32、tion D. A Familys Collection HistoryDNature has its own way of balancing itself out, but when we humans 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,
33、 those sinks cant keep up.Scientists at the Max Planck Institute in Germany, led by biologist Tobias Erb, 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 effi
34、cient at absorbing carbon, so that they consumed more carbon in a shorter amount of time. “If you think 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 e
35、nzymes(酶) from nine different organisms, re-6engineering three of them, that had an enlarged carbon consumption. 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 mol
36、ecules(摩尔) of CO2 per second. The team of enzymes that Erb used consumed 80 molecules per second.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
37、tests show that plants really can be supercharged, we could have a new tool in the fight against 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.
38、 Why cant forests and oceans balance nature?A. Because oceans and forests are getting smaller.B. Because we human beings give off too much CO2.C. Because a large number of forests are cut down.D. Because there are too many creatures in the world.33. Which is the key defense against climate change ac
39、cording to Erb and his team?A. To increase the plants ability and efficiency to absorb CO2.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?
40、A. The enzymes have proved useful in real world.B. The technology has worked against climate change.C. The enzymes have not been used in the lab.D. The technology may have a bright future.55. This passage is intended to _.A. introduce a possible way to better plants ability of absorbing CO2B. call o
