B. Since the 1960s, scientists have been analyzing the mysteries of the sugar cane’s genetic code.20世纪60年代起，科学家们就一直在破解甘蔗遗传密码之谜。

C. One major gene has been identified by Dr. Angelique D’Hont and her team in Montpelier, France.

D. The majority of the world’s sugar now comes from this particular commercial species.

世界上大多数的糖来自这种特殊的商业物种。

E. Sugar cane is now much more vigorous and the supply of sugar is therefore more guaranteed.

如今甘蔗的生命力越来越旺盛，蔗糖的供应量也越来越有保证。

F. Unfortunately, however, the plant started to become weaker and more prone to disease.

The Tough Grass That Sweetens Our Lives

坚强的作物甜蜜了我们的生活

1.Sugar cane was once a wild grass that grew in New Guinea and was used by local people for roofing their houses and fencing their gardens. Gradually a different variety evolved which contained sucrose (蔗糖) and was chewed on for its sweet taste.

Over time, sugar cane became a highly valuable commercial plant, grown throughout the world. (46)

随着时间的推移，甘蔗成为了一种价值极高的商业性植物，种植地区遍布全球。 (46)

【解析】前面的句子中有商业性植物，D选项中有商业性物种。前面的句子说遍布全球。D选项说世界上大多数的糖。

【答案】D. The majority of the world’s sugar now comes from this particular commercial species.

2.Sugar became a vital ingredient in all kinds of things, from confectionery(糖果点心) to medicine, and, as the demand for sugar grew, the industry became larger and more profitable. (47) Many crops withered(枯萎) and died, despite growers attempts to save them and there were fears that the health of the plant would continue to deteriorate.

蔗糖成了各种食品的重要成分，糖果点心中有，药品中也有。随着蔗糖需求量的不断增加，制糖业的规模越来越大，利润也越来越高。 ______(47)尽管种植者极力挽救，甘蔗作物还是大量枯萎死亡，人们害怕甘蔗的健康状况不断恶化。

【答案】F. Unfortunately, however, the plant started to become weaker and more prone to disease.

【解析】从前后句的关系可以推断，中间需要一个有转折意义的句子。从五个选项不难看出，F选项是语义连贯，合适的。

3.In the 1960s, scientists working in Barbados looked for ways to make the commercial species stronger and more able to resist disease. They experimented with breeding programs, mixing genes from the wild species of sugar cane, which tends to be tougher, with genes from the more delicate, commercial type. (48). This sugar cane is not yet ready to be sold commercially, but when this happens, it is expected to be incredibly profitable for the industry.

他们对育种程序进行了实验，将野生蔗糖中的基因混合在一起，这样蔗糖会更变得更坚强，基因类型也变得更精致，更商业化。______(48)这种甘蔗现在尚未商业化销售，不过一旦实现商业化，有望为制糖业带来高额利润。

【答案】A. Eventually, a commercial plant was developed which was 5 percent sweeter than before, but also much stronger and less likely to die from disease.

【解析】从前后句可以推断，空格中所缺句子应该是讲科学家培育出了新品种。

4. (49) .Brazil, which produces one quarter of the world’s sugar, has coordinated an international project under professor Paulo Arrudo of the Universidade Estaudual de Campinas in Sao Paulo. Teams of experts have worked with him to discover more about which parts of the genetic structure of the plant are important for the production of sugar and its overall health.

_______(49)。占世界蔗糖市场四分之一份额的巴西，正与圣保罗一所大学合作，开发一个国际蔗糖项目。

【解析】后面的句子将科学家正在进行一项国际计划。三个选项中只有B说的是科学家们就一直在破解甘蔗遗传密码之谜。

【答案】B. Since the 1960s, scientists have been analyzing the mysteries of the sugar cane’s genetic code.
