18、 grow well in still water. But most will die if they are completely underwater for more than four days. Now, researchers have identified a gene (基因 ) that helps rice survive longer underwater. They say the discovery will lead to new kinds of rice plants that can survive flooding, and therefore reach

19、 their final aim, ensuring more dependable food supplies. Tests are now being done in Laos, Bangladesh and India. The researchers say experimental rice plants with the gene have survived underwater as long as two weeks. When flooding happens, most kinds of rice plants cannot get enough oxygen, carbo

20、n dioxide or sunlight. But the scientists say crop loss depends on several conditions. These include soil conditions and plant age. Others include the amount of time the plant is underwater and the amount of fertilizer (肥料 ) used on the crop. On a genetic (遗传的 ) map of rice, the scientists became in

21、terested in a group of three genes. They experimented with one of them, a gene known as Sub-One-A. They found that when this gene becomes very active, it improves the ability of rice to survive longer when rice is covered by water. They believe it succeeds because it affects the reaction to hormones

22、 (荷尔蒙 ). They control the ability of a flooded plant to survive. Placing the gene into rice plants that are especially good for conditions in India, researchers say the genetically engineered plants not only survived but also produced good crops. The researchers are now trying to identify all the ge

23、nes governed by the Sub-One-A gene. Being able to leave water on rice plants for an additional week might also help farmers prevent the growth of weeds. Less weed growth around their crops would mean less need for herbicide (除草剂 ) chemicals. 41. Crop loss depends on all the following conditions EXCE

24、PT _. A. soil conditions and plant age B. the amount of water the plant stands in C. the amount of fertilizer used on the crop D. the amount of time the plant is underwater 42. What is the final aim of this research? A. To identify the gene that helps rice survive underwater. B. To increase the abil

25、ity of rice to fight against floods. C. To help farmers spend less time removing weeds. D. To make sure of enough food supplies. 43. What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Genes. B. The experiments. C. Genetically engineered plants. D. Hormones. 44. What would be the best t

26、itle for the passage? A. Rice research is going on in Laos and India B. How to reduce the influence of floods on rice C. Gene researchers work on flood-resistant rice D. A great discovery in the agricultural field B People fell in love with Elizabeth Taylor in 1944, when she starred in National Velv

27、et-the story of Velvet Brown, a young girl who wins first place in a famous horse race, At first, the producers of the movie told Taylor that she was too small to play the part of Velvet. However, they waited for her for a few months as she exercised and trainedand added three inches to her height i

28、n four months! Her acting in National Velvet is still considered the best by a child actress. Elizabeth Taylor was born in London in 1932. Her parents, both Americans, had moved there for business reasons. When World war II started, the Taylor moved to Beverly Hills, California, and there Elizabeth

29、started acting in movies. After her success as a child star, Taylor had no trouble moving into adult(成人 )roles and won twice for Best Actress: Butterfield 8(1960) and Whos Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966) Taylors fame(名声 )and popularity gave her a lot of power with the movie industry, so she was abl

30、e to demand very high pay for her movies. In 1963, she received $1 million for her part in Cleopatrathe highest pay received by any star up to that time. Elizabeth Taylor is a legend (传奇人物 ) of our time. Like Velvet Brown in National Velvet, she has been lucky, she has beauty, fame and wealth. But s

31、he is also a hard worker. Taylor seldom acts in movies any more. Instead, she puts her time and efforts into her businesses, and into helping others several years ago, she founded an organization that has raised more than $40 million for research and education. 45.

35、turning the map so it follows the direction you re traveling in. Keep looking ahead so that you can give the driver lots of warning before having to make a turn, or youll have to move to the back seat. Get a group of friends together and go exploring. Youll need a good map, a compass (指南针 ), a rainc

36、oat, a cell phone to call for help in case you get lost, and a bit of spare cash for emergencies (应急现金 ). Tell someone where youre going before you set out and let them know what time you expect to be back. The test is in not getting lost, not in seeing how fast you can go, so always stick together,

37、 waiting for slower friends to catch up. See if your school or a club organizes orienteering activities, in which you need a map and a compass to find your way. This can be done as a sport, with teams trying to find the way from A to B (and B to C, etc. ) in the fastest time, or simply as a spare-ti

38、me activity. Either way, its not only good fun, but a great way to keep fit. 49. Sitting beside the driver, you should _.

At the underside of the shelf there lives a small fish, the Antarctic cod. For forty years

41、scientists have been curious about that fish. How does it live where most fish would freeze to death? It must have some secret. The Antarctic is not a comfortable place to work and research has been slow. Now it seems we have an answer. Research was begun by cutting holes in the ice and catching the

42、 fish. Scientists studied the fishs blood and measured its freezing point. The fish were taken from seawater that had a temperature of -1.88 and many tiny pieces of ice floating in it. The blood of the fish did not begin to freeze until its temperature was lowered to -2.05 . That small difference is

43、 enough for the fish to live at the freezing temperature of the ice-salt mixture. The scientists next research job was clear: Find out what in the fishs blood kept it from freezing. Their search led to some really strange thing made up of a protein(蛋白质 ) never before seen in the blood of a fish. Whe

44、n it was removed, the blood froze at seawater temperature. When it was put back, the blood again had its antifreeze quality and a lowered freezing point. Study showed that it is an unusual kind of protein. It has many small sugar molecules(分子 ) held in special positions within each big protein molec

45、ule. Because of its sugar content. It is called a glycoprotein. So it has come to be called the antifreeze fish glycoprotein. Or AFGP. 52. What is the text mainly about? A. The terrible conditions in the Antarctic. B. A special fish living in freezing waters. C. The ice shelf around Antarctica. D. P

46、rotection of the Antarctic cod. 53. Why can the Antarctic cod live at the freezing temperature? A. The seawater has a temperature of -1.88 . B. It loves to live in the ice-salt mixture. C. A special protein keeps it from freezing. D. Its blood has a temperature lower than -2.05 . 54. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to? A. A type of ice-salt mixture. B. A newly found protein. C. Fish blood.
