21、this stone. It was a lovely gesture. She then extended a permanent offer to drive us to any appointments or tests we needed.

27、thought about that story for a long time but something that happened last week brought it back to me. I went to speak with a friend.

34、get involved, we tend to throw things out of control. Forests and oceans are natural carbon sinks that absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, but since weve been pumping too much into the air, those sinks cant keep up. Scientists at the Max Planck Institute in Germany, led by biologist Tobias Er
35、b, have figured out a way to supercharge plants to make them better at absorbing CO2, which could be a key defense against climate change. Erb and his team figured out a way to make plants more efficient at absorbing carbon, so that they consumed more carbon in a shorter amount of time. “If you thin
36、k about plants, they are efficient CO2-fixing filters, but they are not fast, ”Erb said. “I think there is a chance to improve existing biology with synthetic(人造的) biology.”Erbs team identified 17 enzymes(酶) from nine different organisms, re-engineering three of them, that had an enlarged carbon con
37、sumption. When those enzymes worked together as a team, they worked better at not only plants natural enzymes, but also themselves individually. Existing enzymes in plants consume about 5 to 10 molecules(摩尔) of CO2 per second. The team of enzymes - 9 -that Erb used consumed 80 molecules per second.
38、So far, these enzymes have only been tested in test tubes in the lab, but the next step is real world testing where the enzymes would be introduced into plants to see if the same result occurs. If those tests show that plants really can be supercharged, we could have a new tool in the fight against
39、climate change where not only do we protect the amazing carbon-absorbing forests we have, but we also add these super plants or an artificial leaf technology using the enzymes into other mixed fields. 32. Why cant forests and oceans balance nature?A. Because oceans and forests are getting smaller. B
40、. Because a large number of forests are cut down. C. Because we human beings give off too much CO2. D. Because there are too many creatures in the world. 33.

41、B. To make oceans and forests to absorb more CO2 quickly. C. To reduce the humans activities giving off too much CO2. D. To increase the number of plants in the world, 34. What can we get from the last paragraph?A. The enzymes have proved useful in real world. B. The technology has worked against cl
42、imate change. C. The enzymes have not been used in the lab. D. The technology may have a bright future. 35. This passage is intended to .A. call on people to pay more attention to the balance of natureB. introduce a possible way to better plants ability of absorbing CO2C. analyze the cause and resul
