19、sts think they have the answer to a 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. In the distant past, they outpaced (超过) plants such as conifers a

20、nd 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 and conifers. Then, about 150 million years ago, the first flowering plants appeared on the scene. They quickly

21、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. Charles Darwin himself called it a“mystery”, fearing this apparent sudden leap might challenge his theory of evolutio

22、n.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 data held by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, on the genome size of hundreds of plants, including flowering plants,

23、 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 spread of flowering plants around he world is due to “genome downsizing.”By shrinking the size of the genome, which

24、 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 which plants use light energy to turn carbon dioxide and water into sugar and oxygen.The researchers say genomedowns

25、izing happened only in the angiosperms, and his was “a necessary condition for rapid growth rates among land plants”.1、What do you know about angiosperms?AThey are dominant plants on Earth.BThey are rare plants in South Africa.CThey are topical plants in South Asia.DThey are extinct plants in the wo

Now a Chinese toad(蟾蜍)has joined that club of clever survivors.South Africans are shocked at the endurance of a toad that got trapped in a cargo shipment from China to Cape Town, after jumping into a porcelain(瓷器) candlestick（烛台）

29、 that was made there. South African officials reportedly planned to put down the creature, fearing it would cause harm as an invasive species if it were let go in the wild.But the toad got a last-minute pardon. Mango Airlines, a South African airline, transported the toad on Friday to Johannesburg f

30、or delivery to an animal shelter, after officials decided to find a way to let the toad live. The two-hour fight was a breeze compared to the trip from China, a long way of many weeks and thousands of kilometers across the Indian Ocean.Airline spokesman Hein Kaiser said the toad got “first-class tre

31、atment”, sitting in a transparent plastic container with escort Brett Glasby, an animal welfare inspector. There was even a ceremony, in which the toads boarding pass was handed to Glasby.“He was the star of the show on the flight,” Kaiser said of the amphibious(两栖的) passenger. “I think every passen

32、ger stopped to have a look.”On landing in Johannesburg, the toad was brought out of its container for a celebrity-style photo shoot. Observers said the brown toad seemed like a cool customer. It belongs to the Asian Toad species, which breeds during the monsoon(季风) season. It is believed to have sur

38、e late 2010s, vs the mid-2000s, experienced serious psychological distress, major depression and more attempted suicide (自杀)”, says lead researcher Jean Twenge, professor of psychology at San Diego State University. “These trends are weak or non-existent among adults 26 years and over, suggesting a

39、generational shift in mood disorders instead of an overall increase across all ages.”Twenge believes this trend is partially due to the explosion of digital culture over the past decade, which may have twisted modes of social interaction enough to affect mood disorders.The study analyzed data from t

There was also a 71 percent jump in young adults experiencing serious psychological distress in the previous 30 days from 2008 to 203.So whats so different now? Twenge says research shows young people just arent getting as much shuteye as they di

42、d in previous generations.Whereas older Americans might have established more stability in their lives, sleep-disrupting social stressors are likely at their peak for teens and young adults in this digital era, she says. Older adults are also less likely to let devices interfere (干预) with sleep.Thes

43、e results suggest a need for more research to understand how digital communication versus face-to-face social interaction influences mood disorders and to develop specialized interventions for younger age groups.Her suggestion? Put your phone down at least an hour before bedtime.1、How is Paragraph 6

44、 developed?ABy stating facts.BBy giving examples.CBy providing statistics.DBy presenting theories.2、What might Professor Twenge agree with?AMood disorders show no difference across all ages.BTeens are less likely to let devices interfere with sleep.CDigital cultural explosion might cause depression

After almost five million games played against itself, AlphaGo Zero could outplay humans and the original AlphaGo. After 40 days, it was capable of beating AlphaGo Master.The program learned the stra

49、tegies humans accumulated over thousands of years in a matter of weeks and also developed nontraditional strategies and moves that beat the techniques of the human masters, leaving them astonished. “At each stage of the game, it seems to gain a bit here and lose a bit there, but somehow it ends up s

51、d problems like designing new materials,” said Demis Hassabis, co-founder and CEO of DeepMind, in a statement.real worldThat sounds great, but just as a precaution, lets take the advice of Elon Musk and Stephen Hawking and keep any superfast learning AI away from the nuclear launch codes for now.1、W
