The research， published on Sunday， says the government repeatedly claims that the levels of pesticide are safe because，instead of measuring individual apples， researchers buy 10， crush them and take an average reading to see if they are safe. This is the internationally agreed method of checking remains. But government figures show that the pesticide is not averagely spread across the batch(一批)， and one or two apples could contain 90% or more of the pesticide in the batch. It used mathematical modeling to measure exposure(暴露) to pesticides for children aged between 18 months and four years old. The pesticides involved can destroy childrens hormones and some are suspected(怀疑) of causing cancer. The good news for British fruit growers is that samples grown in this country had lower residue level than imported fruit， so buying home-produced fruit will reduce the danger， said Emily Diamand， one of the Earths senior food researchers and one of the authors of the report. 56.

A. there are some pests in the apple B. children would get a poisonous level of pesticides because of the remainson the apple C. there are always more pesticides on the applesproduced in Britain D.the apple is too hard for children to eat57.

A. two apples，crush them and take an average reading to see if they are safe B. five apples，crush them and test to see if they aresafe C. ten apples，crush them and take an averagereading to see if they are safe D. eighty apples， and then test them by crushing58.

We will have polluted our seas badly，and be unable to eat fish from them. We will have made the air so dirty that we will need to wear masks. The worlds population will have doubled， and we will have used all the countryside for housing; there will be no farmland left.Other people believe that Man adapts very easily. They have a different idea of the future. How， in their views，will people be living in a hundred years time？One architect believes that Man will move off the land. He suggests that the city of the future will be a huge， pyramid-shaped building， which will be floating on the surface of the sea. About 5，000 families will be living there，and the building will contain shops and schools as well as homes. By living on the sea，we will give the farmers more land to grow crops.As for oil，people will no longer need it: we will be heating our homes with power from the sun. And we will not be short of minerals， because there are plenty under our oceans. At the moment， we do not have the technology to get them out. But， in a hundred years time， the optimists say， the new sea cities will be using these resources. What will be in the shops in the year 3000？ What will people be wearing？ How will people be traveling？ Scientists who make predictions about the future suggest that， by the year 3000， shops will no longer exist. Computers will have replaced them; and people will order goods from home. People will be wearing very light， thin clothes. By this time， scientists will have invented a fabric that keeps us cool in hot weather and warm in cold weather. As for travel， the experts say that most people will be using public transport. Electric cars will be traveling through the streets day and night. Anybody will be able to stop one and use it. An interesting picture. Unfortunately， we will not be there to see if these predictions come true.68. Pessimists believe that in the future _. A. the seas and oceans will be full of houses B. well have used up all the resources C. we will not have enough fish to eat from the seas D. we will have polluted the air so badlly that it willbe impossible for us to breath 69. Optimists suggest that _. A. all the land will be too polluted to be cropped on B. pyramids will be the most commonly-used houses C. people will be using the power from the sun instead of oil D. we will be short of materials even though we getthem from under the oceans70. Scientists have made the predictions EXCEPT _. A. electric cars will be going along the streets continuously B. the resources under the oceans will never be used up C. people will order from home D. people wont suffer from cold any longer EIt was early morning. Peter Corbett helped Mark Wellman out of his wheelchair and onto the ground. They stood before El Capitan， a huge rock almost three-quarters of a mile high in Californias beautiful Yosemite Valley. It had been Marks dream to climb El Capitan as long as he could remember. But how could a person without the use of his legs hope to try to climb it？ Mark knew he couldnt finish the climb alone， but his friend Peter， an expert rock climber， would be there to lend a helping hand. He and Mark thought that it would take seven days to reach the top. Peter climbed about 100 feet up and hammered a piton(岩钉) into the rock. Fastening(扎牢) one end of a 165-foot rope to the piton， he let the other end of the rope fall down. Mark caught the rope and fastened it to his belt with a special tool. This tool would allow Mark to move upward， but would prevent him from falling even as much as a single inch. He next reached above his head and fastened a T-bar to the rope， using the same kind of tool.Mark took a deep breath， pushed the T-bar up almost as far as his arms could reach， and began the first of the 7，000 pull-ups needed to reach the top. High above， Peter let out a cheer， “Youre on your way.”Seven years before， at the age of twenty-one， he had fallen while climbing mountain， injuring his backbone. The fall cost him the use of his legs， but he never lost his love of adventure or his joyful spirit.For the first four days the two men progressed steadily(稳定地) upward without accident. But on the fifth day， a strong hot wind began to blow， and as time went by， it became stronger and stronger， causing Mark to sway violently on his rope. But Mark kept on determinedly pushing up the T-bar and pulling himself up. In spite of that， he had to admit(承认) that he felt a lot better when the wind finally died down and his body touched solid rock again.It took them one day more than they had expected， but on July 26 at 1:45 in the afternoon， the crowd of people waiting on the top went wild with joy as the two heads appeared. Mark Wellman showned that if you set your heart and mind on a goal， no wall is too high，no dream impossible.71. What had Mark Wellman long hoped to do？ A. To climb El Capitan.B. To be the first to climb El Capitan. C. To climb the highest mountain in California. D. To help his friend Peter climb El Capitan.72. How did Mark climb the mountain？ A. He
