32、 Vegetables in SpaceHave you ever dreamed of travelling in space? Well, you may not go, but you may be able to eat vegetables grown from seeds that have! China, the USA and Russia have all become interested in whether it is possible to eat food grown from seeds that have been in space. Indeed since

O

34、ne of the most exciting moments was when soybean seeds were brought back to Earth and planted.

36、s a slow procedure on Earth so the scientists hope that it can be speeded up in space. Perhaps the seeds may also develop some characteristics that will be useful for farmers-for example, produce more oil or protein.However the scientists are aware that there may be problems. “Conditions in outer sp

37、ace such as radiation and low gravity may cause big changes in the seeds,” said Jin Xing, a Chinese researcher. He knows that genetically modified food is still being debated and so some people will be very suspicious of these “space vegetables”. However Jin has a more positive view. He thinks that

38、unlike genetically modified crops, no new genes are being introduced into space vegetables so they will be safe.The Chinese government certainly thinks so because they have been cooperating with NASA to produce a new strain of virus-free potatoes. Their scientists hope that in space it may be possib

44、 is that producing a new strain of soybean is a slow procedure on Earth so the scientists hope that it can be speeded up in space.(问题是在地球上生产一种新的大豆品种是一个缓慢的过程，因此科学家们希望可以在太空中加速这个过程)”可知，科学家们希望可以在太空中比在地球上更快地培育出一种新的大豆品种，减少在地球上培育新的大豆品种的难度，因此该短语的意思是“使事情更容易”。故选B项。【14题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段的“He thinks that unlike gen

45、etically modified crops, no new genes are being introduced into space vegetables so they will be safe. (他认为，与转基因作物不同，太空蔬菜没有引入新基因，因此它们是安全的)”可知，金先生对太空蔬菜持积极态度是因为没有新基因被引入太空蔬菜。故选C项。【15题详解】推理判断题。根据第五段的“So watch out for these special potatoes on the supermarket shelves. Maybe some day you will find them on
