A global group of scientists have reduced the time it takes to find and introduce disease resistance genes from wild plants into domestic (国内的)crops such as rice, wheat and potato, a research revealed on Tuesday.
Scientists from the John Innes Center in Britain, along with colleagues from Australia and the United States, have created a database known as AgRenSeq, where researchers can easily search for resistance genes already discovered in wild relatives of modem crops.
The study was co-authored by a global expert Professor HarbansBariana from the University of Sydney, who said that this technology will support the discovery and characterization of new sources of disease resistance in plants. Once researchers have identified resistance genes using AgRenSeq, they can clone them and introduce them to domestic crops to protect against diseases and pests.

\(干草堆),” Wulff said. “We have perfected the method so that we can clone these genes in a matter of months and for just thousands of dollars instead of millions.\
The team are highly optimistic about their work, predicting it to be utilized in protecting many crops with wild relatives including soybeans, pea, cotton potato, wheat, rice, banana and cocoa. \speed cloning and speed breeding we could deliver resistance genes into the best varieties within a couple of years, like a phoenix(凤凰)rising from the ashes,\32. How have the researchers developed the resistance genes?
A. By reducing the research time. B. By introducing them to wild plants. C. By cloning them from domestic crops. D. By getting resistance genes from wild plants. 33. What will be the use of the study in the future?
A. It will protect crops from being damaged by pests. B. It will create a database for researchers to search.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 Vitamin D is necessary for bone-building, immune (免疫)function, blood sugar control , positive mood and more. 36 The lower your vitamin D level is, the higher your risk of death from any cause will be. However, it's not a great idea to just take a supplement (补品)off the drugstore shelf and start taking it.
Since many of us have an inadequate amount vitamin D, also known as the sunshine vitamin\will often give us high levels of D supplements, with closes ranging from 2, 000 to 10,000 I(International Units) per day, up to 50,000 IU per week and sometimes even more. 37 Very big doses (剂量)of vitamin D can cause a build-up of calcium (钙) in the blood, which leads to poor appetite, weakness, weight loss or other diseases. Here's the bigger issue; 38 A build-up of stored vitamin D can cause avoidable problems, leading to problems such as kidney (肾)stones.
39 The National Institutes of Health set the Recommended Dietary Allowance for vitamin D at 600 IU daily for babies, children, and adults up to 70 years old. Adults aged 71 and older need 800 IU, since the ability to absorb vitamin D drops with age. Because the fat cells take vitamin D up, making it less available for use by the body, 40
Though you'll get a bit of vitamin D from foods — including fatty fish, beef liver, cheese, milk and so on — the amounts are so small that there's little need to worry that they'll put you , over the daily dose.
A. It can help prevent many diseases. B. We can actually reduce the risk of death. C. people who are fat may also need more vitamin D. D. any extra intake of vitamin D can get stored in the body. E. But like all good things, it's possible to get too much of it. F. The average daily recommended amounts vary based on your age. G. Vitamin D should be supplemented carefully despite its importance. 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节,满分45分)

My uncle set up a small business in our city four years ago. He is known as using iron from old cars to make beautifully art pieces. Last summer vacation, I visit him and he showed to me many of his works. Some are larger pieces looked like animals and humans, and others are smaller pieces you can put at home. He often encourages me to be creative like himself. The art tells people the important of environmental protection.
