In Britain, winter is the season not only for visits to the theatre, opera, concert and ballet, but also for shopping or for sightseeing.London, one of the (26) cities in the world, has plenty to offer during the winter months, (27) in the way of entertainment—and the (28) act like a magnet with (29) array of presents for the Christmas (30) followed by large scale bargains in the January (31) . But it’s not only London that (32) value shopping, most of our suburban and (33) centres have just as much to offer to the (34) shopper.Even if you’re based (35) London, you don’t have to spend all your (36) there—and that goes for all the year (37) , too. Take a train or coach and (38) what else Britain has to offer; (39) are many excursions, even in winter, and among the great country houses (40) keep their stately front doors open (41) the year are Longleat and WoburnAbbey. (42) a car and drive (43) into the beauty of the winter landscape, the scenery will be (44) beautiful and the people will have more time to chat to you (45) this time of the year. 32()

阅读下面的文字,完成下列问题。如果有人对你说:“你已经吃过转基因食品了。”(1)你可能不相信。(2)但事实上,我们吃的豆油很多是由美国的转基因大豆提炼的,(3)我们平时喝的啤酒所用的菌种(酵母)也很有可能经过基因改良。(4)所以,不知不觉之中,转基因食品已经在我们体内穿肠而过了。其实如今人类享有的任何一种生物:或多或少都已经经过“基因修整”。但是,过去的千百年来,人们是通过自然基因突变来选择具有某种特定基因、特定性状的生物体,而现在的转基因技术则是通过分子生物学手段直接改变基因结构。利用这种技术开发出来的食品,产量高、营养丰富、抗菌能力强。但是,这种技术创造出来的新型遗传基因有可能对生态环境造成难以消除的所谓遗传基因污染,最终祸害人类自身。一般在市面上出售的转基因食品对人的健康并没有威胁,因为大部分此类食品只是改变了食品的营养结构,例如提高蛋白质含量。真正从人类的利益出发开发的转基因食品对我们是有益的。当然,这只是就短期而言。如果以一百万年为思考范围,人会不会因为吃了营养结构改变的食品而引起生理结构的改变这样的改变对人类又有怎样的意义以“蝴蝶效应”为类比:纽约一只蝴蝶颤动翅膀,就有可能引起大洋彼岸的一场大风暴。恐龙的灭绝也有可能仅仅是因为它的主要食品中一条基因的改变。“应该在转基因食品上贴标签,不仅仅出于安全的考虑。”专家说,“如果消费者吃了转基因食品,至少应该让他知情。消费者有选择的权利。”转基因食品的优势在于产量高、营养丰富,对于面临资源危机的人类,尤其是人口众多、土地资源相对贫乏的中国来说,无疑是一个好消息。而且用常规技术提高粮食产量、改变食品营养结构的可能性远远不及生物技术。可以说21世纪唯一有可能解决粮食问题的就是生物技术。但是如果从整个人类的发展来看,转基因食品未必是我们的福祉。整个生物界都是优胜劣汰进化而来,转基因食品利用的技术却不一定符合进化论原则,也许会破坏几十亿年以来的生态乎衡。从进化论角度看,生态平衡中起于青萍之末的微风有可能在进化的尺度上放大成足以毁灭物种的大风暴。20世纪以来除了核技术之外,转基因是最有争议的科学技术之一。它是人类埋下的自我毁灭的定时百万年的炸弹抑或在不久的将来,我们在海滩享受日光浴的同时体内就自动生成了营养素希望是后者。相信随着人类对基因认识的不断深入,现存的问题会逐步解决。 对“转基因”、“基因修整”、“遗传基因污染”的理解,不正确的一项是()。
A. “转基因”指通过分子生物学手段直接改变基因结构。
B. “基因修整”指通过自然基因突变来选择具有某种特定基因、特定性状的生物体。
C. “遗传基因污染”指通过分子生物学手段直接改变基因结构对生态环境所造成的有害影响。
D. “转基因”是“基因修整”的一种方法,这种方法有可能造成“遗传基因污染”。

M: Now, Miss Christina, I see that you are quite a heavy smoker. You told me you smoke about thirty a day. Well, my advice is quite simple: stop smoking. You know that cigarettes cause cancer and heart disease. Have you tried to give upW: Yes, lots of times. But I just find it impossible to stop.M: Well, in that case, let me suggest five things which you can do. First of all, if you smoke strong cigarettes, you should change to milder ones. But that won’t help you if you smoke more. So, secondly, don’t smoke as many cigarettes. Try to cut down by one or two every day. OK The next three points are to do with how you smoke. The most important is this: don’t breathe the smoke in. It’s when you breathe in the smoke that you do most damage to your health. Next, don’t keep the cigarette in your mouth all the time. Pat it in an ashtray when you are not smoking it. And finally, don’t smoke all the cigarette. The end of a cigarette is very dangerous to your health. So put the cigarette out after you have smoke half of it. All right How many times has Christina tried to give up smoking()
A. Thirty times.
B. Five times.
C. Lots of times.
D. Twice.
