Researchers at Marlin Luther University Halle Witlenberg(MLU) joined forces with the Leibniz Institute for Plant Biochcmistry(IPB) to discover the molecular (分子)process of plant growth. In Current Biology, a scientific journal, they presented their findings on high-temperature plant growth. This could lead to developing plants that can survive global warming.Plants react to even small temperature changes, but they are unable to move to new locations. 44When temperatures rise, plants grow taller . to cool themselves off. Their stems become taller, and their leaves become narrower and grow farther apart. Yet, this makes the plant more unstable overall,“ explains Professor Marcel Quint, an agricultural scientist at MLU. Unstable plants bend faster in the rain and produce less food that's also less nutritious.There's still lots to learn about plant reactions to temperatures. uWc arc just starting to understand how plants feel the changes in temperature .J Quint says. Earlier studies have shown that the protein （蛋白质）PIF4 directly controls plant growth and is also dependent on temperature. When it's cold, PIF4 is less active, meaning the plant doesn't grow. At higher temperatures, PIF4 activates growth-promoting genes, and the plant grows taller. This is new information, says Quint.To understand i（, they studied （he growth of thale cress （拟南芥）seedlings. Normally, its seedlings form short stems at 20. These stems become much longer at 28*C. They discovered a hormone （荷尔蒙）that activates the PIF4 at high temperatures, thus producing the protein.The findings may help to develop plants that remain stable even at high temperatures and produce many crops.12. Why did the researchers at MLU and IPB conduct their research?A. To study the negative effects of global warming.B. To find out how plants help reduce global wanning.C. To observe how global warming affects plant growth.D. To understand the ways that plants cause global warming.13. What can wc learn from Paragraph 2?A. Low temperatures have little impact on plants.B. Plants prefer dry weather to rainy weather.C. Plants are very sensitive to change in soil.D. High temperatures reduce crop production.14. What do we know about PIF4?A. It mainly exists in （hale cress seedlings.B. It works differently at different temperatures.C. It is a kind of gene that controls plant growth.D. It is a plant hormone that works at high temperatures.15. Who will probably benefit most from the findings?A. Farmers.B. Teachers.C. Researchers.D. Environmentalists.第二节（共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Four Habits to Help you SucceedWc ail want to succeed, whether it's in losing weight or learning the guitar.
