at that moment agroup of backpackers amved. according to the games rules, people who are not in the game must not be allowed to find out about secret caches. so i pretended to make a phone call while waiting for them to leave. when the coast was clear,i grabbed the object. it was the cache! i opened it and pulled out a crumpled（皱的）sheet of paper with several names and celebratory messages written on it.i added my own and replaced the cache in its hiding place, ready for the next geocacher to find. it may seem like a simple game, but the idea that there are caches hidden all around us is exciting. once youre hooked, its easy to set yourself the goal of finding every single cache in a neighborhood or even an entire city. the real treasure, however, is not the cache itself, but the places it takes you to. hunting for further caches has since introduced me to places which i didnt even know existed. some are peaceful parks, while others are forgotten historical sites.a few caches have even been in places i passed regularly without giving them any thought. now,ifeel a much closer connection.1. what was the authors initial attitude to geocaching?

genetic engineering creates many positive contributions to agriculture for example, by genetically engineered（ge） foods, anti-cancer agents, minerals and vitamins can be increasedimproved taste, shelf life, and better transport are all possiblealso, ge plants can increase pest and bacterial resistance, therefore, making the food safe for consumers but some argue that the possible negative effects outweigh the positives, and critics are starting to voice their concerns unlike europe, in the united states labeling is not required on genetically engineered foods or on foods that contain genetically engineered products most americans do not realize that they are, in fact, eating ge foods the public is also concerned about the unknown health riskswith limited understanding of genes, scientists cannot predict possible effectsbecause most genes introduced into ge plants come from sources not introduced into the human body, it is impossible to know if they will cause reactions moreover, due to the lack of labeling if allergies develop, it will be extremely difficult to find the origin of them there is also a major moral question in many mindsfor many, the conflict is not if it is safe or not, but it disturbs them because it is unnatural and unnecessarywe are currently producing one and a half times the amount of food needed to feed the world, yet one in seven people are starvingge food is unnecessary, and fails to address the root of hunger many believe that the only people who will benefit are the corporations that produce it scientists cannot foresee the possible effects of ge foods, yet we eat them every day without even knowing itwe already have enough food, so why create more that could be potentially harmful to us, to the earth and to all wildlife? i think that the benefits are amazing, but until we know for sure how these foods will affect us, they are not worth the risk1、according to the passage, traditional breeding is different from genetic engineering because _.atraditional breeding changes the genes in the same speciesbtraditional breeding changes the genes in different speciesctraditional breeding takes place within the same speciesdtraditional breeding is more scientific2the lack of labeling in paragraph 4 indicates _.ainformation concerning gene sources is unavailable to customersbit is currently possible to find the origins of some allergiescscientists try to hide potential dangers from customersdthe us government is responsible for ge food3according to paragraph 5, ge food is unnecessary because_. ait wont help solve the problem of hunger in the world bthere are potential dangers in producing ge food cwere now producing more food than before dcustomers will benefit from ge food4what is the authors attitude towards genetic engineering?awelcoming bdisapproving cunconcerned doptimistic参考答案14、caab 阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的a,b,c或d四个选项中，选出最佳选项。medical drugs sometimes cause more damage than they cure. one solution to this problem is to put the drugs inside a capsule, protecting them from the bodyand the body from themuntil they can be released at just the right spot. there are lots of ways to trigger (引发) this release，including changing temperature, acidity, and so on. but triggers can come with their own risksburns, for example. now, researchers in california have designed what could be a harmless trigger to date: shining nearinfrared light (nir, 近红外线) on the drug in the capsule.the idea of using light to liberate the drug in the capsule isnt new. researchers around the globe have developed polymers (聚合物) and other materials that begin to break down when they absorb either ultraviolet (uv, 紫外线) or visible light. but tissues also readily absorb uv and visible light, which means the drug release can be triggered only near the skin, where the light can reach the capsule. nir light largely passes through tissues, so researchers have tried to use it as a trigger. but few compounds (化合物) absorb nir well and go through chemical changes. that changed last year when adah almutairi, a chemist at the university of california, san diego, reported that she and her colleagues had designed a polymer that breaks down when it absorbs nir light. their polymer used a commercially available nirabsorbing group called onitrobenzyl (onb). when they catch the light, onb groups fall off the polymer, leading to its breakdown. but onb is only a soso nir absorber, and it could be poisonous to cells when it separates from the polymer.so almutairi and her colleagues reported creating a new material for capsules thats even better. this one consists of a long chain of compounds called cresol groups linked in a polymer. cresol contains reactive (易反应的) components that make it highly unstable in its polymeric form, a feature almutairi and her colleagues use to their advantage. after polymerizing the cresols, they cap each reactive co
