ems． Eunice Shriver was best known for creating the Special Olympics, an athletic event for people with mental（精神上的） disabilities． Her efforts changed the way the world thinks about the mentally disabled． Mrs． Shriver officially became involved in helping people with developmental problems when she became the executive vicepresident of a family anization in 1957． The Joseph P． Kennedy Junior Foundation was created in 1946 to honor her oldest brother, who died fighting in World War Two． Under her guidance, the foundation turned its attention to studying the causes of mental disabilities． It also sought to improve the way the society treats people with such disabilities． The foundation also started centers for the study of medical ethics（ 医德 ） at Harvard University and Geetown University． Eunice Shriver and her family had a personal reason to be interested in this issue． Her older sister, Rosemary Kennedy, was born mentally retarded（ 智力迟钝的 ）． As Rosemary grew older, she became increasingly difficult to live with and supervise（ 监督 ）． When she was in her twenties, her father arranged for her to have an operation on her brain（脑） to improve her mental condition． But the operation left her pletely disabled． Her family later sent her to a care center where she lived until her death in 2020. In the past, mental disability was generally treated as a shameful and hopeless disease． And, there were almost no munity activities, resources or jobs for the mentally disabled． They were shut away with little respect． Eunice Shriver changed this． She showed the world that the mentally disabled could be useful citizens enjoying rich lives. 61． By saying “she never ran for office” in Paragraph 1, the author may probably mean ____. A． Shriver was too poor to own an office at that time B． Shriver didn’t want to be an official through her work C． Shriver didn’t need to walk to her office then D． Shriver always stayed at home working for the disabled 62． Eunice Shriver’s greatest contribution might be ____. A． anizing an athletic event for the mentally disabled B． devoting her life to improving people’s lives C． honoring those who died fighting in World War Two D． helping the mentally disabled to learn knowledge 63． According to the passage, the Joseph P． Kennedy Junior Foundation____. A． tried to persuade the government to treat the disabled better B． was considered as the center of Harvard University C． once made some reforms with the help of Shriver D． mainly studied what caused bad medical ethics 64． What caused Eunice Shriver to be interested in the mentally disabled? A． Her parents’ encouragement． B． Her oldest brother’s death． C． Her own experiences． D． Her mentally undeveloped sister． 65． What can we infer from the passage? A． A large number of the disabled are used to living as goodfornothing persons. B． The human rights of the disabled are being protected better than ever. C． People with mental disabilities must receive operations on the brain. D． The mentally disabled may receive more respect nowadays. C One cause of the current food crisis is drou ght． Food prices are high in part because of dry weather in places as far distant as Spain and Australia． Around the world, the amount of land affected by drought has doubled in the past thirty years． And scientists concerned about climate change believe it will cause more drought in many areas in the future. A lot of research is going into efforts to develop droughtresistant crops． One project involves tobacco plants geically engineered to keep their leaves during water shortages． They chose tobacco because it has big leaves． Also, it grows fast and has structural similarities with some other plants. The researchers did an experiment with two groups of tobacco plants． They worked with a set of normal plants and a set of transgenic plants． These had a gene added to interfere with the biological causes of leaf loss during drought. The researchers put all the plants in a greenhouse to grow under normal conditions for forty days． Then, for fifteen days after that, the plants did not receive any water. The normal plants lost their green color． Finally, they lost their leaves． But the researchers say the transgenic plants kept their leaves and their color. After the fifteen dry days, all the plants were watered again for a week． The transgenic plants returned to normal growth, and their seed production was close to normal． But the other plants all died. In addition, the researchers found that the plants could survive on only thirty percent of the normal amount of irrigation water． Yield loss was minor, they said. The findings appeared late 2020 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences． The University of California has applied for patent protection for the technology. The researchers expect to move forward with field testing of the transgenic tobacco in late August． They hope for similar results with crops like tomatoes, rice, wheat and cotton. 66． It can be inferred from Paragraph1 that _______ A． the amount of land affected by drought has doubled in the past thirty years in the world B． drought is the only cause to lead to the current food crisis. C． food prices will be higher in the future with the drought areas extending D． food prices has nothing to do with the climate change in the world 67． One project chooses tobacco plants because __________ A． planting tobacco can bring in great profits． B． tobacco plants have large leaves and structural similarities with some other plants C． tobacco plants grows fast D． Both B and C 68． From the beginning to the end, the experiment with two groups of tobacco plants lasts for at least _______ days A． 40 B． 55 C． 62 D． 77 69． The。
