Scientists were embroiled (使卷入) last week in an international row over genetically modiScientists were embroiled (使卷入) last week in an international row over genetically modified cotton (GM cotton).A study in China suggested for the first time that the crop was permanently damaging the environment and that insects were building up resistance to it.The study, by the Nanjing institute of Environmental Science, combined the laboratory and field work from four Chinese scientific institutes. The study was done over a several - year period.GM Cotton had a gene resistance to the cotton bollworm (棉铃虫) and isolated from the bacterium (细菌) named Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), but the study found that it harms the natural parasitic (寄生的) enemies of the cotton bollworm.It also indicated that populations of pests besides the bollworm had increased in Bt cotton fields and some had replaced the bollworm as the primary pest.However, the leading GM company, the USs Monsanto, which controls more than 80 per cent of the Bt cotton grown worldwide, dismissed the research.It said that the industry has always cited GM cotton as its biggest success, because it can increase yields by up to 60 per cent and reduce the need for pesticides (杀虫剂) by 80 per cent.But, unfortunately for the industry, (80) the scientists also found that the resistance of Bt cotton to bollworm decreased significantly over time.Why scientists say no to GM cotton?ABecause the cotton was genetically modified.BBecause the cotton was found to damage the environment.CBecause the cotton harms the bollworm.DBecause Monsanto dismissed the research.正确答案：B解析：第二段中谈到，中国科学家发现Bt棉花会永久性地伤害环境，并会使昆虫累积抗性，因此在国际间就引发了一场争论。可见，只有B是正确的。22.

The Greek philosopher Aristotle said that a persons highest happiness comes from the use oThe Greek philosopher Aristotle said that a persons highest happiness comes from the use of his or her intelligence. Religious books such as the Koran and Bible discuss faith as a form. of happiness. The British scientist Charles Darwin believed that all species were formed in a way so as to enjoy happiness. And, the United States declaration of independence guarantees life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as a basic human right. People throughout history may have had different ideas about happiness. But today, many people are still not very sure about it. Some findings are not surprising. For example, the database suggests that married people are happier than single people. People who like to be with other people are happier than unsocial people. People with children are equally happy as couples without children. And wealthier people are only a little happier than poorer people. This database also shows that studying happiness no longer involves just theories and ideas. Economists, psychiatrists, doctors and social scientists are finding ways of understanding happiness by examining real sets of information. Happiness is an extremely popular subject, if you search for happiness on the web site of the online bookseller, Amazon. com, you will find more than two hundred thousand results. Dan Gilbert teaches psychology at Harvard University in Massachusetts. He recently looks at the way the human mind is different from other animals because we can think about the future and use our imaginations. He also explains how our minds can trick us in a way that creates difficulties in making happy choices for the future. Most of the time when people are wrong about how theyll feel about the future, theyre wrong in the direction of thinking that things will matter to them more than they really do. We are remarkable at our ability to adjust and a-dapt to almost any situation but we seem not to know this about ourselves. And so we mistakenly predict that good things will make us happy, really happy for a really long time. Bad things, why theyll just slay us. It turns out neither of these things is on the whole true. The first paragraph in the passage is mainly talking about_.Athe importance of happinessBthe cause of happinessCthe meaning of happinessDpeople who are happy正确答案：C文章的第一段主要讨论了对幸福概念的不同理解，即幸福的意义，故选C。43.
