Olympic Park TourCA team of Japanese scientists has discovered genes that enable rice to survive high water, providing hope for better rice production in lowland areas that are affected by flooding.The genes, called SNORKEL genes, help rice grow longer stems to deal with higher water levels. Deepwater rice generally produces low-yield (低产的) rice plants. But the researchers report they have succeeded in introducing the genes to rice varieties that are higher-yield.According to the report, as water levels rise, accumulation(聚集) of the plant hormone (激素) ethylene (乙烯) makes the SNORKEL genes start working, making stem growth more rapid. When the researchers introduced the genes into rice that does not normally survive in deep water, they were able to rescue the plants from drowning.Motoyuki Ashikari, who headed the project, said his team is hoping to use the gene on long grain rice widely used in Southeast Asian to help stabilize(使稳固) production in flood-prone (易受洪水袭击的）areas where rice with the flood-resistant gene is low in production -about one-third to one-quarter that of regular rice."Scientifically, the gene that we found is rare but clear proof of a biological ability to adapt to a harsh(严酷的) environment," he said. "It's a genetic strategy specifically to survive flooding."High water levels in rice field can be a serious problem. In some areas, rains can cause water levels to rise dangerously high during the growing season and flash flooding can fully submerge plants for days or even weeks.Rice is a main food for billions, and while productivity has increased dramatically since the 1960s, yields must be doubled to meet projected requirements by 2050. More than 30 percent of Asian and 40 percent of African rice land is either lowland field or deepwater field.Laurentius of Utrecht University said the study is significant because high-yield rice varieties cannot survive extremes of floods. "The introduction of these genes into high-yield varieties, using advanced breeding strategies, promises to improve the quality and quantity of rice," he said.29. What is the main character of SNORKEL genes?A. They prevent rice from being attacked by various diseases.B. They help rice grow taller in highland regions.C. They make rice grow tall enough to survive in deep water.D. They make rice be ripe within a shorter time.30. According to Ashikari, the rice with the gene his team found _.A. will be helpful for Southeast Asia B. has been widely used in Southeast AsiaC. will be one third more expensive than regular riceD. is lower in production than regular rice31. The underlined word“submerge”in the sixth paragraph probably means _.A. coverB. damageC. produceD. killDLooking back on my childhood. I am convinced that naturalists are born and not made. Although we were brought up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed flowers and insects. Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages. I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic. Before Word War I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a crystal(清澈的) clear memory of dogs, the farm animals, the local birds and above all, the insects.I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love of the natural world, and my enthusiasm has led me into varied investigations. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil reading about other peoples observations and discoveries. Then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious(意识清醒的) mind. Suddenly you fancy(想象) you see the answer to the riddle. Because it all seems to fit together .This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books. Which some may light honor, with the title of scientific research.But curiosity a keen eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist? One of the outstanding and essential qualities required is self-discipline, a quality I lack. A scientist can be made a naturalist. If you can combine the two, you get the best of both worlds. 32. According to the author, a born naturalist should first of all be _ A. full of ambitionB. self-disciplinedC. full of enthusiasmD. knowledgeable33. The first paragraph tells us that the author _ A. lost his hearing when he was a childB. didnt like his brothers and sisters C. was interested in flowers and insects in his childhoodD. was born to a naturalists family 34. The author says that he is a naturalist rather than a scientist probably because he thinks he _. A. just reads about other peoples observations and discoveries.B. Lacks some of the qualities required of scientist. C. Has a great deal of trouble doing mental arithmetic.D .Come up with solutions in most natural ways. 35. The author cant remember him relatives clearly because_ A. He didnt live very long with themB. He was too young when he lived with them. C. The family was extremely large.D. He was fully occupied with observing nature. 第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。 36 If you are growing tomatoes in your backyard for sale you are producing for the market. You might sell some to your neighbor and some to the local manager of the supermarket.
