This means the grains will have more starch while the root will exude less nutrients that will later be turned into methane by microbes （微生物） in the soil, Sun, who works with Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, told Xinhua.“It solves two major problems mankind faces at one time: environmental degradation and the n eed for in creased grain output,” Wang Feng, ano ther scie ntist, said, add ing that the rice can cut metha ne discharge by more tha n 90 perce nt duri ng summer and more tha n half duri ng autu mn, as the rice displays a greater emissi on reduct ion effect in high temperature s. Mean while, small-scale trials have also suggested an in creased output: a sin gle pla nt of the new breed has 300 more grains with a starchcontent 10 perce nt higher. Wang said the team is work ing on applicati ons for the rice in differe nt areas,seas onsand using differe nt farming tech niq ues. It 'still far away from mass applicati on, but atleast we see the light of hope.Huma n-i nduced metha ne, though less abundant tha n carb on dioxide in the air, is responsible for 20 percent of the global warming effect. Rice paddies are the largest single source of methane linked to human activity. According to the Ministry of Agriculture, China produces 209 million tons of rice in 2014, or 28 percent of the worlds total of 734 million.33. SUSIBA2 Rice will be a major breakthrough because _____ .A. it tastes with a barley flavor.B. it well bala nces en vir onmen tal protect ion and grains in crease.C. it contains more starch than the ordinary rice.D. it gives off less metha ne in summer tha n in win ter.34. What can we learn from the text?A. Scientists will soon grow the new rice in large areas.B. Huma n-related metha ne con tributes most to global warmi ng.C. Chi na may con tribute greatly to global warmi ng reducti on.D. Rice fields will be reduced all over the world.35. The purpose of this writing is to _______ .A. ask people to cut down on their dependence on rice consumption.B. draw people s atte ntio n to the serious con seque nces of global warm ing.C . in troduce a new kind of gen etically-modified rice and its possible ben efits.D . in dicate huma n-related metha ne alone is to blame for global warmi ng effects.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
