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】________
【C6】
选项
A、interrupts
B、upsets
C、accuses
D、shocks
答案
B
解析
空格前的This指代上一段所述内容,即转基因农作物种种“非自然的”优势,而本段的unnatural“非天然的”、warns“警告”、causes“引起……问题”则说明了人们对转基因食品的疑虑,故填入的词应含负面义,因此B项upsets“使……不安,心烦”符合上下文语义逻辑。原文并未提到“某些人在做某件事情”,因此没有“打断某些人”一说,故排除A项interrupts“中断,打断”。accuse“控告”通常用于词组be accused of中,用于此,结构上不符合,故排除C项。D项shocks“使……震惊”有很强的干扰性,但本段中的unnatural,warns等词表达的是让人担忧,而非震惊,故排除D。
