我想问下~~Standard这版的VOA选的是哪个部分的材料？

pickup-562

AU News 20110929中的：
More delays are expected at Melbourne Airport this morning after yesterday's wild weather. A huge storm dumped 48 millimetres of rain on the tarmac. Thousands of passengers were left stranded. The backlog continued well into the night with many people told they have to wait until today to get on board a flight。
请教的问题是，黑体字是在说问题越来越糟糕，还是问题在缓解？谢谢。

Au news 20111012 中
US President Barack Obama has conceded he may have to break up his jobs bill in the face of political paralysis in Washington.

The $445 billion dollar plan is aimed at tackling America's 9 per cent jobless rate.
请教黑体字在句子中的语法位置？signalling是现在分词吗？。谢谢

PCR—the polymerase chain reaction—is a crucial tool. The DNA amplification technique is used in genome sequencing, forensics and the diagnosis of various diseases.

To give researchers more genetic material to work with, a PCR instrument repeatedly heats and cools an original biological sample. Which gives enzymes a chance to replicate the DNA millions of times so it can be more easily analyzed.

请问，黑体it指代的是enzyme还是DNA啊？谢谢。^_^
