段落信息配对题
Questions 33-37
Reading Passage 3 has eight sections, A-H.
Which section contains the following information?
Write the correct letter, A-H, in boxes 33-37 on your answer sheet.
Q27
mention of specialists who can make use of the research findings
分析
题干中可以划关键词的有specialists, 在原文中可能会对应专家的姓名，也有可能对应具体领域的专家，如biologists, chemists 等，这个讲述的是实验结果的应用，所以一般靠后出现。
定位
HThe new findings are the culmination of twelve years of research involving scientists from Germany, Argentina and the US, as well as the Cambridge team. The work was done in a model system, using a mustard plant called Arabidopsis, but Wigge says the phytochrome genes necessary for temperature sensing are found in crop plants as well. ‘Recent advances in plant genetics now mean that scientists are able to rapidly identify the genes controlling these processes in crop plants, and even alter their activity using precise molecular “scalpels”,’adds Wigge. ‘Cambridge is uniquely well-positioned to do this kind of research as we have outstanding collaborators nearby who work on more applied aspects of plant biology, and can help us transfer this new knowledge into the field.’
答案
上文最后一句中的collaborators【合作者】nearby who work on more applied aspects of plant biology（这是专家的具体身份，也就是说他们是应用植物生物学专家）对应题干中的specialists， 后半句中的help us transfer this new knowledge into the field【把这个新知识运用到农田中去】对应题干中的make use of the research findings，所以这道题选H。
Q28
a reference to a potential benefit of the research findings
分析
题干中可以划关键词的有potential benefit，在原文中可能会对应将来时态和具体的好处。
定位
DWith weather and temperatures set to become ever more unpredictable due to climate change, researchers say the discovery that this light-sensing molecule also functions as the internal thermometer in plant cells could help us breed tougher crops. ‘It is estimated that agricultural yields will need to double by 2050, but climate change is a major threat to achieving this. Key crops such as wheat and rice are sensitive to high temperatures. Thermal stress reduces crop yields by around 10% for every one degree increase in temperature,’says lead researcher Dr Philip Wigge from Cambridge’s Sainsbury Laboratory. ‘Discovering the molecules that allow plants to sense temperature has the potential to accelerate the breeding of crops resilient to thermal stress and climate change.’
答案
上文最后一句中的Discovering the molecules that allow plants to sense temperature
对应题干中的the research findings，最后一句中的has the potential对应题干中的potential, 最后一句中的accelerate the breeding of crops resilient to thermal stress and climate change【加速培养对高温的压力和气候变化有抵抗力的庄稼】对应题干中的benefit，所以这道题选D。
Q29
scientific support for a traditional saying
分析
题干中可以划关键词的有scientific和traditional，两者之间是相互支持的关系，最好出现在一句话里。
定位
GSome plants mainly use day length as an indicator of the season. Other species, such as daffodils, have considerable temperature sensitivity, and can flower months in advance during a warm winter. In fact, the discovery of the dual role of phytochromes provides the science behind a well-known rhyme long used to predict the coming season: oak before ash we’ll have a splash, ash before oak we’re in for a soak.
Wigge explains: ‘Oak trees rely much more on temperature, likely using phytochromes as thermometers to dictate development, whereas ash trees rely on measuring day length to determine their seasonal timing. A warmer spring, and consequently a higher likeliness of a hot summer, will result in oak leafing before ash. A cold spring will see the opposite. As the British know only too well, a colder summer is likely to be a rain-soaked one.’
答案
上文第 一小段第二句中的provides the science对应题干中的scientific support, 第二句中的a well-known rhyme【著 名的韵文】对应题干中的a traditional saying
，所以这道题选G。
Q30
a reference to people traditionally making plans based on plant behavior
分析
题干中可以划关键词的有people，可能会对应具体的一类人，题干中的plan在原文中对应具体的一个活动。
定位
CFarmers and gardeners have known for hundreds of years how responsive plants are to temperature: warm winters cause many trees and flowers to bud early, something humans have long used to predict weather and harvest times for the coming year. The latest research pinpoints for the first time a molecular mechanism in plants that reacts to temperature - often triggering the buds of spring we long to see at the end of winter.
答案
上文第 一句中的Farmers and gardeners可以对应题干中的people, 第 一句的have known for hundreds of years对应题干中的traditionally， 第 一句中的used to predict weather and harvest times for the coming year对应题干中的making plans， 第 一句中的how responsive plants are to temperature对应题干中的plant behavior，所以这道题选C。
Q31
a reference to where the research has been reported
分析
题干中可以划关键词的有research， 题干中的where在原文中对应具体的地点。
定位
夏日热烈到来，见证了我们的成长与告别，将所有纯粹的快乐与悲伤承载进枝繁叶茂的绿色，让我们一起走进雁塔高校，去寻觅这抹绿，找寻那关于青春与夏日的记忆碎片吧！
A An international team of scientists led by the University of Cambridge has discovered that the ‘thermometer’molecule in plants enables them to develop according to seasonal temperature changes. Researchers have revealed thatmolecules called phytochromes - used by plants to detect light during the day - actually change their function in darkness to become cellular temperature gauges that measure the heat of the night. The new findings, published in the journal Science, show that phytochromes control genetic switches in response to temperature as well as light to dictate plant development.
答案
上文最后一句中的the new findings对应题干中的the research， 最后一句的published对应题干中的has been reported， 最后一句的in the journal Science对应题干中的where，所以这道题选A。
