25、ke up about 90% of all living plant species. In the distant past, they outpaced (超过 ) plants such as conifers and fems (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
26、 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. Cha
27、rles 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 materialor genomemight be important. They analysed
28、 data held by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, on the genome size of hundreds of plants, including flowering plants, gymnosperms (a group of plants including conifers) and fems. They then compared genome size with anatomical (结构上的) features. This provides “strong evidence”, that the success and rapid
29、 spread of flowering plants around he 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 tum, this allows greater carbon dioxide uptake (摄入)and carbon gain from photosynthesis, the process by
30、which plants use light energy to turn carbon dioxide and water into sugar and oxygen. The researchers say genomedownsizing happened only in the angiosperms, and his was “a necessary condition for rapid growth rates among land plants”.28. What do you know about angiosperms?A.

37、ed her.Gracie sets out all her efforts to get her bosses to do what they had originally promised her, but they 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 re
