A.Limiting fuel consumption.
B.Putting more effort into renewables.
C.Improving energy efficiency.
D.Making electricity more affordable.
B
[自主解答] ____

【典例3】 (2024·浙江1月卷阅读C)
On September 7，1991，the costliest hailstorm (雹暴) in Canadian history hit Calgary's southern suburbs.As a result，since 1996 a group of insurance companies have spent about $2 million per year on the Alberta Hail Suppression Project.Airplanes seed threatening storm cells with a chemical to make small ice crystals fall as rain before they can grow into dangerous hailstones.But farmers in east central Alberta—downwind of the hail project flights — worry that precious moisture (水分) is being stolen from their thirsty land by the cloud seeding.
Norman Stienwand，who farms in that area，has been addressing public meetings on this issue for years.“Basically，the provincial government is letting the insurance companies protect the Calgary Edmonton urban area from hail，”Mr Stienwand says，“but they're increasing drought risk as far east as Saskatchewan.”
B
28.What does the project aim to do
A.Conserve moisture in the soil.
B.Prevent the formation of hailstones.
C.Forecast disastrous hailstorms.
D.Investigate chemical use in farming.
[自主解答] _______
[思路点拨] 第一步 找关键词：题干关键词为the project。
第二步 寻信息句：定位选文第一段中所提到的“the Alberta Hail Suppression Project”，因此根据第一段中的“Airplanes seed...hailstones.”可知，飞机通过向有威胁性的风暴体播撒一种化学物质，使得小冰晶在变成危险的冰雹之前先变成雨落下。
第三步 比对答案和信息句：原文明确说飞机播撒化学物质，使小冰晶在形成冰雹前像雨一样落下。B项(防止冰雹的形成)是对原文的归纳概括，符合文义。
【题型特点】 数字计算题一般会涉及时间、年龄、价钱、数量、距离等的简单计算。一般来说，计算量都比较小，容易计算。但是解答英语阅读中的数字计算题必须找出文中的隐含信息，这些隐含信息会涉及对某个长难句的理解，从这个角度上讲，理解文中相应的复杂句是解这类题的关键。数字计算题一般出现在广告类、故事类、科学知识类、史地自然类、文化教育类等语篇中。设问方式常以when，in which year，how many/much等疑问词(组)引出问题。

【典例4】 (2025·全国一卷阅读A)
The greening of planes，trains and automobiles
Moving goods and people around the world is responsible for a large part of global CO2 emissions (排放).As the world races to decarbonize everything，it faces particular problems with transportation — which accounts for about a quarter of our energy related greenhouse gas emissions.Here's the breakdown of the emissions in 2018 for different modes of transport.
C
21.What percentage of global transport emissions did road vehicles account for in 2018
A.11.6%. B.45.1%.
C.74.5%. D.86.1%.
[自主解答] ______
[思路点拨] 第一步 找关键词：题干关键词为road vehicles。
第二步 寻信息句：选文中的图表。
第三步 比对答案和信息句：根据图表信息ROAD VEHICLES包括“ROAD (PASSENGER) 45.1%”和“ROAD (GOODS) 29.4%”两部分可知，道路车辆总占比为45.1%＋29.4%＝74.5%，即道路车辆在2018年全球交通排放中占比74.5%。

