B (2026黑龙江鸡西高二下期中) Carlos Magdalena,known as the “plant savior”,is a plant researcher at the Royal Botanic Gardens,Kew,in London.He travels the world saving endangered plants from near extinction.While many conservation headlines focus on animals like whales,Magdalena argues that plants deserve equal attention.“Plants are the magicians of our universe,” he says. Magdalena’s journey began with a shrub(灌木) called cafe marron from the island of Rodrigues.Thought to be extinct for most of the 20th century,a single survivor was found in 1980.Kew Gardens received a cutting,but experts could not get it to produce seeds.When Magdalena arrived in 2003,he experimented by changing the way he handled the flowers and growing the plant in warmer conditions.Suddenly,he succeeded in propagating it.The plant was later reintroduced to Rodrigues.This taught him a valuable lesson:even if a plant cannot be saved now,we may be able to save it in the future. Another famous rescue involved the pygmy lily from Rwanda.Seeds from a German university had failed to grow.One night while cooking dinner,Magdalena had a breakthrough:the young leaves needed more CO2 from the air.He placed the seeds just one to two millimeters below the water’s surface,allowing the leaves to breathe.It worked.His dedication,he admits,is often misunderstood,but it makes incredible things possible. Magdalena also discovered a giant water lily in Bolivia.At first glance,he knew it was different from the two known species.After years of research,including DNA analysis,he and his team confirmed it as a new species:Victoria boliviana,with leaves ten feet wide.“What else is out there?” he wonders.With up to 100,000 plant species still undiscovered,Magdalena’s mission is far from complete.He believes that protecting plants means protecting the base of life on Earth. 4.What does the underlined word “propagating” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A.Discovering. B.Recording. C.Increasing. D.Controlling. 5.What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A.The rescue of the pygmy lily. B.The value of CO2 for plants. C.The research on a new species. D.The difficulty of growing seeds. 6.What can be learned about Magdalena from the last paragraph? A.He knows all plants in the world clearly. B.He has discovered 100,000 plant species. C.He teaches many students to study plants. D.He will continue his plant protection work. 7.Which of the following can best describe Magdalena? A.Brave and humorous. B.Devoted and creative. C.Honest and confident. D.Calm and careful.
