Chinese astronauts have s____2____ grown rice seedlings（幼苗）during the Shenzhou XIV mission. The researcher said, “The rice seedlings are growing very well.” Since the rice experiment b____3____ on July 29, the seedlings of the tall shoot rice variety（高杆水稻品种）have reached a height of 30 centimeters. The seedlings of the dwarf rice variety have grown to 5 centimeters, China Daily reported on August 30, 2022.

A____4____ there have been other rice experiments in space, this one is the first of its kind to produce the complete life cycle（周期）of a plant—it starts with a seed and ends with a grown plant producing new seeds.

Such food-growing experiments are not o____5____ for astronauts. They can solve food problems on Earth. By sending seeds to space, we can create mutated（突变的）seeds that can produce higher yields（产量）on Earth.

For more than 30 years, China has d____6____ over 260 new types of seeds in space. They are planted on Earth every year.

According to Yao Tong, an engineer from Hainan Aerospace Engineering Breeding Research Center, 30% of strawberries sold in Beijing are “space strawberries”, which are as big as eggs. The center has also produced “space tomatoes” with yields increased by 30%, and “space bananas” with a s____7____ growth cycle from 13 months to 9 months.

答案：topic；successfully；began；Although；only；developed；shorter

 

句子分析：

1.Although there have been other rice experiments in space, this one is the first of its kind to produce the complete life cycle of a plant.

解释：Although there have been other rice experiments in space是让步状语从句，其中用了there be的现在完成时。the first of its kind to produce the complete life cycle of a plant中，动词不定式做the first of its kind的后置定语。

 

2.According to Yao Tong, an engineer from Hainan Aerospace Engineering Breeding Research Center, 30% of strawberries sold in Beijing are “space strawberries”, which are as big as eggs.

解释：an engineer from Hainan Aerospace Engineering Breeding Research Center是同位语。which are as big as eggs是非限制性定语从句，先行词是space strawberries。

 

 

译文：

自从20世纪50年代人类将第一颗卫星送入太空以来，科学家们一直在研究一个重要的课题：如果人类有一天生活在那里，该如何在太空中种植植物。天宫最近在空间站进行的一次实验向前迈出了一大步。

中国宇航员在神舟十四号任务中成功种植了水稻幼苗。研究人员说：“水稻幼苗长得很好。”自7月29日水稻试验开始以来，高茎稻品种的幼苗高度已达到30厘米高。据《中国日报》2022年8月30日报道，矮米品种的幼苗已经长到了5厘米。

虽然在太空中有其他水稻实验，但这是第一个产生植物完整生命周的水稻实验——它从种子开始，以生长的植物产生新种子结束。

这种食物种植实验不仅仅适用于宇航员。它们可以解决地球上的食物问题。通过将种子送到太空，我们可以创造出突变种子，从而在地球上有更高的产量。

30多年来，中国已经在太空中开发出了260多种新型种子。它们每年都被种

植在地球上。

 据海南航空航天工程育种研究中心的工程师姚彤说，在北京出售的草莓中有30%是“太空草莓”，它和鸡蛋一样大。该中心还生产了“太空番茄”，产量增加了30%，而“太空香蕉”的生长周期更短，从13个月增加到9个月。
