阅读下面的短文，文中有15处空白，每处空白给出4个选项，请根据短文的内容从4个选项中选择1个最佳答案。 The American Family In the American family the husband and wife usually share important decision making. When the children are (51) enough, they take part as well. Foreigners are often surprised by the permissiveness(宽容) of American parents. The old rule that "children should be seen and not heard" is rarely (52) , and children are often allowed to do (53) they wish without strict control of their parents. The father seldom expects his children to listen to him (54) question, and children are encouraged to be (55) at an early age. Some people believe that American parents carry this freedom (56) far. Others think that a strong father image would not (57) the American values of equality and independence. Because Americans emphasize the importance of independence, young people are expected to (58) their parental families by the time they have (59) their late teens or early twenties. Indeed, not to do so is often regarded as a (60) , a kind of weak dependence. This pattern of independence often results in serious (61) for the aging parents of a small family. The average American is expected to live (62) the age of 70. The job-retirement age is (63) 65. The children have left home, married, and (64) their own households. At least 20 percent of all people over 65 do not have enough retirement incomes. (65) the major problem of many elderly couples is not economic. They feel useless and lonely with neither an occupation nor a close family group.

第三篇"Salty" Rice Plant Boosts Harvests British scientists are breeding a new generation of rice plants that will be able to grow in soil containing salt water. Their work may enable abandoned farms to become productive once more. Tim Flowers and Tony Yeo, from Sussex University’s School of Biological Sciences, have spent several years researching how crops, such as rice, could be made to grow in water that has become salty. The pair has recently begun a three-year programme, funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council, to establish which genes enable some plants to survive salty conditions. The aim is to breed this capability into crops, starting with rice. It is estimated that each year more than 10m hectares (公顷) of agricultural land are lost because salt gets into the soil and stunts (妨碍生长) plants. The problem is caused by several factors. In the tropics, mangroves (红树林) that create swamps (沼泽) and traditionally formed barriers to sea water have been cut down. In the Mediterranean, a series of droughts have caused the water table to drop, allowing sea water to seep (渗透) in. In Latin America, irrigation often causes problems when water is evaporated (蒸发) by the heat, leaving salt deposits behind. Excess salt then enters the plants and prevents them functioning normally. Heavy concentrations of minerals in the plants stop them drawing up the water they need to survive. To overcome these problems, Flowers and Yeo decided to breed rice plants that take in very little slat and store what they do absorb in cells that do not affect the plants’ growth. They have started to breed these characteristics into a new rice crop, but it will take about eight harvests before the resulting seeds are ready to be considered for commercial use. Once the characteristics for surviving salty soil are known, Flowers and Yeo will try to breed the appropriate genes into all manners of crops and plants. Land that has been abandoned to nature will then be able to bloom again, providing much needed food in the poorer countries of the world. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a cause of the problem discussed in the passage
王某在甲研究所长期从事饮水处理技术及其设备的研制工作。2000年7月，王某利用研究所有关图纸、资料，独自设计了一种饮水净化机。2001年10月，王某辞职到乙矿泉设备厂工作，同年11月乙矿泉设备厂利用王某带来的技术试制成功该饮水设备，并少量投入生产。2002年6月，甲研究所就“矿泉水制造方法及其装置”向专利局申请专利，专利局认定专利申请人是甲研究所，对此，王某和乙厂提出异议。 甲研究所获得专利后，乙厂( )。

阅读下面短文，回答下列五道题。加拿大某公司建造了一座示范厂，用酒精而不是用硫磺造纸浆。该公司董事长佩蒂说：“这是未来之路。用酒精制造纸浆意味着出现一种清洁、无污染的技术。”如果在小规模工业里取得成功的这项技术也能在正式规模的工厂里生产出较便宜的纸浆，它将对纸价产生影响，这项技术还能消除造纸工业常有的臭鸡蛋味______硫化氢的气味。该公司使用的这种工艺叫ALCELL(即酒精ALCOHOL和纤维素CELLULOSE的合成词)，它使用酒精和水代替硫磺把木材分解成纸浆。这种工艺是加拿大在1972年发明的，以前从来没有实现商品化，但是这家公司希望它能使造纸工业发生彻底变革。佩蒂说：“建造一座新的纸浆厂要耗资10亿美元，而且它要求木材供应源源不断。如有 ALCELL工艺，只要耗资3.5亿美元就能建造一个工厂，并使工厂不停地运转，所需木材供应量较小。”他又说：“那意味着一个工厂一天生产350吨而不是1 000吨纸浆。”林业产品分析家邓肯森说：“从环境方面来说，它比较清洁，而且小型厂这个概念将会使建造新纸浆厂变得较容易。”这种工艺取得成功，它将能以较低的成本生产纸浆。 第四段中，佩蒂说“一天生产350吨而不是1000吨纸浆”，他要说明的是（）。