(2025·山东德州二模)Mo Wilde's fascinating book，Free Food: Wild Plants and How to Eat Them，makes the case for connecting with nature by finding your cuisine beyond supermarket shelves.
A couple of years ago，the thin branches of an elder (接骨木) bush inched through the open blinds of my apartment building，gradually forming what I can only describe as a piece of living wallpaper.Mother Nature was breaking into our boundaries — reminding us who's boss.I thought it was fantastic，but the householder did not.A tree surgeon was called in.
Mo Wilde would have had other ideas.In Free Food, she suggests using elder leaves when cooking potatoes: they have a similar taste to parsley，a plant used as a herb in cooking.This simple way bridges the gap that middlemen，such as supermarkets and grocery shops，have placed between us and the natural world.“We are nature，”Wilde writes.“And making good use of more wild food into our diets will make us more conscious of that.”
Free Food advocates for integration，not complete replacement.For instance，try using leaves instead of tin foil for wrapping delicate food when barbecuing.Tables，like the“Wild Spice Conversion Chart”make wild garlic look downright basic.Do you know sneezewort produces a similar taste to Sichuan pepper Her suggestions even involve using plants for medicinal teas and household items.Wilde's tone is encouraging and her expertise and experience make you trust her，and her enthusiasm makes you turn the page.
Readers whose home is their kitchen will notice that Wilde provides more ideas than recipes.Since reading Free Food, I've found myself picking leaves and seeing whether I can identify them without an app，though there is always an app that would instantly tell me what they are.The appeal of collecting is that it forces you to pay attention to your surroundings and build a relationship with nature，one plant at a time.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要通过Mo Wilde的著作介绍了通过寻觅野外食物与大自然建立联系，弥合人类饮食与自然世界之间的鸿沟。
4.Why did the householder call in a tree surgeon
A.To remove the elder branches.
B.To repair the blinds.
C.To get another elder tree planted.
D.To replace the wallpaper.
解析 A 细节理解题。根据第二段“A couple of years ago，the thin branches of an elder (接骨木) bush inched through the open blinds of my apartment building...A tree surgeon was called in.”可知，一棵接骨木的细枝伸进了房间，作者把它看作是“活墙纸”，但是房主不这么认为，叫来了树木修整专家，由此推知，叫来树木修整专家是为了移除接骨木的细枝，故选A。
5.Where does Mo Wilde see a gap
A.Between elder leaves and parsley.
B.Between our diet and nature gifts.
C.Between wild food and our awareness.
D.Between supermarkets and grocery shops.
解析 B 细节理解题。根据第三段中“In Free Food, she suggests using elder leaves when cooking potatoes...between us and the natural world.”可知，Mo Wilde建议使用接骨木叶子替代欧芹，这样就弥合了我们和自然之间的鸿沟，所以他看到了在我们的饮食和自然界的礼物之间的鸿沟，故选B。
6.What can the underlined word“sneezewort”refer to in paragraph 4
A.A health-care tea.
B.A big leaf used as a package.
C.A household cleaning article.
D.A wild plant with a hot flavor.
解析 D 词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“‘Wild Spice Conversion Chart’...produces a similar taste to Sichuan pepper”可知，sneezewort味道和四川花椒差不多，由此推知，sneezewort指的是“一种有辣味的野生植物”，故选D。
7.What change has the author undergone after reading Free Food
A.Falling in love with cooking.
B.Starting to collect leaves for recipes.
C.Coming into closer contact with nature.
D.Learning to draw on apps to explore plants.
解析 C 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Since reading Free Food...and build a relationship with nature，one plant at a time.”可知，读完Free Food作者与大自然有了更亲密的接触，故选C。

(2025·重庆一诊)Dragons，mythical creatures of power and magic，have captured the imagination of people across cultures for centuries.However，the perception and symbolism of dragons differ significantly between Eastern and Western cultures.
In the East，particularly in China，the dragon is a respectable symbol of power，strength，and good luck.It is often associated with the element of water and is believed to have the ability to control rain and floods.The Chinese dragon most resembles a snake，and has four claws and no wings.It also represents the imperial power，so ancient Chinese emperors decorated their clothes with dragon patterns，which were known as dragon robes.The dragon is often used in traditional art and festivals in China，such as the Dragon Boat Festival.Many Chinese view the dragon as a national representative，thus proudly referring to themselves as “Generations of the Dragon”.
In contrast，Western dragon culture portrays dragons as fearsome，firebreathing creatures that spread violence and terror throughout the land.They are typically shown with large，batlike wings，sharp claws，and a long tail.Western dragons are known for guarding vast piles of gold and jewels and are often defeated by heroes in various stories.They symbolize chaos and destruction，and their defeat is seen as a triumph of good over evil.
Despite these differences，dragons in both cultures are seen as powerful and wise beings.They are a source of fascination and have inspired countless stories，art，and even modern-day movies and games.The dragon's ability to fly and its connection to the element make it a symbol of freedom and the ability to overcome obstacles.Today，dragons continue to evolve，exceeding traditional boundaries and finding new significance in global culture.They are no longer associated with evil or good，but rather as complex characters with their own unique personalities and motivations.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了东西方文化中龙的形象及其象征意义存在显著差异。

