24、s C Garrison had been treasuring his last piece. All he had left now was a sheet of the beautiful brown paper Pa had brought back from his last sailing trip. “Youve been quiet, “ Pa said, “Could I see your picture? “ Garrison handed over his sketch. Pa studied it, then looked at his son. “Youre ten
25、now, eh? “ Garrison nodded, hoping Pa wouldnt say that he was too old to be fooling around with pencils and paper. “When I was ten, I wanted to work on my fathers ship, “ Pa said, “When Thomas was ten, he asked me to let him plant the corn. “ Garrisons throat (嗓子) tightened. “I know Im not like eith
26、er of you. “ Pa looked at the drawing again. “No, you are like both of us. You work hard, like Thomas. And youre like me, too. I have wandering feet, but you have a wandering mind. We need to see things differently. Garrison frowned. “Id rather love the land, like Thomas, or the sea“ Pa patted his h
27、and. “Thomas cares about our family very much-that s why hes worked so hard to bring us food. And my love for the sea makes good money. But theres more in life than food and money. Theres happiness, for one. Does it make you happy to draw? “ Garrison nodded. “And it makes me happy to look at your dr
28、awings. Not many folks can catch happiness on a piece of paper. Some might say drawings a waste of time, but they dont understand how things are. Why, asking you to stop drawing like asking Thomas to stop farming, or me to stop going to sea. It would be like asking us to stop breathing, wouldnt it?
29、“ Garrison considered this, then replied, “No, sir. Not quite like breathing. If I couldnt draw any more, it would be like someone took away my voice. “ He hung his head. In his mind he could hear Thomas laughing, “It s not like you ever speak up, anyway. “ But Pa patted his shoulder and said, “That
30、 would be a pure shame. Your voice is important, Garrison, whether its out loud or on paper. And speaking of paper“ Pa smiled. “Take a look in my bag. “ Garrison reached into the bag and found a sketchbook.

33、and, killing all the Lumper potato plants. In another place or time, the death of single crop species (物种) might not have been so important. But in Ireland, in 1845, people depended almost solely on the patato for food. The death of one species caused a terrible famine(饥荒). Now, some scientists are
34、worried that such a famine could happen again, but on a much wider scale. Over the centuries, farmers have discovered thousands of different species of food crops. Each species has special qualities. Some can be grown in very hot or cold climates. Others are not affected by certain diseases. However
35、, you wont find many of these species in your local supermarket. To feed the seven billion people on Earth, most farmers today are growing only species of plants and farming only species of animals that are easy to produce in large numbers. For example, in the Philippines, there were once thousands
36、of varieties of rice: now fewer than 100 are grown there. In China, 90 percent of the wheat varieties grown just a century ago have disappeared. Scientists believe that over the past century, we have allowed more than half of the worlds food varieties to disappear. One solution to this problem is to
37、 collect and store the seeds (种子) as many different plant varieties as we can before they disappear. The idea was first suggested by Russian scientist Nikolay Vavilov. In the 1920s and 1930s, he collected around 400,000 seeds from five contients. More recently, others are continuing the work he bega
38、n. In the U.S. state of Iowa, Diane Ott Whealy wanted to protect historic plant varieties, like the seeds her great grandfather brought to the U.S. from Germany more than a hundred years ago. She and her husband started a place called Heritage Farm, where people can store and trade seeds. More impor
39、tantly, the people at Heritage Farm don t just store the seeds; they plant them. By doing this, they are reintroducing foods into the marketplace that havent been grown for years. These food species are not just special in terms of appearance or taste. They also offer farmers food solutions for the
40、future, from the past. 34. What is this passage mainly about? A. The need to protect different food species. B. How to increase the number of food species. C. The fact that many food species are dying out. D. How to prevent food species from disappearing. 35. Why are some scientists worried that suc
41、h a famine could happen again? A. Because people depend on certain species of food crops. B. Because the same deadly disease may attack crops again. C. Because the worlds population is larger than that in 1845. D. Because farmers grow the same potatoes as those in the past. 36. The following sentenc
42、e would best be placed at the end of _. Meanwhile, thousands of other species are dying out. A. Paragraph 1 B. Paragraph 2 C. Paragraph 3 D. Paragraph 4 37. What can we learn from the passage? A. The disease spread very quickly and killed thousands of people in Ireland. B. Around 80 percent of the r
43、ice varieties in the Philippines have disappeared. C. People have been storing seeds to save plane varieties for less than 100 years. D.
