43、utions in laboratory flasks. The scientistsfound that the nutrition of isolated roots was quite simple. Theyrequired sugar and the usual minerals and vitamins. However,they did not require organic nitrogen compounds. These rootsgot along fine on mineral inorganic nitrogen. Roots are capableof making

44、 their own proteins and other organic compounds.These activities by roots require energy, of course. Theprocess of respiration uses sugar to make the high energycompound ATP, which drives the biochemical reactions.Respiration also requires oxygen. Highly active roots require agood deal of oxygen.The

45、 study of isolated roots has provided an understanding ofthe relationship between shoots and roots in intact plants. Theleaves of the shoots provide the roots with sugar and vitamins,and the roots provide the shoots with water and minerals. Inaddition, roots can provide the shoots with organic nitro

46、gencompounds. This comes in handy for the growth of buds in theearly spring when leaves are not yet functioning. Once leavesbegin photosynthesizing, they produce protein, but only matureleaves can export protein to the rest of the plant in the form ofamino acids.What is the main topic of the passage

47、?A The relationship between a plants roots and itsshoots.B What can be learned by growing roots in isolation.C How plants can be grown without roots.D What elements are necessary for the growth ofplants. 第 12 題The underlined word themselves in Paragraph 1refers toA plant physiologistsB solutionsC la

For example, the vital ingredient in a rose fragrance isextracted from natural rose oil at a cost of

53、 thousands of dollarsa pound; an identical synthetic substance can be made for 1%of this cost. Since the early twentieth century, success inreproducing these substances has created a new industry thattoday produces hundreds of artificial flavors and fragrances.Some natural fragrances are easily synt

54、hesized; these includevanillin, the aromatic ingredient in vanilla, and benzaldehyde,the aromatic ingredient in wild cherries. Other fragrances,however, have dozens, even hundreds of components. Onlyrecently has it been possible to separate and identify theseingredients by the use of gas chromatogra

55、phy andspectroscopy. Once the chemical identity is known, it is oftenpossible to synthesize them. Nevertheless, some complexsubstances, such as the aroma of fresh coffee, have still notbeen duplicated satisfactorily.Many of the chemical compounds making up these syntheticsare identical to those foun

56、d in nature, and are as harmless orharmful as the natural substances. New products must betested for safety, and when used in food, must be approved bythe U.S. Food and Drug Administration.The availability of synthetic flavors and fragrances has madepossible a large variety of products, from inexpen

57、sivebeverages to perfumed soap to used cars with applied newcar odor.From the passage we can learn that _ .A natural flavorings and fragrances are not quite dearB the limitation of natural flavorings and fragrances isclearC the supply of natural flavorings and fragrances isadequate to meet the deman

58、dD the cost of producing natural flavorings andfragrances is high第 22 題Which of the following is true according to thepassage?A Natural rose fragrance is 100 times more expensiveto produce than artificial rose fragrance.B The most important ingredient in a rose fragrance isobtained from natural rose

59、 oil at a low cost.C A different synthetic substance can be made for 1%of the cost.D Natural rose oil costs the same as its fragrances.第 23 題The industry of producing hundreds of artificial flavorsand fragrances probably appeared in _.A 2000B 1953C 1909D 1810第 24 題According to the passage, all the f

60、ollowing are easierto synthesize EXCEPT _ .A aromatic ingredient in vanillaB vanillaC aromatic ingredient in wild cherryD the flavor of fresh coffee第 25 題The underlined word duplicated in Paragraph 2 isclosest in meaning to _.A make doubleB make a copy ofC produce something equal toD take from第 26 題
