Most growing plants contain much more water than all other materials combined. C.R. Dames has suggested that it is as proper to term the plant a water structure as to call a house composed mainly of bricks as a brick building. It is certain that all the essential processes of plant growth and development occur in water. The mineral elements from the soil that are usable by the plant must be dissolved in the soil solution before they can be taken into the root. They are carded to all parts of the growing plant and are built into essential plant materials while in a dissolved state. The carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air may enter the leaf as a gas but is dissolved in the leaf before it is combined with a part of the water to form simple sugars — the base material from which the plant body is mainly built. Actively growing plant parts are generally 75 to 90 percent water. Structural parts of plants, such as woody stems no longer actively growing, may have much less water than growing tissues.
The actual amount of water in the plant at any one time, is only a very small part of what passes through it during its development. The processes of photosynthesis (光合作用), by which carbon dioxide and water are combined — in the presence of chlorophyll (叶绿素) and with energy derived from light — to form sugars, require that carbon dioxide from the air enter the plant. This occurs mainly in the leaf. The leaf surface is not solid but contains great numbers of minute openings, through which the carbon dioxide enters. The same structure that permits the one gas to enter the leaf, however, permits another gas — water vapor — to be lost from it. Since carbon dioxide is present in the air only in trace quantities (3 to 4 parts in 10,000 parts of air) and water vapor is near saturation in the air spaces within the leaf (at 80F, saturated air would contain about 186 parts of water vapor in 10,000 parts of air), the total amount of water vapor lost is many times the carbon dioxide intake. Actually because of wind and other factors, the loss of water in proportion to carbon dioxide intake may be even greater. Also, not all of the carbon dioxide that enters the leaf is synthesized into carbohydrates.
The second paragraph uses facts to develop the idea that ______ .
选项
A、a plant needs more water than is found in its composition
B、a plant efficiently utilizes most of the water it absorbs
C、the stronger the wind, the more water vapor the plant loses.
D、carbon dioxide is the essential substance needed for plant development
答案
A
解析
段落主旨大意归纳题。第二段第一句是本段的topic sentence:植物在任何特定时期的含水量都只是其生长过程中总需量的一小部分,由此推出A正确(第二段采用事实以说明植物所需水分比实际含水量多得多)。
