Britain is facing a sharp rise in its rat population as growing numbers of people leave fast food scraps in the street ,an environment group warned .Keep Britain Tidy said the rodents(啮齿动物)were stopping their traditional hunts underground and were roaming the streets ,tempted by discarded burgers ,pizzas and crisps. “The rat population is on the rise and soon it’ll be as common to see a rodent on our street as it is to see a dog or a cat,” said group Director ,Sue Nelson. The practice of dumping fast food litter and scraps on the street rather than in the trash—with young men the worst offenders—was behind the rise. According to the National Rodent Survey in 2005, Britain’s rat population has grown by nearly one quarter since 2000 and is now estimated at 60 million ,two million more than the human population. On average a rat can give birth every 24—28 days and just a single pair of rats can produce a colony of 2,000 a year. Around 200 people a year get Weil’s Disease –an infection which can lead to liver or kidney(肝肾)failure and eventually death and which is arrived in rat’s waste. To highlight the issue ,Keep Britain Tidy launched a cinema ad entitled “How close do you want them to get?” The ad gave a shocking image of a young woman sleeping in a bed of rots –echoing the nightmare scene from James Herbert’s classic horror tale The Rats, in which mutant rodents begin to prey on(捕食)humans.
64.Where did the rodents use to search for food?
A.In the Street . B.Under the ground.
C.From the trash cans. D.In burger shops.
65.What is the human population now according to the writer?
A.60 million. B.58 million. C.35 million. D.2 million.
66.We may infer from the passage that________.
A.Weil’s Disease will finally end the world
B.pizzas and crisps will become poisonous
C.rats will endanger human beings’ life
D.young people are blame for the rat population
67.By writing the passage, the author tries to________.

As our global population continues to rise, some assessments suggest it could reach nearly 10 billion people by 2050. To feed that many people, we will need to produce quantities of food.
With only 30 seasons of planting and harvest left before the population could hit that 10 billion figure, it’s clear that agriculture has to change, if we are to have any hope of feeding the planet.
Over the past six months I’ve travelled all over Europe speaking to pioneering scientists and engineers, global-thought leaders, and of course, knowledgeable farmers, for the BBC World News and BBC Future series, Follow the Food in order to examine issues around food supply and even find some potential solutions for our future.
One of the most shocking facts I learned is the amount of good and eatable food that gets wasted. According to the United Nations, “A third of all food produced ends up rotting (腐烂) in the dustbins of consumers and markets, or damaging due to poor transportation and harvesting practices.”
Spending time with farmers, producers, and consumers, I quickly saw how our current ways of growing, processing and selling food just aren’t sustainable (可持续的).
The only way we can feed 10 billion people by 2050 is if the farming and food industries become much more sustainable. And that requires changes to the whole model of growing, processing, transporting, storing and selling. It means a lot of businesses and governments need to take action. But so too do we all. Whether that’s going to the market and choosing the most “ugly” vegetables for dinner, encouraging supermarkets to change their labelling to show us the carbon footprint of our food, or using new tech to avoid waste, there’s so much we can do to value our food and its producers.
1.How does the writer feel about the production of enough food by 2050?
A.Optimistic. B.Impossible.
C.Challenging. D.Confident.
2.What is the purpose of the writer’s journey in Europe?
A.To experience various careers in Europe.
B.To have a knowledge of farmers.
C.To become the best host in BBC programs.
D.To make further studies of present situation.
3.What can be inferred from the statement of the United Nations?
A.Plenty of food waste is avoidable.
B.Food production is far from enough.
C.Advanced agriculture is urgently needed.
D.Foods are too fragile to be well stored.
4.What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A.The procedure for food production is complex.
B.Joint efforts are needed to feed 10 billion people.
C.There are great opportunities for food business.
D.Governments should take full responsibility.
