11、rising sea levels, we all know the problems that climate (气候) change can cause. But while it may seem like such problems wont influence most of us directly, it looks like people in the future could live without something like chocolate that people can easily get now.According to an article published
12、 by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, changes to the climate in the areas that produce cacaothe plant from which chocolate is produced may mean that it will soon disappear.Most of the worlds cacao grows in countries close to the equator (赤道), with over half of it growing in the
13、 African nations of Ghana and Ivory Coast. Its expected that by 2050, climate change will make temperatures in these countries rise faster, making it very difficult for cacao to grow there.The problem doesnt lie in increased heat, however, but in lower humidity (湿度), as its believed that the rainfal
14、l (降雨量) will stay at the same level if the temperature rises. In other words, as higher temperatures take more water out of soil and plants, its impossible that the rainfall will increase enough to make up for the loss. Michon Scott, the articles author, wrote.To help fight this problem, researchers
15、 from Berkeley University in the US are working on changing the DNA of cacao plants to allow them to survive in dryer conditions by using gene editing technology (基因编辑技术), according to US News.19The underline word “it” in Paragraph 1 refers to _.AcacaoBclimate changeCchocolateDlow humidity20Where is

Eleanors room is near mine so I mustnt be afraid.” she thought.She opened her bedroom door, saw a cheerful fire and was glad to be inside her room and not in the storm. Then
19、 she noticed the curtains were moving. As she walked to the windows to make sure there wasnt a ghost (幽灵) behind them, she sang a little song to give her courage. She pulled back the curtains and looked behind them. Of course it was only the wind! She noticed an old box near the window. Now, Catheri
