However, British scientists say that the fruit may disappear by 2050.One reason for this is climate(气候) change. Scientists at the University of Exeter collected data(数据) from 27 countries and regions that produce 86 percent of the worlds bananas. They found that climate change has improved growing conditions in 21 of these countries. In the past 60 years, the average yield(平均产量) has reached 1.37 tons of bananas per hectare(公顷).However, if temperatures keep rising, this advantage will disappear. Ten of the countries, including India, the worlds biggest producer of bananas, will produce fewer bananas. By 2050, the fruit may die out.Shouldnt bananas grow more easily if its hotter outside? In fact, the perfect temperature range for growing bananas is between 24 and 32 C. If temperatures get too high, they will stop growing.Diseases are another danger to bananas. Unlike other crops, the bananas we grow come from shoot cuttings(茎段) rather than seeds. This means that all banana plants have the same genotype(基因型). In other words, if a disease is able to kill one plant, it could kill them all.One serious disease is called Panama. Caused by fungus(真菌) in the soil, it spreads easily. It has spread across South Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Australia. If one banana plantation(种植园) suffers from the disease, it will take 30 years until it is able to grow bananas again. Scientists have yet to find a cure for this disease.（1）What does the underlined word this in Paragraph 2 refer to? A . Peoples love for bananas.B . The taste of bananas.C .

Unluckily, in many parts of the world, man has not found that the third of these points is the most important. Man wants to make money from trees, so he has cut them down in large numbers, only to find that without them he has lost the best friends he had. And also, he is usually too careless to plant and look after new trees. So the forests slowly disappear. This does not only mean that man will have fewer trees. The results are even worse: for where there are trees, their roots break up soil make the rain inand also bind the soil, thus stopping it from being washed away easily; but where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away, causing floods and carrying away the rich top-oil. When all the top soil is gone, nothing is left but useless desert. （1）The most important points of trees to man is .

With driverless cars, the number of deaths caused by accidents will decrease. Secondly, driverless cars are more efficient(效率高的) than manned cars. Thirdly, driverless cars follow the traffic rules. Therefore traffic control will be easier to achieve. At last, the cost of transportation will be reduced as the labor cost becomes less.There are many different technologies needed to make a successful self driving car.

Specifically, the study found that men who ate alone more than twice a week had a greater risk of developing high blood pressure and other diseases.For children, eating with their families is not only about preventing bad resultsit is also about developing good ones.In 2014, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) looked at data from nearly three-quarters of the worlds countries. Among its findings was the fact that students who shared a main meal with families were less likely to skip school(逃学). Children who eat a main meal with their families are also less likely to use drugs and alcohol(吸毒酗酒).In the report, named The Importance of Family Dinners, researchers say that teens who have frequent family dinners are more likely to say their parents know a lot about whats going on in their lives. They also say that when teens say they feel closer to their parents, they are less likely to use drugs and alcohol.Another study from the University of Montreal found that children who ate with their families experience long-term physical and mental health benefits(好处). These children were physically in better shape and drank fewer sugary soft drinks. These children also seemed to have better social skills and they were less aggressive(好斗的).Professor Linda Pagani says that mealtimes shared with parents likely provide young children with first-hand social communication, discussions of social events and day-to-day matters. She adds that they may likely help the child have better communication skills with others.（1）What can be the best title for the text? A . Benefits of eating togetherB . Advantages of eating aloneC .
