Plant “thermometer' triggers springtimegrowth by measuring night-time heat 2
植物如何通过调节自身温度适应春季生长
33. mention of specialistswho can make use of the research findings
specialists [ˈspɛʃəlɪsts] 专家
H部分最后
we have outstandingcollaborators nearby who work on more applied aspects of plant biology,and can help us transfer this new knowledge into thefield.'

34. a reference to a potential benefit of the research findings
D部分
Discovering the molecules that allowplants to sense temperature has the potential toaccelerate the breeding of crops resilient to thermal stress and climate change
35. scientific support for a traditional saying
G部分
the discovery of the dual role ofphytochromes provides the science behind a well-known rhyme long used to predict the coming season: oak before ash we'll have asplash, ash before oak we're in for a soak.
36. a reference to people traditionally making plansbased on plant behavior
C部分
warm winters cause many trees andflowers to bud early, something humans have longused to predict weather and harvest times for the comingyear
37. a reference to where the research has been reported
A 部分第2段
The new findings,published in the journal Science, show
Daffodils [ˈdæfədɪlz] 水仙花
Daffodils are likely to flower early in response to 38 weather.lf ash trees come into leaf before oak trees, the weather in 39 will probably be wet.Theresearch was carried out using a particular species of 40 .
38定位到G部分第1段
Other species,such asdaffodils,have considerable temperaturesensitivity,and can flower months in advance during a warmwinter.
39定位到G部分第2段
A cold spring will see the opposite. As theBritish know only too well,a colder summer islikely to be a rain-soaked one.'
40定位到H部分
The work was done in a model system,using a mustard plant called Arabidopsis,
