The place would be large enough to hold about two million seeds. The goal is to present all crops known to scientists. The British magazine New Scientist published details of the plan last month. The structure will be designed to protect the worlds food supply against nuclear war, climate change and other possible threats. It will be built in a mountain on the Norwegian island of Spitsbergen. The mountain is less than one thousand kilometers from the North Pole, the northernmost position on earth.An international group called the Global Crop Diversity Trust is working on the project. The director of the group, Cary Fowler, spoke to New Scientist. He said the project would let the world rebuild agriculture if, in his word, “the worst came to the worst”. Norway is expected to start work next year. The project is expected to cost three million dollars. Workers will drill deep in the side of a sandstone mountain. Temperatures in the area never rise above 0C. The seeds will be protected behind concrete walls a meter thick and high-security door.The magazine report says the collection will represent the products of ten thousand years of farming. Most of the seeds at first will come from collections at seed banks in Africa, Asia and Latin America. To last a long time, seeds need to be kept in very low temperatures. Workers will not be present all the time. But they plan to replace the air inside the storage space each winter. Winter temperatures on the island are about eighteen degrees below 0C. The cold weather would protect the seeds even if the air could not be replaced.Mr. Fowler says the proposed structure will be the worlds most secure gene bank. He says the plant seeds would only be used when all other seeds are gone for some reason. Norway first proposed the idea in the 1980s. But security concerns delayed the plan. At that time, the Soviet Union was meeting in Rome of the Food and Agriculture Organization.71. The project is meant to _.Aincrease the worlds food output in the futureBcarry out some scientific experiments on plant genesCprotect crop seeds from dying out in case of possible disastersDbuild an exhibition centre of the worlds plant seeds72. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the above passage?AThe government of Norway will perform the project alone. BTemperature is a major consideration when choosing the storage place.CSpitsbergen is chosen because it is free of the threat unclear war forever.DSeeds to be collected there were produced ten thousands years ago.73. We can infer from the text that _.APeople will get newly-developed seeds from the center every year.BThe storage center will greatly promote world agriculture.CThere havent been any seed storage centres in the world before.DNorway had meant to build the storage centre about 20 years before.74. What is probably the best title of the passage?AThe Best Place to Store SeedsBA New Way to Feed the WorldCNoahs Ark（诺亚方舟）of Plant Seeds in Plan DConcerns of World Food SupplyBWho is behind wiseGEEK? Its one of the most common questions we receive. We are a team of researchers, writers and editors providing short, clear and concise answers to common questions. Currently, there are over 200 active contributors; you can read some of their profiles (档案) below. Catherine has been involved with wiseGEEK since the beginning of 2006. Currently, she mainly manages our writers and editors and deals with visitors about their comments and questions. What she loves most about wiseGEEK is learning more details about the things you kind of know about, and learning about things you never knew existed! Some articles she particularly enjoyed include What is a Trekkie? What is a Wormhole?She comes to wiseGEEK with a degree in political science from the University of California, Berkeley. While her time is mostly filled with working for wiseGEEK, she can also be found trying to squeeze（挤进） in trips whenever she can, usually to Europe. Bronwyn began working for wiseGEEK as an editor, and though she continues to write and edit, she also puts her natural curiosity to work by thinking of new article topics. Bronwyn loves questions nearly as much as she loves answers! Bronwyn has a degree in Psychology from UC Davis, and a teaching credential（证书） from CSU Sacramento. She is a primary school teacher and artist. There are few things she loves more than her dog, Solomon, her leopard, Tiger, and good chocolate.In addition to writing the questions and editing the answers, Bronwyn has also written a few for wiseGEEK, including, What is an Owl Pellet?, and Can I Really Make Yarn Out of my Dogs Fur?Johnny is the expert behind the scenes at wiseGEEK. Like most of the wiseGEEK team, Johnny works with language; but unlike our writers and editors, Johnnys languages are PHP and SQL. He ensures that the website remains accessible and the pages load fast. Johnny has a Masters Degree in computer science; in addition to applying his skill to wiseGEEK, he also teaches programming classes at a technical school.“Programming for wiseGEEK is a challenge, but not getting distracted (分心) and educated by the content on the site, is even harder.”When Johnny is away from his computer, he likes playing the guitar; when hes even farther away, he enjoys hiking.Carolyn joined wiseGEEK as a part-time editor in April 2009, and now works full time hiring new writers, responding to questions from readers, and doing whatever else needs to be done. She comes to wiseGEEK after more than six years working as an online news producer. Although still a bit of a news junky, Carolyn really appreciates no longer being woken at 3 a.m. on Sunday morning to deal with breaking news. She has a degree in History from Oberlin College, and spent two years studying Mass Communications at the University of Texas-Austin.In her spare time, Carolyn loves t