A.They can see dragons everywhere in China.
B.They regard the dragon as a symbol of China.

解析 B 细节理解题。根据第二段对中国龙的介绍，尤其是“Many Chinese view the dragon as a national representative，thus proudly referring to themselves as ‘Generations of the Dragon’.”可知，中国人把龙视为国家的象征，所以称自己是“龙的传人”。B项的“a symbol of China”与文中的“a national representative”是同义转换。故选B。
9.What roles do dragons play in modern global culture
A.They symbolize both good and evil.
B.They are still associated with disasters.
C.They represent freedom and destruction.
D.They are seen as comprehensive characters.
解析 D 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“They are no longer...complex characters with their own unique personalities and motivations.”可知，如今，龙在现代全球文化中被视为具有独特个性和动机的复杂角色，与D项的“They are seen as comprehensive characters”意义对应。故选D。
10.What is the author's purpose in writing the text
A.To compare Eastern and Western dragons.
B.To show the evolution of dragons in literature.
C.To highlight cultural differences between Eastern and Western dragons.
D.To argue for the importance of dragons in modern society.

(2025·广东二调)Last year，my husband and I decided to make our 12-storey building more of a community.We live in a small rented apartment in Parkmerced，a large housing development.I would call us lower-middle-class.A lot of nurses，bus drivers，and tradesmen live here，many of them 1st- or 2nd- generation immigrants (移民).
We're all renters.Renters come and go and tend not to see the building they live in as their home.But it can be done.We started with a monthly two-hour social in the building lobby (前厅) on the second Friday of each month.Some people came，between 15 and 30 each time.The events lasted two hours，but there wasn't much to do besides talking，eating snacks and drinking juice.The socials were nice，but most residents gave them a miss.
Then one day I was on the nearby campus of San Francisco State University.A young man from a social club for students had a big sign about “Building Community”.I asked him，“How do you do that？” He said they tried to get people to share something about themselves with at least one other person.That made a lot of sense to me.
I bought a large world map.At the social，I taped it on the lobby wall with signs that said “Where We're From.Put a green sticker where you were born and yellow stickers where your grandparents were born.” People put up their stickers and saw where other people came from.We left the map up overnight，and the next day，Saturday，more people played.I planned to leave the map and stickers up for a month or more.They certainly made the lobby more interesting than it usually was.
I see that there will be challenges，but I also know that a strong community will help us live good lives.I have the time and energy to do this work.

