Flowers come out everywhere on the same day. But how do plants “know” when to flower?For years, it has been a difficult question for scientists. But a US research group may have finally answered itthe secret lies in a protein(蛋白质)called FKF1. This helps plants to know when the days become long and when they get short. Then they can tell the seasons are changing.Researchers found the FKF1 protein when they were studying a plant called Arabidopsis(拟南芥). It is sensitive(敏感的)to sunlight, and can be made active by sunlight.Plants produce this protein every day in the late afternoon all year. If there is no light at this time, for example in winter when the sun goes down early, the protein wont be active. But when spring comes and the days get longer, the FKF1 protein can be made active by day light and the plants “know”it is time to flower. “If there is light in the late afternoon, plants will know that the days are getting longer and that it is the best time for flowers to come out,”explained Takato Imaizumi, leader of study. But when conditions are poor for growing, such as during autumn or winter when the weather is cold and days are short, plants wont flower.Although researchers have only studied how the FKF1 protein works in the Arabidopsis, they believe that it is the same with many other plants, including crops such as rice and wheat. This could be useful to the agricultural industry.If we can control when flowers come out, we might be able to increase crop production,”Imaizumi said.（1）The passage is mainly about _.A . howplants “know” when to flowerB . what people can do with plantsC . how seasons are changingD . what kind of plant Arabidopsis is（2）Scientists found the FKF1 protein when they were _.A . answering a question B . controlling the clours of flowersC . planting flowers in the gardenD . studying a plant called Arabidopsis（3）The best time for flowers to come out is when _.A . it rains in springB . there is light in the late afternoonC . it is getting dark D . the sun goes down early（4）Scientists believe that _.A . other plants also know when to flowersB . flowers are more valuable than fruits and vegetablesC . people have known how to control when flowers come outD . if the weather is cold and days are short, plants will flower23. （8分）根据短文内容，选择正确答案。DAstronauts (宇航员) face many problems when living in space stations. One of them is food. People on Earth put together all the meals first and then send these meals to space stations by space shuttle. Because the food has to last a long time (sometimes up to three months), people have to store a lot of it in cans. The space station does not have a fridge, but it has a cool room to keep fruit and vegetables fresh. Astronauts also eat many other foods such as dried meat that do not need special care.Without the help of gravity sitting down to eat can be difficult. Astronauts sometimes have to fix themselves to the wall while eating. They also have to be very careful so that food does not float away.（1）One of the problems astronauts face is _.A . lightB . foodC . clothesD . oxygen（2）How can people send the meals to space stations?A . By car.B . By train.C . By plane.D . By space shuttle.（3）People have to store the food in _.A . cansB . bagsC . boxesD . bottles（4）_ help(s) to keep fruit and vegetables flesh.A . The space shuttleB . The fridgeC . The cool roomD . The cans24. （6分） For a long time, humans have used technology (科技) to study the world around us, and Mars is the latest place were using machines to explore. Besides the earth, the “red planet” is seen, as the one place in our solar system most likely to have life.Early last month, the first American robot, Spirit, landed on Mars without any problem. Opportunity, the second robot, landed on the planet more than a week ago. Scientists are very excited about these machines safe landing on Mars. It means that now we have an excellent chance to look for water and other signs of life. So far, the robots have found some stones that could show Mars was once a wet and warm planet.But the trips made by Spirit and Opportunity were dangerous. Mars is often called the “death planet”, because in the past its environment has been unfriendly to the robot explorers. Before Spirit and Opportunity, nearly forty spaceships had been sent to Mars since the 1960s. Two-thirds of them failed. The first spaceship, Korabl, sent in 1962 by Russia was among them. It broke apart (分裂) near the earth.（1）For a long time humans think _.A . they can surely find life on MarsB . there may be life on MarsC . its too late for them to explore Mars nowD .

Spirit and Opportunity landed on Mars successfullyD . Mars is called the “death planet”25. （8分）根据短文理解，完成下列各题。ABefore the spring Festival, which is the most important festival in China, millions of passengers are struggling to make the once-a-year trip home.
