问题     Genetically modified(GM)foodstuffs are here to stay. That’s not to say that food produced by【C1】______agriculture will disappear,【C2】______simply that food buying patterns will polarize.

We have been【C17】______species of wheat for several thousand years. Genetic engineers like me are not doing anything as【C18】______as making a cabbage into a cauliflower—【C19】______has been done by plant breeders in the past. We’re simply tapping into the whole gene pool,【C20】______concentrating on one species at a time."