(2025·广东六校第三次联考)The corn eaten around the world today originated in Mexico nearly 10，000 years ago.From the ancient rituals of the Mayans to modern-day dishes like tortillas，corn is central to culture，cuisine，and identity in this region.
To protect this heritage，Mexico is fighting to phase out genetically modified (GM) US-grown corn this year.The Mexican government claims that banning GM corn will protect the country's native corn varieties.Yet the announcement aroused strong objections from the US，whose largest annual customer for GM corn is often Mexico.The US claims that the GM ban breaks the trade agreement between the two countries.
Mexico insists that modified seeds threaten Mexico's agricultural traditions and cultural identity.In the US，most corn is grown with seeds produced by large companies，which create just a handful of genetically identical corn varieties grown on a large scale.In Mexico，however，seeds come from seed-sharing practices among small-scale farms，which facilitates more diversity and allows farmers to grow corn that ranges widely in color and size.
“Traditional varieties maintain a substantial amount of genetic diversity，” says Jeffrey Ross-Ibarra，an ecologist at the University of California，but he doesn't think banning GM corn will help preserve these varieties，and points to a decrease in small-scale farms as the greater threat to native corn.“If traditional farmers abandon subsistence farming (自给农业)，we're potentially losing diversity whether that crop is GM or traditionally bred，so economic policy has a much bigger impact on the risk of corn diversity than the adoption of GM corn.” Since Mexico began importing US corn，small-scale farms have been declining.
Mauricio Bellon，a research professor at the Swette Center for Sustainable Food Systems，believes that while threatened species are often stored in gene banks，the relationship between a farmer and their crop plays a crucial conservation role.“Evolution at scale continues with corn in Mexico through millions of farmers，” he says.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。玉米是墨西哥文化、美食、特征的重要组成部分。为了保护这一遗产，墨西哥今年正在努力逐步淘汰美国种植的转基因玉米。本文分析了墨西哥这一举措的原因，以及不同科学家对此的态度。
8.Why is Mexico prohibiting GM corn
A.To break the trade agreement.
B.To cost the cost of importing corn.
C.To safeguard its own types of corn.
D.To get rid of the dependence on the US.
解析 C 细节理解题。根据第二段的“The Mexican government claims that banning GM corn will protect the country's native corn varieties.”可知，墨西哥政府声称，禁止转基因玉米将保护该国的本土玉米品种。由此可知，墨西哥禁止转基因玉米是为了保护自己国家的玉米品种，故选C。
9.What is different in corn production practices between the US and Mexico from paragraph 3
A.The scale of farms. B.The source of corn seeds.
C.The ownership of farmland. D.The concept between farmers.
解析 B 细节理解题。根据第三段的“In the US，most corn is grown with seeds produced by large companies...In Mexico，however，seeds come from seed-sharing practices among small-scale farms”可知，在美国，大多数玉米都是用大公司生产的种子种植的，这些大公司只生产少量大规模种植的基因相同的玉米品种，然而，在墨西哥，种子来自小规模农场之间的种子共享。由此可知，美国和墨西哥玉米种子来源不同，故选B。
10.What does Jeffrey Ross-Ibarra believe is a greater threat to native corn varieties
A.The adoption of GM corn.
B.The decline in small-scale farms.
C.The lack of economic policy support.
D.The disappearance of traditional farming practices.
解析 B 细节理解题。根据第四段的“he doesn't think...points to a decrease in small-scale farms as the greater threat to native corn”可知，Jeffrey Ross-Ibarra 指出小规模农场的减少是对本土玉米的更大威胁，故选B。
11.What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A.Biodiversity contributes to species evolution.
B.GM corn has negative effects on traditional farms.
C.Gene banks effectively conserve endangered species.
D.Traditional farming practices help in maintaining corn varieties.
解析 D 推理判断题。最后一段讲Mauricio Bellon认为虽然受到威胁的物种通常被储存在基因库中，但农民与作物之间的关系在保护(作物)中起着至关重要的作用，墨西哥数百万的农民种植玉米，大规模的发展仍在继续。由此可推知，Mauricio Bellon认为墨西哥的传统种植玉米的方法重视农民与作物之间的关系，有助于保护当地玉米的品种，故选D。

