That’s one small stem for a plant,one giant leap for plant science.
In a tiny,lab-grown garden,the first seeds ever sown in lunar dirt have sprouted(发芽).This small crop offers hope that astronauts could someday grow their own food on the moon.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。为了了解月壤是否适合耕种植物,科学家们采用从月球上拿回来的泥土样本进行实验耕种,并且说明了研究的结果以及作用。
But plants potted in lunar dirt grew more slowly and were much thinner than others grown in volcanic material from Earth,researchers report on May 12 in Communications Biology.That finding suggests that farming on the moon would take a lot more than a green thumb.
“Ever since these samples came back,there’ve been botanists that wanted to know what would happen if you grew plants in them,” says Barker,who wasn’t involved in the study.“But everyone knows those precious samples are priceless,and so you can understand why NASA was reluctant to release them.”
The dirt,or regolith,that covers the moon is basically a gardener’s worst nightmare.This fine powder of razor-sharp bits is full of metallic iron,rather than the oxidized(氧化的) kind that is friendly to plants.But it is not full of nitrogen,phosphorus or much else that plants need to grow.So no one knew whether newborn plants could put down their delicate roots in the real stuff.
To find out,researchers at the University of Florida in Gainesville ran experiments with that cress,a well-studied plant that can grow in just a tiny clod of material.That was key because the researchers had only a little bit of the moon dirt to go around.
“Nothing really compared to when we first saw the seedlings as they were sprouting in the lunar dirt,” says Anna-Lisa Paul,a plant molecular biologist.“That was a moving experience,to be able to say that we’re watching the very first earth organisms to grow in extraterrestrial materials,ever.And it was amazing.”
Plants grew in all the pots of lunar dirt,but none grew as well as those cultivated in earthly material.
Barker isn’t frightened by the challenges promised by this first attempt at lunar gardening.“There’re many,many steps and pieces of technology to be developed before humanity(人类) can really engage in lunar agriculture,” he says.“But having this particular dataset(资料) is really important for those of us that believe it’s possible and important.”
4.What can we learn from the underlined sentence in paragraph 3?
A.Farming on the moon is no easy job.
B.Lunar dirt is very scarce for humans.
C.Knowing how to farm matters much.
D.Volcanic material from Earth is better.
√
句意理解题。根据第三段可知,与生长在地球火山泥中相比,长在月壤中的植物生长速度更慢、更瘦弱,要想在月球上耕种不仅仅是需要好的种植技术,由此可知,画线句表明在月球上耕种并不简单。故选A。
解析
5.What is the purpose of the experiments?
A.To explore the moon for more lunar dirt.
B.To increase the richness of the moon dirt.
C.To reveal what elements lunar dirt contains.
D.To find whether lunar dirt is proper for plants.
√
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“‘Ever since these samples came back,there’ve been botanists that wanted to know what would happen if you grew plants in them,’says Barker...”可知,植物学家们想知道月壤是否适合植物生长,所以利用样本做实验,故选D。
解析
6.Why isn’t Barker frightened by the challenges?
A.Because researches have laid the foundation.
B.Because lunar gardening is quite important.
C.Because technology has solved the problems.
D.Because humans have engaged in lunar farming.
√
推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,Barker表示虽然首次尝试面临着挑战,但研究获得了特定的数据,这为以后的研究奠定了基础,所以他没有被挑战吓到。故选A。
解析
7.What is this text mainly about?
A.Astronauts growing plants on the moon.
B.Human’s great success in lunar gardening.
C.Experiments of growing plants in moon soil.
D.A well-studied plant growing in earthly material.
√
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第六段可知,本文内容主要是关于在月壤中耕种植物的实验。故选C。
解析
“Most people don’t know anything about soil,” says Dominique Arrouays,a soil scientist in France.“In the city,they never see the soil,unless there’s construction.It’s all pavement.They don’t realize that everything depends on soils.”
Ⅱ.七选五
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了土壤的重要性和土壤侵蚀问题,呼吁我们保护土壤。
Soils grow the food that provides an estimated 98.8 percent of our daily calories,according to a paper in Environment International,and house more than 25 percent of the world’s biodiversity. 1
A.But soils are in great trouble at present.
