一连串的干旱及新的疾病,世界很多地方的小麦产量下降。罗尼•斯文奈恩博士现任比利时鲁汶天主教大学作物生
物技术部主任,他保存了世界上1200种香蕉种的一半以上。斯文奈恩博士说:“植物基因资源正在受到快速侵蚀。”他

For years, a hodgepodge network of seed banks has been amassing seed and shoot collections in a haphazard manner. Labs i
|

答案是：种子地库由挪威建造,其日常运作经费来自政府和私人捐款,其中包括来自英国的2000万美元、澳大利亚的1200万美
元、德国的1100万美元以及来自美国的650万美元。因为现在许多农场仅种植一两种高产量作物,所以保存一个物种
丰富的植物基因库的努力显得尤为迫切,像经驯化后执行特定任务的纯种犬一样,这些作物在虫害和气候变化面前特
别脆弱,极易受损。科学家们也正在努力了解更多关于为基因库各类种子编码的技能——这些技能是没有相关记
载、至关重要的知识。最终,植物培育者将能通过访问全球数据库找到可适应某一地区特殊气候挑战的基因种子,如
秸秆能够抵抗暴风雨的玉米或是消耗水份较少的小麦。

What were the major causes of Britain’s relative economic decline in the postwar period?
|
答案是：First, Britain suffered great economic losses in two World Wars and had gone heavily into debt to finance the war. Second, the era of the
British Empire was over. India and other British colonies, which provided raw material & large market for British goods, gained
independence. Third, Britain was forced to maintain an expensive military presence in many overseas locations until the end of 1960s.
Fourth, Britain had to make Substantial financial contributions to NATO and the UN Security Council. Finally, Britain failed to invest in
industry after WWII whereas its competitors like Germany and Japan caught up with Britain by investing in the most modern equipment
and means of production.
