Grwing Vegetables in Space
Have yu ever dreamed f travelling in space? Well, yu may nt g, but yu may be able t eat vegetables grwn frm seeds that have! China, the USA and Russia have all becme interested in whether it is pssible t eat fd grwn frm seeds that have been in space. Indeed since 1987 China has sent 1,000 species f seeds int space t d experiments. These include green peppers, tmates, cucumbers, carrts, lettuce and wheat.
The mst advanced wrk n grwing vegetables in space has been undertaken n the Internatinal Space Statin run by Russian and American astrnauts. One f the mst exciting mments was when sybean seeds were brught back t Earth and planted. These seeds were the first t cme frm a crp grwn entirely in space.
The scientists chse t grw sybeans in space because they are an imprtant surce f prtein in the human diet. Mark Nall, directr f Space Prduct Develpment Prgramme fr Natinal Aernautics and Space Administratin(NASA), said that “this experiment and thers are paving the way fr imprving crps grwn n Earth, as well as ptentially feeding peple living in space.” The prblem is that prducing a new strain f sybean is a slw prcedure n Earth s the scientists hpe that it can be speeded up in space. Perhaps the seeds may als develp sme characteristics that will be useful fr farmers-fr example, prduce mre il r prtein.
Hwever, the scientists are aware that there may be prblems. “Cnditins in uter space such as radiatin and lw gravity may cause big changes in the seeds,” said Jin Xing, a Chinese researcher. He knws that genetically mdified fd is still being debated and s sme peple will be very suspicius f these “space vegetables”. Hwever, Jin has a mre psitive view. He thinks that unlike genetically mdified crps, n new genes are being intrduced int space vegetables s they will be safe.
The Chinese gvernment certainly thinks s because they have been cperating with NASA t prduce a new strain f virus-free ptates. Their scientists hpe that in space it may be pssible t prduce a new crp every 40-50 days instead f ne crp a year. S watch ut fr these special ptates n the supermarket shelves. Maybe sme day yu will find them n yur dinner table!
32．Why did the scientists chse t grw sybeans in space?
A．They knw mre abut sybeans.
B．It’s easy t begin agricultural experiment frm sybeans.
C．The sybeans cntain prtein needed by the human bdy.
D．The sybeans share sme cmmn characteristics with ther plants.
33. What des the underlined phrase “pave the way” in the third paragraph mean?
A. T build a new rad.B. T slve a prblem.
C. T explre a new area.D. T make things easier.
34．Why is Mr Jin psitive abut space vegetables?
A．Astrnauts have tried eating sme space vegetables.
B．Space vegetables are like genetically mdified crps.
C．N new genes are being intrduced int space vegetables.
D．Scientists have fund that it’s safe t eat space vegetables.
35．What is the writer’s pinin abut the space ptat?
A．The new prduct will have a wide market.
B．Peple are lking frward t the new prduct.
C．Peple can buy the new prduct in the supermarket.
D．The new prgramme may prduce a sund crp.

Grwing Vegetables in Space
Have yu ever dreamed f travelling in space? Well, yu may nt g, but yu may be able t eat vegetables grwn frm seeds that have! China, the USA and Russia have all becme interested in whether it is pssible t eat fd grwn frm seeds that have been in space. Indeed since 1987 China has sent 1,000 species f seeds int space t d experiments. These include green peppers, tmates, cucumbers, carrts, lettuce and wheat.
The mst advanced wrk n grwing vegetables in space has been undertaken n the Internatinal Space Statin run by Russian and American astrnauts. One f the mst exciting mments was when sybean seeds were brught back t Earth and planted. These seeds were the first t cme frm a crp grwn entirely in space.
The scientists chse t grw sybeans in space because they are an imprtant surce f prtein in the human diet. Mark Nall, directr f Space Prduct Develpment Prgramme fr Natinal Aernautics and Space Administratin(NASA), said that “this experiment and thers are paving the way fr imprving crps grwn n Earth, as well as ptentially feeding peple living in space.” The prblem is that prducing a new strain f sybean is a slw prcedure n Earth s the scientists hpe that it can be speeded up in space. Perhaps the seeds may als develp sme characteristics that will be useful fr farmers-fr example, prduce mre il r prtein.
Hwever, the scientists are aware that there may be prblems. “Cnditins in uter space such as radiatin and lw gravity may cause big changes in the seeds,” said Jin Xing, a Chinese researcher. He knws that genetically mdified fd is still being debated and s sme peple will be very suspicius f these “space vegetables”. Hwever, Jin has a mre psitive view. He thinks that unlike genetically mdified crps, n new genes are being intrduced int space vegetables s they will be safe.
The Chinese gvernment certainly thinks s because they have been cperating with NASA t prduce a new strain f virus-free ptates. Their scientists hpe that in space it may be pssible t prduce a new crp every 40-50 days instead f ne crp a year. S watch ut fr these special ptates n the supermarket shelves. Maybe sme day yu will find them n yur dinner table!
32．Why did the scientists chse t grw sybeans in space?
A．They knw mre abut sybeans.
B．It’s easy t begin agricultural experiment frm sybeans.
C．The sybeans cntain prtein needed by the human bdy.
D．The sybeans share sme cmmn characteristics with ther plants.
33. What des the underlined phrase “pave the way” in the third paragraph mean?
A. T build a new rad.B. T slve a prblem.
C. T explre a new area.D. T make things easier.
34．Why is Mr Jin psitive abut space vegetables?
A．Astrnauts have tried eating sme space vegetables.
B．Space vegetables are like genetically mdified crps.
C．N new genes are being intrduced int space vegetables.
D．Scientists have fund that it’s safe t eat space vegetables.
35．What is the writer’s pinin abut the space ptat?
A．The new prduct will have a wide market.
B．Peple are lking frward t the new prduct.
C．Peple can buy the new prduct in the supermarket.
D．The new prgramme may prduce a sund crp.
