Most people may not think that there are any problems with watermelons (西瓜),but some Japanese sellers do.There is often wasted space when they store watermelon because round watermelons do not sit nicely on shelves.(66)B They make their watermelons grow in square (正方形的) glass boxes so the watermelons become square.The only problem now is the price which is about 80dollars each.
Many people know the saying"Roses are red,violets are blue,sugar is sweet and so are you."(67)E Australian scientists have just recently discovered that when they put a chemical from a blue flower into a rose,they can create a nearly 100% blue rose.Some of scientists'inventions are beautiful,not just useful.
(68)D For many years Chinese scientists have been working on developing new kinds of stronger rice and now they have produced a new kind called super rice.Super rice not only can protect itself against insects (害虫) and diseases,but it also produces more than any other kind of rice.Today farmers can grow almost one and a half times more rice than they could grow in the past.
(69)C US scientists have discovered a way to put a chemical into tomato plants while they are growing.When cancer patients eat the tomatoes,the tomatoes will fight the cancer in their bodies.These cancer-fighting vegetables are not yet for sale.(70)A If study finds no problems with tomatoes,then patients can begin to use this easy and delicious new treatment.
分析 这篇短文主要描述了科学技术在农业种植方面带来的新变化.让西瓜生长在方形玻璃盒子,让西瓜成为方形.方便摆放储存,澳大利亚的科学家刚刚发现当他们把蓝色花朵里的一种化学物质放到玫瑰中,他们可以产出几乎100%蓝色的玫瑰.中国的科学家发现了超级水稻的新品种.超级水稻不仅能保护自己不受昆虫与疾病的伤害,并且它们能比其他品种有更高的产量.如今人们能生产比过去多1.5倍的稻米.医生可能可以用蔬菜治疗癌症.美国科学家发现一种在番茄生长时把化学物质种入其中的方法.当癌症患者吃这些番茄时,番茄就会在身体中与癌症对抗.这种治疗癌症的蔬菜还没对外销售,因为科学家还没结束对它们的检测.如果测试发现这些番茄没有问题,病人就可以开始采取这种简单又好吃的新治疗方法了.
