(2024·泰安一模)How do plants grow in space An experiment (实验) at the Tiangong space station can provide the answer．Chinese astronauts have successfully grown rice seedlings (幼苗)，which may show us how astronauts can cultivate food to support long-term space flights．
“The rice seedlings are growing very well，” Zheng Huiqiong，a scientist at the Center for Excellence in Molecular Plant Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences，told China Daily．Since the rice experiment began on July 29，2022，the seedlings of the tall shoot rice variety (高秆水稻品种) have reached a height of about 30 centimeters．Plus，the seedlings of the dwarf rice variety (矮秆水稻品种) have grown to around 5 centimeters．
While there have been other rice experiments in space，the one being conducted on Tiangong is the first of its kind．It aims to produce the complete life cycle of the plant，which begins with a seed and ends with a grown plant producing new seeds．
“The astronauts will keep studying the plants．If the experiment is successful，they will collect the newly produced seeds and bring them back to Earth for further studies，” Zheng added．
Since the 1980s，China has been taking the seeds of crops to space．But growing rice in orbit (轨道) is a different challenge due to the hard conditions in space．Micro-gravity，no air and high-energy cosmic rays (宇宙射线) may make it hard for the plants to grow．
Rice has been a staple food (主食) for astronauts for a long time．The US astronauts on the Apollo 11 mission—the first humans to land on the moon in July 1969—ate freeze-dried chicken and rice during their trip to space．
If such an experiment goes well，astronauts will be able to grow their food in orbit，reducing how much food has to be taken on space flights．
1．What does “cultivate”in Paragraph 1 probably mean
[A] find [B] grow
[C] waste [D] cook
2．What is the purpose of describing the heights of the rice varieties in Paragraph 2
[A] To make us interested in space exploration．
[B] To tell us about the scientists' work．
[C] To introduce different types of rice seedlings．
[D] To show the rice experiment is going well．
3．What does Paragraph 5 tell us
[A] China has taken the seeds of crops to space．
[B] There's no micro-gravity or air in space．
[C] Why it is difficult to grow rice in space．
[D] How rice is taken and grown in space．
4．What are the last two paragraphs mainly about
[A] Future space missions．
[B] The importance of the rice experiment．
[C] The best food choices for astronauts．
[D] Changes in astronauts' food through history．
