In the distant past, they outpaced (超过 )plants such as conifers and ferns(针叶植物和蕨类植物), but how they did this has been a mystery. New research suggests it is due to genome(基因组)size.Hundreds of millions of years ago, the Earth was dominated (支配)by ferns and conifers. Then, about 150 million years ago，the first flowering plants appeared on the scene. They quickly spread to all parts of the world, changing the landscape from muted green to a variety of colours.Why angiosperms were successful and diverse on Earth has been debated for centuries. Charles Darwin himself called it a mystery, fearing this apparent sudden leap might challenge his theory of evolution.Kevin Simonin from San Francisco State University in California, US and other researchers wondered if the size of the plants genetic material -or genome -might be important. They analysed data held by the Roval Botanie Gardens. Kew. on the genome size of hundreds of plants, including flowering plants, gymnosperms (a group of plants including conifers)and ferns. They then compared genome size with anatomical(结构上的) features.This provides strong evidence, that the success and rapid spread of flowering plants aroundthe world is due to genome downsizing.”By shrinking the size of the genome, which is contained within the nucleus of the cell, plants can build smaller cells, In turn. this allows greater carbon dioxide uptake(摄入) and carbon gain from photosynthesis, the process by which plants use light energy to turn carbon dioxide and water into sugar and oxygen.The researchers say genome -downsizing happened only in the angiosperms, and this was “a necessary condition for rapid growth rates among land plants”.28. What do you know about angiosperms?A. They are dominant plants on Earth. B. They are rare plants in South Africa.C. They are tropical plants in South Asia. D. They are extinct plants in the world29. It can be inferred that_A. Charles Darwin was confident of his theory of evolutionB. Kevin Simonin is probably an American biologistC. Kevin Simonin works in the Roval Botanic Gardens, KewD. Charles Darwin succeeded in figuring out the flower evolution30. Which of the following contributed to the success and diversity of angiosperms?A. The weaker conifer. B. The larger nucleus. C. The smaller genome D. The stronger cell.31. Which of the following is the best title?A. How Angiosperms Conquered the World? B. What Puzzle Confused Even Charles Darwin?C. Why Gymnosperms Were Successful on EarthD. When Angiosperms Outpaced Conifers and Ferns?DCarrie Gracie is knowledgeable about China and its affairs. She also has a reputation as a generous colleague. She has resigned from her job as China editor because her employers will not pay her at the same rate as they pay the handful of men who do a similarly challenging and important job. She has resigned because she refused to go on colluding (共谋)with the BBCS dishonesty about its failure to give women and men equal pay for equal workGracie was recruited to the job, because she had all the talent and skills the BBC needed to cover the difficult international and domestic story of the rise of China. One of the conditions she set for taking it was equal pay with the BBC other international editors, familiar names including Jon Sopel in Washington and Jeremy Bowen In the Middle East. Last summer, the government forced the BBC to publish which of the familiar names on radio and TV earned over 150, 000. The results exposed an astonishing pay gap. They also showed Gracie that her employers had misled her.Gracie sets out all her efforts to get her bosses to do what they had originally promised her, butthey fail to respond adequately Instead, they prevaricate (搪塞) and offer her a pay rise that still would not have delivered equality. They thought they could buy her off. They thought that the reputational hazard she was running would scare her away from the fight.The BBC is wrongs his time! Gracie has chosen to design rather than give in because she thinks that it is her responsibility to stop the BBC doing something stupid. She is fighting for womens legal rights.Gracie said she hoped she wouldnt be remembered as the woman who complained about money, but as a great journalist. She is proving that they are two sides of the same invaluable coin.Carrie Gracies dispute with the BBC isnt about money -its about dignity！32. What do you know about Carrie Gracie?A. She is very strict with her office colleagues. B. She has a good command of China s affairsC. She was working together with Jon Sopel D. She has a reputation of covering sports news.33. What does Carrie Gracie demand of the BBC?A. Equal pay for equal work B. Better pay for more workC. Apology for misconducts, D. Response to her complaint34. We can infer that the BBC_。A didnt promise Gracie equal pay with her male colleaguesB dismissed Carrie Gracie due to her demand for higher payC. was forced to pay Gracie equal pay for doing the equal workD. kept the pay of its familiar names secret before last summer35. What is the authors attitude towards the BBC?A. Positive B. Vague. C. Critical D. Cautious.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。Four Easy Ways Towards HappinessAre you happy? 36 .
