Organization WHO says half of them die within a year of losing their sight Vitamin A deficiency is a problem especially in Africa and Southeast Asia So scientists thought of an answer They combined white rice with plant compounds that the body can change into vitamin A These plant colorings give the rice a golden color The scientists also thought of a plan to give away this Golden Rice for free to poor farmers But the rice cannot be made using traditional methods The scientists worked for ten years until 1990 to develop the technology to add genes to rice Then it took nine more years to get the genes they wanted into the seed Professor Ingo Potrykus says rice with two added genes will be available in 2013 One gene comes from maize or corn and the other from a soil bacterium 细菌 Opponents say such crops may cause environmental damage by breeding with other plants Opponents also question the safety of Golden Rice However Mr Potrykus says Golden Rice has never been shown to be unsafe for the environment or people Many agricultural organizations support the project 20 What is the probable reason why some people do not get enough Vitamin A A Because they are short of food C Because white rice contains no vitamin B Because they feed on white rice D Because white rice has no nutrients 21 The underlined word deficiency in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to A additionB averageC

The scientists in a laboratory are experimenting on mice and they are studying the relationship between diet and health In this experiment the scientists are studying the relationship between the amount of food the mice can eat and their health The mice are in three groups All these groups are receiving the same healthy diet But the amount of food that each group is receiving is different The first group is eating one cup of food each day the second two cups and the third three cups After three years the healthiest group is the one that is only eating one cup of food each day The mice in this group are thinner than normal mice but they are more active Most of the day they are running playing with one another and using the equipment in their cages Also they are living longer Mice usually live for two years while most of the mice in this group are still alive after three years The second group of mice is of normal weight They are healthy too They are active but not as active as the thinner mice But they are only living about two years The last group of mice is receiving more food than the other two groups Most of the day these mice are eating or sleeping They are not active These mice are living longer than the scientists thought about a year and a half but they are not healthy The are sick more often than the other two groups 24 The first group is the thinnest mainly

students from other countries were studying in America during the last school year The number was 5 higher than the year before and almost one third higher than ten years ago There were big increases from China Saudi Arabia Vietnam Iran and Venezuela Almost 22 of international students were Chinese with increases especially at the undergraduate level Together almost half of all international

of a handful of the US institutions but now they are admitted into the US community colleges small liberal arts institutions and research universities really spread across the US Ms Blumenthal suggests that one reason for the increase is a lack of space in Chinese colleges for everyone who wants an education She says students and their parents are also looking for a different educational experience More international students study in California than in any other states For ten years in a row the University of Southern California in Los Angeles led the country with more than 8 600
