16、usual activity. I would return from school and spend the expected half hour recording the days events, feelings, and impressions in my little blue diary. I did not really need to express my emotions by way of words, but I gained a certain satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever recorded on p
17、aper. After all, isnt accumulating memories a way of preserving the past?When I was thirteen years old, I went on a long journey on foot in a great valley, well equipped with pens, a diary, and a camera. During the trip, I was busy recording every incident, name and place I came across. I felt proud
18、 to be spending my time productively, dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my travels. On my last night there, I wandered out of my tent, diary in hand. The sky was clear and lit by the glare of the moon, and the walls of the valley looked threatening behind their sc
19、reen of shadows. I automatically took out my pen.At that point, I understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley. All I remembered of the previous few days were the dull characterizations I had set down in
20、my diary.Now, I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling. I still love to record ideas and quotations that strike me in books, or observations that are particularly meaningful. I take pictures, but not very often only of objects I find really beautiful. Im no lon
21、ger blindly satisfied with having something to remember when I grow old. I realize that life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera, busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future.I dont want to wake up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes. Maybe I wont h
22、ave as many exact representations of people and places; maybe Ill forget certain facts, but at least the experiences will always remain inside me.

25、erience itB. to live the present in the futureC. to make memoriesD. to give accurate representations of itCIf you live in a big city, there are many things to drive you crazy on your daily route, and its not just overcrowded subway trains.Vicky Zhao is a mainlander working in Hong Kong. For her, one
26、 thing she cant put up with is people standing on the wrong side of the escalator（自动扶梯）in subway stations. “Escalators help us move faster and save time. It isnt a place to rest,” the 24-year-old says. “I often see tourists block the way with their suitcases or chatting on the escalators during rush
27、 hours. It annoys me to no end.”Admitting she is not the patient type, Zhao says things are much better in Hong Kong than in cities on the mainland where “stand right, walk left” signs are often ignored.The logic behind the “stand right, walk left” escalator etiquette（礼仪）seems obvious. Even though y
28、ou may want to catch your breath while youre transported up or down, you should still consider others and leave enough space for people in a hurry, so that they can run and catch the train.Many cities escalators, including Londons and Beijings, use the “stand right, walk left” system to speed up the
29、 flow of people.（Australia is an exception and you should stand on the left side instead.）But some cities discourage people from moving on escalators out of safety reasons. In Hong Kongs subway stations there are regular announcements asking people to “stand still” on escalators. Even so, most peopl
30、e in this fast-paced city observe the “stand right, walk left” etiquette.But the people who stand on escalators defend themselves by telling the walkers not to be so impatient. The BBC quotes one stander as saying：“If the person is in such a rush, why not just take the stairs? Even when the escalato
31、r is packed and theres nowhere to move, I see these same people complaining about not being able to pass.Whatever the escalator etiquette is in the place you live or visit, do what most people are doing and always be mindful of others: leave enough space between each other, dont stay at the end of t
32、he escalator, and if someone is blocking your way, a simple “excuse me” is enough.28In the second paragraph, the underlined word It refers _.Athe authors living in the big city of Hong KongBbeing crowded on the subway trains m rush hoursCpeoples blocking the way or chat on the escalatorsDpeoples sta
33、nding on the right side resting29When on the escalator, a majority of local people in Hong Kong _.Astand still as the railway stations requireBignore the “stand right, walk left” signsCuse the stairs instead of escalatorsDfollow the “stand right, walk left” etiquette30What can be inferred from the 6
34、th paragraph?ANot everyone follows the “stand right, walk left” etiquette.BThe BBC is against the “stand right, walk left” etiquette.CPeople should be patient and take the stairs if possible.DPeople shouldnt complain about the crowded escalators.31Which of the following statements is the writers opi
35、nion?APeople should stand right no matter where they are.BPeople should do as the Romans do and consider others.CPeople should do as they like on the escalators.DPeople should be seriously criticized when they block the way.DNowadays more and more people are talking about genetically modified foods
36、( GM foods). GM foods develop from genetically modified organisms (有机体), which have had specific changes introduced into their DNA by genetic engineering techniques. These techniques are much more precise where an organism is exposed to chemicals to create a nonspecific but stable change. For many p
37、eople, the hightech production raises all kinds of environmental, ethical, health and safety problems. Particularly in countries with long farming traditions, the idea seems against nature.In fact, GM foods are already very much a part of our lives. They were first put on the market in 1996. A third
38、 of the corn and more than half the cotton grown in the U. S. last year was the product of biotechnology, according to the Department of Agriculture. More than 65 million acres of genetically modified crops will be planted in the US this year. The genetic genie is out of the bottle.However, like any
39、 new product entering the food chain, GM foods must be subjected to careful testing. In wealthy countries, the debate about biotech is not so fierce by the fact that they have a large number of foods to choose from, and a supply that goes beyond the needs. In developing countries desperate to feed f
40、astgrowing and underfed populations, the matter is simpler and much more urgent: do the benefits of biotech outweigh the risks?The statistics on population growth and hunger are disturbing. Last year the worlds population reached 6 billion. The UN states that nearly 800 million people around the wor
41、ld are unhealthy. About 400 million women of childbearing age don t have enough iron, which means their babies are exposed to various birth defeats.As many as 100 million children suffer from vitamin A deficiency, a leading cause of blindness.How can biotech help? Genetic engineering is widely used
42、to produce plants and animals with better nutritional values. Biotechnologists have developed genetically modified rice and they are working on other kinds of nutritionally improved crops. Biotech can also improve farming productivity in places where food shortages are caused by crop damage attribut
