21、 A freshly baked roll is as delightful as a soft,light cloud on a summer's day.What gives bread much of its appealing texture is gluten,a group of proteins found in wheat.But in people with celiac disease(乳糜泻),gluten damages the small intestine(肠).Many others may have milder gluten intolerance and avoid foods that contain it.
Most gluten-free bread is made from alternative flours such as rice or potato,so it tastes and feels different from wheat bread.Now,however,researchers say that they have found a way to genetically engineer wheat that contains far less of the most troublesome type of gluten—but still has other proteins that give bread its characteristic taste and springiness.
Genetically modified crops are the subject of fierce debate around the world.The biggest concern involves the practice of inserting DNA from one species into another,says Francisco Barro,a plant biotechnologist.To avoid this genetic crossover,Barro and his colleagues used the gene-editing technique CRISPR/Cas9 to cut selected genes from a wheat genome(基因组).
Their study zeroed in on alpha-gliadins(α-胶质蛋白),gluten proteins believed to be wheat’s major troublemakers in the immune system.The researchers designed bits of genetic material that directed the scissor-like Cas9 protein to cut out 35 of the 45 alpha—gliadin genes.When the modified wheat was tested in a Petri dish,it produced an 85 percent weaker immune response,the team reported online last September in Plant Biotechnology Journal.
Wendy Harwood,a crop geneticist at the John Innes Center in England,who was not part of the study,notes that the engineered wheat has a long way to go before it can be turned into anything marketable.“I don’t think it's the end of the story.”she says.“This is just a really important step in maybe producing something that is going to be incredibly useful.”To develop a completely safe strain of wheat for celiac patients,the researchers may need to target more of the gluten genes.Barro says his team is working on that.
【1】What’s the text mainly about?
A. Making gluten—free bread.
B. Advantages of gluten-free wheat.

【3】What concerns people most according to paragraph 3?

22、Vegetable displays have become surprisingly similar in markets around the world, which offer primarily commercial vegetables such as tomato, eggplant, onion, carrot, beet, lettuce and broccoli. In other words, world diets are actually becoming more similar and based on fewer crops.
A much greater diversity of vegetables exist in traditional food systems, but many of these crops are poorly integrated in current markets and diets. A total of 1,097 vegetable species, with a great variety of uses and growth forms, are cultivated worldwide. Still, we only seem to be familiar with less than 7% of these species.
The diversity of vegetables is more than a local preference. It could play an important role in ensuring adequate levels of nutrition and in meeting the challenges of agricultural production posed by climate change and soil degradation (退化). Many traditional vegetables are known to have higher nutritional value than commercial vegetables, and are well-adapted to local conditions, exhibiting resistance to drought, pests, diseases and poor soil conditions. For example, the Mayan spinach (玛雅菠菜) contains exceptional levels of protein, vitamin C and iron, and provides leaves year-round with little water and in poor soil conditions. Traditional crops like this could be strategic in helping more people meet the recommended levels of fruit and vegetable consumption, which is currently n global health concern.
Lack of information on traditional vegetables is a major barrier to their use and promotion because it prevents a wider recognition of their values and understanding of how best to grow, process and market them. Organizations around the world are placing increasing efforts on promoting these so called “forgotten foods”, because of their value and potential in bringing nutrition and income benefits to consumers and producers, as well as in strengthening local food traditions. This could be the beginning of a great transformation towards more diverse, vegetable-rich food systems around the world.
【1】Why are world diets becoming more similar?
A.People prefer vegetables rich in nutrition.
B.Fewer kinds of vegetables are planted worldwide.
C.7% of vegetable crops lost their chances to survive.
D.A limited variety of vegetables are available to people.
【2】What does the underlined word “cultivated” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Sold.
B.Planted.
C.Displayed.
D.Promoted.
【3】What can be learned from the example of the Mayan spinach?
A.Climate change is a great threat to humans.
B.Soil degradation affects vegetable diversity.
C.Commercial vegetables are highly profitable.
D.Many traditional vegetables have great values to us.
【4】What is the author’s attitude towards the future of traditional vegetables?
A.Hopeful.
B.Doubtful.
C.Indifferent.
D.Pessimistic.
23、Productive people have one thing in common: a solid routine consisting of small habits that help them to keep a healthy mindset and lifestyle. 【1】. Research has shown that a habit takes approximately 21 days to become normal behavior. So here are some habits you can start to practice to become a productive person.
Establish a morning routine
The most effective way of staying productive is to wake up at the same time every day, even on the weekends.【2】. By performing small, routine tasks like opening your windows as soon as you wake up, your body and mind will know that it’s time to begin your day’s work. You should also take a couple of minutes to stretch before getting ready, and then make your bed. These may seem like unimportant tasks, but they set the tone for remaining productive throughout the day.
Make daily to-do lists
【3】. Some people prefer to make their to-do lists first thing in the morning, while others like to do them each night to prepare for the day ahead. Either way, it will help you to keep on track and to manage your time and workload efficiently.
【4】
Writing down and organizing your thoughts can help you to track and achieve goals. You should even write down your accomplishments in your diary, no matter how small, to help motivate you to keep going. You can also track the progress of your bigger goals and make notes of the smaller tasks you can accomplish to achieve them.【5】.
A.Keep a journal
B.Having enough sleeping is important
C.Motivate someone else to make notes
D.This helps your body maintain its biorhythm
E.Making a list of priorities for the day helps you to stay on track
F.For many of them, it doesn’t take long to integrate into their routine
G.The process of recording will help you to reflect and boost brain function
