4.(10分)Scientists at the University of Florida(UF) have grown plants in soil that came from the Moon.The plants didn't grow as well as those grew in soil from Earth,but the experiment marks an important step towards growing plants on the Moon.
The Moon's soil is called "regolith",and there's not a lot of it on Earth.NASA has most of it.which was collected over 50 years ago.Because the regolith is so valuable,it took the UF scientists 11 years to persuade NASA to allow them to use it.
NASA didn't give them much soil.The regolith came from three different NASA space flights—Apollo 11,12 and 17.The soil from Apollo 11 was taken from the top layer of the Moon's surface.The rest came from deeper layers of the Moon's soil.
The scientists chose a special plant for their experiment.It's a small plant related to broccoli that can grow in very little soil.Scientists know a lot about the DNA of this plant,which helps them understand how it grows in the soil it's planted in.
By studying changes in the DNA of the plants growing in the Moon's soil,scientists may one day find out new ways to help plants grow better in the Moon's soil.
"The ability to take plants successfully with us to the Moon is how we'll grow our own food."said Dr .Rober Ferl,one of the researchers."Showing that plants will grow in the Moon's soil is actually a huge step in that direction."

C.The experiment carried out by scientists at the UF achieved nothing.

(2)It took the UF scientists 11 years to be allowed to use " regolith " because .
A.it is very valuable
B.it was kept by NASA
C.it was gotten from the Moon

(3)What does the underlined word "persuade"in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Argue with others.
B.Make sb.do sth.
C.Show sth.to others.
D.Sell sth.to others.
(4)Why did scientists choose a plant related to broccoli?
A.Because it needed little soil.
B.Because it would change its DNA.

In order to teach others to follow her project,Vance made a Facebook page.She was surprised that her small project has received encouragement and support from people around the world.Besides China and America,she even received bottle caps from Germany,Australia and Israel.

4.(10分)Scientists at the University of Florida(UF) have grown plants in soil that came from the Moon.The plants didn't grow as well as those grew in soil from Earth,but the experiment marks an important step towards growing plants on the Moon.
The Moon's soil is called "regolith",and there's not a lot of it on Earth.NASA has most of it.which was collected over 50 years ago.Because the regolith is so valuable,it took the UF scientists 11 years to persuade NASA to allow them to use it.
NASA didn't give them much soil.The regolith came from three different NASA space flights—Apollo 11,12 and 17.The soil from Apollo 11 was taken from the top layer of the Moon's surface.The rest came from deeper layers of the Moon's soil.
The scientists chose a special plant for their experiment.It's a small plant related to broccoli that can grow in very little soil.Scientists know a lot about the DNA of this plant,which helps them understand how it grows in the soil it's planted in.
By studying changes in the DNA of the plants growing in the Moon's soil,scientists may one day find out new ways to help plants grow better in the Moon's soil.
"The ability to take plants successfully with us to the Moon is how we'll grow our own food."said Dr .Rober Ferl,one of the researchers."Showing that plants will grow in the Moon's soil is actually a huge step in that direction."

B.Make sb.do sth.
C.Show sth.to others.
D.Sell sth.to others.
(4)Why did scientists choose a plant related to broccoli? A

【解答】(1)细节理解题。根据第一段第二句The plants didn't grow as well as those grew in soil from Earth,but the experiment marks an important step towards growing plants on the Moon.(这些植物的生长不如在地球土壤中生长的植物,但这项实验标志着朝着在月球上种植植物迈出了重要一步。)可知,月球土壤中的植物生长得比地球土壤中的更差。故选D。(2)细节理解题。根据第二段第二句Because the regolith is so valuable,it took the UF scientists 11 years to persuade NASA to allow them to use it.(由于月壤非常珍贵,佛罗里达大学的科学家们花了11年时间说服NASA允许他们使用月壤。)可知,月壤是很珍贵的。故选A。

(4)细节理解题。根据第四段第二、三句It's a small plant related to broccoli that can grow in very little soil.Scientists know a lot about the DNA of this plant,which helps them understand how it grows in the soil it's planted in.(可以在很少的土壤中生长。科学家们了解这种植物的DNA,这有助于他们理解它在种植的土壤中生长的方式。)可知,因为它需要很少的土壤。故选A。
(5)标题归纳题。根据第一段第一句Scientists at the University of Florida(UF) have grown plants in soil that came from the Moon.(佛罗里达大学的科学家们已经在来自月球的土壤中种植了植物。)和最后一段最后一句Showing that plants will grow in the Moon's soil is actually a huge step in that direction.(证明植物能够在月球土壤中生长实际上是朝着这个方向迈出的巨大一步。),通读全文可知,科学家在月球土壤中种植植物适合做本文的标题。故选D。