B.Soil erosion is a particularly serious problem worldwide.
C.This structure allows rainfall to sink in healthy soil deeply.
D.Soils also store massive amounts of both fresh water and carbon.
E.It may take up to 1,000 years to produce a couple centimeters of soil.
F.But when soil is left bare,wind and water can more easily displace it.
G.Soil is a living community to create a rich environment for food production.
√
根据空格上文“Soils grow the food that provides an estimated 98.8 percent of our daily calories...and house more than 25 percent of the world’s biodiversity.”可知,上文介绍土壤的重要性。D项“土壤还储存大量的淡水和碳”能够承接上文,介绍的也是土壤的重要性。故选D。
解析
Healthy soil is marked by its porous(多孔的) structure,produced by root growth as well as the activities of earthworms and insects. 2 Healthy soils not only make farms more climate-resilient(适应气候的),but they can also help keep costs for farmers and taxpayers down.
A.But soils are in great trouble at present.
B.Soil erosion is a particularly serious problem worldwide.
C.This structure allows rainfall to sink in healthy soil deeply.
D.Soils also store massive amounts of both fresh water and carbon.
E.It may take up to 1,000 years to produce a couple centimeters of soil.
F.But when soil is left bare,wind and water can more easily displace it.
G.Soil is a living community to create a rich environment for food production.
√
空格前一句介绍了土壤的多孔结构,C项中的“This structure”呼应前一句中的“its porous(多孔的) structure”,进一步说明这种多孔结构的优点。故选C。
解析
According to a United Nations report,a third of the planet’s soil is highly degraded due to acidification,erosion(腐蚀),and other factors.Soils cannot be regenerated quickly. 3 And yet many people dismiss it as nothing more than dirt.
A.But soils are in great trouble at present.
B.Soil erosion is a particularly serious problem worldwide.
C.This structure allows rainfall to sink in healthy soil deeply.
D.Soils also store massive amounts of both fresh water and carbon.
E.It may take up to 1,000 years to produce a couple centimeters of soil.
F.But when soil is left bare,wind and water can more easily displace it.
G.Soil is a living community to create a rich environment for food production.
√
空格前一句说明土壤不能快速再生,E项“形成几厘米的土壤可能需要1 000年的时间”能够承接上文。故选E。
解析
4 Erosion occurs when soil is displaced by wind or water—washed off farms and stored in ditches and streams,or blown across the landscape as dust.Healthy soil resists erosion well,especially if it is protected by plants above ground and roots below-ground.
A.But soils are in great trouble at present.
B.Soil erosion is a particularly serious problem worldwide.
C.This structure allows rainfall to sink in healthy soil deeply.
D.Soils also store massive amounts of both fresh water and carbon.
E.It may take up to 1,000 years to produce a couple centimeters of soil.
F.But when soil is left bare,wind and water can more easily displace it.
G.Soil is a living community to create a rich environment for food production.
√
空格后一句介绍了土壤侵蚀现象,B项“土壤侵蚀是世界范围内一个特别严重的问题”能够引起下文。故选B。
解析
5 The results can be disastrous.Even small changes year after year can gradually cause big problems.
Soil is the skin of the earth.We need to protect it.It’s in everybody’s interest to support farmers in rebuilding soil health and preventing erosion.
A.But soils are in great trouble at present.
B.Soil erosion is a particularly serious problem worldwide.
C.This structure allows rainfall to sink in healthy soil deeply.
D.Soils also store massive amounts of both fresh water and carbon.
E.It may take up to 1,000 years to produce a couple centimeters of soil.
F.But when soil is left bare,wind and water can more easily displace it.
G.Soil is a living community to create a rich environment for food production.
√
空格前一句提到如果土壤受到地上植物和地下根的保护,可以很好地抵抗侵蚀,空格后一句说“这一结果会是灾难性的”。F项“但当土壤裸露时,风和水会更容易将其移走”与前一句构成转折关系,并引出后一句。故选F。
解析
World Soil Day 1. (hold) every year on 5 December as a means to focus attention on the importance of soil health and to advocate for the sustainable management of soil resources.
Ⅲ.语法填空
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了世界土壤日以及它的目的和意义。
