29、(C)The food we eat seems to have a great effect on our health. Although science has made big steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of human illness is related to food and forty percent of canc

30、er is related to food as well. That food is related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945,some researchers realized that things commonly used to keep colours in meats and other food additives（添加剂 ）caused cancer. Yet, these additives remain in our food, and it is difficult to know which things o

31、n the wrappings（包装材料）包装材料包装材料of foods are helpful or harmful. The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin（青霉素,盘尼西林）to their animals, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of cows. Sometimes similar things are supplied to animals not for their

32、health, but just to make a profit.The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to get a higher price on the market.

35、ings of food are harmful.B.Farmers try to make more money on the market by fattening their animals.C.“The practice continues” means “things are still going on like that”.D.We neednt take care of what we eat.DCan trees talk? Yes, but not in words. Scientists have reason to believe that trees do commu

36、nicate (交际) with each other. Not long ago, researchers learned some surprising things. First a willow tree attacked in the woods by caterpillars (毛虫) changed the chemistry of its leaves and made them taste so terrible that they got tired of the leaves and stopped eating them. Then even more astonish

37、ing, the tree sent out a special smell-a signal (信号) causing its neighbors to change the chemistry of their own leaves and make them less tasty.Communication, of course, doesnt need to be in words. We can talk to each other by smiling, raising our shoulders and moving our hands. We know that birds a

38、nd animals use a whole vocabulary of songs, sounds, and movements. Bees dance their signals, flying in certain patterns that tell other bees where to find nectar (花蜜) for honey. So why shouldnt trees have ways of sending message?56It can be concluded from the passage that caterpillars do not feed on

39、 leaves that _. Aare lying on the ground Bhave an unpleasant taste Cbees dont like Dhave an unfamiliar shape57The willow tree described in the passage protected itself by _.
