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】________
【C9】
选项
A、frightening
B、detecting
C、disputing
D、revealing
答案
A
解析
空格前的almost as…“和……几乎一样”表明本段是顺承上文语义,继续讲述对转基因食品的疑虑,且Michael的引言中也含表否定意义的can’t control,据此可推测Michael也认为转基因食品会带来坏处。根据上下文同义复现的scare,fear,panic,upsets等词,可知正确答案应是它们的同类词A项frightening。由空格前的almost as…可知,空格填入的词同时也是对上段人们对转基因食品的态度的一种概括。前文并没有出现争议,故C项disputing“有争议的,争论的”不对。B项detecting“检测的,察觉的”和D项revealing“揭示的”均不是表观点或态度的词,语义与上下文逻辑不相关,也可排除。