【典例3】 (2024·浙江1月卷阅读C)
On September 7，1991，the costliest hailstorm (雹暴) in Canadian history hit Calgary's southern suburbs.As a result，since 1996 a group of insurance companies have spent about $2 million per year on the Alberta Hail Suppression Project.Airplanes seed threatening storm cells with a chemical to make small ice crystals fall as rain before they can grow into dangerous hailstones.But farmers in east central Alberta—downwind of the hail project flights — worry that precious moisture (水分) is being stolen from their thirsty land by the cloud seeding.
Norman Stienwand，who farms in that area，has been addressing public meetings on this issue for years.“Basically，the provincial government is letting the insurance companies protect the Calgary Edmonton urban area from hail，”Mr Stienwand says，“but they're increasing drought risk as far east as Saskatchewan.”
B
28.What does the project aim to do
A.Conserve moisture in the soil.
B.Prevent the formation of hailstones.
C.Forecast disastrous hailstorms.
D.Investigate chemical use in farming.
[自主解答] _______
[思路点拨] 第一步 找关键词：题干关键词为the project。
第二步 寻信息句：定位选文第一段中所提到的“the Alberta Hail Suppression Project”，因此根据第一段中的“Airplanes seed...hailstones.”可知，飞机通过向有威胁性的风暴体播撒一种化学物质，使得小冰晶在变成危险的冰雹之前先变成雨落下。
第三步 比对答案和信息句：原文明确说飞机播撒化学物质，使小冰晶在形成冰雹前像雨一样落下。B项(防止冰雹的形成)是对原文的归纳概括，符合文义。
【题型特点】 数字计算题一般会涉及时间、年龄、价钱、数量、距离等的简单计算。一般来说，计算量都比较小，容易计算。但是解答英语阅读中的数字计算题必须找出文中的隐含信息，这些隐含信息会涉及对某个长难句的理解，从这个角度上讲，理解文中相应的复杂句是解这类题的关键。数字计算题一般出现在广告类、故事类、科学知识类、史地自然类、文化教育类等语篇中。设问方式常以when，in which year，how many/much等疑问词(组)引出问题。

(2025·山东德州二模)Mo Wilde's fascinating book，Free Food: Wild Plants and How to Eat Them，makes the case for connecting with nature by finding your cuisine beyond supermarket shelves.
A couple of years ago，the thin branches of an elder (接骨木) bush inched through the open blinds of my apartment building，gradually forming what I can only describe as a piece of living wallpaper.Mother Nature was breaking into our boundaries — reminding us who's boss.I thought it was fantastic，but the householder did not.A tree surgeon was called in.
Mo Wilde would have had other ideas.In Free Food, she suggests using elder leaves when cooking potatoes: they have a similar taste to parsley，a plant used as a herb in cooking.This simple way bridges the gap that middlemen，such as supermarkets and grocery shops，have placed between us and the natural world.“We are nature，”Wilde writes.“And making good use of more wild food into our diets will make us more conscious of that.”
Free Food advocates for integration，not complete replacement.For instance，try using leaves instead of tin foil for wrapping delicate food when barbecuing.Tables，like the“Wild Spice Conversion Chart”make wild garlic look downright basic.Do you know sneezewort produces a similar taste to Sichuan pepper Her suggestions even involve using plants for medicinal teas and household items.Wilde's tone is encouraging and her expertise and experience make you trust her，and her enthusiasm makes you turn the page.
Readers whose home is their kitchen will notice that Wilde provides more ideas than recipes.Since reading Free Food, I've found myself picking leaves and seeing whether I can identify them without an app，though there is always an app that would instantly tell me what they are.The appeal of collecting is that it forces you to pay attention to your surroundings and build a relationship with nature，one plant at a time.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要通过Mo Wilde的著作介绍了通过寻觅野外食物与大自然建立联系，弥合人类饮食与自然世界之间的鸿沟。
4.Why did the householder call in a tree surgeon
A.To remove the elder branches.
B.To repair the blinds.
C.To get another elder tree planted.
D.To replace the wallpaper.
解析 A 细节理解题。根据第二段“A couple of years ago，the thin branches of an elder (接骨木) bush inched through the open blinds of my apartment building...A tree surgeon was called in.”可知，一棵接骨木的细枝伸进了房间，作者把它看作是“活墙纸”，但是房主不这么认为，叫来了树木修整专家，由此推知，叫来树木修整专家是为了移除接骨木的细枝，故选A。
5.Where does Mo Wilde see a gap
A.Between elder leaves and parsley.
B.Between our diet and nature gifts.
C.Between wild food and our awareness.
D.Between supermarkets and grocery shops.
解析 B 细节理解题。根据第三段中“In Free Food, she suggests using elder leaves when cooking potatoes...between us and the natural world.”可知，Mo Wilde建议使用接骨木叶子替代欧芹，这样就弥合了我们和自然之间的鸿沟，所以他看到了在我们的饮食和自然界的礼物之间的鸿沟，故选B。
6.What can the underlined word“sneezewort”refer to in paragraph 4
A.A health-care tea.
B.A big leaf used as a package.
C.A household cleaning article.
D.A wild plant with a hot flavor.
解析 D 词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“‘Wild Spice Conversion Chart’...produces a similar taste to Sichuan pepper”可知，sneezewort味道和四川花椒差不多，由此推知，sneezewort指的是“一种有辣味的野生植物”，故选D。
7.What change has the author undergone after reading Free Food
A.Falling in love with cooking.
B.Starting to collect leaves for recipes.
C.Coming into closer contact with nature.
D.Learning to draw on apps to explore plants.

