16、is may be done by keeping in mind a few simple facts.2 A n important thing to remember abou t cu t flowers is that they are sensitiv e to temperatu re.F or example,stu dies hav e shown that cu t carnations（康乃馨）retain their freshness eight times 1 onger when keptat 1 2 oC than when kept at 2 6 0 c.K

17、eeping freshly harv ested flowers at the right temperatu res is probablythe most important aspect of flower care.3 F lowers are not intended by natu re to liv e v ery long.T heir biological pu rpose is simply to attractbirds or insects,such as bees,for pollination（授粉）.After that,they quickly dry up

18、and die.Theprocess by which flowers consume oxygen and produce carbon dioxide（:氧化碳），called respiration（呼吸），generates the energy the flower needs to give the flower its shape and colour.The making of seedsalso depends on this energy.While all living things respire,flowers have a high level of respira

19、tion.A result of all this respiration is heat,and for flowers the level of heat relative to the mass ofthe flower is very high.Respiration also brings about the eventual death of the flower.Thus the greaterthe level of respiration,the sooner the flower dies.4 How,then,to control the rate at which fl

20、owers die?By controlling respiration.H ow is respirationcontrolled?By controlling temperature.W e know that respiration produces heat,but the reverse isalso true.Thus by maintaining low temperatures,respiration is reduced and the cut flower will agemore slowly.5 Another vital factor in keeping cut f

24、tish scientists are breeding a new generation of rice plants that will be able to grow in soilcontaining salt water.Their work may enable abandoned farms to become productive oncemore.Tim Flowers and Tony Yeo,from Sussex University*s School of Biological Sciences,have spent severalyears researching

25、how crops,such as rice,could be made to grow in water that has becomesalty.The pair have recently begun a three-year programme,funded by the Biotechnology and Biological SciencesResearch Council,to establish which genes enable some plants to survive salty conditions.The aimis to breed this capabilit

26、y into crops,starting with rice.It is estimated that each year more than 10m hectares（公顷）of agricultural land are lost because saltgets into the soil and stunts（妨碍生长）plants.The problem is caused by several factors.In the tropics,mangroves（红树林）that create swamps（沼泽）and traditionally formed barriers t

27、o sea water have beencut down.In the Mediterranean,a series of droughts have caused the water table to drop,allowingsea water to seep（渗透）in.in Latin America,irrigation often causes problems when water isevaporated（蒸发）by the heat,leaving salt deposits behind.Excess salt then enters the plants and pre

28、vents them functioning normally.Heavy concentrations ofminerals in the plants stop them drawing up the water they need to survive.To overcome these problems.Flowers and Yeo decided to breed rice plants that take in very little slatand store what they do absorb in cells that do not affect the plants

29、growth.They have started tobreed these characteristics into a new rice crop,but it will take about eight harvests before theresulting seeds are ready to be considered for commercial use.Once the characteristics for surviving salty soi1 are known,Flowers and Yeo will try to breed theappropriate genes

34、 our lives,you cannot overlookHenry Ford.A historian a century from now might well conclude that it was Ford who most influencedall manufacturing,everywhere,even to this day,by introducing a new way to make cars-one,strangeto say,that originated in slaughterhouses（屠宰场）.Back in the early 1900 s,slaug

35、hterhouses used what could have been called a disassembly linen.Ford reversed this process to see if it would speed up production of a part of an automobile enginecalled a magneto.Rather than have each worker completely assemble a magneto,one of its elements wasplaced on a conveyer,and each worker,a

36、s it passed,added another component to it,the same one eachtime.Professor David Hounshell of the University of Delaware,an expert on industrial development,tells what happened.“The previous day,workers carrying out the entire process had averaged one assembly every 20 minutes.But on that day,on the

37、line,the assemble team averaged one every 13 minutes and 10 seconds perperson.Within a year,the time had been reduced to five minutes.In 1913,Ford went all the way.Hooked togetherby ropes,partially assembled vehicles were towed（拖,拉）past workers who completed them one pieceat a time.Il hasn,t long be

38、fore Ford was turning out several hundred thousand cars a year,a remarkableachievement then.And so efficient and economical was this new system that he cut the price of hiscars in half,to$260,putting them within reach of all those who,up until that time,could not affordthem.Soon,auto makers the worl

39、d over copied him.In fact,he encouraged them to do so by writinga book about al 1 of his innovations,entitled Today and Tomorrow.The Age of the Automobile has arrived.Today,aided by robots and other forms of automation（自动化），everything from toasters to perfumesis made on assembly lines.36 Which of th

40、e fol lowing statements about Henry Ford is N O T true?A He introduced a new way of production.B He influenced al 1 manufacturing.C He inspired other auto makers.D He changed a historian s mind.37 The writer mentionsM slaughterhouses because they were the places whereA Ford*s assembly 1ine originate

41、dB Ford made his first car.C Ford readjusted the assembly 1ine.D Ford innovated the disassembly line.38 A magneto is a technical term forA an automobile.B a production 1ineC a part of an automobile engine.D a disassembly 1ine39 the phrase”turning out“in the last paragraph could be best replaced byA

43、 in recent years research has shown the great importanceof play in the development of a human being.From earliest infancy,every child needs opportunity andthe right materials for play,and the main tools of play are toys.Their main function is to suggest,encourage and assist play.To succeed in this t

44、hey must be good toys,which children will play withoften,and will come back to again and again.Therefore it is important to choose suitable toys fordifferent stages of a child,s development.In recent years research on infant development has shown that the standard a child is likely to reach,within t

45、he range of his inherited abilities,is largely determined in the first three years of hislife.So a baby,s ability to profit from the right play materials should not be underestimated.Ababy who is encouraged and stimulated,talked to and shown things and played with,has the best chanceof growing up su

46、ccessfully.In the next stage,from three to five years old,curiosity knows no bounds.Every type of suitabletoy should be made available to the child,for trying out,experimenting and learning,for discoveringhis own particular ability.Bricks and jigsaws（七巧板）and construct ion toys;painting,scribbling（涂鸦

47、）and making things;sand and water play;toys for imaginative and pretending play;the first socialgames for learning to play and get on with others.Bt the third stage of play development-from five to seven or eight years-the child is at school.Butfor a few more years play is still the best way of lear

48、ning,at home or at school.It is easier tosee which type of toys the chi Ils most enjoys.Until the age of seven or eight,play and work mean much the same to a child.But once reading hasbeen mastered,then books and school become the main source of learning.Toys are still interestingand valuable,they l

49、ead on to new hobbies,but their significance has changed-to a child of nice orten years,toys and games mean,as to adults,relaxation and fun.41 The passage tells us that as a child grows upA he should be a 11 owed to choose his own toys.B he should be given identical toys.C he should be given differe

50、nt toys.D he should be given fewer and fewer toys.42 According to the passage,the abi1i ties a chi Id has inheri ted from his parentsA determine his characterB wi11 not change after the age of three.C partly determine the standard he is likely to reach.D to a large extent determine the choice of toy
