The trees grown in warmer conditions coped just as well as the others, and photosynthesis rates bounced back to normal after the heat wave passed, Drake and his colleagues reported online in Global Change Biology. Ecologist John Drake of the . College of Environmental Science and Forestry and his colleagues grew a dozen Parramatta red gum (Eucalyptus parramattensis) trees in large, climatecontrolled plastic pods that separated the trees from the surrounding forest for a year in Richmond, Australia. Six of the trees were grown at surrounding air temperatures and six at temperatures three degrees Celsius higher. The researchers withheld (扣留) water from the surface soil of all 12 trees for a month to imitate a mild dry spell, then induced a fourday “extreme” heat wave: They raised the maximum temperatures in half of the pods(three with surrounding temperatures and three of the warmer ones)— to 44 degrees ℃. As plants change sunlight into food, or photosynthesize (光合作用), they absorb carbon dioxide through pores on their leaves. These pores also release water via transpiration(蒸騰), which circulates nutrients through the plant and helps cool it by evaporation(蒸發(fā)). But exceptionally high temperatures are known to greatly reduce photosynthesis—and most existing plant models suggest this should also decrease transpiration, leaving trees in danger of fatally overheating. Because it is difficult for scientists to control and vary trees39。7.閱讀理解故選D。根據(jù)最后一段中的“that if we don39。故選A。I try to keep it in a time capsule in a canning jar,39。根據(jù)第五段中的“there is a moment when it39。故選B。(2)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。Loe在那里所做的一切證明,一個大農(nóng)場對“自己種植”現(xiàn)代生活方式來說并不是一個硬要求。(1)考查詞義猜測。The responsibility to protect our earth【答案】(1)C(2)B(3)A(4)D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇記敘文,講述了一個名叫Loe的女性的故事。The way to live a growourown life.C.It can improve their nutrition.(4)What is the “the bigger picture” (Para. 6) that Loe wishes her children to understand?
