21、odified foods (or GM foods) are foods derived from genetically modified organisms. Genetically modified organisms have had specific changes introduced into their DNA by genetic engineering techniques. GM foods were first put on the market in the early 1990s. Typically, genetically modified foods are

22、 transgenic plant products: soybean, corn, canola, and cotton seed oil. Animal products have also been developed, although as of July 2022 none are currently on the market.Critics have objected to GM foods on several grounds, including safety issues, ecological concerns, and economic concerns. Howev

23、er, genetically-modified foods are here to stay. That' s not to say that food produced by conventional agriculture will disappear, but simply that food-buying patterns will polarize 兩極分化：there will be a right market for conventional food just as there is for organic food. It may even be that GM

24、food will become the food of preference because consumers come to appreciate the health benefits of reduced pesticide use.The reason GM food will not go away is that we need a three-fold increase in food production by the year 2050 to keep pace with the world ' s predicted population growth to t

25、en or eleven billion. It ' s not just a question of more mouths to feed either. What is often forgotten is that all these extra people will take up space, reducing the overall land available for agriculture."Genetic modification is analogous to nuclear power: nobody loves it, but climate ch

26、ange has made its adoption imperative," says economist Paul Collier of Oxford University. "Declining genetic modification makes a complicated issue more complex. Genetic modification offers both faster crop adaptation and a biological, rather than chemical, approach to yield increases.&quo

27、t;The world has 800 million hungry people. Until now, food supplies have been increased by improved varieties, pesticides and artificial fertilizers: the green revolution. Now we' re on the edge of a new revolution: a geneticone.It may well be that in the long term it is the developing world tha

28、t benefits most from GM foods. It ' s true that for the next ten years or so GM crops may be too expensive. But the lesson of personal computers is applicable here once the technology has been developed for profitable crops, it will spread and become affordable for all. This doesn' t mean, u

34、ssage TwoQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.The radical transformation of the Soviet society had a profound impact on women' s lives. Soviet women under Stalin were also the first generation of women able to give birth in the safety of a hospital, with access to prenatal care

35、(產(chǎn)檢).Marxists had traditionally believed that both capitalism and the middle-class husbands exploited women. The Russian Revolution of 1917 immediately proclaimed complete equality of rights for women. In the 1920s divorce and abortion were made easily available, and women were urged to work outside

36、 the home and liberate themselves sexually. After Stalin came to power, sexual and familial liberation was played down, and the most lasting changes for women involved work and education.These changes were truly revolutionary. Young women were constantly told that they had to be equal to men, that t

37、hey could and should do everything men could do.

With the advent of the five-year-plans, millions of women also began to toil in

38、 factories and in heavy construction, building dams, roads and steel mills in summer heat and winter frost. Most of the opportunities open to men through education were also open to women. Determined women pursued their studies and entered the ranks of the better-paid specialists in industry and sci

39、ence. Medicine practically became a woman' s profession. By 1950, 75 percent ofdoctors in the Soviet Union were women.Thus Stalinist society gave women great opportunities but demanded great sacrifices as well. The vast majority of women simply had to work outside the home. Wages were so low tha

40、t it was almost impossible for a family or couple to live only on the husband ' s earnings. Moreover, the full-time working woman had a heavy burden of household tasks in her off hours, for most Soviet men in the 1930s still considered the home and the children the woman' s responsibility. M

41、en continued to monopolize the best jobs. Finally, rapid change and economic hardship led to many broken families, creating further physical, emotional, and mental strains for women.
