Chclate culd sn be a thing f the past after scientists' warning that the caca (可可) plant, frm which chclate is made, culd be extinct within 32 years.
Over half f the wrld's chclate cmes frm just tw cuntries in West Africa — Côte d'Ivire and Ghana — where the temperature, rain, and humidity (湿度) prvide the perfect cnditins fr caca t grw. But rising temperatures ver the next three decades caused by climate change are expected t result in a lss f water frm the grund, which scientists say culd upset this balance.
Accrding t the related data, a temperature rise f just 2.1℃ culd put an end t the chclate industry wrldwide by 2050. Farmers in the regin are already cnsidering mving caca prductin areas thusands f feet uphill int muntainus areas — many f which are currently preserved fr wildlife. But this mve culd destry the ecsystems that are already under threat frm illegal farming and defrestatin.
One f the prblems, accrding t Dug Hawkins, is that caca farming methds have nt changed fr hundreds f years. "Unlike ther tree crps that have benefited frm the develpment f mdern, high yielding strains and crp management techniques t realize their genetic ptential, mre than 90% f the glbal caca crp is prduced by small farms with unimprved planting materials," he said. "It means that we culd be facing a chclate decrease f 100,000 tns a year in the next few years."
Nw scientists at the University f Califrnia, Berkeley have cperated with American candy cmpany Mars t keep chclate n the menu. Using the cntrversial gene-editing technlgy knwn as CRISPR they are trying t develp a type f caca plant capable f surviving in dryer, warmer climates. If the team's wrk n the caca plant is successful, it culd remve the need fr farmers in West Africa t relcate t higher grund, and perhaps even allw caca t be grwn elsewhere in the wrld.
8. What d we knw abut chclate frm the text? A . Chclate will disappear frm the menu 30 years later. B . Chclate is mainly prduced by African cuntries. C . Chclate will nt be prduced by 2050 because f climate change. D . A new type f chclate will be prduced with the help f CRISPR.
9. What is the reasn fr the prbable extinctin f the caca plant? A . The damaged ecsystems. B . Water shrtage caused by climate change. C . The threat frm illegal farming and defrestatin. D . The changeable farming methd.
10. What is the writer's attitude t the applicatin f CRISPR t develp a new type f caca plant? A . Objective. B . Uncncerned. C . Supprtive. D . Negative.
11. Where des the passage prbably cme frm? A . A pster. B . A leaflet. C . An advertisement. D . A magazine.
阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A new reprt cnnects eating eggs t an increased risk f heart disease. The results fllw several earlier studies that fund eating eggs was generally healthy. The study cllects data frm six ther earlier studies. It shws a 6 percent increased risk f heart disease when the number f eggs a persn ate each day increased by half an egg.
Nrrina Allen, an assciate prfessr at Nrthwestern University said that, in the United States, eggs are generally ne f the tp surces f chlesterl(胆固醇)in a persn's daily fd. Peple with higher levels f chlesterl in their fd are at increased risk f the develpment f heart disease later in life. Hwever, Allen added that she wuld nt say that eggs are cmpletely unhealthy. "I'm nt saying that peple shuld take them cmpletely ut f their fd," she said. "I'm just suggesting that peple eat them in a prper amunt."
Sme experts believe the new study des nt prve that eggs are causing heart disease. "Chlesterl's rle in the develpment f heart disease has been discussed fr mre than 30 years," said Bruemmer, an assciate prfessr f medicine at the University f Pittsburgh Medical Center. "This study des have clear shrtcmings, including self-reprting at a single time pint," he added.
Bruemmer said, "Eggs in mderatin are prbably acceptable frm a nutritinal standpint." "Mderatin," he added, "is less than ne egg a day, including eggs in fds such as bread".
Hlly Andersen, a dctr at the NewYrk-Presbyterian/Weill Crnell Medical Center, agrees that the study has "real shrtcmings". One prblem Andersen has with the study is that a lt f the egg-eating peple in the study als appeared t be eating much meat and prcessed meat. "If yu're taking a lt f prcessed meat, it desn't matter hw many eggs yu're eating," Andersen said.
Als, Andersen said, "The study can nly shw there is a relatin between eggs eating and heart disease. But it cannt prve eggs are the cause f the disease. It may just be that peple eating a lt f eggs are als taking a lt f bacn."
12. What des Nrrina Allen agree with? A . Eggs are cmpletely unhealthy. B . Eggs cntain the mst chlesterl. C . Eggs shuld be eaten in a right amunt. D . Eggs have n cnnectin with heart disease.
13. What is Bruemmer's attitude twards the study? A . Interested. B . Dubtful. C . Cncerned. D . Hpeful.
14. What can we learn frm Hlly Andersen's wrds? A . Eggs and meat cannt be eaten tgether. B . Prcessed meat may cause heart disease. C . Prcessed meat shuld be avided. D . The study is supprted by evidence.
15. What's the best title f the text? A . D eggs cause heart disease? B . Are eggs the tp surce f chlesterl? C . What's the prper amunt f eggs eaten? D . Is the chlesterl t blame fr heart disease?

The Gift f Kindness
Will, a nine-year-ld by, was such a kind sul that he brught hme birds with brken wings. Mney was very shrt fr his family because his mther was ill. Every weekend, Will wuld mw his neighbrs lawns t earn a little mney.
One ht dry mrning, n his way t schl, Will saw a man sitting n the radside with his head in his hands. Nt far away was his truck. Previusly, the man spared n effrts in repairing it, but he failed, exhausted and thirsty. Will came up t him, ready t help.
Hearing Will's greeting, the man raised his head, lked at Will and asked fr sme water. Learning that he had even nt had breakfast, Will walked int a shp, fingering the mney in his pcket. Eventually, he picked up sandwiches and water. They cst all his mney! He shrugged, walked back and handed him the fd.
The man received the supplies gratefully and they shared the brief meal while intrducing themselves. Allan, a bss with a small factry wh delivered gds by himself, smiled, "The delivering jb is s tiring that nbdy seems t want it. By the way, thank yu fr yur fd. I'm srry that I frget t take mney with me tday. I'll..."
"It's OK. My mm always says we shuld be kind t the wrld, and the wrld will be kind t yu!" Will shrugged, "As fr the jb, dn't wrry. There must be smene wanting t take it."
"Perhaps. Tday, I feel kindness in the wrld like yur mm says. Maybe she is the ne the wrld has been kind t." Allan cmmented.
Will lwered his head, explaining quietly his mther's situatin and his father's just being ut f wrk because f the bankrupt f the cmpany. Will pinted at a huse. "My dad says we'll have t sell it t pay fr mm's treatment. Smetimes, I hpe the wrld culd be kind t ur family sn." Tears rlled dwn Will's cheeks and Allan patted his back gently. But sn, Will wiped his face, shuldered his schlbag, waved gdbye t Allan and rushed fr schl, never imagining he wuld see Allan ever again.
Allan stared at Will's fading figure, lst in thught.
