It just goes to show how important it is for a long-term colony to be able to grow their own food locally. Weve taken one step closer to that goal in March, when Netherlands Wageningen University reported that theyve managed to grow ten different crops in Mars-like soil.However, growing food doesnt do us much good if eating it kills us, and researchers were worried that these crops contained dangerous heavy metals like lead or cadmium(镉) from the martian soil. But future colonists are delighted, as lab analysis of the crops determined that at least four of them are safe to eat.Led by ecologist Wieger Wamelink, the team tested radishes, tomatoes, rye, and peas. They looked at cadmium, lead, aluminium(铝), nickel(镍), copper, chrome(铬), iron, arsenic(砷), manganese(锰), and zinc(锌) contents in the plants, and didnt find any in dangerous levels. In fact, some of these vegetables have lower levels of heavy metals than those grown in regular potting soil. The plants were also tested for vitamins, alkaloids(生物碱), and flavonoids(类黄酮), with good results. While there are six more crops to test, Wamelink himself said that the results up to now are “very promising.”“Growing food locally is especially important to our mission of permanent settlement, as we have to ensure sustainable food production on Mars. The results of Dr. Wamelink and his team at Wageningen University & Research are significant progress towards that goal,” said Mars One co-founder and CEO Bas Lansdorp in a press release.A crowdfunding campaign is underway (and will be until the end of August) to fund the test of the remaining crops, potatoes included. If all the crops test out safe, with concentrations of heavy metal the FDA and the Dutch Food Agency consider as safe, Wamelinks team will host a “Martian dinner” at the Wageningen greenhouse.But Ive seen the movie. Stay clear of the potatoes.53. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Four crops grown in martian soil have been tested safe to eat, with no heavy metals in.B. The ability to grow food locally can ensure the permanent stay on Mars.C. The team temporarily lack money to test the remaining six crops.D. A “Martian dinner” will be hosted after all the remaining crops have been tested.54. What is Bas Lansdorps attitude towards the research results?A. Neutral.B. Indifferent.C. Unfavorable.D. Praiseful.55. The author writes the passage in order to _.A. prove that it is practical to grow crops on Mars in the futureB. show crops grown in martian soil are safe for people to eatC. point out the importance of growing food locally for long-term settlementD. report the recent research findings of the possibility of growing food on MarsCA biologist from the National Park Service discovered a rare and unusual mammoth(猛犸) skull(颅骨) buried in a 13,000-year-old rock layer on the Santa Rosa Island, the second largest landmass in the Channel Islands, California. The fossil of the extinct giant animal is leaving many paleontologists(古生物学家) scratching their heads. Despi
