12、rand Design，for instance，he recounts how，in 1277，the Catholic Church declared scientific laws such as gravity to be wrong，since they seemed against Gods idea.“Interestingly，”the text adds jokingly，“Pope John was killed by the effects of the law of gravity a few months later when the roof of his pala

13、ce fell in on him.”Hawking was only 21 when he was diagnosed with the disease ALS.For most people，the condition would have been a disaster.But Hawking rolled over hardship as if it were just a pebble under his wheelchair.“Life would be tragic，”he once said，“if it werent funny.”He kept smiling even t

14、hough he spent more than 4 years in a wheelchair.“He loved adventure and fun，”says Mlodinow，who once took Hawking on a punt-boat trip down the fiver Cam in Cambridge，England，despite the obvious danger of the boat turning over.“You know about when he went on the Vomit Comet? Its a plane that flies in

15、 a parabolic(抛物线的)path so you are weightless，like you are in space.A lot of people vomit，but he loved that sort of thing.”And he was 65 at the time.Hawkings greatest hit，humor-wise，was probably the cocktail party he threw in 2009.It was a“welcome reception for future time travelers，”he said，so natur

16、ally，he sent out the invitations the day after the party.No one showed up yet.“Maybe one day someone living in the future will find the information and use a wormhole time machine to come back to my party，proving that time travel will one day be possible，”Hawking explained.And if that happens，dont b

20、gly think that cities dont have farms and fruits and vegetables are only grown in the country. Believe it or not, there are more urban farms popping up in cities all over the world.Alexandra Sullivan, a food systems researcher in New York, studies urban agriculture. Urban agriculture is another name

21、 for farming and gardening in a city environment. Ms. Sullivan studies everything from tiny gardens in empty lots between buildings to bigger fields that have been planted and grown. According to Ms. Sullivan, “Urban agriculture has existed since cities have, across the world.”The number of humans l

22、iving in urban areas, or cities, is increasing. The amount of people who wanted to garden in urban areas is also rising. Ms. Sullivan says, “In small gardens, on rooftops and indoors, city residents grow fruits, vegetables, grains, and herbs, and raise animals to produce milk, eggs, honey, and meat.

23、 City residents use these foods as supplements to food produced by rural agriculture.” Even though some people who live in urban areas grow crops, urban residents still need to rely on food grown in rural areas. This is because a city doesnt have enough space to grow enough food for everyone living

24、in it.In New York City, urban farmers have come up with many different ways to grow their own produce, even though there isnt a lot of room.

25、rooftop space. This makes Brooklyn Grange one of the largest rooftop farming operations in the world.Brooklyn Grange grows all kinds of things. The farming company sells its vegetables to local residents and restaurants. And because the farms are on rooftops, they are specially adapted to their urba

27、 has developed recently.BUrban agriculture takes too much city space.CUrban agriculture has a history as long as cities.DUrban agriculture can take the place of rural agriculture.2、For traditional agriculture, urban agriculture is a(n) _.Amodel BadditionCcompetitor Dreplacement3、What can we learn ab

38、 puzzle that confused even Charles Darwin: How flowers evolved and spread to become the most important plants on Earth.Flowering plants, or angiosperms, make up about 90% of all living plant species.

41、State University in California, US and other researchers wondered if the size of the plants genetic materialor genomemight be important. They analysed data held by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, on the genome size of hundreds of plants, including flowering plants, gymnosperms (a group of plants inc

42、luding conifers) and fems. They then compared genome size with anatomical (结构上的) features.This provides “strong evidence”, that the success and rapid 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

43、 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 which plants use light energy to turn carbon dioxide and water into sugar and oxygen.The researchers say genomedownsizing happened only in the angiospe
