35.A这是一篇议论文。文章主要讲了基因工程是一门非常新的科学，关于它能带来的好处和它能造成的破坏，我们有很多东西要学习。【32题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段Plantbreederstrytocreateaspecificoutcomeofplantsandpotentiallynewplantvarietiesbychangingthegenesoftheplantsthroughbreeding,whichismakingnewplantsfromparentsofdifferentvarietiesorspecies.（植物育种家试图通过育种改变植物的基因来创造植物和潜在的新植物品种的特定结果，即从不同品种或物种的亲本培育新植物）可知植物育种的目的是生产新的植物品种，故选C。【33题详解】细节理解题。根据倒数第四段However,geneticallyengineeredplantscancauseunexpectedproblems.可知作者认为杂交是错误的，是因为有时会产生问题，故选B。【34题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段Geneticengineeringisaverynewscienceandwehavealottolearnaboutthegooditcandoandthedamageitcancause.Themainconcernisthatnotenoughtestsarebeingdonetoensureitissafe.（基因工程是一门非常新的科学，关于它能带来的好处和它能造成的破坏，我们有很多东西要学习。主要的问题是没有进行足够的测试来确保它是安全的。）由此推断出，作者对杂交的态度是客观的，故选C。【35题详解】推理判断题。文章首段引出了基因工程这个话题，接下来从三个方面说明了基因工程益处，又从两个方面阐述了基因工程的弊端，故选A。19.BRITAINisapopulartouristplace,buttoursofthecountryhaveprosandcons.GOODNEWSFreemuseums.Nochargeforoutstandingcollectionsofartandantiquities.Popmusic.BritainistheonlycountrytocompetewiththeUSonthisscore.Blackcabs.Londontaxidriversknowwheretheyaregoingevenifthereareneverenoughofthematweekendsornight.Choiceoffood.VisitorscanfindeverythingfromJapanesetoSwedishrestaurants.Fashion.NotonlydofashionjunkieslovedeeplyandrespecthighlybrandnamessuchasVivienneWestwood,AlexanderMcQueen;streetstylesarejustlyloved,too.BADNEWSPoorservice.“It’spartoftheimageoftheplace.Peoplecandineoutontherudenesstheyhaveexperienced,”saysProfessorTonySeaton,ofLutonUniversity’sInternationalTourismResearchCenter.Poorpublictransport.Trainsandbusesarepromisedtodisappoi
