Passage 1:
THE government approved (批准) the production of two types of Genetically modified (GM, 转基因的) rice and one type of GM corn in China in November. People have been arguing about it①________ then.
Our country import GM soybeans (大豆) from America. And we have GM papaya (木瓜) on the market. But it was the first time the government approved the production of GM grains (谷物).
Although Chinese scientists have said that they are as safe as non-GM rice, some experts and people are still worried. ②They worry that if we eat too much GM food, we will get sick.
But will GM food do harm to our bodies? To answer that question, first let’s find out what GM food is.
Genetically modified food is food with genes that have been changed. Here’s an example.
③There’s a kind of fish that lives in the Antarctic (南极). It can stand very cold weather because it has a special cold gene in its body. Scientists took that gene and put it into a kind of tomato. ④As a result, the tomato will be able to live in cold weather. It is a GM food.
Scientists develop GM food because they can have certain advantages over non-GM food. For example, the approved GM rice can resist pests (害虫). They can also produce more food.

The safety of GM food is a long-time public concern. Different experts and scientists have different ⑤_________.
Some say that there is no evidence that GM food ⑥is harmful to people’s health. GM food has to pass strict tests before it ⑦_______to go into markets.
But others say th ere is danger. We just don’t know enough about it yet.

（英语）九年级上册英语阅读理解的基本方法技巧及练习题及练习 题(含答案) 一、阅读理解 1．阅读理解 "Without music, life would be a mistake, "famous German philosopher（哲学家）Friedrich Nietzsche said over a century ago. Music is a big part of our lives. But in recent years, some American schools have cut music classes to control budgets（预算）. For example, Chicago public schools hurt arts education when it fired over 1, 000 teachers. Among them, 10 percent of the teachers taught art or music, according to The Washington Times. In fact, this is not just a problem in the US. In other countries, such as China and the UK, music classes are not thought to be as important as ones like science, math and history. That's partly because music is not seen as a very important life skill, and it isn't tested. Many students are busy with schoolwork, so parents and students choose to focus on subjects that are tested more often. However, learning music is beneficial（有益的）in many ways. When playing music, you need different abilities to work together. It is not as simple as it looks, according to Kenneth K. Guilmartin of Music Together, an early childhood music development program. For example, when playing the piano, people see music notes and decode（解码）them in their brains. They also use their fingers to make sounds. You need to deal with all these things at the same time. Music has a special connection with science as well. You can see that many scientists are good at playing music：Einstein played the violin and German physicist Max Planck was talented in playing the piano. （1）Some schools in the US cut music classes, because ____. A. they were too difficult to learn B. students in the US weren't interested in music C. the schools wanted to control budgets D. there weren't enough music teachers in the US （2）In Paragraph 2, what does the underlined word "them" refer to（指代）? A. Students in Chicago. B. Public schools. C. Parents in Chicago. D. Fired teachers.（3）How many scientists who are good at playing music are mentioned in this passage? A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four. （4）What's the writer's opinion according to this passage? A. Music is as simple as it looks. B. Music classes should be cut in some schools. C. Music is a big part of our lives. D. Music isn't a very important life skill for us. 【答案】（1）C （2）D （3）B （4）C 【解析】【分析】本文介绍了很多地区削减了音乐课以控制预算，这是不合适的，因为音乐在许多方面都是有益的。 （1）细节题。根据some American schools have cut music classes to control budgets可知美国的一些学校停课，因为学校想控制预算，故选C。
