1、核心素养测评五 Module 5 A Lesson in a Lab. 阅读理解AHacking isnt just for computers and smart phones. According to a study, scientists have found a way to hack a plants genes in order to make it use sunlight more quickly. Someday, the results could increase the number of food produced around the world. Scienti
2、sts used tobacco plants in the study because it is easy to change the plants genes. Hacked plants are larger than normal plants. Photosynthesis is the word used to describe how plants use sunlight, water and carbon dioxide to make their own food. Scientists say this is a very slow process. Plants us
3、e less than 1 percent of the energy. But by hacking a plants genes, the scientists were able to increase the amount of leaf growth on plants between 14 and 20 percent. Scientists hacked the plants protective system. Normally, this system starts when a plant gets too much sunlight. When the plant sen
4、ses the light, it creates more leaves. When the plant is in shade, the protective system is turned off. And the process is slow. The new study sped up the process by changing the plants genes, the protective system turned on and off more quickly than normal. As a result, leaf growth on the plants sc
5、ientists used in the study increased. Leaf growth on two plants increased by 20 percent, while leaf growth on a third plant increased by 14 percent. Scientists conducted the study on tobacco plants. But they think the genetic changes would produce the same results in corn and rice. Agriculture profe
6、ssor Tala Awanda said the study makes sense, but cautioned the yield(产量)might not be quite so high for conventional food crops. Still, she added in an email, “this study remains a breakthrough”. 【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文, 介绍了科学家研究发现了通过植入植物基因使植物更快地利用阳光的方法, 这种方法对提高粮食产量是个重大突破。1. Which of the following is true acc
7、ording to Paragraph 1? A. We can find hacking only in digital devices. B. A plants genes can be changed by hacking. C. Hacking can be used to change whatever you want. D. Hacking has been used in improving food production. 【解析】选B。细节理解题。根据第一段中的“scientists have found a way to hack a plants genes in or
8、der to make it use sunlight more quickly”可知, 科学家发现了一种通过植入植物基因使其更快地利用阳光的方法, 由此可知, 植物的基因可以通过植入来改变。2. Why did scientists choose tobacco plants to study? A. Because they are very easy to get. B. Because their genes are easy to change. C. Because they are larger than other plants. D. Because they can abs
9、orb sunlight quickly. 【解析】选B。细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Scientists used tobacco plants in the study because it is easy to change the plants genes. ”可知, 科学家在研究中选择使用烟草植物是因为它们的基因很容易改变。3. We can learn from Paragraph 4 that changing the plants genes proved . A. uselessB. deadlyC. effectiveD. unrealistic【解析】选C。 细节理解题。
10、根据第四段中的“As a result, leaf growth on the plants scientists used in the study increased. ”可知, 结果, 科学家在研究中使用的植物叶片生长量增加了, 由此可知, 植入植物基因的方法证明是有效的。4. What is Tala Awandas attitude toward the study? A.

17、eagues found that nearly 70 percent of doctors at a hospital in Massachusetts suffered phantom vibrations. A more recent study of US college students found the figure was as high as 90 percent. While the odd feeling is widespread, it does not seem to be considered a grave problem. Dr. Rosenberger sa
18、id, “Its not actually a syndrome in a technical sense. Thats just the name thats got stuck to it. ” He added, “Only 2 percent of people consider it a problem. ”While this phenomenon is widespread, the scientific community has not yet invested much effort in getting to the bottom of why we suffer pha
