解答 答案：A．根据many people are excited about GM food可知许多人对转基因食品感到兴奋；根据these technologies frighten others可知这些技术却使其他人害怕，因此前后句之间是转折对比关系，所以答案是A while表示"虽然，尽管"．其他选项的含义分别是B"当…的时候"；C"如果，是否"；D"除非"．

（2）引导让步状语从句，多用于句首．意为"尽管，虽然"．
eg．While I admit his good points I can see his bad．尽管我承认他的长处，但我也看到了他的不足．
（3）While作并列连词用，意思为"而，然而"，表前后意义上的对比或转折．

11．In a recent airing of"Unsolved Mysteries"，there was a young boy who was the victim of the  holocaust（大屠杀）．He'd been（1）Bin a work camp for several years and somehow had managed to  survive the（2）A of his imprisonment．
The story was of a boy-now in his sixties-ad his quest to find an American soldier who had（3）Da kindness to him by（4）Bsome food．It might seem（5）C，but to this child，who had seen  nothing but（6）Dand inhumanity for as long as he could remember，it was a（7）Cthat marked a  turning point in his life，for he had lost hope．When he was liberated by the American forces，he was dying．He，（8）D needed food．As he was staggering along the road a young soldier（9）B down from his tank and gave him some of his supplies．With this one act of generosity，a kind American had aroused the（10）Dagain that there really was some good in the world．And the boy never（11）A it．The boy later went to America，raised a family，became successful and worked hard to repay the（12）C he had received with his own．

15．Are you a bookworm？Is your head stuck in a book for long？If so，that's a good thing．There are many benefits to reading．Getting into a good novel improves our literacy（读写能力）．But who or what encourages us to pick up a book and start reading？
    Of course，when we are young，our parents and teachers inspire us by introducing us to  characters that we love-or love to hate．And there are the authors-the people who invent and write about these characters．Good writing can really catch our imagination．
    One modern-day children's author is J．K．Rowling，who's known for her books about the wizard，Harry Potter．Last year she was named as a‘literacy hero'for her part in improving people's love of reading．The UK's National Literacy Trust awarded her the title for"turning a generation of children into readers．"
    The Trust also honoured schoolchildren，a librarian and teachers for their effort in trying to get people to read．The actor，Henry Winkler，who has dyslexia（阅读障碍），Was also named for the books he has written about a boy with learning difficulties．
    Reading books is more than an enjoyable pastime；it can also help people in difficult circumstances．The author Pat Winslow worked as a writer in prisons and found reading and discussing stories helped prisoners reflect on their patterns of behaviour．She says"Very often we would have discussions about the moral compass of a character，what was the motivation of
somebody，why did they behave that way？"
    Today I like to read factual books such as biographies，where you get an insight into the lives of important and well-known people．I also enjoy looking at travel books and learning about journeys and new destinations．It's a good substitute if you can't visit in person．
    But the main benefit of reading is the improvement it brings to our literacy．The more we do it，the better we get and who knows-one day you may become the next Tolstoy，Jackie  Collins or even William Shakespeare．

16．California has a new program called the Digital Textbook Initiative．"Starting this fall with high school math and science，we will be the first state in the nation to provide schools with a state-approved list of digital textbooks．"That was Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in June，talking about his effort to get schools to use materials available free online．He listed reasons why he thinks digital textbooks make sense．
California approves traditional textbooks in six-year cycles．Digital ones can offer the latest information．They lighten the load of school bags．They save paper and trees，and make learning more fun and interactive．And above all，he said，they help schools with their finances．
The state has had to make severe cuts in school spending because of deep financial problems．More than six million students attend California public schools．
Earlier this year，California invited content developers to offer digital math and science materials for high schools．These had to meet at least 90% of the state's learning requirements．Specially trained teachers examined 16 textbooks and approved ten of them．Six of the ten were published by the CK 12 Foundation，a nonprofit group that had been developing digital science and math books for about two years．The foundation paid teachers and other education professionals to write and edit them．The money came from a group financed by the Khosla Family．
California cannot require schools to use the digital textbooks．Individual school districts will have to decide for themselves．Susan Martimo，a California Department of Education official，says she does not expect widespread use right away．Her best guess is that some schools with a lot of technology will be the first to use them，but only in addition to their traditional books．
School administrators point out that the texts may be free online，but students need a way to access them．Not everyone has a computer or electronic reader．Schools could print out copies，but that would not help the environment．Also，there is the cost to train teachers to use digital textbooks effectively．

36．The Digital Textbook InitiativeD．
A．will probably take effect in six years
B．covers all the high school subjects
C．has been approved by all states
D．is advocated by California state governor
37．Digital textbooks are most meaningful in that they are toA．
A．help save money                  
B．benefit the environment
C．provide interesting materials    
D．reduce students'heavy burden
38．Which of the following is TRUE of the CK 12 Foundation？D
A．It publishes all the books for students free of charge                   
B．It provides money to write and edit all the textbooks in the USA
C．It is organized and supported by Khosla Family                   
D．It offers digital math and science materials for high schools
39．According to Susan Martimo，digital textbooks willC．
A．come into fashion from now on
B．soon replace traditional ones
C．first be adopted by well-equipped schools
D．surely be approved by school districts
40．It can be inferred from the last paragraph thatB．
A．schools are reluctant to print out copies
B．the program is not easy to carry out
C．students have no access to the computers
D．teachers fail to use the textbooks effectively．
