We need more food.One way to produce more food is by 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 material(遗传物质). Foods from plants grown in this way are called genetically modified foods(转基因食品), or GM foods. By changing the genetic material of a plant, it is possible to make new plants. They make plants which are strong against plant diseases. They can also help in our diseases: a kind of rice is being prepared, for example, which stops people from 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 very interested in their use, and they are not going to go away. In 2050 we may think differently about them.16 . GM foods _.Aare a quick way to produce foodBgrow in the wildCare safeDare grown only in rich countries17 . Why do some people not like GM foods?AThey are not useful.BThey are not helpful.CThey are not natural.DThey are not cheap.18 . From the reading we know that _.AGM foods will disappear one day in the futureBGM foods will not disappear in the futureCpeople will not be interested in GM foodsDpeople will have to stop using GM foodsChina is a nation with a rich culture in handwriting. “Even though the computer is widely used today, Chinese people should not forget the skill of writing with hands,” said a Chinese government official（官员）.Nowadays, the computer has become a very useful tool to help people to write. As people use computers more often than before, many people have forgotten how to write Chinese characters （字）. People often make a lot of mistakes in writing.At present, China is trying to help pupils and teachers to improve their writing with the help of information technology. With the technology, it is hoped that teachers can write their teaching contents （内容） on the blackboard and students canrespondby writing, too.The Chinese character test shows that nowadays, many college students handwriting has become worse. Many college students do not know how to compose （组成） words or sentences in Chinese character in the right way. Not only kids, many adults also have met the same problem. They might be able to tell the general form of a certain character. However, if you ask them to spell out the character in detail （详细地）, they cant. On the other hand, they can easily type out the character on a computer.In the national language teaching course, we can solve this problem with the use of certain technologies.
