31、to become a teacher, and in fact, it was Mary who decided to take charge of Phylliss education. Phyllis soon displayed her remarkable talents. At the age of twelve she was reading the Greek and Latin classics and passages from the Bible. And eventually, Mrs. Wheatley decided Phyllis should become a

32、Christian.At the age of thirteen Phyllis wrote her first poem. She became a Boston sensation after she wrote a poem on the death of the evangelical preacher George Whitfield in 1770. It became common practice in Boston to have Mrs. Wheatleys Phyllis read poetry in polite society. Mary married in 177

33、1, and Phyllis later moved to the country because of poor health, as a teacher and caretaker to a farmers three children. Mary had tried to interest publishers in Phylliss poems but once they heard she was a Negro they werent interested.Then in 1773 Phyllis went with Nathaniel, who was now a busines

34、sman, to London. It was thought that a sea voyage might improve her health. Thirty-nine of her poems were published in London as Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral.

42、 physiologists set out to grow roots by themselves in solutions in laboratory flasks. The scientists found that the nutrition of isolated roots was quite simple. They required sugar and the usual minerals and vitamins. However, they did not require organic nitrogen compounds. These roots got along f

43、ine on mineral inorganic nitrogen. Roots are capable of making their own proteins and other organic compounds. These activities by roots require energy, of course. The process of respiration uses sugar to make the high energy compound ATP, which drives the biochemical reactions. Respiration also req

44、uires oxygen. Highly active roots require a good deal of oxygen.The study of isolated roots has provided an understanding of the relationship between shoots and roots in intact plants. The leaves of the shoots provide the roots with sugar and vitamins, and the roots provide the shoots with water and

45、 minerals. In addition, roots can provide the shoots with organic nitrogen compounds. This comes in handy for the growth of buds in the early spring when leaves are not yet functioning. Once leaves begin photosynthesizing, they produce protein, but only mature leaves can export protein to the rest o

46、f the plant in the form of amino acids.What is the main topic of the passage?A The relationship between a plants roots and its shoots.B What can be learned by growing roots in isolation.C How plants can be grown without roots.D What elements are necessary for the growth of plants.第12題The underlined

For example, the vital ingredient in a rose

52、fragrance is extracted from natural rose oil at a cost of thousands of dollars a pound; an identical synthetic substance can be made for 1% of this cost. Since the early twentieth century, success in reproducing these substances has created a new industry that today produces hundreds of artificial f

53、lavors and fragrances.Some natural fragrances are easily synthesized; these include vanillin, the aromatic ingredient in vanilla, and benzaldehyde, the aromatic ingredient in wild cherries. Other fragrances, however, have dozens, even hundreds of components. Only recently has it been possible to sep

54、arate and identify these ingredients by the use of gas chromatography and spectroscopy. Once the chemical identity is known, it is often possible to synthesize them. Nevertheless, some complex substances, such as the aroma of fresh coffee, have still not been duplicated satisfactorily.Many of the ch

55、emical compounds making up these synthetics are identical to those found in nature, and are as harmless or harmful as the natural substances. New products must be tested for safety, and when used in food, must be approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.The availability of synthetic flavors

56、 and fragrances has made possible a large variety of products, from inexpensive beverages to perfumed soap to used cars with applied new car odor.From the passage we can learn that.A natural flavorings and fragrances are not quite dearB the limitation of natural flavorings and fragrances is clearC t
