It's already tens of years ________ the world's population reached five billion.

A. before B. after

C. since D. until

C 【解析】句意：自從世界人口達(dá)到五十億以來，已經(jīng)有幾十年了。考查連詞辨析題。四個選項(xiàng)都可用于表示時間。A. before在……之前；B. after在……之后；C. since自從，后接時間段或從句，表示一段時間；D. until直到……才，多與not連用。本句it是形式主語，since引導(dǎo)的從句是真正主語，根據(jù)句意結(jié)構(gòu)和語境，可知ABD三項(xiàng)意思都與句意不合，故選C。

科目：初中英語 來源：江蘇南京建鄴區(qū)2018屆初三一模英語Word 題型：填空

The population of Earth is still going up. There will be less and less good land for growing crops in the future. People worry that there will not be enough food for everyone in the middle of this century.

Recently scientists have discovered one strange plant

named fedtschenkoi（玉吊鐘）may help. It can absorb（吸收）carbon dioxide(CO₂)

at night. It only needs 10 times less water than food plants like beans. This means it

can grow in the desert(沙漠).

In which ways could this plant help us?

Since deserts are increasing in size because of the changes in Earth’s climate, growing plants there will be more and more important. Although it is dangerous to

eat this plant, scientists can still study something about it: how it absorbs CO₂ at

night while many other plants only do this during the day, and why it is suited to the

desert.

There is another direction to take the research in. Producing a desert plant to eat

will be difficult, but there is still possibility to use the genes(基因)from this plant and put them into food plants.

The other way is to grow this type of plant for fuel(燃料). At the moment we

grow plants for fuel in good land. If we do it in deserts instead, more good land can be used to grow plants for food.

Desert plants have special qualities, which could be an answer to our future food

or energy needs. Scientists are working hard on it.

The Desert Plant Could Help