(2025·重庆一诊)Dragons，mythical creatures of power and magic，have captured the imagination of people across cultures for centuries.However，the perception and symbolism of dragons differ significantly between Eastern and Western cultures.
In the East，particularly in China，the dragon is a respectable symbol of power，strength，and good luck.It is often associated with the element of water and is believed to have the ability to control rain and floods.The Chinese dragon most resembles a snake，and has four claws and no wings.It also represents the imperial power，so ancient Chinese emperors decorated their clothes with dragon patterns，which were known as dragon robes.The dragon is often used in traditional art and festivals in China，such as the Dragon Boat Festival.Many Chinese view the dragon as a national representative，thus proudly referring to themselves as “Generations of the Dragon”.
In contrast，Western dragon culture portrays dragons as fearsome，firebreathing creatures that spread violence and terror throughout the land.They are typically shown with large，batlike wings，sharp claws，and a long tail.Western dragons are known for guarding vast piles of gold and jewels and are often defeated by heroes in various stories.They symbolize chaos and destruction，and their defeat is seen as a triumph of good over evil.
Despite these differences，dragons in both cultures are seen as powerful and wise beings.They are a source of fascination and have inspired countless stories，art，and even modern-day movies and games.The dragon's ability to fly and its connection to the element make it a symbol of freedom and the ability to overcome obstacles.Today，dragons continue to evolve，exceeding traditional boundaries and finding new significance in global culture.They are no longer associated with evil or good，but rather as complex characters with their own unique personalities and motivations.

(2025·广东二调)Last year，my husband and I decided to make our 12-storey building more of a community.We live in a small rented apartment in Parkmerced，a large housing development.I would call us lower-middle-class.A lot of nurses，bus drivers，and tradesmen live here，many of them 1st- or 2nd- generation immigrants (移民).
We're all renters.Renters come and go and tend not to see the building they live in as their home.But it can be done.We started with a monthly two-hour social in the building lobby (前厅) on the second Friday of each month.Some people came，between 15 and 30 each time.The events lasted two hours，but there wasn't much to do besides talking，eating snacks and drinking juice.The socials were nice，but most residents gave them a miss.
Then one day I was on the nearby campus of San Francisco State University.A young man from a social club for students had a big sign about “Building Community”.I asked him，“How do you do that？” He said they tried to get people to share something about themselves with at least one other person.That made a lot of sense to me.
I bought a large world map.At the social，I taped it on the lobby wall with signs that said “Where We're From.Put a green sticker where you were born and yellow stickers where your grandparents were born.” People put up their stickers and saw where other people came from.We left the map up overnight，and the next day，Saturday，more people played.I planned to leave the map and stickers up for a month or more.They certainly made the lobby more interesting than it usually was.
I see that there will be challenges，but I also know that a strong community will help us live good lives.I have the time and energy to do this work.

