37、方法。1解析:空后是说将所有需要的东西带上太空是不切合实际的;据此可推知,空处应是介绍空后一句的原因;故D项“带任何东西到太空的花费大约是每千克22 000美元”符合语境。答案:D2解析:根据空前一句可知,植物可以为宇航员提供新鲜的东西;根据空后一句可知,植物还可以改善太空站的空气质量,因为其可以产生氧气;据此可推知,空处应是介绍太空种植植物的好处,即宇航员也喜欢在他们的干粮中有新鲜的果蔬食物,故F项正确。答案:F3解析:上文介绍了太空种植的好处,即为宇航员提供新鲜的果蔬、改善太空站的空气质量等;结合下文可知,种植太空果蔬有一定的困难;据此可知,空处承上启下,与上文形成转折关系,故B项正确。答案:B4解析:根据上文可知,在失重的情况下,植物的根和叶不知道如何生长,水分也不容易从根部传到叶子上;而空后一句介绍了关于土壤的解决方法;据此可推知,空处应是介绍解决上述问题的方法,故E项“正在研制专门的容器去帮助植物正确地生长”符合语境。答案:E5解析:根据空前一句可知,科学家们正在寻找各种让植物少使用水,在太空快速生长,而且可以抵抗病害的方法;且下文又提到改良后的植物对地球的影响;据此可推知,空处应是说明这些方法可以在地球上运用以带来改善,故C项正确。答案:C
