It’s easy to scare people about what’s in their food, but the danger is almost never real. And the【C1】________itself kills.
Take the panic【C2】________genetically modified organisms, or GMOs. Ninety percent of all corn grown in America is genetically modified now. That means it grew from a seed that scientists【C3】________by playing with its genes. The new genes may make corn grow faster, or they may make it less【C4】________to bugs so farmers can use【C5】________pest-killing chemicals.
This【C6】________some people. GMOs are "unnatural," they say. A【C7】________from the movie "Seeds of Death" warns that eating GMOs "causes multiple organ system【C8】________."
Michael Hansen of Consumer Reports sounds al-most as【C9】________when he talks about GMOs. He says, "You can’t control【C10】________you’re inserting that genetic information; it can have different effects【C11】________on the location."
Jon Entine of Genetic Literacy Project responds: "We’ve eaten about 7 trillion meals in the 18 years【C12】________GMOs first came on the market. There’s not one documented instance of someone getting so【C13】________as a cough."
Given all the fear from【C14】________and activists, you might be surprised to learn that most serious scientists【C15】________with him. "There have been about 2,000 studies," says Entine, and "there is no【C16】________of human harm in a major peer-reviewed journal."
That might be enough to reassure people if they knew how widespread and familiar GMOs really are—but【C17】________they think of GMOs as something strange and new, they think more tests are needed.
【C18】________people don’t worry about crops bred in【C19】________varieties for centuries without farmers having any idea exactly what genetic changes【C20】________
【C1】
选项
A、consumption
B、mood
C、offense
D、fear
答案
D
解析
第1段提及scare,danger,kills等词语,推断讨论的话题应该是负面的。第2段开头部分提及panic“恐慌”。D项fear与scare和panic都为近义词,实现了词语同义复现,符合上下文逻辑,故答案选D。前一句提到“实际上并没有那么危险”,因此即使吃食品也不会带来危险,排除A项consumption“吃、喝(食物、饮料)”。B项mood“心情”、C项offense“犯罪;过错,冒犯”,都没法统领下文所谈论的主题,故排除。
