The breakthrough was conducted in the Wentlan space laboratory,which was launched into orbit on July 24,2022.Three astronauts were conducting the experiment smoothly and testing the plants according to the plan. "The rice seedlings are growing very well,"said Zheng Huiqiong,a researcher of the task,adding that the experiment also contained seedlings of a small flowering plant often used by scientists to study mutations()."The astronauts will keep monitoring the plants,and if it is successful,they will collect the newly produced seeds and bring them back to Earth for further studies,"she noted The flowering stage is-crucial for plant reproductive development."We want to investigate how microgravity can affect the plant flowering time and whether it is possible to use the microgravity environment to control the related process,"she said. Since the 1980s,China has been taking seeds of rice and other crops to space to help them mutate and produce higher yelds once they were planted on Barth.But growing rice in orbit is a differestthallenge due to the tough conditions of space such as microgravity and lack of air. Rice has been a main food for astronauts since the early days of space exploration.Freeze-dried chicken and rice was the menu for the Apollo 1/mission,which carried the first humans to land on the moon in July 1969. "But if we want to land on and explore Mars,bringing food from Earth is not enough to provide for the astronauts'long journey and mission in space.We have to find a food source for long term space explorations,"Zheng added. 12.What's the significance of Chinese recent space rice experiment? A.It enables human beings to move to another planet. B.It helps people get a better idea of the human life cycle. C.It mspires more other countries to do space explorations D.It makes it possible to earry our long-term space missions 13.What does the underlined word "it"in paragraph 3 refer to? A.The mutation. B.The experiment.C.The exploration. D.The space mission. 14.Why have crop seeds been brought to space since the last century? To promote genetic changes and increase crop harvest. B.To figure out how to create an earth-like environment. C.To study the impact of microgravity on crop growth. D.To develop new crop species with strong ability to adapt. 15.Where is the text most probably from? A.A medical report. B.A fashion magazine. C.A science newspaper. D.A history book. 第4员共8页 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，榜分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 If you're a high school student,you have a lot of scholarship resources available to you.Here are some tips on how to get college scholarships.

We lived in a small house with a modest yard where we grew vegetables-my responsibility.While I took pride in watching them grow,there were times when I dreamed of having a beautiful garden like my schoolmate Lnella's,with its delicate tulips ()Although Luella lived in the same neighborhood as me,we barely knew each other. It was after a tornado that Luella and I finally became close friends. The tornado struck on a Sunday afternoon.The gentle breeze transformed into a strong wind,and thick gray clouds filled the sky.Gradually,the tornado took shape,starting as a thin rope and growing into a large black funnel ()My entire family gathered in the bathroom,seeking shelter from the storm.Terrified,I sat close to my mom,knees in my chest.After the storm had passed,our worries and fears were replaced by relief that we were unharmed and that our house had remained undamaged. As I stepped outside,I witnessed the extent of the damage the tornado had caused to our neighborhood.Across the street,a tall tree had fallen,orushing Luella's garden in front of her yellow house.We hurried over to check on it.Fortunately,her family seemed to be away at the time,and no one.was injured.However,her once-beautiful garden was in ruins,with the fallen tree destroying the tulips and debris( H)spread everywhere.I could only imagine how heartbroken they must feel seeing this. Then my mom's usual words rang in my ear,"It is more blessed to give than to receive,"and my family started to think about how we could help. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraphl.Just at that moment,Luella's family retured in their car. Paragraph2.Even after the debris was cleared,I could still sense Luella's sorrow for her lost garden. 第8页共8页
