25、 enable rice to survive high water, providing hope for better rice production in lowland areas that are affected by flooding.The genes, called SNORKEL genes, help rice grow longer stems to deal with higher water levels. Deepwater rice generally produces low-yield (低產(chǎn)的) rice plants. But the researche

26、rs report they have succeeded in introducing the genes to rice varieties that are higher-yield.According to the report, as water levels rise, accumulation(聚集) of the plant hormone (激素) ethylene (乙烯) makes the SNORKEL genes start working, making stem growth more rapid. When the researchers introduced

27、 the genes into rice that does not normally survive in deep water, they were able to rescue the plants from drowning.Motoyuki Ashikari, who headed the project, said his team is hoping to use the gene on long grain rice widely used in Southeast Asian to help stabilize(使穩(wěn)固) production in flood-prone (

28、易受洪水襲擊的）areas where rice with the flood-resistant gene is low in production -about one-third to one-quarter that of regular rice."Scientifically, the gene that we found is rare but clear proof of a biological ability to adapt to a harsh(嚴酷的) environment," he said. "It's a genetic

29、strategy specifically to survive flooding."High water levels in rice field can be a serious problem. In some areas, rains can cause water levels to rise dangerously high during the growing season and flash flooding can fully submerge plants for days or even weeks.Rice is a main food for billion

30、s, and while productivity has increased dramatically since the 1960s, yields must be doubled to meet projected requirements by 2050. More than 30 percent of Asian and 40 percent of African rice land is either lowland field or deepwater field.Laurentius of Utrecht University said the study is signifi

31、cant because high-yield rice varieties cannot survive extremes of floods. "The introduction of these genes into high-yield varieties, using advanced breeding strategies, promises to improve the quality and quantity of rice," he said.29. What is the main character of SNORKEL genes?A. They p

32、revent rice from being attacked by various diseases.B. They help rice grow taller in highland regions.C. They make rice grow tall enough to survive in deep water.D. They make rice be ripe within a shorter time.30. According to Ashikari, the rice with the gene his team found _.A. will be helpful for

33、Southeast Asia B. has been widely used in Southeast AsiaC. will be one third more expensive than regular riceD. is lower in production than regular rice31. The underlined word“submerge”in the sixth paragraph probably means _.A. coverB. damageC. produceD. killDLooking back on my childhood. I am convi

34、nced that naturalists are born and not made. Although we were brought up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed flowers and insects. Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages. I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic. Before Word War I we

35、spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a crystal(清澈的) clear memory of dogs, the farm animals, the loca

36、l birds and above all, the insects.I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love of the natural world, and my enthusiasm has led me into varied investigations. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil reading about other peoples observations and discoveries.

37、 Then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious(意識清醒的) mind. Suddenly you fancy(想象) you see the answer to the riddle. Because it all seems to fit together .This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books. Which some may light honor, with the title of scientifi

38、c research.But curiosity a keen eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist? One of the outstanding and essential qualities required is self-discipline, a quality I lack. A scientist can be made a naturalist. If you can combine the two, you get the best of

39、both worlds. 32. According to the author, a born naturalist should first of all be _ A. full of ambitionB. self-disciplinedC. full of enthusiasmD. knowledgeable33.

43、cing for the market. 37 If people stop buying tomatoes, you will stop producing them. If you take care of a sick person to earn money, you are producing for the market. If your father is a steel worker or a truck driver or a doctor or a grocer, he is producing goods or service for the market. 38 You

44、 may spend money in stores, supermarkets, gas stations and restaurants. Still you are buying from the market.

50、e was noted for her jam and for never _51_ the recipe with anyone else. _52_my mother knew the recipe by heart, as long as Aunt Fannie was alive, she _53_ made the jam without Ms. Cratty in our kitchen to direct the process and preserve the secret. One year, after I had been particularly helpful wit

51、h the jam process Aunt Fannie gave me a _54_ and then made me promise that I would never spend it. "_55_ this quarter," she said, "and some day you will be rich. I still have my very first quarter given by my grandfather." It had obviously _56_ for her. So I followed her advice.

52、I now have the blueberry jam recipe and the quarter from Aunt Fannie. In people's eye Aunt Fannie's _57_was attributed to that secret recipe. But to me, it was just a _58_recipe. However, I keep them as _59_to hold firmly the valuable things in life. Money can make you feel rich for a while,
