9、aps more than 16 million degrees at the center. The Sun is so much hotter than the Earth that matter can exist only as a gas, except at the core. In the core of the Sun, the pressures are so great against the gases that, despite the high temperature, there may be a small solid core. However, no one

10、really knows, since the center of the Sun can never be directly observed. Solar astronomers do know that the Sun is divided into five layers or zones. Starting at the outside and going down into the Sun, the zones are the corona, chromosphere, photosphere, convection zones, and finally the core. The

11、 first three zones are regarded as the Sun s atmosphere. But since the Sun has no solid surface, it is hard to tell where the atmosphere ends and the main body of the Sun begins. The Suns outermost layer begins about 10,000 miles above the visible surface and goes outward for millions of miles. This

12、 is the only part of the Sun that can be seen during an eclipse such as the one in February 1979. At any other time, the corona can be seen only when special instruments are used on cameras and telescopes to shut out the glare of the Suns rays. The corona in brilliant, pearly white, filmy light, abo

13、ut as bright as the full Moon. Its beautiful rays are a sensational sight during an eclipse. The corona s rays flash out in a brilliant fan that has wispy spike-like rays near the Suns north and south poles. The corona is thickest at the Suns equator. The corona rays are made up of gases streaming o

14、utward at tremendous speeds and reaching a temperature of more than 2 million degree Fahrenheit. The rays of gas thin out as they reach the space around the planets. By the time the Suns corona rays reach the Earth, they are weak and invisible. 16 The temperature at the center of the Sun is much hig

29、Salty“ Rice Plant Boosts Harvests British scientists are breeding a new generation of rice plants that will be able to grow in soil containing saltwater. Their work may enable abandoned farms to become productive once more. Tim Flowers and Tony Yeo, from Sussex Universitys School of Biological Scien

30、ces, have spent several years researching how crops, such as rice, could be made to grow in water that has become salty. The pair have recently begun a three-year programme, funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council, to establish which genes enable some plants to survive s

31、alty conditions. The aim is to breed this capability into crops, starting with rice. It is estimated that each year more than 1Om hectares (公顷 ) of agricultural land are lost because salt gets into the soil and stunts (妨碍生长 ) plants, The problem is caused by several factors. In the tropics, mangrove

32、s (红树林 ) that create swamps (沼泽 ) and traditionally formed barriers to sea water have been cut down. In the Mediterranean, a series of droughts have caused the water table to drop, allowing sea water to seep (渗透 ) in. In Latin America, irrigation often causes problems when water is evaporated (蒸发 )

33、by the heat, leaving salt deposits behind. Excess salt then enters the plants and prevents them functioning normally. Heavy concentrations of minerals in the plants stop them drawing up the water they need to survive. To overcome these problems, Flowers and Yeo decided to breed rice plants that take

34、 in very little salt and store what they do absorb in cells that do not affect the plants growth. They have started to breed these characteristics into a new rice crop, but it will take about eight harvests before the resulting seeds are ready to be considered for commercial use. Once the characteri

35、stics for surviving salty soil are known, Flowers and Yeo will try to breed the appropriate genes into all manners of crops and plants. Land that has been abandoned to nature will then be able to bloom again, providing much needed food in the poorer countries of the world. 31 Which of the following

37、 （ B） to identify genes that promote growth in salty soil. （ C） to breed rice plants that taste salty. （ D） to find ways to remove excessive salt from soil. 33 Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a cause of the problem discussed in the passage? （ A） Natural barriers to sea water have been des

38、troyed. （ B） The water table has gone down after droughts. （ C） Sea level has been continuously rising. （ D） Evaporation of water leaves salt behind. 34 The word “affect“ in Paragraph 6 could be best replaced by （ A） influence. （ B） effect. （ C） stop. （ D） present. 35 The attitude of the author towa

39、rds the research project is （ A） positive. （ B） negative. （ C） suspicious. （ D） indifferent. 36 Living with Computer After too long on the Net, even a phone call can be a shock.

44、lding a half-sipped drink. We have become the Net opponents worst nightmare. What first seemed like a luxury, crawling from bed to computer, not worrying about hair, and clothes and face, has become an avoidance, a lack of discipline.