(2025·广东六校第三次联考)The corn eaten around the world today originated in Mexico nearly 10，000 years ago.From the ancient rituals of the Mayans to modern-day dishes like tortillas，corn is central to culture，cuisine，and identity in this region.
To protect this heritage，Mexico is fighting to phase out genetically modified (GM) US-grown corn this year.The Mexican government claims that banning GM corn will protect the country's native corn varieties.Yet the announcement aroused strong objections from the US，whose largest annual customer for GM corn is often Mexico.The US claims that the GM ban breaks the trade agreement between the two countries.
Mexico insists that modified seeds threaten Mexico's agricultural traditions and cultural identity.In the US，most corn is grown with seeds produced by large companies，which create just a handful of genetically identical corn varieties grown on a large scale.In Mexico，however，seeds come from seed-sharing practices among small-scale farms，which facilitates more diversity and allows farmers to grow corn that ranges widely in color and size.
“Traditional varieties maintain a substantial amount of genetic diversity，” says Jeffrey Ross-Ibarra，an ecologist at the University of California，but he doesn't think banning GM corn will help preserve these varieties，and points to a decrease in small-scale farms as the greater threat to native corn.“If traditional farmers abandon subsistence farming (自给农业)，we're potentially losing diversity whether that crop is GM or traditionally bred，so economic policy has a much bigger impact on the risk of corn diversity than the adoption of GM corn.” Since Mexico began importing US corn，small-scale farms have been declining.
Mauricio Bellon，a research professor at the Swette Center for Sustainable Food Systems，believes that while threatened species are often stored in gene banks，the relationship between a farmer and their crop plays a crucial conservation role.“Evolution at scale continues with corn in Mexico through millions of farmers，” he says.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。玉米是墨西哥文化、美食、特征的重要组成部分。为了保护这一遗产，墨西哥今年正在努力逐步淘汰美国种植的转基因玉米。本文分析了墨西哥这一举措的原因，以及不同科学家对此的态度。
8.Why is Mexico prohibiting GM corn
A.To break the trade agreement.
B.To cost the cost of importing corn.
C.To safeguard its own types of corn.
D.To get rid of the dependence on the US.
解析 C 细节理解题。根据第二段的“The Mexican government claims that banning GM corn will protect the country's native corn varieties.”可知，墨西哥政府声称，禁止转基因玉米将保护该国的本土玉米品种。由此可知，墨西哥禁止转基因玉米是为了保护自己国家的玉米品种，故选C。
9.What is different in corn production practices between the US and Mexico from paragraph 3
A.The scale of farms. B.The source of corn seeds.
C.The ownership of farmland. D.The concept between farmers.
解析 B 细节理解题。根据第三段的“In the US，most corn is grown with seeds produced by large companies...In Mexico，however，seeds come from seed-sharing practices among small-scale farms”可知，在美国，大多数玉米都是用大公司生产的种子种植的，这些大公司只生产少量大规模种植的基因相同的玉米品种，然而，在墨西哥，种子来自小规模农场之间的种子共享。由此可知，美国和墨西哥玉米种子来源不同，故选B。
10.What does Jeffrey Ross-Ibarra believe is a greater threat to native corn varieties
A.The adoption of GM corn.
B.The decline in small-scale farms.
C.The lack of economic policy support.
D.The disappearance of traditional farming practices.
解析 B 细节理解题。根据第四段的“he doesn't think...points to a decrease in small-scale farms as the greater threat to native corn”可知，Jeffrey Ross-Ibarra 指出小规模农场的减少是对本土玉米的更大威胁，故选B。
11.What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A.Biodiversity contributes to species evolution.
B.GM corn has negative effects on traditional farms.
C.Gene banks effectively conserve endangered species.
D.Traditional farming practices help in maintaining corn varieties.
解析 D 推理判断题。最后一段讲Mauricio Bellon认为虽然受到威胁的物种通常被储存在基因库中，但农民与作物之间的关系在保护(作物)中起着至关重要的作用，墨西哥数百万的农民种植玉米，大规模的发展仍在继续。由此可推知，Mauricio Bellon认为墨西哥的传统种植玉米的方法重视农民与作物之间的关系，有助于保护当地玉米的品种，故选D。
