Space is dangerous. But human innovation has allowed people to explore this deadly

environment for decades. Within the protection of a space station, astronauts have enough air, food

and water to complete missions of a year or longer. But missions to further reaches of space are a

different matter. Establishing a base on the moon or sending humans to Mars seems just on the

horizon. That can only happen if innovative and safe ways are developed.

One company, Interstellar Labs, believes they have created a system that can solve the food

problem. They have developed an advanced system that can grow plants anywhere, even in space.

They call their artificial intelligence (AI) managed greenhouses BioPods, and they are designed to

be very efficient. In fact, Interstellar Labs claims that BioPods reduce the amount of land and

water needed to produce food by 99 percent. That is not an impossible claim. BioPods don’t use

any soil to grow plants, and the vast majority of water is recycled.

Plants are grown inside BioPods using aeroponics, the practice of hanging plants in the air

and spraying a mist of nutrient-rich water on their roots. According to Interstellar Labs, BioPod-

grown plants are up to 300 times more productive than traditionally grown plants, using only a

small amount of water.

The conditions inside of a BioPod are controlled by AI, which can change anything from the

lighting to the temperature and humidity. This improves growing conditions no matter what the

environment is, including the emptiness of space.

The BioPods can be built in almost any environment. The pod’s structure is made with a 3D

printer using raw materials in liquid form. This means that a BioPod could be built right on the

surface of the moon or Mars, making transporting a large structure unnecessary.

4．Which word can replace the underlined phrase “on the horizon” in paragraph 1?

A．Strange. B．Doubtful. C．Easy D．Approaching.

5．What can we learn about a BioPod?

A．It is the name of a company. B．It is a modern greenhouse.

C．It has been widely used in space. D．It’s 3D-printed with solid materials.

6．What is an advantage of BioPod-grown plants?

A．They make the most of soil. B．They don’t need any nutrients.

C．They are of higher production. D．They aren’t strict about conditions.

7．What is the text mainly about?

A．The application of AI in agriculture. B．Human’s efforts in space exploration.

C．The methods of improving food output. D．Growing food in space pods to feed

astronauts.

If you’ve spent any amount of time boating, fishing, or bird-watching at lakes and rivers, you

have most likely seen fishes jumping out of the water. I have seen it many times. Certainly, fishes

will exit water in desperate attempts to escape enemies. Dolphins take advantage of the behavior,

forming a circle and catching the frightened fishes in midair. But just as we may run fast from fun

or from fear, different emotions might motivate fishes to jump.

Mobula rays（蝠鲼）aren’t motivated by fear when they throw their impressive bodies—up

to a seventeen-foot wingspan (the distance from the end of one wing to the end of the other) and a

ton in weight—skyward in leap（跳跃）of up to ten feet. They do it in schools（鱼群）of

hundreds. They usually land on their bellies, but sometimes they land on their backs. Some

scientists think it might be a way of removing parasites（寄生虫）. But I think that the rays are

enjoying themselves.

In the clear waters of Florida’s Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge, I watched several

schools of fifty or more mullets（鲻鱼）moving in beautiful formation. Their well-built bodies

were most evident when they leaped from the water. Most of the time I saw one or two leaps by a

fish, but one made a series of seven. They usually land on their sides. Each jump was about a foot

clear of the water and two to three feet in length.

Nobody knows for sure why the fish leaps. One idea is that they do it to take in oxygen. The

idea is supported by the fact that mullets leap more when the water is lower in oxygen, but is

challenged by the likelihood that jumping costs more energy than is gained by breathing air. It is
