. do you think the murderer should get away with it?
