Recent research has fund that Martian (火星的) sil cntains all the essential nutrients necessary fr grwing rice, planetary scientist Abhilash Ramachandran f the University f Arkansas in Fayetteville, reprted at the Lunar and Planetary Science Cnference, prviding new pssibilities fr agriculture n the Red Planet.
The study, cnducted by a team f researchers frm the University f Arkansas in Fayetteville, tested simulated (模拟的) Martian sil t determine its suitability fr grwing rice. The researchers fund that the sil cntained all the essential nutrients needed fr the crp t grw.
Hwever, it wuld be a bit challenging fr the plants t survive in the sil that has perchlrate, a chemical that has been detected n Mars’ surface and can be pisnus t plants.
The team grew rice plants in a Martian sil simulant primarily made f Mjave Desert basalt (玄武岩). Hwever, the new-grwn plants develped slighter shts and thinner rts than the plants that grew frm the ptting mix. Even replacing just 25 percent f the simulant with a ptting mix made a big difference, the team fund.
The team f researchers then cnducted an experiment t grw rice in sil cntaining perchlrate. They used a wild rice variety and tw genetically edited varieties, which were designed t stand up t envirnmental stressrs such as drught, and tested them in Mars-simulated sil with and withut perchlrate.
The study revealed that a cncentratin f three grams f perchlrate per kilgram f sil resulted in n grwth f rice plants. Hwever, when the cncentratin was reduced t ne gram per kilgram, ne f the genetically edited lines successfully grew bth a sht and a rt, while the wild variety was nly able t grw a rt.
“We want t send humans t Mars but we cannt take everything there. It’s ging t be expensive,” said Ramachandran. The discvery culd be a game-changer fr future missins t Mars, as it culd enable astrnauts t grw their wn fd n the planet, reducing the need fr cstly and cmplex resupply missins.
32．Hw did the researchers cnduct their study?
A．By asking questins.B．By carrying ut experiments.
C．By making a case study.D．By referring t frmer studies.
33．The gene-edited variety grws better in ne kilgram f sil cntaining ______.
A．ne gram f perchlrateB．tw grams f perchlrate
C．three grams f perchlrateD．fur grams f perchlrate
34．Why did the researchers want t grw rice n Mars?
A．T find a wnderful way t make mney.
B．T supprt the grwing ppulatin n Earth.
C．T help astrnauts feed themselves n Mars.
D．T enable peple t eat new varieties f rice.
35．What’s the best title fr the text?
A．What Shuld We Grw n Mars?
B．Hw Did Martian Sil Change Over Time?
C．Peple Are Likely t Live n Mars Years Later
