It has been estimated that some 30,000 different diseases attack our economic plants; forty are known to attack corn, and about as many attack wheat. The results of unchecked plant diseases are all to obvious in countries which have marginal food supplies. The problem will soon be more widespread as the population of the world increases at its frightening rate. Even in countries which are now amply fed by their agricultural products there could soon be critical food shortages. It is easy to imagine the consequences of some disastrous attack on one of the major crops; the resulting famines could kill millions of people, and the resulting hardship on other millions could cause political unrest disastrous to the order of the world.2 Some plants have relative immunity to a great many diseases, while others have a suceptibility(易感性) to them. The tolerance of a particular plant changes as the growing conditions change. A blight(枯萎病) may be but a local infection easily controlled; on the other hand it can attack particular plants in a whole region or nation. An example is the blight which killed virtually every chestnut tree in North America. Another is the famous potato blight in Ireland in the last century. As a result of that, it was estimated that one million people died of starvation and related diseases.3 Plant scientists have made remarkable strides in identifying the pathogens(病原菌) of various diseases. Bacteria may invade a plant through an infestation(大批出没)of insect parasites carrying the pathogen. Other diseases might be caused by fungus(真菌)which attacks the plant in the form of rust.4 Frequently such a primary infection will weaken the plant so that a secondary infection may result from its lack of tolerance. The symptoms shown may cause an error in diagnosis, so that treatment may be directed toward bacteria which could be the result of a susceptibility caused by a primary virus infection.

Mrs. O’Neill asked (41) questions, and she didn’t (42) us either. She wrote on the blackboard the (43) words by Thomas Macaulay. She then ordered us to (44) these words into our exercise-books one hundred times. I don’t (45) about the other eleven boys. Speaking for myself I can say: it was the most important single (46) of my life. Thirty years after being introduced to Macaulay’s words, they (47) seem to me the best yard-stick(准绳), because they give us a (48) to measure ourselves rather than others. (49) of us are asked to make (50) decisions about nations going to war or armies going to battle. But all of us are called (51) daily to make a great many personal decisions.

阅读下面这篇短文,短文后列出7个句子,请根据短文的内容对每个句子做出判断。 Kitchen Design Over the years economic, social and technological factors have influenced the design of kitchens. Since it is often used simultaneously by both family members as well as guests, the kitchen requires not only a glamorous look but a practical one. Also, the design elements must meet the needs of the modern family. Environmental concerns have had an enormous impact on kitchen design. This concern includes recycling of household materials, as well as energy efficient appliances and the purity of both water and air. Research shows that up to 85 percent of the population is concerned about what might be in their drinking water. They are also often dissatisfied with the taste and odor of what comes out of their tap. This is why it’s important to consider adding a water filter system. The character of today’s kitchen is very different from the way it was thirty years ago. There’s more sophistication in food preparation, and more technological help with cooking and clean up. When choosing cabinets, first consider the style. Use the architectural style of your house as a guide. Because cabinets are a big investment, it is best to choose quality. Popular styles in kitchen cabinets are framed panel doors with raised or recessed panels of wood, cabinet fronts with glass panes, or simple slab doors in a rich painted or laminated finish. Cabinet pulls, handles and knobs are offered in a myriad of designs and finishes. Treat hardware as jewelry and don’t be afraid to mix and match styles. Because many of today’s kitchens consist of two or more cooks sharing in the meal preparation, there is a need for more counter space, cooktops and sinks. Altough lifestyles are changing, the primary function of the kitchen as an area for preparing food has remained unchanged. The sink 10 remains one of the most used areas in the kitchen as well as an important decorative statement. Appliance technology is moving at a very fast pace. Choosing what type of appliances as well as how many will depend on several factors such as how often and how much you cook and the size of you kitchen. Don’t limit yourself to one of each kind of appliance. You can have a refrigerator in one place and a freezer in a separate area or two sets of cooktops, one on the counter next to the wall oven and one on an island. You can even have two sets of cooktops, one on the counter next to the wall oven and one on an island. You can even have two dishwashers if size and budget requirs and permit-think of it as saving time in the long run. More counter space, cooktops and sinks are needed in today’s kitchens because food preparation is more complicated than it used to be.
