12．China's historic 23-day Chang'e 5 mission has not only obtained precious rock and soil samples from the moon，but has also brought back a group of seeds that traveled the furthest in the nation's agricultural and forestry histories.More than 30 kinds of seeds，including that of rice，oats etc.，were placed inside the multi-module Chang'e 5 spacecraft and orbited around the moon for about 15 days.
Scientists wished to check what would happen to the seeds after being exposed to extraterrestrial（地外的） forces in lunar orbit and also hoped that they could develop beneficial mutations（突变）.This mission offered good opportunities to scientists，which enabled them to deepen their studies on the effect of cosmic rays on the growth and evolution of life on Earth.
Space-based mutation breeding refers to the process of exposing seeds to forces such as microgravity，vacuums and cosmic radiation during a spaceflight and then sending them back to Earth for further observation and planting.Researchers observe and examine several generations of plants grown from space-bred seeds and investigate their mutations-some are positive and desirable while others are negative.Those with positive mutations will be kept and analyzed，and will be introduced to farmers after their certification and approval.
Space breeding can generate mutations faster and more conveniently than ground- based experiments and can bring about some desirable traits that are otherwise hard to introduce.Compared with natural or conventionally bred types of plants，space-developed versions with positive mutations usually feature higher nutritional content，greater annual yields，shorter growth periods and better resistance to diseases and insect pests.
China conducted its first space breeding experiment in 1987，using a satellite to carry seeds into space.Since then，hundreds of kinds of seeds and seedlings have traveled with dozens of Chinese jye.aiships.Space breeding has helped to produce more than 200 new types of mutated plants in China that have been approved for large-scale cultivation，ranging from grains to vegetables and fruits.The Chang'e 5 robotic mission returned 1，731 grams of lunar rock and soil to Earth，marking a historic accomplishment 44 years after the last lunar substances were taken back.
（1）Why were the seeds placed inside Chang'e 5？
A．To pick out the fittest for mutations.
B．To understand extraterrestrial forces.
C．To study the intensity of cosmic rays.
D．To expose them to a special environment.
（2）What do we know about space-based mutation breeding？
A．It is not a time-consuming process.
B．Mutations develop in a random way.
C．It often brings about desirable effects.
D．Approval will be granted to mutated plants.
（3）What can we learn from the last paragraph？
A．It is a custom to put seedlings on a spacecraft.
B．China was the first to do a space breeding experiment.
C．It is some time since seeds were last taken into space.
D．Space breeding has brought us commercial benefits.
（4）What is the best title of the passage？
A．Space-bred Seeds Offer Great Chances
B．Chang'e 5 Returns with a Big Package
C．Plant Mutations Result in a Better Life
D．Seeds from Space Mark a New History组卷：9引用：4难度：0.5 -
13．In a country where over 80% of residents live in public housing，a government commitment to sustainable urban design could have huge influence.And when it's a tropical country like Singapore where convenience and air conditioning are a way of life，the impact could be greater still.
Promising 42，000 new homes across five residential districts，the eco-town of Tengah will be the 24th new settlement built by Singapore's government since World War Ⅱ.It is，however，the first with centralized cooling，automated trash collection and a car-free town center，with which environment lovers hope to offer a roadmap for reducing carbon emissions in the Southeast Asian city-state.
The development is named as "Forest Town" by officials，due to its abundant greenery and public gardens.Once home to brickmaking factories，and later used for military training，the 2.7-square-mile site has been reclaimed by a forest in recent years.A 328-foot-wide ecological "corridor" will be maintained through its center，providing safe passage to wildlife and connecting a water catchment area on one side to a nature reserve on the other.
The project has proven a new plan for urban planners supporting green design principles and "smart" technology，according to Chong Fook Loong，group director for research and planning at Singapore's Housing and Development Board，the agency overseeing the country's public housing. "Tengah is a new start，" he said in a video interview，explaining that roads and parking are being pushed beneath the town center. "We're going for the ideal concept of separated traffic，with everything underground and then the ground level totally freed up for pedestrians-for people.So，it's a very safe environment for all."
"We want a town that allows walking and cycling in a very user-friendly manner." he added，saying that cycling has taken off in Singapore in the "last three to five years especially".The master plan will see the installation （安装）of electric vehicle charging stations.
（1）What is special about the 24th new settlement？
A．It can house 42，000 people.
B．It will be well equipped.
C．It will be built by the government.
D．It will be environmentally friendly.
（2）Which of the following might be the design of the forest town？
A.
B.
C.
D.
（3）What can we learn from Chong Fook Loong's words？
A．A parking lot will put in the town center.
B．Separated traffic will be applied.
C．Bikes will be able to fly in the near future.
D．All masters will install charging stations.
（4）What is the best title for the text？
A．Ways to reduce carbon emissions
B．A green roadmap for Singapore
C．Eco 'smart' city of Singapore
D．A smart electric vehicle technology组卷：3引用：5难度：0.6 -
14．As the effects of climate change become more disastrous，well-known research institutions and government agencies are focusing new money and attention on an idea：artificially cooling the planet，in the hopes of buying humanity more time to cut greenhouse gas emissions.
That strategy，called solar climate intervention （干预） or solar geoengineering，involves reflecting more of the sun's energy back into space - abruptly reducing global temperatures in a way that imitates the effects of ash clouds flowing out from the volcanic eruptions.The idea has been considered as a dangerous and fancied solution，one that would encourage people to keep burning fossil fuels while exposing the planet to unexpected and potentially threatening side effects，producing more destructive hurricanes，wildfires floods and other disasters.
But，as global warming continues，producing more destructive hurricanes，wildfires floods and other disasters，some researchers and policy experts say that concerns about geoengineering should be outweighed by the imperative to better understand it，in case the consequence of climate change become so terrible that the world can't wait for better solutions.
One way to cool the earth is by injecting aerosols （气溶胶） into the upper layer of the atmosphere.jye.ai those particles reflect sunlight away from the earth.That process works，according to Douglas MacMartin，a researcher at Cornell University.
"We know with 100% certainty that we can cool the planet，" he said in an interview.What's still unclear，he added，is what happens next.Temperature，MacMartin said，is an indicator for a lot of climate effects. "What does it do to the strength of hurricanes？" he asked， "What does it do to agriculture production？What does it do to the risk of forest fires？"
Another institution funded by the National Science Foundation will analyze hundreds of simulations of aerosol injection，testing the effects on weather extremes around the world.One goal of the research is to look for a sweet spot：the amount of artificial cooling that can reduce extreme weather events without causing broader changes in regional rainfall patterns or similar impacts.
（1）Why do researchers and government agencies work on cooling the earth？
A．To prevent natural disasters.
B．To win more time to reduce gas emissions.
C．To imitate volcanic eruptions.
D．To encourage more people to burn fossil fuels.
（2）What are researchers worried about in terms of global warming？
A．More volcanoes will throw out.
B．More solar energy will go into space.
C．More disasters will endanger the future of the world.
D．People will keep burning fossil fuels to keep warm.
（3）What can be inferred from Douglas' words in an interview？
A．He thinks more research remains to be done.
B．He is optimistic about the effect of cooling the earth.
C．He is concerned about the reduction in agriculture production.
D．He disapproves of the practice of solar climate intervention.
（4）What does the underlined words "sweet spot" in the last paragraph mean？
A．The rainfall pattern of a region.
B．The modest drop in temperature.
C．The number of extreme weather events.
D．The injection amount of aerosol.组卷：1引用：2难度：0.5
