16、ey are sensitive to temperature.For example,studies have shown that cut carnations（康 乃 馨）retain their freshness eight times longer when keptat 12oC than when kept at 260c.Keeping freshly harvested flowers at the right temperatures is probab 1 ythe most important aspect of flower care.3 Flowers are n

17、ot intended by nature to 1 ive very long.Their biological purpose is simply to attractbirds or insects,such as bees,for pollination（授 粉）.After that,they quickly dry up and die.Theprocess by which flowers consume oxygen and produce carbon dioxide（二 氧 化 碳），called respiration（呼 吸），generates the energy

18、the flower needs to give the flower its shape and colour.The making of seedsalso depends on th is energy.While all living things respire,flowers have a high level of respiration.A result of a ll this respiration is heat,and for flowers the level of heat relativ e to the mass ofthe flower is very hig

19、h.Respiration also brings about the eventual death of the flower.Thus the greaterthe level of respiration,the sooner the flower dies.4 H o w,then,to control the rate at which flowers die?B y controlling respiration.H o w is respirationcontrolled?B y controlling temperature.W e know that respiration

20、produces heat,but the reverse isalso true.Thus by maintaining low temperatures,respiration is reduced and the cut flower will agemore slowly.5 Another v ital factor in keeping cut flowers is the quality of the water in which they are placed.Flowers find it d iffic u lt to“drink”water that is dirty o

21、r otherwise polluted.Even when water looksand smells clean,i t almost certainly contains harmful substances that can endanger the flowers.Torid the water of these unwanted substances,household chlorine bleach（含 氯 漂 白 剂）can be used in smallquantities.It is recommended that 15 drops of chlorine bleach

22、（at 4%solution）be added to each litreof water.The water and solution should also be replaced each day.23 Paragraph 224 Paragraph 3_25 Paragraph 426 Paragraph 5_27 A few simple facts will help you keep cut flowers28 Respiration plays a key role29 The aging of cut flowers can be siowed dow n30 Another

24、heir clothes,ideas,or languages-has changed asm uch as what they eat.The original chocolate drink was made from the seeds of the cocoa tree（可 可 树）by South American Indians.The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during the 1500 s.A nd although it was very expensive,i t quickly became fash

26、eople starvedwhen the crop failed during the“Potato Famine（力 L荒）”of 1845 1846,and thousands more were forcedto leave their homeland and move to America.There are many other foods that have traveled from South America to the Old World.But some otherswent in the opposite direction.Brazil is now the wo

32、t.Better still,perhaps,is the practice of reading it twice,once at the beginning of thediscussion and once at the end,so the sound of the poem is the last thing one heais of it.All discussions of poetry are,in fact,preparations for reading it aloud,and the reading of the poemis,finally,the most tel

33、1ing a interpretationof it,suggesting tone,rhythm,and meaning all atonce.Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice,on records or on film,is obviously a specialreward.But even those aids to teaching can not replace the student and teacher reading it or,bestof all,reciting（背 诵）it.I have com

34、e to think,in fact,that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than“analyzing it,if there isn t time for both.I think one of our goals as teachers of English isto have students love poetry.Poetry is“a criticism of life,and a heightening（提 升）of l i f e”.It is“an approach to the truth

35、of feeling”,and it“can save your l i f e”.It also deserves a placein the teaching of language and lite ra tu re more central than it presently occupies.I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry.Those w ho don t like it should not beforced to put that dislike on anyone else.But tho

36、se w ho do teach poetry must keep in mind a few things about its essential nature,about its sound as well as its sense,and they must make room in theclassroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it.36 To have a better understanding of a poem,one shouldA discuss it with others.B analyze it b

37、y oneself.C copy i t down in a notebookD practise reading i t aloud37 Which of the following is N O T mentioned as a function of poetry?A Extending your life.B Saving your life.C C riticizing life.D Heightening life.38 According to the writer,one of the purposes of teaching English is to get student

38、sA to understand life.B to enjoy poetry.C to become teachers.D to become poets39 W hat does the last sentence in the third paragraph imply?A M ore stress should be laid on the teaching of poetry.B Poetry i s more important than any other subject.C One cannot enjoy life fully without an understanding

39、 of poetryD Poetry is the foundation of al 1 language and 1iterature courses40 The phrase“make room“in the last paragraph could be best replaced byA build a boothwB wprovide equipmentn.C a 1 eave a certain amount of time”.D“set aside enough spacew.第 三 篇 Salty Rice Plant Boosts HarvestsB ritish scien

40、 tists are breeding a new generation of rice plants that will be able to grow in soilcontaining sa lt water.Their work m ay enable abandoned farms to become productive oncemore.Tim F1 owers and Tony Yeo,from Sussex University s School of Biological Sciences,have spent severalyears researching how cr

41、ops,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 Counci 1,to estab1ish which genes enable some plants to survive salty conditions.The aimis to breed this capability int

43、riers to 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 plant

44、s and prevents 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 th

45、e plants*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 soil are known,Flowers and Yeo will try to breed theappropri
