And also, like people, the response to that stress can determine success.Bad environmental conditions, such
18、as drought,flood, heat and other stresses, affect yields more than crop pests and diseases. We are trying to find a way to equip plants with the ability to tolerate environmental stress and maintain high yields,said Stephen Howell,a professor of genetics and cell biology.Plant cells produce proteins
19、 and ship them to different parts of the cell. Under normal conditions, these proteins are folded into their normal, healthy structures as they are produced. When a plant is under stress, its cells produce poorly folded or unfolded proteins.Then a built-in system senses this and sets off an alarm in
20、 the cell, said Howell.In response to the alarm, another protein（IRE1）starts working and creates a different process which activates the stress response genes whose products bring about defensive measures that help the plant survive.“As it turns out, responses that are activated under stress conditi
21、ons actually inhibit the growth of plants,” said Howell. “This allows them to preserve their energy to survive the stress conditions.”For plants in the wild, this response is a help for survival, he said. In production of agriculture crops, however, this response reduces yields.“You dont want crop p
22、lants to stop growing,”Howell said.“You want them to continue to grow and produce even though they are under stress.”With the new understanding of this stress response, the next step may be to silence the alarm system,said Howell.What may be important is to disable some of these stress responses. Th
23、at may make the plant more productive under stress conditions.28. According to the text, what causes an alarm in the plant cells?A. The folded proteins.B. The changed proteins.C. The defensive measures.D. The stress response genes.29. What does the energy preserved in the plants under stress conditi

Which of the following is closest to the meaning of the underlined word “inhibit” in Paragraph 5?A. Start.B. Continue.C. Promote.D. Prevent.31. How does How
25、ell intend to make crop plants maintain high yields under stress conditions?A. By making crop plants keep more energy.B. By making crop plants stop growing.C. By making the alarm system stop working.D. By making the alarm system respond quickly.DA new device works like a solar panel, except that it
26、doesnt harvest energy from the sun. It absorbs energy from the cold night sky.A prototype（原型）of the device produced enough electricity at night to power a small light bulb. A bigger version might one day light rooms or charge phones. It also could power electronics in remote or low-resource areas th
27、at lack electricity.The device makes use of the temperature difference between Earth and outer space.It then uses that difference to create electricity. As long as one side of it is cooler than the other, the generator can produce electricity.The cooler side faces the sky and is attached to an alumi
28、num plate. That plate is sealed beneath a transparent（透明的）cover and surrounded with insulation（隔热材料）to keep out heat.The bottom of the generator is attached to an exposed aluminum plate. That plate is warmed by the local air. At night, the top plate can get a couple of degrees Celsius cooler than th
29、e bottom of the generator.Researchers tested a 20-centimeter prototype one clear December night in Stanford,California. The generator produced up to about 25 milliwatts of power per square meter of device. That was enough power to light a small light-emitting diode, or LED bulb. Further improvements
30、 might increase its production to at least 500 milliwatts per square meter. To do that, the system might need more insulation around the cool top plate.The device also could help power remote weather stations or other environmental devices,says Aaswath Raman. He is a materials scientist who worked o
31、n the device at the University of California, Los Angeles. This may be useful in polar regions that dont see sunlight for months at a time,Raman says. “If you have some low-power load and you need to power it through three months of darkness, this might be a way.”32. What can we know about the new d
32、evice?A. It gains energy from the sun.B. It s been widely used in life.C. It is cooler than a solar panel.D. Itll be popular in special areas.33.
