Art museums are full f centuries-ld paintings with details f plants that tday give us clues abut evlutin and breeding.
Exhibited at the Metrplitan Museum f Art in New Yrk City, The Harvesters created in 1565 shws farmers cutting wheat nearly as tall as they are. “Nwadays, if yu walk thrugh a wheat field, yu basically see that wheat is abut knee height. The shrt wheat is essentially a cnsequence f breeding frm the secnd half f the 20th century,” said bilgist Ive De Smet.
Accrding t De Smet, wheat is just ne example f hw histrical artwrks can allw us t track the transfrmatin f crps ver time. He has teamed up with art histrian David Vergauwen t seek similar kinds f artwrks arund the wrld.
As friends since childhd, their interest in plants in artwrks began with a visit t a museum in Russia, where they nticed an ld-lking watermeln in an early-17th-century painting. A watermeln is usually believed t be red n the inside. Hwever, that ne appeared t be pale and white. De Smet assured the painter had dne a pr jb. But Verguawen had a different idea. “This is ne f the best painters ever in that era. S, if he painted it like that, that’s the way it must have lked like.”
Other paintings revealed that there were bth red and white watermelns grwn in the 17th century. The chemical cmpund that makes watermelns red is lycpene （番茄红素）. “There must have been sme srt f mutatin （突变） preventing the accumulatin f that clr. Nw, with all the genetic knwledge that we have f varius plant species, we can lk in mre detail at hw smething cmes abut.”
De Smet and Verguawen hpe t create an nline research database f histrical plant artwrks. They call fr cntributins f art enthusiasts arund the wrld via the scial media. But they cautin, the surce paintings need t be realistic. “If yu’re ging t use, fr example, Picass’s paintings t try and understand what a pear lked like in the early 20th century, yu might be misled.” Instead, such an attempt culd be fruitless.
28. What can we infer abut wheat frm Paragraph 2?
A. It became shrter and shrter as it evlved.
B. It was abut knee height in the 16th century.
C. It might have had n shrt varieties befre the 1950s.
D. It shwed different heights as farmers’ heights changed.
29. What arused De Smet and Verguswen’s interest in histrical plant artwrks?
A. Their lifelng friendship. B. A white watermeln in a painting.
C. Their prfessinal backgrund. D. An argument ver the best painters.
30. Why is Picass mentined in the last paragraph?
A. T give an example f histrical plant artwrk.
B. T shwcase the cntributins f art enthusiasts.
C. T describe the appearance f a pear in the early 20th century.
D. T emphasize the significance f using realistic surce paintings.
31. What is the main idea f the text?
A. Plant evlutin prgresses thrughut histry.
B. Old art prvides fascinating insights int agriculture.
C. Ancient art demnstrates the presence f white watermelns.
D. Plants serve as a ppular subject in numerus histrical artwrks.

The sprty all-electric car frm the Netherlands resembles a BMW car, but is unique: It captures mre carbn than it emits. “Our end gal is t create a mre sustainable future,” said Jens Lahaije, finance manager fr TU/ecmtive, the Eindhven University f Technlgy student team that created the car. Called ZEM, fr zer emissin mbility, the tw-seater huses a Cleantrn lithium-in battery (锂电池) pack, and mst f its parts are 3D-printed frm recycled plastics, Lahaije said. The target is t minimize carbn dixide emitted during the car’s full lifespan, frm manufacturing t recycling, he added.
Battery electric vehicles emit virtually n CO2 during peratin cmpared with cmbustin-engine (燃烧式发动机) vehicles, but battery cell prductin can create s much pllutin that it can take EVs tens f thusands f miles t achieve “carbn parity (相同)” with cmparable fssil-fueled mdels.
“Direct air capture is a fairly new methd f cleaning the air by capturing CO2 int a filter (过滤器). We have made use f this innvative technlgy and implemented this in ur car. The idea is very simple: while driving, air will mve thrugh ur self-designed filters and the CO2 will be captured and stred.” ZEM uses tw filters that can capture up t 2 kilgrams (4.41 lb) f CO2 ver 20,000 miles f driving, the Eindhven team estimated. They imagine a future when filters can be emptied at charging statins, based n the fact that there are a natinwide charging infrastructure, which includes residential, cmmercial and public chargers acrss the cuntry installed by the Energy Department, autmakers and private businesses.
The students are shwing their vehicle n a US prmtinal tur t universities and cmpanies frm the East Cast t Silicn Valley, hping t attract mre financial supprt.
It is hard t tell where the future will take the electric vehicles, but it is clear that they hld a lt f ptential fr creating a mre sustainable future. In the end, nly time will tell what rad electric vehicles will take in the future.
32. What advantage des the newly-designed car have?
A. It lks like a BMW car. B. It is a drive-less car.
C. It’s a carbn-eating electric vehicle. D. It purifies air autmatically.
33. What is paragraph 3 mainly abut?
A. The functin f filters.
B. The benefits f direct air capture.
C. The applicatin prspect f the technlgy.
D. The perating principle f the technlgy.
34. What prblem d the student team face accrding t the passage?
A. Lack f research fund. B. Unpredictable applicatin prspect.
C. N permissin frm the gvernment. D. Strng bjectin frm the car cmpanies.
35. What is Jens Lahaije’s attitude tward the future f the sprty all-electric car?
A. Dubtful. B. Cnfident. C. Cncerned. D. Pessimistic.
