An apple that stays fresh for moths has been developed by Australian scientists and could be on shop shelves by next year. Researchers have spent the last 20 years developing the fruit
which they have now claimed （声称） to be &the world's best apple.&
The apple – at this stage known as RS103-130 – stays &crispy& for 14 days in a fruit bowl
but if kept in a fridge will remain fresh for as long as months. Its longevity （持久） is also obtained without GM （真菌） – its disease – resistant qualities come from a gene found in the Asian apple called mauls floribunda.
Tim Mulherin
Primary Industries （第一产业） Minister
said the state government was looking for a commercial supply partner to put the new apple on the market as early as next year.
&The beauty of this fruit is that you can buy it and stick it in a fruit bowl and it will maintain its firmness
texture and crispness for up to 14 days & he said.
&Another advantage is that if it goes into longer term storage
it will retain its freshness for months on end.
“This new variety is sweet and since it is disease－resistant
it requires few or no
fungicides .” “Taste tests carried out so far have been outstanding. Out of the five apple types tasted
the new variety scored the highest – even better than the Pink Lady which is very popular in Britain.&
Scientist Dr Simon Middleton has been working with apples at the Mapplethorpe Research Station since 1980 and said he was impressed by RS103-130. He said that this variety is unique in that it is naturally resistant to black spot （黑斑病）
a disease that costs the apple industry 6 million （more that $ 10 million） a year in Australia alone.
1．In what way is RS103 – 30 different from common apples?
&&&&&& A．It is more expensive.&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& B．It is more beautiful.
&&&&&& C．It can be kept fresh longer.&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& D．It can help resist diseases.
2．The underlined word “fungicides” （in Paragraph 6） probably means “kinds of
&&&&&& A．technologies&&&&&&& B．advertisements&&&& C．packages&&&&&&&&&&&& D．chemicals
3．What do we know about RS 103 – 130?
&&&&&& A．Tests have been carried out on its taste.
&&&&&& B．It sells well in Britain as well as in Australia.
&&&&&& C．Its disease – resistant qualities come from GM.
&&&&&& D．It was developed by scientists 20 years ago.
4．What is the main purpose of the passage?
&&&&&& A．To persuade us to buy RS 103 – 130.
&&&&&& B．To introduce a new type of apple.
&&&&&& C．To show us scientists’ contribution.
&&&&&& D．To tell us how RS103 – 130 was developed.

Henry Ford, the famous U．S．inventor and carmanufacturer, once said, &The busi-ness of America is business．& By this he meant that the U．S．way of life is based on the values of the business world．
Few would argue with Ford&s statement．A brief glimpse at a dailynewspaper vividly shows how many people in the United States think aboutbusiness．For example, nearlyevery newspaper has abusiness section, in which the deals and projects, finance and man-agement,stock prices and labor problems of corporations are reported daily．In addition,business news can appear in some of the unlikeliestplaces．The world of arts and entertain-ment is oftenreferred to as &the entertainment industry& or &showbusiness&．
The positive side of Henry Ford&s statement can be seen in theprosperity that business has brought to U．S．life．One of the most important reasons so many people from all over theworld come to live in the United States is the dream of a better job．Jobs are produced in abundance (大量地) becausethe U．S．economic system isdriven by competition．People be-lieve that this systemcreates more wealth, more jobs, and a materially better way of life．
The negative side of Henry Ford&s statement, however, can be seenwhen the word business is taken to mean big business．And the term big businessreferring to the biggest companies, is seen in opposition to labor．Throughout U．S．historyworking people have had to fight hard for higher wages, better working conditions,and the right to form unions．Today, many of the oldlabor disputes are over, but there is still some employee anxiety．The laying off of thousands of workers to keep expenses low andprofits high cre-ates feelings of insecurity for many．

考点：考查情感类完型填空
点评：本文讲述了一个钱被偷掉的老人写信给上帝，被邮局的工人看见了，为她捐款帮助她度过了感恩节的故事，本文要求考生具有扎实的英语词组、短语、习惯用法等英语搭配的知识，这对于理解文章的逻辑关系特别有利。文章的逻辑关系不外乎列举、原因、结果、让步、对照、补充、目的、条件等关系。解题时应联系上下文寻找相关线索，如某一个词的原词、指代词、同义词、近义词、上义词、下义词和概括词等。但由于我们在做题时不可能总是重复地阅读文章，因此，在做完形填空时要培养一种捕捉并记忆相关信息的能力。
