Passage Two Supporters of the biotech industry have accused an American scientist of misconduct after she testified to the New Zealand government that a genetically modified(GM) bacterium could cause serious damage if released. The New Zealand Life Sciences Network, an association of pro-GM scientists and organizations, says the view expressed by Elaine Ingham, a soil biologist at Oregon State University in Corvallis, was exaggerated and irresponsible. It has asked her university to discipline her. But Ingham stands by her comments and says the complaints are an attempt to silence her. "They’re trying to cause trouble with my university and get me fired," Ingham told New Scientist. The controversy began on 1 February, when Ingham testified before New Zealand’s Royal Commission on Genetic Modification, which will determine how to regulate GM organisms. Ingham claimed that a GM version of a common soil bacterium could spread and destroy plants if released into the wild. Other researchers had previously modified the bacterium to produce alcohol from organic waste. But Ingham says that when she put it in soil with wheat plants, all of the plants died within a week.. "We would lose terrestrial(陆生的)plants... this is an organism that is potentially deadly to the continued survival of human beings," she told the commission. She added that the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) canceled its approval for field tests using the organism once she had told them about her research in 1999. But last week the New Zealand Life Sciences Network accused Ingham of "presenting inaccurate, careless and exaggerated information" and "generating speculative doomsday scenarios (世界末日的局面)that are not scientifically supportable". They say that her study doesn’t even show that the bacteria would survive in the wild, much less kill massive numbers of plants. What’s more, the network says that contrary to Ingham’s claims, the EPA. was never asked to consider the organism for field trials. The EPA has not commented on the dispute. But an e-mail to the network from Janet Anderson, director of the EPA’s bio pesticides (生物杀虫剂)division, says "there is no record of a review and/or clearance to field test". Ingham says EPA officials had told her that the organism was approved for field tests, but says she has few details. It’s also not clear whether the organism, first engineered by a German institute for biotechnology, is still in use. Whether Ingham is right or wrong, her supporters say opponents are trying unfairly to silence her. "I think her concerns should be taken seriously. She shouldn’t be harassed in this way," says Ann Clarke, a plant biologist at the University of Guelph in Canada who also testified before the commission. "It’s an attempt to silence the opposition." According to Janet Anderson, the EPA ______.

A. has canceled its approval for field tests of the GM organism
B. hasn’t reviewed the timings of Ingham’s research
C. has approved field tests using the GM organism
D. hasn’t given permission to field test the GM organism

[文档开始] 燥声的危害燥声是任何一种人都不需要的声音，不论是音乐，还是机器发出来的声音，只要令人生厌，对人们形成干扰，它们就被称为燥声。一般将60分贝作为令人烦恼的音量界限，超过60分贝就会对人体产生种种危害。强烈的燥声会引起听觉器官的损伤。当你刚从机器轰鸣的厂房出来时，可能会感到耳朵听不清声音了，必须过一会儿才能恢复正常，这便是燥声性耳聋。如果长期在这种环境下工作，会使听力显著下降。燥声会严重干扰中枢神经正常功能，使人神经衰弱、消化不良，以至恶心、呕吐、头痛，它是现代文明病的一大根源。燥声还会影响人们的正常工作和生活，使人不易入睡，容易惊醒，产生各种不愉快的感觉，对脑力劳动者和病人的影响就更大了。 [文档结束] 在考生文件夹下，打开文档WDA3_01.DOC，插入文档WTA3_01.DOC，将文中所有错词“燥声”替换为“噪声”。存储为文档WDA3_01.DOC。
