This was the method our ancestors used to engineer rice, corn and wheat from the wild grasses they encountered. During my chi

21、ldhood, advances in genetic technologies allowed scientists to identify and clone the genes responsible for controlling stem growth, leading to shorter, stronger stalks(茎) that could bear more seedsthe high-yield crops that feed us today. The 21st century has brought with it a marvelous new set of h

22、igh-tech tools with which to further quicken the process of artificial selection. Plant geneticists can now directly edit out or edit in sections of DNA using molecular scissors.

It also contains the right atmosphere to potentially support life. It is, however, 600 light years from Earth. The planet, where

31、 a year lasts 290 days, was first spotted two years ago.However, NASA scientists using the agencys Kepler space telescope have now concluded that it offers the best hope yet for future human habitation outside the Solar System.One of the key standards for a planet to be habitable is that it remains

32、roughly the right distance from its main star to be neither too cold nor too hot.This range of ideal temperatures is known to scientists as the “Goldilocks” zone, as the temperature is “just right” for life.Bill Borucki, Kepler principal investigator at NASA Ames Research Centre, said: “We have now

33、got good planet confirmation with Kepler 22b. We are certain that it is in the habitable zone and if it has a surface it ought to have a nice temperature.”There are now three planets outside the system, known as exoplanets, which experts believe could potentially be colonised (建殖民地) by future genera

34、tions.In May, French astronomers identified Gliese 581d, which is far closer at around 20 light years away. It is about six times the mass (质量) of Earth and is one of a family of at least six planets.In August, a team from Switzerland reported that another planet called HD 85512b and 36 light years

35、away seemed to be habitable.The planet is in the constellation（星座） of Vela, measuring around 3.6 times the Earths mass.According to an online catalogue that indexes bodies outside our solar system, a total of 47 exoplanets and exomoons are potential habitable candidates but not enough research has b

Whether a planet is suitable for mankind to live on doesnt depend on _.A. whether it is close enough to EarthB. whether there are proper temperaturesC. whether there is atmosphere around itD. whether there is land and water on it33. In what way is Kepler 22b like Earth?A

37、. Its mass. B. Its size. C. Its shape. D. Its conditions.34. It can be learnt from the passage that _.A. Kepler 22b is closer to Earth than Gliese 581dB. Kepler 22bs mass is greater than HD 85512bs C. Kepler 22bs year lasts longer than the earthsD. Kepler 22b is most likely to be habitable of all35.

38、 We can infer from the passage that _.A. the farther a planet is away from the earth, the more likely it is to be habitableB. the longer a year of a planet lasts, the farther it is away from the Solar SystemC. the more potential habitable exoplanets are found, the more research we should doD. the sm

Many doctors, for example, dont have enough training to correctly interpret what they see. 38 With Ozcans mobile phon

42、e app, health workers can take a special photo of a blood sample and send it to a central computer at a hospital. The computer will then automatically interpret the photo and send a diagnosis back in a few minutes.39 His technology only requires a mobile phone and an Internet connection. As more tha

43、n four billion people already have cell phones, the cost of establishing the diagnostic system is fairly low.By inventing a medical tool that uses existing technology-mobile phones-Ozcan has developed a medical tool that is both practical and economical. Therefore, it can be effective almost anywher

44、e. 40 A. Another reason that Ozcans invention is important is that it is inexpensive.B. Even though you may only have a simple infection (感染), you might die because of the delay.C. People are trying to reduce the cost of this new medical tool.D. Ozcans simple, cost-effective tool might just save mil
