25、re in trouble. Weve been using them to hide our waste -such as pouring oil, plastic, and poisonous chemicals into them for decades. Weve over exploited (剥削) many fish stocks to levels so low that they can no longer be harvested.Oceans are also a primary source of protein for millions of people world
26、wide. If we want to continue to enjoy what oceans provide, we need to do everything we can to protect them and the life they support.

When highly naturally-born varieties are crossed, their next generations are taller, hardier, and bear more grain
34、, Researchers report that this vigor is somehow influenced by microbes (微生物) in the soil, perhaps through a plants immune system .Charles Darwin was one of the first researchers to describe hybrid vigor. In the early 20th century, biologists began to apply this effect to agriculture by creating natu
35、rally-born parent plants that produced hybrid seeds. By the 1940s, almost every farmer in the United States was planting hybrid corn, and the harvests multiplied.Biologists have proposed several theories about the cause of hybrid vigor, but no definitive explanation has emerged.Maggie Wagner, plant
36、biologist at the University of Kansas, and her colleagues wondered whether microbes might be it involved. Last year, Wagner and her colleagues found an interesting clue in a field study. They discovered that the leaves and roots of hybrid corn had microbial communities that are different from those
37、living on naturally-born varieties of corn. “Something about being a hybrid makes a plant interact differently with microbes,” Wagner says. It could be that the naturally-born corns immune systems react more actively to beneficial microbes, compromising their growth. Alternatively, hybrid plants may
38、 be better able to defend against weak pathogens (病原体) in the soil.Wagner says the finding highlights the need for plant growers to match the hybrid crops to the microbial communities with which they live. The findings help scientist realize the importance of understanding the role of soil microbes
39、in making agriculture more productive and sustainable, “This holds great promise.”32. How did people use the effect of hybrid vigor in agriculture?A. By producing naturally-born parent plants that bore hybrid seeds.B. By creating naturally-born parent lines that produced hybrid vigor.C. By providing
40、 more microbes communities that could produce more seeds.D. By looking for hybrid parent plants in the field that produced hybrid seeds.33. What can we know from paragraph 4?A. Hybrid plants react worse to weak pathogens in the soil.B. Wagner connected hybrid vigor with microbial communities.C. Bein
41、g naturally-born makes a plant interact differently with microbes.D. Hybrid corn and naturally-born corn have similar microbial communities.34. What effect would Wagners finding have?A. Making farmers know what to grow to resist certain diseasesB. Helping scientist realize the importance of spreadin
42、g soil microbes.C. Showing the significance of associating soil microbes with specific crops.D. Highlighting the need for plant growers to find more microbial communities.35. What may be the best title for the text?A. Hybrid corn: a double-edged swordB. How can farmers grow hybrid crops?C. Hybrid vi
