Currently there are some 20,000 chemicals in use, but the scientists only have detailed information around 1,000 of them.To see the advantages of GM food you have only to consider the recent press revelation that the average lettuce receives eleven pesticide applications before it reaches the supermarket shelf.I’m sure chemicals and their role in disease will become a big issue in the 21st century as the population of the developed world worries increasingly about its health.
The reason GM food will not go away is that we need a three-fold increase in food production by the year 2050 to keep pace with the world’s predicted population growth to ten or eleven billion.It’s not just a question of more mouths to feed either.What is often forgotten is that all these extra people will take up space, reducing the overall land available for agriculture.
The world has 800 million hungry people.Until now, food supplies have been increased by improved varieties, pesticides and artificial fertilizers: the green revolution.Now we’re on the edge of a new one: a genetic revolution.
It may well be that in the long term it is the developing world that benefits most from GM food.It is true that for the next years or so GM crops may be too expensive.
6. According to the passage, food supplies have been increased by all the following except_____________.
A.pesticides
B.artificial fertilizers
C.improved varieties
D.transportation
7.How many chemicals are still less familiar to the scientists?()
A.20,000.
B.1,000
C.19,000
D.21,000.
8.Why will people prefer GM food in the future?()
A.Because it uses less pesticides.
B.Because it is much cheaper.
C.Because the production is increased.
D.Because it is organic food.
9.Which of the following is NOT true?()
A.By 2050, the world population will grow to ten or eleven billion.
B.In the 21st century, GM food will take the place of conventional food.
C.More and more people will reduce the overall land available for farming.
D.More and more people will consume more food and occupy more space.
10.The author’s attitude towards GM food is _______.

第9题
spotted an opportunity for a new type of gift packaging. This uses a new process to make waterproof cardboard and
then shapes and cuts the card in such a way to produce a container or vase for holding cut flowers. The containers
can be stored flat and in bulk and then simply squeezed to create the flowerpot into which flowers and water are then
put. The potential market for the product is huge. In the UK hospitals alone there are 200,000 bunches of flowers
bought each year for patients. David’s innovative product does away with the need for hospitals to provide and store
glass vases. The paper vases are simple, safe and hygienic. He has also identified two other potential markets; firstly,
the market for fresh flowers supplied by florists and secondly, the corporate gift market where clients such as car
dealers present a new owner with an expensive bunch of flowers when the customer takes delivery of a new car. The
vase can be printed using a customer’s design and logo and creates an opportunity for real differentiation and impact
at sales conferences and other high profile PR events.
David anticipates a rapid growth in Gift Designs as its products become known and appreciated. The key question is
how quickly the company should grow and the types of funding needed to support its growth and development. The
initial financial demands of the business have been quite modest but David has estimated that the business needs
£500K to support its development over the next two years and is uncertain as to the types of funding best suited to
a new business as it looks to grow rapidly. He understands that business risk and financial risk is not the same thing
and is looking for advice on how he should organise the funding of the business. He is also aware of the need to avoid
reliance on friends and family for funding and to broaden the financial support for the business. Clearly the funding
required would also be affected by the activities David decides to carry out himself and those activities better provided
by external suppliers.
Required:
(a) Provide David with a short report on the key issues he should take into account when developing a strategy
for funding Gift Designs’ growth and development. (10 marks)
