河南省安阳市殷都区2016-2017学年高二英语下学期期中试题 第Ⅰ卷 第一部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Many animals recognize their food because they see it.

But most will die if they are completely underwater for more than four days. Now, researchers have identified a gene（基因）that helps rice survive longer underwater. They say the discovery will lead to new kinds of rice plants that can survive flooding, and therefore reach their final aim, ensuring more dependable food supplies. Tests are now being done in Laos, Bangladesh and India. The researchers say experimental rice plants with the gene have survived underwater as long as two weeks. When f ... ...
