29、 Twain waved (摇动) his hand and said, “It doesnt matter. The mosquitoes are no relatives of mine.

35、 United States have developed a high-producing rice that can reduce methane emissions(甲烷排放), a major greenhouse gas blamed for global warming, from rice fields, according to a paper published on the latest issue of Nature. By inserting a barley(大麦) gene into rice, Sun Chuanxin and his colleagues cre
36、ated SUSIBA2 Rice, which stores more starch(淀粉) in the section of the rice above ground， according to a paper published on the latest issue of Nature. This means the grains will have more starch while the root will exude less nutrients that will later be turned into methane by microbes (微生物) in the
37、soil, Sun, who works with Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, told Xinhua. “It solves two major problems mankind faces at one time: environmental degradation and the need for increased grain output,” Wang Feng, another scientist, said, adding that the rice can cut methane discharge by more
38、than 90 percent during summer and more than half during autumn, as “the rice displays a greater emission reduction effect in high temperatures.” Meanwhile, small-scale trials have also suggested an increased output: a single plant of the new breed has 300 more grains with a starch content 10 percent
39、 higher. Wang said the team is working on applications for the rice in different areas, seasons and using different farming techniques. “Its still far away from mass application, but at least we see the light of hope.” Human-induced methane, though less abundant than carbon dioxide in the air, is re
40、sponsible for 20 percent of the global warming effect. Rice paddies are the largest single source of methane linked to human activity. According to the Ministry of Agriculture, China produces 209 million tons of rice in 2014, or 28 percent of the worlds total of 734 million. 33SUSIBA2 Rice will be a
41、 major breakthrough because_.Ait tastes with a barley flavor. Bit well balances environmental protection and grains increase.Cit contains more starch than the ordinary rice.Dit gives off less methane in summer than in winter. 34What can we learn from the text? AScientists will soon grow the new rice
42、 in large areas. BHuman-related methane contributes most to global warming. CChina may contribute greatly to global warming reduction. DRice fields will be reduced all over the world. 35The purpose of this writing is to_. Aask people to cut down on their dependence on rice consumption. Bdraw peoples
43、 attention to the serious consequences of global warming. Cintroduce a new kind of genetically-modified rice and its possible benefits. Dindicate human-related methane alone is to blame for global warming effects. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 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选项。 Getting your children
