1、语篇翻译   阅读下面的短文，将划线部分译成英文或中文。

1. A Chinese man called Cai Lun invented paper about 2 ,000 years ago. He made it from wood. He took the wood from trees and made it into paper. He then put these pieces of paper together and made them into a book.

Now paper still comes from trees. We use a lot of paper every day. If we keep on wasting paper， there will not be any trees left on the earth. If there are no trees, there will be no paper. Every day， people throw away about 2，800 tons of paper in our city. It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper. This means that we are cutting nearly 48,000 trees every day. Since it takes more than 10 years for a tree to grow, we must start using less paper from now on.2. If we don't, we will not have enough time to grow more trees.

So how can we save paper? 3. Some people suggest we should use both sides of every piece of paper. We can also choose drinks in bottles instead of those in paper. We can also use cotton handkerchiefs（手帕） and not paper ones.4. 当我们逛街时，我们可以使用更少的纸袋子。If the shop assistant gives use paper bag, we can save it and reuse it later.

Everyone can help to save paper. If we all think carefully, we can help protect trees. 5. 让我们现在采取行动节约用纸。

24、Today there are 6.4 billion people on the earth. By the year 2050 there may be 12.5 billion. There are many people to feed. We need more and more food.

One way to produce more food is growing stronger plants. For thousands of years, farmers have made plants better. Every season, they pick the best plants for the next season. It works very slowly. Since 1983, scientists have been able to change plants more quickly by changing their genetic (遗传的) material. Foods from plants grown in this way are called genetically modified (转基因的) foods, or GM foods.

By changing the genetic material of a plant, it is possible to make new plants. Scientists make plants which are strong against plant diseases. They can also help in our diseases; a kind of rice will be grown, for example, which stops people becoming blind.

Rich countries produce GM foods because they are easy to grow and bring in more money. Poor countries are interested in them because they help produce more food.

GM plants are not natural. No one knows how good or bad they are. Making GM foods is only one way of feeding people in 2050. There are strong feelings against them because they are unnatural. They may feed people, then hurt them or their children later. But both rich and poor countries are interested in their uses, and they are not going to go away. In 2050, we may think differently about them.

【1】There may be billion people by the year 2050 on the earth.

A．6.4

B．12.5

C．18.5

D．20.5

【2】How have scientists been able to change plants more quickly?

A．By making the best plants.

B．By asking the farmers to grow plants.

C．By changing planting environment.

D．By changing their genetic material.

【3】Why do rich countries produce GM foods?

A．Because they are easy to grow and bring in more money.

B．Because they are easy to grow and very cheap.

C．Because they help produce more food.

D．Because they are the best plants.

【4】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A．GM plants are not natural.

B．GM plants are strong against plant diseases.

C．Everyone knows how good or bad GM plants are.

D．GM foods may hurt people or their children later.

【5】What can we learn from the passage?

A．GM foods will go away one day in the future.

B．GM foods will not go away in the future.

C．People will not be interested in GM foods.

D．People will have to stop eating GM foods.

25、Human, Don’t Come too Close

When we see babies or pets, we can’t help gently touching them to show our love. And they give us happy feelings back. But a recent study shows that it’s different for plants.       

A study, published in The Plant Journal, shows that plants don’t “like” to be touched. That’s because touching changes their genes (基因) and, even worse, can slow their growth.

Professor Jim Whelan of the La Trobe Institute in Australia gave an explanation. “The lightest touch from a human, animal, insect, or even plants touching each other in the wind, leads to a huge gene change in the plant,” Science Daily reported.

In order to test the theory, the scientists did an experiment on plants. They grew a number of plants to the age of four weeks. Then they touched them with a paintbrush every 12 hours over a 36-hour period.       

They found that as a response to the touch, the mitochondria (线粒体) in the plants had been partly destroyed. The mitochondria, as Science Alert noted, are the “powerhouse of the cell (细胞)”. The mitochondria produce energy for the rest of the cell in both animals and plants.

If this “powerhouse” is weakened, the plants will lose a large amount of energy that should have supported their growth. Whelan further explained to Science Daily, “If the touching is repeated, then plant growth is reduced by up to 30 percent.”

Although the process does have a strong effect on plants, usually the plants survive. Touching changes the plants, but it’s not necessarily a bad change.

According to Science Alert, frequent touching or moving plants will make them grow shorter than other ones. The researchers believe this change, in some way, could be helpful. It may help plants fight threats to their health such as insects and bad weather.

The new research findings have led to a deeper understanding of the plants’ response to touching. And the research might “open up new ways to reduce sensitivity (敏感性) and improve growth in the future”, Science Alert reported.

【1】Why did the scientists do the experiment?

A．To test if touching can change the genes of plants.

B．To show that plants’ and animals’ genes are different.

C．To tell when touching has effect on plants and animals.

D．To find out why some plants grow more slowly than others.

【2】What did the scientists find in their experiment?

A．Repeated touching shortened the plants’ life by four weeks.

B．Touching slowed down plant growth by reducing energy for growth.

C．Repeated touching made plants die sooner than they were expected to.

D．Mitochondria in the plants couldn’t produce energy because of touching.

【3】What do the scientists think of the fact that touch makes plants become shorter?

A．The plants will be more likely to be attracted by insects.

B．The plants will be more easily harmed by bad weather.

C．The plants will be less sensitive to being touched.

D．The plants will be better at fighting dangers.

Before 1870, there were no soccer uniforms. Players wore their own clothes, which made 【1】hard to know which team they were on. The first soccer uniform had long shorts.
